grew up with the O’Hara brothers. They’ve protected me and nurtured me all my life and I love each one of them with all my heart.” She smiled softly, touching his own fragile heart. “It’s not conventional¾or it wouldn’t have been in the old world¾but all three of them are my mates. I’m willing to bet if we performed your tests, all three of them would make that crystal glow.”
    Davin simply shook his head at this small woman’s generosity of spirit. “It’s true that when you touched Justin I heard the Hum, but I thought I must have been wrong. I don’t pretend to understand it, but then yours is a very unique situation I will admit. What my people did to the Earth and to your people is criminal. Perhaps this is a manifestation of the Divine’s work to aid you in rebuilding your world and your people.”
    Further discussion halted when the door opened and Justin walked in. Mick turned away to study his computers, his expression closed while Jane just looked nervous. But she was definitely willing to dare, extending her hand to the other man and beckoning him forward.
    “Justin, we’ve just been discussing Davin’s people and their traditions.”
    “Anything interesting?” he asked idly, taking his woman’s hand and Davin immediately heard the Hum.
    Mick noted it too on the computer and turned to show the others. He explained shortly about the Hum Davin heard, not going into full detail as Jane took the experiment to the next step. Mick replaced the crystal on the desk as she placed her palms over Justin’s, beckoning him down for a kiss. He complied with a bemused expression, but didn’t ask too many questions.
    Davin was surprised to see the crystal glow red orange and the Hum increase. Jane didn’t waste time deepening the Kiss into a full Embrace, not giving Justin a moment to think. Davin watched as the tall man aligned her supple body with his, plundering her mouth and delving deep within. It made him hot to watch this raw emotion and he only prayed he found a woman as compatible with him as this one was with her chosen mates. The crystal was glowing like the sun now and the Hum had increased in pitch.
    Jane looked relieved when Justin set her down and she smiled at them all.
    “Now what was that all about?” Justin demanded, a small quirk of his mouth showing that he knew something was going on, but was willing to indulge his woman.

    “Just testing a theory,” Jane said with a saucy smile. “Apparently only a true mate can make the crystal glow, according to Davin’s cultural traditions. I’m happy to report that both you and Mick are my true mates.”
    Justin tugged her close for a quick hug and peck on the cheek. “Hell, I could’ve told you that even without his fancy parlor tricks. You were born for us, Janie. You are our salvation.”
     
    “You have to go back soon, don’t you?” Jane asked as she bit delicately into a sandwich as she shared lunch with Davin a few days later.
    Davin nodded. “Tomorrow night, actually. But, if you permit…” he felt greatly daring as he approached the woman who could undoubtedly feel how important his next words were to him, “…I would like to come back.”
    Jane nodded and smiled. “I think I’d like that. But I may have to convince Justin and Mick a bit. Mick says you’ve been working hard on the exercises he’s given you.”
    It was Davin’s turn to nod. “Yes, and I will continue to do so. This way, when I return, perhaps I’ll be able to shield my emotions more completely from your daughter. I still want very much to know her.”
    Jane sighed. “She’s only fifteen, Davin.”
    “I understand your objections. But I really need to know.”
    “Why is this so important to you? Even if you do Hum and make the crystals glow, she’s too young.
    She’s still a child, Davin. Still a little girl in so many ways.”
    Davin cursed silently. “Knowing that I have a mate, even if she is too young to claim right now
