Sex Me Down
Eventually you will want me to—to …” She waved her hands.
    “You know what I mean. Don’t make me say it.”
    Her cheeks heated with her mortification. Must they always make her voice everything? They knew what she meant. They had to. Did they really need to hear that she feared the physical intimacy they would both expect from her this night? It was one thing to read about it, to crave it in her dreams. It was something completely different to live it. She wasn’t sure she could.
    “It is your destiny,” Fane said, resting his hand lightly on her thigh.
    “Will you two stay out of my head?” She wrenched away and stood, trying to escape them. All she wanted to do was to run back to her room where she could lock herself in, where she would once again be safe.
    And alone, Laynee. Do you really want to remain alone, with only your dreams to warm you?

    The strange voice in her head gave her pause. Who are you?
    You know who I am. Your sister told you I would come to you. The universe needs your unique talents to defeat the Banarts. Without you and your mates, all is for naught. I must have you all. Laynee nearly cried out with her frustration. I don’t think I can. I don’t know how to love. Not like that. I’m not who you want, who you need. She paced across the room, her hands wrapped around her middle, trying to sort out the myriad feelings zinging through her.
    Never fear, you know how to love these two men just the way they each need to be loved. You are the only one capable of it. Only you have the power to see deep into these men’s souls. Only you can see their true worth. This is your one chance at love, Laynee. At life. Do not pass this up for fear or your need for safety. Remember, the truly courageous are those who are frightened of the unknown, yet do not allow that fear to stop them from doing what they most want to do. You know you want those two men. Your mind may lie to you but your body and your heart never learned how to lie. Listen to them.
    Laynee stopped pacing and sighed. She wasn’t sure, but she suspected the voice was that of the Lady Goddess. Who would know more about what she was capable of than the Great Mother herself? She knew Laynee’s every strength, every weakness and still the Lady insisted that this was 40

    the one thing she was meant to do.
    She turned back to the men sitting on her sofa and suppressed a smile. She knew one thing. She really needed to get Fane some clothes. He couldn’t seem to keep himself covered. She blushed and looked away when she remembered they could read her mind. Fane covered himself and they both held out their hands, inviting her to join them. Should she join them, or should she run for the relative safety of her bedroom? She looked from them to her bedroom door and gauged the distance. She was sure she could make it. Turning back to the two drop dead gorgeous men sitting in her living room, she sighed and turned her back on her room. She wanted this. She wanted them and the only way to have them was to agree to the claiming. Swallowing around the lump in her throat she gathered her courage around her like a blanket, lifted her chin and approached her mates.

    Sayre swallowed thickly. Do you see that, Fane? She wears her courage like a badge. It shimmers around her, keeping her warm in its embrace. Fane’s eyes widened. Is that what that is? I see the magic surrounding her. I’m not sure she’s aware she does that. It makes her even more beautiful than before 41

    and I didn’t think that was possible. Neither did I, Sayre agreed. He watched silently, waiting for her to approach on her own. It must be her choice to join with them. He would not be a party to taking any female—especially his mate—
    against her will. He knew Fane would not either. It was just as well. Being so much alike would make them good triad mates.
