I picked at a piece of bread, something like a croissant but with fruit inside. “I expected to be… dominated. Ordered about. Taken.”

All of them frowned at my words. “I’ve never met either of them, but they seemed like perfectly normal, powerful and bossy Prillons to me,” Lindsey said.

Caroline nodded.

“I met Niklas once. He came to The Colony for a meeting with Maxim and the other governors of the planet.” Rachel waved her hand. “It was way before you showed up. He seemed nice. Diplomatic. Hot, but it seems like every alien is hot.”

Everyone agreed. I couldn’t deny it, but I thought Nik and Sam were the hottest of them all. So did my pussy. I shifted in my chair.

“It was a fun night. I’ll never forget it. I definitely got what I came for.”

The girls stared at me, then giggled.

Yeah, I’d definitely gotten what I’d come for. Double the cocks, double the hands, double the mouths. There had to be some mathematical formula tied to those numbers and the total orgasms I’d had.

“They left though. I mean, I’d made it very clear it was just while I was here, this… fling. But I didn’t expect to wake up alone, you know? I guess when I said it was a one-night stand, they took me literally.”

“They didn’t want to leave you. They had to.” We all turned at Jessica’s words. She shifted in her chair and settled back with her arms crossed. “We just said we didn’t want to talk about war, but our mates never stop fighting, do they?”

Rachel sighed. “No, they don’t.”

“From the hickey I see on your neck, they weren’t fighting the Hive last night,” Rachel said, using her fork to point at the queen’s neck.

Jessica blushed and absently ran her fingers over her dark red collar. “Fine, I got a little sidetracked with Nial this morning after Ander left.” She looked to me. “So… Ambassador Niklas and Captain Sambor. I saw you leave the party with them last night.”

It was my turn to flush hotly. “I’m so sorry. I know that it was your party and all, but—”

She set her hand on my wrist. “Girlfriend, those two are fine. F.I.N.E. I don’t blame you for ducking out. The way those guys danced to the Electric Slide, it was good timing. They might have gotten hurt, and then what would have happened?”

“No dick for Lucky Lucy,” Caroline singsonged.

I put my hands over my face.

“I didn’t mean to make you upset,” Jessica said, her words soft. “Lindsey told me about your plan.”

I gave Lindsey a death glare. Really? She’d told the freaking queen of Prillon Prime that I was on the prowl and wanted to find some hot, single warriors to hook up with?

“I also heard how protective Warlord Wulf is over you,” she added. “So I totally get it. And you picked two hotties to have a good time with.”

?

??Thanks. They were… good.”

She smiled and arched a brow like a wicked queen, not the sweet one she seemed to be. “Just good?”

They were all staring at me now. Waiting. Damn it. There went my redheaded complexion again. I was probably the color of a ripe tomato.

“Okay. Fine. They were incredible. Rocked my world. Three times. No, four.”

“If you can’t remember, then they were doing it right!” Rachel added.

“Yes. They were doing it right. And then they left.” I brought it up because I was still bothered by the fact that I’d fallen asleep nestled between two of the hottest warriors ever to have existed. I’d been warm, safe, sated and happier than in the past few months. Probably years. And then? Nothing. Which was exactly what I’d told them I wanted. It was what I’d wanted when I transported here. I had a family on The Colony. Olivia and Wulf and the kids. I loved Tanner and Emma like they were my own. Olivia was a sister in every way that counted. I couldn’t leave them. Could I?

No.

So why was I so upset? I woke up alone in bed every day. Usually it didn’t bother me. In fact, I wasn’t much for sharing the covers. And I kicked, or so I’d been told by an old boyfriend years ago. But he’d been a bit of an asshole, so maybe my subconscious had been acting out its dark fantasies when I was asleep.

I blinked, realized I’d been staring into space again as Jessica leaned forward. “Like I said, they didn’t leave because they were done with you. Ander said he was headed to another meeting with the IC commander and Ambassador Niklas. Since Sambor is his guard, no doubt he is with them.”
