Free Casey's Warriors (Bondmates) by Ann Mayburn

think of a more perfect way to bless the ground than with their release. Pulling out he quickly rolled Lorn over and grabbed his blood brother’s throbbing erection before fisting his own aching cock. Looking into Lorn’s brilliant blue eyes he jerked them off together until the pleasure became too much and he threw his head back, roaring out his pleasure while Lorn did the same, their combined seed splashing over Lorn’s stomach as wave after wave of pleasure crashed into him and tore him apart.
    Collapsing onto Lorn he rolled over onto his side and with a shaking hand scooped off their pale lilac seed and spread it on the grass between them.
    Lorn smiled at him, his voice shaky as he said, “Blessing the garden? You can take the boy off the farm but you can’t take the farm out of the boy.”
    Chuckling, Nast continued to anoint the earth with their combined passion. “Yeah yeah. Just because you city dwellers have forgotten how to thank the Lord of Life for his gifts doesn’t mean all of us have. I want this to be her place of refuge, Lorn. I want her to be able to come here when the stress of the world becomes too great, so she can lose herself in the peace and beauty we’ll make for her here. I know you think my western continent traditions are foolish, but I know how hard it is for the brides of our galaxy to leave their homes, let alone one that has no idea we even exist. I want her to love Kadothia as much as we do, to find comfort in it because she’s going to be so far from her home world.”
    Lorn blinked at him for a moment before clasping him tight. He pressed the scrap of cloth into Nast’s hand. “We will be her comfort, Nast. We will love her so often and so well that she will never know a moment of loneliness. And we will never have to leave her, never have to return to the battlefront because keeping her safe will become our world. You just need to keep your foolish ass alive long enough for me to win her heart.”
    “Don’t worry. I’ll be deep in the safe zone babysitting new Warriors.”
    “It would be just my luck that you would be killed by some stupid child dropping his weapon and discharging it at your head.”
    They chuckled together and Nast stared at Lorn, committing his blood brother’s face to his mind. Born of the elite ruling class of Kadothia, Lorn had the refined features of his ancestors, a square jaw and high cheekbones along with full, sensual lips. His dark skin set off his brilliant silver hair, and the shifting blues of his eyes always entranced Nast. He was beyond lucky the Lord of Life had seen fit to gift him with such a good man as a blood brother. He considered the rumors the Earth women, who had been bonded by the advance Scouts so far, reacted very negatively to taking on a second husband. Scout Nilin’s bond had almost been broken because of his bondmate’s horror at the thought of taking a second husband, and even worse, another Scout had lost his bride before a bond could be formed because she couldn’t accept two men loving each other as anything other than a sin. That Scout had taken his own life as result and his blood brother followed him soon after.
    He would not let that happen to Lorn.
    Nast closed his eyes and rubbed his cheek against Lorn’s head, their silver and blood red hair blending together in the soft breeze. Lowering his voice even though no one was anywhere near close enough to hear them he said, “I’m afraid, Lorn. I’ve waited so long, wanted and dreamed of her for so long, but what if she can’t accept more than one husband? It would hurt but it would flat out kill me if you let that come between the two of you. You must promise me you won’t push her into anything she doesn’t want to do.”
    Fierce determination with a hint of apprehension came from Lorn through their still wide open bond. “Don’t be afraid, because she will love us, both of us.”
    “How do you know?”
    Pulling back enough so he could look Nast in the eye
