Free Camille's Capture by Evanne Lorraine

taunting himself over nonexistent possibilities.
    “We are united in agreement.” With their course of action settled, Aegis’s urge to mate surged stronger than before. 
    In a more perfect universe, Aegis would have chosen a moonlit shore for their first intimate encounter. The compact interior cabin of a fighter was an elegant marvel of functional efficiency, however the ship lacked ambience.
    His recent injuries left him with a few tender spots, but he was not worried about the residual soreness. Tethysians healed quickly. The remaining aches would be gone by tomorrow. None of the damage was serious enough to interfere with claiming his mates. To consummate the bond while locked in the cramped cabin was far from ideal.
    Cami’s presence stimulated his drive to reproduce and stripped his control at an alarming rate, removing his options. The woman ignored his impenetrable barriers, fitting perfectly into his arms.
    He embraced her, acting on an instinct as powerful and automatic as breathing the humans’ dry air. She streaked into his life like a small comet brushing against him, changing everything. With the first gentle contact, her safety and well-being became his number-one priority.
    If the human warrior joined them, then the combination of Jaxon’s and Aegis’s sperm could fertilize her ovum. Fighting his primal urge to claim them as his mates would be as futile as defying the laws of physics.
    After intimate contact with the matches designed for him, a different mania followed—mating frenzy—the undeniable need for claiming sex. He might have days or hours of sanity left, again he had no way to judge. The mating imperative already grew stronger, heating his blood.
    Jaxon’s classic warrior features softened with hope. A glimmer lit his dark eyes. The expression on the man’s face could have melted a heart of stone.
    A few hours ago, Aegis believed himself immune to such tender emotions. Cami proved him wrong.
    The ir triad presented enough challenges without the added complications of mistrust and anger. Reactions he expected from Jaxon once his mask of humanity vanished. The betrayed did not care about reasons. How could he ever understand why Aegis had lived such a fundamental lie for so long?
    “The Space Corps will send up fighters. We’ll retake the station and refuel.” Aegis willed calm confidence into his words.
    Both Jaxon and Cami impulsively embraced him.
    For a few seconds, he closed his eyes, absorbing the miracle of their touch.
    Cami’s small body, so exquisite—silky, soft, and sweet to his senses—pressed tightly against him. Her lush curves cradled his hard edges, inflaming a ravenous need.
    At the same time, Jaxon wrapped powerful arms tight around Aegis’s torso while the warrior’s strong body pressed into his backside. The thick rope of Jaxon’s arousal wedged between his butt cheeks. His friend’s rugged chin, rough with beard stubble, scratched the sensitive scales on the side of Aegis’s neck. He burrowed nearer as if unable to get close enough. One work-roughened hand slipped free of the ferocious hug and massaged Aegis’s scalp. Clever fingers found the base of his knobby horns.
    J olts of pleasure shot directly to Aegis’s already straining cock. His glamour melted away under the thrill of the forbidden caress. Too excited to worry, he tilted his head, seeking more contact with those strong, talented hands.
    Jaxon stiffened and stumbled back, staring at him with widened eyes. “What in the seven hells are you?”
    The warrior’s horror hit Aegis ’s gut in an icy blast of reality. He cringed and covered the second of vulnerability with a stony mask.
     
    Cami shook off the intoxication of the males, moving closer to insert herself between them. She caught and held Jaxon’s gaze. “Why don’t you save the attitude for the real enemies?”
    The warrior drew in a breath as if to argue. She cut him off with a raised palm. “I don’t know what your problem with
