Free Rite Men for Maya by Zenobia Renquist Page A

incidents or run-ins. The men refused the towels she offered. Both were highly aroused. Maya ached to feel those twin shafts of hard flesh buried deep inside of her.
    But they needed to talk. She didn’t know where to start, though. She looked between Kessen and Tam, and then noticed something she hadn’t before. “You’re both walking.”
    Tam laughed.
    Kessen nodded. “Yes, we are.”
    “But how? You said you never tried legs before.”
    “We acquired the transition amulets shortly after the rite. We’ve been practicing all this past week for the time when you would accept us outside of the dream world.” Kessen stroked the backs of his fingers over her cheek. “We wanted there to be no excuses.”
    His touch sent electric shocks of need throughout her body. She wanted to give in to the feeling but there was another matter that had to come first. Stepping back out of Kessen’s reach, she said, “Before we… uh…”
    “Hump like hares?” Kessen asked.
    Tam asked, “Screw like bunnies?”
    “Redefine and reinvent the act.”
    “Fu --”
    “Stop it. That’s enough,” she yelled.
    Tam pulled her into his arms and covered her flaming cheeks with small kisses. “You are so shy. I love teasing you.” He feathered his fingers over her taut nipple
    She gasped and arched into his touch.
    “Tam, I think she wants to talk before we play.” Kessen freed her from Tam and sat her on the couch. He took up position on one side of her and Tam sat on the other. “I feel your unease, my heart. What is it?”
    “Daddy told me you’re a priest of Neptune. I didn’t know that.”
    “There’s much you don’t know, but it’s not something worth worrying about. We’ll work together to learn all that needs knowing.”
    “I… I’ve never wanted to live in the ocean.”
    “Then we won’t.”
    She jerked her gaze up and looked at Kessen in disbelief. “You can’t mean that? I may be ignorant about a lot of things, but I know being a priest of Neptune is important. It’s also not an optional vocation. You can’t do it properly if you’re not in the ocean.”
    “I won’t do it at all if it means I can’t be with you.” He leaned into her and placed the softest of kisses on her lips.
    She wanted to give in to his affection but pulled back. “But, you’d never be happy living on land. I… I don’t know why I know that but I do.”
    “Because you know us like we know you.” Tam turned her head so she faced him. “That is part of our bond. Though our time together has been short, we know instinctively more about each other than we think.”
    “You and Kessen know more about each other because you’ve been together for so long.”
    “Only a year. We met at the previous virility-fertility rite. Even though Kessen spoke to my soul and I to his, we both knew there was something missing.”
    Kessen said, “This year, I was selected as a chosen. The gods also granted Tam the status of a chosen once more so that we could find you -- our third.”
    “We plan to live wherever you choose,” Tam said.
    Maya said, “I won’t take Kessen from his duty.”
    “You won’t be happy living in the ocean, either,” Kessen said softly. “I can serve Neptune just as well here as I can in the ocean. The beach is his domain, and the commute to his temple is not that far. At least I won’t have to worry about getting fat, like some I could mention.” He looked at Tam.
    “I am not getting fat.” Tam patted his flat stomach. “This is all muscle, lover.”
    Kessen made a non-committal sound.
    Maya hid a laugh behind her hand.
    “Was that your only worry?” Kessen squeezed her thigh.
    She nodded, unable to speak. The looks Kessen and Tam gave her had her body all flushed with anticipation. “So, we’re married.”
    “Yes,” they both said.
    Tam stood. He bent and scooped Maya onto his shoulder, then faced the bedrooms. “Which way to the pool room?”
    “Wait! My parents want us over for dinner tonight.
