Maxim, however, seemed to have other ideas on that matter.  He lifted his mouth from her hand and tugged gently on her arm, urging her to move closer to him.  Summer complied, unable to stop herself.  She liked the way he was making her feel and, common sense and logic aside, she wanted this.  She wanted to know what this felt like and she wanted to know what came next. 

She inched forward on her knees until her thighs touched his, still gazing deeply into his golden eyes.  Maxim released her hand and, moving very slowly, as though afraid to startle her, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and lifted her up as he lowered himself into a sitting position on the mat.  He lowered her into his lap and her legs wrapped around his waist as though she’d done it a hundred times.  Her arms went up and around his neck almost of their own volition, but she barely noticed as Maxim lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her.

The kiss started out light, gentle and slow, coaxing her patiently until she parted her lips for him.  Then his tongue caressed her lips so slowly, as though memorizing her taste and feel.  Summer hardly dared breathe as her entire being focused on this moment, this sensation, the feel of Maxim’s tongue against her lips, the scent of him, the taste of him.  When he slipped his tongue between her lips and into her mouth, she sighed with pleasure and opened her mouth wider for him.

As the kiss deepened Summer lost herself in the pure eroticism of it.  The sensation of Maxim’s lips against her lips, his tongue against hers, inside of her mouth, then her tongue inside of his, the feel of his body against hers, his hands pressing her closer, the heat and taste and feel of it all was so new and so intensely delicious.  When Maxim broke the kiss, gently lifting his mouth from hers, she found herself panting with excitement, her entire body zinging with sensations unlike anything she had ever imagined.

She felt Ran move up behind her, his hands, so hot she was surprised they didn’t burn her as he placed them at her waist.  She felt another set of hands, Loni’s she knew, reach over and carefully lift her hair away from her neck so that Ran had access to it.  He immediately leaned forward and pressed his lips against a spot just behind her ear that caused her entire body to shiver.  Ran rewarded her shiver by rubbing his teeth lightly against her skin.  Her body jerked at the intensely pleasurable sensation and she moaned softly.  Ran’s mouth worked its way to the nape of her neck and she tilted her head forward to give him better access.  He licked a spot just at the top of her spine, then nipped it carefully.  Her body shuddered uncontrollably, her pussy so wet that she knew they could not help but scent her. 

Maxim placed a finger beneath her chin and she responded to the light pressure, lifting her eyes to his, her belly tightening at the heat in his golden eyes.  “We want you,
kilenka
,” he said, his voice hoarse with his own passion.  “We want you more than anything, right here, right now.”

Summer hesitated in spite of her own need.  “I have never done this before,” she said. 

“Nor have we,” Maxim replied.

“You have never had sex before?” Summer asked with a frown.  “In over 500 years?”

Maxim smiled and leaned down to kiss away her frown.  “We have had sex,” he said.  “Not in several hundred years, but we have experienced it.”

Summer wondered briefly why they had not had sex in so long, but put that question away for another time. 

“What we have not done is make love,” Maxim continued, “which is what we wish to do with you.”

Summer smiled, though tears stung her eyes.  She was a little surprised to hear Maxim say something so romantic, but everything in her knew that his words were honestly felt.  And not just by him.  She felt Ran and Loni’s emotions too, as strongly as she felt her own.

“What if someone comes in?” she asked, unable to keep herself from worrying about that.  She did not want a sudden audience for this.

“Do not worry,” Ran said into her ear.  “I have used air magic to lock the outer door.  None shall enter and disturb us.”

Summer took a deep breath, her eyes still locked with Maxim’s.  “All right,” she said softly, feeling a new thrill of excitement rush through her at her decision.

“No,” Loni said suddenly.  They all froze and looked to Loni, Summer suddenly afraid of what he was going to say. 

“No, beautiful one,” he said, smiling at her gently.  “I only think you deserve better than to have our first joining here, in this public chamber, rather than the privacy and comfort of a bed in a locked room.”

Summer smiled at him.  “Thank you Loni,” she said, “but this is fine.”

“No,” Maxim said.  “He is correct.”

“Yes, he is,” Ran agreed as he released her.  Maxim stood up while still holding her, seemingly without effort.  “You do deserve better,” he said.  “You deserve better than much of what you have received from me so far.”  Summer smiled up at him and he bent to kiss her lightly on the nose.  “Hold on tight
kilenka,
” he warned, “we will move quickly now.”

Summer tightened her arms around Maxim’s neck, though she knew that there was nothing that would make him drop her whether she held to him or not.  Suddenly the world around her blurred in that familiar way that told her they were moving almost too quickly for the human eye to see.  Before she knew it, they were all standing before her stateroom door.

“What about the elevator?” she asked curiously.  She had thought they would have to stop moving for that, but they hadn’t. 

“We took the stairs,” Ran replied with a grin.  “Much faster.”

“We ask that we be invited into your room,” Maxim said, his tone a little more formal than usual.

“My room?” she asked. 

“Yes,” Maxim replied.  “We gave you the room designed for a male-set and their mate in hopes that you would eventually accept us.”

Summer laughed.  “So that is why the bed is so big!  I wondered about that.”  She shook her head at her own naiveté.  She should have figured that one out, but it simply had not occurred to her.  “Of course you are invited in,” she said. 

All three of the Katres smiled and Ran reached over to open the door.  A moment later they were all in her stateroom, the door closed and locked behind them.  Only now Summer felt a little shy. 

Maxim set her on her feet and studied her carefully.  “Do not worry,
kilenka
, we will reignite your passion in just a moment,” he said.

“What does that mean,
kilenka
?” Summer asked as she watched Ran and Loni turn down the covers on the huge bed.

“It means
little cat
,” Maxim said.  “Or,
kitten
.”

Summer lowered her brows in a mock frown.  “I am not little,” she said.  “Nor am I a cat.”

Maxim grinned.  “Happily you are not any smaller than you are or we would be terrified of breaking you,” he replied.  “And we can only hope that, one day, you will agree to the mating ritual, and become our little cat in truth.”

Summer really did not know what to say to that, but apparently Maxim did not expect a response as he picked her up and carried her to the bed. 

“I can walk you know,” she said, trying not to sound snippy, but feeling a bit uncomfortable with all of this carrying around stuff.

“Yes, you certainly can,” Ran said, his tone very suggestive, but of what Summer did not know.  She arched a brow at him in question as Maxim lowered her to the bed, setting her on the edge of it so that her feet were on the floor.

“Watching you walk is one of the most joyful things I have done in centuries,” Ran said as he climbed onto the bed behind where she sat.

Summer started to laugh at him, then remembered herself watching the three of them as they had walked down the hall that morning.  Okay, she thought, I get that.

Maxim ran his hands from her waist down over her hips, and down her legs, leaving a tingling path of heat behind.  He lowered himself to the floor and began removing her shoes as Ran lifted the hem of her shirt very slowly until he reached the level of her breasts. 

“Raise your arms,
saritu
,” he whispered softly into her ear.  She silently complied, again feeling nervous but at the same time, so curious as to what would come next.

She felt Loni climb onto the bed behind her with Ran, and suddenly wondered why it was she did not feel in the least bit strange having three men about to make love to her.  But then, she had always thought that three men sounded more normal to her than one.  That was why she had chosen to come to Jasan to begin with.

Ran lifted her shirt off over her head and tossed it aside as Maxim did the same with her shoes and socks.  She felt Loni fumble a moment with the catch on her bra, then felt it suddenly loosen and slip down her arms.  She automatically folded her arms across her chest, feeling shy again.

Ran and Loni coaxed her to lie back on the bed, Loni moving to her left and Ran to her right as Maxim began unfastening her jeans.  Loni and Ran gently unfolded her arms and slipped her bra off.  She felt her nipples harden in the cool air and shivered a little.

“Are you cold?” Loni asked. 

“No, I don’t think so,” she said.  “I’m not really sure what I feel just now.”

Ran smiled, then leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips.  She shivered again, but this time she knew it was not from cold. Ran’s tongue slipped into her mouth so slowly and sweetly that it almost brought tears to her eyes.  Within moments the soft, gentle kiss soon became deep and hot.  Summer’s hands came up and buried themselves in his mane of golden hair, pulling him closer to her, wanting more.  Ran gave her what she wanted, plunging his tongue into her mouth over and over again. 

The kiss was so intense, so passionate, that Summer barely noticed when Maxim slid her pants off of her, then lifted her legs up over his shoulders.  When his hot, slightly rough tongue took a long, slow lick of her pussy she groaned helplessly into Ran’s mouth.  Ran raised his head and smiled down at her.

“You are so exquisitely beautiful,” he said as he ran his fingers lightly over one breast, his eyes drinking her in.  He had never seen a woman who came close to Summer in beauty.  She was long limbed and graceful, with a tiny waist and sweet, perfectly shaped breasts tipped with deep pink nipples.  Nipples that were, at the moment, long and hard, beckoning him to taste.  It was an invitation he could not ignore.  He bent his head to curl his tongue around one, smiling to himself when he felt it harden further beneath his tongue.  He opened his mouth and sucked the long, hard nipple into his mouth, lashing it gently with his tongue.  Summer arched her back, pressing her breast toward him in a silent plea for more.  He set his teeth carefully at the base of her nipple and sucked harder, his cock throbbing painfully against his jeans when she moaned in reaction.

Loni leaned down to kiss Summer, his lips meeting hers lightly and gently at first.  She reached up and slid her fingers into his hair, urging him closer, needing him to kiss her hard and deep.  She loved how different each of them tasted, how different each of them felt when they kissed her, how differently they each touched her.  Even though they looked exactly alike, she knew she would never confuse them with each other.  Even their scents were unique. 

Loni moaned softly and Summer’s body reacted instantly to the sound with a new wave of arousal.  She slid her hands down Loni’s shoulders to his chest, then his waist.  She gripped the hem of his shirt and began tugging it up, wanting to feel his bare skin against her, but not wanting to break the kiss to ask for it. 

Loni broke the kiss anyway, lifting his head just enough to look into her eyes.  “Do you want me to take off my shirt?” he asked.

“No,” Summer said, nearly gasping for air she was so aroused.  “I want you to take off everything.  All three of you.”

Loni smiled and rose up on his knees to comply with her request.  A moment later Ran and Maxim did the same.  In seconds Summer was gazing at the three most incredibly beautiful male bodies she had ever seen.  They were all long, lean muscle covered with warm golden skin that looked so smooth and velvety that she couldn’t wait to run her fingers over them. 

Maxim resumed his position between her legs and began licking the insides of her thighs with long, slow strokes of his tongue.  Ran lay down beside her and began licking her as well, tracing the long line of her ribs with his hot, slightly rough tongue.  Loni bent down started nibbling at her neck, working his way slowly down to her shoulder.

At first, Summer was a little tense with the idea of being licked all over, but the hot, long licks were so erotic that she could not help but relax into it.  After a few moments, she began to feel something new, something incredibly soft and long was being stroked over the skin of her other leg.  She opened her eyes and raised her head to see that it was Maxim’s tail lock.  A moment later Ran’s tail lock began drifting lightly over her stomach, and Loni’s reached over and began brushing over her breasts and teasing her nipples. 

The contrasts between the hot, rough tongues and the soft, cool tail locks caused Summer’s arousal to spike so high she began shivering, her skin pebbling, her nipples so hard they almost hurt.  When Maxim finally worked his mouth back to her pussy, she nearly climaxed with his first long, slow lick. 

Loni and Ran both shifted position at that moment, each of them taking one of her long nipples into their hot, moist mouths, causing her to arch with a new wave of intensity.  Again she almost climaxed, but not quite.  Summer moaned softly, her head turning from side to side in distress.  These sensations were too strong, too intense, and she was feeling too much.  She wanted to push them away and pull them closer, both at the same time and couldn’t do either.  A soft whimper escaped her that she wasn’t aware of.  But Loni, Ran and Maxim all heard it, and understood her problem.
