Bridging the Distance Read online

  “Of course, My Lady.” Bound made some room courteously and Torn growled assent and scooted a little as well.

  “I was just showing my brother some of our old pictures,” the Dark Twin said, frustration thick in his deep voice. “I thought seeing them might help him remember.”

  “But I fear nothing is coming back to me,” Bound said, looking sad. “Where did you go, My Lady?”

  “Just to get a few things for our sleepover.” Lorelei tried to keep her tone light but she could see the frown on Torn’s face.

  “Sleepover?” He raised his dark eyebrows. “What do you mean by that?”

  “I just thought…” Lorelei bit her lip. “I thought maybe sight isn’t the sense that will help Bound remember the most,” she said cautiously.

  “What? What do you mean?” Torn demanded.

  “When Bound and I were trying to bring you back from the effects of the nanites, it seemed to help when both of you were, well…close to me…touching me,” Lorelei felt flushed with embarrassment just saying the words but she also felt like this was the right thing to do. “And since it’s almost bedtime I thought maybe it would help if the three of us slept in the same bed together. Maybe if we have contact all night, Bound will wake up remembering more than he did the night before.”

  “So just…sleeping?” Torn asked, as though wanting to be sure of the rules. “Nothing more?”

  “For now, I think sleeping in the same bed together is enough,” Lorelei said firmly, but her heart was pounding. She looked back and forth between them. “So what do you say boys? Ready for a sleepover?”

  “I would love to sleep next to you, My Lady,” Bound answered softly. “And…I like the idea of sleeping with you between Torn and myself. The idea feels…right somehow.”

  “Feels right to me too,” Torn admitted grudgingly. “Better than staring at these stupid fucking holo pics all night.”

  “All right.” Heart pounding hard, Lorelei stood up. “Just give me a minute to change into my nighty and we can go to bed. You guys get ready too.”

  “Of course, My Lady,” Bound murmured and Torn nodded.

  “We’ll get in our sleep trousers.”

  “Okay.” Leaving the two of them still on the couch, Lorelei went into the bathroom—what the Kindred called a fresher—and quickly shed her boring day clothes to shimmy into the red and black lace nighty.

  There was a pair of skimpy red and black silk panties to go with the nighty, so thin and tiny they barely covered anything but the bottom half of her pussy slit. Feeling naughty, she pulled them on, adjusting them until the tiny triangle of crimson fabric felt right.

  She took a last look in the 3-D viewer—her hair fell in long, silky waves down her back and her nipples were tight with excitement—clearly visible through the thin red silk of the nighty. Between her thighs, her pussy was tingling with desire even though she told herself sternly that nothing was going to happen tonight.

  This is just about bringing Bound and Torn together and helping Bound get back some of his memories, she told herself sternly. But if that was true, then why was she getting so hot and bothered?

  Trying to ignore her reactions, Lorelei left the bathroom with a pounding heart and went to find the twins in their bedroom.

  They were already in bed, Torn on the right and Bound on the left, with a space left in the middle for her. Both were bare-chested and wearing long satin sleep trousers—Torn’s were black and Bound’s were blue, she saw.

  When she came into the room, both twins drew in their breath and Torn swore softly.

  “Gods, Little Mistress,” he growled. “You look fucking amazing.”

  “You’re beautiful, My Lady,” Bound murmured. “Come lie between us.”

  Feeling hot and flushed all over, Lorelei climbed onto the bed with them and went to settle between the two big, muscular male bodies.

  “All right, boys,” she said, smiling nervously. “Let’s cuddle.”

  “Mmm…so soft,” Bound murmured as he took her in his arms. “I’ve never had the pleasure of being with an Elite before.”

  “Yes, you have,” Torn growled as he spooned her from behind. “The three of us were together—in a limited way—before those damn Genoshians broke into our ship and stole your memories.”

  “Forgive me.” The Light Twin looked crestfallen. “I…did not remember.”

  “Maybe this will help jog your memory.” Feeling reckless, Lorelei took one of his big hands and put it on her breast.

  “My Lady?” Bound looked at her uncertainly. “I thought you said we were only going to ‘cuddle.’”

  “This is cuddling…in a way,” Lorelei said breathlessly. “I just thought…maybe if you…if you touched me the same way you did the last time we were all together it might help you remember.”

  “Oh?” The Light Twin gently traced the hard point of her nipple through the silky red of her nightdress. “And how exactly did I touch you, My Lady?”

  “You did what you’re doing now.” Lorelei nodded down at his hand. “But…I was naked.”

  “Sounds like we need to have bare skin for this to work,” Torn growled behind her. He reached around and tugged the front of her nighty down.

  Lorelei gasped but didn’t protest as her full breasts came into view. If there was even the slightest chance they could bring Bound’s memory back she was willing to do anything it took.

  What—anything? whispered a little voice in her head as Bound began to tug gently at her tight nipples.

  Yes, she thought defiantly, anything. I took an oath that I would bring them back together—if this is what it takes, then I’ll do it gladly.

  “Here,” she told the Light Twin breathlessly. “You…you used more than your hands on me, Bound. You…you used your mouth as well.”

  “I think both of us did,” Torn growled.

  Bound’s intense blue eyes was suddenly heavy-lidded with lust.

  “Is that right, My Lady?” he murmured. “Did my brother and I suck your sweet nipples at the same time?”

  “Yes,” Lorelei whispered. “You…you did.”

  “And do you want us to do it again?” Bound asked, lifting one blond eyebrow.

  “I think it might help you if you did.” Lorelei tried to sound professional, as if she was only doing this to help Bound recover his memory. But it was hard to seem detached and businesslike when she turned on her back and offered her bare breasts to both twins.

  With a low groan, Torn took her right nipple eagerly, sucking hard and then nipping lightly to make her moan and gasp. Bound took a little longer, she saw—he was watching his twin suck her nipple with a frown of concentration on his face as though trying to remember if he’d seen this sight before. Then he bent to take her left nipple in his hot mouth and swirl his tongue around the tingling tip.

  Lorelei moaned in unrestrained pleasure to feel herself between the twin warriors once more. The electric flow of sexual desire between them was addictive and the feel of their big hands roving all over her body felt so right…so hot. It was exactly what she needed—what they all needed, she was sure.

  “My Lady…” Bound looked up at her, his eyes burning with need. “I seem to remember something. Was I…did I give you kisses between your legs the last time we were together?”

  Lorelei bit her lip. This was going farther than she had meant to and yet…it still felt right.

  “Yes,” she admitted at last. “First you watched your brother give me, uh, kisses and then you did it yourself. Would you…would you like to again?”

  “Taste our lady’s sweet pussy, Brother,” Torn said, looking up from the nipple he’d been torturing so sweetly. “I promise she has the sweetest honey of any you’ve ever tasted.”

  “Maybe…maybe you could just kiss me over my panties to start with,” Lorelei said, trying to slow things down a little. Things were getting awfully intimate awfully fast—it made her feel sexy and shy and hot and nervous all at the same time.
