Excerpt:

How much of Malvena resided in Vena?

Being with Vena, Erac felt his anger was slipping away, but he would never forgive the witch, and should any harm have come to his siblings, what would he do?

Erac could never hurt Vena or Gemma. And now there was Jason whom he'd protect also. What steps was he prepared to take when he had to shield them from his own family? That was a prospect he didn't want to face, but well knew it would come to that.

Etah, his sister, could be particularly nasty. The mysticism of Stonehenge usually overrode evilness. But Etah had their maker's blood too. He must have been a vile man. Over the years, there were times Erac had subdued his own anger and not lashed out at humans.

Revenge would drive Etah to Vena's door.

She never bothered to curb her baser instincts and her brothers and Rekat often had to protect others from her.

He jumped at the sound of Jason's voice.

"I've never considered being with a man."

READ MORE

Thoughts of Etah were pushed from Erac's mind.

"Enjoying sex, the closeness of another, does not necessarily carry a male or female role.” He moved behind the man's seat. "Gars enjoy sex. Experiencing the joy and feeling of touching and tasting another is not relative to gender." His hands stroked Jason's neck, rubbed his shoulders. "We spend lifetimes bringing ecstasy to those we love and care for."

Erac let Jason think, it had to be his choice.

"I couldn't satisfy Vena, it made me feel inadequate and I would leave her." The pain in his words jolted Erac. "I always loved her and I'd end up coming back. She never turned me away."

He felt a tremor shoot through Jason. A flood of warmth for the man filled his heart. Yes, he'd protect him from as much pain as he could. Vena loved him and soon, Erac would too. That was their way.

"Now, with you, we can satisfy her?"

"Yes."

"What is it about you that...that makes me want to taste you, feel you in my body?" His head tilted, his blue eyes stared at Erac. "You've cast some kind of spell on me."

"I don't have that ability." He continued to massage the tenseness out of Jason's shoulders, moved his hands down his back and kneaded the muscles. "What you want with me is a natural extension of your feeling for Vena. The more we have of her, exchange fluids, the more we will want each other." Erac brought one hand up and ran his fingers through the thick blond strands that were slightly darker than his.

Christ. His cock bowed up in front of him straining for attention. He wanted to plunge it through the man's lips, find sweet release in his mouth. It wouldn't be one-sided; he'd give Jason anything he wanted to make him feel good and happy.

And if Jason chose not to want him--Erac would give him that too.

"I like women."

"I love women." Erac retorted.

"I...I think I want you."
