The shock of the cooler air after the beach gave Paetri the shivers;
she was glad that she'd remembered to dress for the colder weather
after the day's wonderful afternoon. Her body still hummed with
R'axe's touch and after being kissed by both the sun and him, she was
ready just to lay back in the comfort of her bed and bask. Camilth
landed on her ledge and Paetri hurried inside, stripping off her heavy
jacket and uncharacteristically tossing it aside. The brazier was lit
and gave off pleasant warmth. She didn't remember lighting it. She
blinked, then turned, seeing J'kri. Remembering what she and R'axe had
done, she flushed. "J'kri...you're done with drills."

"Yeah. Did you have a good day?" He came over to give her a kiss on the cheek.

Her face got a little redder and she let out a squeak at the question.
"Uh huh. Great." She kissed him back on the cheek and wondered if she
should tell him. She didn't hide anything from J'kri. And he said she
could do things. She looked up at him and the words rushed out of her
in a jumbled rush. "R'axe came to the beach and we kind of slept
together and you said that it would be okay if I did something like
that, right?" She stared at him with large eyes.

He blinked, not sure he heard her right. "You what?" His expression
was pure confusion.

She swallowed, took a breath and exhaled, her fingers stroking at the
light shirt that she wore over her bikini top. "R'axe showed up at the
beach. We were talking and he touched me and..." She licked her lips.
"I really liked it." She glanced at him. "You said you didn't mind if
I had someone else like you did and you like spending time with him,
so I thought it would be okay. I was curious." She flushed. It had
been worth her curiosity.

Something tightened in his chest. "But... but he said he wasn't
attracted to you." Did R'axe change his mind? Had he been lying?

She watched the expression on his face and her own crumpled a bit. "I
asked him about it. I really did. He said it was just an excuse, that
he was overwhelmed when I asked him to be with us." She swallowed hard
and her voice softened, pained. "You're unhappy with me, aren't you?"

"No!" he said automatically. But the thought of them together... he
pressed a hand to his chest, wondering about the hurt. "I... I don't
know." It wasn't like anything he'd felt before. No, wait. Like that
time a few turns ago, when another boy had been taken to the Weyr.
This was a similar feeling, only stronger. "Oh, shards. I think I'm
jealous."

She blinked at him, her brow knitting. He was jealous? For a moment,
she was almost perversely pleased until she realized that she didn't
know if he was jealous of R'axe or of her. Her brow furrowed deeper.
"Jealous of who?"

"Both of you." J'kri ran a hand through his hair. He really didn't
like feeling like this. "The two most important people in the world to
me, and you... you left me out!" He wasn't mad at either of them, just
hurt.

All Paetri could do was stare at him, her mouth parted. She was
honestly surprised at him. "It wasn't as though we planned it, J'kri.
" Growing upset as his reaction, her arms crossed over her chest.

"I know." He tried to calm down. He didn't want to upset her. "I
wanted both of you together, but R'axe wasn't interested and I
accepted that. But then you..." He sighed. "I don't know. I feel
weird." J'kri sat in the nearest chair.

She watched him, rubbing her hands up and down her upper arms. "You're
upset that he ended up wanting me when he thought he didn't?" She was
just as confused. "So I shouldn't have been with him?"

J'kri took a deep breath. He was being selfish. "I'm sorry, Paetri.
You didn't do anything wrong."

"I don't understand, J'kri." Paetri bit her lip. "Maybe he'll want to
now, if you want. He seemed like he really enjoyed me..." Her face
flushed. "And he likes you too, so..."

He closed his eyes with a little laugh. "Faranth, do you know how many
times I've imagined that? All of us together, in so many different
ways." He wanted it so bad it made him ache. "I need to talk to R'axe.
Maybe strangle him a little."

Her mind worked rapidly as she sucked on her lower lip and watched him
in the chair. Stepping forward, she pushed him back into the chair and
without asking straddled his waist and sat on his lap. "I'm sorry I
didn't think to include you." She nestled closed and found out that
the idea of all of them together did indeed excite him. Paetri kissed
his neck, then kneaded at his shoulders, trying to soothe him. "If you
don't want me sleeping with anyone else, I won't. But if you want me
to be with both of you..." She placed kisses along his jawline and
then finally his mouth before pushing her hair back to stare at him in
the face. "I want to."

He made a low noise and slid a hand along her spine. "How are you so wonderful?"

"Because I love you." She spoke against her mouth, spine arching
against his hand. "I want you to have everything that you could want."
She slid her own hands under the hem of his shirt, finding his bare
skin and caressing it. She knew his body now and wasn't shy of
touching him; he made her feel beautiful and precious. She bent to
kiss along his neck again, wiggling closer to him. An idea occurred to
her; perhaps it was because she was so utterly trusting of him, or
perhaps it was because she was growing more confident, but she decided
to test it and moved her mouth up to his ear to whisper softly. "I
think you want us both in your bed, touching you and each other."

His body's response was immediate and he sucked in a breath. "Yes."
J'kri gripped her hips, holding her even closer. Possibilities filled
his mind, things he'd dreamed of for months. "Oh, Faranth, yes."

Confidence grew as she ground against him, her voice growing husky at
his response. "And you want to see him touch me like you touch me."
She shivered at the thought. To have two men touching her like
that...what would it be like? With D'ret, all focus had been on J'kri,
not her. But D'ret hadn't liked women, R'axe did. She couldn't help
but wonder what it would be like to have two pairs of hands on her and
it stirred her. The brief bathing suit she wore now seemed like it was
too much material. Arousal shot up and she moved to thread her hands
through J'kri's hair. "Faranth, J'kri." She moaned softly and arched
against him, her lips parted. "I want that."

She wasn't just saying that to please him, she really wanted it. J'kri
kissed along her neck, rocking his hips. He loved this side of her and
it made him bold enough to voice his own desire. "And I want you to
watch him touch me. Watch him take me." A needy moan escaped him.

She shuddered with lust, the images brought to her mind making her
ache. Confidence made her bolder with him, but the pure need that
rocketed through her made her aggressive with trying to pursue it.
Surprising even herself, the need to touch him, really touch him, took
hold and without a second thought, Paetri grabbed the neck of his
tunic and ripped. She was too proud of herself to be shocked at her
behavior, she spread her hands over his exposed chest. "I need you.
_Now_."

"Up." He nudged her aside, but only far enough that he could tug at
the fastenings of his pants. His hands shook a little as his heart
thundered in his ears. Need, yes. He kept thinking of all of them
together but Paetri was right here and he _needed_ her.

Paetri wiggled off just long enough to strip the lower half of her
swim suit off. She tossed it aside and came right back to him, Her
voice was breathy as she kneaded his shoulders. "Hurry, J'kri." She
leaned over to kiss along his neck." Want you now. Now."

He certainly didn't need any more encouragement.
