Book One
Blurb:
Was it love if it broke the rules? Hope was brought
up to believe that love looked a certain way. It acted a certain way, hell it
even smelled a certain way. So why didn’t she want the mother approved love she
saw on her television screen? Her heart longed for something that she knew the
world around her would not accept.
Seth was exiled to this planet for being something
he couldn’t change. His option had been the right according to his family. All
he had to do was die as he renounced the sin that was buried in his blood and
marrow. That would allow others like him both male and female to renounce their
wicked ways and to die with the blessing of the great one on them. He chose to
keep living.
Logan had a choice, but to him, it was a
non-choice. He could renounce Seth and all that he stood for or he could go
through the turmoil of living life on the run until he was exiled along with
Seth. He chose a life on the run fighting for what was right.
Three people one fatal meeting that will change
not only their lives but the shape of the world they live in.
The world will tell you to be content as it steals
your joy from you one breath at a time. This is the journey of Hope, Seth, and
Logan as they travel to find a different kind of love.
This book is for people who are 18 and older. It is an adult
book that features a triad union. It is mmf and mfm. Why? Because people in
love touch.
Chapter One:
“Report.” Logan was sitting on the couch with Seth lying beside
him, feet in his lap. They looked like the perfect couple, but they weren’t.
Their penthouse held five other couples that looked perfect on the outside but
were hemorrhaging on the inside.
Maverick gave his report without glancing at his
notes. Their company was doing well, not that they doubted it or needed it.
Independently they could live several lifetimes without thinking of money.
Together they could buy and sell the earth and a few other planets.
“This is our life now,” Seth threw his hands wide
to indicate the floor to ceiling windows.
It could be worse. It had been worse for them.
“Seth, my love, what would you have us do? You’re a fierce warrior we all are,
but the twelve of us aren’t enough to fight that battle.”
“I know, there are days I feel like we gave up.”
They led the fight for independence on their
planet. What they quickly learned was there can be no independence if the
people weren’t ready to stand up for themselves.
“It will be thousands of years before anyone else
is born who looks like us,” Morgan told him. “We are too few and too far
apart.”
Seth sighed. “I know you’re right, but it’s not
fair.”
“Look around you Seth, life’s not fair.” Brice
spread his hands indicating the same windows.
“At least here we have a chance,” Dax, Brice’s
partner told them.
“You think so? These humans have no more leniency
towards something they don’t understand than our people did. Besides, we don’t
fit in with any of their letters.”
“We don’t have to. They at least have a subsection
that understands it’s wrong to hate based solely on the fact that the other
person doesn’t look or act like you,” Tate, Maverick’s partner told him.
“You’re right. You’re all right, today just isn’t
my day,” Seth told them. They all nodded in agreement. They had been exiled to
this ball of nothingness for more years than any of them wanted to remember. At
least they were still alive.
“Logan and Seth either feed us or let us go home,”
Dax told them. Everyone groaned, but they agreed it was time to eat. Their business
was done for the day and remembering the past wasn’t going to help, an exile
was an exile.

“Wake up sleepy, you said you wanted to go for a
run today.” Logan ran his hand through Seth’s hair. It never failed to amaze
him how beautiful it was. His black hair sat on his shoulders with rose
highlights. All-natural, although they never told anyone that asked.
“I’d rather be kissed by you.”
Logan leaned over pressing his chest to his
partner's chest, sad that he couldn’t call him his mate. At least they had
this. He took Seth’s mouth in a deep kiss, winding his tongue around his like a
serpent.
“So good, how could I live without this?” Seth breathed
out as Logan began to make his way down his chest to his nipples. The first
touch made his cock hard and needy. “Please Logan.”
Logan teased him allowing his fingers to play with
his other nipple as Seth writhed under his body. There was something about
seeing Seth give himself fully in pleasure that made Logan crave all they
couldn’t do. He switched nipples and Seth’s whimpers were music to his ears.
His partner, best friend, the person who nursed him back to health when needed.
He would give him the fantasy if only he could.
“Stop, I can hear you thinking. All you have to do
is love me.”
Logan kissed his body, licking, and nipping along
the way. Seth was hard with a layer of softness that covered his muscle. There
was nothing like feeling both at the same time. He stopped at his abs to pay
special attention to them before going on.
When he reached his cock, he stroked it with his
tongue and then his finger. This is what all the fuss was about. How could what
he did in the privacy of his bedroom that caused no one pain or shame be the
subject of so many mouths?
“Hand or mouth?” Neither would ever use the other
in a way they felt was natural between males. They both had been raped too many
times to talk about it.
He opened wide taking Seth’s cock to the root. It
was thick and long. but his people had no problem swallowing one whole. He
sucked and worked his throat until Seth was begging for release under him.
Seth’s hands found his hair tugging. Taking pity on his partner he stroked the
sensitive area between his balls at the base of his dick. Seth came with a
scream that was probably heard in all the other penthouses unless they were too
busy pleasing their partners.
“Logan that never gets old.” Seth laid on the bed
like he ran a marathon.
“It doesn’t, but I think you’re getting old. You
used to have more energy.”
“Crawl over here and I’ll show you energy.”
“Nope, you begged me not to let you miss your run
today.”
“I hate when I get obsessive about things.”
“That obsession has saved our lives more than
once. Go run, it’s probably nothing, just another person speculating on why our
group is so weird. If it’s a rumor we need to kill, having a heads up would be
nice. If it’s a human, it’ll give us time to plan the hunt.”
“I’m going, I need a shower, the urge hasn’t hit
yet.” He rolled out the bed. Logan laughed as he took a minute to make sure his
legs were steady before walking to the bathroom.
“Laugh it up Logan your turn is coming.”
Logan applied pressure to his cock, it was ready
to go now. If he didn’t Seth would miss his run. If Logan had learned anything
it was to listen when Seth said I have a feeling.
There was a knock at the door. He slid on a pair
of boxers and went to answer it.
“Has Seth gone on his run yet?” Maverick was
standing there with Tate at his side.
“It’s Sunday,” Logan stepped away from the door.
“I thought you’d be sleeping in.” Which of course was code for having sex.
“We can sleep in whenever; Tate says whatever is
going to happen on this run will change our lives.”
“I didn’t want to hear that, whatever you do don’t
tell Seth. No need to put pressure on him.”
“Who’s putting pressure on who? Hello, Maverick
and Tate, what got you out of bed so early?”
“I was determined to see you in a towel. Those
legs sweetie.”
Seth rolled his eyes at Tate’s antics. The only
person Tate was interested in was Maverick.
“Right, since no one is going to tell me what is going on, as usual, I’m
going to get dressed.”
“What if the human’s found out about us?”
“You’re borrowing trouble Tate,” Logan told him.
They didn’t need that.
There was another knock at the door. “It’s open,”
Logan called out.
Standing there was the rest of their squad. “Come
in, don’t stand in the hallway.” Not that it mattered they owned the building,
and they were the only residents that lived there.
“It’s that serious?” Maverick asked as the others
took a seat.
“Yeah,” Ender said. “Uri can’t sit still he keeps
saying revelation.”
“It’s something that we’ve been waiting for. I
know what I want it to be, but we’ve thought that was going to happen before.
Right now, I’m scared it’s a death contract.” Uri jumped up to start pacing
until Ender pulled him down onto his lap.
“Then we’ll fight as we’ve fought in the past,”
Logan told them.
“There is no need to put a contract out on us.
We’re so many light-years away it’s not even laughable,” Morgan said stroking
Gray’s back.
“They’re
assholes and we all know it,” Seth said coming into the living room. “Stop
worrying all of you. First, it’s a Sunday. What can happen on this day? It’s
the day the humans go to church and play nice with each other. I’ll probably
run into another couple like us that needs to be taken in or some poor human
that’s been kicked out of their family. They’re all over this planet and we’ve
helped more than one.”
“Seth’s probably right we’re worrying for no
reason,” Gray said. “I for one could use some one on one time with my partner.
You coming, Morgan?”
“I’m following that sweet ass wherever it leads.”
“And that’s why I keep him.” They walked out telling
everyone farewell until later.
“The rest of you get out. I need to snuggle until
it’s time to run. I’m getting too old for this,” Seth pointed toward the door.
“You haven’t reached a thousand yet, I don’t want
to hear that,” Knox pushed against his arm before leaving with Jasper. The rest
leaving them alone.
“Tell me you didn’t listen,” Logan said as Seth
sat on his lap.
“I didn’t, I learned from the last time. Logan, I
am worried.”
“Don’t worry. Maybe we will adopt a child.”
“Absolutely not. If we can’t bring them into our
bond, I won’t do it. I can’t watch them grow up and die.”
“Maybe we’ll have a child.” Seth rolled his eyes
at that.
“Have you been sleeping around on me?”
Logan snorted, “like that would happen.”
“Then neither of them is the reason for my
unease.” They sat in silence for a while.
Logan put him down and went to get him a bottle of
water to drink as well as a bottle to hang off Seth’s shorts.
“Drink, you’re not as young as you used to be.”
They were still considered young on their planet, but that civilization had
been left behind years ago.
Seth drank as the first stirring hit his system.
“I’m going to go. I want to be in the right place when the desire hits.”
“You sure I can’t come?”
“No, I need to do this alone.”
“Wearing that shirt?”
“Yep, don’t you love it?”
“I do. Call me if there is any trouble.
“You’re on
speed dial.” Seth gave him a kiss before leaving their penthouse. All he knew
was that he needed to be in the park. It was where he spent several days of the
week running. Finding the park was easy finding out where he was supposed to be
was harder. It hit him in the gut like fire when he found the right place. He
sat on a bench that was close to a trail that circled through the park several
times. If he ran it all, it would be a 5K jog. He sat waiting for the right
time to start.
Standing he went through a series of stretches
until his muscles were nice and loose. When that feeling he couldn’t deny hit
him he took off in a jog. It was time to find out what all the fuss was about.
