All Chapters of Circle of the Stars: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I wasn't sure what I expected when I suggested a movie night. Having Hollyn sit on the floor barely two feet away from the TV wasn't how I'd envisioned the night progressing, that was for damn sure. But her astonishment when I'd turned the movie on had curbed any desire I had to quash the joy lighting up her face. What the fuck are we going to do? I asked my brothers as Harry visited Diagon Alley for the first time on the screen. We need some straight fucking answers, Thane said. His mental voice was tight and hard. We can't keep her locked up in here, no matter how much each of us seems to want that. Tag snorted mentally. We need to have a conversation about sex. Fuck, she didn't even know what movies were. Glad to see you've come around, Grumpy, I said. Tag elbowed me in the ribs. I stifled my groan before it could slide out of my mouth. Asshole. I don't know what it is either, but we can't lose her. She opened something up inside me and damned if I don't feel li

I looked Hollyn over as she walked with Thane back into the actual apartment. She didn't duck her head or try to hide behind him. No signs of embarrassment or shame at having me interrupt their fun. I adjusted my dick after she'd passed. The little sounds that had been coming from her mouth as she tried to crawl Thane's body had made me harder than I'd thought possible. What surprised me was the innocence of it.My tastes were a bit kinkier than my brothers. Vanilla sex hadn't turned me on for at least a decade. Not after I got a full taste of being in charge. An image of Hollyn tied down and spread out for me on my bed had me clenching my teeth so I didn't blow my load right there in the elevator lobby. I shut the door behind me as the ten o'clock news started. "Breaking news. We've received news that the Ladon triplets-Thane, Tagan, and Toven Ladon-are implicated in the bludgeoning death of Aldrich Yates. Yates, one of the founders of the breakthrough artificial organ technol

Hollyn smiled. "No, thanks. They aren't my type."I chuckled, the sound a little strained even to my ears. "Tove, can you get started on finding information?"He nodded and jogged from the room. I looked down at the woman in my arms. "Thank you. We'll make this right. They won't ever harm you again.""Damn right they won't," Tag added. He tugged on a lock of her hair, pulling her head around to look at him. He leaned up, got right in her face. "Not cool, trying to leave under the cover of darkness. We're going to have words about that."She skimmed her lavender gaze all over the planes of his face. They ended on his lips. "Can I kiss you?" She flicked her gaze up to look at his eyes quickly. "Anytime," he said, his rolling thunder voice like a storm that was still off in the distance. He brought his lips to hers. She leaned over to increase the contact, which shoved her ass deeper into my lap. A low, shaky moan left her as Tag opened his mouth over hers. She followed h

I knew men liked sex. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why women kept having it. But each year we had more and more babies in the village. Maybe it was just me who didn't like it.But hey, if it meant, I got to walk around naked...they could do whatever they wanted. Especially since Tagan said they weren't going to put their wie-cocks inside me. I had never liked that. I settled in to win a bet that had no possible downside for me. And if it got too bad, then they'd even given me a way out. I had no idea what butterfingers was or were, but I cherished the idea that they'd let me stop everything if I didn't like it. "Are you going to pay attention or just play around in your head, Stretch?" Thane asked from somewhere near my knees. I lifted my head. "Oh sorry. Had you already started?" Oops. I didn't know I was supposed to act like I was participating. They should have stated that on the outset. "Buuuurn," Tove said. Thane just chuckled. "I can take it. I'm jus

I pinched the bridge of my nose as a headache set up residence directly behind my right eyeball. "Okay. One more time."Tove heaved a sigh. "I didn't find anything on Alder Valley other than some housing developments in different states. Apparently, alder trees aren't as poplar." He snickered at his terrible pun. "The information on druids and the Grove of the Oaks is spotty at best. There are a couple of groups who use that term in their religious practice, but I can't find any of them near here. The only thing I've found that's even close to being about nature and Druidry is The Copse Initiative. The guys who tried to kidnap Hols. They're supposedly a small subsidiary company of a shell company of a bigger company that's all about trying to bring back more trees after all the deforestation done by big business." "That still makes me sick to my stomach. I might not hold a lot of the values that the Oaks did, but bulldozing forests just to make paper?" Hollyn covered her mouth
