SHAH

Yeah, so basically, we were ten-year-olds. All three of us. Me, Ronnie, and Euridyne. Silent treatment all around. We hadn't spoken for two and a half weeks.

Including Ronnie. He wasn't talking to me at all in his mind or feelings. It was like I wasn't even telepathic anymore. Any other time in my life, I would've thought it great to be alone in my own mind.

It wasn't great. It sucked.

And so did Rilla and Rawl book seven. Oh yes, I looked very busy. I gave up on trying to use the cybernetic relay to write and blamed that for my writer's block. Then I typed and typed.

I wrote ten chapters describing the sphere of Primlim Twelve. And it's two suns and eleven moons. Lots of description. Oh, the landscapes! And the people and their clothing. And the flora and buildings. Fifteen thousand descriptive words. Rilla and Rawl did nothing but look and describe. My genre-bending fiction became epic high fantasy.

Except for the night I snuck into Euri's bed, and he held me. Until I licked him.

He liked it. That's why he shut me out of his mind. He's right, of course. It's not fair for me to refuse to talk to him about my life and then go into his bed while he's asleep and start licking him like he's mine.

He probably could be mine. I think he might want to be. But I don't know what to do with that much person.

Ronnie blocked me telepathically and hasn't even sent me messages. He'd gotten halfway through graphic novel two before he started working with Euri, and that was it. Apparently, my twin dropped me for someone else. Did he think I was going to illustrate the graphics by myself?

When I got tired of Rilla book seven high fantasy version, I went back to graphic novel two. I finished the text for everything Ronnie had already illustrated, then I put together an outline for the rest of the book, but I was fed up with myself and my situation. It was time to fix it.

"Alright! Alright! I give up!" I shouted. Two heads popped up. "Sibsil Creed isn't the only pseudonym in the room! Psy Ling is here too!"

A pad clattered to the table. "Ho-o-o-ly fuuuuuuuck."

So, Euri knew who Rilla Sandewen was. He ran over and lifted me into his arms then spun me around, cackling. Ronnie exploded in laughter.

"Fucking stars and sands below, Portia Sloan, we are going to have so much fun. Open your damned, hiding eyes and watch the erotic romance your brother and I have been working on the past two weeks."

My eyes flew open, my jaw dropping. Ronnie was doubled over and sound wasn't even coming out of his body any more. He looked like he was in pain from laughing so hard.

On the pad in front of me, an animated dark skinned man and woman were doggy style, groaning, and there were thought bubbles above their heads.

Yeah, baby, just like in your dreams. I'll give you everything you need, Crystal honey.

Nathan, Nathan, fill me up! Harder! I said, "harder," dammit! Don't you dare stop, you bastard. Give it to me the way I like it!

I covered my mouth with my hand, giggling. "Fucking clouds! What the fuck? You two are making animated erotica?"

"Hey, it's a love story based on Nayth and Ryst with just a hint of tutorial."

"What?! That's why they went missing? Your Auntie and Uncle turned into cartoon porn stars?"

The three of us collapsed into a pile of laughing idiots. I think Ronnie broke a few ribs. He was moaning and clutching his side when we finally pulled ourselves together.

Stolen novel; please report.

"So, you two, you travel? What — all over the galaxy in a ship called Good Times, writing hilarious erotica and selling overpriced lube? That's why you have no idea what your parents are doing? Is THAT the whole big secret?" Euri demanded.

I nodded. "Our parents know about our career. They helped us launch Pearl. But you're the only person besides them who knows Psy Ling's identity."

"Well, then, Psy Ling, are you gonna keep sulking or are you gonna join us? I think the three of us will be unstoppable if we combine forces."

I grinned. I guess I'm already on team Sibsil, Euri.

And I felt his affection wrap around me first. Then his body. Ronnie wrapped his arms around us too. I held onto Euri and didn't let go.

You'll come to my room tonight, Shay?

I hugged him tighter and didn't let go. He laughed into my hair, relief pouring off of him in waves.

I'd never felt an erection against my tummy before. It felt really good. Euri could tell I liked it, and he grinned inside, warm and affectionate and tender.

Ronnie let go and backed up, his hands in the air, and his telepathic presence vanished. I lifted my face to Euri, and he put his nose against mine then stopped.

I could feel everything about him. He wasn't hiding behind a telepathic shield anymore. It made me want to crawl all over him. And it made me want to run upstairs and hide in the closet with the door closed. Euri's chest heaved. So did mine, but he loosened his grip and started to back away.

No, don't, I begged him

Not if you're scared, Shay.

Just a minute. Stay right there, okay?

Internal nod.

Our chests rose and fell quickly. I moved my nose closer to Euri's. He smelled so good. I could feel him. Inside he was groaning, outside he was completely still except for the rapid movement of his chest.

I moved my face closer to his. My upper lip touched his. I molded both my lips against his top lip and let my tongue out, tasting him slowly. Inside, he moaned. His arms tightened a little, but he held still.

Kiss me, Euri, I don't know how to do this.

You're doing great, Shay. It feels so good.

That was all I needed to hear. My arms gripped him tighter against me. I felt his cock on my belly, and I tasted his lips some more. Then his mouth opened, and my tongue met his.

He groaned audibly then, and so did I. Euri let me kiss him and kiss him some more. His scruff scratched my face, and his cock pushed against me. My arms wound around his neck, and my fingers pushed through his hair, and he kept holding mostly still except for his tongue moving against mine.

You taste so good, Euri.

So do you, Shay.

I don't want to stop.

Then don't.

But he stopped as soon as he realized I was scared. I still held him against me, our faces pressed together.

It's okay, Shay. This is fine. We can just kiss. It's our first kiss. It was a really, really good first kiss. The very best. I'll treasure it forever.

You're a sweetheart, Euridyne.

Took you long enough to figure that out, he said, smiling at me, forehead to forehead, nose to nose. Do you still want to lick my ear? There's no birds in here, he teased.

I smiled then pulled back.

"Euri?" I whispered.

He raised his mental and physical eyebrows. "I'm trying to write Rilla book seven. At the end of book six, she realizes she needs to find out how to love. I'm stuck, though, writing. Because I don't know how to be a person. I don't know how to do this."

"I don't think there's a formula, Shah. I think we'll figure out how to do it by trying. If you're willing to try, then I'm in. How does that sound?"

"It might be really hard, Euri," I said, barely audible.

"Most things worth doing are. Are you gonna be in it with me, Shah? Or are you going to run away again?"

"If I run away sometimes, will you still be here when I come back?"

He sighed. "I said I'd try, okay? But I'm not made of stone, Portia. You can break me. Is that what you really want to do?"

"No." I said emphatically. "No, I do not want that at all. Okay, Euridyne. I'm so far away from normal that I don't know what to do next, but I'm not going to break you into pieces and crush your soul. You're a beautiful, sweet man. I'm half crazy, but I'm not a demon. So, what should we do when I get scared and want to run away?"

"Well, you could run just a little away. How about running to the bathroom and hiding for a few hours? Instead of flying away in your starliner? Just hide behind a door until you feel like you can come out?"

"Okay. I can try that," I nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, I can try that. What about you, Euridyne? You've been in a telepathic Faraday cage for nearly two months."

He huffed out a laugh. "Well, that's because I couldn't stop thinking about your tongue doing wicked things to me, and your brother showed up while I was wanking in the shower."

"What?" I howled. "Ronnie? He's usually not a peeper!"

Euri cracked up. "Well, apparently, I missed you both so much after Five Spheres that I was sending out telepathic hails without realizing it. At least he was kind enough to wait 'til I was finished."

I giggled and giggled, then pulled his body to mine. "I gotta admit, I'm like, really, really starving, Euri. It's been soooo bad trying to keep you out of my mind since Five Spheres."

"At least I wasn't suffering alone."

I started to kiss him again, but Euri stopped. "Shah, I can tell you're hesitant. I know you want this. I can feel it. But I know you're not there yet. It isn't worth it to push it. We have to go slow."

"I hate slow, Euri."

"Well, that's something we're going to have to try to work with as well because this isn't feeling like it's gonna be fast. Look, if you need to spend time alone—"

"No, Euri, that doesn't work. It hasn't been working for months. I can't—"

"Okay, okay, then we won't do that. We'll try to find another way. I don't know how. I mean, well, we both have libraries of erotica. You want to try something from a book or be inventive? Keep our clothes on and just get each other off or get off ourselves while we're together?"

He grinned. "You know, between the two of us, we probably have an amazing repertoire of options, so could we keep open minds? Just try things until we find something that feels good?"

"Can we go up to your bed and keep our clothes on?"

He nodded, and we went upstairs, hand in hand, finally.
