Part 50
Max didn't need to open his eyes to know who was in his arms, or who had their arms around him. The scent of her hair was driving him wild. The feel of Michael's arm resting on his hip and holding Liz tightly against him was intoxicating. And Zulis, Max's hand could feel the tingles from the feel of skin on Zulis's back.
Max started stroking Zulis's back. He moved his hand up to massage his neck, then down to stroke his back again.
Max smiled when he felt Liz push her bottom closer to his erection and pull Zulis as close as she could to her front at the same time. She was already clutching his head to her chest, and Max could feel Zulis nibbling on the side of her breast.
Max shifted slightly and pushed his length between Liz's thighs, only to find Zulis already there. Both men began to move, feeling their lengths rubbing each other. Max felt Michael's hand carressing his hip, then he was gone.
Liz moved her arm up and around Max's neck pulling his face into her neck.
Michael was standing at the end of the bed stroking himself, "The three of you are beautiful."
Max saw Michael move and then return to his line of vision. When he opened his eyes next, Michael was standing at the end of the bed drawing in his sketchbook like a mad artist. The thought of having a drawing of this intimate scene was incredibly erotic.
The three increased their movements. Zulis and Max sliding their hard lengths tightly against Liz's soft folds.
Michael's comment, "Done" was said just as Liz cried out from an orgasm.
Michael ignored Max and Zulis's tight embrace and crawled on top of the three, moving Liz to her back and pushing into her.
Michael slid his hand down her leg and lifted it high on his hip. He kissed her deeply, then kissed his other mates just as deeply as he slid slowly in and out of Liz's body.
Zulis moved behind Michael and started kissing his back. He moved his hands to Michael's hard bottom. Slowly he moved to press his finger against Michael's opening and smiled when Michael yelled, "God...yes Zulis."
Zulis moved up and pushed cautiously against Michael. Michael had stopped his movements, and the three held their breaths as Zulis for the first time started making love to one of his other mates. The joy that surged through Michael was more than they could take.
Max leaned in and kissed Michael, "I wish that I could draw, this is amazing."
Michael pulled Max's bottom lip into his mouth and let it pop out, "Sit up Max, I want to pleasure you too."
Max smiled and guided himself to Michael's mouth. Liz moved her hand to Max's sac and massaged, rolling and squeezing lightly with her little hand and loving the feeling that it evoked in Max and the others.
The four were in heaven. The pressure built in their centers and exploded outward.
Michael collapsed on Liz, with Zulis on top of him. Max collapsed to the side.
Max looked at the little part of Liz's face that he could see beneath her two huge mates and laughed at the look of utter contentment on her face.
Max pushed Zulis and Michael off of her and pulled her into his arms, "God your beautiful."
Liz smiled, "Thank you, I love you too."
All three were stroking some part of her body. They laid their basking in the love that they felt for each other.
Much later Liz stroked Max's cheek with her hand, "We should go and explain things to our families."
Max groaned, "I know. I just wish we could stay like this forever."
Michael and Zulis agreed and moved closer to their mates, even though they were already snuggled up to each other tightly.
Liz laughed, "Okay, someone has to make the first move."
Max kissed her neck, "Yeah, they do." Max had thrown his leg over hers and was rubbing his length on her hip.
Liz laughed again and pushed at her mates, "Come on we need to get up."
Liz started to move, but three arms pulled her back down, "Guys, you know that we have to get up."
Max chuckled, "I'm up." Michael laughed, "Yeah, me to and so is Zulis."
Liz rolled her eyes, "Not like that. Get out of this bed. We have responsibilities to our children and family."
All three men groaned and moved to get up. Max pulled Liz with him and held her tightly against his body as he lead her to the shower. As they entered, Max lifted Liz pulling her leg up to his hip. Liz automatically raised her other leg and felt the wall behind her back.
Max's mouth found hers as he entered her body. His lips traveled to her neck, licking and kissing her sensitive skin.
Liz arched her body, "Oh God....yes....Max.....my love...yes.....please Max more.....Oh God Max...."
Liz orgasmed as she felt Max expand in her and the explosion of his seed as it filled her.
Max held himself firmly imbedded in her, his forehead resting on hers as both tried to catch their breaths, "God Liz........" Max kissed Liz deeply once more and let her slide down his body.
Zulis and Michael had stood back and watched their king and queen. They both felt the need to let their king and queen have this moment to themselves.
Liz smiled when Max turned to lead her to the shower and she noticed his tattoo. Liz pulled Max back towards her and whispered in his ear, "Max, my love, what ever happened to the tattoos that you were so graciously going to give Zulis and Michael?"
Max got a mischievous look on his face and kissed Liz's forehead. He turned to Michael as he got into the shower. As he bent around Michael he brushed his hand over his bottom, "Just needed the soap." Michael looked at Max's attempt at innocence, but didn't know what he was up to. He almost knew, but Max was hiding it from him.
Liz moved to Zulis, stroking his back she looked over at Max, "Why don't you wash Zulis's back?"
Max smiled and moved behind Zulis washing his back, then running his soapy hands over his bottom.
Liz moved behind Zulis and ran her hands over his bottom. She turned to Max, "Impressive wash job."
Liz and Max burst out laughing at the puzzled look on Zulis and Michael. Then Michael turned to get more soap and Zulis burst out laughing.
Michael turned quickly, "What are you guys laughing about?"
Zulis turned around and showed Michael. Micheal twisted and tried to see his butt, "I can't see it, is it the same as Max's?"
Liz walked over and knelt behind Michael, "Here let me see. Oh my, great job Max."
"Well?"
Liz nodded, "It's the same." Liz stroked the tattoo and softly kissed it several times before standing to finish her shower.
"About time Maxwell. I was wondering when you would finally get around to marking us.", Michael kissed Max and grabbed the soap out of his hand.
Liz moved into Max's arms, "I'm still tired."
Max washed her hair, "We used a lot of energy, I could feel us pulling it from everywhere and you are not used to using so much power."
Zulis bent and washed her body, "We will rest soon, beloved."
Michael was waiting to towel her dry when she stepped out and led her to their dressing room.
The four finished dressing.
Michael walked up behind Liz and brushed her hair, pulling it up and twisting it on top of her head, "Now you're ready to go."
Liz smiled and took his hand. He led her and the others to the children's room and their family.
************************
Maria walked over to Liz as she entered the room and pulled her away from her mates, "It's about time and what are doing with your hair up"
Liz stroked the back of her neck and watched Maria's eyes flare when the seals pulsed with color, "We'll explain in a minute, right now I need to take care of the children."
Liz pulled Maria to her and hugged her tightly, then turned and went to take care of her babies first. Luckily the babies had fallen back to sleep and didn't need her attention. Her other children were cranky from so little sleep and were clinging to her.
Max looked over at Liz and then at their family, who had thrown question after question at the three of them since they had walked into the room. He could tell that they were becoming frustrated since none of them had said a word. Max put his hand on his dad's shoulder, "In time dad, give us a minute to soothe our children. Then we will gather everyone and tell our story." Philip and the others turned their concern to the children instantly.
Max, Michael and Zulis walked over and began cuddling their cranky children. Liz took Erin to a corner rocking chair and was singing her a song. Zulis took Joshua sang him to sleep. Max took the Matthew and Emma onto his lap and watched Michael take Allie. Leah squirmed in Juran's arms until he relented and took her to Michael.
Zulis calmed the children with his song. It took longer than normal to get the children settled. Once all of the children were sleeping, Max called several guards into the room and instructed them that if any of the children woke he was to be informed immediately.
Max took Liz's hand and led everyone to their family room. He motioned for the royal guard that were not on duty to follow him also.
The four stood in front of the crowd of family and guards and joined hands.
Max breathed deeply when he noticed the expressions on the guard's faces when he took Zulis's hand, "I want to officially announce that Zulis is bonded to our queen...."
Max was amazed at the guard's discipline, none made a sound, "I also want to announce that not only is he bonded to his queen, the four of us are bonded to each other.....it's hard to say that we are the four square that has been yearned for for generations...but it would appear that we are. We had thought that by keeping Zulis a secret we were protecting ourselves, or especially Liz. What we didn't realise, until our children connected to us, was that we were hindering the four square bond...." Max hesitated, amazed that no one had interrupted him, "We had to do was realise that Liz was our equal, she didn't need our protection anymore. But we also had to acknowledge Zulis."
Max turned to Zulis with an apologetic look, Michael continued for him, "We were too concerned with keeping Liz safe and not allowing anyone to know that we had a fourth, that we weren't allowing our whole potential to surface. When we did, it was amazing. It felt like we knew everything. All we have to do is concentrate and we know."
Max went on to explain how they had taken care of the people who wanted to harm Liz and to take him off of the throne. He explained how they just knew who was plotting against them and where they could find them.
Philip raised his hand making his son smile, "Yes dad?"
"Are you saying that you can read our minds?" Philip asked concerned.
"No....Not really...it's kind of hard to describe, but no I don't know everyone's secrets. But on the other hand, I can know them. I believe that we knew the information because it posed a threat to one of us."
Valan interrupted, "Max, my son, let me try to explain. The four square is mentioned in many of our sacred writings. It is said that they would be one with Antar. So it's not that they know individuals thoughts, its that they know everything about their world. Max could probably tell you where the Rasula birds are nesting at this moment......"
"Anratal Province in the mountain region..." Liz nudged his side and Max looked down at her, "What?"
"I don't think that she was really asking you the question."
Max blushed, "Oh, yeah sorry."
Valan smiled and continued, "The four square is supposed to be a part of Antar and ...."
Jeff interrupted, "Are they.....well are they Gods now?"
"Not Gods but close, only the One is stronger. They will die one day, but when that day comes they will all pass together and be reborn to join again."
Nancy put her hand on her husband's shoulder, "They'll just have different names, but they will still be Max, Liz, Michael and Zulis."
Valan nodded, "Yes and in the next life Zan and Max's essence will be one, just as Michael and Rath's will be."
Liz leaned into Max, "Did you know that part?"
Max shook his head, "No, I haven't had the time to read any of the sacred writings."
Max returned his attention to the crowd in front of him, "Any more questions?"
Everyone was shaking their heads, Philip stood, "Let it soak in, we will probably have questions later." He turned to the others, "I don't know about you guys, but I'm exhausted. I'd like to go back to bed."
Liz stepped away from her mates, "Mother Valan, can I talk with you for a second."
Valan stopped, "Of course child."
"Can we arrange a ball to announce Zulis's bond? Also, I'd like to have a gathering for the unbonded."
Valan smiled, "Just like when I was an unbonded youth. Of course, I will arrange it."
Liz hugged her, "Thank you."
Liz walked back to her mates, "I'd like to check on the children again, then go to bed."
She saw her mates smile, each of their eyes gleaming. She laughed, "To sleep, my loves. I'm exhausted."
Their faces changed to understanding. Michael picked her up, "Then I'll carry you to the children's room my angel." Liz laid her head on his shoulder and soaked up the love she felt circulating between the four.
Max started stroking Zulis's back. He moved his hand up to massage his neck, then down to stroke his back again.
Max smiled when he felt Liz push her bottom closer to his erection and pull Zulis as close as she could to her front at the same time. She was already clutching his head to her chest, and Max could feel Zulis nibbling on the side of her breast.

Part 51
Zan sat behind his desk waiting for Liz to finish her work in the labs. She had promised to stop by on her way back to their rooms.
Just knowing that she was going to show up any minute kept him from doing any work, instead his mind wandered to his upcoming coronation. He and Liz were to be crowned. His heart raced thinking of Liz beside him as he was finally crowned, and then to be able to see her wear the crown proclaiming her the Antarian queen. How did he ever get this lucky?
His thoughts wandered to his other life, and how his heart wasn't into being king. With Liz it was different, and with Liz came Michael/Rath and Zulis. He chuckled when he thought about he and Rath being intimate. In their other life they would have killed each other and saved Khivar the trouble if either one had mentioned anything about them being intimate with each other.
Zan was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard a soft knock and his door opened. His smile broadened when he saw her brown hair.
Liz smiled back at Zan, "My love, your brain is going to start smoking you're working it so hard."
"I wasn't working, I was thinking about your body and all the things that I wanted to do to it when you showed up."
Liz walked over to his desk, she ran her hand over the top of the desk, "You know I've had a few fantasies about this desk."
Zan was out of his chair in a flash. He swept everything off of his desk and pulled Liz's back to his chest, wrapping one arm tightly around her waist as his other hand moved up her body to her neck, "I've seen those fantasies and I'm all yours."
Zan turned her face back towards his and lowered his mouth to her lips, kissing her deeply. He moved to kiss her neck, placing nibbling kisses as his mouth travelled to her ear, "Where is Zulis?"
"Huh?......oh he went to spend time with the children." The four had learned to control their awareness of each other, and learned to block out a lot of the information that had at first automatically been theirs without effort.
Zan spun Liz around lifting her onto the desk and moving between her legs. He pressed himself intimately against her lower body and reveled in the joy that surged through his body as she groaned.
Liz reached for Zan's vest only to have him grab her hands and push them over her head. Zan leaned deeper into her, pushing her to her back. He held her hands with one of his hands as the other moved lightly over her body.
"Zan, let me touch you."
He smiled against her skin, and just moved lower nipping at her ribs through her dress. Liz's lower body was moving against his stomach, trying to find relief from his torture. Zan touched her dress and dissolved it off of her body. He continued to nip at her skin as he moved to her breasts, "You have the most beautiful body, my love."
"Zannnnn, you're killing me...stop teasing."
He chuckled, "Who's teasing?" He kissed her nipple, "I'm making love to my queen." He released her hands and bent to kiss her navel, "I'm worshipping your body." Zan bent lower and ran his tongue slowly from her opening to the tip of her clitoris.
"Oh God......more....more Zan."
Zan smiled and continued to make love to his beautiful queen.
**********************
Zan pulled Liz's limp body off of the desk and reformed her dress on her. He chuckled at her sighs from being so completely sated, "Do you need me to carry you back to our rooms?"
Liz smiled, "The idea has merit, we could make love again?"
"I have the feeling that your other mates wish to spend some alone time with you."
Liz giggled, "You could play with us."
Zan raised his eyebrows, "That kind of defeats the alone with you part."
Liz ran her hand down his body and squeezed him, "But my love you don't seem to be ready to let me go yet."
"I'll never be ready to let you go, but Rath is waiting for you and so is Zulis."
Liz squeezed him again causing him to jump, then turned and walked out of the room.
Moments after she left the office she was yanked into a closet. Her first instinct was to scream, but even though it was pitch black in the closet she would know her lover's scent anywhere.
Liz used english and her most southern accent, "Oh please kind sir be gentle."
Rath growled as he spun her to face the wall. Her dress was dissolved from her body once again. Rath's hands moved slowly down her arms until he reached her hands, he raised her hands against the wall pinning them above her head with his hands.
He whispered in her ear, "Keep your hands there." His hands moved to her breasts, lifting them in his hands and stroking her nipples with his thumbs.
He pushed his knee between hers, spreading her legs. When she was positioned to his liking, he bent his knees placing himself at her opening. He nibbled on her neck and ear, until she could stand no more. He surged into her body, loving the feeling of her body adjusting to accomodate him and the way her wet walls gripped him tightly.
Rath's hands slid over her body until they came to her thighs. He moved one finger toward her center and began a slow circular pattern on her clit. He waited until she was on the edge to pull out of her, then to push back in deeply. Liz exploded, only then did Rath began to move.
Several men in the hall stopped when they heard Rath's roar coming from a closet, but many of them were used to seeing their queen and her mates coming out of the oddest places.
**************************
Rath kissed Liz after exiting the closet, and watched her practically skip down the corridor. He smiled and headed for Zan's office.
Liz entered the sitting room. She pulled her dress over her head knowing that Zulis would be in their room waiting for her. She peaked around the door and saw him on the bed sleeping.
Liz tiptoed into the room and crawled up next to him. She bent and kissed his stomach and instantly felt a hand thread through her hair, she circled his navel with her tongue and felt his length bump her face.
Liz giggled and continued licking his stomach, she moved to his hip and nibbled. Her mouth nibbled back up to his stomach then down to his other hip.
Zulis finally had to remove his hand from her head or he would just put her where he wanted her. He knew that she would move there on her own soon enough so he let her continue her playing. His hips, on the other hand, had a mind of their own. They continued to twitch, turn and lift trying to get her mouth on him.
Liz finally reached out and cupped his sac with her hand causing his hips to raise off of the bed. Liz took pity on him. She lifted his length slowing, running her hand up and down softly.
Liz looked into Zulis's eyes and moved her mouth slowly toward the tip of him. When she was just an inch away, she stuck her tongue out and licked around the mushroom shaped tip. Liz never took her eyes from his.
After spending several minutes just licking him, she pulled the tip into her mouth sucking on him gently. She continued to look him in the eyes, but she could see his fists bunching the covers of the bed.
Finally he could take no more and grabbed her under her arms, throwing her back on the bed he entered her swiftly. Liz clung to his broad chest as he pushed them higher and higher until they both exploded.
*******************************
Max and Michael entered the music room where Liz was supposed to be teaching Zulis and the children how to slow dance, but the way Liz and the children were dancing could never be called slow dancing.
Both men approached Zulis, who was sitting on the floor watching the jumping and wiggling going on in front of him.
Max sat next to Zulis, "So, why aren't you dancing?"
Zulis looked at Max like he was crazy, "Dancing? That's not dancing, thats jumping around and I don't know what that is they are doing. What is a twist?"
Max chuckled and turned when he heard Michael protesting, "No way girls, I'm not dancing like that."
Max looked at the two begging Michael to dance, "Please daddy, dance with us. It's fun."
They pulled him onto the floor, where he whisked the two into his arms and started jumping around like a fool.
Max felt a little hand on his cheek, but was afraid to turn to his daughter. The little hand grabbed his ear and pulled his face toward her, "Daddy, mommy said that you have to dance too." Max turned his attention from Leah and Erin, who was hiding behind Leah, to Liz and gave her a fierce look. She just laughed and bent to say something to Rhiann, Regan and Riley, who immediately smiled and ran on their wobbly legs at Zulis.
Later, Maria walked into the room followed by Sunar carrying their son. She looked at the four adults on the floor covered by exhausted children, "Wow Liz, how long did you make them practice the slow dances?"
Liz raised her hand and covered her forehead, "Oh yeah, slow dances."
"Liz, tell me that you worked on the slow dances."
Liz sat up, "We did, for about five minutes."
Maria put her hands on her hips, "Greatttttt, you know the ball is tomorrow."
Michael moaned, "Geez, Maria, it's not like anyone is going to want to slow dance with any of our babies and if they do they will be holding them, that is if they can get past us."
Maria laughed, "Well I guess that true."
Michael turned to Max with a look of mock horror on his face, "Did Maria and I just agree?"
Maria burst out laughing and smacked him in the head as she walked by him.
Michael clutched his head, "Ow, Sunar you need to control your mate."
Sunar looked at him like he had lost his mind, and the others just laughed at him.
*****************************
The room went silent as they were announced, "Our beloved leader King Zan of the House of Ruzan, Leader of the Antillian Alliance, and Healer of the Heart. Lifemate, second key, Queen Elizabeth of Earth, third rung educator and scientist. Lifemate, third key, Lord Rath of the House of Kirath, Commander of the Antillian Force and Army. Lifemate, fourth key, Lord Zulis of the House of Lisfa, General and commanding officer of the the Royal Guard. The Four Square, blessed by the One to bring justice and peace to our people."
The four watched the whole room drop to one knee and bow their heads in admiration. Zan took Liz and Rath's hand, while Zulis took Liz's other hand. The descended the stairs and proceeded to the low platform that was set up for them to greet their people. Zan smiled when he heard several gasps, when his people noticed the glowing seals on the back on Liz's neck.
Zan put his arm around Liz's shoulders, "I wish to thank you for attending the festivities today. Please enjoy yourselves, and please introduce yourself to our queen and our beloved mates."
Zan watched the bonded couples move to the outer edge of the room and all of the unbonded move to the center.
Liz felt one of her daughters wrap her arms around her leg. She reached down and pulled Erin into her arms. Liz stroked her hair and noticed how scared Erin looked, "Sweety, what's wrong?"
Zan turned to Liz and Erin and wrapped his arms around them, "Baby? Mommy and daddy are here, you don't need to be afraid."
Erin sniffled, "Bont Shosh"
Zulis turned to Liz and Zan, "I will take her to the boys party, she has plenty of time to find her mate." Since males didn't recognise their mates until they reached maturity, the boys were having a party in their rooms. Only Allie, Emma and Erin were to attend the ball. Zulis put out his arms to Erin, "Come here little one, I'll take you to Joshua."
Erin smiled really big and pratically jumped into Zulis's arms, "Tankue daddy."
Zan, Liz and Rath watched Zulis carry Erin out of the room. Liz turned back to the ball, and noticed Manuth moving toward them.
Manuth bowed deeply in front of them, "My queen....may I be so bold as ask you a question?"
Liz smiled and waited for just the right moment to answer. Manuth was beginning to worry that he had offended her, but her smile was throwing him off. He really didn't understand her.
Liz looked down at Manuth, "You should turn around."
It took him a second to realise what she had said, "Turn around.....oh, turn around."
He turned and looked at the crowd in front of him. He saw the Princess Vilandra and her mate walking toward them, he then noticed Lady Ava and her mate right behind them.
Vilandra moved around him and then he saw what the queen wanted him to see. A beautiful little girl with blue eyes and a blue dress being held by Lady Ava's mate. He stepped toward them, but was brought up short by the hostile look on her father's face.
Kyle saw Manuth looking at his baby girl and gave him his best mean look, until he heard Liz, "Kyle, stop it. Manuth would never hurt her."
Kyle glared at Liz, "My daughter doesn't need to find her mate yet." Liz had talked with Kyle and Tess to prepare them. Tess was already feeling guilty about her part in the death of Manuth's mate, but Kyle didn't like the idea of having him hanging around like Juran did with Leah.
Liz and Tess just stared at him. Kyle sighed, "Fine."
Manuth stroked her head and grinned really big, then he turned to Liz, "Thank you."
Kyle looked at Manuth, "Please tell me.....no way man......I'm stuck with you for a......I can't even say it. Oh God, son-in-law. You're too old."
Manuth looked at Kyle, but ignored his comments, "May I hold her?"
Kyle rolled his eyes and let Manuth take her, "Great, another Juran." He turned to Zan, who was chuckling, "Just laugh it up, I saw an old man smiling really big at Emma."
Zan stopped laughing and his eyes started searching the room.
Kyle burst out laughing, "Got you, how would I know who is old? You freaking people don't seem to age."
"Real funny Kyle. Just remember you're one of us now." Zan burst out laughing at the look on Kyle's face.
"What the heck does that mean?"
Zan walked off to search for Emma and Allie, he was seriously considering taking them to the boy's party.
Just knowing that she was going to show up any minute kept him from doing any work, instead his mind wandered to his upcoming coronation. He and Liz were to be crowned. His heart raced thinking of Liz beside him as he was finally crowned, and then to be able to see her wear the crown proclaiming her the Antarian queen. How did he ever get this lucky?
His thoughts wandered to his other life, and how his heart wasn't into being king. With Liz it was different, and with Liz came Michael/Rath and Zulis. He chuckled when he thought about he and Rath being intimate. In their other life they would have killed each other and saved Khivar the trouble if either one had mentioned anything about them being intimate with each other.
Zan was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard a soft knock and his door opened. His smile broadened when he saw her brown hair.
Liz smiled back at Zan, "My love, your brain is going to start smoking you're working it so hard."
"I wasn't working, I was thinking about your body and all the things that I wanted to do to it when you showed up."
Liz walked over to his desk, she ran her hand over the top of the desk, "You know I've had a few fantasies about this desk."
Zan was out of his chair in a flash. He swept everything off of his desk and pulled Liz's back to his chest, wrapping one arm tightly around her waist as his other hand moved up her body to her neck, "I've seen those fantasies and I'm all yours."
Zan turned her face back towards his and lowered his mouth to her lips, kissing her deeply. He moved to kiss her neck, placing nibbling kisses as his mouth travelled to her ear, "Where is Zulis?"
"Huh?......oh he went to spend time with the children." The four had learned to control their awareness of each other, and learned to block out a lot of the information that had at first automatically been theirs without effort.
Zan spun Liz around lifting her onto the desk and moving between her legs. He pressed himself intimately against her lower body and reveled in the joy that surged through his body as she groaned.
Liz reached for Zan's vest only to have him grab her hands and push them over her head. Zan leaned deeper into her, pushing her to her back. He held her hands with one of his hands as the other moved lightly over her body.
"Zan, let me touch you."
He smiled against her skin, and just moved lower nipping at her ribs through her dress. Liz's lower body was moving against his stomach, trying to find relief from his torture. Zan touched her dress and dissolved it off of her body. He continued to nip at her skin as he moved to her breasts, "You have the most beautiful body, my love."
"Zannnnn, you're killing me...stop teasing."
He chuckled, "Who's teasing?" He kissed her nipple, "I'm making love to my queen." He released her hands and bent to kiss her navel, "I'm worshipping your body." Zan bent lower and ran his tongue slowly from her opening to the tip of her clitoris.
"Oh God......more....more Zan."
Zan smiled and continued to make love to his beautiful queen.
**********************
Zan pulled Liz's limp body off of the desk and reformed her dress on her. He chuckled at her sighs from being so completely sated, "Do you need me to carry you back to our rooms?"
Liz smiled, "The idea has merit, we could make love again?"
"I have the feeling that your other mates wish to spend some alone time with you."
Liz giggled, "You could play with us."
Zan raised his eyebrows, "That kind of defeats the alone with you part."
Liz ran her hand down his body and squeezed him, "But my love you don't seem to be ready to let me go yet."
"I'll never be ready to let you go, but Rath is waiting for you and so is Zulis."
Liz squeezed him again causing him to jump, then turned and walked out of the room.
Moments after she left the office she was yanked into a closet. Her first instinct was to scream, but even though it was pitch black in the closet she would know her lover's scent anywhere.
Liz used english and her most southern accent, "Oh please kind sir be gentle."
Rath growled as he spun her to face the wall. Her dress was dissolved from her body once again. Rath's hands moved slowly down her arms until he reached her hands, he raised her hands against the wall pinning them above her head with his hands.
He whispered in her ear, "Keep your hands there." His hands moved to her breasts, lifting them in his hands and stroking her nipples with his thumbs.
He pushed his knee between hers, spreading her legs. When she was positioned to his liking, he bent his knees placing himself at her opening. He nibbled on her neck and ear, until she could stand no more. He surged into her body, loving the feeling of her body adjusting to accomodate him and the way her wet walls gripped him tightly.
Rath's hands slid over her body until they came to her thighs. He moved one finger toward her center and began a slow circular pattern on her clit. He waited until she was on the edge to pull out of her, then to push back in deeply. Liz exploded, only then did Rath began to move.
Several men in the hall stopped when they heard Rath's roar coming from a closet, but many of them were used to seeing their queen and her mates coming out of the oddest places.
**************************
Rath kissed Liz after exiting the closet, and watched her practically skip down the corridor. He smiled and headed for Zan's office.
Liz entered the sitting room. She pulled her dress over her head knowing that Zulis would be in their room waiting for her. She peaked around the door and saw him on the bed sleeping.
Liz tiptoed into the room and crawled up next to him. She bent and kissed his stomach and instantly felt a hand thread through her hair, she circled his navel with her tongue and felt his length bump her face.
Liz giggled and continued licking his stomach, she moved to his hip and nibbled. Her mouth nibbled back up to his stomach then down to his other hip.
Zulis finally had to remove his hand from her head or he would just put her where he wanted her. He knew that she would move there on her own soon enough so he let her continue her playing. His hips, on the other hand, had a mind of their own. They continued to twitch, turn and lift trying to get her mouth on him.
Liz finally reached out and cupped his sac with her hand causing his hips to raise off of the bed. Liz took pity on him. She lifted his length slowing, running her hand up and down softly.
Liz looked into Zulis's eyes and moved her mouth slowly toward the tip of him. When she was just an inch away, she stuck her tongue out and licked around the mushroom shaped tip. Liz never took her eyes from his.

Zan walked off to search for Emma and Allie, he was seriously considering taking them to the boy's party.
The End of Meant to Be
Liz watched her children playing hide and seek. She smiled when she saw Joshua and Erin looking for a hiding place. Joshua was very serious and never allowed Erin to get more than a few feet away from him, he was too overly protective of his sister and refused to allow any of the guards to touch her.
Erin was quiet, almost shy and was happy to allow her brother to protect her. Joshua was already a head taller than Erin and had told his fathers that she needed him to take care of her.
All of her sons were protective of the sisters that had been born with them. Leah had Juran to protect her.
Liz turned her attention to Juran trying to deal with Leah, who at the moment was trying to kick him in the leg. Liz laughed, knowing what had caused her daughter's temper to flare. Juran had probably been instructing Leah on proper behaviour. Leah managed to get filthy just walking outside, which really annoyed Juran. He was constantly taking her in to clean her up, until Max had stepped in and explained that Juran needed to let her just play or she would make his life miserable. The smile that Juran was trying to hide on his face and the giggling from Leah spoke volumes to Liz. Leah's foot finally connected with his leg and Juran hopped on one leg acting like she had hurt him. Leah took off running to hide from Matthew, Allie and Emma.
Liz turned and watched her four youngest children as Rhiann, Regan and Riley pulled Rhys into the bushes. These were by far her most trying group of children. The girls were always dragging Rhys into scrapes and getting into trouble. Liz had dubbed them her four muskateers.
Liz smiled thinking of all of the times that she and her mates had to address their behavior, Rhys always stepped forward and told his parents that it was all his fault. His parents were never fooled by his need to safeguard his sisters and his sisters always felt terrible when he tried to take the blame. The three usually bowed their heads and recited together, "Rhys didn't do it, we did." Of course, her mates hearts always melted when their daughter's looked so sad.
Max/Zan was always the first to say, "It's okay baby." Then Michael/Rath, "We're not mad at you honey." Then Zulis, "We could never be mad at our babies." Liz gave her mates a disgusted look when the three them caved so easily.
Liz usually stepped in front of her mates and sent the girls to time out. Rhys would follow the girls to make sure that they were okay in time out. This scene played over and over until Liz turned to her mates, "They will be terrors if you don't set limits."
Max pulled Liz against him, "But my love, they look so much like you. We can't be mad at them. Besides their just babies."
Zulis and Michael just nodded their heads in agreement. They finally realised that they would have to attempt to be stern with the girls after the four of them had woken up to discover their latest prank.
Liz was startled out of her thoughts by Max, "What are you thinking my love?" Liz turned snuggling into Max's embrace as he sat next to her.
"I was thinking that our sons are such gentlemen and our daughters are a handful."
Max threw his head back in laughter, then pressed his face into her hair. Liz felt his hand pat her stomach, "Well this little gentleman and his two sisters will be joining the ranks soon."
Liz laid her hand on top of his hand, "It is nice that we were able to plan this pregnancy. I thought that Zulis's parents would split at the seams, they were so happy to have more grandchildren. I thought for sure that when we visited them this last week that the four muskateer's pranks would surely get us thrown out of their house."
Liz remembered waking to Xarlandra's scream and Lisfa's laughter. She and her mates had thrown on their robes and run to see if their help was needed, only to be brought up short by the sight of Zulis's parent's and their pink hair. Hot pink hair. Liz saw the movement of the children's door. Max grabbed her around her waist as she went to confront the culprits.
Max laid his chin on her shoulder, "Take a deep breath, they were just playing."
Liz turned around to look at her mates with her hands on her hips, "The three of you are going into that room and you are going to make sure that our daughters understand that this is not acceptable."
Xarlandra walked up to Liz, "It's okay daughter. It was just the shock when I looked into the mirror. It is actually funny. I'm assuming it was Regan, Riley and Rhiann, with Rhys?"
Lisfa watched his son and his male mates exit the children's room each carrying one of the culprits. Rhys was not far behind, pulling on Max, Michael and Zulis pants, "Daddy, it's my fault. I told them to do it. Really it was my fault this time. Please don't punish them, I can't stand it."
Liz walked over to her son and knelt beside him, "Rhys, you have to stop protecting them. You know that we aren't going to hurt them, but they have to understand that this is not acceptable behaviour. They will be made to apologise and then they must accept the consequences of their actions."
Rhys threw his arms around Liz's neck, "But mommy it really was my idea."
Liz turned and looked at Rhys's three sisters, each one had their head lowered with their heads shaking back and forth letting Liz know that it was completely their idea.
Liz turned back to Rhys, "Baby, it's noble of you to want to protect your sisters, but they have to be responsible for their actions and you have to learn to stop lying about being responsible."
Liz turned back to her daughters, "What do you say to your grandparents?"
The three walked up to Xarlandra and Lisfa with their heads bowed, Rhys moved up beside them and all four spoke together, "We're sorry, Poppy and Nina. We shouldn't turn people's hair hot pink."
The children had come up with names for all of their grandparents, since they had so many. It was easier to keep them straight if they had different names. Xarlandra wasn't sure at first, but Lisfa loved the name.
Once again Liz was pulled from her thoughts.
Zulis had heard her comment about his parents excitement as he walked up to her, "My parents wish to be here when the babies are born." He sat beside her and reached around her to caress Max's neck as he kissed Liz's forehead, linking his other hand with theirs on top of her stomach.
Michael joined them. He situated himself on the ground in front of Liz and leaned back between her legs. Nibbling the inside of her thighs everytime he turned to listen to their conversation.
Liz stroked Michael's hair, "It feels good to be so free."
The four sat and watched their three oldest children searching for their siblings.
Each set worked together as a unit, as if they knew what the other was thinking. Leah was their only exception. As soon as Leah was away from Juran, Joshua would run over pulling Erin behind him and grab Leah's hand. Leah was a part of their set when they played.
Max stood up and yelled to the children, "It's time to go in."
Liz watched Leah run to Juran and throw herself at him. She laid her head on his shoulder and hugged his neck. Juran smiled and hugged her back.
All of the other children came running toward their parents, except the four youngest.
Liz nudged Zulis and Michael, "They are in the bushes over there." Liz pointed to the bushes that Rhiann, Regan and Riley had pulled Rhys through.
Zulis and Michael circled the bushes. Loud squeals of laughter came from the bushes. Liz watched both of her mates walk out with a 5 year old child tucked under each arm.
Max pulled Liz into his side and felt children wrapping their arms around his leg. He looked down to see Allie and Emma smiling up at him. They were almost exact copies of his Liz at that age, he reached down and tossled their hair causing them to laugh and run ahead of their parents.
Juran walked up to Max, "Leah is cranky and wants her daddy."
Max smiled, "Give her to me. Oh and Juran, how's the leg?"
Juran looked down at his leg and smiled, "It's fine, she kicks like a baby."
Leah giggled, and Max whispered to her, "Kick harder next time." Leah turned to Juran and smiled smugly at him.
Juran smiled back at her and shook his head.
Juran would have his hands full whenever they allowed him to bond with Leah.
Max hugged Leah and set her down, "Go with Joshua and Erin." Leah ran to Joshua and grabbed his hand, and the three ran after their other siblings.
Juran bowed and excused himself as the kings mates approached him.
Max watched his mates approached. His world was complete and he knew that he owed all of his happiness to one person, his wife and soulmate. Max pulled her into his arms and led her into their home.
The End
I've started a sequel called "Finding their Own" it's on the UC thread.
Erin was quiet, almost shy and was happy to allow her brother to protect her. Joshua was already a head taller than Erin and had told his fathers that she needed him to take care of her.
All of her sons were protective of the sisters that had been born with them. Leah had Juran to protect her.

Liz saw the movement of the children's door. Max grabbed her around her waist as she went to confront the culprits.
Max laid his chin on her shoulder, "Take a deep breath, they were just playing."
Liz turned around to look at her mates with her hands on her hips, "The three of you are going into that room and you are going to make sure that our daughters understand that this is not acceptable."
Xarlandra walked up to Liz, "It's okay daughter. It was just the shock when I looked into the mirror. It is actually funny. I'm assuming it was Regan, Riley and Rhiann, with Rhys?"
Lisfa watched his son and his male mates exit the children's room each carrying one of the culprits. Rhys was not far behind, pulling on Max, Michael and Zulis pants, "Daddy, it's my fault. I told them to do it. Really it was my fault this time. Please don't punish them, I can't stand it."
Liz walked over to her son and knelt beside him, "Rhys, you have to stop protecting them. You know that we aren't going to hurt them, but they have to understand that this is not acceptable behaviour. They will be made to apologise and then they must accept the consequences of their actions."
Rhys threw his arms around Liz's neck, "But mommy it really was my idea."
Liz turned and looked at Rhys's three sisters, each one had their head lowered with their heads shaking back and forth letting Liz know that it was completely their idea.
Liz turned back to Rhys, "Baby, it's noble of you to want to protect your sisters, but they have to be responsible for their actions and you have to learn to stop lying about being responsible."
Liz turned back to her daughters, "What do you say to your grandparents?"
The three walked up to Xarlandra and Lisfa with their heads bowed, Rhys moved up beside them and all four spoke together, "We're sorry, Poppy and Nina. We shouldn't turn people's hair hot pink."
The children had come up with names for all of their grandparents, since they had so many. It was easier to keep them straight if they had different names. Xarlandra wasn't sure at first, but Lisfa loved the name.
Once again Liz was pulled from her thoughts.
Zulis had heard her comment about his parents excitement as he walked up to her, "My parents wish to be here when the babies are born." He sat beside her and reached around her to caress Max's neck as he kissed Liz's forehead, linking his other hand with theirs on top of her stomach.
Michael joined them. He situated himself on the ground in front of Liz and leaned back between her legs. Nibbling the inside of her thighs everytime he turned to listen to their conversation.
Liz stroked Michael's hair, "It feels good to be so free."
The four sat and watched their three oldest children searching for their siblings.
Each set worked together as a unit, as if they knew what the other was thinking. Leah was their only exception. As soon as Leah was away from Juran, Joshua would run over pulling Erin behind him and grab Leah's hand. Leah was a part of their set when they played.
Max stood up and yelled to the children, "It's time to go in."
Liz watched Leah run to Juran and throw herself at him. She laid her head on his shoulder and hugged his neck. Juran smiled and hugged her back.
All of the other children came running toward their parents, except the four youngest.
Liz nudged Zulis and Michael, "They are in the bushes over there." Liz pointed to the bushes that Rhiann, Regan and Riley had pulled Rhys through.
Zulis and Michael circled the bushes. Loud squeals of laughter came from the bushes. Liz watched both of her mates walk out with a 5 year old child tucked under each arm.
Max pulled Liz into his side and felt children wrapping their arms around his leg. He looked down to see Allie and Emma smiling up at him. They were almost exact copies of his Liz at that age, he reached down and tossled their hair causing them to laugh and run ahead of their parents.
Juran walked up to Max, "Leah is cranky and wants her daddy."
Max smiled, "Give her to me. Oh and Juran, how's the leg?"
Juran looked down at his leg and smiled, "It's fine, she kicks like a baby."
Leah giggled, and Max whispered to her, "Kick harder next time." Leah turned to Juran and smiled smugly at him.
Juran smiled back at her and shook his head.
Juran would have his hands full whenever they allowed him to bond with Leah.
Max hugged Leah and set her down, "Go with Joshua and Erin." Leah ran to Joshua and grabbed his hand, and the three ran after their other siblings.
Juran bowed and excused himself as the kings mates approached him.
Max watched his mates approached. His world was complete and he knew that he owed all of his happiness to one person, his wife and soulmate. Max pulled her into his arms and led her into their home.
The End
