Feran's hands.  They squeezed reassuredly making
her smile, alleviating the flutters of her stomach.  Knitting their fingers
together, they nodded towards the healer. 
    A
shiny amber colored  stone  called a Light Core rested on a stand in front of
her.  Translucent and shiny, it appeared to glow from within.
    The
healer raised her arms and held her hands over their heads. 
    “Let
the Knowing bind your lives together.”
    Radiating
like fiire, she closed her to keep from being blinded.  Suddenly unable to hear
the healer or feel Kellam's or Feran's grip, she panicked.  Then a strong
comforting presence surrounded her mind. 
    Sweetheart
we are here.  Do not fear.
    It
was Kellam.  She heard him but was not sure if she heard him in her mind or
with her ears.
    Then
an image appeared in Zisa's mind.  Three dots joined by a circle.  As the light
from the ring grew, she felt a jolt of electricity go through her body. 
Suddenly she felt Feran's anxiety and Kellam's quiet certainty.  Their feelings
were hers and she knew hers were theirs.

Chapter Six
    “D o
you think he plans on joining us?” Zisa asked Kellam as he grasped her ankle.
    Lifting
her leg, he squeezed the sponge in his hand pouring soapy water all over it.
    “I
should hope so,” he replied distracted by her leg. 
    She
nestled her back against his firm and muscular chest. 
    “He
is bonded with us,” he continued lowering her other leg. 
    Zisa
giggled enjoying a soothing bubble bath.  Only an hour into their lives as
life-mates, Feran was gone.  Where, she did not know.
    “Is
he going to be this absent throughout our life?” she asked, concern gnawing at
her mind.  Ever since the bond, something changed inside of her.  She could
feel their emotions as hers and hear their thoughts.  It was strange yet
comforting to be so close. 
    Kellam's
thickening penis pushed against her back.  He sipped the wine from a goblet
they both shared and placed it on the ledge of the tub. 
    “Love
you should know him by now.  He's high strung.”
    She
caressed his powerful thighs.  Every bit of his body was powerful.  He was raw
energy filled with the Knowing that flowed through him.  Yes, he could be
gentle too but many times when they allowed their passion to flow free his desires
overwhelmed his control releasing the strength that was so evident in his giant
form. 
    She
tensed when she thought about making love for the first time.  She was opening
herself for the first time to two men. 
    Will
there be a lot of pain?  Will I be any good? The questions gnawed at her
brain.
    “Are
you nervous?” Kellam asked placing the nearly
    empty
goblet on the edge of the stone tub.
    She
lifted the glass and sipped the dry wine.  “A little.  I mean, I'm not totally
naive. I know what to expect but I am afraid.”
    His
soapy hand caressed her chin.  “Of what? We love you.”
    She
smiled.  “I'm afraid I will be a disappointment. I'm not very skilled in
    the
art of love making.” 
    Embarrassed
she stared at the bubbly water.
    “This
isn't a competition nor is it a test,” he said kissing top of her head.  “We
shall discover each other together.  As for the-rest-—I will be your
teacher.”
    She
nodded fully trusting him.
    “Okay. 
But I must warn you.  I love being the teacher's pet.”
    “Ahh,
an eager student,” he said squeezing water on her head.
    She
retaliated causing a water fight soaking them both.  After rinsing off, Zisa
reached for a thick towel, surprised watching it fly into her hand. 
    Surprised
she gazed at Kellam.
    Amused,
he chuckled.  “That was not you.  It was me.”
    “Jerk,”
she said swatting at him.
    He
dried himself with his own towel, laughing at his own joke. 
    “A
comedian,” she groused.  “Of all the gebeds in the galaxy I get a comedian.”
    “You
know you love it,” he replied in between kisses. 
    Taking
the towel out of her hand, Kellam led her into the bedroom.  The door hissed
shut,
