Torus wanted to be close to her too—he couldn’t think of anything he wanted more than to hold her small, curvy body close to his and give her pleasure. But he knew if they went too far, it might make the effects of the Bonding Fruit she’d ingested worse. And though she tried to pretend she wasn’t having any effects at all, he thought she was. He could smell her heat and feel her desire through their TET link. So he reluctantly decided that even if they were sharing the bed, they should probably keep their distance from each other.
They had taken turns showering earlier and dressed in their nightclothes. Torus only ever wore sleep trousers to bed and preferred to sleep bare-chested. Molly, he couldn’t help noticing, was wearing a sheer silky nightdress in a shade of green that made her hazel eyes seem almost emerald tonight. He could see the stiff points of her nipples pressing against the thin fabric and he couldn’t help wondering what it would feel like to pull up her nightdress and suck them until she moaned for him…
No, stop it! he told himself as he slid under the covers, making sure to stay on his side of the bed. Stop thinking like that—you’re only going to make things worse.
Molly slid into her side of the bed as well and turned towards him. Torus could hear her wishing that he would come to her…and then wishing she had enough courage to go to him. When he felt her longing and loneliness through their link, it took every ounce of his willpower not to go to her. He wanted so badly to take her in his arms and cuddle her close to his chest…to feel her small, curvy body melting against his…
Somehow, he managed not to do it. Turning on his side, he put his back to her and reached to turn off the lamp.
“Goodnight, sweetheart,” he murmured in the darkness.
He heard a long, sad sigh behind him and her soft voice replied,
“Goodnight.”
And then there was nothing to do but try to sleep.

TORUS
The sound of someone moaning woke him up. Torus opened his eyes in the dark room, feeling disoriented at first. Like all Kindred, he could see quite well in the dark, but he still felt confused. Where was he and what was going on? Also, what smelled so good?
Like a female in heat, he thought groggily.
“Oh…ohhhh!”
The moaning came again and the voice was familiar. Everything came flooding back to him and he turned to see Molly writhing in the bed beside him. Her eyes were tightly shut—the long lashes like delicate fans on her high cheekbones—and she was thrashing and crying out as though she was in pain.
Torus frowned—was she still asleep?
“Molly? Sweetheart?” He put a hand on her shoulder. “Little bird?”
“Torus!” Her eyes flew open and the pain and need he saw in them tore at his heart.
“Sweetheart, what’s wrong?” he asked her, already knowing the answer.
Molly shook her head.
“Don’t know. I feel so…so empty inside! Down there.” She pointed to the place between her legs and Torus saw that her silky green nightdress had been raised above her hips and the panties he’d been sure she was wearing earlier had somehow disappeared, leaving her soft little pussy bare.
He nearly groaned with desire—this was exactly what he’d been afraid of!
“It must be the Bonding Fruit wine. Come here.”
He pulled her close to his side. Now that the Bonding Fruit had taken effect, there was nothing they could do but try to deal with it. There was no point in putting distance between them anymore.
Molly came to him at once, wrapping her arms and legs around his body—well, as far as she could reach anyway. Torus nearly groaned at the tempting feeling of her soft breasts and bare pussy pressing against his side. He had to be careful, he reminded himself—she was so small and delicate. He didn’t want to hurt her.
“Torus…I need…I need…I don’t know what I need!” Her words ended in a moan and she nuzzled against him almost desperately.
“I know, sweetheart. I know.” He stroked her trembling back and shoulders, loving the feel of her satiny skin against his fingertips. He’d heard stories from some other Kindred who had taken Earth brides about how Bonding Fruit affected them—especially if the deep sexual need it caused wasn’t met. He had to give Molly what she needed—but carefully.
But as he was thinking how to do that, she began rubbing against him.
“Torus, please!” she moaned, her eyes hazy with lust. “Please, Bond me to you! You were right—I need to be filled. Put yourself inside me—please!”
His heart squeezed at her request…and his cock throbbed.
“Sweetheart, I really don’t think that’s going to be possible,” he said carefully.
As soon as he spoke the words, he could feel her disbelief and hear her thinking,
