On automatic pilot, Col's ship approached his home planet of Belthola. Automatic signals were sent to the planet below, identifying the ship to the proper port authorities. In addition, the ship sent a status report of the passengers. All three were in perfect health and sleeping peacefully. Satisfied, the duty staff ordered the ship to maintain its orbit.
Aboard ship, one sleeper slowly stirred. Eric Ashton, Matthew's brother, rolled to his back, his eyelids lifting and falling as he fought waking. He'd been having a very sweet dream. A dream in which his now heavy erection was being serviced by a very industrious and appreciative pair of lips.
Groaning, he rolled to his back and pushed away the light blanket that covered him. Eric reached down, letting his hand slide over his torso and belly. Going further still, he felt the first tickle of pubic hair against his fingertips, seconds before wrapping his hand around the thick width of his cock. Slowly, his hand moved. The stroke was smooth and deliberate, gradually building his arousal.
Still partially enveloped in sleep and totally relaxed, Eric let his mind drift. His dream resurfaced, the image causing his fingers to tighten around his erection. He grunted with pleasure and increased the pace, but still, something was missing. Something he could feel waiting, just out of reach. Unconsciously, bit by bit, he let his mental shields dissolve.
His mind rapidly and automatically sifted through the impressions that began to seep in. Somewhere nearby, the thing he sought waited. It called out to him, drawing him closer and closer until with a sigh of satisfaction he found it and sank within. Enveloped in an unexpected flash of heat, Eric groaned. His cock pulsed within the stroking confines of his fist, his arousal suddenly magnified and growing.

Below, on the planet, Greyan Dennon was engaged in diplomatic negotiations. The conference room was carefully appointed. The colors were neutral and calming. The temperature was set at an optimal state. Too warm would make tempers rise, too cold made concentration hard and fostered an increase of impatience to be elsewhere. The butter-soft, leather chairs were padded, geared to cradle and comfort the user.
Greyan was pleased at the progress being made. His two, sometimes combatant, clients were finally in agreement. What remained was merely to formalize the terms and add their signatures to the final product. This process was even now underway. He sat back with a satisfied sigh that nearly morphed into a surprised groan of pleasure.
Reining in the burst of arousal that assailed him, Grey gritted his teeth, forcing himself to remain still in his seat, even as his cock thickened and grew. His thoughts immediately went to his twin brother, Sethian.
"I told him I was going to be in conference this morning. Wait till I get my hands on him!" Greyan thought silently. He sent his consciousness winging outward. Making the connection with his brother, he mentally shouted, "Seth, you horny bastard. Stop whatever you're doing. Right now!"
"It's not me!"
"Not you? Who else could it be?"
"I don't know. I've never felt him before," Sethian groaned. "But I sure as hell feel him now!"
Grey suppressed a shudder. "I've got to get out of here before I disgrace myself." He let the connection with Seth grow slack.
Returning his attention to those present, he found himself the target of several sets of puzzled eyes. Mentally rolling his eyes, he smiled at them. "Gentlemen, I've just received a communication from my brother. A matter of some urgency. As you're all in agreement at this point, I believe my work here is done." He rose from his chair, keeping his jacket carefully arranged to cover the thick bulge at his crotch.
Putting his high-backed chair between himself and the assembled company, he accepted their thanks as sweat broke out between his shoulder blades. The arousal was building faster now. Greyan felt as though he'd just been shoved into an oven. He struggled to still breaths that wanted to turn into pants, but was unable to slow his now thudding heartbeat.
As his clients wound down, Grey thanked them and made his escape. Had it been possible, he could swear there was a disembodied hand stroking his cock. Allowing his breath to explode out in a panting groan, he hurried to his office and raced into the bathroom. His pants were opened in record time, his straining shaft jumping free.
Grey took himself in hand and frantically pumped. The mental link with his brother and the unknown male expanded, drew them in, then threw them together with a violent jerk. They merged. Climax exploded through them. Three cocks simultaneously jerked and expelled wild, spine-wrenching, spumes of semen. Greyan threw back his head on a guttural groan and slid to the floor as his knees buckled. Shuddering, he rested for a time, listening to his own heartbeat grow still and steady.
"Seth? You still alive?" he questioned, sending the thought to his brother.
"Barely. Please tell me you made it out of the conference. I don't want to have to try and explain that to the council."
"I made it. Who do think that was?"
"I don't' know. But I sure intend to find out."

Eric, brother to Matt, was in for the surprise of his life. When Matt's mate found him, his world changed. Col came from a different planet named Belthola, where men chose their mates by instinct, not by choice. Seeing how happy Matt was, Eric was more than willing to follow them to Col's home.
Waiting on the planted Belthola was not one, but two gorgeous men. Grey and Seth have anguished for a mate for a long time. Now, that Eric has found them, they do not plan to lose him to anyone or anything.
This character driven novel is fantastic. Why, one might ask? I fell in love with each character. Matt and Col are secondary characters in Double or Nothing, although they appear in the first Bond of the Maleri' book, Mate Hunt. They make a great first impression. Ms. Steele really knows how to begin a story with steamy sex. Don’t worry about a lack of the main characters being explored; Eric makes his presence known shortly after his brother and Col. He has quite a mind-blowing experience himself. I soon learned that there was not much Eric could not handle, in and out of the bedroom. I know what I would do with two sexy men and Eric does that and more. Be warned, this story involves many homoerotic love scenes. If you are looking for a woman in the bedroom, you won't find one. However, if good writing, wonderful characters, and hot sex interest you, then Bond of Maleri 2: Double or Nothing is the ticket. I would gladly read more of the series. Ms. Steele has my vote of confidence.

Col Odairie returns to the Maleri’ home planet with his chosen mate, Matt
Ashton of Earth, and Matt’s brother Eric. All three men are empaths,
although Col and Matt’s talents are thought to be more highly developed than
Matt’s. Col and Matt are now well and truly mated, a process required for
adult Maleri’ to drain off the excess mental energy due to their empathic
nature. During the planetary approach, Eric, deep in sleep, unconsciously
and unintentionally reaches out in lustful thought to two twin brothers on
the planet below. The sexual empathy is so strong that the three reach a
simultaneous explosive release, although only two of them, the twins, are
aware of the identity of one of the others. Eric, however, can eventually
discern two separate entities with whom he has linked, and all three are
eager to discover the new contact.
At the age of eighteen, all male Maleri’ are partnered with an existing
relationship pair, in order to reduce the amount of excess mental energy
experienced by these empaths, and Matt and Eric meet Geral and Sam, the pair
with whom Col had been partnered until he traveled to Earth to find his
mate, Matt. When Eric encounters the twins Greyian and Sethian at a Council
function, a touch of their hands proves that they are the two Maleri’ whom
his mind had contacted earlier. Conveniently, the brothers are still single
and of eligible age to mate.
This is another sizzling offering in Kate Steele’s excellent Bond of the
Maleri series. If possible, this entry is even better than the first. I
anticipate further stories in this series. I highly recommend it, with the
caution that it does contain explicit language and graphic m/m and m/m/m
ménage intimacies.
