3013: MATED (3013: The Series) (19 page)

Alexis let her love flow to her
mates through their bond and straightened to her full height. “I have been
given a chance for something greater, to be better and a chance at real
happiness. I found love and with my mates. I’d regret if this alters relations
between Dragon Warriors and humans, but I won’t let you come between me and my
mates. We do not plan to stay on Earth long and will be leaving soon. Still, I
would like to know we will be allowed to come back and visit.” 

“You will always be welcomed here,
and I assure you the regents will be taking care of this matter internally,”
Regent Spartan assured, flicking an icy look of distain at Regent Dexter. “This
matter is now closed.”

“This is outrageous!” Regent
Dexter screamed.

“Guards, why don’t you escort
Regent Dexter home where he will remain until we can investigate his actions
properly.”

The man shouted, making a fool of
himself as two elite soldiers removed him from the room. a few of the other
regents left now that the excitement was over until only Regents Spartan and
Wyland were left.

“You’ve got a mouth on you, my
boy,” Regent Spartan said to his son.

Jax snorted. “Who the hell do you
think I learned it from, old man? I told you that asshole was going to be a
problem.”

“He was voted into office.”

“By other regents and high
command. If you allowed the officers to vote he would have never gained his
position,” Alexis pointed out.

“This is true, and something we
have to consider,” Regent Wyland said with a nod.

Brydan frowned. “You are saying
that the governing body will be the ones to decide if they want to limit their
power by giving the vote to the people? Is that not what had gotten you into
trouble already?”

“No system is perfect,
unfortunately,” Regent Spartan explained. “But it was made clear tonight that
there is a need for some changes to be made. Hell, I wouldn’t mind if someone
else took my place on the council.”

Jax laughed. “What, you retire?
Mother would kill you if you and my other father were home with nothing to do
but bug her.”

“I can’t imagine you giving up
having a say what is going on,” Archer added.

Regent Spartan sighed. “I’m
afraid they are right.” He turned his attention to Alexis and her mates. “I am
very sorry this happened when tonight should have been a celebration of your
mating. Please allow us to have you over for dinner to make up for it before
you leave with your mates.”

“Sir—” Alexis began, but she was
cut off as Regent Spartan cupped her face in his hands. She felt the affection
the older man felt for her and smiled up at him. When she was young, she had
always wished her family had been as loving as Jax’s parents were, but even the
brief times she had stayed at their place during breaks from the Academy they
had made her feel welcomed.

“Let us celebrate with you, Alexis.”

“I would like that,” Alexis said
softly. The older man smiled and pressed a kiss to her forehead, making her
mates growl in warning.

Regent Spartan chuckled. “You are
going to have your hands full with these four, Alexis. Come, Jax, Sully. I want
your take on what we should do about this business with Dexter. Marie.” He
gestured to Regent Wyland, Jax and Archer and the four of them left the room
together.

“I am sorry that man ruined your
party,” Galan said as he pulled Alexis to him as soon as they were alone. He
pressed his lips lightly against hers, needing the connection with her after
having their mating challenged by strangers.

“It wasn’t ruined,” Alexis
countered. “I’m actually I glad I got to say a lot of that stuff. I would have
never had the opportunity to speak in front of the Council of Regents like this
otherwise.”

“This system is flawed,” Brydan
grumbled as he pressed against her back.

“It is,” she agreed, turning her
head for his kiss.

“Come here, mate.” Thorn said as
he pulled her away from the others and took her lips in a long, heated kiss.
When he pulled back, Xavier claimed her, lifting her off her feet as his mouth
slammed down on hers.

“I did not like having them
challenge our mating. No one can take you away from us. We vow to protect you
always.”

“I know you will, big guy.” She
smiled. “Now that the regents know that we are mated there is nothing to worry
about. Why don’t we go enjoy some of the decadent food they have provided then
we can go home and continue our celebration in private?”

“That is a good idea,” Galan
agreed, his glowing silver eyes taking on a wicked gleam. “I say we reward our
little mate for defending our mating by seeing just how many times we can make
her orgasm this night.”

Her knees went weak as arousal
flooded her system and she couldn’t help but grin.

That sounded like a damn good
plan.

Epilogue

Thorn chased their mate down the
long corridor of their space vessel, laughter rumbling in his chest as she
turned to smile back at him as her pale hair streamed out behind her.

“You think you can escape me,
mate?”

Her only response was more
laughter as she kicked it in gear and ran faster.

Gods, he loved her.

It had been a month since they
had left Earth, and it was almost like setting out for their first adventure
exploring the stars as all four males saw it through Alexis’ eyes. Thorn loved
sharing all the new experiences with her. He wanted to lay worlds at her feet
and shower her with all the riches they could find on the different planets
they visited. She didn’t need any of it though. Alexis said all she needed or
wanted was her mates, and she showed them just how much she loved every moment
they spent together.

Being on their vessel was
different with Alexis on board. She brought a light to the cold interior that
made her a joy to be around. Her vital presence chased away the memory of those
long, lonely years they had spent exploring without their mate by their side,
and she filled Thorn’s heart with a love so strong he had a difficult time
believing she truly belonged to them and wasn’t just a figment of his dreams.

They had converted the master
bedroom into her room, decorating it with items and colors of her choosing.
They knew she preferred gold and silver because it reminded her of their eyes,
but they had added accents of purple hues to the room in her honor. They had
also made sure to add a large shower into the bathing room to go with the large
pool they used to cleanse themselves. Because they used the gel-like water from
their homeworld, they didn’t need any additional soaps or other products, but
they had made sure to stock plenty of her favorites before they left her home
planet.

At night two of them slept beside
her, cuddled together on the large bed in the center of the room while the
other two retreated to their own quarters or took turns monitoring their flight
path. It was on those days that he slept alone that Thorn counted down the
seconds until she was awake, waiting impatiently for the opportunity to see her
again. He didn’t like being away from her for very long, and he knew the others
felt the same way.

She was their greatest treasure.

Love filled him as she cast
another look back at him, and he slowed his steps, not wanting to put an end to
their fun before she was ready. He loved the way her ass looked in the black
warrior’s pants she liked to wear, but she had paired it with a bright purple
halter top that left her back bare so he could see their mark on her. She ran
towards the control room where Xavier and Galan were plotting a new course that
would take them to a space station they wanted to show her.

The doors slide open soundlessly
and Xavier and Galan turned as she entered the room at a dead run. “What is
this?” Xavier asked as he caught her when she jumped into his arms. She giggled
as she pressed her lips to his, wrapping her arms around his neck.

“Save me!”

Thorn hurried into the room after
her, smiling as she turned and shot him an impish grin.

“You think Xavier can protect you
from me?”

“What has our naughty mate done
now?”

She wiggled free of Xavier’s arms
and hurried over to sit on Galan’s lap, curling into him as if for protection.
“I haven’t done anything.”

“I think someone is lying,” Galan
growled as he nipped at her lower lip playfully.

The doors slid open again and
Brydan stomped into the room. “I cannot believe you tripped me, mate! Remember
that statue those females on Helix gave us?” he asked with a low growl.

Xavier’s brow rose. “The one that
they gave us because they thought we were gods?”

“Aye, that is the one,” Thorn
responded. “Someone just decided to release it into space from one of the
ports.”

“You threw away a gift given to
us?” Xavier asked with a growl, but his glowing silver eyes sparkled with
mirth.

“There was no need for you to
keep a statue those females made that highlighted your cocks, thank you very
much,” Alexis huffed out.

“I believe someone is jealous,”
Galan murmured as he nuzzled her neck.

Brydan smirked down at her with
his hands braced on his hips. “Aye, I would say she is.”

Her eyes widened comically. “Ha!
Like you are one to talk! You melted the hair combs gifted to me from those
nice D’Airians!”

Galan choked on a laugh. “You
melted her hair clips?”

Brydan’s smile faded. “They
should not have given you anything! We are your males and we provide for you!”

“Galan had already asked me not
to wear them and I agreed. You didn’t need to melt them into a pile of goo.”
She batted her eyelashes at him innocently. “It wasn’t like it was a statue of
me naked.”

That had all four of her mates
frowning fiercely at her. “It better not be. Ever. No other male sees you
bare,” Xavier said as his eyes burned bright with anger at the thought.

Galan growled when Alexis shifted
on his lap, making his cock swell in his pants. Their sweet, little mate knew
exactly how feral it made them to think about other males seeing her beautiful
body. She belonged to them and they would kill anyone who touched her or tried
to take her from them.

“Perhaps you need a reminder of
who you belong to,” Galan whispered. Reaching up, he cupped her breasts, and he
smiled when he felt her nipples harden against his palms.

“As if I could forget…” She
swayed toward him, letting her lips brush lightly against his. When he moved to
take the kiss deeper, she pulled back.

Standing, she sent them each a
look that had their blood pressure rising before she turned and headed for the
door. “Well, I think it was a fitting punishment. Brydan destroyed a gift given
to me, so I booted your statue out of the port.”

“After you smashed it to pieces,”
Thorn added.

She wrinkled her nose at him.
“Whatever. I’m going to our room. If you are done missing your statue, you may
join me. If not, you can just stay here and sulk.”

She barely made it across the
room before she was swept up in Thorn’s arms. He loved how she immediately
wrapped her arms around his neck and seemed to melt into him. “We do not sulk.
You may get rid of whatever you like if it angers you, my love.”

She sighed as she rested her head
on his shoulder. “I’m sorry, I just love you so much I can’t stand it
sometimes.”

Tenderness filled Thorn’s glowing
eyes as he carried her down the corridor with the others quickly following. He
stroked her hair and pressed a kiss to her temple. “You are entitled to feel jealous
of our life before, but never doubt that you are now the only one in our
hearts.”

“I know that. I was just having
fun, but Brydan goaded me into losing my temper.”

“Something that I am extremely
good at doing it seems,” Brydan said with a wink as the door to the master
bedroom slid open. He let out an exaggerated sigh. “But I shall miss that
statue…”

“You’re lucky I just tossed it and
didn’t smash you over the head with it!” She lunged out of Thorn’s arms, and Brydan
caught her to him with a laugh, tumbling them down onto the large bed.

“I believe that pregnancy had
made you volatile.”

She gripped his hair in her fist
and gave him a yank forward. “You like getting me fired up,” she accused.

“Aye, I do.”

“Then make it burn, Brydan.” She
crushed her mouth to his and she willed their clothes away so their naked flesh
rubbed together causing a firestorm of heat to curl in her belly. They could
always do this to her. All it took was one touch and she was instantly ready
for them. Her body softening against their hardness, her pussy slickening as
she craved their possession.

Brydan placed a hand over her
stomach over the small bump, his eyes gentling as he studied her. “Are you
feeling okay?”

The last few days she had begun
to have morning sickness that debilitated her for hours as soon as she woke up.
She already had her bout for the day, but every time she got sick, her mates
hovered around her like crazy men. She had forced them to make a promise to her
that they would go to a medical facility with other women when she was due to
give birth. There was no way in hell she wanted to be stuck with them when she
was ready to give birth. If they had such a hard time dealing with her when she
was throwing up, she was not looking forward to giving birth with the four of
them going to pieces around her.

"I’m fine. Don’t worry about
me. Now, lie back and take your punishment," she whispered and he automatically
maneuvered them so he was lying back on the bed with her straddling his thighs.
His erection was throbbing with need and he stiffened when her hands slowly
stroked over the tense muscles of his abdomen, down over his straining staff.
His body jerked under her touch and he sighed with pleasure as he watched her.

Alexis lifted up a little and
positioned his cock at the entrance of her pussy, pressing down slowly so she
felt every inch of his thick erection sinking into her hot depths. Her head fell
back on a moan and she felt Xavier’s hard body pressing against her back, his
cock sliding against the crease of her ass as his fangs nicked at her neck.

“Are you still missing your
statue?” she asked, teasing him with her slow movements.

“Fuck the statute,” Brydan
growled as he gripped her hips. He groaned as she tightened around him. She was
so hot, so wet that her juices were soaking them both as she welcomed him
inside her body. The sweet scent of her arousal filled the room and it made him
hungry for a taste even as he refused to leave the haven of her body. His hips
surged up, pushing deeper inside her as she began moving over him.

Xavier rubbed his fingers over
the tight rosebud of her ass, using his magic and her own slickness to push
inside of her. He worked his fingers inside of her, stretching her as she
squirmed beneath him. Her breathless cries ignited a wild hunger inside of him
that made him desperate to have her.

He would never get enough.

Through their bond he felt the
sharp pain of his entrance fade as he worked his fingers inside of her. He
adjusted his touch according to what brought her the most pleasure and he
watched his brother and their mate kissing as he moved into position. Pulling
his fingers free of her grasping flesh, he pushed the head of his cock to her
tiny entrance and began filling her ass with his cock.

Alexis pushed back slightly,
taking more of him until the head of his cock popped past the tight ring of
muscles. He stilled, allowing her to get used to him before he pushed forward.
Being inside of her was like coming home. When her body relaxed he slid deeper,
filling her completely as his pushed her down over Brydan and his large body
covered her back.

“Easy, mate. Just relax and let
us love you.”

Looking at their marking on her
skin, he slowly began rocking his hips. “You are amazing, Alexis. Your tight
ass and sweet little pussy were made for us to fuck, to love.”

He began pumping his hips against
her faster, using longer strokes that countered Brydan’s so they kept her at
the edge of release.

“More, I need more,” she cried
out. “Please, I’m so close. Fuck me, Xavier. Fuck my ass while Brydan fills my pussy.
Do it, claim me.”

“You are so impatient, mate,”
Xavier growled, but gave her what she asked for. Gripping her hips hard, he began
pumping into her fast and hard. His thick shaft rubbing against Brydan’s through
the thin barrier inside her and every stroke brought him closer to climax.

Brydan pulled her down and took
her lips in a brutal kiss as the force of Xavier’s thrusts pushed her onto his
cock. “Let us give you what you need, mate. Let us love you.”

“I love you,” she sobbed as the
pleasure seared her from the inside out. “I love you so much.”

“As we love you,” Xavier said as
he pounded into her ass. “You are our everything. I love you, little one. I
love you so fucking much I would die without you.”

“Aye, you are our world, Lexie. I
will love you until the end of time. Now come, mate. Come on my cock and milk
my seed inside you.”

“Aye, come for us, little one,” Xavier
demanded as he continued to pound into her ass with fast, hard thrusts. “Come
and take us with you.”

On their next thrust, Alexis
screamed out as her body shattered and her body tightened, clamping down on
their cocks like a vise. Xavier pulled out of her, working his hand over his
cock as he stroked himself to completion, spilling his pearly cum over her ass
as Brydan exploded inside her pussy. His cock swelled, and another climax
rocked her before the first had even ended. She slumped against Brydan, panting
for breath and whimpered as she felt another hard cock rubbing against her ass.

“Shh, easy, mate,” Galan growled
softly.

A new fire burned inside of her
as she was lifted up off Brydan and his cock slid from her pussy now that the
swelling had gone down.

Galan laid her down on the bed,
his large hands stroking over her soft skin, loving the feel of her. He parted
her thighs and moved over her, sinking into her tight pussy to the hilt. Her
muscles quivered and pulsed around him, taking a moment to adjust to the new
intrusion then her body relaxed welcoming him into her depth.“Every time it
just gets better,” he murmured as he began to move. “You feel so good,
sweetling.”

He began thrusting steadily,
driving her wild as he sheathed himself inside her over and over again while
Xavier and Brydan played with her nipples. He moved slowly, allowing for the
intensity to build inside her until she was aching for more. She scratched her
nails down Galan’s back, knowing he loved that bite of pain and was rewarded as
his hips surged against her. Wrapping her legs around his hips, she moaned as
he began pounding into her, relishing in the waves of love coming from all four
of her mates.
