A Hero’s Welcome (12 page)

“Why did the slaves revolt in the first place?”

She ran a teasing finger over his stomach and Joe couldn’t help but to suck in a heated breath.

“Ah, that’s a long story. But the short of it is a Yellow Hair broke the law and decided to educate a male she favored in the brothel. He in turn educated the other males in secret. The slaves then decided they didn’t want to serve the females anymore, they wanted it to be the other way around. They took the town and they fucked many of the free females…fortunately the women were able to fight back and regained the hub.”

A shiver of fear ripped up Joe’s spine. “What happened to you? Did they…?”

“I was lucky to have not been visiting the brothel town at the time. I was unharmed.”

“So, what happened to everyone? The slaves? And the female who started everything.”

“Most of the educated males were executed by the Yellow Hairs. The rest escaped, including the female and her male. But the female was eventually captured. She is in the prison. She’s had one male child already.”

His body tensed at the thought of the women he’d seen hooked up to the fucking machines. Most hadn’t wanted the experience but once they’d been hooked to it, the agonizing ecstasy had changed their minds.

As if sensing she was losing him, Annie’s scorching finger dipped into his belly button.

Damned if that didn’t turn him on hotter than an inferno. He
couldn
’
t help but to reach out and take her into his arms, cradling her soft body against him.

She giggled mischievously and he realized this had been her plan all along. To get him aroused.

“Don’
t you ever get tired?” He laughed.

“When I see you naked, I want to make love to you.”

Joe grinned as he heard almost the exact words he
’
d said to her earlier.

“I’
ve
been using my imagination about these positions you were talking about. I want you to take me from the rear,” she whispered against his neck.

Her words incited an aching desire deep in his gut.

Burying his nose into her silky hair, he inhaled the earthy scent of her. The woman was heaven sent. She wanted sex all the time. As if he were a chunk of sweet candy she
couldn
’
t get enough of.

“From behind it is,” he agreed.

Eagerly she broke their embrace and kneeled on all fours, sticking her beautifully rounded ass up in the air toward him.

He
didn
’
t waste any time placing his legs inside hers and grabbing her soft hips with his hands. Her body was hot beneath him and she trembled with excitement. Holding her steady he slowly entered her and watched in stunned fascination as his thick pulsing penis disappeared into her hot wet cavern.

Her vaginal walls pulsed around his flesh and he clamped his jaws shut to keep from groaning out loud at her wonderful tightness. Before he could start thrusting, she closed her legs, increasing the pressure and thus escalating the pleasure on his hard erection. Then she began to move her pelvis back and forth in slow motion.

Red hot lightning zipped along his shaft and slammed into his gut. This time he
couldn
’
t stop the moans escaping his mouth.

Leaning over, he palmed her soft breasts in his hands and began massaging her tight nipples and pulling on the rings. He smiled at her sharp exhalations as he pushed her breasts together, kneading them until she whimpered for mercy.

Blood pumped furiously through his veins as she kept up the slow sensual thrusts of her pelvis against him. Fighting the crazy need to spill his seed inside her
cunt
, he focused on pleasing Annie.

He increased the massaging on her mounds and grinned in satisfaction as they swelled in his hands. Her thighs tightened, sending another volley of raw lightning up his shaft.

He arched his hips against her and she bucked under his onslaught. He could hear her panting. Heavy and hard.

Savage pleasure ravaged his cock as he ground into her heat. Incredible pleasure spilled over his senses and his heart twisted with something he’d never experienced before. Something wild and wonderful. It urged him to ram his stiff cock deeper into her.

He fucked her with long drawn-out strokes until her
cunt
muscles began to contract around his stiff rod. Until she threw her head back and cried out for mercy. He ignored her and kept up the torturous strokes. He
’
d make sure she enjoyed this new sexual position. Make sure she enjoyed it a lot.

Fire burned his body as he watched himself withdraw. His cock throbbed in the fresh air. Lust encouraged him to spear himself back into her slick insides. Her soft satin hole tightened around him, sucking him into her snug warmth.

Setting up a torturous rhythm of his own, it
didn
’
t take long before her muscles convulsed around his hard shaft. Beneath his hands her swollen breasts heaved frantically as she sucked in gasps of air. Her body began to shudder as an orgasm drew near. But he
didn
’
t want her to come yet. He
’
d make her wait. Make her teeter at the edge for just a little bit longer.

He continued to buck against her body. Fucking her harder yet not hard enough to make her come. He continued his thrusts and at the same time one hand left her breast, dipping between her legs.

She groaned wildly and her legs trembled as his fingers slid against her clit ring. He pinched and massaged her luscious nether lips. They swelled beneath his onslaught. He could smell her sexy arousal permeate the air. It urged him on.

Slamming his engorged cock back inside her, he scraped a nail over her pulsing pleasure bud. She screamed. Moisture dripped from her hot
cunt
. He withdrew and shoved himself inside her again. Scraping his nail gently back and forth until she thrust her hips backward at him, a clear indication she was ready to come. And he was damn ready too.

Her throaty moan ripped through the silence as his fingers slammed roughly against her burning flesh. Massaging her vigorously, it
didn
’
t take long before she came apart. Humbled that he could bring such pleasure to her, he watched in amazement as her body shivered violently and her erotic screams rent the air around them.

Feeling his own completion nearing, Joe clenched his teeth and rammed harder into her heat. A moment later he joined her screams with hoarse cries of his own as the intense pleasure washed over him and he emptied his seed into her.

Annie watched as one by one the circling vultures disappeared from the bright afternoon sky. It meant only one thing. The hunt camp was now free and she could lead him there so he could pick up the trail that would eventually lead him back to his own kind.

Thinking about him being reunited with his own people should have made her happy. It
didn
’
t. As a matter of fact fear, raw and ugly, rolled inside her. Fear that he would leave her. Fear that she would never see him again.

At this very moment she was curled safely in Joe
’
s powerful arms, lying on the soft warmth of the moss-covered rock. Safe from danger. But not safe from her fears.

She
didn
’
t want to wake him.
Didn
’
t want them to head for the camp. Most of all she
didn
’
t want him to leave her. He
’
d made no mention of where he would take her. No mention that he wanted anything more than sex from her. Not that there could be anything more. According to their laws, women could only take women as mates. Males were not mate material. Yet deep in her heart, there was an unexplained urge to make Joe her mate.

Perhaps the seeds had been sown when they
’
d held hands yesterday. Joe had explained males and women walked side by side. Lived together. Unbelievable. She would have to ask him more about the part of the world he came from. Up until now she
hadn
’
t had a chance. They
’
d been running from the women of the hub and from each other. Using all their free time to have sex. Perhaps it was a way to not face the truth of her situation. The truth being if he decided he didn’t want her after all there would be no more strong arms curling around her body making her feel safe. Worst of all there would be no more lovemaking.

She
’
d been thinking about Joe throughout the night and throughout today. Up until now she
’
d managed to keep a handle on her emotions. After all, he was just a male. He
shouldn
’
t even be affecting her emotions. Unfortunately he was. He
’
d been the only male that had made her come apart. Mentally and physically. He was unbelievable in the way he aroused her. It was more than just great sex. There was something strong and deep in the way she felt about him. She
couldn
’
t explain it. All she could say was she
’
d never felt this way about a male before.

And there was something in his eyes too. Something in the way he looked at her. No other male slave had looked at her with such strong emotion. Yet again, she
couldn
’
t put a name to that emotion.

Annie sighed in frustration and snuggled against his warmth. A new urgency swept over her. She needed to find a way to make him want her. Or at the very least take her with him to wherever he came from. The thought of never seeing him again was unacceptable. Deep in her heart she knew something inside her would die if they parted.

Chapter Fifteen

Joe Hero grimaced as he stepped onto another sharp rock that littered the shoreline of the river.

A good long soak in a hot tub is what he needed. Something to soothe away all the pains that invaded his body. Or better yet another round of hot and heavy sex with Annie. At least having sex would keep his muscles loosened up and his mind off what he should do about her.

His heart quickened as he watched her naked ass sway seductively in front of him. Resisting the urge to cup those luscious smooth ass cheeks he forced himself to remember the strange way she
’
d looked at him after one of their lovemaking sessions earlier. Something in the way she
’
d smiled at him had tugged at his heartstrings. Had made him feel lost and confused. Her look was a direct contrast to the delicious torture her body had freely given him as he
’
d plunged inside her hot cavern.

The way they had kissed afterward. Hot, intense kisses that had led to some more lovemaking until they
’
d finally fallen asleep wrapped in each other
’
s arms.

“It was the Yellow Hairs, just like I thought.” Annie said as they climbed up the low embankment and walked into the vulture-laden meadow.

Joe
’
s stomach heaved as he passed the skeletal remains of a human. The thought that this body could be one of his brothers almost brought him to his knees until he spotted the thatch of brown hair on the skeleton
’
s skull.

He sighed in relief. Not the same color as either of his brother
’
s hair. And definitely not their size. From this person
’
s thin frame he had most likely been a teenager.

“The Yellow Hairs don’
t leave many scraps behind,” Annie said from ahead of him. “But they
’
ll
be back for the bones in a couple of days when the vultures have picked them clean.”

“Too lazy to do it themselves?” he joked. Although laughter was the furthest thing from his mind, he had the obscene feeling he just might go nuts thinking about what would have happened if a
herdful
of cannibal blondes had captured him. Suddenly he got the feeling what he’
d gone through with the Sperm Bank was just a walk in the park compared to what happened to this poor fellow.

The sight of the skeleton only made the urge to get back to the spaceship that much more insistent. He needed to find his brothers. Needed to get the hell off this planet.

“Let’
s grab that secret stash of grub and find the trail, shall we?”

“It’
ll
be getting dark soon. We should make camp here,” Annie said.

“The last thing on my mind is to sleep with a corpse, Annie.”

She twisted around and looked at him oddly. “Is this the first time you
’
ve
seen a dead body?”

“I’
ve
seen plenty of dead bodies, just not ones torn apart by cannibal women. How about you look for the food and I
’
ll
see if I can pick up the trail? Which way to the sea?”

She nodded to the east.

“Okay, I’
ll
look for the trail and scout around for a good place to camp, away from the corpse.”

Annie nodded and headed toward the far side of the clearing.

Joe scanned the clearing for the trail. If he played his cards right, by this time tomorrow night he
’
d be reunited with his brothers and the last few days would be history.

He
couldn
’
t help but grin as he imagined their faces when they saw Annie. He
’
d have to do something about covering her body too. His brothers
hadn
’
t been with a woman since they
’
d started out on this voyage. They might be so damn horny, it would be downright painful if they saw a naked woman.

Oh man! A beautiful woman would be the last thing they
’
d expect him to bring home.

As he surveyed the surrounding bushes, he caught a glimpse of cloth.
