Alien Overnight (22 page)

She whimpered. Oh, she was so close…

Kellen’s fingers gripped her chin and shook lightly, forcing her eyes open. “What did I tell you to do?”

“Yes, Commander,” she said blankly, shaking all over.

“What did I tell you to do?” he demanded again.

“Finger-fuck myself,” she sobbed.

Her restraints eased at once.

“Then do it.”

Monica rammed her fingers hard into her vagina, her thumb into her nook, and screamed as the orgasm slammed into her with the force of a tidal wave.

“Don’t stop.” Kellen’s voice reached her before the contractions eased. “Fuck yourself to another so we can see just how you like it.”

She couldn’t obey. Boneless from the incredible release, she slumped in the chair and was dismayed to feel tears sliding down her cheeks once more. Jesus, she was so in love with him, he didn’t even have to touch her. He broke her heart into a million 117

aching little pieces every time he looked at her, and he apparently didn’t even know what love was. She was just an object to him, a means to an end.

Get a grip
! she scolded herself. Squaring her shoulders, she managed to stifle the waterworks and glare at him as she pulled her gown down to cover her lap and crossed her arms under her breasts.

“Go fuck yourself,” she said deliberately. “In fact, why don’t you and Shauss go fuck each other, now that we know you can.”

“I wouldn’t push him right now, Monica,” Kellen warned.

“Where is he anyway? I haven’t seen—”

Shauss materialized right beside Kellen, totally naked and looking so pissed, he actually took her breath away. He tossed something onto the bed and then leaned over and grabbed her wrists, grinding out, “I’ll gag her. You fuck her. Now!” as he pulled her to her feet.

Genuinely alarmed, and perversely even more excited, Monica struggled as he lifted her still-crossed arms over her head. The action spun her to face the bed and he marched her forward while she kicked every inch of the way. Expecting to be shoved facedown and taken from behind, she was surprised when he picked her up by the wrists and flipped her over the big mattress like a sheet, depositing her on her back with her head at the foot of the bed.

“Here.”

Kellen handed Shauss what looked like a rubber ball with straps attached to it.

What the hell
?

Shauss’ grin made her blood run hot and cold. “It’s a ball gag,” he informed her.

“Open wide.”

She bit her lips mutinously.

“I think she wants you to spank her pussy again,” Kellen murmured.

Damn it
! She opened her mouth and took the gag, looking back and forth between the two men, her pulse pounding as Shauss fastened the straps behind her head.

“Why am I not surprised that you possess such a thing?”

“The internet is a wondrous thing,” Shauss said, his tone dripping with satisfaction.

“I could have used a neural gag, but this is so much more provocative.”

Oh, she was liking this too much! It was just sick and wrong, and she
enjoyed
it…

Shauss’ hair brushed her face as he leaned over to pull her nightgown off, and she whimpered with need.

Then the mattress sagged by her hip.

“Hold her down,” Kellen ordered.

Shauss immediately pinned her wrists to the bed and Monica jumped at the feel of Kellen’s hot hands on the insides of her thighs, prying them wide. He climbed between 118

them and knelt there, gazing down at her with a kingly expression that made her want to smack him. His sudden grin said he’d read her mind.

“Normally I prefer a good fight, but this is fun, too.” He ran his palms up her rib cage and cupped her heaving breasts, squeezing and molding them and watching her face all the while. He pushed them together and made a low sound of regret. “They’re not soft enough to fuck yet. That’s something I’d really like to try.”

“Wait a year or two,” Shauss told him.

Monica’s eyelids fluttered and closed as Kellen leaned down and took one stiff nipple into his mouth. They flew open again immediately when the light sucking was accompanied by a similar drawing at her other breast. It was a devastating double assault and she bucked wildly as it intensified, grunting and whining against Shauss’

furry chest.

She screamed into the gag when, still suckling, Kellen bowed his back and shoved into her. She was wet, but still narrow and tender enough that his thick penis felt like a rough-hewn log. The scream faded to a whimper as he held there, jammed deep inside her body, murmuring words of praise and encouragement between long pulls at her breast.

Shauss’ hands rubbed up and down the undersides of her arms, which now hung limply over the foot of the bed. Then the rough edges of his teeth scissored over her nipple. Her vaginal muscles clamped down hard as she screamed again. Oh shit—when had she become a masochist? He did it again and she stiffened, panicked. He was hurting her good enough to make her come.

“What
are
you doing to her?” Kellen moaned with a short laugh.

“Biting her.”

“Hmm…” Then his teeth joined in the delicious torture of her nipples.

The raging orgasm fired every nerve in her body at once, and Kellen groaned and shuddered, pulling out and plowing back in through contractions so hard, they curled her shoulders up off the bed. Both men drew away from her breasts, but she couldn’t stop coming, couldn’t stop screaming as he rode her roughly, and the muffled sound, the feel of saliva slipping down her cheeks from the gag, only drove her higher.

Monica thought she might pass out when his spur started slamming home. And then the weirdest thing happened—it was like she suddenly only existed on this isolated plane, bound to him, taken by him,
owned
by him. There was no touch but that of his body pounding hers, no sound but that of his broken groans, no sight but that of his face rising above her, hard and flushed and determined. His lips drew back in a grimace of need, and then he was shouting her name…

Oh yeah. She was liking the gag more every minute. She could say anything she wanted and not have to worry that he would actually hear it.
I love you so much

She was barely conscious when he climbed off her.

The rasp of a hard, furred chest lowering onto hers made her eyes snap open and suddenly she was looking into the black eyes of Lieutenant Shauss as his cock slid into her slick, aching vagina.

“
This
is how
I
like you,” he rumbled. “Soft and wet and spent.” He leaned down and nipped at her earlobe as he pulled out and eased back in. “Weak and helpless and unable to keep me from doing anything I like with your delectable body.”

Feeling fuzzy and totally brainless, Monica sighed and slid her fingers into his hair, combing through it with immense pleasure. The disgruntlement she felt when he pulled out and propped himself up on one arm quickly vanished when he took his penis in hand and stroked the head over her sensitized pubis. Up and down he went, and up and down, and down, and down…

“Mmfff!”

Monica’s eyes were the size of Rimberian ice coins.

His might be, as well. He couldn’t believe the man would actually…

Shauss
,
what are you about now
?

“She fucked my ass, so I’m going to fuck hers.”

With your spur
.

“With my cock. I want to watch her face.”

Kellen stiffened as Monica began to struggle.
I said
master
her
,
Shauss
,
not torture her
.

When Shauss’ mouth opened, he barked, “You’re frightening her. Use the cerecom, and that’s an order, Lieutenant.”

Shauss reared back onto his heels and stared, his eyes slits in his stony face. Monica scrambled over the side of the bed and knelt beside it, plucking urgently at the straps behind her head.

So much for not commanding me in the mating chamber
.

Monica is ours to protect
,
Shauss
. Protect!
If I have to pull rank to protect her from you
,

then I will
.

I have no intention of hurting her

Monica slammed the gag down on the mattress. “Goddamn it, you two! Quit

talking about me when I can’t hear you.”

“My apologies,” Kellen said at once. She fairly bristled with annoyance. “I was just making it clear to Lieutenant Shauss that—”

“His word is law in the mating chamber,” Shauss finished angrily, pushing off the mattress. “He believes that I would harm you, which shows just how little he truly knows or respects me.”

When had this bond spun so dangerously out of his control? “Shauss—”

“I knew sharing a mate would never work for me.” He bent and grabbed his suit, then looked at Monica. “I wish you well, sweet one.”

When he flared out, it felt as though an Aptormian ape had settled onto Kellen’s chest. He blinked repeatedly, trying to make sense of Shauss’ departure, of the pain that was swelling under his breastbone.

“Kellen, what just happened?”

She looked as stricken as he felt.

“I wish I knew.” Unfortunately, he
did
know. He held out his hand and she took it, shaking her hair out of her face as she rose. The rightness of her delicate fingers in his stole the breath from him. It also made the loss of Shauss that much more wrenching.

And loss, it was. He obviously intended to annul his claim to Monica, and the thought was almost unbearable. Peserin, but when had his heart gotten so entangled with these two who were his to protect?

At the touch of her hand on his jaw, Kellen focused on Monica. She was looking at him with concern. “He doesn’t mean it, does he?”

“He doubtless does.”

Her lips flattened. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to come between you.”

“Come between
us
?” Kellen’s laugh was short and bitter. Life’s ironies just got sharper with every passing day. He planted a kiss on her forehead and started pulling on his clothes. “I’d say we did a fine job of that without any help from you, little Terran.

I’ll have to find him and see what I can do to salvage something of our friendship.”

“But didn’t he leave because I acted—”

“It had nothing to do with you, Monica.” Kellen stepped into his boots, then straightened and ran his hand into her tangled mane. Cupping the back of her head, he pulled her close and dropped another kiss on her forehead, pleased that she seemed unaware of her nudity. The fact that she was, indeed,
his
was the only comfort he could find in the moment. “He’s probably right about being unable to share a mate. Any mate.

I don’t know that I’d be any more content in second position.”

He sighed heavily and zipped up. “Which means I’ll have to be careful to look for a submissive nature in my next second. Go ahead and clean up. I’ll return later.”

“For the last time, you fucking no-good piece of alien offal,” Monica screamed hoarsely, “open this goddamned door and
let me out
!”

“Egress denied.”

“Aaaaah!” She pounded her fists on the door yet again, knowing it was futile, but needing to work off more of her aggression. She’d already tried to batter her way out with that heavy sculpture and been zapped with some sort of energy beam for her trouble. Her hair still stood on end from the shock, waving like a wheat field in the summer breeze. The thing lay where she’d dropped it, unbroken despite the rough treatment. Must be made of some tough stuff. “Connect me to Commander Kellen then, cyber-bitch, or I’ll have your hard drive on a platter!”

“Unable to comply.”

“Oh, for God’s sake!” She stomped across the room, trying to smooth her hair once again. “Why can’t you let me talk to him for just a few seconds?”

“Voice contact requires the authorization of Commander Kellen.”

“He is
so
dead,” Monica spat as she paced. “I am going to kill him myself. I’m going to take this ugly piece of dirty marble and shove it right up his ass and watch it fry him into a fucking chicken nug— Ow!”

The white field sprang up so suddenly, she ran right into it with her forehead.
Oh
,

no way
…

“I was joking, you stupid bucket of doorknobs!”

“All threats to Garathani citizens result in immediate confinement until Council security convenes an investigation.”

“And how long will that be?”

“Unable to estimate.”

“Well, hell.” Monica gave one last growl of frustration, rubbing her forehead, which was still buzzing. No doubt her hair looked even more special now. The bubble enveloped her completely. Not even the floor was visible beneath her feet, which made her leery of sitting down. That was all she needed now—a mega-jolt to the ass. Thank God she’d dressed, boots and all, before pitching her fit. Sighing, she braced her feet apart and crossed her arms, prepared for a long wait. Kellen had to come back sooner or later.

I
’
ll have to be more careful to look for a submissive nature in my next second
.

The man had no idea what kind of hell she wanted to put him through for uttering those words. And that was nothing compared to what she wanted to do to him for flaring out before she could squeeze a single syllable from her frozen vocal cords.
His
next second
,
my ass
! Who the hell did he think he was?

The field dissolved to reveal Minister Cecine, minus the ceremonial robes. His stance mirrored hers.

“So you’re the level four threat to our commander’s security?” Though he cocked an eyebrow, his expression was forbidding.
