Hide to Stay Alive (Club Release 1) (20 page)

Din Zar’s teal and silver
eyes start to glow lightly as he looks into my eyes. “I agree with
my brother as do the other warriors of Zaphin. Only people like you
deserve to be protected.”

Another big chunk of my
heart tears free and floats over to him. If he keeps this up, he’ll
soon be the sole owner of my heart. When he leans down, I eagerly
accept his kiss. As our tongues caress each other’s the world
narrows until it’s just the two of us.

He growls lightly and
moves me so that I’m facing him with my legs straddling his. I feel
his erection pressing into the junction of my thighs. My body goes
into sex mode. My hips roll as I grind into his hard erection.
Pleasure surges through me. His hands grip my ass as his lips kiss
a trail down my neck. I shiver and drive my little pearl harder
against his steely cock.

The need to be ridden by
him is stoking a great fire in my core. I clutch his powerful
shoulders and grind into him. “Can we go somewhere
private?”

“
This is not a club for
privacy. It’s a club for passion, little seema.”

Din Zar’s words bring my
need down to a simmer. I don’t know if I can strip naked and make
love to him here. Fear that he’ll force me too courses through
me.

He inhales close to my
neck and then nips my skin. “Don’t be afraid, seema. You can trust
me. What are you—”

“
Can I speak with you, Din
Zar?”

I stiffen as I realize the
man behind me may be getting an eyeful of my ass. I reach back and
tug on my skirt. Relief washes over me when I find that the
shimmery material is just long enough to cover my
behind.

Din Zar blows out a breath
and then stands. He settles me into the chair and then gives me a
soft kiss. “Stay here, we’ll talk when I’m finished talking to Din
Tairin.”

I watch him walk away with
a heavy heart. Embarrassment keeps me from looking at Din Tairin.
Even if he didn’t see my ass, he did see me humping his
friend.

I shift in the chair and
realize how soft the foamy cushioning is. Touching it, I marvel at
how it molds to me. The cushion’s texture is like nothing I’ve ever
seen—smooth instead of porous. It seamlessly adheres to the stone
chair. Interesting, just like the rest of this planet.

Picking up my glass, I
take a drink and welcome the warming feeling I get. More people are
starting to fill this area up. I get a little nervous when I notice
that several of the males are watching me.

Before I can ask Din Von
about them, a male dressed much like Din Zar, and his friends—in
all black fitted clothing and ass kicking boots—walks up and starts
talking to Din Von. A second later, he looks at me. “I’ll be back
in a minute. Stay put.”

As he walks away, I frown
at his commanding tone. Why do these males have to be so
dominating? A vision of Pretty Eyes dominating me sexually flashes
through my mind. The pulse between my legs lights up causing me to
squirm in my seat.

Zaphinian domination is
not such a bad thing
, I admit to myself. I
look through the crowd as best I can. Where’s my
dominant?

I don’t see him but I do
see a purple male licking his lips as he looks me over. I look away
only to see an orange male staring at me as though I’m a meal. I
swallow hard as a lump forms in my throat.

Megan and Gayle were
dragged off by beings that had sniffed them and licked their lips
and stared hungrily at them. Panic crawls over my nerves. I look
around for my male or Din Von. When I don’t see either of them I
start to freak out. I feel as though everyone is watching
me—hungrily watching me.

Balling my hands into
fists, I slide from my chair and dash through the crowd. My world
narrows as I look for a place to hide. When a hand lands on my
shoulder I barely contain a scream. I shrug the hand off and dodge
around being after being until I see a door.

I press the knob and when
the door opens, I leap inside. Finding a small dark corner, I sink
down into it and become as still as I can. With my face pressed
into my knees, I close my eyes and breathe the words that I’ve been
taught to live by.

CHAPTER

~ Zar ~

♥

I frown when I don’t see
Hallie where I left her. Von is standing near a corner table
talking to an unhappy looking petrokian. The pink skinned beings
can be a bit trying at times. Especially, if they haven’t been
pleasured in a few hours.

Moving to our table, I
inhale deeply.

Zyf! The scent of her fear
lingers in the air. Since I just satisfied her last night, I can
easily follow my marking scent. Right now, I’m glad zaphinian seed
marks its lovers with a special scent that lasts for several
days.

With her being so
skittish, I need to come in her regularly. That thought has my cock
jumping to attention. To calm the beast between my legs, I take
another deep breath. Her fear and marked pussy are stronger than
all of the other beings scents in the room.

I weave in and out of
people until I come to the supply closet. This is just the kind of
place Hallie Mead would hide. I open the door and step inside. Her
scent penetrates every pore of my body.

Her whispered words carry
over to me, “Hide to stay alive.”

Even though I feel sorry
for her, I can’t show weakness. “Seema, come out and tell me why
you are in here hiding instead of sitting at the table I told you
to stay at.”

I hide a smile when she
rushes out of her corner and wraps her arms around my
waist
. She
disobeyed you,
the warrior in me
sternly says in a harsh tone. I know it and I’m sad about it. Her
lack of trust in me can’t be overlooked.

With my arms around her, I
breathe in her relief. I’m happy and sad all at the same time. I
grip her shoulders and push her back a step. Looking down into her
big brown eyes, I command, “Tell me what happened.”

Hallie looks over her
shoulder as though she’s looking for the enemy. Her gaze comes back
to mine and she whispers, “After you left, Din Von got called away.
I looked around and saw a couple of beings watching me. One was
licking his lips and the other one had a hungry look in his eyes. I
thought about how those beings had looked when they’d taken Megan
and Gayle.” She looks over her shoulder again and then back up at
me. “They had the same look.” She takes a shuddering breath. “I
don’t want anyone to eat me.”

My heart melts. She’s so
zyfing adorable. “Nobody here would eat you in that way.” My tongue
waters at the thought of eating her sweet pussy. Now is not the
time though. “Was there any other reason you felt the need to
hide?”

Small white teeth come out
and nibble on the edge of her lower lip. “You’re not going to make
me get naked in front of everyone, are you? I don’t want to be
naked in front of all those people.”

Interesting. “You get
naked at home,” I prod. I’m curious to see how she’ll
respond.

Pink brightens her cheeks.
“That’s different. We’re lovers,” she says as if I should have
known that.

I hold back a laugh.
“What’s your definition of lovers?”

Now her cheeks are red.
She snorts out a frustrated noise. “Lovers make love. Regular horny
people fuck. We make love.” Her full lips press together and lines
form between her brows. Worry scents the air around her. “You’re
not just fucking me, are you?”

A strange sensation fills
my chest as I’m hit over the head with the realization that she’s
right. I don’t just fuck her. I’m not sure what we have but it’s
not normal. The strong need to reassure her swells in my
chest.

“
No, seema. I’m not just
fucking you. You’re special to me. Special enough that I can’t let
you openly get away with not trusting me. I can work with you not
being naked in the club, for now at least. What I can’t tolerate is
a seema who doesn’t do what she’s told.” I take the cuffs out of my
pocket and slap one end around her delicate wrist and then slap the
other around my own wrist.

Confusion and worry scent
the air coming from her. “I don’t understand. I trust you. You have
to believe me.”

I cup her chin and wait
for her chocolate gaze to look into my eyes. “I believe you trust
me as long as I’m with you. But, your actions when I left you alone
for a few minutes proves that you don’t trust my instincts or my
knowledge of the people that come to my club.” I pause for a moment
to let my words sink in. “For that, you will be
punished.”

“
I’m sorry. I should have
trusted you,” she says in a high pitched voice.

“
You’re not sorry yet, but
you will be. I can’t have a seema that doesn’t totally trust me.
Come, it’s time for your punishment to begin.” Her fear ruins the
air. I can’t let her know how sorry I am that she’s put me in this
position. I lead her out of the closet and back to our
seat.

I sit down and pull her
onto my lap.

“
You don’t have to punish
me. I promise to trust you from here on out, Din Zar.” Her eyes
plead just as strongly as her tone.

“
Since you’ve shown your
lack of trust in me so openly, I must punish you just as openly.” I
change my tone to force her submissive side into obeying. “Spread
your legs,” I order in my roughest commanderly tone.

She jerks in my arms and
then slowly spreads her thighs enough for me to slide my hand up
her skirt. With one hand on her breast and the other between her
legs, I caress her until the smell of her arousal coats the
air.

Von comes over and sits in
his chair. He sniffs and raises a brow at me. “Punishment
time?”

“
How did he know,” Hallie
whispers.

“
You know I can hear you,
right?” Von questions Hallie.

Her cheeks turn even
redder. “No. Well I knew you could hear good but I didn’t know how
good.”

“
Well I can. Zaphinians
have great hearing.” Von’s silver gaze roams over Hallie and then
returns to her eyes. “I know you’re in trouble for not trusting Din
Zar. I can smell both of your emotions.” Von’s eyes glow lightly.
“You forced his hand, little seema, and now you have to
pay.”

“
Pay how?”

The quiver in her voice
attracts the predator in me. “You’ll see soon enough, seema,” I
promise her.

As more warriors come and
sit at our table, I continue to stroke her lovely body until her
arousal is so strong several people at tables near us start
fucking. When Hallie arches and moans, I know it’s time to finish
this.

“
You’re all invited to
watch my seema be disciplined.” I set her on her feet and steady
her when her knees wobble. When she’s secure, I lead her to the
Punishment Room that’s in another section of the club. The others
from our table stand outside the wide opening that leads into the
room and watch as I guide her to the bed. I remove the cuff from my
wrist and leave the other attached to hers.

“
Crawl to the center of the
bed and stay on your hands and knees, seema,” I command in a harsh
tone that gets her moving.

Once she’s there, she
looks toward the rooms opening and flinches when she sees everyone
watching her. “Can’t we do this in private?”

“
No, you openly disobeyed
me. Now you will openly be disciplined.” Needing to save her some
embarrassment, I order, “Look straight ahead and stay on your hands
and knees the whole time.”

Pride in her fills my
chest as she looks toward the wall and stays nice and still. I can
just make out her pretty pink pussy lips from here. I climb onto
the bed and flip her skirt over her ass. She jerks and trembles
slightly. Embarrassment and a touch of fear mingle with her
arousal. Good, I want her to remember this.

I grab her hips and lower
my face to her exposed pussy. As I lick her wet slit, I breathe in
her scent. Nothing smells better than her pussy. I poke and prod
her pink entrance with my tongue. I don’t stop until she moans.
Upping her punishment, I start licking her clit in light strokes.
She tries to press back into my face. I slap her ass and hold her
firmly as I continue to torment her.

When I feel she’s close to
coming, I move on to the next phase. I flip her skirt down so
she’ll feel less exposed than she really is. In this position her
skirt rides high enough for everyone to see her pretty
pussy.
