Alien Salvation (13 page)

Her eyes widened in horror to see the
lines of scratches furrowing the alien’s flesh. Had she done
that?

Japohn slapped the side of her left
breast, making it sting. Lindsey arched a little and moaned. “I ask
question, slave. Answer.”

“She senseless still,” Vax laughed.
“Japohn sex good.”

“I’m done, Nobek. Sorry.” She couldn’t
take her eyes off his shoulders.

Japohn glanced at his injuries, and a
slow smile stretched over his face. The behemoth looked proud. “No
apology this. Marks of honor. Good slave.”

He liked it? She wasn’t the only one
with masochistic tendencies then.

Bacoj was also grinning ear to ear.
“Surprise slave conscious. Big pleasure.”

“Give more,” Japohn growled. He
snuggled up into Lindsey as far as he could then sat up straight,
kneeling between her thighs. He jerked his head at his clanmates.
“You help.”

The other two lit up with delight.
“What we do?” Vax asked.

“Bacoj hold arms over head. Vax to
breasts.” The rest of his instructions were in Kalquorian, leaving
Lindsey wondering in a maelstrom of fear and anticipation what they
were about to do to her. Fresh wetness seeped around Japohn’s sex
as she succumbed to their dominance.

Bacoj clasped her bird-boned wrists in
his hands, stretching her long and pinning her to the ground. Vax
used his good hand and mouth on her breasts, alternating gentle
strokes and kisses with stinging slaps, pinches and sharp nips with
his teeth. Lindsey writhed beneath the delightful abuse, completely
helpless to protect the soft orbs. Her vulnerability brought
renewed excitement.

“Now slave,” Japohn growled. “You
obey.”

She shuddered under his dark stare.
“Yes, Nobek.”

“No pleasure until told. Silence and
stop move.”

Could she really hold still under Vax’s
mouth and hand? Lindsey forced herself to lay as motionless as her
uncontrollable trembling allowed. She pressed her lips together to
keep from crying out as the Imdiko captured one tight nipple
between his teeth and stretched the tender flesh to a
point.

She looked up at Bacoj, and the Dramok
frowned. “Close eyes, slave. Keep closed.”

Her eyelids slammed shut before she
could even think about defying him. Something in his voice demanded
immediate obedience.

A feather-light touch brushed her clit,
and she jerked. Japohn’s steel-tinged voice snarled, “Lindsey.”
Biting back needy sobs, she forced herself to relax.

Obey. Obey. That’s all you have to do
in this game. Make their will yours.

The finger again brushed her swollen
nub and Lindsey shuddered but otherwise remained still. In the
darkness behind her closed lids, she felt their exquisite torture
better than ever. With no sight to distract her, Bacoj’s warm but
implacable grip on her wrists was a sweet trap. Vax’s continued
attentions on her breasts made her want to squirm with tormented
pleasure. Japohn still filled her up tight with his twin spears as
he prodded her wet pink pearl with knowing fingertips. She felt her
flesh swollen around his, engorged with prior lovemaking and desire
for more.

Japohn smiled down at the distended
clit, now fully emerged from its hood. He stroked the eager nub,
feeling how the woman beneath him fought to maintain the control
he’d demanded of her. Little Lindsey was such a delightful
surprise. Earthers were supposed to be repressed, even terrified of
sex. But their tiny playmate had turned out to be everything the
sexually dominating Kalquorians liked. Japohn was impressed with
their unexpected find. Tough and no-nonsense, ready to protect her
family, he detected a bit of warrior nature in her soul. Yet her
quick response to his need this morning with no expectation of
having the favor returned had been his first clue that the luscious
Earther might be amiable to submissive pleasures. His clanmates had
agreed the possibility was worth pursuing when he’d privately
spoken to them.

And now here she was, lying on the soft
earth, obeying the three of them as well as her remarkably strong
libido allowed. Japohn was determined to see just how much torment
she could withstand. Judging by the fierce trembling of her body,
she’d be begging for release soon, even though she’d been ordered
to be quiet. Japohn growled deep in his throat. Hearing her plead
for completion would be sweeter than the screams of a dying
Tragoom.

We should clan her. I wonder if Bacoj
and Vax have considered it.

Having such a submissive woman warming
his bed sounded very good to Japohn. Soft and yielding in the
sleeping room; plus intelligent, tough, and equal to him when the
sex was over. If Lindsey wasn’t a perfect mate, she was as close to
it as Japohn was ever likely to find.

He liked her. And he was enough of a
man to admit he might feel even more. It didn’t surprise him to be
instantly attracted enough to consider the lifelong clan
commitment. It had been the same when he’d met Bacoj and
Vax.

He smiled to himself as he continued to
push Lindsey towards breaking her silence.

* * * *

Lindsey felt Bacoj’s warm breath on her
face the instant before he spoke.

“Open your mouth, slave.”

She’d been clenching her teeth together
in the effort to keep quiet. Vax and Japohn’s continued
manipulations were driving her crazy, bringing her to the edge of
rapture, and then backing off to deny the heady fall. She was
afraid of the sounds she’d make if she obeyed Bacoj, but there was
no disputing his order. She parted her lips and hoped for the
best.

Her breaths came with tiny whimpers.
While continuing to hold her wrists in the manacle of one fist, the
Dramok twisted her hair in his other. He pulled gently, tilting her
head back towards him. His cat-scratchy tongue flicked over her
lips and ventured into her mouth where it dipped and
explored.

Vax’s teeth scraped one breast, sending
darts of painful pleasure to her core. It took everything she had
to not thrust towards him for another nip. And what Japohn was
doing to her nether regions … she thought she might go insane from
the teasing touch of his fingertip on her clitoris, from the thick
organs seated so beautifully within her.

The struggle to remain quiet beneath
her tormentors was growing too hard. Mouths, tongues, hands all
over her, a banquet of sensual pleasure that gave no sustenance,
not when just as she neared completion they slowed the feed.
Lindsey had gone beyond aching for release. She thought she’d die
from want of it.

Please let me, please let me, her mind
gibbered as once again she felt pleasure swell within her
overwrought body. Bacoj’s sweeping tongue in her mouth, Vax’s nips
and pinches on her hard nipples, and Japohn’s wet fingertips
swirling around her distended nub brought the sweet dissolution
nearer.

Oh yes. Here it was, close enough to
claim with just one more brush on her clit…

Japohn’s hand left her, as did Vax and
Bacoj’s mouths. Lindsey’s body thrummed with anguish as the men
once more denied her.

Steady. Obey. They won’t torture me
forever.

Will they?

As soon as her breath lost its
whimpering edge, the torment resumed. Lips sealed to hers, tongue
tasting the entirety of her mouth. Another tongue swirling around
the peak of her breast, then teeth closing over the tip while the
rough wet flesh flicked across it. And a calloused finger drawing
circles all around the straining nubbin of eager desire. Heat built
anew, pulsing brighter and brighter, quickly suffusing her. She
trembled, and ecstasy swept near, approaching her at a gallop,
rushing quickly now, almost upon her, oh sweet heavens, here it
was…

They withdrew again.

It. Was. Too. Much.

Her wail came all the way from her
aching core. “Please, please, please, please…” she kept saying the
word over and over until her breath ran out. She drew in another to
continue begging, beyond shame.

“Lindsey.” Japohn’s flat voice stalled
the attempt.

“Yes, Nobek?” She didn’t try to keep
the sob out of her voice.

“You disobey, slave.”

“Please.” She had nothing else to
offer. She was completely at their mercy and they knew it. They
could make her suffer for eternity if they wanted and there wasn’t
a damned thing she could do about it. Desire beat against her with
desperate fists. She’d never known such need.

“Please, Nobek. Please,
master.”

A long pause. Then finally, “Yes,
slave. You have enough.”

Bacoj released her wrists, and she
sensed he and Vax move away as Japohn shifted. His body descended
over hers, cloaking her in his hard heat. She kept her eyes closed
as his mouth seized hers in a demanding kiss.

Japohn drew back and plunged back in,
and Lindsey suddenly found the elusive rapture they’d denied her.
She arched beneath him, crying out over and over as the massive
Kalquorian rode her, sending her into the stratosphere with his
powerful thrusts. She felt him jerk inside her sheath as she milked
him for every precious drop.

Lindsey sighed with deep pleasure in
the aftermath. Still lodged tight within her, Japohn chuckled in
response. He propped himself up on his elbows and looked down on
her with the smile that transformed him from scary to stunning.
“Lindsey good?”

“Lindsey really good now.” She gave his
jaw a mock punch. “You guys were so mean to tease me like
that!”

He grabbed her fist and pressed it to
his lips. “You like. You fun slave.”

“But learn obey,” Vax said. He shook
his head at her and stroked her hair. “You much learn for
submit.”

“She like punish,” Bacoj snickered.
“She no behave so we give discipline.”

“Yeah well, a girl has to have
hobbies.” She stuck her tongue out at them and blew a raspberry.
“Jeez, heaven help me if my parents find out about this. I’ll never
be able to look them in the eye again.”

“This private,” Vax reassured
her.

Japohn nodded. “Strong Lindsey with
others. Our Lindsey when alone.”

Lindsey’s stomach flopped at the
possessive look he gave her then it tumbled a few times over when
she saw identical expressions on the other two. Was she really
their Lindsey now? Had her mother been right about the clan wanting
her on a permanent basis?

Chapter Seven

The first rays of daylight had just
appeared when Japohn stalked into the camp, a decent-sized deer
slung over his shoulder. His proud grin grew as his clan and the
Earthers cheered his success.

“This eat good,” he declared, dropping
the carcass on the ground. Everyone gathered around.

“Well done,” Aaron congratulated him.
The distrustful glares he’d been giving the Kalquorians since
rising disappeared in the face of food.

Vax looked over the deer with
anticipation, prodding and poking it. “Much meat. Skin and
cook.”

Bacoj clapped a hand on the Nobek’s
shoulder. “We help. Eat and leave.”

All three Kalquorians unsheathed long
double-bladed knives from their belts. Tara’s eyes went wide and
Aaron loosed an awed whistle. Lindsey gaped at the serrated
daggers, staring at blades as long as her forearm. She had the
feeling the vicious-looking weapons were rarely used to dress
woodland creatures. No, these were meant for bloody hand-to-hand
combat.

She wondered if Bacoj’s clan had ever
killed other sentient beings. With Japohn, it wasn’t too hard to
imagine. The Nobek wore savagery like a second skin. She thought
Bacoj might also possess the ability to spill blood given the right
situation. When not second-guessing himself, the Dramok was as
focused as a laser. As she watched, he wielded his knife with
assurance, knowing exactly how to slice open the deer’s hide so he
could peel it back from the muscle.

Vax also skinned the animal with ease,
though with his cook’s background, he was probably used to
butchering meat. Still, Lindsey remembered the stern expression Vax
had worn as he dominated her the night before, and she shuddered.
Did this morning’s easygoing Imdiko have a much darker side his
rough sex play had only hinted at?

A low buzz vibrated through the air,
bringing all three men’s heads up to alert. Their nostrils flared
as they scented the air. With a sudden blurring motion, Japohn
raced away from the group, his passage silent. An instant later,
Bacoj followed, his light footfalls barely discernable.

Lindsey exchanged nervous stares with
her parents as Vax left the deer carcass to silence the perimeter
sensors. Armed with terrifying weaponry, inhumanly fast and silent,
the Kalquorians were a frightening surprise this
morning.

And it’s turning me on. Holy Hannah,
I’ve got issues, Lindsey thought, clenching her thighs together in
an effort to slow the juices seeping from her mound.

Vax smiled comfortingly at the silent
Earthers. “I think animal make alarm. No scare. Field stun
trespasser. We protect.” He resumed butchering the deer, unaware
the concern wasn’t about what might be coming from outside the
campsite.
