Raines, Elizabeth - Covert [Wicked Missions 7] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (3 page)

Shit, Will and Tanner were cute. They were obviously every bit as sexually attracted to her as she was to them, judging from their constant leers, their less than subtle comments, and the tents they were pitching in their jumpsuits. Why didn’t they all simply give in, fuck their brains out, and get their minds back on the mission? “I’d rather resolve this stupid
comchi
. Can’t we just…fuck it away?” She caught the quick intake of breath by both men and figured that telling response said they were on board with her plan.

Leveling a hard stare at Tanner and then Will, Alayna set the ground rules. “Look, it’s just this once. Doesn’t mean anything.
Got it?
We’ve just got to resolve this stupid hormonal…
thing
. That’s all.”

“You are wrong.” Betinsa had folded her arms over her baby bump again. “Dead wrong.”

“You’re Fraiquan, not human,” Alayna insisted. “Maybe you just don’t understand us.”

“Oh, but I understand you very well. Both of my husbands are human. I have a unique view of your species, just as you are getting a unique view of mine.”

“It’s just rut,” Will remarked, ignoring Betinsa’s announcement. “Like animals in season. Right?”

She shook her head. “This is
so
much more than hormonal.”

“What do you mean?” Tanner asked. Alayna had quickly learned he was the doubting Thomas of her new partners. “More than hormonal? What’s that mean?”

“This is not simply about sex,” she replied. “It’s a…mating…a coming together of three people in way that I cannot truly express in words.”

“But if it’s about
mating
, then won’t our…mating fix it and make it stop?” Alayna was in misery, physically and mentally. Never in her life had she been so ruled by her body. Everything inside her screamed to go to Tanner and Will, to make love to them until the three of them were too tired to move. It had been just about forever since she’d been laid, and even though they were now blue from head to foot, her new partners were still easy on the eyes.

Now she was lying to herself. They weren’t simply easy on the eyes—they were, in her estimation, the most handsome males in the whole fucking universe. Everything about them appealed to her, calling to her body and her mind. A little voice in her head said her heart might be in danger as well, but at that moment she didn’t give a shit. They could have that too, as long as they quenched the fire burning inside her.

Her tongue ran across the small fangs growing from her canine teeth as she stared at Will, loving the heated look he gave her in response. She shifted her gaze to Tanner, and his eyes widened as his growl matched her own.

Crawling up on the table, Alayna stalked him like a cat. She’d barely begun to slink toward him when Betinsa’s hand came down hard on the table, having the same effect as an ice cold shower.
For pity’s sake!
She’d been ready to drag Tanner up on the table and fuck him right there in front of Betinsa.

Perhaps menopause or
compassa
or whatever the hell it was would be a better choice. “Sorry.” She eased off the table and dropped into a chair, her face heating in embarrassment.

Betinsa’s gaze moved from Tanner to Will to settle on Alayna. “This is a choice only the three of you can make. You are in…uncharted territory.”

“Meaning?” Tanner asked.

“To Fraiquans, the
comchi
means the three have taken each other as lifemates. After they come together sexually, they go through a ceremony called a joining, and they are linked for the rest of their lives.”

“But we’re not Fraiquan,” Will said.

“Precisely,” Betinsa replied. “Which means this mating
might
have less significance for the three of you. Perhaps it is, as you say, simply about hormones since you aren’t fully genetically Fraiquan. While you are undercover, you can simply act out the joining custom.” She gave them an exaggerated shrug. “I have no way to knowing the extent of how completing the
comchi
will affect all of you emotionally.”

“What you’re saying,” Tanner said, “is that if we give in to this and”—he glanced to Alayna—“have sex, it might mean we’re fine? That this craving will just go away?”

Betinsa nodded. “However—”

“Then let’s do it.” Will sounded as enthusiastic as a new soldier being sent on his first mission.

Alayna was every bit as ready, but she was trying to use more neurons and less hormones. “She didn’t say it
would
go away. She said it
might
go away. She also said we
might
be making a lifetime commitment.” Alayna was having a hard time wrapping her mind around that, probably because she might have a Fraiquan body, but her brain was still human. Human beings didn’t mate for life whenever they fucked. They just…fucked. Sure, some of her genetics might be Fraiquan now, but that was temporary. This stupid
comchi
thing had to be temporary too. “I don’t know…”

“I should leave you three to discuss this,” Betinsa said, gathering up her e-tablet and sliding it into her briefcase. “It is nearly time for supper anyway, and you three need some bonding time.” She smiled again, probably thinking about the kind of…bonding the three of them would be doing tonight.

That erotic notion sent a rush of heat straight to Alayna’s pussy, making her squirm in need. And why did those stupid fangs seem to pop out every time she thought about Tanner or Will touching her? A quick glance to Will’s open mouth showed the same fangs. A shiver of excitement ran through her body at the thought of the sexual pleasure those fangs could give her breasts and her cunt.

No doubt about it—she was going to fuck Will and Tanner tonight or else her destination was Masturbation City. A nice place to visit, but she wouldn’t want to live there.

“I will see you all in the morning.” And on that, Betinsa left them alone in the classroom, the loud swish of the mechanical door echoing through the room like the peal of a church bell.

Alayna looked to Will and then to Tanner. “Why don’t we go back to my room and…talk about this
comchi
thing?”

Chapter 3

The door slid shut behind Alayna, and she took a few deep, steadying breaths. All that tack did was increase her awareness of the two men who were now standing in her quarters. Their masculine scents whirled around her, dragging her down in an ocean of desire like a relentless undertow. Tanner and Will were close enough to her bed she could drag them over there and simply give in to the overwhelming attraction between the three of them.

That purr in her throat started again when her gaze caught Will’s, and behind those dark-blue eyes, she saw the lighter blue they’d been before the transformation. In her mind’s eye, the black hair brushing his shoulders was blond again, and his skin was tan, not ethereal blue. Would she ever stop seeing them as they were and get used to them being Fraiquan?

Staring at the men, she wondered why they hesitated to make a move to initiate sex. She’d made it crystal clear back in the classroom that she was ready to take their relationship to a sexual level, if only to relieve them all from this burning frustration that made it next to impossible to concentrate on what they should be learning to make this undercover mission a success.

“Alayna,” Tanner said, taking a step closer but not reaching out to touch her, “I think you’re gonna have to call the shots here.”

Cocking her head, she pictured that strawberry blond who’d made her smile back when they’d met. “Why do I get the choice? This involves all three of us.”

Will shrugged. “I suppose, but you’re the woman. Aren’t we supposed to be deferring to you now? I mean…isn’t that what Fraiquan men are supposed to do?”

“If you weren’t Fraiquan, what would you do?” She asked the question as she moved close enough to lay a palm against each of their chests. A jolt like lightning ripped down each arm, sending heat to her pussy and causing a surprised gasp to escape her lips.

“I’d throw you on the bed and fuck you senseless.” He smiled at her, his white teeth so in contrast to his tinted skin.

Sliding her palm up his firm chest, she tickled his neck before tangling her fingers in his coarse hair. “Who’s stopping you?”

A growl sounded, drawing her to glance at Tanner. His hand covered hers, dragging it down slowly over his rock-hard abdomen, drawing closer to the stiff cock she saw pressing against the front of his jumpsuit. The movement was so maddeningly slow, she almost jerked her hand out of his grasp to hurry the process, needing to feel the evidence of his desire for her. The anticipation might be delightful, but she was past teasing. She licked her lips, causing him to growl again. “Say you want us, Alayna. You have to say you want us.”

She decided to taunt them, loving being in charge. Perhaps the Fraiquans had the right idea in letting the women take the lead in everything. Her whole life had seemed like nothing but giving in to things guys wanted, as if their egos would never allow them to defer to a woman. Having two incredibly sexy men—regardless of whether they were human or Fraiquan—at her beck and call was intoxicating. “I don’t know…perhaps.”

Tanner pressed her hand to his stiff dick. She could feel the heat of him through the cotton of his jumpsuit. “Perhaps? That’s all? Perhaps?” He pushed his cock against her palm.

Alayna smiled, taking her hands away. Her first instinct was to strip out of her jumpsuit, order them out of theirs, and get down to business. But her humanity nagged at her. “Are you both sure you want this? According to Betinsa, there might be no turning back.”

Will was already nodding while Tanner seemed to think it over a few seconds longer. “You know, it might not be…forever,” he finally said. “When we change back, who knows what we’ll feel? Right now, I want you so badly I’m not sure I care about the consequences.” He heaved a sigh hard enough to part her hair.

“We don’t know what this could mean.” She nibbled on her lower lip. The thought of walking away from them now was agonizing. Everything inside her screamed to get closer, to make love to these men until all three of them were too exhausted to lift a single finger. But she owed them a choice. If Betinsa was correct, once they came together, there could be no separating them. The three would be…
joined
, for want of a better word. “I don’t even know either of you well.”

Will shrugged. “In Earth’s history, it wasn’t at all unusual to have marriages arranged. The bride and groom—”

“
Grooms
, in this case,” Alayna couldn’t help but point out.

“Fine.
Grooms
. Sometimes they didn’t meet until the actual wedding.”

She quirked an eyebrow. “Are you saying you’re willing to commit to me and to Tanner for the rest of our lives?”

“We don’t know that’s what will happen. Maybe we’ll feel that way while we’re Fraiquan, but who knows what’ll happen after they switch us back to who we really are. Even if we got married while we’re altered, divorces happen every day.”

“
If
they can switch us back.” Tanner’s words were a stark reminder of how scary this whole genetic engineering could be. “Look, maybe we’re kinda putting the cart before the horse here, worrying about changing back when that’s months and months away. All I know is that I want you, Alayna.” He glanced over at Will with a vulnerable smile. “And we already talked about us.”

With a nod, Will smiled. “We did, didn’t we?”

Alayna felt left out of some inside joke. “What does that mean?”

“Tanner and I were already getting…close.”

“You’re lovers?” How in the hell she’d found the courage to ask was beyond her, but she needed to know.

Both men shook their heads. “We’d considered it,” Will finally replied. “It was probably gonna happen. Eventually. It’s just now, things have changed.”

“Why?”

“Because of you,” Tanner said, reaching for her hand. “Now, we’ve got to consider how this affects you, and we’re waiting to follow your lead.”

Her ego loved hearing that. Since her chosen profession involved so many more men than women, she’d been conditioned to have to fight to simply get ahead, let alone to try to lead men who seemed to always consider themselves superior. “So whatever I decide, you’ll go along with it?”

They nodded.

Alayna’s pussy clenched as her fluids suddenly soaked her panties, her sexual need blending with the newfound power she felt coursing through her. Being in charge was a strong aphrodisiac. “Then if I say strip out of those jumpsuits and get in that bed, you’ll do it without any complaints?”

Again, two nods. Will actually reached for his zipper, although he didn’t drag it down. Instead, he looked at her, his smoldering eyes full of anticipation.
