She held up a hand again as Trey tried to speak.
“Let me get one thing very clear. I had every intention of asking Jordan for help to track down as many of the women who’d been forced into slavery as I could find. G’baena would’ve been the first because I actually know where she is.” She started to pace back and forth as her anger ignited. They were still standing there looking like they were dragging her into this, when in actual fact, they were the reason she was safe here and now. She, like so many of the other human females on this ship, owed them her life and her gratitude.
“Regardless of her relationship to you or your relationship with me, I would’ve tried to help her. Are we clear on that?
I
…
need to
…
help her.”
Tee-ani’s Pirates

Ben recovered first. Trey seemed intent on taking the blame for everything, but Ben obviously realized that this was one argument he and Trey were not going to win. He stepped forward and lifted her into his arms, heading for the hallway without a single word. He kissed her fiercely as he walked her down the passageway and into their cabin.
Trey followed and was there to steady her as Ben put her back on her now-wobbly legs, and they both helped to strip her clothing away.
Trey turned her in his arms and kissed her like he wanted to completely inhale her, as if to make her a part of himself.
Warm hands traveled all over her naked body, inflaming her senses. She whimpered as calloused fingers plucked at her nipples at the same time as a hand pressed into her dripping pussy. They were both so intense, the emotions in the room so heightened, that she felt herself on the verge of orgasm just from their simple touch.
Ben lifted her into his arms and carefully placed her in the middle of one of the beds in the small cabin. Trey lay down beside her and pulled her into his arms, his tongue tracing the seam of her lips at the same time that Ben moved onto the bed behind her. Warm hands massaged the globes of her ass as Ben arranged her over his taut frame. He held her ass open, exposing the dark puckered hole to Trey’s gaze, a groan escaping him as he pressed a finger against her sensitive flesh.
“Tee, I need you. I need to bury myself in your tight ass while my brother fucks you hard.” He hesitated a second before continuing.
“
G’bani
, we need to claim you. We won’t break the skin, but, baby, we need to know you’re ours. We need to show you our love and know that you love us in return.”
The way he said it, the tone of his voice, the anguish she could feel coming from both of them, left her wanting to please them, needing to give them all of her love that’d grown in the last couple of months.
She looked down at Ben and then over her shoulder at Trey.

“I love you both. Please make love to me.”
Their movements were clumsy, awkward, like they needed her more than their next breath. Hands and lips touched her everywhere, her body theirs to command as they once again lifted her to new heights of ecstasy.
Ben slid lower, captured a nipple in his mouth, flicking the hardened nub with his tongue. Trey dipped his fingers into her wet pussy, gathering the slippery fluid and rubbing it against her anus. She gasped as he pressed a finger into the forbidden hole, stretching and caressing the tight flesh. A second finger pressed into her, the sting quickly overtaken by the intense burst of pleasure that radiated to her clit.
Ben slid back up her body, his cock thrusting into her dripping pussy, his harsh breathing bathing the skin of her neck. He grabbed her hips, held her still as he drove up into her swollen, slippery flesh again and again. Trey pressed three fingers into her ass, pumping in time with his brother as Tee-ani’s orgasm began to break. She screamed as her muscles clamped down on them both, liquid heat drenching her as she shook in frantic release.
Trey’s fingers withdrew and he quickly replaced them with the head of his cock. She felt her muscles spasming, trying to deny his entrance, but he pressed forward, his moan echoing her own as he pushed past the tight ring of muscle and slid into her hot passage.
Both men stopped moving. They held her still, both sucking at her neck, careful not to break the skin as they marked her as theirs. She felt their need, their desperation to hold on to her, so she relaxed and held them both tight inside her body.
Slowly, Trey started to move. He pulled his cock almost completely out of her ass before thrusting back in. Ben mirrored his movements, thrusting deeper and then retreating as his brother did the opposite. The rhythm quickened, the sharp slapping sounds of flesh against flesh filling the room as their need took hold.

Both men held her hips, held her still for their possession, pounding into her harder and faster. Her breath caught as she realized how close she was to orgasm a split second before her body erupted in movement. Unable to control her reaction, Tee-ani held on to Ben, burying her face in his shoulder as she tried to stifle her scream.
Harder and faster, faster and harder, they pounded into her. She shook, barely able to breath, as she felt them both swell and then pulse their seed deep into her body. Both men gasped for breath as Tee-ani fought to stay conscious.
A gentle hand smoothed the tears from her cheeks as she tried to rein in her own overpowering emotions.
“Tee?” Ben’s quiet voice made her open her eyes. “Did we hurt you, baby?”
“No,” she said quietly as she laid her head on his chest and snuggled closer.
“I don’t want to live without you, Tee. Please reconsider going after G’baena.” She levered herself up slightly so that she could look over her shoulder at Trey. He looked pale, his eyes red rimmed and sad looking.
She wiggled a little, trying to sit up before she realized they were both still buried deeply in her body. Ben’s arms wrapped around her, holding her tight against him as his cock became harder and he pushed deeper into her pussy. Trey did the same, pressing his thickening cock into and out of her ass several times.
“We want you safe,” Ben growled as he pumped into her pussy again.
“You want me safe?” she gasped as pleasure began to spiral through her again. “But, what about you two? Are you willing to leave G’baena to her fate while you stand back and stay safe?”
“It’s not the same.” Trey growled his protest as he lost control and pounded into her ass over and over. Ben held her cradled against his chest as his brother fucked her. Liquid fire coursed through her as Trey thrust into her again and again. Trey’s breathing sounded

labored, his groans guttural, animalistic, and then she felt his cock jump as he released his seed inside her. He fell forward, his weight pinning her against Ben as he opened his mouth and grazed his teeth where her neck met her shoulder. She thought he was going to bite her again, permanently mark her as his—and in that moment, she would’ve let him. She sensed his need, his fear for her, and suddenly belonging to him and Ben felt right. They loved her, they’d protect her, and she loved and would protect them in return.
But he closed his mouth and pulled free of her ass as he rolled onto the bed.
“Ben.” Just a single word, but the emotion behind it was devastating. Almost immediately, Ben began moving into her, his hand pushing between them, seeking her clit as he drove her into a frenzy. Her entire body caught fire as he relentlessly pushed her up and over the edge of orgasm, pounding into her as he pulled her down onto him.
She had but a moment to realize that Trey had left the room before her world fractured and her orgasm claimed her, her muscles popping and jumping as Ben shot his cum deep inside her. She fell forward, exhausted, but tried to lift herself away so that she could find Trey.
Ben held her still, his rough fingers soothing against her spine.
She tried again, but he held her tighter and spoke into her ear, his voice deep and tightly controlled.
“Give him a moment.” He continued to soothe her with his hands and gentle kisses, holding her safe, making her feel loved and cherished. “Sleep, Tee. It’ll all work out, I promise. He just needs some time.”
Tee-ani nodded her head against his chest, trying to fight the lethargy stealing through her, but to no avail.

She found him in the gym. Trey looked exhausted and if Tee-ani had to guess, she’d say he’d been working out the entire three hours he’d been gone. She’d fallen asleep in Ben’s arms, but had woken feeling edgy and anxious. Ben had taken one look at her face, kissed her forehead, and whispered the words she needed to hear, “Go to him.
He needs you.”
She’d been so anxious to get to Trey, she’d almost left the room completely naked. Ben’s sexy smile and quiet words had reminded her that dressing would be a good idea and then he’d suggested she begin her search in the cargo bay currently set up as a workout and training area.
Uncertain of her welcome, Tee-ani stepped into the cavernous room and glanced around the area. Thankfully, they were alone.
“Trey?” Hell, was that really her voice? So soft and weak and unsure. She tried again, but before she could force the words past her rapidly tightening throat, he looked up. God, the anguish written on his face had her running straight into his arms. He pulled her close, pressed her face against his sweaty chest, and rocked her back and forth.
It took a moment for Tee-ani to realize that he was mumbling
“I’m sorry,” over and over. She pushed both palms against his chest, trying to ease away from him, but he tightened his hold, so she ended up squirming and thrashing in his arms until he let go. He stepped back, but he wouldn’t look at her.
“Trey?” she asked again. “Trey, I need you to explain to me why you are so upset.”

His head shot up then, his gaze pinning hers, as a cross between a sob and a laugh escaped him.
“Why are you even talking to me?” The words were angry, but she somehow realized he was angry with himself, not her. She stepped forward and reached up to place her palm against the side of his face.
“Trey, I need you to explain it to me. Why did you leave?”
He stepped forward to haul her back into his arms, but she took a step back and raised her hand in protest. Dammit, she wanted an answer. If he thought incredible sex gave him the right to tell her what she could and couldn’t do, well, he could think again. He just stood there looking as confused as she felt.
“Trey! I am going to rescue G’baena with or without your help.
Are we clear on that?” She fisted both hands on her hips, adrenaline coursing through her at the thought that he would try to stop her. Well they weren’t on G’trobia. She was an independent human female, and there was no fucking way was she going to start acting like anything less now.
“You think this is about rescuing G’baena?”
She froze at his soft words. What the hell? Okay, now she was more confused than ever. If it wasn’t about the rescue mission, then what the hell was it about? She couldn’t decide whether to nod or shake her head. If she’d thought she had a clue, well, she sure knew better now. Not only didn’t she understand his behavior, she couldn’t even begin to understand her own.
Her legs trembled, her arms aching to wrap around him, and she had the insane urge to kneel at his feet and promise to obey him. What the fuck?
Her own reactions pissed her off more than anything and suddenly her control snapped. “Enough of this crap! If you won’t explain it to me, then you can go to hell. I love you and I thought you loved me, too, but there is no way I will ever be anything less than who I am.

And, if you can’t accept me for me, then we have nothing to talk about.”
She turned on her heel, determined to escape the room before she burst into tears. Even now, her throat ached with the emotions threatening to choke her. Strong arms grabbed her from behind and she fought against Trey’s hold, even as she weakened in her resolve.
“
G’bani…
Tee, stop. Please stop.”
She stilled, trying to stay angry, trying to stay strong against the fear of losing him. How could she love someone who couldn’t—
wouldn’t—let her be herself?
“Tee, I am so sorry. I love everything about you—especially your independence. I would never ask you to act differently, to be someone you’re not.”
“Then why all this?” She swung her arm out, indicating the gym area. “Why run from me earlier?”
“I’m sorry,
g’bani
. I never meant to hurt you. I almost claimed you again.” He closed his eyes quickly, but not before she saw the sheen of unshed tears. “Tee, I wanted to mark you, permanently scar you, even knowing that it was the last thing you wanted. I’m more angry at myself than I can ever explain.” He ran his hands through his hair in agitation. “And I’m angry at the situation, at the possibility that I might lose you, that I might not be able to protect you. I’m not angry at you.
G’bani
, I love you.”
“Trey.” She took a deep breath, trying to sift through her emotions so that she could say the words he needed to hear. “I love you and I love that you want to protect me, but it goes both ways.” She urged his face down so that she could look directly into his eyes. “I’m scared of losing you and Ben, too. I’d rather none of us risk our lives, but we have to. We need to get G’baena to safety. None of us are capable of just walking away and living our lives. We need to do this.”

Goddess, he loved this woman. She was the exact opposite of everything he’d grown up believing about females. She was smart, intelligent, fast to love, slow to anger, and he couldn’t imagine a future without her. The very fact that he was willing to let her walk into danger to save G’baena was the thing that made his temper boil.
He’d grown
knowing
that women were to be protected,
knowing
that it was his responsibility as a male to make sure that females were sheltered and cherished and provided for. He’d never even entertained the idea that a woman could not only take care of herself, but fight alongside him, until he’d met Sarah and Tee-ani and the other human women on this ship. He hadn’t even realized it was possible. He pulled Tee-ani tighter into his arms as he dipped his head to slowly kiss those beautiful lips.
