Harvest: A Dark Sci-Fi Reverse Harem Romance

by Piper Stone

  “I’m fine. Being human doesn’t make me frail in any regard,” Felicity said under her breath. The warm blush creeping along her cheeks was a good indication that she knew she was already in trouble.

  “How is she really?” I asked as I closed the distance, towering over Felicity and inhaling her sweet scent.

  “She’s fine. There is no permanent damage, although she needs to rest.” The assistant was flustered, obviously not used to the sarcasm.

  “Is she well enough to come to our quarters?” I asked again as I rubbed my thumb down Felicity’s face. I expected her to flinch, but she gazed into my eyes, hers sparkling in a manner I hadn’t seen before. Still the warrior. Still the aggravating human. But I could never want another.

  The assistant grabbed her Glick, her fingers flying over the screen. “All her vitals are very good. I think she might actually do better under your control. That is if you’re able to. Humans are such troublemaking creatures.”

  Kodroth burst into laughter as the assistant walked away. “Yes, they are.”

  “I’m not a troublemaker. I’m just... Angry. I’m angry, okay?” Felicity huffed, stamping her bare foot on the tile floor.

  “I suggest we make certain she completely understands her place.” Degan’s voice was filled with amusement.

  “Very good point.” I clipped the leash onto her collar, fingering the contraption wrapped around her neck for a few minutes. “I’m glad you’re safe.”

  “Are you going to tell me what happened?” she asked, fear creeping into her eyes.

  “Come and we’ll talk, at least for a few minutes.” I allowed her to keep on her hospital gown as we walked the halls, but she was able to ascertain that other humans were not treated as fairly. The new recruits from the feasting contests were all being herded together, taken to various quarters located on the ship. They would be groomed in order to meet their new masters. Several were paraded by, all without the benefit of hiding behind clothing.

  I could see how the situation affected Felicity, her usual defiant demeanor reduced to trying to hide behind me, crowding closer to the wall. I also heard her scattered breathing, slight whimpers as she huddled with her arms over her chest. Every girl in the system studied the collar surrounding Felicity’s neck, no doubt concerned that this would be their requirement.

  When we were almost to our quarters, she moved into the middle of the hallway, every part of her body quivering.

  “What’s wrong, Felicity?” I asked, gently placing my hand on the small of her back. She’d been through quite an ordeal and I think she knew she was lucky to be alive. “Talk to me.”

  “I remembered being in the camp with the bastards,” she whispered. “The ones who gave me the brand. I was hunting and got lost. Then this man was so kind to me, saying he’d help. But that was a lie. He fooled me. Fucker.”

  “What camp?” Kodroth asked.

  “The humans. I’d forgotten the majority of the details, but I remember just how many women they’d already captured. We were all being... branded. I’d heard so many times how they were better than the Centurions and that the aliens were the true monsters.” She gave me a guarded look. “I don’t know what to believe any longer. They were cruel. Heartless. Arrogant.”

  “Do you know what Zayn looks like?” I was curious given no one had ever provided an adequate description.

  She shook her head. “I can see everything about him but his face. I know the tattoo covering his neck. A dragon. I know what he smells like, the rancid and disgusting stench of blood and death. I even remember his laugh, pure evil, but I’ve never been able to remember what he looks like.” Her body quivered, her breath skipping.

  I gave both Kodroth and Degan a glance. The horror that she endured must have been terrible. The fact she was remembered meant something had triggered the dark memory. Maybe it was better for her if she didn’t remember the monster.

  “He wanted to hurt me, but I know there was more,” she whispered then snapped her head in my direction. “I want to trust you, all of you. I just...” Her words died off.

  “Felicity, what I said to you before is the truth. We need humans as much as you need us. Our kind will die without children. We want nothing more than to live in peace, enjoying life just as you have always wanted for you and your family.” I tried to keep my words as soothing as possible. If the bastard was still alive, there was no place in the galaxy he would be able to hide from my wrath.

  “Will I ever see them again?” Her question was almost inaudible. “My family, I mean.”

  “In time.”

  “And those girls?” Her arm shaking, she pointed down the now almost empty hallway.

  Kodroth took her hand, rubbing her fingers. “They will be trained much like you, but I assure you that when they reach Skars, they will love their new homes and masters. We are not heartless creatures, Felicity, no matter what you think.”

  “Even if they’re still prisoners,” she stated then half laughed. “Then again, who isn’t a prisoner at this point?” She walked straight to the door, pulling on the leash.

  I was taken aback, but there was little more that I could do but keep her safe. She was correct. We were all prisoners of our needs, succumbing to the politics of our two governments, at least to a point. The hunter and the hunted. Which was which?

  She was led inside and as soon as I removed the leash, I pointed to the ugly gown she was wearing. “You know the rules. Remove the gown.”

  “But...” A frown crossed her face.

  “No buts, except for the one getting spanked later. You were wearing clothes when I found you. Very human clothes, I might add.” Degan could barely keep the amusement from his voice.

  Her brow furrowed, but she obeyed, her head held high as she slipped out of the shapeless gown. I still sensed her strong resolve, her words haunting. She seemed resigned, but I knew the little tiger would continue to roar. Breaking her would quite possibly be necessary.

  The scent of her drove me wild, my cravings reaching the boiling point. I advanced, rubbing my fingers across her pursed lips, the slight growl pushing up from my diaphragm indicating exactly what I wanted.

  Her lower lip quivered even as her nipples hardened to the rosy peaks that I enjoyed sucking.

  I immediately slipped my fingers into her wetness, pleased when her hips bucked forward. “You’re aroused, even hungry for us. Aren’t you, little human?”

  “I...” Batting her eyelashes, she glanced down at my feet. Her timid attitude seemed like such an act.

  “Answer your master, Felicity,” Degan ordered.

  “Yes,” she muttered, embarrassment riding along her jawline. “Very.”

  The feel of her wetness slickening my fingers made my balls tighten, my cock swelling with burning desire. It was as if the night of pure sin had been weeks ago. I longed to be inside of her again, filling her with my seed. I was curious to learn more about her memory, but that would come later, when she was settled into her new surroundings.

  Right now, there was much more training to accomplish before we arrived on Skars, extensive training. I certainly didn’t want the fact Earth warriors had been allowed to enter the contest to be questioned. The High Council could make a switch at any time. Their rules. Their call.

  The fuckers.

  “Is she wet, hungry for us?” Degan asked, a huskiness to his voice.

  “Very,” I answered as I thumbed her clit, rolling the tip around and around until she reached out for me, gripping my arm.

  “Mmm...” Her eyelids were half closed, and she was purring as she jutted her hips forward.

  “Such a bad girl you are.” My entire vision was clouded, only able to see her. Her perky tits and rosy pink pussy lips peeking out. They were swollen with need.

  Taking a deep whiff, the scent of her feminine wiles filled my nostrils, elongating my aching cock. She was very aroused, even more so than before, her nipples fully erect and longer than I’d remembered. I allowed my finge
rs to toy with her opening, darting in and out as I curled them. Hunching forward, moisture appeared on her upper lip.

  “Yes... Yes, sir,” Felicity managed.

  I sensed the other two moving closer. My private time with her would be short lived.

  “I can tell you want to come,” I whispered, plunging deep inside.

  She was bucking, her nails digging into my skin. “Yes. Yes!”

  Removing my fingers, I dragged them across her mouth. “You will always be wet for us, Felicity.”

  Her eyes seemed completely unable to focus and she licked at my fingers, sliding the tip up and down one finger then another. I was mesmerized as she cleaned every drop. Fuck, I wanted to drill into her for hours.

  “Turn around and open your ass cheeks,” Kodroth instructed.

  The only indication of her tenacity was the single quiver in the corner of her mouth. She obeyed, turning and bending over to be inspected. I was honestly surprised she’d kept the plug in after learning about the fire. She was learning her place, albeit very slowly.

  Kodroth twisted the plug in aimless semi-circles, his breathing ragged. After rubbing his hand over his groin, he patted her ass. “Good girl.” He removed the thick rubber, replacing the invasion with two of his fingers. “Tell me the truth. You like being fucked in the ass. Don’t you?”

  “Um...” Her hesitation was followed by four hard smacks against her ass. The way redness bloomed on her bottom was fucking hot.

  “Answer,” Degan instructed as he filled her pussy with four fingers, taking his time as he plunged in and out.

  “Yes. God, yes, sirs.” She half laughed as she lolled her head. I adored the embarrassment sliding up her face. My mouth was dry with anticipation, every muscle drum tight. Even my thighs were quaking, barely able to contain myself.

  They continued pumping into her sweet pussy and asshole, ravaging her holes as a reminder that she belonged to us. By the time we were finished, our little human would be sore and sated.

  Kodroth dragged his fingers down the length of her arm as he stepped away then stroked his hand up and down the length of his groin. “Hurry, Voltar. You know I have no patience.”

  Degan smacked her ass again, sighing as he walked toward the window. “Kodroth is right.”

  Her entire body shaking, she mewed, her eyes open wide and her fists clenched by her side. “What now, masters?”

  “On your knees,” I directed, pushing her down by the shoulders. “Open your mouth.” When Felicity hesitated, I gripped her jaw, clenching with just enough pressure she whimpered, finally opening her mouth. I unzipped my pants, pulling out my already erect cock and rubbing the tip around her lips. “You will never hesitate when given an order. Is that clear?”

  “Yes, sir.” The light in her eyes had dulled somewhat, her fierceness dissipating, replaced by raw pleasure. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth as wide as possible.

  I fisted her hair, intertwining my fingers in her long red strands. The feel was like spun silk, creating pulsing in my balls. I was far too hungry to waste any time, shoving a good portion of my cock into her mouth. I was so damn hard, my aching shaft more like heated metal than human flesh. She had such an effect on me, driving my need to fuck her liked a crazed animal into my consciousness. This was her power over all of us and while she was the pet, a human meant to be trained, it was not insubstantial. I almost laughed at the realization. Who was training who?

  “Keep your eyes open, little pet. I want you to completely understand who you belong to.” My words made her moan, even over the thick invasion.

  Her chest rising and falling, she did as she was told. The mist in her eyes drew me in, gnawing at my gut. She gagged at first, her throat constricted but I continued coaxing, pushing in an inch at a time until she was forced to relax. I knew she didn’t want to accept her willingness, but I also sensed her growing desire, could tell she wanted to taste my cum. I would give her what she craved.

  Jutting my hips forward, I slid the remainder of my shaft inside, until my balls hovered just below her chin. I loved the warmth as her mouth coddled my cock, her voluptuous lips wrapping around my shaft as if it were a piece of candy. She kept her hands at her sides, her eyes never leaving mine as she sucked and swirled her tongue around in luxurious circles.

  I was immediately pitched into the kind of dark yearning that I hadn’t expressed to her yet, sliding my other hand to grip the back of her neck. As I thrust in and out, listening to her breathing as she sucked me, I was dragged into a sweet moment where nothing else existed. I wanted nothing more than to drain every drop into her throat. Inhaling her sweet scent, I continued face fucking her in a brutal manner, driving my cock in and out over and over again. My legs were tense, but not nearly as much as my balls. They ached with need, anguish rushing into them until they were more swollen than they’d ever been.

  I’d already claimed her, mating her as required, but I still wanted more. She was mine. My possession, my prize, and my conquest. I would never get enough of her. Tossing back my head, I continued my aggressive actions and even though I was forcing her to submit, I sensed her growing need, her longing to please me. She would gleefully call me master, her actions becoming unbridled.

  I heard the growling sounds erupting from my pursed lips, the growl indicating nothing more than a beast in heat. Closing my eyes, I continued pumping into her until my balls screamed in anguish. My head filled with visions of the past and concepts for the future and I wanted her belly rounded, full of child. Startled, I almost pulled away completely, but my body had needs of its own.

  This was too good, more than I’d ever anticipated.

  Her mouth.

  Her pussy.

  Her asshole.

  They were all mine.

  Seconds later, I erupted, pumping frantically as my grip on her hair and neck tightened. I was the crazed man taking her. I was her owner. “Fuck!” The roar echoed in our quarters, bouncing off the walls.

  When my cock stopped twitching, only then did I pull away, wiping sweat from my brow.

  Felicity slid her tongue in a circle, snagging the remnants from around her mouth, the move much more provocative than before. The woman wanted more.

  “Our turn,” Degan said in a greedy manner.

  “She is primed and ready.” I laughed softly as I pulled my pants into position, zipping before allowing her to rise to her feet. “You did very well.”

  “Thank you, master.”

  Degan inched closer, running his fingers around her breast in languishing motions. “Would you like to come, little human?”

  “Yes, sir. Please, sir.” She licked her lips, her eyes brighter than before.

  “I suggest you go and stand in the corner while we decide if you’re going to be allowed.” Degan pointed to one of the walls, giving her an authoritative look.

  She grumbled but did as she was told. I couldn’t help but notice how she wiggled her ass as she walked, finally planting her nose as close to the corner as possible.

  I pulled the other two to the side, darting my gaze in her direction more than once. I certainly didn’t want her hearing anything I had to say.

  “You have something on your mind,” Kodroth said under his breath.

  I nodded. “I don’t believe that Zayn was killed.”

  “Meaning?” Degan asked the question, but he certainly didn’t seem shocked by my admission.

  “He’s under the impression that the Demon has supernatural powers and will never be stopped from trying to capture Felicity,” Kodroth chortled.

  “What if that’s actually true?” Degan seemed more shaken than before.

  “No human has supernatural powers. That’s a myth, but I will find out if he has some unknown connection to our kind.” I was more determined than ever. “I’ll be back. I need a few words with the great commander.”

  Degan snapped his hand around my arm, leaning in closer. “Be careful, Voltar. Commander Futan is close personal friends with my fat
her.”

  When Degan arrived, I would have taken his words as a threat. And now? The warning was succinct enough and a good one. “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Just take care of Felicity while I’m gone.”

  I waved my hand over the console, holding my breath as the door opened. I stood in the doorway, glancing at the three of them. We were now a family. The vision of her would forever burn in my mind.

  As I took long strides down the hallway, I knew the potential sanctions I was facing. No one in my position questioned the government.

  But I would secure the truth.

  Chapter Fourteen

  Felicity

  Something was off. I could sense Voltar’s tenseness even from where I was standing. The connection we shared created electric vibes that had nothing to do with desire. I knew he was angry as well as concerned. Why had he left? I wanted to call out to him, begging him to stay, but as he’d done so many times before, he’d shut down. Now, all business. Did this have anything to do with the fire? That must be it.

  I remembered very little after Degan forced his way into the locked quarters, shielding me from the intense flames. I’d heard yelling as well as the sounds of metal bending and plaster falling. It had been difficult to breathe. Then there’d been the sweet smell of the forest and fresh air. There were people everywhere, but my mind had remained foggy. After that, I’d simply fallen into blackness.

  And I hadn’t lied. I didn’t remember the bastard’s face, but the dream had rocked me to the very core. My mind had covered up so much of the experience for so long. Now I couldn’t stop his laughter from ringing in my ears. Even the words he’d whispered to me as he’d lowered his head only seconds before issuing the command to brand me.

  “Forever mine.”

  It had been a miracle I’d been able to get away, but I’d watched them for several days and learned their habits. They were little more than drunken beasts at night, succumbing to the liquor. The bone I’d managed to hide, a fragment from one of their hunts, had allowed me to slice through the thick layers of rope.
