Gladiator: A Rough Sci-Fi Romance Page 27

  There were no words to say when I threw open the door, expecting nothing but a darkened hallway. The man standing only inches away took my breath, his incredible musky scent more intoxicating than ever before.

  “Took you long enough, little human,” he said, his grin more like a Cheshire cat. “I send you a taste of paradise and you almost decide to ignore me.”

  “It seems you’ve forgotten that I’m not your sweetheart or your princess. I’m not even your little human. And I’ll do what I want. If I decide to ignore you then that’s what I’m going to do.”

  Xander gazed down the length of me before pushing me inside, yanking the jacket out of my hand and tossing it just seconds before he slammed the door. “You don’t say.”

  “That’s what I know for certain,” I said, backing up several feet.

  “What if we’re just on some kind of crazy drug, you know, the kind that turns us into primal beasts and nothing more?” he asked, the same gaze turning combustible as he licked his lips, his chest rising and falling.

  “Since I’m in charge, I’ll make certain we keep taking that drug,” I managed, defying him in every manner.

  “That’s where you’re wrong, sweetheart.”

  “I’m never wrong, buster.”

  “Buster now? Interesting.” He cocked his head, taking a deep whiff before jerking me against his massive chest. “You are wrong, and do you want to know why?”

  I smacked my hands against his chest, wrapping my fingers around his suede shirt, forced to take several deep breaths. “Yeah, if you have the balls to tell me.” I was hot and wet all over, my pussy leaking into my panties, my nipples aching for his touch.

  His mouth.

  His rough fingers.

  I needed to feel his cock buried deep inside, his hand smacking my bottom as he told me all the things I’d done wrong. I was wild with anticipation, my heart racing.

  The expression on his face changed, becoming entirely dominating and sexy as hell. “Because you belong to me and you will always do as I say. Day. Or. Night.”

  As he crushed his mouth over mine, he fisted my hair, tangling his fingers in my long strands. I was pulled onto my tiptoes, every cell in my body bursting from the roaring fire shared between us, the intense electricity.

  And it was all very real.

  The hunger.

  The need.

  The desire.

  He was the only man for me, rugged and handsome in every manner, dark and dangerous. He was the sun and moon, my bright star.

  And he was all mine.

  The kiss became a manic roar, our tongues entwining, our bodies meshing together. The taste of him was all male: scotch and a hint of peppermint.

  He slid his hand down my back, cupping my buttocks and squeezing, managing to lift me off my feet. I clung to him as he carried me, somehow knowing exactly where the bedroom was, my bed the only item that wasn’t in disarray.

  Xander eased me onto my feet, growling as he broke the kiss. His breathing heavy, he cupped both sides of my face. “God, I’ve wanted you. Every inch of you.”

  “Are you certain?”

  “My beautiful little human, there never was any drug. It was just another lie. What we felt was real and damn any man or woman who ever attempts to take you away from me again.”

  “What about your home?” I dared to ask.

  His eyes changed colors from the brightest flash of gold to the deepest shade of turquoise. “Anywhere you are is my home.”

  His words were like bottle rockets going off in my mind, the last shell I’d placed around me forever shattered.

  I wanted him.

  God, I loved him.

  I tore at his shirt, fumbling in order to unfasten a single button.

  Chuckling darkly, he took a step back, ripping the material over his shoulders. He was nothing more than a predator as he reached for me, nearly tearing my clothes in an effort to remove them.

  There was no time to waste, our hunger unbridled, more savage than ever before. Everything about this moment was perfect.

  When we were both completely naked, he stood a few inches away, his gaze ripe with longing. Even with only the light of the moon lifting above the horizon, I was able to bask in his magnificent body, every muscle carved to perfection. Just as I’d remembered. Just as I’d fantasized about. I danced my fingers up and down his chest as he issued a series of husky sounds, all guttural, another reminder that I was his.

  To own.

  To discipline.

  To keep...

  He grasped the back of my neck, once again pulling me close, lowering his head until he was able to swirl the tip of his tongue around my nipple. When he bit down, I released a series of moans, clinging to his shoulders in an effort to remain on my feet.

  His mouth was on fire, his tongue raspy as he repeated the move before sliding his lips across to my other breast. The pain and pleasure were perfect, creating stars floating in front of my eyes.

  When he dragged his lips up along the side of my neck, allowing his hot breath to cascade across my skin, I trembled, my legs quivering.

  “Have you been a bad little girl, sweetheart?”

  “Never,” I whispered, laughing softly afterwards.

  “Why don’t I believe you?” He eased his hand down my spine, using two fingers to slide up and down the crack of my ass.

  “I’m very good.”

  His laugh was roughhewn, elongated. Then he thumped down on the bed, yanking me over his lap. He wasted no time, using the palm of his hand to deliver several hard smacks, one coming after the other.

  I moaned, even whimpering like the bad little girl he assumed me to be, all the while pussy juice trickled against his leg. I ground my hips, almost crazed from the feel of his throbbing cock pushing hard against my stomach.

  “Oh, yes, you are very naughty,” he huffed, peppering my ass with several additional smacks, moving from one side to the other. “You’ve needed a spanking.”

  “Never.”

  “I think you know better.” He caressed my already heated skin, rolling the tips of his fingers in circle after circle. “Now, since I’m in charge, you’re going to receive a spanking every day.”

  “That’s not fair!”

  “Who said life was fair, little human?”

  I adored the sound of his voice, the way the deep baritone penetrated into my ears, the sweetest music on Earth.

  Earth.

  My home, a beautiful place in which to live.

  Now my heart was filled with joy and the kind of love that I never knew existed.

  As he issued a series of almost brutal slaps, the pain becoming a slice of raw anguish, I took several shallow breaths. No longer was I the scared little girl with no purpose in life. I was a fighter just like my hero. We’d been through hell and back and no one was going to come between us.

  He would protect me just as he’d done before.

  Thor, my gladiator.

  “I think you’ve learned your lesson for tonight,” he mused.

  Somehow, I had the distinct feeling that additional lessons would come later. Why was I tingling with excitement at the thought?

  He cradled me into his arms, hugging me tightly until tossing me in the middle of the bed. As he crawled on top, hovering over me, I realized that I would surrender to him.

  Body and soul.

  The thought was freeing, another wave of vibrant electricity searing every nerve ending.

  Xander shifted his legs between mine, lowering down and rubbing his cock back and forth. The tease was almost too much to take. “Mine.”

  “Yes.”

  “The woman I love.”

  I shuddered as he dragged his tongue around my lips, releasing low-slung growls. He was my mate, a true beast.

  And an honorable man.

  As he slid his cock past my swollen folds, I raked my nails down his back. The feel of him, so thick and so hard, was even more scintillating than I remembered, creating a wave of heat e
ncasing my entire body.

  The moment he began to thrust in and out, taking exactly what he wanted, I tipped my head to gaze at the stars once again.

  Only they were brighter than before.

  A beacon of hope.

  There were millions of stars, hundreds of galaxies, and likely thousands of species, but I’d learned they could be compatible.

  Fallible.

  Vulnerable.

  There would always be danger, real monsters.

  But together, we would fight them.

  With one mighty sword.

  Roughneck

  When I took a job on an oil rig to escape my scheming stepfather’s efforts to set me up with one of his business cronies, I knew I’d be working with rugged men.

  Hunting Their Mate

  As far as I’m concerned, the Cenzans will always be the enemy, and there can be no peace while they remain on our planet. I planned to make them pay for invading our world, but I was hunted down and captured by two of their warriors with the help of a battle-hardened former Marine. Now I’m the one who is going to pay, as the three of them punish me, shame me, and share me.

  Though the thought of a fellow human taking the side of these alien brutes enrages me, that is far from the worst of it. With every searing stroke of the strap that lands across my bare bottom, with every savage thrust as I am claimed over and over, and with every screaming climax, it is made more clear that it is my own quivering, thoroughly used body which has truly betrayed me.

  Dangerous

  I knew Erik Chenault was dangerous the moment I saw him. Everything about him should have warned me away, from the scar on his face to the fact that mobsters call him Blade. But I was drawn like a moth to a flame, and I ended up burnt... and blushing, sore, and thoroughly used.

  Now he’s taken it upon himself to protect me from men like the ones we both tried to leave in our past. He’s going to make me his whether I like it or not... but I think I’m going to like it.
