Pillaged: A Sci-Fi Alien Warrior Romance (Raider Warlords of the Vandar Book 3)

by Tana Stone

  Her brows rose. “A deal? How intriguing.” She leaned forward. “Tell me about it.”

  “You still haven’t told me why you’re here. And not on this ship—in the Raas’ quarters.”

  She smiled at me. “Clearly, I came here to offer myself to the Raas as a thank you for allowing us to dock with his horde. I had no idea he had a mate.” Her gaze drifted down from my eyes. “But no mating marks.”

  I slid lower in the water. “Not yet. We just… I mean, I haven’t been on the ship for long.”

  “I see.” She tapped one slender finger on her chin. “In that case, I have a proposition for you.”

  I did not like the sound of that, especially if it meant sharing Toraan with her. My face must have shown my discomfort because she let out a peal of laughter.

  “I have no intention of stealing your Vandar from you. But since I won’t be pleasuring him, I’d like to offer to teach you.”

  “Teach me?”

  She tilted her head and inclined it slightly. “You’re very beautiful, but if you come from Horl, I doubt you know much about what pleases a Vandar.”

  Well, she was right about that. Most of what we’d done had been Toraan pleasing me, and although I wasn’t about to complain about it, it would be nice to return the favor.

  “Do Vandar like different things than other males?” I asked.

  She shrugged one bare shoulder. “Males are not so complicated, but there are differences between species.”

  “Like the tails,” I said.

  “Exactly. If you can use a Vandar’s tail properly it can bring you both pleasure.” She leaned forward, gathering the hem of her skirt and making it into a fabric facsimile of a tail. “The tip is where you want to concentrate. Not only is it sensitive, the Vandar can manipulate it like a hand.”

  I watched her in rapt fascination as she stroked the fabric bunched above her fist.

  “Long steady strokes with your hand squeezing the base of the furry tip is a good way to start,” she continued. “You can put it in your mouth, but that’s a lot of fur to swallow. Personally, I’d rather suck his cock and ride his tail.”

  “Ride his tail?” My voice cracked on the last word.

  “Mmhmm. You haven’t lived until you’ve been tail-fucked by a Vandar.” Her eyelids fluttered as she let out a breathy sigh. “I’d also say you haven’t lived until you’ve experienced a night with a two-phallused Tenniren, but let’s not rush you.”

  I gaped at her. I’d never been around a female who talked like this. Of course, I’d never actually met a female who exchanged sexual favors for money.

  She caught my expression and laughed. “Too much?”

  Considering everything I’d learned over the past few days, I guessed learning sex tips from an alien prostitute shouldn’t have been any more shocking than discovering that the Vandar weren’t actually the bad guys.

  “It’s okay,” I said. “I’d like to make the Raas happy in bed, even if our arrangement is political.”

  Silaria shook her head. “I doubt a Vandar male would have taken you to his bed for only political reasons, even a Raas who is known for his clever strategy. But if you want to make him even more pleased with his decision, you should become skilled with your mouth.”

  “You mean kissing?”

  Silaria uncrossed her legs and swung herself down from the counter. “I mean deepthroating, darling. Like I said before, tails are tricky because of all the fur, but if you can learn to take one of their huge cocks down your throat, he’ll love you forever.”

  I wanted to explain that neither Toraan or I were in this for love and certainly not forever, but I was too stuck on the idea of trying to take Toraan’s cock in my mouth to utter a word. Was she serious? That thing was massive.

  Silaria didn’t wait for me to reply before perching on the stone wall of the pool. “Of course, Dolorans are at an advantage because we have expandable throats and no gag impulse, but even a human can learn some tricks that will drive your Vandar wild.”

  “I’m pretty sure my mouth doesn’t even open that wide,” I said.

  She fluttered her blue fingers at me. “I’m sure you can with a little practice, but don’t forget that you also have your tongue and fingers to work with.” She reached into the water and grabbed my arm, pulling it out and holding it close to her mouth. “Watch and learn, sweetie.”

  Toraan

  The walkways were almost entirely deserted, as I made my way through the ship from my strategy room. The pleasure ship Conkarra had departed, and with it all the females who had filled my warbird with the sounds of merriment and ecstasy. There were no more scantily clad Dolorans, swishing through the corridors with warriors close on their heels, or Vandar with females kneeling in front of them, their heads buried beneath battle kilts. The pleasurers had been compensated, and we had resumed our course for Zendaren, with most of the crew either passed out from exhaustion, or smiling widely as they manned their posts.

  I leapt over the last two steps of a spiraling staircase, rattling the steel floor as I landed. While my raiders had been busy enjoying themselves, I’d remained in my strategy room, studying my star charts and reviewing every intercepted transmission from the empire. The work had calmed me, and reassured me that the Zagrath did not have any concrete information regarding our secret colonies. They might be reasonably certain of their existence, but there was no indication they had pinpointed a location, or even narrowed down their search. The galaxy was endless, and we’d been hiding our people for a millennium.

  “You can keep looking,” I muttered darkly to myself. “You won’t find them.”

  Working had also kept my mind off the female in my quarters. Or at least, distracted me a bit. As much as I had tried to focus on the maps and readouts, my thoughts had continued to drift back to her—and to what she’d said.

  I needed to remember exactly what this was—a military decision—and not let myself be carried away by how beautiful she was, or how good she felt. I’d taken her as my mate, but as a strategic move. Not to fall for her.

  “So much for that.”

  I reached the doorway to my quarters and pressed a palm on the panel to open them. I fully expected her to be asleep and to slip into bed next to her. As I’d thought, the room was dim and quiet. I slipped off my armor by the door, kicked off my boots, and stepped out of my battle kilt and belt.

  “I’ve been waiting for you, Raas.”

  The soft voice halted my steps toward the bed and drew my gaze to the figure sitting up against the backboard. “I did not expect you to be awake.”

  “Like I said, I’ve been waiting.” She let the dark sheet fall from her chest. “And Silaria left a while ago.”

  That name made my mouth drop open. Silaria was the madam of the pleasure ship. The one who’d offered herself to me. “She was here?”

  Rachael nodded as she kicked the sheets off to reveal her naked body. “She was pretty interesting. I’ve never talked to a pleasurer before.”

  I didn’t know what to say to that, but I was very aware that my cock was hardening at the sight of the human moving to the end of the bed on her hands and knees. Her shyness seemed to have vanished, along with any traces of the sheltered female from Horl.

  She curled one of her fingers, beckoning me. Speech failed me, but I walked forward until I was standing in front of her.

  Tipping her head back, she licked her lips and smiled as she ran one hand down my chest, bumping along the ridges of my stomach.

  Her touch made my cock even harder, and it jutted out stiff from my body. She wrapped her fingers around it, and I let out a moan as she moved her hand up the length of it. She traced the tip of her finger around the crown, sliding across the moisture beading at the tip.

  I closed my eyes to keep from exploding, then opened them instantly when I felt her tongue on me. The sight of her pink tongue swirling around the head of my cock caused me to moan again.

  She pee
red up at me, pausing long enough to ask if I liked what she was doing.

  I nodded, trying to find coherent words. “Did Silaria tell you how to do this?”

  She nodded, returning her lips to my cock and taking the head into her mouth. My eyes almost rolled into the back of my head as she sucked hard, and I tangled my fingers in her hair. Not only was she sucking my cock, she was on all fours doing it, her back arched and her round ass high in the air. Tvek. I should have paid the madam even more than she’d requested.

  Rachael kept her fist tight around the base of my cock, sliding it up and down as she sucked. I tightened my grip in her hair, trying to control the overwhelming sensations wracking my body.

  She looked up again as she spread her legs slightly. “I want your tail.”

  I stared at her for a moment, not sure I’d heard what I thought I had. “You want me to…?”

  Her pupils flared. “Fuck me with your tail while I suck you.”

  My body jerked. Had the innocent female from Horl really just asked me to tail fuck her? She gave me a mischievous smile and wiggled her ass before she returned her mouth to my cock.

  I didn’t ask her again, my possessive and dominant Vandar instinct taking over. I bent my tail under her body, sliding it between her breasts and down her stomach until I reached her folds. She quivered as my furry tip parted her and stroked up and down.

  When I found her slick nub and circled it, it was her turn to jerk. Even though her mouth was filled with my cock, she moaned, the muffled noise vibrating down my shaft. I kept swirling my tail until she started to tremble, her noises getting more desperate even as she kept her lips stretched around my cock.

  As she detonated, I slid my tail lower and thrust it inside her, her body clenching hard as she rocked into me. I didn’t wait, but dragged it out and in again as she came, my pace relentless as my tail fucked her hard.

  She pulled my cock from her mouth just long enough to gasp. “Your tail feels so good.”

  “Not as good as your mouth feels sucking me,” I growled, as she curled her fingers around my girth and stretched her lips around the thick head of my cock again. Watching her mouth on me while my tail was snug inside her tight cunt made my heart thunder in my chest and the blood rush hot in my ears.

  She was so tight, and her mouth was so wet and hot. I grunted as I used my hand on the back of her head to pull her even closer, captivated by watching her suck me down. Knowing she was my mate somehow made it even hotter, and knowing she’d never done this for another male sent a possessive thrill through me.

  “Your pretty little mouth is all mine.” I pushed my tail deeper inside her, the nerve endings practically vibrating. “So is this sweet little cunt.”

  Her pace quickened, and she made a keening noise that made me bite my lip.

  “Rachael,” I rasped. “I can’t hold back any longer.”

  She reached one hand around and grabbed my bare ass, pulling me until my cock bumped the back of her throat. With a roar, I threw back my head and pulsed into her mouth.

  After a moment, I looked down and saw Rachael swallowing and dabbing at her mouth. “That was even better than Silaria said it would be.”

  My legs shook as her fingers released my cock. “Maybe we should dock with more pleasure ships.”

  She twitched one shoulder up. “Or maybe you should spend more time with your mate, so you can discover what other tricks I learned.”

  Any hope I’d had of not falling for the human female had officially flown out the window, along with my self-control.

  Chapter 27

  Rachael

  I was surprised how much I’d loved sucking Toraan, and how much I’d gotten turned on by having his tail inside me. Sex was nothing like my mother had said, and was even better than my inexperienced fumbling in the stables back on Horl. Even though I’d agreed to the deal with the Raas for different reasons, it was easy to forget that fact. More than once, as I was curled up next to him in bed, I had to remind myself that Toraan was spending so much time with me for a purpose.

  It was no hardship to spend the rest of the journey in bed with him, although he did leave our quarters occasionally to check on the ship’s progress, and ensure the Zagrath weren’t in pursuit. Rotations passed in a blur, with our meals being delivered and sometimes uneaten, as we couldn’t seem to get enough of each other. But as much time as we spent with our limbs entwined and our skin glistening with sweat, mating marks had still not appeared for either one of us. Toraan never mentioned it, but I’d caught him glancing down at his bare chest a few times.

  “Are you hungry?” He called out from the main room as I lowered myself into the second level of the pools, the slightly warm, orange water bubbling up around me and releasing a spicy scent. The hot water below was too hot for my tender flesh, especially after being pounded over and over by the Raas. Even alternating between his cock and his furry tail had not prevented the soreness that made me walk gingerly.

  “Starving,” I yelled back, inhaling the perfume of the water and letting my muscles uncoil. “I’ll be out in a little while.”

  I leaned my head against the stone ledge and stretched my arms behind me. I wasn’t sure what was in the orange water, but it definitely helped lessen my soreness. If it hadn’t been for my frequent soaks I doubted I would have been able to walk at all.

  Water splashing over the side made me open my eyes. Toraan was stepping into the water, his long, thick cock swinging between his legs and drawing my gaze. As much time as I’d spent up close and personal with it, I still couldn’t help staring.

  “I thought we were recuperating,” he said, catching my eyes and giving me a look of mock surprise.

  “We are. I am.” I splashed him as he sank down next to me in the water, then closed my eyes again. “You’re the one who’s insatiable.”

  He choked out a laugh. “Says the human who woke me up this morning by straddling me.”

  “If you don’t want me to touch you, you shouldn’t get so hard in the mornings.”

  “All males wake up with hard cocks.”

  I opened one eye and peeked at him. “Really?”

  This time he laughed fully. “I have never heard of a species where the males did not.”

  My face warmed. There was still so much I didn’t know about males, and especially Vandar males. Sometimes I wished I’d had more time with the alien madam. “Then I’ll try not to pester you in the mornings.”

  “I didn’t say you were pestering me.” He tugged me so that I was sitting on his lap and wrapped his arms around me, his body cocooning mine from behind. “I’ve never enjoyed waking up so much in my life.”

  I smiled and leaned my head so that it rested on his shoulder. “Same here. I wish we could stay like this forever.”

  “Since you agreed to be my mate, and I have no intention of leaving the horde or sending you off the ship, you will get your wish.”

  “Until we reach the Vandar colony,” I reminded him. I didn’t know why, but I got a nervous flutter in my stomach every time I thought about visiting one of the secret colonies and meeting Vandar who weren’t part of Raas Toraan’s horde.

  “We will not be on Zendaren for long.” He used his large hands to scoop water onto my exposed chest, the bubbles tickling my skin as they popped. “I will meet with my uncle to discuss strategy and defenses for the colonies now that the Zagrath suspect their existence, and my raiders will see their family. We also have several warriors who will be taking mates on Zendaren and leaving the horde.”

  “Do I need to come to the surface, or can I stay here and wait for you?”

  “The entire horde will land on Zendaren.” He cupped my breasts in his hands and thumbed my nipples. “I will be introducing you to my uncle, the former Raas. He will want to see the female I have taken as a mate.”

  “Will you tell him?”

  “That I am obsessed with your perfect body and your sweet little cunt?” His words were dark and low as his lips buzzed m
y ear. “No, I think I’ll keep that to myself.”

  I wanted to elbow him, but his touch was making it hard to concentrate. Already my nipples were hard points, and I wiggled in his lap as his cock swelled beneath me. “You know what I mean, Toraan.”

  “The only person on Zendaren I would consider telling is my uncle, and only because our arrangement is part of the larger strategy with the empire.”

  My heart sank a little bit. “Of course.”

  “You do not need to worry about Raas Maassen. He will be as charmed by you as I was.”

  I twisted around in his lap to face him. “He won’t be bothered that I’m human?”

  “He was always a progressive Raas, who understood the need of our hordes to adapt. He is not a purist like my father.” He smoothed one of my curls away from my face and tucked it behind one ear. “And I do not care what anyone else on Zendaren thinks of my decision. I am a Raas, and I have chosen you. It is done.”

  “Does saying that always work?”

  “Saying what?”

  “It is done.”

  He grinned. “I have never given it much thought. It is what we say when something is settled.”

  “And we’re settled?”

  His eyes held mine. “Have I not said you are my mate?”

  I nodded. “I guess it’s done.”

  He leaned forward and brushed his lips across mine. “It is.”

  I was soaking in the scented water to heal my aching flesh, but being so close to Toraan made hunger flare within me. No matter how much he fucked me, I could not get enough of him. I moaned and returned his kiss.

  Even as he shifted me forward so that his cock was notched at my opening, I wasn’t sure if I felt reassured. It was one thing to give a human asylum, and take her as a mate to protect her when you were flying around in a horde. It was another to bring a human mate to a colony of Vandar.

  I pushed my worries from my mind as I braced my hands on his shoulders, lifting myself so that I could sink down onto his rigid length and start to ride. I was so lost in our mutual moans of pleasure and water sloshing over the stone ledge that I didn’t hear the thumping of the door until Toraan’s majak was standing outside the bathroom doorway, loudly clearing his throat.
