This cabin wasn’t mine—nor did it seem it was anyone else’s. As a result, there was a lack of personal touch, and only the bare minimum was left behind.
Checking my wristband, I cursed at the time. I was three hours late from the first delivery.
Nami was going to murder me...
I needed to get back to the Host Cafe before she sent someone after my triad, believing they did something to me. I had never missed a shift, not unless I was sick and puking my guts out in bed.
I left the room and made my way to the storage bay, hoping one of the triad brothers would be there. I breathed a sigh of relief when I found Ajamu sitting down polishing his collection of daggers.
“I hate to cut this short, but I’m late to work, and I need to know where my daughter is.”
“Caia already left about four hours ago,” he replied, studying me with his golden gaze as he continued to polish his lethal weapons. “She begged me not to wake you, saying that you overwork yourself and need some needed rest. So Eynar offered to escort her to the host club, knowing you wouldn’t want her to travel there alone, and Karvyan just left for his infirmary shift.”
Blinking, I stared at him in shock at how effortlessly he had gone over the clan’s schedule without stopping. Somehow, this little gesture settled another part of me that I didn’t know was missing.
The clan environment.
All of these years, I had been taking care of my daughter, and it was nice to have others to help share responsibilities.
“Thank you.”
He nodded as he continued polishing while watching me.
“I am going to go to work now.” Then, using a thumb and fist, I gestured behind me. “When should I come back?”
“This ship is yours,” he replied. “You can live here if you please.”
“Where would I stay?” I couldn’t help but think about living here with them.
“The cabin you woke up in is yours. I placed you there last night and tucked you in. Caia’s cabin is directly next door, so you both can still live near each other.”
“You were the one who tucked me in?”
“I was tempted to allow you to sleep in my arms in this chair, but Eynar suggested you would appreciate waking up in a bed better.”
Honestly, Eynar wasn’t wrong. I wasn’t used to sleeping with anyone, so even waking up in his arms would’ve been a shock.
“I loved the bed. It’s larger and more comfortable than the one I currently have.”
“Then it’s confirmed. You live here now.”
“Let me discuss it with Caia first,” I countered. “And perhaps even Nami, before I make any permanent plans.”
Swiftly, Ajamu stood and tucked all of the daggers away in secret compartments within his pants. Then, wordlessly, he walked over and stopped before me, offering me a hand.
I eyed all of the places where I’d just seen him store away his weaponry before glancing up at him. His face had a steely seriousness to it as his golden slitted eyes stared back at me.
“I take it you are escorting me?” I asked, grabbing his outreached hand. “Is this a new thing too?”
“What happened to you was worse than I had feared—than we had feared. So to prevent anything similar from happening to either Caia or you, each one of us will take turns escorting you to your destinations until either we relocate to a safer environment or Caia gets a triad of her own.”
“That won’t be at least ten years from now,” I muttered. “How are you supposed to be finding a job if you are too busy taking us to places?”
“I called your boss, Nami,” he explained, leading us off of the ship, only to pause to close that hatch. “I told her that the both of you were sleeping safely in your own cabins. Then, while I had her on the vidscreen, I asked her about taking a security job at her host club.”
“Security job?”
“Correct, it seems she had two openings recently—”
“Let me guess, both you and Eynar took the positions?”
Squeezing my hand, he let out a deep chuckle. “You could say something like that.”
“You love your warehouse job, and Karvyan is happier when he can help others.” He shrugged. “Nami said that she was willing to do anything to keep you.
“My brothers and I didn’t have a chance to tell you last night because you were too distraught telling us your story, but there’s something you should know.”
“What is it?” Instantly, I felt my stomach drop at the possibilities of what serious secret I needed to know.
“I know you know that my brother’s and I were victims of our own government, but what you don’t know is that we were part of the second wave of staff that worked the palace.”
“What?”
I stilled, stopping in the middle of the busy crowd, as I felt like a heavy rock crushed me from above. Ajamu leaned over me as if he were trying to protect me from the citizens as they passed by.
“We didn’t know anything about you. At that point in time, everything was on a need-to-know basis, and knowledge wasn’t shared freely. The only thing we knew was that Prince Rokye had killed his brothers, and you were pregnant. We didn’t know that you were tortured, nor did we know that you were human. Soon after you disappeared, Prince Rokye declared that you were kidnapped by one of the other Rowdu tribes, and after he refused to pay their ransom, they killed you.
“Your very existence has been erased, and it seems only a select few actually know the truth. But if the prince or anyone else comes searching for you, I want to be there when they arrive to fight them off if I need to.
“The only thing you fear is Prince Rokye, but if you are willing to accept having both Eynar and me working at the same establishment as you, we will make sure you have nothing else to fear for the rest of your life. There’s a large amount of homeless Rowdu that just arrived here at the station, all victims like our triad, and I will be the first to tell you that they hate our royalty. If any of them show up here, they may not ever leave.
“The SOS Station is a neutral zone. But, by claiming us as your triad and clan, if anyone seeks to harm you, it’s my right to defend what’s mine—and that’s you, Caia, and my brothers.
“So tell me, knowing all of this, are you willing to stay with us—and allow us to work alongside you?”
“The best of both worlds, huh?”
“You love your current job, Caia loves her new room, all three of us have a job, and you can see Nami every day—all while never having to fear about your past ever again.”
“You’re right.” I leaned into him as he instantly wrapped his arms and tail around me. “That sounds perfect.”
Chapter Twenty
Elya
I never knew how wonderful it would feel to not only have a clan, but to be able to work alongside them.
It was everything I didn’t know that I needed.
After I spoke alone with Caia and Nami, we agreed that our new future plan was perfect for us. My triad insisted we moved out after work that day.
Now, Nami is in the process of updating her two office spaces, making hers more luxurious and changing our old makeshift apartment into a security room for her host club.
Now, every morning, the four of us walk Karvyan to the infirmary, since it was on the way to the host, and we pick him up on the way back. We’ve taken turns going grocery shopping and even went out to eat in one of the upper floor establishments.
For once in my life, everything felt right.
But there was one problem--outside of sitting on their laps, holding hands and stolen kisses, we hadn’t done anything.
A tiny part of me was terrified--not of them, but if something would trigger me, and make them never want to try again.
Yet a greater part of me was ecstatic.
I felt ready--and safe--with my clan. I knew deep in my soul that they wouldn’t ever intentionally hurt me, and they wanted nothing but best for me.
Because of that, I knew I was ready t
o be officially claimed and forever bind myself to the three very males who were working hard to show me that they loved me.
“So why is Caia spending the night over Nami’s apartment?” Ajamu asked as we entered our vessel. “Whenever I asked Nami, she just chuckled and shook her head, claiming that they were going to have a ‘girl’s night”.”
“What’s a ‘girl’s night’?” Karvyan wrapping his arms around me. “Should we be concerned?”
“Only if you want your claws--and maybe your spines--painted.”
“Why would I want that?” Ajamu raised his hands and rolled his fingers as he peered at their claws. “They look fine black.”
“I don’t know,” Eynar mused. “I think maybe having gold spines would be neat. They would match our markings.”
“You guys are ridiculous!” Holding my stomach with one arm, I let out a loud rolling laugh as I whipped my tears with the other. “Have you ever thought that maybe I wanted to be alone… without any children… for one night?”
“Where should we stay?” Karvyan asked. “We can afford one of those---”
“Guys.” I dragged a hand over my face and sighed. “Have you ever thought that maybe I wanted to make us official?”
Three pairs of eyes shot straight at me, as their tails came to life.
“Are you sure?” Eynar hedged. “We aren’t in a rush--”
“Yes, I am sure.” Biting my lip, I grabbed the hem of my top and swiftly took it off, tossing it to the side. “There isn’t anything more I want right now than to be completely utterly bound to the three of you for eternity.”
One by one, all three pairs of horns lit up like a neon sign from my bold display, installing the confidence I needed to continue.
I unzipped my pants and grabbed its seam, as I slowly shimmied myself out of them. Kicking them toward them, I winked as I stood with nothing more but my undergarments.
The three of them stared at me hungrily, their eyes darkened with lust as their tails swayed aggressively behind them, as if they were preparing themselves to strike.
Surprisingly, I wasn’t afraid.
Instead, there was something about them having enough control to stand before me aroused and eager, but waiting for my permission for their touch sent a thrill through me. They had enough respect and love for me to wait until I was ready for them.
The thing was… I didn’t want to take them one by one.
No, I wanted the whole Rowdu experience.
I loosened my bra and threw it off, tossing it towards them, as I tried to hook it on one of their horns---and missed.
Slowly, I licked one of my hands and slid it between my exposed breasts, past my stomach and between my legs. My fingers trailed to my underwear and I hesitated, peering at my males, before I plucked them to the side. To my surprise, my panties were already soaked from the erotic display I’ve been giving them.
“I think I’m ready”
It was as if those four words had flipped a switch within them. Instantly, they tossed their pants off and rushed over to me, as they stroked their already hardened cocks.
“Are you sure you want this?” Eynar asked, combing my hair back. “We will stop if it ever gets too much.”
“I am sure.” Closing my eyes, I leaned into his touch. “There is nothing more that I want than your marks on me.”
“Karvyan should take her first,” Ajamu directed. “He would be the gentlest out of the three of us, and that’s what she needs for her first time as our core.”
“It would be my first time too,” Karvyan muttered. “I hope I will be okay.’
“You will be fine,” Eynar said, giving Karvyan a punch in the shoulder. “Just think about all the times you will be able to practice after this.”
Wordlessly as always, Ajamu picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, earning himself a shocked screech as he carried me into a cabin that I’ve never seen before. The others followed closely behind with hungry gazes.
He gently threw me onto the center of the large bed and gripped my panties, instantly ripping them off.
Suddenly, my legs were on his shoulders as he placed his face between my legs and he began feasting on my pussy.
A loud moan erupted from the back of my throat, as I gripped the sheets, hard. The others joined, both taking a breast as they began licking and sucking a nipple.
Hands roamed my body, sending shivers up my spine, but there wasn’t a moment that I didn’t feel scared.
Glancing over at Karvyan, he locked his violet eyes onto mine as he began stroking my hair. It was as if he was wordlessly asking if I was alright. Closing my eyes, I nodded my head, absorbing the sensations that coursed through me.
I felt something foreign coil deep inside me, growing larger with every heartbeat.
Right as I thought I was about to explode, Ajamu removed my legs from shoulders and pulled away.
“She’s ready for you Karvyan,” he purred, licking his lips. “Lay down, so she can climb on top. Let her ride you as Eynar and I direct her.”
Karvyan shoot me a worried look but complied.
As soon as he was on his back, I was on top of him.
There was something about that coil, that sensation that I needed to chase, and I knew my triad had me.
Gripping his cock, I rubbed his textured shaft along my soaked folds, making sure I covered every layer. Once satisfied, I lined his flared head to my entrance and slowly lowered myself onto his hard cock.
My eyes rolled to the back of my head, as I felt every bump as it entered me.
As soon as I was seated, I pressed my hands against his chest and started rocking myself on his shaft. I watched as he was slowly becoming undone beneath me, twitching with every move.
But I couldn’t find that build up. That promise of an explosion.
“I need more,” I begged. “Grab me, Karvyan. Grab my ass and rock me.”
Nodding, he did what I said and cupped my ass with his hands.
Leaning backward, I reached for my other mates, needing to touch them, and for them to touch me.
This wasn’t just between Karvyen and I, but all of us.
I grabbed both of their cocks and rubbed them in sync with each thrust. They combed my hair back and their tails wrapped around my torso, as if they were joining.
Suddenly, there it was.
That foreign build up had returned and was growing at an extreme speed.
“Mark me. Mark me. Mark me.” I chanted, needing to feel their claiming venom inside me. “Make me yours. Bind me.”
Karvyan slammed me down on his cock as he tilted me forward, biting the side of my neck. As soon as he released me, Eynar sat me up, and bit the other side.
I needed one more.
Glancing at Ajamu, I watched as he took the hand that was wrapped around his cock and led it to his mouth, before biting my wrist.
The pain was instant, but it was replaced by a searing need.
I needed them--and I needed their claim all over me.
Without a word, Karvyan began thrusting into me like he too was chasing the same thing as me. I pumped each of my other mates' shafts, feeling the power of having them within my hands, and joining with me.
“I love you,” I moaned. “I love each and every one of you.”
As one, we jerked, grunted and moaned, as stars flooded my vision.
The stars healed me that night… over and over again.
