  Chapter One

  "So," Quartz mused, eyeing the large bodyguard before her from where she lounged on her cushioned chair. Her lips curled up into a cat-like grin, part mocking, part amused. Twirling a finger along a strand of her platinum hair, she looked at the color through the light. She was vain, knew it, didn’t care. said, "You’re the new piece of man-meat Lord Maximus has sent to watch over little ol’ me."

  "Yes, Ms. Quartz," Thor answered, his deep voice rumbling in his chest. The sound of it gave her chills all the way to her toes. "He’s very concerned about those letters you’ve been receiving."

  "What, those crazy fan letters?" Quartz laughed and gave a dismissing wave of her hand. "Who cares about some crazed fan and his death threats? Do you know how many letters I get a day from fans? How many pictures? How many boxes of jewels and furs and clothes and ... and shoes? Last week I think I turned down at least fifteen marriage proposals. Fifteen! So what if some fan has a fetish about me? I’m not worried and neither should you be."

  Thor kept his eyes focused forward, though she knew it was hard for him to keep his eyes off of her. She purposefully wore nothing but the flimsy veil of a white, see-through robe. Nothing was left to the imagination. Her perky breasts were small but perfect with rose-tipped nipples that drove men absolutely crazy. Her arms and legs were slender, gracefully so. She had an ass so tight and round that when she bent over she knew eyes couldn’t help but be on it.

  Quartz was a Galaxy Playmate. Men coveted her, and women envied and despised her. She knew other women were jealous and would give anything to be her. She was a dancer, a stripper, a star, and she was beautiful. Her platinum blond hair, light blue eyes, and skin as pale as snow were her trademarks. She had the tan bleached from her features, making her look pure, innocent. Dare she think it? Virginal.

  Lord Maximus had given her the name Quartz. He nicknamed all his women after precious metals and gemstones and all the bodyguards were named after mythological Earth Gods, mainly because they all looked like Gods. The names stuck and it got to the point no one even cared to use their real name anymore. It was show business after all and they were living the illusion so many fantasized over.

  "Lord Maximus doesn’t seem all that convinced it’s just a crazy fan having a good time," Thor said. "He thinks your life might be in danger."

  "Lord Maximus is a sourpuss, always has been." Quartz chuckled, wiggling in her seat. The low tone of his voice was making her hot. "My life isn’t in danger. It’s probably some guy whose marriage proposal I turned down. He’s just trying to scare me into reconsidering."

  "You should take more care with yourself, Miss Quartz." Thor still didn’t look at her and she made a small face at him in defiance.

  "Well," she purred, "as I see it, it’s your job to take care of me and my... ah... personal needs, Mr. Thor. Mars didn’t do such a hot job of it. I would hate to have you lose your job like he did."

  Her last bodyguard, Mars, had called her a spoiled brat just because she’d teased him with her presence and then didn’t put out. He used to spy on her through a peephole in the wall. Okay, Quartz knew he watched and would impishly entertain him, sometimes waiting until he was there to bring men back to her room. She’d then proceeded to fuck them where Mars could see her doing it, angling them just right so he’d see their cock pounding into her, into a place he’d never be allowed. It excited her to know he was there, watching her, wanting her, jerking himself off because she would never allow him to have her.

  But in the end he’d become too handsy, so she’d had him fired. Thor, the handsome piece of sweet-ass man chocolate standing before her, was Mars’ replacement. Licking her lips, she let her eyes have the pleasure of looking over his body. She knew he liked her, had seen him watching her when she was onstage. She wasn’t a stranger to the hazy look that entered his eyes when she stripped.

  Okay, with all her womanly charms on display through the robe, Quartz knew she looked anything but virginal and, in truth, she was far from it. She liked to fuck, always had. She liked the sound of it, the smell, the look. She liked the thrusting, the sweating, the grunts that a man made only in that glorious moment of release. Just thinking about it made cream build in her pussy, drenching down to her thighs.

  Unconsciously, she let her legs fall open as she sat in the chair before him. Thor’s mouth twitched and she knew he watched her from the corner of his dark eyes. He really was a handsome man--solid of build with an incredibly
delicious ass she wouldn’t mind biting. Although he wore tight leather pants and a tight black shirt, she couldn’t see the full extent of his package. Thor was rumored to be huge. It made her pant just thinking about it and she definitely wanted to see his monstrous cock for herself.

  When Thor refused to break his militant pose, she frowned. Whipping her legs together, she stood up. Purposeful, she moved across his line of vision to a glass shelf on the dressing room wall. Lightly touching a cluster of quartz, she said, "This is my collection of rare Earth pieces. It’s my namesake--quartz. You aren’t to touch them, just as you aren’t to touch me unless I ask you to help me with something. Just like these precious stones, I’m valuable merchandise. And, being such, I get what I want, when and how I want it. Is that clear, Mr. Thor?"

  Thor nodded. Quartz frowned. He still wasn’t looking at her directly.

  "This one here is a plate of heavily inter-grown quartz crystals from the former India on Earth. It has excellent clarity, but do you see here how they look cloudy?" Quartz paused, waiting for him to glance at the piece she held nestled between her breasts. He did, briefly. She frowned when his gaze didn’t linger on her. She continued anyway, "It’s the mineral in them that does it."

  Licking her lips, she paused. Then, reaching to an amethyst stalactite, she stroked the long, bumpy purple shaft in her palm like it was a cock. Thor’s lips tightened and she grinned.

  "These others are my favorite pieces. Notice the hard, long length of it from base to rounded tip. The crystals are so cool, but when I touch it like this, they’ll quickly soak in the warmth from my fingers making the stones feel more alive." Quartz stroked the crystal again, wrapping her long fingers over it, before setting it back down. She looked across to Thor, letting her lids fall over her eyes. Picking up the white, sparkly crystal covered in little bumps, she began giving it the same erotic treatment. "This is a Cactus Quartz and it’s by far the best one I have. It’s so textured, so ha-hard."

  Quartz made a weak sound as if she was coming by just the feel of it in her hands. She brought it to her chest, letting the crystal rub over her nipples until they stood at erect attention. She gasped in excitement as jolts of pleasure washed over her. Slowly, her heavy gaze on Thor, she continued to make weak, feminine noises. She trailed the crystal down her flat stomach, stopping just above her moist slit. To her satisfaction, she watched as his cock grew hard beneath the tight black leather of his pants. She wasn’t disappointed. The bulge was huge.

  Very carefully, she set the piece back on the shelf. Her mission was accomplished for now. Thor was thoroughly aroused and she had the immense amusement of knowing she wouldn’t fuck him to relieve him of it. She liked the idea of big, bad Thor in bed at night masturbating to her image in his head. Oh, what she wouldn’t give to watch it, his strong dark hands stroking over his hard cock.

  She’d drilled a hole in the wall to Mars’ room so she could spy on him. She used to call on him right as he was about to seduce a woman to his bed, interrupting his pleasure. Now that Thor took over Mars’ chambers, she’d be able to watch him too.

  Lord Maximus had a thing about his treasure trove of women selling their bodies like common space trash. To openly sleep with many men took away the illusion of untouchable. They were allowed to have sex, but they always had to keep it within a relationship or with the high paying clientele. It was always ladies’ choice and no one prostituted if they didn’t want to. Being an all-out whore was one of the only ways to be stripped of Lord Maximus’ prized circle of protection. The little fact didn’t keep Quartz from having her fun though.

  Right now, they were on a traveling circuit of shows for about eight months before they’d take a break. Either they would go to the Galaxy Playmates Spaceport where Lord Maximus lived in his mansion or to visit family. Quartz didn’t speak to her family. They didn’t approve of her lifestyle and she didn’t approve of theirs. Five brothers and they were all miners like their father. Their mother, a stout woman, was content being maid and cook to all the men. If she wouldn’t have away when she did, she’d be married to a miner with five rug rats of her own to pick up after.

  Nope, Quartz had no desire for children. It’s why she fanatically made sure her immunization shots were up to date. She wouldn’t risk having any little ‘accidents.’ Besides, she was too selfish to be a parent. She knew it and did the responsible thing--she simply didn’t become one.

  Looking at Thor, she said, "You may go. I have to get ready for my act."

  Thor nodded and, without hesitation, turned to leave. She watched him walk through the door, licking her lips as she watched his ass move. Oh, but he was going to be a fun one to break.

  Chapter Two

  Quartz loved being on stage, knowing the eyes were on her, knowing the cocks were raised to full, throbbing attention because of her. Let people call her a whore. What did she care? She liked what she did for a living. It was easy money and a grand way to live her life.

  Laughing as she made her way from the stage wearing nothing but a couple silver pasties over her nipples and a tight thong that disappeared between her ass cheeks, she stopped to give a flirtatious wink to Jonathan. The young man was one of the crew workers. His bright green eyes followed all the women and Quartz loved teasing him. The lad grinned back at her, a dreamy look in his eyes.

  Seeing Thor standing nearby, she gave him a cat-like grin. Lightly, she ran her hand over his large chest as she made her way down the ship’s metal corridor to her dressing room. She grazed a manly nipple with her fingers and felt his heartbeat speed up.

  "Thor," she purred. "I’ll be ready for my meet n’ greet here in a second. But, first, why don’t you come and help me pick out something to wear. I don’t feel like making any decisions tonight."

  "Yes, Miss Quartz," he rumbled in his dark, low tone. He moved to follow her and Quartz artfully wiggled her hips to draw his attention down to her pert ass. His breath caught and she pretended not to notice.

  Once in her dressing room, she turned and motioned Thor to shut the door. Stretching, she posed her arm over her head. "Let’s see. What do you think, Thor? What’s my best color?"

  "Light blue," he responded immediately, though his eyes stayed politely off her.

  Quartz grinned. Light blue, hm? She could do light blue. But, first, she wanted him to look at her. Maybe even touch her.

  "Thor, come help me with these pasties. Sometimes they stick and I find it’s easier to get them off if I have help." His dark gaze flitted to hers and she smiled innocently. "You don’t mind, do you? It’s not like I have anything you haven’t seen before."

  "No, Miss Quartz, I don’t mind."

  Thor crossed over to her. She thrust her hands up in the air, arching her breasts toward him. As he reached for her, she made a small noise of appreciation.

  "Actually," she said in a low, sultry tone, "they come off easier when they’re wet."

  Quartz gave a meaningful glance to his mouth. A small smile twitched on the side of his lips. He knew it was a game--she saw in his eyes that he did. But, she also saw that he was more than willing to play it. Leaning over, his full lips parted to surround the tip of her small breast. She kept her hands up, out of the way, as she watched him come for her.

  Thor leaned over, keeping his hands at his sides. His mouth was hot as it encircled her covered nipple. Her hips jolted in pure ecstasy, as she watched the play of his lips along her chest. Gently, he sucked at her, grazing his teeth lightly around the pasties’ edge. She cursed the cloth for being in the way of his tongue, keeping her from feeling the rough brush of it against her sensitive flesh. With a tug, he pulled the little bit of material off her breast. Her nipple stood erect, waiting for him to come back to it. Instead, he spit the silver circle onto the ground and moved over to the other side.

  Quartz wanted to force his lips all the way onto her. Her thong became soaked with her need. Her chest ached, wanting his touch. Again he pulled the material off with his teeth, only to draw ba
ck and spit it to the floor. His eyes were dark pits of desire when he stood before her.

  "Thank you, Thor," she purred. Her body ached, but she refused to beg him back to his task. Turning, her hips swayed as she walked to her wardrobe. She ran her fingers over the panel and watched the metal wall slide open.

  Quartz’s hands went to her hips as she pretended to look over the wardrobe’s contents. Hooking her fingers into the tiny straps at her hips, she slowly bent over as she pulled off the thong. Her ass thrust back in the air and she knew instinctively that Thor would be watching her. How could he not be?

  Coming back up, she placed her hands on her hips and said thoughtfully, "Thor, which do you think? I’m in the mood to make some money tonight."

  She shivered as his footfalls approached. Reaching over her shoulder, he grabbed a light blue lingerie set and pulled it against her.

  "Wear this," he murmured, his tone hot.

  Quartz shivered. The outfit was one of her favorites. A thin pair of lace panties went on first, to hide beneath the waist-cinching corset. The corset was made of satin and lace, pulling tight at her slender midsection, only to leave her hips and breasts bare. Laces crossed over the back, keeping the material pulled tight to her flesh. Garters hung down and she pulled lace topped stocking up over her thighs.

  She made a slow seduction of pulling on the clothes, and when she’d finished, she turned to look at Thor. The fire in his eyes made her shiver in anticipation. With one word, she knew he’d throw her up against the wall and fuck her brains out. He didn’t move and she didn’t speak. His control fascinated her.

  Her breasts hung out, completely bare. Her nipples were still puckered from his mouth’s torture. With a pull of a pin, she tugged her platinum blond locks loose to spill over her shoulders. Then, crossing over to the mirrored vanity, she ran her finger over the corner edge and watched as her reflection was replaced by hair and makeup style options.
