Stolen and Seduced

by Christine Pope

  And when he sucked her clit into his mouth, her eyes rolled back in her head and her knees went weak. If not for his hands steadying her, she might have dropped to the floor.

  “I love the feel of you.” Erac’s voice went deep as his hand slipped up her leg and he slid a finger inside her. Anna moaned, unable to form coherent words.

  “I think we should move,” Erac said, picking her up and sitting down in the captain’s chair, with Anna on his lap. She ran her hand over his enormous cock, feeling the ridges under her fingers.

  Erac slid his finger back inside her and leaned in to suck first one nipple, then the other. “I don’t know if I can last much longer,” Anna gasped.

  “Good.” Erac’s hands moved faster. “I want to watch you come.”

  Her hips jerked with his words, and she leaned back, closing her eyes.

  She could feel her orgasm circling through her as the hot blue alien used his hands and mouth on her. It built up higher and higher in her until she was on the edge of coming.

  But then, Erac stood up. “Wrap your arms and legs around me,” he said. Anna slipped her arms around his neck and wound her legs around his waist. He picked her up with his hands under her ass and carried her the few feet to the wall, where he turned around and leaned his back against it. Anna wasn’t entirely certain what he was doing until he began pushing himself inside her. She gasped at the stretching sensation as he lowered her until he completely impaled her on his cock.

  She had already been so close to coming, and the sensation of Erac inside her finally sent her sobbing over the edge, leaving her so slick and sensitive that she whimpered with every thrust. At her moans, he swelled up inside her and exploded, filling her up.

  She tried to slide down after Erac came, but he held her still for a long time. By the time she could slip off of him, Anna’s legs were shaking.

  And also by then, one other thing had happened.

  She had decided that she wanted this alien to be truly hers.

  Forever, if I can manage it.

  Epilogue

  Kos Valdair

  Six weeks later

  I can’t believe I agreed to do this.

  Kos Valdair rubbed his eyes, then moved his hands up to massage his head around the base of his horns, where he could feel the muscles tightening into a full-blown headache.

  When his friend Erac E’Jaleat had reached out to suggest Kos sign on as the Zodiac’s first mate, he hadn’t realized Erac was taking over his now-deceased father’s business.

  Bride auctions. Of all the horrible jobs in the universe.

  By all rights, Kos should be back on his own home planet, training to do battle against the Oleroi—monsters who were part biological, part machine, and all violence.

  And coming to take over our galaxy if we don’t prepare to defend it.

  It was his duty to become a warrior. A defender of all living things. A protector.

  Not that brides weren’t important. They were. Especially since the Oleroi had sent targeted attacks that wiped out his people’s ability to breed with one another.

  Well. Not just Kos’s people.

  All twelve planets in the jump system were suffering.

  It was the first step in the Oleroi plan to destroy biological life. Next, they would invade, capturing warriors and women alike, turning them into Oleroi war-drones, forcing them to turn against the remaining people…

  He shied away from thinking about it any longer. It was too horrible to contemplate. He’d seen what the Oleroi had done to the thirteenth planet in the system before they’d been forced to close the jump to that planet.

  Monstrous.

  When this bride run was over, Kos would join the battle to protect his people. But for now, he would learn everything he could about the bridal trade. That way he could help his fellow soldiers choose the right mates for themselves.

  “Hey! How’s it going?” Anna, Erac’s business partner—and more, judging by the way they looked at each other—moved onto the bridge and slid into one of the seats behind Kos.

  He had to admit, Anna was absolutely gorgeous. And completely devoted to Erac’s plan. Kos couldn’t believe his friend had actually managed to find a planet so full of DNA-compatible women that they barely missed a dozen or so at a time.

  Not to mention, so backward that they didn’t have any defensive capabilities to speak of. They still used internal combustion engines to move around.

  They were destroying their own planet.

  Really, we’re doing their women a favor, taking them off-planet.

  Anna’s odd expression reminded him that he had not actually answered her. “I’m doing well, thank you.”

  “You ready to do this thing?”

  Kos blinked, tempted to tap his translation implant to make sure it was working. “I am prepared to aid in the capture and care of human brides, if that is what you mean.”

  Her peal of laughter echoed through the ship and Kos frowned. Anna seemed to find him extraordinarily amusing, and he had no idea why.

  “Erac will be here soon,” she said, catching her breath. “I’m setting up our office down-planet and interviewing the potential brides. I’ve put together a questionnaire that should give us an initial sorting, especially now that we’ve gotten baseline readings for all the primary species from the twelve planets in the Larix jump system.”

  Kos nodded as if he understood half of what she was talking about. According to Erac, she was a programming genius on her own planet and had taken to Larix technology as if she’d been born to it.

  We could use more like her in our fight against the Oleroi.

  But for now, he was happy to have her matching warriors to compatible mates. The bride auction was a revered tradition, but all too often, warriors chose brides with their cocks, not their minds, or even their hearts. And that didn’t always work out well for the brides the warriors bought.

  This way, Anna assured him, the brides would be happy with the mates chosen for them.

  Kos hoped she was right. The occurrence of bridal suicide had been far too high in the past, and it was an unacceptable risk.

  We can’t afford to lose the chance to mate.

  CLAIMED

  She agreed to be a model, not a mate—but now she’s in the hands of a hot alien mercenary…

  Liz

  I knew it was a bad idea to go to a modeling audition. After all, I’m not the model type. More the “you have a pretty face … and a great personality” type—at least, that’s what I’ve been told all my life. But the ad said they were looking for extra-curvy models.

  It figures—the first time I try to come out of my shell since a terrible breakup, I get abducted by aliens.

  And when I get sold off to a giant green guy with horns—actual horns!—I’m pretty sure I won’t live to see tomorrow.

  That’s when Kos tells me I’m his mate.

  I want to tell him he’s crazy. But he’s more impressive than I’d like to admit…

  Kos

  After spending years fighting other people’s battles, I expected to come back to Vandaria, settle down, and start a family.

  But while I was on my way back to my home planet, the Oleroi attacked, all but wiping out my people.

  And no Vandarian female wants a battle-scarred mercenary.

  So now I’m reduced to buying a bride from the captain of the Zodiac, who’s convinced he and his partner can find the perfect woman for me.

  I’m stunned when he brings me the most beautiful, lush, passionate woman I’ve ever met. Now I just have to convince her that we can be perfect together.

  Assuming she doesn’t kill me in my sleep first.

  Claimed is the first book in the steam
