Precious Starlight (Quads of Galafrax Book 3)

by Angela Castle

  One strong arm draped over her hip, keeping her pinned down. He slid a finger into her, pushing it in and out several times before adding a second.

  Daisy’s breathing became short and choppy as her body quickly climbed to climax, needing to release the building pressure brought on by both the drug and her desire for Cir.

  The peak hit and she screamed, but it wasn’t enough. She panted and shuddered, her fingers clawing at his head, trying to force him up.

  “More… need, more!” she panted.

  He lifted her, turning them both and setting his body down on the cot, her legs either side of his large body, giving her the control over their pleasure.

  She stared down at the love and lust swirling in Cir’s gaze. He held on to her hips as she lifted her body, reached around and placed his cock at her entrance.

  Both moaned in unison as she slowly sank down onto his hardness. God, she loved how her men always filled her till she could think of nothing but them, in her, surrounding her. Never would she get enough of them.

  She lifted up and dropped her body, up, down, up, down, the friction making them both pant. Her body wound up again to another needed peak. He kept his hands in place to help her settle into a hard, fast rhythm.

  “Oh, yes, god!” Sweat broke out over her skin as another orgasm rolled over her. He shifted and, in one smooth move, her back hit the med bed and she blinked up at the wall of muscle, over her. He thrust wildly into her, making her peak for a third time. Uncontrollably, she sobbed his name, her head thrashing from side to side as he prolonged her ecstasy. His body began to shake, his cock thickening and pulsing deep inside her as his hot seed branded her inner walls.

  He collapsed forward, both their breathing ragged, and held her tight, placing soft sweet kisses over the side of her face and murmuring how special she was and how much they’d missed her.

  She sighed contentedly, the driving lust eased, at least for now.

  “Should have known he’d be molesting her rather than making sure of her health.”

  Bex’s dry humour-filled words made both their heads turn.

  Excited as she was to see him, Tos and Loz, who closed the door behind them, she sadly lacked strength to jump up into their arms.

  Cir pulled off her and she saw the guilt flash in his gaze as he glanced down at her.

  “Don’t you dare,” she warned, knowing it was on his lips to apologise.

  His lips turned up into a grin. “No wonder I love you so much.” He pulled her up into his arms before setting her on the bench and pulling away, bending over to retrieve scattered clothing.

  “Are you all right, precious starlight?” Loz’s gaze raked hungrily down her flushed nude body, as he drew closer.

  Her eyes narrowed on him, a mixture of anger and relief warring within. She gave way to both, lashing out her anguish for all she’d been through, slapping Loz across the face. “Don’t ever send me away again!”

  He blinked in shock, teetering off balance and rocking back on his feet. She grabbed his top and yanked him forward. She meshed her lips onto his, kissing him with all her fierce pent-up longing, as she’d done with Cir.

  He moaned against her lips, his arms around her, crushing her body against his. “Forgive me, my sheraz, please. I will never send you away again, I swear on my life, never.”

  “We almost lost you, moonbeam, and we’ll never make the same mistake again,” Tos swore, his hand sliding down her back. She broke from Loz to find herself pulled out of Loz’s arms and into Tos’s.

  She sagged against Tos, feeling her limbs weak, drained of strength from all the drugs and sex. At the same time, her body again warmed and she whimpered against Tos’s mouth.

  “You know it is my turn.”

  Bex’s amused comment broke through her sex-fuzzed brain. “I was the genius who actually got us all out of this sticky situation.”

  “We’re not out of it yet,” Cir commented, as Tos tore his mouth from her.

  “This isn’t fair,” Daisy groaned.

  “What’s not fair?” Tos moved to let Bex in and he pulled her into his arms, holding her close.

  She sighed against the warmth and expanse of his chest. “I finally get my men back. I want you more than anything, but I’m so tired.”

  “I had to give her Grippa to counteract what the councillors had injected her with.” Cir tugged up his pants.

  “Grippa…damn the ice plains, if that makes one of us overly horny, what’s it doing to her?” Bex stroked a hand down her back.

  Peeking up from under her lashes, she swore Cir blushed. “I saw to her needs.”

  “You’re still burning, aren’t you, moonbeam?” Bex kissed the top of her head.

  She nodded weakly, but she’d put up with anything as long as she was surrounded by her men. “We’ll take care of you. We’ll never leave you again. Blanket, Cir, I’m not making love to our sheraz in the med bay, even if you weren’t able to resist.”

  “I feel so weak,” she admitted.

  Bex smiled warmly with a hint of mischief. He tilted her head back to give her a long, deep, bone-melting kiss. “I said we’d take care of you, our love, so just relax. By the fire gods, we’ve got a lot to make up for.”

  “We do have the battle to prepare for.” Loz rubbed his chin where she’d slapped him, a sappy grin on his face. Cir handed Bex a blanket and he quickly wrapped her and lifted her into his arms.

  “Battle?”

  “You don’t think we’d let the now ex-High Councillors get away with doing this? If they thought nothing about abusing you, what else have they done in the past, and would do in the future? Best they be removed from power.”

  In walked the same two who had interrupted the bonding proceedings, much to Daisy’s relief.

  “Moonbeam, these are the High Lords, Gol and Hul.”

  They smiled and gave her a slight bow. “Our wife, Kat, is human and we have beautiful twin daughters. They are the envy of all of Galafrax, for never have twin girls been born before. We were only too happy to help once we heard that a human female was in danger,” Gol said.

  “It reflects badly on us as a people if we can’t take care of our females and abuse them,” Hul added.

  “Thank you for coming, for helping.” Daisy gave a weak smile at the handsome Lords. She could see why any human woman could easily fall for these Demos––they radiated power and sex appeal, although nothing could compare to her men.

  “Our pleasure. We can’t take all the credit for your and their rescue. It was Bex’s communications which made this possible. He’s quite the schemer.”

  Daisy felt Bex shrug as he held her close to his body. “There’s nothing I won’t do to keep our sheraz safe. I could only hope, my Lords, you felt the same.”

  Daisy's sex throbbed between her legs. She squirmed weakly, burying her face against Bex’s shoulders.

  “You need to take care of her, use her quarters here in the Palace. We will wait until she is recovered to proceed with the challenge.” Daisy only half listened, her fingers curled around Bex’s shoulder seam, managing to lift her head enough to lick his neck.

  “Need you,” she purred throatily.

  Bex shuddered. “Appreciated,” he said, his voice tight with desire. He lifted her higher, giving her better access to his throat where she nibbled on his salty skin.

  Bex moaned. “Daisy, love, I…”

  “It’s clear where the affection is here. You’d better go before Bex loses it in his pants.” Gol and Hul chuckled.

  “Take her, Bex, we’ll meet up with you soon. You more than deserve to have her to yourself for a while.” She heard the rumble of Loz’s voice.

  If she weren’t so desperate and needy, she would have laughed at how tightly he gripped her as he ran through the palace halls. The air ruffled her hair and teased her heated skin, but her sole focus was on Bex, his arms around her.

  The door slammed and she was laid down on the soft bedding of her room. She opened her eye
s to peer up into his golden eyes, swirling with deep desire.

  “You’re so beautiful. Daisy, it’s been agony without you,” he breathed, dipping his head to kiss her long and deep. Despite her exhaustion, she writhed under him.

  Slowly, he unwrapped the blanket from her body, lifting his head to peer down at her. “You steal my breath, moonbeam.”

  She lifted her hand, sliding it down and easily finding his protruding member, gripping it through his pants. Bex groaned. Unable to help the warm flush of emotion, she loved that she had turned him on, and knowing she affected all her men made her even wetter.

  His gaze dropped to her breasts, licking his lips as if already tasting them.

  “Not fair, Bex, that I’m naked and you’re not.” Her voice was husky and desperate. Bex unzipped the side of his uniform and peeled it off.

  God, she never got tired of gazing at their tight, rippling stomachs and toned muscular shoulders. Red was her favourite colour ever. He moved back to unfasten his pants and shove them down. His massive cock sprung free and more wetness slipped between her thighs knowing just how wonderful any of their cocks felt sliding deep inside her.

  Bex gripped his cock and stroked it, a wicked gleam in his eyes. He moved over her, his fingers in gentle exploration trailing down her heated skin. Each inch he touched, he followed with his mouth, leaving a wet trail with his open-mouthed kisses, licking and sucking.

  He groaned. “I love your chest mounds,” he groaned, lavishing extensive attention on each breast and nipple, having her cry out, pushing her close to climax.

  His finger slipped between her thighs and slid along her wet pussy. He parted her wet folds and intense pleasure shot through her.

  “Oh, yes, Bex,” she whimpered as he slipped two fingers effortlessly inside her. His thumb instantly found her clit and massaged her swollen nub in small circles until she was squealing.

  Pleasure consumed her, her hand on his cock, jacking it with slow strokes but she needed it deep inside her instead of his fingers.

  “You’re so wet, my love,’ Bex moaned, twisting and plunging his fingers deep inside her cunt. “Are you ready for my rod?”

  “Yes please, Bex, don’t make me wait, oh, oh!”

  Daisy's throat was almost raw with her rapid breathing as his fingers drove deeper and faster into her soaked hole and she could feel her clit growing numb as he rubbed it vigorously. Her body seized, her head tossed back as she cried out.

  “There’s so much I want to do to you, explore, taste and tease. And I will, but right now I know how much you need me.”

  His fingers were gone and instead she felt the tip of his swollen erection stretching her pussy as he pressed into her.

  Still quaking from her orgasm, her walls clenched around him, making him groan as he drove into her, pushing deeper until he filled her completely.

  “Oh, Bex, yes, you feel so good, I… I love you!”

  One hand cupped her breast and he leaned in his mouth, claiming hers. Gently nipping and sucking her tender lips, he kissed her passionately, moaning under his breath. She groaned against him as he shifted, pulling out to plunge back in.

  “Fire demons, you’re so tight around me... hot... wet...” he whispered, lacing his fingers in her hair, gripping her scalp to keep control of her head, and angling to take his kisses how and when he wanted.

  In and out in a slow rhythm, thrusting deeper into her pussy each time, his body slammed against her swollen clit and the friction was causing thrills to shoot through her until she was ready to lose control again.

  Moaning, Bex thrust his tongue into her mouth and she met it forcefully, their passion rising as her orgasm exploded all over his cock. He pushed relentlessly in and out of her. Wave after wave of pleasure consumed her, extending her climax.

  Through the dimness, floating so high, she felt Bex’s cock swelling inside her, growing harder by the second as it filled her. His firm dick pressed so tightly against her inner walls she could barely breathe anymore.

  With one last thrust, Bex’s cock slipped along her swollen clit and set her whole body on fire. At the same time, she felt him drive deep and release his hot load into her womb.

  “Oh, by the fire gods!” He moaned breathlessly. “That’s it, my love, take all I have to give.”

  Daisy whimpered and, as her pussy clamped tight around him, he pulsed repeatedly, emptying inside her. Electricity shot through her entire body as she trembled under him then sagged in utter exhaustion, sleep dimming the fringes of her mind, barely aware of Bex falling forward, caging her in, raining kisses on her face and hair.

  “Can’t…. stay… awake.”

  “Sleep, beautiful, you need your rest. Trust that we have you, always. I love you too. You own our hearts forever.”

  Her lips curved in a sleepy smile, and Daisy sighed in utter contentment as she let her mind fall, knowing she was safe in Bex’s and all her men’s keeping.

  Chapter Thirteen

  Bex glanced up from the screen in the room she’d been provided as his brothers strode in unannounced. He figured they wouldn’t stay away too long and was grateful they’d allowed him time alone with her.

  The succession was over, now any of them could touch and fuck her in any order or together. His lips tipped up in a grin at the many wonderful things he wanted to try with her and his brothers, and bring the most pleasure they could to their little human mate.

  “From his grin I can only assume he is scheming again.” Cir moved to the bed where Daisy still lay sleeping, sitting down and running the med scanner over her.

  “You bathed her after?”

  “You need to ask?” Bex bristled indignantly. He’d always taken care of her needs.

  Cir shrugged, studying his scanner. “The drugs are dissipating from her system so she’ll recover well.”

  Bex nodded his approval.

  “We need to talk about our battle strategy for the arena.”

  Loz had taken a seat on lower end of the bed while Tos sat beside where Daisy's head rested on the pillow. How delicate and frail she looked in sleep. The need to protect her from everything only grew stronger with each passing heartbeat.

  How natural it was to gravitate towards her, needing to be near, like a flower needing heat from the sun.

  Bex snorted at Loz’s words. “Why do we need any strategies when we have him?” He inclined his head towards Tos. “It’s like tossing a lopper grenade into a pit with men who have no shielding.”

  “As much as I applaud your confidence in Tos, there are four of them.”

  “As if it matters to me.” Tos snorted this time.

  “Still, the rules call for quad battle. All must participate or forfeit.”

  “Always hated that rule,” grumbled Tos. He’d leaned in to gently run his fingers through Daisy's soft white hair. For such a brutal warrior, his touch was no doubt the gentlest when it came to their female.

  “We could just stand there and applaud Tos’s slaughter of the ex-High Councillors,” Bex shrugged casually.

  Tos glared at him.

  “You want him to be the only one who delivers justice?” Loz asked.

  Fuck no, Bex glared at his oldest brother, whose lips curved up in a knowing smile. Yeah, they all wanted a piece of those assholes, including Cir. “We fight together and together we deliver justice.”

  Bex wasn’t going to argue. They did make a stronger force working together than apart.

  “You know she’s not going to like the fact we will be fighting.” Tos dropped her hair strands to run his fingers over the curve of her jawline.

  Cir sighed sitting back and watching as Tos caressed her. “Maybe we shouldn’t let her go to the arena.”

  “Then you’ll be getting the next slap.” Loz rubbed his the side of his face again. “Not that I didn’t deserve it.”

  Another point with which Bex wasn’t going to argue.

  “We will help her to understand the need for this challenge. We’ll persuade her,
in our own way.” Bex laced his tone with heavy suggestion, making all his brothers chuckle.

  “Just what are you doing?” Loz finally caught on to where Bex’s attention lay.

  “Breaking into the palace comm system.” Bex kept his tone casual, as he always did doing something he shouldn’t be.

  This time his brothers didn’t even blink. Tos grinned at him. “What did you find?”

  “The system here had been rerouted, going straight to the Councillors' chambers. All of her attempts to contact us, and there were quite a few logged here, were blocked by them.”

  “Dickheads,” Cir growled.

  Daisy stirred, drawing all their attention. Loz lowered his voice to a soft tone, not wanting to wake her. Tos removed his hand from her skin.

  Bex's fingers worked to transfer the information he’d gleaned over to his personal operating system before joining his brothers and their sheraz. He noticed them all watching him with expectant expressions.

  “What?”

  “Don’t you have another genius plan?” Tos asked.

  “I’m the brains, not the brawn. Fighting is yours and Loz’s area of expertise. I know when to pick up the reins and when to step back. You lead, oh brothers, Cir and I will follow.”

  Loz nodded, glancing at Tos. “They will be not as practiced in hand to hand combat, so I have an idea how we can handle them. We also need to counter the possibility of foul play when it comes to the now ex-Councillors, so here’s my plan…”

  Bex listened carefully to Loz’s battle plan, grinning at how well his family worked together to get things done. There was no limit to what they could achieve together if they wanted, but their hearts desire lay sleeping in the bed between them. They would protect her and their new little family with the same limitless power, forever.

  * * * *

  Like nearly everything on Galafrax, including the infrastructure, the arena had been built to accommodate groups of four, with the addition of a female here and there.

  The large stadium, square and the size of a football pitch, was rounded off with four twenty-foot high, carved quad statues in each corner. Each statue held out a large carved sword at an angle over the sands and the combatants.
