“Are you hungry or thirsty?”
I look down at the ground and shake my head. I don’t want his kindness at a time like this. Just do what you’re going to do and get it over with.
He slumps down on the bench next to my cage. His shoulders sag, and he hangs his head with a deep sigh. “I was never so glad to get away from everyone. I’m glad there’s no one here but you. You can’t imagine how exhausted I am.”
I don’t respond. I’m aching all over from that dream.
“I’m sorry it took so long to get back here to you. I know you must be hungry and thirsty and tired, but I got back as soon as I could. I had to meet the new Zerq leader, and we had to conclude a peace treaty. Then there was the official banquet and the prize giving. I had to stay a while before I left.”
He waits for me to say something, but when I don’t answer, his head shoots up. “Are you all right?”
I shift in my cage. “I’m fine.”
He frowns. “What’s wrong with you?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“What do you want me to say?”
“I don’t know. Yell and scream and kick and fight. Tell me how you want me to let you go and send you back to Earth.”
“I already did that, and you said it was impossible. What’s the point of doing it again now?”
He studies me. “There’s something wrong with you. What is it?”
His constant questions start to annoy me. “Why do you ask that? I’m not here to be your companion. I’m your prize. You won me in the tournament, so just take me and get it over with. Don’t pretend you care about me when you’re incapable of caring about me.”
“What makes you think I’m incapable of caring about you?”
I turn on him with bared teeth. “I’m locked in a cage. If you cared about me, you would at least let me out before you tried to talk to me. Do you really think I can have anything to do with you when I’m a prisoner and a slave for your pleasure.”
He stares at me for a minute. Then he puts out his hand and pops the lock on the cage. The door swings open. “Come out, then. Nothing’s stopping you.”
I hesitate. Is this some kind of trick? Then I jump at the chance. I step out of the cage and move away from it, but he waves me toward him. “Come here and sit down. I want to talk to you.”
I’m in no hurry to go near him, though. Talk―yeah, right! That must be some sort of sexual innuendo on this planet.
He waits, but when I don’t obey him, he pats the bench next to him, on the side away from the cage. “You have nothing to fear. I won’t hurt you.”
In the end, I sit down next to him. If I’m going to do this, I guess there’s no point prolonging the inevitable. His presence brings back the sensations from my dream. I’m on fire for his love.
He turns toward me. “Now, tell me why you want to return to Earth so badly.”
His question takes me by surprise. “You would want to return to your home planet, too, if strangers abducted you by force and dragged you off to an alien planet to be some kind of sexual currency.”
He listens with curious attention. “I would want to return to my family and my home, but you don’t have that. I saw the records on you. You have no family and no real home. You barely have any friends. What do you have to return to?”
I shift in my seat. “I admit my family is not great. My dad left when I was young, and my mom became an alcoholic. She couldn’t take care of me and my sister, and we wound up in foster care. I guess that’s why I don’t spend much time with my family. I worked my tail off putting myself through college and making myself a successful career, but I guess I never learned how to let people get close to me. I learned early on not to depend on anybody but myself.”
“What about the woman who reported your missing?”
“That’s Tanya. We used to spend lots of time together, but nowadays, she spends most of her time with her boyfriend. Now she’s getting married, so our friendship happens mostly by text.”
“I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe you could find what you’re looking for here instead.”
I snort. “You mean find it here with you? That’s a laugh.”
“Why is it a laugh? Why is it so hard to imagine?”
“I’m not a person to you. I’m just a good time. When you’re finished with me, you’ll get rid of me, and that will be the end of it. I can never make my home here, and I have no more reason to trust you than any other guy I’ve ever been with. In fact, I have every reason in the world not to trust you.”
He listens and nods, but says nothing. I’m just starting to think about walking away when he breaks the silence. “Maybe you hate me because I have a family and you don’t, but you’re not the only one who’s unhappy.”
My eyes pop open. “Unhappy? You? How could you be, after what you just told me about having a home and family?”
He lowers his eyes to the floor. “I haven’t been happy since my father died a few months ago.”
“Your father?”
He nods. “He was leader of our people for decades, and he was the greatest leader you can imagine. Now I have to fill his shoes, and I no longer have the one person I used to rely on to help me in times like these.”
My heart softens toward him. I’m not the only person in the galaxy with troubles. “What are you going to do?”
“There’s nothing I can do. As the eldest child, I’ve been destined for the leadership position from birth. I take the job seriously, but it’s not what I thought it would be. I thought it would be rewarding. Instead, it’s a chore. Fortunately, I have Axl to help me.”
I sit up straight. “Axl?”
“He takes on some of the most difficult duties. He’s really a second leader. I don’t know what I would do without him, but nothing can take my father’s place. Axl feels the same way, so we lean on each other.”
My hand goes out to him. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything to bring up painful feelings.”
“You have nothing to be sorry about. You are the first bright spot in our otherwise dreary existence.”
“Our?”
His eyes gravitate to my face. “Rekyl women are quiet and subservient. You are so different from them. No Rekyl woman would shout and curse me the way you did. You captivated us the first time we saw you, and we determined to win you.”
I swallow hard. “Who is ‘we’?”
At that moment, the door opens again. I jump three feet in the air. I thought it was locked. I whirl around and my mouth falls open when I see Axl walk into the room. He stands in front of Rami and regards me with that direct gaze of his.
“What the devil is going on here?”
“I told you Axl is my brother. He’s like my shadow, and he’s joint leader with me.”
I don’t like where this is going. “So what’s he doing here? I thought you were supposed to....you know.”
“I thought you might like both of us.”
I spin around the other way. “What?”
“You like us both,” Rami replied. “You find both of us appealing. We both noticed that at the landing center. I won you for both of us, to share. Now we’re here.”
I stare back and forth between them. “To share? Both of you? You’re insane.”
“Are we?” Rami stands up. “Is it really so insane? Think about it. You may find you like the idea.”
I turn my back on him, but I can’t answer. My mind churns in turmoil. This can’t be happening. Not even I would be crazy enough to go through with this. One alien man is bad enough, but two? No way!
Rami walks up behind me, and his presence fills my whole body with electric warmth. He breathes my name. “Lena.”
A squirrely feeling burns down my flesh and into my loins. I can’t get myself under control. He’s right. I want this.
He murmurs into my ear again. “Lena.”
I can’t speak above a whisper. “Yes.”
“You want us both, don’t you? You want to give yourself to us without reservations, don’t you?”
I open my mouth, but no sound comes out. I’m on fire already, and neither of them has laid a hand on me.
All of a sudden, Axl steps in front of me. He dominates my whole field of view. His dark eyes burn into my soul. I lock my eyes on his face. He grounds me. I can get through this if I concentrate on him.
The old attraction draws me to him. I want him. I want him to touch me and possess me and complete me. At the same time, Rami comes up behind me. They enclose me in front and behind. I can’t get away, but I don’t want to get away. I want to be theirs. I want to be here, and I want to be home.
Their power stimulates me beyond imagining. Axl’s face hovers before my eyes. He leans down to kiss me as Rami puts his arms around me from behind. I don’t have to question anymore. I’m where I need to be.
Axl’s kiss drives the fear and doubt out of my mind. A man doesn’t kiss like that if he doesn’t care about a woman. I expected his tongue to be cold and slimy like Itchi’s tentacles, but it’s warm and delicious. The wetness of his tongue eases down my body and spreads its warmth between my legs. God, this is getting me so turned on! I’ve never been this turned on in my life.
At the same time, Rami’s hands find their way over my body. They cradle my breasts and follow my curves. He nuzzles into my neck, and I lean my head against his with a profound sigh of contentment. I let myself go to my deepest desires.
Rami pinches my nipples, and that excites me even more. My mouth opens to let Axl’s tongue dance with mine. Axl’s hands drop down to my secret openings, where he finds me open and ready. He twirls his fingers in my vital essence, and the perfumed vapors intoxicate me into a ferment.
I rotate my hips around on his hand, and he pumps his fingers into my cleft. The nectar stains his fingers, and he touches the forbidden gates of my pleasure. Rami rubs his bulging manhood into me from behind. I want it. I crave it. I demand it. I lean back into him and rub my hips against his hardening point. He growls into my neck.
All three of us tumble over onto the cushions, and they roll me back and forth between them. I face first Rami, then Axl. Their lips devour my mouth, my breasts, my ripe fruit. I moan and sigh and sob for their attention. Between kissing them, I find their throbbing bodies shoved into my mouth. I suck and lick and gulp at them in craven desire.
Axl towers over me, and I gaze up along his chiseled chest to his burning eyes. He glares down at me with his tool in my mouth, and he bares his teeth when I suck it down into my throat.
Rami dives between my legs and titillates me to screams of ecstasy. I buck against his face, and his tentacles explore every nook and cranny of my tortured flesh. My wetness mingles with their slimy sinews. I can’t contain my rising passion. I want every part of them inside me.
Then Rami rises and turns me over onto my hands and knees. I arch my back to him and meet his intruding shaft with lusty pulses of my rounded hips. He grips my back end with his superhuman power and invades me to my limit with his manly meat.
Axl thrusts his rod deeper into my throat, and I can’t have enough of it. I swallow him whole into the nether reaches of my throat while Rami bumps his pelvis against me from behind. Oh, God, yes, I want it so bad!
Rami bares his teeth and growls down at me. “Yes. Yes. That’s what you like, isn’t it? Oh, yes.”
Axl laces his fingers into my hair and commands my head. He fills my world with his rock hard slab. I’m full of both of them. They fill me to the brim and leave no space empty.
Somewhere in all that pumping and thrusting, they switch places. I don’t know the moment that it happens. I only know I look up at the man in front of me and find Rami’s piece in my mouth. Over my shoulder, Axl works his shaft into my gaping slit and penetrates to the hilt.
All night long, they take turns in every imaginable position. Rami lays down underneath me and licks my engorged petals. I grind my sensitive nub on his face while Axl drives into me from behind. I suck Rami’s thing until orgasm induces me to let it go in high-pitched screams to heaven.
Rami sits on the bench and Axl sits me down on his lap facing away from him. Rami pokes his spike into my fissure for me to sit down on. I gyrate it down to my innermost core, and Rami maneuvers my hips in gentle circles. Axl drops on his knees in front of me and licks my spread flower until I cream all over his face.
Rami throws his head back in loud gasping groans, and my squirting orgasm joins his erupting ejaculation to flow over the bench underneath us. Axl laps my dripping honey, and his fingers and tentacles delve into lost worlds of pleasure and togetherness.
When does it end? It never does. I lie between them. I’m kissing somebody, and something strong and thick glides into me. Is it coming from in front or from behind? Something stimulates my tissues, my every opening. Mouths close around my flesh. I can’t see who it is, and I don’t care. I am one with both of them. I belong to both of them, and I am complete.
Chapter 5
I wake up the next morning to Rami and Axl whispering to each other across the room. I sit up and rub my eyes. “What’s going on?”
“We’re just discussing our business for the day.”
“Great. I was hoping to get out and explore the city today. Maybe you guys would like to come with me.”
“We can’t,” Axl replies. “We have state business today.”
“Besides,” Rami adds, “you can’t go out. You have to stay here.”
“What for? If you’re not here, I’ll be alone.”
“You can’t leave this room. You have to stay here.”
I jolt to my feet. “For how long?”
“The tournament rules state you belong to us―at least, to the winner―for a year. After that, you will be assigned to one of the brothels in the city where the other human women go.”
I blink at them. I can’t be hearing this from the same guys who just made love to me all night long. Then I burst into action. I pace around the room, and I can’t stop my voice rising in agitation. “You can’t keep me locked up in here for a year and then throw me out on the street. You have to let me get back to Earth. You said you cared about me. How can you do this to me? You’re both liars. You’re space pirates. I never should have trusted you. I should have kept my guard up, even if it meant you had to take me by force. I should have known better than to think you could be any different.” I’m really ranting now, but I can’t stop.
Axl and Rami exchange glances. Then Axl comes toward me. He takes me by the shoulders and stops me from pacing. “You didn’t make a mistake to trust us. We do care about you, and we’ll prove it to you.”
“Then let me go free. That’s the only way I’ll believe you.”
They hold a hasty conference in whispers with many excited gestures. Finally, Rami comes toward me. “We’ve decided to make an exception for you. You’ll be allowed to roam freely in the city, and if you really want to return to Earth at the end of the year, you can go back with Axl when he selects next year’s prize.”
I hate to think about another woman going through what I’m going through, but this is the best I can hope for. I embrace them both. “Thank you so much. You don’t know what this means to me.”
The two of them go back to their work, and I follow the road back to the city. Before I leave, Axl gives me a big wide robe to cover my clothes. It works wonders to keep the desert wind from covering me with dust.
I spend hours wandering around the city and taking in all the strange sights. I find the market and study all the fascinating foods and animals for sale. I’m just starting to get used to the idea of spending the next year of my life here when two big Rekyl men stop me in the middle of the street. “What are you doing out here?”
I don’t understand the problem. “I’m just looking around. I’ve never been here before.”
“I recognize you from the tournament,” one of them says. “You’re the victor’s prize.” He
grabs my arm.
“Hey! What are you doing?”
He jerks me around. “Don’t try to fool me. You’re running away, and I’m taking you back. Now march!”
I struggle, but they overpower me with ease. They tie my hands behind my back and drag me back to Rami’s house. They throw me into the same room, but at the same moment, Rami and Axl show up. “What’s going on here?”
The two men square their shoulders. “We found your prize wandering the streets. We brought her back for you.”
I turn on Rami. “You said I was free to walk around. Was that all a lie?”
“Of course not.” He turns to the men. “You had no right to tie her up or to interfere with her movement around the city. This woman may be my prize, but she is not a prisoner here. You will not interfere with her again. Is that understood?”
They stare at him in stunned surprise. Then they bow their heads. “Yes, sir.”
“Untie her.”
They get the job done quick and make themselves scarce. Rami waits until the door shuts behind them. “I’m sorry that happened, but you must understand no other prize has every had freedom like this. I will pass word to the other constables to leave you alone.”
“Thank you.”
So that’s how I wound up here, on the planet Aranon. That was six months ago, and every morning, when Axl and Rami go to work, I go out into the city. I visit my friends and just last month, I started working in the market. It’s not exactly Wall Street, but it’s work I enjoy.
Every evening, I come back to this same room, where Rami and Axl and I share the evening meal and catch up on our day’s activities. Then we all fall into bed together and I roll in their arms until we all fall asleep in mutual delight and exhaustion. I never experienced such passionate desire and fulfillment from any man on Earth.
That could be from their well-endowed bodies, but I don’t think so. When they walk into the room, their eyes bore into me and my body overflows with raging, pulsating hunger. My flesh aches for their touch, and nothing will satisfy my until I give myself to them body and soul.
Is this what it means to be an alien sex slave, to have their monstrous erections driven into my craven openings every night, to be brought to the dizzying heights of heavenly rapture by two men who possess every part of me?
