Viper's Hope (Anguis Defenders Book 1)

by Stephanie West

  "Hope, how did you get free?" Viper caressed her cheek.

  "I used their prejudice that human woman must be weak against them." Hope stared up Viper's chest. His head was propped on a pillow as he looked down at her with intrigue. "They assumed I was just a scared girl incapable of standing up for myself. So I cried till they felt sorry for me, then faked getting sick." Hope made big puppy dog eyes at Viper and he laughed.

  Viper shifted sliding free of her body and they both groaned. They rolled to their sides, still holding on to each other.

  "Remind me not to fall for that look." Viper said as he shook his head.

  "Too late!" Hope grinned at him. "Anyway I escaped when they thought I was passed out ill in the bathroom. They chased me but I kept running down different streets till I found others. Then I recognized the elderly couple's shop and knew I could trust them."

  "Smart female. Some males have no honor." Viper rumbled. "You are too brave for your own good. I am glad you got away but you could've been seriously hurt."

  Hope could see the horror in his eyes as he thought of what could've happened.

  "I didn't know if they planned on doing worse once Wyvern arrived." Hope frowned.

  Viper closed his eyes. His brow creased.

  "What am I going to do with you?!" Viper growled as he leaned in and nuzzled her.

  "Enjoy the ride?" Hope suggested.

  Viper was very disturbed, probably more than Hope was about what had happened. This wasn't her first kidnapping after all.

  "You know I think I have just the thing to keep my brave female in line."

  Viper leaned back, looked up and down her nude body with appreciation in his shuttered gaze. He sat up, leaned over the edge of the bed and pulled a box out from beneath it.

  "I learned about some very interesting things from your internet. I thought at first it had to be untrue, but seeing how you respond to my touch...."

  Viper rolled across Hope's stomach so she couldn't see what he pulled from the box.

  "What do you have in that box?"

  The wicked look he turned and gave her had Hope excited, curious and a bit nervous.

  "Something I replicated. You aren't shy in the bedroom so I wanted to do a little experiment."

  Hope felt Viper spread a cool slippery gel through the still sensitive folds of her cleft and a gasp caught in her throat.

  Viper's one hand gripped her wrists to keep her from interfering as he pushed her knees wider.

  Hope tried to see what he was doing but the rotten man intentionally blocked her view. He stroked her nether lips lazily and the oil that coated her sensitive tissue began to heat up. It made every cell come alive as he traced the rim of her vagina. Viper teased Hope's clit but refused to give her any satisfaction.

  Hope growled at him. He wasn't the only one capable of it.

  "So demanding, and so very sexy." The rumble of Viper's voice was foreplay all on its own.

  Hope gasped as he placed something like a suction cup on her clit. It latched on and stayed in place. When it started to vibrate Hope cried out and nearly bucked off the bed.

  "Too much?" Viper's eyes moved from her pussy to her face.

  Hope nodded emphatically, her pale hair sticking in the sweat that erupted on her brow. She was already sensitive from their earlier aggressive love making, this was too much too fast. Viper turned down the speed on the wicked toy that thrummed mercilessly at her clit and Hope relaxed, though not much, since his fingers continued to explore her weeping slit with the warming oil.

  "I like how slippery you get for me, but this lubricant is fun too." Viper bent down and blew gently on her vagina.

  The instant cool sensation added to Hope's delicious misery. What the hell had he learned online. It made her hot and cold at the same time, an erotic juxtaposition.

  "I love how it makes you quiver." Viper licked his lips as he gazed wantonly at her cleft."Keep your hands where they are." Viper growled his lust filled, stern demand.

  Hope clasped the headboard holding on for dear life.

  Viper shifted between Hope's legs gripping her thighs in both arms. He held her splayed as he continued to torture her with soft puffs of frigid air, followed by warm caresses with his tongue that heated her folds. The alternating sensations along with the steady hum at her clit had Hope panting and quaking in no time.

  Viper released one thigh then trailed his finger through her moisture to the tight opening of her ass.

  "I didn't realize females could take a male here. As much as I'd like to try that I think I am much too large for you." Viper husked as he spread the oil and her own desire down her cleft, circling her ass.

  Hope breathed a sigh of relief. She'd never been penetrated there, but she was certain Viper was way too big.

  "But I have noticed how very sensitive you are." Viper's words trailed off as he played with her puckered rosette.

  The tip of a finger worked the cooling gel into her dark opening and the rogue couldn't resist blowing on it to intensify the feeling.

  A moan pushed past Hope's lips as Viper added a second digit, stretching her. She closed her eyes and tossed her head back and forth in denial. This was not something she'd been expecting. The frenetic humming on her swollen clit mixed with the darkly erotic sensation in her ass, had Hope's womb clenching in need. Her thighs trembled, her stomach fluttered. Hope had to concentrate just to keep from flying apart at the seams.

  Viper pulled his fingers free and Hope felt something else replace them. When her eyes flew open, she saw a smaller version of his ribbed cock as Viper slipped the head of it into her restricted passage. Back and forth Viper stroked the toy, coating it in more of that fire and ice lubricant as he incrementally impaled her ass.

  "Viper." Hope's breath caught and Viper looked up at her face. She must have looked worried.

  "If it's too much tell me." Viper groaned, his heated gaze making her even hotter.

  Hope shook her head biting her lip hard. She didn't want him to stop. The carnal thrill gripped her, swiftly ratcheting higher.

  Viper turned up the vibrator latched onto her clit and Hope's breath burst forth with a gasp. This time when he stroked and pushed the long toy into her ass Hope couldn't help but cry out. Her pussy spasmed hard, a flood of moisture spilling forth.

  "Look at how you sheath weeps as I fuck your rear." Viper growled. "So desperate to be filled."

  "Yes." Hope cried out. "Viper please."

  While Viper worked the fake cock into her, the fingers of his other hand pressed into her pussy, grinding against her G-spot. Soon Hope was writhing and hyperventilating as the wet sounds of her dual penetration filled the room.

  "Is this what you need?"

  Yes, his fingers felt amazing stretching her vagina. She already felt so full, but Hope needed Viper. She craved his cock. She wanted to feel him pin her body as he surged inside her. Hope couldn't voice her need as she panted, so she just thrashed her head.

  Viper persisted, staring intently at her stretched opening, till the toy was lodged deep in her ass then the wicked bastard turned it on.

  Hope bucked and tried to pull away from the insane sensation but Viper held her hips captive. The thing writhing and undulating inside her ass along with the persistent buzz at her swollen nub was too much. Hope was quickly coming unglued.

  Hope was wrong. Too much was when Viper knelt between her thighs and started to push his cock into her sopping pussy. The impending climax deluded her into thinking she could handle the beast of a man.

  Viper's thick cock pulsed and throbbed as he pressed ever deeper.

  Hope whimpered. She was so incredibly full.

  Viper sat up on his knees between her splayed thighs so he could watch as his cock disappeared inch by torturous inch into her body.

  Hope thought she felt every bit of him before, now it was unavoidable.

  When Viper was buried to the hilt, he closed his eyes. The look on his face was sublime. His lips parted showing his f
angs with that sexy feral look that turned her on.

  "Goddess you are so tight. You feel so good." Viper snarled as his mouth roamed her neck.

  Viper's cock moved in and out of her stretched channel pushing against the toy that invaded her ass. The sensual drug that his body exuded struck her blood stream and Hope started to shake uncontrollably. The dark pleasure raked at every nerve. The acute ache inside from her spasming muscles increased begging for cataclysmic release.

  Viper hammered faster, driving her into the bed.

  Viper's increased pace had Hope thrashing on the bed crying out god knows what. She begged and demanded incoherent things.

  "Come for me now." Viper snarled as he latched onto her shoulder and ground into her body.

  Hearing his sensual demand, Hope splintered. Her back bowed off the bed as she was whipped into a vortex of euphoria.

  There was only Viper, and he was everywhere at once as she spiraled out of control. The pounding heat, the pleasure, the delicious erotic ache. Hope detonated with an ear shattering scream. Light flickered before her eyes and then Hope succumbed to the dark.

  Viper

  Tremors wracked Hope's entire body. She begged him to stop and cursed him not to, in the same breath. Her tight sheath milked Viper as she said the dirtiest things he'd ever heard coming from a female's lips.

  Then Hope stilled for a brief glorious instant before shattering like a super nova, propelling Viper into the orgasm he was desperately holding at bay. Hope's face contorted in ecstasy as her scream of pleasure rocked his very soul.

  Viper pulled free of her quickly spilling his seed on her blonde curly mound. He didn't want to swell with the toy still in her rear for fear of hurting her.

  Viper looked up at Hope and realized she wasn't conscious. He didn't know if he should be proud or concerned. Viper removed both toys and tossed them aside to deal with later, then pulled Hope into his arms.

  "Maybe my deviant plan worked too well." Viper thought as he stroked Hope's hair.

  "Hope?"

  "Hmmm." Her voice came out languid.

  "Are you okay beautiful?"

  "Mmm hmm." Was her sluggish reply.

  "You want me to turn on the vibrator again?" Viper couldn't help but tease seeing that she was okay.

  Hope's eyes flew open.

  "Don't you dare or I'll use that thing on you!" Hope stared Viper down with all seriousness.

  Viper shuddered at the thought of being on the receiving end of at least one of those toys.

  "Well I guess I deserved that. I'll get rid of them." Viper moved to get up.

  "Just put them away for tonight." Hope smiled lazily at him.

  Viper returned a wicked grin of his own.

  "I knew my female had a shameless carnal streak."

  "I blame you." Hope yawned as she snuggled close.

  Hope and Viper were up a few hours later. It was as long as he could hold her concerned family and friends off, insisting that Hope needed to rest after her ordeal. The group swarmed into the living space. Little Justice and Charity looked confused. Cody looked tight lipped and concerned. Tara, Faith and even JP were teary eyed.

  "I am fine everyone." Hope announced. "You know I'm too stubborn to go down without a fight."

  "What did you do Aunt Hope? Mommy cried all night." Charity admonished her aunt, not really knowing what happened.

  "I got a little lost sweetie." Hope didn't want to scare the children.

  "You are supposed to find a policeman and tell him your name and address." Justice piped up.

  Faith smiled through her bleary eyes now that her family was reunited.

  "Justice, Aunt Hope probably didn't know her address." Charity informed her little brother. The children turned to Viper.

  "Uncle Viper what's our address?" Justice asked.

  Viper smiled at the human familial term the little ones called him.

  "Human colony, pod three." He told the children and watched them mimic him.

  "Did you hear that Aunt Hope? Now don't wander off again. Mommy was very worried!"

  Viper could tell that someone had said this to Charity before by the stern tone of her voice. It sounded very adult. Any other occasion and Viper would have laughed.

  "I will remember." Hope said as she hugged the children and her sister.

  When Hope turned to Tara, she noted the dark circles under the females eyes. Hope's friend looked exhausted.

  "Tara I'm okay."

  Tara nodded.

  Viper knew for a fact Tara had stayed at Ophidian's bedside the entire night. The female looked like Viper felt, beat to shit.

  "Ophidian was injured in the skirmish yesterday." Viper told Hope.

  "Will he be alright?" Hope asked with concern, looking Tara over as she gripped her friend.

  "Yes the stubborn man is lucky he has two hearts." Tara replied "He just needs a lot of bed rest to heal."

  "Has my friend awoken yet?" Viper asked.

  "Briefly and he tried to get out of bed. I had to threaten him with bodily harm." Tara told Viper with a look of consternation on her face. It sounded about right. Ophidian was stubborn in every way imaginable.

  "Let's go see him." Hope said.

  "Good cause I bet he's awake and bullying the staff again." Tara huffed.

  Hope looked at Viper and they shared a knowing glance. Their friends liked each other.

  "That will be good. I can give him a hard time for doing a poor job as a shield." Viper shook his head.

  Tara gave him a wry smile. It was good, the female was too serious. It took a lot to kill the Anguis. Ophidian was past the worst part, he would be fine, thank Kadru. But Tara, similar to Hope, would make good on her threat and make sure his friend healed completely. Poor Ophidian, he had no clue the human doctor would keep him in line in, whether he liked it or not.

  "We can all eat, and I can get a security update too."

  "Do you think there are some other kids we can play with in that room that has all the balls?" Justice asked referring to the rec room.

  "We'll see." Faith replied as she sidled up to Viper. Hope scooped up Charity as they headed out the door. "I assume you are on top of this?" Faith asked seriously. She was clearly upset her sister had been taken. She wasn't the only one..

  "Your ingenious sister got free before whoever has infiltrated our camp could be caught. But I promise you this, she will no longer leave my side!"

  "Good." Faith replied. "I can't believe I'm saying this but that makes me feel better. Now to the next topic. I'm a school teacher, and I imagine there are others here. Is there a way we can set-up a school for the children?"

  Viper liked that this female was no nonsense like Hope. She was a survivor. All the human females in his new family were. Viper felt intense pride as he looked at them.

  "We attempt to get the children and adults acclimated to this world, basic things like what's edible, what animals to avoid. Would you mind assisting the Anguis with these things as well as any other lessons you deem fit?"

  "No I welcome it, actually. What are your goals regarding integrating our children with yours?" Faith inquired.

  "That is my wish, though it may take some time." Viper smiled at Faith then looked at Hope.

  "Children are a good place to start. If Anguis children from willing parents can be brought here to play and learn, it will have a beneficial long term affect."

  Faith was right. Children could be rotten, but they could also be very accepting. If they learned to be together when they were young it would only make the Anguis and human combined future better.

  "Excellent idea."

  "Are you two planning world domination?" Hope nudged Viper.

  "You know your sister, always the teacher." Cody replied as they entered the communal building.

  "Well that's probably good. I myself have a lot I could learn. All this is still so new." Hope stated. "I wouldn't mind learning to read Anguis."

  "I for one would like to get a peak inside
some of this gear you've got." Cody said.

  "Nerd" Faith shoved her hip into Cody.

  "Name calling! Now you're in trouble." Cody lunged for Faith, who squealed and danced away from the male's grasp.

  Viper enjoyed how playful the human male was with his mate. It was the same way Hope treated Viper, not formal or shy as so many Anguis matings started out.

  "I'm sure that can be arranged." Viper replied to his new brother as everyone filed into the communal banquet hall.

  It was nice to have another brother.

  Hope greeted several humans and Anguis as they made their way down the food line. Viper marveled at how she seemed to take everything in stride. Hope may not realize it but she was a natural fit for the social obligations expected of an Uxorem.

  16 I Will Fear No Evil: For Thou Art with Me

  Hope

  Viper kept Hope close in the days that followed her abduction. He railed about how the Purist leader Wyvern had gone deeper into hiding. With Ophidian on bed rest Canebrake had taken over the mercenaries and Boaz was in charge of monitoring the security room. Viper had taken her brother-in-law, Cody up on his offer to help with anything tech related so Cody was eagerly assisting Boaz.

  "Cody is pretty good at picking apart the coded security feed. He learns fast. But they're still not any closer to finding the traitor." Viper griped.

  Cody was a genius really when it came to technology. It didn't surprise Hope he was soaking all this up like a sponge.

  "But they're certain the video was hacked from inside the colony?"

  "Yes. I've moved on to plan B though."

  "What's that?" Hope asked as she plopped down in Viper's lap in their sitting area.

  "Boaz has been spreading a rumor that he's almost broken the code on who hacked into the feed." Viper said as he nibbled her neck.

  "Fake it till you make it baby." Hope replied. It was a good idea to draw out the traitor.

  "How are the plans going for the ceremony?"

  "My dress is almost done. Beyond that I'm leaving the details to your mother and Acris. Acris knows the basics of what I want, and it seems to make Hyla happy so..." Hope shrugged her shoulders.

  "Don't let her take over, this is your day."
