Raider’s Treasure (Alpha Barbarians Book 1)

by Leann Ryans

  Lyric could see the three warriors that had taken the other omegas, but there was no sign of the women, and she felt a flash of worry about them. While Raider had never taken advantage of her, that didn’t mean that his warriors had the same restraint.

  Calling a greeting, Raider spoke with the men before turning to help her from the saddle. Craning her neck, Lyric tried to see into the tents, but she wasn’t at the right angle to see between the flaps into the dark interiors.

  Straining her ears, Lyric picked up shuffling from one of them, and took an unconscious step towards the tent. When Raider didn’t immediately bark at her to stay with him, she eased a little further away. Turning to face her, he raised a dark eyebrow as her hands twisted together before her.

  “Can I… I just,” Lyric stuttered, not sure what to say as her eyes flit between him and the tent.

  Letting out a huff, he shook his head but flicked his fingers towards the tent, turning back to his warriors. Taking that as permission, Lyric darted to the entrance, pulling the flap back and peeking inside.

  Three sets of wide eyes greeted her from a pile of furs on the ground. Once they realized she wasn’t one of the men, they scrambled up, swarming her as she stepped inside and let the flap fall into place behind her.

  “What happened?”

  “Are you okay?”

  “Is the wagon here?”

  Questions peppered her as each of the women tried to get her attention. Holding up her hands, she tried to stall them enough to answer before they threw more her way.

  “I got sick from my wound and we had to stop for the night. I’m better now thanks to Raider. We haven’t seen the wagons. Are all of you okay?”

  Looking around at the nodding heads, the tension in her middle relaxed as she let out a deep breath. Lyric sat down and encouraged the others to sit with her so they could talk in comfort. This was the first time they had the illusion of privacy, and she wanted to get the girls’ full stories while she had the chance.

  She was glad to see that the youngest omega was still with them, where at least she knew the girl wasn’t being abused. While it still upset her about the other two being given away, she had decided that she had to stop worrying about things she had no control over, or she was going to spend her life angry and bitter.

  26. Lyric

  They weren’t allowed much time before Raider came to the tent, opening the flap with a gust of cold air to look in on them. Not a whisper could be heard as his eyes raked over the four omegas huddled together.

  “Lyric, come so I can check your shoulder.”

  Rising, she spared one quick glance at the others as they moved to the back of the tent again before she followed Raider over to the second tent. She wasn’t prepared for his quick backwards jerk when he ducked to enter the tent, and the elbow to the chest she received threw her off balance.

  Pinwheeling her arm, she tried to stop the pull of gravity but had admitted defeat and braced for impact with the ground before strong arms wrapped around her. Lyric did not understand how Raider had spun around and caught her so fast, but the feel of his warmth wrapping around her, coupled with his scent invading her nose and the adrenaline surging through her system, had her hyperaware of every spot that their bodies touched.

  Placing her back on her feet, he stared into her eyes as he let her go.

  “Sorry. Wait a moment so I can put up our tent.”

  Turning away from her, Raider went over to where he had left his horse to collect what he needed. Confused about his reaction to entering the tent, Lyric reached out a hand and pulled back the flap. The reek of alphas, mixed with sweat, dirt, and cum, hit her in the face like a physical slap.

  Staggering back, she released the tent flap, waving her hand in front of her face to dispel the scent that seemed to follow her. Grimacing, Lyric gagged before the scent finally seemed to fade. Bumping into a warm bulk that hadn’t been behind her a moment before, she gasped and spun around, steadied by the hand Raider caught her elbow with.

  “Sometimes, curiosity can be a dangerous thing,” he said as he looked down at her, eyebrow cocked as a smirk played around his lips.

  Narrowing her eyes, Lyric said, “No kidding!”

  Chuckling, he pulled her over to an open space before releasing her elbow and getting to work setting up their tent. He had the rope tied off and the fabric staked in a matter of minutes, pushing her in ahead of him as he carried in the furs already saturated in their scents.

  “Strip,” he ordered.

  Brows pulling together, Lyric’s lips pursed in a stubborn expression.

  Rolling his eyes at her, he said, “I need to check your wound.”

  Huffing, she turned her back to him before trying to pull off her coat. Struggling, Lyric froze when she felt Raider’s heat against her back. Large hands slid up her arms before reaching the edges of her coat, pulling it off of her to land in a pile on the ground. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end as his warm breath curled across her nape, and a shiver raced down her spine.

  Stuttering a thanks, she attempted to reach for the bottom of her shirt to pull it up, but his hands wrapped around her wrists before she could. Holding them down to her sides until she quit struggling, he released them only to slide his hands over her belly to the edge of her shirt himself.

  Raider’s warm palms against the flesh of her stomach had Lyric pulling in a deep breath as her heart thundered in her ears. The callouses on his fingers sent goosebumps trailing over her body as the shirt inched higher and higher.

  One hand pressed to the center of her abdomen just below her breasts, Raider’s other hand grabbed her right wrist again. Lifting her arm, he helped her drag it from the sleeve before placing it by her side again. Slipping the shirt over her head, Lyric felt his chest press against her back as it slid down her injured arm to puddle on the ground beside her coat.

  Aware of her nudity like she had never been before, her nipples pebbled as she imagined Raider looking down on her. She could feel his chest vibrating though there was no sound coming from him. Unable to tell if the silent call was a growl or a purr, her body still reacted with a rush of slick to dampen her pants.

  Trembling, Lyric waited for his next move, unsure of what her body was yearning for. Her panting breaths sounded loud in her ears as she struggled to bring in enough oxygen to clear her head. Gentle fingers ran up her sides, skimming the edges of her breasts before working the bandage free.

  Running his nose along the top of her shoulder, she heard Raider scent right above the wound. Lightly pressing on the edges of it, Lyric barely felt any pain.

  “It seems like the fungus did its job. No sign of the infection.”

  Raider’s voice was a low, husky whisper, breathed against the side of her neck where he pressed a gentle kiss. Leaving a trail of them up to her jaw, Lyric gasped when she felt his tongue lick along the shell of her ear.

  “You smell so good,” he groaned, flexing his hips forward so that his erection pressed into her lower back.

  Whimpering, Lyric’s body flooded with heat that seemed to pool between her thighs. Squeezing her legs together, she wiggled her hips, desperate for friction on the throbbing bud hidden in her slick folds.

  Brushing against Raider’s hard length drew a groan from his chest that had more liquid spilling from her core as his hands drifted back down the front of her. Skimming his fingers along her skin, she wasn’t sure if he was touching her or if she was just imagining it as a single finger began to circle each breast.

  Moving in smaller and smaller circles, his fingers drew closer to the stiff rosy peak as his lips moved along her jaw. Squirming within the cage of his arms, Lyric drew in one shuddering breath after another as her body burned with a different heat than it had the day before.

  Just before his finger would have finally brushed against her aching nipple, Raider paused, a needy moan escaping her throat.

  “Do you want this Lyric? Do you want me?”

  Though R
aider’s voice was quiet, the growl in it still sent tremors through her body as her core clenched on emptiness. Hesitating only a moment, Lyric pressed into his hands, whimpering as she nodded her head.

  “Say it. Say you want me.”

  “I… I want you Raider. I’m yours.”

  His growl coursed through her, this one louder and harsher as his fingers gripped her breasts, pinching her nipples between the knuckles. Lyric cried out, part pleasure and part pain as he licked down her neck before leaving gentle bites along the top of her shoulder.

  “Please, go easy,” she said as she trembled in his arms.

  “Shhh. I will not hurt you,” he whispered, turning her in his arms to crush her against his chest.

  27. Raider

  Leaning down, Raider captured Lyric’s lips with his, demanding she open for him. Thrusting his tongue into her mouth as soon as her teeth parted, he tasted her, devouring the whimpers and needy sighs she made.

  Running his hands down her bare back, he cupped her bottom, gripping it through her pants. Frustrated at the barrier, he released her lips.

  “Strip,” he ordered her once again, this time meaning everything.

  Looking up at him with a dazed expression, it took her a moment to move her hands from his sides to the laces on the front of the pants. Stepping back, Raider shrugged out of his coat, revealing his bare chest before loosening his own pants.

  Dropping them before Lyric had finished loosening hers, he jerked the top of her pants open, thrusting them down her legs as she gasped, her wide blue eyes looking up at him in shock. Giving her a dark grin, he grabbed her ass again, pulling her to him. Cock grinding into her belly, he kissed her before stepping back to where he had dropped the furs.

  “We need a nest, little omega,” he rumbled.

  Glancing from him to the pile of furs at his feet, Lyric hesitated before moving forward. Pushing their discarded clothing to the side of the tent with a foot, she stopped in front of him, eyes trailing down his body as she hesitated.

  Raider couldn’t stop the smirk as her eyes caught on his cock standing proud between them. Swallowing hard, Lyric’s tongue darted out to lick her lips as she began to kneel. Reaching forward to collect the fur blankets, her eyes never left the erection bobbing in front of her face. She gathered them to her chest before leaning forward further, eyes closing as she scented the air.

  Hearing a quiet moan, Raider took as step forward, reaching out a hand to pet the top of her head as her eyes opened and looked up at him. The furs tumbled from her arms back to the ground as she lifted her good arm to brace against his thigh. Rising up on her knees, she leaned in and flicked her tongue out to taste the bead of fluid that had collected on his tip.

  Moaning, Lyric’s eyes closed again as she thrust her tongue out to lap at his head before running it down the base of his shaft. Nuzzling into his groin where his scent was strongest, he heard her take in a deep inhale before tentatively licking at his sack.

  Purring his approval, Raider continued to stroke her hair, letting her do what she wanted to for now. Hand siding up his thigh, she gently cupped his balls as her tongue went back to exploring his shaft. When her lips reached the tip again, he gently pushed on the back of her head when she would have just continued to lick him.

  Taking the hint, Lyric opened her mouth for him, taking his head in before sealing her lips around his shaft. Groaning at the wet heat surrounding him, Raider gave a shallow thrust, watching tears spring to the corners of her eyes.

  “Relax your throat. Trust me,” he growled.

  Nodding, she swallowed, taking another inch into her mouth. Moving slowly, Raider thrust in as he held the back of her head, letting her adjust before pressing further. Tipping her head back, she was able to take a couple more inches before her eyes clenched shut, gagging on his length.

  Petting her hair as he pulled out of her mouth, Raider whispered, “Good girl. You did good.”

  Running his hand from the base to the tip, spreading her saliva along him, he took a step back and motioned to the furs.

  “Our nest. Quickly.”

  Glancing down, she gathered the blankets before turning her back to him, spreading the furs out with hurried, jerky motions. When she leaned forward to push the blankets farther into the tent, her ass was on perfect display, wet folds visible between her smooth thighs.

  Groaning, he stroked himself again as she looked back over her shoulder at him. Lips tipping up as her eyes hooded, Lyric arched her back, presenting even more for him as she stretched out her upper body low to the ground.

  With a growl Raider lunged forward, dropping to his knees as he took her hip in one hand and pressed the other between her shoulder blades, forcing her chest flat to the furs. Gasping, she tried to push herself back up before giving in to him.

  Leaning over Lyric’s back, Raider ran his tongue down her spine, causing her to wiggle beneath him as his shaft pressed into the pillows of her ass. Sliding down her back as he went, he bit her left cheek when he made it to her bottom before gripping her hips in both hands.

  Tipping her ass up even more, Raider swiped his tongue from her mound all the way to her tight rosebud, causing her to lurch away from him. Chuckling, he circled it again with just the tip of his tongue before moving back down to slide his tongue between her folds.

  Avoiding her clit, he sucked and licked along Lyric’s lower lips as her whimpers and moans grew louder. When he thrust his tongue into her pussy, she bucked back against him, crying out in frustration when he pulled away before she could get more friction.

  Smoothing a hand over her bottom, he flipped her onto her back, covering her body with his as he leaned in to kiss her. Plunging his tongue into her mouth, it surprised him when she began to suck on it, pulling a groan of his own from him as he rubbed his cock against her mound, coating himself in her slick.

  Grabbing her behind the knees, he lifted Lyric’s legs up and hooked them over his arms, leaning back to watch his cock sliding between her folds. Glistening with her sweet slick, he could already feel his balls drawing tight, ready to come.

  Easing away to let himself calm down, he pulled one nipple deep into his mouth while he rolled the other between his fingers. Lyric’s hands went to his hair, pulling him tighter to her breast as she raised her hips, begging to be touched.

  Running a hand down her belly, he used a finger to circle her clit before plunging it into her wet pussy.

  28. Lyric

  Feeling his finger enter her, Lyric gasped, arching her back from the furs beneath her. The sensation was amazing and coupled with his hot mouth tugging on her nipple, it sent zings of pleasure straight to her clit.

  Moaning and writhing against him, she gripped Raider’s hair tighter and tried to push him back down her body to lick her like he had before. Chuckling, he didn’t budge, adding a second finger to her channel.

  Grinding on the thick digits, Lyric approached the edge of her climax in a rush, body tensing as Raider gave in to her urging hands and moved down her body. The first light lick over her clit sent her crashing over, crying out as she spasmed around his fingers, and a surge of slick coated his hand.

  Growling, he removed his fingers to thrust his tongue inside of her, sending more ripples of sensation through her body just as the first round had eased. Head thrown back and eyes clenched shut, Lyric’s entire body trembled as she slowly came back down. Gasping for air, her hands stopped clenching Raider to her and began trying to push him away instead.

  Legs jerking with every flick of his tongue to her over-sensitive clit, Lyric whined as he refused to let up. Continuing to growl into her as he devoured her pussy, his eyes were coal-black, pupils blown by the taste and scent of her slick.

  Already feeling another climax building, Lyric gave in, thrusting against Raider’s face. When she was right on the edge again, he stopped, a snarl escaping her as her eyes flew open to glare down at him. Grinning, he crawled forward to cover her body, pulling her legs up around his
waist.

  Feeling something large and blunt pressed to her entrance, Lyric gasped as she looked down between them, heart racing at the sight of his cock about to enter her. Holding her breath as she waited for what she knew was going to be a painful thrust, it surprised her when Raider’s hands stroked her face, drawing her attention back up to his.

  “I will be as gentle as I can be, but it will hurt at first,” he whispered to her.

  Taking a deep breath, she gave him a nod as she glanced back down to where they would be joined. Taking her chin in his hand, he forced her attention back up. Lips pressing to hers in a firm but gentle kiss, he began to push forward into her. She could feel her lower lips stretching around the head of his cock, and as her mouth parted in a gasp, he thrust is tongue in to duel with hers.

  Distracted by his searing kiss, Lyric was unprepared for his sudden sharp thrust, causing her to jerk away from his mouth and let out a yelp of pain. Freezing inside of her, Raider kissed her brow, then her nose, before putting his lips against hers again.

  “I’m sorry. It’ll be okay,” he whispered to her as her whimpers began to fade.

  Pulling his body tighter to hers as he began to purr, her core stopped burning with pain and returned to throbbing with the need he had built there. Using her feet to press on the back of his thighs, she urged Raider to move again. He pulled back before pressing into her, purr changing to a low growl to coax more slick from her to coat the shaft invading her virgin channel.

  Shuddering at the press of his cock against the nerves inside her pussy, Lyric panted against his shoulder as he continued deeper and deeper. She had no idea how much of him was inside of her, but the feeling of fullness made her think there was no way more could fit, yet he continued to thrust, pulling back before going deeper with each stroke.
