3013: MATED (3013: The Series)

by Roma, Laurie

  “I don’t think that’s it. They barely looked at me when I joined you, and I’m sensing some crazy shit coming from you guys. When I came over, their energy was surrounding you, and yours was merging with theirs. It still is. It’s like their energy is reaching for you even though we are standing over here. And honey, they are watching you like they want to eat you alive. I say, let them.”

  Alexis shivered at the image that generated in her head. She wanted them with a passion she’d never felt before, and it seemed they wanted her as well. Could she really have a fling with them knowing that it could cost her everything when she had never done anything like this before? Looking over at them to find their glowing eyes were locked on her, she decided it was worth it.

  For one night with them she would risk it all.

  “Jesus, you three need somewhere private before you combust. Your energy flare-ups are starting to affect me. I love you and all, but this is just pervy.”

  Alexis didn’t even look over as she heard Skylar’s statement. “See you later, Sky.”

  Skylar chuckled. “Yeah, I’ll see you.”

  Alexis walked back over to Xavier and Galan with her eyes on theirs. She looked down as they both held out a large hand to her.

  “Take us home with you, Alexis.”

  Taking a deep breath, she placed her hands in theirs and did exactly that.

  When they reached her living quarters she was surprised, and slightly disappointed that one of them didn’t just pick her up and slam her back against the closed door. Instead, both men glanced around her one bedroom unit, looking very out of place in the small room.

  She had a nice place, but it was nowhere near as opulent as the guest suites were. Feeling awkward, she pushed away from where she had been leaning against the wall watching them. “If you will just give me a few minutes I can pack a bag and—”

  Her words were cut off as she was whirled around. She slammed against Xavier’s hard body as he hauled her up against him. “You know that we want you.”

  “Yes,” she admitted breathlessly.

  His eyes narrowed. “But you doubt our sincerity? There will be no untruths between us. Ever.”

  Speechless, she looked at him with wide eyes. Shit, had they hear her conversation with Skylar? She felt herself pulled gently out of Xavier’s hold as she was lifted into Galan’s arms.

  “This is how I wanted to hold you earlier, but I did not want to embarrass you in front of your people.”

  She wrapped her arms around his neck as he carried her over to her couch. Sitting down, he positioned her on his lap and she felt his hard cock nestled under her ass. She curled into him as Xavier stomped over to stand in front of them, his silver glowing eyes bright with anger.

  “Why are you so mad?” she whispered.

  “Do you really think we want you just because you are the first human we encountered?”

  Alexis gaped at him. Shit! They had heard her talking to Skylar!

  She floundered for something to say then decided to just go with the truth since they seemed to be able to read her almost as well as she did them. “I’m an empath.” She saw their eyes widen in shock and hurried to continue. “I can’t always sense what you are feeling, but when your emotions are strong or when you’re touching me, it’s easier.”

  “Then you can sense how much we need you,” Galan said cautiously.

  “I can feel your lust. Yes,” she clarified.

  “What we want from you goes far beyond lust, little one,” Xavier said, his glowing eyes burning bright with some unrecognizable emotion. To her surprise he pushed the coffee table out of the way and went to his knees in front of where she was perched on Galan’s lap. “We want more than one night with you. What we ask is far more than you might be willing to give, but we will do our very best to make you happy if you choose to give yourself to us.”

  Alexis stiffened, unsure what he was saying. “I…I don’t know what you mean.”

  Galan used his hand to move her chin so she was staring up at him. “We want to claim you as our mate, Alexis.”

  Shock had her reeling. They couldn’t be serious. That was like…permanent! They had just met a few hours ago, how the hell could they want a lifelong commitment with her? She licked her dry lips nervously and heard both men groan. Ignoring the waves of lust pouring from them she struggled to understand what they were saying.

  “How can you say that? You don’t even know me!”

  Xavier reached out and placed a large hand on her chest, right over her frantically beating heart. The heat of his skin was like a soothing balm, and her body hummed with anticipation. There was sheer determination shining back at her as she met his gaze.

  “Since the first moment we saw you, we felt the mating pull. We have searched worlds for the one who would complete us, and we know it is you. You are the one we have been waiting for.”

  “But it would not just be us. It would be Thorn and Brydan as well,” Galan added. “As Dragon Warriors, we travel the universe searching for other life and knowledge we can send back to share with our people. But all Dragon Warriors travel with companions. Usually another twinset or two, so the long journey is not as hard to bear.”

  “As brothers, Galan and I share a bond from birth that means we share all thoughts and memories of the previous day each rising, like a mind merge. But we also have a blood bond with Thorn and Brydan that means we all must take the same mate.”

  Alexis frowned as she struggled to keep up with what they were telling her, not entirely sure she liked the idea, but she was also intrigued. “So, you want to share me with your friends?”

  Galan shook his head. “It is not like you mean. You must understand that over the last hundred years we have formed a blood bond with Thorn and Brydan that is almost as strong as the one I have with my brother. It had aided us in battle, allowing us to read one another as if we are one. This means that when we touch you, they will know it and crave you just as deeply as we do.”

  “We have known for a long time that all four of us would claim the same female, but you need to be prepared to have four mates instead of two,” Xavier explained. “We want you to understand that we need you to accept all of us into your life…and into your heart. If you do, we will make sure you never regret leaving with us.”

  “Wait!” she cried out as Xavier reached for her and she saw the hurt cloud his glowing eyes. She wanted to soothe him, but she was dizzy with what she just learned and couldn’t focus on anything else. Holy hell, she needed to think! Getting up, she felt Galan’s hesitation as he released her so she could pace the room.

  “Leave with you? So, the four of you want to mate with me, but what does that mean? You want me to travel with you? I’m so confused.” Talk about shocking the shit out of a girl! This was definitely not what she expected when she woke up this morning.

  Xavier couldn’t take it any longer. He stormed over to her and grabbed her by the arms, holding her in place. “We want you for our mate,” he growled. “You feel it. You were meant for us.”

  “But I don’t know what that means!” Alexis cried out. “All the information that I have on your people doesn’t say anything about what mating actually is!”

  “Then let us show you,” Xavier said a second before he slammed his mouth down onto hers.

  Chapter Four

  Oh, stars…

  Alexis’ breath caught as she was swamped with the greatest pleasure she’d ever encountered before, her senses bombarded with a combination of his lust and her own. Xavier’s kiss was intoxicating as they fed off one another and she wanted more…needed more. Their tongues tangled together, stroking, tasting and she gasped as his sharp fangs nicked her lip.

  She was panting as she was spun around and pulled forcefully into Galan’s arms. Caught off balance, she fell against his hard body. Her mind slow to comprehend what was going on when all she wanted was Xavier’s lips back on hers, to feel both of them touching her.


  “Do not bond her!” Galan growled harshly.

  Xavier let out a vicious snarl like a wounded animal as he stomped away from them. Alexis’ eyes widened as she watched him. Now that the pleasure had abated slightly so she was able to think, the ache in her lip became more noticeable. She reached up and touched her lower lip and pulled her fingers back to find a small trace of blood on them.

  Galan gently cupped her face so she was facing him, his glowing eyes bright with hunger. “We do not want to force you into mating us before you are ready, but it is difficult for us to hold back our nature. If you mate with us we will need to create a blood bond with you.”

  Well, shit...

  “You mean you have to drink my blood? Like a vampire?”

  “Just a little, and nay, it is not like a vampire. It is more of an exchange. If we drink from you it will allow us to feel what you do and make it so we can communicate in our minds. We can wait for you to decide to complete the ritual that will make you ours, but if you do we will need this to feel closer to you.”

  “Damn it! You give her the means to escape us!” Xavier snarled through their bond.

  “I am giving us the means to have her, you bloody fool!” Galan snapped back. “I will not force the blood bond on her, and she cannot take our blood without beginning the conversion. If we do that before she is ready, we will lose her trust. You heard her friend. Others have betrayed her in the past. I will not begin our mating that way.”

  Xavier let out a breath, calming himself. “You are right, brother. But this pains me not to bind her to us.”

  “For me as well, but we cannot break her trust. Control, brother.”

  Xavier growled low in his throat at the reprimand. The need to feel Alexis in his arms, to claim her, was bordering on madness. The scent of her arousal was intoxication. It made his cock throb painfully in his pants, but he struggled to control himself. He could not simply pounce on her like he wanted too without giving her time to come to grips with what they wanted from her. She needed time, and they would give it to her, because losing her now was not an option.

  Oblivious to the brother’s exchange, Alexis’s nibbled on her lower lip as she felt a wave of arousal hit her like a meteor. Galan growled and the sound turned her on. She wanted him to do it again so she could feel that rumble in his chest that made her nipples tighten.

  Shit, she needed to focus!

  “So, if I take your blood, will I also be able to read your mind?”

  “Aye, Alexis. You will have access to our thoughts and memories. You will also be able to call for us with just a thought if ever you need us.”

  The concept of blood bonding fascinating. With her empathic powers she was able to feel emotions, but how much easier would it be for her to be able to understand the feelings coming from them? Still, she wasn’t naive enough to think that something like this was a decision to make on the spur of the moment. Mating with an alien race through blood was far more permanent than getting branded with a chosen mark on her face like humans did when forming a bonding unit.

  This would be elemental…and forever.

  “If I chose to mate with you I’m fine with the blood bond thing. Just…please give me a little time to decide. There is obviously some strong attraction between us, but this isn’t something I can just jump into. It’s a huge decision for me.”

  Elation surged through Galan, and he could feel the same satisfaction soothe Xavier’s anger. His brother was a commanding force, and often forgot that a gentle touch sometimes got better results than demands. They might give her time, but there was no way they would let her go now that they found her. Alexis belonged to them, and they would do whatever it took to make sure she was mated to them when they left Earth. “Thank you, Alexis.”

  She blinked. “For what?”

  “For considering mating with us. We know that it is a big decision, but we will make sure you never regret it.”

  She reached up to stroke his cheek and he could see the confusion in her beautiful violet eyes. “It’s so strange. I just met you, but I feel like I know you.”

  Galan turned his head to nuzzle against her hand. Gods, he wanted to her more than he’d ever wanted anything in his life. The feel of her in his arms felt so right, so perfect that he had to force himself not to just rip her clothing off and drag her to the floor where he could drive himself inside her. He wanted to take her, to slam himself so far into her that she would never be free of him. “Your heart knows us. You were meant to belong to us and you honor us with your trust. We will not fail you.”

  Alexis’ heart clenched hearing that. Most of the people in her past that she had depended on had let her down, but there was something about Xavier and Galan that made her want to trust them. She wanted to belong to them and to have them belong to her. It was absolutely crazy. None of this made sense, but it felt…like it was meant to be.

  “I want you,” she whispered, her voice shaking with nerves. “I do want all four of you, but I’m scared about what will happen…”

  “Then let this be enough for now,” Galan replied.

  She nodded and watched as both of their silver eyes blazed with a hunger. Her breath caught as Galan’s lips came down to meet hers, taking her in a soft, searing kiss that make her tremble. Alexis angled her head, needing to get closer to him and gasped as she felt Xavier come up behind her, reaching around to cup her full breasts in his large hands.

  She lost herself in the kiss, immersing herself in the feel of them, loving their hands on her body. When she pulled back, she blinked in surprise as she suddenly realized that Xavier had removed her uniform top and bra while she had been busy kissing Galan. Her skin was flush with arousal, her nipples hard points that were aching to be touched.

  As if sensing what she wanted, Galan lowered to his knees in front of her.

  “These are perfect,” he purred moving his head to suck her nipples. Her head fell back on Xavier’s chest, trusting him to hold her up as Galan sucked on one nipple then switched to the other, lashing the taut bud with his tongue before sucking hard. She could feel each pull of his mouth like a lightning bolt that shot straight to her core. Xavier turned her head and settled his mouth over hers, forcing his tongue deep with a growl that made her weak with need.

  They were taking her over and she let them. Galan’s hands made quick work removing her boots then he went to work on her pants, also pulling her panties down her legs so she was standing naked between them.

  “You are a vision, sweetling. A dream come true,” Galan said reverently.

  “Perfection,” Xavier agreed with a rumbling purr. “I cannot wait to feel your beautiful body welcoming me inside you.” Their words made her shiver and she gripped Xavier’s head, pulling it back down to her so she could kiss him again.

  More, she needed more.

  Sharp hunger drove Alexis to rub her body back against Xavier, loving the feel of his steel- hard erection against her back. They were so much bigger than her, but she felt completely safe in their arms, sheltered between them. A gasp tore from her lips as Xavier lowered his hand between her legs, circling her clit with his finger.

  Xavier drank down her moan as he pushed two fingers into her slick heat. She was dripping wet, and it pleased him to feel how much she wanted them. Never before had just seeing a female made his cock grow hard as stone. He let out a growl as he stared down at her beautiful body, running one of his hands over her lush curves and hips as he used his other to push his fingers inside her. His body trembled with need to take her…to bend her over the couch and ram his cock deep into her tight pussy until he filled her with his seed, but she wasn’t ready yet. They were so much bigger than their tiny mate, and he knew his large cock would hurt her if she wasn’t prepared to take him.

  “So wet,” Xavier purred against her ear. “Do you like the pleasure we are giving you, little one? Tell us. Tell us what you want, Alexis.”

  “Oh, god. I want you,” she panted, moaning as he began to finger
fuck her faster as Galan went back to work sucking on her nipples. “Please, Xavier. Please…”

  “You shall have us,” Xavier promised in a dark, heated growl. He wrapped his other arm around her middle, holding her back against him. “We will fill you so full you will not remember what it is like not to have us inside you, but first we need to make you come. Our cocks are large and we do not want to hurt you.”

  “I have lube in a drawer by my bed in the other room,” she explained then winced at how that sounded. “Most relationships now are ménage so I’ve been with two men at—”

  Both males snarled, cutting her off. “We do not want to hear about you with any other males. You belong to us now,” Xavier growled dangerously.

  Alexis felt something inside of her shift. Normally, that kind of statement would have put her back up, but coming from them, it only enhanced her need. She wanted to belong to them. Everything they had said to her was like something out of her wildest fantasy. It was almost unimaginable how four strong Dragon Warriors would want someone like her when they could have anyone they wanted. She pushed that thought away, simply letting herself enjoy the moment as she ground her ass back against Xavier, making him suck in a harsh breath.

  “Then take me,” she challenged.

  “Aye, we will. First, we need to get your tight little pussy soft and slick with your cum to get you ready for us, little one. Come for us. Come and then we will take you.”

  His fingers surged in and out of her pussy faster as the palm of his hand rubbed against her clit. Her body shuddered with her release as she exploded, her cream soaking Xavier’s hand as he curled his fingers to stroke the spot high inside her that made her damn toes curl.

  She would have fallen, but they held her up between them. Closing her eyes, she let out a low moan as she rode the waves of ecstasy that wracked her body. Alexis had never come so fast and hard simply from being fingered before, but it didn’t hurt that their fingers were the size of small cocks. That thought made a laugh slip past her lips and she realized she felt drunk with pleasure. She opened her eyes again and saw Galan standing before her completely naked, looking at her with such raw emotion her heart skipped a beat.
