3013: STOWAWAY (3013: The Series)

by Hayes, Susan

  “It’s real. I have no idea how the Alliance is going to feel about me claiming her with an unsanctioned partner, but this is the only plan I had. I think it’s what they used to call a ‘Hail Mary’ play.”

  “You’ve got breeding rights,” Deke said, still trying to wrap his head around this new twist.

  “I think you broke his brain, Trevar,” Sonja said and crossed the room to wrap her arms around him, squeezing him tight. “It’s real. Trevar claimed me. You’re both my bonded now.”

  Suddenly it didn’t matter how it had happened, or why. It only mattered that it had. “You’re ours,” he said, and when she nodded happily he did the only thing he could think of. He kissed her. She wrapped herself around him like a cat, a contented sigh rising from her throat as she parted her lips and kissed him back.

  She was theirs. Claimed and marked for the whole world to see. It was hard to believe, but the proof was in his arms. When he lifted his head to breathe, she bounced up and down on the balls of her feet again. “Hi, bonded.”

  “Hello, my chosen,” he smiled down at her, hardly able to speak past the lump in his throat.

  “You know, I think this calls for a celebration. By any chance did you get that new holo-room program ready, Deke?”

  “I put the finishing touches on it this morning.”

  “Perfect, then I say we grab dinner, a bottle of the good stuff, and our chosen, and head for the holo-room. It’s time to be merry, for who knows what tomorrow may bring.”

  “Shit. He’s waxing poetic. That’s never a good sign,” Deke muttered, already gathering up their dinner. Fortunately, it was nothing more complicated than toasted sandwiches and a small assortment of fruits and vegetables he’d acquired during the day’s shopping at the station. They could make a sort of picnic of the meal.

  “Poetry is bad?” Sonja asked as she helped him with the plates.

  “It usually means I am going to wake up with a vicious hangover and a list of regrets.”

  “Not my fault you can’t hold your liquor,” Trevar said, his voice slightly muffled because he was reaching far into the back of one of the galley’s cabinets. “Aha! I knew there was another bottle around here somewhere.”

  “Shit, you found it.”

  “Damn right I found it. Did you think hiding it with the flour and sugar was really going work?” Trevar reappeared brandishing the last bottle of Tarin fire brew, one of several acquired on a run to the Hades outpost on Tartarus several months back. The stuff was like liquid lightning, strong enough to knock even a Krytos on their ass. It was looking to be a hell of a night.

  Sonja didn’t have any idea what was in the oddly shaped bottle, and she really didn’t care. This was the best day of her life, and she was going to enjoy herself. She knew it was likely only the lower gravity, but she could have sworn she was floating on air as she left the galley and made her way to the holo-room that had been converted to her bedroom for the trip. As she waited for the others to catch up, it dawned on her that her stay on the Arca wouldn’t end after this trip. At least, it didn’t have to. She could stay out here among the stars forever.

  “Now we just need to get the Alliance to go along with this insanity,” she muttered under her breath.

  “Don’t go borrowing trouble, kitten. Tonight is a celebration. Tomorrow we’ll worry about the future.” Trevar walked up behind her and wrapped an arm around her waist, drawing her back into the solid comfort of his body.

  Deke arrived seconds later, balancing his load in one hand as he tapped a code into the keypad. “Ship, run program Sonja’s Room Two.”

  “When did you have time to do this?” she asked, eager to see what new vista waited for her behind the door.

  “I finished up the program while you were overhauling Tic and Toc,” Deke said as the door slid open.

  “You outdid yourself on this one,” Trevar’s voice was tinged with awe, and Sonja had to agree. The entire space was filled with cool blue light, and the air flowing into the corridor was almost chilly. Her men gestured for her to go in first, and she stepped through the doorway into another world.

  She was standing in the middle of a cavern with smooth, black stones beneath her feet and a dome of blue-white, translucent ice arched overhead. A stream flowed through the middle of the space, dropping several times to form miniature waterfalls along its path. Fog rose up from the water and shrouded much of the floor. A tiny stone bridge arched over the stream, leading to a steam covered pool carved into the rocky floor. A few feet away was a bed piled high with exotic furs, and several pieces of furniture that were hewn out of the ice and draped in more of the furs.

  “Where is this? Is this a real place? If it is, please take me there one day.”

  “It’s a very real place, in the D’aire home system. We’ll show it to you one day. Of course, the real thing doesn’t have a bedroom in the middle of it, but it is incredibly beautiful there.”

  “Oh yeah, beautiful…and fucking cold! I nearly froze my ass off on that little excursion. Trust me, kitten, there are a thousand breathtaking places to visit in the galaxy. Let’s start with the ones that don’t come with a high risk of frostbite, okay?”

  “Where’s your sense of adventure?” she quipped, crossing the smooth stone floor to lay out their meal on the hewn stone table.

  “I hear he used to have one, when he was younger. I guess his age is finally—ow!” Deke yelped as a Trevar cuffed him in the back of the head.

  “Don’t insult the man who claimed our woman for us…or I’ll keep her to myself.”

  Sonja ignored their banter, crossing over the arched bridge to check out the steam shrouded pool on the other side. A quick test with her finger confirmed her suspicions, and she gleefully shed her clothing and shoes before stepping into the luxurious heat of the hot spring.

  They stopped arguing the second she dropped her dress to the ground, and before she was completely submerged both of them had come over to join her, stripping off their clothes as they went. She enjoyed their antics, laughing at their half-hearted attempts to slow each other down. In the end it was a tie, with both men claiming a side and laying a kiss on her cheeks at the same time.

  Trevar lifted her onto Deke’s lap, turning her sideways so that her legs draped over his thighs while Deke’s arms went around her waist, holding her in place. Both men were stroking her beneath the water, and she couldn’t keep her hands off of them either. Not that she even tried. She had been claimed by two handsome, amazing men, and she wanted to enjoy every second of their celebration.

  It didn’t take long for gentle caresses to lead to something more, and soon Sonja was the focus of both men’s complete attention. Deke’s hands were on her breasts, teasing and toying with her nipples until every flick of his fingers was sending shimmers of lust straight to her clit. He would kiss his way from her shoulder to her ear, and then pause to nuzzle the new mark on her face before starting the whole process over again.

  Trevar’s hands weren’t idle either. He had her legs spread and was slowly stroking every inch of skin from her clit to the rosette of her ass. She was trembling despite the heat of the water, deliciously close to an orgasm that neither man was willing to give her.

  “Please?” she begged at last, and both men chuckled.

  “Not yet, kitten. We want you half out of your mind when we take you to bed and claim you properly.” He traced his fingertip around her back hole and a wash of dark pleasure came over her. They were going to take her together. Both of them would be inside her at once, sharing her in the ultimate act of intimacy.

  “I think she likes that idea,” Deke said, lifting his mouth from her neck to kiss her deeply. Their tongues dueled, lips mated as Trevar began working his fingers back toward her clit in leisurely circles. She moaned in answer, bucking her hips against Trevar’s hand in a desperate plea for urgency.

  Instead, he withdrew his touch completely, leaving Sonja’s clit throbbing and her pulse pounding in her ears. “Keep
her busy for a few minutes, will you? I just remembered I need to grab something from my quarters.”

  She tore her mouth from Deke’s. “You’re leaving? But we…” she gestured around them, her hands sending droplets of water and clouds of steam flying in all directions.

  “I’ll be right back. Don’t start without me.”

  “I make no promises,” Deke said, laughing as Trevar left the warmth of the pool and jogged to the door, cursing the cooler air every step of the way. If Trevar was fool enough to leave their beautiful chosen alone, even for a few minutes, then it was all the better for him.

  “He left!” Sonja sputtered.

  “Which means I get a few minutes alone with my chosen.” Deke still couldn’t quite believe that’s what she was to them now, their chosen. A woman who loved them both without reservation, filling a void that neither of them would even admit they had. She was a gift from the universe that he would be forever grateful for.

  “I love you,” she said, stroking a wet hand across his cheek.

  “And now I can make good on my promise to love you until the stars fall.” His tugged her deeper into his arms and kissed her, letting her scent and flavor and the feel of her skin on his brand themselves into his memory.

  “I’m going to hold you to that,” she murmured against his mouth. The soft curves of her body brushed against hers as she floated in his embrace. His dick bumped against the back of her thighs, and he drew her down on top of it deliberately, biting back a groan as she parted her thighs enough to let his cock slide between them.

  “I don’t feel like waiting.”

  “Neither do I.”

  That was all he needed to hear. Deke turned her so she was facing away from him. He pressed a hand between her legs, spreading them wider, and she raised her body a few inches out of the water so he could find her entrance. She was slick and ready for him, and the moment he breached her opening she took control, lowering herself onto his shaft with an eager moan.

  “I love listening to your pleasure, sweetheart. I’m never going to grow tired of hearing your sweet moans and sighs when we fuck you.”

  She moaned again, her eyes half closed and her face flushed with heat and need. Her channel was slick and tight, her inner muscles flexing around his cock until he was damned near ready to come. He toyed with her clit until she was trembling in his arms, pushing her to the brink of her control. “Fuck me, Deke. I need you to move!”

  “How many times do we have to tell you, sweetheart? You are not the one in charge,” he said, biting back a peal of laughter as she snarled in frustration and wriggled in his lap, making them both even more aroused. Being buried deep in her glorious body was the best feeling in the worlds, and the knowledge that he would be able to experience it for the rest of his life that was fucking amazing.

  He worked her clitoris between his fingers, pinching just hard enough to make her quiver. Her thighs tensed and her back arched as another low, throaty moan rose up from her throat.

  “Yes, just like that,” she purred as he slid a hand between them and started pressing against the rosette of her ass. The tip of one finger slid inside and she gasped, her inner walls gripping him harder now.

  “I can’t wait until I have my cock in your pussy and Trevar is fucking your ass at the same time. It’s going to be perfect. That first night we had sex, I promised you that we’d make you feel so good you’d never want to leave the ship. Tonight, we’re going to make sure you never want to leave us.”

  “That’s never going to happen,” she vowed, riding his fingers with rising urgency as he finally gave her what she needed. He bounced her on his lap, sending waves of water splashing onto the rocks as he took his hand from between them and wrapped it around her waist before plucking and stroking her clit until she threw back her head and screamed his name as she came.

  Trevar heard Sonja’s cries before he even got the door open, and he knew they hadn’t waited for him. Not that he really had expected them to. There were a few things they needed for tonight, though, which was why he’d left. He’d made one extra stop at the station today, purchasing a few things he had hoped they’d get to use. He glanced down at the vial of lubricant and the vibrator he’d picked out and grinned. It was a good thing he believed in being prepared.

  He walked back into the holo-room and all the blood rushed to his dick as he caught sight of Sonja lost in the throes of an orgasm. She was arched backward, her perfect breasts gleaming in the light and her eyes closed as she gave voice to her pleasure. She was so fucking beautiful it was hard to believe she was theirs, but the marks on her face declared that she was, and always would be. “I can’t leave you two alone for a minute. At least this time there weren’t any spectators.”

  Sonja opened her eyes and got an enjoyable eyeful of Trevar, naked and still wet from his earlier dip. “Right now the only spectator is you. Are you coming back to join us?”

  “No, kitten. You’re going to come to me.” He pointed to the bed. “Move your cute, little ass.”

  Stars, she loved it when they got bossy. It didn’t really make sense, because she hated being told to do by anyone else, but when they did it she turned gooey inside. Deke nuzzled her neck one last time and then lifted her off his still hard cock. “Bedtime, sweetheart.”

  He helped her out of the pool first, then climbed out himself and tossed her over his shoulder before she could take a step. Head down, ass up, all she could do was laugh and kick her feet in mock protest as he carried her back to the bed and dropped her into the midst of the furs. They were sinfully soft, and she stretched out in them with a happy sigh. Trevar joined her a heartbeat later, the warm bulk of his body pressing her down into the bed as he kissed her heatedly.

  Deke moved in on her other side, settling himself on his back as he took one of her hands, lacing their fingers together before tapping his chest. “Up you get, sweetheart. I wasn’t done with you yet.”

  She laughed, the sound captured by Trevar’s mouth as he kissed her yet again. He kept her pinned to the mattress, using his weight to keep her in place.

  “Share, you greedy bastard, or at the very least let the woman breathe,” Deke said, reaching over to swat Trevar’s shoulder.

  Trevar lifted his head and Sonja sucked in a lungful of cool air which did almost nothing to ease the fire blazing inside her. “You ready to have us both?” he asked her and she nodded, stroking back his hair to trace the line of the scar that ran along his brow.

  “I’m ready.”

  “Then come here and let us love you,” Deke said, squeezing her hand.

  She went to Deke, straddling his hips so that his cock was trapped between them and her hands were on the broad expanse of his chest. He was looking up at her with adoration, his hazel eyes glowing with love that shone even brighter than the lust that simmered in their depths. He arched his hips, and then he was inside her again, filling her completely.

  Trevar moved behind her and she tensed a little in anticipation, but all he did was lay a warm hand on her back. “Relax, kitten. We’d never hurt you. We’re going to go nice and slow. Deke, under the pillow to your right is a little something I picked up today. I think you should keep our chosen distracted while I get her ready.

  Deke reached under the pillow and started feeling around. “What did you…ah, I got it. Oh, sweetheart, you’re going to like this.” He pulled out his hand and revealed a small vibrator with flattened section near the tip. Before she could get a good look at it he was already sliding his hand between their bodies, placing the vibrator against her clit before turning it on.

  “Wow!” she exclaimed as a low vibration thrummed through her, nearly making her come right then and there.

  “Fuck, that’s good. I can feel it, too. Does that feel good, sweetheart?”

  Sonja couldn’t manage more than a broken moan in response. She rocked her hips, grinding her pussy against his cock and the vibrator. The double stimulation was incredible, and all she wanted was to feel mo
re of it.

  “Lean all the way forward,” Trevar instructed her and she did so, moaning again when the change in angles sent the vibrator dancing over a new part of her clit. When his slick fingers started sliding between her nether cheeks, Sonja was too far gone to feel anxious. All she felt was pleasure, wave after wave of it that washed over her and kept her from focusing on anything else. Deke’s hands were in her hair and he drew her down for a long, deep kiss, his tongue dancing with hers in the same slow give and take as their lovemaking.

  Something cool and slippery flowed over her skin, intensifying everything she was feeling. Trevar stroked it in slow circles until she relaxed again, and then he pressed the tips of his fingers into her tight hole. She felt a brief bite of discomfort at that intrusion, but it soon faded to a subtle burn that rode the edge between pleasure and pain. She rocked backward, pushing him deeper. He added a second finger and the burn returned, a little stronger this time. She moaned, her pussy gripping Deke’s cock tighter as a flood of cream flowed from her pussy.

  “You like that, don’t you? Fuck, kitten, you are so ready for me.” Trevar withdrew his fingers, leaving her feeling suddenly empty, but then there was more cooling lubricant and something thicker than his fingers pressing against the opening and she took a low, slow breath. She forced herself to relax as he pushed past the tight ring of muscle and into her body. Deke’s fingers tightened in her hair and he groaned into her mouth as Trevar’s cock slid deeper, filling her impossibly full.

  There was a growl of approval from Trevar, then both men went still, giving her body time to adjust. What little pain there was slowly morphed into pleasure, and Sonja moaned softly, relaxing against Deke’s chest.

  “Ours,” Trevar declared.

  “Always,” Deke murmured in agreement.

  “Damn right I am, and you’re mine. Both of you.” Sonja wiggled her hips and both men groaned.

  “Impatient, are we?” Trevar asked, slapping her lightly on one ass cheek.
