“He will never harm you or our child again,” Tigg assured me.
“I thought…” my voice cracked when I remembered how just a few minutes ago, I thought Tigg and my child were gone from my life forever.
“Teneg will return very soon. Then we will all go home.”
“I thought he was you. I thought I’d never see either of you again.” Damn my cracking voice and despicable tears.
“I will never leave you, my love. We will be a family.”
And standing there, with three dead men at my feet, I believed him.
Chapter 21
“I’m worried about Teneg. That last bit of excitement seems to have stirred up a restlessness in him.”
I didn’t want to discuss Teneg at this moment. Perhaps in an hour or two, after I’d become reacquainted with Tigg’s huge cocks. It’d been months since I’d enjoyed them both at the same time, and I wanted him inside me—now. Tigg was poised between my open legs, lifting his head every few moments to talk about this brother. “Can’t you worry about him later? It’s been so long.”
Tigg smiled indulgently and lowered his head. His tongue resumed its whip-like assault on my pussy making me sigh in contentment. A strong webbed finger slipped inside me causing my head to writhe from side to side. Another soon joined it and I couldn’t help but beg, “Please!”
Tigg lifted his head again while his fingers continued to stroke with abandon. “He said he’s setting off to Vergent soon. I wonder what matters concern him there?”
“I…can’t…imagine.”
“There’s a woman on that planet he’s set to meet, he’s told me little about her.” A third finger joined the pair inside me now.
“Tigg! You’re teasing me.”
“Ha! This from the woman who just minutes ago was sucking both my cocks deep into her throat.” He was being ridiculous of course; I hadn’t sucked both—only one at a time.
“Don’t you want to fuck me?” I demanded.
“Of course I do, my love,” he assured me.
It’d been two weeks since the fiasco with Clay and now we were situated deep in Treox’s jungles awaiting my little egg to hatch. Tigg had built a comfortable shelter nestled among large, protective, ancient trees close to his brothers’ homes, but not too close. Finally, I’d felt secure my body had healed enough to handle Tigg’s vigorous love making, and I fully intended to take advantage of our precious privacy.
Scooting away from Tigg’s fingers, I rolled over onto my belly and backed my ass into the air tantalizingly. His hands gripped my hips and I felt his moist tips against my openings. He pushed inside me slowly, with controlled patience. My breath held as he surged forward and filled me completely. He wasn’t as immune to my charms as he’d like me to think. The weeks of waiting had been hard on him too. Sure, I’d been able to play with his cocks, bringing him to completion with long, luscious licks—as he’d done to me as well—but it wasn’t the same. I wanted full penetration; wanted him to master me with his power and strength.
My ass and pussy stretched to capacity to accommodate his massive size. Having one cock inside me just about made me come undone, but two was almost unbearable after going so long without. Tigg held me tightly, allowing no escape and thrust deep, only to withdraw and stroke forward again. Faster and faster he moved until I could no longer control my restraint. I screamed in ecstasy as I came too soon, Tigg fast joining me in his own completion. He collapsed beside me and took me into his arms while we both panted in exhaustion. Though I was sated for the moment, I knew I’d want him to take me again and again. I stroked his rods while we lay still, collecting our strength.
“I want you,” Tigg said, the evidence of his desire even now growing large in my hand. “I think I will fuck you all night long.”
The thought of him taking me over and over was both thrilling and frightening. Sometimes, on Ventillia, we’d make love for hours and hours. Tigg had taken me every way a man can take a woman. He’d bent me over the rail of our tiny balcony and held my hands behind my back while he fucked me ardently from behind. Once he’d tied me to our four-poster bed, spread eagle, and proceeded to lick every inch of my body before claiming me several times. He liked to be in control, to have me begging for his touch. And he’d bitten me many times, though I’d come to like the mixture of pleasure and pain as a climax ripped through me.
Tigg rolled over top of me and forced my legs open with his muscular thighs. His hand reached down to grip my ass, positioning me to take him inside. He entered me with both his cocks as I gripped his shoulders and arched my back. He was no gentle lover. He could take me tenderly if he tried, but his control would soon vanish and the part of him that was more animal than man would rear its head and he’d forget his sweet intentions. I didn’t mind. I wanted him to fuck me like that. I was no gentle woman, filled with inhibition. I too had a primal part inside of me that wanted to be fulfilled. His slow strokes soon became frenzied as he once more lost control. My hips rose up to meet his thrusts and soon I was screaming out in completion again.
He held me afterward, my head resting on his chest. “This woman Teneg told you about, is she native to Vergent?” I asked.
“I believe so. Why?”
“I’d heard some parts of that planet were gearing up for war.”
Tigg sighed. “Teneg always was one for intrigue.”
Unlike Tigg’s other brothers, Teneg—who I’d come to know quite well over the past weeks—was not content to spend his time eking out a living on Treox. He wanted adventure and thrills. Well, Vergent was the very hub of excitement now.
“He’ll want to borrow my ship again,” Tigg said with a sigh.
“As long as you don’t get accused of his crimes this time it should be all right.”
“There was something about Vergent that I can’t quite recall. Something about the women there.”
“Oh, you mean the little glitch they have? Perhaps we should warn your brother.”
“Glitch? What glitch.”
“After mating, the female turns into a killer bee and stings her mate to death.”
“What?” Tigg demanded, sitting up and staring at me in disbelief.
I laughed at the look on his face and held up my hands. “I’m kidding! Only kidding,” I assured him.
He lay back down beside me with a weary sigh.
The jungle made all kinds of crazy noises at night. It’d taken me a while, but I’d grown used to it. Even now, the loud buzzing of some giant insect lulled me into that calm, blissful place, just before sleep.
I was just about to slip into oblivion when Tigg sat up abruptly. “Do you hear that?”
“What? No.” He was like this most nights lately; gaze riveted across the small, darkened room on the tiny nest beneath the window. I knew what he was thinking. “It’s too soon.”
He shrugged. “These things aren’t written in stone.”
“Let’s not rush it, okay?” Sure, I was as anxious as he was so meet our little bundle of joy, but I could be patient. I reached out and pulled him back down beside me. He lay still, his arm wrapped around my shoulders, but I could see his eyes remained open. “You’re worried about your brother again, aren’t you?” Damn Teneg. Yes, he was going to be our baby’s uncle, but he was a giant pain in my ass.
“Things have finally settled down. I’m worried he’s going to mess it all up.”
“When’s he leaving?” Couldn’t be too soon for me.
“In the morning I think. He said he’d be gone for a few weeks.” He sounded doubtful.
“Are you worried you’re going to have to rescue him?”
He shrugged. “Maybe. I guess Zalix and Helix could rent a ship and go after him. I’m needed here.”
Tigg’s younger brothers were large, handsome fellows, taking after their sensible eldest brother in character—Teneg being the only troublemaker in the bunch. Still, I couldn’t picture Tigg allowing his younger siblings to venture off to Vergent to carry out a rescue mission. No. Tigg would
feel the need to go along. I’d remain behind with our baby, of course.
The old me would’ve sulked at the thought of being left out of an adventure. My past was filled with glory days of intrigue, sex, money, and excitement. But it was also filled with loneliness, loss, fear and regret. Cuddled up to my handsome mate—a man who’d proved time and again how much he loved me—and my little egg waiting to be born, I felt content.
I had to admit, it was a good feeling.
Dreaminess overcame me again, and this time Tigg remained still. His breathing grew even, letting me know he was drifting off as well. The morning would be soon enough to get wrapped up in Teneg’s drama.
Tonight belonged to Tigg and I.
