Mastering Their Mate_a Sci-Fi Alien Dark Romance

by Kallista Dane

Yes, I want more, she sent back. I want to taste you, too.

  He gave a low laugh, more of a rumble deep in his chest. Sending your thoughts back to us, now? Well done, little mate. You’ve embraced the Bond quickly, he replied. Keir guided her head to Khaun’s groin. She opened her mouth wide to sample the drop of pre-cum welling up on the head of his cock.

  She’d thought it was powerful the first time it touched her skin, but his gyron hit her full force as soon as she swallowed, a streak of liquid fire flowing to her belly. She shuddered, feeling her nipples pucker and her clit starting to throb again. Keir held her head as Khaun pumped in and out, fucking her mouth.

  The brothers knew each other’s bodies so well, they shifted her seamlessly between them, so she could take them higher together. Every time she heard a low moan, felt hands tightening in her hair, Saige reveled in her newfound power. Though they mastered her body, controlled her movements, she knew it was her lips, her tongue, stoking their fever. Building their savage hunger.

  As their gyron built hers. She swirled her tongue around the head of one while sliding her hand up and down the shaft of the other. Savoring the heady taste as she licked her way up and down Keir’s length. Cupping Khaun’s balls and running a fingernail along the underside of them while she sucked him.

  She felt Keir quiver. He muttered an oath and grabbed the back of her head as his cum spewed down her throat. She milked him dry, shuddering at the rush from his gyron pumping through her. Khaun grabbed the base of his cock with one hand, covered her hand with the other to guide her faster and faster up and down his shaft, then threw back his head and roared as his cum spurted all over her face and breasts.

  She came again. Right then. Kneeling between them, with the taste of cum in her mouth and the sticky sweet feel of it drenching her skin. A powerful climax surging over her all at once, rocketing her to the peak. Shocking in its intensity. It took her by surprise. There’d been no agonizing struggle. No self-recriminations or self-doubt. It just – happened.

  When the tremors ended, she sagged back on her haunches, gasping for breath. “I think – I think your cum has magical powers.”

  Khaun lifted her into his arms and climbed into bed. She nestled against him, content.

  “It’s not magic,” Keir said, sliding in on her other side. He swept her hair away and kissed her neck. “It’s love.”

  She drifted off to sleep with her head pillowed on Khaun’s shoulder and Keir’s arm draped around her waist.

  In the morning, she woke to an empty bed. For a few moments, she wondered if it had all been a dream. Then she found their wrist cuffs. Two wide bands of bronze, lying on top of a scribbled note.

  Sleep well and dream of us, little mate.

  * * *

  The next few days were the hardest she’d ever spent at the Rapture Dome. She didn’t take easily to being left out. Knowing they were putting the final touches on their plan without her went against all her military training. She was used to being in the center of the action, helping to make crucial decisions.

  To make things worse, they hadn’t been to see her at all the last few nights. She’d sent them a few mental messages and managed to pick up what she thought was a reply, though it may have been simply a product of her overactive imagination.

  Having their cuffs helped. They were infused with the twins’ gyron, and when she put them on, she felt close to her mates. Made to fit the huge Tharan warriors, they’d have fallen off if she’d tried to wear them on her own wrists. Instead, she wrapped them around her upper arms at night, hugging her biceps, and hid them under her mattress during the day, for fear Lady Zey would see them and take them away.

  As for the Dome mistress, she ignored Saige. The threatened punishment never materialized, and there were no new customers at night. Saige was sure it was Khaun’s and Keir’s doing, though she had no idea how they managed it. She was left alone, locked in her room. An android delivered her meals on a tray twice a day.

  Saige spent the time creating new fairy tales in her head, fanciful stories of what her life would be like in the future on a strange planet with two wickedly dominant aliens as her mates. She had some idea of what to expect when she arrived on Tharon. During their time in captivity on the Luna, the females took turns telling stories of their worlds. It helped ease the crushing boredom and took their minds off their plight.

  According to Aura and the other Tharan females, their planet was a place of great natural beauty as well as great dangers. Though they had spacecraft and high-tech weapons for defense, the inhabitants eschewed most of the modern technology found on other worlds in their daily lives, preferring to live simply. Close to nature. A peaceful society, they valued time spent with family and friends over the pursuit of material possessions. To Saige, who’d been an only child, it sounded like heaven. She’d have two loving mates and a ready-made family. Aura for a sister, her mates, Dagon and Dru, as new brothers. Keir and Khaun talked about all the other warriors as though they, too, were family. She imagined attending gatherings filled with laughter and friends, tables brimming with exotic delicacies she’d eagerly sample.

  One morning, she found a note slipped under her plate on the meal tray.

  When the next rotation cycle begins, you and Aura will be summoned to the Sola Sea. We’ve informed Lady Zey we want two lovely consorts to pleasure us this time. Remember the beautiful Luna butterfly we told you about last time we were there? We’ve heard there may be one flitting around in the sky tonight. We’d love to show it to you.

  Keir and Khaun

  She grinned. On the surface, it was nothing more than a flowery note from two lovesick males desperately trying to convince themselves their paid companions were really eager lovers. But Saige could read between the lines. They’d made contact with her ship. The Luna would be standing by tonight, ready to transport all four of them off this godforsaken rock.

  Saige whirled around the room, unable to contain her excitement. She’d be free. Tonight! Free to start a new life far away with two handsome and powerful warrior mates. Her fairy tale was about to come true.

  Chapter Fourteen

  Saige

  The hours never passed more slowly. She washed and dressed with care, readying herself for her lovers. Fantasizing all the while about how once she and Aura were free, the twins would master her body together until she screamed in ecstasy.

  The door slammed open. She whirled around, smiling. The smile died away when she saw Lady Zey accompanied by a dull gray Remulian roughly five feet tall and five feet around. A pair of unblinking yellow eyes peered out of a crease in the flabby ball of flesh atop his shoulders.

  “Here she is!” Zey sounded positively giddy. “Our own little Earther. Hot and tight, ready to welcome that magnificent cock of yours. You won’t find another human consort anywhere in this sector of the galaxy.”

  Saige shook her head from side to side, uncomprehending. “No. No. I’m supposed to go to the Sola Sea tonight. Keir and Khaun requested me.”

  If anything, Zey looked even happier. “Please excuse me, my lord. I need to have a word with your consort.” She gave him a coy look. “I want to make sure she is aware of all your special desires. Fix yourself a drink. On the house.

  Zey waited until the Remulian was browsing in the liquor cabinet with his back to them. Then she got within an inch of Saige’s face and lowered her voice to a malevolent whisper.

  “I know what you expected. I saw the note they smuggled to you. If my androids weren’t devoid of emotion, I’d say they are fiercely loyal to me. I allowed Number Seven to deliver the note. Frankly, I rather enjoyed thinking about you spending the day preparing for a vacation with those two lovestruck Tharans you wrap around your little finger. Don’t worry. They’ll get part of their request honored. Aura is with them. I’ve sent an eager little slut from Nemis DP in your place. She’ll do anything they want in exchange for a rotation cycle on a warm sandy beach. They won’t be unhappy with the switch.”

&nbs
p; The Dome mistress drew herself to her full height. “It’s time you learned your place, human,” she hissed. “I’m in charge. Not the customers, and certainly not you. You won’t be seeing the Tharan twins. Ever again. You’re going to spread your legs for this Remulian. Suck his cock if you can find it in that disgusting gray mound of flesh. Then he’s going to fuck you. If you’re really lucky, he’ll lick you all over first.”

  Her voice rose on that last comment. The Remulian heard, as Zey planned. He met Saige’s eyes in the mirrored surface inside the cabinet. She saw another crease open in the folds of flesh below his eyes, and a long grayish-green tongue snaked out. She shuddered with revulsion.

  Her shoulders slumped. She should have known all along.

  Grow up. Dreams don’t come true for people like you. Even your own parents didn’t want you. That’s why they dumped you on me. You’re a bad bad girl. Now see what you’ve done! Look how hard you made my cock get. You deserve to be punished. The litany played over and over in her head. The words Doud spoke every time she cursed him and swore she’d get away some day while he stripped her naked and then whipped her.

  You’re not a helpless girl anymore.

  Khaun’s calm assessment of her from the other night popped into her mind, drowning out the abusive tirade playing in her head. She took a deep breath and squared her shoulders. He was right. She wasn’t a helpless girl. She was a woman in love – and she was a soldier.

  Saige forced herself to banish all emotion and call upon on her military training. If the twins knew what was happening, they’d come to get her. But after reading the note, Lady Zey was already suspicious. She probably had her squad of androids on high alert, prepared for any trouble that might arise when the Tharans found out Saige wouldn’t be joining them.

  Keir and Khaun had no idea their note had been discovered. If they came to get her, they’d have to fight their way through the guards. She had no doubt they’d risk their lives to try and save her. But in doing so, they’d destroy any chance of rescuing Aura. All three of them could be killed. The twins’ only hope for freeing their sister was to leave with her from the cabin on the Sola Sea as soon as the Luna made contact with them.

  But she knew they’d never abandon her. They were Tharan warriors, trained from birth to protect their females, especially their chosen mate.

  Suddenly, she understood what it meant to love. What her father must have felt when he rushed to his stricken wife’s side, knowing at any moment he, too, could be bitten by the deadly creature that attacked her. She loved Keir and Khaun enough to put their safety, their lives, before her own.

  Saige knew what she had to do. She opened her mind to the Bond, sent out a terse message. Keir. Khaun. I’m not coming with you. You’ve set me free to enjoy sex again, and I thank you for that, but now that I’ve had a few days to think about it, I realize it was only the sex I loved. I don’t want to become your mate, live out my life in a strange world, stuck with the two of you until I die. I want more than you can give. I want to do all the things that turn me on, wicked things I’ve never admitted to you. I’m going to enjoy going to the casino and getting fucked night after night, each time by someone new. Finding out all the ways a male can make me come. I don’t love you. Take Aura and go.

  She nearly collapsed in tears as she sent out the last few words. But she pulled herself together, forced her lips into a smile, and reached out a hand to the Remulian. “I am Saige, your consort for the evening. It is my honor to serve you, my lord.”

  “Serve me? Oh, you will,” he grunted.

  The disgusting creature turned to Lady Zey. “Get out. I’ve had enough of you and your endless pattering. I want what I paid for. But you’re wrong, Zey. I’m not going to lick her. She’s going to swallow every drop of my cum then she’s going to lick me all over for hours until I get hard again. And then I’m going to give her a proper Remulian fucking in every hole she has. Before it’s over, she’ll be screaming.” He gave Zey a shove toward the door. “See to it that we are not disturbed, no matter what you hear.”

  Saige tried not to gag with revulsion as the Remulian waddled toward her. She lay down on the bed, pulled her skirt up to her waist, closed her eyes, and checked out, shutting her body down and sending her mind far away.

  * * *

  The scent. That’s what first pulled her back. Breathing in the heady mix of healthy male sweat mixed with that seductive gyron.

  Gradually, she became aware of her other senses. The muted buzz of a photon blazar. The dull thunk as a body hit the ground. Thudding footsteps pounding along a dark corridor.

  As she slowly reconnected mind and body, sensations poured over her. A dizzying rush of blood to her head, smacking against a broad hard surface with every rhythmic thud.

  Running. Keir was running full tilt, with her draped over his shoulder. Though they were identical twins, she’d picked up one vital difference in the time she spent with them. Each brother’s gyron had a distinctive aroma. Keir’s was subtly seductive while Khaun’s had a raw edge to it. She couldn’t see him, but by the potent wave of gyron hitting her, she knew Khaun was blazing a trail ahead of his twin, picking off the guards as they appeared, by the sound of it.

  “So, you’re finally back.”

  Keir sounded pissed. He knew her well enough to read her body like a book, and though she hadn’t given any indication that she was awake and aware, he’d sensed her return to consciousness. His voice was steady, and she marveled at the strength he must have, able to bear her full weight at a dead run and not even be short of breath.

  “What are you doing?”

  “Isn’t it obvious? We’re saving your sweet little ass,” he shot back.

  “But I sent you a message. Told you I didn’t want to go. Told you I don’t love you.”

  “You little fool!” Keir’s harsh swat on her upturned bottom brought her crashing back to reality. “Did you really think we’d leave you?”

  “Yes, we got your message. You did say you don’t love us. And you’ll pay dearly for that statement later,” Khaun chimed in. “You can’t lie to us anymore. We told you that after you experienced the Bond with us the first time. Besides, you’re terrible at it. Did you really think we’d believe you wanted to fuck slimeball aliens night after night when you could have the two hottest warriors in the galaxy battling over which one of us gets to lick your slit first?”

  “Shut up and pay attention to your job,” Keir muttered. “We’ll have time for all that later. Right now, we’re about to encounter another Rapture Dome defense squad. I hear them up ahead.”

  “Put me down and give me a weapon.” Saige began struggling, only to freeze in shock when Keir’s hand gave her backside another rough smack.

  “Stop it, you bothersome little human! It’s hard enough to fire accurately at a dead run without having you ruin my aim with all your squirming.”

  “Quit treating me like one of your helpless Tharan females. I’m a soldier, dammit! I’m trained to fight. Now put me down!”

  “Hush, Saige.” Aura’s voice came from somewhere ahead. “Keir can’t risk putting you on your feet and having you dizzy or disoriented. You’d just get in our way. I’m covering his left flank. Khaun is on his right. And unlike my incompetent brother, I’m a crack shot, even on the run.”

  Saige heard a loud hum, then another thunk. “Got him,” Aura announced. “That’s what comes of endlessly bugging two older brothers to take you along when they go hunting.”

  “She’s right.”

  Khaun’s voice held a hint of amusement and Saige marveled at how he could stay so levelheaded in the heat of battle. “I’d put our little sister up against any Tharan warrior when it comes to hitting a target.”

  The rest of the conversation was cut off as they rounded a corner into a volley of fire by more android guards. Keir swiveled left, blocking Saige’s body with his own. She felt him stumble at the same time she caught the stench of sizzling flesh.

  “You’ve
been hit!”

  Keir let out a muffled curse as Khaun responded. “He’s fine. I’ve taken worse hits when we practice maneuvers back home.” But Keir didn’t protest when Khaun transferred her to his own shoulder.

  “Please, Khaun. Put me down.” She was begging, in tears. “Let me go before you get hurt, too. I’m okay. I can run. I can help fight.”

  “We’re nearly there. Besides, if I put you down, I can’t use your body for cover.”

  Saige had been in tight spots before, and she recognized the remark for what it was – a hardened soldier’s attempt to lighten the seriousness of their situation with grim battlefield humor. Though it went against every impulse in her, she wrapped her arms around his waist to take some of her weight off his upper body and tried to stay still.

  He leaned around the corner, shielding her, and fired a blast.

  “You got one,” Aura murmured. “As far as I can tell, there are only two more in this squad. Unfortunately, they’re between us and the entrance to the Sola Sea dome.”

  “Keep covered and let me—”

  “Let you do what?” she interrupted him. “You’ve got your hands full already.”

  Without another word, Aura reached behind her and tucked her weapon into the waistband of her gown. Then she ripped open the front of her dress and darted out into the corridor waving both hands in the air, screaming. “Thank the gods I found you! You’ve got to help me! They’ve gone mad. They’re storming through the Rapture Dome, trying to kill us all.”

  Confused, the androids held their fire. Aura never faltered. Without missing a beat, she reached for her blazar, drew it, and blasted first one and then the other, all the while running straight at them, shrieking at the top of her lungs.

  Both guards crumpled to the floor before they realized what was happening. Aura stopped to check on one, delivered another blast, then stepped over his body. “Come on! Reinforcements won’t be far behind.”
