Rival

by Tatum Throne

  Before Yorn could stop it from happening, He felt his body spiraling out fast and going over the edge. His cum started to secrete from his tongue. The urge to kiss Gage was an overpowering chant. He pulled his lips around as they kissed hard. His cum shot from the split in his tongue. Ejaculating inside Gage’s mouth. Gage moaned as the secondary ejaculation happened deep within his ass. No male had ever made him come with his secondary ejaculation before until he met Gage. The truth of how deep their relationship was becoming struck Yorn hard. The talons gripping Gage’s cock started to stroke him and hold him tighter. Gage cried out. “I’m close.”

  “Come for me, baby.”

  Gage moaned as his dick got harder and harder. He pumped his cock in and out of the talons, rubbing himself against the sheet. He cried out coming hard. Sending his jizz flying deep inside the talon locked down upon is sex organ. Yorn cried out, loving the feel of his hot spray going deep within his talon.

  Every hit of the jizz was like a powerful jolt to his body and his senses. It was then Yorn knew how much he loved Gage and wasn’t ready to ever let him go. Ever so slowly, his talons released Gage, and he pulled the male close to his body. He held him tight, hoping he wouldn’t let go of him anytime soon. It was a long time before Yorn fell asleep. He waited until Gage was asleep first.

  * * * *

  The next morning, Gage was awake before Yorn. Considering the late night they had, he wasn’t surprised at all. He went to find Hunter. He was up too. Outside and looking around at the mountains that jutted up against the compound.

  “What’s that noise?”

  “There’s a wild beast that lives in the mountains. It’s not safe to go out there. Trust me. I’ve seen it face to face.”

  “I imagine not.”

  “So, tell me what’s going on between you and the alien.”

  Gage sighed. “It’s complicated.”

  “You always liked the complicated if I remember right. Whatever happened to that guy you were dating before you left?”

  “He cheated on me. I caught him fucking another dude the night I went missing.”

  “No fucking way.”

  “Yep. Walked in on both of them. He was surprised to say the least. I almost killed him I was so pissed.”

  “You wouldn’t have.”

  “I thought about it long and hard.”

  “Well, that part of your life is over.”

  “Yeah.”

  “So, is there a way back home?” Hunter asked.

  Gage sighed. “Honestly, I don’t know. I think there may be but with people coming through it may block the path. It may just be a one-way ticket.”

  “Perhaps not. We could try stepping through again.”

  He couldn’t leave Yorn. Not again. “I don’t know.”

  There was silence between them.

  “Tell me about this world,” Hunter said.

  “There are three classes of people. The rich, the poor, and the gladiators who fight for entertainment. Yorn is a gladiator. He took over his brother’s contract when he died in the arena.”

  “What did he do before all this?” Hunter asked.

  “I don’t know. He’s not really open about his life before everything.”

  “Have you seen him fight?”

  “Yeah. It was deadly. Think of it like mixed martial art fighting but deadlier. It’s scary how much they give up when they step into the ring.”

  “What’s the cost?”

  Gage ran his hand through his hair. “The loser is forced into sex with the Elite at the end of the match.”

  Surprise lifted Hunter’s brows. “Has Yorn ever lost a battle?”

  “Not yet.”

  “He’s that good?”

  “Yes.”

  Pride swelled through Gage’s body when he realized how much he loved and cherished Yorn. If he lost him to the Elite, he knew it would devastate both of them. As it was, the Elite knew all about their venom and the need to have it milked. They knew nothing about how Gage could milk the poisonous venom from his body and in doing so lessen the impact on his gladiator, making him the strongest and deadliest of all the gladiators. If they did, he was certain that they would never let him into the arena. None of the rich would even put their lives in jeopardy to have a gladiator like Yorn if they knew he had a secret weapon that could kill them.

  “So what happens now?” Hunter asked.

  “Are there anymore coming through the hole to us?”

  “I left instructions. I don’t know if they’ll be followed. They may shut your research down and call both of us a lost cause.”

  There was a chance that that could happen, but Gage wasn’t convinced that it would. “How bad is it now?”

  “We lost another quadrant. It’s not good. It was an earthquake that took them out.”

  “Oh, God.”

  “Yeah. The devastation was ruthless. There’s not much hope for our world, is there?”

  “Humanity has a chance if we can get off the world and start a colony somewhere.”

  “I really don’t think anyone will want people like us to come to their planet and just start causing trouble.”

  “No. But they need us. Aliens like Yorn need us.”

  “For what?” Hunter asked.

  How could Gage even begin to explain what he did for Yorn? “It’s complicated.”

  “You keep saying that. How about you start putting some explanations behind what you’re saying.”

  “Yorn has venom that needs extracting. Only I’ve been able to do it without dying.”

  “No shit. Are there any side effects?”

  “It’s like taking human growth hormone.”

  “Whoa. HGH?”

  “Yeah. I’ve never felt this good in a long while.”

  Across the compound, Kelin was walking down from the hillside. His dark hair blowing in the wind over his shoulders. Hunter whistled low. “Who is that?”

  “That’s one of the compound caretakers. His name is Kelin.”

  “Does he fight? He looks like a gladiator?” Hunter asked.

  “I don’t know.”

  “Wow. Do all these aliens look like that?”

  “Not all of them.”

  Gage tried to look at Kelin from Hunter’s perspective, but he didn’t see what he was seeing. It was clear that he was attracted to the male in a way that Gage would never be. He cut across the back yard and came up onto the veranda. Surprise moved through his gaze when he looked from Hunter to Gage.

  “Who is this?” Kelin asked.

  “Hunter. He passed through the wormhole last night. It’s the connection from where we came from.”

  The truth of what Gage was saying seemed to register on Kelin’s mind. The man was smart. He knew what the ramifications.

  “Is he going to the fight with you tonight?” Kelin asked.

  “No.”

  “What do you mean, no? I want to go. Hell yes, I want to see two gladiators battle it out.”

  “It may not be safe for both of us. It may attract too much attention,” Gage said.

  “I’ll be sure to protect both of you.”

  Hunter had a satisfied grin on his face that Gage didn’t like. It was obvious to Gage that man saw something he liked. “Will you show me around?” Hunter asked.

  “You both can come along,” Kelin said.

  As Kelin showed Hunter around, Gage decided to take the opportunity to look at what scientific equipment Yorn owned in his lab. If he was going to do his research, he wanted a high-tech lab to do it in. It became quickly apparent that the facility was going to be perfect for what Gage needed to do. Everything he could ask for was there. The only problem was that he didn’t read the native language. It would be some trial and error as far as he was concerned. Hunter pulled Kelin aside, chatting him up about the different aspects of the lab. That gave Gage time to look around without the feeling of being watched.

  Gage moved his hand over one of the glass consoles, bringing it to life.
It glowed a light green. A drawer opened within the wall, jutting out without a sound. He glanced over at Kelin, who seemed to be really interested in Hunter. Gage smoothed his fingers over the tech, loving the silky smoothness of it. A panel within the drawer opened, revealing instruments that Gage had no idea how to use.

  Kelin came up behind him. “I wouldn’t mess with those.”

  “What are they?” Gage asked.

  “Just don’t touch.”

  Gage wanted to question the alien more, but Kelin had put an end to the conversation by pressing a smooth button to close it.

  By the time Gage finished up the tour of the lab, it was time to leave for the arena. They crossed the courtyard in time to see Yorn with the formal guards, being led away to an awaiting ship. As always, the formal guards looked as though they too trained as gladiators. Gage watched as Yorn’s ship took off. Kelin was busy readying the ship. He flew them to the arena where they landed near the market where Gage had been bought. Kelin took them through a back entrance that looked like it was used for slaves. As always, they stayed in a hidden part of the arena where no spectators would focus on any of them.

  A chill was in the air. Anticipation raced through Gage’s body as he worked his gaze through the crowd, trying to catch some sign of Yorn out there. The noise of the crowd was deafening. He couldn’t see Yorn anywhere. And as always, he seemed to find him first, pinning him with a hard stare that always made the hair on the back of his head stand on end.

  When their eyes connected, it was like coming home for the first and last time. Yorn was becoming his everything and there wasn’t anything that could stop that. Gage watched as the fight got underway. It was brutal. Hunter clung to his arm, watching in wide-eyed confusion as the two males went at it.

  “Holy fuck,” Hunter whispered.

  “I know. It gets worse.”

  “How could it possibly get worse?” Hunter asked.

  “The loser gets ganged banged by a bunch of the rich who’ve been chosen from the crowd.”

  “No way.”

  “Yep.”

  “Has Kelin?”

  “I don’t know. I’ve never seen him fight.”

  “Never?”

  “Not once.”

  A shiver of fear raced through Gage’s blood. As always he was frightened of what could happen. He watched as the fight took longer and longer. All Gage wanted was his gladiator back. With every hit and shove and strike, the crowd cheered for their favorite. It was clear to Gage that Yorn was one of the favorites. Gage didn’t start breathing again until the match was called, and his alien lover was declared the victor.

  The ceremonial horns were blown, and the Elite started coming down from the box seats. The losing gladiator was held up by the arms and legs by the men who always came for Yorn. His armor was ripped from his body and flung to the dirt ground. Hunter watched with cold fear in his eyes as the gladiator was taken by the aliens.

  They were brutal with their touch. It always left a bad taste in Gage’s mouth. All he could think about was getting home and tending to Yorn’s wounds and his venom. He didn’t want anything bad happening to his alien. Yorn parted the crowd, coming for them in the tunnel. His hand found Gage’s and he gave him a reassuring squeeze.

  “Let’s get home.”

  Yorn seemed more anxious to get home than he normally did. Gage wondered what brought on the sudden desire. He hoped his gladiator wasn’t more injured than he was showing. Had something happened to his stinger? Was he in pain from his venom? Whatever was the cause of his discomfort, Gage wanted to find out. Yorn whispered something to Kelin, who nodded and looked over at Hunter. “Come with me.”

  Gage watched the two men take off into the crowd. He wanted to know where he was going, but Yorn was too busy leading him in the opposite direction. Confusion swam through Gage as Yorn led him further into the undercroft of the arena. There were gladiators in all states of dress and undress. Some were in the bathhouse, preparing for the rest of the night.

  Some were having sex with other males. There were women slaves in the bathhouse bathing the men, but the men didn’t appear to be paying them any attention. Curiosity had Gage’s head spinning. He wanted to know what was going on with Yorn. He was acting strangely. He shoved open a wooden door at the end of the hall, slamming it shut behind them. Yorn turned, grabbing hold of Gage and shoving him against the table, kissing him hard.

  Their mouths connected in a hurried and impatient way that Gage felt all the way down to the tips of his toes. Yorn licked his fork tongue deep within Gage’s mouth, sending a seductive twist of anticipation racing through his blood. His heart was pounding within his ears. Yorn reached between their bodies stroking his cock roughly.

  They were face to face as he worked his muscle out of his pants before Gage had any say in the matter—not that he would have stopped his alien anyway. He wanted this alien fast and hard. He wanted to feel his cock ramming up into his ass. He wanted to feel his talons locked down onto his prick as it wept in pent up frustration. He wanted to feel the sweet taste of his cum ejaculating from his tongue and the hot ejaculation that would come from his inner cock.

  Somewhere in the back of Gage’s sex-fogged mind, he realized that he was supposed to be doing something but for the life of him he couldn’t think of what that thing was until Yorn was naked. Yorn’s stinger was out, glistening with its sharpened point. Despite Yorn’s need, he wasn’t stopping to allow Gage to milk him. Their cries of pleasure became more frantic. Yorn grabbed Gage by the ass, pulling his ass cheeks wide to expose his rim so they could fuck face to face. As he did, his inner cock shot out. Gage groaned as Yorn shoved his big cock deep into his ass, using the table and his wide thick thigh as leverage to fuck him. Yorn held up his legs as the wooden table hit against the wall.

  Twisted up in his need for Yorn, Gage didn’t realize that Yorn’s stinger was ready to strike his cock until it was too late. Yorn arched back using his cock to shove in deep, aligning his stinger with Gage’s dick as he did. Gage cried out as his alien’s stinger struck him in the shaft. Blind pain and searing heat went through his body as Yorn continued to fuck him hard.

  As quickly as the pain started, it faded, leaving only an intense sexual heat that Gage had never experienced with Yorn before. Euphoria tripped through his body as Yorn fucked him as his talons latched onto his cock, milking, pumping, and sucking his pre-cum from his body. Before Gage could stop it from happening, he came hard, shooting his spunk.

  The talon latched on, sucking and pumping Gage dry. He was breathing hard as his body went into an orgasmic seizure. His body stiffened as his cock was hit with short hard spasms. Yorn cried out shouting as his orgasm spun through his body. He kissed Gage roughly, sending his cum ejaculating from the fork in his tongue. As his orgasm rocked him, Gage felt his ass tighten down on Yorn’s cock, squeezing tight as his inner cock came hard. It was all too much for Gage to process as he swallowed the spunk shooting from Yorn’s tongue.

  Ever so slowly he felt the stinger release its grip on his shaft. Slowly, the talons started to release. Yorn held him tightly as his inner cock retracted. Their eyes locked. Emotion played through Gage’s heart. He felt like he should have been pissed that Yorn had stung him, but he felt an odd sense possessiveness he didn’t know how or when to let go of. All he knew was that, Yorn was his, and he didn’t want his alien stinging anyone else, ever.

  “Are you okay?” Yorn asked.

  Gage nodded. “Yes.”

  “I’m sorry I couldn’t wait. I had to have you. There’s something about you that turns me on.”

  Gage ran his hand over Yorn’s face. “I feel the same way too.”

  Relief moved through the alien’s eyes. Gage couldn’t let go of Yorn. He wanted to be there for him forever, but somehow he knew that wouldn’t always be the case.

  Chapter Eight

  During the day, Gage was spending most of his time in the lab. Yorn was letting him indulge himself. He wanted to give his lov
er everything he possibly could. Hunter was also spending a lot of time with him. After their encounter at the arena, Yorn didn’t know how to file away what had happened between them. He didn’t sting lovers.

  In fact, Gage was the first he’d ever stung. It’d been impulsive and rushed. He didn’t consider the consequences of his rash action or the fact that it could have killed Gage. The impact of what had happened had been more powerful and intense than he ever expected. And all Yorn could think about was doing it all over again. That felt so wrong and so right.

  “Sir.”

  “Yes, Kelin?”

  “There’s been a communication from the Elite about the fight tonight.”

  “What is it?”

  “It’s marked confidential.”

  It wasn’t often that the Elite communicated him about an upcoming match. The fact that they were now put him on edge. “Thank you.”

  Kelin hung back and waited as he opened the correspondence on his communication tablet. He read the document as a chill raced through his blood.

  “What is it?”

  Kelin’s voice felt very far away. Across the courtyard, he saw Gage and Hunter walk around. They were both smiling and laughing in the second sun’s sunshine. “The match tonight is to the death. They are asking me to get my affairs in order.”

  “Sir?”

  They both were thinking the same thing without even asking. If the match was to the death, the victorious would be fucked by the Elite. It was now apparent that they wanted a piece of Yorn’s ass for all the world to see.

  “Don’t do this.”

  “I don’t have a choice.”

  “We can run.”

  “They will hunt us down and kill us in the arena. We have no choice in the matter.”

  Everything that Yorn had hoped for with Gage would never happen. They would be torn apart, and there was nothing he could do to stop it from happening. He would win this match and then be taken. Gage wouldn’t be able to handle that. He wouldn’t be able to see him taken. And then what would happen if he killed one of the Elite with his stinger? He would be executed. So, tonight was his death no matter what he did. “I want you in charge of the compound. Upon my death, I leave you everything.”
