The Love Goddess Brands Her Cowboys

by Raven Knights

  Later, when they were all relaxing in the living room, Chad sitting next to his beloved mother, ignoring the other’s chats, said to her, “I just found out the story.”

  “I didn’t go voluntarily, son.” She cupped his cheek. “And I think it was right to leave you with your father. I was so happy when he finally let his love out and gave you the ranch. I know it means a lot to you.”

  “It always will.” He couldn’t help feeling a pang, in spite of his happiness. After all, before this she had never made contact with him. “This is where I lived all my life and I won’t let Pa down.”

  “As you shouldn’t. Once you learn how to travel from one universe to another, you will see how easy and quick it will be to commute to earth from Venus. You’ll be able to spend as much time at the ranch as you like.”

  He nodded and smiled, relieved about that. When his mother grew serious, he caught her gaze. “Is anything wrong, Mother?”

  “You must never tell Asa the truth. He’s happy now. Let’s not confuse him. He won’t believe you if you start talking about Venus anyway. Let him continue to think I left him. He’ll only think you are crazy if you start talking about other worlds.”

  Chad nodded, feeling the truth of her words. “I won’t tell him. But…I have to let him know I’m married. That’s what a bonding is, isn’t it?”

  She smiled again, her eyes twinkling. “To a human, yes. Asa will probably want to throw you a wedding.” Then she frowned. “You can’t tell him about Diego.”

  Chad laughed. “Don’t worry. I’ll leave that part out.”

  Diego must have been listening to him because he laughed too. “I won’t let Asa in on our secret,” he said. “I doubt he’d understand.”

  Chad chuckled and shook his head.

  “But you do need to have a proper bonding ceremony on Venus,” his mother said to Chad. “We have our own forms of weddings and I’m sure Star, as a young love goddess, will want to be a bride on her own planet. Right, Star?”

  Chad glanced over at Star, admiring how much she looked like her exotic, beautiful mother. They were seated on another sofa, side by side, holding hands.

  “Dear, you do want to sanction this marvelous bonding on Venus, don’t you?” Catina asked her.

  Star nodded. “Sure.” Her grin lit her pretty face. “I certainly want to show off my two handsome, wonderful men to everyone I know.”

  “So we’re just trophy husbands to you?” Diego put in and they all laughed.

  When the mirth died down, Star sobered as Chad watched her closely. “Why so serious suddenly, sugar?”

  She looked up at him with huge brown eyes that made him melt inside. “I wouldn’t care if the two of you were ugly. That’s the truth. I’ve come to know who you both are inside and that’s the reason why I love you both.” Her gaze traveled to Diego, who looked unusually serious himself. “Never doubt that I love your souls.”

  “That’s why we love you too, Star,” Diego said, without cracking a smile or blinking an eye.

  Chad felt another damn lump forming in his throat as he nodded his agreement. “You’re a beautiful woman, Star. If possible, you’re even more beautiful inside than out.”

  “Absolutely,” Diego put in.

  Star was wiping her eyes. “I’m so lucky to have you two,” she said, quietly. Then she turned to her mother. “We really don’t need a large ceremony. You know I don’t like to show off my position in society. All we need is our families and the Goddess who will bless our union.”

  Chad smiled at her. “I agree,” he said.

  “Me too,” Diego said.

  “Then,” Star’s mother said, “We’ll have the ceremony as soon as possible.”

  Chapter Twenty-Five

  After Chad landed on Venus, he leaned against a tree and shut his eyes against the dizziness, shocked at the strange weightless feeling and the speed of traveling through space. One moment he had been on the ranch. The next moment, after Catina had waved her arms, he found himself twirling upside down and round and round in outer space, landing with a thud in this unfamiliar place. It had taken maybe two seconds, but he felt disoriented from the ride.

  Two women grabbed his arms. “Hey, are you all right, Chad?” Star asked, anxiously.

  “Space travel is so hard on some the first time,” Catina said, in a worried voice. “Can somebody get him a drink?”

  “I’m fine.” He forced his eyes open, letting the dizziness subside. When he could finally see clearly, he looked around, the breath leaving his body as he took in the utter beauty of the planet. “Wow,” he said, aware that everybody was looking at him to see his reaction.

  “Like it?” Star asked, sounding proud.

  “Hell, yes.” He looked up at the sky, which looked like one giant sunset. Clouds and stars of every color and shape filled the sky and the stars twinkled bright. “Is that bright green circle the moon?” he asked, stumbling around, fascinated.

  Star still clung to his arm. “One of them. It’s the only moon you can see tonight. We have three. One is red and one is pink.”

  Chad shook his head then lowered his gaze to look around. The trees, like the sky, looked like nothing on earth. They had black trunks with golden sparkle on them and the leaves were gold, silver, and green and they seemed to glisten. Below his feet was yellow grass. Although the colors clashed, they all seemed to meld together and present a picture of beauty. “It’s so colorful,” he murmured.

  Star grabbed his hand and pulled him out from behind the trees and he marveled at the heart shaped houses. Not all of them were shaped like hearts, but many were. The smell of the village also pleased him. It reminded him of an exotic scent that he couldn’t quite name. “Is this where you live?” he asked, squeezing her hand.

  “It’s where everybody lives,” Star said, cheerfully. “We’re a tiny planet, but an important one. We are the planet of love. We monitor relationships all over the universe and, since I’m now married, I will have to do some matchmaking during the day while you guys are on earth tending your ranch.”

  Chad felt overwhelmed again…and happy. He caught Diego’s gaze, his friend’s merry eyes. “I’ll like it here.”

  “Of course,” Diego said. “This is a happy place, although you’ll learn to be a warrior because we are often attacked by darker planets that want to wipe us out. But the Gods seem to be on our side…the Gods of the universe. We’ve never lost a battle yet.”

  “Be happy to help out,” Chad said and he meant it. This place was worth fighting for.

  “The women fight too,” Star said. When Chad looked concerned, she laughed. “Don’t look at me that way. We’ve never lost one soldier in battle. Fate is with us…with love.”

  “Catina is the best psychic,” Diego said, grinning at Chad’s mother. “She knows when we’re going to be attacked and can tell us a few days in advance. We’re always prepared. Nobody else in the universe has a psychic as gifted as your mother, amigo.”

  Chad reached over and hugged his mother, proud.

  “When are we going to have the ceremony?” Star asked and Chad expected to hear that it would be held maybe a few months in the future.

  “Right now,” Star’s mother said.

  “Now?” Catina asked before Chad could say it. “I thought we’d have a few hours.”

  “Why?” Catina asked. “The Great One is free to do it and at our house. She’s ready now and we aren’t going to have a fancy ceremony. May as well seal the bonding right away.”

  Star, excited, hugged Chad first, then ran to Diego and hugged him. “Gods of Venus, yes! Let’s do it right away!”

  Chad looked down at his western garb. “Do I have to change into something fancy?”

  “No,” Star said, as everyone giggled at him. Chad scowled at Diego who was laughing the loudest.

  “What’s the joke?” he asked, feeling like an outsider.

  “The ceremony is done in the nude,” Diego said, winking at him.

  Chad didn
’t know how to respond to that. He shouldn’t have been surprised.

  “We have to show our love in front of The Great One,” Star said. “Watching somebody making love is commonplace here.”

  Chad shut his eyes. “Of course.”

  “So let’s do it,” Diego said. He clapped a hand on Chad’s shoulder. “You’ll be so into the sex, you won’t even notice The Great One. She’ll be discreet and it’s not like she hasn’t sealed a billion bondings before.”

  Chad snapped his eyes open and found himself staring at Star, her bright eyes sparkling in the starlight, her head tilted as her braids fell to one side. His cock stirred. He wanted to seal the bonding. He wanted to make it as official as possible. “I’m ready,” he said as he kept his gaze on Star.

  Star grinned, ran up to him and hugged him again. “Let’s go,” she said, pulling on his hand. “See that silver heart house just down the way?”

  Chad nodded.

  “That’s my house. That’s where it will be. Let’s go.”

  Chad let himself be lead toward the shining house. It stood out from the others, maybe because it belonged to a love goddess. “Is this where we’re going to live?” he asked as he stalked along, taking in the sights.

  “We’re going to change it a lot.” Diego was the one who answered. “Kind of like you changed your sex room, Chad. But we may as well live there. The location is great and it’s huge on the inside.”

  Chad lifted his eyebrows. He wondered how big it could be. It looked fairly small and the heart shape would cut down on the ceiling space.

  “It doesn’t look like a heart on the inside,” Diego said, reading him well. “The heart is only on the outside, a symbol of what we stand for here. Inside it transforms and looks much like an earth house.”

  Chad nodded, taking his word for it. He felt a bubble of happiness inside of him. Truly, all his dreams had come true. There was nothing left except to enjoy the wonderful life he would lead.

  Chapter Twenty-Six

  Star held both of her men’s hands as they stepped into her house and she got a kick out of Chad’s reaction to the long, long corridor and the red walls and hearts hanging from the ceiling.

  “Well, you were right. It doesn’t look like a heart,” Chad mumbled, looking around, intrigued.

  “The houses here are all the same,” Diego said, cheerfully. They are very long and don’t have stairs.”

  Star noticed Chad touching a shimmering red sofa, frowning. “Why is everything red? Even the walls? It’s making me blind.”

  “Red is the color of love,” Star said, looking up at his puzzled face.

  “Frankly the house is decorated awfully feminine,” Diego put in. He had never been inside her house before and was also looking around as they walked down the long corridor. “Chad, you and I will fix it to our liking and Star can keep her bedroom the way she wants.”

  Star bristled. “So I have nothing to say about the décor?” she snapped. “I like red. It helps my magic and inspires me to make good love matches.”

  Diego squeezed her hand. “Oh, the house will inspire you after Chad and I are done. Don’t you think our room at the ranch is inspiring?”

  Star was about to argue, but she shut her mouth. She couldn’t. Wow, it would be uber-hot to have a house full of mirrors and sex toys. Maybe her men knew what they were talking about.

  The three of them, with their mothers behind them, walked past many shut doors. Some were empty. Some had Star’s files in them. She had to keep track of the missed love connections in the universe and try to straighten them out. That took up a lot of space. Finally she stopped before her bedroom and looked over her shoulder at her mother. “It will happen in here?” she asked, hesitantly, and felt a quiver that was both excitement and a little bit of fear.

  The Great One is already there,” her mother said, smiling gently. “I can feel her. We will wait out here until it is over and set up the food and cake.”

  Star nodded, then put her hand on the doorknob. Taking a deep breath, she pulled open the door and found herself blinded by a bright gold-yellow light that she recognized as the Queen of the Love Goddesses, called The Great One. Quickly, she shut the door.

  The Queen floated in the air, a gorgeous woman with deep ebony skin, florescent amber eyes, perfect features and a wide, shimmering white smile. She wore her normal white lace dress.

  Chad, beside her, gulped loudly. “Are…are you an angel?”

  She shook her head from side to side.

  “No, idiot, she’s a love goddess,” Diego said, irritated. “She is THE love goddess. Don’t you feel her goodness?”

  Star did. She turned to Chad as he nodded. “I do.”

  “Your bond is strong,” The Great One said, in a feminine but booming voice.

  “Yes,” they all agreed at the same time.

  She grinned. “I love success stories. Now come and show me your love so I can seal your bond for eternity. You all do know that the bond cannot be broken and that it lasts an eternity, even after death on Venus. Venusians move on to another world after that, but the bond never breaks. You know this and accept it? One at a time.”

  “Yes, indeed,” Diego said, quickly.

  “Oh, you bet,” Star said, rubbing her thumb over the men’s knuckles.

  Chad hesitated only a moment then said, “I want this very much.”

  The Great One threw some stars at them and Star could feel them twinkling down gently on her shoulders. She supposed they were receiving stronger powers, but asked no questions.

  “Show me your love,” The Great One said. “I will fade away, but still be here as the witness. Star, take the men to your bed and show me your triad love.”

  At that, she flickered and disappeared, but her aura was still very much in the room. Star looked over at Diego, then at Chad, seeing them sharing a knowing gaze. She loved how they could communicate with their eyes and she even liked how they blocked her out during sex so that she could be completely surprised at what they would do.

  Chad lifted her and carried to her bed, a king size number that spread from wall to wall. A…what else?...red bedspread covered the mattress. When they reached the bed, Chad handed her to Diego and Diego set her down gently. The men blinked and their clothes all disappeared and Star found herself staring from one huge cock to the other, excitement filling her.

  Diego sat on the bed, leaned over and kissed her, his mouth magical, his busy hand, fondling her pussy, even more magical. Lust overtook her as their tongues dueled and she tasted his hot male essence, making her pliant. Her nectar poured from her sex rolling down her thigh.

  Chad moved to the foot of her bed and climbed on. “We need to do this right,” he said to Diego.

  Star felt a shiver of excitement. Do what right? She could hardly wait. Meanwhile, Diego kissed her again and Chad positioned himself between her thighs, sticking his fingers up her aching cunt. He bent his finger and she screamed into Diego’s mouth and shuddered completely as Chad hit her g-spot. Instead of stopping, he fondled her g-spot again and again and she would have been wildly kicking and thrashing except that Diego held down her arms and Chad restrained her legs with his own stronger ones.

  “Well, she’s certainly ready for fun now,” Chad said.

  Through watery eyes, Star could see him moving off of her, his blue eyes heated and mischievous. “Oh, just hurry!” she pleaded, her head thrashing back, her stomach coiled with tension that could barely be contained.

  “When we want to,” Chad said, calmly. “Remember…” he pinched her clit, “…it is never up to you in the bedroom, sugar.”

  Her g-spot still blazed with fire. “M-male chauvinist,” she managed, her body parts twitching where they weren’t held down.

  “During sex, yes,” Diego put in, “and you love it.”

  She couldn’t argue, but she was eager for her two lovers to do their worst to her. She could hear herself whimpering as Diego kissed her and rolled them to their sides so that he
was facing her, his cock rubbing against her pussy. Then Chad pressed up against her back so that his hard cock rubbed tantalizingly against her ass.

  “Relax,” Diego said and he positioned himself and thrust his delicious cock into her wet and pulsing pussy. Just as she was ready to throw her arms around him and pump, he withdrew and Chad came at her from the other side, his cock rammed inside of her, way up to her womb and suddenly she gasped as she knew what was going to happen.

  Chad pulled out and Diego entered. They went slow at first then faster and faster until she was yelping and sobbing. In counterpoint they took her over and over again and she had no time for relief. Their two hard bodies sandwiched her now, their cocks heating her, throwing her into a world she had never entered before. The sensations rolled through her in an endless whirl of tension and heaven. One cock built on top of the other, complimenting one another. She lay there helpless as they entered her in a rhythm, obvious practiced from other times, but she didn’t want to think of other times. They were doing this for her and only her and their experience was only to her benefit since they would never again touch another. Her men sure knew how to make a woman lose her mind as her body betrayed her and sent her to paradise.

  Her pussy was wild, crazy. One hard thrust from Diego hit her clit and she shuddered and shivered the best she could. Chad lifted her knees and licked her ass, over and over again, shattering her from both ends. She rode the waves of ecstasy as Diego pumped into her while Chad played tongue games with her asshole.

  “Gods of Venus!” she shouted, panting. She jerked to the pleasure that rolled through her body, causing orgasm after orgasm.

  Diego came, his wonderful, warm cum racing through her pussy while Chad stuck his cock into her ass halfway and also came, his cum slithering through her passage. Star kept shuddering as she pulled Diego into a wonderful, warm kiss, mouths moving against one another in a desperate kiss. Down below, Chad had lifted his head and was kissing her pussy, her inner thighs, nipping at her skin.
