Meridian Warriors: Xander and Des

by Jana Leigh

  Her mates were going to do this their way, at their speed, and in that moment, it felt like an injustice to Alex. She’d given them her pledge, given them her body, and all they did was toy with her.

  The woman wanted to rile at them, demand that they stop tormenting her with this slow, teasing penetration, but they would not allow it. With one single thrust, the cock behind her impaled her ass with its full length and sent a lance of pained ecstasy searing up her spine. Alex arched under the impact, releasing a howl at bearing the pressure of two fully engorged cocks filling her body.

  “Oh, God, baby. So damn tight.”

  Too damn tight, Alex was sure she’d burst with even the slightest amount of motion. That didn’t stop her body from shifting with a feral need to test the limits of this pleasure. The small motion unleashed a rolling cluster of sparkling bubbles that boiled up her spine, popping all the way and releasing waves of rapture that rushed back down toward her pelvis and had her jerking anew.

  “Hold still, baby,” Des grounded out.

  Alex found her motions stopped short by a rough set of hands clamping down on her hips to enforce her mate’s demand. Letting her hips go lax, she fooled him into loosening his hold. With a quick twist and pull, she found the freedom to chase after those euphoric little detonations. The man behind her growled. This time his arm fastened around her waist.

  “Damn it, woman, be still. I’m trying to be considerate here,” Des said.

  “That must be quite difficult for you.” Alex dared him with one look.

  “You don’t know the half of it. If you don’t stop wiggling,” the arm tightened around her stomach, “you aren’t going to be able to sit for a week.”

  For a moment, she thought she had gained an advantage when his arm slipped. A second later a warm palm was fitting between the top of her mound and the pelvis pressing into it. One lone, callused fingertip wormed its way down to cover her clit.

  Oh, God.

  Alex collapsed against the man’s chest in total submission as he began to rub her sensitive little bud around. Quivers turned to ripples and wound into sharp lashes of pleasure as her body began to tremble and writhe beneath the onslaught.

  Her hips shifted, lifting fractions off the cock filling her from behind only to grind the cock in her pussy that little distance deeper. Small as the motion was, it set off a magnificent shower of pleasure that spider-webbed across her body with a greedy demand for more.

  An inch this time, but not nearly enough. She chased the need filling her every motion, driving her to thrust and buck between the two men. They grunted under her motions, finally releasing her to chase the frantic rhythm set by one lone finger circling her clit. Then it snapped out of existence and sent her spiraling further in an uncharted rampage.

  He slammed his hips upward, meeting her downward glide with a savage thrust that embedded him hard and deep into her. The motion snapped the leash holding in her last climactic detonation. They boomed one right after another, gaining in speed and intensity as the men began to actively fuck her back as she bucked between them.

  With a sonic boom, Alex shot right out of her own body. She could hear the shattered fragments of reality tinkling down around her, as she burned past—past the bright, colorful world into the soothing abyss of space, she sank into the blackness with a sigh.

  Chapter Fourteen

  “Now that was a nice relaxing nap,” Alex said, rolled over, and giggled at the two men who were moving slowly when she spoke.

  “Baby, you wore us out,” Des grumbled, and tried to pull her back.

  “Nope, we need to see if the girls are settled and if Sage has the results yet.” Alex laughed and wiggled her way down to the foot of the bed, and slipped out from between the warm bodies that had cocooned her while she was sleeping. She felt safe and at home.

  “Alex!” Xander said and looked at her. “You need to come back to this bed right now.”

  “No,” Alex said, laughed, and then danced away to the huge shower she had dreamed about using.

  Des followed her and she squealed when he slapped her ass. “I will run a bath for you.”

  Alex rolled her eyes and laughed, but stepped back and allowed him to prepare a bath for her. She smiled when he added a few drops of what appeared to be bubble bath.

  “My lady,” Des said with flourish as Xander walked in and smiled at them. Alex allowed her men to help her into bath. She slowly sank down and moaned with pleasure when the warm water engulfed her body. She leaned her head back and opened one eye to watch Xander and Des walk into the shower together. That is so hot, she thought. For the rest of her life she would get to see this, tears formed in her eyes, and she growled with frustration. Fucking crying again. Sage had better have a good explanation for this.

  The trio finished cleaning up, and Alex walked between her two men to go and find the others. As they walked to the wing where the girls were situated, they could hear Gabby snapping at Casius before they even rounded the corner.

  “Do you have to tell me what to do all the time? I am pretty sure that I know how to take care of myself, been doing it for years, and look, I’m still alive,” Gabby said.

  “Barely,” Alex heard Casius grumble and when the couple came into view, the trio watched Gabby stomp her foot in frustration.

  “Hey, guys, anyone up for some breakfast?” Des said.

  “I already called,” Casius said. “Everyone is meeting in the kitchen. Sage said he has the results ready.”

  As everyone made it down to the huge dining area with little fanfare, Sam and her mates were already there, sitting apart and glaring at each other in a silent staring battle. The other men had a lot of work to do, before the twins were going to agree to stay here.

  Alex laughed when Xander and Des placed her between them, in what apparently was the formal placement of the King and his mates at the table. They were at the head of the table with Alex on one side of Xander and Des on the other.

  Sage walked in with a stack of papers and slammed them down on the table looking very excited, “Oh, you guys, are gonna love this.”

  “We have some information as well,” Cash said smoothly.

  “Let’s eat and talk!” Xander said firmly, letting everyone know they needed to slow down, get some food, and then they could talk. They filled Alex’s plate as she spoke to Gabby and Sam quietly while the men were silent.

  It was not long before Xander said, “Cash, you first.”

  “Okay, we have been digging into Alex’s father, and a lot of his associates. Although they can show their lineage, some if it is either false or has gaps in it. There are seven main families who we have found that are in some way or another connected with Collins Shipping, they are suspicious. I am sorry, Alex, but your father was involved in a lot of mysterious deals that are not on the up and up.”

  Alex shrugged and took a drink of her coffee.

  “Four times a year these seven families all meet in one place for what they call a retreat,” Cash said.

  “I remember those, it is on an island in the Pacific.” Alex frowned.

  “Yep, they have a fleet of boats, and I have tracked the boats to the ones that are trying to ping us, they are on that island. On one side, there are homes and villas for vacationing. On the other, there is some type of scientific building that has a cloaking,” Cash said.

  “We need to get a look at that facility,” Casius said and Gabby rolled her eyes.

  “Sage,” Xander said and the doctor smiled.

  “No you are not dying,” he laughed at Alex who was blushing. “However, your body is going through an amazing change. That is why your hormones are all over the map. Your body is changing to allow you the ability to carry the child of a Meridian without dying.”

  Xander reached out and grabbed both of his mate’s hand. “Are you serious?”

  “Positive, the blood samples I have taken from Alex, shows the progressive growth of Meridian blood. It is almost
as if it is taking over the other DNA. Now, the other DNA, I have determined is Hopis,” Sage said and waited for everyone’s reaction. They all began talking at once.

  “Hold on,” Xander said holding his hand up.

  Sage took a deep breath, “Okay, so I can make some assumptions here. I have made sure I am correct, and so I want you to keep an open mind. I looked at everything, first I will start with Alex, this is the first time I have ever been able to study a Meridian female’s DNA. As you all know, the only Meridian we thought escaped from the destruction of our planet was us. Alex, I was shocked when I watched the Meridian DNA basically take over the Hopis DNA and change. Your body has changed and morphed into one like the women from our home planet. It is amazing. By having this DNA, I was able to compare Gabby’s and Sam’s DNA, with human female DNA and so forth.”

  “Wait, so I can have children?” Alex said happily.

  “Yes, you can, your body has changed to allow the fertility of our Meridian women, I have to warn you though, our women were fertile, you could be pregnant soon,” Sage said with a wink and a smile when she turned to her mates with a shocked look on her face. Xander puffed up and then nodded to Sage.

  “Continue,” Xander said.

  “Right, so regular women’s DNA, we know we could not impregnate them because they would die in childbirth along with the babe. Meridian males are not capable to produce children with any other female species other than a Meridian. Any other species female would die, along with the child. Whereas, Meridian women, they are able to carry a human’s child, or a Hopis’s child, although, they would die in childbirth, I believe it’s because the women are giving half of the Meridian DNA, in order to save the children. Their bodies do it instinctively. Now Sam and Gabby, you both have part Hopis and part Meridian, you will change to full Meridian, unless you deny the mating. However, if you do and become involved with someone other than a Meridian and become pregnant, you will die in childbirth.”

  Sam and Gabby gasped and looked at each other. Alex reached out a hand and grabbed Sam’s hand for comfort. This was crazy, on the surface they had been a walking talking time bomb. She grew silent and thought about her father, her face began to turn red as she began putting the pieces together.

  “Wait,” Alex stood. “So my father was Hopis, and so he would have known all of this, because of my mother. He wanted me to marry James…”

  “Umm, his family is also Hopis related,” Cash said, slowly.

  “That asshole was going to kill me,” Alex yelled. Her mates stood to comfort her as she raged at the implications. When they finally calmed her down, they placed her in the middle of them at the table so they could continue to comfort her.

  “Sorry, Alex,” Sage said and then continued. “So we can assume that somehow the Hopis captured some of our females and used them for breeding.”

  Casius growled and stood. “How are we going to find out if some of our females are still alive? They could be mates to some of our men. We have been lucky enough to find ours.”

  “Well shit, you can form a sentence,” Gabby snorted.

  Casius growled at her and then continued. “As I was saying, since our women are obviously descendants of our Meridian women, there have to either be more with half-blood, or they still have some of our females. Either way, we need to get on with finding all of the people who could carry Meridian blood, they are in danger.”

  Xander nodded, “Cash, Rosul, we need a printout of the families and their children.”

  “Wait, I have a bit more. Sam and Gabby, you will have to make a decision soon either way. From what I can tell, you both will begin to get sick from your body wanting to shift and change since you are so close to our source. It is tied to our lifeline, and since you are near, it is trying to help you. So you have to either mate, or leave,” Sage said and all of the men jumped up.

  “No,” Cash said and Sam looked at her twin.

  Alex stepped up and said, “Okay, we need to talk, girl talk, so give us a few minutes here guys.”

  ***

  Alex led the women back to the front room where there was comfortable furniture already in place. “Okay, ladies, it is time to make a decision. As you know, I have already mated so I will be staying. I feel a connection with this place and these men. I can’t explain it, although we have talked about it. It is as if I am home for the first time in a long time.”

  Sam and Gabby looked at each other and nodded. “Yeah, so do we, I just am trying to figure out this whole mating thing. I mean, how could they possibly know I am the one they want to spend the next three hundred years with. Hell, I am bitchy on a good day. What if they get sick of me?” Sam asked.

  “Shit, at least yours talks to you, mine is like pissed off at me when I open my mouth, I don’t know about the mating, but yeah, I want to stay,” Gabby said.

  “Can we at least take our time, I mean, Cash and Rosul are great, I don’t know yet if I love them or not, we have all been busy tracking down information. We are discovering more about our parents than we have ever before. Although, I’m not liking what I’m hearing about our father. He had to be Hopis, and he knowingly got our mother pregnant to kill her,” Sam said.

  “This is fucked up, all we wanted was our family history,” Gabby stormed. “Now we find out our father is a murdering bastard and our mother a captive alien from another planet. Wow, talk about a freaking mess.”

  Alex sighed, “I get it, but there are others out there that may need our help. I can’t allow anyone else to die for my father’s weird and twisted plans. I know he is at the head of all this. All my life he has tried to make money, connections, and all of it had to be for a purpose that I didn’t know. He has plans, that is…who he is, and so we have to find out what the plans are.”

  Gabby nodded, “Are the guys going to let us help?”

  “Well, Cash and Rosul have already let me help them on the computer,” Sam said, hopefully.

  “We will make this work, I promise. If they say no, we will go around them,” Alex smiled and then stood. “Let’s go back and hear the rest of this mess, and tell the men they need to get a lot more wine.”

  The women walked into the room and there was silence, either they had been talking about something they didn’t want them to hear, or they were waiting for them to return.

  Casius glared at them and said, “So are you leaving?”

  Gabby stomped her foot, walked up to the large man, and stood nose to nose with him and said, “Don’t put words into my mouth. We are staying you big asshole, so there. My sole purpose in life is to make yours miserable, so suck it up.”

  Casius grinned, grabbed Gabby, and pulled her into a kiss. Everyone stared, shocked at the man who rarely showed emotion. When he released her, Gabby had a stunned look on her face and she was panting.

  “Well that answered that question.” Xander laughed.

  “Okay, so we have a drop coming this evening. Casius and his men are going to get the supplies, I ordered more computers and routers, we should be able to set up a network they can’t trace as quickly, and then we will be able to search for a longer period of time,” Rosul said and they all nodded.

  “We make the announcement, that we are still on blackout, and we make a plan and then stick with it,” Xander said. “We will meet in the morning after the shipment.”

  “There had better be a lot of wine,” Gabby grumbled and glared at Casius who was smiling. She shook her head and looked at her friends. Alex could see the kiss had affected Gabby, she and Casius only had to find their other mate.

  Epilogue

  William Bernard V stood at the helm of his large ship. He brought his children just as his father had brought him when the time had come for him to retire. Unfortunately, his children would have a larger problem than he did—due to the fact that his father was a selfish bastard.

  William had three children, a set of twins, Macon and Makenzie, and his youngest William VI. They would take over the secret his family held a
nd the burden they bore. He was almost to the place where they would drop the supplies over the edge of the ship for the Meridian.

  “Hey, kids, can we talk for a few minutes?” Senior said and waited while his children good-naturedly complained about having to come out here with him so late.

  “Dad, what’s up? I mean, you would never have brought us out here for no reason,” William asked.

  “You are right. First let me say, I love you all, I am so sorry I have kept a secret from you for so long, but you will understand when I tell you,” he said, eyeing each a his children.
