Alien Promise (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

by Missy Lyons

  “I can’t move, Ryder. I just can’t do it!” Panic ruled her body.

  “You’re leaving me no choice, Lily. I can’t leave you out here.” Concern washed his golden eyes and echoed in his voice. Those color changing eyes of his really messed with her.

  Tears brimmed at her eyes. She wanted to be strong, but she couldn’t. “I am too afraid. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to fall.”

  “You are safe with me.” His fingers laced in hers tightly.

  “Don’t make me do this.” She shook her head.

  “If you won’t go back inside, we have one other option, but you aren’t going to like it.” His face was deadpan of emotion.

  “I will like it better than this. I can’t move, Ryder. I am too afraid,” she pleaded with him to help her. “Just do it.”

  There was a steely resolve in his eyes she wasn’t sure she liked. “Lily, look at me! No matter what happens, you are going to be safe in my arms.”

  A nervous feeling snaked around in the pit of her stomach. “Ryder, what are you going to do?”

  He ignored Lily and spoke to E.V.E. instead.

  “Computer, please beam me up to the ship in…three, two, one.” At the last possible minute, Ryder grabbed a hold of Lily, and while holding her tightly to his chest, he pushed away from the building and threw them both into a free fall.

  Lily closed her eyes and screamed at the top of her lungs as she made the scariest fall of her life, plunging to her certain death while clinging to her rescuer who really didn’t rescue her at all.

  Chapter Four:

  Alien Abduction

  “Where did she go? E.V.E.! Bring her back to me,” Ryder yelled at the ship’s computer. He had been beamed directly into the cleaning chambers, naked of course, and a laser beam slowly rolled over his body, burning off the contaminants and dust particles from Earth.

  “Calm down, muscle man. Your woman is safe,” E.V.E. spoke over the intercom.

  “E.V.E., I will have you recycled if you don’t bring her back to me. Right. Now.” Ryder gritted the last word out through clenched teeth. He was furious that the computer would make this decision for him. Lily may not forgive him for making her jump off her safe perch, but there was no other way to make sure E.V.E beamed her up aboard the ship, too.

  “You both have to be decontaminated before I can let you out in the rest of the ship, and you really should reconsider keeping her on board. If you decide to take her back to your home planet, there will be consequences for taking an endangered species off this planet.”

  “There will be no arguing, E.V.E. She stays here.” Ryder didn’t give a damn about consequences. He wanted her. End of story. “She needs to be with me now. You’re going to be endangered if you don’t get her in here.”

  “Threats aren’t going to work with me, big fella. I’m driving this spaceship. Have you thought about what happens if she doesn’t adapt to your world?”

  Those words didn’t sit well with Ryder. He just met Lily, but already he couldn’t stand the thought of being forced to let her go.

  “She is smart, and in time she will learn our ways. Now what did you do with her?” He was afraid the computer had done something since she was not beaming her into his cell immediately. There had to be a reason E.V.E. wouldn’t comply with a direct order. She was stubborn, but she knew her place.

  “The Earth woman was hysterical and had to be put down so that she would not injure herself.”

  “Put down? What did you do?” It was times like this he wished he got the substandard computer model to run the ship. A computer without a personality wouldn’t have back-talked him.

  “Calm down. She is just sleeping. She won’t even know what happened. Tomorrow she will wake up and think this was all a bad dream.”

  Ryder was slightly calmer hearing this news. He really needed to see that she was safe for his own peace of mind, but the logical side of him knew she had to undergo the same cleaning rituals he did. A tiny, microscopic dust particle could be a virus waiting to explode or a seed waiting to take over his home planet. It was a necessary precaution, but it was keeping him from seeing his woman, and if he had a say-so in this, he would have arranged to have Lily in the same cleaning unit as he was in. “When Saber hears about what you did, he’s going to be unhappy as I am. I will use you for scrap metal!”

  E.V.E.’s computerized voice tinkled with sarcasm and digital laughter. “As if you could ever replace me. You couldn’t pilot this ship without me.”

  “Just watch me. I’ve survived without you before. When Lily is finished with the laser shower, make sure she is put in my private chambers,” Ryder grumbled. He didn’t care how state of the art the damn computer was. It could be a pain in the ass more than he ever liked. “Where’s my brother, E.V.E.?”

  “Your brother has just sent up the criminal Girvan for decontamination and lockdown. He is deleting the memories of the humans affected and will be preparing for departure within the hour.”

  Ryder sat on his rage and waited to finish up his laser shower. With Lily sleeping off the effects of the sleep ray, Saber still on Earth, and Girvan safely in custody, there was nothing left for him to do.

  His skin tingled as the laser worked its way slowly over his body burning off the dead skin cells, dirt, and foreign particles. Ryder patiently waited for it to end. It seemed to take forever. Then suddenly the airlock sounded and the door crept open. He swept through the door and tamped down his emotions.

  * * * *

  “I’m alive?” Lily blinked away the last of her sleepiness with remnants of a horrific memory. She was screaming, plunging to her death in the arms of Ryder. Suddenly she hit the floor, but it was a strange death. She was trapped in a box alone with hot lasers burning her skin.

  Well, she was mostly alone. E.V.E. ordered her to kindly shut up and threatened to knock her out when Lily didn’t stop screaming, and that was where all memory stopped.

  She rolled into a massive body next to her and sat up to see Ryder. She was in his bed. His naked body—Naked? Holy moly. Looking down, she was alarmed to feel no clothing on herself either.

  His sleepy eyes rolled open slowly, and his mouth drew into a soft smile. It eased her fears, and she felt so safe within his arms all of the earlier panic in her stomach disappeared. She was safe here in a soft bed with silky sheets and white bedding. His muscles rippled like a predator when he moved.

  “We’re alive.” Ryder’s soft voice rolled over her like a thousand kisses. His right hand cradled her chin between his forefingers and thumb, tilting her head up to his. “Didn’t I tell you that you would be safe as long as you were with me?”

  “Yes, but I didn’t believe you when you pushed me off the edge of a building. You could have told me what you were planning to do.” She pummeled his chest, not that she could hurt him, but she wanted to make him understand how really scared she was.

  Ryder chuckled, and his breath tickled her face. “I didn’t want you to panic and let go of me.”

  “And you had to make us jump?”

  “Yes. It was the best way to see you safely home. The little, black boxes have an emergency override switch that will bring the person wearing it to the ship if they are in immediate life threatening danger. This would override E.V.E is she decided to try and stop me from taking you up here.”

  Lily sighed as he kissed her. She couldn’t stay mad at him when he touched her, kissed her, made her feel so loved and wanted. She couldn’t imagine ever stopping wanting him. His tender caress filled her with need, and his lips pressed against hers with a desire that matched her own. Her lips parted when he nibbled on her lower lip, and his tongue deftly slipped into her mouth. He made a conquest of her mouth with a deep-seated need that surprised her. The skin-to-skin contact made her forget everything that was important to her. She couldn’t remember anything but him and her and how much she wanted to feel him inside of her.

  “I feel alive when you kiss me,” Lily blurted, scarcely a
ware of her own voice.

  “I assure you, you are very alive.” Ryder pressed kisses to her chin and her jaw and nibbled softly on her ear. His palm spread over her chest, and her heart came alive at his touch, hammering to get out. “I feel the strength of your heartbeat.”

  “I was afraid I would never get to feel what it is like to have you or Saber make love to me. I was so afraid…” She held onto him as if her life depended on it, clinging to his body, feeling every hard edge press into hers. One of his legs tangled in hers, and it made it easy to angle her hips up to press her moist pussy against his leg. The pressure was only slightly relieved. She rocked gently on his thigh.

  “Shh…” He pressed two fingers to her lips. “I want you too much to ever let you die so young. You will grow old with me.”

  “I can’t stand the thought I wouldn’t feel what it was like to have you inside of me. Please fuck me, Ryder. I want you so bad right now it hurts,” she pleaded.

  “Oh sweet Lily.” He kissed her and cradled her in his arms. “I want nothing more than to lose myself in the pleasure of your sweet body, but we can’t.”

  “You’re kidding me, right?” She stopped grinding against his thigh. His announcement was like pouring a bucket of ice water over her head and stopped her lust-driven fire cold. “What do you mean we can’t? I’m naked here in your bed. It would be so easy. Just slide tab A into slot B and we’re there.”

  Lily reached for his cock, and he stopped her by clasping an iron grip around her wrist. “My brother would be most disappointed if he doesn’t have a part in your first claiming. We have to wait for him.”

  “You understand I am not made for two? Women on my planet can only handle one man at a time.” She couldn’t imagine taking two of them at once. That was just too much man for her to handle. “And I was willing to have sex with you now.”

  “Lily, I must respect my brother enough to wait for him to claim you together.”

  “But in the meanwhile you are frustrating me.” Lily sighed in exasperation.

  “I understand your needs have not been met, and I am willing to help you.”

  “Help me? Help yourself. I’m out of here. Where are my clothes? You can just take me back to my house now.” She pulled away as if to leave, but he wouldn’t let loose of her.

  “There’s no going back, Lily.” Ryder pulled her up against him, and there was no escaping his arousal. He wasn’t lying when he said the words, “I want you.”

  “Then show it,” she challenged. She felt beyond frustrated. Both men had tried to get into her panties from the first day they met, and now he held out on her? She was ready and worked up for a really hot and sweaty royal fucking, and the guy who had her on edge was now saying no.

  His dark brows drew together in a frown. “On my planet we have a custom.”

  “Does it involve driving women into a sexual frenzy and to want the men so bad they can taste it?” There was a sarcastic bite to her comment she didn’t think he understood judging from the sweet expression in his eyes.

  His lips cocked up in a smile. “Only sometimes, but usually the women end up very happy and sated.”

  She ached to be filled by his cock, and her voice cracked when she spoke. “Well then, what are you waiting for? I’m a woman looking for satisfaction.”

  “My planet has had viral warfare that has rendered most the women sterile. It’s been necessary for us to leave the planet and find our mates with females of other species. Our custom is to capture that female we want.” He took both her wrists and captured them with one hand, locking them both over her head. She felt helpless to do anything as he covered his body with hers, but the last thing she wanted to do was stop him. She closed her eyes, loving the hard slide of his body against hers. “Then we keep her for a year, and if she is pregnant by the end of that time…”

  “Did you just say pregnant?” Her neck whipped up, and her eyes widened in surprise.

  “Yes,” he drawled with a distinct pleasure to his voice. “And at the end of the year, if she carries our child, we can keep her as our mate. With us, it shouldn’t take that long.”

  “Okay, this is hypothetical right?” To her great annoyance, she felt herself blush at the idea of becoming pregnant by either man.

  “It does not please you to be mated with me and my brother?”

  “Don’t get me wrong. I like you both, but I am not a slut. I want to be with you, but I can’t be mated to men, and I’m not sure I’m ready to have anybody’s baby yet. Why can’t we just have a little fun? Just have sex with me now, and tomorrow you can go back to your planet and I can keep my memories. You want me. I want you. It’s pretty simple. Why are you holding back?”

  “We want to mate you, Lillian Greene. Neither of us wants to hold back.” His eyes hardened and deepened to a dark-honey color. Every time his eye color changed she found herself trying to figure him out. What was he feeling? His free hand flicked her nipple, and she arched against him as he cupped her breast in his hand. “Do you have a family that will miss you if you come home with us?”

  “No.” She let out a sigh as his engorged cock pulsed between her thighs. If only he would position himself a little higher, the pressure on her clit might get some relief. What did she have to lose? It could be an adventure, crossing the galaxy with two of the sexiest warriors she had ever laid eyes on. An adventure she hoped would go on and on, in and out of bed. She had never felt this horny with anyone, let alone two guys. If she had to choose between the men when they were lined up, she wasn’t sure she could. “No family. My parents are dead. I am not even sure my job would miss me at this point. Mitch may not even remember me or need me.”

  Her toes curled as he let go of her hands and slid further down her body. “I have waited so long. I have wanted to know what you feel wrapped around my cock since the day I met you.”

  “Yeeeeeeessss! Give it to me. That’s what I’ve been waiting for.”

  Lily felt the stubble of his beard rub against her thighs and groaned. She wanted to feel the slide of his hard cock inside her, and he held back.

  Her fingers threaded through his hair as he kissed the center of her pussy. His fingers parted her pussy, and his tongue licked her flesh. He found her swollen clit and teased it to an aching nub. Her wet arousal pooled between her legs. “You taste like cream and honey.”

  “Oh my!” She bucked as his tongue lapped at her flesh. It was sweet torture until he found her clit, and then it was agony. The building pressure in her womb was a raging forest fire of desire. He swept his tongue across her swollen clit, sucking and flicking it with both a tenderness and a masterful skill that nursed her lust into a frenzy.

  She bucked against him, pressing her pussy up into his mouth. He chuckled, but one hand firmly pressed her abdomen down against the soft mattress and reached under her ass to lift up off the mattress and positioned her at his whim. She couldn’t do anything much but whimper.

  “That feels so good. That thing you are doing with your mouth—oh my God!” Her hands muffled a scream as she bit her bottom lip, and the pressure building against her dam of restraint broke. She broke free, shattering into a million pieces as he stroked her and played her like a fine musical instrument.

  “You are too good at that, stud. I am almost afraid of what you can do with that sword of yours.” His wide hand covered the expanse of her belly, and he rested against the vertex of her cunt. She had never been this relaxed with a man, especially while naked. She had always been a little self-conscious of her body. She had too many curves she would like to be able to call herself plump, but most guys would just say fat. A size eighteen is no skinny-mini.

  “It won’t be long before you find out exactly how talented I am with my cock. This belongs to me.” He placed his hand over her furry mound, sending a shiver up her spine.

  She giggled a little at his possessiveness. It felt odd he would lay a claim when he insisted on waiting for his brother to actually fuck her. The anticipation was ki
lling her. She licked her lips, feeling her horniness level jump just thinking about what would happen if or when she got both brothers in bed. “Then how is your brother going to fuck me? I thought you both wanted me.”

  “This will be his.” His thumb flicked gently across her anus, massaging her butt crack.

  Lily nearly flew off the bed in her surprise. “Whoa. I can’t do that—I mean I never had anyone go through the back door before.”

  He rendered her speechless as he sought to calm her once again. Two fingers over her mouth quieted her. “Shh, calm yourself, Lily. We would never hurt you. Our only desire is to give you pleasure.”

  “Yeah, and that kind of pleasure is going to rip me in two. Have you noticed the size of your cock is huge? If your brother is anything close to as big as you…” She shook her head, scared to death of that kind of pain. She’d never been fucked in the ass before, but if her first time was by either of the two men, it may be her last time. She didn’t need the kind of pleasure that ended in her demise.

  “Calm your fears. We are compatible sexually. You won’t break.” He stroked her hair, and the motion had a soothing effect on her. “You were made for our touch. See how your body craves us? It responds the moment our skin meets with the simplest of touches.”

  Her body felt the fire grow deep inside until it was a roaring wildfire. Out of control and hopelessly caught up in the moment. He circled her clit with his thumb, while one finger dipped inside her pussy rubbing her. It slipped in and out of her cunt, slowly drawing out her wildest moan. She bucked up against the palm of his hand until his finger slid deeper inside, moistened by her desire.

  “Do it, Ryder!” she urged while riding his hand.

  He chuckled softly to himself, his eyes glowing amber. “You are so hot.”

  “Don’t forget horny.” She whimpered. She bucked again and was rewarded with another finger, stretching her wide. He never stopped playing with her clit, and he seemed to know her body better than she did, causing her to ride high on the waves of lust. When she felt she was on the edge of release, he withheld his touch, stretching out the torture and keeping her on the edge of desire.
