Lily was furious. How could Ryder turn his back on his brother like that? She stood up and turned her back to Ryder, preparing to leave. “Well, if you aren’t going, I am. I need to talk to him.”
She looked back one last time and saw Ryder nod silently, but his staunch face told her he hid his true emotions from her.
It suddenly occurred to her she had no idea where she was going.
“Where does he go to be alone on the ship?”
“Are you sure you want to see him? His mood may be darker than before.”
She swallowed but silently nodded her head.
“You’ll probably find him in the engine room, downstairs,” Ryder replied. “Do you want me to take you there?”
Lily was given a tour of the ship earlier, and she remembered the way. She pressed her hand to the side of the door, and it opened at her touch. “No, that’s okay. You stay here. I think maybe it’s best if I talk to him alone this time.”
“I understand. Just be sure and call me if you need any help beating some sense into him.” He winked, and butterflies took flight in her stomach.
“I am sure brute force won’t be necessary.” She quirked a grin. What she had planned shouldn’t require much arm bending.
She had to go see Saber. It didn’t matter what argument Ryder threw her way. She had to make this right between them. She couldn’t deny the attraction she felt for both men, and Saber had to realize she needed him just as much as Ryder. Just because Ryder and she had been able to experience a little more passion together didn’t mean she didn’t feel the desire to have Saber in her bed.
Lily left the cockpit and made her way through the tiny hallways until she reached a manhole-sized cover with an airlock much like a cork on a bottle of wine or a submarine ship, only much easier to open than on a ship. She merely had to pass her hand over it in a circular fashion, and it slid open with a hiss. She pushed it the remaining way open and climbed down the stairs.
Inside of the engine room, the mechanical noises drowned out most other sound. At the center of the ship was the power source, and it glowed like a sun inside of a glass-like vessel. It wasn’t as mechanical as a car with pistons and gears and belts. The engines were more like giant computers with flashing lights that indicated they were working and on. There was an electric buzzing sound that was constantly on, acting as background music like a million cicadas in the forest. A constant white noise.
Her heart swelled in her chest, and she felt it leap into her throat when she first saw Saber. He was on a catwalk leaning precariously over the railing with a tool in his hand that looked similar to a wrench. His brown shoulder-length hair fell forward into his face and he pushed it away with the back of his hand. He saw her, and he didn’t leave but stopped what he was doing and leaned his seven-foot frame against the wall as if he was waiting to see what her next move was. A melancholy seemed to hang in the air around the huge man.
“Saber, what are you doing down here?”
“Nothing that concerns you,” he answered sullenly.
“I worried about you when you left so suddenly.”
“I am okay. Just running some tests.” A faint devilish look came into his eyes as he returned to whatever he had been doing. An alarm sounded, and she looked around at the flashing, red lights, and panic sent her straight to his arms.
“What’s going on? Is the ship going to crash? Has Girvan escaped again?”
He sighed. Then his expression softened. He wrapped a protective arm around her middle. “Nothing’s wrong. Not now.”
“Then why are the alarms going off?”
“It was just a test.” Saber flipped a switch on the electronic console, and the lights and sirens turned off suddenly.
“If it was a test to see if my heart works, it does. Although, you nearly gave me a heart attack.” She snuggled against his warm body. How could two men make her feel so good inside? She never would have guessed she could handle or desire having two lovers when she lived back on Earth. With her lonely sex life, she wondered if she would even wind up with one good man, and now she couldn’t let either one of them go. She felt selfish, and yet she wanted nothing more than to feel the slide of his cock inside of her. She couldn’t imagine having to give either one of them up. They both made her feel so good.
Saber’s fingers ran over her hair. “Sweet Lily, don’t you know I could never hurt you by now?”
She sighed and closed her eyes. “I was hurt when you walked out earlier. I want to be with you, both of you. Your brother was the one who refused me. I don’t even understand why I feel this way with you two. You’d think I was a sex-crazed nympho, but I’ve been around the block, and I know I should probably pick one of you, and I can’t.”
“Lily. What are we going to do with you?” A faint masculine scent invaded her senses when he nuzzled against her hair and kissed her forehead. It intoxicated her, made her feel both giddy and drunk on desire.
Call her a slut but she was feeling a heat invade her senses by being this close to her man, Saber. The same heat she felt for Ryder. He had this soldierly quality about him that masked his true emotions. She wanted to see what made him tick, what made him a man. She ached to have her first taste of him. “You could start by kissing me right.”
Saber grinned with devilish delight before leaning close and landing a kiss on her lips. His lips felt softer than they looked, but the kiss was demanding, and it promised so much more if she would yield her body to him. It sent an electric jolt through her spine that settled in her pussy. She sighed when he pulled away, and it wasn’t her choice to end the kiss.
She hated that Saber was always in control, always the one to make demands of her body, and she had the sudden urge to be in control for once. He pushed her buttons, and this time she wanted to turn the tables on him.
“You call that a kiss?” she challenged, but in truth her skin still tingled. She threaded her hands around the back of his neck and pulled his head closer to hers until his lips pressed against hers, and she felt him release the torrent of his emotions in that kiss. His body gave her what he wasn’t willing to tell her in words. He shared his anger, but there was also passion, oh so much passion. He pulled her close, mashing her body against his. She felt every hard edge of him through the thin material that separated them. The rocky jut of his cock pressed against her thigh.
She opened her mouth to moan, and he charged inside, his tongue battling with hers, when her body went limp against hers, he hung onto her, refusing to let her fall away.
She clung to him, submitting to his will and to his desires. He didn’t let her go until she writhed against him and the breath caught in her throat. His mouth finally came away long enough to speak to her, “We should stop.”
How can he think of stopping at a time like this?
“Why? I think you both made it clear you wanted me, and I’m saying yes.”
“But my brother—”
“Yeah, you two are kinky. So you won’t fuck me without your brother watching? Is that it?” She tried to pull away, but he didn’t release her from the ironclad grip. She was tired of being wound up and with no release.
“I didn’t say that.” His eyes were amused at her struggles.
She really didn’t feel like fighting, but he was doing things to her, playing with her body, turning her on, and giving her no way to relieve any of this sexual frustration.
“Then what are you saying I am allowed to do? Since you can’t touch me, can I touch you?” She reached out and grabbed his cock and balls in the palm of her hands. He didn’t pull away from her when she gave his cock a firm squeeze. “Would you like that?”
“Don’t play with me, Lily.” Saber groaned, and he sounded as if it was difficult for him to have any kind of control.
“I’m not playing. I am showing you what I want. What I’ve wanted since the first day I met you.”
“If you go much further I am not sure I will have the self-control to stop,” he admitted, but
the fire in his eyes dared her to take it one step further.
“Relax. I just want a taste of you.” She rolled her tongue over the edge of her top lip as she slid down his body. Lily slid the pants down over his hips and revealed his swollen cock. It jutted forward, and the top of it was circumcised. She didn’t know what she expected, but it was as human as the next guy’s except it was about three times larger than average. His dick was at least ten inches long, with round, hard balls hanging below it, and the entire package was nestled in a nest of deep, dark fur that was surprisingly soft to the touch.
“Don’t tease me, Lily.” He moaned, holding back his enthusiasm when she petted it softly.
She tilted a half smile at him before licking the length of his solid cock. “I wouldn’t dream of it.”
“Lily, you are driving me crazy.” His eyes closed, and his head rolled back.
“Oh? Turnabout is fair play.” She wanted to feel his long hair trail over her body as he kissed her and licked her, but today it was her turn.
“There is no turnabout. You have been running since day one.” He caught her wrists in his and stopped her from her downward journey.
She easily slipped free and fell to her knees in front of him.
“I am not running now, am I?” She adjusted her weight onto her knees, making herself comfortable to take in his giant cock as much as she could. She didn’t have the talent to be able to deep throat him, but she could savor every lick. A drop of pre-cum settled at the tip of his cock, and she licked it from his dick, savoring the taste on her tongue. His eyes rolled back in his head, but he stood still for her, leaning against the wall. However, he held her close to his cock, threaded his fingers through her hair, keeping her poised at his giant sex organ. She really didn’t mind. She wrapped her lips around the tip and slid him inside of her wet mouth. His thick cock was just too big to take in all the way, so she used her hands to wrap around the sides and helped to ease him into her mouth. He pulled out slightly, and she pushed to take him back in again. The sexual dance continued, and she pressed him until he was at his brink. He restrained himself, denying her the taste she ached to have.
“I can’t stop fucking your mouth.” His cock slid in and out of her mouth.
“It’s okay, baby. I don’t want you to stop. Give it to me.” She pulled out just long enough to speak, sucking and licking the length of him.
“I don’t want to hurt you, Lily.” He was holding back from her, but she wanted him to know she could handle this. She was a grown-up woman, and she knew enough to ask for what she needed. She kissed him, licked him, and sucked his skin. She couldn’t stop—didn’t want to.
“You can’t hurt me. I want this. I need you.” She stroked him, and he groaned, thrusting against her hands.
“My seed is about to spill.” He hissed out a breath of air between his teeth.
“Then let me drink you. Come for me, baby,” she crooned. With that, he shoved into her mouth as deep as she let him and gave one final thrust, his muscles tightened, and his hot seed spilled into her mouth. She swallowed what she could, but he kept coming and some of it spilled from her lips, dribbling down her chin. She greedily accepted as much of it as she could, loving his essence and knowing he would be using the same juicy cock inside of her later. His taste was delicious and branded on her tongue. She loved every moment of eating his cock, but her pussy ached from lack of attention.
Lily wanted more.
She ached to be fucked and was getting tired of sexual appetizers.
“I swear you taste like sugar cookies.” She rolled her teeth over the edge of his still very sensitive dick, and he hissed a sharp breath out through clenched teeth.
“Is that a good thing?” He traced lazy circles over her shoulders, adjusting her head in his lap.
“Yes, a very good thing. I could spend hours—days—no weeks doing just this.” She nibbled his cock again and was delighted when it jumped to life in his lap.
“But if you just gave me a blow job, I would be denied the pleasure of fucking you.”
“Are you finally getting tired of holding out on me?”
“I would never hold out on you,” Saber replied.
“I’ve never been told no so many times by a guy. It’s starting to give me a complex.”
“Why?”
“It’s making me wonder if you really wanted me in the first place or if it was an all an act.” She slid up his body.
“Sweet Lily, I want nothing more than to be inside you right now, burying my cock up inside your sweet ass. You are only here because my brother and I can think of nothing else but fucking you.”
She quivered as she felt his warm touch and the span of his hands cover her ass in one smooth motion.
“I think it’s time we find my brother, don’t you?” Saber’s voice was a low rumble.
Lily smiled and felt a sense of happiness invade her soul. She was ready for this. “It’s about time you took a hint.”
* * * *
“You’ve managed to calm the beast.” Ryder looked up and down at the couple walking hand in hand through the doorway, and the look on Saber’s face said he knew something had changed. All the tension and anger had left his brother’s face and body.
“Maybe just a little.” Lily pinched her thumb and forefinger together to show how much.
“I am not a beast unless you are holding out on me.” Saber’s lip tilted up in a smile, and he roughly pulled her body against his. Lily gasped in surprise.
“I am not holding out anymore. I want you both. Now.”
Ryder crossed the room in an instant. “You know what that means. You are agreeing to our terms?”
“This isn’t playtime for us, Lily. It means everything to take a mate, and it may only be agreeing to a year, but you have to be ready to be with us for a lifetime. We only get one chance at this. Can you handle that?” Saber’s face hardened with unspoken emotion as she looked up at him.
With her two sexy aliens it was all or nothing. She was afraid of the commitment of giving herself so completely to two people she barely knew but had lusted over since the first day she met. The idea of finding not one but two men to love her for a lifetime both scared her and made her very happy. Her parents had managed to stay together for a lifetime before they died in a car accident, but it was rare in her hometown to stay together. Divorce rates were going up, and she didn’t have a single friend who had managed to stay married. They all were now single or working on the second marriage. She had never settled down with anyone because she didn’t want to have to go through the breakup. She was hoping by waiting she would find the special someone that could last her a lifetime.
Her heart screamed out that it was Saber and Ryder she needed to make her complete. If she didn’t take a chance right now, she may never know or, worse, spend the rest of her life regretting her choice. She wanted so bad to be touched by them and filled by the two sexy men. Saber was a little edgier, and his personality was more military-like, but she didn’t want him any less than his brother. Having sex with Saber would be hot and a rough ride, the kind of hot, sweaty sex that left a girl’s legs feeling like Jell-O the next day. She didn’t expect Ryder to have the same caveman mentality that made her feel like he might grab her by the hair and drag her back to the cave.
No, Ryder’s seduction would be slow and sinfully delicious. He was the type of man that enjoyed sex like a fine wine, savoring every sip over a long, hot night. Sex with either man was likely to be as different as fire and ice.
She couldn’t wait to start her main course.
“Are you kidding me? I am more than enough woman to handle both of you.” Lily winked flirtatiously at Saber, and he responded with a toe-curling kiss so possessive and powerful it sent waves of pleasure to every end of her body.
She forgot to think for a moment, dizzy on the kiss he just used to make her mind go numb. She forgot to breathe when Ryder came up behind her and sandwiched her in the middle. She could feel ever
y hard of edge of their bodies against hers.
“You are woman enough to handle us? I’d like to test that out.” Ryder’s breath fanned her neck as he spoke. His fingers wrapped around her hips, holding her against him.
“Then bring it on, baby,” Lily challenged. Her heart raced in excitement, and her breathing had caught in her throat. A sensual delight oozed over every pore, made more intense by being sandwiched between the handsome devils.
Saber’s dark eyes bored into her, making her feel completely naked, even while fully clothed. She gasped in surprise and delight when Saber reached down and easily picked her up in his arms as if she were as light as a feather. The feeling of being swept off her feet left her feeling slightly dizzy, and she clung tightly to his thickly muscled body.
“Where are you taking me?” She sounded breathless even to herself.
Saber’s steel eyes remained fixed on his course, with Ryder by his side. “To our bed of course.”
Ryder addressed the computer in a slightly louder voice. “E.V.E., please keep the ship on autopilot for our home planet until further notice.”
“Will do, captain. It’s about time you guys got down to business.” The snarky tone of the computer made Lily’s cheeks heat furiously. She wasn’t used to being this open about her sex life, and the computer sounded like she knew exactly what they would be up to for the next few hours.
“Does the computer listen to everything we say?” she asked out of curiosity. She knew it wasn’t a living, breathing person, but it had one hell of a personality for a computer and it felt like a person. It really didn’t sit well with her to know that someone would be listening to her every moan or scream as she expected she might be doing.
“It is part of her job to know exactly what is happening on the ship at all times.” Saber shrugged his shoulders.
“Can you turn her off? Just for a little while?” She raised her brows.
“What do you mean?” Ryder asked.
“There is no off button on E.V.E. She’s in control of everything, the ship, the living conditions. If we turn her off, the ship stops, too.”
