Interstellar Service and Discipline 02 Fortune's Star

by Morgan Hawke

  Amun gently pressed his fingers against Luxi’s lips. “You are quite correct. Luxi is possessed of a major talent.”

  Luxi looked up at Amun in curiosity. Amun didn’t want Shido to know about her fortune-telling abilities? How strange.

  Shido’s brows lifted. “I see.” He focused on Luxi. “Should you ever be in need of employment, gentle-fem, the Temple of the Black Lotus would love to have you.” He quoted a salary big enough to afford a small luxury cruiser.

  Leto stilled utterly.

  Amun frowned. “That is quite a princely sum, Avatar.”

  Shido smiled. “For a talent like hers? I can afford it.”

  Amun looked down at Luxi. “Would you prefer to go with Avatar Shido?”

  Luxi frowned up at Amun. “But I thought I was ...?” Indentured, a legal slave.

  Amun smiled, a little sadly. “That can be changed; easily, in fact.”

  Leto brushed his fingers across her brow. “Luxi, if you don’t want to stay, we’re not going to make you.”

  Amun glanced at Leto, then looked at Luxi. “Would you like to ... go?”

  Luxi grabbed her elbows and blinked rapidly to control the stinging in her eyes. Didn’t they want her any more? She took a deep breath. “If you don’t need me ... to stay ...”

  “What kind of question is that?” Leto frowned. “If we didn’t want you, we wouldn’t have offered in the first place.”

  Amun leaned close to catch her hand. “Actually, I’d prefer to keep you, if you don’t mind?”

  “You would?” Luxi’s heart constricted in her chest. They wanted her?

  Amun smiled. “Of course, we haven’t had a chance to explore the full range of your ...” He raised a red brow and gave her a thoroughly lascivious smile. “... talents, yet.”

  Leto glared down at her. “Yes, we want you. Is that clear enough?”

  Luxi had to remember to breathe “Oh ... I ...” They wanted her to stay -- with them. “I’d like to stay, if you don’t mind.”

  Amun nodded and smiled broadly. “Good.”

  Leto’s head fell back against the lift wall. “Thank the Maker!”

  Luxi turned to look over at Avatar Shido. “I’m sorry, Avatar, but I’m going to have to turn your more than generous offer down.”

  Shido grinned and shrugged. “I understand perfectly.”

  Leto smiled down at her. “I was beginning to think you didn’t like us any more.”

  “Of course I like you!” Luxi rolled over to wrap Leto in a hug. She turned and smiled at Amun. “I like you both, a lot.” She rubbed her chest against Leto’s silk court robe, just a little.

  Leto looked down and raised a brow. “You’re rubbing cum all over me.”

  Luxi looked up and grinned. “Why yes, I am.”

  Amun choked on a chuckle. “Well, since you are remaining my employee, so to speak, you realize you’ll have to be punished for ruining that expensive robe he’s wearing?”

  Luxi’s mouth fell open. “Punished?”

  * * * * *

  Luxi crossed her arms over her naked breasts and stared. The huge black-and-gold marble bathtub was filled nearly to the brim with steaming bubbles. It looked completely inviting. She scowled. “Guys, this is grossly unfair.”

  “Unfair?” Leto let the sleek black dressing robe slide from his bare shoulders and tossed it on the counter. “I don’t think so at all!” He turned to face her. His erection was a pale, smooth column arching rigidly up to his navel. “I was all for a spanking, myself.”

  Luxi’s core gave a hungry, wet throb. He looked good enough to eat. Then it registered as to what he’d just said. “A spanking?”

  Amun smiled at Leto as he let his pale silver robe slide off. “Would you prefer a spanking?” He set his robe on the counter over Leto’s.

  “No, but ...” Luxi dragged her gaze from Leto’s ruggedly masculine body and mouthwatering cock, only to find Amun’s sleek muscular form and rigid cock just as arresting. She had to take a breath and close her eyes against the sight before she could gather her thoughts enough to deliver her answer. “Look, I didn’t mind taking a shower to get all the dirt off before I got in the tub, but I just got that stupid rope off ...” She opened her eyes and pointed toward the cream cords bound around her waist and crotch. “And you put another one on me?”

  Leto shrugged. “We had to do something to punish you.”

  Luxi’s mouth fell open. “What?”

  Amun set his hands on her shoulders and smiled from only a kiss away. “Think of it as therapy, to get past your traumatic experience.”

  Leto strode past them chuckling. “You two can talk; I’m getting in the tub.” He climbed the three steps up and stepped over the tub’s broad edge, then down into the water. He groaned. “Blood and hell, this feels good.”

  Amun turned Luxi toward the deep tub. “Go on.”

  Luxi stared longingly at the bubbles. “But the cord is going to get all wet ...”

  Leto grinned as he moved through the waist-deep water. “Yes, and slippery too. That’s high-quality silk, you know.” He turned to sit on an underwater seat and leaned against the back with a heartfelt moan.

  Luxi groaned. Oh, what the hell ... She stepped to the edge, the cords caressing and rubbing, the small knot shifting back and forth against her clit as she moved. A flare of erotic heat coiled and clenched deep in her core. Carefully, she stepped up and over, then into the foamy water up to her breasts. The warmth caressed her deliciously with just a hint of sting. A moan escaped her. It felt damned good.

  Amun followed right behind her, then gently steered her toward Leto, their strides sloshing through the bubbles.

  Leto lifted his arms and his smile turned distinctly lascivious. “Come sit in my lap, little girl.”

  Luxi raised her brow disdainfully.

  “Go on.” Amun gave Luxi a little push.

  Luxi yelped and tipped forward, catching onto Leto’s shoulders ... and felt the moving darkness under his skin. Her hands opened wide, spreading her fingers to feel more of him.

  “Come down here.” Leto groaned, caught her around the waist, and tugged her down and across his lap.

  Luxi splashed into the sudsy heat, her legs splayed over his right knee and her right arm around Leto’s neck for balance. The heated water closed over her breasts in a rich, decadent blanket of scented warmth. She groaned and released his neck to fall back, arching and stretching, luxuriating in the sinful delight of a bath. Her red curls fanned out in the water.

  Leto raised his arm to support her neck, keeping her face out of the water, and laughed. “I think she likes it.” He grinned at Amun.

  Luxi grinned. “I love water.”

  Amun smiled and sank into the water. “It certainly looks that way.” He scooted up against Leto’s right shoulder and lifted Luxi’s legs over his lap. He smiled at Leto. “I am interested in just how slippery that silk is getting.”

  Leto raised his brow. “Then why don’t you check and see?” He licked his lips.

  Amun smiled and leaned closer. “Don’t mind if I do.” He slid his hand languorously up Luxi’s inner thighs and parted them.

  Luxi shivered. “Amun?”

  Leto bent down and caught Luxi’s chin. “Kiss me.”

  Luxi leaned up, opening for his kiss. Velvet softness moved against her lips. She stroked his full bottom lip with the tip of her tongue, then extended her tongue to meet his. Warmth, wetness, breath, shadows ...

  Amun’s fingers drifted higher up her thighs. He brushed against the plump outer lips and then the intimate folds of her core, drawing small shudders from her flesh.

  Leto pressed closer and his tongue surged into her mouth for a thorough exploration. His hand closed on her breast and squeezed. His thumb rubbed, circling one swollen pink nipple, sending jolt after hot jolt straight to Luxi’s clit.

  Luxi shivered with growing anticipation.

  Amun’s fingers lightly brushed the cords. “This is getting quite slippery.”
He pressed against the silk rope framing her clit.

  Lightning speared Luxi’s tender clit. She moaned into Leto’s mouth.

  Amun slid two fingers between the silk cords and into her warmth.

  Luxi broke the kiss on a gasp and rolled against Amun’s fingers. “Oh ... shit!” Wet heat clenched tight in her belly

  “I see what you meant about ‘snug.’” Amun swept his thumb over the point of her clit.

  Luxi bucked hard.

  “And effective.” Amun smiled.

  Leto grinned and tugged on Luxi’s trapped nipple. “If I’d had more cord, I could have done the same to her breasts, too.”

  Amun licked his lips. “Ah, then we will most definitely have to invest in more silk cord.”

  Luxi shivered under their hands. “Haven’t you done enough?” The fire in her tormented nipple and pressured clit was building a ferocious and ravenous ache in her belly. If they kept this up, she was going to come right there ...

  Leto grinned as he squeezed and tugged Luxi’s breast and nipple. “Are you kidding? With enough silk rope, I could suspend you in any position I wanted.” He looked over at Amun. “It was a hobby of mine at one time, suspending captives.”

  Amun raised a brow thoughtfully. “That sounds quite entertaining.”

  “Especially on a long voyage.” Leto grinned.

  Luxi groaned under the pleasurable torment of their stirring hands. Being tied up and pleasured by the both of them sounded like a very delicious idea, but she wasn’t sure if it was the brightest idea in the cosmos. Glory only knew what they’d think to do with her, and to her ...

  Amun reached up to cup her other breast, then trapped her nipple in his fingers. “How much rope would be needed for such a suspension?” He pinched the swollen point.

  Luxi gasped. Erotic fire seared through her, shoving her right to the edge of a ferocious release. The climax slid back and she bucked helplessly in reaction.

  Leto chuckled as Luxi thrashed in his arms. “I can give you an exact set of lengths and diameters, if you like.”

  Amun grinned. “I’d like.”

  Luxi panted and boiled, shivering under the ravages of her close brush with release. “I don’t know if I want to be suspended.”

  Amun pulled his fingers from her core and pressed them to her lips. “Suck.”

  Luxi opened her mouth and took his fingers into her mouth, tasting her own cream on her tongue. She shivered. It was so ... naughty.

  Amun pressed his fingers against his tongue. “Luxi, you are the indentured employee, and I am your master. You will take your orders like a good employee. Yes?” He pulled his finger from her mouth.

  Luxi stared at him in shock. “But I thought you could remove ... that?”

  Amun smiled. “Yes, I can. But alas, for you, I am no longer so inclined.”

  “What?” Luxi struggled to sit up. “Oh, you ...!”

  Leto held her down grinning. “Controlling bastard?”

  Amun shook his head. “Leto did warn you that I have control issues.”

  “I did.” Leto nodded, not even bothering to hide his grin. “Luxi, I did tell you.”

  Luxi folded her arms over her breasts and glared at them both.

  Amun blinked. “Is that a pout?”

  Leto stuck out his bottom lip in imitation. “Don’t you love us any more?”

  Luxi opened her mouth ... and couldn’t say a word. Love? Shock rippled through her entire body and a fist squeezed around her heart, stealing her breath. Actually ... she did. She did love them. Oh, glory ... How had that happened?

  Amun frowned. “Luxi, what is it?”

  It took two tries before she could get enough air to breath. “I, uh ...” A shudder raked her. “Actually, I think I do.”

  Leto stilled. “You do?”

  Luxi turned away and nodded. She was in love -- with both of them. And they were in love -- with each other. She had to close her eyes, but it didn’t stop the ache in her heart, or in her eyes. It hurt ... Glory, it hurt to be on the outside.

  Amun glanced at Leto and tugged Luxi’s hands free of her arms. Leto released her to let Amun draw her into his arms. “Luxi, it’s going to be all right.”

  Luxi closed her arms around Amun’s neck. “I’m sorry.”

  “Sorry?” Leto shifted closer to Amun to catch her gaze. “For what?”

  Amun stroked her back. “Luxi, we don’t mind if you love us.”

  “Oh, hell no, we don’t mind!” Leto tugged at her fingers. “Luxi, do you have any idea how hard it is to find someone that would?”

  Luxi sniffed and smiled. “I didn’t have any problems.”

  Leto grinned. “That’s because you’re as odd as we are.”

  “Odd?” Amun turned to frown at Leto. “And what do you mean by that remark?”

  Leto shook his head and grinned. “Oh, come on. A telepath, a cyborg, and a fortune-teller? It sounds like the beginning of a very bad joke.”

  Amun gently disengaged Luxi from around his neck. “Is that so?”

  Luxi shifted away, watching in interest.

  Leto slid away from Amun. “Amun, what’s going on in that head of yours?”

  Amun smiled and his eyes narrowed. “Luxi, would you like to help me tie Leto down to the bed?”

  Leto’s mouth fell open. “What?”

  Luxi grinned. “I think I would like that a lot.”

  Leto glanced at Luxi, his eyes wide. “Luxi!” He looked at Amun, and moved further away. “What about the bath?”

  Amun rose from the bath seat. “It will still be here when we’re done. The heaters will keep it warm.” Amun smiled as he stalked toward Leto. “Luxi, fetch the towels.”

  Luxi grinned as she sloshed toward the edge of the tub. “Coming right up!”

  Leto backed away from Amun. “Amun, you’re not serious?”

  “Leto, are you going to come quietly?” Amun licked his lips. “Or do I need to use the override codes on you?”

  Leo stilled. “You wouldn’t ...”

  Chapter Seventeen

  “Luxi, are you done?”

  Down on her knees at the foot, on the left side, of Amun’s massive bed, Luxi finished tying the scarlet robe tie around the iron bed support. She tugged the half-hitch knot, making sure it was tight. It was a secure knot, but it would come free with one quick tug. “Yes, it’s done!”

  “Good, come on up on the bed.”

  Luxi shoved her long hair, still damp from the bath, back from her cheek and rose from her knees. The black-marble and silver master bedroom was softly lit by a half-dozen small frosted-glass domes scattered around the room. The black velvet drapes had been drawn all the way back to the head of the monstrous bed.

  Leto was a pale sculpture of erotic masculine perfection spread out across the cream sheets in the center of the bed. His unbound silver hair gleamed as it spilled across the black brocade pillow under his head. His cock was a stiff ivory length arching above his belly. He was tied, wrist and ankle, to the four corners of the bed with every robe tie and curtain cord Amun could get his hands on.

  Leto twisted his bound hands and glared at Amun, kneeling between his spread legs. “There’s not a whole lot I can do from this position.”

  “Of course not.” Amun grinned broadly, his hands resting in his naked hips. His long, deep-blood mane fell in a rich cloak down his back. “That is the idea, Leto.”

  Luxi climbed onto the bed and crawled on hands and knees toward the men. Both of them looked good enough to eat. The cords that still bound her rubbed against her tender inner lips and clit enticingly.

  Amun turned to regard her with his bright green eyes, then held out his hand. “Come over here, Luxi.”

  Luxi took his hand and rose up on her knees at his side. “What are we going to do now?”

  “Now?” Amun leaned closer to brush a soft kiss on her lips. “We’re going to fuck Leto.”

  Luxi frowned “We are?”

  “Yes, we are.” Amun smiled down a
t Leto and pointed to a white squeeze tube lying above Leto’s pillow. “Hand me the gel.”

  Leto shifted on the bed. “Amun, what are you up to?”

  Luxi leaned over to get the tube of gel, somewhat confused. The gymnastics of what Amun was saying didn’t quite match up in her mind. She turned back to Amun and handed him the white tube.

  “You heard me.” Amun opened the gel, squeezed out a generous dollop onto his palm, then rubbed his palms together.

  Leto frowned. “But I thought you wanted to try Luxi’s binding?”

  Luxi’s head came up. This was news to her.

  “Oh, I do.” Amun grasped his cock with both hands. “Eventually.” He sighed with pleasure.

  Leto groaned. “Oh, you bastard ...”

  Amun smiled.

  Luxi raised a brow. If Amun was using gel, then Amun was probably going up somebody’s butt ... She winced. I hope that isn’t for me. Amun was way too big. They both were.

  Leto shifted and his ties groaned. “It’s damned hard for me to get off that way if I can’t move.”

  Amun leaned down to kiss Leto’s brow. “I’ll make it up to you.” He closed the tube and set it down on the far side of the bed. He got up on his knees and straddled Leto’s hips, his strong cock striking the side of Leto’s cock. He turned and held out his hand. “Luxi, come to me.”

  Luxi eyed the two cocks, one slicked with lubrication gel, and one not, with grave suspicion. She reached out and grasped Amun’s hand.

  Amun tugged her close and turned her to face the head of the bed. He patted her thigh. “Up and over, you’re riding on top.”

  Leto licked his lips and scowled. “Amun, I’m going to get you for this.”

  Luxi nibbled on her bottom lip and stood up on the mattress. She stepped over Leto’s hips to straddle him.

  Amun caught Luxi’s hips and steadied her. “There, sit and take Leto into you.”

  Luxi came down on her knees and leaned forward over Leto’s broad chest. She reached back between her thighs to grasp his heated shaft and stopped, staring at his pale, stiff nipples. She licked her lips.

  Leto’s brows shot up.

  Luxi held his gaze, leaned to the right, and licked the stiff nub with the tip of her tongue. The sensation of a second nipple right under it was overpowering. She pressed her entire mouth to his nipple and licked, exploring the odd but definitely interesting sensation with her lips and tongue, then sucked. She released his nipple with a wet smack.
