Quinn Inspired: A Sci-fi Alien Romance (Brides of the Aashi Book 3)

by Belle Harper

  He hung his head low, his tails limp by his sides. I felt bad he was looking so dejected like this, but he had to learn it wasn’t okay, he can’t act this way, especially towards my best friend’s mate. It didn’t look good for us to join their clan and then have my mate starting fights with hers.

  “Quinn, my heart, I am sorry for behaving in such a way. When I am with you, I feel this worry deep in my chest that another male will take you from me.” I wanted to roll my eyes, but the look on his face made me realize he was still so worried about this, this must be what was bothering him so much. “Until you have more mates, I feel like I will lose you. I do not mean to upset you. It’s only that you have my heart, and I can’t live without you.”

  See, now when he said it like that, I turned to mush. I hugged him tight, my oversized tee now clinging to my damp body. I didn’t even get a chance to dry off when I stomped off with him. I was probably flashing anyone behind me, my naked ass.

  “Look, I promise today I will go and speak to Nvaa.” Every time he suggested a mate it was Nvaa, so if he thinks he is the best mate material then I was in. This made Eren smile. I could do this. Nvaa was cute, he was huge. But first...

  Eren’s eyes lit up when I pulled on his tail. His chest rumbled as he picked me up and ran us the rest of the way to the hut that Nvaa, Koh, and Apak had given us. I already knew Koh was building a hut for me so we wouldn’t be in this one long. The new one would overlook the water hole we had just bathed in. That would mean closer access. I had wanted to help but Koh said he wanted to build this for me from his own design. Which was frustrating because I would loved to have helped with design and layout. But I didn’t want to step on any toes. He was lead builder here and I wanted to be able to work with him on future projects.

  “Tyee is not here, do you wish for me to get him?” I giggled and shook my head. I was happy with Eren. Some one-on-one time was always fun and he did things with his tails…

  Eren stepped inside the hut and placed me on the nest, then closed the door behind him. I wonder if I could make pillows or something. Just something to make it a little less hard on the floor. I heard a strange, almost muffled, sound.

  “What was that sound?” I asked him, glancing to the door. His little strip of fabric dropped and he showed me his impressive cock. I grinned at the big guy as he looked so proud of the equipment he had. I forgot all about the sound and watched as desire flashed in his eyes.

  He was learning very well on how to please me. I was into a few things before I got here. Not like that Fifty Shades type of stuff, but you know, I liked my ass slapped and hair pulled. Aashi guys were the total opposite to that, so I had been slowly introducing this to them. Tyee was too sweet when I had asked him to slap my ass. The poor guy looked like he was going to cry, so it was Eren I had been teaching. Maybe that was why he was so dominating now. Fuck, maybe… yes? Ah, I didn’t care, as long as he gave me the best orgasms of my life, I was happy. And being around them both, dang. I was forever feeling horny. It was like they pumped out the sex pheromones whenever I was near.

  “You want me to be bad boy?” He cocked his head and watched me. His gaze so intense, so heated, it sent a shiver up my spine. I loved the way he said bad boy in English. I took my tee off and lay down in the nest.

  “Bad boy,” I called softly to him, wiggling my finger for him to come to me. His eyes swept over my body and I watched as he licked his lips. Another shiver rolled through me at the sight of that tongue… a dark purple, so much purple goodness in Eren. Bad boy was code for do it all, whatever I have taught you, in whatever order you wish. And he hadn’t disappointed me yet. He came down beside me.

  “You. Naughty. Mate.” The words in English that rolled off his tongue were so deep… sensual, and I felt them through my body, even if they were a little Tarzan sounding. I wiggled under his stare, then I felt his soft tails tracing up my inner thighs. I spread my legs and they flicked over my slit before tracing up to my wrists. Both tails wrapped around tightly and pinned my hands up beside my head.

  I smiled and tested the strength, as I always did. These tails were strong. He had pinned me, and they were holding tight. His mouth came down to mine, kissing me as a hand cupped a breast while the other snaked down until it cupped my pussy.

  “Mine,” he growled out as he licked the seam of my lips, and I gasped, opening to him and leaning into the kiss. Wanting more… deepening it. Fuck, my body hummed to his touch.

  When Eren was possessive like this, I craved it, I wanted it all.

  His fingers worked on my clit, circling it, teasing me as I moved my ass up to get more friction. He growled into my hair, pressing hard against my clit, and I saw stars.

  “Eren, fuck, babe.” I wanted to reach out to him, but my hands were held tight as he made work on my clit. The wicked grin he gave me had me seeing stars as I came, panting and shivering at the intense release.

  He slowed his movements down, then I felt his fingers dip lower until he pressed two deep inside me. I hissed out at the sudden intrusion. I could see him watching my face, looking for clues I wanted him to stop. But I wasn’t going to say the safe word: pineapple. I smiled at the silly word choice.

  My body bowed to his touch. One of his hands came up and took my wrist as his tail slowly stroked down my body, flicking over my hard nipples and heading down… low.

  His fingers popped free and I watched as he licked them. I gazed up at him and winked. That was my dirty Eren. I felt his tail brushing over my clit. I watched, my legs spreading wider, wanting more. He knew this and teased me over and over until I was crying out his name and breathless.

  “Stop teasing me. Fuck me, bad boy,” I hissed between my teeth as I rode through another orgasm. Fuck, he was good. He was more than good because I trained him to know where all my sensitive spots were, and he wasn’t some human male chasing his own release. Eren wanted to learn it all and he hadn’t forgotten a thing I taught him.

  He asked something in Aashi, his head tilting to my translator as it repeated the word. “Throat?” Ah, my big Eren was remembering the last thing I had taught him. I could see the concern in his eyes, but I nodded.

  In the next moment, I was flipped over, my chest pressed into the rough blankets and my ass in the air. There was a crack in the room, then I felt my ass grow red with the smarting pain of one of his large hands slapping me. I wiggled my ass at him again, and he rewarded me with another slap.

  “Mine,” he growled close to my ear, his body almost covering mine. I was hot, sweaty and, fuck, I was riding on nothing. I needed his cock and more orgasms. I knew he would deliver soon. I felt him lining his cock up to my entrance. He slid in with a stretch I had come to love. I moaned his name as he pulled my hair, my back bowing and another hand wrapped around my throat. But it was gentle.

  “Tighter,” I demanded, the translator telling him in that weird voice, and his fingers did just that. It was harder to breathe, but it wasn’t too tight. I gasped at his first thrust.

  Everything came alive, my skin tingled with the full awareness of the way he touched me. My fingers down to my toes tingled, and I saw stars in front of me as he pounded over and over, my hair pulled in a way that made me feel alive. I could breathe, but it was enough to set my other senses off and feel everything in a new way. Over and over, all I could hear was his pounding into me until he came, roaring out my name and shaking over my body as he went limp. His hand dropped from my throat and hair and we laid in a big puddle of bliss.

  “My bad boy.” I gave him a lazy smile and chuckled. I really should have done this before I bathed. Well, this was a good excuse to have to bathe again… with Tyee, of course.

  After that session with Eren, I wasn’t sure I could do another round with Tyee this morning, so no bathing. I rolled over and laid down on Eren’s chest. I could feel his cum trickling out between my legs and on him. I wanted to laugh but I had no energy left. The humid weather here was good at zapping it and add in an intense round of sex�
� I was beat.

  Chapter Eight

  Zezii

  I had been sleeping on the floor outside the hut for two nights. I told Eren I would sleep out here to protect Quinn. I wanted to show him that even though I was young, I was a capable warrior, one who would make a good mate.

  I had seen how Eren looked at Nvaa as a mate for Quinn. Nvaa didn’t even match me in height and mass. I was the largest male here in camp, but I was also the youngest with no experience of real war or fights. I did not care, I wanted Quinn. I knew I did when I first saw her.

  Her scent called to me like no other. I didn’t know what it meant, I had spent days confused and following her like a lost kit. I did not mean for her to fall, for her to touch me. I had been watching her, like all the other males in camp. I feared she would attack me for looking at her in such a way, that I froze. I stood still, hoping she wouldn’t see me, but she walked into me as if I wasn’t there. When I saw her falling, I reached out—like I would for any clansman—to catch her. I didn’t realize my mistake until it was too late, and all the males had seen me, a young warrior touching a female. But how could I just have let her fall?

  Eren was right, they would have sent me away. I would have become an outcast, but I did not care. If that was the only time I could touch Quinn’s beautiful soft skin, I would prefer to live with my actions that day than to have never touched her at all.

  But now, the things I heard from Eren and Quinn inside the hut had me worried. Was he bringing harm to his mate? This was something I had not heard these sounds before and I needed to be sure that she was safe. My cock leaked seed just at the smell of her, and the sounds she made were that of happiness, but also of pain. I moved around the hut, the early morning fog hid me from most looking this way.

  I found a small hole in which to see in. Eren held Quinn tightly with his hands and tails. He had her pinned down as he worked a hand down between her legs. I held a hand to my mouth to stop them from hearing me, but Eren’s eyes flashed in my direction. He had seen me, he knew I was here. What was he doing to Quinn? This was not the Aashi way.

  “Eren, farck, bay-be,” Quinn spoke in her words. The translator not helping the understanding. Was she calling her first mate a kit? She threw her head back, her eyes were closed but the look on her face was one of… pleasure? I had seen the same look on the males in Clan Wolf who ascended to the tree canopy and stroked their cocks to release their seed. I had tried it once, when we first arrived. I didn’t think it was right when I wanted desperately to have Quinn choose me as a mate. I wanted her to release my seed when we mate bonded. I knew I wasn’t a first mate, but I wanted that to be special between us, my first time releasing seed. But I had cheated her of that and felt ashamed.

  But now, at the sight of her, my cock tingled in pleasure. I looked down and didn’t understand when my cock erupted in my cloth, seed spilling and leaking down my thigh. How could that happen when I did not stroke myself? I cursed myself for my cock’s weakness around Quinn and slunk away from the hut. I needed to clean. Was this to happen often? I was so confused and Eren had not explained what it was I needed to do with my erect cock. I had watched the male Xell in the tree. He had seen me watching him so he showed me the way to release, but I was so confused.

  It was then that I saw Nvaa through the fog. He had been watching me. He would have heard Quinn’s calls of pleasure, something that Aashi women didn’t do. I did not think that they mated again until she was in heat.

  I wondered if Nvaa would tell Quinn that I watched her. Panic rose within me. Eren would tell her of my watching her. Nvaa didn’t understand, he was not a rejected mate. He didn’t wear the marks on his thighs like so many of us males here did. He didn’t understand her scent called to me like no other. I ran away as far as I could go. I needed to be alone with my thoughts.

  Chapter Nine

  Quinn

  After lunch, Luna and I sat down and chatted about stuff we missed back on Earth. Turns out, just the small things were what I missed, things I didn’t even think about when packing my backpack.

  I just brought clothes, not enough shorts. My hair brush, and a photo of my parents, my brother, and myself before they were taken from me by a drunk driver just over a year ago. I would never forget them, they would forever live on in my heart, but I needed this photo as a reminder that wherever I was, they were here with me too.

  “Fluffy, warm towels… Oh, what I wouldn’t give to go back in time and pack one. And slippers.” Luna giggled as I rolled over and hugged the blanket to my chest. They were not at all drying or soft. And they sure weren’t fluffy.

  “You know, it’s kinda boring here.” I saw Luna’s face change and realized how that might be misinterpreted. “What I mean is, the queen at Clan Taanin, she didn’t do shit all day. Here, the guys are doing everything and I swear I get all antsy and horny. You know what they say about idle hands.”

  Luna laughed and rolled over, holding her tummy as full belly laughs ripped through her. She had heard me this morning. Fuck, I think everyone heard me and Eren.

  “I can’t have sex all day, I need things to do. Projects and things. Maybe I can learn to make some cups, you know, or cutlery?”

  She shook her head, then nodded, trying to catch her breath. I smiled and rolled my eyes playfully at her.

  “Yes, I think that’s a great idea. I was told by Daku that a new male arrived today. An outcast. Daku won’t let him into camp until he proves himself to be worthy… Whatever that entails, I don’t know. So it might be good for us to have more things around here. And build a bigger table, with new outcast males arriving we will need a bigger table. Maybe get some stools.” I agreed, but the stools… No, I loved the way we sat on the ground, it felt nice beneath my feet.

  “Soooo…” Luna started, her brows wiggling at me then over to the tree line behind us. I turned to see Nvaa and Koh building my new hut, it had really taken shape fast. I had asked to help them just before lunch, but Koh said he would build me a hut better than any queen ever had and that I should rest. And Nvaa… Well, he just stared at me with wide eyes so I came looking for Luna.

  “Nothing is going on there. I like Koh, he is a great builder, and yeah, Eren keeps suggesting Nvaa as a mate. But the guy won’t even speak to me. It’s a bit hard to have a conversation with a guy that doesn’t talk.” Maybe he was shy?

  With a quizzical brow, Luna looked at me, then back to Nvaa. “Nvaa doesn’t talk?” she mumbled, like I didn’t just say that. I took another bite of pixxe; I really loved the fruit here. The meat wasn’t that great, but the fish was pretty amazing.

  “That is very interesting.” Her smile widened. Oh god, what was interesting?

  “Nvaa,” she shouted loudly. So loud in fact, Axoh and Zigur were so startled by it that they were at her side. Tyee moved in and hovered around me. I rolled my eyes at Luna and she shooed her guys away. Tyee didn’t move far, but he was watching Nvaa approach with a wary eye. I would say Tyee didn’t like Nvaa… I would have to ask him later.

  “Yes, Luna?” A deep voice rumbled from Nvaa. My mouth dropped slightly. Luna bumped me with her elbow as if to say, look, he does talk. Like I didn’t just hear that for myself.

  “Can you show Quinn here where the best branches are for making the cups we drink from? She wants to make cups.”

  I was going to kill her. Nvaa looked almost pained and his once swaying tails stilled. He didn’t say anything. There was an awkward silence until I couldn’t take it.

  “It’s fine, I don’t need help.” I shook my head and turned, giving Nvaa my back. I didn’t know why I was upset with him, but the fact he couldn’t even talk to me made me feel uneasy. Eren would have to find another guy if he wanted me to take on more mates. This one clearly had a crush on Luna.

  “I will take you.” I heard the deep bass of his voice. I was about to reply that I was not going to need his help when Luna did the opposite for me.

  “That’s great, Nvaa. Take her now, she really wan
ts to make cups.” She shoved me, trying to get me to stand up. I grumbled and wiped the dirt off me. Pain in the ass Luna.

  “Fine, let’s go then,” I grumbled as I started to follow the big guy. I turned around and Luna flashed me two thumbs up. I gave her my best death glare, then for good measure, I flipped her the bird. She just laughed and Zigur was beside her watching me. I turned back and watched the twin tails of Nvaa as he led me further away. I turned back to Luna when I heard her laughing louder. I saw Zigur holding up all four of his middle fingers at Luna.

  I snorted and laughed. Fuck, now that was funny. When I turned back, I saw the dark stare of Nvaa on me. Fuck. I needed to get me a playful mate. I already had two serious ones, I didn’t need a third.

  I wanted what Luna had.

  Chapter Ten

  Nvaa

  When Quinn had asked to help us with her hut this day, I couldn’t stop thinking about the sounds she made from the hut that was where I once slept only hours before. I looked on as Zezii watched through a hole at the couple mating. Something I had become accustomed to with Luna—she was very generous with her mating. She made sounds that I didn’t know could come from a female. And Quinn was no different, only louder.

  But when I saw Zezii spill seed in his cloth, I knew I had to keep away. The sounds were almost too much for me, I didn’t want to stroke my cock to her scent anymore. I had done so too many times, and Koh had called me out, saying I spent too much time with my cock in hand, and not enough time helping to build the new hut for Quinn. But he didn’t know I wore the same mate marks as he. I had told him I had to urinate or as the humans called it: pee. So he believed I went to relieve myself too often. He did not know I was actually stroking my cock all those times.
