“I see. Well, I am the one who has demonstrated the strength to lead and to command. My pack is my crew, and my word is law on my ship and in my pack.”
I’d have to ask Emissary about males wolves later, because it definitely sounded like something Thuliak was just making up.
“Is your word law to other…packs? To other ships and crews?”
“A scion’s will always carries weight outside of his crew, but there are also crews which I am at war with.”
“So if I get you to agree to protect Eden…”
“I would do whatever is in my power to protect this world, provided I got more than three women.”
I laughed, and for some reason planted my hands my on hips. “Three of us aren’t enough for you?”
“Wrathhas over 10,000 fertile males who are ready to breed. The taste of you, the softness of your skin, and the way you shudder when I touch you is enough to satisfy a scion’s full thirst and hunger, Airlock, but I will not share you with anyone in my pack, and I doubt the other two women are willing to serve 10,000 of my crew. Thus, I need more women.”
“Serve…”
“There are no females among our kind. Many in my pack are attaching mystical or religious significance to a planet with no males. So far, no other ship has found Eden, but if any other packship stumbles across your world, they likely will be equally as impressed as I am. We call your world the Virgin Planet.”
“Why?” I asked, “we’re nowhere near Virgo.”
He put his hand on my cheek, and then he buried his face in my neck and shoulder, sucking deep of my scent, and soon he was kissing up my neck. “A planet of perfectly innocent virgins,” he growled, “begging me for protection. You’re lucky, Airlock,” his kisses moved from the shoulder to the soft skin of my neck, and I started to tremble as the wetness grew between my legs. “Many scions would have taken the discovery of your world as a sign from God. I may not believe myself, but I will use that to rally other packships to protect your world.”
It sounded too good to be true. He was going to protect us, just like that? He’d even call in other ships and packs and scions to make some kind of blockade?
“What do we have to give you?”
“Nothing you weren’t losing already,” he said. “The tainted.”
“You want the tainted? That’s it?”
He nodded. “Rather than being frozen for centuries and traveling to worlds that may no longer even exist, your tainted can simply take a short trip to one of our orbiting packships. They will be satisfied and well cared for.”
“What if…what if they don’t want to…be satisfied?”
“From what I’ve seen of you three, that is highly unlikely. I do not offer my protection for free, Airlock. I said we are all males. We need to breed. It’s our driving force.”
I didn’t have the numbers of how many women got tainted and exiled. Maybe Emissary knew that kind of thing, but she wasn’t in this airlock right now. There was no way that the number was high enough to satisfy 10,000 alien men. I doubted more than a few hundred women got tainted every year.
I didn’t want to be dishonorable and try to short Thuliak on our negotiations, but it would have felt even more dishonorable to sell out my entire planet just because this guy was good at kissing and knew all the good places to lick me.
“I can agree to that,” I said. “You protect our world, and so long as you are protecting us, our tainted are exiled to your ships.”
He smiled wide. “Good. Now you, Airlock, it goes without saying that you are mine. But what will you do with the other two?”
So you’re definitely not taking the other two?”
“What would I do with them? I already have you.”
I gulped. I was worried he was going to make me share him with a bunch of other women. Maybe he’d have wanted that, but he needed to use the others as bargaining chips. Whatever his reasons, I was relieved that I’d have him all to myself.
“I’ll need to offer those two to other scions,” he said, “as incentive to protect your world.”
“Are all the other scions…” I stammered, and my eyes fell involuntarily to his big cock, which was partially hard.
“Yes,” he said, nodding, “all are of the highest stock. Those two will not be disappointed.”
This was insane. An hour ago I was thinking about getting to gossip about seeing a dick out of the corner of my eye, now I was negotiating away two of my superiors’ bodies, knowing they probably were going to be happy with the outcome. Just as I was.
