No.
Fuck.
“You should not be here, female.”
“The name is Danika. And that’s not your decision to make.” Her voice was soft, gentle, but I did not mistake her tone for submission. Could not with her desperation pushing into my mind.
“I do not accept the match, female. Leave me.”
“No.” Hands on her hips, she tilted her head and looked me up and down like I was a misbehaving child. “I don’t have to choose someone else for thirty days. You’re mine for thirty days whether you like it or not.”
“No. I am not.” I sat up slowly. The snapping sounds the straps made as they broke over my chest and thighs was a mere nuisance. The restraints had been more of a reminder not to give in to the white-hot rage burning through me every moment of every day than to hold me down. Dr. Surnen had counted on the sedatives to keep me quiet.
If Varin had not fucked her into orgasm, if their mutual pleasure had not flooded my mind, the sedatives would have been enough.
Now I was awake. My cock hard. And the female responsible stood before me naked, hand on her hip, giving me sass.
I slid my legs over the side of the medical bed and stood slowly, coming to my full height before her. She looked me over, starting at my feet. As her attention traveled up my body, it was as if her gaze burned my flesh. When she looked at my hard cock and licked her lips, I could not control my reaction, a loud rumble coming from my chest.
The sound caused her to look up at once, her head tilted back. Her long hair flowed down her back nearly to her waist, and I stepped forward, close enough to raise my hand and reach behind her. I tangled my fingers in her hair and held her in place as I leaned down, towering over her.
“You must go. Now.”
“What if I don’t?” Her eyes flashed with challenge, and I tugged at the drank strands, watched as her eyes dilated and her breathing sped at the dominant touch.
“I will not be gentle. I will bend you over the bed and fuck you until you beg me to stop. And then I will fuck you until you beg me to make you come again.” Holding her head in place, I leaned in close and pressed my face to the curve of her neck, breathed her scent deep into my lungs, the tip of my cock pressed to her stomach, precum sliding over her skin, marking her. “You will take Varin into your mouth and pleasure him as I fill you with my cock. You will serve both of us until I give you permission to stop.”
She gasped but didn’t move to pull away. She stood still, yet I sensed no fear, only…need. Anticipation. Lust.
Truly she was magnificent. Perfect. Sexy.
Mine.
Shaking with the need to bend her to my will, mark her, fuck her, claim her, I held perfectly still. One movement and I would lose control, take her body as I had threatened.
The silence stretched as Varin moved closer to us. I knew he would prevent me from hurting our mate, his mind locked to mine for so long I could practically read his thoughts as easily as he could read mine. Share pain, and pleasure. He moved to stand behind her, trapping her body between our two, much larger frames. He intentionally tested her resolve, pushed her limits, called her bluff. She was small. Weak. Female. This would frighten—
“Okay.” The nearly breathless sound of her voice took a moment to register.
“What?”
With a coy look at me through her lashes, she twisted her head to the side in a silent demand that I release her. I did so, shocked by the desire flooding my mind. Not mine nor Varin’s, but hers.
On silent feet, she slipped to the side and out from between us. Varin and I stared as she walked to the bed and stood facing it before laying her belly and breasts down on the soft surface, ass facing me, legs spread wide, feet barely reaching the floor. She was on the tips of her toes, and I knew when I pushed into her wet heat from behind, her feet would no longer touch the floor. Her soaked pussy glistened as she tilted her head to look over at the two of us. “I’m not tall enough to reach you if you stand up, Varin, so you’ll have to lie down on the bed.”
By the gods, was she offering herself to me? To my cock, just as I’d imagined? Did she truly intend to take Varin into her mouth and suck his cock as I had instructed?
Was she obeying my command? Submitting to my desire?
No female had ever done so, not before my service in the Coalition Fleet, not during my youth on Prillon Prime, and definitely not since I’d become contaminated, further dishonored. Sex had always been about bargaining and power plays. Appeasing the curiosity of the few females brave enough to fuck a member of the Arcas family, brutality, betrayal, madness, and murder our family legacy.
She laid her breasts flat and lifted a hand to her hip, caressed the curve of her ass and pulled her rounded cheek to the side, further exposing her core.
My balls drew up tight, painfully swollen as my body processed her intention faster than my mind.
“I’m going to fuck that ass when we claim you.” Varin moved quickly to the opposite side of the bed, climbing up to recline on his side, positioned perfectly so that the tip of his hard cock was directly in front of her mouth.
She did not respond to his statement. Instead she leaned down and sucked the tip of his bulbous cock into her mouth.
