Deep, Hard, and Rough (11 page)

She made her way down the long corridor that would
open up into the dining hall, and wrapped her arms around her waist. The
clothes Genet had given her hadn’t been anything fancy, but they fit and
covered her fully and that was all she cared about. The pants were made of some
type of soft material, and even though she had to roll the waist over several
times, it was a million times better than the nearly transparent outfit Maximo
had made her wear. The shirt was also made of the same white material, nearly
falling to her knees and to her elbows, but once again it covered her and
didn’t make her feel exposed. She had no undergarments on, but she was clothed
and certainly wouldn’t be picky.

The dining hall came into view, and she stopped
before she entered. It always amazed her when she came into this part of the
ship. Half of the room was shaped in a circular fashion, with glass taking up a
crescent shape and showcasing the dark, star-dotted space before them. On the
other side was the kitchenette that had anything and everything a person could
want. Robotic arms and high-tech gadgets did all the cooking, cleaning, and
serving, and made Tao’s seem even more primitive in comparison.

They made no secret about where they were going—back
to their home planet. But she knew enough of where the Aktulla males came from
that it was a wondrous and beautiful planet. Any other place was better than
where she had come from. In all reality, she was glad Erak had changed course
and was no longer headed for
Hete’kkia
, because even
if there was a part of her that tried to stay somewhat neutral when it came to
the men, she was also jealous. There wouldn’t be any doubt that they would have
been surrounded by gorgeous females, ones that knew a hell of a lot more about
pleasing a male than she did. Luna didn’t actually think she could have handled
seeing the women fawning all over the men.

She was so damn indecisive, and she hated it. The
sooner she got off this ship the better. Even if she couldn’t stay on their
predominantly male planet, she could ask for their help. Surely they would aid
her in finding another place to call home, and if not maybe she could work for
her room and board there? She would show them she was a hard worker, that she
could earn her keep, because after being on this ship for the past week,
smelling these three males’ intoxicating pheromones, and realizing her walls
were being broken down by them little by little, was driving her crazy.

As the days progressed Luna was finding out how
unique each male was. Erak was the leader, always in command and the first one Genet
and Erak went to with any problems.

Genet was the second eldest and in charge when Erak
wasn’t available. Genet’s personality was one of a great warrior, but also a
gentle giant. It was clear he reveled in battle and excelled in the art. There
had been numerous times she watched the males fight and train, saw how skilled
each of them were, but didn’t miss how Genet seemed to be an expert in reading
his opponent’s moves and where they were going to strike next.

She had found herself growing enthralled as she
watched them wage war with each other, aroused even. The thought of them
teaching her to fight, training her to defend herself was something she wanted
to look into, but she was almost hesitant to even ask. The idea of being next
to them, their sweaty bodies pressed close, hands moving over each other, sent
a sharp stab of lust through her.

Raimi was the youngest of the three. His youthful
age was apparent in his boisterous and carefree attitudes.

All three men were gorgeous in their own right, not
classically handsome per se, but powerful and scarred, awaiting their next
battle. She walked further into the room and took a seat. Genet sat beside her,
and she smiled over at him. The iridescent table glowed right before their
platters of food appeared before them. In just seven days Luna had gained several
pounds, not much in the whole scheme of things but enough that her bones
weren’t so prominent any longer. Her hips were fuller, as were her thighs. Luna
didn’t go to bed hungry, and she had been surprised at how good it felt. She
even felt healthier, livelier. Food had been scarce on Kat’aki, and stealing
from the kitchen when she was able to had only provided threadbare scraps.
These warriors made her eat, though, filled her plate until she forced them not
to give her anymore. It was kind of … endearing.

“You’re not hungry this evening?” Genet’s voice drew
her attention, and she realized she had just been staring at the food in front
of her. The fact was her thoughts consumed her, stole her sanity and made her
rethink every single decision she had made since being on their ship.

 
“I am. It’s
just....” Luna looked over at Genet, and for just a moment she let herself get
lost in his sea green eyes. They seemed to swirl the longer she stared at him,
and the hypnotizing quality let her feel somewhat unhinged. At that moment, and
every other time she let her guard down, Luna wanted to give into to them, and
tell them to claim her.

As she opened her mouth to do just that, because her
hormones and all reasoning left her, Raimi took that opportunity to saunter in
with an almost cocky grin on his face. His boyish charm was sometimes morphed
into this wild seducer. It suited him because he wasn’t overbearing like Erak.

Raimi sat across from her, and she couldn’t help but
flick her gaze to the empty spot right next to him—Erak’s seat. Would he join them
today or continue to avoid her?

“You look beautiful today, Luna.” Raimi grinned, all
straight, white teeth. Her cheeks heated from his compliment, ones he gave her
every time he saw her. She grew pliant under his words, and found herself drawn
to him more and more each day. They didn’t play fair. If they had just stayed
aloof, indifferent, and kept away from her she would have had no qualms about
leaving them, but as it stood it was getting harder to picture
herself
doing just that.

“Thank you.” She picked up her fork and pushed some
of her food around. There was a suspended moment of silence, and Luna found
herself wanting more than just the food in front of her. The sound of heavy,
pounding footsteps seemed to break the silence, and despite her inner argument
to keep her head down and not make eye contact with who was barreling down the
hallway, Luna lifted her eyes and did the opposite.

Erak strode into the dining hall with a fierce scowl
on his face, determined strides, and his hands clenched by his sides. She had
already grown wet sitting so close to Genet and Raimi, but seeing the hardness pour
off him, the alphaness and his warrior stride, had a fresh gush of wetness
coating her the intimate lips of her pussy. He only wore a pair of low hanging
leathers, and his skin was damp and slightly pink from what she knew was a
shower. His black hair was even darker when it was wet, appearing like the onyx
wings of a Ravenward bird. The muscles of his chest were so pronounced, so
defined, that his power wasn’t even a question. Luna let her eyes travel down
the hard ridges, toned dips, and traced the intricate inked lines on his
forearms that spoke of his royal lineage. He also had dark ink that continued
up his biceps and disappeared around his back.

Erak didn’t look at anyone as he came further into
the room and took a seat at the head of the table. His brow was furrowed, but
even his pinched expression couldn’t take away from the attractive rawness that
he exuded. Her heart pounded fiercely, and her cheeks heated further. Luna
couldn’t tear her eyes away from him, and the longer she stared at Erak, the
more the lust swirled inside of her, taking her to an unknown and unfamiliar
place.

His hands were on top of the table, and she watched
in feminine appreciation as he curled those long fingers inward and lifted only
his eyes to pierce her with his violet stare. His head was still downcast, and
his dark hair was a swatch of silky ink across his forehead. Genet and Raimi
shifted in their seats, and the heat increased in the room. She swore she could
feel their arousal for her, hear their hearts pounding faster, and taste their
need to have her thicken the air.

“If you keep staring at me,
Fallina
, I won’t be able to
control my actions.” His voice was deep, rough, and baritone. It caressed her
like she wanted his hands to, like she wanted all of them to. Even with his
subtle warning she couldn’t break the mesmerizing hold he seemed to have on
her. Ever so slightly he flattened his hands on the table, pushed up so his
forearms and biceps bulged from the action, and leaned closer to her. “If you
keep looking at me like that, I’m liable to throw you over my shoulder, tear
those hideous clothes off of you, and feast on your body until you scream my
name in pleasure. I’ve stayed away because I know that is what you want, but
that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been hard as fuck.”

Her pulse beat in her throat, in her ears, and
drowned out everything else until she only sensed the three of them. Blinking
through the haze of desire, Luna slowly looked over at Raimi and Genet. The
brothers had the same expression Erak did: scorching need to see her completely
bared
for them.
Oh God.
Wetness was a
continuous flow from her.

Something shifted across Erak’s face, and for a
moment she felt real fear toward him. Luna didn’t know too many things, but
what she did know was that at this exact moment she needed to put some distance
between her and the three of them or she wouldn’t be able to deny them or
herself any longer. A low rumble started to fill the room, and she looked at
Genet and Raimi, but the noise wasn’t coming from them. When she looked back at
Erak her heart stalled in her chest. He stood to his full seven foot height,
and the air around them became so charged the hair on her arms stood on end.

“Run, Luna.
Run
.”

Oh
God
.
His voice was so harsh that it was a straight shot of heat right to her clit,
like he was between her thighs and licking her with enough force her knees
buckled. He leaned in another inch and his warm breath teased her lips. It
smelled sweet, and she wanted the scent on every part of her. Looking at Genet
and Rami for help did her no good, because their hooded eyes and harsh
breathing told her that whatever was happening right now was out of their
control.

“Run,
Fallina
.” Although Erak’s voice was steady and deep, there
was a note of urgency in his words that had her back straightening. And run was
just what she did. Out of the dining room, down the hall, and back into her
room where she slammed the door shut and leaned against it. The energy that
coursed through her, the anticipation, excitement, and … arousal, was like
nothing she had experienced. It took control of her, had her nipples rock hard
and her pussy so wet she felt her juices slip down her inner thighs. She hadn’t
run from fear, or really because Erak had told her to do just that. She did it
because she knew, deep down in her very soul, that running from them was
exactly what they wanted. The brothers wanted a chase, and she had just given
the predator what it wanted … its prey, which was her.

Luna moved away from the door, turned around so she
was staring at it, and felt everything still inside of her. Her chest rose and
fell so forcefully that she grew dizzy from it, but she had no control over
anything anymore, and in all honesty she just wanted to let go. She waited, her
blood pumping hard in her veins as she waited for them to burst through her
door, and she knew, without a doubt, they would do just that.

Chapter
Ten

Before the door even opened Luna saw the massive
frame of Erak on the other side of the frosted screen. Two more large shapes
took their place behind him, and her heart and breathing increased knowing that
the three warrior brothers were just a few feet from her. The
door
 
dematerialized
soundlessly,
and the only thing she could hear was a ringing in her ears. A high unlike
anything she had ever filled swooshed within her. Her pulse seemed to beat
everywhere, but was far more pronounced in her pussy. Erak was the first to
step forward, and when Genet and Rami followed suit the door rematerialized behind
them. The small room seemed to shrink even more, and the warmth increased to a
fever pitch.

“You ran.”

It wasn’t a question, wasn’t an accusation, but more
of a lust thickened response from Erak. Yes, yes she had, but they all knew why
she had done it, and given the sight of their massive erections pressed against
their leathers, they had enjoyed it immensely. Erak was feral and savage in his
ardor. He took another step forward, and another, until if he inhaled deeply
his chest would brush against hers. Luna forced her eyes to stay open, forced
herself to keep his stare, and forced herself not to crumble under his carnal
pheromones. They were just so compelling, and ruling that all she wanted to do
was let herself go, became the submissive that he wanted, and never look back.
It was a dangerous line she was toeing, but at the moment she couldn’t care
less, and wanted to embrace it fully.

“You want this, or you wouldn’t have obeyed so well,
Fallina
.”
He all but purred the last part, and the way his baritone voice wrapped around
her had an obscene amount of wetness coming from her. His words weren’t
directed at her, and they were more like he was speaking to himself.
