Seducer: Planet Athion Series (Equinox Book 3)

by Lily Harlem

  “It is.” I tilted my hips farther, shifting the position of him inside me slightly. Suddenly it felt right, so right, and my ass opened for his entry.

  He must have felt it, too, because he slid in, filling me with both of his cocks.

  I groaned and closed my eyes. I was stuffed gloriously full. Each cock as high as it could go. I was stretched around him. The sensation was wicked and delicious. It was unique, and I knew once wouldn’t be enough.

  “Uma.” He tipped forward, his body coming into contact with my clit. “Are you okay?”

  I moaned and rubbed my clit on him. “Yes, oh yes. Hurin…you’re so big inside me…”

  “It’s too much.”

  “No. No, I want to come, I want your seed. Please.”

  “Are you sure?”

  “Yes, just move a little.” I released my shins and grasped his hard butt. “Rock against me, come when you can.”

  “Come?”

  “Yes, find your pleasure, release it.”

  “I could…right now.” He ground higher, stimulating my clit.

  “Me, too…any second.” A wave of panic came over me. The orgasm was going to be big and powerful; how would it feel when I was so invaded?

  “My seed…I can’t…” He began to move faster, harder, thrusting into me. His huge body tense, each movement powerful but controlled.

  “Hurin! Yes. Oh yes…”

  He sped up. Gasping each time he hit full depth.

  Air was huffing from my lungs. I was dizzy with need, dizzy with the sight of him succumbing to pleasure. He was glorious. Beautiful.

  “Uma…I’m so…hard…”

  He was going to come. I was nearly there, too. I looped my legs behind his and butted hard onto his body so my clit could take what it needed.

  “Give me more,” I panted.

  He did. His hips pounding, and his two cocks going so deep and so high. I was so damn full of him and loving it.

  And then it was there.

  As Hurin growled by my ear and his cocks pulsated, I came hard and long. It was a beautiful, deep climax that started in my womb and spasmed outward to my ass and my clit. I couldn’t breathe, my pulse raged, and electric bliss tugged on all my nerves.

  My asshole clamped around his cock root, and he let out a wild roar, shunting into me harder.

  Another wave of orgasmic pleasure careened through me. “Hurin! Oh yes. Yes!”

  He gasped, finding my mouth and kissing me with an abandon he never had before.

  I clung to him, revelling in the satisfaction floating through me and over me. I was in love with this incredible alien, and now we’d found a way to join together.

  “Uma,” he said, eventually breaking the kiss. “I’m sorry if I—”

  “If you say ‘hurt me’ I’ll slap your ass.” I squeezed his butt. “Because you didn’t. That was amazing.”

  “I’m so high inside you. You’re so small, I feel like I’m filling you.”

  “You are, and it’s incredible. We clearly do fit together.”

  “Yes.” He kissed me again. “And thank you for showing me that.”

  “Don’t thank me. Just say we can do it again sometime.”

  “We can do it again, whenever you want to.”

  “Good.”

  “And one day, maybe you won’t have contraception.”

  “One day…I won’t.”

  “You won’t?”

  “No. I love you and I love Anki and I know with that comes having your babies. And I’m willing to do that in the future.”

  “You’ve just made me the happiest Athion alive.”

  Chapter Fifteen

  Hurin and I lounged in bed for several hours. I needed the rest, plus sleeping safe in his arms really gave me the recovery I needed.

  Eventually, we rose, and while I drank coffee and showered, Hurin went to the sleeper pod.

  When he returned, I felt refreshed and eager to see Magic.

  We left his quarters together, and I slipped my hand into his enormous one. “When will we tell the others about us?”

  “Whenever you want to.” His strides were long, and I had to rush to keep up.

  “I think we should do it soon.”

  “Will Mateo be a problem?”

  I thought about it for a moment. “I hope not. I probably should have discussed it with him first, though, the way I did Gavyn and Anki.”

  “But it didn’t happen like that. I had no idea we would have sex when I took you to my quarters to care for you.”

  “Me neither. Sometimes passion and need takes over.”

  He squeezed my hand. “I’ll always need you.”

  “And I’ll always need you.”

  We reached my quarters, and I let us in.

  Anki was sitting on the bed reading one of my books, Macbeth, and Magic was in his cage chattering to his mirror. Immediately I looked upward. The air vent had been fixed.

  “Hey.” Anki set the book down and stood. “How are you feeling?”

  “I’m fine. Is Magic okay?”

  “Yes, it’s as if nothing out of the ordinary happened to him.” He spotted my hand linked with Hurin’s. “Though I’m guessing something out of the ordinary happened between you two.”

  “Yes.” Hurin drew our hands up and kissed my knuckles. “It did.”

  Anki beamed and stepped close. He clasped Hurin on the shoulder. “I’m pleased for you. Really I am. Uma is a wonderful person.”

  “I know.” Hurin’s expression remained serious.

  “Which is why I love her very much.” Anki switched his attention to me and brushed his lips over mine. “And I always will.”

  I touched his face. “I love you, too, and thank you for caring for Magic.”

  “He didn’t really need much other than some food and a few tickles.”

  “Tickles. Tickles. Who’s a pretty boy, then.” Magic hopped from one perch to the other.

  “Hey, you.” I opened his door, and he scooted out onto my arm. “You mustn’t go wandering again.” I stroked his head and down his back.

  He nibbled my collar and nuzzled my neck.

  “I thought I’d lost you,” I said into his feathers.

  “Lost you. Uma. Uma. More. More.”

  I smiled. “No more antics. A few quiet days will do you good. You’ve probably done more flying in those vents than you have for months.”

  “Thank goodness we got him back,” Anki said.

  “I know. I would have been heartbroken if anything had happened to him.”

  “You really love him, don’t you?” Hurin said.

  “Yes.”

  “He’s a funny, feathery multi-colored bird.” Hurin frowned. “I’ve never seen anything like him. Most unusual.”

  “He’s the same as every other macaw from Costa Rica.” I shot Hurin a look. “I guess it’s just what you get used to, and then when you do unusual isn’t so bad. In fact, it’s quite beautiful.”

  Suddenly he smiled. One of his rare big grins. “I’m all for understanding unusual and getting used to differences.”

  “Ha, enough,” Anki said, pretending to block his ears. “I don’t need to know what you, my Southern Tip friend, gets up to in bed.”

  “Good, because I wouldn’t tell you.” Hurin wound his arm around my waist. It was as if now he was allowed to touch me he couldn’t stop. I wasn’t complaining.

  “I’ve seen to the goats,” Anki said. “No problems to report.”

  “Good. Thank you. And in that case, we should find Gavyn and Mateo,” I said. “And see how things are with Julian and the Space Marshalls.”

  “You won’t be seeing or hearing Julian again,” Anki said. “He’s in an isolation pod with no window, just a CCTV camera for the Marshalls’ use, and no speaker. He’s in complete isolation now and will be handed over to officials the moment we land.”

  “Which means you can forget he’s even on board,” Hurin went on. “He’s not part of this journey and not part of your
life, Uma.”

  “Which suits me very well.” I put Magic back into his cage, found him a few treats, and shut the door. “I’ll put his blanket over. A sleep will do him good.”

  “I agree,” Anki said. “And I suspect Gavyn will be checking on the Marshalls, he said he was going to be keeping a close eye on them.”

  “So we’ll go there,” I said. “And see.”

  The three of us navigated our way to the Marshall’s dormitory. I was glad Anki had taken the news of Hurin being one of my boyfriends as well as he had. But that was Anki. Not only was he easygoing, sharing me was something he was happy to do—something he knew he’d have to do.

  Mateo and Gavyn, I wasn’t so sure. So my nerves built as we drew nearer.

  The glass had been swept up from the corridor by the isolation pod, and a large piece of white paneling covered the hole.

  “Look,” Anki said, nodding to the right.

  Both Sai and Ezekeil were standing by Julian’s new prison cell. Arms folded, legs apart, and dressed smartly in their original black outfits with the Space Marshall logo on the sleeves.

  Sai glanced my way. “Uma.”

  “Hello, Sai.”

  He nodded and faced forward again.

  Ezekeil turned to me, his expression serious. “Are you well?”

  “Yes, thank you.”

  Like Sai he, too, nodded and assumed his position.

  “Seems they’ve had a good talking to,” Anki said.

  “Hey, I thought I heard your voice.” Gavyn appeared from the dormitory. “Come in, I’ve just made coffee for Mateo and me.”

  We followed him in. I gripped Hurin’s hand.

  Mateo is in there, too!

  He was seated at a long table with several printouts and a pen in front of him. The chair next to him was askew, which made me think that was where Gavyn had been sitting.

  It was clear they were keeping as close an eye on the Marshalls as they were the Trad.

  Mateo looked up, a smile spreading on his handsome face when he spotted me. “Hi, hun.” His gaze slipped lower. The moment he saw my hand linked with Hurin’s, the smile dropped.

  “Copilot, Ty,” Hurin said, his arm brushing mine, and nodding Mateo’s way.

  “Mateo, I—” I started.

  “So you’re with him now as well.”

  Gavyn turned from the coffee machine. He looked from me to Hurin to Mateo. A tendon flexed in his cheek.

  “Yes,” I said. “Hurin and I have become closer. He’s very special to me.”

  Mateo stood, the chair legs scraping. “As special as Anki, Gavyn, and me?”

  “You’re all very important. I love you all.” I smiled at Gavyn and kept the smile in place as I turned to Mateo again, hoping to diffuse the tension he’d instantly injected into the room.

  “And you’ve fucked him?”

  “Mateo,” Gavyn said. “Surely that’s their business.”

  Good. Gavyn is okay with the situation.

  “I want to know if Uma is telling me before or after the event.” Mateo stepped around the table and stood in front of me.

  I released Hurin’s hand and reached for his face. I cupped his cheeks and breezed my lips over his. “Mateo, you’ll always be my first boyfriend,” I whispered. “You and I go back a long way.”

  He was tense but he allowed me to kiss him again, his lips responding to mine. “So you have done it.”

  I hesitated, then, “Hurin and I have been intimate, yes.”

  Mateo closed his eyes and pulled in a breath, his nostrils flaring. “And how did you do it? We all know he’s different.”

  “That,” Hurin said, folding his arms. “Really is our business.”

  Mateo frowned at him.

  I dropped my palms from his face and stepped back. Anki was there, and he set his hand on my shoulder.

  Hurin puffed up his chest, and a challenging flash I didn’t recognize crossed his eyes. “I don’t ask what you and Uma do together, or what you do when Gavyn joins you.”

  “No, and you shouldn’t because that’s between us,” Mateo replied.

  “I rest my case.”

  “I want to know, I—”

  “Mateo.” Gavyn clapped Mateo on the back. “Give your girl a break and calm down. She’s been through a lot and the last thing she needs is your green-eyed monster coming out to play.” He leaned past Mateo and set a kiss on my cheek. “Glad to see you have a bit more color on your face, Uma, and you’re warmer.”

  “Thank you.”

  “Whatever you did, Hurin, it worked,” Gavyn went on. “She looks like the woman we all love and adore again.”

  “Yes, Captain.”

  Gavyn held out his hand to Hurin.

  They shook, and I was sure Hurin’s cheeks darkened. He had huge respect for Gavyn, and his acceptance of the situation clearly meant a lot to him.

  Mateo crossed his arms and nodded at the door. “And Sai and Ezekeil? Are you going to add them to this little space harem you have going on, Uma?”

  “Not at the moment,” I said.

  “What? You mean you might and—”

  “Stop it!” I pressed my hand over his mouth. “You know we’re not exclusive and you know I love you, so just bloody stop it.”

  His blue eyes flashed.

  “I have no immediate plans to fuck the Space Marshalls,” I went on. “And besides, they’re too interested in each other.”

  “What?” Gavyn turned, two mugs of coffee in his hand.

  Mateo tugged my arm so I released his mouth. “They are?”

  “Yes.” I glanced at the spot I’d seen Ezekeil sucking on Sai. “I know they wouldn’t mind me joining in, but for now I’m not—”

  “They’re fucking each other,” Gavyn said. “That sure explains a lot.”

  “Bloody hell.” Mateo wrapped his arm around me and snapped me close. He dropped his mouth to my ear. “Sorry, hun. You know I’d really just like you to myself.”

  I nodded.

  “This sharing doesn’t come naturally,” he went on.

  “In that case, you’re doing very well.” I tipped my head, and he kissed my neck.

  My heart rate settled, and a breeze of contentment washed over me. I had rational Mateo back. Just.

  “Uma, how do you know this about Sai and Ezekeil?” Gavyn passed me a coffee then sipped on his own.

  “I saw them together.”

  “Where?”

  “In here.”

  “Instead of guarding the Trad?”

  “I guess they weren’t far away.”

  “Don’t make excuses for them.” Gavyn’s face darkened. “And, Anki, I know they’ve asked you to cover for them a few times.”

  “I didn’t mind.” Anki shrugged.

  “You’re not to do it again without my permission.”

  “Gavyn,” I said. “There are lots of men on Earth and Athion who are gay.”

  “I haven’t got a problem with them being gay. My problem is that it’s interfered with their work. It’s interfered with their work so much you were put in grave danger, Uma. Where were they when you went in there?”

  “In the laundry room,” Anki said.

  “For fuck’s sake.” Gavyn set down his coffee. It splashed onto the table, but he didn’t appear to notice. “The goddamn laundry room.”

  “They were helping find Magic,” I said. “I’d asked them to search that side of Equinox.”

  “One of them should have been here. I could have them court marshalled for this when we dock in Madoc.”

  “Please don’t do that.” I reached for his hand. “I’m sure they’re sorry for being complacent and absent.”

  “Complacent and absent. Yes. That’s exactly it.” His jaw was firm, his eyes narrowed. “Disgraceful.”

  “But now they seem to be taking their guard duty very seriously,” I went on. “Does it really need two of them to stand by a locked door?”

  “While I say it does, yes.”

  “Gavyn.�
�� I pressed close to him and gripped the top of his shirt. “I’ll have to get Hurin to do your blood pressure if you don’t calm down.” I rubbed the tip of my nose on his.

  “How can I calm down when you suffered because of their negligence?”

  “It was my fault, too. I shouldn’t have gone in. I should have waited for one of you.”

  “I’m glad you said that,” Mateo said. “Because it was my next question. Why the hell did you go in?”

  “He had Magic. The vent in the isolation pod had allowed Magic to get to him. He told me Magic was injured, showed me his hand covered in blood and said it was from Magic’s wing. I knew it was too much blood for a bird to lose and I had to act fast. He tricked me. It was his blood. The moment I stepped in, I knew I’d made a mistake and I was in trouble.” I shuddered. “It was horrible and—”

  “Hey, it’s okay, don’t think about it now.” Gavyn ran his hands up my back and rubbed my shoulders. “But promise us all you won’t go in with him again. Not for any reason.”

  “And you’ll keep Magic secure,” Anki added.

  “I will. I promise you all.”

  Gavyn scowled at the door. “I’ll have to have another word with those guys later. There’s a time and a place for sex on this ship, and neglecting duties for intimacy isn’t something I’ll tolerate.”

  “Yes, talk to them later.” I pointed to my coffee. “But for now, can we just all sit down. I could do with a drink.”

  “Sure.” Mateo pulled out a seat. “Here you go.”

  I sat, grateful to take the weight off my legs. Despite my long sleep, I was still physically tired. It was as though the ordeal with the Trad had drained my energy and it would take a while for the battery to recharge.

  Mateo sat on one side of me, his hand on my thigh, and Hurin on the other. Gavyn and Anki plonked down opposite.

  I reached for my coffee and drank. As the caffeine hit, I studied my men. They were all handsome, clever, brave, and passionate. They were also all mine. I didn’t doubt any of their devotion to me, or their love.

  We still had a few more months on board Equinox before we docked, and then it would be an extended stay on Planet Athion because of the problems with the starboard booster.

  Maybe while we were there Anki would take me to his home and to meet his family. Perhaps I’d get a trip to the Southern Tip and see the islands. Meet Hurin’s people and see where he grew up.
