Between Two Tiron

by Rebecca Airies

  The fingers left her pussy with a wet slurp. Shard’s fingers dropped away from the reddened bud of her nipple. She turned and saw Kaleb and Shard standing a few paces away from her. Damn, they moved quickly.

  “Over the course of the next few hours, learn your lesson well, nari. We’ll not go so lightly on you again. You will follow our orders.” Shard’s voice was hard, his face set in hard, stern lines.

  In spite of the need riding her, she believed their claim. They probably had softened their intended punishment. They stood and looked down at her for a moment and then turned away from her. Her mouth dropped open as she realized that they were leaving.

  “You can’t leave me like this.” She wasn’t talking about the cuffs. Right now, restricted movement was the least of her worries. The hot, pulsing need demanded attention…theirs, now.

  Kaleb turned back, a smile on his face. “You’re right, i’ma.”

  With a wave of his hand, the cuffs released her wrists. Lina rolled off the bench and sat back on the grass, her legs splayed. That wasn’t what she had meant, but she could deal with it now. With her fingers free, she could take care of things herself.

  She dipped two fingers into the creamy juices flowing from her pussy and slid them up to her clit, rubbing in circles. Her hips rose as sharp pleasure streaked through her.

  “That’s a pretty sight, i’ma.” Shard’s voice held a hint of amused chuckle and masculine appreciation.

  Lina’s head jerked up in startled fright. She’d thought they had left. Shard and Kaleb stood in virtually the same spot they had been in moments ago.

  Kaleb chuckled. “Not that I disapprove of the show, but it won’t do you any good. Magic, rah’ki, can be a wonderful thing. You won’t climax until we allow it.”

  Her eyes widened in horror.

  “That won’t be until you have had time to repent your actions.” Shard turned and started walking. “Feel free to roam your haven. Maybe it will ease the feelings of confinement.”

  They were moving before Lina recovered from her astonishment. They really did intend to leave her wanting.

  “Tamourgi!” she screamed just as they disappeared.

  She didn’t take them at their word. They could have been bluffing, intending to discourage her efforts. She tried to bring herself to peak, but all she found was more frustration. Growling, she rolled and bounded to her feet. Magic sucked.

  “We’re going to have to do something about her language.” Kaleb chuckled as he left the Dura-tent a step ahead of Shard.

  “If I’d been left in the state we left her in, you’d hear me screaming curses as well.” Shard raised an eyebrow. Her desire had been obvious, the scent strong and enticing, her nipples red and hard, begging to be caressed and sucked. “We’ll get the love names later, when she has calmed.”

  “Ardin.” Jaksen paced over to them. “There has been a message. Darik’s team has found more evidence of other humans on the planet.”

  “Darik is still at the site he was searching yesterday?” Kaleb asked.

  “Yes, Ardin,” Jaksen nodded. “He said that it was in one of the rooms they had checked the day before.”

  Mounting two skimmers, Kaleb and Shard headed for the site. On the opposite side of the valley from the researchers’ site, this city was older than most of the others in the valley. They flicked on the lights attached to their belts as they entered the dark ruin.

  The walls of the hallway were of yellowish-gold stone and decorated with murals in places. They found their men in one of the larger rooms of this old thent. The destruction was obvious even as they stepped into the room. Someone had taken some kind of tool to the walls, leaving gaping gouges in the painted and sculpted murals. This gave more support to the belief that the group hiding here were of the Pure Believers, as they were commonly known.

  The group believed that most humanoid groups, other than pure humans, had been created as experiments by advanced beings long ago. In their opinion, if they had been created, then they shouldn’t have the same rights and privileges as other people. They sought to prove their beliefs with fanatical zeal. Shifters were merely one of their targets.

  Fossil records meant nothing to these people. They believed that pure humans were genetically superior. They strove to prove that ancient lab experiments done on captured or volunteer humans had resulted in the creation of every other type of being. Men such as these would kill and had killed for their cause.

  “I want more patrols. We all know there is no proof of what they believe here. Pairs or more on patrol, they are going to be angry. Devan, warn the researchers as well. Sometimes they aren’t choosy about their victims when their anger is high.” Kaleb grimaced at the sight of the ruined murals.

  Shard narrowed his eyes. This latest discovery was even more reason to keep the women under close watch. That wasn’t going to be an easy thing to do. The other women would soon want to leave the camp. Lina had been the first to feel the effects of the confinement because she had done much as she wanted until a very short time ago. Taking orders, following rules, wasn’t a habit of hers.

  “The search for these men is going to delay our search for the Seal, but it can’t be helped. It won’t be safe until we’ve caught them.” Shard looked over the destruction and felt anger rise within him. All because these men couldn’t accept that life came in forms other than normal human.

  Chapter Thirteen

  Lina had tried everything. The aching need wouldn’t be eased or fade even a little. She’d run through the forest, hoping to burn the desire away with exercise and focus. She’d swum in the slightly chilly water of the rock-bottomed pool, lap after lap. It hadn’t even taken the edge off the desire pulsing through her.

  She was tense, frustrated, her temper uncertain. Comfort was a memory. She couldn’t decide which she would rather do first—hit Kaleb and Shard or fuck them until she was exhausted. She certainly felt wired enough to do both. Feeling vengeful even while in the grips of hot need, she gave the matter serious consideration. Then again, taking a bite out of them held appeal as well. She’d never thought she’d be tempted to attack a man for sex.

  She couldn’t believe they’d put her through this kind of torture for merely threatening to go into the forest on her own. The frustration pulsing through her seemed out of proportion with the crime. It hadn’t taken her long to come to the conclusion that there were very few issues worth this kind of torment. She’d certainly think twice before defying their orders again.

  Lina lay on a branch high in the netria tree at the edge of the clearing. She remained as still as possible as she waited for them. Her overstimulated body burned and tingled. Moving made the situation worse. She’d found only one advantage to waiting in tiron form. In animal form, she didn’t feel the swollen heavy weight of her breasts.

  Her eyes narrowed as Shard and Kaleb appeared in the grassy area near the bower-bed. A light breeze swirled, carrying their scent to her sensitive nose. Aroused male—her mates. In an instant, the decision was made. She had to fuck them now.

  Shard looked around the clearing. They couldn’t see her within the concealing lattice of leaves high on the tree, she knew. She wondered if they’d expected her to be waiting for them. Their “punishment” had been more than effective, but they still had a lot to learn about her if they thought they’d come back to find a meek kitten.

  “Come out now, Lina,” Kaleb ordered.

  No games from him, she noted. She wasn’t in much of a playing mood herself right now. Rising, she skimmed out of the tree. She landed lightly on four feet at the base of the tree and with a slow, rolling gait paced over to stand before Shard and Kaleb. As she approached them, she took some satisfaction in the hard erections pressing against the brown cloth of their pants. Maybe they had felt some of the need that had raged within her for the past hours. An hour had been more than enough, but being the arrogant alphas they were, they’d kept her waiting.

  “In normal form, rao nari.” Shard grin
ned. “I can smell your need even from this distance.”

  Lina transformed. She studied them. They weren’t angry, not even tense, but there was a patient waiting quality to the way they watched her. She stood, waiting, desperate with need. Was she going to have to attack one of them? After what she’d been through, she wasn’t above it.

  “Now what did you do to deserve your punishment?” Kaleb stood there, hands on his hips, seemingly unaware of her distress.

  The urge to say nothing and live with the consequences blossomed on an insanely defiant impulse, but the unquenched desire overrode the rebellious whim. She really would bite someone if she didn’t come soon.

  “I threatened to defy orders and go into the forest on my own.” Lina shifted from one foot to the other, unable to stay still. “And I showed blatant disrespect for those orders in front of the entire camp.”

  “That is right.” Kaleb nodded, satisfied with the recitation. “And?”

  She’d been punished when she was a cub and she knew what they expected. The manner of punishment had been different and had been far less severe, but an apology had always been expected. The words didn’t stick in her throat as she’d thought that they might.

  “I’m sorry and I’ll try very hard not to do it again.” Lina meant it. She didn’t want to feel this level of frustration again any time soon.

  “That was very good.” Kaleb stepped forward and tipped up her chin. “Punishment won’t become any easier as time passes, Lina. It will only increase if you do this again.”

  “I learn from my mistakes.” She’d remember the experience and the actions that had brought it to be. Were they going to lecture her all day? She was dying of need.

  “Did you learn anything?” Shard’s body brushed against hers as he stepped up behind her, and then moved around her, his hand trailing over her body.

  “I don’t like your punishment.” She glared at them. “I’ll take a week of solitary confinement any day.”

  “Then it was effective.” Shard’s smile held predatory satisfaction and hunger.

  She would have kicked him, but she had more important goals. “Are you going to fuck me or am I going to have to wrestle one of you to the ground?”

  “As to putting you in solitary confinement, it wouldn’t work. We don’t believe in punishing ourselves for something you did.” Kaleb laughed. “I’ma, I wouldn’t mind wrestling with you, but if anyone’s going to be on the ground, it’s going to be you.”

  “As to satisfying your needs, we’ll see to that repeatedly.” Shard’s hand tangled in her hair as two hot male bodies pressed against her. “We’re going to ride you hard tonight, nari.”

  Lina gave an inward whoop of joy and felt like dancing with happiness. They weren’t going to make her beg for it. She licked her lips and raised her hands to their chests. Most of her focus was on the expanse of male flesh that was in easy reach. She wanted to stir them, to heat them to the level of lust pulsing through her.

  She curved an arm around each man. She ran her hands over their taut asses. She smoothed and cupped, before sliding her hands up to tug at their brown shirts, loosening them from the waistband of the brown pants. She slid her hand up underneath and onto the hot skin.

  “Patience, i’ma.” Shard pulled her hand away from him. “Let’s get more comfortable. This is going to take some time.”

  She was in agreement with anything that kept those hard bodies close, especially if it involved them undressing. She kept her arms around them as they led her to the shaded bed.

  “Wait for us on the bed, rao nari.” Shard brushed a kiss across the top of her hair and waited to see what she would do.

  Lina hesitated. She was reluctant to leave them but knelt and crawled onto the bed. She rolled onto her back, bending her knees as she raised and spread her legs, displaying her swollen, glistening, pink pussy.

  “That’s pretty.” Shard took off his shirt without paying any attention to the fastenings. It ripped as he stared at the cream glistening on her needy cunt. “Fuck yourself with your fingers while we undress. Show us how much you need us.”

  She whimpered, knowing it would only increase her torment, but her right hand slipped down over her stomach to the smooth mound. Trembling fingers slipped between the pink lips and the tips grazed the hard nub of her clit. Her hips bucked as a blaze of need ripped through her.

  Her fingers eased lower away from that sensitive bud. She slipped two fingers into her pussy. They moved easily in the honeyed channel.

  She withdrew her fingers from the clasping grasp and slowly pushed them back into her slit, her hips rising to meet and engulf the thrusting digits. A mewl of need rolled from her throat. Her eyes stared at the two dark-skinned men taking off their clothing with torturous slowness. They were down to pants and boots and seemed to be in no hurry to get rid of the offending articles.

  Shard reached over and curled his hand around the nape of Kaleb’s neck. He tugged him closer. His lips slashed over Kaleb’s mouth. Lina licked her lips and swallowed. Her need immediately shot into orbit. She didn’t know if she could take much more of this. They knew just how much she liked to see them touching each other. They obviously intended to take advantage of it. She’d been burning with need for what seemed like an eternity. Kaleb’s hand curved around Shard’s back and pulled him close.

  “Please…” Lina’s voice trembled and fire danced through her body. Her skin tingled and burned, sensitive to the slightest breeze.

  They turned and looked at her. Shard’s hips rolled into Kaleb. Gods, she felt jealous and almost ready to run at one of them. Not that they were touching each other, but that she wasn’t getting any of the pleasure out of it. She needed to feel them moving against her.

  “Do you need us, i’ma?” Shard pulled off his boots and tossed them away from him.

  “You know I ache for you. I’ve been burning… Please don’t make me wait any more.” She pumped her hips against her fingers, her body tight with desire, on a high peak, but she couldn’t come.

  Shard stepped onto the bed. Gloriously nude, his broad chest gleamed in the soft light. His hard, dark cock thrust out, swaying slightly as he prowled toward her. His deep brown eyes roved over her, molten with lust.

  “Wrap those legs around me, i’ma,” Shard growled, slipping between her thighs and sliding his cock into her pussy.

  She wrapped her legs around his hips and slipped one of her hands into the curls of his hair. The long, spiral locks crinkled and wound through her fingers as she clenched a handful in her fist. He wasn’t leaving her this time. She wasn’t letting him go.

  Shard must have read some of the determination in her face. “I’ma, they would have to pull me off you. I’m not leaving this pussy until you milk me. Even then, I’ll be back and hard again after you do the same to Kaleb.”

  “Do you think we can rouse you to such heights without going there ourselves?” Kaleb stood at the edge of the bed. “Only the tight fit of the cloth gives me some control to wait until I can fuck you.”

  Shard withdrew from her until only the round head of his cock remained with her pussy.

  Lina reached up with her other hand and clutched at his arm, her nails sinking into the skin. “Please…”

  Shard shifted onto his knees, grasping her hips, lifting. He drove into her, withdrew, and then drove into her again. His thrusts were fast, hard and deep.

  The feel of his thick cock pounding into her was pure bliss. It didn’t take many of those pistoning strokes to send Lina into a hard orgasm. Her pussy clenched and released around his shaft. She arched, tears leaking from her eyes as the explosions of light behind her lids were echoed by the explosions of heat and pleasure through her body. Tremors coursed through her. She opened her eyes, dazed by the height and intensity of her ecstasy and stared into waiting, starving brown eyes.

  Shard had stilled within her the moment he felt her reach her peak. He waited until her eyes cleared a little and locked with his. “There’s a sl
ight side effect to the spell we put on you today, i’ma, although it isn’t one that we mind at all.”

  Confused, unsure of his meaning, Lina remained silent. Then as he withdrew, a thrill pulsed through her and an echoing throbbing beat began in her clit. With each indrawn breath, the ache increased, sharpened to need.

  “Your need will come hot and fast until exhaustion takes you, Lina. I’m going to enjoy this.” Shard surged against her, driving his pelvis against hers.

  She didn’t have the breath or the inclination to reply. She was panting, desperate as the ache returned full force. Because of his grip, she couldn’t arch into his thrusts as she desperately wanted to. She held on with her legs as he thrust into her.

  She came again, screaming his name as his cock rammed into her. Her contracting vaginal muscles tore through his control. As she shuddered with climax, his hot seed spurted into her and a hoarse cry rang through the clearing.

  Her sweat-slick skin slid easily against his as he briefly blanketed her. She had come two times in quick succession, but she could already feel her body tightening. The brush of his chest against her hard, sensitive nipples caused her to gasp at the pinpricks of sweet, piercing bliss.

  Shard pulled his cock from her pussy with a groan and moved to the side. Kaleb was waiting. With a smile, he flipped her onto her stomach and pulled her back onto her hands and knees.

  “You are so beautiful like this.” Kaleb traced his hand down the line of her spine, moving behind her.

  He pushed his cock into her tight cunt. Her muscles rippled around him, welcoming him. She pushed back into him and her hips undulated in silent demand. She felt him tense against her and heard a ragged groan.

  Kaleb’s hips rolled against her hips, driving into her in slow, smooth glides. One of his hands slipped around her hips and down over the flat of her stomach to her slick labia. His fingers began playing with the hard hood of her clit, rubbing, plucking at it. Husky whimpers mingled with the sound of panting breath and the wet joining of their flesh. Her hips bucked as she rode those stroking fingers and took that hard cock as deep as she could.
