“Guess I need a weapon.”
“Look down.”
“Can I pick it up?” It was such a simple looking weapon. It had looked like a kick ass gun, before it shifted to a sword.
Now it looked like a baton. Not much of a kick ass weapon. She reached down and picked it up, grasping it firmly.
“Ow, it bit me!” She tried to drop it, but couldn’t. She could feel the bite on her real hand and shook it.
“It bonded to you. Now you’re the only one who can use it.”
“I felt it on my real hand.”
“I will explain that one later. Try it out.”
“What should I do? Club you over the head with it?” Before her eyes the weapon changed shapes and became a club, the Caveman, dinosaur fighting kind of club. “How did that happen?”
“It will become whatever you need it to be. I told you, it’s a weapon.”
She imagined a dagger and the weapon changed before her eyes.
“The more time you spend with it, the faster it will change and the more you will be able to do with it. Take care of it, kitten. It may save your life one day. Shall we go?”
She nodded and followed him. They took off through a jungle of reddish brown trees.
“Your trees are so different from earth.”
“It’s the minerals in the upper layer of the soil.”
“Ok.”
“Sorry, if you want a better explanation you will have to talk to one of our scientists. I would like to recommend you stay away from them, even in the game.”
“Got you. I think your world is beautiful. Different, but beautiful.”
“Thank you.”
They pushed through a jungle of different plants and animals. She looked up to see the sky, so not a blue color. It had more of a pale lavender color to it. It seemed the whole planet ran on a color scheme that shouted alien.
“Where are all of the animals? I hear them, but have seen none.”
“They are watching us. They would never come out as long as I was in animal form. I am the top of the pyramid. Even if I were in humanoid shape, they would be cautious about approaching.”
“Why did you leave this world?”
“Everything that looks beautiful on the surface isn’t always that way.”
They pushed through the jungle, coming out on the other side to see a city made of the nicest metal she had ever seen. The buildings sat tall in the sky and they gleamed.
Her mouth dropped open in wonder.
“I bet the insides of the buildings are beautiful.”
“They are. They harbor things you have yet to think off. They also harbor an evil that knows no bounds.”
“What are we hunting?” She blinked trying to take her eyes off the city of the future.
She could imagine something like this on earth one day. She felt a pang as she realized that by the time they became that advanced, she wouldn’t be around to see it.
“Let me change and I will show you.”
She watched as his body became humanoid. He was taller than he appeared on earth. His hair was much longer and his eyes glowed with a fire she had never seen before. His body was thicker. This was how he really looked.
Nothing about him looked human. This male would have never blended in on her planet.
“You had to change your bodies somewhat to fit in on our planet?” He nodded his head and led her to a populated part of the city.
“Do you regret it?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“You’re on earth, not here.” He reached out and took her hand, giving her a smile before quickening his steps. “I don’t want to announce our presence yet. We need to get in. Hale programmed the opposition as well as the citizens with a slight AI interface, which means they can recognize us as well as make decisions for themselves. Makes the game more realistic”
They quickly walked past the city, until he found a hover car. They took it and he plotted a course for the far side.
“Did we just steal this vehicle?”
“It’s a game, besides it’s a safe vehicle. Hale marked it.”
The car moved fast and before she knew it, a compound came into view. It looked like a private city. It reminded her of both Niko’s and Aran’s homes.”
“Niko, are we being followed?”
He gave her a nod of his head. “I see them.”
“Who are they?”
He rolled the hover car when a shot rang out. Dee screamed. They were trying to kill them. Who cared that it was only a game. She had been in plenty of bars when the Steelers, Pittsburgh’s football team, played. She had heard louder screams and curses. One screamed when one’s life or team was in jeopardy.
“Hold on. We’re going in hot.”
The door to that private city was closing and the car they were in was heading right for it. She closed her eyes, waiting for the crash. She opened them, just as they squeezed in. Her lungs sent her brain a message to breathe.
“We made it.”
She whooped and kissed him.
Chapter Fourteen
His lips were real and solid. Her body reacted immediately. The world around her dissolved and the reality of the game room intruded on her senses. Still, her lips were pressed against his, as his tongue snaked out of his mouth, searching for entrance into hers.
Her mind shouted stop, even as her mouth opened. Oh, he tasted so good, wild and untamed. Her breathing labored as he pressed into that kiss, wanting more.
His hand had unhooked her from the VR while he had moved her closer. She was practically on his lap. He wanted her, no mistaking that.
She pulled away, looking for sanity, or at least the willpower to say no.
“Do you need to run, kitten?”
Hell yeah, she needed to run. She was going to do that in just a moment, but first she needed one more taste. She needed something to remember him by.
She leaned over and tugged on his lower lip with her teeth. He gave a low growl that made her panties wet and her pussy throb.
When his tongue pushed between her lips, she met it with her own, dueling with him for pleasure. He tasted so good.
I am so gonna run. She went to her knees and found herself throwing one leg over his and settling on his lap. She rubbed herself over his erection.
She had sex to forget, she reminded herself. Sex wasn’t for pleasure. It was for power, for the drowning of one’s sorrows. It was even to show yourself that your body was yours, no matter what happened to it. But it was never, ever for pleasure.
She sucked long and hard on his tongue. She didn’t want to forget right now. She wanted to celebrate their small victory of staying alive in the game. She wanted to celebrate that she had beat the odds and was still here.
In the end, more than any of the lies she was telling herself, she wanted Niko Dare. She had wanted him from the moment she first saw him. She didn’t want to be strong or calculating. She just wanted to feel.
She pulled back and looked into his eyes, those amazing eyes she had seen in the game. They stared back at her now in all of their alien beauty.
“Kitten.” He raised his hand and stroked her cheek, rubbing his thumb along her jaw line. “I am not a man. I won’t sleep with you and be ready to let you go in the morning. I am going to want to keep you, but not control you.”
He would be the worst thing for her. She knew that. He would change her world, whether he wanted to or not.
She leaned in and kissed him again.
“Kitten.” He held her head steady as he looked into her eyes. “Dee, if I start, I won’t stop. I won’t be able to. I have waited for a long time. If you need time, I will continue to wait. But if you say yes, I won’t stop.”
She looked into his eyes, his true eyes, the ones that held fire in their very depths. He had showed them to her, revealed who he was. She had seen him for who he really was. No hiding, no fear, just him.
She wanted a chance to be seen for who she real
ly was and she wanted it with him.
“Yes.” Her need to run paled in comparison to her need to be with Niko, to feel him holding her, loving her. She wanted to feel something besides exhaustion and she wanted it with him.
He stood holding on to her. He crossed the room and took the steps two at a time until he came to the bedroom. He took his time walking to the bed and lowered her like she might break.
He stood at the edge of the bed looking at her. She stood, using the height of the bed to be closer to his height.
“You’re so beautiful. So fragile.”
“Wrong. I am tough. I won’t break. I am a lot tougher than I should be.”
“Kitten.”
“See me, Niko. Please see me.”
She reached down and caught the hem of her shirt and pulled it up.
“I am not a fantasy. All this is real flesh and blood. I have been abused, kicked and used. You name it, I have probably done it. Don’t look at me like I am a Barbie. I’m not. I am real. See me.
See me and like what you see, despite the fact that I am no angel and won’t win the most virtuous award of the year.”
“I see you, Dee. I see a woman who had to fight for what she wanted. My guess is you started fighting when you were small.”
She nodded her head. Most thought she lived a privileged life as a child. They thought her home and car and nice clothes came from money left by her mother. Most were clueless. She had worked hard to put herself through school and even harder for the life she lived.
He breathed her in, then kissed the side of her neck, making her shake. She loved the feel of his mouth on her.
“Shirt off. Tit for tat and all that good stuff.” He stood back and took off his shirt with one graceful movement. She sighed as his chest came into view.
He stepped close again. She leaned over and licked the side of his neck. He shivered.
“You like that.” She gave a throaty laugh, then did it again.
He kissed down her chest placing small bites on her until he got to a nipple. He took it in his mouth and bit hard.
“Again.” She screamed. He obliged, biting her again.
The rush of pleasure was almost more than she could take. Her legs shook and her pussy clenched in need. She could feel her juices pooling between her lips, sliding down her legs.
He switched nipples, moving those lips and deadly teeth to her other one. He sucked the nipple in, making her moan. Then he bit it while he pinched the other one.
Was that high keening sound coming from her lips? Her pussy spasmed, sending shards of pleasure through her and her legs tried to buckle, but he caught her.
He laid her down and stripped her pants off before taking his off, leaving himself in the buff.
“Wow that was good.” Her eyes were closed. Had she ever felt something that good before?
“Good.” His voice was rough and low. He sounded like he was barely keeping control.
She turned her head and opened her eyes to look at him. She fought to breathe. His body was a piece of art work. She reached out and touched a muscled leg to remind herself he really was flesh and blood.
His Beast had woken up. She could see him in his eyes. She waited for the suffocating panic to come. It didn’t.
He was magnificent, that beautiful hair pulling her in, those eyes capturing her like she was prey. The strong line of his neck molding into a chest that was so defined it should be illegal. His abs were so tight she wanted to lick them. His tapered waist with that incredible v was driving her crazy.
All on top of two well-defined, muscled legs. He would make a body builder cry.
She moaned deep in her chest. His cock was beyond impressive. It stood out from his body like a calling card. It was so hard and thick that she wondered if she would be able to get him in her mouth. He was long and her pussy throbbed wanting to feel him deep inside.
She reached her hands up to him.
He was beside her in an instant. Their lips met again as her hands caressed his body.
He kissed her everywhere he could reach. Kissing, biting and licking.
She rocked her pussy against his leg. She needed to feel him in her.
“I don’t want to hurt you, kitten. I need you so bad.”
“You won’t.”
“I am bigger than you, thicker too. My thrust is harder than a humans.”
“Good, I need that. Break through my apathy, my inability to feel. I need you, Niko. Don’t make me beg.”
“Never that.” He rubbed against her, allowing his shaft to be covered in her juices.
She met his movements, rocking her body back and forth on his hard erection.
“You feel so good Niko.” If she kept it up, she knew she would come again from his rubbing.
One minute he was rubbing between her legs, the next she felt the blunt tip of his cock pressing against her, searching for entry. Holy hell, he was huge.
The tip sunk in and his eyes met hers. “Need you so bad, Kitten.” He sunk in deeper making her gasp as he stretched her.
He rocked back and forth, allowing her to get used to him. With one final thrust, he seated himself. Her body broke apart in another orgasm as she screamed her pleasure.
Chapter Fifteen
Her body shook. He stayed perfectly still, allowing his arms to keep the weight of his body away from her.
He watched her as her mouth worked, the pleasure he brought her crossed her face.
Her eyes opened. She had been incapable of keeping them that way when her body shook.
“That was incredible.” She took one good look at him. The muscles in his arms shook and his breathing was labored.
She wrapped her legs around his waist and surged up on his erection, forcing it deep within her body.
That was all he needed. His mouth latched onto a nipple while his hips pounded into her. He rode her hard, desperate to get as deep in her as possible.
“Kitten, your body is finer than silk. You fit me so well.” He plunged in again, making her pussy quiver.
Could she die from too much pleasure?
“Don’t want to hurt you.” His hips continuously filled her like a jack hammer, a little harder and faster each time.
He growled as he drilled into her. His beast made noises that turned her on, while the male groaned his pleasure.
She was sick. She accepted that, but she wanted him anyway. It was his eyes that gave it away. The sea blue eyes looked like someone had lit a match behind them.
She felt his body stiffen. He threw back his head and plunged into her one more time. The deep groan of pure satisfaction and the kick of his hot seed set her off again. She came right with him.
She kissed his neck and tried to pat his back, but her arms were to tired and achy to lift.
“Are you ok?”
She smiled weakly. “Never better. You?”
“You’re perfect.”
“Of course I am. You should have known that way before now.” She teased him.
He took a deep breath and pulled out of her.
“I am going to miss that.” Dee said savoring the pleasure.
“You will get it again. It’s yours now.” Niko leaned over and kissed her.
“Promises, promises. That’s what they all say until the next pretty face comes along.”
He didn’t protest. She didn’t need assurances.
They lay there in silence. He had gathered her body and pulled her close. She gave him the occasional kiss. Should she dress? Would he let her leave?
“There are not a lot of people like my mother’s.” Niko said quietly.
“What makes them so different?”
“They are truly a matriarchal society. Long ago they used to be patriarchal. The males ruled everything including the females. This may have not been a problem if as on your world, the females had been able to see freedom for themselves. This never happened on that world.
The greed of the males almost killed the females off. I don’t
know how they did it. The memories of that time are not clear, but they had an uprising. The males never knew what hit them.”
He stopped, lost in his thought.
“I am glad for the females of your mother’s planet. Sometimes you must be the person to fight for yourself.”
He nodded and stroked her side.
“It was a long, bloody battle. There were many casualties on both sides. It seemed as if that planet would become a footnote in history, a story told to keep other planets in line.
No one knows how they did it. One minute they seemed to be dying out, the next they were the ruling body. Everyone has a theory about what happened.”
“What’s your theory?” She reached out and stroked his arm. She let her fingers walk until, she found his hand. She entwined her fingers with his, giving him a big smile and a wink.
“They surrendered.”
She frowned at him. “What would make you think that?”
“You saw the picture of my mother she was no weakling, the males of her planet are even stronger. They stand as tall as I do when I am in my natural form. They are built solidly. They were and still are a warrior race. How does a race of men who have warred all their lives, lose their planet to the females of their race? They surrender.”
“Why would they surrender?”
“The planet had one ruler. Under him sat others who had rule over certain portions of the planet. They all answered to him. He had one mate. This was not the custom at the time. They took as many mates as they could afford to keep and protect. If someone stole your female, she was not yours anymore.
I believe he was confronted with a choice, one no male should ever have to make. He could either surrender to her or he could watch her die. He surrendered.”
She searched his face, looking for a smile or a gotcha, but saw nothing other than honesty.
“If what you believe is true, he changed the whole trajectory of your planet. Do you think they hate him for that?”
He looked puzzled. “I have often wondered about that. The women are not mean or callous. The men are not kept as submissive. They do not bow or scrape. They hold office and do as they wish. The females lead in different ways. They pick their mates, not the other way around. They do not part once mated.
