Pale Stars in Her Eyes [The Starlight Chronicles]

He met those lovely blue eyes, holding her gaze deliberately. “I agree,” he told his comrades, without looking away. “Very damned lucky. We all are. Now ... if you will excuse me, I think I'll introduce myself."
Chapter 2
"This will be your room."
The declaration, spoken in a smooth, almost mesmerizing voice, made Jerra glance around. It was much larger than the tiny stateroom that had been her prison for the past days since her abduction. The floor was smooth but warm under bare feet, and there was literally no furniture, except a large bed set right in the center of the space. A small door was open to show a tiny cleansing room, but the most puzzling thing was a window, open to the room she had just come from. Through it, she could still see the other two men sitting at the table, sipping their wine and watching her. There was no window to the outside world, not even so she could see the monotonous slide of sparkling stars in the distance as they moved through space.
She looked back at the man who had taken her hand and led her inside. “Which one are you?"
"Kartel."
"Oh."
The famous diplomat was a tall man, but so far, all the S-species seemed to tower over her. His hair was a rich brown chestnut shade, with golden streaks here and there, and it waved against the strong column of his neck. His face had an elegant yet completely masculine beauty to it with clean lines to his nose and jaw, and a sensual mouth. Arched brows just slightly darker than his glossy hair emphasized his striking eyes. They were a beautiful deep verdant green that on an average human would look unnatural, but on him seemed to fit. Wide shoulders filled his tunic, his legs looked long and athletic, and his posture seemed utterly relaxed. His lips curved in a small smile as if he knew what impressions she was receiving.
Since the evolution, she'd heard the Superhumans were all extraordinarily good looking, and the three men she was to serve certainly fit the description. She supposed that fact was one small consolation.
He said, “You know why you're here."
It wasn't a question and she didn't treat it as one. “You don't waste any time, Ambassador. I've barely arrived. And here we are.” She indicated the bed, hoping he didn't notice the trembling of her hand before she let it fall back to her side.
He laughed at the sarcasm in her tone, a low ringing sound that echoed in the chamber. “I see no use in waiting, for you'll only grow more apprehensive. All three of us are already restless and could use some activity to take off the edge, especially myself and Colonel Helm. There is precious little for us to do on the journey. Our job begins when we arrive at our destination."
"And I am to be your ... entertainment in the meantime?” She lifted her chin as she spoke, though her heart pounded and her stomach felt tied in knots.
Softly, he said, “We will also entertain you. Tell me, what is your name?"
For a moment, she hesitated, but then she shrugged because she couldn't see the point in refusing, especially since Herad knew it anyway. As far as she could tell, her captors knew everything about her, inside and out. “Jerra Aubrey."
He inclined his head, and his green eyes seemed to look right through her. “There's no need to be afraid, Jerra. Your presence here is about sexual pleasure, nothing more."
"That's the trouble. Nothing more? I am an object to you, not a person, and this is not my choice."
"Certainly you can choose to make the best of what has happened to you. Maybe you didn't know this, but captives quickly flourish in our care. None I've heard of want to go back to their previous life, which should tell you something. Enjoy your time on this journey, and afterwards, breed children as beautiful as you are. You'll be nurtured and well-cared for by the most powerful beings in this universe."
The man was a diplomat, after all, and he specialized in soothing disgruntled rulers and irate nations. It was no wonder he thought he could cast her platitudes and soothe her into his bed, Jerra thought resentfully.
For there was no doubt that was why they were in the room. She didn't have any experience with men, but the way he looked at her indicated an intense carnal interest that was unmistakable.
He was going to have sex with her and there was nothing she could do about it.
"I won't resist you,” she said coldly. “But I won't enjoy it, either."
"Are you so sure? You're a virgin after all and have no experience. Most females enjoy sexual release equally as much as men. I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised."
After her physical examination, she'd been taken with the other prisoners to a large room where they had been instructed on how to behave during their duties. There had been little to no explanation about what actually was going to happen, but instead emphasis on cooperation and obedience. Jerra looked at the tall man in front of her with a glimmer of uncertainty. He certainly seemed amused and sympathetic to her trepidations, which she had not expected.
"Let's find out, shall we?” He indicated the bed with a graceful movement of his long-fingered hand. “Take off your gown and lie down."
"With them watching?” She felt at once flushed, her heart pounding harder. All she knew about sex was what she'd read in books. Since she was below the age the government would give consent for her to marry, she wasn't allowed much around men on her home planet. A woman had to be twenty-five, and everyone understood it was because the S-species wanted to be able to pick and choose who they wanted.
"If they want to watch us, they can. That's why the window is there. Also, we can tell that way if you are already occupied."
Her cheeks flushed deeper. “Occupied?"
"This chamber is made just for the purpose we are about to use it for, Jerra. You'll also sleep here.” He began to unfasten his tunic, his eyes taking on a glitter that made them more brilliant than ever. “Now, the gown, please."
He dwarfed her in size and could easily force her, so she grabbed the hem of the filmy garment and jerked it up off over her head. Without looking at him, her face averted in embarrassment over her nudity, she did as she was told and climbed into the middle of the bed. She felt very much on display, knowing all three of them could see every bare inch of her and fought the urge to try and cover herself with her hands.
It was easy to know when he followed, for the mattress dipped and she suddenly felt the warmth radiating from his skin as Kartel reclined next to her.
Naked.
Without thinking, she impulsively looked over out of sheer curiosity. He lay propped on one elbow, and a wickedly attractive smile hovered on his mouth. Her lips parted in surprise as she saw the hard, defined muscles of his chest and shoulders, the sinewy length of his legs, dusted with a light covering of hair, and most startling of all, the bold length of his engorged penis high against his flat stomach.
It looked very long and entirely too big to put inside her, and she studied his arousal in unwilling fascination. The smooth length had veins visible from base to the flared tip. A small hole crowned the crest, the slit shiny with droplets of fluid. She could see his shaft pulse slightly in a regular rhythm and realized with a small shock it was the steady beating of his heart.
"You're curious, aren't you?” he murmured. “And desirable as hell, which is an excellent combination in a bedmate. We'll all be happy to teach you every way you can please us. We'll also demonstrate exactly how we can please you."
Jerra had to force her gaze away from his straining erection. It frightened her, but she was also inexplicably intrigued. “Why would you care about pleasing me? I'm simply a warm convenient toy with the correct anatomy for you to use."
His smile widened. “How convenient for you that the portion of my anatomy I'll use is also a tool to bring you sexual satisfaction and great pleasure. And we do care about you being pleased in a selfish way, I suppose, for it enhances the experience for the male when the female enjoys intercourse. Tell me, did you receive an injection this morning?"
She had, though no one had bothered to tell her why. She nodded, doing her best t
o resist the urge to return to staring at his formidable erect cock.
"The shot was to enhance your sex drive and bring it up to an S-species level. You'll get them from time to time on our journey.” He still hadn't touched her, but just looked at her with his captivating eyes, his voice smooth and unthreatening. “So you see, we are not interested in only your luscious body, but also your general well-being. The happier you are with us, Jerra, the more we can all enjoy each other."
Was it true? God, she hoped so for her situation had seemed so hopeless.
"I'm not lying, Jerra, and I'm glad your fears are easing a little."
Before she could speak, he moved. Nothing sudden, just a shifting of his weight so one sinewy thigh slid over hers, trapping both her legs. His fingers trailed slowly up her arm in a persuasive caress as he leaned forward and captured her mouth.
The pressure of his lips startled her and she stiffened, but all he did was lightly brush against her until she relaxed. It wasn't unpleasant, for his mouth was warm and tasted sweet from whatever beverage he'd been drinking when she'd arrived. His tongue traced the seam of her closed lips and then with gentle insistence, he forced it into her mouth.
She had never been kissed and didn't expect the rush of sensation. Heat, the sweep of his tongue, the firmness of his lips as they molded to hers ... it all blended into an intimate sense of joining that had nothing remotely to do with the violation she anticipated.
The kiss lingered as he leisurely rubbed his tongue against hers, licked the sensitive corners of her lips, and even ran it along her teeth before sliding back deep inside again and again.
The entire time she could feel the hot throbbing of his erection against her stomach. It still felt huge, but Kartel was right. Her fears did seem to be abating. He hadn't forced himself on her in any way, she realized with relief, but was coaxing her with his light touch and gentle kisses.
"I like your taste,” he whispered as he finally freed her mouth and slid a warm trail down the curve of her throat with his lips. “I will taste more in a moment. I'd bet you have a delicious pussy, and my tongue is anxious as hell to find out. But right now, your beautiful tits hold my attention. It's hard to believe these are real and not augmented."
He cupped one breast first, lifting and squeezing lightly and cradling the weight of it in his palm. His hands reshaped her resilient flesh and his thumb rubbed her nipple in a slow circle that teased the peak to sudden hardness. “Perfect.” His voice was low and held satisfaction she could hear. “So full and firm and female."
She made an involuntary sound because the brush of the caress on that tingling crest sent a jolt through her stomach that centered between her legs. Delicious or not, her pussy suddenly felt warm and for whatever reason, wet.
Her reaction seemed to please him. “That's it,” he murmured, his eyes darkened to shaded emerald as he toyed with her breast. “Let your body take over and free your mind, Jerra. Humans innately want sex and it was one characteristic we made sure to not eliminate as we evolved, so we do as well and even more so. Elevated to our level, your body will crave male possession. You may reject why this is happening between us, but I promise you won't reject what is happening."
She wanted to argue, but he began to fondle the other breast, and she lost her voice. Lying on her back, she watched him touch her. For a few minutes, she forgot about the window, but when she glanced over, she saw both of the other males were still there, watching as his mouth skimmed downward and settled over her erect nipple.
When he began to suckle, she had to fight to not move restlessly, not sure what exactly was happening. He moved back and forth, teasing one breast with the heated adhesion of his mouth, and then the other. She had no idea of his intentions when he suddenly rose above her, but the wet tip of his cock replaced his tongue. Semen glistened on her nipples as he pushed the head sensuously against her now stiff flesh, and she shivered in reaction.
"Spread your legs.” The order was issued in a deeper tone and for a moment their gazes locked, his cock resting in the valley between her breasts, large and hot. She could feel the pulse against her much cooler flesh.
When she hesitated, he said with even conviction, “You are becoming aroused, Jerra. Don't you want to know what happens next? Spread your legs and I'll make you come.” His arched brows lifted as he smiled darkly. “You won't be sorry to be introduced to that unique experience, believe me."
She did as she was told, mostly because he had been gentle so far, and she was a bit shocked at her own reaction to his touch. He was right. She had gone very quickly from resistant and angry, to expectant. Even the sight of his long cock rubbing against her nipples hadn't been nearly as shocking as it should have been. It normally would have gone against her instincts to open willingly, especially with a large naked and aroused male on top of her, but she spread her legs wide and felt the aching need between them with wonder.
Both Larik Armada and Colonel Helm would see what she was doing, she realized in her haze of confusion over the changes in her body and attitude. They witnessed her open-legged acquiescence and would expect the same thing.
There was a flash of approval in Ran Kartel's remarkable eyes and he slid downward slowly, leaving a wet trail of his seeping discharge on her torso. To her surprise, he didn't poise to enter her, but instead went all the way down until he rested in a prone position and his mouth settled on her exposed pussy.
What happened next was utterly shocking and incredible. The sensation of his warm tongue sliding between her labia, forcing the folds apart as he laved up and down, was not at all what she expected. He found a certain spot and teased it, swirling around the encased bundle of nerves with delectable pressure that made her wayward body arch in response. For the first time, she touched him, her hands grasping his broad shoulders. He felt solid and hot, and his skin was smooth and faintly damp.
She gasped. “Oh."
The pleasure was too exquisite to describe.
Almost mindless, she let her thighs fall apart even more, and he cupped her ass in his hands and accepted her offering. The soft wet sound of his mouth moving against her throbbing pussy was punctuated by her small involuntary moans filling the room. Through the haze of rapturous enjoyment, she felt an inner tension rise, as if her body sought something elusive.
A few moments later, she found it.
It was as if a star exploded in a blaze of glorious ecstasy, the brilliance of the release making her entire body shudder with the splendor of the pleasure. A low scream tore from her throat, and she could feel the contractions in her vagina and her womb as her orgasm held her prisoner.
It was beyond imaging and seemed to last forever until her body finally went limp and she felt him slide away.
Upwards. So he once again rested above her and this time she felt the nudge of something bold and hard against her wet, open pussy. Ran smiled, and his almost sinful beauty was striking and potent, reminding her of what and who he was. He drawled, “This is going to be a very pleasant journey, don't you think?"
* * * *
Her taste was still on his tongue and Ran let her savor her own sexual fluids as he kissed her and began penetration. The fact she was exquisitely tight was no surprise, for not only was her body innocent still, that was one of the perks of fucking human women. S-species males were larger than human males in every way, mentally and physically. His cock was bigger than what her body was designed to accept, but what was remarkable about human female anatomy, and especially the vagina, was the elasticity of that organ. It always took a little time to get all the way in, and it was pleasurable as hell, but he knew she could take all of him if he was careful. Compared to sex with one of his own kind, her tightness made the experience all the more enjoyable. Luckily, in her case, she was still almost dazed from her first orgasmic experience, and as he slowly worked his cock through her small opening and began to push into the wet heat of her hot, sweet pussy, she didn't seem to register the discomfort at his entry.
Sure enough, a moment later, she made a small sound like a sigh, and her lashes fluttered open as she slightly lifted her pelvis in an instinctive and unspoken invitation.
Yes, she definitely—or her body—wanted him inside her.
Her inner walls were like heaven around the careful invasion, yielding just enough to allow him in, hugging him like a clenched fist. Usually, he had complete control sexually, but whether it was the abstinence of the past few weeks as they readied for the journey and made the trip past Earth to pick up their females, or the way her delicious pussy felt around his cock, he already had the urge to ejaculate. Ran took a deep shuddering breath and fought it, sinking in deeper until he finally reached his goal and his entire length was sheathed in her luscious body.
Jerra moaned and he asked through clenched teeth, “Am I hurting you?"
"I feel torn in half.” She breathed the words in small pants. “But there isn't pain."
"You feel damned good,” he told her with complete honesty, marveling at not only the pleasure of her pussy holding him deep inside her, but her remarkable and entirely natural beauty. She lay beneath him, framed in the glory of her lustrous outspread golden hair, her beautiful body tinted a lovely post-orgasmic pink. Those full high breasts quivered as she breathed, tipped with delicate rose nipples that had tasted as sweet as any confection.
The amazing fact was her alluring perfection wasn't engineered or manipulated by science—but the simple result of random genetics. He was sure he had never seen a woman so lovely even among S-species females, all of whom were gorgeous. “Tell me when you have adjusted enough to my size that I can move. I know I'm big, and sometimes it takes a few moments."
