Stolen and Seduced

by Christine Pope

He narrowed his gaze towards me. “What are you asking?”

  “I am asking, hypothetically, if we could find a way around this? If the King does not know yet, perhaps there is a way for us to not tell him.”

  Dhior rolled his eyes. “There is no way he will not find out. Humans cannot hold their tongues, you know that. And if they cannot hold their tongues, then they cannot keep their thoughts to themselves either.”

  “Gia is different. She does not spout out her deepest thoughts and desires like other humans. And I can seldom read her mind, despite having fluid bonded with her. And if I could not, maybe the king will not be able to either.”

  “She is his child,” Dhior said, eyes widening at me. “Do you really believe he will not know?”

  “He does not know her; not like I do. And it has been years since he has been on Earth. He has no idea what it’s like now. Perhaps we can devise a story that will sate his need for information. Same for the crew. They do not have to know … do they?”

  “Even if I wanted to, which I am not sure I do, I cannot say for certain that this would work. Then he will have both our heads.”

  Dhior was right about that.

  The king was a hot head, so to speak. Although he claimed to have loved his child, he never tried to bring her home before he fell ill. So, the chance that he would jeopardize our planet’s welfare now, well. I was skeptical at best.

  “Perhaps he is sick enough that none of this will matter.” I was hopeful, at least.

  “Even on his deathbed, he will never be that ill.”

  Gia began to stir, her long eyelashes fluttered open until her green eyes scanned the corridor before focusing onto mine.

  A tear streamed down her cheek.

  “Please, love. Do not cry.”

  “How could you do this to me?”

  “I did not do this to you, Gia. Your father, he is king of our planet. You are his only living heir. He wants you to become queen when he dies.”

  “Tell me everything,” she said, her palm grazing my cheek.

  Gia’s touch radiates through me every time her skin meets mine. It is one of the reasons, no matter how hard I tried to avoid it, I couldn’t not love her.

  “First, let me tell you how deeply sorry I am. I tried hiding us, but I failed you.”

  “Maybe next time be honest with me.”

  “When your mother told you over and over, I gauged your belief and determined telling you would only make things worse. I chose us, our love over my duty to the legion. The moment I did, I was determined to keep you safe, far from that life or the world your father wanted you to take over.”

  “Is it that bad?”

  “It is not bad exactly, but it isn’t living. It’s war and sacrifice. I did not want that for you. It would burn out your light.”

  “Maybe next time, let me decide. Will you?”

  “Agreed. Although there will likely never be a next time.”

  “No, I won’t allow that.”

  “Sweet Gia. Some things, even you cannot stop.”

  “If you’re serious and I am meant to be some queen, I will not let anything happen to you. And if you think I’d ever allow that, well, you don’t know a thing about the woman you married.”

  I stared down at the woman I fell for, remembering all over again how easy it was to get lost in her eyes. Her voice. Her smile.

  “Okay, so tell me everything. First, I need to know … do we have another choice?”

  I glanced up at Dhior who looked at me with his sharp, indigo eyes. “Does she?”

  “What do you mean?” He looked at me, then turned to Gia.

  “I mean, is it too late to turn this ship around and head back home?”

  Dhior

  Something about seeing my lover holding his female in his arms so tenderly gave way to feelings I had tried desperately to hide away.

  “I am sorry, but no. We do not have enough fuel to return you to Earth, then for us to return home.”

  “Why return at all?” the female asked. “We have a spacecraft, for fuck’s sake. We can become space pirates.” Her smile was … infections. I would give her that.

  “They would find us, sooner or later. Kai tried to run, and you see how well that worked out for him.”

  “I was eavesdropping on your conversation before I let you know I had woken up.” Her human eyes searched mine, deeply. “You two were lovers, weren’t you?”

  I released a deep sigh. “Kai was my partner in the legion, but my paramour in life.”

  Gia looked up at Kai. “You’re gay?”

  Running his fingers along her cheeks, he then grazed the skin along her chin. “No, my love. I am … bisexual? I think that’s what humans call it now. So is Dhior.”

  Kai turned to me, giving me a look I had not seen in so very long. One I had missed so much since he had been gone on Earth. He reached out then, running his warm fingers along my face, causing heat to rise there, among other places.

  As much as I tried to deny it, his touch gave rise to other things, namely, the appendage between my legs that I’d learned human males called cocks. Which I found rather strange since another thing on Earth called a cock was a male chicken.

  What an odd planet.

  Those thoughts, however, were shoved off as the blood filled my cock beneath the human clothing I was wearing. Clothing I had put on to blend in with the humans while searching for Kai. Clothing that I was now ready to remove.

  “Sexuality is different for our people. Gender does not matter. Male, female. It only matters in breeding. Each Thoruk is expected to breed once in their lifetime to keep the species alive, but none of that has any bearing on their relationships with others.”

  “So basically, it’s a free for all up there?” Gia laughed.

  It was a rather hypnotic sound, one that began to cause strange feelings in my body. A juxtaposed mix of warmth and cold chills raced through me, causing the hairs on my arms to stand on end and little bumps rising on the skin there.

  “You have goosebumps,” Kai said before smiling at me. The smile quickly faded, however, as he looked back at the would-be queen. “Her voice does that to me as well.”

  Kai’s gaze bore into mine before he released a sigh then turned to Gia.

  “So, why humans?” she asked.

  “Humans aren’t necessarily the most intelligent beings of all the worlds I have travelled to, but their bodies are most compatible with ours. Breeding with a Thoruk would make theirs healthier and heartier. Our life spans are three times that of humans, and research found breeding created a hybrid race even superior to our own.”

  Which is one of the reasons Gia was so breathtaking to me. Her new species was undeniably attractive and far superior to that of the average Thoruk female.

  “So, why my mother?”

  “I do not know,” he answered her honestly. “I wasn’t there when Drakkaras mated with your mother, I had left and returned to Thoruk to begin testing samples. We did not even know he had successfully bred with her until years later when I returned and saw the signs of your existence.”

  “What kind of sign?”

  “Our blood has an antigen that’s missing in human blood. It’s why you have been unhealthy most of your life. Things changed once we came together, did they not?”

  Gia narrowed her eyes. “Yes. I wasn’t sick anymore.”

  “That’s because we successfully fluid bonded. Our blood joined, fusing together, and the lacking antigens in yours were replaced. It first seemed like a death sentence for breeding with humans, but it’s actually a very simple fix, one I discovered.”

  “Well, that answers the health issue. So why go back at all, if it’s that terrible of a place?”

  “Because it is not,” Kai said, staring into my eyes.

  “Our world is ruled by love.” I pressed my lips together while staring at the hybrid. She was very beautiful. I could see Kai’s fascination. “Or rather, it used to be, until Drakkaras ascended to the throne.�
�

  Gia frowned at that comment. “So Drakkaras is my father?”

  “I’m afraid so,” Kai said. “He is not a good man, Gia.”

  She let out a sigh. “And you’re sure I’m his kid?”

  “I am sure,” Kai and I both said at the same time. We laughed at the same time, too. Some things had not changed.

  Gia’s identity had been confirmed when she was a young child, and long before we explored Earth. Then Kai reconfirmed it years before they even met, before he left me on a mission I never expected to last so long.

  “Part of my job as a scientist for my people was finding compatible species to breed with since our kind have such a difficult time with it. I’d travelled through hundreds of galaxies to find a compatible species when I landed on Earth by total accident.”

  “How fortuitous,” she said, rolling her eyes. “And you both speak English so well.”

  Kai laughed. “We speak many languages. And I love when you get sassy.” Kai leaned down and pressed his lips to the queen’s.

  That feeling in my cock returned, and I instinctively reached out, touching Gia’s thigh.

  Her eyes opened, and she looked at me and smiled.

  “I am sorry I took him from you,” she said. “That was not fair. I can see that he loves you, and that you’re a good man. You didn’t deserve that.” Gia sat up then. “May I … touch you?”

  Speechless at the melodic tone to her voice, I simply nodded before finding my curious courage.

  “May I touch you?” I asked in return.

  “Yes,” she whispered, her eyes never leaving mine.

  Slowly, I reached out and laid my palm against her face. Her skin was surprisingly supple. It had a soft feel to it, something I wasn’t used to. Our skin was tough and thick, keeping us from being wounded easily. Hers was clearly more like the humans, although I had never touched one before now.

  I could instantly see Kai’s attraction to the queen. Gia was beautiful and mesmerizing. Everything about her made me want to touch her, to ravish her body, and to claim her as my own.

  Before I could deny myself the pleasure, Kai cleared his throat, reminding me where we were and who we were.

  Kai stood from the floor, reached down, and then picked Gia up into his arms. “This may be the last chance I have to make love to you, to both of you.” Kai looked at Gia. “We’ve participated in group sex before. What do you say? One last time?”

  A tear glistened in her eye. “I will not let anyone hurt you, but …” she looked over at me then. “I’m game if Dhior is.”

  Her body came alive, and I could feel her need, literally palpable in the stale corridor of our ship.

  “Dhior,” Kai said my name with such desire and need. “Take us to your bed chamber?”

  Gia

  Wasting no time, Kai picked me up and carried me off down the dark corridor toward another room.

  They called it a bed chamber. Interesting.

  Purple metal curved gracefully around the chamber; it was a circular room. Intertwined with the softly glistening shapes were random pieces of what looked like wood and other materials, woven into a blending of coolness and warmth, like two halves of a whole.

  “This is so sci-fi,” I said out loud as Kai laid me gently down on what I assumed to be their version of a bed. I stared up at him and tilted my head to see both Kai and Dhior staring down at me. “So … you two, you’ve had sex before?”

  They looked at each other, smiling, and they nodded. The looks on their faces were ones I would never have suspected.

  They both looked at each other fondly. I could tell they wanted to touch each other, but they weren’t, and I wasn’t sure why.

  I glanced around the room, but my attention couldn’t be pulled from the massive round bed. “What the hell size is this thing?”

  Kai smiled at me. “King?”

  “I guess kings on your planet are bigger than they are on mine.”

  Kai stared down at me. “Our planet. It is your legacy, too.” He glanced back at Dhior.

  “Kiss him already,” I blurted out, unable to stop myself.

  They both seemed surprised.

  “Are you sure?” he asked.

  I glanced at Dhior, who seemed … sad. “Yes. Very.”

  Not wasting another minute, Dhior took charge and claimed Kai’s mouth. His large hands wrapped around Kai’s scruffy cheeks. The power and passion in their kiss moved me; a strange, new feeling I’d never felt before filled my chest.

  While I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about watching my husband kiss another man, much less an alien, it felt … right.

  The way they held each other, refusing to even come up for air, made me realize Kai and Dhior had a past long before I’d ever even been born. It was clear they felt very passionately for one another, and it strangely made me both happy and even a little bit turned on.

  One of Dhior’s hands slipped down over Kai’s arms, his hips, then moved in front, pressing firmly on Kai’s cock. Although it was still covered by Kai’s black dress pants, I could see his erection from here.

  For the next several moments, I watched in awe, and surprisingly turned on, while their hands roamed over each other’s bodies and their mouths stayed glued together, every now and then, I’d see their tongues run over the other’s lips.

  It had to be the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.

  After a few minutes, both Kai and Dhior’s skin turned darker. A strange shade of purple. Scales rose up on their skin, becoming less human and more … alien.

  And their tongues, they changed too. They became longer, but not thinner. As if becoming engorged, like a human penis.

  My eyes grew wide watching.

  A moment later, the two men moved to the bed.

  While I expected them to continue with each other, Kai broke their kiss and turned to me, pulling my body to his.

  Dhior says some words in a language I didn’t understand, when Kai nodded and then Dhior turned to look at me. “Can I … touch you?”

  I simply nodded.

  Dhior looked at Kai, who also nodded, before looking back at me and reached his hands towards me.

  Tentatively, his alien hands ran over mine, exploring my skin slowly.

  Before then, it hadn’t occurred to me that he may have never touched a human before. Or even a woman, for that matter, since I wasn’t sure if he was even into girls. Although he didn’t look human as he had before. Now, he truly looked like an alien.

  His touch was … damp. Gritty. I could feel some rough bumps on his palms. They didn’t hurt, but they certainly felt strange sliding along my skin.

  “You do not look Thoruken,” he said then glanced up at Kai. “Are you sure she is the princess?”

  Kai smiled at him. “Yes. Look into her eyes.”

  Dhior turned and stared into my eyes then; his eyes had changed since we’d come into the bedroom.

  I blinked while staring into them.

  He reached out for my hands and covered mine with his. “Close your eyes, your majesty. Let me show you something.”

  I glanced over at Kai, a little unsure of what to expect.

  “It’s alright, my sweet. Trust in Dhior.”

  “Okay.” Taking a breath, I closed my eyes and the world went dark. But only for a moment before it came back to life.

  I saw Thoruk. A planet similar to Earth, only darker and much more beautiful.

  Then I saw a life of love, one that Kai and Dhior had long before I came along. I knew then, this was right. That it was okay, and that this threesome was what we all needed to get a little perspective.

  As his fingers roamed over my body, something woke inside me.

  Life began with his touch.

  I felt his forehead lean against mine, then he ran his hands through my hair. “I have missed Kai terribly. I am thankful he has had you, but I need him back. Even if it is only for this night.”

  Next thing I know, two sets of hands start roaming up and down my
body. I began to fall in love with the feel of two men adoring and teasing me. It was so fucking decadent.

  Taking a step back, I did a little striptease, exposing my flesh to him.

  First, I reached down to the hem of my shirt, then pulled it up over my head. I started to reach behind me, but Kai relieved me of that duty, quickly unfastening my bra, then slipping it down my arms to expose my 34Cs to Dhior.

  His eyes grew wide, and I couldn’t help but grin.

  “Show him the rest,” Kai said, encouraging me.

  With a sultry look, I stood and slid the skirt and red panties I’d been wearing down off my hips, letting them fall into a pool on the metal floor.

  “Your body, it is …” Dhior licked his lips with that crazy alien tongue that flicked out like a snake’s. “Mouth-watering.”

  I couldn’t help but laugh at that.

  Before I could even take a spot on the bed, Dhior moved me back onto the bed.

  It was really freaking sexy.

  For the first time in my life, I felt … insatiable.

  Lips and those talented tongues began trailing over my skin, over my nipples—oh, fuck that felt good—across my belly, up my hips and down my thighs. Their hands felt so sensual as they explored my aching flesh.

  Weaving my hands in their hair, I encouraged them both as they relit the fires burning in my core. I could definitely get used to this. It was so damned hot.

  Finally, Kai decided I’d been teased enough. His fingers probed me, running up and down the slippery skin between my thighs, forcing my back to arch involuntarily.

  “Dhior,” Kai said. “Let me show you how to pleasure a human female.”

  His head sunk between my thighs, and a moment later, that amazing thing he does with his tongue made me squirm so much I almost wished I was tied down.

  “Is that what you want, my queen?”

  I glanced down at him, his eyes staring all the way into my soul. “What?”

  “I heard your thoughts.”

  “What the fuck? How?”

  “Once mates have fluid bonded, we can hear each other,” Dhior explained.

  “Really?”

  “Yes,” Kai said. “I can hear you, my sweet. Your thoughts. Your desires.”
