Toss of a Coin [Other World 1] (Siren Publishing Classic)

  He grinned widely. “How could I refuse the chance to hang out with two lovely ladies?” His device beeped again. “I’ll see you two later.”

  Keneese watched Kalen leave. An idea popped into her mind. She looked over at Alicka. “You have a computer you study on, right?”

  “Yes.” Alicka looked quizzically at Keneese.

  “Let’s go get Zallion to help us set it up so that we can send each other messages. If you’d like, you can come over to my place or I’ll come over here at set times to study together.” She was getting excited about helping Alicka through this rough time. In the Human Resources department, she’d helped people every day and she’d loved it. If this worked out with Alicka, she’d have to see about helping all of the females that came through the palace.

  Alicka nodded eagerly. “I’d love that.”

  With satisfaction humming through her veins, Keneese looked forward to a future here.

  * * * *

  Keneese was excited about going to see a breeder of lukpas. Luken had been too busy the last few days to take her. Today, he’d cleared his afternoon.

  A guard had given Alicka a lukpas to make her smile. Alicka loved her pet and had named it Mr. Tickles because it loved to tickle every person and thing with its long, fluffy tail. The animal had brought joy to her new friend.

  Luken was going to show her one of the top breeder shops. She could get one if one caught her attention.

  The sound of footsteps coming down the hall alerted her to Luken’s homecoming. She hung their clothes in the closet and as she left the large area, he walked into their bedroom.

  His eyes sparkled with lust when he saw her. “Are you sure you want to go look at lukpas? I can think of something much more fun to do.”

  “I’m sure you can, but I need to see as much of my new world as I can. We can make love tonight when the three moons are high in the sky.” She enjoyed making love and seeing the three triangular moons through the window in their bedroom ceiling. Luken’s naked body bathed in gold-and-pearl moonbeams was a glorious sight to behold.

  Her prince pulled her into his embrace and kissed her. The glide of his tongue over hers almost did her in. She loved the way he explored her mouth with his masterful tongue. The feel of his large hands roaming over her body always made her melt into him.

  A groan escaped her when he ended the kiss and took her hand. “Are you ready to go?”

  Her right brow hiked up sharply. “Why’d you heat me up? Now I have to go with swollen lips.” His eyes moved to her lips and a smirk crossed his mouth. “Both sets of lips.” His nostrils flared at her words. If she was going to be uncomfortable, so was he. “You have a magnificent breeding rod.” It turned her on when he called having sex “breeding.” It pushed a feral button in her. She ran her hand down his heavy length and hid a grin when he sucked in a harsh breath.

  “Don’t tempt me, delicate one. Not unless you long to feel my breeding rod filling up your breeding channel.” His hands slid up her sides and cupped her breasts.

  When his fingers rolled her nipples, she knew she shouldn’t have teased him. Something in her had driven her to do it. She’d been feeling more aggressive lately. Not knowing why, she guessed it was because of her sudden move to this planet.

  The demanding, swollen pearl between her legs had her answering, “If you think you can, go for it.”

  A soft blue flush colored his skin and the two tones of blue in his eyes started swirling quicker than usual. They hadn’t bred in a couple of days. That used to be no time at all for her, but ever since the first time they’d had sex, she’d needed it every day, sometimes twice a day. His work had hindered their lovemaking, but he was here now.

  To push him further, she stroked him more firmly with one hand and cupped his balls as best she could through his black pants.

  “You shouldn’t have teased me. I’ve needed you for days.” His voice was gruff and his eyes grew hungrier.

  “Breed me. Make it rough, my prince.” She loved it when he took control and forced her to come quickly. Right now, her body needed his badly.

  A rumbling growl came from Luken’s chest. His fingernails extended and turned into claws. Her prince’s hot gaze bore into hers as he hooked the neckline of her shirt. Her breath hitched when his hand moved down, cutting her shirt open. Since the females’ shirts had support sewn into them that left her breasts exposed. Her nipples pebbled under his fervent gaze.

  A grin curved the right side of his mouth. He pushed her ruined shirt from her body. As it fluttered to the ground, he pulled her to the bed and tossed her onto it. Before she could bounce up, his claws were gone and he was pulling her pants off.

  “Don’t move,” he ordered in a lust-roughened tone.

  Keneese watched as he unfastened his pants and pulled out his solid erection. The juices in her pussy ran down her thighs, she was more than ready for him to push his thick cock into her.

  “You still want it rough?” His hand slid between her thighs and pushed them open. He dipped a finger into her wet, aching pussy and wiggled it around.

  In a haze of lust, she watched as he brought his juice-slickened finger up to his mouth and licked her essence off. She spread her legs wider. “Yes, I want it rough. Please, hurry.” She was going to die if he didn’t dominate her soon.

  The swirling of his eye color slowed and then sped up. A carnal grin curled his lips. With preternatural sped, he had both of her hands pinned over her head with one of his. He used his knees to spread her thighs wider. The strain on her leg muscles sent a blast of molten lust to her core.

  Keneese was panting by the time Luken guided the large crown of his cock to her dripping entrance. Two rough fingers stretched her pussy lips wide apart. Her breath caught in her throat when he pushed in to the first thick pleasure ring.

  Tugging, she tried to free her hands. He growled the way she liked and tightened his grip on her wrists. His knees pushed her thighs a touch wider. She moaned as another shot of lust pierced her pelvis. The thumb of his free hand pressed her clit down so that it rubbed harshly against the thick blue band stretching her pussy to the limit. Her muscles tightened and her heartbeat sped up. His titillating scent filled her nostrils and her wet passage loosened for him.

  “That’s it, embrace being bred, little princess.” His huskily whispered words heightened her need.

  Her muscles became as taut as a bowstring. She squirmed as much as he’d allow. He slid in to the next thick ring and she cried out when her pleasure pearl was pressed into it by his rough finger.

  Luken’s breath quickened as he inched in the next thick band that circled his cock. His excitement escalated her own. She knew she wouldn’t last much longer.

  He shoved the rest of his shaft into her in one forceful lunge. The pressure of his thumb never eased. She cried out as the rest of the solid bands rammed into her clit. He growled as he ground the thickest band at the base of his clock up into her hot spot. Pleasure washed over her as her climax peaked. When she floated back down to reality, Luken was slowly thrusting in and out of her.

  “Glad you’re back, delicate princess. Get ready to go again.” Strong hands tilted her hips upward.

  A shiver raced down her spine when he licked her shoulder. She moaned, knowing what was coming. His teeth latched onto her flesh and he growled possessively as he took her.

  Her pinned body convulsed beneath his huge frame and she screamed as her muscles tightened up and her toes curled. Ecstasy claimed her again when Luken growled and stiffened. Hot seed filled her core, making her dance over the edge again.

  With his teeth and body pinning her, his chest rumbled and more of his seed flooded her quivering channel. The primal act brought fresh waves of pleasure coursing through her.

  Drifting of the waves, she was barely aware when he released her shoulder and started licking it until the skin was no longer bruised.

  “I love it when you go animalistic on me.” She ran her fingers through his hair and
sighed contentedly while he nibbled at her neck.

  “I enjoy breeding you roughly, little princess. I’d love to stay here for the rest of the evening, but we need to go to Yorc’s shop. He’s expecting us.” Luken placed a soft kiss to her lips and then rolled from the bed.

  Her gaze took him in. Luken was fully clothed, down to his long coat. While he put his cock away, she got up and headed for the closet. A shiver slid up her spine at the thought of him fully dressed, pinning her naked body beneath his and taking her.

  Mentally, she reprimanded herself for letting her mind wander back to the bed and all he did to her on it when she was supposed to be getting dressed for the second time today. Knowing Yorc was waiting for them, she hurriedly got cleaned up and dressed.

  Chapter Nine

  Luken helped his mate out of the hovercraft and straight up to Yorc’s pet shop. He knew she’d been excited about the lukpas that Alicka had been given. They were adorable, tiny creatures that made wonderful companions. He’d do anything to make his princess happy. She filled his heart with love and his breeding rod with desire.

  “They’re so cute. This is a nice shop. It seems to be well thought out.” Her gaze moved over every detail in Yorc’s shop.

  Luken saw it through new eyes. His mate was right. Yorc had something for all of the lukpas and their different personalities. There were tunnel toys for those that liked to hide, exercise paths for when any of them felt overly energetic, soft beds for sleepy heads, a variety of food in one section and a clean area to go relieve themselves.

  Yorc stepped from the back holding a baby lukpas. He touched his heart and bowed deeply when he saw them. “Prince, Princess, it’s an honor to have you in my shop.”

  Keneese nodded and then her face screwed up and she sneezed. “Oh, sorry about that. Something got to me.”

  Yorc lightly petted the yellow lukpas in his hand. “No need to apologize, princess. Sneezing is natural.” He gestured around. “Let me know if you see a lukpas that interests you. They are great companions. This little girl is only two weeks old. By the time she’s four months old she’ll be full grown.”

  “Are these all babies?” She asked while looking at all of the lukpas safely in their fenced off living area.

  “No. Lukpas are one foot tall when fully grown. This little girl I’m holding will quickly double in size.” Yorc held out the tiny lukpas. “Would you like to hold her? To get the feel of being around a lukpas?”

  Keneese looked at the three-tone yellow furry creature with its long, fluffy tail and big blue eyes. “Yes, I’d like to hold her. I’ve held one before.” She took the small animal and gently stroked its fur. Her face screwed up again and she turned her head and sneezed. “Oh, goodness. I’m not sure what’s gotten into me.” She looked into the lukpas’s sparkling eyes. “They have such pretty eyes. I’ll admit they are strange-looking with only three legs. The two in front are like animals on Earth, but the single thicker one in the back is very different. It does add to their cuteness when they hop along almost like a bunny on Earth.”

  The lukpas in her hands snuck its fluffy tail around and tickled Keneese under the chin. She laughed and then sneezed again and again. In the middle of her sneezing fit, she handed the baby lukpas back to Yorc. When she didn’t stop sneezing, Luken got worried and guided her outside. A few minutes of fresh air and she was doing better.

  “Whew, I don’t know what came over me.” Keneese wiped a new tear off of her flushed cheek.

  Luken had a good guess. “Did you sneeze when you were around Alicka’s pet?”

  “No…Yes, I did. I thought it was just something in the air.”

  Yorc came out of the shop, pet-free, and walked over to them. “Is everything all right?”

  “Yes, I’m afraid the princess is allergic to lukpas. We’ll have to go home.” He wanted to get her there as soon as possible. He didn’t like her being anywhere near an allergen.

  His princess turned to Yorc. “Thanks for showing us your shop. It’s amazing.”

  “I’m sorry you’re allergic to lukpas. I wish you two well and many healthy babies.” Yorc put his hand on his heart and bowed to them.

  Luken nodded and led his princess away from the source of her allergic reaction and to the safety of their home.

  * * * *

  Keneese was feeling great today. It had taken her two days to stop sneezing every thirty minutes after leaving Yorc’s pet shop. Yesterday she’d spent time with Alicka, minus her adorable pet.

  Today she planned on picking some of the moomon fruit in their backyard. The fruit grew on a vine, usually around a tree. With a bowl in hand, she went out and headed for the fruit. She’d tasted some of it at the palace during her visit with Alicka. It was sweet and tart at the same time. The first piece of fruit she reached for was a touch too firm and the dark pink spots on the light pink flesh weren’t quite dark enough.

  She hummed a tune as she looked the fruit over and chose several pieces. Once she had all she could reach from around that tree, she moved on to the next one. A pie made from moomon fruit would be good.

  Something in her peripheral vision moved. It wasn’t windy so no leaves were blowing. Just as she looked down a dark-brown snake-like creature pushed its way closer to her with its one clawed foot at the end of its cylinder-style body. It blinked all four of its black eyes at her, then opened its mouth and lunged.

  Keneese was frozen in place. She watched in horror as four rows of sharp teeth quickly headed her way.

  One strong arm lifted her up and turned her away from the creature that had been about to bite her. She heard a grunt and then a buzzing sound rent the air. The scent of burnt meat wafted to her.

  Keneese blinked up into ice-blue eyes. A touch of red glimmered in his collar-length black hair. Tor. The warrior had perfect timing.

  He grunted and carried her a few feet away from where they’d been and gently set her down. He touched his heart and bowed. A gun still filled his right hand. “Princess.”

  Her gaze darted to the creature. Its head lay a few inches from its limp body. Since there was no blood, she had to assume his weapon had burned through the thing. “Wh...What was that?” Her voice trembled and so did her hands. The shock of her close encounter was starting to affect her.

  His icy gaze softened and he wrapped a big, muscular arm around her shoulders. “That was a darcup. Their bite is deadly to some and others just become very sick for a few days. They can be found around moomon vines because the fruit is one of their favorites. I’ll see if the prince wants the plants removed from your yard or traps set to catch the animals. You must always be looking around for danger. If you don’t know what something is, it is dangerous to you.” Tor patted her shoulder and then stepped back.

  A second later Luken had her wrapped in his arms and was squeezing her tightly. She’d been looking at the dead darcup so intently that she hadn’t even realized that Luken had arrived.

  “By the moons, you’re going to scare me to death.” He kissed the top of her head and led her inside their home.

  “How did you know what happened?” That he seemed so informed perplexed her. Inhaling, she took in his wonderful scent and immediately started feeling better.

  “Tor pushed the speaker button on his communicator.” He hugged tightly again. “Don’t go anywhere near the moomon vines again. Darcups are dangerous and love that fruit. I should have already had the vines removed. Tor, make sure it gets done.”

  Tor grunted. “As you wish, my prince. Shall I come back later for our meeting?”

  Luken flipped his hand in agitation. “Yes. I need to be with my mate right now.”

  Keneese watched the seven-and-a-half-foot male nod and then turn to leave their home. “That’s not necessary. I’m fine. You two should conduct your business. I’m a little shaken, but I’ve been around deadly animals before. I’ll be all right.” At his questioning look, she added, “I’m fine. Your scent has helped me. I’ll listen to some calming music while
you two talk.”

  Tor had stopped and was waiting for Luken’s decision.

  “Go to my office, Tor. I’ll be there soon.” He cupped her face and kissed her gently at first. A soft brush of lips. Then his tongue slid into her mouth. His hands roamed her back as his tongue dueled with hers.

  Knowing he needed to go, she squeezed his forearms and leaned back. “Can we pick this back up after your meeting is over?” The way her sex was throbbing, she sure hoped so.

  He groaned and pulled her in tight for a moment. “Yes. I’ll finish up as quickly as possible.”

  Keneese watched Luken walk away with another piece of her heart. His fear for her safety had touched her deeply. I’m one lucky female.

  * * * *

  Keneese was wondering what Luken was doing at that moment when their door alert chimed. She walked over and checked the vid screen that showed who was on the other side of the door.

  Zallion stood there, looking calm as always. She opened the door and he dipped in greeting. “The queen requests your company.”

  It took a moment for his words to sink in. Luken’s mom wanted to see her! “When?”

  “Once you’re ready, princess.”

  Keneese glanced down at herself. Since she’d been given all of her new wardrobe, she figured she had to look the way they expected her to, so she stepped out the door. “Guess I’m ready.”

  “Very good, princess.” He held out his arm and she placed her hand on it. It was nice to be around a gentleman.

  While they walked along the path to the palace, Zallion’s gaze never stopped roaming. These people were serious about threats. The remembrance of the scary darcup was a sharp reminder that not all threats came from the skies.

  Zallion led her to a room on the second floor of the palace. Statues of people and things plus pieces of art depicting the VisOrrenta landscapes were placed around the room. She enjoyed them all.

  The queen stood and walked over to her. At six and a half feet tall, the queen had to bend slightly to take her hands and growl while touching her forehead to Keneese’s. She was starting to warm to the VisOrrentian way of greeting.
