“You have to sleep sometime, Argernon.”
He tilted his head slightly. “Everyone sleeps. What do you mean by that wording?”
She glared at him. “It means if you want to live a long life you’ll rethink this and take me back home. It means you can’t be on your guard all the time and when you are sleeping you are vulnerable. You might be huge and stronger than me, but I won’t accept this.”
Rage hit his features. “You are threatening to kill me?”
“Shit,” Casey muttered as fear hit her hard. The guy was enormous and a warrior. He was damn strong and she wasn’t likely to ever forget it since he’d carried her for miles like she weighed nothing to him. “Just let me go,” she said softly. “Please.”
He moved lightning fast. Casey saw him coming in the blink of an eye but had nowhere to go. She screamed when he grabbed her arms, her feet left the floor before she flew through the air, to hit the bed facedown, hard. She expected pain but there was none. Her hands were yanked behind her back. One of his hands restrained her wrists together. Casey heard material tear. She couldn’t see what he was doing with her hair in the way. She turned her head, rubbing her face on the mattress, trying to clear the long strands away from her eyes.
“Let me go!” She tried to turn over but a knee came down on her ass. It didn’t hurt. He only applied enough of his weight down on her backside to hold her pinned down tight on his bed. “Damn it! Get off me!”
Material was wound around her wrists. She struggled but she couldn’t get free. She did manage to turn her head to see that he’d torn a strip from the sheets that he was using to tie her wrists with. He didn’t look at her as he bound her wrists. His hand released her but the material held them together. He removed his knee to step away from the bed.
“Let me go, damn you!” She rolled on her side, struggling to sit up.
Argernon growled at her. He gripped the front of her shirt at the neckline giving it a hard yank downward. Material tore all the way open along the front of the shirt so Casey’s chest and stomach were exposed. Casey gasped as she did a dive for the bed. She hit on her stomach, covering her now exposed breasts. Throwing her head back to clear hair out of the way, she turned her head to glare up at him.
“If you force me I will kill you, you son of a bitch.”
His gaze tore from her as he eyed the room. His attention returned to bed. A growl tore from his throat. The translator was malfunctioning, Casey thought, or there weren’t words for the angry sounds he was making. He tore the top blanket from the bed where it had been pushed to the edge out of the way. The pillows went sliding with the blanket. His dagger-like knife went flying to hit the floor. Argernon’s angry eyes shot from the knife to her.
“No weapon, Casey? What is that?”
“I have no idea exactly what that is. It’s not like anything I’ve ever seen before. It was in your bathroom. You tell me what the hell it is.”
He growled again, storming for the fallen sharp object. He yanked it up and walked for the door. He shoved his hand over the scanner to open the door. Casey watched him with dread as he threw the weapon into the corridor so it wasn’t in his quarters anymore. She saw a man stop to stare into the room. This was another Zorn warrior, one she’d never seen before. He had jet black hair, tan skin, was as big as Argernon, and wearing almost the same black outfit. The man’s eyes terrified Casey as she stared back at him. They were totally black, giving them an evil appearance.
Argernon snarled at the man in the corridor. “Keep walking, Daros.”
The man tore his stare from Casey to frown at Argernon. “Are you having problems with your human? Need a hand? I’m good with seducing women.”
Argernon roared before he stepped back. The door slammed shut blocking the curious eyes of the black-eyed Daros who was left standing in the corridor. Argernon turned and snarled in fury.
“Is that what you want? Should I hand you over to another male since you find me so distasteful that you wish to kill me with my own shara?”
“I don’t know what a shara is and don’t you dare let someone else touch me.” Terror rolled through her at the thought of Argernon letting another man near her. Tears filled her eyes. “Please don’t let someone hurt me.”
He took some ragged breaths. “A shara is kept to cut hair when it gets too long and it is also a good weapon to keep nearby in case of attack. I didn’t mean that about another male. I am furious. You are my bound. I will kill any man who touches you. If your human men share their women then I am as unlike a human as a man can get. Are we understanding of each other?”
Relief hit her. “Yes.”
“Good.” He started to remove his clothing. He still looked pissed. “Stop looking at me like that.”
“Why are you taking off your clothes?” Her anger was fading fast to be replaced with fear. Argernon was stripping. “Stop getting naked.”
“It is impossible to make you want me with both of us dressed. Our clothing would only get in the way.”
Casey had a really bad feeling. “You’re going to force me?”
Argernon shot her another angry look. “Never. Harming is the last thing I would do to you, Casey. I never want to bring you pain.” His amazing blue eyes narrowed, his thick lips tightening into almost a smirk. “I feel confident that I can make you want me.”
“Oh shit,” Casey muttered.
She was certain he could make her want him too if he really put his mind to it. Anger burned in her, as the fear was swept away. She felt as if she were on an emotionally charged roller-coaster ride. She just wanted off and not in the sexual way that Argernon was obviously set on.
She watched him with dread as he stripped completely. Her eyes took in his perfectly muscular tan body. Looking at Argernon with his ridged muscles and sexy long hair made her want him. She had one very turned-on sexy hot alien standing next to the bed. His eyes roamed her backside. Very slowly he bent over her as their gaze locked together.
“I won’t forgive you for this if you seduce me,” she said softly. “I’m angry and I don’t want you. That should be enough for you to respect my feelings to not do this.”
Argernon had the nerve to chuckle. “Do your Earth men believe it when human women say these things?”
Casey shot him a glare over her shoulder. Her neck was starting to hurt from twisting her head to see him behind her. “Yes, they do.”
His eyes sparkled with amusement. “You are making me think that your males aren’t smart if they can’t handle an angry woman.” He gripped the back of the damaged shirt still clinging to her body. He shredded the shirt, tossing the pieces over his shoulder to the floor behind him.
She tried to roll away but Argernon pinned her flat on her stomach with his hands. He suddenly gripped her hips with both of his large hands to yank them up, forcing her to her knees. With her hands tied behind her back she couldn’t brace her upper body. Her head and chest were against the bed with her ass up high in the air where he held her in place.
“Stay like this.”
“Go to hell, Argernon. You kidnapped me. You won’t let me go home. I don’t want you seducing me.”
His large hands caressed her skin. A shiver ran down her as roughened calloused skin teased her as he captured her ass with both hands, gripping her firmly to keep her there. One of his fingers slid along the line of her slit between her thighs, that same finger finding her clit. He tapped the sensitive nub repeatedly. His other hand shifted his hold on her butt, the thumb of that hand finding her pussy entrance, to rub back and forth a fraction inside her.
Casey squeezed her eyes shut. Her body responded to the large Zorn. He bent over her more. His large frame pressed against her curved body. Argernon’s long hair teased where his hair fell against her naked back. Hot breath fanned on her skin when moved in closer to her neck. His lips hesitated just next to her ear.
“You are mine now, Casey. I won’t let you go. I can’t. We’re bound together. You can’t deny what
is between us. Do you really think I would just return you to Earth? Do you think I could return to my planet and just forget you? Could you truly forget about me?”
She hated the fact that he had a good point. She could never forget Argernon. They were damn good together. If he were human and wanted to live on Earth she’d be moving him into her house just to keep him in her bed. He wasn’t human and he was taking her to his home world.
“Let me go, Argernon. Return me to Earth. You can’t just take me away from everything that I know and expect me to be happy about it.”
He nipped her shoulder lightly with his sharp teeth. “I’m all that you will know. I will be everything to you as you are now everything to me. I will never release you or return you to your planet. I will get you as addicted to my body as I am to yours. You belong to me, beautiful.” His thick thumb worked inside her a little deeper, finding evidence that she was responding and using the wetness he found in her pussy to slowly start to fuck her in shallow movements. “I will teach you that we belong together. Agree to be my bound.”
Casey bit back a moan. She shook her head no against his bed. If she gave into him she’d be giving up her life on Earth. She’d never see her home again. She’d end up on some planet married to Argernon facing complete uncertainty. She tensed as his hands and mouth continued to her tease her. Her mind might be rebelling but her body was on Argernon’s side of the argument. His thumb moved in deeper, sliding in and out of her with ease in slow, teasing motion as her body got wetter with need.
“No. I want to go back to Earth. You can’t go around kidnapping women.”
Argernon froze. He slowly lifted his body away from hers. He growled softly at her. “I’m a warrior, Casey. I never back away from a fight. I will never give you up.”
“Go fuck yourself.”
“I don’t want to find self release. You showered while I was gone. I don’t smell me on you. You did this on purpose, didn’t you?”
Casey decided to plead the Fifth so she didn’t say a damn word. She couldn’t see him anymore, now that he had her ass in the air. She didn’t have the use of her arms to push her upper body off the bed. She heard the Zorn sniffing at her before he groaned softly. The thumb jerked out of her pussy, his other hand moving away so he couldn’t reach her clit anymore. He gripped her hip to keep her in place.
“You definitely washed my scent off you on purpose. You cleaned inside. You are getting wet. I smell your arousal but my seed doesn’t scent on you. I can’t taste it either.” He growled. “I don’t like that. You are mine and I like you scenting of my seed and sex.”’
“I want you to take me back home to my planet,” she ground out. “Isn’t life a bitch when you don’t get what you want?”
He softly growled. The translator stayed silent. She guessed that was him just sounding his anger. Panic flashed in Casey. Would he hurt her? She prayed not. She was helpless and vulnerable in this position. Her ass was in the air being held firmly there by his hand gripping her hip, her wrists bound behind her back.
“Don’t hurt me, Argernon.”
“I am debating on your punishment. If you were a Zorn woman I would spank you first, then tease your body, refusing to allow you to climax until you begged me. That is how they learn a lesson. Do your Earth men spank their willful females?”
“Please don’t do that.”
“I assume they do not. Your skin is so soft it would cause you real pain.” One of his hands released her hip to cup her ass firmly. His other hand rubbed the back of her thigh. “I would never hurt you, beautiful. You want me. You are highly aroused. Is it the thought of punishment, me binding you down, or the memory of my body joined with yours that makes you want me?”
“Go to hell.”
“I don’t know this place but I am sure it is not good by your tone.” He lowered his face until his long hair brushed her bared body again. He inhaled. A growl tore from deep in his throat, rumbling in his chest. “You smell so needy for me. You call to my body.”
He released her, moving away from her on the bed. Casey rolled on her side, watching Argernon as he walked to the storage wall. She wondered what he would do and what he was getting. He bent, rummaging in a drawer, before turning around.
His cock was jutting straight out to rise thickly showing that he was really turned-on. She tore her eyes from his hard-on because what he held in his hands got her full attention. Her mouth dropped open in shock as she watched Argernon brandish the item he’d retrieved. He was holding two wrist restraints that were made out of thick leather with a chain binding them together.
“Calm down,” she said softly. “I wouldn’t have used that knife thing on you. That’s why it was on the bed and not on my body. I’m not a warrior. I don’t even know how to fight. I was pissed off, um…mad at you, and I just found it so I put it on the bed. Please, Argernon. Don’t do something bad to me.”
He grinned, showing teeth. “You do not believe me when I say I will not hurt you? We use sexual frustration on Zorn to punish our women and make them submit.”
“That doesn’t look painless. What are you going to do with those? With me?”
He leaned over, his glowing blue eyes narrowing. “Anything I want, beautiful. I will teach you that you belong to me. You are my bound. I give you my seed. I give you my home to share and my protection. I will feed you, care for you and make you happy even if I have to teach you appreciation. You will be taught to not fight me and you will bend to my will.”
Casey stared at him in shock. “I won’t be broken.”
“I don’t want you broken. I want you to want me as much as I want you.”
Argernon grabbed her to push her flat on her stomach again. A knee went on her ass to painlessly pin her down. He made sure she was firmly pushed into the bed with enough of his weight that it was impossible for her to roll away. The chains rattled when the restraints hit the bedding next to her. He untied her hands but gripped them as he put one of the restraints on her wrist while holding the chain. He moved, releasing her with his knee. She rolled, trying to punch him with her free hand.
A large hand enclosed over her fist, catching it before she got the chance to hit him. He forced her other wrist into the restraint with an amused expression on his face. She was shackled in front now with only a foot of leeway spanning between her arms. He grabbed it in the middle. Backing up, he straightened from the bed, pulling her up by the chain.
The restraints were surprisingly comfortable. They were padded with something soft. Casey kicked at Argernon when she was jerked to her feet. He avoided her bare foot with a laugh. With a jerk her arms lifted over her head high enough that it put her on her tiptoes. He kept her at extended arm’s length while he smiled down at her.
“You are willful, Casey. I like that.”
“Just wait. I’ll show you willful, asshole. How is that for an insult? Do you know what an asshole is?”
His eyes narrowed as his smile faded. “I do. I am not an asshole.”
“It depends on who you ask. Let me go, Argernon. Now. Please. This isn’t funny.”
“I am not feeling amused any longer.”
He moved, stepping up on the bed. Forced by the chain, she had to step up to follow him on the bed since he held her chain above her head. It was climb on the bed where he pulled her slowly or dangle from her wrists when he lifted her. They both ended up standing on the bed. He said he wouldn’t hurt her and he hadn’t so far but what was he going to do to her standing on a bed?
Argernon looked up to the ceiling. She followed his gaze. A thick, large hook was part of one of the ceiling beams above the bed. Realization set in as she stared at that curved metal. Her eyes flew to Argernon whose head lowered. His eyes locked with hers.
“No way are you—” She squealed as he lifted her off her feet by the chain in his fist. “NO!”
He placed the chain on the hook. Casey kicked air. She was inches from the top of the bed where she hung from the ceiling. The restraints
were padded so they didn’t dig into her wrists. She wasn’t in pain but it didn’t feel great either to be suspended by her arms. Her eyes flew to Argernon as he stepped back to study his work with a nod. His eyes were still narrowed.
“Put me down.”
He gave a shake of his head. “Zorn women are taller. Your feet should touch.” He turned his head looking around the room before he looked back at her. “I don’t see a solution to this problem. Your toes should touch but you won’t be harmed this way either.”
“Damn it, Argernon. This isn’t amusing. Let me down. It hurts.”
He sniffed at her with a frown. His frown deepened. “Never lie to me. I smell arousal and anger on you but not pain.” He got closer to reach up. He touched her hands and examined her wrists. “You are not in pain. Now you will know punishment for your willful ways.”
She tried to kick out at him. It was hard to do without traction. He easily avoided her foot. Dropping suddenly, he went to his knees in front of her on the bed as his hands gripped her calves. Casey gasped as he spread her thighs wide to put them on each of his shoulder so his face was between her legs. She stared down at him in shock. Their gazes locked.
“I will not let you come until you plead to me to bury myself inside you.”
He lifted his arms, trapping her thighs between them and his neck. Both muscular limbs curled around her thighs, locking them down as his elbows bent over the top of her thighs. His fingers spread her pussy lips wide open to give him full access to her sex, leaving her exposed and vulnerable to his mouth. With her hanging like she was, she couldn’t do anything but buck her hips, trying to avoid his intimate touch. It didn’t work. Argernon growled deep in his throat as he moved closer. Hot breath hit an instant before his tongue was against her.
