Now that the awkwardness of the introductions was over, they needed to talk about the problem at hand since they would be in orbit around Sirus before morning. So their pharaoh finally took control over the meeting.
“Guild master, can you tell us more about Lara Dekker? We have reason to believe that she is dangerous and may be harbouring ill intent toward Roan,” Kham said, sliding seamlessly into his role as pharaoh.
“Please call me Arkenon, Pharaoh. Yes, she is most definitely dangerous, even though the evidence on her brother’s murder cannot be linked back to her. The Guild Council has tried to have her removed from her position due to a number of events that indicate her mental instability. She has very good legal counsel and as you know, Roan, an almost unlimited supply of funds to support her cause, which has tied up the ruling decision. We cannot stop her from attending the symposium to represent her family, but I will make sure that her every move is watched while she is there. We can also offer you a full guard contingent as she is known to hire her dirty work out. It would be inappropriate for me to show favor to any one ambassador. Otherwise, I would have you stay at my home while you are here, but I will make sure that your accommodations are as secure as we can make them.”
Eve could tell how much it meant to Roan to have his brother’s support after being without his family for so long, and it was very clear that Arkenon would do everything he could to keep them safe.
“Thank you, brother. I truly appreciate this more than you know,” Roan said quietly.
“We all appreciate your help, Arkenon,” Kai added.
“I’m just glad that you’re coming home, Roan. It’s been far too long. But to be showing me up with three attractive new mates while I am still a bachelor? Mother will never let me hear the end of it!” he said with a wink directed at Eve once again. “I’m sending you the schematics of the Palms Royal, which is where you’ll be staying. It attaches directly to the Council Building, so that will make security a bit easier. I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.”
With that the screen went black as the call ended, and it seemed like all four of them let out a relieved breath.
“Well, Roan, that went much better than I had feared. It seems like your brother isn’t as much of an ass as I remembered him to be,” Kai teased as he slapped Roan on the back. “It is nice to know that he still finds me as attractive as ever. I’ll keep on my guard for wandering hands.”
They all got a laugh out of that one, Kham leaning over to kiss the dejected pout off of Kai’s lips before he went to sit at his own desk. Roan also got up and set Eve down atop Kham’s desk, stepping in between her legs and pulling her tight against him.
“Thank you all for helping me do that. After six years I didn’t know how he would react to hearing from me. My family’s support is more than I could have asked for, but even without it I still would have been all right as long as I have you three with me.” Roan shared long looks with Kham and Kai. He then smiled down at Eve before he kissed her deeply.
Eve leaned into his kiss as it began to get more aggressive. When Roan’s hands moved up to her shoulders and began to slide the straps of her dress off she reluctantly pulled her mouth away.
“Guys, we can’t do this here. Mhat-Am could be here any moment, and the office doors are glass. Anyone could see us!” she moaned as Kai and Kham’s hands joined Roan’s in sliding her dress down.
“That’s right, love. Anyone could walk in and see us taking you right here on Kham’s desk. What do you think of that?” Kai whispered in her ear as he cupped a now bare breast.
Roan’s hands had begun sliding up the inside of her thighs, pulling the dress up as he went. While Kham on her other side leaned over to nibble and lick at her neck while his golden hand pinched and pulled at her breast as well. Eve’s pussy was so wet by the time that Roan’s fingers made their way to the tops of her thighs that he slid right into her easily.
“I think it excites you to imagine getting caught like this, Eve. Your pussy is soaking and begging to be filled.” Roan groaned as he dropped to his knees in front of her.
Both Kham and Kai’s gazes were intent on where Roan knelt, and they each grabbed a leg and held her open for him while their other hands continued to torment her breasts.
“Oh God, Roan! Lick me please. Make me come,” Eve whispered as she watched his mouth move in to devour her.
Eve had to admit at least he didn’t make her wait this time. Roan’s tongue and lips attacked her pussy aggressively, and when his lips closed around her clit sucking hard her climax came out of nowhere and made her scream out his name. Before she’d even gotten her breath back the men were sliding her farther up the desk and turning her sideways so that her hips were now in line with Kai, and her head was hanging over the edge.
“Guys, my head’s hanging over. I need to move down,” she said as she tried to wiggle back onto the desk.
She didn’t get far before Kham was lifting her head and bunching something soft under her neck. Once her head came back down she knew what he’d used as she was now staring upside down at his hard golden cock. Eve could see a pearly drop on the tip of it, which made her lick her lips in anticipation. That small movement had him groaning and grabbing the hard shaft to keep himself in check.
“Eve, ahh, stop doing that, or I’m going to come as soon as I hit your sweet lips,” he said, his hand still around the base of his cock.
“I can’t wait to be inside you, babe,” Kai said as he stepped in between her legs and began to tease her soaked folds with his cock, rubbing back and forth over her clit.
As Kham slowly fed his cock into her mouth giving her time to get used to the position, she felt Roan grab one of her hands and move it to his cock. He kept his own hand on top of hers to show her what he wanted, how hard and how fast to pump him. She was just getting the hang of multitasking when Kai surged into her in one hard thrust. She almost came from the surprise of being filled so suddenly. By the heated muttering from the other two men under their breath she assumed that Kham and Roan must have noticed the surge in her grip as well. Kai just chuckled as he began a steady rhythm, stroking into her until she was so distracted that she couldn’t keep up her own tempo with her mouth and hand. At that point Kham and Roan took over at their own speed and Eve just tried to hang on for the ride. Kai hit her G-spot one more time, and she screamed her climax out around Kham’s cock, causing him to follow her, shooting his seed down her throat.
“Oh damn,” was all Kai got out before he pushed into her hard one more time, then came as well.
That was all Roan seemed to be waiting for because as soon as Kai reluctantly pulled out of Eve, Roan took his place and slid into her easily. He must have been barely holding on because the fluttering of an aftershock from Eve’s orgasm had him gripping her hips tight and pounding into her for three more pumps before he bellowed out and collapsed on top of her.
“Wow, I need another shower,” Eve said as she brushed her fingers up and down the muscles of Roan’s damp shoulders.
“Yes, we’d better hurry. Mhat-Am is waiting for you in the common room,” Kai said as he picked up his discarded clothes and sauntered out of the office buck-ass naked toward their room.
“What?” Eve squeaked out as Roan picked her up and started out of the office with Kham not far behind them, both equally as naked. She barely managed to pull her arms up to cover her breasts as they passed a much-amused Mhat-Am watching the procession into the master bedroom.
“Morning, Matty,” Roan said in an unusually chipper tone for him.
“Sirs, I’ll return in twenty minutes to escort Lady Eve to our lesson,” was all the older man said before he walked back out of their suite.
Chapter Twenty-Three
After getting over her initial mortification at knowing Matty had heard and perhaps accidently seen them having sex in the office, Eve spent the rest of the day with Mhat-Am going over last-minute social protocol and etiquette for the various species she would b
e expected to meet at the symposium the next day. Her head felt as though it would explode with the amount of information she had needed to learn. At the end of the day she was so exhausted that when all three of her husbands met her at the door when she arrived back at the suite she let them guide her into the bathroom and into the steaming tub without a word. They lingered in the bath for an hour or so, and then Kai tucked her into bed while Roan and Kham retrieved trays of food. They had a lovely little picnic in bed, and the boys treated Eve to a full-body massage that unfortunately for them had her dosing off into sleep even before they were finished. Stressing about the revenge plans of a crazy ex-fiancée of one of your three alien husbands was tiring work. Who knew?
Eve woke up late the next day. She wandered out of the bedroom and found all of her men already up and in the office making last-minute arrangements before they headed to the surface.
“Good morning, love. How are you feeling?” Kham asked as he got up to kiss her.
“Pretty good. I’m a little nervous about today,” Eve answered as she walked over to kiss Kai and Roan as well.
“Everything will be all right, love. We won’t let anything happen to you,” Roan assured her.
“I’m more worried about you than me if that crazy woman is going to be at all these events with us,” Eve said, looking at Roan.
“Logically if she were going to attempt to hurt us it will be when we are en route to the events or in our suite. She will try to limit the witnesses if she can,” Kai added. “We will try to ensure that no one goes anywhere without a full escort of security, and our families will be visiting in the suite, so that should discourage her as well.”
“It will be all right, Eve. Now you’d best get going. We all need to get ready to leave and Mhat-Am is waiting in the guest suite to ensure you will look like a queen when we meet our new extended family,” Kham said as he kissed her and directed her toward Kai and Roan’s old rooms.
Eve wandered down the hall in their suite, and when she opened the door to the adjacent room she was met with Mhat-Am and three very serious-looking younger Dhuaatian men that she’d seen in passing on the ship but never had spoken to. They looked her up and down for a few moments and then began gathering up their supplies while Matty urged her to sit at the mirror in the bathroom.
“May we cut your hair, Lady Eve?” the tall one asked with a pair of scissors in his eager hands.
“What kind of cut are we talking about here?” Eve eyed him suspiciously.
“The pharaoh has authorized a slight adjustment to your hair length if you are agreeable, but he adores your long hair, so it would just be a trim to adjust the style,” Mhat-Am assured her.
“Okay, do what you will, guys. I don’t have any idea what I’m supposed to look like for this thing, but I trust you,” she said, settling into the chair.
Hours later, Eve had been plucked and trimmed and oiled up until every inch of her was glistening. Her hair was straightened and adorned with beautiful golden and stone beads throughout. They’d done her makeup in a traditional Egyptian style with dark dramatic eyes and Eve felt beautiful in the thick, heavy cream-and-gold silk of her dress. The low-cut belted dress was elegantly decorated in gold and precious stones, which gently swayed as she walked down the hall to their bedroom.
When Eve stepped into their en suite bathroom to see all three of her men standing there naked and gleaming with the same scented oil that had been rubbed into her skin all the breath rushed out of her body.
“Holy mother,” was all she said as she took in the oiled-up muscles on display in front of her.
Kham was a stunning golden statue of fine lines and perfect proportions, and while Roan and Kai had a heavier muscle mass, their darker tanned skin looked spectacular next to Kham. Once her eyes made it past their impressive chests and arms, she skimmed down their washboard abs and noticed the delicate gold chains that were around their waists. When she got closer her breathing only increased when she saw that the chain ran around their waists and another small chain led down to encircle their impressive cocks. Her hands were already reaching out without her even being aware of it when she realized they were laughing at the wondrous expression on her face.
“Do you like our jewelry, wife?” Kham asked as he sauntered over to Roan and traced a fingertip along the delicate gold chain following it down to the rigid cock causing the other man to groan.
“Hell yes,” she said, still staring blatantly.
“This is traditional Sirotian wedding attire. We thought it would be appropriate to wear under our Dhuaatian kettas,” Kai explained as he handed Kham and Roan their garments.
Eve had since learned that the short wraps that the entire crew wore were called “kettas,” but she could see that the ones they’d be wearing today were made of the same rich silk as her dress, and Kham’s was quite a bit longer than what Kai and Roan were putting on.
“Oh my, I can still see them. Wow, that’s hot,” she said as she fingered the chain that was still showing above the low-slung waist of the ketta on Kai.
“You can take them off later,” Kai whispered as he pulled her body closer to him for a lingering kiss on her neck.
“Why can’t I take them off now?” she whispered back.
“Because our shuttle leaves in fifteen minutes, and if we took them off right now we would miss it,” Kham answered as he gave her a quick kiss on the lips and finished putting on the gold necklace and armbands that noted his position as pharaoh.
Both Kai and Roan also had armbands as the pharaoh’s mates that matched the jewelry that Eve herself was wearing, but Kham was the only one who was also wearing a long draping robe that left his impressive arms bare.
As they walked down the hall toward the shuttle bay all of the crew stopped in their tracks to admire the stunning picture they made in their finery. Eve tried not to think about all the attention, as she knew once they landed on the planet it would be ten times worse. She held her head up and tried to adopt the persona that Mhat-Am had trained her for.
Chapter Twenty-Four
The shuttle ride was an experience that Eve would not soon forget. She’d barely managed to keep her breakfast down. Once she’d regained her color and was ready to go, her men led her out of the ship for her first steps onto an alien planet.
Sirus was a beautiful planet. She’d been expecting the odd red-hued suns from the vids the men had shown her of their home planets, but even though they’d tried to explain the slight difference in gravity to her it was a bizarre thing to feel in real life as they walked through the port. The new lightness to her step was just one more thing she’d have to get used to. The rest of the environment was easier to adjust to—lots of trees and vegetation. It was just in a different color due to the suns. It was as if someone had just placed a tinted lens over a camera. The dark-skin hue of Roan and Kai certainly made more sense now. She wondered if she’d get a tan while they were here.
Something that was more difficult to not notice was the diversity of species walking through the port. It was a good thing Eve had been an avid science fiction fan back home because seeing the different creatures that they were passing would have had her freaking out, but in her mind she told herself it was just like being at a Comicon convention. From the way most of the other patrons were stopping and whispering as their convoy walked by it seemed as though she was thought to be a rather unique creature herself. Eve almost had to laugh at the change in perspective that she was now the alien.
Once they had left the port and gotten into the conveyance that shuttled them to their accommodations the men were able to relax somewhat. Eve assumed that they were expecting an attack as soon as they’d stepped onto the planet. As they pulled up to the lavish hotel she could see the massive Coalition Council Building to the left. It was a spectacular piece of architecture with stone pillars and beautiful sweeping arches. As soon as they stepped into the lobby they were met by even more Sirotian guards who escorted them up to their suite. Once Ro
an and Kai had cleared the suites and the doors were shut everyone collectively released the breath they’d been holding.
“I’m glad that went well. I was expecting something to happen at the port. Lara never was the patient sort,” Roan said as he settled Eve on the couch with something to drink.
One of the guards at the door motioned for Kai’s attention.
“Sir, the guild master is on his way up with four more guests,” the guard said after listening through the earpiece the security teams used.
“Already? Who’s with him?” Eve looked to Roan and asked.
“I’d venture to guess that it’s our parents,” Kai said with a wink as he fixed drinks for himself, Kham, and Roan. “Not even the threat of certain death would keep our mothers from meeting you, love.”
“Great,” was all she got out before there was a knock on the door, and the guard opened it and stepped back.
“Arkenon, it’s great to see you,” Roan said as he embraced his brother.
Once again Eve was struck by how large Roan’s brother was. He was as tall as Kham but had the larger muscle mass of the Sirotians. All in all he was quite a striking man, but she didn’t have time to dwell on it as the other four people entered into the suite behind him. There were two older couples who were obviously Roan’s and Kai’s parents. The women were strikingly beautiful for their age, and their husbands were both equally handsome men. Roan’s parents looked to be a few years older than Kai’s, and by their composed stature she could see the diplomatic experience they both had. Whereas Kai’s mother shrieked and ran to hug her son, followed quickly by his father, Eve could see the tears pooling in Roan’s mother’s eyes as she slowly approached her son.
“Mother, it’s good to see you,” Roan said before he stepped up to embrace the smaller woman.
His father just walked up behind her and put his hand on Roan’s shoulder. Eve could tell he wasn’t a man that was used to showing affection.
