Initiation

by Ruth D. Kerce

  Chapter Eight

  “Braden, you’re not going to…” She couldn’t say the words. Alexa’s heart pounded harder than she thought possible. “You’re too big.”

  He chuckled low, close to her ear and pushed his groin against her ass. “You’d be surprised how much the female human body can stretch to accommodate.” He rocked against her once, twice.

  Her fingers curled into the mattress. She couldn’t believe it. He was actually going to do it! Should she protest or submit? Was she ready to experience something she’d never even fantasized about?

  “However, that’s not what I have in mind…for now.”

  She breathed a sigh of relief. He’d taken the decision out of her hands. She knew it was part of the ceremony with the small dildo. But Braden’s cock felt excessively big. He was just taunting her sexually, teasing her, trying to drive her over the edge of control.

  Suddenly, his weight was gone from her body. She waited for his next move, but nothing happened. Too uncomfortable just to lie there exposed, she rolled onto her side and sat up. He stood at the foot of the bed, fiddling with the large Initiation dildo. The muscles in her vagina tightened. It was time. The next step. Or the first actually. He’d gotten her all worked up, now he intended to fuck her with that monster.

  The thing looked huge. Eight, nine inches. She didn’t know. She never was any good at measurements. Maybe it was only seven. She reached for the sheet to cover herself.

  “Leave it,” he ordered without looking up.

  The flannel slipped from her fingers. Even though she’d complied, she wasn’t sure she liked the way he kept issuing commands.

  After the Initiation was over, things were going to change. She wondered how he’d feel about getting his ass spanked. She snorted. With Braden’s unpredictability, he’d probably get off on it.

  If she were honest with herself, his control of her, and the sharp smacks to her butt, had soaked her vagina. A secret pleasure she’d never admitted to with any other man. One hand eased down to touch the skin, which still felt a little warm. She actually wouldn’t mind him doing it again, once her ass cooled off.

  She suddenly realized that she had no idea what they expected of her, after the Initiation. Would they want her to produce children continually? If so, no way.

  After all this was over, if she decided that she wanted nothing more to do with these people, she would just leave. Disappear. And she’d have some decadent memories to keep her warm at night. Except she had a real connection now, and not only with Braden. Could she really leave?

  He looked up, dildo in hand. “Ready?”

  After a moment of hesitation, she nodded.

  “Good.” Braden moved to the side of the bed closest to her and held the object at an angle. “Lick it.”

  “What?” That wasn’t what she expected. Once more, he’d surprised her. A common occurrence it seemed. She’d have to stop trying to analyze what he might do next, because nothing he did was in her realm of normalcy.

  “Lick it like you would my cock.”

  His cock. The thought of tasting him heated her blood. She’d never had her lips around a man’s penis. Plain old, boring missionary position was all she’d ever experienced up to this point. Well, there was that one guy who gave her a quick lick between the legs while she was in a doggy position, then came all over himself. She didn’t figure that counted. There were so many sexual things she’d never tried. But all this seemed terribly out of order. “You haven’t even kissed me yet. Do you realize that?”

  He smiled and lowered his head to hers. His mouth gently brushed hers, then he pulled back.

  Frustration built and spread. She was about ready to tackle the man. “I’m not made of glass, you know. Not my lips, not my ass, and not my…” She waved her hand toward her breasts.

  “They’re nipples, Alexa.” His lips quirked.

  “I know that.” What did he think? Maybe she wasn’t some sex queen, but she wasn’t a porcelain doll either. “I want to experience everything…with you.”

  “Everything?”

  “Yes.”

  He dropped the dildo on the bed and pulled her tight, crushing her breasts against his chest. His fingers tangled in her hair, and he covered her mouth with his, forcing her lips apart with his tongue.

  She didn’t resist. Her tongue dueled with his. Sliding, tasting, exploring. He reminded her of molten fire and pure sin. She pressed closer, aggravated that he was still fully dressed. It wasn’t fair. She reached around and pulled the shirt from his pants, needing to touch his bare flesh.

  Abruptly, he broke the kiss and staggered back a step. He stuffed his shirt back in place. “Don’t do that again,” he grumbled.

  What? Don’t? She froze, completely stunned.

  “I’m sorry.” The harsh lines on his face softened. “It’s just that we have to complete the ceremony first or we’ll never get to it. You’re too damn sexy. I’ll lose control and all sense of time.”

  Alexa couldn’t believe his words. Not coming from someone as sinfully handsome and obviously experienced as he. The confession made her feel powerful, more confidant, and still feminine at the same time.

  He reached for the dildo. “Now, let’s get on with it, while I’m halfway sane. Lick it.”

  “I’ve never…”

  He stroked her hair, then cupped the back of her head. His eyes filled with understanding. “That’s okay. Tonight will be a first for many things.” He drew her head down to within an inch of the object.

  Her tongue darted out and touched the fat tip. Some substance stuck to her tongue. It tasted slightly salty, slightly sour. She licked around the tip, down the underside, and back up again until she’d covered the entire length.

  A near groan escaped Braden. His fingers tightened in her hair. “Very good. Now I want to watch you suck it.”

  * * * * *

  Kam’s head snapped up. “The detector’s working. And there’s trouble. Two more. Definitely Egesa this time. In the kitchen.”

  “Damn.” Erik glanced outside. With the approaching storm, the sun had faded earlier than usual. And now the creatures were coming out. He headed for the door. “Leila, stay put. Kam, you up to helping?”

  He stood, staggered, and plopped back down. “Not yet. Sorry. You want to call in reinforcements?”

  “If there’s only two, I can handle it.”

  “Be careful,” Leila said, her voice soft and full of concern.

  Erik hesitated, ready to spit out a quick retort. Instead, he came back and brushed her cheek with his fingertips. She cared too much about people. One of these days, that selflessness was going to get her into trouble. He drowned a moment in her concerned eyes, then turned and left the room.

  * * * * *

  Alexa pulled back. She’d completely covered the dildo, which gleamed from her mouth’s wetness. She hadn’t thought she could take its length down her throat without gagging. But after a couple of attempts and Braden’s direction, she managed several inches.

  He handed the dildo to her, then stepped back to the foot of the bed. He crossed his arms over his chest. “Okay. Insert it into your pussy. Make sure you’re wet first.”

  Alexa’s jaw dropped. “Excuse me?” Certainly, he didn’t mean that like it sounded. “You want me to do it?”

  “Yes.”

  “No.” The idea of him standing there watching and giving ‘stick Tab A into Slot B’ instructions was not happening. It was one thing while she was sucking. This was quite another.

  His hands dropped to his sides, and his eyes filled with something she couldn’t identify. She didn’t care. She wanted him involved in this. Not just an observer. She wasn’t some odd science experiment. She wanted to feel the heat of Braden’s body, his sexual power.

  Slowly, he approached her. She could almost see his mind working overtime, trying to figure out what to do.

  “You’re pushing me on purpose, I think.”

  Was she? Seemed to her that he
was the one pushing.

  “Get up on your knees.” Instead of waiting for her to comply, he clutched her arms and pulled her up.

  Oh, my. His strength gave her pause, but excited her at the same time.

  He reached between her thighs. She expected him to touch her intimately and held her breath, waiting for the contact. But then, Braden never did the expected. He rolled his fingers along the inside of her thighs, in the wetness there.

  Raising his hand, he studied the sticky moisture on his fingers. He brought his hand to his nose and inhaled deeply of her scent. Slowly, he licked his fingers clean.

  She stared, unable to speak. Sweat from a hot flash trickled between her breasts. Then she shivered when a chill hit her.

  Braden gently wrapped his hand around hers. Both of them now held the dildo. “Together?”

  The tenderness he put into that one word threw her off balance. She nodded, unable to do or say anything more.

  Slowly, they inserted the dildo into her, one thick inch at a time.

  * * * * *

  Erik stepped inside the kitchen. Empty. He opened the back door. Nothing. The Egesa couldn’t have gotten by him. Unless… Maybe Leila hadn’t locked the front door after she’d retrieved the woman’s disruptor and transport-connector. The creatures could have circled around the back and then entered the front after he’d already passed.

  He rushed into the living room. Nothing. He tried the front door. Nope. Locked. He headed down the hall. The bathroom was empty. He paused at Alexa’s bedroom door and listened. He heard a few murmurs. Nothing strange. He continued to the guestroom. “There’s no one here.”

  Kam’s eyes narrowed. “They’re here. The detector is showing their presence.”

  “Maybe in Alexa’s room?” Leila suggested.

  “I didn’t hear anything unusual coming from in there.”

  Kam shook his head. “Egesa are here in the house. Somewhere. Given all the electrical current shooting around this thing, maybe there’s a glitch in the locator. Let me fiddle with it a little.”

  “I searched the whole damn place.”

  A silent moment passed, then Leila and Erik looked at each other at the same time. “Master bath,” they said in unison.

  Kam looked up. “That could be it. That must be it.”

  “Are you sure?” Leila asked. “You need to be sure.”

  His brow furrowed. “No, I’m not sure.”

  “We need to alert Braden.” She looked to Erik as if seeking confirmation. After Braden, he was ranking Warrior down here.

  He wasn’t sure what to do. If Kam was wrong…

  Kam shook his head. “We shouldn’t interrupt, unless we’re certain. Alexa might bolt. I don’t want to disrupt the Initiation. I just need a few more moments to make some adjustments to the settings. Then I can probably get you an exact location, down to the foot.”

  Erik pulled out his transport-connector. He couldn’t wait. Alexa and Braden might not have a few moments. “I’ll materialize into the master bath and check it out, discreetly.”

  Before anyone could protest his idea, or offer an alternate plan, he was gone.

  * * * * *

  “Relax.” Braden brushed Alexa’s hand off the dildo and worked it in another inch himself. He thought she’d feel more comfortable inserting the object herself, but had misread her. That was okay. He’d rather participate than watch anyhow. He nuzzled her neck and licked at the sensitive skin there.

  Her whole body purred and seemed to relax.

  Given her history and his experimentation, he was piecing her needs together as fast as he could. To ensure her continued climb toward orgasm, he knew he needed to keep surprising her. Not let her get too comfortable or complacent. He cupped her breast and rubbed his thumb roughly across the nipple. The callus on his thumb tip caught and sandpapered across her skin.

  She shuddered and grabbed at his shoulders. Her eyes closed, and a sigh escaped her lips.

  Amazement flowed through him as he watched her response. She’d obviously denied herself so much sexually. Probably things she had never even known she craved. His fingers rolled and tugged at the nipple. She bit her bottom lip and the dildo pushed back against his hand as her internal muscles clenched in response. Good. He’d give her all the stimulation she could take.

  He had to bring her to orgasm, so the fluid would inject and absorb into her body. The first time would be the hardest. After that, she’d know she could climax and would be more relaxed during the rest of the Initiation. In one smooth move, he pushed the length of the dildo home.

  “Oh!” Alexa tensed. He’d completely inserted the glass-like cock. It filled every ounce of space inside her.

  “Feel good?”

  She gulped and nodded. The thing was pulsing! Not a lot, but enough to make her inner muscles quiver.

  He helped her down onto her back, easing a pillow under her hips at the same time. He was so careful with her that her heart melted. He flipped some sort of switch, and a light vibration started between her legs. Ooo, yes!

  “I can’t wait any longer, Alexa. I have to taste you. And not on my fingers.” He spread her vagina wide, bent over, and touched her clit with his tongue.

  “Ah! Oh.” Her hips bucked and pleasure speared through her. The warm, wet sensation was like nothing she’d ever felt. This wasn’t a quick lick, but a total sensual assault. His slightly roughened tongue slid over her bud of nerves until she sobbed from the intensity. He varied his licks, driving her right toward the edge. As his tongue moved, she realized he was spelling out something on her clit. Over and over. B…r…a…d…e…n…s. Braden’s.

  Alexa swallowed hard and rode the rising waves of pleasure. She felt branded, possessed, and totally at this man’s mercy.

  * * * * *

  Erik materialized inside the master bathroom. Two Egesa were crouched at the door, staring into the bedroom. Weapons drawn. They looked back at him, then materialized out before he could draw his disruptor.

  “Shit.” He had the worst luck. But at least the creatures were gone. This had been a rotten decision on Braden’s part. He should have initiated Alexa on the ship, no matter her feelings. They would have been safer. Relocation wasn’t an option now, so they’d just have to deal with whatever came along.

  He peered out the bathroom door to make sure the two of them hadn’t been hurt. He had to stand a little inside the room to see the bed.

  The only thing in their favor right now was the Egesa’s determination to take Alexa alive. Otherwise, they could have killed her numerous times already. Braden was lucky his own ass hadn’t been fried. The man didn’t have on his shield coat or jacket. Another moment and the creatures probably would have disintegrated him.

  Damn. What a view. Alexa lay on her back with a pillow raising her hips. Her back arched, her breasts thrust up, and Braden was tugging on one nipple with his fingers.

  Erik’s eyes traveled down to lock on Braden’s tongue as he licked Alexa’s pussy. The smell of sex wafted through the air, exciting his senses. A low growl escaped him. He and Kam should be in on this. No one initiated alone.

  His cock twitched when Braden curled his fingers around the dildo and slowly began to pump it inside her.

  Alexa’s back arched even more. Her hips jerked. Man, she was responsive. And so beautiful. Her head turned toward him, and he couldn’t move away in time. Their eyes locked.

  He heard her sharp intake of breath, even from where he stood. Shit.

  Braden’s head jerked up. His eyes narrowed.

  Erik knew he’d better get out of there. Braden felt differently about this woman than others. Right as he was about to step away, Alexa pushed Braden’s head back down.

  “Don’t stop, Braden.” Then in a barely audible voice, which Erik wasn’t even sure he heard correctly, she added, “With him here watching, it’s…nasty.”

  Braden’s eyes widened. He looked at her face, then back toward him. Erik’s knees locked, not believing this.
<
br />   Braden lowered his head and lapped wildly at her cunt.

  She bucked and moaned, clutching at his head, spreading her legs wider. “Yes, more, more.”

  Erik’s eyes snapped to hers. Her heavy-lidded gaze traveled down his body, hesitating at his cock. She sucked a finger into her mouth, moving it slowly in and out. Damn. He shifted, his pants growing tight.

  She was getting off on him watching and growing excited. Well, well, well. Alexa wasn’t so vanilla after all.

  Or…nasty was Braden’s word. They were as close as brothers; he knew the man almost as well as he knew himself. Maybe Alexa really wasn’t doing this for herself, but for Braden. A lump caught in his throat at the thought.

  He rubbed his aching cock, trying to get a little relief. Just how nasty was Alexa willing to get in her desire to please Braden? Possibilities flashed through his mind, and he almost came right there in his pants.

  Daegal adjusted the picture on the closest monitor of a wall filled with screens. Was he seeing correctly? He zoomed in for a closer look. “Well, this is a surprise.” He chuckled.

  Gabriella, his mate, shifted on his lap. Her hand caressed his chest in lazy circles. “I thought you said Braden had a possessive streak toward Alexa. Why’s he letting Erik watch him fuck her?”

  “I don’t know. But it’ll work in our favor. The Egesa took care of their part. Everything’s set. And I’ve gotten in a preliminary report from the woman we sent. We’ll be able to get this show on the road real soon now.”

  “What road?”

  “It’s an Earth expression. I heard it on one of their television broadcasts.” He flipped a button, opening his private moon-to-ship transmission channel. “Send the two specially-selected assassins to the breeder’s home. Take out the lone male Warrior not participating in the Initiation. They can do what they want with the Healer, as long as they make sure she can’t cause us any trouble.”

  “Why don’t you just destroy them all and take Alexa?”
