Sabotaged Desires

by Rebecca Airies

  Susanne almost smiled, but the anger toward Robert burned away the urge. One message and he’d decided she’d betrayed them. If he’d asked anything or let her talk, he’d know she hadn’t done anything wrong. A few of the nasty remarks he’d made had been enough to give her the gist of what had been in it as well as what had been implied. It irritated her that all of this could have been avoided with one simple question: Who is your uncle? After hearing the answer, he’d know the truth. Her uncle’s reputation was that widely known.

  “Someone who’d use the power of a relative to gain position and status really doesn’t deserve the chance to explain.” Robert walked with David, but he clearly wasn’t happy.

  “Sit and try to listen without being judgmental.” David gave Robert a nudge toward the bed.

  David was so good at handling Robert, while she felt a little lost in that aspect. Then again, David didn’t seem to have a problem dealing with anyone. Maybe it was something to do with his training as a physician or perhaps that was just his personality.

  “Since you read the letter, why aren’t you angry?” Robert sat on the bed, but he chose a spot as far from her as he could and still be on the bed.

  “Because I thought before I reacted to that inflammatory message. On top of that, this isn’t new to me. My brothers somehow managed to develop completely opposite personalities and fought almost every time they saw each other.” David walked over to stand near Susanne. “I also realized that that message could have just as easily been about me.”

  “What do you mean it could have been about you?” Suz frowned. Did he mean that he also had someone influential in his family, or was there something else in the message that could apply to him?

  “I mean that my family might not be powerful, but my father has a couple of powerful friends. If your friend had sent that message about me, would you react as strongly as you have to her? Or is it simply because you were fucking her, maybe beginning to have feelings for her?” David raised an eyebrow as he looked over at Robert.

  “It wasn’t about you, so I don’t know. As for my reaction, there’s nothing to think about. Everything in that note was clear.” Robert shook his head.

  “The one fact in the message may have been true, but that doesn’t mean that it was all true. You never asked me a single question. Even when we’re in this room and won’t get out without some type of resolution, you sit there in judgment with only one side of the story.” She rolled to the side of the bed and stood.

  Anger pounded through her. Her heartbeat raced and she knew that her face was probably red. She tried to calm down. David put a hand on her arm. His fingers squeezed. When she looked over at him, she saw him smile. She appreciated the support.

  “You expect me to believe that you’re innocent?” He raised a brow and the sneer on his lips clearly conveyed doubt and distaste.

  As she stared at Robert, her own anger surged forward. Why the hell had he jumped to this conclusion? And why was it so black and white? She was either guilty or innocent. There had to be more than anger behind this.

  Her control snapped. This tantrum had gone on long enough. While she understood his initial reaction, she shouldn’t let him continue, even if she had to tie him down and gag him. Something had happened in his past, but she wouldn’t let that deter her. Emotion pushed energy through her clearing away the remaining sleepiness. She rounded the bed and stood in front of him.

  “I know I’m not the type of woman you would choose and you’re the last man I’d pick. That’s fine. But if you want answers, if you plan to get out of this damn box anytime soon, you’ll have to ask me the questions. After everything you’ve done, I won’t volunteer any information.”

  Both Robert and David looked at her as if they were stunned for a moment. Alright, maybe they had a reason for that. She might not have responded much to any of his baiting earlier, but his continued stubbornness, even when they were in a situation where they had to find a way to fix their problems, infuriated her.

  David grinned. “He does take an adjustment to your thinking, doesn’t he? Such a sweet personality, too.”

  “What? You’re not going to tell her to sit down and listen?” Robert scowled.

  “I’m surprised she hasn’t snapped at you before.” David rounded the bed and stopped next to her. “I don’t think he’s ready to ask any questions, yet. Not the polite way.”

  “We may be in the room for a long while.” She shook her head and sighed.

  The thought of staying in here depressed her a little. It wasn’t the drab color or the utilitarian and minimal furnishings. The color on the walls carried throughout the entire ship. It was the thought of being trapped down here for days on end trying to get through to him that frustrated her. Even though she knew this was a necessary step, she dreaded the fights and accusations.

  Robert needed to think about how he acted and what he had come to believe. Without some type of intervention, she doubted he’d ever take the time to wonder and ask about any of it. If he did, he’d demand an answer rather than pose a few polite questions.

  “Well, Suz, perhaps we should give him a little inducement to start thinking and coming up with the right questions.” David curled his arm around her. “Maybe give him a little incentive to remember how good things were between us before he went crazy.”

  Chapter Two

  Susanne looked up at him and blinked. The light tone of voice and the glitter in his eyes caught her attention. It had been a while since they’d played. Before Robert had received the message in fact. She craved the feel of David’s arms around her again.

  “With all the tension, it’s been too long since I’ve felt you holding me tight. I’m sorry you were stuck in the middle of this situation.” She combed her fingers through his blond hair.

  “Suz, not your fault. If he’d simply sat down with you, showed you the message and asked a question in a civil manner, this wouldn’t have happened. You tried to explain. Now, stop thinking about that and help me give him something to watch.” He drew back and gave her a wicked smile.

  She took a deep breath, let herself relax and follow his lead. “Tell me one of your fantasies, and let’s make it come as true as we can in this room.”

  “This situation is already close to one of them.” He guided her around the bed. “I’ve got you and Robert and a possible audience.”

  “Um, that sounds fun, but tell me more about it.” She stopped and turned at the edge of the bed. Her hands lifted and stroked over his shoulders.

  “I plan to strip you naked and spread you out on this bed. There are cameras in this room. What do you think of someone watching as I tease this pretty pussy or suck at one of these gorgeous breasts.” His voice lowered a little below his normal tone, but sounded breathier.

  As he eased closer, his lips brushed over her temple. His hand cupped her pussy through the thin lounge pants. Her tongue slicked over her lips. Slick juices eased from her pussy and dampened her pants. The dirty talk always made her so hot. He knew that. The man shamelessly took advantage of it.

  “I say let them watch, and if they’re smart, they’ll take notes.” She pulled her shirt over her head. The light blue fabric fluttered to the ground.

  A smile curved his lips. He laughed and leaned in close. His tongue traced over her neck. She tilted her head, willing to let him play for a while before she called on him to follow through with his fantasy.

  “Damn it! Intimate moment, give us some privacy. I don’t want anyone seeing either of you in a private moment.” Robert straightened and glanced up at the ceiling.

  “Relax, Robert. You know as well as I do that at the first sign of any nudity between us, they’ll cut off the recording. We have to go over and contact them to get it started again. They don’t have any intention to intrude any more than you’d like them to watch.” David shook his head. “You do know how to kill a mood.”

  “He hasn’t killed my mood. We still have an audience, even if it is only one
person.” Suz cupped his cheek before she urged his head upward for a kiss.

  He nibbled her lips. “Yes, and even if seeing us makes him burn, he has to sit there and watch. He doesn’t get to play until he comes up with the right questions.”

  She let her hands drift over his shoulders and down his chest. The warmth of his skin drew her to explore even more. She leaned closer. Her cheek brushed against his chest as she nuzzled and teased. His scent filled her, the slightly woodsy trace exhilarating. She loved it and didn’t know if the fragrance came from some type of wash or light cologne, but he always smelled wonderful.

  “Um, but you know he likes to watch. Do you remember the first time he watched? He sat naked in that chair, his hand slowly stroking his cock as you and I fucked on the bed.” She slowly drew her hands over his ribs down to his stomach. The muscles rippled and flexed as she continued her downward path.

  She hooked her fingers beneath the waistband. Those pants had to come off. Although they were loose, they were in the way. She much preferred the tighter pants he wore normally. They molded to the tight ass she enjoyed watching, not to mention grabbing when they had sex.

  “I remember, but I also remember how desperate he was afterward. I think it might give him a reason to adjust his thinking.” David’s hands cupped underneath the full curves of her breasts, lifting them.

  “Um, then let’s give him something to watch.” She pushed the loose fitting bottoms down his thighs.

  “My eager woman, we definitely will.” David lifted her and put her on the bed.

  He pulled her lounge pants off in a smooth move. She giggled and enjoyed the moment, forcing her mind away from the problems waiting for them. He stepped back, took off his pants and grinned down at her. Hunger burned in his green eyes. She longed to see them darken as pleasure ripped through him. Her eyes trailed down his muscled chest, past his flat abdomen to the hard thighs and stopped at his erect, thick cock.

  “I’m going to suck these red nipples. Play with the other one and show Robert how you like to be touched.” He leaned down and drew his tongue across her nipple. “Then when you’re hot and writhing, I’ll slide my cock into your pussy and fuck you until your panting and moaning.”

  He never had a problem making her moan. She’d never thought of herself as noisy during sex until David and Robert. With those two men, she became wild.

  “Then you need to get started. I can’t wait to feel you sucking at my nipple.” Susanne wiggled on the bed, parting her thighs in invitation. Her stomach tightened with arousal.

  He crawled onto the bed. As he moved up her body, he dropped kisses on her stomach. She wriggled and put her hands on his shoulders trying to guide him up to one of her breasts.

  He chuckled and took his time. One of his legs eased between hers. The ridge of his cock pressed against her thigh. She arched, rubbing against him. His tongue swiped across her ribs. Damn tease. If he talked about sucking her nipples, he should follow through.

  “Impatient. I would have gotten to the good part.” He nuzzled the underside of her breast. “I thought we should give Robert’s mind time to think about everything he was missing out on.”

  “Better to show him.” She sighed with satisfaction as he licked his way up her breast. Better for all of them.

  David hummed as his lips closed over her tight nipple. She slowly drew her other hand up her midriff. The thought of Robert watching and getting aroused sent a burning flood of hunger through her. Her fingers trailed across the slope of the neglected breast. She flicked her fingers over the taut bud, before she tugged at it. The urge to look over and see if he seemed affected by watching them pushed at her, but she focused on David.

  David’s tongue flicked over the tight peak. His tongue drawing over at the nub sent a rush of heat straight to her core. She arched into the touch, yearning for more. His mouth firmed around the flesh. Her eyes nearly rolled back in her head as he began sucking.

  It happened every time. Arousal heightened and slick moisture eased from her pussy. Her inner muscles clenched and the emptiness left a frustrating ache. She hesitated for a moment torn between sliding her hand down between her thighs or continuing to tease her nipples. The thought of rubbing at her clit won out easily. Her hand began to ease downward.

  David’s fingers clasped her wrist and drew it up to her breast. “Not yet. Play here for a moment.”

  Her fingers closed around the hardened nipple, tugging gently. She arched upward and pressed the flesh harder against him. While his mouth worked at the peak, his hand tightened, pushing the mound more fully against his lips. His teeth scraped and teased. She moaned and clutched at his shoulder with her free hand.

  Her fingers tightened, kneading her breast before she pinched the nipple. Sharp sensation streaked through her, but she craved more than the feel of his lips and her fingers. He sucked hard, drawing her nipple deep into his mouth before releasing and stroking his tongue over the stiff bud.

  She trembled, wriggling and lifting against him. Her leg hooked over his. Frustration built with each pounding beat of her heart. She needed to taste his lips, kiss him and feel his body move over hers. A low moan tore from her lips.

  “That’s it, Suz. Give me a little more and I’ll fuck this pussy.” His hand left her breast and trailed down her stomach to trace the slick lips. “You want that, don’t you?”

  “Yes.” Her hips lifted against his hand.

  He bit down lightly on her nipple. She gasped, her body bowing as the slight sting turned into pleasure. Her mind locked on the deep ache building with her. She trembled and desperately tried to find that extra bit of sensation which would send her over the edge.

  He sucked at her nipple again, flicking his tongue across the peak. Her frustrated moan barely left her lips when he moved between her thighs. His lips left her breast and moved up her body to her neck.

  “Look at Robert, Suz.” David’s teeth scraped across the muscle where her shoulder joined her neck. “He’s not such a hard ass now, is he?”

  She turned her head and saw Robert’s eyes locked on them. His hand cupped over the ridge of his cock still confined in the shorts. She licked her lips. So sexy. She yearned to taste the precum that would be beaded at the head.

  David’s cock pressed forward, nudging at her entrance. His shaft pushed slowly into her. She gasped and lifted against him. Her inner muscles clenched around the thick length inside her. She dropped a kiss on his shoulder. The sight of Robert watching and the feel of David’s cock pressing deeper sent a surge of hunger straight through her. When David began to pump his hips, she clung to him. She felt torn between grabbing for the waiting pleasure and hoping to draw it out for as long as she could.

  She drew her lips across his cheek, desperate for more contact. As her mouth brushed across his, his tongue thrust forward. He kissed her hungrily as his strokes deepened. A piercing demand drove her to meet each stroke. She clutched at him eagerly, wanting to feel the force of his strokes pressing her down into the bed.

  “Always need you so much,” David murmured. The sound vibrated over her lips.

  “Harder, David.” She struggled to find the words as her body burned with desire.

  His hand slipped under her, lifting her hips as he thrust against her. Her nails sank into his shoulders. He thrust hard and his hips ground against her. The tightening sensation low in her belly burst. She shook and cried out as pleasure flooded over her.

  She clung to him as his continued thrusts extended the waves of sensation. He held her tighter as hunger drove him to move harder and faster. A harsh groan ripped through him and his cock plunged deep as he came.

  She relished the closeness and took delight in being near him again, even if the separation had been short. Her hands stroked over his back as tremors ran over his body. She drew in deep breaths, savoring the lingering sensation and the feeling of connection between them.

  “So damn intense. I never expected it to be this hot.” He nuzzled her neck and re
mained pressed close to her.

  She knew what he meant. She hadn’t expected the emotion and connections in an arranged relationship to be this strong either. When she’d signed up for this, she’d hoped for friendship and trust to grow with the men she’d been assigned to marry, but it had burst into so much more.

  “It was the same for me. I didn’t think we’d have this strong passion between us, much less how well we meshed. Well, until the last few days.” She heaved a big sigh as she remembered Robert’s accusations.

  Chapter Three

  Robert took a deep breath as he watched David and Suz. They were getting to him and it wasn’t the words they’d said. He couldn’t tear his eyes away from the way they relaxed in each other’s arms. A little envy flared within him. The anger still burned, but he’d missed the contact with her and David. He was honest enough to admit that it wasn’t all anger at her. There had been a distance between them all since he’d read that message.

  Although he didn’t doubt the information he’d been sent, they did have a point. He hadn’t asked anything or listened to her. The fury and betrayal left him with an urge to punish her and make her feel as hurt as he did, but it solved nothing. It had just reminded him so much of the experience with James Drake. That man, well, boy, had almost cost him everything.

  On top of that, they couldn’t leave this room until they worked out their problems. It was protocol and the rest of the crew wouldn’t break with that. Their lives and the future of the colony depended on everyone building strong relationships.

  “Are you ready to start talking?” David slowly pulled away from Suz, but his hands caressed her sides and thighs as he did. He seemed determined to extend their time together and kept stroking her as long as possible.

  Robert remembered feeling the exact same way. The last time he’d held her, he’d wrapped his arms around her and stayed in bed beside her until they fell asleep together. Waking up to find that message in his folder had been unpleasant, to put it mildly.
