Alcandian Rage

by Mary Wine

  She saw that now. Noticed the honor that made up both warriors. It would drive her insane from time to time but tonight she would let them treat her like their mate.

  Her skin grew hot as Ravid joined Keenan in disrobing. Ravid was more blunt in his motions. Raw desire spilled from his eyes as he lingered over her nipples. Zeva felt her passage flooding as she watched his eyes latch onto her nipples.

  Ravid stopped before entering the bed and thrust one huge arm out to stop Keenan. His dark eyes moved over her nude body before he lifted them to her face. “Do you intend to bind with us, Zeva?”

  Her pride didn’t even bother to raise a protest. Her body needed them so much that the details of their lives would have to wait until desire had been fed. “Yes. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to obey you. I’m not giving up my studio.”

  Twin smiles appeared on both warriors’ faces as Zeva frowned. There was a little too much self-satisfaction in those expressions. Ravid fell on her in a second, making her gasp. His body weight didn’t even hit her before he was rolling across the bed and taking her with him. “Enough talk.”

  Keenan hit the bed as Ravid rolled back over her and cupped one of her breasts. “Agreed.” Zeva arched her back so that her breast pressed against Keenan’s palm. Pleasure moved down her body to the twisting ache forming in her passage. Ravid moved down her body laying a row of kisses as he went. Keenan’s arm moved to her opposite breast and cupped it, forming a barrier with his arm that pressed her back to the bed. It was a light hold but one that could so quickly become strong.

  Ravid pushed her thighs open with his body as he lingered over her bare mons. He took a deep breath before opening his eyes to look at hers. “Aye, ruthima, I confess I enjoy the communication of the flesh far better than words.”

  Because he would win! Zeva surged up from the bed but Keenan pressed her back down. He leaned forward and caught a nipple with his lips. Zeva gasped as heat spiked through her breast and across to its twin. The other nipple tightened even further, begging for Keenan’s hot mouth on it.

  Ravid watched his companion with hungry eyes before he pushed her thighs wide. His breath hit her bare sex a second before he trailed his tongue along her open slit.

  Climax took her that simply. Pleasure rippled through her sheath and up her spine. Ravid gently rubbed her clit as he watched her face. The pleasure left behind a deep hunger. Her passage ached to be full. She could feel the empty space inside her and it made her desperate. The desire filling her head from both warriors twisted and combined until nothing made any sense but the need to mate.

  Keenan lifted his head and stared into her eyes. It was like looking into a mirror. His desire blazed as brightly as hers and Zeva reached for one of the hard cocks she craved. Keenan’s eyes narrowed to slits as his breath hissed between his clenched teeth. She stroked the head before tightening her fingers around his length.

  But it wasn’t what she wanted. She wanted that cock thrusting deep inside her. Ravid pushed a single finger into her passage and she moaned with need. Her emotion shot across into both her mates and Ravid looked up her body with hard eyes. There was nothing playful about that look. It was completely male and Zeva looked to her side to find Keenan’s eyes blazing as well.

  She lifted her hand towards Ravid. He didn’t disappoint her. Her pushed back onto his haunches and lifted her hips. One second she was poised on the tip of his cock before he pulled her onto it. Her passage eagerly grasped him as Zeva sat up and held onto his shoulders.

  Keenan moved up behind her as Ravid lifted her and let her slam back down his length. He growled as she moaned but a soft cry hit the night as Keenan pulled the checks of her bottom apart. Ravid held her steady as Keenan applied a smooth lubricant to her back entrance.

  Zeva wanted it. She needed both of them and she tightened her hands on Ravid’s shoulders as Keenan’s cock nudged her back entrance. The anal plug they had stretched her bottom with, left her relaxed for Keenan. His cock pressed forward and held as the head penetrated her body.

  “I crave it too, Zeva.” Keenan’s voice was every bit as rough as Ravid’s normally was. His hands pulled her bottom open wider as he pulled his cock from her and then thrust deeper into her. “The three of us together. Take me, shihori, let me fill you.”

  “Yes.” Her voice was a firm demand. Zeva curled her fingers into Ravid’s shoulders and he hissed. Keenan pressed deeper into her as Ravid lifted her off his cock. A moan escaped her as Keenan thrust completely into her bottom. Her back passage ached as Zeva struggled to relax. Keenan pulled free and Ravid thrust deeply into her.

  The sensation was amazing. Zeva couldn’t stop the little moans that rose from her. Ravid lifted her off his cock and Keenan thrust deeply into her bottom and then Keenan pulled his cock free and Ravid thrust deeply into her. They worked her body without granting her the one thing she craved the most.

  “Together!” She hit Ravid’s shoulder as she tried to push her hips down onto his cock. Climax shimmered just out of reach, tormenting her with its image, so close yet impossible to reach on her own.

  “Yes, Zeva, you will take us both!” Ravid pulled her onto his cock as Keenan thrust deeply into her bottom. She was filled completely, and shuddered as they worked their hard cocks in and out of her. Pleasure shot through every nerve she had as her clit throbbed and Ravid thrust harder into her tight passage. Keenan’s hips slapped against her bottom as he drove every last millimeter of his cock into her.

  Zeva didn’t know who came first. Their minds bridged completely and pleasure reflected off each other’s pleasure. There wasn’t one body…there were three and Zeva found herself dragged into the vortex of swirling, mind-blowing pleasure. Nothing existed outside of that moment, only the three of them bound together and the pleasure that awaited true intimacy.

  Both cocks pumped into her body as her passage clamped around them and tried to milk them. Her womb twisted as it caught the hot splash of seed and her head fell back against Keenan’s shoulder as she clung to Ravid’s shoulders.

  Their hands smoothed over her skin as her fingers traced the harder ridges of masculine chests. Zeva let her eyes slide shut as they let their bodies drop to the surface of the bed.

  Their bed.

  Chapter Nine

  “I have a gift for you.” Keenan stroked her hip as Zeva tried to dig up enough strength to open her eyes. Ravid was behind her, his hard body cradling hers and all she wanted to do was have Keenan join their embrace.

  Everything else could just wait…wait until she savored each moment of this night. Thinking about a gift meant she had to decide if she wanted to accept it from Keenan and that would bring up tomorrow’s pressing issue of binding.

  It was so much better to just escape into the delight of being next to both men without the complication of reality. Zeva lifted her arms towards Keenan. The warrior shook his head and Ravid moved. His hands lifted her from the bed as he sat up and let her lean against his body.

  Zeva’s brain instantly struggled to burn off her slumber. Once again the two were working like a perfectly matched team. One luring her into relaxing as the other maneuvered her into compliance.

  “Keenan…”

  Keenan’s hand covered her lips as Ravid’s arms clasped around her hips to keep her in place. “You will like our gift, Zeva.” The guarded look on Keenan’s face didn’t make her believe his words. He offered her a small communications terminal. The silver rectangle displayed a document that her eyes scanned.

  “It is a new studio.” Ravid’s voice was low as she flipped to the next page of a lease agreement. “This is on Judgment grounds and larger than your current one.”

  “You will need the room, we don’t have a female training studio nearby. Once Greer and the others get to talking, every Judgment father in our community will be presenting his daughters for your instruction.”

  Seconds crawled by like days as Keenan waited. Ravid shot him a look over Zeva’s shoulder as they waited for her t
o finish reading. Her eyes rounded as she found the termination of her current lease agreement. Her lips thinned as she took a deep breath.

  “You should have asked me before doing this.” Zeva’s words sounded too happy for her own pride. She looked at Keenan and shook her head. “Even Judgment officials should learn to discuss things with their mates.”

  Ravid’s arms tightened around her making her gasp. Keenan’s face broke into a grin as he pressed a hard kiss onto her mouth. Zeva pulled her mouth away and glared at him. “Did you hear me?”

  “Aye!” Keenan plucked the terminal from her hand and tossed it onto the table before he clasped the sides of her face with his hands. “You said you will bind with me, mate.”

  “You did.” Ravid spoke against her throat as he trailed little kisses toward her bare shoulder. Zeva grumbled and held Keenan away from her with stiff hands.

  “I mean it! Discussion will happen in this chamber, if I must beat it into your stubborn, Judgment official heads!”

  Keenan bent her arms and kissed her. It was a kiss of demand but not harsh. Ravid’s arms moved over her in strokes that made her skin tingle with delight. Zeva melted against them as she kissed Keenan back.

  They could discuss things later.

  * * * * *

  “Awake Daughter! Get up Zeva.” Paneil held her arms wide to hold Milena and Elpida back. Her mother smiled as Zeva jumped from the bed and came up in a fighting stance. She blinked the sleep from her eyes as her mother turned to look at Elpida.

  “My daughter moves before her mind engages.” Elpida’s eyes were wide but glittering with enjoyment.

  “I will remember that, Paneil.” Elpida’s eyes slipped down Zeva’s bare body as Zeva relaxed and looked behind her. The bed was empty and it shimmered as the bedding disappeared and clean sheets arrived on the bed.

  “Our sons are below and it is time to dress.”

  The doorway curtain moved as Amin entered the room. Zeva groaned. Alcandian binding day, it meant the entire female side of the family got to see you naked. She moved toward the bathing pool as the chamber filled with chatter. A silly smile covered her lips as she surrendered to the bathing help. Her face turned red as the women began discussing sexual technique. Sweet Amin shocked her the most.

  “If Ravid is like his brother, he will like his seed sac squeezed as he comes. Make sure you use your whole hand and close your fingers all the way around it.”

  Amin laughed and pointed at Zeva. “If you could only see your face!”

  Zeva didn’t need to see it, her cheeks burned with a blush as she was groomed and dressed for her binding ceremony. Her binding robes were dark blue and shimmered with silver. Paneil proudly brushed out her hair that hung down her back.

  The hall below would be full of her family and Judgment families. Zeva listened to the growing conversations drifting up and over the half wall that formed the inner wall of their chamber. The fact that today marked her complete journey into the secluded life of Ravid and Keenan’s world didn’t bother her. She couldn’t walk away without tearing her heart from her chest. Neither could her intended mates. She grimaced slightly as she looked across the chamber at the new lease they had procured for her. It had cost the two warriors quite a sum to move her studio. But it was a working solution and she had to smile at the idea. The new studio lay just a hundred feet onto Judgment grounds. Her current students could cross to the studio and she would not be breaking Ravid and Keenan’s requirement that she stay on protected grounds. But she wouldn’t be hiding either. Zeva smiled and turned to face the waiting binding party.

  “I am ready.”

  Her mother and mothers-in-law–to-be proudly led her down the walkway to her mates. Two Judgment officials stood waiting for her with their wide chests covered with the maroon uniform that clearly displayed to the population their dedication to duty. Pride lifted her chin as she saw them waiting for her.

  Zeva lost interest in the words as Ravid and Keenan stole her attention. They were every inch warriors. Contained in those words was so much more than her childhood had taught her.

  And if she was lucky, a lifetime together would be just as informative!

  * * * * *

  “Leave me be, Ravid, I am hungry.” Zeva glared at her mate as she shot a second heated look at Keenan. “I am going to enjoy this meal with our guests and you can just wait.”

  Ravid growled and Keenan echoed the sound but Zeva sat down at the table waiting for her and refused to retire with them. Bound a whole ten minutes and they already made demands.

  “Daughter, enjoy your meal.” Paneil moved up onto the raised dais that the binding mates’ table sat on. The hall was full of maroon-clad officials and their mates. Food passed freely down the tables as laughter filled the air. Her mother’s eyes sparkled with mischief as she looked at her new sons-in-law. “I claim the right of inspection.”

  The hall fell silent for one moment before it erupted into a cheer. Ravid and Keenan both flushed before their mothers appeared to lead them away. Paneil winked at Zeva before she took her time following. Ravid shot her a furious look and Zeva laughed at his fury. She sat down and lifted an eating utensil in response and Elpida pulled her son around the corner.

  “I think I missed something.”

  Zeva gasped and turned to find Cole Somerton leaning against the dais. He winked at her before jumping up onto the platform with her. Zeva stood up to offer the human a hug. “All you missed was the stubborn ignorance that often surrounds binding fever. Trying to make sense of it leads to foolishness on both sides. As you say on Earth, ‘Don’t ask me how I know’.”

  “I see.” Cole’s face said he didn’t understand but he slipped his eyes down her body and back up again. “You look good, Zeva.”

  “It’s good to be home.” And it was a relief to see the human standing on Alcandian soil. There was another little thing that Helmut and Craddock had shown her. Honor wasn’t contained in the Alcandian genetic code. It was something that was either bred in the soul or not. Cole Somerton was a warrior and she was proud to share her homeworld with him.

  “Welcome home, Cole, I’m proud to have you joined to my family.”

  Zeva sat down and offered an empty chair to Cole. He dropped into it as Jett took the one on the other side of Zeva. Home? He didn’t know about that but it sure beat being a fugitive on Earth. The future was a thick swirling mass of uncertainty.

  But tonight there was family and that wasn’t bound by a person’s birth planet…even if York wanted it to be.

  “You took your time.”

  Zeva smiled at Ravid as she balanced a tray of food on her forearm. Keenan lifted it away and pulled a piece of meat from it. He stuffed it in his mouth as he glared at Zeva for making them wait.

  “You have no one to blame but yourselves. I think my mother likes you both.” Keenan snarled through another bite of food and Zeva squealed as Ravid plucked her off the ground. It was easy to forget how much larger the warrior was than her. Yet he never hurt her and that was what allowed him to make her cry like a little girl when he lifted her like one. Trust. More than body, she trusted them both with her heart. Zeva caught his head between her hands and smiled down into his dark eyes. “I love you too.”

  Keenan pointed at her. “If I didn’t love you, Zeva, I would have tossed your mother into our bathing pool. She enjoyed inspecting us.”

  “A little too much,” Ravid snarled as Zeva kissed his lips.

  “You had it coming.” Zeva lifted a bit of food toward Ravid and pushed it against his lips to keep the warrior from muttering against her mother again. “You cannot deny it. One inspection deserves another.”

  Love wasn’t dictated by any one tradition. It flowed through time and space surrounding male and female. The only rule was obedience and the chosen ones never argued with their fate.

  I write to reassure myself that reality really is survivable. Between traffic jams and c
hildren’s sporting schedules, there is romance lurking for anyone with the imagination to find it.

  I spend my days making corsets and petticoats as a historical costumer. If you send me an invitation marked formal dress, you’d better give a date or I just might show up wearing my bustle.

  I love to read a good romance and with the completion of my first novel, I’ve discovered I am addicted to writing these stories as well.
