Chapter Fifteen
As they wandered back to the ship, she wanted to stop at one last vendor to get some sweets for dessert tonight. Just as they finished up, three very large males stepped into their path and as she looked around, the entire lane cleared into a ghost town. All the vendors retreated back into their stores. The strangers looked like some sort of ape-men and since blasters weren’t allowed through security on the port they all had large machete-style blades on them and scowls on their faces as they looked at Zane, but it was the disgusting leers when they looked at her that really began to frighten her.
“Give us the female and we will let you live, Zornan., the largest beast man slurred out around big yellowed tusk-like teeth.
Zane pushed Sarah behind him and at the same time drew his short sword from his belt. “The female is my bond mate and not available. Step aside and I will let you live, Scutka scum.”
Two of the beasts snorted in laughter. The third rubbed his distended crotch and spit, “We don’t care if she’s your mother warrior, we’ll have our sport and get good coin for her on a pleasure slave ship.”
Zane tensed under Sarah’s hands on his back, he said over his shoulder to her, “Sarah, I’m going to have to fight them. If this looks like it’s not going in my favour you must run back to the ship. Do you remember the way?”
Sarah was really beginning to get scared now. That Zane thought he might not win against these brutes must mean that they were very dangerous warriors. She’d watched Rykken and Zane train for hours and was amazed at how skilled they both were.
“I won’t leave you here, Zane,” Sarah whispered to him over his shoulder.
The leader of the Scutka lunged forward at Zane just as he was about to look back at her. Zane shoved her a few feet back from them as he engaged the larger male. The other two seemed to be content to wait to see who came out on top as they stood aside with their swords drawn. They battled back and forth for some time. Sarah could barely breathe as both males landed several blows that left the other bloody. Finally when the large beast-man looked as though he was tiring, he swung out and Zane lunged at him impaling him on his sword. The grotesque male fell to the ground and his companions roared out and ran at Zane swords raised, the other two were obviously not as skilled as their leader as her bond mate was able to dispatch one right away and looked to be making short work of the other when Sarah noticed that the first Scutka was still alive.
She saw him reach behind his back and pull out a weapon as Zane was turned away from him, still fighting the last one. When she saw that it was a blaster, she screamed out, “Watch out, Zane!”
Sarah didn’t even think as she jumped in front of Zane as he killed the third beast and whirled around to see what she was yelling about. He turned just in time to see the Scutka shooting a blaster and Sarah diving in front of it to save him from getting shot in the back.
All Sarah felt was an electric jolt through her body then an excruciating burning through her abdomen. She saw Zane’s eyes widen before he lunged at the dying beast that had just shot her and lobbed his head clear off, then the burning turned into coldness as she succumbed to the darkness and passed out.
Zane couldn’t believe it. Sarah had actually lunged in front of a blaster to save him. No one except for his bond-mates had ever even stood up for him and here this tiny human female had sacrificed herself for him. Knowing that Tristan was their best bet at saving her due to the fact that the medics on the station wouldn’t know anything about human anatomy, he carefully picked her up in his arms and ran all the way back to the ship like all their lives depended on it.
Chapter Sixteen
Zane contacted the ship while he was running back so Tristan would be prepared for what he was about to bring upon them, he was almost inconsolable when he reached them and lay Sarah down on the med table. Callen and Vaughn had to restrain him to take him out of the room so Tristan could assess how much damage their bond-mate had sustained.
As Tristan worked on Sarah, Rykken and Daegan assisted him. Tristan could feel the guilt broadcasting from both of them as they no doubt would blame themselves for letting Sarah out of their sight with only one guard. Not only was Tristan distraught at the thought of losing the woman he loved, but he knew his bond-mates might never recover if they lost Sarah.
Callen looked over at Vaughn, trying to console a raging and devastated Zane. He’d never seen the man this out of control before. Of course they were all scared beyond belief at the thought of losing Sarah, but he imagined that Zane was also kicking himself for being an idiot and resisting her love so long, time wasted that he might never get a chance to correct. Goddess willing, they would all have a lifetime with their newly found bond-mate. She completed them in a way they’d never realized was possible and Callen wanted nothing more than to tell her that.
After the first hour of waiting for news on Sarah’s condition, they’d finally had to sedate Zane. After the second hour both Callen and Vaughn were getting twitchy, but when Daegan and Rykken walked out of the med bay and softly smiled, they finally felt as though they could breathe again.
“Tristan says that it was a close call , but our Sarah will make a full recovery,” Daegan said as he dropped onto the low seating area beside a passed out Zane. “I don’t think I’ve ever been so scared in my whole life.”
Once Tristan came out and let them know Sarah was sleeping and all was good, they moved Zane to her side and left to clean up. Then one by one they all ended up back in the med bay watching over her, sleeping on couches and spare beds. No one wanted to leave her side ever again.
Sarah began to wake up. She thought she must be getting the flu or something because her entire body hurt top to bottom. The only thing that was making her want to stir at all instead of pulling the covers over her head and sleeping all day was the delicious heat of a large male body wound tight around hers. She caressed her hands around a waist and nuzzled her nose into a clean-smelling neck. The arms around her tightened and began to caress her hair and back.
“I was so afraid we’d lost you, Sarah,” he said in a tortured whisper against her ear. “I’m sorry I was such a fool little one, can you ever forgive me?”
Sarah finally became aware of which one of the men she had wrapped around her. It was Zane, and once she realized that, the memory of their day in the market came flooding back. She tensed immediately and Zane must have thought it was because of him. He began to slowly edge away from her.
Sarah looked up at his face. He looked so tormented, so sad. She held onto him and smiled. “You’re okay, Zane.”
He let out a surprised laugh. “Thanks to you I am, my warrior woman, because you saved me.”
From behind her she heard the door open and saw Tristan walk in with a large tray of food and drinks. As she looked around, that was when she noticed all of the other men lying around the room. Then she felt Daegan’s large warm hands skim up her back.
“And if you ever do something as foolish again as jump in front of a blaster, we’ll be tanning that beautiful ass of yours until you can’t sit down, little one,” the Captain said in a low voice.
Sarah covered his hand with hers. “I’m sorry I frightened you all. Am I okay?”
Tristan stepped up on the other side of the table behind Zane. “You’ve been in stasis healing for over a week, Sarah. It was a close thing, and if Zane had gotten you back ten minutes later we wouldn’t have been able to save you. You will be fine, but you need to be on bed rest for at least a few more days.”
Vaughn came into view beside the Captain and had a moving, mewling bundle under his chin. “There’s one more male who wants to see you, love.”
“My kitten!” Sarah reached out and brought the little bundle to her chest, “I almost forgot about this little guy. I think I’ll name him Fluffy,” she said as she stroked down his miniature tiger stripes.
They all laughed when Fluffy crawled into her gown and curled up against her heart and started to purr rather
loudly.
Callen looked over at Zane. “I’m assuming it wasn’t your idea to bring home a gula cub?”
Zane got a sheepish look on his face. “Sarah liked them and I couldn’t see the harm in adding one more resident to the atrium.”
Callen laughed. “But the other residents in the atrium won’t grow into large predator felines who think Sarah is their mother…whom they never part from. We’ve just become this little terror’s pride, my brothers.”
Sarah’s eyes got very large. “How big will he get?”
“I’d say about the size of one of your Earth’s jaguars,” he answered like it wasn’t a big deal.
“Will he be dangerous?” she asked, worried.
“Not to us, little one. He will probably follow you around all day but once he’s bonded to us he will become quite protective, and they are quite intelligent and trainable to a certain extent. I’ll do some research on the matter for you,” he said with an indulgent smile.
“But what will we do when the five-year term is up and I have to leave? Will he come with me?” she said quietly, not able to look any of them in the eye without tearing up at the thought of leaving.
Sarah could have sworn she heard growling from all of the men. When she looked up she was startled to see how angry they all looked.
“Are you so eager to leave us, Sarah?” Daegan growled from between clenched teeth. Visions of Sarah meeting other available males once they reached their planet streamed through his head, making him furious.
Chapter Seventeen
Tristan sensed how angry his Captain was. He gently placed his hand on Daegan’s arm, willing him to calm himself before he scared Sarah. “What Daegan means, Sarah, is that we don’t want you to stay with us for only the five-year term.”
Sarah looked up at the doctor’s gentle eyes. “I don’t understand, I thought that was a standard amount of time to spend with a female bond mate?” She was confused.
All of the men seemed to glance at each other, and then they looked back to Tristan to explain like they were too shy or unsure to say what was on their minds.
“Sarah…I didn’t tell you before because I wanted to run more tests before I could be certain beyond what we all already felt for you,” he began as he lightly caressed her hand. “The shared emotions between bond-mates only happens on our planet when the last permanent mate is bonded to the group. It hasn’t happened on Zorn for ages, we weren’t expecting it.”
Sarah was slowly beginning to understand that what they felt between them was special, “So…then you want to keep me?” she asked, sounding like a hopeful child.
All the men seemed to exhale all at once. Daegan threw up his hands in exasperation, “Of course we want to keep you, you ridiculous female! We love you!”
Sarah could barely believe her ears. Her eyes welled up with tears. “I love you, too, all of you.” She made a point of looking at Zane when she said that. Now that he’d fully accepted the bond she could feel the love radiating from him for her.
“Then you’d better move over, lashi, because we all need to show you how much we love you and you’re technically still not allowed out of bed,” Rykken said as he and the other men began to remove their clothes.
All she could do was laugh. She was so happy. “What does lashi mean?”
Zane began to undo the back of her gown and Callen snatched Fluffy away from her chest to place him in a pile of their clothes on the floor.
“It means ‘wife’ in our language,” Tristan said as he leaned over to kiss her gently. “Once we reach Zorn we will all be formally joined by the High Priestess.”
“Then I guess you’d all better teach me how to speak Zornan so I don’t embarrass my new husbands,” she said with a giggle as they all began to climb on the large bed.
Vaughn gave her a salacious look. “Oh, we intend to teach you all kinds of things, little one.”
The rest of her men began to undress and join them on the bed. As she took in the overwhelming amount of masculine beauty, Sarah felt Zane’s hands cover her breasts as he rolled and tugged at her nipples. She could feel how hard he was at her back and immediately her pussy started to drip as she began to move her hips back to encourage him to slip inside.
“Please, Zane, I need you,” she said in a throaty whisper.
“We all need you, baby. Let us show you how loved you’re going to feel for the rest of our lives,” Vaughn said as he took her mouth in a desperate hard kiss that stole her breath away.
Vaughn still kissed her as she felt Zane pull his hands down and trap her arms behind her back to hold her still as he slowly slid inside her soaked pussy in long, delicious strokes. Sarah opened her eyes to see Rykken and Callen share an aggressive kiss before they turned to her, each taking a breast, suckling and nibbling until she had to break away from Vaughn’s mouth to catch her breath.
“Please stop teasing and make me come. I feel like I’m going to go crazy. Please, Zane, faster!” She moaned then she noticed Tristan on the other side of the bed, greedily sucking Daegan’s hard cocks. Her pussy began to pulse and clamp down on Zane as she locked eyes with Daegan and got caught in his smoldering stare. She felt Vaughn bring her hand down to stroke him while he continued to suck and nibble on her neck and that was all it took to push her over the edge. She came hard around Zane, barely noticing when Zane covered her smaller hand with his and helped to stroke up and down Vaughn’s primary cock. Sarah was still seeing stars as Zane grabbed her hips hard and pumped two more times before he bellowed out and came inside of her. Once she caught her breath, she felt the evidence on her stomach that Vaughn had come with her and Zane. Both of them were still lazily kissing her neck from each side while Rykken began to kiss his way down her stomach and Callen moved the opposite direction up to take her mouth in a kiss so soft and thorough it almost made her cry. Through the bond she could feel the contentment and love each man felt for her and each other. Sarah felt complete in a way she’d never dreamed of experiencing.
As soon as Rykken began to lick and suck at her pussy, her contentment began to morph into the blazing desire these men created in her.
“Are you impatient to come again, little dove?” Callen asked as he ate at her mouth in little kisses, teasing her as he always did.
“Yes, I need you both right now, Callen,” she answered as she tried to push Rykken away before he made her come without them inside of her.
All Rykken did was look up and smile before he picked her up and placed her down on his lap, sliding into her cunt in one fast thrust.
“Stay still and let Callen in, baby,” he said before he took her mouth in a kiss.
Sarah got so lost in Rykken’s kiss that she almost jumped when Callen slid a lubed finger along her crack into her ass. She pushed back, asking for more as he worked it in and out of her. When he pulled out his fingers, she was about to protest until she felt the heat of his cock replace them in a smooth thrust. It felt so amazing to have them inside her, full to almost the point she couldn’t take it, but when they began to move all she could do was close her eyes and hang on for the ride.
“I want you to suck me while they’re fucking you, baby,” Tristan said into her ear before kissing her neck.
Sarah nodded as Tristan stood next to them and she licked the drop of cum from the tip of his cock, then she took both of them into her mouth and let Tristan keep pace to Rykken’s and Callen’s thrusts. Sarah quickly lost control, sucking hard as she began to milk the two cocks inside of her, her orgasm seeming to go on and on. Tristan came down her throat with a moan and dropped back to the bed as Rykken and Callen both began a frantic pace, her pussy still pulsing around them. They held her so tight as they came inside her, absently murmuring how much they loved her, kissing her neck, shoulders, and mouth.
As they released her and lay her back down she sighed, feeling like she was floating after that much pleasure. She felt two warm hands slide up the outside of her legs, along her torso, and up to cup her face.
As she opened her eyes she knew it would be Daegan’s beautiful violet eyes that she looked into.
“I love you all,” she said as he lowered down to gently slip into her and loved her in a slow leisurely pace. It was so perfect after the passionate loving the other men had given her.
“And we love you, Sarah. You are so much more than we could ever have imagined the gods would bless us with,” Daegan said before he kissed her.
As Sarah lay back and dozed in the arms of the six men that she loved, she was very much beginning to look forward to learning the rest of those lessons they had promised
