Hidden Talent: StarLords, Book 1

by Bianca D'Arc

  But first, he would enjoy the time they had together. Tomorrow would work itself out. He wanted to revel in the joys of being newly wed to the one woman who completed him in the universe. And he would do so, as soon as he could whisk her away from the throngs of well-wishers and adoring Mages.

  As it turned out, their departure for the coast was delayed a day or two at the Council’s request. There was a great deal they had to do to prepare the way for two new Shas, and Micah and Jeri’s input was required on the decisions, apparently. It was frustrating to Micah, when he wanted to be alone with his new wife.

  Before he could do something rash to the aides that insisted on bothering him for every little thing, Darak showed up at the door to the spacious chambers they’d been given. He had the rest of the crew of the Circe with him and a supply of food and drink big enough for one final crew party. It was the night before Micah and Jeri were scheduled to finally leave on their honeymoon, and they welcomed their friends with open arms and bright smiles.

  At first there was some awkwardness because the crewmembers didn’t quite know how to address newly made Shas, but Micah put them at ease in short order. He reminded them that he was still the same man he’d been before, just with a new title. They’d been dealing with the giant leap in their own powers, so they understood perhaps better than anyone how he felt. After Darak poured the first few rounds of drinks, things loosened up even more. And when, inevitably, the group started to flirt and exchange sexual banter, Micah watched Jeri closely to see if she would leave, watch or perhaps even take part.

  Micah’s tall nephew Kirt settled next to Seta, his tawny hair disheveled as he bent to nip at her shoulder. It was left bare by the typically suggestive top she wore that showcased her pierced nipples. It wasn’t long before she guided Kirt’s head to her chest, encouraging the young man to suck her nipples. They’d spent a lot of time on the Circe pleasuring each other and the young man knew Seta’s preferences well. It was only a moment before he had her shifting on the wide sofa, moving around so he could settle between her nearly bare legs.

  Darak raised an eyebrow toward Micah and he knew without asking what his cousin was thinking as his gaze shifted quickly to Jeri and back again. Jeri tried not to watch Seta and Kirt on the sofa. The youngster was licking her pussy, eating her out like the old pro he was after spending a few months on the Circe with her and the rest of the crew.

  Trini moved over to the other yeoman, bending to kiss Welan long and deep, settling on his lap and removing his clothing slowly, one piece at a time.

  Micah nodded imperceptibly to Darak and Agnor, settling one strong arm around Jeri’s shoulders. She became aware gradually that Micah was moving her to lie back against his chest, clasping her breasts in his hands as he whispered in her ear.

  “Do you want to watch or shall we join in, love?”

  Jeri caught her breath and it lodged somewhere in her throat. She knew that Micah was waiting for her answer. She also knew he wouldn’t try to influence her either way. She had become more used to the open sexuality of his culture over the past weeks onboard his ship and then the past few days on planet, but she was hesitant to join in the open displays of sexual enjoyment that were common here.

  Still, she knew every person in this room. She had fought and worked beside them on the ground and in the skies above Liata. She had laughed and cried with them, and she knew they were Micah’s family. Now they were her family too. She loved each and every one of them in a special way. It almost felt natural to think of them sharing pleasure with each other and…maybe…with her and Micah.

  She also knew that Micah didn’t need for her to do this, though he wouldn’t deny her if she wanted it. She’d had some very serious conversations with her new husband about the way she’d grown up and had lived on Mithrak, and then later on Pantur. She knew that he wanted her to open up sexually for her own benefit, not for any need of his own. She’d felt the truth of his words when he’d said that she was the one woman he would want for the rest of their lives, and she felt the same about him.

  She really wanted only him, but she knew he wanted to give her the experiences he’d taken for granted growing up and living on a Council world. He wanted her to explore her sexuality, to bring her pleasure and share in her voyage of discovery.

  That was the only thing that gave her the guts to speak her mind. Knowing he would enjoy broadening her horizons as much as she would was extra incentive.

  “Let’s join in this one time, Micah. One time before they pack us off to wherever it is that good little Shas go.”

  He chuckled as he nuzzled her ear. “As you wish, my love.”

  Micah shot Darak and Agnor a look they understood well. The men moved the couches back and the huge mattress from the giant bed in the other room was placed on the floor in the center of the sitting room. Sheets and a mound of pillows followed as Seta and Trini took a moment from their pleasures to help the men make the area more comfortable.

  Micah called the two yeomen over, taking Jeri’s jeweled nipple chain from around her throat as they approached. Both young men had changed so much since she’d first met them. They were truly men now, powerful and confident since the changes and difficulties they’d faced. In their early twenties, they were both well-built, good-looking specimens of the males in Micah’s family—tall, handsome, smart and quick to make her chuckle with their witty banter. She felt so different from the shy farm girl who had been so impressed by them, even back when they were somewhat less sure of themselves.

  Jeri didn’t know what Micah had in mind, but she knew she’d have to shield tightly so as not to hurt either of these young men who were strong, yes, but no match for her new Sha status. She trusted Micah to know what he was doing.

  She licked her lips nervously as he handed the chain to the two men who now stood before her with knowing smiles on their handsome faces.

  “I think you’ve earned this little honor.” Micah put one end of the nipple chain in each of their hands. “She likes to be bitten. Gently, though.”

  With a little further direction that made Jeri squirm on his lap, he unlaced her bodice and pulled the sides apart, baring her tightening breasts to their hungry gazes. Kirt and Welan moved forward as one, reaching out with their hands and tongues as Micah moved back, watching with indulgent eyes as the two young men brought her nipples to tight, hard peaks.

  She cried out when they nipped her in unison, looking at their dark, laughing eyes, so much like her new husband’s. They were slightly younger versions of him and Darak, she realized, with the same devastating sexual skill that would make their mates lucky women someday.

  They played with her nipples for a very long time, bringing her to a lovely high peak of pleasure and making her come just from playing with her breasts, as they tweaked in unison. Their bright, sexy smiles made her feel loved—not the way Micah loved her of course, but she felt the acceptance, admiration and love from these people who had become her family, and she took each young man in turn and kissed him deeply.

  She was kissing Welan as Kirt squeezed hard on her nipple once more before tightening one end of the jeweled chain expertly. She yelped, and they both chuckled as they switched places, Kirt driving his tongue deeply into her mouth as Welan secured the other end of the chain on her straining nipple.

  “Welcome to the family, cousin,” Welan whispered into her ear, making her shiver as he delivered one final kiss. Then both young men moved back to Trini and Seta who had been enjoying fondling kisses from both Agnor and Darak.

  The older men moved to let the yeomen take over with the women while Micah moved Jeri to the center of the huge mattress. He sat behind her as he played with her tight, bound nipples. Agnor and Darak came to sit on either side of her, reminding her of the pleasure they’d found that one time they’d all been together. She knew this was a farewell of sorts and the thought brought a bittersweet feeling to her. But they were all family. Just because Micah would no longer be captaining the Ci
rce didn’t mean she would never see them again. It would be less often, and probably not all together in one place, but she would see them from time to time. She and Micah would make sure of it.

  Chapter Fourteen

  She realized this farewell gathering was good for them. They needed to celebrate one last time as the group that had weathered such trials and come out on top. They’d grown during their voyage and changed in so many ways. She cherished each and every one of these people, and she never wanted them to forget it, even though she was some kind of important Sha now.

  She was still plain old Jeri in her mind, and she wanted to be the adventurous Jeri she’d discovered with these loving people. Already Micah had helped her grow in so many ways. He was her life. As she knew she was his. It was hard not to fall back into her old habits of hiding from the world and keeping a very low profile.

  In a way, being a cosseted Sha was going to be hard on her. There was every temptation to retreat from the world, and let them all protect her from afar. But she didn’t want to be the timid Jeri anymore. She was strong now and she had Micah at her side. His love made her stronger and together they could face anything that came. She liked that idea and she would try hard not to let the cosseting that came with being a Sha turn her into a recluse once again.

  Darak moved to kiss her sweetly on the lips, and she smiled as he pulled back. His kiss was deep, hard, strong and had the tang of possession, though she belonged indelibly to Micah. He knew that well enough. It was just his way. Darak was a very complex man and she understood his need to dominate.

  Agnor was on her other side, stroking her skin in that gentle way of his. His touch was different from Darak’s direct approach, and different from Micah’s knowing hands. Agnor was a gentle soul with the heart of a pirate. She’d already learned how he could make her squirm with his gentle, passionate hands and naughty thoughts. He was perhaps the strongest telepath in the galaxy at this point, and though she had little of that skill herself, he could make his thoughts echo through her mind in a sultry whisper that made her incredibly hot.

  Micah hadn’t quite caught on to that one yet, but she planned to tell him how sexy she thought it was to hear her lover’s thoughts in her mind soon, if he didn’t discover it for himself here tonight. She’d nearly forgotten about that little trick of Agnor’s, but she knew Micah had some telepathic skill and he’d probably be able to learn something from his friend in this one instance. Jeri shivered in delight thinking about Micah’s scandalous thoughts sounding intimately in her mind.

  Agnor traced down her body with his warm lips, kissing and stroking her with his long fingers, while Darak left her mouth to follow a similar path down the other side. They both stopped at her toes, sucking them into their mouths as they watched her eyes, using their hands to caress her legs, removing her clothing along the way. Before she knew it, she was bare and her legs spread wide open with Darak in possession of one long limb and Agnor the other.

  The kept her writhing in suspense, licking and touching their way up the insides of her legs, letting their hands tangle a bit when they reached her pussy. Agnor flicked her clit with knowing fingers while Darak zeroed in on her ass. She knew he liked that and was glad she would have one last memory to take with her of these special men before she and Micah assumed their full responsibilities as Shas.

  Of course, they had a honeymoon planned first, but that would be just the two of them. She was looking forward to spending time alone with him, without distractions and only the two of them making love day and night. But this final send-off with his friends was special too. It made her feel accepted on this new world in a way that was rare and unique.

  Agnor plunged his fingers into her pussy as he finally reached her clit with his tongue and she went off like a rocket, held securely in Micah’s arms as he watched all that transpired from his seated position at her back. His attention made her hot and honored in a strange way. He was such a special man, and she knew in her heart that he was happy to teach her and share with her the sexual freedoms he’d always known growing up on this world.

  She loved having three strong men at her beck and call, and it was something she would never in her life forget. But she would do just as well, she knew, if it were only her and Micah, as it would be for the rest of their lives. There was so much love between them, they didn’t really need anyone else to be complete.

  As she came down from that first climax, she leaned back and twisted her head to the side, kissing Micah deeply.

  “I love you,” she whispered.

  “And I love you.”

  The low, deep voice was unmistakably Micah’s and unmistakably in her mind. Her eyes shot up to meet his as he chuckled.

  “Agnor clued me in on how much you seemed to enjoy a little ’pathing with your pleasure.”

  She grinned and looked over at the tall, smiling man reclining at her side. “Agnor, I love you.”

  “Hey, what about me?” Darak winked at her as he came back, having removed his clothing while she recovered from that first shattering peak.

  “You know I love you too, Master Mage.” She caressed his bare calf with her toes, giving him a daring view of her pussy as he moved closer.

  “Master,” he chuckled. “I think I finally like the sound of that.” His smile was smug and almost comical.

  Micah threw a pillow at him that bounced off his nose.

  “Hey, is that any way to treat a master?”

  “You’re not my master, Dar,” Micah joked with the other man. “You’re just my pesky cousin, and if you don’t get this party started, I’m going to disown you.”

  “Have you noticed that the man has no patience since he’s been made king of the universe, Ag?” Darak jokingly complained to the man across from him, but Agnor was too busy licking Jeri’s clit to notice. Darak gave up with a shrug and dived in to make a meal of her chained nipples.

  “You have great tits, Jeri,” he whispered against her skin, making her gasp.

  “And the sweetest pussy,” Agnor echoed in her mind.

  She went up in flames as his naughty words registered and it wasn’t long before she was begging with whimpering cries. The men smiled smugly at each other while Micah orchestrated their positions, taking care of her even in his heightened state of arousal.

  Agnor lay down in the center of the large mattress, obviously happy to have Jeri climb aboard. She went down on his cock slowly, stretching, filling, enjoying the feeling of him inside her tender core. He watched her face with indulgent fascination. She was beautiful to him, a true friend who accepted him with all his little faults and never questioned.

  “My friend Micah is a very lucky man, Jeri,” he ’pathed to her. Her eyes met his as she came down over him fully. Darak pushed on her back, lowering her over Agnor and she held his gaze as she rested her breasts against his muscular chest.

  “I’m the lucky one.” Her smile was pure deviltry as she leaned forward to kiss him, her glorious hair spilling all around them, cocooning them in a private world of pleasure.

  “I pray one day to find a mate like you. It is my fondest wish.” He knew he was getting a little too emotional, but this was probably the last time the crew of the Circe would be together in one place with the man who had led them for so long and his new mate. He would miss them sorely, though he was glad for them. Still, it made his heart ache with loneliness to think of them staying behind when the Circe set off once more, for the first time without Micah at the helm.

  Jeri seemed to understand his odd melancholy. She kissed him with a tenderness he’d never before experienced, then pulled back to meet his gaze.

  “Micah loves you. That will never stop, no matter where we are in the galaxy. And with your new powers, you can talk to him any time.” She gasped as Darak started his surprisingly gentle entry into her ass. “You should ’path him, Ag. He’s going to miss you all as much, if not more, than you’ll miss him.”

  He kissed her deeply. “I will, sweet Jeri. I
will. Forgive me for spoiling the mood. I believe you wanted to be fucked?”

  She giggled against his lips as Darak moved just an inch farther inside her back door.

  “I’ll take that as a yes. But how do you want it, my lady? Slow and long or hard and fast? Maybe a little of both?” His voice in her mind made her shiver. “Ah, definitely both. Well, you have two men in your delicious body already, what’s your new husband up to, I wonder?”

  He didn’t have to wonder long as Micah’s hands reached down, taming Jeri’s luscious hair and lifting her by the shoulders to prop her up on her palms. She brought her hands to Agnor’s side so she could take Micah in her mouth as he kneeled next to them.

  Agnor spared one glance at Micah’s face and was almost overcome by the love shining in his friend’s eyes for his new mate. He wanted to feel that for someone. He wanted that kind of soul-deep love in his life. For now, he would concentrate on this beautiful, kind, giving woman and bring her the greatest pleasure he knew how to give. She was special to him, though he knew she belonged firmly to his friend. Still, not a little part of his heart belonged to her and always would.

  Darak slid gently home, taking his time to accustom Jeri’s tender anus to his invasion. Gods, but he loved her tight ass.

  She wasn’t used to being taken in the ass, so he had to be extra careful. He didn’t mind in the least, as she was extra tight. She was a special woman. Hot as hell, with a kind, generous heart and a dangerously strong Talent that would bring most men to their knees. She was the perfect match for his cousin Micah. The StarLord had finally found a mate worthy of him and vice versa.
