Starlight [Warriors of Dareen] (Siren Publishing Classic)

by Sara Anderson

  Kara looked up at him to see the stricken look in his eyes.

  “If Captain Aster had not been standing there, I could have finished your punishment. I knew I had to for you to learn, but your cries tear at my soul in a way no other woman has ever accomplished.”

  Kara wanted to be mad at him. She wanted to cuss at him and call him every filthy, vile name, but the peace that settled over her was too wonderful a feeling to ruin it by getting angry again. “Don’t.” Kara put her fingers over his lips to silence his apology. “It did something to me. I don’t know what, but—”

  Joran’s eyes widened. “Your anxiety is greatly lessoned. Despite your initial anger, you are now much more at peace.”

  Kara nodded. “I am, it’s strange.”

  Joran kissed her gently on the forehead. “Our people call this the cleansing. Not everyone benefits from pain cleansing the soul, but you may be one of the few that do.”

  “The cleansing?”

  Joran nodded, “You could be one of the blessed few that can have pain-cleanse angst from their souls through pain delivered by someone they trust. I wonder if pain will bring you sexual release as well.”

  Kara remembered his erotic spanking. “You mean like before?” she asked.

  “That was light. I am wondering if heavy pain can bring you a stronger orgasm.” He sighed, then nuzzled her face. “Let me get you something for your pain. Now that your punishment is over, your pain should end as well.”

  Joran stood with her in his arms and walked over to a cabinet. There was a jar full of something white he pulled out. He walked with her into their bedroom and laid her down. He kicked off his boots, then climbed onto the bed himself. He rolled Kara on her stomach, making her whimper.

  “Easy, lenora.” Joran uncapped the jar and dug his fingers into the thick cream. He rubbed it on her throbbing ass.

  “Ow.” Kara stiffened and hissed at the pain of him rubbing the cream on. “No, I am not blessed, this just hurts. No happy, blessed feelings.”

  “Hold on, it will pass in just a moment.” Joran’s voice soothed her as he rubbed gently. True to his word, the burn faded, then it was gone. Joran kept rubbing more cream in until Kara was completely limp and relaxed over his lap with all the pain gone. “You were not sexually aroused at the moment, so it just hurt.”

  Just when Kara thought she might doze off to sleep, Joran picked her up and moved her to sit in his lap again. He cuddled her head against his shoulder.

  “Thank you,” she murmured sleepily, blinking her eyes.

  Joran smiled. “You’re welcome.” He kissed the top of her head so tenderly Kara’s heart melted. I could fall in love with him. Even with the ass beatings, I can lose my heart to him. She was so comfortable that even that idea did not scare her. What scared her were her thoughts of escaping. Knowing they were chasing their last group of Shara before they left Earth made her wonder if she should at least give it some thought. If they left, she had no hope of ever returning home. It was not like she could hop on a bus or a plane. The first problem with escaping she could think of was that she would leave her best friend behind. Laura was not safe to move, not to mention if she did get her to run, how would she explain Laura’s sudden mental break? She couldn’t. Then, when she thought of a life on Earth without Laura or Joran, her chest felt painfully hollow.

  Kara sucked in a breath at the shock of her feelings. She did not want to leave Joran, even after that nasty spanking. Now that her ass wasn’t on fire anymore, she didn’t think it was all that bad. She also had to wonder if it was true. Was she one of those that got off on pain given the right stimulation? She felt a trickle of her juice at the very thought of Joran rubbing her clit, spanking her, making her scream as she came from the mix of pain and pleasure. She wiggled her ass, trying to ease the ache.

  Joran was looking down at her, smiling. “What is all this wiggling and sighing about? Does it have anything to do with what you are worried about?”

  Kara stiffened. She kept forgetting he could sense what she was feeling and if he wanted to, he could tell if she was lying to him. Damn him and his special powers. If he found out she even thought about escape, he would lock her up until they were safely away from Earth.

  “Oh, I was just thinking about how that wasn’t so bad, now that my ass isn’t on fire anymore.” Kara gave him a look she hoped was full of desire, anything to keep him from using his talents on her.

  Joran raised an eyebrow at her. “Does that mean I can test a theory now?” His smile was pure evil and Kara’s breath froze in her chest. She forgot any notions of escaping when he looked at her like that.

  Kara knew at that moment she had lost her mind, completely lost it. At that moment, she wanted him to beat her while making her come. She nodded her head before breathing out a whispered “Yes. Please, Joran. I want you to beat my ass as you make me come.”

  Joran stood up, holding her, and laid her on what looked like a weight bench. “Put your hands over your head and grab the handle. Do not move,” he ordered her. Kara’s pussy dampened more as she obeyed him. He bent her legs, pulling them close to her chest, and tied them there with straps he pulled from under the table.

  Joran ran his fingers lightly over her clit. “You are already wet for me.” He stared at her face as he ran his fingers through her juices, then again ran his finger over her bud.

  Kara moaned at the feeling, wishing she could move. Pleasure was building fast, wanting to explode out from her core. She wanted more. She could not even think anymore. Every time she formed a thought, it vanished.

  “That’s it, do not think about it, just feel. Feel how good I can make you feel,” Joran told her, then moved his hands to her ass. Kara hissed when Joran rubbed her partially healed welts. “That hurts, but it feels good, too.” Kara wiggled her hips, wanting him to touch her again, smack her ass or something.

  Joran smiled. “Let me ease that pain for you.” His mouth came down on her clit and sucked it hard into his mouth while rubbing his tongue over the bundle of nerves under the hood.

  Kara arched into him, so shocked by the sudden bliss she could not even cry out. Her whole body twitched in erotic delight as his tongue flicked over her clit while he sucked hard.

  It was coming, her body tightened harder, then harder. She was on the edge when, slap. Pain exploded in her ass. Kara screamed, but not in pain. She came hard, bucking her hips. She heard the slaps, but did not register pain. With every slap, another wave of pure bliss crashed onto her until she could no longer feel her body. She was floating and felt nothing but pleasure. She heard screaming from far away, but the pleasure and peace were so intense she paid little attention to it.

  She was moving through the air now, like on a gently rocking boat, she felt herself rocking. She sighed in perfect contentment. Hands brushed through her hair, then something cold was pressed to her lips. She drank and glowed at the gentle praise of drinking all the sweet liquid. Something was pressed to her lips, and she opened. It too was sweet, like caramel. Buttery, sweet caramel.

  She blinked a few times, their sitting room coming into view. She looked around. She was wrapped in a soft blanket while Joran rocked her in his favorite chair. “There you are,” he whispered. “You were gone for a while.”

  “Where did I go?” Kara asked confused.

  “A few special people are able to go to a place where they feel perfect peace during a heavy scene. You were able to go there. I looked it up, humans call it sub space.”

  Kara had heard about that in the books she read. She read about punishments, too. The sub space was cool, but she thought she could do without the punishment. Without him fucking her, pain was no fun. Whether it made her weird or not, she decided she liked pain with her sex. Yeah, she was crazy, but she had to admit that was one strong orgasm she had.

  Kara smiled up at Joran. “That almost made up for you blistering my ass.”

  Joran winced. “Please, Kara. Do not ever wander around the ship unprotected. I d
o not know if I could survive if I lost you.”

  Kara was stunned by the emotion in his tone and on his face. She could feel herself falling for him. She only hoped she did not get her heart crushed again. She knew she would not recover if it did. Her heart would grow cold and she would never trust another man enough to love him. That thought terrified her. She did not want to be hurt again and go through all that pain and sadness. What was she going to do then? Sit on the sidelines and refuse to ever try, because she was scared? Kara hoped she was braver than that. She slid down his lap. “What are you doing?”

  “You will see.” She smiled then sank to her knees in front of him. She wanted to see how he reacted to her. Ryan was disgusted with her efforts at oral sex. She thought perhaps she could see some of his true feelings this way.

  His eyes were on her face as she pulled at the seam of his uniform pants. She found his cock in there and wrapped her hand around it. She pulled her hand up and down gently along his throbbing length.

  “Kara,” he hissed between clenched teeth.

  “Yes, Joran.” She smiled, then pulled his cock out. It was long and thick, and part of her wondered if he would fit in her mouth. She noticed veins wrapped around it. She lightly touched them, making him hiss. She looked up at him. He did not look disgusted at all. He looked like he would come up out of that chair and force his cock down her throat if she teased him too much. She licked her lips. She had been curious how he tasted, since he thought she tasted so good. Kara ran her tongue around the head of his cock. She smiled at Joran’s reaction. Every muscle looked tense and he looked like he was in pain. She understood that look. She had felt it before. She pulled his hardening cock into her mouth and sucked.

  Joran’s head fell back and he gripped the chair arms in a hold tight enough to make his arms shake. Kara wondered if he would break his chair.

  She licked up his shaft, then swirled her tongue around the head. She could feel his hips twitching while he moaned incoherently.

  Joran wheezed out a whine of what Kara assumed was pure pleasure. She smiled. Never had she felt powerful having a man more than twice her size under her control.

  A pearly drop of pre-cum gathered at the head of his cock. Kara licked it off, then hummed at the savory flavor. It was salty like a human’s but also had a sweet taste to it as well. Almost like the sweet and salty treats she liked that mixed together perfectly.

  She hummed her pleasure and Joran groaned. Losing control, he thrust his hips, shoving his cock down her throat. Kara gagged a little and pulled her head up just enough to relieve the gag reflex. Kara swirled her tongue again, making him thrust hard again and pant. Kara giggled.

  His eyes opened immediately. “You think this is funny do you?” he demanded, and was up in an instant. He pulled her up with him and put her over the couch arm. Her ass was in the air. She was about to ask him what he was doing when he spread her wide, opening her pussy. In one smooth thrust, he was buried in her up to his balls.

  Kara screamed when nerves stretched, causing pleasure, and he hit her womb, causing pain. That delicious pain mixed with her pleasure made her sag on the arm of the couch and push her ass higher, hoping he would fuck her harder. He pulled out, then slammed back into her harder like she hoped.

  “Oh, oh, oh. Joran, again,” she begged.

  Hands gripped her hips and he pulled out and thrust back in, his body slapping against hers. The force jarred her entire body and drew a scream of pure ecstasy from her lips. Again and again, her body rocked, the couch creaked, and flesh slapped.

  Kara’s body wound tighter as the orgasm built. Joran was slamming into her, growling like a wild bear. Kara hiccupped sobs of rapture as her orgasm built. The orgasm didn’t want to crest and she wondered if he would finish before she got a chance to come. His hands reached down and pinched her clit. Blinding light exploded in her vision while she bucked and screamed. Over and over, her body went over the edge until she heard Joran roar out his own orgasm. He bent over her, his shaft pulsing hugely in her.

  “Don’t do that to me when you are already sore from punishment and heavy use,” Joran said at last. “Surely you will be too sore to get out of bed tomorrow.”

  “It will be worth it,” Kara panted, still trying to get her breath.

  “I can’t get enough of you. Every time I bury my cock into you, I think I will finally have enough to last the rest of the day, but moments later I want you again.”

  Kara smiled. “You won’t hear me complain. I have to make up for lost time.” She knew there was no hope for her anymore. She loved him. She had let her guard down and Joran had invaded and taken over her heart.

  Chapter 15

  Kara sat in the hospital bed with Laura. She turned the picture on the device Joran had given her that had information and pictures of Dareen. She would stare at it, then show it to Laura. The sky was more white then blue. Many of the pictures had snow-topped mountains. The landscape was coated in flowers of every color instead of grass. She loved opening the file that had Joran’s home in it that was soon to be her home as well. His home was made of an ivory-white stone with some sort of tile roof. It was not huge, but it was beautiful to her. She could see the wood-looking floors of his, or rather their house, shine, but there were many beautiful area rugs. She swallowed at the massive bed made out of some sort of carved wood and all the ways Joran could tie her up. There were gardens in the front and the back, and her fingers already itched to dig in the dirt at the sight of them. It was different from Earth, but beautiful. Many of the buildings looked to be made out of a type of polished stone. “It is different then what we are used to, but not in a bad way.”

  Kara swore she saw Laura smile as she showed her a picture of some of their animals. They looked closely related to Earth animals, except they had different colors for their fur. She saw a horse with fire-engine red hide and a dog with yellow hair. Not too far off from a yellow lab, though. Several of the pictures had Dareen in them. The women were built much like human women, while the men were bigger, like she had already seen. Some of the men looked closer to human men’s build. They were leaner and had a more peaceful look about them.

  “They are very much like the human guys we knew, Laura. You just have to be careful when they get bossy. They really mean the whole ‘you will obey me’ thing.” Kara bit her bottom lip, debating whether to tell Laura. “You are my best friend and we do share everything. I know if you could talk to me, you would be so excited. I love him, Laura. I am not sure when it happened. I didn’t even think it was at first but I have decided I am not crazy. Really, I’m not. You would think I would hate him, but no, I can’t imagine life without him anymore. I thought about running at first. I could not figure out how to take you with me, though. Then I started to wonder what I had in Kansas. A job. Without you, I only have a stupid job.”

  Laura sniffed. Kara instantly stopped brushing. “Laura? Can you hear me?” Kara knelt in front of her and took her hands. “It’s okay. I am here.”

  Laura let out another sniff, then a sob. “Oh, sweetie.” Kara rose back to the bed and grabbed her friend in a comforting hug. “Hush now. I’m right here, you’re safe. I promise,” she soothed.

  “Kara. Oh god, Kara. It hurts. They’re hurting me.” Laura tried to shove Kara off of her, and when Kara did not let go of her, she screamed. Kara tried harder to hold Laura still while she struggled, thrashing around. Kara barely dodged Laura’s fists and nails while she fought to break free.

  “No one is hurting you, Laura. You are safe in your hospital room with me.” Kara held her as hard as she could, but still Laura’s arms got free and were able to hit Kara hard enough to make her drop to the floor. Spots flashed before Kara’s eyes from hitting her head, and she shook her head, clearing her vision. Laura was trying to open her door. Kara jumped up and ran after her, fearful Laura would hurt herself. “Laura, stop!” Kara yelled, trying to break her out of her panic. Laura hit buttons, trying to open the door while sobbing. “They’re
attacking me, Kara. Make them stop. I can’t stand it anymore. Why aren’t you helping me? Get them off. Get a knife or something to stab them.” Kara knew in that moment that Laura would hurt herself if she got the chance. She was not rational. No matter what Kara told her, she could not assure Laura that she was safe.

  The light turned green and the door hissed open. Kara pulled herself up, hoping Varnis was would be back with their drinks soon while she chased Laura out into the main medical area. Laura held her head, crying while swinging at the air as if she was trying to hit someone, but no one was there.

  “Get off of me,” Laura screamed “Kara, please help me,” Laura begged while she flailed her arms around.

  Kara lunged for Laura again. “Laura, please listen to me, you are safe here. No one is hurting you. It is just you and me.”

  Laura wrenched away from Kara. “I thought you were my friend, why aren’t you getting them off of me?”

  “Laura, stop.” Kara felt fear clench her gut when the main doors opened. She thought they locked those damn doors since the doctor was down at the prison level helping Joran with one of the prisoners. If Laura got out, she had no idea what she would do.

  Kara breathed a sigh of relief. Varnis walked in and saw Laura up. His eyes widened in surprise before he ran at Laura.

  Laura screamed when she saw him stalking her. “Stay away from me. You sick fucking bastard.” Kara winced at how loud Laura was screaming. It was so full of fear it broke her heart.

  Varnis stalked toward her while Laura backed up, keeping her eyes locked with his. Kara could tell Varnis was steering her toward a corner. Varnis took a black box off of his belt and spoke into it in his own language while keeping his eyes locked on her. Laura hit a set of shelves and noticed she was trapped. The panicked look that came over her face made Kara’s heart break. Varnis’s tone was gentle. “Laura, you know no one here will hurt you. Let’s make this easy, go back to bed.”
