Tears slid silently down Brianneas face. aI donat want to lose him.a Aiden raised his head, his eyes dry and fierce. aI canat lose him. Heas everything to me.a Brianne wiped away her tears, knowing she stained her cheeks with traces of Kyas blood. aWhat are we going to do?a aI donat know.a Aidenas voice was hollow. aIf Dr. Laas canata I donat know.a Brianne reached for his hand. Aiden held it hard, his Shareem strength almost crushing her.
Calder strode back into the room. aSheas coming.a Aiden lifted his head. aSheas coming here? She never leaves her compound.a aWe canat exactly drag Ky there without attracting attention. Besides, she said not to move him.a aWho said?a Brianne asked him.
Calder glared down at her. aYou have to go.a aLet her stay,a Aiden growled.
aWe canat risk her knowing. She leaves, she doesnat know, she canat do anything.a aI trust her.a aGood for you.a Brianne rose to her feet. aI donat think you understand. I will do everything in my power to help Ky. If Iam not supposed to know who this doctor is, then I wonat ask. I swear that to you. I only want Ky to be all right.a aShe stays.a The words grated from Ky. aI want her.a aDonat try to talk,a Aiden said. He wiped the blood from Kyas lips with the corner of his tunic then flinched when Ky began to cough.
Calder transferred his glare to Brianne. aThen you go out there and tell your driver to go home. Send your guards away and take off every body monitor youare wearing, or Iall do it for you.a She imagined his huge gloved hands probing her body, ripping the monitors from her pulse points. She had the feeling the sensation would make Kyas spankings seem like being stroked with a feather.
aFine,a Brianne said, backing away a step. aIall do this your way.a She removed her bloodstained outer robe and put her hands under her dress to peel off the monitor probes under his scrutinizing gaze. She crumpled the wires and marched out of the apartment to thrust them into the hands of her startled driver.
The driver did not want to leave Brianne in what she termed a disreputable part of town, but Brianne overrode her. She punched up Harbourgh on the caras console and told him what she wanted. Harbourgh was a hardcore bodyguard, but he had worked for Brianne long enough to trust her.
aYes, my lady,a he said.
The driver was less enthusiastic, but obeyed orders. The hover car slid gently away as Brianne watched, its wake stirring her hair.
Only a few moments after her driver disappeared, another transport slid to a halt in front of the building. A person emerged so swathed in cloths that it was hard to tell if it was male or female. The second person out of the hover car was Rees.
Brianne hurried across the street to dive into the building just behind them. Rees looked down at her with the same suspicion as Calder, but with one difference. Reesa expression told her that if Brianne tried to betray them, head take care of it. No need for threats, head just do it.
They entered the apartment and Rees locked the door behind them. The doctor removed her face cloths and outer robes, revealing a trim woman of about forty or so in a body-hugging pantsuit. She glanced at Brianne without interest, her gaze swiveling to Calder, who waited for them.
ah.e.l.lo, Calder,a she said in some surprise.
Calder gave her a curt nod.
aHeas in here,a Aiden called.
The woman stepped calmly over the mess in the living room and entered the bedroom. aOh dear.a aCan you help him?a Brianne asked.
aThat all depends.a She knelt by Ky and touched his face. aItas Dr. Laas, Ky. They put nano-implants in you, didnat they?a Ky dragged his eyes open but didnat focus on anything. aYes.a aWith a specific trigger. Yes, I remember those experiments. I thought theyad shut them down.a aSpecific trigger?a Aiden asked. aWhat are you talking about?a aHe never told you? Experiments were run to discover whether unacceptable behavior could be eradicated by embedding nano-computers inside Shareem. Brain chemicals produced during the unacceptable behavior would trigger the implants to causea"oh, pain, nausea, shocka"whatever the scientists wanted. They were questionable experiments, and I opposed them. Not that anyone listened to me.a aSo he did something aunacceptablea?a Calder asked.
Dr. Laas nodded. aI would guess when Aiden and he began to make love the nano-computers decided it was a step too far.a Aidenas face drained of color. aI did this to him?a aIam afraid so.a Dr. Laas put a kind hand on his shoulder. aYou werenat to know.a Calderas eyes flickered, but he said nothing. Rees remained stoic.
aIt doesnat matter how it happened,a Brianne broke in. aWhat matters is whether you can help him.a Dr. Laas slanted her a grateful glance. aI will have to go in surgically. The question is whether I can remove the implants at alla"they might have tied them to vital functions.a A muscle in Aidenas throat moved. aIn other words, removing them could kill him.a aYes.a Dr. Laasa eyes were somber.
aTheyare killing him now,a Brianne pointed out.
aSo Iall have to take the risk.a Dr. Laas got briskly to her feet. She pulled Aiden against her in a fond hug, kissing the top of his head. aIall do my best, Aiden, donat you worry.a Brianneas concern ran to more practical matters. aWhere will you do the surgery? Youall need to take him somewhere, and I gather youare not exactly free to come and go as you please.a Dr. Laas focused on her. aMy dear, I am outlawed. If anyone finds out Iam still alive and on Bor Narga, my termination will be immediate. The statute of limitations on me hasnat run out yet.a As Brianne absorbed this, Calder said, aSheas a daAroth.a aReally?a Dr. Laas peered at Brianne like she was a unique specimen. aA daAroth who likes Shareem. How interesting.a Brianne blushed, and Dr. Laas grinned suddenly. aLucky you. I donat have to take him anywhere, I can do the surgery right here. Thatas what Baine and transport devices are for. That is, if I can find an uncluttered surface on which to lay him. The researchers never thought to breed tidiness into Shareem. Such an oversight.a So saying, she hauled open the bag shead brought with her and removed a small rectangular surface about two feet square. She set this the middle of the room and pulled out a handheld. aOrient on me, please, Baine. Iall needaa She trailed off into technical jargon and soon had a pile of accoutrements glittering on the transport pad. She sorted through these while Calder and Rees cleared off Kyas bed and Aiden lifted him gently onto it.
Ky moaned as Aiden laid him down and the sheets quickly soaked with blood. Ky reached up and touched Aidenas lips. aNot your fault.a aYou should have told me,a Aiden said softly.
aThought it didnat matter anymore. I guess my statute of limitationsadidnat run out.a He tried to grin then drifted into unconsciousness.
aGood,a Dr. Laas said briskly. aEasier if heas already out. The rest of you clear off. I donat need Shareem falling over when I start digging into him. The room is too small.a * * * * *
For three hours, Brianne and Aiden waited in the living room while Dr. Laas worked behind Kyas closed bedroom door. They heard no noise from the bedroom, no indication whether her surgery was working or if Ky lay dying even now.
Calder waited with them, a silent hulk of man sitting in a chair, long legs stretched out in front of him. He never removed his face covering. Rees paced for a time, then moved to the tiny window in the back, leaning against the frame.
At first Brianne absently began to tidy the living room, putting away the lube and rearranging the pillows, but after the first half-hour, she gave up and came to sit beside Aiden on the couch. Aiden sat as one stunned, his Shareem blue eyes fixed, his mouth twisted in worry.
By the end of the second hour, Aiden had gathered Brianne into his lap and held her close. He buried his face in her neck, his hot tears dripping onto her skin. She rested against him, trying to comfort him, as grief-stricken as he was.
When the door finally slid back Brianne sprang nervously to her feet and Rees turned. Aiden stood up behind her, his hands moving to her waist. Calder rose more slowly, but his gaze fastened to Dr. Laas as avidly.
Dr. Laas sighed and scrubbed her hand through her hair. The skin around her eyes was tight and her mouth drooped in exhaustion.
aWell,a she said. aIt was tough, but I got aem.a Brianne let out the breath she was holding and heard Aidenas loud exhale of relief. She turned and hugged him, Aidenas strong arms going around her tight, tight.
Dr. Laas sank into the chair Calder had vacated and sighed again. aI forget Iam such a genius until a real challenge comes along. The little b.u.g.g.e.rs were built with defenses and the ability to lay dormant for decades. But I found them all. Takes more than microscopic computers to get the better of me.a She spoke brightly, but her eyelids drooped and Brianne sensed her tension. Shead been scared she wouldnat succeed.
aThank you,a Brianne said.
aYouare welcome, my dear.a Aiden rose in silence and went into the bedroom, the door shutting behind him.
aKyas all right now?a Rees asked.
aHe will be. Back to normal. Well, as normal as a Shareem can be.a Calder shot another suspicious glance at Brianne and wouldnat look at Dr. Laas at all. aIf heas all right, Iall go. I have an appointment.a Brianne rose. aThank you for your help, Calder.a She stuck out her hand.
Calder gave it a bemused glance then clasped it in silence, his grip strong. He walked out of the apartment without a backward glance, hot air from the hall whooshing in before the door closed again.
Reesas lips quirked in a half-smile. aHeas softening toward you.a aThat was softening?a Brianne asked.
aYes. But I meant toward Dr. Laas.a Brianne gave Dr. Laas a puzzled look. aMy question stands. That was softening?a Dr. Laas smiled tiredly. aCalder is the way he is because of me. Oh, not because I pushed him into the plasma fire that burned him or anything. Because I saved his life. I couldnat save him all the way, and that makes him angry.a aWhy? You could have let him die.a aAt first he fought to live. He was so strong, I couldnat believe he survived at all. But once he saw what I did to him, he wished Iad let him die. Twenty years and he still hasnat forgiven me.a Brianne glanced at the door through which Calder had just departed. aIs it that bad?a aHe was burned to the bone,a Dr Laas said. aI had to practically rebuild hima"insert robotic parts in places and grow new skin for him and things like that.a aThe essentials seem to work,a Rees put in.
aOh yes. So now he calls himself The Beast and women pay a fortune to be with him.a Dr. Laas sighed and ran her hands through her hair. aHeas lonely, like the rest of them. Iam glad Aiden and Ky have found each other.a Brianne was too, but she would miss them. Shead return to her board meetings and her causes and this week would become a distant and pleasant memory.
The bedroom door slid open. Aiden stood in it, his eyes soft. aBrianne,a he said. aHeas asking for you.a She was across the room and through the door so fast that she heard Dr. Laas chuckle behind her.
Ky lay on his back, his breathing rapid but better than it had been. His hair had been pulled into a loose tail that lay across his torso, and his eyes were calm and clear. Dr. Laas had cleaned the blood from him, but his body bore small pink scars where shead cut into him.
When he saw Brianne, he smiled tiredly and held out his hand. aThereas my girl.a Brianne clasped his fingers. aI thought wead lost you.a aIam right here, darling. And Iall be up spanking you soon, donat worry.a aAfter he rests,a Aiden said sternly.
aI heal fast, and Iam not going anywhere. I have all I need right here.a He squeezed Brianneas hand.
aWill you tell us what happened?a Brianne asked. aWhy they put those things in you, those nano-computers?a aYeah, Iad like to know that too,a Aiden said.
Ky hesitated. aDr. Laas didnat tell you?a aNo.a Brianne kissed his fingers, so happy that they were still warm and strong. aI donat think she knows the whole story.a Ky closed his eyes a moment and drew a breath. The sheet covering his naked body rose and fell, and when he opened his eyes again, they held sadness.
aAll right, Iall tell you. Iave never wanted to talk about ita"the pain would start when I even thought about talking about ita"but you should know.a
Chapter Thirteen.
Kyas Story.
aDo you remember a Shareem called Meyet?a Ky had propped himself up on pillows, his Shareem strength already beginning to heal him. Brianne snuggled against him on one side while Aiden sat across the foot of his bed, back to the wall.
Head invited the others in to hear the tale. Dr. Laas had made herself comfortable on the only chair and Rees leaned against the doorframe. The room smelled a bit of disinfectant and Brianne itched to grab one of Aidenas bottles of oil and open it to scent the air.
Rees nodded briefly, and so did Dr. Laas. Aiden said, aHe was a friend of yours at DNAmo. He got auctioned off and went off-planet.a aHe didnat go off-planet,a Ky said. aHe died. Because of me.a Aiden shot him a look.
Rees said, aDNAmoas experiments werenat your fault, Ky. Trust me, I know all about their experiments.a Ky shook his head. aNo, I knew how dangerous it was. I tried to warn him, but I was in love with hima"no, Iall face it, I was in l.u.s.t with him. I know the difference now. He was a level one.a Aiden smiled gently at him. aYou have a thing for level ones?a aI didnat have a thing for any Shareem.a His voice grated. aUntil one day a couple scientists got the great idea to see if two male Shareem would interact s.e.xually. Meyet and I didnat really know each other and we didnat know what the experiment was going to be. The researchers put us in a room together, supplying food and water and a comfortable bed, and left us alone for two weeks. I mean totally alone. We didnat see anyone but each other.a aThey imprisoned you?a Brianne asked. aWhy?a aTo see what wead do.a Aiden broke in. aShareem have to release s.e.xually every day or we die. Our bodies heat upa"and heat upa"until we release, either with full-blown s.e.x or s.e.xual play. DNAmo hired women to help out with that in the name of science. But if we formed attachments to any of the ladies, they disappeared and we never saw them again. DNAmo wanted us to keep everything distant and casual.a aThatas cruel,a Brianne flared.
aWell, yeah,a Aiden said. aBut weare only Shareem, right?a Brianne quieted, more determined than ever to put everything right for them.
aSo you can see why being stuck in a room alone for two weeks was dangerous,a Ky went on. aWe could release using our hands, but that got old fast. So one day when we were looking at each other we started wondering what it would be like. We talked about what we could do then we started doing it.
aAt first it was little things like touching each other and helping bring each other off, then we tried going down on each other. We liked that and we went on from there to full-force s.e.x. We figured if we had to be stuck in that boring room forever, we might as well enjoy ourselves.
aThe researchers watched. We knew that, but itas easy to forget when you never see or hear the watchers. Pretty soon we were having some pretty magnificent s.e.x. He was a master with his tongue, and I could see why women adored being with him.
aWe started to enjoy it. Wead wake up planning what wead try that day. Or head take over for the whole day and ma.s.sage me and touch me with his level one hands. It felt so d.a.m.n good. Or Iad take over and make him my sub. Trust me, I made him do everything you can imagine.a Brianne pictured the two of them locked in the small room, meeting in the middle, their eyes blue with arousal. The two men kissing, lips and tongues tangling, hands moving on each otheras bodies. Ky spreading his legs and ordering Meyet to kneel behind him, part his cheeks and licka He was a master with his tongue.
And then Ky lying on the bed while Meyet ran his palms all over Kyas skin, ma.s.saging and stroking as Aiden had done to her. Her next vision put Ky with a strap in his hand, kneeling over Meyet on all fours on the bed, Kyas c.o.c.k gleaming with lube as he pressed it into Meyetas a.s.s.
The researchers had watched all this, through hidden cameras most likely, their Shareem performing for them.
aWhat did Meyet look like?a she asked suddenly.
She tried to sound innocent, but Aiden grinned. aI think your story is heating her up.a Ky stirred and Aiden shifted position. Even Rees looked uncomfortable. Brianne realized that the conversation had triggered her pheromones, which triggered Kyas, touched Aiden, then Rees.
aHe had dark red hair. Fairly dark skin. A little shorter than me and not so big. Much better-looking than me. He wasa"nice.a aIam sorry,a Brianne said quickly. aI shouldnat ask.a Ky shook his head. aI think head like knowing we still got turned on thinking about him. He was d.a.m.ned good at s.e.x. We werenat sure whethera"if we ever got out of therea"wead keep our discovery of each other a secret or tell other Shareem and get them interested too. An all-Shareem orgy was tempting. We decided to keep it to ourselves for a while and tell others gradually, maybe seducing them one at a time.a aYou sure did keep it to yourself,a Aiden said.
aThis was before we became friends. Although I had my eye on you as one to seduce.a aReally?a Aiden laughed. aCouldnat resist me even then, could you?a Rees eyed Ky curiously. aWhat did you think about me?a Ky shook his head. aSorry. I didnat know you existed then. They kept you behind closed doors.a aTrue. Iam kind of surprised they didnat try the experiment on me. They tried so many others.a aIt wouldnat have worked,a Ky predicted. aI heard about some of the things you did. Youad probably have ended up with five women locked in with you willing to do anything you and the other Shareem required.a Rees smiled. aYouare probably right.a aOne day youall have to tell me how you did all those things.a The smile turned mysterious. aOne day.a aWhat happened next?a Brianne prompted, snaking her hand down to clasp his. aThey let you out, presumably.a Kyas expression went bleak. aYou bet they did. Just about the time Meyet and I were really enjoying ourselves, they rolled back the doors and kicked us out without a word of explanation. Experiment done.
aWe went back to our usual routine, but we couldnat keep away from each other. We found we liked to keep our encounters secret. It was fun to haul his b.u.t.t into a closet or an empty lab room and have wild s.e.x before we strolled away oh-so casually.
aWead meet in the middle of the night or the middle of the afternoona"in the middle of just about anything. We were crazy about each other. Because we were both strong Shareem we could be rougher than we could with women, and we liked that too. You name it, we did it to each other. It almost made living at DNAmo worth it.a Aidenas brows lifted. aAlmost?a Brianne wondered whether Aiden felt jealousy hearing Ky describe his past encounters, but the look he gave Ky bore only tender relief. Shareem were like that, she was learning, able to not let the past mar their present or future.
Rees shifted against the door. aIam betting there was no way the researchers let you be happy. They didnat have it in them.a Ky grew somber. aMeyet and I found out too late that we were part of a two-step experiment. Part one, Given the chance, will Shareem want to have s.e.x with each other? Answer, Yes. Part two, How are we going to stop them?a aOh no,a Brianne breathed. aBecause Shareem were created to pleasure only women.a aOh yes,a Dr. Laas put in, her tone acid. aDNAmo was making a fortune breeding the perfect pleasure slaves for wealthy women. With all that s.e.xiness bred into them, it was logical that they might start experimenting on each other, and maybe prefer it over what they were supposed to do. And DNAmo might lose money.a aThe G.o.ds forbid,a Rees said.
aSo we had to be stopped,a Ky finished.
Brianne shuddered. aWith the nano-computers?a aThey tried psychological conditioning first. They put us back into the same room and left us alone again. We were thrilled and started f.u.c.king right away. Then they punished us. First with shocks or loud noise, then with food deprivation.
aWe agreed to stop while we were in the room so they wouldnat hurt us. That was hard because we were back to our hands alone for release, but they let us out soon, thinking theyad taught us a lesson. But theyad only taught us not to do it in the experiment room or where they could catch us.a Aiden snorted. aIdiots. DNAmo scientists had egos so big they couldnat see anything in front of them. Oh sorry, Dr. Laas.a aI agree with you,a Dr. Laas said crisply. aThey were idiots.a Ky continued. aMeyet and I kept on meeting whenever we could. I donat know if we were in love, but we couldnat keep our hands off each other. I only did it with him, but he started seducing other Shareem. I donat know how many of them he snagged, but he was having fun. I didnat minda"like I said, I donat think I was really in love with him.
aThen one day the researchers came into my room and knocked me out with anesthetic. I didnat think anything about it, because they did it all the time for experimental techniques on our bodies.
aWhen I woke up I didnat feel any different, and they didnat tell me what they did. I didnat realize what had happened until I met Meyet a few days later, and we started playing. I felt a tingle in my arm but I was too distracted to pay attention. All the sudden it was full-blown pain, so bad I was screaming.
aI recovered, but it took a while. The researchers told me, smiling like they were so d.a.m.n clever, that theyad given me implants to counteract my abehaviora. They told me that any time I started with Meyet, the nano-computers would trigger and start to tear me apart from the inside. Scared the s.h.i.t out of me.
aMeyet hadnat felt anything, and the researchers told me they hadnat doctored him. Theyad figured only one of us was enough to teach us to lay off.
aMeyet had already started having s.e.x with other Shareem. I warned him to stop before they got him too, but he didnat. One day a Shareem head been with came and got me, scared to death. We found Meyet in an unused room rolling around on the floor, blood everywhere, kind of like you found me. We got him to the medic, and they tried to turn off the implants and stop the bleeding, but they couldnat. Whatever system they used on us hadnat been tested and they didnat know how to control it.
aSo Meyet died. The researchers kept it quiet, telling everyone head been auctioned off and sent off-planet. They threatened me and the Shareem whoad found hima"who conveniently disappeared off-planet soon aftera"not to say anything. They said they couldnat take the implants out of me without killing me, but as long as I didnat try to have s.e.x with a Shareem Iad be all right. They made me sign something swearing I wouldnat tell anyone else on threat of termination.a aThey never asked me,a Dr. Laas broke in. aI could have gotten the implants out. I didnat know about the experiment until a long time later, after DNAmo shut down. And I didnat realize it was Ky theyad experimented on until recently.a aWhen Rio told youaa aRio, who canat keep his mouth shut,a Aiden growled.
aIam glad he didnat keep the secret,a Brianne said, running her fingers across Kyas chest. aIt saved you.a aYeah, well, Iall talk to him later,a Ky said. aThe implants worked in one sensea"I never wanted to do what I did with Meyet again. I moved in with Aiden and we got along fine. It was good to have a friend. I never felt the pain again and after a while I a.s.sumed the implants had ceased to function.a aUntil we started,a Aiden said.
aExactly,a Ky finished.
The room went silent. Aiden folded his arms, meeting Kyas gaze. aYou should have told me.a aI know. Like I said, I couldnat talk about Meyet and what happened for a long time. But I should have tried. For a while I hoped it didnat matter, but I didnat realize the d.a.m.ned implants would last twenty years.a aYou wonat have to worry about them now,a Dr. Laas said. aI found all the nano-computers and destroyed them. I know why DNAmo never told me about thema"they knew Iad pitch a fit. Genetic research and discovery is one thing, torture and manipulation is another. a.s.sholes.a Ky grinned at her. aI always liked your att.i.tude.a aShareem were my idea, the culmination of a dream. I care about the wellbeing of all of you, even if Iam stuck hiding out in a compound.a Aiden blew her a kiss. aAnd we love you.a aMost of you do.a She stood up and brushed off her pantsuit. aTime to take me back to my dungeon, Rees. Lady daAroth, walk out with me.a Brianne pressed a kiss to Kyas cheek and scrambled off the bed. She followed Dr. Laas and Rees to the living room, closing the door on Aiden and Ky, who still stared at each other.
Rees, enigmatic as ever, stood behind Dr. Laas, arms folded across his ma.s.sive chest, eyes quiet.
aTake care of them,a Dr. Laas said to Brianne.
aKy and Aiden? I will. I plan to stay here until Ky gets better.a aThatas good, but I meant all my Shareem. I can only help them indirectly, when they come to me. Talan does what she can, and Nella is trying on Ariel, but you, my dear, are a daAroth.a aI have some ideas,a Brianne promised her.
Dr. Laas closed her hand on Brianneas. aIt will be hard. Shareem are feared for what they are. You will have to battle that.a aI know.a aI will help as I can. My compound is a refuge and only Shareem know where it is. I wonat tell you how to find it, but if you need to, one of them will bring you to me.a aThank you,a Brianne said sincerely. aThank you for saving Ky.a Dr. Laas eyed her speculatively. aYou really care for him?a aYes. And Aiden.a Dr. Laas smiled. aWell, I can think of worse relationships to be in than with two Shareem. Good luck, my dear.a She swathed herself in robes again, donned sun-blocking goggles and followed Rees out into the waning afternoon.
Inside the bedroom Aiden and Ky sat silently. Aiden laid his hand on Kyas leg, his hand warm through the bedcovers.
Aiden smiled, eyes watchful. aAnd here I worried that if you knew I was getting hard for you, youad leave town.a Ky threaded his fingers through Aidenas. aI thought maybe if we just played a little nothing would happen. I didnat know it would get serious.a aThat sucks about Meyet dying. Iam sorry.a Ky remembered Meyetas warm red hair, his blue eyes, his laughter. The way head groan when Ky entered him, thatas it, right there, G.o.ds, donat stop.
aI donat think I loved him, although I thought so then. I was excited by him, and man, could he spur my imagination. But itas different this time.a aThis time?a Ky slanted Aiden a look. aWith you, a.s.shole. Weave been friends for twenty years, and you know me better than anyone. The things I think of doing with you areaa Aidenas eyes grew more blue. aAre what? Tell me, baby.a aExplosive. I want to feel you moving under me, hear you begging for me.a aBegging like a sub?a Aiden grinned. aI have power of my own, big bad Dom. I can lay you flat with just a touch.a aIam looking forward to it.a Aiden slid his hand to Kyas groin, looking pleased to find him hard. aSo am I. As long as youare really all right.a aIf Dr. Laas says she got all the implants, she got them all.a aThank the G.o.ds for Dr. Laas.a aSheas responsible for us existing at all,a Ky pointed out.
aBut I like existing. Life at DNAmo was bad and people still treat us like s.h.i.t, but I have you and Judithas bar and the bathhouse and life as a s.e.x toy. Itas not all bad.a aAnd Brianne.a Aiden looked thoughtful. aBrianne. What are we going to do about her?a Ky shrugged. aSpank her, lick her, f.u.c.k her. You do level one on her, Iall do level three. Whatas the problem?a aIave gotten attached to her. So much that I donat want to un-attach from her.a aYeah, but sheas highborn, sheas in the ruling family, and after what she saw today, she might be finished with us.a He grunted. aI told her Iad show her what Shareem were really like, and I guess I did. I probably ruined her crusade to save us.a aI donat know. She was worried about you.a aSheas not like us,a Ky said. aSheas soft and spoiled. Not resilient.a Aiden shot him an incredulous look. aYouare kidding, right? After the train, and you taking her to the dungeon, and me giving her her first f.u.c.k while she sucked on you? Her first time, and it was a mnage. She survived all that and she came running down here to find me when she feared you were in danger. Iad say sheas resilient.a aMaybe Iam just trying to let myself down easy. Iall miss her.a d.a.m.n, but he would. He remembered her wriggling and swaying in the train as he and Aiden stroked her, remembered her look of pure pleasure when she bent over him in the train compartment going home. The rapture in her eyes when Aiden slid inside her and the eagerness with which she turned to enclose Kyas c.o.c.k with her mouth.
He liked seeing her a.s.s cherry-red after he spanked her, and he wanted to plant himself inside it. Head have to use Aiden to relax her before he could, because she was an a.s.s virgin.
He grinned. a.s.s virgin. Did he just coin a term? Head never been with a woman who hadnat been with Shareem before. They usually started at level one and worked their way up.
Aidenas smile widened. aYouare thinking about it, arenat you?a aThinking about what? f.u.c.king her? What else would I think about?a aI meant asking her to stay.a Ky came back to reality. aShe wonat. She might think it would be fun for a while, but she wonat.a Aiden hauled himself off the bed. aIall ask her.a aWhat, you mean right now?a aWe wonat know what she wants until we do.a aLet it go, Aiden.a Aiden turned around. His big, handsome body was heating upa"Ky could feel the pheromones already pouring off him. aScrew you. I let it go for twenty years, and I almost lost you before I could say, I love you, Ky. Iam not letting this go.a Ky stilled. aTwenty years? You were thinking about doing me for twenty years?a ah.e.l.l yes. Why do you think I wanted us to live together?a Ky tried a smile, but his mouth wasnat cooperating. aI thought it was my stunning personality.a aNo, it was your stunning c.o.c.k. I knew youad freak if you knew what I was thinking, and I figured having threesomes with you was the next best thing.a He wet his lips. aAnd it has been.a Ky thought about the number of times the two of them had been inside a womana"or twoa"Aidenas hand planted on Kyas a.s.s, or Aidenas arms around him with the lady in the middle.
