Alcandian Soul Read online

  Cassandra sighed as she gripped both warriors. Her warriors.

  * * * * *

  “You are sure the medical official checked everything?” Dyne gritted his teeth as his mother demanded the same information from him, once again. Cambria refused to be denied, stepping right up next to him to make sure she heard his answer.

  “Yes, Mother. I would never have left with even a single doubt. Once was more than enough for me. I believe I will enjoy it if our lives are bland and uneventful hence forward.”

  Paneil offered him a sympathetic look. “I can well imagine. But the council that ordered her transport here should have considered something like this.”

  Cole flinched. There was one major advantage to the Alcandians being in contact with Earth. Any woman brought through the wormhole arrived with a full background that included medical files. Hell, his own sister had been processed through that system but Cassandra hadn’t. The lack of consideration he and the rest of the Judgment Council paid to that had almost been fatal. One of the hazards of enhanced food through gene splicing was that sometimes humans with allergies didn’t fare well. Cassandra’s system had responded to her breakfast the same way it would if a fire ant bit her. A simple injection was enough to recode the immune system. He’d had that same injection the first time he’d stepped onto Alcandar. He’d failed to remember that fact in a timely fashion. Dyne flashed him a hard look.

  “You still think as a lone warrior too much.”

  Cole shrugged. “When it comes to Cassandra, I’m afraid it’s going to take a lot of practice to stop. I’m human. I should have remembered.”

  “And I was greeting you when you arrived that first time. I should have recalled policy.”

  Dyne clutched his jaw tighter as the two mothers fluttered around Cassandra. She was still sleeping, but the two females refused to leave. At least that was something Cole understood. He’d tolerate their fussing just as long as he could watch Cassandra’s lungs working. His heart was still weak from the shock of finding her gasping for breath on the floor of the women’s hall. It was a sight he was sure was branded into his memory. He was also certain that he’d never once been so scared in his entire life. A gun threatening his head didn’t pack nearly a tenth of the impact watching Cassandra battle to survive had.

  And the culprit had been his own stupidity.

  “She needs rest,” Dyne growled and both mothers jumped. They shared a long glance with one another before Cambria grasped Paneil’s hand.

  “We will let her rest. The Yedith will return tomorrow to hear your vows.”

  Neither Cole nor Dyne was interested in missing their first set of vows. It wasn’t a reluctance to commit that made them that way, it was the facts surrounding the delay. Cole sat on the edge of Cassandra’s bed and stroked her arm. She sighed and turned towards him. It was an unconscious motion born from trust. He couldn’t help but grin as the way she snuggled closer to his frame. Alcandian tradition said he should not be in her bed if he hadn’t faced the Yedith, but he needed to be near her. The formal vows could wait. Tonight marked the time that he and Dyne were expected to stand in front of their peers and declare that they held no commitments to any other. Cassandra was expected to join them in declaring herself free to bind with them if she decided to do so.

  Dyne snarled softly before he joined them on the other side of the bed. His hand landed on the curve of Cassandra’s hip, stroking her gently as she sighed again. “Since you are human, I agree that our binding should be a merging of both our traditions.” It was more excuse than fact but Dyne was content with it. It was not as if either he or Cole intended dishonor to Cassandra. He would gladly bind with her tonight if that were her wish. The merging of their thoughts was more than sufficient to convince him. For a male who had grown up among the harsh reality of an unbalanced gender population, he considered the growing binding fever the most precious of gifts.

  Dyne fully intended to treasure it accordingly.

  “I’m not leaving her tonight either, the Yedith be damned.” Cole stared straight at Dyne as he spoke. Alcandian tradition or not, he was honest enough to admit his intentions.

  Dyne clicked his tongue in reprimand. “Careful, Cole. I understand Paneil has decided to call Cassandra daughter.”

  Cole narrowed his eyes, but couldn’t hold on to his displeasure when Cassandra sighed and snuggled right up against him. He stared in stunned delight as one of her hands reached for him and landed on top of his hand. She rubbed her cheek against the bedding before frowning and wiggling closer to his body. Dyne grinned at the little unconscious motions. Trust wasn’t something you could force. It either grew or it didn’t. Tonight, even Cassandra couldn’t control her response as she snuggled up against them both and sighed with enjoyment.

  It was the sweetest damn sound either male had ever heard.

  * * * * *

  She ached.

  Cassandra opened her eyes and softly moaned. Her brain was working a little too well, offering up the memory of what had made her body so sore. An extreme reaction like that drew every muscle into tight straining cords that would hurt like hell for the next few days.

  But she was still alive. That was a surprise. So was the warm skin beneath her hand. Crisp hair met her fingers as Cole stirred. The room was dark but the flash of blue in his eyes lit it up for a moment. A warm hand clasped hers as she caught the hint of a grin on his lips.

  “Is that always going to happen? The blue light?”

  Her voice was husky from the reaction. Cassandra swallowed as Dyne moved slightly behind her. She was lying between them on the circular bed. She knew it was Dyne behind her, she could actually tell by his scent. Cole’s mixed with it inside her lungs, triggering a response from her body. Sensation tingled all over her skin as it begged to be stroked.

  “Yes. It is something only mind-bridging mates can see in each other.” Dyne placed a kiss on her shoulder as he answered her. Cole watched her in the dark as Dyne slid his hand down her arm. The grin grew broader as Cole lifted her hand and gently bit the sensitive skin of her inner wrist.

  “I’m still learning about it myself. But I see it in your eyes too.”

  Cassandra suddenly realized that she was completely naked. It wasn’t shock that alerted her to her lack of clothing, it was pure delight. Her skin was ultrasensitive. She could feel the body heat of her two bed partners, and every inch of her wanted to be in contact with their bare skin.

  But both warriors were still wearing their pants. That fact drilled into her heart. The respect they demonstrated by keeping their pants on filled her with a sense of being cherished.

  She suddenly detested those pants. Cole licked the spot on her wrist that he’d bitten. She shivered as pleasure raced down her arm, raising goose bumps along the limb. Her clit throbbed, making her want to shift her thighs so that they might open and allow the little bundle of nerve endings to be touched again. Dyne’s hands tightened on her hip as he leaned over her and drew a deep breath into his chest. His eyes opened and blue electricity shot through them. A deep male groan made her shift as he smoothed his hand over her lower belly.

  “The scent of your body drives me insane.” It was a hard statement of fact. Dyne didn’t think that he’d ever been tested so greatly before. His cock was harder than he could ever recall it being. The scent from her body rose to taunt him with the knowledge that she was wet in response to her mates. Dark urges tried to overpower every principle he owned. “If you wish us to leave, heloni, say so now.”

  It was an impossible order to force past the heat rising in her blood. Her body vetoed anything that might separate her from the two males. Her hands reached for each one, a little sigh of delight moving through her lips as her fingers stroked hard chests coated in crisp hair. That hair appealed to her immensely just then, it made them more male, stronger and better suited as lovers.

  Cole caught her chin and angled her face towards his. She shivered as Dyne’s hand on her belly pressed her fl
at onto her back. Both males were propped up and leaning over her. A little wave of apprehension swept through her. She was so exposed right then. Both men were shadows, but that made it ultra-exciting because they were hidden there in the night, with no rules. Temptation taunted her with the fact that she could simply indulge and let them cater to her passion.

  “Silence isn’t good enough, Cassandra.” Cole’s breath teased her lips and the sensitive skin begged for a kiss. Cole denied her that as he impressed his will on her. “Tell us to make love to you.” He pressed a single kiss onto her mouth. “Say yes.”

  Dyne’s hand hovered at the top of her recently bared mons. He didn’t touch the newly exposed skin, and her clit twisted with need as Dyne turned his attention to her face. Blue fire crackled through his eyes as he denied her any further stroking until she granted them both a verbal agreement. A declaration really. Maybe they were encased in the night, but between them her consent would be remembered. There would be no turning back once she admitted to her need for them.

  “Yes.” She refused to think about her choice. The word felt so completely right on her tongue as she moved her hands down both chests to their flat abdomens. She didn’t want to lie between them, accepting their touch without stimulating them in return. If she was going out of control, she desperately needed company in the raging storm of need. Instead of surrender, she felt like she was stepping into the vortex at the center of a flame to join the pulsing energy that produced the brilliant light. Her hands slid over the hard bulges of each male’s cock. Two swift intakes of breath marked a moment when the balance shifted and she took up an equal position in their relationship. She would never be used by her captors, but she willingly joined her lovers.

  Dyne’s hand slid smoothly over her bare mons. A little gasp caught on her lips as pleasure spiraled into her sheath. She would have waxed years ago if she’d had any clue it would feel so intense. But it was more than that. She sensed that truth, but at the moment her brain didn’t want to think. Sensation swept away every idea, except to explore the prime examples of maleness within reach.

  Cole loomed over her and pressed a hard kiss onto her mouth. His tongue moved over her lower lip before he cupped the back of her neck and lifted gently to tip her head back. He pressed her jaw open to allow his tongue to thrust deep into her mouth, stroking along the length of hers as she tangled hers against his.

  Her body shifted as a finger entered her slit. Dyne turned and she lost his cock as he lifted her left leg up and over his shoulder. He spread her thighs wide as he gently rubbed her clit. Pleasure twisted through her as she felt his breath hit her delicate center. A whimper left her mouth as he spread her slit wide and licked her clit. His tongue was almost too hot, but the sudden contact made her jerk as her body tried to press up towards his mouth. Cole chuckled as he lifted his mouth away from hers.

  “Be careful, Cassandra. Remember, a threesome union is considered kinky back on Earth.”

  She punched him in response. Cole pinched her nipple in retaliation. Leaning over her torso, he captured a hard tip between his lips to suckle. A shiver went through her as his hands gripped her chest to keep her breasts in place for his feasting.

  Kinky or not, she was dying and happy to go. Dyne’s tongue flicked over her clit as her passage tightened and screamed for just a single finger to fill it. Need burned through her as Cole licked and sucked one nipple while the twin complained bitterly. Dyne slowly fingered the opening to her body as her hips lifted towards his mouth. She felt torn to the edges of control, unable to wait another second for complete penetration.

  “I cannot wait.” Dyne rose above her and Cole released her breast as Dyne clasped her chin and leaned over her. His chest hair teased her nipples, making her lift towards his body. There was a harsh note in his voice that should have frightened her, since he was pressing her down, but all it did was drive her need deeper into her belly. Her womb ached as she whimpered. Dyne captured her wrists and pressed them to the surface of the bed above her head. His hips spread her thighs wide. He still wore his pants but he’d pushed the baggy waist below his cock because the head nudged the wet opening to her body.

  “Tell me yes again, heloni. Tell me to claim your body completely.”

  His hands tightened around her wrists as she lifted her hips towards the promise of his hard cock. Blue electricity flashed through his eyes as she opened hers to stare at him. “Yes.”

  His powerful body moved between her thighs as she clasped him towards her. He didn’t thrust hard into her. Dyne growled softly as he slowly pushed his length into her. Her passage ached as it was stretched around his width, but the desire to be filled overrode the sting.

  “Jessica told me you were not a maiden.” Dyne froze only partway into her sheath. Cassandra hissed as he held her still beneath his body. Even in the dark she saw the deep frown on his face. “Your body is too tight.”

  “It’s just been a long time.” And along with those large bodies, went large cocks. At that moment, she craved being stretched on Dyne’s.

  Dyne’s hands shook as he remained frozen. Her body was relaxing around his cock, stretching to accommodate the penetration. He leaned down and gently kissed her as she panted. “Causing you pain is the furthest thing from my desire, heloni.”

  “I’m all grown up, Dyne. Either finish the job or move aside and let Cole have a turn.”

  She heard Cole snicker next to her head. Looking up, she caught him watching the way Dyne’s cock was sinking into her body. It should have shocked her, to be on display like that, but it sent a bolt of excitement into her belly. Somehow, he belonged right there. Both men were inside her head as Dyne pulled free of her body and thrust slowly back into her.

  “Better, Dyne.”

  He growled softly before kissing her. His hips flexed as he began to ride her with slow strokes. Her body wanted to rush towards release but Dyne refused to allow her any control over the pace. He worked his cock in and out, sinking farther into her body with each thrust. Her eyelids fluttered shut, but both males were firmly linked with her mind. They felt her pleasure rising and cresting into a wave that broke over her body. Dyne tried to avoid being swept into the tumbling current, but his cock thrust deep and she felt his seed begin to spill inside her. The hot spurt of his climax sent her passage into a crazy little contraction. The muscles of her pussy actually tried to milk his length. Pleasure slammed into her brain so hard, she lost track of everything except the pulsing sensation gripping her lower body.

  Dyne muttered in Alcandian as he collapsed onto his elbows over her. It took a great effort for the warrior to roll aside and not land on top of her. Cassandra rolled over onto her stomach the moment she was free. Cole was still watching her and something flashed inside her brain, a need to push him towards the sort of pleasure he’d just witnessed her being ridden to.

  Reaching for his pants, she pulled the waistband down to free his cock. The large staff sprung up from his belly, the head swollen and hard. Stroking the ridge of flesh that went around the head, she leaned forward to lick the slit. Cole groaned through clenched teeth as she trailed her tongue over the head and down the underside of the staff. One of his hands caught her hair and lifted it away from her face as she opened her jaw to take his cock into her mouth.

  Sucking cock had never been so good. With their minds merging, she felt the little nips of pleasure her mouth sent through Cole’s length. She took more of his cock deeper into her mouth as he groaned and Dyne’s hand landed on her bottom. Despite being satisfied, her passion began to simmer once again as she worked her fingers over the portion of flesh she couldn’t take between her lips. Dyne stroked her bottom and teased her back entrance, startling her.

  Cole groaned as his cock slipped free from her grasp. She pushed back onto her knees to protect that one forbidden area. Cole reached across the space between them and lifted her. He pulled her towards his body, until her thighs spread wide around his hips and his cock began to enter her. He w
as kneeling on the bed, and Dyne appeared behind her to hold her up as she was lowered onto his length.

  “You’ll learn to crave double penetration.” Cole grasped her hips as she was lowered onto his cock completely. His hands were fashioned around each hip as he began to pull her up and off his cock. Dyne stroked her bottom before teasing her ass with one finger. Fluid coated her completely from his possession and he fingered the opening, pressing the tip of one finger into her.

  “I don’t think so.” She tried to sound firm, but her body quivered with uncertainty. Her clit was throbbing with delight as Cole worked her up and down.

  “I do.” Cole’s voice was edged with demand. “Think about it, Cassandra. Both of us inside you at the same time. We’d all climax together.”

  “Oh sweet God.” The idea was so tempting. She just wasn’t sure she could survive. Cole slid her down his length as Dyne thrust one finger completely into her ass. It pressed the cock in her pussy against her clit, and she shivered as climax began to tingle through her. Cole lifted her and Dyne pressed two fingers up into her as she was pressed down onto Cole’s cock once more. There was no holding off the climax. It ripped through her as Dyne fingered her bottom. Cole lost his grip on control just as Dyne had and his seed pumped up into her womb as her pussy milked him.

  Satisfaction dragged her under, and she floated in the warm current of sensation. All that mattered were the strong hands that soothed her tired body into alignment with theirs. Cassandra lost track of where her body ended and her lovers’ began. Legs were draped and tangled together as her head lay on one shoulder and her breast was cupped in a strong male hand with a thumb gently brushing the top of the nipple. Their breathing echoed each other as their thoughts remained a mixture of all three. True intimacy surrounded her as she drifted into a deep slumber where there was no question of struggle.
