Chapter 9 #3
“Speak for yourself.” Kai kissed Anna Lee’s hair again, and Rehz’s hand curled into a fist. “If I had a chance with Lee? I’d take it.
She’s probably the only female on this planet who’d understand what I’d been through.
” His green eyes met Rehz’s. “Don’t be a fucking idiot, Rehz.
You’re free of the service for the first time in your life, and you have the chance to be with Lee?
Go for it, my man. Don’t let anything stand in your way. ”
“It’s not that simple.”
“Yeah, it is. And if you don’t see that soon, I’m going to show you how it’s done.” He leaned forward and deposited Anna in Rehz’s lap. “Now how about you hold her before you lose it and punch me in the face, Mister I don’t care about Lee?”
Rehz adjusted Anna’s sleeping form until she was close to his heart, and bent his head to inhale her scent. Was it possible that she wanted more from him? Was he even capable of giving her more? There was only one way to find out.
That would have to wait until Kai went home and Lee woke up.
And he got over the fact that he was fucking terrified.
Rehz carried Anna out of the vehicle and right up to his apartment. She only stirred as he laid her down on her bed. He crouched down next to her and smoothed her long, fair hair out of her face.
“Lee? I need to go talk to Kai.”
“Go ahead,” she mumbled. “I think I’ll sleep a bit more.”
“If you wake up later and need me, I’ll probably be in bed.” He hesitated. “The thing is, Kai might be there too.”
“In your bed?” She opened her eyes to stare sleepily at him.
“Yeah, he’s . . . stressed about losing Solly like that.”
“So you’re going to do what? Comfort him?”
“If that’s what he needs.”
“And what happens if I turn up?”
“That’s up to you.” He patted her cheek. “I’m glad it went well today, Lee.”
He walked out, leaving her to either sleep or make her own mind up as to what he was doing and why. Leaving Kai alone just wasn’t going to happen. They’d been through too much together.
By the time he reached the kitchen, Kai was already rummaging in the fridge, getting stuff out to make a salad. He had opened two bottles of kvas .
Rehz took the frosted bottle and brought it to his lips. “Vas.”
Kai reached across and clinked his bottle against Rehz’s. “Vas. Nice to see you’ve finally got something good to drink in.”
“Lee likes it. She calls it beer, says they have something similar on Earth.”
“Do you believe she’s from another planet?”
Rehz shrugged. “We’re pretty isolated out here.
The government likes to pretend we’re the only planet that exists and that everywhere else is either a threat or a legend.
Have you ever seen anyone who looks like her on Mitan?
” He frowned. “There were some differences in her initial DNA test results, but Palk passed her into the program anyway.”
“She certainly doesn’t look like any Mitan female I’ve ever met. Those blue eyes are pretty unique.” Kai finished his kvas and returned to concocting the bowl of salad. “Is Lee coming out to eat with us?”
“She’s asleep. She’ll help herself later if she wakes up.”
“Does she know I’m still here?” Kai peeled off his jacket, leaving him in just a black regulation T-shirt and pants.
“She does. Let’s eat.”
By mutual consent they took their plates over to the couch and watched the news and sports roundup on the telescreen as they ate.
“Do you really think you can stand another year?” Rehz asked as he got up to clear away the plates and get more kvas .
“I don’t have any choice. Apparently Solly doesn’t count, so I’m still one down on my count.”
“That’s fucking unfair.”
“Hell, Rehz, he jumped off the roof on my watch. I failed him.”
“I’m sure you did your best.”
“I took my eye off him while I was in the shower. I thought he was doing okay readjusting. He found the code to the rooftop of the building and he just . . .” Kai sighed. “It was a fucking mess. Literally.”
Rehz reached out and gripped his shoulder. “It’s okay. We’ve all had one like that. Remember Iniz? He managed to kill himself on the way to the hospital while a whole team of medics and I watched, and we still couldn’t save him.”
“Yeah.” Kai closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the couch. “So I signed up for one more year. I’ll be leading the team.”
“They couldn’t have anyone better.”
Kai smiled. “Except you.” He ran a finger down Rehz’s nose. “Will you let me stay with you tonight?”
“If you wish.”
“What about Lee?”
“I told her you might be staying.”
“You know me too well.” Kai hesitated. “I need to be fucked hard and I know you’ll do it right.”
“Were you and Solly still fucking?”
“No. He wasn’t really into men so I didn’t push it. I wonder if we need to try and recruit more female trainers?”
“I don’t think Lee will go for it.”
“Fuck no. They only take ex-military. Although she’d be damn good at it. That female has big balls.” Kai laughed and finished his kvas .
“I keep wondering if there is a better way.”
“Than training Tributes?” Kai shrugged. “It’s the cheapest option the government has at the moment.”
“I know. Use up the expendables. Military grunts, patriots, troublemakers, and condemned prisoners. Cheap, disposable, and unlikely to be missed.” Rehz grimaced. “It’s starting to leave a sour taste in my mouth.”
Kai stood up and hauled Rehz to his feet as well. “Maybe I can give you something better to taste?”
“I thought you were the one who wanted to be fucked?”
Kai stripped off his T-shirt, shed his pants, and stepped out of his boxers. The scars on his dark skin mirrored the ones Rehz carried. The unseen scars were reflected in the need in Kai’s unwavering green gaze. He was already hard and ready.
“Do you want me to kneel, Rehz? Take you in my mouth so Lee will get an eyeful if she comes out here?”
Rehz pictured that and his cock jerked to life. Maybe they could both kneel to him and take turns sucking him off . . .
“Let’s go to bed. You can start there.”
“Wow, you’ve turned into such a prude.”
Kai didn’t let him get far. As soon as Rehz closed the door, Kai was down on his knees and in Rehz’s pants, licking him through his already wet underwear.
Rehz groaned as Kai sucked the crown of his cock through the fabric, coaxing his pre-come through the weave and making the fabric mold and stick to Rehz’s sensitive cock.
“Take it out and suck it, Kai.”
Rehz cupped the back of Kai’s skull. Kai had almost no hair to thread his fingers through like Anna Lee. In fact Kai had no hair on the rest of his body at all.
“Yeah—that’s . . .”
Kai helped relieve him of the rest of his clothing, and they fell onto the bed, half-fighting and half-fucking, cocks slipping and sliding together between their stomachs, neither of them able to dominate the other.
It was good for Rehz too; he was being so careful with Anna Lee that just fucking without worrying he’d hurt Kai was damn liberating.
Eventually Kai let himself be caught under Rehz’s body and spread his knees wide.
“Fuck me.”
Rehz reached across to the bedside table. “Lube.”
Kai grabbed his wrist. “Not necessary. I said I wanted it hard.”
“No.” Rehz held his gaze. “I’m not punishing you for losing Solly. You’ve done enough of that to yourself. I’m going to fuck you until you’re whimpering like a little boy, but I’m going to do it with lube.”
He smeared some of the stuff on his cock and fingers.
“No fingers, just cock?” Kai bargained.
“If you insist.”
Kai’s breath hissed out as Rehz pressed his well-lubed cock to the tight bud of Kai’s hole and eased back and forth, pushing his way through the ring of muscle until he was seated to the hilt, his balls brushing against Kai’s smooth skin.
“Big enough for you?”
“Yeah.”
“Put your arms over your head and hold on to the headboard. It’s going to be a long night.”
Rehz drew back his hips and then slammed forward, driving his cock in and out of Kai’s ass as his lover arched and twisted to the rhythmic pounding that kept him chained to the bed. So fucking good to just let go with a strong man like Kai, so fucking good . . .
He reached between them and wrapped his hand around Kai’s wet cock and rubbed him in time to his thrusts.
“Hard enough for you, Kai? Or do you want more? I’ll give you as much as you can take if you don’t come. If you stay big and stiff in my hand.”
“Don’t worry.” Kai’s gasps were punctuated by Rehz’s thrusts. “I’m not going or coming anytime soon.”
Rehz smiled and leaned in to bite Kai’s lip. He knew exactly what would make the other male come. He just had to decide when he wanted to allow it.
Anna sat up in bed and stared at the door. Rehz hadn’t come back, and she’d had a nightmare. Her fuzzy brain tried to remember what he’d said about Kai . . . about Kai staying the night.
With him.
At this very moment Rehz Akran could be fucking Kai.
Which was none of her business. Except he’d told her where he’d be and intimated that he wouldn’t mind if she joined him.
Or them.
Which was still none of her business. Why would any female want to watch two big, strong warriors fucking each other’s brains out?
Because that’s what they’d be doing. From personal experience she knew that both of them recovered fast and could stay hard for hours.
They’d shared her between them more than once, but she’d had a sense that Kai preferred the males.
Lust stirred low in her gut.
She’d had a crappy day. It was her last night of captivity, and hell, she wanted to go and watch two men fuck. She didn’t have to join in. If she was quiet, they might not even know she was there . . .
Would Rehz be with Kai like he was with her, a patient, passive cock? Somehow she doubted it. Damn it, she needed to be brave for once. Since coming out of Ungrich space, she’d turned as docile and unexciting as Rehz Akran’s cock.
His big, stiff, amazing cock, which was no doubt being used properly with Kai right now.
