Chapter 2 #2
Aled winced as his cock stirred. “You can fuck my mouth as much as you like tomorrow. The Ungrich will expect it.”
“And I want your ass . . . my dick and a nice thick tentacle inside you, making you beg for it.”
Kai’s voice had roughened as his shaft moved between Aled’s fingers. Despite everything, Aled was caught up with the need to please his demanding male. He’d fuck Anna Lee all night if he had Kai behind him, fucking his ass.
Kai jerked and came all over Aled’s fingers. With a soft sound, he pushed Aled down onto his back and straddled him. Taking Aled’s hand, Kai licked his fingers clean of come and then bent to kiss him.
“We’ll survive this. Rehz has a plan.”
“And if it doesn’t work?”
“Then we’ll go down fighting and die together.”
Aled looked over at Rehz, who had gathered Anna onto his lap and was whispering intently into her ear.
“Rehz thought you might have given us up to Palk.”
“I fucking didn’t .”
“I knew you wouldn’t.” Kai smoothed his hair. “Even if you had, I’d still stop him from killing you.”
“Thanks.” He scowled at his lover. “Palk knew about the DNA thing. I don’t know how. I guess he’s always been in direct contact with the Ungrich scientists. Maybe they asked him to find humans like Anna and me specifically for their research.”
“I told Rehz, the idea of two Tributes having that elusive human DNA in two consecutive cycles was too big a coincidence to miss. Once Palk found Anna, he was already looking for someone like you to fulfill the male requirements.”
“They certainly targeted me for the program.” He winced. “I thought I was going insane when I found myself back here, but Anna Lee kept me on task.”
“She’s tough.”
“She has to be to keep up with Rehz Akran.” He lowered his voice. “They say they want our offspring, but what the hell for? Experimentation or something worse?”
“I’m not sure. I’m hoping we can sweet-talk those answers out of them in the next mating cycle. The longer we spend here, the better we communicate with them and the more they reveal.”
“I’m not leaving any child of mine and Anna Lee’s here.”
“I get that.” Kai disengaged Aled’s hand from around his wrist. “Let’s get some sleep while they’re quiet.”
Aled lay down against Kai’s side, his palm flattened over Kai’s heart. “Thanks for coming to get me.”
“You’re welcome.” Kai slid his fingers over Aled’s scalp. “When we get out, you can tie me up and show me just how thankful you are.”
Anna woke to a stifled cry as Rehz was shoved away from her by a mass of tentacles and held fast as he struggled. She forced herself to sit up and meet his furious gaze.
“Rehz. Don’t fight them.”
He set his jaw and went still, his eyes locked on hers as the tentacles covered him in a mesh of pulsing pink lines.
“Mate.”
Anna glanced over at the other two males, who had also been forcibly separated, leaving Kai cursing and Aled trying to calm him down.
“You cannot separate us from our Other while Aled and I fuck. They must be allowed to stay with us and provide for all our needs.”
Aled was brought toward her, his cock already hard and dripping pre-come as a probe manipulated his stiff shaft.
“Agreed. We shall observe.”
She crawled to Rehz, who was now seated on the floor, watching her, and backed up to him until his hands reached for her hips. His slick-tipped cock prodded the crack of her ass and he groaned her name.
“Hold me, Rehz. Talk to them.” She breathed out as Aled was physically propelled on top of her in a tangle of tentacles, which then withdrew.
“Gods,” Aled groaned as he slid inside her. “I’m sorry, Anna, I . . .” He gasped as his hips rolled hard against her, pushing her even closer into Rehz’s embrace. “Sorry, Rehz, I have to—I—”
He started to thrust, but it was Rehz Anna focused on, his hand on her breast and his finger on her clit, protecting her as poor Aled pounded into her. Leaning back, she searched for Rehz’s mouth and found it waiting for her.
Kai appeared behind Aled and slid his fingers into Aled’s hair, forcing his head back so Kai could kiss him. Anna felt the jolt as Kai pushed himself deep inside Aled’s ass. The pace increased, dictated by Kai rather than the Ungrich .
When she climaxed, the quieter of the Ungrich pair purred and seemed to uncurl within her mind.
“Do you like that?” she forced herself to ask.
“Your pleasure with the males? It is good.”
Rehz’s fingers tightened on her hips as Aled and Kai fucked each other and her.
“I want to be inside you,” he muttered.
“Please . . .” she breathed, digging her nails into his arm. “Please . . .”
He drew her up, and Aled went still as Rehz slowly lowered her over his thick cock. She felt every inch of him, but she didn’t care. The fact that he was with her was enough to make things feel better. And if they weren’t going to survive, they would certainly go down fucking and fighting.
“Gods.” Aled tore his mouth away from Kai’s. “I can feel all three of you. I want to come.”
Kai bit his throat hard. “Not until Anna tells you. You stay hard.”
“Come, Aled,” she whispered. “You’re the best at communicating with them. Tell me what your hosts are thinking when you do so.”
Aled opened his eyes and gently eased out of Anna Lee and back into Kai’s waiting embrace. The Ungrich had retreated slightly, leaving the four of them alone.
“They get off on us coming.” Anna cleared her throat. “One of them likes the pleasure, the other the pain.”
“Yeah,” Rehz agreed. “I got that sense too.”
“So we’re like a drug to them?” Aled asked. “Which means what—that if they can manage to replicate our offspring down here, those children will become their pet drug of choice? Fuck that.”
Anna frowned. “There’s got to be more to it than that. Don’t they know most humans only produce one child at a time?”
“It doesn’t make sense,” Rehz said. “If they want to get high on Mitans with human DNA, they could just demand that all the population who have that genetic makeup should be sent as Tributes. There must be more of you out there. Our government would probably prefer it. The Ungrich want something else.”
The tentacles wrapped around Aled, drawing him up and thrusting him back toward Anna, who bit down hard on her lip. Aled’s worried gaze met Rehz’s over her shoulder.
“Don’t you fucking hurt her,” Rehz growled.
“I’m trying not to—”
Kai got in Rehz’s face. “Stop trying to intimidate him. He’s doing his best.”
Aled slid his cock back into Anna and held still as she adapted to him. “Let’s focus on slowing down and thinking more. When one of us comes, the others have to seek answers, okay?”
He had no choice but to fuck Anna, but he did his best to keep it slow and steady. She was so wet from him already that it made his job much easier.
Kai’s fingers closed over his scalp.
“Let me have your mouth.”
Of course, Kai would enjoy this more than the rest of them. He thrived on the uncomfortable, on sex actively involving pain and suffering.
Aled swallowed Kai’s dick deep and held him there, sucking in rhythm to the thrust of his own cock inside Anna.
With Kai not fucking his ass, he could think more clearly and get more out of the Ungrich .
But gods, he loved Kai standing over him all naked and beautiful, demanding his submission, fucking his mouth.
He thought he’d lost that. Believed that Kai had rejected his love.
“Love . . .” The Ungrich inside him stirred, pushing against his mind. It was becoming equally adept at reading his subconscious as his projected thoughts. “Mate?”
“Yes. Like you. Two halves of a whole.”
“Not love. Coexist.”
“Kind of. Can you survive if your Other dies?”
He gagged around Kai’s cock as the Ungrich shoved a long, thick probe into his ass.
“We are one.”
The probe expanded until it was like he was being fisted, propelling him hard onto Anna. Kai’s grip on his head strengthened, offering him some much-needed support as Rehz braced himself behind Anna.
He closed his eyes and just endured as he climaxed and was roughly pushed away from Anna by Rehz.
The Ungrich pair inside him disengaged him from Kai as well, and then he was entangled in tentacles as the dominant Ungrich continued pounding his ass.
Inside his head, the more submissive partner hissed in pleasure.
“Hold him.”
Impaled on the appendage, he could only watch as the darker tentacles of the submissive climbed the insides of his thighs, spread over his balls and wound their way up and around the shaft of his cock, forcing him into unwilling and painful hardness.
The tentacles thinned and curved over the crown, holding him steady.
“No!” he ground out. It was the last thing he said before his throat was filled.
He couldn’t scream as the narrow, barbed tentacle dipped inside the wet slit of his cock and stabbed downward. His body went rigid and he bucked against the coils. A searing pain followed as the head of the tentacle reemerged like some kind of macabre piercing on the underside of his cock.
Even as he thrashed and fought against the pain, he was aware of their pleasure and of their delight in the pumping of his come and his inability to stop them from doing whatever they wanted to him.
“Why?”
“We want this. We need this.”
And then everything went red and he let go.
“He’s not responding.” Kai smoothed Aled’s hair back from his face. “What the fuck did they do to him?”
“I don’t know.”
Rehz frowned down at Aled’s body, his gaze on the blood oozing from his cock and the three puncture wounds on the crown.
“They’re going to kill him,” Kai said flatly. “And if they do, I’m taking them down, okay? You and Anna can get out of here while I’m tearing every Ungrich fucker I can reach to shreds with my bare hands.”
“Now who needs to calm down?”
He bared his teeth at his friend.
“While that was going down, I got something from them. Did you, Kai?”
“I was too busy worrying about what they were doing to Aled.”
Anna, who was curled up on Rehz’s lap, opened her eyes. “They loved it when they hurt him.”
