Chapter 15
You will have to beg us for some rest.

“I trust you had a pleasant dinner,” Kosae, their white father said, a faint smile gracing his lips. “I am guessing you did not have a pleasant time the last few days.”
Baelor and Nitochi had told them about how they’d found me, which had led to me having to explain exactly what I remembered of this whole incident.
To tell them about Alessio, potentially still looking for me.
Maybe he was still here, searching through the dead bodies of the men who had taken me prisoner. Hoping I had survived but not escaped.
They had all brushed away my concerns about their people potentially being in danger. So, even though my gut told me something was going to go wrong, I listened.
“It was delicious, thank you for having us,” I said, smiling back.
Nitochi chuckled behind me. “Of course it was delicious, Baelor and I made most of it.”
“As is our custom,” Kosae said, arching a brow at his darker son. “We host, you bring food. We would have brought the dishes if you had accepted that we came to visit you.”
Baelor muttered something that sounded strangely like a “We did not even want to be here so soon,” but thankfully, everyone chose to ignore it.
Nodala cleared her throat, taking a step closer to grab my hand. “Let me escort you all to your guest nest, we are—”
“No need,” Baelor cut in with a smile. “The same as usual, right?” Nodala nodded. “Then we will get going. We will see you tomorrow night at dinner, alright?”
His mother seemed a bit surprised by his rush. I wasn’t. At least, not from the moment he spun me around to walk behind me, his front plastered against my back.
His definitely hard cock pressing just above my ass.
Okay. Yes. Sexy time it was.
Nitochi lowered me to the floor as we landed inside another cave, far away from their parents’ but in the same “hive”, as they called it. It looked similar to the one they—no, we lived in, but slightly smaller. Less comfortable. It was obvious no one lived here all year round.
Baelor’s hand found my waist before I could even find my footing. “Let’s get cleaned up before we get some rest,” he said, pulling me with him toward a tunnel. If it was like their—shit, our nest, that must be the one leading to the natural pools inside the mountain. “You coming?” he asked Nitochi.
But my dark knight didn’t move, standing at the edge of the cave, one foot almost already out. Both hands were fists at his sides, wings fluttering anxiously.
“I am feeling a bit restless,” he said. “I will go and stretch my wings a little before I join you.”
Baelor’s eyebrows pulled down. “Are you sure?”
Nitochi turned his head, just enough for us to see the side of his face. “Yes. I will be back soon, I will just fly around for a while.”
I took a step back from Baelor, retreating until my hand could close around his forearm. Our eyes met and my heart stopped for a second. “Don’t take too long, okay?” I pleaded.
His black eyes gleamed before he leaned closer, dropping a soft kiss on my forehead. “I will join you in bed before you even start missing me.”
I doubted that. The idea of him not being with me now already made my heart ache. I slid my fingers through his hair. “Promise?”
Something flickered behind his eyes. Doubt. Hesitation. Right now, he did not want to go that much anymore.
But he still said, “Promise.” The hair along my arms rose as his wings propelled him out, higher and higher until I couldn’t see him in the dark sky.
“He will be fine.” Baelor’s arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me against his chest. His lips met my temple, kissing the skin softly. “He is powered by the moon. He needs to burn some of his energy off before he can even consider going to sleep.”
I gritted my teeth. No one said anything about sleeping. Right now, his human bride was eager to spend some time with the both of them. Burning his energy. Naked time. Time that would leave my throat raw from screaming, lips swollen from kissing and pussy throbbing from—yeah. That.
My hair was pushed to the side and I was brought back to the present by Baelor’s sharp teeth scraping against the sensitive skin of the side of my neck.
Right. Nitochi wasn’t the only one who could fulfill some of my current desires…
Baelor’s fingers were deftly and assured as he untitled the knot at my hip and unwrapped me from the strange but definitely sexy piece of fabric his mother had dressed me with.
“You truly look beautiful,” he said, dropping the reddish garment to the floor before he slid both of his arms around my waist to hug me from behind. “It might be odd, but we had never seen a human female before. We have been worried you would look like the male specimens…”
My jaw dropped as I turned my head toward him, just enough to look at his face. “What made you think men and women would look similar? You look really different from the females in your species…I mean, you look a little like your mom, but only from a genetic perspective!”
I mean, the woman didn’t even have the same coloring as them…I hadn’t seen any other female Gemin yet, but it seemed that the black or white skin was reserved for the males…
“We don’t,” Baelor said as he nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck. “But we know other species in the system that do. The Canco, for example.”
I heard Baelor’s pants drop to the floor right before he started walking us to the pool. Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look…
“What’s a Canco?” I croaked. Real smooth, Wendy.
My feet reached the edge and I went down the little steps, letting the warm water envelop my ankle, my shins, my knees, until eventually we stopped in the middle and only my head wasn’t immersed.
“The species that lives on Cancer.”
I chuckled. I never met the humans in charge of the program for more than a thirty minute meeting when they came to tell me I was compatible to be a bride for one of the species in this system.
The Zodiac system. Had they named all the planets after the Zodiac signs?
Were the Canco just giant humanoid crabs?
“Do they have eight legs, a thick hardshell and taste delicious with a?oli?” I asked as I turned to face Baelor.
He looked at me with wide eyes. Oh. Did I just suggest we’d eat a whole species in this system? Judging by his face, I most definitely did.
“What are you—”
“It was a joke,” I rushed out. “It’s just—your system is filled with planets that have the same name as human astrological signs.
I mean, we don’t use them anymore since we started colonising space and months and astrology aren’t relevant anymore but—anyway, cancer is associated with a sea creature called a crab.
They were imported from Earth to my planet and considered a delicacy. ”
Baelor blinked. “I have no idea what you mean.”
“It’s fine!” I brushed it off. “It was just a poor attempt at a joke that you couldn’t have understood anyway. It didn’t land, and I’m sorry it might have seemed like we could have been eating…people. We don’t.”
Oh dear, maybe I should have drowned myself to stop talking.
I slid my hands over his chest until they reached the back of his neck. “What I actually wanted to ask was, what do they look like?”
Baelor seemed to relax. Maybe he did believe humans were eating Cancos…
“They do have a thick skin, mostly on their arms and back. It varies from brownish to various shades of red or purple.” I pinched my lips between my teeth.
They’re like crabs, aren’t they… “But they don’t have eight legs…
Just two. And two arms too.” He paused. “But, their thumbs and forefingers have a sharp edge…”
“Would you call it pincers?”
He seemed to think about it for a minute. “Yes.”
I held back another chuckle. Yeah, they’re humanoid crabs.
I wasn’t sure what role humans had played in this system’s evolution, but if there were twelve planets, all named after the Zodiac signs and their species had traits from those signs…
I mean, it made sense. Gemin on Gemini—two polar opposites sharing a soul…
Though it was strange that this particularity only affected the males.
Whatever humans did, the species from this system were compatible with us. Maybe it was why they were humanoid?
“And both male and female are like this?” I asked, forcing myself to focus now that Baelor’s hands were roaming my sides, waist, hips, back…
Baelor nodded. “Yes. At first glance, I can never say who is male or female. None have hair, or—breasts,” he said, eyes going down to mine, visible under the clear water.
He continued, but his voice now seemed distracted.
“Tauri, Ari and Lionus females don’t have them either but—well, they still look different from the males. ”
Although I was growing more and more curious about all these different species, right now, with his hands on me and the very little space between our bodies, I couldn’t find it in me to really care.
“The Libaris are exclusively female so there cannot be any confusion,” he continued, but his hands were now cupping my ass and I was one minute away from telling him to just shut up. “The Virgons and Lionus, although they all look a bit feminine, are easy to—”
“Baelor?” I breathed out.
“Yes, habanshi?” he answered, his voice sounding as breathless as mine.
“I know you’re only talking because I technically asked, but can we pause this conversation and—”
He didn’t bother answering, choosing instead to crash his lips against mine, hands moving from my ass to the back of my thighs to lift me up and wrap my legs around his hips.
But when my fingers tried to close around his cock, comfortably nestled between my legs, I didn’t expect him to stop me.
“We will play later,” Baelor groaned in between kisses.
“What? But—”
In less than a second, my front was plastered against the side of the pool, nails clawing at the rough stone of the edge while his two middle fingers were rubbing small circles on my clit. When he pushed them inside and met no resistance, his chest rumbled against my back.
“Are all human females this eager?” he asked, dropping open-mouthed kisses on my shoulder blade.
“It’s—a hormonal thing,” I moaned. “Specific to the colony I’m from.”
He hummed in appreciation, thrusting his fingers inside me slowly. Too slowly.
“Has Nitochi explained to you how this is all going to work?”
Baelor’s lips inched closer to my ear and I cried in frustration as he pulled his hand away from where I needed it most.
“He hasn’t,” I said. “We couldn’t understand each other when we—oh god…”
I gasped when the tip of his cock pressed against my entrance, slowly pushing forward, stretching me as it did.
“When Nitochi fucked you first and came inside you, he claimed you and accepted his role as the lead of our union,” he whispered before nibbling on my earlobe. “It is a big deal for our species. We do not come inside just any female…You are his now. Ours once I do the same.”
“Please do,” I cried as he thrusted farther, his hips now flushed against my ass as he bottomed out. He stilled, hands gripping my hips harder as he caught his breath. “Please, fuck me. Claim me as yours too.”
“You crave this, do you?” Baelor said, a grin audible in his voice. “Me. Nitochi…” I nodded, the motion frantic. “Will you be able to take us both?”
I shivered at the thought of me between both of their bodies. Of their cocks moving inside me together. Of their voices whispering in my ears as I shattered in their arms. Over, and over, and over.
“Yes,” I moaned as he pulled back only to slam back in. “Oh god, yes! Please, fuck me harder—”
I choked on my breath as he did just what I asked, pounding into me relentlessly, his hand wrapped around my hair to pull my head up, arching my back as much as it could.
The flatter side of his cock kept hitting that deep spot that made me see stars and I cried out, feeling my whole body tense and jolt as the orgasm hit me like a wave.
With just a couple more thrusts, he stilled again, his cock throbbing inside as he came.
This time, I could swear I felt something moving near its crown.
With their insistence on not letting me touch them, I had absolutely no idea what they looked like. Just that the underside felt a bit flatter…
Both of Baelor’s arms were circling my waist, his forehead resting on my back, lips leaving a trail of kisses near my spine.
“Baelor?”
“Yes, habanshi?” he whispered back.
“Are you tired?” I was exhausted. But I needed…more.
“I am.” I sighed in disappointment. “And you are too. Let’s go to bed.”
“But I—”
Baelor chuckled. “Do not worry, Nitochi will be back soon. Take the sleep while you can, because then you will have to beg us for some rest…”
