Page 41 of Einar

Ido not want to belong to anyone… ever again.

“Nopressure on a girl at all, huh?Don’tIhave a say so in any of this?Imean,I’vealready lost everything, so amIjust supposed to say, ‘OKuniverse, hereIam, do with me as you will?’Justbecause some big ass guy decides he wants to get it on with a human chick half his size.Imean have you seen the size of these guys?Ifbig noses, feet, and hands add up the way they’re supposed to,I’mliterally fucked.”

Thecorners of my mouth twitch with as much amusement asI’mcapable of.Leaveit toRubyto home in on how big these guys dicks are instead of the fact that we’ve been abducted by a completely different species of aliens that, allegedly, don’t want to harm us.Kallenmust findRuby’swords just as entertaining asIdo because she bursts out in melodious laughter while replying to my sister’s snark. “LittleRuby,Ihave no idea what those references mean, butIdo believe if you remain open-minded, the horrors you have been put through may turn into an adventure and love you never dreamed of.Thefact that two sisters were fated to be mates to two brothers is a wonder in and of itself.”

“Youmean my sister is also going to have this mate problem?”

No… nonononononono!NO!

“Yes,Einarwas the one who saved her, not only from that breeding nest, but from the lung disease plaguing her small form.”

Kallen’srevelations fill me with terror, andIhave to fight to keep my breathing under control.Yearsof practice feigning sleep to escapeRichards’ attentions are coming in handy right now.

“Youmean the green giant and my little sister?”

“Yes.”

Idonotlike the certainty in her voice.Ifwhat she’s saying it to be believed,MossMan,BigGreen, theJollyGreenGiant, nowEinar, thinksI’mhis mate.

“Yourgods must have one hell of a sense of humor.”

Ain’tthat the fucking truth.

Asoft whooshing sound is shortly followed by a voice so deep there is no way it could ever belong to a human man. “Slavicis returning from plundering the other ship.Thelot was substantial and now the fuel tanks are filled.Saygoodbye to your new friendKallen, you need your rest.”

“Ifeel better thanIhave in foreverRuarc.”Kallen’sresponse to the deep voiced speaker is full of frustration, but he doesn’t say anything further.Ihear the rustle of clothing before the soft swooshy sound again and then blessed silence.

Crackingmy eyelids open,Ipeer through my lashes to see who or what is in the room with me.

Tomy surprise,I’mutterly alone for the first time sinceRubyandIwere taken by the sneaky snakes.Openingmy eyes fully,Ilook around the roomI’min, paying close attention to where everything is.Especially, the doors, or whatIthink are the doors.Mytime spent withRoberthas left a lasting impression, and the first rule of survival is to always have an exit plan.Evenif it’s just being able to leave the room you’re in.

Easingmyself into a sitting position, the warm, comfy blanket that was pulled up to my neck falls down, exposing my naked body.Thecold air on my boobs makes my nipples bead but it feels… different.Lookingdown,Ifreeze.

Thepiercings!

They’re…they’re gone.Liftingthe edge of the blanket,Icheck my navel and between my legs to see if all the horrible things are gone.WhenIfind no trace of metal anywhere, the tears begin welling in my eyes and running down my face.I’vehated looking at my body for years sinceRobertforced me to have my bits pierced and then put that awful lock and chain on them.

Asudden crash snaps my head up and in the direction of the commotion.Tomy dismay,MossManstands there.Truthbe told, the roomI’min is not very big, so he’s only a couple of feet from me, standing in a doorway that connects to this medical center.Thisis the first timeI’vebeen calm and rational enough to really take in his physical appearance in detail.Myfirst look at him was accurate and not a figment of my imagination or the drugs.Hereally does have two horns that emerge from his forehead and sweep back like the characterHellboy.

Thehorns add to his stature, making him look even bigger than he really is, and there’s no way he’s any shorter than seven or seven and a half feet tall.Apitch-black mark on his thick neck catches my attention, andIfollow it down across his broad shoulders and shirtless torso to the waistline of his pants, where it disappears from sight.Froma purely artistic point of view, it’s breathtaking.It’snot just a plain black mark that runs across his body, it’s a work of art.Theswirling, whimsical lines remind me of some of the elvish artwork fromJ.R.R.Tolkien’sLordof theRingsseries, and it’s an extreme contrast to the brutish being wearing it.

Thatmust be the collar thingieKallenandRubywere talking about.

Thething that shows the world he’s… mated.Tome.Andif my sister and her friend are to be believed,MossManwill die ifIdon’t seal the mate bond with him.Ruby’sright.Thatisa lot of freaking pressure.Ijust escaped from my abusive husband and the sexual torture he forced me to endure for years.Ihave no desire, whatsoever, to have sex ever again.

But… canIreally sentence an innocent man to death due to something out of his control?

Forcingmyself to move on from that bit of information,Icontinue to catalogue this … person.Hishair is an interesting combination of black and green that shines in the light.IfIwasn’t freaking out,Iwould find it almost pretty to look at; similar to the sheen a raven feather has when the sunlight hits it just right, and in addition to that,Ican see the tips of pointed green ears peeking out from under his lustrous hair.Betweenthe large, arcing horns, crocodile looking yellow eyes that have a vertical pupil instead of a rounded one like my eyes have, and his overall massive stature, he makes an extremely intimidating figure of a male.

Andthere’s no doubt he’s male.Ican see the terrifyingly massive bulge in the front of his pants to prove it.Skimmingmy eyes back up his body,Irealize that his eyes are bouncing back and forth between my breasts and my face.Probablywhy he’s rocking a hard on.RealizingI’mjust sitting there with my tits out in front of a being twice my size, that may or may not wantthingsfrom me,Ijerk the blanket back over my naked body and pull my knees up, curling my arms around them over the soft material of my covers.Staringat my lap,Iremain quiet.

WhatamIsupposed to say to him?

Thenano-ticIknowSlavic,Falon, andMurgulare safely back on board theZenith,IleaveBikarand his sphere of chaos in the helm room to head back to my quarters.Enteringmy room,Isigh heavily.Lifehas been a bit of a whirlwind of activity recently andIcannot say thatIam ungrateful for it.Notwhen it brought meher, butIcannot deny the fact thatIwould enjoy a little less excitement for a few risings.

Closingthe door behind me,Igo about taking my weapons off and safely storing them in the cabinet attached to the far wall.Istep into my private lavatory to wash the stress from my body.Hotwater full of cleanser rains down on me, easing my tired muscles, and inflaming my semi-hard pivy.Thesensation of water sluicing across my sensitive member makes me groan in response to the light stimulation.Restingmy horns against the wall,Ilook down at myself and try to see what my human mate might see when she looks at me.

Tosay thatIam bigger than she is, is a vast understatement.Iam much larger than all of my brothers and one of the biggestRukuhks, if not the biggest one still in existence.ThefrackingAynardelved deep into our ancestral genetics to augment me to be more primitive in appearance yet grafted my mind with a biotech to make me far more intelligent than most beings.Forsome reason, they seemed to enjoy the dichotomy thatIhave the manifestation of a brute but the superior intellect of a higher being.
