Silver Tongued Devils (3 page)

Brom interlocked his fingers with hers
and slid their hands up to her breast where he squeezed gently.
“You are too much of a temptation for either one of us.”

She was confused. Worried. And pissed.
What the hell was going on? “He kissed me and left me with
you.”

“You stowed away. A woman like you
should understand what will happen if she gets caught.”

“What do you mean by a woman like
me?”

“A pleasure slave.”

The hateful phrase knocked the breath
out of her. She tried to jerk away from his touch but he held
tight. “What are you talking about?”

“That’s what they intended you to
become. The injections are designed to make you obedient to your
master.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking
about.”

He sniffed her hair. “I can smell it on
you. Once you’ve experienced them, you’ll never lose the
taste.”

She wanted to fight back, but he gently
plucked at her nipple.

A shudder racked her body. She
swallowed. “So am I supposed to be passed around the
crew?”

His grip tightened and a low growl
rumbled from his body. “Na’varr and I will be the only ones allowed
to touch you.”

Both men? She would be shared between
them? This had to be a joke. A sharp pain of lust clenched in her
lower stomach and the strength in her legs gave out. Brom lowered
them to the floor.

“You must be used to women throwing
themselves at you, Mr. Raine. I’m not attracted to you.” The husky
shakiness of her voice was irritating.

His laugh unsettled her.

“What?”

“You’re a terrible liar.”

Was he playing with her? “I’m not
lying.” He was hot as hell, definitely, but any other time she’d
have kicked his ass and left him in the dust for touching her this
way, much less offering to share her with his buddy. So why was
this guy different?

“A hybrid survives by their
senses,
a’shara
.
Mine are telling me you want me.”

“It’s the drug.”

“You lie to yourself.” He brushed his
cheek along the top of her head. “I love the way you
smell.”

Don’t say things that will
make me imagine impossibilities.
She needed
their help to get home. Raesa clenched her eyes shut as the desire
grew. Sweat formed on her body and her breaths came in soft gasps.
“Why are you doing this?”

“If I don’t, you’ll go insane. The
pains are worse, aren’t they?”

His other hand released hers and
trailed up her bare thigh to the thin scrap of material which
constituted her panties. He ran his fingers along her
slit.

Exquisite pleasure had her arching into
his touch. A ragged groan tore from her throat.

“That’s it.” He caressed along the
surface of her soaked panties, driving her thoughts into oblivion.
“Give in.”

Brom pressed his thumb against her
clit. She dug her nails into his thigh.

He released her hand and slipped his
through the top of her dress to pluck at her nipple before rolling
it gently.

Too gentle. Too slow.

“More.”

“Ahh, yes.” He pushed the thin cloth to
the side and plunged a finger into her pussy.

Her sex clenched in violent lust.
Desperate lust slammed through her and she shuddered. She brought
her hips off the ground, seeking friction. His touch wasn’t
enough.

Two of Brom’s fingers slipped in and he
flicked his fingers.

Achingly sweet pleasure released at his
masterful touch. He pumped in and out of her in a slow
rhythm.

“Please.”

Teeth bit on the slope of her
shoulder.

Brom used his tongue to soothe where
his teeth had nipped. She tried to pull free and turn in his arms
but he tightened his hold, going completely still. Raesa
whimpered.

His fingers slipped free of her body
and she cried out at the loss.

Brom grabbed her around the waist and
rose, helping her stand as he did. Her legs trembled and she stared
up at his face. “I won’t take you on the floor like a
beast.”

She blushed hot. Icy mortification
dampened her lust. He thought she was too easy. Hell, she was,
wasn’t she? Tears burned behind her eyes.

Brom cursed and ran his fingers down
her face. He kissed her in a thorough exploration tinged with
desperate need. “I’m sorry.” He swept her up in his arms and
carried her to the bed.

A thrill of shy joy fluttered in her
stomach.

She watched his expression from beneath
lowered lashes. A man this beautiful was touching her, treasuring
her. Even if it was for just a moment, she would carry this in her
heart for those long cold nights at the Sakura outpost. Getting
back there and taking over her father’s work was the only thing
left to her.

He set her on her feet and cupped her
cheeks in his hands. “A man wants to know he’s the only thing on
his woman’s mind.”

His
woman?

Brom kissed her, sipping from her lips.
It made her feel precious. Her heart and lust tangled at that
moment.

Brom opened his mouth over hers,
plunging his tongue in to sweep away her hesitations with
devastating skill. Where Na’varr seduced, Brom ravished. She dug
her nails into his hair, dragging him closer.

“Off.” He grabbed the hem of her dress
and hauled it up, dragging it over her head and tossing it
carelessly on the floor.

She was no stranger to nudity or men,
but never had one so openly admired her naked body.

He stepped back and shrugged off his
shirt. Her breath caught at the raw beauty of his shoulders and
chest. Gorgeous stripes covered his upper body in a fascinating
pattern. Each mark was several shades darker than the rest of him.
She wanted to caress each one of them with her fingers and her
tongue. See if the texture was as soft as she imagined.

“Do they bother you?”

She recognized the cold tone in his
voice as one he’d used earlier, before Captain Na’varr had told him
to take care of her.

Raesa met his direct gaze with her own.
It seemed as though he waited for a rejection. She smiled and let
her hands fall to the sides. “I think they’re gorgeous.”

Walking to him took more courage than
she ever imagined. She let her fingers hover over the stripes on
his chest. “May I touch you?”

The harsh expression on his face
softened. “Yes.”

With shaking hands she touched his
chest. His stripes were smooth and soft against the pads of her
fingers. She glanced up at his face and traced one. He groaned and
she was in awe of his open reaction to her caress.

Raesa leaned back to look up at his
face. “May I kiss one?”

He gripped her arms. Hesitation nearly
shattered her courage but she stood her ground.

“A kiss, huh?” A devilish grin spread
across his face. “Yes, you may.”

She ran her breath over the tip of a
stripe and then swiped her tongue on it. The flavor and texture
were unique to hybrids. She savored the taste.

His hold tightened but he let her
continue her exploration. Her mouth and tongue followed the stripe
until he cursed again.

“I wanted to go slow with you.” His
voice was raw with lust.

“Slow can wait.” She stripped out of
her panties and watched him shuck his trous. The thick length of
his cock drew her attention.

Brom captured her hands before she
could touch him again. “Later. Right now, I need all the sanity I
can keep.”

His grip trembled slightly. This
gorgeous man was hungry for her. He gently shoved her onto the
mattress. Brom crawled on the bed to her, spreading her legs with a
nudge of his forearms.

He swiped his tongue against her moist
slit.

Hot lust clenched inside her and she
shuddered. The pain of her need was becoming unbearable.

“I’ll make it better.” He guided her
hips up and stroked her soaked entrance with a knuckle.

She shivered. He was driving her to the
edge of sanity.

Brom moved up her body, drawing out
pleasure with his mouth and teeth. Each nibble was followed by a
soothing lick.

Raesa ached for him.

He reached her breasts and licked and
sucked on each nipple, dragging moans from deep within her. He ran
a thumb over a pebbled tip and nuzzled her throat.

Brom rose up and met her gaze with his.
She couldn’t look away from the lust staring back at her. “I like
those sounds, beautiful. Make more for me.”

His words heightened her lust and she
dug her nails into his chest.

The thick head of his cock brushed her
pussy and she arched toward it. He pressed a palm against her lower
stomach and stroked in just enough to make her wiggle for more. She
clenched her inner muscles and he growled.

“Stop that.” His face was flushed and
sexier than she’d ever imagined possible. “Let me take you slow or
I’ll hurt you.”

She didn’t care. All she wanted was
more of him. “Please, Brom.”

Brom groaned and braced his forearms on
either side of her body. “Grab hold of my arms and dig
in.”

She did as he said. The moment her grip
tightened, he thrust deep. Agonizingly sweet ecstasy shot through
her. This was what she needed. More.

Raesa held on while he stroked slow and
then fast, deep enough to sate her hunger for a split second. She
arched into his touch, trying to tell him when words failed to come
out.

Pressure built in the base of her spine
and she turned her head to bury her cries in the
blanket.

“Look at me.” The commanding growl
jerked her attention to him.

Brom was powerful and gorgeous. At that
moment, she knew he was dangerous to her, heart and soul. Wild.
Untamable.

“I’m going to keep you.”

He took her body with silent,
dominating thrusts that thrilled her. His pace increased and she
moaned. Damn he was killing her.

“I love your sweet pussy, Raesa.” His
words inflamed her senses.

“Yes.” Waves of pleasure rose inside
her, threatening to sweep her away with the tide. Every punctuating
slap of their flesh plunged her deeper into the abyss.

“Let me hear you scream,
beautiful.”

He thumbed her clit in the perfect
counter pressure to send her over the edge.

Brom rode her through one orgasm into
another, pounding harder until they were gasping for breath and the
pleasure coursing through her rose to an extreme she never
imagined. She sobbed his name, begging for release.

A predatory gleam filled his eyes. The
hairs on her neck stood on end and a loud purring rumble came from
his chest. He really was a giant cat. Fangs gleamed in the low
light and she realized his intent a moment too late.

His mouth latched onto the nape of her
neck. Teeth scraped the skin and a sharp pain erupted at one spot
where it went too deep. He lapped the spot with his tongue and it
throbbed. He’d bit her. And she liked it. She trembled beneath
him.

The door opened and Brom growled. His
attention snapped to the door. The muscles of his chest and arms
bulged, and he flattened his palms on either side of her head. A
part of her knew she should cover herself, but instincts kept her
completely still. This was the side she’d heard about in stories.
Feral mating or something. She couldn’t remember the details. Hell,
it wasn’t like she ever expected to be in this
situation.

Na’varr came into her peripheral vision
and she waited, as calm as possible considering she was naked and
mid-fuck with a growling hybrid ready to rip something apart.
Hopefully not her. She hoped and prayed Na’varr knew what to do,
because she wasn’t moving an inch.

“Brom. It’s me.” Na’varr’s voice was
pitched low. His tone soothed, and she realized this was probably
not the first time he’d seen Brom like this acting this
way.

Na’varr kept his eyes on Brom. “Are you
okay, Raesa?”

“Yes.” She hated the way her voice
shook. “What do I need to do?”

“Stay calm, try not to be afraid, and
keep your movements to a minimum.”

“We’ll just do that, won’t we,
Brom?”

Brom growled a response and moved
forward. His cock plunged deeper into her pussy and she bit back a
cry of pleasure. His body blocked her view of the captain. Raesa
swallowed down her shyness at being in front of Na’varr and touched
his forearms.

“What are you doing?” Na’varr’s
question annoyed her.

What the hell did it look
like she was doing? Taming a fucking tiger. Her palms brushed over
the fine hair on his arm.
Look at
me
. She willed it, needed it.

His jaw clenched and she noticed the
small jerk of his head that told her he might want to look
down.
