Alien Promise (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) Page 5

  She opened the door, and they followed her inside. She flipped a switch, and the lights came on inside the house, filling it with a warm light. They took their cue to set down the packages on the table where she put her things down.

  He watched her place their swords in a place of honor on the fireplace. It pleased him to watch her do that simple act.

  “Since most of those are your clothes, you can take them to your room if you like. I have a guest room with a bed big enough for both of you. That is if you don’t mind sharing.” She added the last sentence as if slightly embarrassed, and her cheeks reddened. What she didn’t know was that they had shared from a young age and they always knew they would share a mate one day, so sleeping in separate rooms was never an issue that came up.

  “We will sleep wherever you sleep,” Saber announced.

  “Oh no.” She backed up a step and looked alarmed. Her blue eyes were wide with fear, but the rest of her body was very aroused at the idea, and she stopped breathing for a moment. “I’m not going to sleep with you.”

  “We will not hurt you, Lily, but now that we have found you, we cannot bear to be parted with you. Even if it is just for a night,” Ryder said.

  Her breathing picked up when Ryder came within a hairbreadth of her and swooped her up in his arms. She hung onto his neck, and she seemed panicked. “Lily, I promise no harm will come to you and you will not be forced to do anything you do not want to.”

  “Thank you.” Her thick lashes masked her emotion.

  “Don’t you like being touched by me? I don’t want to stop holding you.”

  She sighed deeply and took her time to gather her thoughts. He knew she was just as affected as they were by finding their lifemate. She was sexually aroused but denying her passion. They would have to patient with her. “I like your touch. Probably too much.”

  He planted a kiss on her forehead. He knew the admission took a lot for her. “There is never a thing as too much when it comes to you. Now where is your bed?”

  She hesitated again. Her mouth opened and closed like a fish, but nothing came out.

  “You need sleep, Lily. I see how tired you are, and I want you to be well rested for tomorrow. I would be happy to just lay there and hold you all night.”

  “It’s the third door on the right.” Her cheeks were bright red when she finally admitted it. “And there’s room for both of you, but you can do this tonight. I really shouldn’t have you in my bed unless we…”

  “Thank you, princess.” He didn’t want to hear the word no, so he didn’t ask permission. He was already moving toward the bedroom door. There was no question in his mind that she would grow used to the idea over time of sleeping with them both but was just going to take a little extra time. Her people were not used to polyamorous relationships. In her world if the women slept with more than one man, it carried a negative connotation.

  “And no one can ever know about this. If this ever got out that I had you both in my bed, everyone would be calling me a slut.”

  “I’d be calling you lucky.” Ryder chuckled.

  “Me, too.” She yawned and stretched. She was very tired despite her pleas to the otherwise. “I really like you two. I would have a hard time choosing between you,” she whispered as he laid her body down on the bed. She climbed under the covers and lay down on the bed.

  “You don’t have to choose. We both want you,” Saber replied.

  Her eyes closed, but she smiled in contentment. She was so exhausted he felt her relax in a few minutes and drift off to sleep.

  Ryder was true to his word and let her sleep while cradled in his arms. Saber was on her other side keeping her warm and stroking her soft hair away from her brow. It would be a long time before Ryder relaxed enough to sleep.

  Chapter Three:

  A Leap of Faith

  Lily’s dreams were a little more erotic than usual, and she remembered every hot and sweaty detail in vivid color when she woke up.

  It should not have surprised her considering she slept in the arms of her two sexy giants, but it left her irritable and frustrated the next morning. She was sure they purposely kept their legs entangled in hers, and when she attempted to wiggle free, she felt just a little too much of their hard bodies to not want more.

  She felt the brush of their hard cocks as they slid past her, and it did nothing to soothe the hot ache between her legs. She tried to slip out of bed unnoticed.

  It didn’t work.

  “Lily, are you all right?” Saber asked her in concern, but his amber eyes were half closed and filled with smoky lust. It was like he called her back with his body.

  “Yeah, I’m fine.” She felt the heat rise to her cheeks. She was horny, and they probably knew it, but if she told either one of them, they would be too happy to oblige. She just had to convince herself that she didn’t need to be filled with cock first thing in the morning.

  She needed a freaking cold shower to cool off.

  Ryder touched her back, and she felt a liquid heat rush between her thighs. “Why are you getting up? Come back to bed.”

  Heat flushed her cheeks.

  Damn. She wanted to.

  Yet she knew she couldn’t trust herself. Not after those erotic dreams still haunted her. Saber and Ryder were both there, but they were perfectly naked for her pleasure. The things she did and let them do to her shocked her and turned her on more than anything she had ever fantasized about.

  It made her curious if the hot dreams could become reality. Yet it still scared her. It was too much too soon.

  She made the mistake of looking back over her shoulder and at Saber’s shirtless chest and then glanced at Ryder and kept her attention focused on his face. The day-old beard left stubble on his square jaw. She could only imagine what it would feel against her skin. It might be rough at first, but that would just heighten her sensitivity, especially in a private area like between her thighs.

  She shivered before looking away. “I don’t think so. I really should get a shower.”

  They gave her their word they would not touch her, and after last night, she trusted them to keep it. It was herself she didn’t trust. She fought with herself. She wanted to jump back in bed and tell them what she really wanted and feel the satisfaction of getting fucked by two very sexy giants.

  “You sure that’s all you need?” Saber’s low and sexy tone was highly suggestive, and there was no doubt what he offered. Not to her.

  The breath caught in her throat at that mental image. Her voice cracked. “I’m sure. You guys go ahead and sleep in. I was so zonked last night that I didn’t even change out of my clothes. I need to get myself cleaned up. As soon as I’m done I will make breakfast and coffee and we can make our plans for the day.”

  “I could help scrub your back,” Ryder offered. He wasn’t wearing a shirt, and his chest muscles rippled as he yawned and stretched. Lily’s mouth watered.

  I bet you could scrub a whole lot more with that body.

  Lily gasped when she saw the sheet travel down a few more inches. Her eyes darted up to the ceiling quickly.

  “Oh no. I won’t need your help.” Lily felt an intense pressure build in her pussy and tried to escape before either man noticed how turned on she was this morning. She crossed the room quickly and shut the bathroom door. She took a moment to lean against the door and cupped her mound through her clothing in her hands. She needed some time to herself and to finally get some relief. She hoped neither man would hear what she had to say next. “Not for this.”

  Lily started the shower and undressed while the water warmed. In a few moments, hot water steamed up the mirrors. Naked, she stepped inside and let the warm water pelt her skin. She soaped up and closed her eyes, remembering bits and pieces of her dreams. It felt good to let her mind wander, and when she touched her breasts, she imagined it was Saber’s hands there, tweaking a nipple as it passed on its downward journey.

  Her breath slowed as her fingers fanned across her belly and her fingers
curled in her soft nether hair. She parted the outer lips to her pussy and circled the sensitive folds of her flesh. She played with her clit and tried to picture Ryder’s lips as he kissed her down there. He was just a little wild and unpredictable, but from what she had seen he liked being in control, and he would love to make her crazy for him in bed.

  Her lids fluttered as she pushed a finger inside her pussy, but it wasn’t enough. Ryder would be so much bigger when he filled her with his cock. She pushed in another finger and then retreated. It barely took the edge off. She needed satisfaction. The pressure built as she finger fucked herself.

  She pictured Ryder filling her and bringing her to a higher plane, but it wasn’t until Saber entered the same fantasy, licking the drops of water from her and kissing her everywhere, that she found release.

  Sweet ecstasy!

  Her knees felt weak, and her lust abated.

  Wow.

  Had she really just masturbated using the men next door as her fantasy?

  Lily used her forearms to lean against the tiled wall, letting herself soak up the water being rained down on her. The needlelike spray massaged her aching muscles and helped her lust dissipate.

  She had not masturbated in ages. Despite the fact she had no boyfriend, there just wasn’t a reason to.

  She felt breathless and dizzy, and there wasn’t a doubt in her mind the real thing would be one hundred percent better with the two men participating. It took a few minutes for her body to return to normal, but when it did, she turned off the water, dried off, and slipped on her robe.

  Both men stared at her as she exited. Their normally dark eyes had softened to an amber color. Ryder had mentioned their eyes change with their emotions. She wondered what amber meant, because they were both feeling it. Strongly.

  “Did you just…” Ryder’s hand covered his cock, and Lily felt a wave of heat flush her face. She had the strange feeling he was asking her if she masturbated, and that was not something she was ready to fess up to.

  “Yeah I just took a shower. If you want one, you can have it.”

  “I smell your sex,” Saber added in a raw voice.

  “What did you say?” Lily’s voice cracked.

  Ryder didn’t miss a beat. “You were wet and wanting. Why did you not ask if you wanted to be filled with our sex? We would have been happy to give you every sweet desire. You will have nothing but pleasure when you let us mate you.”

  “Whoa.” Shocked, she didn’t know what to say. Ryder knew what she had done in the shower. It was amazing he didn’t come in while she was playing with herself in the shower.

  “Excuse my brother.” Saber elbowed Ryder sharply in the ribs. “He’s not trying to embarrass you. He’s just a little excitable this early in the morning.”

  Ryder held his stomach as if the elbow had actually hurt a little. “I am sorry if I hurt you, Lily. I just can’t stop thinking about how much I want you. We’ll give you as much time as you need to decide if you want to be our mate.”

  Ryder’s stomach growled and reminded her that everyone would probably be thinking clearer with their basic needs met. While she wasn’t about to let her primitive instincts take over and fuck men she barely knew, there were some things she could help them with. She could feed them. “I don’t know about you, but I never make any decisions before I have had breakfast and my first cup of coffee. Now who’s hungry?”

  Both men gave her a hungry look that made her body tremble and her knees go weak. It seemed they were hungry in more ways than one, but she didn’t want to be the main course, so she hightailed it out of the bedroom.

  * * * *

  Lily spent all day with her warriors and amazingly had not lowered herself to her temptation to spend it fucking them. They came up with a plan to pretend she was interested in working for Girvan in the future.

  They would use her as bait and be able to get in behind his security.

  “Relax.” Lily noted both Ryder and Saber were on edge. Saber quietly regarded her with hawklike eyes, but his jaw was clamped tight while his brother brooded quietly next to him. Lily felt a pang of unease, but they didn’t have to worry. This plan was theirs, and they had gone over it too many times to fail.

  Their plan was going to work.

  It had to.

  “I still don’t like leaving you alone with that criminal,” Ryder grumbled. “Girvan is not a man to be toyed with.”

  “Neither do I,” Saber agreed.

  “We’ve been over this hundreds of times,” Lily said with a defiant smile. She had her own reservations, but she had to put on a brave face. It may be a stupid plan, but it was their best shot at nabbing Girvan. “You know he is going to be protected and he won’t let you near him. The moment he sees you, he is going to run away. He will recognize you, but he doesn’t know his mind control gadget won’t work on me. I can lure him to you. All you have to do is trust me.”

  “We do trust you.” Saber boldly met her eyes.

  “It’s Girvan we don’t trust. That criminal never plays by the rule book.” A muscle flicked angrily in Ryder’s jaw.

  “I’ll be okay, and if I need help, I do have the box.” Lily patted her chest where she hid the translator. She could talk to them or E.V.E. through the little black box and easily get help if she needed it. Lily didn’t doubt for one second that they would be able to rescue her if the need arose.

  But it wouldn’t. The plan was going to go off without a hitch.

  She had to make sure she didn’t have any doubts about that, despite the fear she felt in her gut, or Girvan may sense her apprehension and fear. She had to be confident this would work. Everything depended on her to make it work.

  “Well, hurry up because I want this to be over and done with so we can get back to dating you.”

  She blushed under Saber’s intense scrutiny.

  Ryder added, “Did I tell you how beautiful you looked today?”

  “No, you were too busy telling me what to do to make Girvan come out of the fund-raiser meeting. Just stay here while I do this thing.”

  The plan would work, but she wished she didn’t have to do it looking like a hooker in a miniskirt and six-inch heels. From what Saber and Ryder said, Girvan liked a well-dressed woman. It was the shirt that barely covered her breasts that really bothered her. The tight material squeezed her size D breasts that she’d tried to hide from the world all her life and pushed them up and out over the brim of her low-cut shirt. Black sequins lined the collar as if her breasts were not enough to draw anyone’s attention.

  She worked hard to cover up her body most the time, and to stop negative male attention. She dressed in dark colors, baggy clothes, and wore her hair up in neat little buns to make sure she didn’t attract the wrong kind of element.

  Now that she was trying to attract it, it felt sleazy. She wanted Ryder and Sable’s attention, not some power hungry alien criminal, but she couldn’t let Saber or Ryder feel her apprehension. Once this was over, they could finally be together and just focus on each other. Maybe in time she would feel comfortable exploring her strange attraction with one of them. She still couldn’t pick one even if she had to just yet.

  “I thought it would be better to get him as far away from other people as possible when we make his arrest. I am rethinking that we should be waiting for you inside the hotel room.”

  Lily’s heartbeat sped up, and her mouth suddenly felt dry. “That’s not the way we rehearsed it.”

  “But it will still work,” Saber urged while ushering her toward the cocktail party. His arm wrapped around her middle and held her close. It made her feel safe, and it was something she could easily get used to.

  “Okay,” she said as Ryder pressed a hotel key into the palm of her hand.

  He was right. It would still work.

  “Good luck,” Saber whispered before kissing her lightly.

  “With that outfit, she won’t need luck.” Ryder’s voice broke with huskiness.

  Lily’s cheeks flush
ed with heat under Ryder’s hungry gaze. His eyes seemed to darken to a deep-honey color with his lust. It made her wonder if it happened in the bedroom as well.

  “We can’t go any further or Girvan might see us and recognize one of us. Then he will run for sure.” Their skin had toned down from a light blue to a more natural human white. She wouldn’t have recognized them as the same men from the other day now. They were dressed in sleek business suits and had their hair tied back in ponytails. They were still larger than most men and difficult to hide, but the average person would probably assume they were part of the security detail at the hotel.

  Girvan would not make any such assumptions.

  “Okay. I guess it’s up to me.” Lily plastered a tremulous smile on her lips and tried to act more confident than she felt. If she failed, what would happen? Would Girvan rape her or kill her? Or worse? She wasn’t cut out for this spy business. Her stomach turned with worry.

  Curse her stupid resolve for not taking advantage of sleeping with them before now. What was she afraid of? She was a big girl, and now what if the worse happened and she didn’t get a chance to experience love in their arms? If she lived, she would be kicking herself for not taking advantage of the opportunity.

  Being with two men who were out-of-this-world hot only came once in a lifetime, and she could be missing her opportunity.

  “Good luck, Lily.” Ryder kissed her cheek before turning away.

  “I thought you said I didn’t need luck?” A half smile flashed on her face.

  “You won’t, but we’ll still be listening to see if you need any help.”

  “Thanks.” She nodded and walked on unsteady heels down the hall toward the reception. When she looked back again, they had disappeared from view.

  She licked her lips nervously and focused on her job. Well-dressed guests were beginning to appear for the event. It was an opportunity to make connections and show their support for a man who could be in a powerful government position in the near future. Most of the guests would expect something in return for their dollars in the form of laws or government kickbacks, but she had been in this business too long already to know that. Lily had worked with Mitch O’Reilly even before he decided to run for president and was just a governor over for the state of Nevada. Over the last ten years he had worked up to become a senator and she helped build his name into a recognizable household icon.
