Alphas Unleashed (6 page)

“Aaron!” Hanine cried out, arching into him.

“Yes, Hanine. Say my name. Call for me, baby,” Aaron whispered as he ran his tongue along her earlobe. “Tell me you want this as badly as I do. I need to know that you are sure, Hanine. I need to know.”

“Yes. Oh, yes,” Hanine breathed on in a dazed voice. “What magic is this that I burn inside for you all the time?”

Aaron leaned back and stared down at her with a serious expression. He wanted her to know that the magic they were creating was caused by them. That she wanted him for who he was. He knew he loved her. He had known it for months but she had only just discovered him a few short weeks ago. He didn’t think he could survive her thinking what was happening was a mistake or caused by something beyond the two of them together.

“We are the magic, Hanine. You and I, together,” Aaron said quietly, calmly. “I love you. I have from the moment you rolled your beautiful eyes. I love the way you move and your tenacity. I love your strength and how protective you are of your sister. I love how your eyes glow when you do something you know others don’t have a clue about. I love you and the way you hide my gifts to you.”

“How do you know about all those things?” Hanine whispered in awe. “How do you know so much about me?”

“I see you, Hanine,” Aaron replied with a tender smile. “I see the beautiful woman hidden behind the mask.”

Hanine’s eyes glittered with tears. She had never heard anything so beautiful and precious. Reaching up, she sealed her lips to his. She let him know what she couldn’t say. She understood what her sister saw in this strange alien species. They were nothing like the Marastin Dow males. They were much, much stronger.

She pulled frantically on the clothing hiding him away from her touch. She wanted to touch him as he was touching her. She leaned upward as his hand slid under her shirt.

“Off,” she panted.

“Hanine?” Aaron choked out in confusion. “What did I…?”

“Off! I need your clothes off now,” she demanded. “I need mine off. I need you!”

Aaron’s eyes brightened in understanding. She wasn’t telling him to get off of her. She wanted him! She needed him as badly as he needed her. Rolling off her, he stood next to the bed and grabbed the end of his shirt, jerking it over his head. He quickly toed off his boots and pushed his pants off. His eyes watched with growing heat as Hanine did the same with her own clothing. Neither one of them caring where the articles of cloth fell, only that they fell away from their skin.

They fell together in a twisting explosion of skin, violet against tan, soft female against hard muscle. Aaron twisted so that Hanine was on top of him. He feared he would hurt her. He moaned loudly when she rose up over him and reached down to grip his throbbing, aching shaft in her hand. Her fingers wrapped around him, holding him still long enough for her to align it with her slick entrance.

He broke the kiss the moment his pre-cum mixed with hers. A shattering heat raced through his cock, pooled low in his balls and sent a shockwave of tingling need up his spine. The force of her body wrapping around his left him panting. His limited experience with women had not prepared him for the effect of being with the woman he loved.

“Hanine!” Aaron called out hoarsely. “Oh God!”

“You like?” She grinned down at him before twisting her hips.

“Baby,” he choked out, cupping her face between his hands and pushing up into her.

Her moan combined with his as the dozens of small sexual nubs that ran along her vaginal walls released more fluid making her slicker even as they swelled deep inside her. The combination of it was driving him crazy. He could feel every one against his cock as he moved inside her.

His hands moved up to her breasts. He pinched her swollen nipples between his fingers. She bowed backwards, pressing down onto him. He swore as the tip of his cock brushed her womb as she sat back on him.

“Yes!” She groaned, pressing into his hands. “Like that. Oh Aaron. Yes!”

He rose up, encouraging her to ride him. He wanted to watch her face as she came. He knew the gentle rhythm of their bodies coming together wasn’t going to last long. Sweat beaded on both their brows as they fought the desire so they could make this moment last as long as possible.

“I can’t… I can’t…,” Hanine panted looking down into Aaron’s blazing eyes. “Oh Aaron!” She groaned out, falling forward as her body exploded around his hard shaft.

Aaron dropped his hands to her waist and he began frantically moving. He could feel her fisting him. It was becoming more and more difficult to pull backwards. His eyes widened when he felt the sensitive edge surrounding the bulbous part of his cock catch as he pushed back into her. His balls pulled up tightly before he exploded deep inside her. He rose up, still holding her hips as his eyes widened at the force of his release.

“Hanine. Oh baby. Hanine,” he chanted over and over as his pulsed into her before collapsing backwards with her on top of him. He stared up at the ceiling while he soothingly ran his hands along her back. “I love you, my beautiful swan. I love you.”

Chapter 8

“Evetta, what is wrong?” Hanine asked when she saw her sister hurry into their quarters. “What are you doing?”

Hanine followed Evetta’s frantic movements as she pulled a small bag out of the hidden panel. Her eyes widened in alarm as she saw Evetta pulling out the weapons they had been covertly stashing over the past six months since they met Ben and Aaron. They had both talked about preparing for the time when they may have to run…escape the life they had been forced into. It was unheard of for a Marastin Dow to do something so risky. The few who had tried were publicly executed to dissuade others from trying.

“An order for a change of command has been given,” Evetta said hoarsely, not stopping what she was doing. “All personnel will be moved. I copied a list coming down,” she glanced at Hanine, fear darkening her eyes. “They are arresting us and will separate us. Behr and those working under him have been ordered to return to the home world under guard. I overheard one of the Commanders say that they are to be executed for treason. A group of armed security personnel has been transferred on board. They will find Ben and Aaron. They will be executed immediately, Hanine. We have to leave now.”

Hanine’s face paled. She nodded before turning when a loud noise echoed through the room. Someone was trying to break into their room and the warning sensors that she had developed triggered.

“Why would they come for us?” She asked confused. “We are not connected to Behr.”

Evetta looked in despair at her sister. “I saw Inez being led by security earlier. She must have said something. What are we going to do?”

Hanine’s face tightened in determination when she heard the shouts for a manual door opener to be brought. She turned and opened the small desk drawer. Pulling out the small box containing all of the creatures Aaron had made for her, she leaned over and pulled out the emergency bags they kept under their bed. She slid the box into it before slinging the straps over her shoulder.

Next, she pulled the small tablet from her hip and swiped her finger across it. She opened the program that she had developed. With a press of her thumb, she opened it and entered several command codes. The lights began to flash in the room for several moments before going out. The soft glow of the emergency lights cast an eerie shadow.

“What happened?” Evetta asked, looking around startled.

“I’ve shut down the power to everything but environmental,” Hanine bit out.

“What?! How?” Evetta stared in shock at her little sister.

A cold smile curved Hanine’s lips. “I knew this day would come. I didn’t just sit every day watching the warship’s grids. I learned and programmed my own codes. We won’t have much time. Hold onto my arm.”

“What are you going to do?” Evetta whispered.

“I’m not going to sit around and watch Aaron die,” Hanine said. “We are going to steal one of the attack transports. I have one that I have reprogrammed. They won’t be able to take control. We have to leave now, Evetta.”

Evetta grabbed Hanine’s arm just as the door to their living quarters cracked open. She felt a wave of disorientation before everything blurred. A moment later, she was in the lower corridors outside of Ben and Aaron’s rooms. She swayed for a moment before locking her knees.

She jerked when a figure ran by her, knocking her into the doorway. Firm hands that she would know anywhere grabbed her, catching her when she would have fallen. She tilted her head backwards to stare into Ben’s grim eyes.

“How did you get here? Behr and the others are preparing to leave,” Ben growled. “It is too dangerous for you to be here.”

“It was too dangerous for us to be above deck as well,” Hanine said, glancing around Ben’s tall form with a frown. “Where is Aaron?”

Ben’s face turned even darker. “He was out when Behr received the call to escape.”

“We have to go now,” Behr said striding toward them. “My warship is docking underneath even now. We won’t have much time once they get the power back online.”

“I took it down. It will take them half an hour to reboot the system. I can lock down the weapons system for slightly longer. Where is Aaron?” Hanine said stubbornly. “I will not leave without him.”

“He was in the flight deck access tunnel the last I heard,” Behr said before looking at Ben. “We have to leave. He will not make it in time. You’ll have to go without him.”

“Would you leave one of your brothers behind?” Ben asked harshly.

He already knew the answer after the numerous hours he had spent in Behr’s company. The man was a true leader. If it meant freedom for the masses, he would not only leave his brother behind but sacrifice himself for the cause. Ben wasn’t so noble. He would not leave Aaron behind.

Instead, he turned to Evetta. “Go with him,” he ordered. “I’ll find Aaron and find a way to get to you.”

Evetta shook her head. “I will not leave you and I know Hanine will not leave Aaron. We will stay by your side and find a way together.”

Behr cursed when one of his men ran up to him and muttered a few hoarse words. He turned back to Ben, Evetta and Hanine. His lips were tight with anger.

“We have to leave now,” he said. “I am asking you to come with me.”

“And I’m telling you no. Thank you and good luck, Behr. You are a good man and a strong leader. If anyone can change your world, I believe you can,” Ben said, holding out his hand.

Behr stared into the stubborn face of the alien male he had met four years ago and who had given them the foundations they needed to change his world. He gripped Ben’s hand tightly in his before letting it go with a brief nod.

“Good luck,” Behr said harshly before he barked out an order to the rest of the crew waiting for him.

Ben watched as his savior and friend disappeared. He looked down into Evetta’s eyes, regret and rage ripping through him. This was the moment he feared the most.

“It is not over yet,” Hanine assured him quietly. “I have a way for us to escape but we cannot go without Aaron. I will not go without him.”

Ben glanced at the young female who had become the center of his brother’s world. He saw determination and a steely resolve in the stiff lines of her body. The odds of making it out of this was a million to one but he had a feeling that all they needed was that one chance to be successful.

“Let’s go,” Ben said.

*.*.*

Aaron wiped the sweat out of his eyes. The only thing guiding him back to the lower levels was his knowledge of the tunnels and the soft red glow of the emergency lights. He had been up on the upper level section of the receiving bay when he overheard the communication between the warship and another ship.

When he heard Behr’s name he knew trouble had found the man who had become their friend. He had immediately contacted Behr when he peered out of one of the grates and saw at least a dozen security officers disembarking from a transport shuttle.

He was half way down to the lower cargo bay when the lights went out. Now, he was working his way down from it to the lower levels. His only hope was that Hanine would be untouched by whatever was going down. He had no misconceptions that his and Ben’s lives were about to change for the worse.

He paused when he saw a figure round the narrow passage. The curse on his lips died when he recognized his brother’s large, lanky form. He hurried forward only to slow in anger when he saw that Ben wasn’t alone.

“What in the hell do you think you are doing?” He bit out in a fierce whisper. “You are going to get them killed!”

He watched as Ben was pushed to the side as Hanine squeezed by him. A moment later she threw herself into his arms. A shudder went through him as he wrapped his arms protectively around her.

“What are you doing here, Hanine? You should be safely tucked away in your quarters,” he muttered against her neck.

“They came for us,” she whispered. “They broke through the door. We escaped. I couldn’t leave you. I love you, Aaron. I cannot leave you.”

Aaron looked with tortured eyes at Ben. He fought back a groan when he saw the regret in his older brother’s eyes. A sense of hopelessness washed through him.

“Maybe if…,” he started to say.
