Lovers of the Galaxy: Book Three: Raiders of the Lost Heart (7 page)

“Are you two crazy? Why aren’t you…?” She stopped
struggling and glared at her mates. “What the hell are they? Is
this normal for your race?” She collapsed onto the pillows and
crossed her arms over her breasts.

Jaxxon placed the scanner on the table next to her
and grinned. “Remember, we changed your body, and we are the
children's sires. Those worm things, as you called them, are
Toras
. They form as soon as a child is conceived. The
organism’s life span is as long as our children are in you. Toras
feed off any waste and toxins in the mother’s womb.” He put his
hand on her stomach and caressed it.

“If it wasn’t for those little worms, our children
would die. The toxin we used to change you would kill them before
they built up the immunity to handle it.”

Venus let out the breath she held and twined her hand
in Jaxxon’s. “Okay, I can handle that. Is there anything else I
need to know? Like what is the gestational period for Azutuan
children?”

“I need to go hunting.” Volund leaned over to kiss
her forehead. “Jaxxon will explain everything to you. However…” He
waited until her attention was on him before he continued. “I’m
happy for you if this woman is your grandmother, but until Jaxxon
is one hundred percent sure she is safe and cannot harm you or the
babies, you must keep your distance from her.”

She licked her lips and watched as Volund bent and
grabbed his weapons. He gave her a perfect shot of his bare,
muscular buttocks under his kilt.

“Damn, you have a fine ass.” She reached over and
pinched him quickly before he could move. Rolling to the other side
of the bed, she squealed and laughed when Volund turned faster than
she anticipated and caught her legs.

With a strong, gentle grip, he pulled her to him.
“You’re lucky I need to hunt, but I promise to see to your needs
soon, little warrior.” He swatted her butt twice before he released
her and whistled some sort of tune. He walked to the door, but
Venus jumped off the bed and captured his arm. He stopped and
smiled down at her.

“Volund, please be careful. I don’t like you going
out alone. Those things are getting smarter. Take your pets with
you, please.”

He rested his big hands on her hips and slowly picked
her up until her eyes were even with his. “Nothing will happen, but
if it will ease the stress on you then I will take our pets. They
need to run anyway.” He kissed her lips softly, and she snapped her
legs around him, her mound brushing against his cock.

He moaned. “I’m not going to get any hunting done if
you keep doing this to me.” He backed her up against the wall and
cupped her breasts, pulling and pinching her nipple with his thumb
and index finger.

“Jaxxon, take care of our mate’s needs, please. I
really need to go before it gets dark.” He bit her shoulder and
unhooked her legs from his waist. He stepped away, but not before
he kissed her nose. “Be good.”

Jaxxon took his place, a cocky grin stretching his
mouth, kilt gone, and his black hair loose just as she liked it.
She drew in her breath as she watched him slide two fingers into
her pussy. “You are damp with eagerness to have my sapin inside
you
.”

She dug her nails into his shoulder and licked up the
side of his neck to his pointed ear where she sucked the tip into
her mouth. Two could play this game. She only hoped he would cave
before she would, but his fingers were delicious magic.

“I think we are both going to go up in flames if we
don’t stop the teasing.” Venus scraped her teeth gently over the
tip of his ear.

He sucked in a breath and stared down at her with
that same wicked grin on his face.

“I have just what you need. There is no reason for
you to beg.” He walked her backward to the bed where he turned her
and laid her face down. She leaned on her forearms, ass in the air,
and glanced back at him. His legs brushed hers right before he
thrust into her.

“I didn’t beg. God, more, Jaxxon,” she pleaded.

He grunted right before he slapped her ass once,
twice. He pushed a finger in her pussy alongside his cock
stretching her more. “After you have our children, maybe Volund and
I will both take you in your pussy at the same time.”

Jaxxon’s words only turned up the fire inside her.
“No talking. More!”

He removed his well-lubed finger and worked it into
her ass. Keeping a constant rhythm with the thrusts of his cock, he
urged, “Come, Venus. Let yourself go.”

The fine hairs on his cock worked that one spot both
her men had found the first couple of times they’d made love to
her. Once they concentrated on it, she was lost. She clenched the
blanket under her, pushed her hips back, and matched his strokes.
She braced herself on her arms and screamed his name. “Jaxxon!”

The bed banged against the wall with each of his
thrusts. He leaned over her and sought her breasts then squeezed
and pulled on her nipples. “Give me another one, Venus,” he
whispered into her ear.

She shook her head, dropping onto the bed, another
orgasm spreading through her all the way down to her toes. “You two
are going to kill me, but what a way to go,” she mumbled when he
released his seed into her.

“Not a chance, we both know you can take much more.
However, we also know you are worried about your grandmother.” He
pulled out of her and slapped her butt affectionately.

She looked behind her. He wasn’t even out of breath
or sweating. Her men’s stamina never ceased to surprise her.

“Go get in the shower,” he ordered gently. “I’ll
clean up out here. When you’re done, we’ll finish those tests and
make sure your grandmother is resting comfortably. Maybe when
Volund gets back and we're sure she isn’t dangerous, we can
separate her from the others and bring her up here.”

A tear slipped down her cheek as she stood and hugged
him. “I don’t know how I ever survived without you two. I love you,
Jaxxon. Thank you.” She kissed his chest and turned away, but he
pulled her back around and into his arms. His warm lips covered
hers. Slowly, he slid his tongue into her mouth. If tongues could
dance, his performed an erotic tango.

Jaxxon bent her backward. He trailed his rough hand
down her body where he thrust three fingers into her pussy. He
broke the kiss and stared down at her as he continued his
passionate assault. “Do you know it’s been two days since I have
heard those words,” he snarled. “I thought to let you rest, but I
cannot.”

He lowered her onto the bed the bed again and kneeled
between her legs. “First I need a taste of your nectar.”

Jaxxon placed her legs on his shoulders and lowered
his head. He lapped at her folds before he separated her lips and
pushed his tongue into her.

Stars danced in her vision as he latched onto her
clit, sucking hard. She fisted her hands in his hair her breaths
coming now in gasps. He held her hips in place, preventing her from
moving. Never once did he stop his worship of her sex.

“Jaxxon, please!” she screamed. Tiny, powerful
orgasms spiraled through her. She cried out when he moved up and
entered her a second time. He was larger than before, thicker.

“You are ours, Venus, and we will not lose you.” He
held her ankles and spread her wider as he made love to her. She
stared up at him as he watched his cock go in and out of her pussy.
“You are even beautiful as your body takes my sapin and
mirellae
into you.” He grunted on the last word. His seed,
hot and slick, poured into her.

All thought left her as she shook. She grabbed onto
the bed clutching at the blanket under her. “Jaxxon,” she
whispered, moaning.

He rubbed her leg muscles before he set each one down
on the bed then scooped her up and strode to the bathroom with her.
“I’m sorry, Venus. I yell at Volund for being too rough as he makes
love, and then I claim you like a beast.” He scowled and sat her on
the bathroom counter. “I will run your bath water.”

Venus trailed her fingers up his back and tugged on a
strand of his hair. “Stop worrying so much. I’m fine. Matter of
fact, I’m more than fine, and any time you want to claim me again,
please do. Our lovemaking is so intense.” She smiled up into his
face when he turned to pick her up and step into the water.

“We will see, but for now I am going to clean you,
dress you, make sure you eat something, and then we can go and
check on your Gram.” He nuzzled her neck. “I love you, Venus. Thank
you for being such an incredible woman.”

Venus studied the lab results from the other females.
They all seemed to be on the similar transformation path her Gram
had taken. The younger girl was developing at a much faster rate
than the other two. It would seem the older a woman was, the longer
it took for her to change.

She peeked over the computer at Jaxxon. He fretted
about the blood samples. She couldn’t help the grin spreading over
her face. He’d fed her, bathed her, and made sure she’d put on all
her protective clothing before they’d entered the room.

“Venus?” Belinda whispered.

She smiled and moved away from the computer to sit in
the chair next to her Gram’s gurney. “You were sleeping when we
came in, so I didn’t want to wake you. I know this is taking a lot
out of you, but soon you’ll be able to come upstairs. I’ve missed
you Gram.”

Gram didn’t look like the typical grandmother. Years
before the breakout, medical teams had slowed the aging process.
Yes, her grandmother still had the body of a twenty six year old,
even though she was well over that. Venus realized that Gram should
be able to have children for the next twenty years.

Jaxxon rose, removed something from a small
refrigerator, and then handed her a bottle of water. “Drink, Venus.
You have been working non-stop for two hours. Volund should be
returning shortly.” He turned, looking down at her grandmother.
Gently, he took her vitals.

“You are doing quite well. I believe it is safe to
move you upstairs, but for now we will place you in your own room
just to make sure.” He put her information into one of the computer
tablets Venus had salvaged for the labs then used an old-fashioned
pen to jot the same info into the notes section of Dr. Zeon’s
experiments journal.

“Jaxxon, did you notice the horns in her back have
started to shrink?” She stood and held her hand out to him for the
tablet. She frowned at her grandmother’s health information. “The
biggest one has already shrunk three inches. At this rate, they
should be gone by tomorrow.”

Volund slid his arms around her and kissed her cheek.
“What’s wrong? Jaxxon said Belinda, can move upstairs. I thought
that would make you happy.” He rested his hands on her belly.

She turned and draped her arms around Volund’s neck,
greeting him, but not before she rolled her eyes at her Gram,
earning her a smile.

“We still can’t see any change in her reproduction
organs. I’m worried. We won’t know much until the change is
complete and even then we’re going to have to take a sample of her
eggs.”

A derisive snort issued behind her, and she busted
out laughing.

“Now we know where you learned that trait,” Volund
teased.

Gram reached for the light stylus on the table where
Venus had placed the tablet. Stepping closer, Venus watched her
write on the glowing notepad feature:
Don’t worry about me. Love
you, Venus.

In the other room, the crackle of the communicator
drew her attention. Venus drew a deep breath and tried to compose
herself, wiping tears away as Volund strode to the storage
room.

With a smile on her face, she turned back to her Gram
and leaned over, whispering, “I love you, Gram, and I can’t wait to
have you in my life again. Be back in a minute.”

“Earth Station One,” an unfamiliar voice called
across the air waves. “Come in, please. This is Sky Streamer
Three.”

Venus jumped and grabbed the extra pistol she kept at
the side cabinet by the door to the lab. She drew her pistol as she
scanned the room. Nothing.

With the mumbled words and the activity of Volund in
the next room, Venus slipped out of the lab with her weapon still
in her hands. Jaxxon stood behind Volund.

She’d seen her men carry many things in from their
ship, but she didn’t remember seeing this. Foreign equipment was
now patched into the high-tech communications system. Badden must
have been working on the station. He’d been busy that was for sure.
Before when someone had called their voices were muffled, now it
was if they were in the same damn room with them.

Volund sat on a chair and moved his fingers quickly
over the multi-colored panel. Occasionally, he would frown and
tighten a wire or add a new one.

“Earth Station One here. Go ahead, Sky Streamer
Three.” Although Volund spoke, there were no microphones that she
could see.

“We should be entering your solar system within the
next twenty-four Earth hours. Respond with coordinates,
please.”

Jaxxon turned and, seeing the gun in her hands,
questioned her with his eyes.

“Sorry, didn’t know you’d fine-tuned the equipment.
It was so loud. Warn me next time so I don’t have heart failure,
please. I thought for sure someone was here”

Venus sighed and put the weapon away before returning
to stand in the main entrance way to the bank tapping her hand on
the counter, surveying the bank’s main entrance. With more men
coming every few days, in no time this place was going to become
very crowded. Even now with the children it was getting smaller. It
was a good thing that she knew they were planning to expand into
the nearby buildings.

Jaxxon frowned at his brother when he switched their
side of the communicator off so the third party could not hear
them. “So Tapio has sent two former death squad captains to Earth
for the re-settlement,” he pointed out, “but he has also burdened
them with a full squadron. Do you not find it odd that the other
leaders would allow Tapio to send such dangerous men here so soon?
We can use the added protection, but full squads?”
