Rage (Galactic Cage Fighters) (9 page)

“Who?”

Sersan sighed. “Zara. He had a short relationship with Zara back at the beginning of the circuit.”

Zara?
The tall, black haired, beautiful amazon. An unbidden image appeared in her mind of Rage bent over a naked Zara, taking her as he had only an hour ago taken Rachel. It tore her up inside. Made her want to strike out, to seek Zara and challenge her.
What the fuck was up with that?
The larger woman would kill her. Besides, Sersan said that they hadn’t been together in years. She needed to let this go.

Sersan
changed the subject as quickly as she could. “Ready to go for breakfast?”

“Let me grab a quick shower. It should only take five minutes.” She rushed through her shower and didn’t bother
drying her hair. She just pulled it up into a wet ponytail.

When they arrived for breakfast, most of the fighters had already finished and were heading off for training. Zen was still there
, a familiar halfsie female with him. She had been one of the two females she had seen Rage taking into his suite when she had first gone up to Talon’s suite. Damn it! It was bad enough to know Zara had had a relationship with Rage, but now she had to have breakfast with a woman who visited Rage often from what Talon had told her.

Rachel
had asked Talon about the women. She couldn’t help herself. Per Talon, the two women were Venetian, sex aliens for hire. The GCFA hired quite a few of these aliens to come along on the circuit to keep their fighters … happy. Talon assured her when she reacted with outrage about the whole thing that there were male Venetians available for her use as well. Unbelievable.

She ignored the Venetian and grabbed something from the buffet. She sat down and started shoveling food
into her mouth. She wanted to leave as soon as possible. The sex alien sniffed in her direction.
Oh shit.

“Hey
, human, why do you smell like Rage?” She was giving Rachel a disgusted look.

“Uh
… he was helping me train last night.”

She shook her head. “I smell his seed. I know his seed very well
, because I have tasted it and have worn it with pride many many times.”

Rachel clenched her hands under the table. She looked at the knife
by her plate. It was so close. So very close.

“Rachel, ready to go?”
Talon leaned over and removed the knife. She looked up into his eyes and found the will to calm herself.

“Yeah.
Let’s hit the mats.” She didn’t say anything else to the sex alien. She pulled her shoulders back and followed Talon out of the room.

“You okay?” Talon asked out in the hallway. They continued walking on towards the training facility.

“Sure.” She didn’t look at him but she could feel his eyes on her.

“She was
right, you have Rage’s seed on you … in you.”

“It’s nobody’s business but our own,” she said defensively.

He held up his hands. “Okay, okay. I’m just worried about you. Rage usually prefers a different type of woman.”

“A
halfsie or full blood alien?” she asked, anger in her voice.

“It’s true he very rarely sleeps with humans. But what I was going to say was that his type is usually women like Tia, a sex alien.”

“Sorry for jumping down your throat, Talon. It’s not your fault he’s a damn walking penis that will shove it in anything with a pussy.”

“In Rage’s defense, I have known him a long time and I
’ve never seen him act so possessive of any other woman as I have seen him act with you. He is different with you. He has never tried to have a relationship with any other woman in years.”

“Except for Zara.”

“How did you hear about her?”

“Doesn’t matter.”

“They were together briefly a long time ago. They have been nothing but friends ever since.”

It felt good hearing that from Rage’s best friend. “Let’s drop this topic and concentrate on keeping me alive through this fight.”

“Agreed. Hearing about my best friend’s penis is a buzz kill.”

Rachel laughed. The tension left her immediately. She was able to concentrate on her training.

They spent the next two hours practicing different submission holds and ways of breaking out of those holds. Talon was pleased with what she had learned from Rage. He also showed her a few new moves she hadn’t had a chance to learn yet.

They stopped right before lunch. Talon suggested that she should eat, take a long nap, and then start with warming
exercises when she woke back up to prepare her body for the fight. Talon left first and Rachel planned to follow, but a shadow crossed her path, blocking her way to the cafeteria.

“You’re doing very well
, Rachel,” Rage said. She didn’t know why it meant so much to her to have Rage compliment her fighting skills, but it did.

“Thanks
.” She tried to walk past him.

He reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her into his tight embrace. “I’ve missed you,” he whispered.

She leaned into him. It felt so good. But she felt like a fake. How could she be developing feelings for a man that was a part of her investigation? He didn’t really know her, either. When he found out, everything between them would be over. She closed her eyes and just savored being in his arms. “I really missed you, too.”

He kissed her briefly on the lips and then released her. “Come on, let’s get something to eat and then we will go
… nap just like Talon recommended.”

She smiled at him. “I don’t think Talon had you in mind when he suggested napping.”

He gave her a lustful look. “I promise you will nap … when I am done with you.”

She rolled her eyes at him and giggled. “You are going to be the death of me
, halfsie.”

They ate a quick lunch. Rage practically shoved the food down her throat and then
herded her out of the eating facility. When they reached his suite, Rachel headed to the bathroom to take a shower. She should have known he would not allow her to get naked without him being there.

She was standing inside the large shower putting shampoo in her hair. She felt a slight breeze on her backside and glanced
over her shoulder. Rage stood there in all his naked glory, fully aroused. Damn, the man was big everywhere.

“You are so beautiful,” he told her as he reached for the soap. He lathered up his hands,
rubbed the soap over her shoulders, down her arms, and up and down her smooth back. He especially took care to soap up her ass, spreading her cheeks wide and rubbing down her sensitive crease. She had never been a back door kind of girl, but she was definitely considering giving it a try if he wanted that.

He lathered up his hands again and pulled her back against his front. He reached around and smoothed suds over her breasts, her
tight stomach, and her hips. When he reached her shaved pussy, she was ready for him. She pushed her crotch further into his hands.

“Rage.”
She ached for him.

“
Shhh … I need to clean you everywhere,” he whispered in her ear and pressed a finger inside her.

He inserted a second
finger, pumping in and out of her while he pressed his cock against her ass. Her arousal heightened to the point where she needed to come desperately. She moaned as the pressure built up inside of her. “Please, Rage.”

He growled. “Put your hands against the wall.” He used his hands to push her gently but firml
y forward and bent her down at the angle he desired. “Spread your legs for me, baby.” He moved forward, pressing his stiff member to her dripping wet entrance.

Rachel tried to force him further into her by moving backwards
, but he slapped her ass and pushed her forward against the shower wall. The sting of the slap only increased her pleasure.

“Don’t move,” Rage ordered her. He could feel his beast rising. His eyes darkened and his body grew bigger, especially his manhood. He tightened his grip on her hip
s and slowly eased himself into her tight warmth from behind. Nothing felt as good as Rachel.

“More
… I need more.” Rachel was almost in tears. It felt painfully good. But she needed more of him moving inside her, harder and faster.

He complied by rammed into her faster, in and out. He slammed into her so hard that his heavy balls smacked her ass
, arousing her further. As they both reached their climax together, he knew no other woman would do. He was addicted to Rachel. She owned him body and soul and he wouldn’t want it any other way.

Chapter 10

“Johann and Poland here, live at the opening of the most anticipated circuit
for the Galactic Cage Fighters Championships in years. Poland, what has gotten everyone worked up for this circuit?”

“Well
, Johann, this GCFA circuit offers something that has never been offered before. A full human will be fighting.”

“That is quite different. This will be the first human that has made it to circuit level.”

“That’s not the only thing that’s got the crowd all abuzz! The human is also a woman.”

“I don’t think you could have picked a weaker specimen
than an human female. What was the GCFA thinking?”

“I believe the answer to that would be RATINGS
. It’s all about the ratings.”

The two commentators continued with their opening banter. Rachel listened in the holding room where fighters waited until it was time to go out to the cage. Her opponent was in a different holding room. She was nervous.

“Don’t listen to the commentators. It’s their job to build up suspense. They make things up most of the time. Once, they claimed that
me and Zen had a gay relationship. They’re just hoping for a larger viewing audience,” Talon told her.

Zen snorted
. “As if I would be with you. If I were going to be with a male fighter, it would be with Taurus. At least he can hang upside down by his feet. That’s a talent that could be quite interesting.” He wiggled his eyes a Rachel, making her laugh.

“Why would that be a determining factor?” Alana looked confused.

Taurus glared at Zen. “If you say anything else I will hang you up by
your
feet and leave you there.”

Zen laughed and went to sit down.
He wasn’t bothered by the threat in the least. Rachel was grateful for the distraction.

She looked around
, but Rage hadn’t come down yet. Would he get there before she had to go to her first fight? She knew he didn’t want her to fight. But to not come and support her on a big night like this was …

“Glad to see that you finally made it down
, Rage,” Talon greeted him as he stomped into the room.

“Yeah, sorry it took so long.” He was looking at Rachel when he replied. She gave him an appreciative smile.
“You nervous?”

She nodded her head. She couldn’t find the words to speak. Her throat was really dry. She had fought many times with sparring partners, but to have an audience watching was something new and a little intimidating. What would they think of her?

“Just remember your training and you’ll be fine,” he reassured her.

“They’re calling for the human to get in position for her introduction,” Zara called out.

“It’s Rachel!” she practically growled at the tall amazon woman.

“If you survive this
, human, I will call you by name,” Zara told her without emotion.

Right,
just survive this.

“This upcoming event is what most of us have been waiting to see
: the match between Rachel Starr, the human female from Earth, and Batina, a Sorian halfsie. What odds do you give the little human, Poland?”

“Well
, Johann, I say that the human has less than a thirty percent chance of making it to round two. Sorians are known to be extremely fast. I believe we will see that tonight.”

“I agree
, I expect to see a quick take down.”

“The fighters are making their way to the cage. Looks like Zara the Amazon is accompanying the human. Probably to ensure she doesn’t back out at the last minute.”

“
Batina is your opponent this evening. She and I have not been on best of terms. She’s all mouth. Ignore everything she says and concentrate on what you have been taught.”

Rachel looked at Zara with a confused look on her face.

“What?” Zara asked her angrily.

“That’s the most
helpful you have been since I came to the circuit.”

Zara sighed. “Concentrate human. If it gets to be too much, withdraw.” She helped Rachel into the cage and closed the door.

Rachel did a few quick stretches to loosen up her muscles. She could hear the roars of the crowd but didn’t want to look at them and get distracted. She was glad that everything was dark except for the cage itself. Her opponent gave her an evil smile.
Let the pain begin.
