Taurus (Galactic Cage Fighters (Book Three)) (17 page)

“Get your mind back on this match, Taurus,” Rage told him while punching him in the arm.

“Fine,” Taurus grumbled giving one last glance at Maya. At least she wasn’t stretching anymore.

*****

Maya finished her dress rehearsal before Taurus. She had to head back to wardrobe to give them her outfit for a quick cleaning. Then she wanted to take a quick shower before going to the orphanage again. She had butterflies in her stomach just thinking about going back to that place. What if the male was there instead of on the ship? The same guy that chased her into a wall? She shivered with dread.

Trig and Rachel checked out the inside of the suite thoroughly then Trig waited out in the hallway. Rachel was in the main living space on the sofa.

“I’ll take a quick shower,” Maya called out as she walked into the bedroom.

She was grateful that Taurus had someone bring up more clothes for her. When looking in the closet, it looked like she had moved in. That didn’t bother her, but it was something they had not discussed yet.

She went into the connecting bathroom and turned on the shower. While the water was warming up, she removed her clothes. She stepped into the shower cautiously. As soon as the steaming warm water ran over her shoulders and down her body, she moaned from the relaxing comfort she felt. 

She took a rag and soap lathering it up. Then she ran the sudsy rag over her arms. She moved it up over her shoulders, then down her front. She lathered her breasts and moved down her stomach to her pussy.

A cold breeze blew into the shower. She jumped in surprise when male arms wrapped around her waist pulling her against a naked and fully aroused Taurus.

“You almost scared me to death.”

“Sorry, baby.” He nuzzled her neck.

She sighed and leaned further back against him. She rubbed her ass against his stiff cock causing him to growl. “I missed you.”

He gently cupped her face and turned her head toward him so he could take her lips. He didn’t just touch his lips to hers, he melded their mouths, fused them together. His tongue fucked her the way he planned to fuck her with his whole body.

When he released her mouth, she moaned his name, “Taurus.”

His hands cupped her breasts squeezing and massaging. He tweaked her nipples into tight points. One hand released a breast to slowly run down her nearly flat stomach to her thatch of hair. He teased her lower lips.

Maya reached behind her and grasped his cock. She squeezed and stroked him up and down. He was like steel covered in silk. It was a sexy combination. Suddenly, she pushed out of his arms.

“Maya?” Taurus was confused.

She turned to look at him with a devious smile. A look she learned by watching Coco. She knew it was having the effect she wanted when his eyes glazed over a little with desire. She ran her hands up and down his chest. She slowly lowered herself to her knees before him. His back faced the showerhead so she wasn’t getting hit full force in the face.

“Baby, I don’t think—” Taurus’s voice cut off the moment her sweet lips parted and took his shaft inside her mouth.

Maya was nervous. She had never done this before. She had seen movies with the act and her few friends often talked about it. She hoped that she could do it right for him. He always sought to please her first. This time, she wanted him to feel the pleasure first.

She cupped his balls in one hand squeezing and kneading them gently. Her other hand held his cock. It was huge and she wasn’t sure she would be able to take him completely in her mouth. She used her hand to help her caress him.

“Damn, female, that feels so good,” Taurus said with a sex-laden voice.

He pumped himself in and out of her mouth. She sucked him and it was fucking hot. He felt the heat building up in his lower half. He was going to lose it.

“I’m going to come,” he warned her.

She sucked harder and squeezed him. Her first taste of him was salty and masculine. She liked it. She sucked even harder and began milking everything from him.

“Fuck!” Taurus threw his head back as the control was taken from him. His semen poured into her mouth and she took every drop.  When he looked back down and saw the desire for him in her eyes, he realized how lucky he was.

He leaned down picking her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist automatically as he put her back to the stall wall. Then he plunged upward into her. All restraints were gone. He drove into her as he took her mouth again. His only thought was to make her his.

He used his body to press her against the wall and his fingers and toes dug into the tile moving them upward every time he surged into her. Over and over he took her higher and higher until she screamed out her orgasm. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, and she was
his.

“Wow,” was the only word she could get out. They had practically fucked themselves up the damn wall.

“You can say that again.” He chuckled.

Chapter Twenty

Maya shivered as she looked around the room at the orphanage that she had hidden in the other day. She had always been bad with directions so it took about twenty minutes for her to find the correct room.

Zara was actually very helpful. She had come along in case there was something out of place from last time. Zara remembered what areas that they had visited. It made it easier for Maya to locate the room she had hid in.

Rachel was viewing the room from one corner to the next. Trig stood in the hallway.

“How close were you standing to the next room?”

“About where you are now. I was close enough to hear the male talking, but not close enough to the door to see inside. As soon as I heard him end the conversation, I ducked into this room and closed the door part way.”

“When the male walked by, did you see anything that could make him stand out?” Rachel asked, testing the door.

“Not really. I was looking down. I saw dark pants and dark shoes. I tried to look up for a face but he was walking too fast.”

“So that’s all you saw?” Trig frowned.

“Yes.  Wait! No, I saw a ring, a silver ring on his right hand.”

“Did it have a design or stone?” Trig came closer.

“I think it did. It had a shape of a head or something. I’m sorry, it all happened so fast and I was upset.”

“It’s okay.” Trig went to pat her on the back but dropped his hand when Taurus growled at him. “Our forensic guys are checking for prints next door as we speak.”

“Special Agent Roberts, would it be possible for me to visit with a little girl that I met last time?”

“Does it have to do with this investigation?”

“It might.” Maya looked at Zara. “Remember the little girl Lucy whose brother was adopted out?”

Zara nodded. She ignored the people staring at her. “Yes. She seemed upset.”

“I think the people who adopted her brother might be involved.”

“Why do you think that?” Rachel asked.

“I may not have as much alien DNA in me, but what I do have manifests in other ways. I have better instincts about things. My instincts are screaming that there is something weird with that adoption.”

“I can’t investigate a bad feeling,” Trig told her with frustration.

“You are stupid then. Most people get in trouble because they do not listen to their instincts and those who do tend to stay out of harm’s way. I would rather investigate this than to ignore it and it be the key to everything.” Zara glared at him.

“Fine! What’s the girl’s name?” Trig threw his hands up in the air in surrender.

“Uh…Lucy.” Maya felt so stupid. Why didn’t she remember if the girl had a last name? Granted, most halfsies did not have last names.

Trig looked at her funny until Taurus stepped in front of her. “I need more than that to find her.”

Maya spoke up. “The little girl is an Arian halfsie. She is six years old with brunette hair and blue eyes. Her name is Lucy and her brother’s name is Luke. Her brother was adopted a year ago by a human family going by the last name, Sampson. How’s that?”

“At least it’s something to go on,” Trig acknowledged. He pulled Rachel to the side to talk to her in whispered tones. When they were done talking, Trig left the room.

“He’s going to get the director of the orphanage and put in the request for the little girl to come here. We don’t want you walking through the halls drawing more attention than necessary,” Rachel told her.

Rachel’s phone rang. “Yes? Rage? I’m fine. We’ll be back in an hour or so. I miss you, too.” She walked out into the hallway to talk more privately.

Taurus was checking out the books lining the bookshelves. The room they were in was a small library. She had missed that fact the last time she had been there.

Zara was standing by the window. She looked so sad. Maya approached her and spoke in hushed tones.

“You should ask Special Agent Roberts for help in locating your daughter.”

Zara glanced over to make sure Taurus wasn’t paying attention. “It’s been too long. The trail is cold. I don’t have any pictures to go on. Everything that had been Angel’s was confiscated in the IDJ raid on the facility years ago.”

“But that’s just it. Special Agent Roberts would have access to those files and maybe even the items confiscated.”

A light of hope sparkled in Zara’s eyes. “Do you think he would be willing to help me though?”

“I’m sure if you ask nicely…okay…maybe you could have Rachel ask him for you.”

“Rachel is not my biggest fan.”

“I’ll ask him then.”

Zara shook her head. “It would probably be a waste of his time.”

She wanted to help Zara but what else could she do? She went over to where Taurus was sitting on a sofa pretending to read a book. He wasn’t really reading it. She could feel his eyes on her the entire time. She sat beside him and he reached to pull her close to him.

“How are you holding up?” he asked her.

“Fine. You look bored.” She smiled when he tried to pretend that he wasn’t. “Come on, Taurus. Are you really reading the…” she grabbed the book out of his hands and turned it over to look at the title on the front of the cover.

“The Life and Times of a Galactic Centipede.” She looked into his eyes and they started to laugh.

“Okay, so the reading material is a little lame. But I’m glad to be here for you.”

She leaned up to kiss his lips quickly. “Thank you. I appreciate you coming with me. I feel safer with you around.”

He wasn’t satisfied with the quick peck. He cupped the back of her head and brought her lips back to his. He sucked her bottom lip into his mouth and nibbled it. She moaned with pleasure.

“I think I am going to be sick,” Zara called out from the other side of the room. “Can’t you guys keep your hands off one another for an hour?”

They pulled apart. Taurus frowned but Maya blushed. “You could leave us alone,” Taurus grumbled.

“Oh no. If I leave the two of you alone you’ll be having sex in a matter of seconds. That will not be a good impression for the little people who live here.”

Rachel and Trig walked back inside and they were followed by a pretty little girl in pigtails. The moment she saw Maya the little girl’s face lit up.

“Maya!” She ran over and gave Maya a hug.

“Hi, Lucy. I’m glad you remembered me. These are my friends. You met Zara already. This is Taurus.”

The little girl looked up at Taurus in awe. “The Ape Man?”

Maya watched in amazement as Taurus’s usual reserved persona faded away. He gave the little girl a huge smile and made monkey noises, which caused the little girl to break into laughter. Maya giggled, too. The sight of Taurus with the little girl did funny things to her heart.
Would he be this way with their children?
She had to quickly look away for fear that Taurus would see it in her eyes. Most males feared commitment like a wife and family.

Maya turned back to the little girl. “Lucy, have you seen your brother? Did the Sampsons come again?”

The little girl pouted. “They came but still didn’t pick me. I begged them, but they refused.” A tear ran down her little cherub face.

Maya picked her up and sat her in her lap. She gave her a gentle hug. “It’s going to be okay, sweetie. Did they say why they didn’t want to adopt you?”

Lucy nodded her head. “The male argued with the female about needing a stronger male child, preferably a Biclops.”

Maya looked up at Trig and Rachel. Trig held up a folder. “I’ve got their file. Rachel and I are taking it back with us to the GCFA ship to review.”

The little girl looked up at Maya with hope. “Are you going to adopt me? I wanted to be with Luke but that doesn’t seem to be happening.”

Maya looked over at Taurus. “I wish that I could. I’m not married and they usually only let married couples adopt children. But if I were to adopt anyone, it would certainly be you.” She kissed the little girl’s cheek.

“I think it’s time to head back,” Trig said.

*****

The man with the silver ring paced back and forth in his room. He jumped when his phone rang. “Yeah?”

“What have you been doing?” a man’s angry voice demanded over the phone.

“Nothing. She was supposed to have a photo shoot but it was postponed for later. She was surrounded by agents the whole day. I couldn’t get near her. Then she left the damn ship.”

The unseen man on the phone continued to yell. “She accompanied the IDJ agent to the orphanage! We are going to have to completely cut all ties and connections there.”

The man with the ring paled. “All ties? Does that mean me as well?”

There was a long pause. “It will be if you do not carry through with my orders.”

The man with the ring hung up the phone with a shaky hand. It was
his
life on the line now. He would not die over this. He walked to the closet and opened the door. The man tied up looked at him with frightened eyes.

“Time’s up.”

Chapter Twenty-One

Taurus paced up and down the suite. “Why can’t Coco do the photo shoot?”

Maya finished putting on her costume from rehearsal. She had to go for touchups on her hair and makeup, then do the postponed photo shoot and commercial.
