When Lord Xev and his lover, Ra, leave their home in search of a woman to bond
with them, they know exactly where to go. Risen Outpost is the most lawless
place in the galaxy, and Pale Moon Auction House offers the finest sex slaves
on the market. What the Zaronians don’t expect is to find one of the legendary
humans for sale to the highest bidder.
Kirin Ellison doesn’t know what’s happened to her. The shock of discovering
aliens exist is bad enough, but realizing they plan to sell her as a sex slave
is far worse. Kirin watches the other women preening and displaying their
attributes, begging to belong to someone, with growing alarm. She wants her
freedom. At least she thinks she does — until one touch from Xev and Ra
enslaves her in a far more binding way than a simple exchange of a currency
could ever manage. She longs to feel everything the strange beings have to
offer, but unless Xev is willing to make a sacrifice of his own, she dare not
let him capture her heart.
Music reverberated through Kirin Ellison’s Mazda as she drove down the lonely
two lane country road. Humming along to the radio, she glanced up at the sky.
The black velvet above was dotted with stars. In the city, she never really
had the chance to see the night sky — the view here was breathtaking.
No one was expecting her back in Chicago until tomorrow. She didn’t need to
rush. Her camera lay on the passenger seat beside her. Pulling over onto the
gravel shoulder, she parked next to a fenced pasture.
The warning bell dinged as she carefully pulled out her beloved equipment.
Wedding and graduation photography paid the bills, but she couldn’t escape her
true calling — she felt drawn to beautiful panoramic landscapes.
Kirin looked up at the silky night sky and began to visualize the shots she
would take. The rural beauty was exactly what she wanted. These prints would
sell fast in the city.
Chuckling to herself, she shook off the feeling that she was being watched.
“I’ve been in the city way too long,” she muttered as she made sure the tripod
was stable.
A sudden flash to her left made her straighten and turn. She gasped as three
bluish-green lights hovered in the air.
“Oh my God!” Kirin’s hands shook as she began frantically snapping pictures.
Kirin focused intensely on the lights. She wished her camera had video
capability. She expected the hovering lights to fly away, but they didn’t.
These prints were definitely going to be a moneymaker.
The lights suddenly catapulted forward and to her horror, they now hovered
directly over her car. Her courage held her for only three more shots before
her shaking hands managed to free the camera from the tripod. Snatching up her
equipment, she rushed back to the car, but froze when a bright light
illuminated the area around her. Her eyes widened as the car levitated off the
ground. The pulsating yellow light was actually pulling the Mazda skyward.
Kirin bit her lip and stumbled backwards. She had no interest in finding out
where her car was going. Her foot slipped on the dew-damp grass and she
tumbled backward into the darkness. Pain radiated through her head and her
teeth clicked as her jaws snapped together. She blinked up and the darkness
vanished. She lay bathed in bright yellow light. Something trickled down her
neck and she realized she was bleeding, but that was the least of her worries
right now.
Blinking rapidly, Kirin tried to clear her vision, but the lights went in and
out of focus. She felt her body lifting. “No,” she moaned.
Unconsciousness claimed her.
When Kirin next opened her eyes, she blinked up at a bright light. She tried
to swallow but something was down her throat. Soft plastic cradled her nose
and mouth. She looked down her nose at the strange mask. The effort gave her
an intense headache and she tried to groan, but the tube down her throat
didn’t allow the sound to come out. She lay in a warm cocoon, perfectly
cradled in softness. To her horror, she realized she was naked. She tried to
move, but she couldn’t. The paralysis was surreal. Her vision was blurry and
she blinked rapidly, but it didn’t seem to help. She felt as if she were
floating.
Vaguely, she wondered if she’d been drugged.
A dark shadow blocked the light to the left and she tried to focus on what —
or who — it was. Her eyes widened and she tried to scream. Being immobile
added a sharp bite to her terror. The creature was tall and blue. It had
tentacles jutting out of its rather large head, and it didn’t look happy.
Coming closer, it made some sort of gibberish noise and ran its hand down her
arm, then her hip and leg. She shuddered. Something moved in a blur to her
left and she felt a quick stab of pain before her eyes fluttered closed and
darkness dragged her back into oblivion.
“This trip has been long overdue, my friend.. The burden of politics wearies
me,” Lord Xev muttered. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
The male between his legs took his cock into his mouth and bobbed his head
passionately up and down on Xev’s shaft. Xev watched Ra’s devotion through his
long lashes. Long, soft blond hair brushed Xev’s thighs. Eyes half closed, he
stretched his arms across the back of the divan.
The crowd bustling about the tavern and the buzz of voices only made Ra’s
fellatio more erotic. His companion made a loud popping noise as he pulled his
mouth away from Xev’s erection. Ra’s big blue eyes gazed up at him adoringly.
Xev could tell he wanted to say something.
“You may speak,” he graciously offered.
“You are right, my lord. I have felt the burden of hiding my affection for
you. I lust for you, my lord. Every time I am in the room with you, my cock
aches for your touch.”
Xev smiled down at his lover. He cared deeply for Ra. Their friendship, and
Ra’s servitude, had grown into a comfortable pattern, but something was
missing. They both agreed on that point. “I understand, my friend. The Order
would never accept our bond. Here we are free, but you know I can never leave
the Order, even to delight in the debauchery of the fringes. This is just a
short trip. We will return.”
The glimmer of hope died in Ra’s beautiful eyes and he quickly lowered his
head and kissed Xev’s balls. When Ra glanced up, tears shimmered in his eyes.
“I know your place, my lord, even as I know mine, but one can dream.”
