Torak smiled grimly as he bent River over. Now, they would come together. He was not sure if she was ready for him to claim her fully but he would try. River had proven to be as spirited as he had hoped his mate would be. She was also a true warrior fighting him as they made love as she fought him in all other areas. Now, she would match him.
“Can you take it, River? Can you handle what life would be like with me?” Torak challenged.
River growled at Torak. He wanted to know if she could take it, well, he could just bring it on, she could take anything he had to dish out and more, she thought suddenly feeling like she was the sexiest, most desirable woman in the galaxy. Pushing back against Torak, River suddenly knew she wanted to be claimed by him every way imaginable. She craved what he could give her just as she had craved the taste of him.
Torak could feel the change in River as she reached up to meet his challenge. Yes, she was his perfect mate. He loved how she felt when she began pushing back against him and rubbing her ass as if inviting him to try to take her. River glanced over her shoulder and suddenly jerked away from Torak pulling out of his arms and standing facing him.
Torak jumped to his feet staring at her as she breathed in deeply. “If you want me you have to catch me.” River purred, moving away from him to run through the cover of the trees.
Torak jerked at the challenge to the primal part of his soul. With a wicked grin he took off after her. He knew she wouldn’t go far, she wouldn’t want to be seen. Luckily, he had warned everyone to stay away from this section of the garden as he did not want to be disturbed during his wooing of River. Now, he was very happy he had insisted on their privacy though he would have taken her in front of everyone if he had too. The mating claim would not be denied once started. Torak stopped, listening for a moment before a gentle breeze blew the scent of his mate to him. Moving out of the cover of the trees he waited a moment before he twirled around and race back in.
River let out a surprised squeal as Torak suddenly returned to her hiding place. She had climbed the tree and waited silently, holding her breath, as he had come under the branch she had been standing on. When he had left, she had jumped down planning on dashing back to the blanket where she was going to wait for him to return. Instead, he held her captive against a low hanging branch.
“Mine.” Torak growled running his nose up and down River’s jaw. He reached down with one hand sliding his fingers into her wet pussy.
“Mine.” he said again bringing his fingers up and licking them.
River shivered with desire as she watched him. It was only when he pressed her into the branch, bending her over it and spreading her cheeks that she flushed feeling her pussy clinch and soak her thighs.
“Mine.” Torak said sliding his fingers through the juice running down her leg and rubbing it on the tight ring of her ass. “All mine.” He said as he pushed his fingers into her ass stretching her.
River moaned at the burn of his fingers stretching her. She could feel her pussy reacting to his claim knowing she could deny him nothing.
“Yours.” She groaned spreading her legs even further in invitation.
Torak pushed River further over the branch until her ass was way up in the air. Pushing her thighs apart so it would spread her even further he slid his cock into her wet pussy covering it with her natural lube while he continued stretching her ass with his fingers. He felt her clinch around him as he pushed his cock slowly in and out of her. He watched as it disappeared. As he pumped her he ran his fingers through her juice wetting her tight hole and sliding first one, then two, then three fingers into it stretching. River moaned as she pressed back against his fingers feeling the fullness of having something in both her ass and her pussy at the same time.
“Now, River. I am taking my final claim on you. Relax as I take you, little one.” Torak said softly pulling his hard cock out of her pussy and sliding it to the tight ring of her ass. He watched as it slowly disappeared into her, both of them panting as the burning of his thick cock broke through the tight ring of her ass and his feeling her tight ass fisting him like a glove. He continued pushing into her as he played with her clit making her hotter and hotter.
“Oh yes, little one. Oh yes.” Torak groaned as he sank all the way to his balls into her ass. He waited a moment to give her time to adjust before pulling it out part way. He pushed it back in slowly, each time pulling a little further out then before and pushing in a little harder.
River panted at the feeling of fullness. She was bent of the tree spread wide open for Torak. She wanted more, she needed more she could feel the pressure from another orgasm building and needed to feel its release.
“Faster, oh Torak, I need you to go faster.” River moaned as she pushed back against him.
Torak slapped River’s ass as he pushed in. “You want it hard and fast, little one, you’ll get it hard and fast.”
Torak gripped River’s hips and began pounding her ass faster and faster going deeper until he couldn’t go any further. He listened as she began a keening wail as her climax built to a breaking point. Torak knew he was not far from his own release. Pounding into River he yelled out as he felt her squeezing him, the force of it sucking his own release out of him. Burying himself all the way, he yelled out his final claim on the alien warrior who had captured his heart.
Chapter 12
River smiled as she looked out over the city below watching as a light rain fell. She had been in the North House for over a week now and couldn’t believe the change. She had been introduced to all the residents who lived in the huge House. It seemed the House was a much quieter, calmer place since all the females had been removed. There had been a fair amount of jealousy among the women which had made life difficult for everyone according to Jenta, wife of one of the security team members. River had met her one day while she was exploring the huge House. Jenta and River had become friends. Jenta would often visit with River after Jo and Star had left for the day or in the evenings if Torak was busy. River had decided it would probably take her a year just to learn how to get around the North House. She had never seen so many rooms and passageways in her life. It made the underground catacombs of Paris look like a child’s playground.
One thing she hadn’t gotten used to was always having someone with her. Until the assassin was captured Torak would not let River go anywhere alone even in the house. Today, Kev Mul Kar and two of his other men were with her.
“Kev, do you know of a place where I can work out?” River asked as she turned from the window.
“There is a training room, My Lady, on the lower level that might suit you.” The Captain of the Guard replied softly. He had been watching her as she gazed out the window, privately enjoying how her figure was silhouetted against the huge window.
River sighed. She really like the Captain of the Guard but it drove her nuts when the people here called her ‘My Lady.’ “Can you show me where it is? I haven’t worked out in almost three weeks and it is driving me crazy!”
Jo and Star wouldn’t be coming over today. Star was working on the modifications for the dresses and Jo was grounded for mouthing off to Manota again which meant he wasn’t letting her out of his sight.
“Of course, My Lady.”
River just rolled her eyes at Kev Mul Kar watching as he fought to hide the smile curving his lips at her response to calling her by her title.
River stopped by her and Torak’s rooms to change into something more appropriate for working out. She hoped Star was going to be finished with her new designs soon because the gowns were a pain in the ass. River pulled her black duffle bag out from under the bed and pulled out the black pants she had worn on the warship and a sports bra. She didn’t have her shirt any more as Torak had destroyed it when she had been shot. Thankfully, Jo had rescued her other clothes. Pulling them on, she grabbed one of Torak’s shirts and slipped it on over her outfit. It hung to her knees and covered her almost as good as the gowns did.
As she was cl
osing the bag her eye caught on a shiny disk. River laughed as she pulled out not one but almost a dozen DVD’s. She had forgotten all about them! She had found some old videos from when her, Jo, and Star had been little all the way through to two years ago when Jo and Star had left the circus. Walter, the ring master, had always been really big on video-taping everything and had made the disks for her. She would have to ask Torak or Kev if they had a way of viewing them. Setting the disks aside on the table near the bed, she zipped the bag closed and slid it under the bed.
River looked around in amazement at the training room. It was like a huge indoor playground with ropes hanging from the ceiling, open areas covered in mats, climbing walls, hoops, loops, and every kind of obstacle ever imagined. River thought she had died and gone to circus heaven.
Kev Mul Kar swallowed past the lump in his throat as decided he had made a very serious error in showing Lady River to the training room. The lump grew when she kicked off the slippers she was wearing and dropped the shirt covering her. Standing with her back to him with her hands on her hips, he let his gaze travel over her figure. Clad in black form-fitting pants that showed off her sweet backside and long legs, he choked when he saw she was only wearing a small piece of material over her breasts. He heard the two other men groan when she suddenly pulled her leg straight up over her head standing on one foot while holding the other in her out-stretched hands.
“Have you ever seen a body bend like that before?” The younger elite force member asked. “She isn’t even moving!”
All three men gulped when River suddenly did a back bend, bending until she was actually looking out from in between her legs.
“I don’t think a body is supposed to be able to do that, do you?” the other elite force member whispered.
For the next three hours the men panted, gulped, gasped, and sweated as they watched River twist, turn, bend, and flip in impossible positions. When she went over to where the targets for target practice where located they were left just shaking their heads in amazement as time after time she would hit the targets in the middle even after she had Kev blindfold her.
Torak came in just as Kev Mul Kar was untying the blindfold from River’s eyes. He stood back in the shadows as he watched his Captain of the Guard. River said something to Mul Kar causing him to laugh. Whatever his response was, River must have liked it because she laughed in return smiling up at Mul Kar. Torak had enough when Mul Kar reached down and gently pushed a stray strand of River’s hair back behind her ear.
“River.” Torak called out as he strode over to where River and Mul Kar were standing. Torak’s eye’s narrowed as he took in the flush on River’s cheeks and lack of clothing.
“Oh Torak, I had the most awesome time! This place is like having my own private playground!” River danced over to him.
Torak looked at Mul Kar with dark, cold eyes. “Why is she here?”
“Lady River wished to work out. This was the only acceptable place I could think of.” Mul Kar answered calmly.
“What I have seen is not acceptable at all.” Torak said with a deadly calm. He was furious. No other male should be seeing as much of River’s body as she was showing right now. He let his gaze rake over River’s scantily clad figure, before looking up at Mul Kar again.
One of the other men walked up holding River’s knives. “Lady River, you are amazing. I have never seen a warrior do the things you have done today.”
The other elite force member came up laughing, “I have never seen a body be able to do the things she did.”
Torak’s gaze turned even colder as he watched River laugh at the two men. She took the knives from the one man sheathing them around her body. When she bent over to slide four of them into the sheaths attached to her calves Torak had had enough. The two younger men’s eyes were glued to her rounded ass.
“Leave.” Torak ordered barely containing his anger.
The two younger men’s eyes jerked up at the tone in Torak’s voice. They quickly bowed heading for the door.
Mul Kar hesitated, “My Lord, she is unaware of what she does.” He said looking over to where River had gone over to get her shoes and shirt covering.
“Mind yourself, Mul Kar. She is mine. I will kill any man who thinks otherwise.” Torak said coldly.
Mul Kar returned Torak’s cold look for a moment before bowing his head and leaving.
River danced back over to Torak looking around for the other men. “Did they leave? I wanted to thank them for watching me today.”
“That is not necessary. It is their job to protect you.” Torak growled reaching out to grip River’s arm tightly.
“Hey, what’s your problem? Did you have a bad day?” River had to practically run to keep up with Torak.
“Not until now.” Torak said his jaw hurting from clinching his teeth so hard. He was really trying to hold on to what little control he had.
“Oh. Well, what happened? Did someone run over your cat?” River asked breathlessly.
Torak stopped suddenly frowning, “What cat?”
River laughed at the confused expression on Torak’s face. “It’s just a saying. Things are only bad if you let them get to you.” River said as she reached up and brushed her palm over Torak’s face.
“River, we need to talk.” Torak said softly looking down into River’s innocent blue eyes. He ran his hand down her arm and pulled in a breath as he felt the silky, smooth skin of her stomach through the opened shirt. It reminded him of why he was so upset.
Turning, Torak pulled River through the passages until he came to their private living quarters. Pushing River inside, he turned and locked the door. Leaning back against it, he crossed his arms over his chest as he waited for River to look at him.
River felt a shiver run down her body. She knew Torak was upset though she didn’t really know why. Moving towards the bedroom she figured she’d give him time to cool off before trying to figure out what had him so bent out of shape. She walked over to the table and began pulling off the sheaths containing her knives setting them one at a time down on the table near the window. She kept her back to the door even as she sensed Torak following her into the room.
“River, it is not acceptable for you to do the things you did today.” Torak began firmly.
River froze before turning to stare at Torak as he began speaking. The more he spoke the colder the look in her eyes became and the firmer her mouth compressed into a straight line.
“You are a member of this House. A female member. You will no longer be allowed to do the types of things you did today. Your place is to manage my household, greet my guests, and have my children not flaunt your body before my men teasing them and throwing knives. If you insist on such behavior I will have to take measures to punish you until you understand your place here. You will give me all your knives including your swords. In addition, I want the clothing you are now wearing and any other clothing resembling it. They will be destroyed so you won’t be tempted to wear them again. I have had gowns made for you to wear and wear them you will. Do you understand?” Torak finished firmly proud of himself for not losing his temper. He leaned back against the bedroom door satisfied he had shown River who was in charge.
River had listened to Torak at first in disbelief then with growing anger. Her eyes were flashing blue flames by the time Torak was finished with his asinine demands.
“Let me see if I understand you correctly.” River said slowly picking up a knife from the table and tapping her chin.
“I am a female.” She threw the knife. It hit right next to the left side of Torak’s face close enough if he were to move a hairs-breath he would feel the cold blade. Torak froze watching River wearily.
She picked up another knife. “You think you can tell me what to do.” She threw the knife and it hit on the right side of his face exactly across from the one on the left. Torak felt a fine bead of sweat begin to form on his brow as he realized River was not finished.
Picking up another kni
fe she ran her finger over the tip. “I am to manage this monstrosity.” Throwing the knife it imbedded in his left shirt sleeve pinning his arm to the door.
Pulling four more knives out of the sheaths on the table, she threw them with such speed he didn’t even see her hand move. “You think I am a tease, you can take my knives away from me, you can punish me, and I am to wear what you tell me I can wear.” River growled coldly as each knife imbedded in a different place around Torak’s body pinning him to the door.
Picking up one last knife Torak began to sweat openly at the look in River’s eyes. “Oh, and let’s not forget the most important thing. I am a bitch in heat who is supposed to spread her legs for you and pop out your children when you command it.” River threw the last knife and it landed snuggly in the narrow space between Torak’s slightly parted legs.
Grabbing the rest of her knives off the table, River pulled her black duffle bag out from under the bed walking over to where Torak was pinned to the door. She looked him in the eye daring him to say anything. “Did I get it right?” She asked softly before stalking out of the room.
