“Shut up,” I snap at Kronos. “I didn’t ask you to talk.”
“You did ask us a question,” Boss has the nerve to point out.
“It was rhetorical,” I say.
They stop talking and just look at me. It’s almost cute, these two massive aliens who are absolutely charged with uncontrollable lust for me, now looking as if they’ve been smacked on the hand for their misbehavior.
“Don’t get used to this,” Sharp purrs behind me.
“Used to what?”
“I can see your little dominant glee,” he says, his tone warm. “But it’s not going to be the way things are around here. The second I get my sword back from you, you and I are going to have a reckoning.”
“I don’t care. It was worth it to stop this stupid fight,” I say, doubling down on my misbehavior. “We have things we need to talk about anyway. Like the fact that I’m not giving up my main mission just because I have my memories back. Humans and aliens are still going to try to traffic the wild caught women. I’m going to keep doing my best to save them at all costs. Maybe I’ll have babies and maybe I fucking won’t, but if you ever fight like this again, I won’t warn you. I’ll take something from you that will have to be surgically reattached.”
All three of my mates are staring at me.
“What?” I laugh. “Did you think you were in charge?Youall wantme. You all chased me.Youneedme. If you’re fucking me, it’s because I let you. If I have a baby for any of you, it’s because I want to. None of you are in charge. I am. I always have been.”
They snort and look at one another. They’re not taking me seriously. They’re not moving much either, because they know that getting up suddenly could cause me to slash a strategic bit right out of them. Sharp’s sword is the kind of weapon that engenders respect no matter who holds it.
“Alright, pet, we understand. You don’t want us to fight over you,” Boss says. “But this was between Kronos and me. It’s not entirely about you. It’s about…”
“Dick measuring? Sharp wins. He’s got two of them.”
Sharp chuckles behind me.
“I don’t want you thinking that you own me. I might be your pet, butIownyou.All of you. I chose you. I came for you when they were coming for you. So I’m in charge. Get it?”
Before they can tell me what I want to hear, Sharp takes the risk of wrapping an arm around my waist, grabbing my hand and lifting me up and away from the other two. He powers the sword down, returns it to his belt, and pulls me into a tight hug.
“You’re adorable,” he says. “And you are in so much trouble.”
Boss and Kronos get up. Now I am surrounded by large alien males, two of whom I just threatened with all sorts of horrible things.
“I shouldn’t have taken her off on my own, I guess,” Kronos says. “There’s never been any agreement against it. There’s a simple solution to this disagreement anyway. You can just fuck her as well. Breed her like I did. Let our seed determine which of us breeds her first.”
“You exhausted her past the point of being able to take any more,” Sharp says, stroking my hair. I press close to him. I know he’s going to punish me for the whole sword thing, but not right now. Right now he knows I am still sore from the relentless ravaging Kronos put me through.
“If she’s got the energy to come and try to dominate us, she’s got enough energy to take your cocks,” Kronos says.
“You are in trouble now, aren’t you, pet,” Sharp murmurs in my ear. “Can you take any more? Or are you broken and taken to your limit?”
I respond with a whimper, and nothing more.
“Let her sleep tonight,” Boss says. “Tomorrow we will breed her.”
CHAPTER 13
Sharp takes me to bed after all the events, and I know there’s a decent chance this isn’t going to be just about going to bed. He’s going to want a reckoning of some kind.
Sure enough, no sooner are we tucked up under the covers than he starts talking.
“You should not have touched my sword,” he says. “You know that is absolutely forbidden, don’t you?”
I snuggle up against him, hoping that if I cuddle up cute and sleepy enough I won’t have to deal with the lecture that I know I have coming.
“Touching my weapon is absolutely forbidden,” he murmurs in my ear as his hand slides up and down my back in a soothing motion. He is comforting me, even as he lectures me.
