Salvation (7 page)

Cooper Prime was in Rock’s sights. They would be docking in a matter of minutes. The trio hadn’t done much on the trip home except have sex, eat and sleep. He would need to talk to
Zan
before the man got wrapped up in his experiment. He might not have known him long, but it didn’t take much to figure out the man could get lost in his work if not properly motivated. Rock chuckled, thinking back to how he’d made
Zan
fall to his will by playing with Se. It could be fun to see what else would distract the good doctor.

“What’s so funny?” Se wrapped her arms around him from behind. It was great that she didn’t hesitate to touch him this way. He’d waited so long, but it was worth it.

“Just happy,” he squeezed her hands.

“You know, I think this is the first time I’ve seen you really happy,” Se observed.

“
Haven’t
had much to be happy about. Just living day to
day,
and that isn’t enough to bring joy into my life. Speaking of that, where’s
Zan
?”

Se nibbled on his ear. He closed his eyes, breathing in her scent.

“He mumbled something about using sick bay for something. You know, you could have had me any time you wanted.”

She wanted to talk, and he wanted to get them on land and into his house.

“Like I said.
I wanted to be sure. I like you, Se. I didn’t want to screw you over.” He held up his hand when she would have interrupted. He wanted to have his say first. “I know you would have been up for it. But I wanted more. I wanted a relationship with Rave, but he only had eyes for that cousin of yours. You know that. Hell, you were there when I made my play and was shot down.”

“We need to call them. You know that, right?” She gave him a squeeze and backed away to sit beside him at the console.

Se had let him have the last word and he was glad. Either she was slipping, or he and
Zan
were just that good in bed. He’d go with the latter.

“Thank you,” Rock said. “Yes, we’ll call them after we talk more with
Zan
. He has to know someone who has it out for him. That pox he is working on doesn’t sound important enough to warrant his death. Maybe it’s some past research. Once we do that, we’ll give Rave and
Kain
a call. See if any of their old Alliance contacts know anything. I have a few favours I can call in too. I also need to find the contact for my gun sale. See if he escaped or not. I should have done that days ago, but I kept getting distracted for some reason.” Rock smiled, thinking about the way they’d wiled away the days.

“Busy, busy.
What will I do to pass the time?” Se purred.

Rock looked over to see her unbuttoning her top and playing with her breasts. He leaned over, taking a nipple into his mouth. He suckled and nipped. The ship beeped at him.

“Damn it, Se.” He moved back and corrected the course. “You’re going to make me wreck the ship. Go play with
Zan
.” He waved her away, when what he really wanted to do was fuck her senseless.

“Oh, a challenge.”
She chuckled and left the bridge.

It would be, too.
Zan
wasn’t as easy to distract as Rock. He adjusted his pants and focussed on the ship rather than on would be happening in sick bay. Maybe he would dock and go and play for a bit before getting down to business. They had time. No one would be able to connect him with Zander. They would be safe until they were ready to take on the threat head-on.

* * * *

Something fluttered by Zander’s ear. He swatted at it but kept his focus on the data in front of him. The answer was right there. Why couldn’t he see it? This was why he was a mediocre researcher. He’d never be able to take on the Grey Death at this rate. Not if he couldn’t even figure out a simple non threatening disease. He’d had hopes that a string of data from the pox could be the key for a cure not only for that, but an offshoot of the Grey Death, but he had nothing. Another flicker caught his attention, but he only shifted out of its way.

Maybe if he—
It
happened again and he was becoming annoyed. Were there bugs on the ship? He straightened and turned to find Se standing as close as she could get without touching him. Her blouse was unbuttoned and her breasts swung free. She cupped them and offered them to him. Science forgotten for the moment, he pulled her close.

“That was easier than I thought it would be,” Se said against his lips. “I should have bet Rock I could have you panting in seconds.”

“You would have won that bet.” Zander hoisted her up and twirled her around so he could put her on the counter.

She pushed a few things out of the way and leant back.
A smorgasbord for his senses.
He’d never let anyone distract him the way Rock and Se had been able to. He’d had lovers in the past try, but he’d always been able to maintain focus on his work. He wondered what it was about these two that made him want to stop everything in their presence.

“Where did you go?” Se snapped her fingers in front of his eyes.

“I’m right here,” he assured her.

She leant back down and he slipped her shirt the rest of the way off. He took care of her pants, too. She lay naked before him.
Se’s
hands roamed over her body. She let her fingers play with her pussy and slipped a finger in. He pulled it free and licked it. Her taste exploded on his tongue and he had to have more. Zander spread her legs farther apart and buried his face at the juncture of her thighs. Her hands clutched in his hair. The tug hurt a little, but he didn’t care. He lapped at her core, tonguing her as if his tongue was his cock.

Zander unzipped his pants and let them drop to the floor. He took his dick in his hands and stroked it. Se bucked against his mouth, so he replaced his lips with his finger and sucked on her clit.

“
Zan
!”

He showed no mercy. He kept up his pace.

“Come for me, Se. You do that and I’ll fuck you so hard you’ll be vibrating for days.” He didn’t know what had come over him. He’d never talked to a woman that way, but it felt right.

She loved his dirty talk, if her actions and sounds were any indicator, and he found that he liked it too. It was a hot button that he hadn’t known he had. Just another thing about Rock and Se that made him feel different.

“What about you?”

The new voice startled Zander into stopping.

“What?” He looked around to see Rock standing in the doorway, his cock in his hand.

“I
said,
what about you? Do you want to come for days?”

Yes, he did. He didn’t want the days to end.

“Oh, god,
Zan
, don’t stop. Please.” Se gripped his forearms.

“You heard our girl. Don’t stop
Zan
.
You going to fuck her?
You want her ass or her hot pussy? Pick one because I’m taking the other,” Rock’s rough voice turned him on even more.

Se moaned on the counter, her fingers pinching her nipples.

“A—ass,” he managed to croak out.

If it was possible, his dick got harder.

“The lube is in the cabinet,” Rock pointed to somewhere behind him. “Go get it and we’ll get Se ready to take us both. You want that don’t you, babe?”

“Please,” Se moaned in agreement.

Zander rushed as fast as he could and rummaged through the doors until he found what he was looking for. He turned and had to stop. Rock had
Se’s
legs over his shoulder and Zander couldn’t see where his mouth was, but he would hazard a guess that it was on her ass, rimming her.
Getting her ready.
Before going to join his lovers, he took off his clothes. Rock was still fully dressed. Zander would have to take care of that. Rock was beautiful and should be naked all the time. His sculptured body made Zander’s pale in comparison. He would never be as built as Rock, but the other man didn’t seem to mind. Neither did Se for that matter.

He moved closer and set the lube beside Se so he could get to Rock’s clothes. Zander fell to his knees. He figured he would start with the bottom half. He wanted a taste of Rock’s cock before Rock fuck Se. Zander pulled Rock’s pants off and helped him to step out of them. Rock’s dick slapped his stomach. Zander edged right up on top of Rock and opened his mouth around the other man’s girth. Zander moaned and Rock slid in further. Zander swirled his tongue around the head and down the vein throbbing in the shaft. While sucking, he took Rock’s ass into his hands and kneaded his cheeks, making Rock shift against him. He ran his hands up and down Rock’s thighs and squeezed his balls gently.

Zander backed off Rock’s dick and wetted a finger before going back to the blowjob. He entered Rock’s puckered hole and searched for the gland that would make Rock wild.

“Oh, fuck.”

He found it and stroked it a couple of times before hands pulled him up Rock’s body.

“You’re going to make me come and we won’t be able to fuck Se.”

“No!” Se didn’t seem to like that idea.

Zander reached for the lube. He opened it and coated his fingers before giving it to Rock. Se was a little loose from Rock’s attention and it didn’t take much to get the first finger in to the knuckle. Her ass was tighter than he thought it would be. He wondered if he’d ever get a chance to pound into Rock’s ass. Zander couldn’t think of that or he would explode. He needed to focus on Se.

Rock’s thumb joined Zander’s fingers. When Zander sank his fingers in, Rock pulled his thumb out. They worked that way for a couple of minutes. Se panted, begging for more.

“Fuck me. Please.
Rock,
Zan
.
I need you both inside me. Oh, god, I’m going to come. Please, please.” She fervently plucked at her nipples and writhed on the table.

“
Zan
, get on the counter.” Rock picked Se up so Zander could comply.

Once he was settled, Rock positioned Se above Zander. He stroked her back as Rock opened her ass and eased her onto Zander’s cock.

“Relax, Se. Take me. Let me in that tight ass.”

“Rock—bad influence,” Se grunted as she settled fully onto Zander’s dick.

“What was that, sweetheart?” Rock entered Se and she babbled some nonsense that Zander couldn’t understand.

Zander wrapped his legs around both his lovers and locked his ankles together behind Rock’s back. Their bodies pressed tightly together and no one moved until Rock pressed his lips to Zander’s. Rock was right there inside Se. The feeling was heady. Zander could feel Rock pulsing through the thin layer of skin that separated them. Se moaned between them while Zander savoured Rock’s tongue in his mouth.

“For the love of god, someone
move
,” Se demanded. “Why must I always ask?”

Zander rested his forehead on
Se’s
back when Rock pulled away. Rock took control of their lovemaking again, pushing
Se’s
body onto Zander’s cock. He couldn’t have that. He kept his legs locked and braced himself on the counter so he could thrust up. It took a minute to get the rhythm right. Rock would pull out and Zander would rock up into
Se’s
tight ass.

“Oh, god.
Oh, god.
Harder.
Please.”

Se was so vocal, and both men abided by her command. Faster and harder, they rushed to completion. Zander balanced on one hand so he could reach around and cup
Se’s
breast. He pinched the nipple and she shuddered, coming hard and milking his cock. He faltered, only to have Rock’s arm steady him. It only took a couple more thrusts, and Zander filled Se with his spunk. Rock wasn’t far behind. Zander slipped down flat onto the counter, trying to catch his breath. Se followed him and so did Rock.

“Can’t—breathe,” Zander gasped.

His two lovers got up and Rock helped him to stand.

“We need a shower. I’m dripping here. We might as well stay in the bathroom at this rate. I can’t seem to keep my hands off you boys. I’m like a kid in a candy store saying
gimme
!” Se laughed and put her pants back on.

“Well, all the fun and games have been good, but we have to figure out who wants our boy here dead.”

Zander was smiling, but Rock’s words brought him back to the real world.
The one where he was in danger for some unknown reason.

“Agreed.
We just got him, we can’t lose him.” Se kissed his chest before getting the rest of her clothes on.

Zander followed suit. He almost walked out of the room without grabbing his research. Pulling his chip from the docking station, he shut down the computer he’d been using before leaving. The answers to both of his problems were right there—he just had to search his brain for the right question. He hated not knowing. It was a big puzzle that he had to solve or die trying.

Chapter Five

Rock led them down the gangplank into a small village. He was proud of his home. Not many people lived in the town. That was why he’d chosen it. He liked the quiet as opposed to the bustle of bigger cities. Not too many people asked questions here, which had been a good thing in his wilder days. He was legit now. Thanks to Rave, all his gun sales were sanctioned by the Alliance.
