Viking Claimed (Triad Series Book 4) (13 page)

“You would?” Aki asked.

Morek chuckled. “Aki has four thousand years of fucking to make up for. He is a little more impatient than I am.” He kissed Elli’s hand. “But if you wish to see us, I would be delighted to show you.”

Aki put his arm around her. “How about we just go to bed first and see how we feel?”

Morek was already naked and Elli couldn’t help notice that he was fully aroused. His cock wasn’t quite as large as Aki’s, but it was still substantial. Aki took off his pants, and then they both looked expectantly at Elli, who clutched the lapels of her robe even harder to her chest.

“Come.” Aki climbed up into the large bed and patted the sheet beside him. Elli went after him, shedding her robe to reveal the large T-shirt underneath. Morek got in after her and for a while they sorted out whose arm went where until Elli found herself practically lying across the two men.

It felt wonderful.

Her eyes started to close as Aki stroked her hair back from her face, and Morek wrapped an arm around her hips, turning her slightly on her side. His thick cock rubbed against her lower back, and Aki’s was within reach of her bent right knee. Both of them were aroused but neither of them made any attempt to push inside her.

They understood. Why had she even doubted them?

When she woke up later, the moon was bright, her T-shirt had gone and she was rubbing herself against Aki’s broad thigh while he stroked her ass with his fingers in long lazy circles. She wasn’t even sure if he was awake, but she didn’t want him to stop.

Morek’s fingers slid down from her waist and he cupped her sex.

“
So beautiful, so wet
.”

She arched against him, and he began to play with her clit and circle around her swollen folds until she was pushing down on him with every stroke.

“
Elli.”

That was Aki in her mind, his lips moving over her throat and then down to capture her taut nipple in his mouth, which only doubled her excitement. Morek added more fingers as he rocked against her, the wet path of his cock branding her lower back with every thrust.

“More?” Aki murmured as he licked his way down over her stomach and then, Gods, his tongue was tangling with Morek’s fingers and she was coming in great shuddering gasps. She clutched Aki’s hair and heard Morek’s low laugh behind her as she silently begged for more.

Aki’s tongue licked her clit once more. “
Will you take Morek inside you?”

“Yes.”

“Let me hold you. I want to see you both,”
Aki commanded as he rolled onto his back and sat up, drawing Elli between his legs, his cock pressed against her spine. Morek shoved the bedclothes out of the way and crouched between her spread thighs, his hair hanging over one shoulder, and his focus entirely on her.

He smoothed a hand over his cock and then rubbed the crown very gently against Elli’s already sensitized clit.

“I have never made love to a Female before. I am afraid I will disappoint you.”

Elli fought a smile. “I’ve only made love with Aki for one night. I would say that our inexperience is similar.”

Aki’s low chuckle made them both glance at him. “Then perhaps you should both learn from me?” He nodded at Morek. “Just take your time and let her mind guide you into what pleases her.”

Morek nodded and swallowed hard. “Watch me, Elli. Watch me become yours.”

Aki’s fingers came down to rest over her stomach, the longest just touching the top of her clit. When Morek started to ease in, Aki played with her, distracting her from the thrust of Morek’s solid column of flesh, setting off nerve endings that made her crave the penetration so desperately that she was soon whimpering with need.

“Aye, that’s my Female. Take all of him,” Aki breathed.

Morek groaned and reached a hand out to brace himself on Aki’s shoulder. “That is…” His words ended and his mind took over showing Elli and Aki his feelings from their source. His wonder in their acceptance made Elli want to wrap her arms and legs around him and never let him go.

“One day,” Aki whispered. “When you are used to both of us, you’ll take both of us, aye? Mouth or arse or…”

Elli shivered through a climax.

“You like that idea, don’t you?” Aki kissed her throat. “Not half as much as I do. I can’t wait to have Morek while he has you.”

“Or vice versa,” Morek groaned. “Gods, if you keep talking Aki Bloodaxe I’m going to come.”

“Don’t let me stop you, Second Male. Elli does need her sleep you know.”

Morek exhaled and shoved forward one last time, his hot come jetting deep within Elli. “Thank you my Female. Thank you.”

His climax set Elli off again and she held him tightly until he finally stopped moving over her. He felt different from Aki both physically and telepathically, but still recognizably hers. She breathed the mingled scent of their lovemaking and thought there wasn’t a better scent in the whole universe. She suspected she’d never get tired of it. This was what it meant to be so integrated with her mated pair that every single thing about them became precious and special and irreplaceable.

Morek pulled out of her and rolled onto his side and closed his eyes. “I think I am close to paradise.”

Aki slid his fingers into Morek’s long hair and pulled gently. “Not until you’ve finished your obligations to your new mates. My cock needs some attention.”

Elli licked her lips. “I could help him out with that.”

Behind her Aki went still.

“Are you sure, my heart? Morek and I don’t want to tire you out.”

“But I want to.”

Before she even finished speaking, she was lifted off Aki’s lap, turned around and placed on her knees facing him. Morek joined her and they both studied Aki’s huge cock.

“He needs a lot of attention,” Morek finally said. “We can take it in turns, aye? So that neither of us get tired.”

“Agreed.” Elli leaned in and licked a drip of pre-cum off Aki’s crown. “After you.”

She suddenly wasn’t sleepy anymore. She watched the way Morek used his mouth to torment Aki into muttering unintelligible Norse curses that even her translator couldn’t decipher. If she was lucky, and not too sore, she might persuade Aki to make love to her later. She wanted him very much.

Morek turned to smile at her, and she kissed his smooth green cheek. She was where she wanted to be. She had
chosen
to be there and for the first time since Carlin’s desertion, she could finally be herself.

And that, in her mind, was the greatest prize of all.

Trios Space Agency Ship QZ41

Trios System 229995.

“So what we have here, Tecky is a bona fide prehistoric popsicle?”

“Not quite
prehistoric
, but certainly ancient.” Frey glanced over at the ship’s captain and tried to smile. “My name’s Frey, Captain Travis, not Tecky.”

He held open a door and locked it behind her with yet another security code. “I know what your name is. We call all the science officers Tecky. It makes things easier to remember as you come and go so fast.”

“I suppose that makes sense.”

She tried to sound calm and approachable. It was her first job, and she didn’t want to give the wrong impression. The FREN organization, the Federal Research Environmental Nation, employed all the scientists on Trios System ships, and she desperately wanted to be one of them for more than just her probationary year. Unfortunately, from what she’d seen so far, the crew on this particular ship was rather casual about rules and regulations and found her insistence on following protocol rather amusing.

“I’ve been specially trained to keep an eye on this cargo, Captain.”

“Why, what do they think is going to happen?” Travis laughed, the sound bouncing off the spherical metal walls. “Hopefully that thing is frozen solid.”

“The ice is untouched. And that’s how it will remain until we put down on Alpha Station Three.”

Travis unlocked the last door and handed her the secure passkey. The temperature dropped as they approached the glass-viewing screen. Frey flipped the lights on.

“Well, Holy Magnet, he looks like a real live man, doesn’t he?” Travis whistled. “Like he was freeze-framed from a holo-image rather than really frozen. Do you guys know how it happened?”

“We’re not quite sure. It looks as though he and the other specimen were encased in ice so suddenly that they were preserved intact.”

“When do you reckon that was?”

“About four thousand Earth years ago.”

Travis whistled again. “Who found them?”

“Part of an old copper mine gave way near the ancient city of York and revealed the caverns beneath the city. The Earth scientists believe the males might be of Viking origin.”

“You’re kidding,” Travis leaned in on the glass and shaded his eyes with his hand. “Looks like the guy has some kind of axe.”

“You’re correct, captain. The other specimen on your sister ship is holding a sword or a bow. We’re not quite sure what it is yet.”

“So they’re going to defrost them on Alpha Three like frozen pigcow?”

“It’s a bit more technical than that, but I suppose it is a similar process.”

“We could stick him in our FoodPro and see if that would work. We’d save billions for the Trios Space Agency.”

Frey smiled tightly again as the ship’s captain laughed at his own joke and left her to survey her frozen science project. Travis was a confident man and despite first impressions seemed efficient, which was why she supposed he’d been chosen to carry such a precious cargo.

She went to switch the lights off and then lingered, one hand flat on the glass. Every time she looked at the Viking she noticed more details, the dark stubble on the warrior’s chin, the heavy rings on his fingers and the arm bands with the Nordic writing and runes no one had gotten close enough to yet to decipher.

But soon they would. Frey could only hope she’d be allowed to stay and watch the great thawing out. The Alpha Three scientists were renowned for rediscovering and reintroducing lost species to their native environments. As far as she knew, no one had ever tried to revive two ancient Vikings…

With a quick look behind her, she let herself into the holding cell. Despite what she’d said to the captain, the FREN team had already penetrated the ice around the male more than once. Four tiny microscopic probes had been inserted. She was the only one onboard with the necessary clearance to read and monitor those probes.

The block of ice stood about three meters high and a meter wide on a plinth that provided power and cooling jets to keep the ice from melting or deteriorating further. This close, the ice was almost clear. Sometimes, it felt like the warrior’s eyes were following her around as she worked, but they were still closed tight. She wondered what his eye color would be when he finally regained consciousness, and what he would make of the world he’d woken up in. She had to assume it would be terrifyingly unfamiliar.

She checked the sensors. Everything registered a big fat zero, which was just fine with her. It was quite a responsibility, but she was more than up for it. She’d also been given detailed instructions about what to do in any kind of emergency situation and how her primary function was to save the ice warrior at all costs. Not that anything would go wrong. The small crew flew this route at least twice an Earth month, and there was nothing hostile on the way to Alpha Station Three.

“
Tecky, you receiving me?”

She didn’t need to use her com to hear her fellow Pavlovan. They were both telepaths. Frey hadn’t made many close friends during her year on Earth. She’d either been studying too hard, or been too reserved to get into the whole college culture. As a result, she valued having someone around on the ship she could talk to so easily. “
Yes, First Officer Slavin
.”

“
Come and strap yourself in, we’re about to depart.”

Frey blew a scandalous kiss to her important cargo, and after securely locking the series of doors, made her way to the bridge where the other members of the crew were already seated.

Slavin smiled as Frey went by her seat. “All secure down there?”

“Yes, thanks.”

“We’re not anticipating any problems on this flight. It will take about five cycles. We’ll sleep through most of it.”

“Good.” Frey settled more comfortably in the deep padded seat and studied the blackness of space. There was so frakking much of it that sometimes it scared her. She liked her world to be ordered and controllable and…why the
heeze
had she ever wanted to work for an intergalactic corporation?

During the first space jumps, they’d all be immobilized in a semiconscious state as the ship followed its pre-programmed course and brought them closer to where they needed to be. The chairs acted like life support, monitoring body signs, offering the necessary nutrition and sending all pertinent information back to Earth and the various planets involved in case of emergency.

“There is one interesting thing happening out there,” Slavin added. “We’re expecting an up-close and personal look at a massive eclipse.”

“Oh, that’s right! Five planets are lining up.” Frey grinned. “Being a science geek, I’m ridiculously excited about this.”

“Alpha Station Three is between the last two of the aligning planets, Thor and Odin.”

“Then my Norseman will appreciate that.”

Slavin raised her eyebrows. “Your Norseman?”

Frey pointed down at the hold. “The frozen guy. Thor and Odin are Viking gods.”

“Then it’s a shame he won’t be awake to see it.”

“Maybe I’ll open up the viewing screens in the lab so that he can get a peek at it. I’ll probably have to view most of it from there anyway to catch and interpret the data stream for TSA and FREN.”
