The Stars For Valentine’s Day (The Journeyman's Way) (5 page)

“Yes, for you. Their race is dying out. They decided to allow a few of their top men to join with us, the Journeymen. Even the fates can’t control them.” Knight laughed.

“Bane and his unit are having a hell of a time with their woman. She happens to be one of the fates. The fates are not too happy about his kind. She will adjust as we all must.” He started to strip out of his uniform, but stopped as Saber undressed their woman.

“On our worlds, our females are small, delicate creatures. We are larger than normal men there. It’s one of the reasons we both decided to join the Journeymen. We knew we belonged together and needed to find the perfect woman for us. You are her, little human.” Saber ran his fingers up and down her arms as she stood there naked.

“Your extra weight will help cushion our loving, taking all three of us. Beautiful, but still delicate. One we will cherish always. Will you give yourself to us this night? Knowing we will possess you, but will also cherish you in every way you need?” The door opened behind them and Raven stepped into the room.

He bowed to her and took her hand, kissing it. “Only the three of you know my name, Raven Wood. Everyone else will just call us bots. The Journeymen and the fates know about our presence in this world. So I must ask you to keep our secret when around others. I’ve allowed your friend to know because she will be mated soon enough to her own unit.” He reached up and cupped her breast.

“On my world, there is no physical touch, no warmth. We experimented in the labs but not even that worked.” Raven stepped back. “Even on our world we make mistakes. It’s one of the reasons why a certain number of us were allowed to break with tradition and pair with others. We might be smarter in some ways. But your race, Shantel, along with theirs, knows how to enjoy the body. How to create life and to love. Something our world does not have anymore.”

Their little female surprised them all. She stepped up to Raven and wrapped her arms around him. “No one should be without love. You showed me that night there was someone for everyone. I might have had it rough the last few years, but I have people who love me.” She kissed his chest and tilted her head back. “Nothing has ever felt so right. I am yours as you are mine?” she whispered.

“We are yours and no one else’s. We can’t stray like your men do on Earth. This is more than a marriage, our little human. You become part of us, and we take in all of you. Saber was not lying when he said we would possess you if you so chose.” Raven ran his fingers through her hair and pulled her head back. “Choose.”

“Already you have not only saved my life but my best friend’s. I have nothing back there. I want to stay with you, all three of you.” She released him and knelt at his feet. “I’m not sure this is how they do it, but....” With her arms behind her back, she glanced down at the floor.

Raven shook his head and placed his finger under her chin, raising it. “Never lower your head. We might own you, possess you, but we respect you too much. I want to see your gaze always on us. You want this, knowing it will be hard?” Her nipples hardened, and her eyes glazed. Knight and Saber moved in closer. Knight couldn’t stop touching. The need to connect with her rode him hard.

“I’m yours as you wish as you are mine,” she said tilting her head to the side and smiling.

“I believe Master is appropriate here, don’t you?” Knight asked, hearing a little gasp from their little human.

“But I believe when a master claims his woman he collars her.” Raven held out a copper chain. “You love copper and brown diamonds?” Saber lifted her hair. Raven put the chain around her and watched as it embedded into her neck. “This collar is different. It will never come off you, and it will always tell us where you are. Now allow Knight and Saber to clean you.” Raven moved back to the wall and leaned, arms crossed on his chest.

Knight stepped into the warm water grunting. “I’m going to get used to this custom.” He sat, placing her onto his lap when Saber joined them in the water next to them.

She giggled. “On our world, Saber, cats hate taking baths.”

He laughed. “I’m nowhere close to the cats you have on your world. Like Knight, I’ve only stood up under water to clean myself. We don’t even have to do that if we just want to be clean. But I have to agree with Knight. I like this much better. I believe this will be our treat to clean you thoroughly.”

Raven passed an item to Saber and sat next to the tub. “Get on your hands and knees, little human, and spread those legs,” Raven ordered. “Don’t worry about your friend. I’m monitoring her, and she is sound asleep healing.”

***

Never had her emotions been so all over the place. She had three men watching and touching her as they cleaned her. As she knelt, the bottom of the tub softened, cradling her knees. In her over twenty-eight years, never before had anyone gone out of their way to make sure she didn’t suffer, except for her mother.

Every part of her was touched and kissed. They teased her, making her body hum with need. The only part that hadn’t been touched yet.... She jumped and scooted to the right to get away when Knight separated her butt cheeks.

“Hold still, pet. You will be cleaned everywhere,” Saber stated and inserted something long and warm into her butt.

“What is in you is an organism that will clean you out. I plan to claim this hole later.” Raven leaned down and brushed her wet hair out of her face. The thing inside her started to move.

“My God!” She reached for the side of the tub once more to get away, but Raven was there.

“You were told not to move, little human.” He smacked her butt cheek hard. “We expect your compliance when we tell you to do something. One time not listening to us could mean your life.”

“But....” She lowered her head and gripped the side of the tub tight between her arms.

“Saber, why don’t you taste our female and make her release her pleasure?” Raven grabbed one of her breasts. “These are so big and round. You may come anytime you wish. Your pleasure feeds us, makes us stronger to protect you. One of the reasons you will be bare to us always on this ship and at our home on the base.”

His words blurred when Saber slid his head between her legs and latched onto her little nub. Knight or someone slid three fingers into her pussy, stretching her.

“Look how beautiful you are. Come, little one, feed us your pleasure,” Raven ordered, pinching and twisting her nipples.

A scream from deep inside her echoed in the room. Her body trembled, the force of her orgasm stronger than anything she had ever experienced. Saber released her nub and moved from under her. The thing in her butt disappeared.

“Come here, my little human.” Raven lifted her up and out of the tub like she weighed nothing. “You are so beautiful, warm, and soft.”

Shantel broke out laughing. “I’m so sorry.” She laughed harder.

“What is this soft kitty, warm kitty? And who is the Tin Man?” Raven frowned then turned heated eyes on her. “You, my pet, watch too much of that TV. You insult me. Tin Man? Do you really believe I’d rust if I got wet? Let me assure you, I wouldn’t.” He lowered her feet to the floor and took the towel from Saber. “Go, I’ll bring her in after we have a serious talk about a few things.”

Knight laughed and started singing the song from one of her favorite shows.

“I wouldn’t tease. She’s comparing you to some Lestat,” Raven shouted. “Saber, you’re the Lion in
The Wizard of Oz.

There was no way Shantel could keep it in. She laughed so hard she plopped down on the deck, hugging her sides. “I noticed you didn’t tell him what the lion was called....”

“Cowardly lion!” Saber yelled, coming for her. She scrambled up and ran around Raven.

“He was soft and cuddly, like you. Of course, you’re fit, where he was round.” She smiled, peeking around Raven, but Raven wasn’t having any of it. He stepped aside, allowing Saber to snatch her up into the air.

“Think of another lion!” He shook her, growling, and she laughed.

“Well, there is a lion king. He’s a king of the jungle.” She smiled at him and he lowered her down hugging her. “You really are all cuddly.”

“Who is Lestat? You think I’m a whiny vampire? She’s calling me a vampire!” Knight shook his head. “I think her friend was right. She’s just begging to get her butt spanked.” He grumbled and turned her back around, but not before she noticed the smile on his face.

“I’ll be your cuddly lion any day, little human, but don’t you dare mention that around anyone else. Especially about the cowardly word,” he grumbled and released her into Raven’s arms.

“Come, I want you to see your friend. I know she is heavy in your head and you’re worried. Plus it will give me time to explain a few things and apologize up front for what must be.” Raven wrapped the towel thing around her more tightly. “I’m sure you don’t want to be bare around your friend.” Raven stared down at her and it was the first time she noticed the one blue eye and one green.

“You are one handsome man-bot. Can I?” She nodded to his bald head, which looked like skin, but it had tattoos or some form of writing on it.

He grinned and leaned down so she could touch his scalp. “The markings tell my story in our world. I’m over six thousands of your Earth years old. Tell me, do you want me to be your Daddy?” Raven lifted his gaze, staring right at her. Her heart seemed to jump all around. “I sure would love to baby you.”

He traced his thick, long finger down her cheek, neck and to the valley between her breasts right where the towel lay.

 

Chapter Six

 

Knight glanced over at Saber. He lifted the bottle of…champagne? Was that what Raven had called it? Raven had gone all out on this special day. The room was littered with what would be called rose petals. Raven had given them the perfect list of things to bring back from Earth. This place looked great. A dozen long stem of the flowers were in a vase of water, waiting for the special little human.

“Did you try one of those brown things on the table?” Saber asked, sniffing the stuff.

“No, I wanted to wait for Shantel. How do you think she’ll do with the implant? It took me a whole
kara
to get used to it.” They both stilled.

In all the time they had been with Raven, never once had he gotten angry, but right now was not the case. Both of them listened to his conversation with their little human.

What do you mean, little human? What does fresh mean? Are you telling me this thing was going to harm you?”
They ran for the door, heading to the medical unit. One thing they knew for sure. One bot could wipe out a world. A furious one was not a good thing.

As they turned the corner, Raven and Shantel were coming out of the medical room. She jumped and grasped onto Raven.

“Don’t do that. You scared the crap out of me.” She glanced from him to Saber. “What’s wrong?”

“They’re worried about me. In all my years, I’ve never allowed my anger to show. I’m afraid you, little human, are going to test me to the limits.” Raven kissed the top of her head, but kept his gaze on them.

“Why? Is it a bad thing to get mad?” Shantel blinked at them. “Look, I’m new here. If this is going to work, I need to know what’s going on.”

“You are right, little girl, but not right now. We have a surprise for you.” Raven waved Knight out of the way and led her down the hall. “We are once more entering the zero zone. Nothing will distract us.”

“Why do I get the feeling something big is about to happen?” Shantel asked. The doors to their quarters opened and they stepped in.

Knight hadn’t been this nervous since he was a child. He watched their woman look around the large room. Pictures, small things that were hers lay around the room, along with a few of her clothing items, What humans call music filtered through the intercom, playing the song they had seen in her head.

“You did all this for me? It’s not even Valentine’s Day yet. Why? You don’t even know me?” Tears rolled down her cheeks. She turned to face the three of them.

“But we do know you.” Raven circled around behind her and reached around her, moving the towel. “This is your favorite song from the group Chicago
.
You have what you call a sweet tooth and love chocolate. Your favorite flower is the rose and you love copper jewelry along with brown diamonds. Do I need to go on?” He towered behind her, chin resting on the top of her head as her lifted her breasts. His fingers brushed her nipples.

“As for why, there is no other for us. The fates have chosen you for them, and my body was tuned to yours as soon as you were born. Even though I didn’t know where you were until later on. Look at your men, little girl. They need you. See the need in Saber’s eyes and body. The way Knight’s eyes turn a deep red when angry. Or in need of his woman, you. He not only wants to taste what makes you special, but his need to be inside you rides him. Go to them. Give yourself into their keeping.”

Her attention went to Raven. “What about you? Don’t you want me?”

He smiled and reached up tapping her nose. “You gave yourself to me long ago. She’s not sick, only remembering that heated night. I believe she was going to say I was the best she ever had,” he actually teased, not only shocking him, but Saber.

“Well, I only had two other men before you so it’s kind of hard to compare.” She squirmed in his arms.

“Enough talk.” Saber dropped to his knees and separated her legs. “Wrap your arms around Knight’s neck and hold on, little human. This kitty is hungry.”

Before he even finished his words, Saber was feeding from her while Knight was left to play with her round mounds. “I smell your heat. What you release is intoxicating.” He placed his lips over her beating pulse. “As your heart beats, mine is racing, needing you, and craving you. Will you….” He whispered against her neck then scraped his fangs against her delicate white skin. She made a little noise deep in her throat.

Shantel tilted her neck to the side as she reached up to wrap her arms around his neck, but she was too small. He released her breasts and grabbed her behind the knees to separate her legs and give Saber clear access to her female heaven they all wanted. She was featherlight, but inside her head she fretted about her weight.
