Chapter 16
Beauty.
Beautiful…
Me?
No.
“I’m skin and bone, are you mad?” I whisper up at Alpha Skye, after he’s just said many confusing things. He wants me naked, he’s flirted with me, he’s kissed me, he’s hovering over me… his blue cruel eyes are the distinct shape of the dictator that kills Human Kind. So, why does he want me?
“What?” the Alpha is confused, he doesn’t understand me, as I don’t understand him.
“You’re a killer – I’m a worm – why would you want me naked… when you can have anyone… Lemeri – or any of your betrothed. You said you wouldn’t try to fuck me again… you lied… who do I remind you of?” I’m just taking a stab in the dark here.
“You’re looking for answers to questions that don’t exist. On Genesis, you survive or you die. I’ve helped you survive. You’ve given me nothing but resistance and trouble. Xrat has bonded to you and you are unfathomably disrespectful of his love and my protection – that’s a dangerous combination. What happened to your desire to kill me? Where did that go?” Alpha Skye speaks to me solemnly, almost judgementally, his hand squeezes my throat briefly, hearing me wheeze out a breath, “I prefer you enraged rather than empty – how do I fill you up again?”
“Stop killing my Kind – right now, I have hope for nothing,” I answer truthfully, “You enslave and murder my people, and it kills me.”
Alpha Skye pulls away from me now, he sits back against the cave and he looks away as he locks his jaw and narrows his gaze across the open canyon, “…can you feel that…?”
“No,” I answer truthfully from my pathetic position on the cave floor.
“Can you hear it then?” Alpha Skye adds.
“No – my senses are not the same as yours –” I hiss.
“It’s called gullibility,” Skye turns to me and he watches me sit up in a trembling heap, wide eyed, hungry and annoyed as he continues to seemingly mock me, “Those who are naïve are such – you’ve lived every moment for your next meal, haven’t you? Avoiding starvation.”
“It’s that or death,” I answer, my voice raw with the pain of my memories scouting for any kind of food I could get my hands on. I’d even lick rocks when I was hungry enough.
“There is much more to life than desperation, Ryder,” Skye looks me over slow, his eyes hooded, “You’d find peace in becoming my whore.”
Argh.
“I’m becoming a spy –” I try, oh so hard, not to take the bait, especially when he sounds so fucking business-like when he mentions it.
“No, you’re not anymore – you’re not loyal to me yet, woman,” Alpha Skye blinks once as he assesses my reactions.
“You promised me Xrat – that will make me loyal,” I cringe just saying it, because I know how it sounds.
“…I have seen your hate for that pup – for whatever reason the Genesis Moon bestowed upon you this gift, you, an ungrateful woman full of blind hate. You need to open your eyes – and your legs, so I can teach you a few manners.”
“I will not be a slave,” I keep my response short and clipped.
“You are already a slave and always will be,” Skye lowers his tone, sick of my denials.
So I continue, headstrong, “No. I’m not and will not be.”
“What are you so scared of, Ryder?
“Nothing.”
“About pleasing me…” The Alpha now lets out some brief emotion, smirking, and speaking with a quiet promise, “…I’ll teach you how to be a perfect pet… and then once you are fully loyal… I will allow you to be a spy for me… but freedom is not something you can ever earn on Genesis… that is a limit you will have to accept.”
“Never,” I look away from him, crossing my arms over my chest.
“Even I am not free from limitations – no one is, you’re a fool, but what can I expect, you’re just a stupid worm, you are not capable of comprehending the meaning behind my words.”
“What’s it like?” I ask, gulping, “Being a whore, then? What does that even mean to you?”
“Let me show you,” Alpha Skye holds out a hand toward me. A harmless, simple hand. I reach out blindly and shake it, assuming it’s his offer of peace for the moment. “…what… are you doing now…?” Skye asks, inconsolable by my handshake.
“What do you mean –?” I gasp out as Skye suddenly clasps my hand and hauls me into him again – but he shoves my hand down his scout’s uniform, straight into his pants – so my palm and my fingers rest across a velvet smooth and very iron hard cock. Shit, “Ah…?” I look up in a panic and Skye waits for me to calm down.
“Feel it, Ryder – and imagine it inside you,” Skye is way too bold.
Hell no.
His hand leaves mine, and I feel his shaft for a total of 2 seconds, where my palm squeezes him from pure anxiety and I feel more blood rush into it, in a heavy hot pulse – strong enough for me to snap back my hand from his pants, to my chest.
“What the fuck?” I feel my heart start palpitating under my hand, and Skye thankfully doesn’t laugh at me.
Instead, he seems kind of reserved.
Perhaps he thinks I am a coward.
“…sit…” Alpha Skye pats his lap, “Come. Ryder.”
“No –” I start to shake my head.
“We are not connecting our bodies tonight... sit here, so I can touch you… you’ll enjoy it… I promise… and don’t be scared of me, I am only going to push you as far as you can take it, nothing more,” Skye explains himself, and I do feel slightly better, however…
“No, I won’t enjoy it,” I instantly protest with my words, even as I willingly crawl my way over and give into sitting on his lap.
Mostly – I’m just sick of feeling cold.
I spin to sit facing away from Skye, and he wraps one arm around my waist, while his free hand slides between my legs.
At first, I don’t react – because he can’t really do too much that won’t bother me with just his hand. As long as his cock remains hidden, I won’t freak out.
And I’m not scared, until I feel his fingers spreading through my petals – and I can’t believe the nerve endings that get set off from just his strong fingers exploring on his own accord against me.
“Why are you so nervous?” Skye growls in my ear, as he slowly rims the outside of my entrance, tickling me almost, making me squirm, before he applies pressure, sliding one lean finger into… inside… me.
He’s inside me!
I don’t know how – well of course I do – but it doesn’t make it any less of a surprise.
“-ey!” I yell out and kick my legs wildly for absolute no reason at all, “Ah – um, wh-wha –?” I’m panicking already, but the sensations were–
“Imagine this finger is my cock – even deeper, warming you up and making you feel at least ten times as much pleasure… you’ll be wet enough for me to use you, don’t worry about my size.”
Okay, I think I’ve had enough learning tonight.
“P-please stop,” I grab his wrist and pull his hand away from me, “Stop.”
“Did you not enjoy that?” Skye helps me by lifting his own hand. He grabs my knee instead, hoping I stop trembling.
“Well, y-yes,” I admit, glad I don’t have to face him, “I just don’t understand why it feels nice – it should feel horrible.”
“Sex is pleasurable for both –”
“I don’t believe that. And anyway. We are different species. We can’t pro-create so you shouldn’t want to have sex with me,” I blurt that out, hoping my logic makes sense.
“You’re my slave, it doesn’t matter – if I want to put my cock inside your body, I will,” Skye murmurs against my ear now, “…and I can impregnate you… our eggs and sperm are completely compatible… it’s a unique male Genesis trait. We’re very fertile – and there are multiple options. I can breed you with my own baby, and I don’t even need your half. The more you know...”
“…I don’t like the sound of that…” I whisper, freezing up.
“Why not? A whore acts – but a breeder gets to be a mother. Yet more purpose to fulfil your life on Genesis,” Skye is humoured by his further response to me, possibly because he knows it will only freak me out more.
“I want to go back into my cage now,” it’s where I felt safest, honestly, “I’m happy remaining a house pet, actually. I’ll polish your boots and iron your clothes. More than happy to assist.”
“Hmmm… I want you back in that cage too – but this time I’m not letting you out unless you have specific instructions outside of it – you must be disciplined now. You’re reckless and it’s getting on my nerves – I need obedience. Yes, Alpha. I understand, Alpha. Immediately, Alpha – all of the above and more is required for you to remain in my residence on good terms.”
“…oh…” I murmur my defeat for now, while Alpha Skye stands up and cradles me to his chest, whilst whistling sharply for Xrat.
“Sleep in my arms,” Skye orders me, “I’ll feed you when I get back.”
That – didn’t sound so bad.
I look up through half closed eyes at the stubble growing on Skye’s jaw, and his relaxed gaze taking in the harsh tunnels that he must traverse to get back home to his Dominion.
As he sets off, I barely feel his easy strides – but the sensation of being carried is enough to rock me to sleep.
I just hope when I wake up, Skye forgets his musings with me in the cave.
Soon, he’d lose interest in me – and if he didn’t… I would have to find a way for him to lose that interest. I could handle being a pet for now – but anything less was stretching my willingness to co-operate.
Besides, he wouldn’t want me as a whore if he stopped desiring me.
So, all I had to do was be undesirable.
He clearly hated Lemeri.
Maybe I could use her as an example to follow.
