“Don’t say that.” Kai shifted slightly away from him, but not before Aled felt the ridge of Kai’s hard cock rubbing against his belly. He reached down and grasped Kai’s shaft.
Kai’s fingers closed around his wrist. “You don’t have to do anything. I’m kind of ashamed of myself for even getting hard.”
“You’re always hard around me. I make you want to fuck me blind. You have no idea how much I’ve missed this. Missed you.”
“I’m not fucking you right now.”
“Then let me use my hand,” he argued. “I need to feel you.”
Kai sighed but kept his fingers locked around Aled’s wrist. “Do it gently. Do it how I want it.”
He guided Aled into a smooth, slow rhythm that soon made his breath catch as Aled kissed him with his swollen, well-used mouth.
“Gods, I want to fuck that mouth,” Kai muttered. “Want my come all over your face.”
Aled winced as his cock stirred. “You can fuck my mouth as much as you like tomorrow. TheUngrichwill expect it.”
“And I want your ass . . . my dick and a nice thick tentacle inside you, making you beg for it.”
Kai’s voice had roughened as his shaft moved between Aled’s fingers. Despite everything, Aled was caught up with the need to please his demanding male. He’d fuck Anna Lee all night if he had Kai behind him, fucking his ass.
Kai jerked and came all over Aled’s fingers. With a soft sound, he pushed Aled down onto his back and straddled him.Taking Aled’s hand, Kai licked his fingers clean of come and then bent to kiss him.
“We’ll survive this. Rehz has a plan.”
“And if it doesn’t work?”
“Then we’ll go down fighting and die together.”
Aled looked over at Rehz, who had gathered Anna onto his lap and was whispering intently into her ear.
“Rehz thought you might have given us up to Palk.”
“I fuckingdidn’t.”
“I knew you wouldn’t.” Kai smoothed his hair. “Even if you had, I’d still stop him from killing you.”
“Thanks.” He scowled at his lover. “Palk knew about the DNA thing. I don’t know how. I guess he’s always been in direct contact with theUngrichscientists. Maybe they asked him to find humans like Anna and me specifically for their research.”
“I told Rehz, the idea of two Tributes having that elusive human DNA in two consecutive cycles was too big a coincidence to miss. Once Palk found Anna, he was already looking for someone like you to fulfill the male requirements.”
“They certainly targeted me for the program.” He winced. “I thought I was going insane when I found myself back here, but Anna Lee kept me on task.”
“She’s tough.”
“She has to be to keep up with Rehz Akran.” He lowered his voice. “They say they want our offspring, but what the hell for? Experimentation or something worse?”
“I’m not sure. I’m hoping we can sweet-talk those answers out of them in the next mating cycle. The longer we spend here, the better we communicate with them and the more they reveal.”
“I’m not leaving any child of mine and Anna Lee’s here.”
“I get that.” Kai disengaged Aled’s hand from around his wrist. “Let’s get some sleep while they’re quiet.”
Aled lay down against Kai’s side, his palm flattened over Kai’s heart. “Thanks for coming to get me.”
“You’re welcome.” Kai slid his fingers over Aled’s scalp. “When we get out, you can tie me up and show me just how thankful you are.”
Anna woke to a stifled cry as Rehz was shoved away from her by a mass of tentacles and held fast as he struggled. She forced herself to sit up and meet his furious gaze.
