She nodded. “Will they be cyborgs?”
He hesitated. “Probably. I’m mostly made up of human clone material but all cyborgs have children who are physically flawed. We were purposely engineered flawed and it has carried on to our children. Cybernetics will make our children whole and healthy.”
“Okay.”
“Will this bother you?”
“Having little cyborgs?” She shook her head. “I hadn’t planned on having a family for some years but I never planned on meeting you either.”
Flint chuckled. “I never planned on you, Mira.”
“You saved my life yet again. I really would want to die if you let someone else have me. I want to stay with you.”
His hand stilled and then he continued to brush his fingers through her hair. “Sleep. You need it.”
Chapter Eleven
Mira woke alone to find a tray of food at the end of the bed. Flint was gone but she was still in his room. That had to be a good sign. She used the cleaning unit and put on one of Flint’s shirts. The entire time she ate she wondered if Flint was talking to Iron. What if Iron wouldn’t sell her back? Fear hit her. It still hurt slightly that Flint had sold her in the first place. She finished breakfast.
She paced. Being locked in Flint’s quarters was boring. He didn’t have any entertainment units. Most living quarters carried vid players or music players. Flint’s didn’t. Hours passed before the doors finally opened. Flint walked in, wearing his uniform. His grim expression made her heart slow in dread.
“Is everything all right?” Mira asked, afraid.
Flint hesitated while the doors shut behind him. “Iron wasn’t happy when I asked him to sell you back to me or when I reminded him of our longstanding friendship. I had to tell him how much I wanted to keep you to try to get him to revoke the sale.”
“But did he sell me back?” She heard the desperation in her voice.
Flint hesitated again. “With conditions.”
She moved to the bed and sat. “That doesn’t sound good. What kind of conditions?”
Flint crossed his arms over his chest, his features were set in a grim mask. “He wanted to use your body for a few hours.”
Dread hit her hard. She shook her head. “No. Please, Flint?”
His eyes narrowed. “I refused.”
Relief washed through Mira as she nodded. “Thank you.”
“Don’t thank me yet. He’s never had sex with a human but he was given one of the new females we took from the shuttle we boarded. He’s nervous about touching her. Cyborg women and pleasure ship females far out in space are not fully human. I won’t let him have you but he’d like to see a demonstration.”
Startled, she let his words sink in. “I don’t understand. What kind of demonstration?”
“He’s going to watch us. He wants me to show him how to have sex with a human.”
Panic hit her. “No way.”
“Would you prefer he not sell you back to me? The only reason he wanted you in the first place it seems was because you’ve had sex with me. He didn’t want to keep you long term because I’d branded you but he wants his new slave to enjoy his touch. He thought renting you out afterward would make the money back that he paid for you. I won’t force you, Mira—it’s your choice. I’m not particularly thrilled with the idea of performing for someone during intercourse. That’s not something I’m into but I am willing to ignore him to keep you. Are you willing to ignore him to stay with me? He won’t use your body. I made him swear to that.”
Mira stared at Flint in shock. She wasn’t even sure how to respond to such a request. Did she really have a choice? If she said no then Iron would refuse to break the sale and he’d take her away from Flint.
“It will just be Iron? No one else will be here?”
“Just Iron and I won’t allow him to use your body.”
“So he’ll be in the room with us?”
Flint nodded. “He might ask questions. Iron is very curious.”
“Isn’t sex with me just like sex with a cyborg woman or a pleasure worker?”
“No. You’re more fragile. He doesn’t want to damage his female.”
“Well, you figured it out. Can’t he just figure it out too?”
Flint hesitated. “I am unique in the fact that I worked with humans. I have dealt a lot with sympathizers to our causes who help smuggle things to us from Earth. I made human male friends and had many conversations with them about sex when a few of the human females were interested in sex with me. I didn’t have to seduce them and make them want me as Iron will have to do with his slave. He’s interested in making a family unit with her as well. She is resistant to him so he wants to learn about how to seduce a human woman to pleasure her so his slave wants him.”
“So I’m going to be a show-and-tell on how to turn on a human woman? Is that the sum of it?”
Flint nodded. “It was the condition he gave me to release you from our deal of sale. It is your choice, Mira. I won’t force you.”
She studied him. “Isn’t that the point though? This woman is unwilling and he wants to seduce her? You could seduce me. You have.”
His eyes narrowed. “I see. You are agreeing, but you want to do this without saying the words aloud, as if you are unwilling.”
She swallowed and repeated, “You could seduce me. All I ask is that you blindfold me.”
She saw shock hit his features. “Why?”
“I would be really uncomfortable looking at him, knowing he was watching you touch me. Do you swear you won’t let him use me?”
“I swear to you that no man but me will take you. I’d fight him if he tried to possess you. You are mine, Mira.”
She stared into his eyes. “I trust you. I need to be blindfolded so I can pretend it is just us.”
Flint nodded. “Whatever makes it easier for you will make it easier on me.” He went to his drawers where he removed a few items. He tucked them under his arm. “Let’s go.”
She paled. “Now?”
“Now. He is impatient to touch his new acquisition.”
She was nervous. “Okay.” She walked closer to Flint and gaze up at him. “I guess this is a small price to pay.”
“You will be blindfolded. I have no shield to hide behind and I really am private about my matters.”
She blushed. “So am I.”
He gripped her arm. “Let’s go. He’s waiting.”
“Where are we going?”
She let Flint lead her out of the room to head away from the lift. “There is a room down the hall that isn’t in use at the moment. I didn’t want him in our room and he has his human female tied to his bed.”
Flint stopped in front of a door to press his hand to the scanner. The doors slid open and Mira saw that Iron was already in the room. The man was leaning against a wall. He eyed Mira with then his cool look shifted to Flint.
“Are you returning her to me or is she willing?”
“She’s willing but she wants to be blindfolded so she doesn’t have to be aware of you watching her.”
Iron grinned, looking highly amused as he met Mira’s eyes, arching his eyebrow at her. “Really?”
Flint released Mira and pointed to the bed. “Strip and get on your back.”
Mira’s face flushed as she looked at the bed, which wasn’t like Flint’s. This was just a metal single-size cot, though it was longer than a standard-size Earth one. Cyborgs were tall. She kept her back to Iron as she stripped quickly. She was really embarrassed because she knew he could see her ass. A hand gripped her arm and she gasped, her head jerking around, as she covered her breasts with her hands.
Flint met her eyes and arched an eyebrow at her. “You’re a little jumpy. I told you that I’m the only one who will possess you.”
“You startled me. I didn’t hear you come up behind me.”
“I don’t have a blindfold but I brought a belt I use for sparring. Ready?”
He released her. He showed Mira the bel
t—a soft cloth at least four inches wide. He placed it over her eyes. The belt went from the tip of her nose to her forehead. He tied it carefully before turning her to face him.
She was mostly blind. She could see a tiny bit of light peeking in if she looked down her nose where the belt didn’t totally cover since Flint had been careful to not block her nose completely so she could breathe. She realized she faced Iron as well. The blindfold helped her not feel completely embarrassed that Iron was looking at her body. She decided to shut her eyes tightly and kept them that way.
Flint gripped her gently and eased her down on the cot. His big hands guided her until she was lying flat on her back on the soft mattress. “I’m going to tie her down,” Flint said softly. “Your human doesn’t want you to touch her so we’ll simulate this accurately.” Flint released Mira. Seconds later his large hand curled around her arm.
“Easy, Mira. You look damn tense. I’m going to bind your arms above you. Your wrists are still injured so I’m going to bind you above the elbows. It’s just me touching you as we discussed.”
She nodded, forcing herself to relax as much as possible. She was naked on her back on the cot as Flint bound each of her arms. He secured them together so she was palm to palm and the binding ran from just above her elbows to just under them. Flint released her, giving the binding an experimental tug. Her arms wouldn’t come down and they wouldn’t move more than a few inches. She tugged harder, realizing she wasn’t going to get free.
“Using a cot like this will be preferable to your bed. You might want to grab one of these from supply to take to your room.” Flint spoke softly.
“Why?” Iron’s voice sounded huskier than usual.
“The bars are perfect to restrain a woman. Let me undress and I’ll show you what you can do to your human. Strip off your shirt and give it to me. I don’t have a spare and I just realized how perfect these cots are for total control.”
Mira panicked. He was asking Iron to remove his shirt? Had Flint lied to her? Would he let Iron touch her? He’d given Mira his word. Maybe she should ask for the blindfold off so she’d know for sure Iron wasn’t near her.
“Please take the blindfold off,” she said softly. “I want to make sure you don’t let him touch me, Flint.”
Silence met her demand until a deep sigh sounded. “I gave you my word, Mira. It should be enough. No one will enjoy your body but me.”
“Please, Flint.”
He sounded angry when he spoke. “I swear to you that I will be the only one to fuck you. You doubt my word?”
Shit. She’d pissed him off. Mira shook her head.
“I’m going to use my shirt and his to bind your legs. Don’t fight me.”
That was the only warning she got before material wrapped around her calf right under her knee and then her leg was shoved upward and to the side. Flint forced her knees to bend in his hold. She gasped from the shock of it. She tried to pull her leg away but Flint just chuckled as he tied the arms of the shirt around the side of the cot.
When he gripped the other leg she fought but it didn’t do her any good. Flint was much stronger as he put her where he wanted her. She ended up being tied just under the knees with her legs spread wide apart. She couldn’t move anything but her feet since the shirt material stretched from knee almost to ankle. She couldn’t straighten her legs or close them.
Well, so much for her plan of being seduced, she thought. This was not going the way she’d imagined.
She burned with embarrassment. Her knees were almost breast level, her ass barely touched the bed. Being totally exposed made her squirm. Every inch of her pussy was revealed for Flint and Iron to view.
“She had her hair permanently removed. Humans usually have hair here.” A fingertip brushed Mira’s mound, causing her to tense. “It’s very soft skin. I prefer her without the hair.”
“May I?” Iron sounded damn close.
“No,” Flint almost growled. “No touching.”
“I just wanted to touch her skin.”
“You’ll discover how soft a human’s skin is when you go to your room, Iron. You do not touch this one. She’s mine.”
Iron didn’t sound happy as he said, “Proceed.”
“You have to be a little more careful with humans. They aren’t built to endure our violent tendencies. You’d hurt your woman if you took her like one of ours. Remember that when you enter her. Our cocks are larger than most of their males. Enter slowly and carefully to give her body time to adjust.”
“Understood. She looks damn small.”
The cot mattress dipped as weight settled on it, making Mira tense up again. Flint was just going to fuck her obviously, no foreplay, no preparing her. She was experiencing too much fear and embarrassment to be turned-on. She waited to feel the pain when he pushed into her but instead his fingers slid from the top of her mound down her slit. He removed his hand.
“Hand me that. Thank you for remembering to bring it. I thought she might be stressed.”
“Hand you what?” Mira was nervous.
Flint chuckled. “Silence, Mira. You are show-and-tell. Show-and-tell doesn’t talk.”
She bit back a nasty reply only because this would keep her with Flint. She knew Flint didn’t want to do this any more than she did. The least she could do was shut up and suffer though this without making it worse.
“She obeys you.” Iron chuckled. “Now.”
“Shut up and watch, Iron.”
Flint’s finger returned to Mira’s slit. A soft gasp escaped her. His finger was coated in something wet, slippery, and cool as he rubbed circles over her clit. He was using some kind of lube on her.
“This is a core spot,” Flint said softly. “Play with her here with your fingers or your tongue but not too hard. Which feels better, Mira?” He rubbed up and down and then did slow circles again.
A moan tore from Mira. She was horrified by how turned-on she was getting but with Flint’s lubed finger rubbing her clit she couldn’t stop the pleasure the sensation was sending through her. She tried to buck against his finger but she was tied down too tightly. Her nub seemed to swell and Flint’s circling finger sent her into pleasure overload, making in nearly impossible to think.
“Which feels better?” Flint switched from circles to sliding up and down. “Answer me.”
“Both,” she panted.
“She’s getting wet and I can smell how aroused she is.” Iron’s voice lowered to a husky tone. “Put your fingers in her and show me.”
Flint didn’t let up with his finger on her clit so Mira thought he’d ignore Iron’s demand but instead he used his other hand. His fingertips rubbed lower at the entrance of her pussy. Mira cried out as he slowly pushed two fingers inside her. The stretching of her inner walls was sheer bliss. He pushed his fingers in deep and then stopped. He withdrew almost totally. Shock hit her at the uncomfortable pressure she experienced as he separated his fingers, spreading her vagina. It started to turn to pain.
“Flint, it hurts.”
He froze. “She’s tight.” The pressure eased as he put his fingers back together. “It’s all the same inside but always remember to be gentle and enter slowly. She’s damn tight. It almost hurts me when she comes. She clamps down on me like a strong fist.”
Iron sighed. “I don’t suppose you’d let me feel that, would you?”
“No.”
“Just my fingers.” Iron sounded closer. “You owe me for releasing her back to you. I could have made a large profit, Flint. I had a lot of high offers for her body from the men on both ships.”
Flint hadn’t stopped rubbing her clit while both men talked. Mira was close to coming. She wiggled and arched her back. Flint withdrew his fingers. She heard him take a deep breath.
“No,” he said softly.
She was relieved that he had refused but that feeling was short lived as Flint’s finger left her clit. She wanted to protest him stopping. She was so damn close to coming. Before she could voice her obj
ection his thumb pressed down on her clit, applying more pressure against the sensitive nub, massaging it in an up-and-down motion. She moaned as her body strained against the restraints. Flint moved a little on the bed, making the mattress shift with his weight.
“She likes it fast and hard. Inside you should rub upward. If you felt inside her…” he paused. “You would apply pressure there with every thrust or two of your fingers.”
“I understand.” Iron was closer. His voice was next to Mira, about hip level, and he was breathing faster and heavier.
Mira could hardly think. She bucked against the restraints. She couldn’t move much at all. She moaned and tossed her head. Two fingers breached her pussy and pushed back in. The fingers slowly eased deeper inside her.
Mira threw her head back, moaning louder as Flint started to fuck her with his fingers as his thumb picked up the pace while rubbing her clit. He applied pressure against her G-spot just as he’d explained to Iron. It was too much.
Her body tensed and her muscles clenched when pleasure exploded through her body. Mira cried out Flint’s name. Her vaginal walls clamped down on Flint’s fingers, twitching. The climax continued since Flint didn’t ease up on her clit though he had stopped fucking her with his fingers. His fingers were locked inside her as her muscles twitched around him.
“Damn,” Iron groaned.
Flint’s thumb released the pressure on her clit as he removed his fingers from her body. Mira went limp, trying to catch her breath.
“I told you,” Flint said softly. “Have you learned enough?”
“I want to watch you possess her.”
She heard Flint nearly snarl, sounding really angry. “I think I more than paid the debt, Iron.”
The man hesitated. “I’ll leave you then. Thank you, Flint.”
“Thank you for releasing me from the contract.”
Mira heard the doors open and then shut. The bed dipped as weight shifted on it. The sound of clothes rustling was distinctive. “I’m going to possess you,” Flint growled.
“He’s gone?”
Flint reached up, shoving away the blindfold. Their eyes met as he came down on her, entering her body hard and fast, burying himself balls deep in her pussy. Mira cried out in surprise and pleasure. Flint’s pants were just shoved down his thighs. She was soaking wet, ready for him, as he started to fuck her hard and deep. He braced his arms next to her head. The fact that she couldn’t move, had no control, that she was totally at Flint’s mercy wasn’t lost on her, but to her shock, she was really turned-on by it.
