Predator

Chapter 5

He carried her like a precious treasure close to his chest as he deftly made his way across the grounds. Her deceptively innocent looking hands clutched at his shirt and her face was nuzzled into his neck. She had fallen asleep in his arms before he cleared the gardens. It was one of the few times that he had seen her at peace and it fascinated him.

There were several people and guards milling about that instantly fell quiet when they saw the large stranger carry their slumbering ruler into the palace. Everyone made a clear path for him to pass through the corridors unobstructed until Ares appeared before him.

“Where are you off to with my wife, killer?” He stood proudly with his well sculpted arms crossed over his chest.

“To our room. Now fuck off.”

“Your room? She doesn’t share her room anymore. Especially with the likes of you.”

“Ares.” Ian seemed to appear out of nowhere behind the angered god. “Get out of his way and leave them be.”

“Ian…”

“I’ll explain later. Riddick, take her to bed.”

“You’re going to allow him to continue to bed our mate?” Ares yelled in outrage. “Why is he sharing a room with her? That hasn’t been allowed since…”

“Richard…” Alex mumbled sleepily.

Riddick shot an angry glare at Ares for waking her before his features softened and he whispered to Alex. “Shh, baby. It’s okay. Go back to sleep.”

“Don’t wanna sleep.” She softly bit the side of his neck before dragging her tongue over the strong column of his throat. “I want you.”

Ares started towards her when Ian put him in a chokehold and teleported them away. When they reappeared in the gardens, Ian threw the war god to the ground. “Stop acting like a child and try to understand the wisdom in this!”

“He is a killer!”

“As are we all!”

Ares got to his feet, entered Ian’s personal space, and poked him in the chest. “It is different and you know it! He was hired to kill her! We loved her from the moment we laid eyes on her.”

“So did he! You have no idea how important he is to our family!”

“Enlighten me, Ian, since you’re so fucking omnipotent.”

Ares was the second best person at making Ian lose his cool and his anger got the best of him. He grabbed him by his leather vest and let his temper loose. “She is ready to end her existence! He is the only chance we have to keep her here! If she doesn’t take him as a mate our family will be torn apart! Is that what you want? We aren’t enough for her!”

Ares’ anger dissipated when he thought about losing the woman he loved for over six thousand years. “Explain everything to me and you better make it good because you’re going to need all the help you can get dealing with Duncan.”

Ian released Ares and rubbed the tension from his temples. “Duncan isn’t the one I’m worried about.”

“Yeah, I know. If he comes back, we’re in for a world of shit.”

Riddick laid Alex in the center of their bed where she squirmed seductively while she watched him undress. “You are a beautiful man.”

“You’re not so bad yourself.” He knelt on the edge of the bed and held his hand out to her. “Come here, princess. I want to unwrap my new toy.”

She arched her eyebrow and gave him a thin sultry smile before she crawled to him. “Toy, huh?” He grabbed her upper arms and pulled her upright on her knees. “Is that how you see me?”

His hands slid down to her waist and untied her robe. Her eyes followed his movements as he parted the silk material and encased her ribcage with his palms. “I could play with you forever.”

Her eyes slid shut and her head lulled back as his touch moved to her breasts. “I’m here to please you.” When his head dipped down to draw a nipple into his mouth, she whimpered and clutched his head to her chest. He lashed both hard peaks with his tongue before he latched his teeth down and she cried out.

“Do you like it rough, baby, or do you want me to take it easy on you?” He slipped her robe off her shoulders and looked into her desire filled eyes.

Her breath hitched and she swayed in his arms. The lust and passion she felt for him overpowered her and for once she wanted to be completely at someone else’s mercy…his mercy. “You can have me anyway you want. I’m yours.”

“Get on your hands and knees.” She turned and rested her chest on the bed with her tone backside presented to him. He ran his palm over one cheek until she shivered in anticipation before he gave it a resounding slap and she gasped. “Beautiful.”

“Riddick…please.”

“What do you want, darlin?” He traced a finger along her dripping folds and rubbed her clit until she bucked against his hand. “Tell me you want me to fuck you.”

His shaft was sliding along her wet lips and the heat she felt in her core was threatening to consume her. “I want you to fuck me.”

He grabbed her hair and yanked her head back. “Say please.” He growled in her ear.

“Please…please fuck me.”

“That’s my girl.” He released his grip on her hair and plunged his cock into her hot channel. She cried out with each thrust as he drove into her repeatedly slapping his pelvis against her ass. He could feel her inner muscles quiver around him and knew she was close. “You gonna cum for me already, baby?” Her fever pitched cries were his only answer as he held her waist and pulled her back against his penetration.

Her scream pierced the room as her orgasm ripped through her body and she lay convulsing before him. After several minutes she came back to herself and felt his still hard length buried within her. “You…didn’t…” She drew in a ragged breath and whispered brokenly. “Was I not…good?”

“Baby, don’t be ridiculous. It’s taking every ounce of self control I have not to shoot my load into you right now.”

“Then why…”

“I’m not done with you yet.” He withdrew from her pussy and stared at her glistening juices on his cock. “You came hard, baby. I guess you do like a rough fuck.” He rubbed the head of his shaft over her other opening lubricating the tiny hole with her own cum.

“Riddick…”

She flinched away from the unaccustomed probing only to have his grip tighten on her hips. “Do. Not. Move.” She froze at his command and began to tremble from the onslaught of dark thoughts coursing through his mind. “You’re mine, remember? I will fuck you any way I choose, any where I choose, and any time I choose. Right now I want to fuck that tight asshole of yours.”

She buried her face in a pillow to muffle her whimpering as he pushed the thick head of his cock forward stretching her back hole open to prepare his entry. Tears welled in her eyes and she screamed into the pillow when he forced his way past the first ring of her ass.

Her cries made their way into his lust fogged brain and he mentally berated himself for losing control. He warred with his dark side that wanted to brutally take her and the pressure her virgin asshole applied to his cock wasn’t helping. “Alex…try to relax.”

“Hurts…” She cried.

“I’m sorry, baby, but I have to. I have the strongest urge to cover you in my scent.” He rubbed her lower back and shushed her. “You never let anyone fuck you this way before.”

“No…”

“Why are you letting me? You could easily stop me.”

“Because…I want you…to take it.” She heard his sharp intake of air and felt him tense. His restraint disappeared with her next whispered words. “Take it, Riddick. Please fuck my ass.”

“Oh god, baby.” The war was over. “I’m sorry.” The beast emerged and the man sat back helplessly watching as he pulled her hips back burying himself to the hilt in her tight passage. Her scream fired his blood and the animalistic urge to possess her ran wild.

The pain of his forced occupation was excruciating but somewhere in the back of her mind she reveled in his complete domination over her. She could sense his need and feel his elation when he made her submit to him. He was fucking the destroyer of worlds in the ass and he loved it. She had been with her mates for countless centuries and she never allowed them to do this to her.

His eyes were clenched tight as he pumped into her. He felt powerful beyond measure as he took her in this primal manner but a sense of regret clawed at him. He wanted her to like it. His eyes snapped open in surprise when he felt her shift position. She arched her back and lifted her ass higher to give him easier access to his prize. Her cries had changed from ones of pure pain to a mix of pleasure and pain.

When he scented her arousal, he pounded into her like a man possessed. He could feel her cum and was granted the scream he secretly wished for. She clamped down on his shaft and felt like he entered both heaven and hell.

He stilled his movements when he sensed a presence in their room and scanned the area with his unique sight. He began to growl before the dark stranger entered his field of vision and interrupted his time with his woman.

The man had long black hair in dreads, stood over 6 feet tall, and was pure muscle. He was fuming at the sight before him and growled back at Riddick. “What the fuck are you doing with my mate?”

Alex’s eyes snapped open when she heard the familiar voice and she turned her head towards the very large, angry Nietzchean standing in the doorway. “What does it look like, Tyr?”

She grabbed Riddick’s hand when it tightened protectively…possessively on her hip. She cupped his cheek with her left hand and turned his attention back to her. “Forget him, lover.” She rose up on her knees and sank down on his shaft further. “Keep fucking me.”

“Alex!”

“Get out, Tyr. You are not welcome here.” She kissed Riddick’s lips while her eyes remained fixed on his silver ones. “Go back to your whore and live. Stay here and meet your fate for your betrayal.”

“I am not leaving! You are still mine!”

Her head snapped towards him and her eyes glowed red. “Not. Any. More.” Riddick bit down on her neck and moved her on his cock. She felt wonderful in his care. He was worshipping her and branding her as his own. “I am his now.” One of his hands wrapped around her breast and the other went to the juncture of her thighs. Nothing else mattered anymore.

Tyr extended his bone blades on his forearms preparing to gut the man mating his woman. He would rip her from his grasp and drag her back to where she belonged. When Ian and Ares appeared on either side of him, he was so blinded by bloodlust that he didn’t notice them until they grabbed his arms. He struggled in vain to free himself as he watched the man continue to take his wife.

When they had him effectively restrained and were about to teleport away, Ares’ attention was drawn to the bed when he heard Alex scream and Riddick growl out his release. “Holy shit! Is he fucking her in the…”

“Ares!” Ian yelled out refusing to look on the scene. “Let’s go!” The 2 of them vanished from the room with her furious mate in tow leaving the sated couple alone.

Riddick withdrew from her body and held her shaking form against his chest. “Are you okay? Did I hurt you?” He whispered in a genuinely concerned tone.

“I’m fine.”

He heard her voice hitch and rose up on his elbow to look at her face. “Why are you crying? Baby, I’m sorry that I lost control. I couldn’t help myself. All I could think about was mating you.”

She looked up at him and gave him a watery smile. “I wanted you to lose control and I want us to mate too but that isn’t what we did.”

His brow furrowed in confusion. “What did we just do?”

“We had the best sex of my long life. We can’t mate yet.”

“Well when can we?”

She grinned at his frustration and ran her fingers over his creased brow. “That is up to you. I need to hear it before I bind us. I won’t condemn you to an eternity with me until you’re sure.”

She kissed him with a passion he never felt from any other woman he’d been with before. When they separated to breathe, he cradled her face in his palms. “Do you love me?”

“From the moment I tapped you on your shoulder.” She moved from his arms and climbed off the bed. He saw the tears on her face as she put on her robe.

“Alex, where are you going?”

She wiped the moisture from her cheeks and smiled sadly. “Believe it or not, I’m running away to hide.”

“From what?”

“Your rejection for one.” She saw the look of guilt and pain cross his face and regretted saying the words the second they left her mouth. “I know you need time to adjust to this. I won’t push you.”

“What else are you running from?”

“Tyr. I can’t be around him. He can control me like you but better since he is my mate.”

“I wasn’t aware you had a fourth.”

“He’s been away for quite some time.” Her tears flowed freely and her nervous tension was evident.

He could tell she was honing in on something when she turned her head to the side. “What is it, baby?”

“He’s coming. I’ve got to go.” She jumped when his hands grasped her arms. “Let go, Richard.”

“You’re afraid of him?”

“I’m afraid of how he makes me feel. If he touches me, he can make me do anything he wants.”

“I’ll protect you.” He held her face between his large hands and looked into her frantic eyes. “I won’t let him touch you!”

She closed her eyes and sensed Tyr getting closer. She began to panic and did not trust Riddick to keep her safely out of his grasp. She needed one of her mates. Ian and Ares were too close to Tyr. ‘Duncan!’

The immortal was wandering the palace when he felt his wife enter his thoughts. ‘Baby, what is it?’

‘I need you! He’s coming for me!’

Duncan broke out into a dead run. He knew who she was talking about as soon as he felt her panic. ‘I’m coming, baby!’ He rounded the corner that led up the long hallway to her chambers. ‘I’m almost there!’

“Alex, snap out of it!” Her eyes opened and she focused on Riddick’s concerned face. The door burst open and he instinctively pulled her behind him. “What the fuck do you want?”

Duncan strode forward without hesitation. He was driven by pure need to protect his wife but it took every ounce of effort to ignore the smell of sex in the room. “Alex!” He held out his hand to her. “Come on, baby.”

When the immortal ignored him, Riddick’s fury rose quickly but instantly was replaced by surprise when Alex came around him and took Duncan’s hand. He turned to lead her away when he felt her being pulled back from him. He spun around and saw Riddick holding his wife’s free arm. “We don’t have time for this shit! Let her go!”

This time it was Riddick who ignored the immortal. “Alex, stay with me. I can’t stand the thought of being apart from you!”

“I can’t, Richard. I don’t want to leave your side either but you can’t protect me. Not yet anyways.” She released Duncan’s hand and caressed his head and face. “You aren’t under my protection yet and he can force me to hurt you. It would kill me if that happened.”

“Alexandra, we need to get to my room.”

“I love you, Riddick.” She kissed him tenderly across his lips, grabbed Duncan’s hand, and was pulled from the room. All the while, she stared at him over her shoulder.
