beauty and unique abilities. Whoever wasn’t born the precious dark onyx that made all the females swoon, or the elegant, creamy opal which all the males wanted to protect, hoped they were at least blessed with the chance to bear a Cosmic Soul offspring.

It was rare for a royal to mate with a commoner; classes were kept strictly separate. Cosmic Souls rarely mated at all, since their loyalty was tied to the universe. Yet if they did choose a mate, the mate was usually royal. After all, who would want to bond with the ungifted?

That was why I had left the safety of being planetside and joined Auro on his business ventures. In the wide expanse of space, no one could judge me for my lack of gifts.

“Then let me subdue her,” I commanded as I lowered my wings, pulling them tightly against my back. It would be foolish to keep them flared and in harm's way. Who knew what she would do to me once I began. “Once you spot a good opportunity, dart in and heal her. We may not have another chance, and even if we did, she definitely wouldn’t trust us to get close.”

“Affirmative. Just . . . ” He sighed, shifting his wings. “Be careful.”

“You think I can’t do it?” I smirked at the sapphire male. “Let me prove to you why I am our crew’s Weapons Master.”

“Because there wasn’t anyone else available,” Auro muttered.

I glared at our captain. “I don’t see you coming up with a better plan.”

“I was going to wait it out and let her come to us.” He shrugged. “Allow her to come to terms with the situation and calm down. Hopefully, when she comes to her senses, she’ll understand that we are not her enemy—just stuck in this miserable situation with her.”

“That would be a lovely plan if we knew the Vhalxt’s timeline for us, but we don’t.” Spreading my arms, I slowly advanced toward the distraught female, who backed herself into a corner in fear. ”And who knows what other notorious ideas they have in store for us.”

As I stepped closer, our female shrank farther and farther away from me.

“Zuit uck!” she hissed as she kicked at me. “Ai zed zuit uck!”

The easiest way to subdue her would be to pin her on her stomach, baring her wings to Celyze. Other than a male’s manhood, the set of Swynemi wings was the most fragile part of our bodies. Any sane individual would instantly still in that position, afraid of injuring their precious wings.

I just needed to find an opening.

Stopping just outside of her striking range, I knelt on the ground and sent her my most reassuring smile. Slowly, I extended my hand toward her, hoping by some miracle that she would realize I didn’t mean any harm.

“Let us help you,” I whispered soothingly, as if speaking to a scared child. “We only want to aid you.”

And seduce you into mating with us so that we can survive a little bit longer in this black hole. By the way, any offspring we produce will be sold off and eaten, so you better become used to life as a food source.

She watched my hand intently as if she was contemplating her options. This was my crucial moment; if I made a mistake now, she might never cooperate, and we would never succeed in securing a better future—whatever that meant.

Celyze was best equipped to win her over, and he failed. How was I supposed to get through to her? My charm? While I’d never had trouble pleasing a female, they had always been the ones who showed interest in me, mainly because they found me exotic. How was I supposed to convince an injured royal, of all people, to trust me despite the communication barrier between us?

I was irrationally tempted to flash my cock at her in hopes she would be bedazzled by its length and sparkle. Usually, I hated bragging, but I did possess the most impressive manhood among the three of us. Perhaps she would want to test-run me first.

What if I were the one to earn her favor because of it?

I pushed that thought away. If Celyze believed that we all would make it out of this cell alive, then I will put my trust in the Stars as well. I just prayed that we escaped in one piece.

Convincing this female to mate with all three of us would be a feat in itself. How did one make such a proposition?

Maybe I should’ve convinced Celyze to try again. I wasn’t a Cosmic Soul, nor did I have the capabilities to engage in some display of peace and serenity. Even if she did accept my outstretched hand, only the Stars knew if I could seduce her.

Dropping my loincloth sounded more and more appealing as the silence stretched on.

TORI

This was a dream. It had to be.

There was no other explanation for why I was trapped in a dark and cold room without windows or doors, with three gorgeous cosplayers all watching me intently. I must’ve had the time of my life at the beach rave, and now I was experiencing the after-effects. I’d dressed in an intergalactic costume for the music festival’s theme, so it made perfect sense for me to fantasize about being with some aliens. My subconscious mind just gave me male versions of myself—space fairies—instead of the little green men I’d seen in sci-fi movies.

Maybe I should watch more space operas before bed if they teleported me to worlds like this. Who didn’t want to wake up surrounded by three exotic males? Other than the language barrier and the blue one being a little touchy, this could develop into a lovely dream.

As I listened to them conversing in their foreign language, I could feel moisture gather between my legs. There was something about the way they spoke their native tongue with sultry accents and smooth voices that turned me on.
