StarPyre Jade Waltz (ebooks children's books free .TXT) 📖

already fucked, and he’d been terrific in . . . well, not bed per se, because we’d done it on the floor. Anyway, if having sex with an alien would keep me safe, I would do so gladly.

I’d enjoyed enough one-night stands and friends-with-benefits relationships to learn how not to mix pleasure with love. Just because I was passionate with a man in bed, didn’t mean he was boyfriend material.

Even though circumstances were different in a prison cell, if I had to use my body to survive, I would. There was nothing wrong with making use of the only resource I had to bargain with.

Besides, both of these aliens were easy on the eyes. Without their sets of fairy-like wings and strange coloring, they could pass as human. I’d always been attracted to the Na’vi aliens from the movie Avatar; I’d bought a dildo to go along with my fantasy. Take the Na’vi—remove the tails, add long flowy white hair, stained-glass fairy-like wings, and galaxy-swirling eyes—and the result was . . . well, whatever they were.

Smiling, I accepted Auro’s offered hand. In an instant, he effortlessly yanked me to my feet. The blankets fell to the floor, pooling around my feet like a nest. Stepping out of my makeshift bed, I allowed him to lead me to a nearby corner, where he pointed to a few hidden buttons that I’d initially missed in my frantic search for an exit.

Auro gestured to one button and crossed his arms, holding himself. He selected another and started fanning his chest, before moving on to the last one, twisting his hair as if squeezing liquid out. I realized he was trying to demonstrate the machine’s controls through exaggerated motions.

Smiling, I grabbed his arm, stopping his explanation, and nodded. The wings on his back buzzed as he dropped his hair and lightly jabbed Luwyn in the chest. They exchanged a few quick words before backing away, allowing me to do the honors myself.

Nervously, I bit my lip and tried to determine whether I should bathe with my cosplay costume on. Though I’d claimed the pile of blankets as my own, there was no clothing available other than the very loincloths around the males’ waists. The room itself was already colder than I preferred, and if I got my outfit wet, it would probably take hours to dry. Until I got the hang of this shower, it was probably in my best interest to bathe in the nude.

I had no problems going au naturel—if these three aliens were going to be my cellmates, I might as well get used to a lack of privacy. I hadn’t been shy in the past, so why get nervous now? They’d already watched me have sex in this room.

Oh God, I have already accepted the fact that aliens surrounded me, and probably will never return home. How am I so calm about this?

I looked over my shoulder at the sapphire male who watched me keenly. I stuck my tongue out at him, making him jerk back, confused.

Flicking my hair over my shoulder, I decided I was better off not acknowledging him. He wasn’t taking responsibility for what he’d done to me, or he would have tried to converse with me like the other two—out loud and without invasive mind-fucking techniques. If that was how he built a relationship, then I wanted no part of it. I wasn’t going to waste my time dwelling on something I wished had never happened.

Sucking in a deep breath, I untied the two sets of strings of my halter tankini and threw it carelessly to the side. My chrome skirt quickly followed.

Trying to ignore the three pairs of eyes burning into my back, I selected the button Auro had indicated as hot and closed my eyes. Instantly, I yelped and scampered away when blazing hot water jetted from the ceiling.

Who the fuck bathed in boiling water?

A series of chuckles filled the room, heating my already scorched cheeks. I crossed an arm under my breasts as I turned to the snickering males, and pointed toward the scalding shower.

“No!”

Luwyn smirked and pointed at the controls. “Yessss.”

Auro said something to him, and Luwyn shook his head as he replied.

Frustrated, I let out a growl and jabbed another finger toward the shower. “Auro! No!”

He hesitated and glanced at Luwyn before they conversed.

My dream of getting clean was slipping through my fingers as these two males bickered over something about the shower and me. After a few moments of standing in place, my skin growing colder with each passing second, I finally grabbed Auro’s hand and pulled him to the shower. Right when I reached its boundary, I tugged on his arm, accidentally causing him to trip on the slippery floor. He tumbled into me, and I lost my balance.

Closing my eyes, I braced for impact. Only none came.

Auro’s arms wrapped around me, cradling my upper body above the floor as his body shielded mine. Our faces were a few inches apart as his white hair created a curtain from the world. His emerald eyes burned bright as his golden irises swirled wildly.

“Thank . . . ” I licked my suddenly dry lips. “Thank you, Auro,” I whispered, palming his cheek.

“Ek la sluwma,” he murmured slowly, his eyes zeroing in on my tongue as if he was hypnotized. “Yes?”

Throwing caution to the wind, because that’s what I did best, I nodded as I caressed his cheek with my thumb. “Yes, Auro.”

His mouth crushed against mine, all control lost, and moved lazily, letting me adjust to the feel of his lips on mine. When I moaned at his blatant display of power, he immediately deepened the kiss, slipping his tongue into my mouth. Its silky, candied-fruit taste was addicting as he explored my mouth expertly.

I pawed at his chest, relishing his taste as a sudden wave of arousal rushed over me, and the throbbing between my legs speared to life. He lay me down onto the ground, the heat
