Hannah's Warrior: Cosmos' Gateway Book 2 Read online

  Breaking away from Hannah, he moved slowly up her body. He let his canines scrape along her skin gently. He could feel the chemical at the hollowed tips seeping out. He wanted to take Hannah without biting her first but knew it would be impossible because of his own arousal. He could not believe how explosive she reacted in his arms without having to bite her. Never had he heard of this before his brother’s mate. The power of the feelings coursing through him made his heart beat fast with excitement and joy.

  Borj pulled his body over Hannah, caging her within his arms. He stared down into her dazed eyes, the look in them firing his already heated blood. He settled his heavy cock between her legs still spread wide from his tonguing of her clit. He watch her eyes dilate as the hot tip of his cock pressed against her swollen folds demanding entrance. Her breathing increased to almost a pant as she arched her back in an attempt to get closer.

  “Please!” Hannah begged as her breathing came faster. “I need you so badly I hurt. Love me, Borj. Claim me and never let me go.”

  Borj’s restraint dissolved at Hannah’s breathless plea. With a surge, he took her in one thrust breaking through the barrier and settling deeply into her womb at the same time as he sunk his teeth into the curve where her shoulder and neck met. Hannah’s body convulsed under his at the intense pleasure/pain of his thrust and bite followed by the release of the chemical into her blood stream that coursed through her body. Borj held still as he let Hannah’s body adjust to his. The muscles in his neck stood out as he forced his body to obey him. He continued to let the chemical in his canines release as the sweet taste of Hannah’s blood seeped around the wound into his mouth. He moaned as his cock jerked deep inside Hannah against his will. The feel and taste of her was so good, so intense he felt like he was dying.

  Hannah felt the pain but it was insignificant compared to the other feelings burning through her. She could feel the fire of his bite as the chemical moved rapidly through her, singeing her as the heat built. Her body was trapped under Borj’s; held tight in the cage of his arms, held still by his grip on her shoulder, and impaled by his throbbing cock. She should have felt intense fear. Instead, she felt a need, a want that screamed for fulfillment. Hannah moved her hips in a slightly circular motion to get him to understand she needed him to move. She wanted to feel everything he had to give to her. Scraping her nails down his back to grab his ass, she pulled her legs up far enough to wrap them around the back of his thighs.

  “Fuck me, Borj.” Hannah moaned. “Move for me. Take me hard. I want to feel what it’s like when you lose control. Give me everything, my love. Love me.” Hannah breathed as she moved her hips and brushed her breasts against his chest.

  “Gods, Hannah. You do not know what you ask.” Borj muttered as he gently licked at the mark he left on her delicate skin. “I could hurt you.”

  “Never.” Hannah said with a brilliant smile as she realized it was true. She knew deep down he could never hurt her.

  Borj pulled partially out of her and slammed back in letting her feel the full length of his cock. Both of them groaned as the heated friction pulled at them as he moved. Borj opened his mind to Hannah letting her see and feel the images and feeling coursing through him. He knew the moment she saw his desire for her. He held nothing back. Not the ways he wanted to claim her, his love and need for not only her body but her companionship, nothing. He let his loneliness and years of pushing his own wants and needs aside for his people show. He shared his deepest longing…his secret yearning for someone to share his life with and to watch her grow round with his children.

  “Never again.” Hannah said understanding his feelings which mirrored her own. “You’ll never be alone again, I promise.”

  Borj stared into Hannah’s eyes as he began moving faster and harder. He never took his eyes off hers even as he felt the tightening in his balls as his orgasm built. Her hot channel fought to hold him to her, causing a delicious friction all along his cock. He fought his own need as long as he could before it exploded out of him in fiery streams of hot seed deep inside Hannah’s womb. His hoarse cry of release was pulled from the very depths of his soul as he found the plane of peace only the claiming of his bond mate could bring deep inside him.

  Hannah gasped as she felt the heated release deep inside her and Borj’s hard shaft jerking as his release came hot and heavy inside her. Her own body reacted to his, clamping down like a vicious fist around his cock refusing to let him pull out until she was ready. Hannah didn’t even realize her fingernails were drawing blood as she gripped Borj’s arms as she came again. Her cries burst from her lips as if she was shattering into a million pieces.

  Borj dropped down until his head rested in the curve of Hannah’s shoulder breathing deeply in an attempt to calm his racing pulse. Never, never in all his long years had he ever felt anything so intense and fulfilling. He could feel Hannah’s own heart beating as one with his own.

  “We are one, ku lei. We belong forever to each other.” Borj said possessively.

  “I can handle forever if it is anything like this. I can’t believe I was so afraid to try this before! I feel like every bone in my body has melted into a liquid pool on the bed.” Hannah mused in sated wonder.

  Borj growled out at the image of Hannah letting another man claiming her. He felt his cock jerk in answer to his possessiveness. He wanted to fill her with his essence so there was no mistake as to who she belonged to.

  “What?” Hannah’s gasped as she felt Borj moving again inside her.

  “I have need of you still, ku lei.” Borj groaned out again kissing her deeply as he began moving again.

  Hannah stopped thinking and just began enjoying the feel of Borj’s body against hers. No wonder my parents are always getting it on if it feels this good, Hannah thought vaguely. She heard Borj’s chuckle before he deepened the kiss and she stopped thinking about anything but him.

  Chapter 11

  Life fell into a pattern over the next several weeks. Tresa explained Teriff finally reluctantly agreed to send Terra to stay with Cosmos until the next mating ceremony which was in a few months. Borj’s younger brother, Mak, escorted her and was going to stay for a couple weeks until he was satisfied Terra would be safe with Cosmos and on Earth. They left the day before and Hannah missed the sweet girl already. Terra had spent a great deal of time with her, Tink and Tilly teaching them the language so they weren’t dependent on the translators. She reminded Hannah of a female Cosmos in how smart she was and how she often got caught up in what she was doing. Hannah felt confident Cosmos would do a good job protecting the delicate young woman who was used to being protected by her three older brothers and one younger one. Hannah even met Derik who was allowed to accompany Mak but only for a few days. He was still in training as a warrior and could not miss many lessons. Mak promised to work with him while they were gone. Derik was full of himself because he had already been to Earth and wanted to introduce Mak to some of the sights; namely beer and babes.

  During this time, Hannah even got over feeling embarrassed about her parents making out in all the hallways since Tink and J’kar were just as bad about doing it. Hell, she even caught Tresa and Teriff a couple of times! Although, she had to admit she could totally appreciate where they were coming from now that she had a taste of the passion pie. It was almost impossible for her to not touch Borj whenever they were near each other. Near meaning if he was anywhere she could get her hands on him. Hannah couldn’t believe how much she had changed over just a few short weeks. She loved the sense of freedom and power she felt. It was like she found a missing piece to her soul.

  Unfortunately, getting her hands on Borj didn’t come as often as she would like as Borj attended a number of meetings during the day. During this time, Hannah took the opportunity to explore the palace and outside gardens learning the layout and photographing everything from the daily lives of the people who lived and worked there to the different plants and animals she saw. Her mom helped her set up a developing syste
m in one of the smaller rooms in her and Borj’s living quarters so she could continue her work. Hannah gazed out the window knowing she would need to talk to Borj soon about exploring further afield but for now she could wait.

  Things changed late last night when Borj came in growling under his breath. It seemed members of the Eastern Mountain Clan sent a group of representatives to meet with Teriff and the council of Elders who ruled in regards to Tink. Borj suggested Hannah might want to stay close to their living quarters until the group left again. He explained they wanted to know if the information they received from Bachman was correct.

  Of course, once Tink and Tilly found out a bunch of hot guys were sniffing around wanting to know more about Tink they couldn’t resist sneaking out. So, the next morning after the guys left Hannah, Tink, and Tilly snuck out to see what these other warriors looked like. Borj didn’t say anything to Hannah except to stay close to their living quarters. She considered since she wasn’t leaving the palace that meant close to her. J’kar, on the other hand, gave dire threats to Tink if he caught her out of their living quarters. Tink crossed her fingers and promised she would be good. Her look of innocence made J’kar frown all that much more. Tink pointed out to Hannah she said she would be good. She never said she would stay in their living quarters and never said what she would be good at so according to her and their mom, she was covered. Hannah had rolled her eyes at that logic and figured since she was the only sane one of the three she better go to help them when - not if - but when they got in trouble. She knew her sister and mom to well to expect anything not to happen.

  J’kar had been so determined to make sure Tink didn’t sneak out he programmed the door to their living quarters to be locked and only opened by him or the guard in case of an emergency. What he didn’t plan on was Tilly, Tink, and RITA working together. Tilly distracted the guard while Tink and RITA hacked into the command sealing the door. Within minutes, Tink was free and the guard was unknowingly guarding an empty room. Tilly and Tink sought out Hannah and that was how the three of them ended up hiding behind a couple of large planters in the Council Chambers, having snuck in before everyone arrived.

  Hannah looked through the plants curiously as a large group of huge men wearing some type of leather pants, high boots, and leather vests came into the room. They looked different not only in the way they dressed but also in that their hair was longer and braided in thin braids. Several had weapons and when the guards approached them Hannah held her breath when it looked like a Mexican standoff was about to happen. It was only a sharp order from Teriff that caused all the men to back off with a just a little more posturing.

  Tilly rolled her eyes and mouthed ‘men’. Tink and Hannah bit back a giggle at their mom. She was going to get them all caught! Hannah turned her head to look back at what was going on.

  “What is the purpose of this visit?” Teriff said standing tall in front of the other men.

  Hannah’s eyes darted to her mother who was cupping herself and showing Teriff must have a huge set of steel balls to stand up to the six huge men standing in front of him. Hannah smothered her chuckle barely but Tink’s escaped with a tiny squeak. One of the warriors in the back turned slightly and all three women froze. Hannah saw him raise his nose and sniff the air. She had seen similar behavior in the male lions and gorillas she would photograph. Hannah barely let her hand move to show her mom and Tink to hold still. If he continued, they might need to beat a hasty retreat. It would be tricky but there was a side door about six feet from them that led to another corridor according to RITA’s schematic of the palace. RITA was going to monitor them in case they needed help escaping. She would unlock and lock doors as needed.

  Hannah let out a sigh of relief when the warrior turned back around when the man next to him said something. Hannah leaned forward slightly so she could listen.

  “You have a female from a different species that one of you has been able to bond with successfully. You will share where her planet is with us.” The broadest warrior said in a smooth voice.

  Hannah shivered as his deep, rich voice rolled over her. He could have been a voice-over to any sexy movie. His voice alone made a girl think of cold sheets, hot skin, and sweaty bodies tangled together. Hannah looked at her mom who was fanning herself with a ‘wow’ expression on her face. Tink didn’t help when she licked one of her fingers and made a slight sizzling sound. On second thoughts, Hannah thought, it was going to be Tink that got them caught!

  Tink knelt down when J’kar’s eyes suddenly flashed to the planter where she was hiding with Tilly. Hannah watched as his eyes narrowed dangerously. Uh oh, Tink wasn’t as good at hiding her thoughts as Hannah was. Hannah bit back a grin as she saw his face darken and his lips tighten. Hannah glanced at Tink but she was just grinning dangerously. Double uh oh. Hannah’s eyes swung to J’kar’s face just in time to see him flush a dark red and his eyes glaze slightly. Whatever Tink was thinking it was definitely having an effect on him. Hannah let her gaze wander over to Borj wondering if she could do that to him as well. She let a picture of her sucking on his cock, long and slow with his hands tangled in her long hair form in her mind, and watched his face.

  Borj stiffened as a crystal clear image flowed into his mind of Hannah on her knees in front of him. He fought the surge of blood to his cock but it was no use as the images of her slowly sliding his thick length into her mouth caused him to jerk as if it was really happening. He shifted slightly as he felt the pressure building. His eyes drooped to half close as the images changed to show her moving over him to allow him to feast on her while she continued to pleasure his cock with her mouth. His face flushed with need as he fought back a groan. Just as suddenly the image vanished leaving him hard and unsatisfied. He couldn’t quite keep the low curse from escaping as his eyes swung around the room frantically.

  Hannah bit down hard on her knuckles to keep from laughing out loud. Yup, she could do it too if the look on Borj’s face was anything to go by. Hannah glanced at Tink and her mom and saw both of them grinning at her with their thumbs up in triumph. Hannah blushed and turned back to look at the group again. If she wasn’t careful she was going to be the one to get them caught, she thought with a huge grin. She hadn’t had this much fun in…she couldn’t remember!

  The man in the back looked at both Borj and J’kar before turning to look over his shoulder again. Hannah made sure she was hidden but got the weirdest feeling he knew she was there as his eyes continued to stare at the planter she was hiding behind.

  Hannah realized she was missing a good portion of the discussion and forced herself to behave. RITA was going to have to fill in the missing parts. They were having her record what was going on for them, as well.

  Teriff looked at Merrick for a long moment before replying. As leader of the Eastern Mountain Clan, Teriff knew he needed to be careful with how he handled this situation. Merrick could be one mean son-of-a-bitch when he was in a good mood. The clan was small but powerful. Their skills in the mountains and high trees were unprecedented. They were a valuable allied.

  “What of the human male? He is dangerous. He killed two of my warriors. I want him delivered to us.” Teriff responded coldly.

  “He still has his purpose. When we are done with him I will turn him over.” Merrick said arrogantly. “Where did you get the female?”

  “That information cannot be shared at this time.” J’kar responded stepping up next to his father.

  “Why? We wish to see her. I, personally, doubt that she is real. I have never seen a creature such as her in all my travels to other systems. I believed this male is lying. But…” Merrick said with a raised eyebrow and a cruel twist to his lips that could be considered a smile. “…now I wonder. I want to see this female for myself.”

  J’kar’s fist clenched as he fought back the urge to challenge Merrick. He knew the warrior was baiting him but the thought of exposing his tiny mate to such a threat caused his blood to boil. What infuriated him even more was the k
nowledge his tiny mate was probably closer than he would like right now. He fought back the urge to clear everyone out of the room so he could find where she was hiding. Then, he might not be able to beat her ass right now but he could definitely tie her up! J’kar let his eyes flicker around the room briefly again narrowing on the large planters towards the back.

  “That is not possible.” Teriff answered in a low voice. “The male you have not only killed two of my warriors but tried to kill my son’s bond mate. You know the penalty for that. He struck her and stabbed her repeatedly. If not for their bond, she would have died. What warrior would protect another who would harm a defenseless female of any species?”

  Merrick’s eyes grew dark at not only the insult to his clan but at the thought of a male attacking a female and harming her so badly. The human male said nothing about killing any Prime warriors or harming the female in the holovid. Merrick would deal with the human male who thought to take advantage of him. His jaw tightened as he fought back his own annoyance.

  “Answer this question. Was one of your warriors able to bond with a female from a different species? If so, are you prepared to share this knowledge with other clans?” Merrick asked Teriff.

  Merrick watched as several of the other council members leaned in to talk in hurried whispers. He already knew the answer. He just wanted a chance to see the female. It was hard to see from the grainy image and the angle if the female species was worth pursuing. Personally, he was still skeptical but for the sake of his clan he made the decision to come see for himself if what was on the holovid was true. Just the thought of what the female had said made him shift in discomfort as his cock swelled. He let out a low growl of frustration.

  “Merrick.” A soft voice came from behind him.

  Merrick let his head turn slightly to look at one of his younger cousins. “What?” He practically snarled under his breath.
