“Another guard?”
“What does she need guards for?”
“Are we actually safe? Or is this all for show?”
“Zariah!” Teol bolts across the room and crashes into me. “You’re okay! Oh, my gosh, I was so worried!”
Gashnaar eases up beside Elix. “She really wasss.”
I can’t help but laugh a little at Teol’s excitement. The room around us seems to return to normal chatter, and I feel a little better. “So what the heck is going on with the schedule?”
“We’re just doing Glitter Ball, Low-G Laser Tag, and the Hot Maze. That’s it. They did the speed dating and other things while we were on the tour. We just got back a few hours ago.”
The speakers beep. “Attention all racers. Glitterball has been rescheduled and will start in thirty minutes.”
25: Zariah
Glitterball is sort of like dodgeball but with a ball that puffs sparkling powder that makes everybody horny. A yellow alien male swats away the cloud that envelopes him as his hover boots lower him to the floor. Red veins squirm under his skin. The moment he’s down, he pants heavily and calls for someone named DiDi.
She sprints to him from the hallway and jumps into his arms. Urihm, if I’m guessing right by her erotic cry, carries her outside and dry humps her against a wall. Almost everyone who has been taken out has had a similar reaction. I wonder how this goes for someone who isn’t matched.What do they do?
Then I think of my mother watching this, watching couples like Urihm and Didi grinding on her TV and grimace. It’s a side of her I never expected. But it makes me wonder if she wished she’d had a chance to feel so adored and wanted.
My father was a piece of work.
Elix and Aurelius watch from a private observation room. They only permitted me to enter the game after they were sure the race arena was secure. They are not allowed to be seen except in private quarters or in security-approved areas because they aren’t human. I understand now why Elix concealed himself.
He wanted to be closer to me.
I skate aside as the ball smokes a trail toward me. The trick with Glitter Ball is to keep moving. Hoverboots aren’t that unfamiliar to me as I use them when I’ve got to repair the StarBuster’s exterior. My trouble is that Isuckat throwing balls. Bad.
I would much rather play with Elix’s. They’re warm and smooth and so big.I giggle to myself.And now they glow.
In my distraction, I take a hit to the side.
“Ah, damn it.”
My boots click down a power level and lower me to the floor as a high kicks in. My heart beats faster. My pussy slicks and tightens in anticipation. And all I can think about is Elix’s ripped body and his huge green cock.
I want him,now.
“Elix?” I walk out of the arena, boots darkened and clunking heavily as I walk. “I know you can hear me.”
Seeing a hint of movement behind a glass wall, I walk to the next hallway, and he steps out of a door.
I run to him the way DiDi ran to Urihm. I can’t help it. I crash into him and bond my mouth to his.
Elix hums a hungry grunt. His mouth is warm against mine. “Oh, what is that dust? It’s making me want to tear that fresh race suit off of you.”
Elix’s skin shifts and takes on a lighter hue.
“You going to do something about it?”
He nips at my ear and rumbles a deep note in lust.
“I’ll take that as a yes.”
I kick my boots off and leave them behind as Elix sneaks me back to his ship.
