Noratu looked at the woman in restraints. “Is this Luna Borak or Cara Slanar?”
“Everyone keeps calling me Luna,” the sobbing female provided. “But my name is Raina and I will answer to nothing else.”
Clearly, the female’s training had yet to begin. She was as wild as Flora had been when they brought her aboard Draven’s ship.
“Who authorized the auction?” Draven asked.
Flora spun around and turned her wrath on Draven. “You knew about this?” One of the fireballs sputtered out, but she held her other arm bent and raised as if she would hurl the energy at her controller. “Auctioning females is acceptable on Altor? What the hell is wrong with you people?”
Draven effortlessly reached across their link and pulled the mystic energy out of her entire body, ensuring she didn’t manifest another fireball.
Flora gasped, looking at her hand in confusion.
Moving so close that he towered over their indignant mate, Draven spoke in a quiet yet inflexible tone. “This is your only warning. Regain control of your emotions right now or there will be consequences.”
“Fuck you, asshole,” she shot back, eyes blazing defiance. “Order those jerks to release my sister or the onlyconsequencewill be your blue balls.”
Draven’s eyes widened. “Are you threatening me?”
“That’s a promise, not a threat.”
Noratu shook his head. She knew better than this. Challenging Draven was never a good idea, but doing so in public left him no choice but to punish her severely. And threatening anyone in the Citadel with Altorian fire wasn’t just misbehavior, it was a crime.
Draven wrapped his hand around her upper arm as he looked at the guards. “When is the auction scheduled to take place?”
“Nine a.m. two days from now,” one of them supplied.
Draven nodded. “Take Raina to a holding cell. I apologize for the behavior of my mate. Her outburst shall be addressed as soon as we reach our quarters.”
CHAPTER6
“Iapologize for the behavior of my mate. Her outburst shall be addressed as soon as we reach our quarters.”
Defiance blasted through Flora as soon as she heard Draven’s words. Her ‘outburst’ had been warranted and then some. She twisted her arm out of his grasp and took off running in the opposite direction. The impulse was pointless. The Citadel was a space station, so there wasn’t anywhere to go. And thanks to their psychic link, either of her mates could sense her regardless of where she went.
She didn’t even make it to the end of the hallway before Draven picked her up and slung her over his broad shoulder.
“Put me down!” she shouted, kicking and pounding on his back with her fists.
He held her legs firmly with one arm and smacked her ass with the other hand. “You are only making your punishment worse with each act of defiance and your discipline will be long and painful as it is. You threatened Citadel guards with Altorian fire. That is a criminal act. You could still be arrested if they choose to file an official complaint.”
Shoving against his back rather than hitting him, she tried to dislodge his hold. “They’re going to auction Raina off like livestock! How can you be okay with that?”
“The guards were simply following orders,” Draven objected. “They escorted her from one place to another.”
“That’s not the point!” she yelled, kicking her feet wildly.
He smacked her bottom twice, hard. “Watch your tone. I will not tolerate your disrespect any longer.”
Each of his agitated steps bounced her against his shoulder, making it hard to breathe. “Your technology might be advanced, but this entire star system is filled with barbarians.”
Draven slipped his hand under her simple dress and squeezed her naked bottom. Conduits weren’t allowed to wear panties. The rule helped Flora maintain a submissive mindset, or at least that was the intention. It wasn’t working right now. “You do not seem to mind our barbaric ways.”
She tried to ignore his touch, but his fingers were warm and her anger frequently led to passion. “Stop pawing me,” she snapped, refusing to give in to her body’s need. “I didn’t give you permission.”
He chuckled, easing his long fingers between her thighs. “I don’t need permission,mate. This lovely body belongs to Noratu and me. You gave us control over you when you chose to bond with us.” He teased her folds then lightly rubbed her clit. “You are ours to do with as we wish.”
She groaned. His possessive words never failed to send heat curling through her pussy and it annoyed the hell out of her right now. She was too damn angry to give in this easily. “Enjoy sleeping alone tonight, Draven. I told you to free Raina or you would have blue balls.”
