An exciting interlude in the midst of danger.
She’d felt the room as cool earlier, but Lokmi’s stare made her flush warm. It never failed to amaze her how after years of clanship, after being naked in front of her men on countless occasions, they could still make her feel exposed and vulnerable. Lokmi was particularly adept at it. Simply sitting on a messy, dilapidated bed, he evinced the aura of a king whose every whim must be obeyed. Hope could well imagine enslaved concubines of history feeling as powerless as she did under the control of a lascivious monarch they dared not deny.
The difference was, his undeniable will and how he’d wield it excited her. There was anxiety, but it was anticipatory. She had no reason to fear her clanmate.
“The bra.” His gaze raked her.
She schooled her features to not betray her feelings as her chest, her least favorite body part, was exposed. Her younger sister Charity had inherited all the curves. Hope’s figure was slim to the point of boyishness, a fact she’d never quite lost self-consciousness about. It wasn’t her clanmates’ fault; they made no secret they found her desirable. Perhaps it was her breasts’ sensitivity they deemed alluring. When Lokmi, Piras, or Kila fondled and sucked them, she could barely contain her excitement.
Lokmi nor Piras were touching them, however. Lokmi merely looked, and she fought the urge to cover herself, embarrassed yet again and angry she felt that way. Nothing was wrong with her body. Her men had proved it so on many occasions.
Fortunately, Lokmi moved on before she could dwell on her perceived shortcomings. “Shoes.”
Piras tugged her sneakers off. Hope gave Lokmi an appealing look.
“Yes?” His brow lifted, telling her she was pushing her luck by interrupting the striptease.
“Can I keep the socks on, please? The floor looks dirty.”
He chuckled. “You can wash your feet, my germaphobe.” At her whine, he granted her wish. “Fine. Leave the socks. Shorts, Piras.”
Hope wasn’t as sensitive when her shorts slipped down her legs, her best feature. Kila had rhapsodized often about how gorgeous they were wrapped around their hips or heads, depending on the specific activity. Toned, smooth, and long for her small proportions, their exposure never failed to make Lokmi lick his lips in appreciation, as he did now. He rubbed his crotch, adjusting the bulges as his cocks strained his pants.
“Panties.”
The crotch of her underpants, a lacy match to her bra, painted wet lines on her inner thighs as Piras slid them to her ankles. She sensed she looked ridiculous standing in her very unsexy fleet-issued socks, but she was certain the floor was covered in grossness. It was best not to take chances.
Her concerns about filth were brushed aside as Lokmi stood and adjusted his erections once more. He stalked around her, examining her from every angle. Piras had sunk into a semi-crouch next to her feet, his hands resting on his thighs as he waited to be used, sent away, or simply ignored.
Lokmi stroked the Dramok’s hair absently as he passed him. His regard was casual, but Hope knew he registered the lift of Piras’ shoulders and his aura of contentment at the brief acknowledgement. Lokmi might appear indifferent, but he was always intensely aware of every nuance when it came to his clanmates, particularly those who’d put themselves under his control.
