[Siren Ménage Amour: Erotic Futuristic Sci-Fi Ménage a Trois, M/M/F, with M/M elements, HEA]
A warship is no place for a human mother and her child. However, Drakan Commander Alzaar and his second-in-command, Bentaan, have no choice but to bring Sapphyre and Jayde on board. Not least, because their instincts scream at them that she is the one woman who can turn them into a family again.
Sapphyre just wants to keep her daughter safe. How on earth does she do that surrounded by droolworthy Aliens, when her libido keeps leading her astray? It is abundantly clear that Alzaar doesn't want her on board the ship. At least Bentaan does and the sex is out of this world. If only her heart wasn't involved, and she didn't want both of them.
When the Tamarillion is attacked, Sapphyre has to fight for her men and the ship she now calls home. Without her all would be lost, and Alzaar finally shows his emotions.
However, when regulations and their pasts collide, can they rescue each other?
A Siren Erotic Romance
Well, that should probably be like an Alien, but never mind.
Release days never get old, I tell you. I've shared plenty of hot teases from Rescued by her Alien Warriors over the last few weeks, so I thought I would share a moment, where it dawns on Sapphyre that she is indeed on a Warship.
Being a mum, her first concern is for her daughter, of course, but she can't help worry over her Warriors too...
Sapphyre cleared
her throat.
“Is it true?
You’re taking the ship into battle? What does that mean for Jayde and me? You
promised to keep her safe. How is taking this ship into battle keeping her
safe? And who the hell are you fighting this time? Cirrions? Who are the
Brandyroon, and —”
Alzaar held up
his hand to stop her tumble of words, and Bentaan looked uncomfortable.
“If you stop
talking for one minute, woman, I will explain it to you. Even though I do not
owe you an explanation.” Alzaar growled the words and parts of Sapphyre just
melted.
As cross as she
was with him, her feminine side couldn’t help but respond to his virile
masculinity. Coupled with his natural dominance, it was a heavy aphrodisiac
indeed.
“Commander, take
it easy.” Bentaan’s softly spoken words seemed to only inflame Alzaar further.
He shook off the hand Bentaan had placed on his arm, and got up and paced. A
restless energy surrounded him, and Bentaan sighed and adjusted his weapon’s
belt.
“Things will get
rough around here for a while, Sapphyre.”
Alzaar snorted
at that.
“Rough is one
way of putting it. I told you not to sugar coat this for the human. This is why
she should not be on board.” He pinned his attention back on Sapphyre, and she
swallowed hard at what she saw in his eyes.
Grim
determination warred with excitement and annoyance, and his next words were
succinct and hit home.
“We are going
into war. The Tamarillion is the biggest and deadliest war ship in this
sector. Our allies, the Brandyroons, are under attack from the Cirrion scum.
Their fighters are attacking the galactic planes where Drakan outposts are
situated. It is my duty to defend our allies. There are innocent women and children
on those moons. They need protecting.”
There was a
curious note to his last few words, and Bentaan, too, looked incredibly sad all
of a sudden. Sapphyre sensed there was more at stake here than just orders.
This almost seemed personal to the men, but now was not the time to ask them.
Sapphyre realized that she placed a burden on them just by being here, but she
hadn’t asked to be brought on board, damn it.
“That’s as may
be,” she said, earning herself a glare to freeze the blood in her veins from
Alzaar and a raised eyebrow from Bentaan. “But I’m more concerned about my
daughter’s safety than some unknown alien women and children. Are these
Brandyroon even humanoid?”
Alzaar slammed
his fist on the table and Sapphyre jumped and leaned back as he pushed himself
right into her personal space.
“What difference
does that make, human? They need our protection. To not help them would make us
nothing more than animals. Back on your world it might have been the norm to
abandon people and only look out for yourself, but you are on my ship now and
I—”
“I’m sorry, that
came out wrong.” Sapphyre interrupted him, blood rushing in her ears. Really,
what had gotten into her today? “Of course you need to help them, and you’re
right, it doesn’t make any difference if they have six heads and two tails and
fly, but I need to explain this to Jayde, and I need all the facts.”
Some of the
harshness seemed to seep out of Alzaar at her whispered apology, and he sat
back down with a heavy thump.
“Please explain
it all to me, and how Jayde and I can stay out of the way. I know we shouldn’t
be here. Hell, I don’t want us to be here stuck on board while you go off to
fight. She’ll worry, and she’s seen enough fighting to last her several
lifetimes.”
Alzaar nodded
just once and Bentaan grasped her hand and squeezed. The action caused her
tummy to flip flop over in excitement and Sapphyre mentally rolled her eyes at
herself. So what that they were seven foot hunks of male perfection? So what if
their battle armor made them look even more imposing and dangerous? She was a
grown woman for fuck’s sake, not some impressionable teenager, so why then was
her body reacting as though she had never been touched by a man before?
She would never
act on this attraction between them, and it was abundantly clear that Alzaar,
certainly, didn’t want her on board his ship. The jury was still out on
Bentaan.
“Listen to me,
Sapphyre,” Bentaan said, and his deep rumbly voice soothed her frayed nerves.
“There is no need to worry over us. We’re warriors. This is what we do. The
ship will not be put in harm’s way during this. The Cirrion fighters are
smaller than us. They decided to launch a sneak attack on the moons, because
they knew they wouldn’t be protected. The moons are rich with gems that the
Cirrions want. We will launch a counter attack with our own smaller fighters.
It’s been a while since we had the chance to do so. I’m rather looking forward
to getting my sword bloody, right, Alzaar?”
A grim smile
played around Alzaar’s lips, and Sapphyre was once again reminded of the
ruthless warriors they were rumored to be. They certainly lived up to their
reputation right now.
“It will be good
to exact some vengeance,” Alzaar said.
“Too damn right,”
Bentaan agreed, and Sapphyre got the distinct impression that she was missing
something important here.
“All you have to
do is keep Jayde with you.” Alzaar spoke again and Sapphyre nodded. “I do not
want her running around the ship and getting in the way. We will have to move
fast, and while the ship’s shields will hold, there will be turbulence. I do
not expect the Cirrions to give in easily. The fighters can’t harm us, but if
their mothership turns up, it may.”
He, too, reached
across to take Sapphyre’s other hand at her sharp intake of breath in response
to his words.
“I say may,
because I will not lie to you, ever.”
His voice
dropped an octave and his crystal gaze grew so intense, Sapphyre could only nod
in answer.
“The worst
scenario is that they will drop their cloak, surprise us, and somehow manage to
break through our shields. None of which will happen, because we will be ready
for them. On the off chance of this occurring there is an outside chance of
them breaching the hull and boarding us.”
“A very, very
slim chance, Alzaar. Stop scaring her,” Bentaan cut in, and squeezed Sapphyre’s
hand again. She gave him a wan smile and shook her head.
“No, I need to
hear this. We need to be prepared, just in case. If that happens, what do you
want me to do?”
Approval lit up
both men’s faces, and their unspoken praise warmed Sapphyre’s bruised heart,
and some of her worry lifted. She had no doubt that these two would do
everything in their power to keep the ship safe.
“Jayde will be
scared and she will need her mother,” Alzaar continued. “Stay in my quarters
unless otherwise instructed. Can you do that?”
“Yes, I can.”
“Good, then you
are prepared.”
Alzaar leant
back in his chair, and thus dismissed, Sapphyre got up to leave, but Bentaan
stopped her.
“The Brandyroon
are humanoid, by the way. They have red skin, no tails and can’t fly. I know
Jayde will want the details. She is most curious, that daughter of yours.”
He winked at her,
and Sapphyre smiled.
“You can say
that again. Stay safe, both of you, please.”
Alzaar’s eyes
widened in surprise at her words, and Bentaan smiled.
“We will be.
We’re good at this.”
