Hide to Stay Alive (Club Release 1) (24 page)

Lingma pats me with her
tail again. A serious look fills her expressive dark eyes. “We
wouldn’t have stayed if it was a bad place. We may be horny beings
but we’re also smart. Din Zar and his warrior friends are
honorable. They are also picky about the people they hire to work
here. We’re lucky to be what they need.”

Relief has my shoulders
sagging. These two have just confirmed what I thought about Zar.
His heart is good. My lips purse as I wonder about the playthings.
“How did you two get here?”

“
I saw Din Ryk on my
planet, Tasroc, and asked him if I could work for Club Release.
After he looked me over to see if I was what the club needed, he
had me interview for the position on his spacecraft. I was thankful
for the job and still am.” Lingma shivers and her black eyes glaze
over again. “Now that male can fuck.” She fans herself with her
tail.

My jaw drops. It takes
time for me to pick the slack thing up. “I didn’t realize people on
other planets knew about the club.” How popular is this place? I
try not to picture Din Ryk fucking others without protection. I
have to ask. “Isn’t it unsafe to have sex without knowing if the
other person has a disease?”

“
Oh, never doubt a horny
zaphinian male. When they are interviewing a live-sex-plaything,
they wear condoms,” Lingma assures me and Babshi nods her
agreement.

“
My story is similar to
hers. Most of us asked to be here. Club Release in known around the
universe. Males talk,” Babshi says, her eyes wide and
expressive.

I feel like the wildling
Lingma called me. Living the way I did was safe but it kept me
ignorant of the world I lived on and of other worlds. My stomach
sours as I think about the whole universe knowing about this place.
That means the lizard-men that took me probably know about it
too.

“
Do they let anyone in?” I
don’t like that at all. A tremor runs down my spine. What if the
human eaters come here? I don’t want to be someone’s
dinner.

“
No, the owners are
selective about who gets in the doors. They have plenty of
fire-power backing them up. Since live-sex-playthings are needed
here on Zaphin, they protect us at all costs.” Lingma’s tone is
filled with respect for her bosses. I appreciate it.

That respect from a
plaything makes me feel even better about living with Din Zar and
giving him a part of my heart. “Why do they have to get playthings
from other planets?” I figure that while they are willing to give
me information I had better ask all the questions I can think
of.

Babshi’s full pink lips
break into a large smile. “Because they need people to dominate.”
She shivers and crosses her maroon thighs. “I love them dominating
me.”

A green tail swishes
around and pops Babshi on the shoulder. “Cool down, horny chick.
That didn’t answer Hallie’s question.” Lingma’s black eyes look
over at me. “Zaphinians produce a few more males than females and
the females they do have are usually dominant like the males. They
aren’t afraid of their species becoming extinct but this situation
puts the warriors in a bad position. The answer is simple. Hire or
buy submissives and work them at clubs like this one.”

Babshi raises her skimpy
top and fondles her breasts. She rolls her dark maroon nipples.
“For beings like us that have high sex drives this is paradise. All
those big cocks out there are just waiting to get in me.” She
pinches her nipples harder and shudders.

Lingma fans Babshi with
her tail. “Cool down, chick. She needs to know more.” Dark eyes
look my way. “Club Release is a win-win place. Horny healthy beings
like myself get to have sex with the warriors, plus their guests,
to get the sexual release we need.”

Babshi’s light blue eyes
brighten. “We all get what we need.” Her gaze moves around the
room. “The environment is safe and they feed and house us well. I
almost never leave the club. I have no reason to.”

Lingma’s dark gaze roams
over me and then her tail pats my arm.

“
You’re looking healthier.
You could use a few more pounds. Fucking’s better if you have a few
pounds of soft flesh on your bones. Din Zar is taking good care of
you.” Lingma’s tail reaches out and swats Babshi’s hand. Her gaze
switches from me to her friend. “Stop playing with yourself before
you come. You know the warriors like to heat us up. Control
yourself, we get to go have fun in a few minutes.”

“
I heard the males
practiced hard today. That means they’ll have lots of tension to
relieve. I can’t wait to start helping them out.” Babshi’s pretty
blue eyes glaze over. Her maroon tongue runs over her pink
lips.

I bite my lip as I think
about how delicious Zar’s cock is. I can understand why Babshi is
ready for some action. Some of the other men flash through my mind.
They are handsome but I don’t think I could have sex with
them.

“
Do you two ever think
about leaving the club and settling down with one male?” After the
words shoot from my mouth, I realize they could be taken the wrong
way. “Not that there’s anything wrong with your lives now,” I
quickly add.

A throaty laugh comes from
Lingma. “I won’t be leaving this place for a very long time. When I
do have to leave, due to old age, I plan on having a few males
lined up to live with. I love variety. Being here has made me
accustomed to having many males dominating me within safe walls.
I’ll want something close to this when I leave.”

“
Me, too.” Babshi releases
her breasts and slides her top back into place. “This is the best
place in the universe. I’m not leaving it to settle down with one
male. I love the variety of sexy males I get here. If you want more
than one male, you should think about becoming a plaything.” She
enthusiastically bobs her head causing her short wild hair to
dance.

A blast of heat crosses my
cheeks. “I think I’ll stay with Zar for now.”

Lingma’s green tail darts
out and swats my hand. “Address him properly when in public.
Zaphinians like to be called by their title.” Her dark eyes gleam.
“Unless you want him to punish you, that is?”

Babshi shivers and grins.
“I love it when they strip us down and spank us. It fuels the fire
in them and then they fuck with wild abandon. There’s nothing else
like it. I think I’ll be bad tonight.”

“
Chick, you are so sexually
devious. I love that about you. Maybe you can be bad to two males
at the same time,” Lingma suggests as she fans herself with her
tail.

“
Double the sex. Double the
fun.” Babshi licks her bright pink lips and slides her hand between
her legs.

Lingma’s tail darts out
and swats Babshi’s hand. “Stop it. You know they want to work for
it.”

Pink lips pout. “You’re
right.” Her light blue eyes suddenly brighten. “I do love them
working for it. All that muscle and commanding dominance directed
at me.”

A few naked females walk
by us and then come back. Two of them are humans but they are a
good six feet tall. I haven’t met any human females that tall on
Earth. Due to the lack of food, I’m considered tall at five feet
seven inches. I wonder where they got enough food from to be so
tall.

The tasrocian with them
looks familiar. A second later, I realize she’s the one that Din
Von had sitting in his lap and then sent off the first time I was
here in the club. She’s just as pretty as Lingma. But then all of
the females and males that work here are good looking in their own
way.

Green, pretty, and proud,
the tasrocian says, “Hi, I’m Morsa and these two are Kammy and
Diana. Are you from Bluemoon like them?”

“
No, I’m from Earth. I
didn’t know humans were settled on other planets?” I must be the
most ignorant being on the planet. But at least I’m doing better in
a crowd now that I’ve set my mind to it. That’s one good
thing.

“
Humans are on a few
planets,” Diana says. Her gaze glances down my body. “Are you a
plaything now?”

“
No, I’m Din Zar’s seema.”
All three of the females look at me with sad eyes.

Kammy’s green eyes soften.
“He’s a nice guy. If you ask nicely, he’ll let you come to work
here. This is where all the cock is.”

Diana’s blue eyes light
up. “That’s right. This is the place to be. Lots of sexy males just
panting to dominate us.”

Fire touches my cheeks. I
can’t imagine sharing my body with so many different
males.

Morsa’s lips form an O.
“That shy look is going to get you a lot of attention. Zaphinian
males do like a challenge.” She taps her dark green tail on the
edge of the table. “Unless, you only want one male.”

All of the females around
me gasp in horror.

CHAPTER

28

~ Hallie ~

♥

I feel terrible. I don’t
want to be passed around. I remember Lingma and Babshi saying how
much fun Zar is when playing with the two of them. Doubt fills my
chest. I don’t know if I can make him happy. My stupid heart is
falling hard for a male I don’t think I can satisfy. I don’t want
to hold him back. What am I going to do?

The door opens and Din Zar
walks over to me. All of the females around the table freeze and
one at time they look into his eyes. At his nod they relax and
leave the area. His gaze lands on me. I look away. He clears his
throat and I look up into his eyes.

“
You are to hold my gaze
until I release you.” He looks into my eyes and then inhales
through his vents. A moment later he nods.

I look down at my hands
and wring them. Shame wells in my chest. I can’t make him happy.
That makes me sad.

The cuff being slapped on
my wrist draws my attention. I look up into his intense eyes.
“Come, seema. It looks like we need some privacy.” He helps me up,
clasps my hand with his, and leads me out of the room.

Fuck. He’d just absorbed
my emotions and now he knows I’m not right for him. Will he take me
back to the platform from hell? Is that where we’re going? I don’t
want to leave Zaphin. I don’t want to be sold again.

A low growl coming from
him has me looking up. Zar isn’t looking at me, he’s busy making a
path through the crowd. I’m a step behind him and forced into
walking fast to keep up. Worry has my heart pounding. He growls
again but he’s so focused on guiding me through the crowd that he
doesn’t look down at me. It has to be bad if he’s growling without
even looking into my eyes.

He leads me close to one
of the bars and to a door that blends into the dark wall. I haven’t
notice the door the couple of times I’ve been led passed it. Zar
presses his hand to the handle and leads me through the
door.

In the corridor, behind
the closed door, the sound of the music is muted. I follow him into
a room and quickly look around. It appears to be a lounge. There is
a small bar in the corner and several causal seating areas. Of
course, the furniture is massive just like the males that use
it.

My cuff coming off has my
attention snapping way up and into his lightly glowing eyes. Oh,
shit. I know for a fact that his eyes only glow when his emotions
are running high.

I briefly wonder if I’ve
done something wrong that I’m not even aware of. Moving to a new
planet is not an easy thing. If he wants to get rid of me, I hope
he takes me back home. I worry my teeth over my lower
lip.

He inhales deeply and then
his gaze softens. “What’s bothering you, seema?”

Fuck. I wring my hands and
look at the floor. The floor is safe. His laser gaze will do me in
if I look into it. I really like him. If I lie convincingly maybe I
can keep him. My parents have to be rolling over in their grave.
With lots of compunction, I answer, “Nothing really.”

His boots move into my
line of vision. I start slightly when his thumb and index finger
gently pinch my chin and raise my face. There’s fire in his eyes.
“Don’t lie to me, Hallie Mead. Your scent stinks of insecurity and
worry. What did the playthings say that set you off?”

I shiver at his commanding
tone. A satisfied gleam enters his mesmerizing eyes. Fuck. He knows
I’m going to cave so I may as well do it. “I can’t get naked in
front of all the club members.”

A dark brow raises.
“And?”

Searing heat blazes a path
across my cheeks. “I d…don’t want to be passed around to other
males.” I lower my gaze to get away from his intense one. I don’t
want to share him with other females either. My heart sinks. I wish
I could be like everyone else here.
