The Gladiator's Prize (8 page)

Almost as if he had read his mind
Logan placed a kiss against his cheek, before moving upwards to
whisper in his ear, “Have you been fucked before?”

“
Many years ago,” Matt
said honestly, shivering from the feel of Logan’s big body covering
him. “Almost a lifetime ago.”

“
How many men?” Logan
demanded, his nostrils flaring.

“
Just one.”

“
Then I am
almost
your first,”
Logan breathed. “The honor…oh, Gods, I am going to make you come
harder than you ever had. You will scream your pleasure into my
mouth.”

He captured Matt’s lips in a kiss and
it made the human’s head spin. He squirmed beneath Logan and
clutched at his shoulders. Blood raced through his veins, his cock
begged for relief, and by the time Logan began to penetrate him
Matt was ready. He lifted his knees and allowed the alien as much
access as he needed.

Matt expected Logan to thrust hard,
but he didn’t. He penetrated inch by torturous inch. It would be a
lie to say that Matt took him easily, because he didn’t. Logan was
painfully large and Matt gritted his teeth against the combination
of pleasure and pain.

“
It’s too much,” Matt
whispered. “Too much.”

“
And you’re too tight…”
Logan groaned. “Too fucking tight.”

He pulled back out, leaving Matt’s ass
to both clench and relax. It was the oddest sensation because
although Logan’s penetration had hurt, Matt wanted him back in. He
needed to feel the friction of the alien’s length, and he needed to
rub his dick against Logan’s hard stomach muscles.

But Logan didn’t pull away completely.
He reached around to the back of his pants and pulled out a tiny
vial of liquid. He poured the liquid over his dick so that it
glistened and shone in the light of the arena.

The people in the crowd were shrieking
now. They had no time for tenderness. They wanted Logan to fuck the
human hard, whether he was lubricated enough or not.

“
Fuck him. Fuck him,” they
chanted.

Logan did.

This time his cock slipped in straight
away. Matt hissed in a sharp breath as he felt the full force of
Logan’s invasion. He lifted his hands to clutch the other male’s
shoulders and tilted his hips. The angle allowed Logan’s cock all
the way in, but also meant that Matt’s was rubbing against Logan’s
muscles.

Pleasure raced through his channel and
wrapped around to his dick. It was both too much and not enough at
the same time. Logan fucked him slowly, allowing him time to get
used to him, but Matt wanted more. He was stretched so far, and yet
the nerve endings in his ass were quivering with
pleasure.

Gods, he needed to come!

“
Please,” he begged.
“Please.”

“
You never need to beg
me!” Logan grated. “Never, human, never.”

He sped up, thrusting in and out of
Matt with a relentless rhythm. His cock was so large that it caught
Matt’s prostate when he pulled out, almost like it was caressing
that little bundle of never endings. The crowd roared their
approval, but it meant nothing to Matt. His entire being was
focused on one thing and one thing only.

When Matt came he did so with a cry
that made the crowd scream. His cum shot out across Logan’s belly,
waves and waves of it. The orgasm was the most intense that Matt
had ever felt. He rode the crest of pleasure, his cock throbbing,
his ass muscles clenching around Logan’s cock, pulling in as much
as they could.

The alien came in an
instant.

His hoarse roar brought the crowd to
its knees. Mean and women surged forwards, trying desperately to
get through the barriers surrounding the arena. Watching was no
long enough for them. They wanted to be part of the lovemaking they
could now see on the arena floor. They wanted to experience it for
themselves.

Matt saw all of this through a
pleasure-induced haze. His orgasm was finally abating and he could
feel Logan’s cum dripping from his ass, lubricating him further,
and allowing the still hardened alien to thrust in and out
slowly.

With each slow thrust the reality of
the situation began to nudge its way into Matt’s mind.

On the arena floor.

Being fucked by the strongest
gladiator in the system.

And you loved
it…

He let out a shaky breath, wrapped his
arms around Logan’s neck, and pushed his face into the alien’s
chest. Logan responded with a growl and a shudder.

“
Mine, human,” he
whispered. “You are mine.”

Matt closed his eyes and tried to
order his thoughts, but it was impossible. The crowd was too loud,
Logan’s dick was too hard, and Matt’s body was too replete. Only
one thought was clear and ringing in his mind, and it was one that
Matt did not want to face.

You’ll never manage to
escape now.

Chapter Eleven

Logan was trembling from
the pleasure he had just experienced.
Trembling!
But was that any wonder?
The sensations that had raced through his body were like nothing he
had ever known, and there was no doubt in his mind that no other
male would ever be able to make him feel the same way. It was as he
had suspected. Matt was meant for him. Matt was the male he had
been waiting for year after year when he hadn’t even
known
he was
waiting!

Matt was his.

Still buried deep within the human,
his cock stiff as a pole, Logan shuddered and tried to get a grip
on both his emotions and his thoughts. Matt still had his arms
wrapped around Logan’s neck and his ass was clenching and
unclenching in time with Logan’s slow thrusts. He was completely
sensitized now, groaning from Logan’s cum tingling along his nerve
endings. Any pain he might have felt from the initial invasion
would be swept away. Right now, Matt James was nothing more than a
bundle of feelings and pleasure.

Just the way Logan wanted
him.

He looked around
carefully, smirking as he did so, exactly as the crowd would want,
would expect. They were at a fever pitch. Males fucked males.
Females sucked cocks or pushed men’s heads into their pussies. Even
Jarv, the bastard, was having his little dick attended to by
three
Servos Six
servants.

Even better than that, though, was the
fact that many members of the crowd had begun to surge forwards,
beating against the barriers surrounding the arena. They wanted in
on the action. Were a mass of unfulfilled desires.

Just as he’d planned.

Logan turned his head to
the south seating area, until he found the male he was looking
for.
A’rees.
He
was in the exact position they had agreed on, and they locked eyes
in an instant. Logan nodded his head slowly, giving A’rees his cue.
A moment later and A’rees grinned before seeking out several other
men in the crowd. One by one each male nodded and moved into the
mass of people that were beating against the barriers.

Ready now for what was about to happen
Logan slipped his cock out of Matt, tucked it back into his pants,
then twisted his body so that he could lift the human into his
arms. Matt shifted, the abrupt change in their positions making him
realize that something was happening. Logan could see his
desire-filled eyes narrow but he had no time to explain. Instead he
dropped a quick kiss on his open lips and whispered, “Trust
me.”

The human’s eyes widened, and he
looked around the arena. A moment later and he gasped. The north
barrier, the place where Logan had entered the arena, fell with a
thud that made the ground shake. Hundreds of frantic aliens flooded
out of the gap...heading straight for them.

“
What’s happening?” Matt
asked. “What did you do?”

Despite the seriousness of their
situation Logan couldn’t help but grin. “The only thing I could,”
he said. “Now hold tight, human, things are about to get
interesting.”

He raced across the arena, Matt held
and sheltered in his arms, his long legs eating up the distance
between the centre point and the edge. A mere heartbeat later and
the east barrier fell, allowing hundreds more to join the frantic
throng. Logan paused only to scoop up Matt’s golden robes before
racing for the south barrier, and the tower that straddled the wall
that circled the arena proper. The crowd was thinner there. They
were all heading instead for the gaps in the north and east
barriers rather than staying in their seats. Just as Logan had
hoped.

The gravity ladder that fell from the
very top of the tower was strong enough to take two large males.
Logan twisted so that Matt was stood on his own two feet, and
pointed upwards. “This is our way out.”

“
Away from Jarv?” Matt
asked, and Logan couldn’t help but notice the surprise in the
human’s eyes.

Logan nodded and they both took one
side of the ladder. It was wide enough for them to stand side by
side. “Of course,” he said, before tapping one of the rungs. “Did
you really think I would let him keep you? Now hold
tight.”

The ladder lifted with a ‘whoosh’.
Rung after rung disappeared as Logan and Matt were transported to
the very top of the tower. A’rees was there waiting for them. He
grabbed them by the hands and pulled them onto the roof.

“
They’re not happy,” the
other male said, grinning down at the crowd that now filled the
arena. “They’ll be baying for your blood soon enough…” He paused.
“Or your cock at least.”

“
Then we need to get
moving,” Logan said. He turned to see Matt slipping into the golden
robes, and even though they were not home free yet, Logan could not
help but allow his eyes to soften on his human.

He was so damn beautiful.

“
The land ship will be
here any moment,” A’rees said. “It’s big enough to take both of
you, but you will need to hurry to get to the docking port. Jarv
will know what is happening the moment that ship comes into
view.”

“
And everything is ready
at the port?” Logan asked.

A’rees nodded. “We have you fuelled
and ready to go. All the supplies you requested are on board. I
also laid in a flight plan to get you out of the system as soon as
possible. Just let the ship auto-navigate until you’re away from
here.”

Logan stepped forward and took the
other man’s hand. “I cannot thank you enough.”

A’rees grinned. “Your
house was plenty, Logan. Who knew I’d be on one of the seven hills
of
A’lton
so
quickly? And besides,” he gestured in Matt’s direction. “No male,
human or not, should be forced into the arena. That is not how it
is supposed to work.”

“
How is it supposed to
work?”

It was Matt who spoke and Logan turned
to see his human, arms crossed, face tense.

“
It is meant to be an
honor,” A’rees said softly. “To be claimed by someone like Logan is
the
greatest
honor. We all work to one day become the male who bestows
that honor. It is not about force or persuasion. It never has
been.”

“
And Jarv?” Matt asked.
“What of him?”

“
Oh…we have a surprise for
Jarv,” A’rees said. “We will deal with him—”

The land ship roared into view,
cutting off A’rees next words. It was nothing more than a platform
with a couple of seats in truth, but Logan was painfully glad to
see it. It represented not only escape, but also the route to
Matt.

“
Your ride,” A’rees
said.

The land ship turned in mid-air, the
engines shuddering, and dropped another gravity ladder at Logan’s
feet. This one was automated, the ship’s computer had simply zeroed
in on A’rees coordinates and responded to the instructions it had
been given late last night.

“
Time to go,” Logan said.
He took Matt’s arm and steered him to the ladder. Logan was very
pleased that the human came without question.

“
You’re sure about this,
Logan?” A’rees asked, laying a hand on Logan’s arm and halting him
from tapping the rung. Logan was impatient to get going, but he
owed A’rees plenty and was not about to forget that fact, so halted
and turned to look at him.

“
Of course I’m sure,”
Logan said. “I would not have asked for your help if I wasn’t.
And,” he added. “I asked for that help because I trust you. I did
from the moment we met in the arena. You’re a good man,
A’rees.”

A’rees let out a sigh. “And you too,
Logan, more so than many realize, and I think I should have said
this last night, but I…” He shook his head. “I know it is not my
place.”

“
Speak quickly,” Logan
said, aware that Matt was listening to their words with an
inscrutable look on his face. “And speak truthfully.”

“
You know that if you do
this,” A’rees said, the words leaving him in a rush. “If you take
him, you will be hunted like a human yourself. There is nowhere you
can hide.” He looked at Matt and frowned. “Every male and female
who has seen him today will want him. Tales of his beauty will
spread far and wide. They probably already have. The look on his
face when you made him come…”
