Chapter One

"So," Quartz mused, eyeing the large bodyguard before her from where she lounged on her cushioned chair. Her lips curled up into a cat-like grin, part mocking, part amused. Twirling a finger along a strand of her platinum hair, she looked at the color through the light. She was vain, knew it, didn’t care. said, "You’re the new piece of man-meat Lord Maximus has sent to watch over little ol’ me."

"Yes, Ms. Quartz," Thor answered, his deep voice rumbling in his chest. The sound of it gave her chills all the way to her toes. "He’s very concerned about those letters you’ve been receiving."

"What, those crazy fan letters?" Quartz laughed and gave a dismissing wave of her hand. "Who cares about some crazed fan and his death threats? Do you know how many letters I get a day from fans? How many pictures? How many boxes of jewels and furs and clothes and ... and shoes? Last week I think I turned down at least fifteen marriage proposals. Fifteen! So what if some fan has a fetish about me? I’m not worried and neither should you be."

Thor kept his eyes focused forward, though she knew it was hard for him to keep his eyes off of her. She purposefully wore nothing but the flimsy veil of a white, see-through robe. Nothing was left to the imagination. Her perky breasts were small but perfect with rose-tipped nipples that drove men absolutely crazy. Her arms and legs were slender, gracefully so. She had an ass so tight and round that when she bent over she knew eyes couldn’t help but be on it.

Quartz was a Galaxy Playmate. Men coveted her, and women envied and despised her. She knew other women were jealous and would give anything to be her. She was a dancer, a stripper, a star, and she was beautiful. Her platinum blond hair, light blue eyes, and skin as pale as snow were her trademarks. She had the tan bleached from her features, making her look pure, innocent. Dare she think it? Virginal.

Lord Maximus had given her the name Quartz. He nicknamed all his women after precious metals and gemstones and all the bodyguards were named after mythological Earth Gods, mainly because they all looked like Gods. The names stuck and it got to the point no one even cared to use their real name anymore. It was show business after all and they were living the illusion so many fantasized over.

"Lord Maximus doesn’t seem all that convinced it’s just a crazy fan having a good time," Thor said. "He thinks your life might be in danger."

"Lord Maximus is a sourpuss, always has been." Quartz chuckled, wiggling in her seat. The low tone of his voice was making her hot. "My life isn’t in danger. It’s probably some guy whose marriage proposal I turned down. He’s just trying to scare me into reconsidering."

"You should take more care with yourself, Miss Quartz." Thor still didn’t look at her and she made a small face at him in defiance.

"Well," she purred, "as I see it, it’s your job to take care of me and my... ah... personal needs, Mr. Thor. Mars didn’t do such a hot job of it. I would hate to have you lose your job like he did."

Her last bodyguard, Mars, had called her a spoiled brat just because she’d teased him with her presence and then didn’t put out. He used to spy on her through a peephole in the wall. Okay, Quartz knew he watched and would impishly entertain him, sometimes waiting until he was there to bring men back to her room. She’d then proceeded to fuck them where Mars could see her doing it, angling them just right so he’d see their cock pounding into her, into a place he’d never be allowed. It excited her to know he was there, watching her, wanting her, jerking himself off because she would never allow him to have her.

But in the end he’d become too handsy, so she’d had him fired. Thor, the handsome piece of sweet-ass man chocolate standing before her, was Mars’ replacement. Licking her lips, she let her eyes have the pleasure of looking over his body. She knew he liked her, had seen him watching her when she was onstage. She wasn’t a stranger to the hazy look that entered his eyes when she stripped.

Okay, with all her womanly charms on display through the robe, Quartz knew she looked anything but virginal and, in truth, she was far from it. She liked to fuck, always had. She liked the sound of it, the smell, the look. She liked the thrusting, the sweating, the grunts that a man made only in that glorious moment of release. Just thinking about it made cream build in her pussy, drenching down to her thighs.

Unconsciously, she let her legs fall open as she sat in the chair before him. Thor’s mouth twitched and she knew he watched her from the corner of his dark eyes. He really was a handsome man--solid of build with an incredibly delicious ass she wouldn’t mind biting. Although he wore tight leather pants and a tight black shirt, she couldn’t see the full extent of his package. Thor was rumored to be huge. It made her pant just thinking about it and she definitely wanted to see his monstrous cock for herself.

When Thor refused to break his militant pose, she frowned. Whipping her legs together, she stood up. Purposeful, she moved across his line of vision to a glass shelf on the dressing room wall. Lightly touching a cluster of quartz, she said, "This is my collection of rare Earth pieces. It’s my namesake--quartz. You aren’t to touch them, just as you aren’t to touch me unless I ask you to help me with something. Just like these precious stones, I’m valuable merchandise. And, being such, I get what I want, when and how I want it. Is that clear, Mr. Thor?"

Thor nodded. Quartz frowned. He still wasn’t looking at her directly.

"This one here is a plate of heavily inter-grown quartz crystals from the former India on Earth. It has excellent clarity, but do you see here how they look cloudy?" Quartz paused, waiting for him to glance at the piece she held nestled between her breasts. He did, briefly. She frowned when his gaze didn’t linger on her. She continued anyway, "It’s the mineral in them that does it."

Licking her lips, she paused. Then, reaching to an amethyst stalactite, she stroked the long, bumpy purple shaft in her palm like it was a cock. Thor’s lips tightened and she grinned.

"These others are my favorite pieces. Notice the hard, long length of it from base to rounded tip. The crystals are so cool, but when I touch it like this, they’ll quickly soak in the warmth from my fingers making the stones feel more alive." Quartz stroked the crystal again, wrapping her long fingers over it, before setting it back down. She looked across to Thor, letting her lids fall over her eyes. Picking up the white, sparkly crystal covered in little bumps, she began giving it the same erotic treatment. "This is a Cactus Quartz and it’s by far the best one I have. It’s so textured, so ha-hard."

Quartz made a weak sound as if she was coming by just the feel of it in her hands. She brought it to her chest, letting the crystal rub over her nipples until they stood at erect attention. She gasped in excitement as jolts of pleasure washed over her. Slowly, her heavy gaze on Thor, she continued to make weak, feminine noises. She trailed the crystal down her flat stomach, stopping just above her moist slit. To her satisfaction, she watched as his cock grew hard beneath the tight black leather of his pants. She wasn’t disappointed. The bulge was huge.

Very carefully, she set the piece back on the shelf. Her mission was accomplished for now. Thor was thoroughly aroused and she had the immense amusement of knowing she wouldn’t fuck him to relieve him of it. She liked the idea of big, bad Thor in bed at night masturbating to her image in his head. Oh, what she wouldn’t give to watch it, his strong dark hands stroking over his hard cock.

She’d drilled a hole in the wall to Mars’ room so she could spy on him. She used to call on him right as he was about to seduce a woman to his bed, interrupting his pleasure. Now that Thor took over Mars’ chambers, she’d be able to watch him too.

Lord Maximus had a thing about his treasure trove of women selling their bodies like common space trash. To openly sleep with many men took away the illusion of untouchable. They were allowed to have sex, but they always had to keep it within a relationship or with the high paying clientele. It was always ladies’ choice and no one prostituted if they didn’t want to. Being an all-out whore was one of the only ways to be stripped of Lord Maximus’ prized circle of protection. The little fact didn’t keep Quartz from having her fun though.

Right now, they were on a traveling circuit of shows for about eight months before they’d take a break. Either they would go to the Galaxy Playmates Spaceport where Lord Maximus lived in his mansion or to visit family. Quartz didn’t speak to her family. They didn’t approve of her lifestyle and she didn’t approve of theirs. Five brothers and they were all miners like their father. Their mother, a stout woman, was content being maid and cook to all the men. If she wouldn’t have away when she did, she’d be married to a miner with five rug rats of her own to pick up after.

Nope, Quartz had no desire for children. It’s why she fanatically made sure her immunization shots were up to date. She wouldn’t risk having any little ‘accidents.’ Besides, she was too selfish to be a parent. She knew it and did the responsible thing--she simply didn’t become one.

Looking at Thor, she said, "You may go. I have to get ready for my act."

Thor nodded and, without hesitation, turned to leave. She watched him walk through the door, licking her lips as she watched his ass move. Oh, but he was going to be a fun one to break.

Chapter Two

Quartz loved being on stage, knowing the eyes were on her, knowing the cocks were raised to full, throbbing attention because of her. Let people call her a whore. What did she care? She liked what she did for a living. It was easy money and a grand way to live her life.

Laughing as she made her way from the stage wearing nothing but a couple silver pasties over her nipples and a tight thong that disappeared between her ass cheeks, she stopped to give a flirtatious wink to Jonathan. The young man was one of the crew workers. His bright green eyes followed all the women and Quartz loved teasing him. The lad grinned back at her, a dreamy look in his eyes.

Seeing Thor standing nearby, she gave him a cat-like grin. Lightly, she ran her hand over his large chest as she made her way down the ship’s metal corridor to her dressing room. She grazed a manly nipple with her fingers and felt his heartbeat speed up.

"Thor," she purred. "I’ll be ready for my meet n’ greet here in a second. But, first, why don’t you come and help me pick out something to wear. I don’t feel like making any decisions tonight."

"Yes, Miss Quartz," he rumbled in his dark, low tone. He moved to follow her and Quartz artfully wiggled her hips to draw his attention down to her pert ass. His breath caught and she pretended not to notice.

Once in her dressing room, she turned and motioned Thor to shut the door. Stretching, she posed her arm over her head. "Let’s see. What do you think, Thor? What’s my best color?"

"Light blue," he responded immediately, though his eyes stayed politely off her.

Quartz grinned. Light blue, hm? She could do light blue. But, first, she wanted him to look at her. Maybe even touch her.

"Thor, come help me with these pasties. Sometimes they stick and I find it’s easier to get them off if I have help." His dark gaze flitted to hers and she smiled innocently. "You don’t mind, do you? It’s not like I have anything you haven’t seen before."

"No, Miss Quartz, I don’t mind."

Thor crossed over to her. She thrust her hands up in the air, arching her breasts toward him. As he reached for her, she made a small noise of appreciation.

"Actually," she said in a low, sultry tone, "they come off easier when they’re wet."

Quartz gave a meaningful glance to his mouth. A small smile twitched on the side of his lips. He knew it was a game--she saw in his eyes that he did. But, she also saw that he was more than willing to play it. Leaning over, his full lips parted to surround the tip of her small breast. She kept her hands up, out of the way, as she watched him come for her.

Thor leaned over, keeping his hands at his sides. His mouth was hot as it encircled her covered nipple. Her hips jolted in pure ecstasy, as she watched the play of his lips along her chest. Gently, he sucked at her, grazing his teeth lightly around the pasties’ edge. She cursed the cloth for being in the way of his tongue, keeping her from feeling the rough brush of it against her sensitive flesh. With a tug, he pulled the little bit of material off her breast. Her nipple stood erect, waiting for him to come back to it. Instead, he spit the silver circle onto the ground and moved over to the other side.

Quartz wanted to force his lips all the way onto her. Her thong became soaked with her need. Her chest ached, wanting his touch. Again he pulled the material off with his teeth, only to draw back and spit it to the floor. His eyes were dark pits of desire when he stood before her.

"Thank you, Thor," she purred. Her body ached, but she refused to beg him back to his task. Turning, her hips swayed as she walked to her wardrobe. She ran her fingers over the panel and watched the metal wall slide open.

Quartz’s hands went to her hips as she pretended to look over the wardrobe’s contents. Hooking her fingers into the tiny straps at her hips, she slowly bent over as she pulled off the thong. Her ass thrust back in the air and she knew instinctively that Thor would be watching her. How could he not be?

Coming back up, she placed her hands on her hips and said thoughtfully, "Thor, which do you think? I’m in the mood to make some money tonight."

She shivered as his footfalls approached. Reaching over her shoulder, he grabbed a light blue lingerie set and pulled it against her.

"Wear this," he murmured, his tone hot.

Quartz shivered. The outfit was one of her favorites. A thin pair of lace panties went on first, to hide beneath the waist-cinching corset. The corset was made of satin and lace, pulling tight at her slender midsection, only to leave her hips and breasts bare. Laces crossed over the back, keeping the material pulled tight to her flesh. Garters hung down and she pulled lace topped stocking up over her thighs.

She made a slow seduction of pulling on the clothes, and when she’d finished, she turned to look at Thor. The fire in his eyes made her shiver in anticipation. With one word, she knew he’d throw her up against the wall and fuck her brains out. He didn’t move and she didn’t speak. His control fascinated her.

Her breasts hung out, completely bare. Her nipples were still puckered from his mouth’s torture. With a pull of a pin, she tugged her platinum blond locks loose to spill over her shoulders. Then, crossing over to the mirrored vanity, she ran her finger over the corner edge and watched as her reflection was replaced by hair and makeup style options.

"Leave your hair down," Thor said huskily.

Quartz whipped her hair through the air to send him a sultry look with her light blue eyes. She batted her lashes as she looked him over. His cock was pressed hard against the leather binding of his pants and she grinned. "I intended to. Thanks."

Picking the white-silver makeup look called Winter Storm, she pushed the screen and waited as electrical hands came down to dust her features with it. It only took a few seconds before they were done. Her eyelashes were long and silver, and her eyes were surrounded by a dark blue and silver liner. A pale pink glanced over her cheeks, making her look flushed. A blue-silver lipstick covered her lush lips, making them shimmer like ice crystals.

"Would you mind finding me some shoes to match while I put my nipple rings in?" Quartz asked, crossing over to an antique jewelry box. "I hate to have my tits hanging out unadorned."

Thor went to the closet and brought back some strapped shoes. Bending to his knee, he began slipping them on her feet. She watched as his hands deftly worked the straps of the stiletto heels over her ankles. He moved his fingers over her stocking leg and lingered. When he looked up at her, she had only managed to get one nipple ring in. It was a dark blue stone captured by a delicate silver hoop.

"Allow me, Miss Quartz," Thor rumbled, taking the ring from her fingers. He drew it through her piercing and placed the stone clasp into it. His eyes flitted up to hers, as he said, "I think I should stay in the room tonight during the meet n’ greet. I wouldn’t want to risk a psycho getting out of hand--"

"Are you still going on about those stupid letters?" she laughed in dismissal. "Please!"

"It’s my job to guard your body," Thor said, looking it over.

"Fine, you can stay," Quartz turned and made her seductive way to the bed. "But, you keep quiet. I give my fans their money’s worth when they come in here and I don’t want you ruining it for them. Understand?"

"Yes, Miss Quartz."

"Good boy." Quartz lay down on the soft mattress and posed her limbs. "Now, bring the first man in."

Quartz shivered when she was finally left alone. There was a moment, when Thor’s lips had drawn close to her midsection as he knelt before her to put her shoes on, that she’d almost straddled his face with her hot pussy and made him drink her to completion. The way his mouth had felt on her nipple, she’d just bet he knew how to tongue fuck.

She grew hot just thinking about him watching her tonight, unable to move or say anything about what she did. Oh, he wanted to keep an eye on her body, did he? Well, she’d definitely give him something to keep an eye on.

Chapter Three

The first group of men that came to meet her consisted of large, red skinned creatures with black horns protruding up from their skulls. She forgot what their species was called, but they were furious-looking demons who merely stared at her with black eyes as she moved restlessly on the bed. The leather loincloths they wore over their strong stomachs gave much evidence that everything about them was large.

One demon in particular caught her eye. His red flesh was smooth and a little toner than the others. By the respect he was shown, she bet that he was the leader of the group. A jolt of curious desire shot through her and the man smiled in recognition of it.

Next was a scaly green couple who barely came to her knees. She’d seen their kind before. They came to her shows to inspire their marriages. They asked polite questions and really seemed pleased when she treated them as equals.

After that, several men came and went in an endless progression--a hairy beast that looked more monkey than man, a bright blue creature with wings, and a long line of human males. Quartz was polite to them all, letting them look, sometimes touching herself for them, signing autographs. They paid a lot of space credits just to spend a few minutes in her company and she didn’t want to let them down.

Thor stayed quietly in the background. She tried to ignore him, but the more she tried, the more she thought about his dark hands wrapped around various parts of her body. Her nipples ached for his lips. Her pussy was wet with desire. Her mouth wanted to wrap around his large cock and suck him like a chocolate lollipop.

"How much?"

Quartz blinked, turning her attention back to the human before her. She smiled a slow smile and came up to her knees on the bed. Her gaze flitted back to Thor. His eyes bore into hers and she shivered. Looking back to the man, she found him to be of average height and build. He wasn’t breathtakingly handsome, nor was he butt-ugly. He had a nice smile, straight teeth. His dark brown hair was slicked back away from his clean-shaven face.

"How much for what, baby?" Quartz purred.

"I want to fuck you," the man said boldly.

"Of course you do, baby," she answered, running a fingertip over her nipple so it budded tight. "But, I’m afraid that isn’t allowed."

The man swallowed. "Let me watch you get off. I have money. I can pay."

"Mmmm," Quartz hummed. "Five hundred space credits upfront."

The man lifted out his card. Quartz motioned to Thor. The man handed it to him, completely unconcerned that he stood behind him. When the money was paid into her account, Thor nodded to her and handed the card back.

Quartz’s light blue gaze met his dark possessive one as he took his post against the back wall. A slow smile curled her lips. She usually didn’t let the paying client stroke it, but tonight she decided to make an exception. Thor would be forced to watch them get off without any way of relieving his own growing pressure. He shifted uncomfortably on his feet.

"Here’s the rule, baby," she said to the man. "You can’t leave that chair, but you can do whatever you want in it."

The man grinned. He reached down and freed his cock from his pants and nodded his head. Quartz gave the command for music and a soft song started in the background. She touched her breasts and rubbed them in her palms.

The human groaned in pleasure and stroked his thick length. Quartz closed her eyes and moved her hips in tantalizing circles. She glided her fingers over the silk of her corset, down to the part of her thighs. Pulling the underwear from her hips, she tossed them at Thor. He caught them in one hand and she shivered to watch him put the silk to his nose, giving her a look that was full of intent.

Her body became wet just watching the intimate action. Laying on her back, her wet pussy facing the masturbating client, she storked her wet slit for him.

"You like this, baby?" she asked him. A loud groan was her only answer.

"Get on your hands and knees," the human ordered.

"Mmmm," Quartz moaned. She obeyed, thrusting her tight ass at him as she delved her fingers inside her wet passage. As she stroked her own clit, she forgot all about the human paying for the show and thought of Thor watching her--his cock hard and ready and him unable to do anything about it.

Suddenly, she wanted him on the bed with her. She wanted the taste of him in her mouth, the feel of him in her wet pussy. An intense pleasure built inside her. She delved a finger inside her. The human groaned and she looked between her legs to see him stroking his cock in a faster rhythm. Suddenly, she wanted them both on the bed, fucking her at once.

The human growled and shot to his feet. He reached out for her, ready to grab her ass and fuck her hard. Quartz gasped. Thor sprung into action and seized the man about the back of his neck.

"You know the rules, buddy," he said, his voice hard. "You left the chair, now you leave."

Quartz spun around, sitting down on the bed as Thor tossed the protesting man out of the room, his cock still hanging out. She knew he’d just been worked up. When Thor returned, he was dusting his hands.

"Feel free to finish," he grumbled.

Quartz couldn’t help but grin. "I would darling, but you’re not paying me. Was that the last of them?"

Thor nodded. Her pussy still throbbed, needing completion. Seeing his stern, hot face, she couldn’t help herself, as she said, "Great. Now, go find me Red."

"Red?"

"You know, that large red fellow who was here in the first group. I handed him my card. He’ll be waiting for me by the secret entrance and I really need a cock bad right now." Quartz smiled.

Thor’s face tightened. Then, a slow grin came to his lips and he nodded. "Very well, Miss Quartz."

Chapter Four

Quartz heart was pounding with anticipation when the knock sounded in her room. The large red creature entered at her summons and she smiled at him. To her disappointment, Thor was not with him. Too bad. She really felt like giving him more of a show.

"You wished to see me?" the sexy creature said in a voice that gave her chills.

"You have been luckily chosen for the grand prize," Quartz answered.

"Oh, yeah? And what’s the grand prize?" The man stepped forward and she saw his leather loincloth rise and twitch.

"A night with me free of charge," Quartz answered. She stood up from the bed and walked toward him.

The man towered over her and she grew wet just thinking of his immense size. Lifting her hands, she touched the base of his large black horn. His eyes rolled beneath his lids and in a shaky voice, he asked, "I get to fuck you?"

"Oh, yes, baby," she purred. "I insist that you fuck me. Cause right now I’m so wet and so hot that if you don’t, I think I might explode into a million pieces. So, what do you say? You interested in saving this girl’s life?"

The man nodded, eager.

"What kind of beast are you anyway, Red?" she inquired.

"Belvon."

"Mmmm," Quartz purred. She ran her hands over the side of his face, over his chest, to the top edge of his loincloth. "And just what sort of surprise do you have here for me, Red?"

"Open it and find out," his low tone growled in invitation.

Quartz pulled the loincloth from his hips and gasped. The large turgid red cock instantly sprung free and vibrated naturally. She gasped. Her loins tightened in anticipation. This is why she’d never be a one-man woman. She loved variety and really liked sampling what the universe had to offer. Looking to the wall where Thor had been all night, she really wished he were there. It would complete her fantasy to have him watching her. A surge of jealousy swept over her to think of him with someone else.

Red’s hands lifted to cover her breasts and he began rolling the pierced nipples between his thumbs and forefingers. Quartz gasped in pleasure, letting her head roll back on her shoulders as she grabbed hold of his arms. Taking his hands to her hips, he pulled her body next to his giant one. The vibrating cock wedged next to her soaked sex, hot and so very alive. She shivered. The sensation was just like one of her toys, only warm with life, and so much better than a finger or mouth. She began stroking his chest.

"The horns," he groaned, leaning over to suck at her neck. "Grab the horns."

Quartz did and the vibrating between them grew, as did the cock’s size. She gasped, arching to rub against him. Red moaned.

"I’ve wanted to fuck you since I first saw your picture," Red admitted. "Humans are always so soft."

"And you’re so hard," she purred. Quartz was too far gone. She needed him now and tired to pull him back to the bed with her. His massive body resisted.

"I will show you how my kind likes it," he said. Her grip tightened on his horns, as his hands lifted her up into the air. He spread the cheeks of her ass, making her nearly melt with desire. Cream dripped from her hot passage.

With amazing balance, he held her up before him and leaned back so his back was nearly parallel to the floor. She gripped the horns in her small palms. He lifted her up away from his body until his cockhead was aligned to her wet slit. The vibrating tip probed her, making her scream with anticipation.

She closed her eyes, thinking of Thor standing in the corner watching her fuck the man beneath her. It made her hot, picturing his dark possessive gaze. With a thrust, Red pulled her down on his large vibrating cock. It impaled her, stretching her wide. The vibrating hit hard upon her womb, sending shockwaves of pleasure throughout her. Her spine tingled, shooting the beginning tremors of an orgasm through her blood.

"Ride me, Quartz, as you would a ceffyl," Red demanded beneath her. His hands fell back to the floor to keep his strange balance.

Quartz obeyed, thrusting her body on the vibrating shaft as she plunged it in and out of her moist passage. She gripped his horns, pulling her body back and forth. It was one of the most pleasurable feelings she’d ever experienced and she was glad she’d been curious enough to try him. The vibrations worked over her, massaging her clit and the sensitive cleft of her ass.

Red made strange noises beneath her. The intensity of the moment grew as she allowed her body to swallow him whole--fast and hard and faster still. The horns beneath her palm heated, sending pleasure into her arms. Red groaned, his cock vibrating harder still as he neared his climax. It was too much. Quartz screamed as an intense gratification ripped through her core. She came hard on him. Her clenching body milked him of his release and the vibrating slowed.

Letting go of his horns, she climbed off his body and stumbled back to sit on the bed. She could barely walk after a penetrating experience like that. It’d been fun, but she suddenly felt bruised and beaten on the inside. She couldn’t take a cock like that every night. He’d end up ripping her in half.

Red pushed himself up and grinned at her. He looked at her fragile body on the bed. Licking his lips, his black eyes gleamed, as he asked, "Do you require anything else of me?"

Quartz shook her head. "No, Red, that will do just fine."

He leaned over to pick up his loincloth. She watched his tight muscles moving under the red skin of his delicious ass and giggled. Giving her a quick wink, Red left her alone in her room.

Quartz’s smile faded, as she looked over to the empty corner. It really would have been more fun to have Thor there watching her.

* * * *

Thor stepped out of Quartz’s dressing room, completely sated. Glancing down at his red colored hands, he grinned. Then, looking both ways down the corridor, he made sure the coast was clear before he shifted back to his ‘normal’ form. Only Lord Maximus knew his secret and his old friend would never tell. They had known each other too long.

Thor was a complete shifter, a kind sought by many governments because they could take on any form. It only took one touch for his body to soak in the DNA from a creature and take on its form. That’s what he’d done with the Belvon. He shook his hand right before sending the polite creature away. That had been enough to give Quartz what she wanted.

Grinning, he started to whistle. It wasn’t the first time he’d been with Quartz and it wouldn’t be the last. In fact, technically, she’d only been exclusively with him for over the last year--ever since he first saw her. He knew how she liked variety and how much she liked to play games. Let her play and have her fun. In the end, she’d belong only to him.

Chapter Five

By the time the last man came through the meet ’n’ greet session, Quartz was flushed with arousal. It had been nearly a week since her encounter with Red. She’d been sore the next morning, but she didn’t regret a moment of the experience--except that Thor hadn’t been there with her. She didn’t know why, but she thought about her new bodyguard a lot. It gave her pleasure to taunt and tease him.

Quartz had picked out a pair of skimpy silver underwear for the evening, combining it with a rhinestone halter-top. The top was no more than a group of necklaces, each a little longer than the one before it, of crystals strung to hang over her chest in very thin rows. They dipped all the way to her navel and left nothing to the imagination. Thor’s eyes had lit with pleasure when he saw her in it and just seeing his look made her tremble in womanly excitement.

Unfortunately for her, there wasn’t a great pick of interesting specimens to sleep with that night. Most of them had been shy, nearly stuttering to get two words out to her. The others had been too arrogant, too short, too tall, too something or other. The point was they didn’t interest her. Quartz grimaced in displeasure. She was horny and wanted some action--NOW!

Eyeing Thor, she slowly crawled off the bed. His brow arched on his manly face as she approached him. Wrapping a long finger around one of the rhinestone strands, she cocked her head to the side and affected a pout.

"Miss Quartz?" Thor asked, his rich voice drumming through her.

"Mr. Thor," she purred in return. "I was wondering if you could help me with something."

Thor stood, unmoving. His eyes bore into hers.

"Please," she begged prettily, forming a pout.

Slowly, he nodded.

"Oh, good."

Quartz knew she planned on tormenting him, and she had done that aplenty, but now she wanted him. It might be breaking her own rule, but she was going to fuck her bodyguard dry. His chocolate skin, his large muscles, his penetrating stare--he’d been haunting her dreams. Wanting to discover if his cock tasted as good as she imagined it would, she slowly reached her hands out to his waist.

"You see, Thor," Quartz said, affecting a pretty pout. "All the men tonight were a bit of a disappointment and I couldn’t find a single one whose cock was worthy of me. But you, Thor, you are worthy of me, aren’t you? I’ve seen you watching me."

Quartz walked around him. She skimmed her hands over his tight ass and squeezed. It was deliciously firm beneath the leather of his pants.

"You like watching me, don’t you? Like last night when I left the door open for you. I saw you standing there, watching over me. Did you like to watch me fuck myself? Did you want to join me on the bed? Did you want it to be your cock pounding inside of me instead of that little toy?"

Thor’s breathing deepened and he didn’t speak.

"Were you jealous of it? Are you jealous of it still?" Quartz purred in question. "I’ve seen the way you look at me, Thor. You want me, don’t you? It’s why I told Lord Maximus that I wanted you to be my new guard. I knew you liked to watch me."

Quartz made her way around his side, coming full circle to stand before him. Reaching for the large bulge in his pants, she squeezed the hard mass in her palm. A light moan escaped her lips.

She moved her fingers to his waistband, slowly unzipping his fly. To her great pleasure, she found he wore no underwear. His large, dark cock sprung forth from his pants. She shivered.

"Mmmm, big boy," she moaned. Sinking down to her knees, she looked up at him and licked her lips.

Thor’s hands tightened into fists at his sides. Taking his hips in hands, she drew her mouth forward to the large mushroomed head of his cock and sucked gently, wiggling her tongue along the indented end. Thor grunted. She worked her fingers into his pants, finding his rock hard ass. Her nails dug into him as she licked at the taste of him. He was delicious and she couldn’t stop herself from sucking him deep into her mouth.

Her tongue rolled over his heavy length, massaging the hard shaft. She let her teeth nibble the end before licking the imaginary bites clean. Her breasts tingled as she thrust her mouth over his length, taking him to the back of her throat. He was too big to take all the way, but she didn’t care. She grabbed tight to his ass and worked what she could fit back and forth in her hot, wet mouth.

Her pussy became drenched with need, but she wanted his taste to explode between her lips. She moaned, sucking harder. Thor’s breaths came in hard pants. His finger delved forward into her platinum hair, as he dug his cock in and out of her mouth, working her lips over him in an increasingly frantic rhythm.

"Ah, yeah, suck it baby," he said. "You like this, don’t you? You like my big cock in your mouth, don’t you, you bad girl."

Quartz moaned. She did like it. Suddenly, Thor tensed. His seed exploded in a hot jet from the tip and she swallowed him up. She pulled off him and stumbled to her feet. Her panties were uncomfortably tight as she took a step back. Her nipples puckered hard, reaching for him.

"Take off your panties," Thor demanded, taking control of the situation. He kicked off his boots and pushed the leather from his hips. Then, tossing his shirt aside, he stood completely and gloriously naked before her. He grabbed his cock and stroked it back to its full, gladiator length. Her eyes devoured his hand as it moved over his skin, aroused by the erotic sight of it. "I know what you want, Miss Quartz."

Quartz pulled her panties from her hips and began reaching for the halter’s clasp. Thor shook his head.

"No, leave it on." His dark eyes dipped over her. "I like it."

Quartz hands dropped to her side. She stood, breathlessly waiting for him to come to her.

"Get on your hands and knees," he said. When she obeyed by getting onto the bed, facing away from him so he could see her ass, he ordered, "Spread your legs. Let me see how hot you are for me. Let me see how wet your pussy is."

On all fours, she parted her thighs. Thor came up behind her and a new wave of moisture came gushing from her body. He licked his lips and grabbed a chair. Sitting behind her, he took her firmly in his hands and pulled her wet clit to his mouth.

Quartz moaned as he lapped his tongue along her soaked pussy. His teeth nibbled. His lips drank. His hot breath teased. She became mindless, bucking her hips back into his face, trying to get him to bring her to completion. When she was sure she could take no more, he stood up behind her and guided his hard cock to her slit and began rubbing it along her opening.

"You’re a bad girl, aren’t you Miss Quartz?" he murmured, withholding from her.

"Yes," she said, breathless. If he didn’t take her soon, she was sure she’d die.

"You need to be punished, don’t you Miss Quartz?"

"Yes, Thor, yes!"

Thor spanked her hard on the ass and she spasmed in delight.

"Yes, Thor, yes! Oh, fuck me, baby, fuck me! Please, fuck me, baby."

He spanked her again and she nearly came from the pleasure-pain of it. His cock still lingered near her wet slit.

"Beg me for it," Thor commanded.

"Please, Thor, I beg you, let me have your giant cock." Quartz tried to force him inside her. It became too much for both of them. With a hard thrust, he buried himself deep. Quartz cried out, liking the feel of him stretching her wide.

Thor’s hips pumped as he drew her back and forth along his shaft. He drove her body hard, riding her fast and deep. Tension pooled in her hips, driving her to the brink. The sound of crashing rhinestones tinkled around them, as they bounced over her breasts. The music of it was joined by the sounds of their primal grunts.

"Ah, yes, baby, fuck me. Harder, Thor, harder! Oh, yes, go deep!"

Suddenly, Thor tensed, jerking his hot seed inside her womb. Quartz screamed in delight, the muscles of her sex clenching and unclenching around him as her body milked him dry. As the tremors subsided, he moved her around lightly on his lessened erection before letting her go. Quartz fell weakly on the bed.

"You’re mine now," Thor stated, matter-of-factly.

Quartz gasped and turned over on her back. She lay before him, unashamed. "I’m sorry, Thor, but I belong to no man."

His face tightened.

"Hey, don’t take it personally," Quartz purred, almost teasingly. Her body sung now that she was sated. "I’ll never be satisfied with one man. I like variety."

"What if I told you I could give you variety," Thor answered, taking an aggressive step forward.

"Mmmm, I wouldn’t believe you." Quartz stood, lightly tracing her nipple with her index finger. It puckered and a small wave of desire washed over her anew. Her eyes trailed down to Thor’s semi-hard cock and grinned. "Besides, I wouldn’t want just the kind of variety you could offer."

"Are you willing to give me a chance to prove I can make you happy?" Thor asked.

"No, baby," Quartz answered. "You see, I have a thing for all types of humanoids. And, well, you’re only human."

Chapter Six

Quartz was bored. She almost regretted her harsh words to Thor, but it had been the truth. She would never be happy with just one type of man. She did need variety and lying to herself and to him wouldn’t help a damned thing.

Thor was barely speaking to her. She really wished he would get over it so they could go back to having fun. Quartz sighed, knowing she should’ve known better. She let him have a taste and now he was pouting.

Thor stared directly at her tonight as she posed leisurely on the bed. His eyes roamed possessively over her tight leather corset and crotchless black panties. He stayed quietly in the back during the meet n’ greet sessions. Quartz loved having him there, protecting her, watching over her, watching her. Looking at the broad shouldered creature before her, she shot him a smile. Her body heated with excitement. He was a handsome man with thick black hair against his pale skin. His green eyes were as bright as Earth grass on a summer’s day.

Seeing her eyes on his mouth, the pale man parted his lips and slipped out his very long, blue tongue and wiggled it lightly. A spasm of excitement coursed through her. She glanced at Thor. He was frowning at her. Quartz sighed, sorry for it. She really liked having him around, but she couldn’t have a jealous lover or bodyguard. It hadn’t worked with Mars--only she never slept with Mars--and it wasn’t working with Thor either. She really hated to do it, but she might just have to put in for a new bodyguard.

If she was in the market for a relationship, Thor would have been her first pick. She’d be lying if she said she didn’t feel anything for him. But, if she allowed herself to love him, she’d only end up disappointing them both. Her eye would wander with curiosity and she’d cheat on him.

"Oooh," Quartz moaned. She eyed the pale man and smiled. "I bet with a tongue like that, you have some real talent, don’t you?"

The man grinned. It was a lecherous smile and Quartz shivered to see it. She licked her lips, her thighs parting as moisture gathered.

"Time’s up," Thor announced, walking to the door.

Quartz grimaced at him before turning back to the man. She reached out and slipped her card with instructions in it to him. He nodded, looking deep into her eyes as he took the card and left. If Thor saw anything, he didn’t let it show.

"That was the last one," Thor said when they were alone.

"Then why’d you run him off?" Quartz pouted.

"His time was up."

"Thor, we really need to talk about your position here," Quartz began. "I like having you protect me, but if you’re going to be jealous over my lovers then I’ll be forced to find a replacement that won’t be."

"Yes, Miss Quartz," he stated.

She frowned, unsure as to what he meant. "You know, Thor, I like you. I really do. And, if I was a one-man woman, I’d be with you in an instant. But, I know myself and my needs. I enjoy variety. If you want to be with me, you can be part of the variety."

Thor stood still, his handsome dark eyes penetrating her. She shivered, growing moist just to have him watching her.

"I like you watching me. If you like, you can stay tonight and watch me." Quartz moved forward to touch his broad chest. "Would you like to stay? Maybe, if you’re a good boy, I’ll even let you join us. Hm?"

"No thanks," he answered. "I don’t share my toys with other children."

Quartz gasped.

Thor pulled away and moved toward the door. "I’ll go bring your choice in, Miss Quartz."

Quartz frowned in disappointment, wondering at the hollow feeling in her chest. Walking over to the bed, she adjusted her black leather corset over her breasts and lay down on the mattress. Spreading her thighs, she waited for the tongue bathing experience of a lifetime. It didn’t take long for a soft knock to sound on the door. She grinned, sitting up.

Seeing the pale man enter, she felt a moment’s regret that Thor wasn’t with him. She really wished he would have changed his mind and joined them. Quartz wouldn’t mind being with him if he’d just learn to share her.

"I take it you want a demonstration of my talents," the man said in a low tone as he approached the bed. Quartz lifted her hands over her head and wiggled her hips. "And I would like to see if you taste as good as you look."

"Mmm," Quartz moaned. Her thighs parted. She didn’t move to touch him as he knelt before her. He hovered his hand over her legs, barely touching her. Slowly, his long tongue unwrapped from his mouth. She shivered, watching the erotic dip of it as he licked her sensitive center. A strange wave of euphoria entered her at the touch and he began tickling her clit in light strokes.

Another knock sounded on the door. The tongue was retracted as the pale man turned. Quartz sat up.

"Thor," she said in excitement. A soft smile found her lips as she waited for him to enter. The door slowly opened. To her horror, a blond Viking-like giant came in.

"I should have known you’d be fucking somebody, you slut!"

"Mars?" Quartz gasped, sitting up on the bed. Her heart beat in fear. She looked at the pale man. He glanced at her and then back to Mars. Her old bodyguard didn’t look right. His eyes were bloodshot and crazed, and he shook fiercely. Mars had always had a bit of a temper, but now it looked like he’d lost the will to control it. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought you’d come around, but you just can’t seem to learn your place, can you, bitch?" Mars asked.

"My place?" she gasped. "What are you talking about?"

"I had to sit and watch you suck every dick that passed your lips but mine. Well, baby, it’s my turn." Mars’ hands went to his pants.

"Mars, I-I don’t want you," she said, terrified. Her heart cried out for Thor. Where was he? Oh, why did she have to piss him off? This pale creature next to her would hardly be a match for Mars’ genetically enhanced muscles.

"I tried to warn you, Quartz. I brought you those letters, hoping they’d stop you from your ways. Hoping you’d see you wanted to be with me." Mars stripped off his pants and began gripping his erection in his beefy paw. "But instead, you had me fired!"

"You?" she gasped, backing up on the bed. "You sent me those death threats?"

"I did it so you would see the light. You need me, Quartz! And you owe me!" Mars came forward, completely disregarding the other man in the room. "Now, come over here like a good girl...."

Mars held his cock out for her to suck. She shook her head in denial. It was a mistake. Mars growled in anger and lifted his hand to smack her. Quartz cringed. A loud smack sounded and she froze. She didn’t feel anything. Slowly, she opened her eyes to see Thor standing where the pale man had been.

"Thor?" she gasped weakly.

"Mars," Thor stated. "I don’t think the lady’s interested in your offer."

Mars swung for Thor. Thor ducked and kicked him in the gut, knocking him to the ground. Then, taking him by his long blond hair, he dragged the fallen man to the door and disappeared. Quartz gaped after them, stunned.

Her heart beat wildly in her chest. How did Thor get in her room so fast? What had happened to the pale man? Mars? Mars was her stalker? She shook her head. Had she been so cruel to the man by teasing him?

"No," she loudly stated, wrapping her arms around her legs. She’d told Mars from the beginning she didn’t want him. She didn’t care that he watched her with other men, but she’d never felt a particular attraction to him. He was just too aggressive in nature. Shaking her head, she fell down on the bed. None of this made any sense.

Chapter Seven

The door to her dressing room opened and Quartz shot to her feet. Thor quietly shut the door behind him and paused before turning to look at her. A sheepish grin covered his features as he looked her over.

"What’s going on? I don’t understand," Quartz began. "How did you get here so fast?"

Thor came forward and lifted his hand to touch her cheek. "You haven’t figured it out yet?"

"Figured what out? What did you do to Mars?" Quartz shook, thoroughly confused.

"He won’t be bothering you again. I sent him in a one-way transport to Lord Maximus’ starbase. He’ll be taken care of." Thor reached for her again.

Quartz darted forward and stretched her arms around his thick neck. "Thank you. You were right. There was someone to be worried about. I’m sorry for not taking it more seriously."

"Hey, are you crying?" Thor asked, trying to draw her back.

Quartz sniffed back her tears. "I’m sorry for teasing you and playing games like I did. I didn’t know I’d drive a man that crazy."

"Mars was already a bit crazy," he chuckled. His strong hands stroked over her back, pulling her closer. "Besides, I like your games."

Quartz blinked and pulled back to look up at him. "You do?"

"Very much. It’s what attracted me to you in the first place. You’re bold, adventurous. You know what you want in a lover and aren’t afraid to try new things. But, most of all, you’re honest about it. You’re honest with yourself and you’re honest with me. There’s a lot to be said for that. You never once tired to make me believe I was your one and only."

"Thor, I...."

"Shhh," he hushed. "I know. You have cravings, needs."

"Yes," she said. "I do have feelings for you, but I know that my eye would wander and I’d want to try new things. I couldn’t hurt you like that."

"I know, baby, I know." Thor stroked her platinum hair. "Tell me, this last year have you been happy in your choice of lovers?"

Quartz blinked in surprise. "Well, yes, mostly. There was one that was a little too hairless, but... Why do you ask?"

"What if I told you, you’ve only had one lover this last year?" Thor roamed his hands over her body.

"I’d laugh in your face. I’ve had several lovers in the last year." Quartz chuckled.

Thor’s fingers found her ass and squeezed it hard. He began backing her up toward the bed. "If I could give you as many lovers as you wanted, would you consider being with only me?"

"You mean, exclusively yours, but you would share me?" Quartz asked.

"Not exactly. I told you, I don’t share my toys," Thor began slowly stripping from his clothes.

"Then...?"

"Shhh, just watch." When he stood gloriously naked, his body shifted. First, he shifted to the pale creature whose tongue had been doing wonderful things to her clit before Mars came in. Then, he became the red beast with black horns that nearly ripped her in half with his huge cock. She shivered to see the red vibrating appendage again. The shifts became faster as Thor turned from one creature to the next. Quartz gasped, recognizing almost every lover she’d taken recently.

"Thor?" she questioned in awe. Seeing so many naked men turned her on and she absently stroked her wet slit in approval.

"I’ve loved you since the first moment I saw you, Quartz, but I knew you wanted more that just one man in your bed. So I spent this last year giving you what you desired, just to prove that one man could satisfy you--so long as he was the right man. I’m a complete shifter. So long as my hand touches a person, I can become them. I can be anything or anyone you want me to be. The way I figure it. You just give me a signal when you see something you like and I’ll take care of the rest."

Quartz grinned. "And you don’t mind it? Being other creatures?"

"Actually, I enjoy it. I like watching you find your pleasure, especially at the end of my cock." Thor stroked himself. "I think it’s damned sexy to watch you take your pleasure from my many forms."

"And is this one your true form?" she asked, looking over his dark flesh.

"It’s the one I have picked," he answered. "I wasn’t born with a true form, such as humans are. I’ve always been many."

"This is all a little overwhelming, Thor," she said.

"I wanted to tell you earlier, but you weren’t ready to listen."

"I know. I was being stubborn." Quartz sighed. "But, I didn’t want to admit that I could have feelings for one man. I was afraid I’d ruin it."

"You feel for me?"

"I love you," she said. "I guess you’re right. I just needed the right man."

Thor grinned. His eyes darkened with intent. "So, where were we? That’s right. Just about here."

His form shifted and the long blue tongue unrolled from his lips. Quartz wiggled in excitement, feeling completely protected. She drew a strange comfort from knowing Thor was really with her. Maybe she could be with just one man--if that man was Thor.

He began licking her slit, rubbing the odd texture over and into her moist body, fucking her with the tongue in hard strokes. His thumb circled her clit, causing waves of euphoric pleasure to ride up inside her. Moisture gathered at his administrations and she gasped in delight.

"Thor, baby," she purred, glancing down at the smaller cock the pale creature had. She wanted him inside her now.

He grinned in response.

"This guy’s great and all, but you got someone a little bigger?" She grinned and crawled up onto all fours, pushing him down on the bed. His body shifted to a darker tan, beautiful with rippling muscles and tight ridges of hard flesh. She grinned as she took the larger cock in her hands. It had little ridges down the side, just made for pure pleasure. "Mmm, this will do just fine."

Her lips closed around him, sucking eagerly until his erection grew in her mouth. She rolled her tongue over the hard ridges, chuckling when he shivered in approval.

"Damn, woman!" he yelled. "You’re enough to drive any man insane."

Quartz grinned as he bucked up, trying to shove himself deeper into her mouth. Removing her lips, she climbed on top of him, straddling him with her thighs. Her soaked pussy rubbed along his shaft through the opening of her crotchless panties. Wave after wave of anticipation washed over her. "Is this what you want, baby? You want to feel my hot, wet pussy?"

"Mmm, yeah, give it to me," he said, watching her with his dark eyes.

Quartz rubbed him along her opening, getting his tip moist with the juices of her body. He groaned. "You like that, don’t you, baby?"

"Yes," he gasped before demanding, "More. Give me more! Fuck me. Fuck me hard."

"Whatever you say, Thor," she purred, dipping slowly onto him.

Thor couldn’t wait. Grabbing her hips, he pulled her hard onto his swollen shaft. Quartz screamed, throwing back her head as she rode him. The textured feel of his cock teased and tickled her insides, making the building pleasure all the more intense.

Thor’s hands rose to her nipples, plucking them free from their leather restraint of the corset. His hot mouth shot forward, sucking them hard between his lips. Strong fingers gripped her ass, spreading her sensitive cheeks apart so he could grind deeper into her. Quartz yelled in pleasure, wanting to feel him everywhere at once.

"Ahh," she cried out. "Oh, baby, yes! Fuck me. You’re so... yes! Thor!"

"That’s it," he coaxed, pulling her hips to control the frantic rhythm. "Just like that."

Quartz trembled on top of him. He didn’t let her stop as he forced her to ride out her orgasm. As her sex spasmed and clenched him, he grunted in approval, coming hard into her body. Only when the last of her tremors subsided, did he let her stop.

Her body collapsed weakly against his shoulder. To her amazement, he shifted beneath her to the Thor she knew, the cock changing shape inside her body. She grinned, leaning up to look deep into his eyes.

"You’re sure this is what you want?" she asked him, almost afraid. She’d given her body to men before, but never her heart. A wave of insecurity passed over her.

"I’m sure," he answered, stroking the pale skin of her ass. "I already told you. I’ve loved you from the moment I first saw you."

"I love you, too," she purred, wiggling in excitement. It was perfect. Everything was just perfect. She had it all--love, a man who could give her everything she’d ever want and more. Thor really was more man than she’d ever dreamed possible. Seeing the gleam of oncoming arousal in his dark eyes, she grinned. "You just better be careful there, bodyguard. A girl really could get use to this."

The End

A Sneak Peak at

GALAXY PLAYMATES:

DIAMOND

By

Michelle M Pillow

The Galaxy Playmate tour was over. Diamond couldn’t have been more relieved. She was exhausted. The continuous performing, the smell of sex and expensive perfume, the constant state of permanent arousal--after several months, all of it started to wear a girl down.

Diamond loved her job as a performance artist, but enough was enough. The last month had been particularly hard. She’d broken it off with her boyfriend of one year only to find herself without a suitable lover. Pleasure toys were fine, but sometimes a girl just needed some live action. There was nothing like the feel of a hard cock, hot and pulsing with life.

Jose, her ex-boyfriend, had been talented in the bedroom department. That man could do things that other men wouldn’t even think of. Oh, and was he adventurous! Diamond didn’t love him, but that wasn’t why she was with him. She had, however, demanded a little respect from him.

When he’d wanted to bring another playmate into bed with them, Diamond had been fine with that. Ruby was fiery redhead and damned sexy to boot. But, when she found him pounding his thick cock in Ruby’s tight ass when she wasn’t around, she had to get rid of him. A girl had to have her standards and Jose was no longer meeting hers.

She’d been clear with him since the beginning. No outside relationships. It was bad for her career to have a lover who sought out other women without her. It made her look direly inadequate, and Diamond knew she was anything but.

As for her career, she couldn’t have been happier in her choices. She had everything a girl could ever want--prestige, money, the power to make men beg, jewels, clothes, respect. She stayed in the nicest hotels, had the nicest things, and rode in the best spacecrafts. Like the luxury ship she was on now. It was taking her home to see her mother and brother. They knew what she did for a living and accepted it, even if they didn’t understand completely. After all, when her father died, it was her career that saved the family farm--well, the family fueling station in this case.

Diamond knew she was beautiful, with her honey blonde hair and her big green eyes that men just could not say no to. She was one of the most popular women amongst humanoid cultures. Men paid lots and lots of space credits just to get a closer look at her tight body. They had her holographic image posted on bed frames and stuffed into their work lockers. They traded her on cards, dreamt about her at night, fantasized about her during the day, jerked off to her image. They wrote her love letters, sent her jewels, begged for her hand in marriage. Many would give their life just to touch her--or to watch her touch herself.

Lord Maximus, owner of the Galaxy Playmates Empire, was a good man who treated them well. He protected them, nurtured them, and even cared for them like they were his daughters--though he hardly looked an age to be a father figure. He was the one who’d given Diamond her new name when she first started her career as a dancer, stripper, and intergalactic superstar.

Lord Maximus nicknamed all his women after precious metals and gemstones and all the bouncers who looked after them were named after mythological Earth Gods. The names just stuck and it got to the point no one even cared to use their real name anymore. It was just show business after all.

Lord Maximus had a thing about his treasure trove of women selling their bodies like common space trash. To openly sleep with many men took away the illusion of untouchable. They could have sex with certain, screened, high paying clientele. It was always ladies choice and no one prostituted if they didn’t want to. Being an all-out-whore was one of the only ways to be stripped of Lord Maximus’ prized circle of protection. They were allowed to have sex, but always had to keep it within a relationship. That’s where Jose had gone wrong by sleeping with Ruby. He was dumber than a bag of bricks, but, oh man, she missed his large cock more than anything.

Leaving her private room on the space transport, she decided to get a look at some of the other passengers. She was on the last leg of her journey home and she highly doubted anyone else on the ship would be staying at the fueling dock on Werten. If she wanted to get some action, it’d have to be before they landed.

It wasn’t like she could have an affair while sleeping in her girlhood bed. It’s not like she wanted to sleep with anyone from the families living on Werten. She’d grow up around them and they weren’t the most pleasant of memories. Her brother, Tommy’s best friend had been a particular pain to her growing up. Could she help it she smelled like spacecraft fuel from working all day and had a slight overbite? There was no reason he had to call her Buck Tooth Jane for five years.

Well, she had news for Mr. Liam Ferguson. The bucked teeth were fixed and she was a drop dead in your tracks knockout. He probably still worked at the restaurant next to the fueling station, cooking for the family business. She’d bet good money he was fat and balding and emitted a foul odor.

Coming to the passenger car, she paused. It was late, yet several people were up. Knowing that her dress would turn heads, she didn’t care. Every man, and even some of the women, stared at her enhanced breasts as she walked past them, down the aisle to where the bar was.

Her dress consisted of a black vinyl schoolgirl skirt with two silver buckles on her hip. The matching vinyl shirt was more of a strip that wrapped around her breasts and nothing else. It wasn’t even wide enough to cover the exposed tops. Her midriff was bare, as were her shoulders. She hadn’t had a chance to change out of the outfit, but would before she landed. Besides, it was perfect for what she was about tonight.

Finding her target easily at the end of the bar, sitting by himself as he read a newspaper chip on his handheld, she pasted on her most alluring grin. The man glanced up, looking toward the bar for the bartender. The bartender was busy drooling over her. She thrust a shoulder back, striking a pose in her strappy black heels. The man’s eyes turned to her. They were as clear as a summer sky, blue and penetrating.

She let him look his fill, watching his eyes move down over her then back up. A slow smile curled his handsome mouth as she came forward. He was an incredibly striking specimen of male beauty. His dark blond hair spiked up sexily from his head, looking messy, yet done at the same time. From what she could tell, he was built. It was a definite plus. Being in shape, he’d have more stamina. His skintight shirt hugged to his frame, leaving no curve or dip to the imagination.

Oh, yeah, Diamond thought. This one will do just fine.
