Pirate’s
Woman
by
Paige Tyler
I've
always thought pirates are so damn sexy! Blame it on all those historical
romances I read as a teen. There was nothing hotter than a big, strong handsome
pirate falling for the feisty woman he either kidnapped, rescued or a
combination thereof!
But while
my experience with pirates was in the historical genre, I didn't want to write
an historical. Instead, I wanted to do sci-fi. And I wanted it to be hot! So, I
came up with a story about a beautiful woman named Teyla who agrees to let the
sinfully handsome pirate Slayter sell her as a sex slave on the auction block
in order to pay off the enormous debt her family owes him. Teyla is determined
to bring in as much money as she can, but is afraid she won't fetch a high price
because she's inexperienced when it comes to men. That's when things get really
fun because she asks Slayter if he'll teach her how to pleasure a man. Just to
improve her value, you know? Of course, he agrees. How could he say no, right?
Now,
here's where the story gets complicated. While he's instructing her on how to
be a sex slave, Slayter starts falling for Teyla, and she for him. But she
agreed to pay off her family's debt and he needs the money for his ship and his
crew. What can either of them do?
You'll
have to read the story to find out! And to give you added incentive, I'll tease
you with a steamy excerpt.
Enjoy!
Blurb:
Love that’s out of this world…
To
honor the debt her family owes Slayter Cardona, beautiful Teyla Dunai agrees to
let him sell her as a sex slave in the markets of Arkhon. Determined to bring
as much value as she can on the auction block, but inexperienced where men are
concerned, she asks the handsome pirate if he’ll teach her how to pleasure a
man. Intrigued, and more than a little attracted to the lavender-eyed beauty,
Slayter agrees. But as he initiates her into the world of bondage, spanking and
out-of-this-galaxy sex, both Teyla and Slayter find themselves falling for each
other.
Slayter
has a responsibility to his crew, and Teyla knows it is her duty to pay off her
family’s debt. With the deal already agreed upon, there doesn’t seem to be any
way for their story to have a happy ending. Until Teyla is kidnapped…and they
reach the slave auction house…and Slayter has to find a way to reclaim his own
“sex slave”.
Excerpt:
“Have
you ever been to Arkhon before?” she asked, trying to distract herself so she
wouldn’t stare at him.
Slayter
sopped up what was left of his stew with a piece of bread. “Once.”
She
would have thought he’d go more since he was a pirate. “What will happen when
we get there?”
He
hesitated. “I’m not quite sure. I’ve never sold a slave before, but I imagine
it will be the same process as selling anything else there.”
Meaning
she would be put on the auction block and sold to the highest bidder. “Do you
know if buyers look for certain things when they purchase a sex slave?”
He
frowned slightly. “I suppose.”
“You
don’t think they’ll want to…sample the merchandise before they buy, will they?”
“I’m
sure some buyers might, but I don’t think the people who run the auction would
allow that.” Slayter must have seen the relief on her face because he gave her
a reassuring smile. “You don’t have anything to be concerned about, Teyla.
You’re a very beautiful woman. Any man can see that.”
Considering
the situation, the compliment shouldn’t have warmed her like it did, but she
felt herself blush anyway. “It’s just that I don’t have very much experience
when it comes to sex. I mean, I’m not a virgin, but I haven’t been with a lot
of men, either. I’m concerned potential buyer will know right away that I’m
inexperienced.” She looked at him from beneath lowered lashes. “I don’t want
you to come out on the short end of this exchange.”
He
shook his head. “I really don’t think that’s going to be a problem.”
She
frowned. “Maybe, but my family would be very embarrassed if I didn’t earn
enough money on the block to cover the debt.” She took a deep breath and let it
out slowly. “This is very difficult to ask, but do you think you might be able
give me some advice on how best to please a man?”
“Advice?”
His eyes went a little wide at that, and he cleared his throat. “Uh, actually,
sex is more of a…hands-on thing.”
“Oh.”
Teyla
chewed on her lower lip. She couldn’t believe she was even contemplating what
she was about to do, but the thought that one of her sisters might end up where
she was if she didn’t earn the required money to cover the debt was enough to
give her the courage she needed.
She
lifted her gaze to look at Slayter. “Would you be willing to give me hands-on
experience then?”
He
arched a brow, but didn’t say anything. From the expression on his face, it was
clear he was taken aback by her request.
“I
know I probably shouldn’t be asking you for favors, but I just want to make
sure you receive the money my family owes you.” When he still didn’t answer,
she added softly, “If you don’t find me pleasing enough to bed, I understand.”
She
was afraid to think what that would mean when it came to her value on the
auction block. What would happen if no one bid on her at all?
The
corner of Slayter’s mouth curved. “I find you quite pleasing, Teyla. Perhaps
more than I should.”
Her
pulse quickened. “Then you’ll teach me?”
There
was a very long pause, then, “Yes, I’ll teach you. If that’s what you really
want.”
“It
is. Can we start now?”
They
only had a few days before they reached Arkhon, and she didn’t want to waste
any time.
He
hesitated, then nodded. “If you’d like.”
Slayter
might have seemed hesitant when she’d first brought it up, but now that he had
agreed, she could see the fire burning in his eyes.
Something
told her the pirate would be a very thorough teacher. Heat pooled between her
thighs at the thought of him showing her all the different ways she could
pleasure a man. She might learn more with him in a few days than she probably
ever would have with the men on her planet.
Slayter
stood and came around to her side of the table. Taking her hand, he gently
pulled her to her feet. Teyla had known out the pirate was tall when she’d
stood in front of him in the cargo hold earlier, but now she realized just how
tall he really was. She barely came up to those broad shoulders of his.
She
waited for Slayter to say something, but he simply gazed down at her. The
smolder in his gold eyes took her breath away and she swayed toward him. Her
reaction to being so close to him caught her off guard, but before she could
steady herself, he lowered his head and covered her mouth with his. The kiss
took her by surprise and for a moment she didn’t know how to respond.
She
hadn’t expected Slayter to do something so intimate. She’d thought they would
shed their clothes and get to it. But as his mouth moved slowly and deliciously
over hers, she melted against the hard wall of his chest. He slid his hand in
her long hair, deepening the kiss with a groan. Teyla parted her lips under
his, sighing with pleasure when his tongue invaded her mouth to claim hers. She
ran her hands up his chest to clutch his shoulders, afraid if she didn’t hold
on to something that she would fall. She didn’t know a man’s kisses could be so
intoxicating.
Or
that the feel of his hands on her body could set her afire. But as his free
hand slid up her midriff to cup her breast through the thin material of her
dress, the heat that had pooled between her thighs earlier completely engulfed
her. If she responded to him like this when they were fully clothed, how was
she going to react when they were both naked?
That
was when she remembered the purpose behind what they were doing. She was supposed
to be learning how to pleasure Slayter, but instead it was the other way
around. She wondered if she should remind him of that, but as he trailed kisses
along the curve of her jaw and down her neck, she decided to play the willing
student and leave the teaching part to him.
