Diana's POV

Venus was a pest – literally dragging me around with him. Anywhere he went, I went. When I slept, he even slept next to me. But nothing romantic, no cuddles or kisses, just separate and next to me while I lay passed out from his constant need to fuck.

There was one quite amusing benefit.

He wasn't letting anyone else near me. Not even Mars could get close.

But E was actually rather stable while his mind was focused on having me, so his Kor brothers and cousins kept their distance.

And hell, I was enjoying it – really enjoying it.

But.

Heh.

Last night, some words were passed around the table outside in the garden as they all set out a banquet for me and I was able to eat some human food. As I ate a jam donut and a iced coffee, Mars looked quietly smug.

"You heard the news, yet, E?" Mars had asked Venus, who had me sitting on his lap so the others couldn't even get within breathing distance.

"What news?" he rested his chin on the top of my head, his dick still in my pussy by the way.

"Orlai," Mars had said her name with such a sensual vibe, even my hairs stood on end and I glared at him, as he explained, "They've completely indoctrinated her into a position of permanent surrender. Willing. Of course..." Mars' news had been met with a round of bemused chuckles from my Ninth Squad.

"Don't be so worried, Empress," Neptune had tried to cajole me, reaching for my thigh under the table, "We would never do that to you."

E basically swept me up then, his arm around my waist as he carried me off from the dinner. And yes, his dick actually left my body when that happened – a slight reprieve as I'm carried off like a damn toy.

"Thanks for ruining it, Neptune," I call back, rolling my eyes, "Put that iced coffee in the fridge!!! Buy me more donuts!"

I had been enjoying everyone's company, but according to E's law – they could only be around me if they kept their hands off.

He was not in a sharing mood.

That was last night.

I had found the whole possessive-stalker Venus getting his way... amusing, even to myself and my full womb. My pussy was getting a workout whenever he wanted to fuck me and yeah – it was a fun, funny, one-Kor-cock-wonderland.

But.

I think I'm going to stab his eyes out if Venus looks at me one more time and his dick jumps up like a ticket to the never ending pussy ride.

And I'm worried about Orlai.

She was human and meek.

I had an advantage, at least.

But finally, finally, I see an opening to some freedom.

Venus has made a critical error – and I see my getaway within mere feet of me. He's taken me to the garage and his spaceship, working on some upgrades or repairs. As he creates some moving parts he needs through his weird Elion instruments, I notice how focused he is when he's engineering.

I need this to be his idea, I saw a connecting bathroom, a basic place to wash off after a long work day travelling the Intergalactic Highways.

I sit close to E, rubbing across my leg and groaning in frustration as I slide my fingers through my hair and murmur, "Gross..." I lean on the table, fidgeting on the stool, looking very uncomfortable as I keep making noises of 'surprise' as I then check my feet and look at the dirt accumulating, "Argh. I'm so... dirty," E stops looking at his contraption to slowly look at me. Fuck, "What are you doing there?" I ask, knowing that question annoys him because it's too difficult to explain what he knows to someone who knows nothing about Elion tech in the first place.
