uniform piping sound and redoubled their efforts, their huge eyes glittering in the light the ore emitted.
“It seems you were right,” Grrrreelawk remarked.
“Was there any doubt? I have read the mineralogy and geology reports on this planet until I see them in my sleep. I know every likely place at both poles to seek out gallartium ore. Now that you are convinced, I expect you to maintain your end of the bargain.”
“And the diamonds?”
“I care nothing about diamonds. On your world they are rare and therefore valuable, much as they are on Terra. Here, gem-grade diamonds are only slightly less common than ordinary gravel. I can find diamonds along the beach that put the Hope Diamond to shame both in size and quality. You can line your pockets, or whatever passes for them, to your and your leader’s hearts’ content. So long as the gallartium is mined with due care and stored properly until it is time to take it off-planet, we will both be satisfied. Do you understand?”
“I do indeed.” Grrrreelawk’s tongue snaked out, flicking across his lips nervously. “I will see to it the operation continues.”
“Excellent,” the assassin said, staring greedily down at the ever-expanding vein of glowing blue.

“You can’t seriously have meant you wanted to take that ridiculous-looking man out for a sightseeing jaunt!” Merrick fumed.
“Yes, I did, Merrick. It would be impolitic not to, and I need to learn more about why there’s a military man attached to Al-Aziz’s team.”
Merrick froze. “How far are you willing to go to do that?”
Olivia’s face went cold. “What exactly do you mean?”
“Would you sleep with him, if you thought it would get you information?”
Something snapped in Olivia’s mind. “Merrick, you’re making a huge mistake. I love you, but I don’t own you. The same applies to you. If I do decide sleeping with him is the best way to get information, then that’s my own choice. Besides.” She smiled slightly, recalling the warmth of his lips against the skin of her hand. “He has nice lips. I wouldn’t mind kissing them, or even better, kissing you while both of you have me.”
He blinked. “You mean… a threesome?”
She shrugged. “Well, why not? If I decide I do want to sleep with him, I would feel better about it with you present. It would solve the problem rather neatly, and everyone gets what they want, yes?”
Merrick frowned and his brow furrowed. “But he’s sleeping with Al-Aziz.”
Olivia laughed out loud at the ludicrous notion. “You actually believed that? That was Al-Aziz having a joke at your and Colonel Silva’s expense at the same time. The most amazing thing about the whole situation is that you bought what he was selling you. Didn’t you see Silva’s mouth?”
The frown on Merrick’s handsome face crashed down into a full scowl. “What reason would I have to be looking at his mouth? The only interest I have in his mouth is possibly smashing my fist into it if he does anything untoward.”
“Come on, love.” Olivia pushed away from the wall, shrugging off the robe. “Doesn’t it make you hot, the idea of watching me with another man, knowing you and he will both have me? You don’t have to touch each other.” She paused, reflecting on that idea. “In fact, I’d prefer it. But just imagine me on my knees, wet and open for you while I suck another man’s hard cock. I’d be completely helpless. You can have my pussy, or even my ass. Would you like that, Merrick?”
She lowered herself into his lap. To her amusement, Merrick’s cock pressed against her slit, showing what he felt about it despite his protests. Leaning forward, she kissed his ear. “Imagine taking me at the same time he does, with me sandwiched between you, coming over and over as I scream both your names.” She swiveled her hips forward in a tiny, sensual undulation. “Wouldn’t that be worth it?”
He licked his lips. “I -- well, we’ve talked
