Slave to His Desires by Ashlynn Monroe

Chapter 1
     
    Crowds mulled around the center of the market. Many of the
Alburionian upper and middle class stood watching to see if any of the alien
slaves interested them. Males and females from numerous planets had found
themselves taken by the intergalactic slavers. Seeing an auction of newly
imported aliens was rare, most slaves were born to it. Such an unusual assortment
was hard to find. It seemed every non-allied world had a sentient
representative today as part of this off-world slaver’s cargo.
    Even with all the technological innovations and inventions,
the Alburionian people enjoyed the service of aliens. They considered them
lesser creatures, and even if the planet was a hodgepodge of alien and
Alburionian DNA, only official citizen status meant anything. A slave was
always a slave. There was no legal way to free them unless they went off-world,
never to return. Few Alburion residents traveled off-world, as they considered
pure Alburion the highest life form in the galaxy and preferred not to sully
themselves with travel.

    The collar around Madison’s neck pulled tighter as she
struggled with her captor. The ugly, short, albeit strong, creature yanked
harder, and she stumbled forward.
    They spoke strangely, but even though she couldn’t
understand the words, their intentions were clear. She was for sale to the
highest bidder.
    Terror raced through her heart as she watched the bored
crowd milling around the platform. All the captives were naked, waiting to be
inspected by pinching, grabbing hands and curious eyes. They were held in cages
underneath the platform, but she and the male were the first prisoners they
roughly hauled from the cages for the crowd’s perusal. The male was dragged
onto the platform for inspection, and Madison could see horror on his face.
Seeing what he endured made the expression wholly understandable. Madison
couldn’t believe this was happening. Would they touch her like that too? She
shivered.
    The creature doing the auctioning called out loudly to the
crowd. Occasional laughter erupted from the spectators. Watching the male’s
auction didn’t offend or disturb these interested participants. Madison gazed
in horror. How could one being abuse another so casually ? The pain in
his face brought on by the callous inspection was universal. No words were
needed to understand it.
    Those in the crowd were mostly hairless beings. They were also
scary tall, with unusually long limbs. They looked strange too, with features
that humans didn’t possess. Compassion seemed to be a difference too; to allow
such a terrible thing they must not have any.
    Her turn was next, and when the creature tried to pull her
up on stage, she fought. A rather old alien had just finished purchasing the
male. Seeing the buyer’s lecherous look, Madison knew the poor slave’s
nightmare wouldn’t end with the terrible auction. The thought of a multitude of
hands on her genitals made her want to vomit.
    Her hands stayed helplessly tied in front of her, and she
lost her balance on the stone stairs. Falling, she ripped the flesh of her
knees and then her arms as she protected her face from impact, rolling with the
fall. Groaning and bleeding, she fought futilely as the ugly little creature
dragged her up painfully.
    The auctioneer began his unintelligible spiel. Several in
the crowd stepped forward to touch her, and she yelped. She tried to fight but
one of her captors hit her, holding her for the potential buyer’s examination.
Madison stared out at the uncaring faces who watched her humiliation without
the slightest indication of guilt. Bastards.
    She’d finally been living her dreams. All she wanted to do
was escape and return home—to reality. She wasn’t on Earth anymore. Overhead a
light lavender sky, filled with fluffy gray clouds, and countless miles of
space separated her from her home.
    Immediately after her abduction she’d found herself in a
cage next to an assortment of strange
