Lindsey rubbed her body against him trying to get closer. Her hardened nipples pressed into him causing him to growl with need. He released her lips to nibble her cheek and neck. He licked her skin. Her taste drove him crazy.
“I want you badly but you’re still recovering.”
“I’m fine.”
“We shouldn’t do anything more than kissing and snuggling until the medics have cleared it.”
Lindsey wasn’t going to let him get away with that. She reached down between their bodies and took him into her hand. She pumped him up and down. He closed his eyes pushing his hips back and forward. “That feels so good.”
She lowered herself down to her knees still pumping his staff. She took the tip of his penis into her mouth. She used her tongue making little swirling motions teasing him. He gripped her hair gently but firmly to try to get control. She opened her mouth wider taking him inside. She sucked and used both of her hands to work him.
She tasted the sweet flavor of him and started sucking in earnest. The sweet candy flavor of him was addicting and she would never get tired of it. His grip tightened in her hair as she milked his seed. She released him and sat back on her heels.
He still had his hands in her hair. He used his grip to drag her back up his body. He took her lips in a passionate kiss tasting himself. He was hardening for her again already. He growled with need.
“Please, KadEN. I need you,” she begged him as she rubbed herself all over him.
“You will tell me if you are in any kind of pain,” he demanded of her with a deep rumbling voice.
“Yes,” she promised him.
He lifted her higher up in his arms. She wrapped her legs around his waist immediately. She was already wet for him. Pleasuring him with her mouth had actually turned her on too.
“Now!” he demanded.
KadEN held her rounded bottom with his big hands and guided his sex inside of her. She was so tight and warm. He loved being with her, being inside of her, he just … loved her. He started moving in and out, thrusting and grinding.
“Oh …” Lindsey moaned as she used her feet and thigh muscles to ride him.
He pressed her back against the shower wall. They forgot all about the water running from the shower. They were consumed with one another. KadEN lifted her legs up higher giving her deeper penetration. He ground himself inside her. He wasn’t going to last much longer. He reached down and rubbed her labia.
“KadEN!” Lindsey threw her head back and screamed as she came hard.
Lindsey’s inner muscles were squeezing him from her release. He held her body still as he shot his seed deep within her. “Mine!” He seemed to come and come. His claiming was total, raw, and complete. No one meeting Lindsey would doubt for one second who she belonged to. She would carry his scent marking. He smiled with his pleasure.
KadEN slowly lowered Lindsey down to her feet. They held onto each other. Lindsey looked up into his beautiful eyes with surprise and awe. “You came?”
“Yes, I released.” He looked at her in question.
“You came inside of me?” The meaning of what had just happened hit her hard. He had just claimed her as his mate.
He nodded his head. “You are my mate, I should have done this the first time we shared sex. I was … an idiot, as your people would say.”
When Lindsey didn’t say anything, KadEN began to worry that she didn’t feel the same about him and that she would be upset over him mating her without first asking her permission.
“Please say something to me, beautiful.”
She threw her arms around his shoulders and cried. “I wasn’t sure that you wanted me as a mate. I thought … you would mate with AriELa and that I would be alone missing you.”
He pulled her tight against him. “I suspected after our first kiss that you would be special to me. I was slow at realizing the depth of my feelings for you. But after we shared sex, I knew that you were my bond mate, the one person sent by the Goddess KatieRI to be mine. How could I want anyone else?”
“I love you, KadEN,” Lindsey whispered with emotion in her voice.
KadEN looked at her as if she was the most precious thing in the world. “I have much love for you, my bond mate.” He turned the water off and dried her carefully with a towel. He then carried her to the bed.
They made love again, slowly and sweetly. Afterwards they laid together in each other’s arms, wanting to remain that way forever. For now, they enjoyed their protected bubble. Tomorrow reality would crash in on them.
Chapter Sixteen
“What happened with AriELa?” Lindsey asked him when they woke the next morning. She watched as KadEN walked around the room naked. He had called for one of his lieutenants to bring him a fresh pair of clothes.
He went over to the window and looked out at his beloved city. “Prima AriELa, Second Lieutenant Daniels, and Security Officer TarAK were caught by the Morins while they were shopping on the streets below. There were several witnesses whom saw TarAK put himself in front of AriELa hoping to give her a chance to run. He was struck down by a Morin. AriELa went to aid him instead of escaping. Second Lieutenant Daniels tried to pull AriELa to safety but she refused to leave TarAK. The Morins grabbed AriELa and TarAK. It took two Morins to subdue the female warrior. We have video feed verifying the events.”
“I’m so sorry. Does Prime Leader RendEL know?” Lindsey walked over to stand by his side.
“Yes, Prime Commander KydEL will be arriving any minute. We are going over rescue plans to retrieve those taken.”
“Do you know where the Morins are hiding?”
“We have several locations that we think they may be using. One location is close to an asteroid field. The magnetism from the field would provide cover for them. It is probably where they have been hiding from us this whole time. They never should have been able to breach our defenses. Kitana!”
She reached out her hand to his shoulder to offer comfort. “This wasn’t your fault, KadEN.” She worried when he didn’t say anything. “Are you sorry that we were together?”
KadEN took her in his arms giving her a passionate kiss. “Never! But I can’t help but feel … guilty. While my people were under attack, and AriELa was being taken, I had been enjoying myself with you.”
She nodded her head. “I feel a little guilty too. But we did nothing wrong. We are not responsible for the Morins coming here.”
They were interrupted by the buzzer for the suite. Lindsey was already dressed so she went to answer the door. The lieutenant on the other side gave her a shy smile. She took the clothes from him and he left immediately.
When she went back into the bedroom, KadEN was talking to someone on his comm link. “I’m on my way to the Operations Room. If he wants to watch the video feed, then show it to him. Five minutes.” He ended communications and took the clothes from Lindsey.
“I would like to come with you,” Lindsey said quietly. She didn’t know how he would react. Did she overstep her bounds?
He nodded his head. “I want you with me. You have a brilliant mind for strategy.”
She beamed at his compliment. They walked to the door hand in hand. It pleased her that he didn’t try to pull away from her. KadEN was publicly showing his people that she was his mate. It made her heart fill with love. She squeezed his hand at the thought that he was hers too.
They found several council members, Commander TylOR, AshOR, Prime Commander KydEL, and Captain Jaxon in the operations room watching the video feed. Lindsey’s breath caught as she watched the image of TarAK falling from a laser gun shot in the side. Then AriELa screamed and ran to him.
Watching the scene proved to Lindsey the younger woman was definitely in love with the security liaison. She prayed that KadEN and KydEL would be able to find AriELa and TarAK, along with the others that were taken.
She watched Jaxon’s reaction when the Morins went after the Second Lieutenant. “That’s bullshit! Daniels could have taken them.”
&n
bsp; Commander KydEL looked at his mate questioningly, “What are you saying, that she didn’t try to get free?”
Jaxon nodded her head. “She gave herself up on purpose.”
“Why would she do that?” KadEN asked.
“So that she would remain with AriELa, to protect her,” Jaxon stated firmly. She had no doubts of her Second Lieutenant’s abilities and knew that had to be the only reason the Morins got their hands on her. Lucy would rather die in battle than to be taken prisoner.
“Is the tracking signal working?” Jaxon asked KydEL. After Jaxon and KydEL had been stranded, they insisted that every member of the Prime family get implanted with a tracking device so that they could be found.
KydEL shook his head, “There’s interference. If we were able to get close enough, whatever is causing the disruption in the signal may be corrected.” He looked over at KadEN and Lindsey, then sniffed the air. “You have mated?”
Lindsey blushed a bright red. She couldn’t look the Katieran Commander in the eyes. She mated KadEN while his cousin, who was sent to Kiljor to mate the same man, was taken prisoner. What could she say?
KadEN didn’t seem to have that problem. “We are bond mates and I have mated with her, which is my right by our Goddess KatieRI. However, this is not the time nor place to discuss it. We need to make plans on the retrieval of both your people and mine.”
A lieutenant walked into the room ignorant of the uncomfortable environment. “Sir, the Colonial Leader LarIS is here.”
KadEN nodded for the lieutenant to show the other man in. Lindsey perked up with interest. This was the first time that she had seen anyone from the Colony. The lieutenant escorted into the room a tall man with gorgeous red hair. The man seemed to radiate confidence. When he looked her way, she was taken aback by the green of his eyes set off by the golden irises. She had seen many exotics eyes since coming to Katiera, but this man’s eyes also had an outer ring that appeared to shimmer.
He looked right at her as he spoke, “They do shimmer when I am scanning minds.”
Lindsey shivered. The man’s voice was sexy. Not as sexy as KadEN’s but still, very pleasant. Wait! Did he just read her mind?
The strange man smiled, “I did. I am what Dr. Morris calls a telepath.”
KadEN offered his forearm in greeting. “Thank you for your assistance, Leader LarIS.”
Commander KydEL came over to offer his forearm as well. “It is a pleasure to finally meet you. My brother Prime Medic SydEL told me about your abilities.”
“How is your brother and his lovely mate?”
“They are happily mated and doing very well.”
“And what about their young?”
“Growing bigger every day. We are all excited and awaiting the birth. Let me introduce you to my mate, Prima Captain Jaxon.” He motioned for his mate to step forward.
“You can call me Captain Jaxon. Still not used to the Prima thing.” She reached out her forearm.
Leader LarIS’s eyes lit up. “Ah, the female warrior that I heard so much about from Commander TylOR and some of his lieutenants. It is a true honor to finally meet you. I wish it was under different circumstances.” He offered his forearm to clasp Jaxon’s forearm.
“Kat told me a lot about you too. You can read minds, right? That’s what you did with Lindsey?”
KydEL frowned at her but LarIS laughed. “Yes, and yes. You want to test me by having me tell you what you are thinking right now?” When Jaxon nodded her head, his eyes shimmered as he looked at her eyes. “You are hoping to get to fly a warship and blow up some Morin ass. Now you are thinking about the makeup sex that you and Prime Commander shared right after you fought and how you want to continue …”
“Okay, that’s enough.” Jaxon blushed as she interrupted LarIS from saying anything more.
Lindsey was glad that she had kept her mind free of anything related to KadEN and being naked. KadEN naked made her wet her lips. She looked at LarIS quickly finding him smiling at her with his shimmering eyes. Damn it! Think of little blue balls … wrong analogy.
LarIS laughed out loud. Everyone looked at him strangely. Much of the time being able to know what everyone was thinking was quite burdensome. But being around these Earth females was extremely pleasant. He needed to find him one to mate with for sure.
KadEN directed everyone to take a seat. “Not only do we have Leader LarIS and his people to thank for coming to our rescue, but he has been gracious enough to agree to use his special abilities to pinpoint the exact location of the Morins.”
“Can you do that from here?” Lindsey asked.
“Unfortunately, Kiljor is too far away. I questioned the prisoners that you had in the Medic Wing. I got a few things from them before they passed on from blood loss. They had narrowed down the search a great deal. I will need to board a Transport and attempt to get closer to the location we believe they are hiding. Once I am close enough, I will be able to pick up thoughts of the Morins.”
“What are we waiting for?” Jaxon asked.
KydEL looked at her in frustration. “I would like for you to stay here.”
“No way, buddy. We are a team. Where you go, I go,” Jaxon stated firmly making KydEL sigh in surrender.
Lindsey wanted to laugh at their antics. It was clear that Jaxon had the large Commander wrapped around her little finger. She looked over at KadEN. He was watching her. It was a little scary to see such emotion for her in his eyes.
“Commander TylOR and Prime Commander KydEL will organize the team. We hope to be able to move within two hours. The sooner the better,” KadEN announced standing and ending their meeting.
Chapter Seventeen
“So, you and KadEN, huh?” Jaxon asked Lindsey as they walked together to her suite.
“Yeah, I hope I’m not upsetting anyone. AriELa suspected that KadEN and I had feelings for one another, though we both had been denying it. She was the one who encouraged me to return to Kiljor to find out what my feelings were and to see if he felt the same. I … love him.”
“Hey, I’m not judging you. I knew that AriELa’s heart wasn’t in the match with KadEN. I had always suspected she had a thing for TarAK. Watching that video today, seeing how she reacted when he got hurt only confirmed it.”
“Do you think the Primes will be upset that there won’t be a Prime Mating between the two nations?”
“No, I don’t think so. Everyone just wants AriELa back home safe and sound.”
Lindsey nodded, “I want that too.”
“So … what do you think about this LarIS guy? Does that mind-reading shit bother you?” Jaxon asked as they sat on the sofa in Lindsey and AriELa’s suite.
KadEN wanted her to move into his suite but she wanted to stay where she was, at least until they found AriELa. She knew the High Council was still not happy with the turn of events. KadEN refused to tell her what they had said to him when he informed them that she was his bond mate. But it had to be bad from the way he had gotten angry.
Lindsey shrugged her shoulder, “If he can find AriELa and the others by using his gift, then I am all for it.”
“Yeah, me too. It doesn’t hurt that he is easy on the eyes either.”
Lindsey gave her a wide smile, “Not bad, not bad at all.”
Both women giggled. They spent the next thirty minutes relaxing and snacking on some food that Lindsey had in her kitchenette. They also shared stories. Jaxon told her about when she and Prime Commander KydEL had to crash-land their warships. Lindsey couldn’t tell her much about hers and KadEN’s experience. She didn’t remember much of it except for the pain.
A Kiljorn Lieutenant came to escort them back to the Operations Room. Lindsey walked in, side by side with Jaxon. She was starting to feel some of her confidence in herself return. For a while, she had become lost. Fighting how she felt about KadEN, not leaving things on a good note with her father, just not happy with who she had become.
Now, she held her shoulders back and walked into the Operations
Room with pride and dignity. She was the bond mate of the Prime Leader of Kiljor. She already loved him and she knew that she would grow to love his people as well.
KadEN, KydEL, and LarIS were the only ones left in the operations room. The three men stood and welcomed the two women back.
“Okay, so now that the big boys had time to make their little plans, do you want to tell the women folk what those plans are?” Jaxon asked sounding pissed that she and Lindsey had been excused from the planning session.
Lindsey tried hard not to smile, but Jaxon just had a way about her no one else had. The three men looked confused but recognized the slight angry tone in her voice. None of them except Prime Commander KydEL had the tiniest clue how to handle the warrior woman.
KadEN stood and walked over to Lindsey, kissing her cheek and taking her hand in his. He led her over to where he was sitting and pulled up a chair right next to his. KydEL, however, stayed in his seat and patted his lap. Jaxon walked over to his seat, kicked it out from under him making him fall to the floor, and then took the chair for herself.
KydEL wasn’t angry. He sprung up to his feet laughing. He leaned down, picked Jaxon up in his arms, and then sat down with her in his lap. She punched him on the arm but she was smiling.
Lindsey envied the easy relationship they had. Each able to be who they were without worry the other would try to hold them back and keep them down. Lindsey hoped that she and KadEN would eventually have that kind of easy relationship.
KadEN reached out to take her hand again, squeezing it. All her nerves seemed to just disappear. She felt as if they were partners, a team, which she had never had with a man before—it was thrilling.
Leader LarIS sat there feeling slightly out of place. What these two males had was so precious. He wished he could find someone that fit him as well as these Earth females fit these males. Their feelings for one another were so strong, their thoughts were broadcasting loudly. He didn’t want to intrude on the intimate thoughts, but he found himself curious. What would it be like for him?
