Kal circled her body within the warmth of his muscular arms and she broke down. She couldn’t remember ever sobbing like this. “Shh, it’s all right, jihar, we have our men scouring the land. I’m sure she’ll be found soon,” he whispered against her head, and kissed the side of her face.
It felt good to be held by the man she loved, but it didn’t diminish the worry over her missing sister. What was worse, she had a feeling Eden was in trouble. What bothered her was Rohman’s reaction. He seemed to think the blame lay at her sister’s feet, but Genesis was no fool. Something smelled fishy. “It’s been several hours. If so many men have been sent out to search for her, in the sky at that, then why haven’t you found her yet?”
He stroked the back of her head in a soothing motion. “I’m not really sure why either. She’s a small woman who isn’t too familiar with our world yet so she couldn’t have gotten that far. Thane seems to think that maybe someone has taken her in. Our guards are going door to door asking for her. If my brother’s theory is correct, it’s only a matter of time before she’s found. I know you’re worried, but everyone is doing the best they can.”
“I feel so helpless.”
“You’re not helpless. You’re very strong, and I admire that in you. I noticed your inner strength right away. It’s one of the reasons I was attracted to you.”
Genesis couldn’t help cracking a smile. “And I thought it was for my devastatingly beautiful looks,” she joked weakly.
He grasped her chin, tilting her head up so that she looked up at him. “I did notice your beauty, right away, but there is so much more to my attraction for you than the physical.” Silky red hair framing his face as he bent, his lips grazed hers. She felt a familiar stirring in her pussy.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, her tongue shooting out to trace the contours of his lips. Kal pulled back. “No, Genesis. You’ve just experienced a great amount of strain, and you have a lot on your mind. I think you should rest.”
“No. While my sister is missing, I don’t think I’d be able to sleep a wink. What I need most is you. I want you to annihilate this emptiness and pain I feel inside right now. Please. I need you, Kal. Make love to me.”
“You don’t know what you’re saying. You’re tired.”
She stepped up on tiptoes and kissed his jaw line. “I know exactly what I’m saying. Please.”
He groaned. “You know I can’t resist you, woman.”
Long fingers dug into her hair and his mouth smashed against hers, forceful and hungry. She pressed her body against him, nipples puckering to tight peaks against the hard plane of his muscular chest.
Her fingertips bit into his shoulders. She wanted to be as close to him as possible. If anyone would have told her she could feel like this for any man, she’d have laughed. Not too long ago, she was a doctor in a busy hospital wondering if she’d be able to keep her job because she went against company protocol. Now none of that mattered.
Earth was a distant memory and H’trae was her home, and her place was at Prince Kalian’s side. No one excited her quite like he did.
She squirmed against him, trying to get closer still. Dampness formed at the juncture of her thighs, a burning pressure at the base of her spine slowly working its way through her body.
“You’re so beautiful,” he muttered against her mouth. Kal let his hands trail down her back until his large calloused palms squeezed her bottom. She could feel the bulge of his cock straining to burst from his loincloth. Genesis wanted him inside of her now.
Anxious fingers fumbled with the ties of his jaytu, loosening it until it dropped to the floor, revealing his pulsing member. It was so long and thick -- so perfect. Unable to help herself, Genesis twisted out of his grip and dropped to her knees, feeling the sudden urge to taste him.
Wrapping her fingers around his girth, she pressed kisses against the velvety pink cap of his cock.
“Genesis,” he moaned, grasping her head between big hands.
She ran her tongue around the tip before taking it between her lips. It was so large. She knew she couldn’t take his entire length, but it didn’t stop her from trying. Taking inch by delectable inch of him into her mouth, she savored his unique, musky, but not unpleasant scent and taste. He was all male and she loved it.
He made it possible for her to explore her wildest fantasies. Her feelings of love only intensified the elation of sexual gratification swimming through her. Kal guided her head as she bobbed back and forth on his cock. Moaning and groaning, he showed his pleasure with each shudder and utterance of her name.
It got Genesis off to hear his delight because she knew when he was pleased, she was rewarded. She tasted his seed on the tip of her tongue and knew he was close to bursting.
“Dem, woman, I will explode in your mouth if you don’t stop this now.” His voice sounded hoarse with passion, but his words went unheeded.
She continued to suck his cock as if her life depended on it. When he released his grip on her head and bent over slightly to place his hands on her shoulders, she knew he was about to pull her up, but her hand tightened around the base of his cock. Genesis wouldn’t let up until he came in her mouth. Going at a frenzied pace, she knew he was close to his peak.
“I can’t hold back!”
Cupping his balls with her free hand she gave them a gentle squeeze. Kal stiffened. Stilted breathing rushed from his mouth. His fingers clenched on her shoulders in a vise.
“Genesis!” he yelled, shudders racking his body.
He shot his load into her mouth, filling it. She drank and swallowed as much of his seed as she could, some of it dribbling down her chin. Kal emptied his balls while she slid her tongue along the length of him, trying to catch every single drop of his jism that she’d missed.
“I love you so much,” he sighed.
That simple statement melted her heart. When he reached down to lift her this time, she didn’t resist. Lifting her into his arms, Kal strode the short distance to the bed where he lay her down.
She started to work on the ties of her ilsa gown, but he swatted her hands away. “No. I want to undress you myself. You had your turn, now it’s mine.”
Genesis lay back as he disrobed her, his eyes moving over every inch of exposed flesh. She trembled under his titillating gaze. He made her hot with just a glance. Her nipples were painfully tight, and more than anything she wanted him to take them into his mouth.
He positioned himself between her thighs, laying half of his body over hers. As if he’d read her mind, Kal cupped her aching breasts, rubbing his thumbs over the rigid tips.
“I love your breasts. They’re small but so responsive to my touch. And they taste good too,” he said, dipping his head and nipping the side of her breast with his teeth.
Genesis cried out in pleasure-pain. “Stop teasing me.”
Kal lifted his head, an amused look in his eyes. “And do what, jihar?”
“You know what I want.”
“Do I? You know how I like you to say the words to me.”
“Take it in your mouth. I want to feel you suckle me.”
He chuckled, placing a light kiss on her nipple. “With pleasure.”
The warm wet tugging of his mouth on her taut peak sent erotic charges of heavenly delight through her very core. Pussy clenching with need of his cock, Genesis writhed beneath him.
Stroking his long red hair, she moaned. “Oh, Kal, that feels so good.”
“And you taste good, woman. I don’t think I could ever tire of you.”
“You’d better not because there’s no getting rid of me now,” she chuckled, her mirth soon turning into moans of desire.
Kal transferred his attention to her other nipple, licking, nibbling, and sucking. Genesis felt like she’d burst. Kal released the tortured tip before pressing a kiss to the valley of her breasts.
“Beautiful. So beautiful.” Steadily, he moved down her body, leaving a trail of kisses as he went. “I love you
r dark, sexy skin. The Ancient Ones were smiling on me when I found you,” he whispered.
Genesis thought her heart would combust with love for this man.
He pushed her thighs open and parted her labia with his fingers. Running his long hot tongue against her clit, Kal filled her with animalistic yearning to be claimed.
“Fuck me now. I need your cock inside of me.”
He lifted his head, a slight smile on his sensuous lips. “You teased me, so now it’s my turn. I will not stop until I have your climax.” And with that he sucked her clit into his mouth.
She clamped her thighs over his ears. No one ate her pussy quite like Kal did, and Genesis knew he would make her come in no time.
“Yes.” She sighed with pleasure when he slid his middle finger into her channel. Though she preferred his cock, this would do for now. She bucked her hips against his face. “This is sexual torture,” she gasped.
He slipped another finger inside her cunt and fucked her harder, his mouth never letting go of her clit. Genesis squirmed and wiggled against him. She had no doubt in her mind that Kal knew exactly what he was doing. The stimulation of his mouth on her pussy was unbelievably hot. Ungovernable flames of passion licked at her nerve endings, driving her insane.
The more she shook and moaned, the more intense his mouth and fingers became. When orgasm came, it started in the tips of her toes. It traveled up quivering thighs, hitting her pussy with such great force that spots of light danced before her eyes.
Falling. That’s what it felt like, into a state of utter bliss. “Kal!”
His tongue lapped her juices until she lay limp and weak from the satisfaction he’d given her. He wasn’t finished with her yet. Before she could recover, Kal shoved his thick cock into her wet channel. “You’re so wet and tight.”
“And your cock feels wonderful inside me.” Genesis clenched her pussy muscles around his member, making him grunt with pleasure in the process.
“You’ll be the death of me, woman.”
“But it’s the good kind isn’t it?”
“Of course. Wrap your legs around me, jihar. I want to be as deep within you as I possibly can.”
She complied with his impassioned moan, the shift of her legs allowing him to go deeper still. His thickness stretched her pussy walls beautifully. She sighed with contentment. Kal stilled himself as though allowing her time to adjust, but Genesis would have none of it. Pushing her hips against him, she forced him to move.
Kal laughed. “So eager.”
“I’m always eager for delicious Ceyan cock.”
He lifted one dark red brow. “The only Ceyan’s cock you’ll ever have is mine.”
“Of course, my love,” she said, projecting as much contrition into her voice as possible. On Earth, nothing turned her off faster than a jealous man, but it didn’t take long for Genesis to figure out possessiveness was a part of the Ceyan man’s makeup.
“And don’t you forget it,” he growled.
His cock worked in and out of her cunt, slowly at first before picking up the pace, pushing her to the edge again. Their sweat-slickened bodies slid against each other, melding and rubbing. Genesis felt like she’d faint from pleasure.
“Fuck me harder, Kal.”
She didn’t have to tell him twice. He rammed his thick member into her earnestly and forcefully. This is exactly what she wanted. She wrapped her arms around his back, and legs around his hips. She couldn’t get enough of the exquisiteness of the moment.
Silver eyes locked with hers and she saw many emotions swimming in their depths -- lust, possessiveness, and love. Racked by a torrential burst of pleasure, Genesis screamed her release. Kal continued to thrust into her as if the world would end that very night, not stopping until he came inside of her.
Her cunt clenched around his cock, milking it of every single drop of his seed. Kal wrapped his arms around her, rolling over so that she lay on top.
He gave her a long lingering kiss. “I love you, Genesis, and no matter what happens, we’ll deal with it together.”
Their coming together had been as explosive as usual, but her last thought as she drifted off to sleep was of her sister.
Chapter Five
Rohman held the strip of pink ilsa cloth in his hand. One of his guards had found it near the cliffs and there was no doubt in his mind it belonged to Eden. Had she gone over the cliff? They’d searched the bottom of it and found no body, so what could this mean? How far away from him was she now?
He stared down at the drop of blood on the cloth and felt a deep sense of regret. That one time they were together touched him more than he cared to admit. A connection had been made. He’d spent the past day trying to figure out what it was. The more he thought about it, the more he didn’t want to accept Ani’s version of what happened, but each time he spoke to her the story remained the same.
Pacing the meeting room, his body ached with the sudden need for Eden’s warmth. Nothing had ever felt quite as good as being inside of her. When she touched him his heart beat faster. He couldn’t begin to understand the mind of a woman, but why she ran away still baffled him.
He was so deep in his thoughts he didn’t hear his twin enter the room. “Mehier, has there been any word on Eden?” Aarik asked anxiously. His eyes were bloodshot as if he hadn’t slept in days.
Silently Rohman handed his brother the scrap of cloth his guards had found.
Aarik frowned as he looked it over. “What does this have to do with anything?”
“It belonged to Eden.”
“Where was this found?”
“At the cliffs, maybe a mile outside the castle grounds,” Rohman answered tightly.
“You don’t think… she didn’t fall over the cliffs did she? No. They would have found a body by now but… I’m confused.”
“As am I.”
“You were the last person to see her before she left. Was there something she may have said to give some kind of clue as to which way she might have gone?”
Perhaps it was time to tell his brother what he’d been holding on to since he found out about Eden’s defection. “I wasn’t the last person to see her before her disappearance. Ani was.”
“Ani? Why are you just saying something now? What did she say?”
Rohman relayed what Ani had told him. His twin’s expression went from intent to incredulous. “And you believed her? What is it with you and her? You mistrust women yet you take your whore’s word just like that?”
“She’s not my whore, and I didn’t say I believed her. I just can’t prove she lied to me.”
“I see your point. She is Fherenji, which rules out the option of looking into her mind to get out the truth… unless…”
“Unless what?” Rohman asked, feeling anxious. If there was some way to get the truth out of his deceitful servant he’d go for it.
“Thane mentioned something to me earlier that makes me believe Raven could be of some help in this dilemma. He says she has a way of ‘seeing’ people.”
“I’m afraid I don’t follow. What do you mean by seeing?”
“She may be able to discern the truth from Ani. It wouldn’t be a mind reading. It’s more like a seeing into the inner being.”
“Ani has made herself scarce lately. Hmm, I’m sure I could draw her out if I make mention of wanting her to warm my bed. Not that I have any need for her.”
“I know your reason for having her as a mistress in the first place was because you feel she’s more upfront than most women, but to automatically take her word puzzles me.”
“At first I didn’t, but then she began to tell me things Eden had mentioned to her. You have no idea how humiliating it is to find your mate of less than a day has run away from you because she believes you’re a brute.”
“Is that what Eden said to you?”
“No, but it’s what she supposedly said to Ani.”
“That doesn’t sound like her.”
“And what do you know of my mate?”
“I’ve had little interaction with her, but from what I’ve observed, I don’t believe she would do that. Why do you let your inherent mistrust of women get in the way? I know you refuse to talk about it, but now is as good a time as any. It’s time for you to let go and forgive yourself.”
Rohman frowned. “Forgive myself? I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he grunted.
“Don’t you? You have all this anger bottled up inside of you about what happened that day, and you’ve always pointed the finger to Mother when deep down you’ve been blaming yourself. It wasn’t your fault and it wasn’t Mother’s. You’re letting this thing drive you.”
“If you know what’s good for you, Aarik, you will drop this subject. I have no wish to speak on it anymore.”
His twin shook his head with a determined expression on his face. “No. I won’t. For so long I’ve kept in what I’ve been wanting to tell you for fear of how it would make you feel, but to be honest, I’m tired of this. Everyone around this castle is extra careful to please you. Thane and Kal care deeply about you and Mother aches for you, but does this even register with you?”
“Aarik --” he gave a warning growl.
The other man advanced, poking a long finger in the center of Rohman’s chest. “Don’t you dare ‘Aarik’ me! For once you’re going to listen to what someone else has to say so shut up!”
No one had ever spoken to him like this before, save his dead sire. “Have you taken leave of your senses, brother?”
“No. I’ve finally come to mine. This is something that has needed to be said for quite some time now. Our father did this to you. You never used to be like this. When Treyu died, that was when the seed was planted. The heir to the throne killed by a treacherous woman right? At least that’s what Father wanted you to believe. You know just as well as I how mean spirited our older brother was. He took after our father, but you worshipped him. He could do no wrong in your eyes, but he was a horrible man.”
“Stop it. Treyu and Father are not here to defend themselves any longer, and you defame them.”
