His Virgin Bride (Interstellar Brides: The Virgins Book 1)

by Grace Goodwin

  “Tomorrow, Von. Midday.”

  “Done.”

  * * *

  Lexi

  Cosmo smirked at me as Von gently led me away, all too pleased with the outcome of events.

  I should have listened to Dani and Katie. I should have scrubbed at the skin, or gone to their medical station and asked them to use one of those blue healing wands on my arm. But I’d been afraid word would get back to Von if I did.

  Not that it mattered now. That jerk Cosmo got exactly what he wanted, my mate agreeing to fight him tomorrow.

  “He’ll cheat or something, Von. Don’t fight him.”

  Von led me down a long hallway, one I’d not seen before, but I followed willingly. I was worried, but there was nowhere in the universe I’d rather be than with my mate. Von finally stopped walking and lifted his hand to indicate the door before us. “This is my room, Lexi. I want to take you inside, strip you down and make you mine. But as I know you will not let this go, I will speak this once of Cosmo and never again. Do not fear him. He will not defeat me, and he will not cheat. Cosmo is many things, but he is not a cheat. Nor is he a liar. He has been trying to goad me into fighting him for a long time.”

  “Why?” This whole macho-man thing didn’t make any sense.

  “He seeks atonement and vengeance.”

  “For what?”

  Von turned and backed me up against the wall. His legs settled in the thick folds of my gown’s skirt as he pressed my shoulders to the cold white wall at my back. “I truly do not wish to talk about Cosmo, mate. I want to kiss you and conquer your pussy with my tongue. I want to make you scream my name before I fill your tight virgin ass with my cock.”

  He had me at “conquer your pussy with my tongue”. He would turn me into jelly, wring orgasm after orgasm from my body, drown me in ecstasy until I’d let him do anything he wanted, for I knew he would bring me nothing but pleasure.

  Still. I was a virgin. I never thought I’d be psyched about going anal before I let a man pop my cherry. But with Von, nothing seemed strange or off limits. The idea of him kneeling behind me like a conqueror, filling me with his hard length made me shudder. I wanted him to fill me up. I wanted him to bury himself in my body and lose control of his. I wanted to be every sexual fantasy he’d ever had come to life. Still, I could just hear my mother’s screeching as she rolled over in her grave. She’d probably be on the phone with Father Samuel and praying for my damned soul.

  Still, I wanted Von. I wanted him in every way I could have him. I was going to experience everything.

  I blinked slowly and realized I’d frozen in his arms. Patient as ever, Von stared down at me. “Are you well, Lexi? Are you afraid?”

  “No.” I shook my head, licked my lips and his attention dropped to my mouth. “I want you. I want to do this.”

  “Then what is wrong?”

  “On Earth, I…It’s forbidden. A sin. I shouldn’t want you that way.”

  Von stopped stroking my hair and lowered his lips to mine. One soft, chaste kiss and I nearly swooned. With one finger under my chin, he tilted my face up. No one was about. We were alone in the hallway outside his room. Everyone was either still at the ball or in their rooms getting it on.

  His eyes were serious. “From your hesitation, and from what I’ve heard from other males about their mates from Earth, claiming a mate in the sacred order of the three is not a common occurrence where you are from?”

  “I’m a virgin, so I’m not a good guide for what’s common. But no. Anal sex is considered a sin by some. Adventurous by others, but definitely naughty.”

  He arched a brow and the corner of his mouth tipped up. “So you haven’t been saving all three of your virginities simply because you did not meet the right Earth man?”

  “No. I never wanted anyone before, not like this.” I lifted my hand to his chest and dared a little more, running my palm over his powerful frame until I reached up, twirling my fingers in his dark brown hair. “Before you, I thought—”

  His eyes clouded and he lowered his forehead to touch mine as I lifted my other hand to his neck. I loved touching him like this. It made this more real somehow, made him more mine.

  “Thought what, Lexi?” he whispered.

  “I thought I was broken. I thought something was wrong with me. All my friends were having sex and partying, and I just never…wanted anyone.” I lifted my head slightly so I was looking straight into his eyes. “I’d never even considered anal sex before coming here, and back home I probably would’ve had regular sex before I gave someone a blow job.”

  “Blow job?”

  God, could this conversation get any more embarrassing? “You know, putting my mouth on your cock?” Even though I’d done it the night before, I still blushed.

  “But I loved feeling your hot mouth sucking on my cock. As I loved the taste of your pussy coating my lips and tongue.”

  He said it like it was an absolute fact, like we were discussing the weather. “You make me feel so naughty,” I countered, my pulse racing.

  “Do you like to be naughty, my Lexi?”

  “Yes.” Holy hell, yeah, I did. I felt my cheeks heat even more and his smile widened.

  “Did you like what we did last night?” His thumb stroked back and forth over my cheek and it was hard to concentrate on what he was saying. Just a simple touch and I was eager for him. Eager for more.

  “You know I did,” I countered. “I screamed your name loud enough.” I grumbled the last and he lifted my chin up a little more, talking to me between kisses.

  “Do not be ashamed of what we do. It is perfect. Special. Unique. And if you want to spread your legs nice and wide for me, thrashing about as I lick your perfect pussy, then that’s what I’ll do.”

  His words painted a vivid image almost as hot as a caress of his skilled tongue had been on my tender folds.

  He grew serious and his teasing kisses stopped. “Have I pleased you, Lexi? Do you dream of another man’s hands on your body, his tongue making you cry out?”

  Was he out of his mind? I shook my head, but held his gaze. “I don’t want anyone else.”

  His gaze heated. “Good. Your body, your orgasms are just for me. I am a very possessive mate.”

  “Your body and orgasms are just for me too, then.”

  “Just for you,” he confirmed. “I claimed one of your virginities last night. Did I please you? Are you ready for more?”

  His gaze dipped to my mouth and he slid his thumb to run over my bottom lip, then pushed into my mouth. I licked at the tip before sucking on it, just as I had his cock. Yes, he’d definitely claimed my mouth.

  “You did a very good job and you know it.”

  He grinned, forcing a smile from me as I released his thumb. The warmth in his eyes set me at ease, but not completely. I was nervous. I couldn’t help it. “I am nervous. I’m trying not to be. But I didn’t say I didn’t want this.” I shook my head. “I said I shouldn’t want this. But I do. I shouldn’t want you to fuck my ass, but I do.”

  His eyes flared then with heat and he took my hand and led me down the hall once again, this time our pace was a little quicker. I took in his large shoulders, his powerful frame and drop-dead gorgeous face. He was too good to be true, and he was leading me to his room to take my body in a way I’d never dared imagine, let alone want.

  But I did now. I wanted whatever he would do to me, knew I would experience nothing but sensual bliss under his touch.

  Oh. My. God. Three days ago I was on Earth, a virgin hoping that there was some guy out there that might be interested in me. Might be interested in making me come, possibly before he did. Might find my curves hot.

  And now I was going to have Von’s thick cock—and I knew how thick it was because it had been deep down my throat the night before—claim my ass. My ass! I’d never even considered anal sex until the three virginities were explained. I’d been so focused on old-fashioned sex, a man filling my vagina, that I hadn’t considered anything el
se.

  I wanted to do this. Perhaps I’d been injected with not just an NPU for language processing, but a slut button and Von had not only found it, he’d pushed it. Hard.

  He’d said that besides dream sharing, we’d also become more and more horny for each other as time passed, that the need to claim each other was deeply rooted in our newly awakened marks. He said the desire that flowed between marked mates was fierce and undeniable. I believed him now. I was eager for this. For him. Anything we would do together would be all right as long as he was touching me, making me his.

  When the door to his room closed behind us, I looked about. His rooms were similar to the suite I shared with the girls, only smaller. It seemed the men didn’t share. This worked for me because while the idea of someone seeing me with Von at the restaurant would have been embarrassing. This? This needed to be done all alone.

  “Take off your clothes.”

  Chapter Thirteen

  Lexi

  Spinning on my pretty heels, I saw Von leaning against the closed door with his arms crossed. He was watching me with a gaze so heated I was surprised my dress didn’t burst into flames.

  “Don’t you want to help?”

  Slowly, he shook his head.

  What was it about a man in uniform? So commanding, so bold. I wanted to do just as he said.

  “I want to see what’s underneath. Our dream sharing only goes so far. I want to see all of you tonight.” His gaze drifted over every inch of me, from my toes to the tip of my head. “I want to taste you everywhere, every inch, Lexi.”

  I shivered. Hell yeah, I wanted that too. I reached behind me, trying to find the buttons of my dress. Frustrated I turned, giving him my back. “I can’t get out of the dress alone.”

  The soft sound of his boots on the thick carpet as he neared had me closing my eyes in anticipation. When his fingertips traced the back of my shoulders and neck before wandering down my spine to the top of the dress, I swayed into him, wanting more than just the small ends of his fingers on my skin.

  With deft fingers, he undid the buttons one by one. Once loose, I spun back around, holding the bodice in place.

  The top swells of my breasts were exposed little by little as I lowered it. When I saw his eyes watch the motion, I slowed down. My thoughts of being taunted and jeered for my full breasts, ample hips and round butt cooled some of my eagerness. “I’m not…thin.”

  He smiled. “By the Divine, no you are not.”

  I wasn’t sure what that meant, but he appeared eager to see my body. Arms crossed, I hoped his reaction was a true one, but years of doubt, of chubby girl taunts on the school bus and the skinny girls giggling and laughing at me in the locker room rose to the fore and I froze.

  Von lifted his gaze to mine. “I want to see your soft body, mate. Show me what’s mine.” He returned his attention to my chest, just tilted his chin to indicate I should continue, his words slipping through my body like warm caramel heating my blood.

  “I’m going to get lost in your breasts. They’ll overflow my palms and your nipples will be taut and full in my mouth. When I suck on them, the hard little tips will press against my tongue. Your hips, as you said, are curvy. Perfect for gripping as I fuck you. And your ass?”

  He glanced up, his eyes a dark blue. So vivid. So alive. So fucking eager.

  “Plump. A perfect cushion for my hips every time I slam into you, my cock buried deep. Tonight, when I take your ass, when I stretch you open so perfectly, I’ll watch your flesh quiver and shake as I claim you.”

  My hands had stopped at his words. Heat pulsed through me in a carnal wave. I’d never thought about my body that way before. Was that how he saw me? For the first time since I was ten and I started to develop, I felt pretty. I felt desired. With renewed eagerness, I let the dress drop from my fingers and onto the floor. Von’s quick intake of breath was my reward, his hands actually shook as he lifted them to my face.

  “Fuck, Lexi. I should punish you for wearing things beneath your dress, but I’m overwhelmed. No more panties, mate.” He lowered his head to steal a kiss and I felt the truth of his desire in the kiss, in the tenderness of his touch. And I felt gorgeous, which was a small miracle all by itself. “You’re gorgeous.”

  He broke the kiss and stepped back, his gaze roving, taking his time. “I want you, Lexi. You’re beautiful, mate. By the Divine, you’re perfect.”

  I didn’t look down at myself, but at him watching me. I knew he could see my corset and panties, my heels.

  Before I could blink, he’d stripped everything from me, easily forgotten on the floor. He was on me then, lifting me up and carrying me across the room to the bed.

  “Von! Put me down. I’m too heavy.”

  I heard the swat to my bottom a split second before I felt it.

  “Do not belittle yourself.”

  “But—”

  “Do you want me to spank you again?”

  He tossed me onto the bed and I bounced and came up onto my knees, but he gripped my ankle.

  The sting from his palm was minor, but the heat that flared from it made my pussy so wet and achy.

  A slow grin spread across his face. “You do.”

  “I do, what?” I asked, tugging at his hold on my ankle.

  “You do want me to spank you again.”

  “I do not!” I countered, tugging with more effort, which was completely wasted.

  “I know you, Alexis Lopez. We’ve dream shared. You’ve sucked my cock. I’ve claimed one of your virginities. You are my marked mate. You can hide nothing from me. Your pulse is racing and your skin is flushed. Your eyes are big and dark with desire. You liked the sting of my hand on your ass.”

  With a twist of his wrist, he skillfully rolled me onto my stomach. I could do nothing but gasp at the ease with which he maneuvered me.

  “You should have told me about Cosmo. You will never keep something like that from me again.”

  Reaching down, he stroked his palm over the curve of my butt, over the heat where I knew his handprint was. He spanked again, but in a different spot. My muscles tightened instinctively.

  “Tell me, Lexi. Promise me. No more secrets. I can’t protect you if you lie to me.” His hand landed on my ass again and I gasped, my entire bottom on fire. But worse, my pussy throbbed with each beat of my heart, my arousal making the plump lips actually hurt with want.

  “Von.”

  “Promise me.” One hand on the curve of my back, he slid the other hand lower and slipped one finger inside my dripping core. I was so tight, and my body clamped down on his finger like a fist making me gasp and squirm, pushing back, trying to get more of him. Yes. I wanted him. Now.

  “I promise. I promise.”

  He massaged my ass with one hand and played with my pussy with the other, spreading my wet welcome all over my pussy lips and ass. “You’re so nice and wet. I think you liked your punishment, mate.”

  I looked over my shoulder at him. His uniform so crisp and commanding. His eyes potent and definitely lethal to any defenses I may have. Hands big and I imagined quite skilled. The outline of a thick, hard cock at the front of his pants.

  Oh. My. God. There it was. His big dick. That was going to go in my ass. My mouth watered, remembering the taste of him, the feel of it, silky soft and hard against my tongue. The flared head so wide I had to stretch my lips open. So thick I had to breathe through my nose and swallow to take him deeper.

  That was going in my ass.

  This wasn’t one sided though. He would make sure I came, too. Probably more than once with that skilled tongue of his. I knew he’d make me feel good no matter how naughty the act.

  Yes, please.

  So I did the only thing a reasonable woman could do in this situation. I licked my lips and demanded he take me.

  Von growled. Literally growled. Gripping my hip, he pulled me up and back so I was on my forearms and knees. In seconds he’d knelt by the bed, his mouth clamped down in hard suction on my clit.
<
br />   “Von!” I cried.

  The heat of his tongue was almost scalding as it slid down over my tender skin.

  “Wet and delicious. You’re going to come on my mouth, then when you’re nice and soft, I’ll get this all ready for me.”

  The tip of his finger tapped my virgin hole and I gasped.

  “Yes.” It was all I could say. What else was there? I wanted to come. I wanted whatever he was going to give me. Since taking all three virginities was an Everian custom, I highly doubted that every couple on the planet would practice anal sex if the women all hated it. There would have been a revolt. Officiate Treva would have warned us just to bear it and deal with how miserable the act made us feel.

  But no. She hadn’t said that. No one mentioned it was something to endure. It seemed like Von and every mated couple knew something I didn’t. Knew how good it could feel. I’d never been with a man, so I had no idea what anything was supposed to feel like. I just knew Von made me feel good, and I trusted him. I wanted him to teach me about sex and love and pleasure. I came across the galaxy to find a man who could make me feel lust and desire like he did. I wasn’t going to deny myself a chance at pleasure now.

  With his hands on my hips, he held me in place as he ate me out. There was no other way to describe his mouth on my body because he wasn’t gentle or the least bit tender about the act. He was a parched man and my pussy juices were bringing him back to life. My clit was so sensitive to him that each press of his tongue made me moan, the suction of his lips made my fists clench in the sheets.

  With my ass up, head down, I buried my loud cries in the soft blanket, my fingers gripping it for dear life. I cried out his name again and again as the crest approached, pushing me higher and higher until I felt like I was going to shatter into so many pieces I’d never be put back together again. It was too good and when he sucked and flicked in some special way, I screamed and went stiff as my core went into a massive spasm. I forgot to breathe as the orgasm ripped through me on the inside, leaving nothing but a whimpering and submissive creature behind.
