Domestic Duet: Domestic Alliance & Asset

by Cora Blu

  “Yes!”

  Aroc growled, his face inches from hers as she relaxed, flopping to his chest. Cool air caressed her back as he pushed the towel from her waist where it puddled to the counter. Reaching between them, Aroc ran his knuckles over the taut nipples, a slow torturous movement. Arching into the touch, she released a moan.

  He stepped under the overhead sprayer, and the large droplets of water showered down over him. He tugged her against his chest. Her nipples puckered behind every wicked brush from his smooth skin.

  She held her face against his heart, listening to the manic beat she’d learned was normal, then wrapped her arms around his body and knew this was where she’d wanted to be. Here, with Aroc. Picking up a sponge, she washed blood spattered across his chest and shoulders, then down around his back and legs. She scrubbed him head to toe the way she had when he’d first kidnapped her and it gave her a sense of being needed. Hot water cascaded down his chest over the chiseled planes of his torso.

  It had been only a year ago she’d learned of his kind. She was a housekeeper in the south for the last eight years and now she held a prestigious title of detective for a secret mission by the government and the alien federation on a space station.

  Her life had changed so much she hadn’t fully taken it in until now. They were about to do the equivalent of marriage. Today, tonight, right now was her karuntee wedding day and no one would know. That wasn’t true. It mattered to the two of them and that’s what counted.

  As if he could hear her thinking, Aroc fingered her hair under the water, moving it out from over her eyes to look into her face. The warm water pouring through the lengths washed down her back in a soft caress. She closed her fist around his cock, her thumb playing over the head of the smaller one close to his groin drawing out the slick juices pearling over the swollen heads. Loving the caress, she hesitated, prolonging his torture and her own.

  Sadie peeked up to see him spiraling into a blank abyss. “I love how responsive they are to my touch, especially down here where the skin is softer.”

  Aroc smiled, his expression wicked. He moistened his lips with a slow swipe of his tongue. He leisurely searched between her thighs with his hand coaxing her legs apart. One thick digit found her entrance, working her gently before he pinched her folds between his fingers, rolling them back and forth. The pleasure spread like warm honey, slow and sweet. It covered every nerve on its way up to wrap around her tight nipples. She sighed as he pinched her a second time.

  “Loving you changed my life, Sadie.”

  The desire to have him inside filling every inch of her became overwhelming, but they needed a few more strokes to loosen her body so she could accept all he offered.

  She moaned. “Aroc…”

  He squeezed liquid soap down over her back, letting it run between her cheeks and thighs. She felt it on his fingers, as they became slicker between her folds. The touch of his fingers danced across her skin, the sensation unfurling as if a flower under the warm morning sun.

  The almond-honey scent filled the air. His teeth nipped over the surface of her chin, tickling her skin, and sending a shiver down to her toes now slowly curling from what his fingers were doing to her a few inches south of her naval.

  He growled over her mouth, his fingers going deeper, swirling around in the tight, hot space. More. Sadie arched her back, wrapped one leg over the swell of his muscled behind, and braced herself on his shoulders when he lifted her with little effort off her feet. Her mouth went slack. His thumb wiggled against her clit in time to his fingers delving deep inside her, working her senseless.

  The insane pleasure swallowed her whole, taking her body on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Hunger ran wild. Dipping her face, she devoured his mouth, sucking and tasting him, molding her fingers to the back of his smooth head. Aroc continued stroking her clit.

  Sprays of water from the shower tickled her lips. Under a sensual growl, her skin pebbled. Aroc licked the drops one long stroke after another.

  A fierce pressure built in her stomach the more his fingers moved inside her along with his torturous tongue. Close to fracturing around his hand, Sadie wriggled her hips until the first press of his knuckle rubbed her mound.

  It was too much. She cursed out along his shoulder, her hips bucking into him, working the tension he caused between her thighs. The flutter of her climax continued, urging her to dig her nails into his back. Spikes rose like iron gates down the center of wine-colored muscles. With the stainless steel tiles at his back, Aroc clenched his teeth and fought to keep his spikes from rising to their full three inch fighting length.

  Sadie shook then sank into his arms. The pounding of her heartbeat made it hard to breathe. The strength of his arms around her was the only thing keeping her on her feet under the tender kissing he dotted over her mouth. Giving in, she offered him her tongue, which he accepted greedily. The sounds behind each suck, moan, and slurp filled the air. Normally she hated those wet sounds people made, but today they were music strumming sensually along the surface of her skin.

  Eyes trained on his, loving his intense concentration, she whispered over his lips, “Don’t hide your desire from me. Release your spikes and show me what I do to this body just being close.” She rubbed the pad of one finger around the smooth ring of cartilage through his skin, where the spike would emerge soft and pliable. Aroc hissed. “I see how much of your energy it takes to hold them back when you’re aroused.”

  He shuddered. Heat from his back penetrated her fingers. The spikes shot out, soft and pliable at first then slowly hardening to their three-inch dagger-like stage with each stroke of her palm over his back along his spine.

  Aroc gasped, and his shoulders hunched forward when he pressed a kiss to her mouth.

  She nodded, anxious to get him in the room and have her way with him on the floor. Her bed couldn’t hold his weight. He was solid, almost as if his bones were harder than human bones.

  He lifted her from the shower with her arms hooked around his neck, then carried her into her guest room down away from Norese sleeping in her bed.

  Mouths fused as they padded across the room. Sadie found the tips of her toes brushing the warm floor before Aroc set her carefully on the soles of her feet.

  “Now that I can have you naked on command, I can’t decide where to start.”

  She leaned into the hand cupping her cheek, stroking it back and forth to coast over the rise of her top lip.

  “These sexy lips are tempting me to start up here so I can hear you moan.” He traced the edge of her ear with his finger. A wicked shiver danced over her skin in a delicious caress smooth as the first taste of warm fudge on the tongue. His unwavering focus begged for her compliance, to give him everything he’d ever wanted.

  She said in a dreamy voice, “I’m all yours, Aroc. From here on out, I’m all yours.”

  “Then there’s no rush and I can torture you with my tongue, hands, and both cocks all night.”

  His proclamation brought on her slow pants. It wasn’t a tease like one used on someone they picked up at the nightclub. Not to titillate with something wild and nearly impossible to contain, but a promise of everything he’d wanted to share with her and was afraid he’d scare her with. It was a gift, long wrapped away, and he’d offered it to her on a promise.

  On her toes, she ran a hand across his chiseled jaw down to his muscled shoulder. Staring up into his hard face that she’d grown to love, Sadie felt a measure of peace. Peace in a way she’d never known.

  His lips parted. “I like that look on your face, Sadie. Floating between this moment and the one I’m about to give you, anticipation warming your pretty brown skin.”

  She held his chin with her thumb and finger, tipping his face down to hers. “You like it because you put it there…on my face…on my body…in my heart.” She sighed her words as her body hummed under the attention from his hard eyes.

  Aroc gave her his moisture-building serrated smile. “In your heart, huh,�
� he teased her. “Are you saying that’s where you keep me, Sadie, in your heart?”

  More than love, she adored him, craved his touch. “That’s exactly what I’m saying. And have been saying all evening.”

  Aroc’s eyes darkened. “Keep telling me every day. I need to hear it.” Dropping to his knees, he gripped her around her thighs lifting her off the floor and moving her center to his waiting mouth. He wasted no time with words. Letting his tongue hold the conversation between her thighs, expressing its hunger to taste and consume her in long rough licks. Rough because she’d held her body so stiff after the first stroke rocked her body that she had to concentrate to relax. Her muscle spasmed.

  “Farkus—” Her cries filled the room. Falling back on the bed, back bowing in a severe curve, her breasts jiggled. Folding her arms around her body she held that pose, as it showed him where she needed the most attention. Her brilliant beast spread her thighs around his face, draping her feet over his back, her ankles brushing the sides of his spikes. Muscles rolled and flexed under her touch, Aroc shivering behind each stroke.

  He shot her a look. Growling over the smooth skin of her stomach, he made it tremble. Ducking his head, he licked her navel. “You like teasing the beast in me.”

  She nodded. He was the beast she wanted more of and wouldn’t accept anything less than all he had to give.

  “Grr!” he said, lifting her back off the bed and lapping at her body in long hard strokes, expertly searching out the little button that would send explosives fracturing through her body.

  Cursing, Sadie squeezed her breasts to keep from digging her nails into his baldhead. Her thighs became slick from his tongue licking and sucking her.

  Her climax hit—oh lord, it hit hard—sending a jolt zinging through her system. The sensation tingled along her skin. Her eyelids flew open. The crashing waves of fire rolled through her body, sending billowing flames catching everything in its wake. After tonight, every inch of her soul would crave Aroc’s caress because she felt his stamp inside.

  Boneless, Sadie lay spent, her body slanting into his hand pressing on the mattress as her body was lifted off the bed along with the mattress he dragged down onto the floor. She sprawled out as Aroc crawled over her, guiding himself between her thighs, pushing past the entrance of the swollen flesh. It enveloped him, sucking at the length behind every thick inch.

  He was too big, too long, too much, but he fit, filled, and completely claimed every wall within her body and her soul. Every push brought her screaming. Every short thrust flung her arms out wide. But he kept up the sweet torture, going deep after a few slow controlled thrusts that only went in an inch or two before he seated himself with one long, hard push.

  The pleasure built in waves. Each thick dip and long stroke Sadie rode out, her mind, desperately grasping to process each sensation. Patiently letting her have this first ride, he remained understanding through it all, sweaty with labored breathing.

  Every growl set her body to writhing under him and when the second penis encountered her clit, Sadie muffled her screams, hollering into his pelt as he stroked and flicked her through two back-to-back orgasms.

  “Farkus!” She’d forgotten how the touch of her fingers in his pelt aroused him as if she’d dropped to her knees and licked his shaft. They were so sensitive. She’d released not just the beast, but also the alien.

  Aroc gripped her thighs, lifting her from the bed until she found her back against the upholstered bedroom wall. His hips rose, thrusting into her, while her nails clawed at his shoulders.

  She wanted this with a hunger that curled through her sex, burned in her veins, and pulsed in her fingertips. She rolled her hips. Rolled them until the heat from his flesh penetrated hers, rising up into her belly, her chest, her heart until it was in her throat and she couldn’t contain it and blew it out on a labored breath. “Yes…” She moaned, gripping his head pressed to her shoulder.

  As if he’d swallowed the heat she just expelled, Aroc’s mouth released a wave of warmth over her skin under his parted lips.

  His teeth clamped onto her shoulder. Pain slammed into her like an out-of-control train. She bucked under the searing pressure. “Aroc!”

  His grip tightened. He sucked her flesh into his mouth as his teeth imprinted themselves while he grunted and growled through his climax.

  Exhausted, they slid to the floor. Aroc cradled her in his arm, their legs tangled, lips parted. Soft lights replaced the bright glaring ones they’d left on when they came into the room.

  Sadie adored him in that moment. He let go enough to love her as he needed to as a male karuntee and not afraid to let her see him as he was…her Aroc Farkus…captain of the karuntee.

  Aroc caressed the soft skin of her inner thigh, pressing his thumb along the trembling tendon strung tight from her pelvic bone, weary from his thrusting into her moments ago. “We’ll soak these muscles in some warm karuntee salted water. It’ll ease the tension. I was rougher than I intended. I won’t apologize for making love to you until we’re both weak and sweaty and you glassy-eyed.”

  She sniffed, running her index finger around the moon tattoo above his ear, precisely the clouds appearing to float in hazy layers around the top.

  “No apology required. A warm bath sounds perfect, though.” She tasted the salt of tears on her lips.

  Aroc frowned. “Baby, why are you crying?”

  “I don’t know.” Perhaps the endorphin rush of knowing everyone was safe finally caught up to her heart.

  “I do. Kar-hon-tek-ron.”

  “It feels good to lie in your arms too,” she admitted kissing the swell of his moist chest.

  “Mommy Sadie…”

  Aroc lurched forward, dragging the blankets from the bed to cover their naked bodies. Sadie tucked it over her bare breasts as the door pushed open, revealing a sleepy Norese, huddled in a soft green nightgown with blue butterflies. The gown Sadie bought down on earth.

  Her mussed hair, ratty over her head like a cloud of soft red curls, partially covered her face. Rubbing her eyes, she stood in the shadow left outside of the dim lighting spilling over the floor.

  “Mommy Sadie…”

  Sadie’s heart swelled with pride and love. She may never be able to tell her extended family on Earth about any of this, but she had two families now.

  Aroc held his hand out to the toddler and she rushed over in the dimly lit room to them and curled over his chest with the help of his arm around her. Sadie wrapped her arm over Norese, cuddling them together. As a family, the three positioned before the viewing window studied the moon slipping into darkness to leave their world in a soft glow rising off the river below. Two weeks with no shipments. No problems. Nobody but her loved ones surrounding her in her new world.

  This was where she belonged, in love with Aroc Farkus.

  Epilogue

  Two months later…

  The bride wore a soft flowing gown in deep wine…

  Aroc Farkus stood looking out the window of the banquet hall, the reflection of his wife approaching filling his view.

  “Well, Commander, I hear you and my wife’s sister will be working on a new assignment in the hospital?”

  Oliver tore his attention away from his niece, Norese, currently eating his moon peach ice cream while perched on his lap. “One of the last shipments came from County General, loaded with dirty syringes. Captain Ryner believes with some training she’ll make a good in-house detective in a few months.”

  “If she’s anything like Sadie, she’ll get the job done.”

  Sadie moved into his side resting her face on his chest. “We’ve been married for two hours and you’re already back to talking shop.”

  “Oliver was telling me about Theresa’s new appointment in the program.”

  “I think she’ll be a great Asset, now that she’s finally accepted this as her home.”

  “We’ll miss you, Sadie,” Oliver said, a bit sullen.

  “With me off planet for the next ye
ar coordinating this new program with Ryner and getting Norese ready to begin school, I don’t have time to go back to Earth.”

  Oliver turned around as everyone noticed the same thing. Commander Montage…eyes trained on Theresa.

  Sadie raised her eyes up and back to Aroc standing behind her, his arms wrapped around her shoulders. “Honey, what did you mean when you said you’d tell me about the oceans later?”

  Aroc nuzzled her along her ear, whispering for her ears only, “There’s an entire world beneath the currents, you humans have no idea of. We supply one clean organic source of fuel for one of their vehicles.”

  “You’re lying.”

  He kissed her head. “It’s run by the tiger shark shifters, protecting the corals around the world.”

  “Now you’re just creating stories because I’m gullible where you’re concerned.”

  “Would I lie to my wife?”

  She turned in his arms placing a hand to his face. “You’re serious. Fish and mammals that can shift into human form, live in the ocean?”

  “You must never share this information with anyone. Their future relies on our alliance.”

  “This is the committee you want me to sit on, isn’t it?”

  “I can’t speak on the behalf of humans that share the waters around the world and they don’t trust them enough to bring one in. I want you to be the spokesperson for the human interest.”

  “As long as I get to work alongside you, consider me on the committee.”

  “Bakta Ron, Sadie Farkus.”

  “And you’re my warrior, Aroc Farkus.”
