“Riley!” Vox roared as he watched his mate’s sassy hips swaying seductively to and fro. Hell, he would be lucky if he didn’t shift and take her right there in the corridor. “Guall’s balls female, you are about to cause every male on this warship to have to seek privacy to relieve themselves if you don’t get to our living quarters right now!”
Riley turned her head and snorted in disbelief at Vox. Her big, blue eyes staring at him like he was crazy. She sat down in the middle of the corridor, shook her head and lifted a paw up as if inspecting her pink claws while she waited for him to reach her.
Pink claws? Vox shook his head. Who ever heard of painted claws?
He didn’t even want to know how she was able to paint the claws of her cat pink. He had never seen anything like it. From the looks of all the males standing in the corridor watching her with lust-filled eyes, neither had anyone else. Vox snarled out in a low dangerous tone to the warriors to get back to work.
He slowed and shaking his head at his wayward mate. Ever since she woke up in the training room, it had been a challenge to get anything done. Between wanting to fuck her in both her two-legged and four-legged form and trying to keep her isolated as he sensed her going into heat, he had been trying to finalize preparations for their return to the planet. On top of that, Riley had taken to shifting back and forth at random and unexpected moments. It was driving both him and his cat crazy as they were both in a highly sexually charged state.
He also needed to inform his parents and other siblings that he had mated. He could only imagine how his father and mother were going to react to that. He might be the King of Sarafin since his father stepped down to spend more time as a diplomat for their world but he still respected his father’s knowledge, skills and power. He knew his father expected him to fulfill the terms of the treaty even though there was no way he could do it now.
Vox stopped and looked down at Riley for a few seconds before he knelt down on one knee in front of her. He chuckled and shook his head when she ran her long, slender tongue along his neck as he bent closer to her. He threaded his fingers through the hair along her jaw and ran them up until he could pull gently on her right ear.
“You have no idea the mayhem you are causing, do you?” Vox asked quietly as he stroked her.
Within the blink of an eye, Riley was sitting in front of him in her two-legged form. “Oh!” She huffed out, blinking up at Vox with wide startled eyes. “I’m still working on the shifting thing.”
Vox’s eyes widened before they closed half way. “You have to remember what you are wearing when you shift as well, my beautiful little mate,” he groaned huskily. “I am going to have to kill every male on board the warship if they see you like this.”
“What?” Riley asked confused before looking down and realizing she was wearing just her camisole and a pair of dainty matching boxers. “Oh shit!”
Vox groaned as he saw her pebble-sized nipples harden into tight buds. His eyes quickly scanned the area, freezing on a supply room door. He rose up, pulling Riley behind him. Opening the door, he pulled her inside and shut it quickly behind them. He didn’t give Riley a chance to protest. Gods, his body was hard as a rock for her again. He would never get enough of her. Turning her so she was trapped against the wall in the tiny room, he gripped the silky material covering her ass and pushed it down desperately.
“Release me,” he demanded harshly. “Now Riley or neither one of us will have any clothing left to wear.”
Riley chuckled as her hands quickly moved to the front of his pants. “You can be so bossy sometimes,” she teased as her hand slipped between the loosened material of his pants and his skin. “I love the way you feel,” she admitted with a shy smile as she wrapped her hand tightly around his swollen cock as his pants fell down around his ankles.
“Gods Riley,” Vox croaked out as his eyes rolled back as she began sliding her hand back and forth from the base of his cock to the tip and back again.
He braced his hands against the wall on each side of her head, groaning in pleasure. He didn’t trust himself to not hurt her as sharp waves of need and desire rushed through him to settle heavily in his balls. He leaned his head back, closed his eyes and breathed deeply hoping to get some type of control over his body. He was trying to recite the training lectures from his youth when all thought disappeared as his mind became a haze of ecstasy.
A shudder shook his body and his head fell forward as he watched in disbelief as his mate replaced her hand with her mouth. Never in his existence would he have allowed a female of his species to do what his mate was doing. Gods, he had never even dreamed of it! A Sarafin female had sharp teeth like the male. They were not known for being very gentle during sex either. A male chanced losing his manhood should the female become too rough or enraged during sex. He had never heard of a male risking such an injury. Now, he panted as he watched the most erotic sight he had ever seen in his life being performed by his mate.
“You taste so good,” Riley purred out as she ran her smooth teeth up his length. “I’ve wanted to do this to you ever since you made love to me the first time.”
Vox’s hands curled into tight fists as he watched her tongue flick out over the tip of his cock, licking the dewy drops of pre-cum before she sucked almost the whole length of him into her hot mouth. His gasps filled the small room and his body shook with the effort it took not to collapse in a puddle as she sucked harder and harder, her lips wrapped tightly around his thick cock. He knew it must be difficult for her but she breathed through her nose and continued sliding her head up and down, twisting and turning before pulling all the way out until he heard the slight pop as the tip of his cock slid out between her rosy lips. He sucked in a deep breath only to lose it in a loud swooshing sound as she repeated her assault again and again until his balls were so tight from holding back that he thought they were going to explode.
“Now,” he hissed out hoarsely. “I need you now!”
Riley was totally oblivious to the effect she was having on Vox. She was focused on the pleasure she was receiving from exploring him in a way she had only read about and from the X-rated videos Grandma Pearl sent her for her last birthday. She, out of respect for her Grandmother of course, had to watch all of them – multiple times – so she wouldn’t hurt Pearl’s feelings. She was finding out that watching something like this and doing it were two totally different things. She had sat in awed shock and a little bit of skepticism when she had watched the videos. While they had been interesting, this was pure unadulterated pleasure.
“What?” She asked breathlessly when she found herself being lifted roughly.
“This is what,” Vox growled out between gritted teeth as he stepped forward and lifted her so she was forced to lift her legs and wrap them around his waist.
Riley leaned forward, wrapping her arms around his neck as he pushed into her with one powerful thrust, impaling her. Her screams were muffled by his neck as he pulled back, gripping her thighs in his huge hands before he thrust up into her again and again, moving faster and faster until both of them were shaking. Riley felt her vagina clench and begin to spasm in rippling waves as the heat of his cock rubbing back and forth against her slick channel pulled on over-sensitive nerves until she was having one pulsing orgasm after another. Afraid someone would hear the scream trying to burst from her lips, she leaned forward and bit down hard on the curve between Vox’s shoulder and neck instead. His loud roar hurt her ears as he exploded deep inside her. She quaked as the hot streams of his seed poured deep inside her. She felt him swell to the point she moaned at the discomfort of it.
It feels like he is trying to lock himself to me and never let go, Riley thought in a daze.
“If it was possible, I would do it,” Vox groaned out as his body jerked over and over uncontrollably. “I swear if it was possible I would lock myself to you and never, ever let you go.”
Riley had no idea she had muttered her thoughts aloud until he responded to her. “I can f
eel you moving deep inside me,” she whispered as a light but consistent tugging pulled at her womb.
“I am giving you my cub, Riley,” he admitted hoarsely. “You carry our young now.”
Riley’s head dropped to his shoulder as shock washed through her. The tugging continued, as if he was trying to bury himself inside her. She shivered as she replayed his words in her mind. Cubs, he was giving her his cubs. In her mind, she had a mental image of her giving birth and looking at a bunch of hairy kittens. She shook her head in disbelief. That was impossible. They were two different species. There was no way they could have babies!
Our baby, her cat purred in contentment as the tugging slowly faded.
Riley’s head jerked up so fast she bumped Vox in the jaw. She stared at him with wide, frightened eyes. “Baby?”
Vox released her left thigh so he could brush her hair back as he continued to press her body against the wall. “I was very excited. I could not resist,” he said with a mischievous grin.
Riley’s eyes narrowed as she saw the smug grin on his face. “I hope you are joking!” She growled out as she wriggled against him as the full meaning of what he and her cat was saying sunk in.
His eyes closed as he felt her squeezing his cock as he pulled out of her slowly. “No,” he groaned as his cock slid free from her warmth. “I can’t wait to see you rounder than you already are,” he murmured squeezing her ass as she slid her legs down.
“Rounder than I already am? What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Riley bit out shoving him until his back hit the door of the closet they were in. “I can’t believe we just got it on like a couple of teenagers in a ….” She looked around the tiny room. “You fucked me in the cleaning closet?” She asked in disbelief. “And what the hell do you mean by rounder? Are you calling me fat? I want you to know I am NOT fat! I have a mature womanly figure is all,” she said as she reached down, grabbing her lacy boxers and sliding them up her legs with a wiggle. “There is no way I can have a cub, by the way. It is physically impossible. You are an alien and I am human. Our DNA is totally incompatible making having babies out of the question,” she added as she pulled her top down.
Vox watched as Riley jerked her clothes on. His eyes followed her every movement as she elbowed him in the gut while pulling her cute little bottoms on. He had to duck as she lifted her arms to pull her top down and grab a handful of her hair. She was breathing with quick, little puffs like she was fighting for air.
“Pull your pants up!” She snapped out as she twisted her hair up into a messy ponytail. “Everyone is going to know exactly what we were doing in here!” She practically wailed as she felt the dampness between her thighs from his seed.
He wasn’t about to tell her most of the crew would already know, if not from his roar then from him dragging her into … Vox grimaced when he realized he had taken his mate in the small room reserved for cleaning materials. She was also in the beginning stages of heat, making it virtually impossible for him to ignore her even if he wanted to which he didn’t. Every male on board could smell her. That was why he had been trying to keep her contained. A female in heat could easily cause a riot on board. Breathing in deeply, he could sympathize with the other males. She smelled absolutely delicious which was why he had either Lodar or Tor guarding her when he couldn’t be with her. They were the only two he felt confident he could trust around her. Now that she was with his cub, her scent would change warning other males she was no longer ready for breeding.
“If that wasn’t enough, our combined scent would be enough to let them know,” he muttered under his breath thinking about how no one could mistake his claim now.
“What scent? Let them know what?” Riley demanded as she stared in horror as he refastened his pants.
“Riley, the Sarafin are cat-shifters. We have a very good sense of smell. It is not unusual for males to be able to smell when other males have had sex with a female,” he explained.
“Are you telling me they can smell us – together – what we just did?” She asked feeling sick to her stomach.
“Of course,” Vox replied not understanding why she was so upset.
This would be worse than Todd Patterson at a high school dance. Then, he and his friends had only thought about what they would do with her. If what Vox said was true, all the warriors on board would know exactly what they had been doing in the cleaning closet! Riley’s face flamed at the thought of all the men staring at her like she was some kind of two-bit tramp. After all, it wasn’t like her and Vox were married. That was one of the things she had always sworn would happen before she gave in to a guy. She looked at her bare finger and tears formed in her eyes. She had done it again. She had forgotten about her cardinal rule to remain firm on a ring and marriage. It was true Vox had promised her forever but he hadn’t followed it up with even a suggestion of either. Now, he was talking about her having babies! It was her worst nightmare coming to life. She was about to become a single mom just like her mom and her grandma.
Vox frowned when he saw Riley’s mouth tighten in hurt and determination. “What is wrong? Do you not want my cub?” He asked offended by her denial of their compatibility and being upset that other males would recognize his scent on her.
Riley pushed her hair out of her eyes where it had fallen and tried to push the loose strands up into her ponytail. “I want a ring- and marriage as soon as possible! I won’t have any baby unless we are married.”
Vox was not sure what this ‘marriage’ was but he knew one thing, she would be having his cub with or without it. He took a menacing step closer and growled down at her in warning. He would not tolerate her thinking she would not carry his cub.
“You will carry my cub without ‘marriage’. You have no choice in the matter, it is already done,” he snapped, waving his hand curtly in front of her face. “If you try to deny it, I will lock you up.”
Riley’s eyes flashed in fury. “Well, if you want a kid you have to marry me first. If you don’t, you can forget it! I’ll be the only one claiming her.”
“You would try to deny me my heir?” He hissed out in disbelief. “I am Vox d’Rojah, King of the Sarafin Warriors and leader of my people,” he snarled. “You will not tell me what to do! I tell you! It is time for you to learn how to be submissive to me when I give a command!”
“I don’t care if you were the President of the Universe!” Riley growled back. “I am no one’s submissive. If you want submissive, go practice bending over and kissing your own ass in the mirror because it won’t be me doing it.”
“Guall’s balls, Riley,” Vox swore. “I have never allowed anyone to talk to me that way.”
“Well, maybe if they did you wouldn’t be such a horse’s ass!” She snapped back.
“You will obey me in this or I will make you,” he vowed.
“You and whose army?” She snorted back. “I want a ring and marriage or I am totally out of here!”
Vox swore under his breath. He did not know what this ‘marriage’ was or why she suddenly wanted jewelry but he would be damned by the Gods before he gave it to her before she agreed to have his cub! How dare she say she wouldn’t have his son unless he gave her marriage! He could understand the ring. Even the females of his world liked jewelry but if this ‘marriage’ thing was something from her world then she would just have to wait. He would ask Viper to bring it back with him the next time he talked to him. He would keep it safe but he wouldn’t tell Riley about it until he had it in his hand and could force her to agree to his terms. He wouldn’t hand it over to her until he had her promise to obey him. It was about time she learned he was the male and she was the female. It was her place to do as he said!
Vox smiled sharply down at her furious face. “I have no need for an army. You do not go anywhere unless I say,” he stated coldly.
“We’ll just see about that!” She replied quickly reaching beside him and slapping her hand on the panel to open the door.
Vox grunted as he fell back
wards out of the door as it gave way behind him. He landed on his back with a very furious, very determined white female tiger with blazing blue eyes staring down at him. She showed her teeth and snarled before she placed her left back paw squarely on his crotch and pushed down. Vox sucked in a breath hoping she wouldn’t extend her claws to match the weight of the pressure she was applying. He understood the warning. He was in a very nerve-racking position at the moment and she was in no mood to negotiate who should be submissive, it wasn’t going to be her.
“Riley,” he bit out with a grimace of discomfort as he looked up into her snarling face. “Don’t you dare.”
The huge white tiger snorted before leaping off him and running down the corridor. Vox let his head drop back to the floor where he stared up at the ceiling until another face came into his view. He looked up into the sympathetic eyes of his chief engineer.
“What did you do this time?” Tor asked as he held out his hand to his friend and leader. “She looked as pissed as a Traline slug,” he added referring to a nasty little creature on their planet that oozed puss when threatened.
Vox reached up and grabbed Tor’s hand. “She insisted I gave her something called ‘marriage’ and jewelry when I told her I had given her my cub. She refuses to have my son without the items.”
“So, give them to her,” Tor said as he watched Vox straighten his shirt and run his hand over the back of his neck.
“I will once she agrees to having my cub and submitting to me,” Vox replied with determination. “She is the most stubborn, hard-headed, demanding.....”
Tor drew in a deep breath and sighed in envy. “Sexy, beautiful, unusual.....”
