TylOR leaned forward. “Lieutenant, I wish I could keep you here with me. I haven’t been able to get him to shut up in months.”
Con growled. He couldn’t stop himself. “She is not here for your use.”
Lucy glared at Con. What the hell was he doing? He didn’t own her. If she decided to stay with the Kiljorns or even the Colonists, that was her decision to make. She didn’t want to make a bigger scene though.
“Excuse me. I need to report in to Prime Commander KydEL on my digital tablet before we leave the Katieran Solar System.” She stood and left the table.
It was true that she needed to check in with KydEL at some point, but that was just her excuse. Why did things seem so complicated all of a sudden? She and ConEL had shared a spontaneous, hot sexual experience. Neither one declared their undying love or anything. Now she was getting jealous of other women and he was acting possessive.
She was about to open the door to her quarters when a large hand on her shoulder her stopped her. She knew that hand. It belonged to ConEL. She turned to face him.
“What do you want?”
ConEL slid the door open to her quarters and pushed her through to go inside. He didn’t give her a chance to refuse. He took her lips in a demanding kiss. He devoured her as if he was dying of thirst and her kiss was the only thing that would keep him alive.
She tried to push him away. At least that was her attempt, but it was futile. He was too strong and she was not strong enough to resist him. As soon as he gave her lips a small break, she asked him one thing while she could still think clearly.
“What about TorEL?”
“TylOR is taking Tor and the other females on a tour of the transport ship for a few hours.”
“Oh…okay.”
He gripped her top and shredded it down the middle. She gasped as she tried to cover her bra-covered breasts. She was glad she had put on her red bra and matching panties.
“Do not cover such beauty up,” ConEL whispered as he gently moved her hands away. He reached out a finger and gently skimmed over the smooth red material. “I have never seen such a thing before.”
“It’s a bra. It holds everything up and in place.”
“Pretty, but I think I will prefer you without it. How do you remove it? I have already ripped your shirt because this is too nice to do that to.”
Well at least he was being thoughtful. “It unhooks from the back.” She removed the rest of her torn shirt and threw it down to the floor. She reached behind her back and undid the bra hooks. Her hands shook a little as she slowly lowered the straps down her arms.
“Oh Goddess, you are so beautiful.” He dropped to his knees and pressed his face against her chest. He rubbed his face against her soft mounds.
Lucy shivered when his mouth latched onto her nipple. He used his hands to cup and massaged her breasts. When he sucked her hard into his mouth, Lucy grasped with pleasure.
“You taste…so good.”
“ConEL.” Lucy’s knees felt weak.
ConEL released her breasts with his hands turning his head to suckle on the other neglected nipple. His hands traveled down her waist and flat stomach. He unbuttoned her pants and dragged them slowly down her legs. He frowned he couldn’t completely remove them because her boots blocked the path. He stopped to remove her boots and then finally got her pants off. He pulled away from her breasts so he could gaze at the rest of her.
Lucy shivered and goose bumps spread all over her body. The only thing she was wearing was red bikini style panties. The lace on the front made it almost see through. The way he devoured her with his eyes made her cream her panties. She knew he would smell her. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then growled. It was the sexiest damn thing she had ever heard and it somehow caused her pussy to throb even more. No one told her that their growls could almost make her come. Fuck!
ConEL stood and began to unbutton his shirt. He loved the way her dark eyes followed his every movement. He pulled the shirt off revealing his hard chiseled chest. He unconsciously rubbed his scars across his stomach and abs. He had more scars, all over his body. Scars that were so deep the nanos could not completely heal him. He hoped they did not disgust Lucy. She didn’t seem to be. Her breathing became rapid and he could smell her desire for him.
He unfastened his pants and dropped them to the floor. He encountered the same problem having not removed his boots first. His thinking wasn’t exactly straight when it came to her. He was just so anxious to be with her. She was not the first female he had shared sex with since his mate.
The Morins had forced him to be intimate with other females for years. They used his mate and son to force him to comply. Once his body no longer functioned for them, they began to look for viable specimens until TorEL was old enough to use.
He shook his head and focused on the moment right now. He was free to be with any female he wished, but he did not desire anyone else other than the one before him. He didn’t want to question himself about that. He just wanted to feel.
He kicked his boots off and then stepped out of his pants. Katierans didn’t wear underclothes like Earth females did. His member stood out long, thick, and fully primed. A little of his pre-cum seeped from his tip. He watched as Lucy eyed him and licked her lips. She was killing him with need and desire.
Lucy had never seen a more perfect man. The scars he had only made him look more dangerous and sexy. When he freed himself of his pants and his penis presented itself, she nearly came right then.
She approached him slowly and lowered herself to her knees. That’s exactly what the man did to her. He brought her to her knees with his sad eyes, quiet demeanor, and his big beautiful cock. What woman could resist him? She couldn’t.
She took his member into her hands. He was so big she needed both hands to wrap around him. Leaning forward, she licked the pre-cum off his tip. More produced immediately and she licked that as well.
Surprise was the first reaction she had at her first taste of him. His semen was sweet, like a candy apple. She loved candy apples. She took him into her mouth creating a tight suction around him. Using her hands, she began to pump him. He was too big and long to take all the way to the back of her throat, but she took him as far as she could and used her hands to manipulate him.
When he growled at her twisting motions, she repeated it again and again. More of his taste released and she sucked it down and licked the underside of his head. That was when he gripped her head holding her in place.
“Lucy!” he shouted out as he pumped his release inside her hot tight mouth.
She sucked and licked. She kept her hands on him, milking him. She let go with one hand and reached under him. She lightly ran her fingers over his ball sack. She massaged him using long gentle pulling motions. It caused him to erupt again instantly.
“Kitana!” ConEL could not believe. The female had him release twice in rapid succession. Katierans had a fast recovery rate but with her, it was instantaneous. He was ready for more. He had to pull her off him before he spent their whole time together releasing in her mouth. He wanted to be deep inside her. He had become obsessed with this need over the last few months.
She looked up at him with a dazed expression. He had pulled out the tie holding her hair back and now her dark ebony tresses flowed over her shoulders and down her back. She was the most striking female he had ever seen. He felt a flash of guilt for thinking that, but he pushed the thought away. He needed inside her. He was even more desperate after having her pleasure him that he needed to give her the same.
He bent down and lifted her up, grateful that he worked so hard to rebuild his strength. He carried her to the bed and lowered her down on the mattress. He laid down on top of her fitting perfectly within the junction of her thighs. It was as if she was made for him.
Lucy reached up her hand clasping the back of his head pulling him down to her lips. She loved his kisses. She melted into him when his lips took hers. It was like her breath left her body
and entered his and his breath come into hers. All they did was kiss and she felt a connection she never felt with her husband. No, she didn’t want to think about her husband or any other man. This was the only man she wanted to think of.
She kissed him back with all the desire and passion she felt inside. Her tongue dueled with his. She opened her legs wider allowing him to have further entrance to her. He rocked himself against her just brushing her soft folds. She moaned with need.
She turned her head a little to break their kiss. “Con, please. I want you inside me.”
He reached down to make sure she was ready for him. His fingers were coated with her juices. He plunged a finger inside her feeling her clamp down on him immediately. Oh yes, he wanted to be inside her, too.
He removed his finger smiling when she whimpered and raised her hips higher, wanting him to come back to her. He placed his tip at her entrance making circular motions, coating himself to ease his entrance.
“Please…” Lucy begged him to hurry.
He slowly eased his way inside of her. His cock was squeezed so tightly that he was almost pushed back out. This was going to take a great deal of concentration. He realized that it must have been a long, long time since Lucy had been with a man for her body to be so resistive. It would not have mattered if she had, but secretly, it did please him to be her first male in a while.
She lifted her hips higher seeking more of him. Her arms were wrapped around him holding him to her as their bodies slid against one another. Skin against skin, hard against soft. The contrast left her breathless.
“Deeper, go deeper,” she whispered to him.
Yes, deeper. He plunged himself deeper into her until he was inside to the hilt. He stayed there for a moment letting her adjust to him. Oh, Goddess, she felt incredible. His breathing was heavy from exerting his control. Now that he was fully inside, he was on the verge of losing that control.
“Don’t move. If you move, I won’t be able to be gentle for you,” he warned against her neck when she tried to wiggle.
“Who needs gentle?” She bit his earlobe just enough to cause the reaction she was looking for.
ConEL growled as he gave up the control. He pulled out and slammed back into her. He pushed her arms back over her head holding her so she wouldn’t distract him. He pounded into her harder and harder. It felt so good, so damn good.
Lucy was never one to like being held down, but he wasn’t hurting her. In fact, she enjoyed it more. She felt secure in his grasp. Her only complaint was that she couldn’t touch him as she wanted to. She did the only thing she could do. She raised her long legs up high over his hips and locked her ankles together. It allowed him a deeper penetration.
“Fuck yes! Like that!”
ConEL growled. He couldn’t form words to respond back. It was the most painfully exquisite thing he had ever experienced. No female ever responded to his touch the way she did. She gave him her complete trust.
He ground himself into her deeper. He wanted her screaming for him. He wanted her to remember who gave this pleasure and to know that no other male could ever make her feel this way. He held back saying what he was thinking, ‘MINE’. Instead, he called out her name.
“Lucy!”
“ConEL!”
They both yelled out their release. ConEL pulled out of her just a fraction of a second before he let himself go all over her thighs and stomach. He had not intended to scent mark her, but he wasn’t sorry for having done it. He was worried about the thoughts of her being his and his alone. His possessiveness did not make sense to him. It was almost as if she was his mate, but his mate was long dead. Lucy was just a female he shared a heated sexual relationship with. That was all it could ever be for him.
Lucy frowned when Con pulled out of her. He laid down beside her on the bed. She leaned up on her elbows to look at him. The expression on his face wasn’t what she had expected from having the best sex ever. At least it had been the best for her.
“Is something wrong?”
“No.”
She turned onto her side and reached out a hand to run it up and down his arm. He jerked away from her touch. Something was definitely wrong.
“ConEL?”
“I need to go and check on TorEL.” He stood and went for his clothes.
Lucy sat up on the bed reaching for a blanket to cover her up. What the fuck was going on? They had the best sex and all of a sudden he’s ready to leave and pretend it didn’t happen. She thought only Earthmen did the wham, bam thank you ma’am shit. Obviously, it had meant more to her than it did to him.
She didn’t look at him, afraid she might beg him to come back to bed or she might break down in tears.
ConEL looked back at her when he got to the door. She looked so beautiful, well fucked, but extremely sad. He had done all of that to her. He wished he could explain to her how he was feeling, but he didn’t quite understand it himself. He was so confused.
“I’ll see you later,” he told her. All she did was nod her head. What is wrong with him?
*****
ConEL found the others by the docking bay. Commander TylOR was talking about the differences in the warships. He nodded at the other male.
“I hope TorEL wasn’t too much trouble,” he whispered to Dr. Garrett. He looked around but did not see his son.
She turned and smiled. The female was quite lovely. Any male would be lucky to have her. “He was extremely well-behaved. He looked a little tired so one of the lieutenants escorted him back to your sleeping quarters.”
“I was wondering if I could speak with you, alone.”
Dr. Garrett looked at him then with concern. “Of course. Would you like to go back to my sleeping quarters?”
“No! I mean, not there. Somewhere private though.”
“I am sure we could use one of the other sleeping quarters.”
He nodded his head and led her away from the group. They found an empty room, two doors down from Lucy’s sleeping quarters. He closed the door behind them.
This room had one chair and one bed. ConEL let Dr. Garrett pick where she would like to sit. Her gaze lingered on the bed but then she sat down in the chair.
“How can I help you, Prime ConEL?”
“You can call me ConEL. I’m not really your patient anymore.”
“I know, but it is hard to change a relationship once it is established. We are therapist and patient. I will have a hard time adjusting. Technically I am no longer your therapist. We only have two or three more times to meet for assessment only. But this is not why you brought me here.”
“I shared sex with her.”
Dr. Garrett blinked for a moment. The Katierans’ bluntness always surprised her. “By her you mean Lieutenant Daniels?”
“Yes. We shared sex less than an hour ago.”
“This bothers you?”
“Not the sex. It was…the most incredible experience I have ever had.”
She gulped. She really needed to find herself a man to relieve her own needs. “But something did bother you?”
He slumped onto the bed. “I wanted to claim her. I had to fight those urges to make her mine.”
“Why would you have to fight it?”
“Because I had a mate.”
“People can have more than one.”
“Not me.”
“Why not you?”
He looked away not wanting to answer her. Shouldn’t it be obvious why he couldn’t have another mate?
“ConEL, why not you?”
“Because, I don’t deserve another. I don’t deserve her.”
“What happened to your mate, MariELa, was not your fault.”
“Feels that way to me.”
“You have to forgive yourself. It was not in your control.”
“Forgiving is a hard thing for me to do.”
“Try, ConEL. The alternative is to live a half-life, never to the fullest.”
He shook his head. He knew this in his head, but his heart an
d soul were so confused and torn. He wanted to remain faithful to MariELa, but he knew she would want him to move on with his life and to find another. It was a difficult situation.
“Thanks for meeting with me on such short notice.”
“It was my pleasure.”
They got up and walked out of the sleeping quarters together. Neither one noticed the figure standing partway in the doorway two doors down.
Lucy pulled back so she wasn’t seen. She punched the wall on the side of the door as hard as she could to let all her anger, frustration, and hurt out.
“Son of a bitch!”

Chapter Thirteen
“How did you say this happened?” the young medic asked.
“I fell and hit the floor with my hand,” Lucy replied with a deadened voice. She sounded about as dead as she felt on the inside.
He inserted the nanos into her arm after he programmed what they needed to heal. He snorted. “Did you fall on it repeatedly until it was bloody and almost broken?”
She didn’t answer him. She stared at a spot on the wall behind him. Honestly, she was grateful to feel the pain in her hand so she didn’t concentrate on the pain that knifed through her heart.
How could she have been so stupid? Just because she was starting to feel something for the man did not mean he wanted a relationship with her. He hadn’t spilled his seed within her, which is usually the unofficial way that Katieran males claim their mates. At least, that’s what Jaxon and Cassie told her. However, ConEL had not done that either time they were together.
“It may take a while before your hand is feeling better,” the medic told her.
“Thanks. Do you think I can stay here for a while and rest?”
“Of course. Is there anything else I can help you with?”
“Would you be able to send someone to my quarters to get my digital tablet? I have to report in to Prime Commander KydEL.”
“I will notify Commander TylOR of your request.”
“Thanks.”
She laid down on the little bed and tried to close her eyes. She did not want to cry. She would not cry over him. The man had issues.
