The apartment was spacious and everything was new. For a bachelor’s pad, they kept it sparkling clean and had decorated it in warm, inviting colors. The multitude of car magazines and books reminded her that it was definitely a guy’s domain. She hoped her comfort level would increase when she got settled in.
Rhia felt her stomach flip. Damn. Had she made the right decision? Should she have waited a little longer before jumping right into living with him? Had she reacted too fast from all the excitement of the last several days? Everything was far from normal. She understood what Tana had explained about the possessiveness of the Insedi male for their mates, but it was still a damn relationship that would carry all the angst and crap that everyone went through, right? She jumped when a deep voice broke into her thoughts.
“You’re thinking too hard. I can see the little crease between your brows growing deeper.” She glanced over in time to see him pat his thigh. His voice dropped an octave. She swore he purposefully thickened his accent just to make her girly parts stand up and pay attention.
“Come here, baby. I need to hold you and remind you why you love me.”
Shit. He was damn good at making her forget why she was panicking. She hopped off the stool and took just one step before his big hands landed on her waist and lifted her into the air. She clamped on to his shoulders and gladly wrapped her legs around his hips. She settled on his lap and immediately felt his cock growing under her right butt cheek. He reached up and snagged her chin with his fingers.
“Look at me.”
She glanced up and was caught in the sensual net of his eyes. Fringed with thick lashes and lowered to half-mast, he was letting her know real fast that he wasn’t playing around.
“Give your mouth to me.”
Rhia didn’t hesitate. She leaned forward, pressed her lips to his, and opened when his tongue demanded entry. He consumed her, took complete control of her senses. She felt his hand cup the back of her head and the other press hard to the center of her back. Her breasts smashed up against his chest, and he deepened the kiss. The muscles lining his shoulders bunched as he angled her face and drank from her mouth. He sucked her tongue, rubbed his along hers, nipped at her lips, and growled his approval every time she rubbed her ass against his shaft. The throbbing between her legs ramped to such a degree, she thought for sure she was about to come from nothing more than the attention from the seam in her jeans and that devastating kiss. She moaned in protest when he pulled his mouth away. She immediately purred in contentment when his teeth nipped her ear and drifted lower.
When Caelius’s chest rumbled and he slid his tongue along the side of her neck, she knew this was it. He was marking his territory. He was going to make her his mate tonight, and she was going to belong to him. She’d never wanted anything so much in her life. To hell with second-guessing my future. She’d run from any man that had shown her attention, keeping them at bay in order to save her heart from experiencing that excruciating rejection she’s suffered from Doug’s decision to cast her aside. Caelius had broken through those barriers. He had a firm hold on her heart, and now he was mastering her body. She relaxed and enjoyed the feeling of finally being free enough to experience the joy of new love. He mated for life, and she was going to walk every step of it with him.
Two strong hands clamped on to the back of her shirt and pulled up. Lifting her arms, the material was off and had barely hit the floor before he was unclipping the front of her bra. He didn’t even wait for her to wiggle free from the straps before he had both breasts mounded together and sucked a nipple into his mouth.
“Aw, shit. I love that. The other. Do the other now.” He obliged. Within seconds, he had her writhing in his lap and wondering how the hell his attention to her breasts was causing her clit to throb with each hard pull on a nipple. She was so caught up in the sensations, she hadn’t realized he’d stood up. He plopped her on top of the wide bar, pushed her down until her back hit the cool marble, then slid her jeans and thong off her body. Her knees were shoved up and spread before she could catch her breath. The minute he latched those sensuous lips directly on to her clit, flipped his tongue three times over the distended tip, and sucked it hard between his teeth, her back arched high, and she came on his face.
Gasping for air, she gripped the edge of the counter and braced herself when he increased his attention to her throbbing bud, slid two fingers inside her sopping wet pussy, and immediately found her G-spot. It was as if he’d studied a woman’s anatomy and had a direct bead to exactly where the treasure was. An intense vibration started inside and didn’t let up. It was like his fingers had turned into an enormous vibrator.
Higher and higher he pushed her until the intensity had her warbling to the ceiling for mercy. His warm tongue flattened on top of her bundle of excited nerves and started a fast, hard rub that immediately threw her over the edge again. Her muscles went on full lockdown, and she thought she was going to snap her spine.
The orgasm became so intense, she cried out, grabbed both sides of his head, and undulated against his face. There was no gradual step-down from the mind-blowing euphoria. He slurped at her juices, growled against her sensitive skin, and ramped her higher and higher until she could only see flashes of white light and hear a buzzing noise in her ears. Panting as she slid back down to reality, she tried to focus on his voice.
“I love eating your pussy. You taste like honey when you pass over my tongue and slide down my throat.”
Rhia thought she might pass out. The room was spinning. No, wait. He’d picked her up and slung her over his shoulder. Oh, hell yeah. The alpha had busted out of the youngster’s skin. This was a serious-assed dominant male dragging her off to his cave. Fucking A.
Chapter 33
Caelius flipped the light on in his room, and Rhia didn’t give a shit if it was a 160-watt and he could see every flaw that was imaginable on her body. She was far past self-consciousness and riding the fast train to fuck-the-hell-out-of-me-right-now-ville. This conductor didn’t disappoint.
Caelius flipped her stomach-down on the bed and let her go. She shoved the hair out of her face and glanced over her shoulder. Low moans drifted past her lips as she watched him practically rip his clothes from his body. He caught her peeking and paused just long enough to grab his massive erection and pose for her.
With his braid lying over his right shoulder, massive chest heaving, biceps bunching, and legs spread wide, he was impossibly gorgeous. One side of his mouth lifted, and his eyes narrowed. It was a look that screamed, “I’m a master fuck, and you’re about to get the rock-star package.” He gripped his shaft, twisted his fist slowly to the top, and squeezed the engorged tip. Rhia couldn’t control the delicious full-body shiver when his dark, lilting accent drifted like a warm breeze over her skin.
“See this? It’s yours, no one else’s. Forever. I’m going to mold the inside of your body to fit me. Traho praesto ob mea—get ready for me.”
Rhia could practically feel her juices falling in anticipation. She licked her lips and caught the bottom one with her teeth. She threw him a wink and unlocked the beast inside her man.
He took about one second to drag her back to where her feet hit the floor and her hips rested on the edge of the mattress. He grabbed her arms, pulled them high above her head, grasped her wrists with one strong hand, and nudged her legs wide with his thick thigh. He bent low, enough to whisper silkily across her ear exactly what was about to happen.
“You’re mine, Rhia. No one is going to take you away from me, ever. If they come near you they’ll smell my scent. I’m going to make sure of it.” He released her wrists, rose between her legs, and notched the engorged head of that long, fat cock at her opening. He swirled the tip in her copious fluids, reseated it, and then clamped on to her hips.
“You’re going to feel me, baby. I’m going to fill you up.”
Rhia arched her back and cried out in sheer bliss as his cock shoved inside. He was taking her, owning her, loving her. Sh
e sensed his urgency, as if at any moment someone would snatch her away. Over and over he retreated and returned until he was notched in snugly and stretching her to the limit. He touched every possible erogenous zone and was trying to find more room. Bracing her arms and legs, she began pushing back against him on every hard thrust until the rhythmic sounds of their slapping flesh mixed deliciously with their groans.
Caelius’s grip loosened on one hip, and she felt his palm travel down the center of her back. His hand glided across the cheek of her ass and gave a sharp pop to the outer curve. He groaned and gripped a handful of her bottom. His strokes slowed into a rolling wave, pulling out to the tip and easing back in, inch by exquisite inch.
“I’m watching myself slip in and out of you, baby. My dick is glistening with your cream. You’re so beautiful, Rhia. You have no idea of the things I want to do to you. I’ve imagined you straddled across my thighs as I watch you lower onto my cock and ride me hard. I’ve seen you taking me into your mouth and your sweet tongue is bathing my flesh in fire. I’ve wanted to tie your hands and ankles to the bed and watch you writhe in anticipation of my touch. I want to flip you over my thighs and let you feel my erection pushing against your belly as I spank the creamy flesh of your ass until it glows a bright pink under my hand.” He growled, and his voice dropped to an even lower octave, sending skittering chills across her heated skin.
“Umm, baby. I just felt you clamp tight onto me when I told you my desires. You’re so wet. You liked that, didn’t you? Would you let me do those things to you?”
Rhia tried to catch her breath. Every scenario he’d revealed dove deep into her secret chest of wishes, her fantasies long buried and thought unreachable. For years she’d been with one man that had taken her body, but never truly met her needs. Never had she ever felt so cherished and beautiful. This was as real as it got.
“Yes, Caelius. You’ve said everything that I’ve longed to experience. I love you. I’ll freely give myself to you.” She arched her back and cried out when he thrust hard and pushed in as far as he could go.
“I’ve got a loose hold on my control, baby. I could have lost you tonight and my mind is crazed. I love you so much, Rhia. I want you in my life, my bed, and my heart forever.”
Ah, hell. How in the hell could I ever resist this man? She could barely speak between harsh pants of acceptance. “Take me hard, Caelius. Please make me come.”
His hand slid down the seam of her ass, and she felt a thick finger slide deep into her puckered hole. He pumped it in concert to the thrusting of his cock. Rhia felt every muscle seize in anticipation of the inevitable explosion. Her legs shook as her core rippled and locked down onto his hard shaft. She screamed his name to the walls. His strokes shortened, yet he continued to pound into her. His voice was almost unrecognizable.
“Ah, fuck, yeah. I feel that. You’re fluttering on me. Umm, that feels so good.” He continued to pump his finger into her throbbing hole and started slowing his strokes. His other hand left her hip and she heard something click. A tube of lubricant landed on the bed next to her shoulder. He slipped another finger in, stretching her further. His voice was gravelly, strained.
“I’m going to fuck you here, Rhia. I’m going to make you mine. I’ve wanted this for so long. Did Tana tell you what will happen afterward?”
“Yes. I know. I’m ready. I’ll be there for you, Caelius. I’ll take care of you.” She felt his skin blanket her back and the gentle kiss pressed against her shoulder. His words were low and heartfelt.
“Thank you for trusting me, sweetness.”
His breaths were coming harder, shallower. He was on the edge. Tana had told her about the abundant amount of energy that swirled inside them. It was at its most unstable and crazy on this last mating step. She wanted it, needed it to become part of her.
“Do it, Caelius.”
His fingers slipped out and were immediately replaced with the bulbous head. He slid in easily until he hit the first tight muscles. He coaxed her through the initial bite of pain, stroking her skin and staying perfectly still as she adjusted.
“Slow, baby. Breathe. Relax and let me in. That’s it. Gods, you feel so damn good. Umm, feel that? I’m in a little more. Good girl. Keep relaxing. Yes, arch your back. That’s good. Ahh, you’re so hot and slick. There you go, push back. I’m in, sweetness.”
Rhia steadied her breath and tried to relax. His warm palm slid up and down her back, patted her ass, and grazed the sides of her thighs with his fingers until she felt her muscles melt around him. Both hands latched firmly on her hips, and he started slowly pumping in and out of her. Gently urging her, he pulled her hips back away from the bed.
“Umm, yes. I feel you throbbing each time I push deeper. Rub your clit, baby. I want you burning up as I ride your ass.”
Rhia moaned when her fingers slid across her mound and started a rhythm that ignited a fire across her skin. Soon, he was matching her vigorous strokes. Over and over he pounded into her until she felt a rush of tingles travel through her groin and warmth burst beneath her fingers. Her legs began to shake and her strokes faltered. He withdrew and had her flipped to her back before she could call out in protest. Her discontent immediately turned to satisfied moans as he slipped back inside, pressed his thumb against her clit, and shoved three fingers into her pussy. He turned them into that thick vibrator again and nearly had her coming off of the bed. She clamped onto his forearms and grunted each time he slammed into her ass. God! He was masterful, devastating, and perfect. She could tell from his voice that he was right there on the edge with her.
“Move those hips, baby. You feel me inside? I’m everywhere. Look at me, sweetness. I want to see your face when I make you come.” A dark, rumbling groan issued between his teeth, and she watched his chin drop to his chest, yet his eyes never left hers. His stomach muscles tightened, and then she felt it.
Waves of tingling energy crashed against her skin and sent chills racing after it. Just as quickly, the invisible force pushed her hard against the mattress and entered every pore. She stared wide-eyed at the swirling colors that bathed both of their bodies and shimmered around them. Purples, greens, yellows, and reds twisted slowly in the air. It reminded her of the Aurora Borealis. It was beautiful.
Rhia had no breath left in her lungs to scream out the nonsensical, garbled words attempting to describe the blinding pleasure that accompanied the mesmerizing image and the energy knitting deep inside her body. She was in him, and he was in her. She sensed his thoughts of how beautiful she was, his love that was real and pure, the rush of cum traveling like a rocket through his shaft, and his triumph at bathing her insides with his seed—marking her, owning her, becoming one.
The orgasm exploded throughout her body and rode her hard. She felt her jaw lock tight as her heels dug into his thighs to keep from flying away. Willing her eyes to open, her gaze locked to his. He was staring at her as if she were a priceless artifact and the most precious thing in his life. He strained to get his words out.
“You are, mellis. I love you, Rhia.”
Caelius’s entire body shuddered and he pulled out of her. He staggered for a second, then reached down and scooped her up. He dragged her up the mattress and situated her in the center before his big body crashed down next to hers. He was struggling to breathe and turn over on his back at the same time. Ah, shit! This is it.
Rhia rolled to her side, slammed her hands against his chest, and shoved him over. She jumped off the bed and almost tumbled to the floor before she got control of her legs.
Running to the kitchen, she grabbed a bottle of water and made a quick trip through the bathroom to get wet cloths to bathe him. When Rhia returned to the room, she found him struggling to rise. He was trying to call out her name, but only hoarse whispers left his lips. He was in a full panic. She leaped on the bed and draped her body over his. He immediately settled.
“I’m here, baby. I’m here. Hold on, sweetie.” Grabbing a pillow, she shoved it under his hea
d and uncapped the water.
“Drink, Caelius. No, take little sips. Okay, that’s good. Close your eyes. It’s okay. I got you.”
Minutes later, she had him bathed and covered with a blanket. He rolled into a fetal position, stuck out his arm, and scooped her next to his body. She was exhausted and more than ready to go limp. It felt good to feel him wrapped around her, holding her tight against his skin. His breath evened out, and she fell into a hard sleep.
* * * *
Stretching her legs, Rhia smiled and opened her eyes. The sun was out in full force and radiating beams of yellow from around the edges of the curtain. She smiled when she realized Caelius’s face was buried against her neck. His warm, soft pants let her know he was sleeping peacefully. Peeling his hand off of her breast, she scooted to the edge of the mattress and glanced over her shoulder. Her heart flipped over on itself just taking in what lay before her. For someone she’d thought to be way too young for her, he’d steadily chipped away at that ridiculous thought. Age really was just a damn number thrown on humans to give them a way of marking time. This magnificent male before her had lived through something that would have broken a lesser man—the complete annihilation of half of his species. He’d come to a new and confusing planet to start his life over and admirably dealt with the insanity that was the human race. He’d shown greater wisdom than some men twice his age. He was perfect for her.
Caelius was sleeping so soundly, she decided not to pounce on him and wake him up properly. Despite the unbelievable workout he’d put her through last night, she felt fantastic. There was none of the normal aches and pains she was used to waking with in the mornings. In fact, she felt like her internal engine had gotten an overhaul. Even her spine felt like it’d been realigned. She was purring with vitality and power. Damn. The Insedi have it going on when it comes to getting juiced. Wow, I’m one of them now. She was looking forward to visiting Insedivertus again. From what Tana had shared with her, the planet was intricately tied to them and had no problem goosing them with super energy when they needed it. She’d said it was the most peaceful, awe-inspiring thing she’d ever experienced.
