Thunde let out a shout of joy, jumped from his seat, grabbed hold of Jessie, and spun her in the air. “You did it.” He pressed a firm kiss to her lips. “You’re incredible.”
Jessie laughed breathlessly as Thunde spun her in the air again. “It was a lucky guess that it would work.”
“It was more than that. You’re a genius.” Thunde set Jessie back on her feet and swiped her hair from her eyes. “The most beautiful, breathtakingly amazing woman I have ever had the pleasure to meet.”
Jessie laughed. “You need to get out more.”
Thunde dipped his head and placed a fisted hand over his heart. “I am lost to you. I would be lost without you. You have shown me there is so much more to strength than being physically strong. This game should have broken you. It almost broke me to see the things the Fraken did to you. But you’re still here, you’re standing in front of me, and you’ve just beaten the Fraken.”
Jessie swallowed against the choking sensation of tears. She placed a hand over Thunde’s fist and squeezed. “I couldn’t have done it without you. You inspired me to be strong and stand up for myself. If I hadn’t met you in this game, it would all be over by now. You made sure I knew how to stand up to everything that was thrown at us. You gave me the strength to keep going. And, well, I would be lost without you, too.”
Thunde scooped Jessie into a solid embrace and kissed her. Their lips parted, and their tongues met, and Jessie gasped as Thunde picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist.
“Wait!” Jessie pulled back from the tempting prospect in front of her.
Thunde blinked. “Am I moving too fast?”
She smiled as she pointed to the ship’s controls. “You’re not moving fast enough for my liking. But let’s get the ship safe first, then we can take a break.”
Thunde set Jessie back on her feet. “Hurry up about it, then.”
Jessie had to laugh as Thunde paced and grumbled behind her as she puzzled through how to set the ship’s cloaking device. She read through the coordinates Lazet had sent and keyed in the directions. In truth, she was glad of the distraction. Thunde’s kiss had been overwhelming, and she knew there was much more to come.
“Are you done yet?” Thunde tapped his foot on the ground.
Jessie turned her head and smiled at him over her shoulder, seeing his bulging arms crossed over his broad chest. “You shouldn’t be so impatient, we’ve got plenty of time. Our journey will take at least five hours. But I can’t figure out where we’re going, it looks like some sort of comet.”
Thunde wrapped his arms around Jessie’s waist and pulled her against him. “You can figure that out later. The ship can look after itself. Now, it’s my turn to look after you.”
***
Thunde scooped Jessie into his arms and strode through the ship, alternating between kissing her lips and her throat. He inhaled her scent and growls slipped from his mouth. He wanted to devour her, explore every inch of her, and see what this incredible female was made of. But he held himself back. They’d just escaped from a battle with the Fraken, and Jessie would need food, rest, and sleep. His own carnal desires would have to wait a little longer.
He tried a few rooms before finding the sleeping quarters.
Thunde set Jessie down on the floor and stepped away, despite longing to run his hands over her. “You can rest here.”
Jessie raised her eyebrows and then glanced around the room. “I don’t want to sleep.”
“What do you want to do?” Thunde couldn’t help but run his gaze over her lithe body.
Jessie’s mouth opened and then snapped shut. “Well, I thought, don’t you want to be with me?”
Thunde bit down on the growls that wanted to escape from him. He wanted that more than anything but didn’t want to take advantage of Jessie when she was in such a dangerous situation. “Better if you rest. Or, perhaps you’d like to shower. Fraken ships have them, but they’ll be primitive on a fighter vessel like this.”
“A shower would be good,” said Jessie. She lowered her gaze and scuffed her feet on the floor. “But only if you join me.”
A smile lifted Thunde’s lips. “Are you sure you’re not too tired to accommodate me?”
Jessie stepped forward and laced her fingers with Thunde’s. “Let me determine how tired I am. You just need to keep up.”
Thunde’s smile turned into a grin. “I can manage that.”
Jessie returned his grin. “Show me to the showers, then.”
Thunde’s heart pounded in his chest as they dashed along the corridor. He had to try half a dozen different rooms and double back along one corridor before finally discovering the shower units.
Once inside, he turned to Jessie and looked down at her. He shook his head; despite seeing how fragile she looked, he knew there was a thread of steel running through her, and he loved that. He loved her.
He bent and kissed her lips. “You are my first human.”
Jessie choked out a laugh, her brown eyes sparkling. “You are definitely my first Vorten, in fact, my first alien.”
“I will be careful with you,” said Thunde, as his fingers stroked over the flesh on her throat, seeing the faded wounds from the shock collar. “I do not want to damage you.”
“As I keep trying to tell you, I’m a lot stronger than I look.” Jessie grabbed hold of Thunde shoulders and jumped, gripping her legs around his waist.
Thunde wrapped his fingers in her hair as his tongue explored her mouth. He backed them into the nearest shower unit, and the water automatically switched on over their heads, wiping away the blood and grime from their hair and skin. He pressed Jessie into the wall, greedily feasting on her mouth as she clung to him.
His fingers tore off the already ruined clothing from her body, and he tossed away her shirt and vest, exposing her small, pert breasts. He growled his appreciation before ducking his head and tasting the hard pink nipples that presented themselves to him.
Jessie gasped and arched her back, bringing them even closer.
Thunde wrapped a hand around her waist and used his other to explore her neat compact curves, as his tongue circled the hot flesh of her breasts.
He was rock hard as he set Jessie on her feet and shrugged out of his own clothes, throwing them out of the shower unit and standing before her naked.
Jessie blinked and her eyes widened as she took him in. “Wow! I mean, I knew you had muscles, but that’s something else.”
Thunde quirked an eyebrow. “Not what you’re used to?”
Jessie smiled at him as she undid her own trousers and kicked off her boots. “Definitely not.”
“You only have to tell me if I’m too rough,” said Thunde, his gaze drifting to the delicious curves of her waist and hips. “I never want to hurt you.”
Jessie slid her trousers all the way down and then kicked them off. “I know you will never hurt me.”
Thunde raised a hand as he saw Jessie for the first time, unable to decide where to touch first. She was perfection. Soft pale skin, a light brown down of hair between her legs, and a sweet smile on her face that would melt the coldest of hearts.
Jessie closed the distance between them and wrapped her arms around Thunde. “Any time you want to shut your mouth and start having some fun with me, I’m ready when you are.”
Thunde chuckled as he backed Jessie up against the wall again and ran his hands over her body. He stroked her breasts and hips, drawing gasps of pleasure from her lips, before dipping his hand in between her legs and parting the hot wet folds he discovered.
He pressed his lips to Jessie's throat, exploring with his tongue and teeth as he moved down, caressing her hips and thighs as he spread her legs open and dipped his tongue into her hot, wet center.
Jessie gasped again and grabbed hold of Thunde’s hair.
He pushed her legs even further apart and entered her with his fingers, enjoying the sensation of her gripping him as he did so. His tongue discovered a hard nub of flesh betwee
n the folds, and he explored it eagerly.
Jessie groaned in pleasure and bucked her hips towards him. Thunde lifted one of her legs over his shoulder to get better access to her heat and began to suck harder.
Jessie’s whole body reacted with a fierce shudder and her fingers tugged on his hair. “That feels like heaven.”
Thunde looked up and saw Jessie’s lips parted and her eyes closed. Her chest heaved up and down as he pushed his fingers in and out of her harder and faster, going deeper with each thrust, and forcing more cries of desire from her.
She was his warrior goddess, and he would never get bored of doing this. He loved to see the way she gave herself to him, trusting him completely as she stood there naked.
Jessie cried out and her muscles clenched around Thunde’s fingers as she climaxed.
She slid down the wall, until they were face-to-face, before grabbing hold of Thunde and kissing him deeply. She pulled back. “That was amazing.”
“It was,” said Thunde. “Shall we do it again?”
Jessie nodded and laughed as Thunde took her hand, and they both stood. He turned her so her back was facing him and pulled her to his chest. He ground himself into her and bent his knees until his hard cock was between her legs, sliding against the tempting hot slickness. “I have been wanting to do this for such a long time.”
Jessie gave a shaky sounding laugh. “There’s nothing stopping you now.”
But Thunde wanted to take his time and enjoy every inch of Jessie. He trailed kisses from her neck down to her inner thighs, teasing and nipping her flesh, before coaxing her into another orgasm.
His need grew with every passing second. All he wanted was to feel Jessie gripping his cock as hard as she’d gripped his fingers, and crying out when he buried himself inside her.
“Please, I need to feel you,” said Jessie.
Thunde raised himself from his knees, his fingers tracing over Jessie’s back. He wrapped an arm around her waist and bent as he slid his cock between her legs. A moan slipped from his lips as he pushed inside her an inch. He rested there a second, enjoying the very first connection with Jessie.
“More,” groaned out Jessie. “This is torture.”
He bent his legs, pulled back, and then thrust into her.
Jessie gasped and tipped her head back, resting it against Thunde’s chest. “More. I want to feel all of you inside me.”
Thunde growled as he pulled back again and thrust harder, feeling Jessie respond and her insides quiver as he filled her again and again with his hard thrusts.
Thunde grabbed her hips and pulled out all the way, before entering her fully and drawing a moan of pleasure from Jessie's lips. He entered her again and again, marveling at the heat and warmth as he went deeper and deeper.
His hand moved around to her hard, swollen nub again, and he massaged it with his fingers, drawing more groans of pleasure from Jessie’s lips and making her arch her back to give him better access to her most sensitive areas.
Thunde felt himself close to the edge as he buried himself deeply inside Jessie. He groaned and felt himself harden even more.
“Wait!” Jessie pushed her hands against the wall.
Thunde gritted his teeth and slowed. “Am I being too rough with you?”
“No, but the first time you come, I want to see you,” said Jessie. “I want to know you are mine.”
Thunde nipped the flesh behind Jessie’s ear. “What do you have in mind?”
“Sit on the floor,” said Jessie. “I want to look into your eyes when you fill me.”
Thunde withdrew from Jessie, missing her hot tightness the second he left. He slid to the ground and watched as she turned. Her beauty took his breath away. Her lips were swollen and red and her cheeks flushed. Desire filled her eyes as she looked down at him, water cascading over her curves. He didn’t think she could look any more beautiful than she did in that moment.
Jessie straddled him and gripped the base of his cock in one hand. “I want to see the pleasure on your face the first time you climax inside me.”
Thunde growled and kissed Jessie roughly as her hands stroked up and down his hard shaft. This was the best torture he had ever experienced, as her fingers stroked him towards an intense pleasure. And then she sank down on him, taking him deeply inside her in a single, firm thrust of her hips. She stared into his eyes as she began to thrust backwards and forwards, taking every inch of him, gasping as he went deeper.
As she pushed her tongue into his mouth, Thunde joined her rhythm, thrusting up every time she moved down, so they were fully joined and he could enjoy feeling himself deep inside her.
He moved his hand back to her swollen nub and rubbed his fingers firmly across it.
Jessie moaned into his mouth, as her thrusts grew faster, and her fingers dug into his shoulders.
With a cry of pleasure, Thunde exploded and filled Jessie as she continued to thrust. Her own climax followed a few seconds later, her gaze never leaving his as her orgasm slowly faded.
Thunde covered her face in kisses until she started laughing and pushed him back into the wall.
“That’s the best shower I’ve ever had.” Jessie pushed her wet hair out of her eyes.
Thunde tipped his head back and roared with laughter. “Same here. We shall have to try it again.”
“I’m ready when you are,” said Jessie.
Thunde’s gaze ran over her nakedness, and for a second, he was more than willing to take advantage. “First, we need to finish our shower, then we need to eat, and then I’ll be happy to fuck you until you can’t stand.”
Jessie pressed a kiss to his lips. “Are you sure I can’t tempt you to skip the first two things?” Her fingers stroked down his stomach and gripped the base of his still hard cock.
Thunde pulled her close to him and kissed the sensitive skin behind her ear. “Keep doing that, and you can convince me to do anything.”
Chapter 26
Jessie woke with a start and, for a second, couldn’t remember where she was. But then she felt the warm, solid presence of Thunde against her back, and relaxed. They were safe, aboard a ship, and heading towards Thunde’s friends and freedom.
She shifted around so she could look at Thunde. His eyes were closed and his breathing steady, a soft smile on his face, where there was usually a frown.
Jessie smiled, thinking she had helped to bring that expression alive. And, although her body ached just about everywhere from their extensive time in the shower, it had been worth it. She had her very own Vorten alien warrior lying naked beside her, and it was the best feeling in the world.
“You’re looking at me,” said Thunde, his eyes remaining shut as his smile broadened.
Jessie placed a hand on his bare chest. “I like looking at you. You have a lot of nice things to look at.”
“I have discovered the same about you.” Thunde opened his eyes.
Jessie leaned forward and kissed his lips, her own feeling bruised. “So, what now?”
“We have some time.” Thunde pulled her even closer to him, and she felt him harden against her leg. “There’s a few more moves I’d like to show you.”
“I think if you do that, I really will break.” Jessie squirmed in Thunde’s arms, enjoying hearing the growl he made as she did so.
“Have I finally exhausted you?” Thunde kissed around Jessie’s jaw line, and his tongue slid to her breasts.
Jessie let out a sigh. “If I do break, it will be more than worth it.”
Thunde’s laugh sent a shudder of pleasure through Jessie’s chest, and she draped a leg over his hips, bringing her into contact with his solid cock.
Thunde growled in approval as his fingers slid along her curves and cupped her backside. He removed his lips from her breasts and moved back to her mouth. “We should set this ship on autopilot for the next few cycles and really get to know each other.”
“You won’t hear me complaining if you do,” said Jessie, her center heating as Thunde�
�s tongue continued to explore her.
Just as Thunde dipped his head again, a red light began to flash on the wall by the bedroom door. Jessie pulled back, her eyes widening. “Is there a problem with the ship?”
Thunde raised his head and let out a long sigh. “We have arrived at our destination.”
Jessie jumped from the bed, a nervous sensation running through her. “We’d better get dressed.”
“Axen and my brothers will be happy to wait for us if they know what we’re doing.” A wicked grin crossed Thunde’s face.
Jessie swatted him with a hand. “I definitely don’t want to meet your friends in this state.” She gestured to her bed messy hair and swollen lips.
“They will enjoy it,” said Thunde. “They will consider me a fortunate Vorten.”
Jessie tutted and shook her head, shooting him a smile. “This is for your eyes only.”
Thunde slid from the bed and wrapped his arms around her waist. “That’s just what I want to hear. You are all mine, now. I don’t want or need anybody else.”
Jessie’s throat tightened as she turned and looked up into Thunde’s serious gaze. “Neither do I. Whatever lies ahead for us, I want to do it with you, together, as partners.”
“Agreed. We are partners.” He slapped her on the backside. “Now, go find some clothes, and then you can meet my warrior family and see your friends again.”
***
Thunde struggled to keep from touching Jessie as they made their way to the cockpit of the ship. She was like an addiction, an extremely good one, and every time he touched her skin, he got a buzz of what felt like electricity run through him. He’d never felt this alive and never wanted it to change.
They positioned themselves in the cockpit seats, and Jessie lowered the blast shield. In front of them was a Deorg ship, its silver grey panels glinting as a light slid around the outside of the hull, and as Thunde de-cloaked their vessel, the communication channel flickered to life.
“I hope that’s you, Thunde, not some devious Fraken trying to get on board.” It was Lazet.
