The corners of his mouth kicked up into a smile that had her body reacting with need. “I like anything you want to do to or with me, Samantha. I like you a little rough.”
“I like you a little rough, too.” When he ground his body to hers, their teeth scraped together. “I need you as rough as you can get. I want to feel and do everything.” She wanted to live life and she wanted to try everything. No holds barred. Cupping her cheek, Petr drew her up for another kiss. One of his hands skimmed down her side to grab her ass and squeeze hard. When he changed the angle of the kiss to make it deeper, she felt his fingers slip between her buttocks to coast up and down her slit from anus to a breath from her aching clit.
She was now rubbing harder and harder against him. She nibbled on his lower lip, then sucked his tongue into her mouth. She didn’t speak. She simply enjoyed every single second with him, rubbing her pussy against his cock over and over again. “I need,” she whispered, her forehead pressed to his.
“Take whatever you need, Samantha.” His voice was deeper, rougher, and held a needy edge that matched her own. Fingers flexing on her ass pulled her tight to his cock. With a roll of his hips, she felt more liquid slide from her core as his cock pressed to her clit.
She reached between them and put her hand on his cock, stroking him from the balls to the head. “Just fuck me. Make love with me. Everything. Don’t hold back on me?”
A quick move and Samantha found herself under him. He captured her hands, lifting them over her head until her knuckles brushed against the headboard. “Hold on to it, and don’t let go unless I say so.”
She nodded, her fingers clenching the headboard. “God that is sexy,” she whispered. “Having you ordering me around.” She opened her legs even more for him.
“I have a cruiser full of people that would disagree with you, Samantha. But if it makes you happy I am more than ready to order you around in bed.” He wrapped a hand around her throat, forcing her chin to lift into position for his kiss. While his tongue thrust deep, he rubbed his thumb over her pulse. His other hand molded one of her breasts. Then he pinched her nipple hard and gave it a tug, repeating the action until she rocked her hips in an attempt to get closer to his cock.
She whimpered, her knees bending and getting a better traction under her. “I like when you squeeze my neck, too. God, I’m so wrong, aren’t I?” He probably thought she was an utter freak of nature.
He lifted his head to pin her with a stern look she’d seen him give to the younger crew when they messed up. “Nothing we ever do together in the privacy of our quarters is wrong. Now put your feet back on the bed, and spread your legs wide. You will get my cock when I’m ready to give it to you.”
She saw that frown again and licked her lips. Bracing her feet on the bed once more, she whispered, “Yes, Sir.” She didn’t know if that was right or not but one of the few books her Kindle had been filled with was Fifty Shades, and that was a phrase the character used. She hoped she was doing it right.
The frown slipped away to reveal a satisfied look, which he added a raised brow to. “You are not one of my officers. As much as I like hearing you say that, you don’t have to, little one.” Giving her a quick kiss, Petr moved his hand so he could replace it with his mouth and tongue.
“I like doing it,” she confessed. “There were books out that I took with me. On my reading device. They were termed as BDSM books and the things I read turned me on, a lot. I liked calling you Sir because it was what the submissives did for their Dominants in the books. I don’t know how things work here, but I liked what I read and God I loved calling you that. Only here, though, only in our bedroom.”
He let out a low rumble that sounded like he was pleased by her answer. His words a few seconds later confirmed it. “Call me whatever you want in the privacy of our quarters, little one. It’s your right as my bonded. The same right that gives you total access to me in here.” Petr slid lower, his mouth drifting down to suck on a nipple as he put his hand back in place at her throat.
She arched into his touch. “And if I wanted to attack you when we were not in our rooms? What if I got very, very horny and needed you. Could I come to you and touch you so that I could have you inside of me again?”
She felt a shudder ripple through him before he sank his teeth into the curve of her breast. “If you need me you can let me know and we’ll find somewhere private to see to your aches and wants. There is no need to make my crew jealous of what we have.”
“Okay, so I’ll tell you when I need you. I’ll make sure you know in the quietest way possible so we can go and hide ourselves and fuck like bunnies.”
He lifted his head to shoot her a narrow-eyed look. “I really must get a copy of your database so I can discover the meaning of some of these words you use.”
“Bunnies were these small, furry animals on Earth.” She was still holding the headboard and shivered again. “They were constantly having sex and birthing new bunnies. They pretty much ate, slept, pooped, and had babies.” Then it hit her. “Oh God.” Her shot she had taken for birth control wore off a great many years ago. “I’m not on anything for pregnancy prevention. Are you?” she asked, assuming that men could take contraceptives as well in this new timeline she found herself in.
He immediately moved to a position where they were able to look into one another’s eyes. “Imarian men in the military are on a regimen that prevents us from impregnating any woman. The women are on something similar to prevent pregnancy. When a man or woman finds their soul bond, they then have the choice to come off it. But even if I were to stop immediately, it would take many risings before it wore off.”
She let out a breath that she hadn’t actually realized she was holding. “Thank goodness. Yes I love you and yes I want a life with you but I want to have several years just with you. As long as you are okay with waiting, so am I.” She had to learn this time she was in before she even dared to bring a child into the world. “I have too much to learn before we have a kid and goodness only knows I have too much I want to do with you before we have a child.”
Lifting his hand from her throat, he cupped her cheek. “There is no need to rush into anything. You need time to acclimatize to your new reality. I would never pressure you into anything. When you are ready, say the word.”
“Love me, Petr. Please.” He was still over her and while she loved it, she wanted more. She wanted everything.
“Always,” he said against her lips. Then he proceeded to make her feel loved in every way possible, and a few she hadn’t even considered.
Chapter Five
“You really know how to make a man feel appreciated,” Petr said. He shot Samantha another look and shook his head slowly. Poor thing looked terrified. “I do know what I am doing. So the clenching of the arm rests, gritted teeth, and whimpering noises you’re making aren’t required, Samantha. You should open your eyes and take a look around. There are only a handful of people who ever have the opportunity to see this field from this vantage point.” He was trying to ease her worries and tease her at the same time.
She shook her head roughly and it made him chuckle. “No, thank you. If you will recall, I saw what things like what we are flying did to my ship.” He noticed she didn’t use the term asteroids. “Just tell me when we land, okay?” She was shaking. That had him frowning. “Cause then I will look, okay?”
Easing up on the power, Petr settled them into a nice safe trajectory through the field. “Samantha, come here.” He put a hand on her arm and slid his fingers down to her wrist. “You can open your eyes. We’re barely moving, and we are in a stable section. Trust me, please.”
Samantha moved in his lap as he asked her to do. “I’m sorry. I think it’s going to be a while before I’m able to look outside of our ships and watch the nothingness that’s out there. I know you are more than capable of getting us from point A to point B, but after so many years…” He felt her shudder and knew what she was thinking. She was recalling the nightmares
from the cryo-sleep chambers.
He wrapped one arm around her tight, tucking her head under his chin. “I know this is hard for you, little one. Thank you for still deciding to come along with me. It means more than you know.” Pressing a kiss to her hair, he rubbed his hand up and down her arm at the same time he made a minute course correction. “I understand that the nothingness of space scares you. It does the same for a lot of people. But will you take one peek for me? I swear it’ll be worth it.”
He felt her nodding, then heard her indrawn breath. “Petr … it’s beautiful. I’ve never seen anything so gorgeous in all of my life.” He knew she was looking at the rising sun that was coming over one of the Craegin planets. The soft pinkish glow was catching the asteroid field, making the massive asteroids practically glow and sparkle. “I see why you love this.” She looked at the view, then him. “I love you,” she said quickly, hugging him again.
“Told you it was spectacular.” Smiling, he pressed a kiss to her lips. Then he checked the computer and let out a breath. “We’ll take a little longer on the return trip so I can show you a few things, but we need to get moving if we’re going to meet Fintan’s destroyer in time. If you want to close your eyes again, now might be the time. I need to apply some speed to get us to the rendezvous on schedule.” The delay had been worth it for him to see the joy on her face, no matter how brief it had been.
“Okay, eyes closed is good. Do you need for me to move out of your lap?” She asked the question while she snuggled in closer to him. Silly woman.
“No, stay where you are. I only need one hand to get us where we’re going. I will need two for landing, but we’re still a good distance from that point.” With a squeeze to pull her closer, Petr adjusted his seat position slightly to give him more reach with the one arm he had free. He had them underway shortly after, the asteroids going past at dizzying speeds. It was probably a good thing he’d mentioned her closing her eyes. He had the distinct impression his woman may have had something to say about his flying. Likely at extremely high volumes.
“I’m also so nervous to meet your sister. She’s so gorgeous. You all have so much going for you and then here is me with nothing but my love for you. But then again, that’s what makes me the richest woman ever in the history of ever. Right?”
Her nerves were showing. She always started to talk quickly, and on several topics, when she got nervous. He’d noticed it a few times since meeting her. “You did mention it,” he cooed. Stroking his fingers over her arm, he took the crawler into a wide arc around an asteroid, then used one of the moons of a nearby planet to slingshot them around to where he needed to be. Ahead he could see the void in space that told him the destroyer was where it should be. “Adira will adore you for who you are. The fact that you are mine, and make me happy, will only make her happy. Try not to panic before we get there. Especially since you’ve yet had to deal with a Craegin.”
The communications crackled. “That better be you, Admiral.”
Keying a lineup, Petr shot a quick look at the monitor. “Who else would it be? We will be on board momentarily.”
“So I see,” Fintan muttered. “Take your usual spot. Adira is standing by patiently.”
Petr snorted at that. “I’m sure she is.” Shutting off the communications, he adjusted Samantha in his lap. “I need my other arm, little one, so you need to sit up as straight as you can for this next part.”
“I can get into my seat.” When she went to move, he held her close. “What in the world will they think of us coming in for a landing and here I am in your lap? Wait, they can’t see in, can they?” He heard the joy in her voice, so he didn’t correct her thinking. “Okay, you just tell me what you need and I’ll do it.”
“Hold on, and don’t look until we’ve landed. The way into this landing bay is not for the faint of heart.” Petr gave a kiss to her cheek and pressed her face to his neck. Then he had to concentrate on the path into the landing bay. It was a tight squeeze around a few external parts of the destroyer. Then he had to come to an immediate stop, turn, and ease straight up. He’d done it so many times he could have managed easily with his eyes closed. But if Samantha caught him doing it he didn’t think she’d be euphoric. Checking his sensors to make sure he was centered, Petr put on enough power to raise up into the landing bay and stayed in a hover until the doors sealed underneath the crawler. Once he saw the thumbs-up from one of Fintan’s crew behind the heavy glass wall, he settled down with a small bump. She pulled back to look at him and he reached up to brush a stray piece of hair that fell out of her bun.
Petr lifted his gaze slightly to look past her head to the opening doors. He gave her a quick kiss to her lips, then helped her off his lap. Standing, he made sure all the systems were fully shut down, then tugged her with him to the hatch. There he cupped her cheeks to give her a deeper kiss since the others couldn’t see them. “Are you ready?” he asked with a hand over the hatch controls.
She nodded. “Let’s go, I have babies to play with.”
“Not babies anymore,” he said. With a sigh, he keyed the door to open, then led Samantha down the ramp to where Fintan and Adira were waiting. The little ones were obviously not permitted down in the bowels of the ship, but Petr knew they’d see them soon enough. He caught Adira when she threw herself into his arms. Squeezing her close, he breathed in her scent, a soft smell that reminded him so much of their mother. “I missed you, too, little sister.”
When he pulled away from Adira, he reached for Samantha. “Hello. I’m Samantha,” she said to the woman and the huge man beside her. “Good heavens, you men are all so flipping tall. How?”
It was Adira who replied, “They are rather tall. Personally I think it’s a nutritional supplement that they all take. Even my son is half again taller than his sister.” Petr watched his sister hold out her hand. “I’m Adira. It’s nice to meet you.”
“Hello. I’ve heard a lot about you,” Samantha said easily, which had Petr relaxing.
Rubbing his hand up and down her back, he looked to Fintan. The other man was watching Samantha with something bordering on curiosity. Since Adira and Samantha were speaking like they had known one another forever, he let the two women lead the way and fell into step next to the other man.

Samantha instantly liked Adira. The woman was sweet and personable and she had her at ease immediately. The only issue was the massive man walking behind her. She felt like she was being judged by the man. It was a little odd that aside from his coloring he and Petr shared a great deal of traits, but more than that they seemed so human. Yes, she had expected life outside of their galaxy, but they had always assumed that the life would be so different from what was found on Earth. They had made the calculated assumptions that there wouldn’t be many of the Goldilocks planets such as Earth, that the lifeforms found would be more like the lifeforms that they, again, assumed lived under the methane ice of Titan.
While she was deep in thought, she heard a couple of laughing squeals, then a grunt of a sound before two little blurs raced past her and Adira and tackled Petr. The foursome all stopped and Sam turned to look at Petr, who was now on the ground laughing while trying to listen to the three-year-olds that were chattering a mile a minute with him.
When they both finally seemed to run out of things to say, Petr turned them both to face her. “This is Samantha, your new aunt,” he said with a wink at her. “Samantha, these two little bundles of infinite energy are my niece, Morgan, and nephew, Lennox. Say hello, you two,” he cooed to the children.
Samantha got down to the children’s level and said her hellos. She watched them as they tried to judge her, to see if she was worthy. She couldn’t help but grin. “Do you think that perhaps you should apologize to your guard?” she asked them and reached out to stroke the midnight-black hair of the little girl. “I saw the way you both worked as a team to wiggle out of his arms. That was incredible, but I think kicking him might have been a little harsh?” She le
aned in close and added, “Next time just go limp if you are being held. You will slide right out of their arms.”
A snort above her head had Sam looking up. “I can see why you are a perfect match for Petr. You two think along the same lines and are set on corrupting my children,” Fintan said. His stance said he wasn’t happy, but Sam didn’t miss the amused look in his eyes.
“She is perfect for me,” Petr said. Then he tickled the little boy until he was squirming. Pressing a kiss to the chubby cheek, Petr let Lennox go and stood up.
Samantha winced, then laughed. “Well, we are their uncle and aunt. I know it’s in the manual that we are supposed to spoil them. If it’s not, then you need to update your rule books.” She got to her feet and was shocked when the little girl slipped her hand into Sam’s. “You are too precious,” she told her, then looked at Adira and Fintan. “They are perfect. You guys did superbly cooking these two up.”
Petr lifted Lennox into his arms and held a hand out to Samantha. “I would not attempt to decipher some of her words. I’m still working on it myself,” he told his sister and her husband. “She is not of this time, so many of her sayings make little sense. Something she is occasionally remembering to teach me. Let’s get these little ones somewhere we can truly spoil them. Especially since their uncle remembered to bring the gifts this time.”
Samantha looked at the couple that was following them and said, “The whole cooking thing. I mean that genetically. It’s just something we would say on Earth. Speaking of, Petr is looking to find out if there are any of my people in Imarian space. I was hoping that you guys would perhaps look in your space to see if there are Earthlings here in this area?” It wasn’t that she wanted to go to her people, but she wanted to know if they had survived or if she was the only one left.
“The odds of that are low, but I will put through an inquiry,” Fintan said. “Hard to say who one of our planet members may have provided shelter to without our knowledge. It will take some time.”
