“A penny for your thoughts?” Romo said. The sayings he used were a tad old fashioned but the man was adorable.
“They’re worth far less than that. My cousin supposedly left everything behind to be with a man on the other side of the planet and I just can’t believe she’d do that,” she admitted.
“You don’t believe in the power of love?” he asked.
“Love takes time to build, like a house. You don’t just look at someone and go oh my god I’m in love and then throw your family, friends, and way of life away,” she argued.
“My people believe in soul mates, I thought most humans did too.”
“It’s a term bandied about but I’m not sure anyone really believes in it anymore.”
Romo pulled her into his arms and she felt a small shock. He turned her so she could look into his gorgeous blue eyes that were like two deep pools. “What do you see when you look in my eyes?”
“The future, the past, and the present all line up for me. I can see so much and you seem to hide so little.” Bree blushed and added, “I always wanted to be a poet.”
“You fight against fate and all it wants to give you,” Romo declared. “Come to my room with me, Bree. Let me show you how wonderful love can be.”
She was having one of those throw caution to the wind moments and it worried her. It wasn’t that she thought she wouldn’t enjoy herself, it was fear of what she might discover. Romo was too tempting, too attractive to just walk away from. Her mouth opened to answer him but nothing came out. “Afraid?” he taunted. Her mouth closed and she fought the impulse to just jump into the game.
“Is there something to be afraid of?” she asked. “I only see you, have you hidden something I’m unaware of?”
“No, but I understand how a maiden might be fearful.”
“Sorry, Romo. You’d have a hell of a time finding a maiden here.”
“So you’re saying you have experience in the ways between males and females?”
“I’ll admit to some experience. I’m sure you have more since men always seem to.”
“Then there’s no reason you can’t come with me?”
“The key here is do I want to.”
“Do you not find me attractive?”
“Well, yes. But that doesn’t mean we should go to the next step.”
“I want you, don’t you want me?”
“I never said I didn’t.” Romo grabbed her hand and tugged her along.
They entered the casino and crossed to the elevator. Bree tried not to think about what was about to happen. She followed as he found his room and he pulled her in behind him. The rooms at this casino were nice, even the simple ones had some level of luxury. His arms rubbed hers and she realized he was embracing her. His mouth dropped to hers and she felt passion race through her. The man knew how to kiss that was for sure.
“Wait a minute,” she said as she stepped back.
“Doubts?” he asked. The smirk on his face made her want to slap him before she kissed him.
“Maybe,” she said
“Let me ease your concerns,” he said soothingly.
Pulling her back into his arms he stroked her shoulders and her back softly. His lips teased hers easing them open before plunging his tongue inside. He explored and delighted with feather soft licks. Her body melted against him as he wooed her gently. One of his hands threaded through her hair massaging her scalp. She moaned, soft and low as her hands moved over his hard body. His skin was so silky smooth over the firm unyielding muscles he must work hard to maintain.
“Better?” he asked softly.
“Mm, this feels so nice,” she responded. Feeling a little dizzy, she didn’t protest as he laid her down on the bed.
“Let me help you undress,” he offered.
“Not yet. I’m not that comfortable.” Romo had her roll on her stomach and he relaxed her with a massage. She liked the way his fingers kneaded and smoothed her muscles.
“Ready now?” he asked. She rolled over onto her back to look at him.
“What’s that energy I feel running through me when you touch me?” she asked.
“Have you ever felt that before?” he asked.
“No, never.”
“My parents were fated mates. You see among my people there are possible mates but only one fated mate. They always told me I would feel a thrum of energy when I touched my fated mate. Is that what you feel?”
Her mouth hung open and she nodded. Was he for real? She looked to see if he had a hidden appliance of some sort but couldn’t see one. “Do you truly believe that?” she asked and she hated that she sounded breathless.
“I do, but you don’t seem to. Let me ask you a question if I may? How will you feel if you walk away without even testing what I’ve told you and you never find anyone that makes you happy?”
“I would be filled with regret.”
“Don’t have regrets, Bree. Join with me and give your future a chance.”
She looked at him her eyes wide open and she thought about what he said. The man was appealing so why was she resisting him? Was it because she didn’t know him well? Yes, that was part of it, but what was the rest? Was she afraid she wanted him too much? Did she fear he might work his way into her heart? Should that kind of fear be allowed to have its way? When she looked at Romo she didn’t see regrets if they parted ways, she saw fond memories. There were a few doubts and concerns about broken hearts, but better to have loved, right?
She moved her hands to his cheeks and lifted her mouth to his. Sucking in his lower lip she felt a shiver pass over him and it made her wet. Scraping his lip with her teeth, she then kissed him passionately. It was a good kiss, one she felt all the way to her toes. Romo said something softly in a language she couldn’t make out before he returned her kiss with interest. For such a hard man, his lips were soft and sensual. He lay between her thighs and she could feel a bulge, a sizeable one that he was pressing against her. He whispered in her ear and he sucked her earlobe into his mouth but she jerked away when he bit it.
“Life is full of tenderness and a small bite of pain. I hear your heart beating like a drum and your breathing is fast as a train, that small bite of pain pushed you to the point the pleasure will be stronger.”
“Maybe so, Sweetheart, but bite me again and I’ll bite you back and it may not be a small bite.”
Romo laughed uproariously. “I will only bite you for a reason. You are truly precious.”
“Hmpf.”
He started to stroke, kiss, and grind against her thighs. It was clear he wanted her and she’d decided she wanted him too. She wondered what the night would show them. Did they belong together or was Romo mistaken? He could make her body feel euphoria but what did that really prove? It proved he was an exceptional lover that was what! At least she should have no regrets about spending a night with him.
Standing up, he stripped his clothing off in a flash. Damn the man could move fast. Her eyes traced down over his full lips, the strong column of his throat, to his broad shoulders, and rock hard chest. His abs were flat but she could see the hardened muscles and his waist nipped in so tiny for such a big man. It was when her eyes reached his cock that she thought they would bulge out but they only widened as she stared in amazement at the biggest one she’d ever seen. Her mouth watered and her fingers itched just to touch it so she could be sure it as real.
“Maybe you should undress too?” he asked looking at her with a half-smile on his face.
Should she? She rose out of bed and stood there close to the naked Adonis and began to take her clothes off. Her top hit the floor, and she shimmied out of her pants. She unsnapped her front closure bra and let it fall. Romo stared at her breasts as if they were tipped in berries he could have for his personal snack. She just stared back as she slid her panties down her legs and kicked them away. Naked, she felt a bit shy but forced herself to stand proud like he was.
“You’re incredible, Bree. So unbelievably beautiful I just w
ant to touch you,” he whispered hoarsely.
She felt better knowing he was equally drawn to her. His body was magnificent, manly, and they stood facing each other while she fought the need to reach out and touch him. Moisture coated her thighs just from looking at him. His body aroused her to a degree she couldn’t explain, didn’t want to have to explain to anyone. Her face heated as her eyes followed a path down to his engorged cock and she swallowed all the excess liquid gathered in her mouth. It was her imagination telling her he probably tasted wonderful. He’d be a sweet treat she could suck on for an hour or so.
Somehow they moved closer until they were touching and her hand touched his velvety head and slid down his shaft. Stroking him, she heard him groan and she saw a drop of dew form on the end. Leaning down she licked it off and his knees almost buckled.
“Yes, Baby! That feels so damn good.”
“This?” she asked as she licked the tip again and looked up at him.
“Ahh,” he responded. He tasted like candy so she licked him again and again. “You’ve got to stop,” he demanded when she finally let him catch his breath.
“Why?” she asked.
“I want to be inside you,” he explained his voice needy. That did sound good.
He grabbed her under the arms and slid her up his body so fast she didn’t have time to react. Lining up their bodies perfectly, he sank into her, just a little pinch as she adjusted to his size and it felt incredible. She moved back and forth, grinding on top of him. It was undeniably a wonderful feeling and it started to build into something even better.
“Oh, sweet mate the goddess sent you,” Romo moaned. He moved them to the bed then rolled them over and he began to thrust at an amazing rate. Sliding his hips from side to side, he thrust deep, hard, and fast.
She was melting into a pile of goo as pleasure rolled through her. Romo was incredible and her whole body was lit up with pleasure. “Ooh, Romo, it feels so wonderful,” she moaned as she arched up against him.
“Bree, Baby, I’m so close,” he whispered.
“Me too,” she agreed as she pulled his shoulders down with her hands.
“I need you to come first,” he whispered.
He thrust in and his fingers reached for her nubbin. She knew he planned to push her over the edge and follow. She wrapped her legs around his hips and squeezed tight. Hanging on for the ride, she could feel every thrust fully. Her toes sank into his ass cheeks as she used them for leverage to press harder against him. His fingers latched onto her clit and he pulled on it. At this point it was sensitive and it sent waves of feeling into her. It took her to the edge and a breeze would topple her over.
One, two, three and she fell over the edge into a pool of pure bliss and Romo slid over after her. Screaming his name, she clutched and clenched at him wanting to hold onto him tight. Her name was on his lips as he fell after her and he jerked and bucked into her, filling her with his essence. He wrapped his body around her to feel her warmth and protect her.
“You are so beautiful,” he whispered in her ear.
“You’re pretty special yourself,” she replied.
“Special enough to spend the night with getting naughty?”
Bree examined him and she liked what she saw. Romo was one hot studly male.
“I could be convinced,” she offered.
Romo kissed her sweetly and asked, “How could I convince you?” He pulled her into his warm embrace and he waited for her requests.
“You’re doing pretty well right now,” she said.
Kissing her ear, he sucked her lobe into his mouth this time just pressing it with his teeth. His tongue slid into her ear and he rumbled sending vibrations through her. “Mm, that felt nice,” she admitted.
He started to kiss his way down her throat. “You smell so nice!
Chapter 2
Hearts Aflame
Romo was completely under Bree’s spell. As far as he was concerned she was the most beautiful female there was. It had been his intention to capture a female and take her home when he arrived, but he’d been told that wasn’t the way things were done here. On Earth, a female was gentled and taken home already mated if possible. With only one fully successful mating among about a dozen attempts, too many improperly mated human females were running around at home. The captain had every intention of enticing his female into the relationship he wanted from her.
“Sweet Bree, I need you to join with me,” he whispered in her ear.
Bree wrapped herself around him with obvious enthusiasm, but he feared the joining she thought of was physical, not spiritual. Sex was easy if no thought or feeling went into it. Romo was beginning to see this mating thing wasn’t as easy as he had originally thought. The body gave in quickly, it was the heart and soul that held back and needed to be wooed.
Romo used his skilled tongue to get her attention. A dragon’s tongue could lengthen even in human form, a skill the ladies loved. Using the rough side around her nipples, she mewled and whimpered as she pressed against him.
“Feels so good,” she whispered.
He bit lightly and she groaned. “Romo,” she growled.
He loved the sound of his name on her lips. It seemed like he had known her forever not a scant number of days. “Yes, Sweetling, I am here,” he answered. Was it possible to fall so deep so fast? Yes, with a fated mate but how could she not realize what they were to each other?
It could only be a resistance built up from not believing in or accepting the truth about fated mates. Romo could feel the connection deep down in his soul and if Bree would just look inside, she would feel it too. It was there just waiting to be discovered. There was no doubt in his mind that this female was meant to be his. She was beautiful from her emerald eyes that sparkled with the inner glow and her brown hair that shone with a fiery red when the sun’s glow hit it.
Bree was strong and ready to defend the weak with all the strength in her body. She wasn’t like the others, this one was his. He felt the warmth of her skin under his hands and the sweet taste of her lips under his. Her fingers could work magic over his skin and as she pressed herself against him, he knew her passion burned bright.
Romo had never met a female like Bree and he suspected he never would. He was happy he’d come to Earth all his doubts had fled now that he was here. Bree was his and he intended to claim her but he had to get her agreement. They spent the rest of the night together making love and talking about everything that mattered to them. What mattered to her right now was finding out about Davy, her missing cousin. All she knew was that her cousin was gone, she’d left a note about mating a man from a foreign land, and there was no way to contact her.
He knew where Davy was but he couldn’t tell her. At least not the truth because she knew Davy was in Draconis and she knew he was from Draconis. She just didn’t know it was a planet not a country and she didn’t believe Davy was really there safe and sound. Yes, Davy was far, far away where no one could hurt her and Bree would only see her once they arrived there together. Humans called it a muddlefuck and Romo just considered it a mess. How could he tell her so she would understand when he knew she would never believe him? Yet if she continued to look, she would only draw attention from those who had tried to hurt Davy.
Because of his position and family standing, Romo did have a communicator. Was this situation worth using it over? It could cause trouble for all of them if Bree continued to search for Davy. He could only assume if she stopped, the mob related visits would stop. In the morning he would make a decision and either take Bree into his confidence or figure out something else. Meanwhile, he had some more loving to do before they fell asleep.
Sliding down her body and feeling every inch as he went, he nestled into the cusp of her thighs. Taking a deep breath, he smelled her heat and the mix of their body fluids as they soaked her thighs. She moaned as he lowered his head and ran his tongue around her lower belly. Aw, yeah! She was salty from her sweat and he loved the taste. He groaned as he
worked his tongue lower into the mix where he could taste both of them.
“Delicious,” he moaned as he dipped his tongue into it. He moved up to her clit and worried the little nubbin until she squealed and writhed under him. It made him smile and he felt power rush through him as his female responded.
“Romo, please,” she moaned some more.
“Please what?” he asked.
“I-I need to cum so bad,” she whimpered.
“I can help you with that, Sweetling. Do you want to cum now?” he wondered.
“Dear God yes! Right now,” she demanded and he moved his mouth to her folds and searched out her clit. His tongue found it easily, he licked and pushed on it until she was rolling around under him.
He sucked it into his mouth so he could press on it and he scraped his teeth along it. She was wild with excitement and he could see she was riding the edge. She rolled around needy and it would take so little to push her over. Showing mercy, he sucked her button into his mouth and nibbled hard on it. Bree went wild and he felt her cum splash on his face as she took her release.
It excited him and he felt his cock swell. Sliding up her body rubbing as he went, he entered her to the hilt and felt her muscled tighten around him. They massaged him until he could stay still no longer. Withdrawing, he slammed back inside all the way. Now he hammered in and out feeling the tightness of her channel gripping him. He loved the feeling of the slippery slide as he moved in and out. His hot seed surged within waiting for the perfect time and place to be sown. There was no way he could deny he wanted progeny and he wanted Bree to bear them for him.
A tingle shot up his back and his balls tightened. Knowing what that meant, he swung his hips so he would hit the spots his woman needed hit. Her hands grasp at him and her channel started to clutch. Bree moaned, arched up against him, and her muscles tightened around him wonderfully. She was beautiful and spread out under him, at his mercy in a way. A couple more thrusts and she exploded under him lost in the bliss of release. He pounded in and he too was lost in the ecstasy of his climax. He bucked not unlike a wild bronc shooting his seed deep into her fertile field. Somehow he knew it would take root although he was sure she had no idea.
