3013: GENESIS (3013: The Series Book 11)

by Laurie Roma

  She sent him an impish grin. “Pass up the chance to take a magical bath in a setting that no longer exists? How could I possibly say no to that?”

  “Wonderful,” Daimon said. “Why don’t you get in the water while I go get us something to drink?”

  Mya opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again. She blinked, once, twice, then just shook her head. It didn’t really matter if she wanted that drink or not.

  Because he was already gone.

  CHAPTER TWELVE

  Mya let out a sigh as she sat down on one of the stones benches and bent down to take her sandals off. Daimon had hurried from the room so fast it was a wonder there weren’t skid marks from his boots on the stone floor. At least he had invited her to stay, she thought. That was something.

  But why hadn’t he wanted to undress her himself?

  She rose and removed her dress, then peered over the side of the lagoon to stare down at the pink water. It was strange looking, and she was curious to see what magical water from another planet felt like. Taking a deep breath, she walked down the stone steps leading into the sunken pool, and gasped as the warm gel-like water surrounded her body.

  She looked down and saw that there were stone benches under the water around the sides of the pool. After sitting down, she leaned her head back, closed her eyes, and let the strange water soothe her. Daimon had been right. It was thicker than she was used to, but it felt good. In fact, it felt absolutely wonderful, like the water was soaking into every pore to cleanse and relax her from the inside out.

  Opening her eyes again, she looked around. From where she was sitting, it was easy to forget that she was on a space vessel. It felt like she was on another world. To be given a glimpse at a planet that had been destroyed long ago was a wonderful gift.

  Curious, she lifted her hand up and touched her finger to her tongue. The water didn’t have a taste. Maybe it was a little salty, but nothing like the ocean water from home. She sunk lower, bracing her hands on the bench below her to stop from being submerged completely. As the water covered her hair, there was a slight tingling sensation, then it faded, leaving her feeling completely clean and relaxed.

  She sat again and tilted her head to the side as Daimon walk back into the room. He was carrying two glasses and a sapphire blue bottle she knew well. “Ahava wine?”

  “I know you like it,” he admitted with a sheepish grin.

  “Thank you.” She sighed. “I guess you know all about my night out with the girls.”

  “I know you had a bit too much to drink that night,” he said as he poured the wine into both glasses. He handed her one of the glasses, then set the bottle and the other glass down on the side of the pool. “I’m glad you had fun, but we were worried when your guards had to carry you back to your room.”

  He seemed to hesitate for a moment before he shoved his pants off his hips, kicking them to the side so he was naked. Mya knew it was probably rude to stare, but she couldn’t look away from his beautiful body.

  She lifted her glass to her lips and took a big gulp of the pale-blue liquid to ease her dry throat. All the Adaro brothers were strong and fit, but Daimon was a little shorter than the other two, and thicker with muscle. His cock was hard, jutting out from between his thighs to curve upwards toward his stomach. She noticed that his shaft looked a little thicker than his brothers’, and the sight of it made her want to reach out and touch him.

  Daimon walked down the steps slowly, and Mya missed the sight of his body as he sank into the warm water. When her gaze lifted, her eyes met his. She saw the raw hunger blazing back at her, but he simply reached for his glass of wine and sat down on the bench angling toward her instead of acting on the need she saw.

  It was clear that he wanted her, but he wasn’t going to do anything about it?

  Damn it.

  Mya took another sip, then put her glass down. “Is this weird? It feels weird. I mean, we’re sitting here naked, and I’ve seen you…obviously. But you haven’t seen me. And we kissed before, but then you told me to leave. And now you left before I took off my dress as if you didn’t want to see me…”

  Daimon’s hand had frozen in place with his glass halfway to his lips during her rambling, and now that she paused, he put the glass down. “Mya? Are you telling me you doubt that I want you?”

  “You might want me, but you might not want to want me.”

  His expression tightened with frustration. “I have no clue what that means.”

  Stars, she was not explaining this well. How could she when she barely understood it herself? “I just don’t want things to be weird between us. You know that I was with your brothers, and that just makes all of this seem…”

  “Weird?” There was tenderness in his voice when he said, “Little star, come here.”

  Reaching out, he pulled her onto his lap so she was sitting sideway with her legs dangling off one of his thighs. She could feel his erection pressing against her hip, and forced herself not to wiggle to try and get closer to him.

  He brushed his lips across hers in a gentle kiss, then looked into her eyes. “If you’re worried that I don’t want you as much as my brothers, you’re wrong. Each of us has wanted time with you. Time to get to know you, but for you to get to know us as well. The three of us are different. Some people don’t see that.”

  “I do,” she whispered. “I see you…all of you.”

  “And that’s part of the reason we want you. If I had stayed in here while you undressed, I would have taken you. I don’t want to rush things. I want to give you time before being with me.”

  She used her finger to traced the ridge of his collarbone. “I came here today to seduce you.”

  Daimon’s felt his blood heat at the thought. “You did?”

  He watched her flush as she admitted, “Well, I was going to try to, but I really don’t know what I’m doing so—”

  “Mya, all you have to do is breathe and I’m seduced.”

  “Really?”

  The hopeful tone of her voice told him everything he needed to know. She was innocent in the ways of males, and she had taken his restraint as disinterest. He couldn’t fight his need for her anymore. He gripped her hair in his hand, jerking her head back so he could slam his mouth down on hers.

  There was nothing gentle about him now. She’d unleashed the beast within him, and there was no going back. His kiss was a claiming. Taking her with a brutal passion so that there would be no doubt in her mind about how much he wanted her. Torturing himself, he asked, “How were you going to seduce me, Mya?”

  “I don’t really know. I figured if all else failed, I’d try to kiss you…down there.”

  He froze at her words, his eyes going wide. “You want to do that for me?”

  Mya was puzzled by the shock she heard in his voice. “You wouldn’t like that?”

  “Oh, I’d love it. It’s just that my seed shoots too hard and hot for you to drink me down. You would choke, and I can’t allow that.”

  It all made sense now. Tavius had stopped her from using her mouth on him, but she hadn’t known why. Pia had told her all men loved when a woman went down on them, so Mya didn’t understand why they hadn’t given her a chance to please them…but now she understood.

  They were seriously all going to have to work on their communication skills.

  “I can take you in my mouth without you finishing, can’t we?”

  It startled her when Daimon quickly gripped her around her waist and set her down on the bench next to him. He lifted himself out of the water so he was sitting on one of the flat rocks at the edge of the pool. The water slid off his body, but left his skin glowing in the soft light shining down on them from the ceiling.

  “My body is yours to explore whenever and however you like,” he growled as he fisted himself with his large hand. “But I hope you know what you’re asking for.”

  He looked like a sexual god sitting before her with his big cock in his hand. She gathered
her courage, and took the plunge. “I want to do this. I want to please you. Just…will you let me know if I do anything wrong?”

  Fire burned in the dark depths of his eyes. “Anyway you touch me will be magic.”

  Taking his word for it, her gaze lowered, focusing on his hard cock. It was large and thick, and slightly darker than the rest of his golden body. The mushroomed head was bigger than a human man. Not that Mya had any up close personal experience, but she’d seen enough images to know the basics.

  She was fascinated by the way the shaft pulsed, moving slightly as he seemed to swell before her eyes. A drop of pearly liquid appeared at the tip from the tiny hole at the end, and it made her want to taste it.

  “Mya, if you don’t want to—”

  His words cut off on a low growl when she leaned forward and lapped at the drop of pre-cum with her tongue. His cock jerked hard when she did it again. She looked up at him through veiled lashes to gage his reaction. Daimon looked fierce. His expression would have terrified her if she didn’t feel the shock of pleasure racing through him as she placed one of her hands on his thigh, and used the other to remove his hand on his cock, replacing it with her own.

  “Quit teasing me, Mya. Open your mouth for me. Open for me and suck it.”

  Following his command, she opened her mouth wide and took him in. She wrapped her lips around his cock, stroking at the drops of liquid that continued to form at the top of the head with her tongue. He was the perfect combination of sweet and salty.

  His taste was addicting, and she wanted more.

  A harsh groan tore from his throat as she worked her mouth over him, taking him deeper. She felt his hands shove into her wet hair, tight enough to hold onto her, but still allowing her to set her own pace.

  There was power in giving. She had control over him. His pleasure belonged to her, and she could give or take it at will. It made her feel wild and free. Feeling more confident, she took more of him in until the head of his cock hit the back of her throat, then had to pull back quickly when she gagged.

  Damn it.

  It didn’t look like she would be declaring herself the goddess of blow jobs just yet.

  “I’m too big for you to take all of me. Go easy, tava. Slow and easy.”

  Irritation sparked. She knew he was trying to be helpful, to make it easier on her since she lacked experience, but she wanted him out of his mind with the pleasure she gave him. Ignoring him, she began to move faster, using her mouth and tongue ruthlessly on him. She started moving her hand on his cock, using it to stroke the part of his shaft that she couldn’t take inside her mouth.

  She felt his body tense, and glanced back up at him. It almost looked like he was in pain now, and her own body tingled at the hunger she saw blazing in his dark eyes.

  “No more,” he growled. “It feels too fucking good, I can’t stand it.”

  Daimon pulled her head away from him, and his cock left her mouth. He wanted to snarl at the loss of her sweet mouth on him, but he was too close to coming to risk it. Sliding off the rock so he was back in the water, he lifted her easily into his arms and claimed her mouth with his. Need pulsed through him. When she surrendered and parted for him, he sank into her, tongue delving deep.

  The kiss continued as he carried her over to the steps of the pool. She automatically wrapped her legs around his hips, and he growled as her pussy rubbed against his engorged shaft. He stumbled as the head of his cock lodged at the entrance of her pussy before he could get them out of the water. Reaching out a hand, he braced them before they both fell, then he swore as she gripped his shoulders and pushed down at his cock.

  Fuck!

  Daimon had wanted to taste her. To fuck her with his tongue and his fingers to make sure she was ready for him, but that plan was blown to hell now. Lowering them to the top step of the pool, he slid deeper as he shifted their position. The look on her face and her soft moan of pleasure was almost enough to make him come, but he didn’t want to spill his seed yet.

  He needed to claim her and make her his first.

  “Hold on, tava,” he commanded. “This is going to be hard and fast.”

  With that warning given, he pulled out of her and flipped her over so that she was kneeling in front of him. The water hit her mid-thigh, but her hands were braced on the edge of the pool. He gripped her hips hard and surged into her from behind. Daimon had never felt anything as good as being buried to the hilt inside Mya’s tight, hot pussy. Control shattered, his hips pistoned against her, thrusting his cock into her in a jarring rhythm.

  Water splashed around them, but he didn’t care. He spread his own legs apart further to get a better angle, then slammed his hips forward again, using the full force of his body. The desire to taste her blood came out of nowhere, and he bit his own lip to stop himself from sinking his fangs deep into her shoulder.

  Mya moaned as he speared into her. The water had worked its magic on her body, easing the soreness she’d felt after last night so she only felt the pleasure of Daimon’s massive length sliding into her. Soft gasps spilled from her lips with each thrust.

  His large body came down over hers, covering her back with his front. She was caged, captured by him as one of his arms wound around her holding her tight to him while his other hand held onto the edge of the pool next to hers. She moved her hand over his, connecting them together as he rode her hard, thrusting deep, faster and faster until she began to shake beneath him.

  His hand moved lower, seeking the swollen bundle of nerves with his clever fingers. He rubbed her clit hard, pushing her over the edge and into madness. Stars burst behind her eyelids as she clenched them shut. She screamed out his name as she came, squeezing his cock tight as her body convulsed.

  This powerful male had made her his, had taken her over so that there was no denying that she belonged to him. Satisfaction filled her as she heard the wild roar of her name. Her own release had triggered his, milking him so that his seed shot into her hot and hard. She would have collapsed if his arms didn’t band around her, holding her safely within his embrace as the rolling waves of ecstasy swept through her.

  “Mine,” he whispered harshly against her neck as he continued to fill her, his large body surrounding her.

  “Mine,” was her answering declaration.

  They belonged to one another now, and Mya had never been happier.

  * * * *

  “Your cousins are driving me crazy.”

  Mya glared at her three friends as they laughed at her statement. If she’d been expecting a little sympathy, apparently she’d been wrong.

  “Well, that didn’t take long,” Kahla said with a grin. “What have they done now?”

  “I’m surprised she hasn’t killed one of them yet.” Reva commented. “And do males need a reason to be annoying? I thought that just came naturally to them.”

  “True, and they seem to excel at it,” Pia grumbled.

  Kahla chuckled. “Are you fighting with your bonded again?”

  “Not exactly. It’s just that with all the people that have been arriving, they’ve gotten even more protective. Hell, they wouldn’t even let us have dinner without coming with, and they’re just mad when I refused to allow them to sit with us.”

  All four females shifted in the chairs to look at Ryland, Mikal and Tavius, who were sitting at a table across the room. They were close enough to watch over them, but not listen in on their conversation. As if sensing they were under scrutiny, Ryland and Mikal glared at Pia, while Tavius only raised an eyebrow as he met Mya’s gaze.

  From the beginning, Tavius had gotten along with Ryland and Mikal, and during the construction of her store, Daimon had become friends with the human men. The only one of the brothers that still remained guarded around them was Maddox, but he was coming around slowly. Now that her store was finished and ready for the upcoming grand opening, the males spent time beating the hell out of each other sparring in the gym or using one of the training programs in the holo-rooms.
/>   But seeing them bond over a meal just wasn’t normal.

  “Ignore them,” Reva ordered. “Males get angry when they hear us talking about them. They know we do it, but hearing it for themselves is a whole different story.”

  Mya, Pia, Reva and Kahla had decided to have dinner at the Helios restaurant Tangala, where Kahla had reserved them a table. They’d been seated in a quiet corner where they’d have privacy as soon as they arrived, while Tavius, Ryland and Mikal had been ordered to get their own table across the room.

  Since the TechCon was starting in a few days, New Vega was packed with people. All the restaurants were filled to capacity, but Tavius and Kahla knew everyone who worked on the vessel, so they never had a problem getting a table anywhere.

  A server rushed over to take their food and drink orders, and Kahla introduced the Helios female to the rest of the group. Greetings were exchanged and after she left, Kahla said, “I’m so glad I took this evening off, even if it is only for a few hours. Sanctum has been packed the last two nights, and I can’t even imagine what it’s going to be like when this shit show actually begins.”

  Mya frowned. “I thought you were happy about New Vega hosting the TechCon?”

  “I am, but I have a low tolerance for stupid people, and they seem to be everywhere…and multiplying rapidly.”

  Reva nodded in agreement. “That’s true. I had to punch some guy in the throat earlier after he grabbed my ass.”

  Pia choked on a laugh. “Had to?”

  Reva shrugged. “Trust me, he deserved it. It was fun.”

  “I don’t doubt it.” Pia grinned, but she sobered as she turned to Mya with a questioning look. “Don’t think we’ve forgotten what you said earlier. What’s wrong? You’ve seemed happy. I mean, I’ve barely seen you all week, and I’m your guard.”

  Reva smirked. “Are they trying to fuck you to death? They do seem to keep you pretty busy these days.”

  Kahla winced. “Please, they’re still my cousins. I don’t know if I want to hear about that part of their relationship.”
