~MAKOTO~
I slurped down every last bit of soup, lowering the light pink bowl to sigh in relief before opening my eyes and staring at Nikolai's astonished expression.
"Can I have another one?" I asked anxiously.
He blinked a few times and shook his head, bringing him out of his daze. "That's your fourth bowl."
"Oh..." I stared back at the empty bowl and frowned. "But...I'm hungry."
He smiled. "Let's wait ten minutes. If you're hungry after ten minutes, I'll get you another bowl."
I grinned happily, feeling much better after a long hot bath and food in my belly.
"Mew." Nighty took a cautious step forward, staring at the black cat that had followed Nikolai on his way back from the kitchen after retrieving my fourth bowl of soup.
His blue eyes hadn't left Nighty's, and he continued to sit next to Nikolai with patience versus Nighty who kept apprehensively mewing.
"Nighty, if you want to play with him, you can," I suggested. She looked up at me with her mismatched eyes before she turned to stare at the black cat whose name was Moonlight.
Nighty slowly approached him, and he stayed in his place. She reached three steps before she pounced on him, both of them falling over.
Nikolai snickered, and I gawked at the two. "Nighty?! That's not how you introduce yourself to other animals." I gasped, watching her roll around with Moonlight until they both fell off the bed.
"Mew!"
"Meow!"
I peeked over the edge with Nikolai, and we watched the two of them run around playfully which made me sigh in relief. "At least they aren't killing each other," I mumbled.
"I think they're in love," Nikolai replied with a wide smile.
I gave him a look. "They just met."
Nikolai shook his head. "No. I don't think so. She wouldn't have tackled him if they had "just" met. I think that was a habit or instinct," Nikolai explained.
"Really? Hmm." I watched the two of them move around the large room.
Nick got off the bed and walked over to the door; Nighty and Moonlight scratched it with their nails which told us they wanted out. Nick opened the door and they dashed off, and the sound of their little paws hitting the steel floors faded in the distance.
Nick closed the door quietly, and I met his softened expression with my own. "How were you able to get us this room on the ship?" I asked, giving him a questioning look as I arched my eyebrow accusingly.
A mischievous smirk formed on his lips. "I have connections."
"Bullshit," I replied, only contributing to his laughter that echoed through the room.
"I told the guys if they want a second shot with you, they have to play on my side of the court and that meant moving you from that room."
"To sleep in your room?" I clarified.
He nodded. "You've been in here for an hour and have eaten four bowls of soup and drank three glasses of milk, each glass a different flavor of your favorite drink. I think I deserve a round of applause," Nick stated proudly, and I shook my head.
"Men."
"Admit it. I did a swell job." He walked over to me before he pulled his shirt off to reveal his perfectly sculpted chest that would catch anyone's attention.
I had to remind myself not to bite my lip, but resorted to licking them as I took in his sex appeal. Why is he so hot? See, this is the true benefit of men.
Nikolai chuckled, and I blushed, lifting my gaze to see his sexy smirk on his face. "I was surprisingly born this way, Butterfly. I can't help it that I'm hot, but I guess it is a benefit." He winked, only looking sexier by the second which tormented me even more because I wanted to do other things now that I was clean and fed.
Anything to distract me from the problem.
I gave him a mischievous look and he returned it with one of his own, looking so sinful and sexy.
"Sometimes I wonder if you're the king of torment," I mused, curious what his answer would be.
He chuckled, watching me shuffle to get off the bed and face him.
"I don't know. Maybe yes, maybe no. I guess it could run in my blood. I wouldn't know." He gave me a wink.
"Aside from your cruel crimes, what could you possibly do to torment someone?" I asked.
He pondered my question for a moment. A playful smile formed on his lips. "I kept singing I'm a little teapot for two days straight."
I snickered, having to place my hand over my mouth to muffle the sound. "You did not."
He chuckled quietly, those red orbs twinkling with pure amusement. "I sure did."
"I don't see how your tormenting tactics could bring someone to their knees." I gripped the bottom portion of my shirt and pulled it up, removing the fresh dark red t-shirt I'd borrowed from Nikolai after he'd brought me a fresh pair of lingerie.
"Maybe we should try it, but with more pleasurable tactics," he concurred, and I pulled the hair tie out of my pink locks, freeing them to fall gracefully down my back.
"Mission Pleasurable Tormenting? Challenge accepted." I grinned in anticipation.
His arms wrapped around my waist while his eyes scanned my body before he leaned in and kissed me gently on the neck. I closed my eyes and sighed, doing my best to let go of my anxieties so I could enjoy this moment.
I needed so badly to escape, to ignore my fears and the reality that was trying its hardest to bring me down into oblivion. Nick pulled back to look into my eyes, and I stared into his red orbs before lowering my gaze to his smooth, pink lips.
"What's wrong, my beautiful Butterfly?" Nick moved his arm from my waist to lift his hand up. With a gentle brush of his thumb across my cheek, he made me realize that I was crying.
"I...don't know?" I admitted, not even sure why I was crying. How can I feel so loved in one moment, and so lonely and hurt the next?
Nick gave me a remorseful look; worry and a hint of sadness flickered in his red eyes. "It could be because your body remembers those guys, but your mind doesn't."
He pulled me into a hug and I held him tightly, letting my tears fall. "Tell me what you’re thinking, Mako."
"I...I have five men who love me, and I don't know anything about them. I apparently have brothers, a family back in a realm I have no memory of, and not to forget I'm some Princess. How am I supposed to face the people who are expecting to see the old me? How can I simply accept all of what they tell me when I can't really trust them? Even if they mean no harm, I'm not the woman they fell in love with." I lifted my head to stare up at his worrisome eyes.
"And what about you? I've brought you into a situation where you have to mingle with people you don't like. It's not fair to you....it…just makes me feel like a burden. I'm just an added weight for you, Isa, and Ann. We're in this mess because of me!" I cried.
Nikolai lowered his head to press against mine, our noses touching slightly as he whispered. "Mako. You are NOT a burden. Isa, Anna, and I are here because we care about you. You're a part of our team, and we wouldn't be here otherwise. The moment I saw you, I knew there was a connection between us. And as crazy as this whole star knight thing sounds...maybe...there's a chance it could be true."
He kissed me tenderly and pulled back just an inch, our lips barely touching.
"I don't hate those men. I don't know if I like them either, but there's one thing I can say about them." Nick raised his hands to cradle my face, lifting my head to directly stare into his eyes as he kept his close distance.
"They love you. I can't deny or pretend that I don't see the amount of love they have for you in their eyes. They may be dealing with their own insecurities and the idea of you not remembering them anymore, but their love hasn't faded. Just as my love for you will always be present. I don't care if you can't remember, and I won't change how I feel when you do regain your memories. I'm here for YOU and will do anything I can to support you. My life was a boring mess, and I wished to find someone who'd lead me to the light. That person was you, and I won't turn back, no matter how many times you try to push me away for my 'benefit.'"
He kissed me again, and I could feel the intense connection. The way he dominated my mouth with his own and his tongue expertly slid into my mouth and took control. I lowered my hands that once rested on his waist, sliding them into his boxers and pulling the material down his hips.
He groaned, kissing me even harder, and I heard the sound of him unclipping my bra. We broke the kiss to catch our breaths, and I moved back slightly to let my bra fall. Nick tossed it to the side and pushed his boxers farther down, letting them drop to his ankles where he used one of his legs to toss them somewhere.
I took the opportunity to slide my underwear off and tossed the piece in the same direction Nick had thrown my bra. We stood there naked, and I took in every bit of him. His handsome, clean-shaven face. The way his long, silver locks hung loosely down his back, a few of the long strands that shifted to black resting against his chiseled hard rock pecs.
My eyes continued their appreciative gaze, skimming down his defined six-pack to his V-lines, and finally, resting on his long cock that made my stomach flip and my heart quicken.
If it weren’t for his markings that ran along the side of his thighs, I would have stared at his cock all night long. I'd love to suck his cock, too...
"You're biting your lip, Butterfly."
I lifted my gaze to meet his cocky smile, and I shrugged. "I can't help it when I see something I want," I admitted, and he chuckled.
He took a step forward, wrapped his arms around my waist, and squeezed my ass. "Sex now, talk later?" he asked softly, his eyes filled with desire while he licked his bottom lip.
I slowly nodded, putting my nerves in the back of my mind.
"Yes...only if..." I trailed off when his lips pressed against mine which made me smile.
He pulled back to whisper. "Just because I get to enjoy this luscious body of yours, doesn't mean I'm gonna jump off the ship right after. I'm here to stay, Mako, and together we'll re-learn the person you used to be."
That was all I needed to hear to let go, leaning up to kiss him with all my being.
I love this man. It doesn't matter that my past is about to be revealed. He's proven himself over and over again, accepting every flaw I have from day to day. Just to have him in my life is luck I never thought I deserved, and now, I want to return the favor.
I want him to enjoy my body and the pleasure our unity would bring the both of us. I need him to understand how vital he is to my life, and regardless of whether he is an orphan or his family is somewhere in the vast galaxy, that I love him. I love Nikolai so fucking much.
Pressing my naked body against his, we closed our eyes and deepened the kiss we shared. His hands rubbed my ass, squeezing it gently before he slapped it, making me moan into his mouth. I ran my fingers through his long hair and enjoyed the silky strands before I rested my hands on his shoulders and slid down to enjoy his back muscles.
When we desperately needed oxygen, I pulled back and nestled my face into his neck, my lips pressed against his skin, loving the sounds of his rapid exhale as he tried to catch his breath.
I leaned back to see those hooded red eyes, and my turquoise orbs grew wide when he lowered to his knees. Watching the man you love fall to his knees and preparing for what I knew would be one hell of an orgasmic ride, made my pussy clench and my head spin. Fuck...
A seductive grin formed on those lips, and Nick placed his hands on my waist before he slid them down slowly past my hips and to my thighs.
I gulped when he pressed his lips to my abs and cautiously moved down my body, grazing from my left side of my thighs to my right.
By the time he spread my legs out wide, I was wet and in dire need of his mouth on my pussy. I thought I was dreaming at this point because of all the many wet dreams I’d had of Nick and me, and the growing sexual tension that had escalated these past rotations, especially when we became official.
Now we were finally going past the kisses and hugs. I was thrilled and far beyond excited to enjoy him, but he was clearly having fun pleasing me first.
Nick dove right in, his face moving between my legs and his tongue not even hesitating to slide between my folds and into my wet pussy. I moaned, the sound loud and raw with yearning, and if it weren’t for Nick's hands that gripped behind my knees to keep me steady, they would have buckled.
He began to lick and suck me, the combined motions making me pant and moan as the pleasure grew stronger and stronger. While Nick continued to eat me out, one of his hands slid up to squeeze my butt cheek, slapping it on occasion and turning me on even more.
The added effect of Nick's massage and the occasional slap was making it harder for me not to climax, and as he began to alternate with licking my pussy and pulling out to suck on my clit, I knew I wouldn't last.
Even with my impending orgasm, I wanted more. My hand slid into his hair and pushed him right against my pussy as I angled my hips forward to give him better access.
"Ah! Nikolai...ah." I gritted my teeth and let go of his hair, trying to stall my orgasm the best I could, but Nikolai knew what he was doing and, with a smooth movement, pulled back and thrust two fingers right into me.
Now it really was taking my whole being to not cum right there, and Nikolai took every advantage he could, sliding his fingers in and out at a rapid pace. In less than 30 seconds I caved, my moan echoing through the room as my pussy clenched around Nick's fingers.
I gripped his shoulders to keep me upright, my legs trembling while his fingers were still deep inside me. He slowly pulled them out, making me whimper. Another moan escaped my throat when his mouth replaced those magical fingers and sucked the living hell out of me; his sucks and tongue strokes almost made me cum a second time.
He pulled away before I could get there, and I practically sighed in relief but was left feeling unsatisfied. I need more.
Rising to his feet, Nick didn't even let me think. His lips smashed into mine and his arms scooped me up with ease before he lowered me to the bed and hovered above me.
We kissed passionately while my hands roamed over his muscular back. He broke his lips from mine and began to nuzzle my neck, leaving a trail of hickeys as he sought to tease me some more; his hot mouth on my breasts, torturing me with that sinful tongue of his.
"Nikolai, fuck, no more stalling," I growled, and he chuckled before he flicked and teased each nipple. He rose back up to kiss me, and his cock was right at my opening, making me even more impatient.
My gaze caught his, and the fluid emotion that pooled in them made me pause for a moment, lost in those red eyes that were flickering to amber and midnight blue.
"Never in my life would I have thought to be blessed with a woman like you," he said softly. His words filled me up and completed me.
I cradled his face in my hands. "I don't know why I was brought to Wintalyn, or what Mother Galaxy's purpose is...but I'm so thankful that I was united with you. I'd be a broken, lost soul without your love...your guidance... everything. You've never let me down, and I know you never will," I whispered and kissed his lips.
I hoped we'd always be together, no matter what happened in the future.
My moan broke the kiss as Nick slid into me, my eyes fluttering closed as I enjoyed the way my pussy fit his massive cock. We didn't need to exchange any more words.
Our bodies began to do the talking. Nikolai started the conversation by pulling himself out until the head of his length stilled within me and, ever so slowly, slid himself back inside, filling me whole once more.
Every inch in and out shot ripples of pleasure through me, and I responded to his slow movements by kissing his lips and running my hands through his hair.
All the times we'd wanted to have sex led to this moment, and it was beyond beautiful and emotional. Nikolai felt perfect inside me, burying himself as he moaned and growled. I gripped Nick's back as our hips met one another's in a steady rhythm, my moans growing louder and more rapid as we grinded against each other.
"Mako. My butterfly. My world." Nick groaned, sucking my neck hard. I gasped and let my head fall back onto the pillow, feeling so close to my orgasm it was hard not to let go.
"Nikolai...Nick!" I begged.
Our heated gaze made Nick smile in pure bliss. "Let's cum together, Butterfly."
I nodded and pushed up to kiss him, our lips muffling our moans as Nick picked up the pace. My whole body grew rigid, and my pussy clenched around Nick's cock just when he thrust so deep inside me that we both cried out.
"Cum, Mako!" Nick ordered, and that was all I needed to climax, screaming out his name as I spiraled.
Nicks’ hot cum shot inside me, filling me up while I shivered and tried to catch my breath. The exhaustion of our emotional lovemaking hit us both, and Nick pulled out before his body could rest on mine.
He shifted to the side to make sure he didn't crush me, and once he caught a bit of his breath, he laid on his back. "Fuck...that was good."
I smiled weakly and adjusted to lay against him, his arm immediately wrapping around me protectively.
"Took us long enough," I whispered. That made him chuckle.
"You don't even know the number of times I've masturbated because of you. Especially after our training sessions," he confessed.
"When did you possibly masturbate after training?" I lifted my head slightly to see his wide smile.
"All the times I said I was going to take a quick shower? I just really needed to masturbate."
His confession made me blush and I averted my eyes. "Ohhhh." I darted my gaze toward him to catch him studying me.
"What?"
"Well...I mean...I kind of...would do that, too," I admitted, my face growing hot.
Nick actually blushed, his face growing red as he glanced away shyly. "Well...we could have solved this a long time ago."
I giggled. "We could have."
Nikolai pressed his lips against my forehead and held me tightly in his arms. "Can we rest a little bit?"
"And enjoy this blissful moment before you bomb me with information of the old me?" I suggested.
"Not necessarily bomb, but slowly overload you with information."
"That sounds just as horrid." I sighed but relaxed in his arms.
"Mako."
"Hmm?"
"I love you," he whispered.
A smile formed on my lips before I pressed them against his chest. "I love you more, Nikolai. No matter how much I try to push you away...don't leave me, okay?"
"Okay, my Butterfly," Nikolai replied and I lifted my head in time for his approaching lips.
I knew within my soul, he meant it.
