Zorvak
Feeling the hurt that blasted through our bond, I couldn’t take it any longer. Making sure the coordinates were locked in, all systems were functioning within normal limits, I stalked off the bridge in search of Cami. To let her continue with these absurd assumptions would only cause more harm. I had to fix this…Now.
I followed the bond that pulled me toward her, which only solidified the fact that she would be my mate. How could I ever have another when she filled every cell inside my body? Time to set things straight.
I found her standing inside someone’s quarters. By the richness of the room, I would guess it belonged to the owner of this vessel. The hurt shining in her eyes tore at my heart. All I wanted to do was make her feel better. When she told me to stop, my own heart ached from rejection.
Then, when she agreed to be my bond mate, a fierceness surged forward. She was mine. Mine to love. Mine to protect. I carried her to the large bed, needing to taste her sweet nectar. Her desire flooded my senses and I knew the moment she opened to me, mine, body, and soul, and I could only do the same for her.
As I lapped at her sweet nectar, my sex throbbed, hard and erect, and when she climaxed, my fingers splayed across her stomach, gripping her hips so she couldn’t pull away. I drank my fill before turning her on her side.
With her open to me, I sunk deep in her tight channel. In this position, I could see the swell of her perky breast as well as the curve of her ass. My hands roamed both her backside and front before threading my fingers through her silky red hair. When I caught her lust filled gaze, I tumbled into the deep green eyes with flakes of amber. They still amazed me with their dept.
When I felt her squeeze my sex with her climax, I thrust harder… deeper. And when her orgasm started to recede, my ha’us found her nether region, bringing forth another orgasm. With my eyes closed, head thrown back, I grunted my forceful release as we came together.
I collapsed to her side and pulled her into my arms. With tender kisses on her temple, I asked with a sated voice, “Are you alright?”
She rolled, gave me a sleepy, sated smile. “Yes. As long as you still want me as your mate.”
“Of course I do.” I tenderly kissed the tip of her nose, then the side of her lips.
“But…?”
“There is no but. It will be difficult at first, yes, but nothing we cannot get through together.”
“Such as?” She raised a worried eyebrow, which I promptly kissed away with another tender kiss.
“Someone tried to get rid of me and I don’t know who.”
“You think I will be in danger?”
I gently kissed the top of her forehead. “I’ll protect you.” The loving smile on her face clenched my heart. If anything ever happened to her… I closed my eyes to ward off the thoughts of losing her.
She held my gaze before glancing down, bashfully. Using her fingertips, she drew lazy circles on my forearm. “I don’t want to get rid of the NI. Not yet.” She lifted her worried eyes to mine. “Without it, I couldn’t have freed you.”
“Cami…”
“No, just hear me out. I’m not saying that I will never get rid of it, but it’s too soon. How do we know that whoever tried to get rid of you won’t do the same to me?” She let out a heavy sigh. “I do promise not to use it, though. I mean, after we land of course.”
I scoffed, then gave her a peck on the cheek. “But I do eventually want it removed, for your safety, of course. I do not need everyone after my mate.”
“Just let me get used to living on Ulaya first.”
“Okay.” With one last gentle hug, I gently kissed her lips. Peering into her eyes, I said, “I need to get back. Leaving the bridge empty was not the smartest thing to do.” I swung my legs off the bed before standing up. “I wonder if they have better clothes?”
Heading to the double doors, I grabbed the handles and swung them open. Cami came up behind me, placed her delicate hand on my shoulder and peered around.
“Wow,” she said before stepping around me, getting a full view on the enormous closet.
Female clothes lined one side, while male clothes lined the other. Cami headed to the cubes, her eyes dancing with delight. She cast me a smile over her shoulder and said, “I know what these are.”
Looking back at the different sized and colored cubes, she chose a green one that matched her eyes.
I stepped forward, laid my hand across the one she’d chosen and said, “Let me help you.”
The fabric grew until she shimmied into it, and then it formed to her curvy body. “You look amazing!” A strapless sea green dress that came just below her ass. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her.
“Thanks.” Heat rushed to her cheeks, staining them a bright pink. I never tire of her strange differences even though I never mention them.
I turned, needing to choose my own clothes. Moments later, I stepped out of the closet wearing a black pair of pants and a white shirt. My heart swelled when I noticed her lust filled gaze roaming my body. “Like what you see?”
She half grinned, and bit her lower lip. I raised one eyebrow in asking.
“Well, yes I do. I think I have a very handsome bond mate.”
My arm snaked out and snatched her in a striking grip, pulling her close. “Ohh!” she startled.
Leaning down, I let my breath tickle her ear as I whispered, “Female…” I let out a frustrated sigh, “If I had the time, I would ravish you again.”
With a happy grin, she took a step backward. “Come on, we need to get to the bridge before I change my mind.” She turned and left me watching her backside as she swayed out of the room.
