He didn’t pull off. Instead, he sucked me even deeper until I could feel the back of his throat. And that was when I lost it, and began to spurt.

How do I describe how luscious Turk’s cream was? It was salty and sweet with a hint of candied bitter cherries—my favorite dessert when I was little. I don’t know if it tasted that way because of something he ate…or I simply perceived it that way because he was my Fated Mate. Either way, it was absolutely delicious and I couldn’t get enough of it.

I was in luck because he had a lot to give. Spurt after spurt shot down my throat as his shaft jerked between my lips and I swallowed it all eagerly.

At last the terrible Need that had been tormenting me all day was met. I had the urge to slip my hand between my thighs and touch myself as I sucked him, but I somehow found the presence of mind not to do that and give myself away. Still, my whole body felt like it was on fire with desire even as the dryness in my throat finally eased.

It wasn’t until Turk finally finished coming and withdrew from me that the haze of lust that had clouded my vision began to lift and I fully realized what I had done.

Here I was, still fully clothed, on my knees in the shower, drenched and with no explanation for why I had suddenly decided to come on to my superior officer.

I was under no illusions about what was going to happen to me now. Turk might have enjoyed the way I sucked him but now that he was finished coming, he was probably going to be angry with me. He had told me over and over he was no “lover of men” and now he thought another man had just come into the shower and sucked him off—andIwas the man.

He hadn’t even wanted to talk about the kiss we’d shared…and now I had pushed things between us much,muchfurther.

Goddess of the Four Faces, I’ll be lucky if he doesn’t throw me in the Brig!

As the realization hit me, I scrambled to my feet.

“Sorry—I’m so sorry, Captain!” I exclaimed and fled from the shower, dripping water and filled with shame.

TURK

Cass ran away so quickly I didn’t have time to talk to him about what had just happened between us. I stood there, alone in the shower, feeling stunned for a moment until it occurred to me that I needed to go find him. I didn’t want him wandering around the ship this time of night where Jerx or one of the other Crewmembers might catch him and do unspeakable things to him.

Quickly, I wrapped a towel around my waist and left the shower, hoping to catch him before he went too far.

I needn’t have worried though—I found him huddled in a corner of my Ready Room, dripping all over the black floor mat while my robo-vacuum buzzed and hummed around him, trying anxiously to suck up the puddles of water that were forming from his sodden uniform.

“Cass?” I made his name a question as I looked down at him. He had his knees drawn up to his chin and his arms wrapped around them. At first he wouldn’t look up to meet my eyes. “Cass, look at me,” I ordered.

Finally, he looked up and I saw abject fear in those warm amber depths.

“I’m sorry, Captain,” he said quickly. “I don’t…don’t know what came over me! I just…when I saw you in the shower and I’ve been wanting to…to do that for so long…”

“To do what? Suck me off?” I asked bluntly.

His light brown cheeks went dark with a blush and he nodded stiffly.

“I know it sounds crazy but I felt so…sothirstyfor…for your cream. And I wanted so badly to suck you.” He shifted miserably, his wet uniform making a squelching sound. “You can throw me in the Brig if you want—I wouldn’t blame you.”

“Gods, Cass—I’m not going to throw you in the Brig for sucking my cock!” I growled, irritated that he would think I’d do such a thing.

“But…aren’t you mad at me?” he asked tentatively. “I mean, I know you said you don’t like other men…”

“I don’t,” I said and sighed. “With one exception, apparently. Look, let’s get you dried off and we’ll talk about it.”

I got him back to the bathroom and waited while he changed into his night clothes, keeping his body turned modestly away from me. I made a mental note to myself to take his sodden uniform down to the steam cleaner but for now, I needed to deal with what had just happened between us.

Or did I? Really, was it such a big deal? Again I remembered Jerx’s words when he’d claimed that Catamites needed to “suck cock and get fucked.” That was a crude way to put it, but I too had heard that those from Cata Prime had sexual needs that must be met. That was probably the reason why Cass had lost his inhibitions and gotten into the shower with me.

There was simply no other explanation I could think of.
