“Do…do you mind?” she asked breathlessly.

Kross shook his head.

“No, baby,” he growled softly, looking into her eyes. “I’ll suck your sweet nipples all night if you need me to.”

“Oh, Kross…” She didn’t seem to know what to say but her small hand found his head and soon he felt her soft little fingers slipping into his hair. Without a word, she tugged him forward, arching her back to offer her over-full breasts. There was a mute plea on her lovely face that he was helpless to deny.

Leaning forward again, Kross took her nipple between his lips and began to suck again—softly at first and then harder as Sylvia began to moan.

“Oh…oh,Kross!”she panted and her fingers tightened in his hair—which he fuckingloved. He cupped the breast he was sucking in both hands, massaging gently to help the nectar flow.

Kross was pretty sure she came when he switched to her second breast. He didn’t know if she was one of those women who could orgasm just from having their nipples played with or if the gas had made her extra sensitive. But the scent of her female desire rose to tease him and he was certain if he reached under the ragged skirt of her shift, he would find her soft little pussy hot and wet and ready for him.

“Oh…oh my God!” she gasped, her back arching as he sucked hard, taking as much of her breast into his mouth as he could. “Oh, Kross…I can’t…can’t help it!”

Can’t help coming, baby?he thought, feeling his cock surge again. Despite the bizarre situation, he couldn’t help taking pleasure in her pleasure. It was the Kindred way to want to make his woman come and though Sylvia wasn’t actually his, it still made him fucking hot to please her.

He finished drawing the nectar from the second breast but Sylvia didn’t seem to be done yet so he switched back to the first breast and teased her nipple gently with his teeth. At the same time, he pinched the other one, stimulating both tender peaks at once.

“Oh my God!” she gasped and her hips bucked, making him sure she had come yet again. Goddess, whatever was in that gas, it was certainly potent!

At last, Sylvia collapsed back on the bed, breathing hard. She looked so fucking beautiful, with her long, red-gold hair haloed around her head and her cheeks flushed. Her eyes were like stars—almost sleepy with sated pleasure.

Kross crawled on beside her and drew her close to him. She hesitated for a moment…then turned and pressed her face to his chest and nuzzled against him.

“That was…intense,” she whispered at last.

Kross wanted to ask if she had come—he was sure she was but he wanted to hear it from her. But he didn’t want to embarrass her again.

“Yeah, I could tell,” he murmured instead. “You okay, Princess? Feeling better now?”

She nodded and looked up at him. He could see she was blushing again.

“Much better. Er, thank you for doing that. I know it was kind of awkward.”

“We’re being held prisoner here—awkward is the least of our worries,” Kross said grimly. He stroked her flushed cheek. “And what you were saying earlier…I want you to know, I don’t blame you for us being here. I blame myself—I should have protected you better, Princess. I’m so fucking sorry.”

Her eyes widened.

“Kross, you don’t have to say that! You were the one who tried to warn me against coming here.” She sighed unhappily. “I wish I would have listened.”

“Well, you can’t change the past,” Kross pointed out. “What’s done is done. Now we need to think about getting out of here.”

“I wouldn’t think about that too hard if I were you—not if the two of you want to live.” It was Barbarous again, watching them with interest from the screen on the far wall.

As before, Kross shielded Sylvia’s body with his own, so the bastard couldn’t see her.

“What the fuck do you want now?” he growled.

“Just to see how you’re getting on. And to get some samples from sweet Sylvia.”

As he spoke, the hole in the wall irised open and the spherical silver droid hovered into the room.

“What are you doing? Stay the fuck away from her!” Kross growled. He was ready to drop-kick the fucking thing again until Barbarous spoke.

“You will not commit violence against my droid and youwillallow it to take samples,” he said coldly. “If you do not, the subjects staying in the women’s quarters will all be terminated.”

“What?” Sylvia sat up, looking horrified. “But you can’t kill them!”
