“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to,” Miranda said after Leah was silent for too long.
“Let’s just say that I’d like to forget where I came from.”
“Fair enough.” Miranda patted Leah’s hand, then rose to her feet. “Well, I suppose I ought to go find Pettak. Thank you for speaking with me. I’ll be sure to find you and say goodbye if we do end up leaving Ressiktron.”
“I hope you’re able to come to an understanding with your mate. Good luck.”
After saying goodbye to Miranda, Leah decided to head for the gardens. On her way to the palace’s main entrance, she spotted Jav.
The sight of him, so big and tall and handsome, as he strode toward her, made her heart race with excitement. His black warrior’s uniform clung to his body, the form-fitting material accentuating his sizable muscles. His nostrils flared when he reached her, and he grabbed her hand without a word and led her down a corridor.
She was shocked when he urged her into an alcove and pulled a curtain to close them in. Her pulse increased as she stared up at him, wondering what he was planning to do. There was a heated look in his eyes, but surely he didn’t plan to claim her here. She could hear the footsteps of passersby in the corridor. They didn’t exactly have adequate privacy at the moment.
“Jav, wait. What are you—”
He grasped her hard and kissed her, cutting off her protests.
Chapter 20
Jav couldn’t wait until he brought Leah back to his quarters.
He had to have her. Rightfluxxingnow. But before he sank his cock into her welcoming depths, he had to taste her. His blood heated and his vision blurred as his craving for the sweetness between her thighs spurred him into action.
He pushed her back on the padded bench seat and started pushing her dress up, anxious to bare her to his gaze.
“Jav, for the love of God, we’re in public. Someone might hear us.” She whimpered when he trailed two fingers over her pussy, touching her through the thin layer of her undergarments.
Meeting her gaze, he said, “Then you’d better be very, very quiet, my sweet mate.”
Pink suffused her cheeks and her eyes widened. She opened her mouth to protest again, but soon covered her mouth with one hand. He was touching her again, stroking his fingers along her intimate parts, teasing her overtop her panties. She jerked toward him and released a soft moan. Her eyes widened further and she clamped a second hand over her mouth.
“Naughty, naughty,” Jav said in a teasing tone. “You’d better control yourself, Leah, or the entire palace is going to know you’re in here getting your pussy licked.”
“Jav, keep your voice down!” she whispered after briefly uncovering her mouth.
He chuckled and slipped a finger beneath her panties. With a light touch, he ran his digit through her nether lips, groaning when he felt the warmth of her moisture.
“So wet,” he murmured. “You’re all wet and ready for my cock, aren’t you?”
She shuddered and whimpered, her thighs quivering as she rolled her hips toward him, seeking his touch even as she gave him a sharp look, still obviously nervous over the prospect of others hearing them. His enhanced senses would allow him to detect even the faintest of footsteps approaching, however. If anyone walked too close to the alcove, he would be ready in case they dared to peek inside.
With one quick movement, he tore Leah’s panties off her. He shoved the remnants of the fabric into his pocket and waggled his lower forehead ridges at her. “A souvenir,” he said.
Her eyes danced with humor for a moment, but her visage soon turned urgent when he pushed two thick fingers into her sopping wet entrance. She tensed around the intrusion and another soft whimper left her. Her body arched and she writhed upon the bench seat as he traced her clit with his tongue, savoring the sweet but pungent taste of her feminine arousal.
Gods, he couldn’t get enough of her, this beautiful human female who was his sweetest treasure.
He created a steady rhythm of thrusting into her tightness with his fingers, still circling his tongue over her pulsing clit. She continually whimpered and arched into his touch, so lovely, so responsive, and his cock hardened as his balls drew up tight.
Fluxx, he ached to be inside her now, but he wanted to feel her coming on his tongue first, wanted to feel her insides clamping down around his plunging digits as a quaking release stole through her.
The intoxicating scent of her was enough to drive him to madness. He rocked back on his heels for a moment, removing his tongue from her clit, and took a long inhale. He started growling, then quickly stopped himself when Leah shot him a worried look. He didn’t wish for anyone to overhear them and walk too close to the alcove out of curiosity. He needed to stay quiet, just as he’d ordered her to do.
He returned his attention to her pussy, deepening the thrusts of his fingers and swirling his tongue faster over her clit. She came upon his mouth but a moment later, writhing and keening low in her throat, the slightest noise of pleasure, but he heard it. He also heard her shaky exhale and the rapid beating of her heart.
After wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, he fixed her with a commanding look.
“Turn around and bend over the bench, sweet Leah. You’re going to take my cock from behind.”
