Because he’d already done more with her than any female in the past. The fact that he was so willing to hold onto her like this, to keep her close, to even want to sleep beside her, already said so much about how he thought of her. How precious she was becoming to him.
But also, he’d made his decision. Tanin wasn’t one to change his mind easily. When he made a choice, it was done. He’d do whatever he needed to, use whoever and whatever he needed to, in order to meet that goal.
However, he understood most people weren’t like that. Conviction was in about as short supply as trust was in his past. Even the males he’d gathered for his crew, the ones that helped him leave, needed time to think. To decide to trust him.
He figured Garnet would need that too. But she was smiling at him, like she was eager to get started right now.
Which concerned him.
“Garnet, you-”
“Captain, sorry to bother you during your personal time.”
Tanin frowned, looking up at the ceiling. Alred wouldn’t look into one of the private rooms without permission, but he would speak through the intercom system if necessary. He chose quite a poor time to do it, however. Tanin’s annoyance was tempered though, because he knew that Alred wouldn’t have interrupted him like this without a good reason.
“What is it?” He asked, grip tightening on Garnet.
“Garnet is requested to come to med bay. I told Goldie that you two were… occupied. But she insisted. It’s important.”
“Is something wrong?” Garnet asked, sitting up. Wincing when doing so meant he was driven deeper inside her. It didn’t hurt, but she half expected it to, and so she flinched before she even felt anything. But she relaxed again when she experienced only delicious soreness.
Tanin had to grit his teeth to avoid moving. He was getting hard again. And the little shudder she let out, biting her lip to not make a sound, didn’t help.
Alred, hopefully oblivious to what they were doing, answered calmly, “I wouldn’t say anything was wrong. She had me download some tutorials for the mediring. She thinks she’s figured out how to find a hidden object on a scan. However, she needs someone to do it on, and she cannot operate the machine effectively from the bed.”
“This can’t wait?” Tanin growled through his teeth, his hands rocking Garnet’s hips despite his best efforts. She just felt so fucking good. Hot and messy and slick. He was fucking his own cum right back into her, and that made it better.
“I suppose it can wait a quarter mark or so while you two finish,” Alred said, amusement clear in his voice.
“Alred!” Garnet groaned, head falling back. “Stop looking!”
Tanin grabbed her by the neck. He pulled her back down. Putting her face in his. He snarled, not caring if Alred heard. “Don’t you dare utter another male’s name while I’m inside you.”
She shivered, cunt pulsing around him as he pumped his hips in earnest, shamelessly fucking her while she sat straddled on his lap.
“I’ll just tell her you two are finishing up your discussion and you’ll be right down.”
Neither of them responded, staring into each other’s eyes as he fucked her just like that. Hand around her throat, fingers digging into her ass, bouncing her up and down as she drug her nails down his chest, setting his skin alight, burning him with the fiery sweet touch.
It took a bit longer than a quarter mark to get down to medbay.
Chapter 32
Garnet
She felt like she was walking funny.
Was she walking funny?
Oh, damn, was itnoticeable?!
No, she was fine. She was totally-
It was noticeable. Fuck!
Garnet and Tanin walked into medbay together, Garnet doing her level best to look like she hadn’t just been fucked within an inch of her life. She already checked and there wasn’t any bruising around her neck from his hand – though she hadn’t really expected any, since he hadn’t gripped her there quitethathard.
Her hips and ass, however, were another story. There were definitely bruises there already. Old from last couple days, and fresh from this morning. Not to mention the plethora of hickies Tanin left all over her body. She was wearing long sleeves and pants to cover her arms and legs, and she had moved her hair forward to hide her neck, so she thought she was safe.
