Page 23 of A Mate For Matrix
Straightening, he quietly walked down the hallway, staying to the side so he wouldn’t step on the loose board. He knew K-Nine was aware that he was standing outside. The sound of K-Nine’s nails against the wood floor alerted him that his friend was giving him his opening.
He stepped through the door and paused, leaving enough room for K-Nine to slip by him. His gaze remained locked on Jana. The tender smile on his lips grew when she held out her hand to him. He didn’t hesitate to grasp the slender thread of hope for their future.
Matrix’s hand tightened on Jana’s when he felt the slight tremble in it. A soft groan escaped him when he saw the uncertainty in her eyes. If he was any type of gentleman, he would tuck her into bed and return to the couch in the living room. He had never been one and never would be worried about that title. Instead, he closed the distance between them, capturing her lips with his in a fierce kiss guaranteed to erase any doubts about his desire for her.
“Lights,” Jana whispered as she frantically pulled at his shirt.
“Yes, they are on,” Matrix murmured, pressing a line of passionate kisses along her jaw as his hands pulled at the tie of her robe.
“I mean, shouldn’t they be off?” Jana asked in concern.
“Why?” Matrix asked. “I want to see you,” he said, pulling back to look down at her. “Is it a custom of yours that you can only mate in the dark?”
Jana blushed and shook her head. “No, it’s just, I can’t remember if the couple make love with the lights on or with them off. I’ve never really paid any attention to whether the authors said you should or shouldn’t.”
Matrix frowned down at her. It took several long seconds for him to process what she was saying. He carefully brushed her hair back from her face before holding it still.
“Jana, how many lovers have you had?” he asked in a quiet voice.
“Lots… Well, in my dreams,” she murmured, looking up at him with an uneasy smile. “You’ll be the first real one.”
“I’ll be…” Matrix groaned and bowed his head. He pressed a kiss against her exposed shoulder. This changed everything. This was not going to be a hot and heavy flash of fire. Tonight was going to be a slow and very painful lesson in self-restraint... for him. Lifting his head, he once again stared down at her. “Will you trust me?”
Jana’s eyes softened, and she nodded shyly. “Yes,” she whispered.
“Then the lights stay on,” he murmured, leaning down to take her lips in a hard, possessive kiss.
His mind raced as he thought of all the ways he could make this memorable for her. He traced his fingers across the smooth skin of her collarbone. Goosebumps rose under his touch, and her breathing increased. He took his time releasing her robe and pushing it open.
He was thankful they were in her larger bed instead of the narrow bunk aboard the transport. Rising, he pulled his shirt off and unbuckled the belt around his waist. He had removed his boots earlier when he had entered the back porch area. Sliding off the bed, he pulled off his pants and kicked them aside.
“You aren’t wearing any underwear!” Jana squeaked, her eyes glued to his throbbing cock.
He released a soft, husky chuckle. He swore when he felt the blood rush to his cock. The first of the four thick bands was already beginning to swell and pulse with need. He drew in a deep breath and held it for several seconds before he released it.
“No, I’m not,” he stated, pulling her up so he could slip the robe off of her. “Clothes are highly overrated, especially right now.”
“I have to agree with that,” Jana whispered, lifting her arms so he could pull her short, cotton nightgown over her head.
“Oh, yes, definitely overrated,” Matrix muttered, lifting Jana’s full breasts in his hands. “I am going to enjoy these.”
Matrix clamped down on one swollen nipple with his mouth and began to suck on it. Jana’s loud cry echoed through the house, and she slowly melted back against the pillows, pulling him down with her. Her legs parted when he nudged them with his knee.
He continued kneading and sucking each nipple, taking turns until they were both a rosy red. His hands moved down along her side, pausing when he touched her soft silk panties.
“Lift,” he ordered hoarsely against her left breast.
Jana complied with his demand, sending a wave of desire coursing through him. He was looking forward to seeing just how far she would let him push her. He quickly changed position so that he could pull the delicate peach-colored fabric off. He tossed it to the side and resumed his position between her legs. With this being her first time, he needed to have her begging for release to make it as pleasurable as possible for her.
Bending forward, he nipped at the tender skin on the inside of her right thigh. He was rewarded with another loud cry and the warm scent of her arousal. His hand ran along her leg until he could tangle his fingers in the moist, dark brown curls covering her mound. Her hips rocked, pushing impatiently against his palm.
He gently tugged on the soft curls while his gaze remained locked on her large breasts and rosy nipples. They would need to go shopping once they reached the spaceport. He knew exactly what he wanted to attach to those plump peaks. He groaned softly at the thought, and he felt the remaining bands along his cock swell.
His gaze dropped to the small patch of glistening curls. This was the first time he had ever been with a female who had hair between her legs. He realized that he liked it.
His fingers caressed the soft, swollen folds hidden within the curls. She was wet. Matrix slid his left hand under Jana’s buttocks, lifting them as he inserted first one, and then a second finger into her hot vaginal channel. Her legs fell further apart, and her panting breaths caused her breasts to sway back and forth.
“Is this what you like?” Matrix murmured, allowing his hot breath to brush over her soft curls while his fingers created a rhythm that was driving her insane.
