“Yes, Commander.” His lenses focus with a whirr. “You should know, the princess is currently not in a fertile phase, and will remain so for another–”
“I donotneed to know,” I interrupt him. I pinch the bridge of my nose. “Get inside before I dismantle you. And Kiko,” I add as he turns. He whirls around immediately. “I hope you’re not reportingeverythingto Cyrel or anyone else, for that matter.”
“Understood, My Prince,” he chirps. Does he really, though?
Shaking my head, I call my nanite suit and fly up to the top of the Talon, touching down right behind Tara. She tilts her head back to look at me.
“Enjoyed the lake?” she asks, her voice husky from relaxing in the silence for hours.
“It’s very different from Avaren bodies of water.” I lie down by her side and turn my head so I’m facing her.
“How so?”
“Avaris is a lot darker than Earth,” I reply. “Some sunlight filters through the large fungi, but the moist ground is mostly illuminated by spores. That’s why we built up early on in our development.”
“Huh,” she muses with a slight smile on her lips.
“What?” I question, unable to resist smiling back.
“You just proved you can saymoistwithout it giving me the ick,”she answers, her button nose scrunched up playfully. I lift my hand to tap it.
“We don’t like moist?” I surmise. “How about damp?”
“I personally prefer damp to moist,” she says sagely.
I roll until I’m on top of her, relishing the little gasp that leaves her lips when my new position registers. “How about wet?” I murmur, pressing my pelvis against hers.
“Wet is good,” she breathes, arching up to meet me.
Growling, I kiss a path down her cheek to her ear. “I’m going to make love to you for as long as we draw breath, but that’s not what I want to say now.”
“N–no?” she stutters. “What do you want to say?”
I gently take her earlobe between my teeth, mindful of my sharp teeth against her delicate skin. “Now, I want to tell you that I’m going to fuck you until you have no other thought in your mind but how good my cock feels inside you.”
Tara moans in response, undulating against me. I move my mouth down to her neck.
“Now, I want to hear you beg me to make you come, over and over again, making you gush with each orgasm until we’re both soaked from your pussy.”
“Kairen!” she calls out, either from my words or my now-straining cock pressing against the juncture of her legs. “No one has ever talked to me like that. I didn’t expect this from you.” Her breath comes out in staggers, making the words hard to discern.
I pull back to take in her eyes. They’re glazed but unafraid. “Unexpected, perhaps. But is it welcome, Tara?”
She nods, and her arms wrap around my shoulders, applying pressure to pull me back down. However, I don’t comply until I get the answer I need.
“Use your words, Princess,” I order her. Instead of saying yes or no, she bites her lip.
“I also never thought I’d hear those words directed at me,” she says witha flush.
“Tara,” I growl, lowering my head again until my eyes are all she can see. “I need you to tell me if it’s alright that I take you against this ship until you’re incapable of speaking at all. Because your body is screamingyesat me, and I might soon forget how to be a decent male.” Her eyes widen the longer I speak. “For entire rotations, I had you near me,” I continue. “Knowing you’re my match, knowing you’re mine. Resisting the urge to show you how much I’d worship you if you’d let me.”
“Yes,” she finally breathes. “Y–yes, Kairen. I want you too.”
That’s all I let her say before I press my mouth against hers, my hands already working on pulling up her top. I detach only long enough to pull it over her head, getting my first look at her bare chest. My bravado leaves me for a moment as I gulp.
“You’re not wearing any support,” I whisper, my eyes locked on her light brown nipples, now peaking in the mountain breeze.
Her cheeks warm further in the golden light of the sun heading toward lastlight. “There’s not much there to support,” she says with a cringe.
