I could have cared less.
Let them all know I was on the way to claim my mate.
My mate.
Mine.
Daisy was mine.
The bio-lock on my cabin door disengaged with a loud beep, sliding quickly open.
Daisy raised her head, a slight pucker between her brows as she looked around.
A sudden, stark need that she like my quarters filled me. It was a simple room, like all the warrior quarters with a small seating area, bed, and bathing area. My weapons and shields filled the wall across from the bed and my holo-pad lay askew on the low stone table near the sofa. The area was neat, almost too neat, nearly sterile thanks to the robots that tended the domestic chores on the ship.
“So, this is your bachelor pad, huh?”
Daisy regarded me, eyes dancing with amusement and a curl to her perfect, full lips.
“Bachelor?” The word was vaguely familiar, but not enough to recognize.
She giggled and pressed her lips to my cheek in a quick kiss.
“I forget you don’t speak English through a translator and there are some words you might not know. A bachelor on Earth is an unmated male.”
“I am a mated male now,” I announced proudly, the wondered. “A mate is better than a boyfriend, correct?”
“Correct,” Daisy giggled.
“You may do anything to the room you wish. Ask Orzon to help you get anything you need.”
The gold in her eyes grew deeper, and her gaze shimmered as Daisy wound her arms around my neck.
“The only thing I need in this room is you.”
My mate.
I felt her fingers grasp the edge of the sheet around my waist and with a jerk the fabric fluttered to the floor.
I didn’t even bother trying to lift the garment from her body. Instead, I ripped it apart with a single line along her spine, the fabric falling away from her body like leaves from a tree. I liked the dress, but having her naked against me was more important.
My fingertips ran lightly across her exposed back, slipping lightly into the curves between each vertebra. My other hand followed suit, massaging my way around her full, round bottom as I moved closer to the bed.
Daisy straddled me as I sat on the edge of the bed, her slim waist fitting in my hands as she shifted her hips back and forth. I closed my eyes, relishing the pleasure that radiated through me with each delicate movement.
My lips curled into a snarl and my throat vibrated with the low, primal rumble. My teeth gently grazed her pale neck as I tasted her skin, letting out little growls of pleasure.
"What do you want my sweetling?"
"You." Her voice was little more than a needy moan. ?
I let out a low chuckle as I slowly ran my tongue over her collarbone, exploring every contour of her body with my hands. Her skin was soft and smooth like velvet under my fingertips, and my touch left a satisfied trail along every inch of her body. My movements were careful but deliberate, coaxing her nerve endings into a pleasurable buzz.
Daisy's body quivered as I licked a gentle circle around her nipple and then drew it into my mouth, my tongue rolling in small circles to send shivers of pleasure through her. Her eyelashes fluttered against her cheeks and a soft gasp escaped her lips as I teased the tender curves of her breasts. I felt the heat radiating off her body as she shifted in my lap and began torock her hips ever so slowly, grinding against me until she was trembling with pleasure.
“Daicon, please… I need…”
She leaned in, pressing her hands against my chest. I resisted the gentle force, not wanting to fall back onto the bed. Our faces were close enough that I could feel her warm breath on my lips and see a gleam of excitement in her eyes.
