“You are mine, Princess. Say it.”
“Yours. Always yours,” she said as the man drew another orgasm from her. Not as intense as before, but enough that she no longer cared that the wood bench was digging into her knees or her face was flat on a plate that hadn’t yet been cleared.
“Want to shoot inside you.” Ren’s words came out strained, tattered, like how her heart felt from the emotion she heard in him. It was the final connection, the one that risked tying them together forever if she became pregnant. He’d never released inside of her, not since that first time when she’d been high and had worked him into a frenzy.
Hannah used what energy she had left to slam back against him and flex her muscles inside, squeezing him.
“Fuck, yes,” he said as he shot inside her this time. She could feel his seed sliding down her leg as his body draped over hers. He said nothing more as he stood there, still pulsing inside of her. His hands ran up her back to her shoulders, simply touching her, as gentle as anyone had ever touched her. It was so unlike Ren; she’d come to expect rough from him. As his mouth neared her ear, she stilled so she could luxuriate in the sound of his ragged breathing. She’d done that to him. Made him breathless.
“I don’t care that I have to share you with the others, not if it’s what you want,” he whispered in her ear. “But you’re mine in a way you’ll never belong to them.”
His arms hooked around her midsection as he slid free and helped her stand. She faced him, giving him that connection he so needed. She had to admit, she’d come to need it too.
This was the real Ren. Not the one who swore and enjoyed aggravating Ky’Li, or the one who buried himself in his workshop for hours at a time, alone, avoiding everyone else. This here, the man who bared his soul to her in a way he did for no other was the true Ren, the one who needed others, but didn’t know how to rely on them.
He was relying on her now. That was a heavy weight to bear, especially under the intensity of those eyes that bore right through her outer layers of caution.
“What way is that?” she asked. “We’re all equal here, you’ve said it yourself.”
“Vaughn said that. I just didn’t disagree.”
“I don’t think that—”
He cut off her protest with another searing kiss. If she hadn’t already fallen for Ren, she’d fall for him all over again.
His lips released hers, leaving her mouth open and wanting more.
His smile curled into a grin. “You looking for me to put something in that mouth of yours, Princess?” he asked as he ran a finger along her lower lip.
She hadn’t closed her mouth yet. Somehow, she felt like she was always three steps behind Ren, but that was okay. He’d wait for her to catch up, or he’d offer his hand and pull her along with him, but he’d never leave her behind. Never. Just like she could never leave him.
Without warning, she bit down on his finger. Not hard, but enough to make him yank his finger back. She worried for a moment, about how he’d react, but his eyes lit with a heated intensity that made her wonder if they’d ever get out of the damn kitchen and onto a softer surface.
“That right there, Princess. That proves I have a part of you they’ll never know.”
“The part that bites wayward fingers?”
“The part that is not afraid, of anything. The part that can let go and be herself without worrying about anyone else, even if only for a short time.”
He was right, damn it. He was right. The entire time with him, she hadn’t worried about anyone else. Not Sersie and how he’d take the fact that Ren had kept her from touching him and not Ky’Li who, if he walked in, would be hurt by seeing her with another man.
“I-I don’t know what to say, Ren.”
“Nothing to say.” He flashed one of his more casual, carefree smiles. “Come on, Princess. You deserve a soak in a hot bath.”
Clearly, she hadn’t heard him right. “We have a bathtub?”
Those deep blue eyes sparkled.
“First a spaceship, now a tub. What else are you hiding from me, Ren?”
He pressed his cock, a very fine cock that was already hard again against her belly. “Play your cards right, Princess, and I’ll show you.”
They snuck out back to the far part of the property to a recess she’d never noticed before due to the thick foliage abutting the fencing. Ren peeled back the cover of a deep tub that had been warmed by solar cells. She got to soak, luxuriate in the warm water until her muscles were loose and her body as relaxed as could be. Of course, simply soaking in a tub wasn’t practical. Ren was determined to show her a few of those surprises he had waiting for her.
