Page 25 of The Interstellar Rake's Irresistible Kiss
For a long moment, she listened to her throbbing heart. She had never been physically restrained before. Even on thatdreaded space station, she’d been drugged and held in stasis, but never tied up. Waves of shivers passed down her spine, but…not fear.
“I can’t touch you like this,” she complained.
He laughed softly at her whining. “You already did. And will again, soon. But it’s my turn now.” His voice dropped an octave. “After you say yes.”
He had her captured, at his mercy, quivering…and she’d never feltherself in safer hands. “Yes,” she whispered. “Oh yes.”
Her reward for yielding was another one of those irresistible kisses. His tongue traced the seam of her lips and delved inside with a leisurely thoroughness that left her panting. His free hand roamed up her bare back, not soothing her shivers but driving them deeper until her whole body was one harmonic vibration under his caress. And allthe while, he held her upright, his grip around her wrists never wavering.
She twisted forward against the binding of the silky fabric to rub against him. Maybe she couldn’t touch him with her hands…
At the lightning tingle of her nipples brushing against his chest, she whimpered into his mouth. His oath was explosive as he flung away the nightgown, and his arm dropped to the small of her back,to drag her tight against him. So much for his torturous teasing.
He kissed her so hard their teeth clicked, and it was like an ignition switch between them. His low rumble of excitement seethed through her when she clamped her hands on his ass and yanked him to her. He still had both feet on the floor while she was kneeling on the bed, which placed the rampant jut of his cock right at the openingbetween her thighs.
With just a little nudge of her hips… She gasped as the meaty length of his erection slid past the slick heat at her core. He stroked himself once, deep enough to poke out the backside under her butt cheeks, and he smirked down at her when she whimpered again at the promise of just how much he’d give her.
“Half of me is Thorkon,” he said. “But the other half hails from thenext galaxy over, and on my natal world, a slow planetary rotation means our dark period lasts forever. My people had to find something to do all night.”
“All night?” The promise was starting to sound like a delicious threat. She clamped her thighs together, to show him she’d give as good as she got, and his pale blue eyes flared wide. “We only have a few hours left, so make it count.”
Witha growl, he bent her back over his arm, kicking out of his pants which had still been bunched around his knees. His lips trailed hotly down her throat and traced a collapsing spiral over her breast. When she arched up into him with a keening whine, he clamped his teeth on the wet, swollen nipple and suckled hard. Her breath sharpened to a near cry, and he switched to the other breast with a murmurof delight and licked his way inward until she was writhing on the unyielding bar of his forearm. Finally, he laid her back while he prowled up onto the mattress to loom over her, the heavy weight of him pinning her legs and his thick cock thrusting against her belly.
“I know you’ve been checked over by the medics,” he said. “And I want you to know, so was I before I took command of theGrandy.”
She’d known from girl-talk with Rayna that infections and unwanted pregnancy weren’t a concern with all the futuristic advancements of living on Azthronos, but her chest tightened at the evidence ofhisconcern for her. He wasn’t just charming and compatible—he was kind and caring.
She cupped her hand over his cheek, her fingertips brushing the silvery crescent scar as she stared into thepale blue of his eyes. “Then go ahead and take command of me.”
