Page 17 of Kazzon's Human Bride
His lips formed a thin, tight line. He shook his head. “Only my father knows. When I was a child, he told me not to tell another soul about my abilities. However, I suspect he told someone important in our government about my power, because as soon as I reached adulthood I was appointed to an ambassadorship, an appointment that is usually reserved for much older Tarrkuans.”
Unsure of what to say, she nodded. She supposed his special ability aided him during his negotiations with the dome-cities on Earth. If he knew when a human Leader was bullshitting him, he could more easily get the upper hand.
Silence stretched between them for a while. She rested awkwardly on his lap, still trying to keep her privates covered, acutely aware of her sore bottom. It didn’t hurt as much as when he’d first gathered her upon his lap, but she wouldn’t mind a chance to rub the sting away.
She eyed two closed doors on the other side of the room, wondering if one led to a bathroom. Maybe if she claimed to need the restroom, she could escape for a few much-needed moments alone.
As if reading her mind, he helped her to her feet and said, “You may use the bathroom and wash your face if you need to, little human, but be quick about it. There are two bathrooms in my quarters, it doesn’t matter which door you choose.” He rose to his feet, his huge muscular form towering over her, causing her heart to flutter against her ribcage.
Why did he have to be so big and scary looking?
She turned sideways and attempted to pull her sweater down to conceal her nudity. It covered her mostly, but not enough for her liking, and she could feel his stare on her protruding bottom cheeks as she scampered for the bathroom.
She closed the door and frowned when she didn’t see a lock. Not that a lock would stop Kazzon. She doubted he would have any difficulty kicking down a door.
Immediately, her hands flew to her backside. She rubbed her punished behind, then turned around in order to look at her butt in the mirror. A rosy hue covered her bottom cheeks and she flushed at the sight.
For a reason she couldn’t fathom, seeing the evidence of Kazzon’s discipline, the marks left by his flattened palm upon her backside, caused the persistent aching between her thighs to pulse anew.
What would happen when she exited the bathroom? She eyed the door, her heart racing. Well, she knewwhatwould happen, she just didn’t know how it would happen. The specifics. Would their mating be quick and businesslike? Or would Kazzon take his time?
And would he be rough or gentle?
She splashed cold water on her face and used one of the large plush towels to dry herself off. Then she stood in the middle of the large bathroom, trying to work up the courage to face what awaited her in the bedroom.
A faint tap sounded on the door.
“Time’s up, little human. Stop stalling and come out. We must consummate our mating union.Now.”
Chapter 12
Kazzon backedaway from the bathroom door and waited for Caylee to emerge. He heard her moving around inside, as well as her rapid breaths. Just when he opened his mouth to call out to her again, the door opened and she slipped out.
Her hands trembled as she pulled at her shirt, attempting to conceal her nudity. She glanced up at him, her blue eyes gleaming with worry, before lowering her head. Her submissive stance made his desire swell to new heights. Heat rolled through him and his cock hardened to the point of painfulness. He needed her now.
He reached out to her, beckoning her forward. She lifted her eyes for a moment, then hesitantly reached out, placing her hand in his.
“Are you nervous, little human?”
Another quick glance up. She opened her mouth and tried to speak, but she seemed to have trouble getting the words out, so she finally nodded and immediately returned her gaze to the floor.
“I won’t hurt you, Caylee.” Leaning down to place his lips at her ear, he kept his voice gentle. “Tell me, have you ever done this before?” Perhaps it wasn’t only the new marriage to a Tarrkuan that scared her, he thought, perhaps she was nervous about mating for the first time.
She shook her head. “No-no, I’m a vi-virgin. I-I’ve never even kissed a man.”
A sense of primal satisfaction rolled through him, knowing that he would be the first and only male to touch her. To kiss her. To claim her body.
And to tame her.
He tipped her head up and gazed into her pretty eyes, musing that the shade was similar to the sparkling blue mountain lakes found on Tarrkua. The scent of her womanly essence reached him yet again, and he savored a long inhale of the heady aroma. He dropped her chin and reached for the hem of her shirt.
Her breath caught in her throat and she shot him a pleading look.
He lifted an eyebrow at her and backed away, releasing her shirt. “Would you feel better if I removed my clothing first, little human?” He took off his shirt before she had a chance to reply, tossing it to the floor. His gaze remained riveted to hers as he began unfastening his pants.
Caylee’s eyes widened and she flushed, but she didn’t turn away from him. Her breath hitched again and she fidgeted in place. Kazzon soon realized she was pressing her thighs tightly together.
Fluxx, he couldn’t wait to taste her.
