Page 14 of Kameer's Mate
I smooth my hand down her thigh, then force her legs to part slightly. The aroma of her need becomes so strong I can almost taste it on my tongue.Fluxx, I cannot wait to feast on her pussy. I cannot wait to make her shiver with pleasure.
I reach for her chin and force her to meet my gaze. Her dark brown eyes are flecked with gold. Beautiful. So beautiful.
“I’ll never let you go, pretty human. You belong to me now.”
Chapter 7
MANDY
I won’t hurt you.Not until we are mated, that is.
I’ll never let you go.
You belong to me now.
I paid for you.
Chief Kameer’s ominous statements swirl in my mind. Disbelief surges inside me. This whole day almost seems like a dream. A nightmare. But the Darrvason engineer feels solid and so very real next to me. The warmth of his huge body somehow makes me want to snuggle closer to him, even though my rational mind screams that I ought to jump to my feet and try to escape. Problem is, I’m not certain my legs will work right now.
I wonder if Kameer knows that, until a few hours ago, I was engaged to a Founder. Did Captain Warren reveal this information during their negotiations?
But then a frightful thought strikes me, and I find myself struggling for air. What if the captain or Kameer had something to do with Ned’s death? His grandsons said it was probably aheart attack or a stroke, but a full autopsy hasn’t been completed yet.
I peer at Kameer, wondering if I’m sitting next to a cold-blooded killer, wondering if I’m about tomatewith a murderous beast. I swallow hard, then try to regulate my breathing.
If I ask Kameer if he killed Ned, will he give me an honest answer? As I stare into his glowing red eyes, I think he would. I’m too afraid of his response to ask.
He continues holding my chin, and with his other hand he reaches for my hair. He strokes his long fingers through my locks. A growl resonates from his throat. His eyes darken a few shades yet remain luminous.
The feel of his hands in my hair does something to me. Something I don’t quite understand. My scalp prickles with awareness, and goosebumps erupt all over my body. Warmth quakes between my thighs, a delicious pulsating heat that makes me want to squirm and press my thighs together. My upper arms also tingle and itch the way they did when I met him coming off the elevator.
The huge Darrvason leans closer until his nose brushes along my neck. He takes a long inhale and another low growl rumbles from his chest. It’s a savage noise, one that ought to scare me more than it does. Part of me wants to hear him growl again. I like the way his deep voice and his growls vibrate through me and incite the achiness in my loins.
My heart skips a beat.
Am I experiencing sexual excitement for the first time? Is that why I feel so unsettled? I think about how Chief Kameer mentioned detecting myarousal.
I’m several months past due for a hormone suppression shot. It’s entirely possible. I think about the pro-abstinence lectures led by morality officers that I’ve attended over the years. I alsothink about the descriptions of intercourse I’ve read in banned books.
Okay, maybe I’ve done a little more law breaking than I realized, but to be fair, almost everyone I know sneaks a banned book now and then. It’s the same with prohibited movies and music.
To my mortification, a whimper escapes my throat as Kameer leans back slightly but continues stroking my hair. His touch is calling up urges I never expected to endure. I find myself wanting to touch him in return, to stroke my fingers through his short black locks that are streaked with white. I also long to caress his dark, textured skin.
What is happening to me?
“This is wrong,” I blurt. “You shouldn’t touch me, and we shouldn’t mate. Sexual intercourse can be very dangerous. It causes disease and injury and madness and?—”
“It’s not dangerous, pretty human. Copulation is a perfectly natural activity, one that I suspect you will find pleasurable.” A smile tugs at his lips, though I don’t get the sense that he’s mocking me. “I know about the hormone suppression shots and that it’s likely been a while since you’ve had one. That’s why you’re becoming…excited. That is why I can detect the scent of your arousal. But you needn’t be afraid. It’s your body’s way of preparing you to accept my cocks.”
My stomach does a little flip. Cocks. It would appear the rumors about Darrvason males possessing two appendages are true. Oh God. One is a daunting enough prospect, but I can’t imagine how two will work.
I glance at Kameer’s crotch and notice a massive bulge. My face promptly heats. In my embarrassment, I try to pull away from him, but he tightens his hand in my hair.
A gasp catches in my throat, and the warmth quaking between my thighs deepens. The slight pain he’s causingcoalesces with my pleasure, sending warm quaking pulses straight to my core. To my utter mortification, I release a faint whimpering moan.
“So innocent,” he says in that rumbling bass voice of his, “yet so very aroused. I suspect if I reach into your pants and touch your center, pretty human, I’ll find you’re soaking wet.”
“No. You won’t.” I shake my head, even though he’s speaking the truth. Because as I clamp my thighs shut and squirm in place, I can feel the slickness gathering in my underwear. My heart races faster and I jerk my hips upward ever so slightly, as though seeking… something. His touch? Shame heats my face.
