Page 97 of Decadence

He cupped her face with his hands and stared into her eyes for what felt like a mesmerizing eternity.

And then, just like that… his control finally broke.

She saw it as clearly as daylight; the way the look on his face changed, going from barely-holding-it-together to pure savage alien male.

“You are mine now,” he whispered.

Suddenly, she found herself swept up into his arms as if she were as light as a feather. Powerful muscles flexed. His warmth and scent surrounded her.

He strode forward, taking her away from the empty glowing stasis tank; away from the shadows and the strange equipment.

“W-where are we going?” she gasped as they left the medical bay altogether.

Staring straight ahead, Ikriss made long strides down the corridor, moving inhumanly fast. “Away from here.” His voice was thick with lust. “Don’t say another word, Sienna, or else I’ll be tempted to take you right here and now.”

“That wouldn’t exactly be the end of the Universe,” she whispered, defying his command as she squirmed in his arms. Her body was on fire, from her fingertips right down to the tender ache between her legs.

Ikriss drew her closer, pressing his nose to her hair and taking a deep breath. He moved as silently as night itself; glorious, otherworldly, carving an urgent, frantic path through the shadows, which seemed to part then draw together behind him, like a certain proverbial sea.

Not a single soul crossed their path.

It was as if the entire crew had decided to leave them well alone.

That was fine by her.

“The first time I claim you, it is not going to be in a fucking corridor,” he growled, increasing his pace.

Ooh.

He was almost running now, his strides so long and swift that everything around her became a blur.

Where are you taking me, Ikriss?

She desperately wanted to ask, but her heart was in her mouth, pounding like crazy.

Suddenly, his hot, demanding lips were pressed against hers.

He kissed her deeply.

He tasted of bittersweetness; of darkness and decadence.

There was no way she could resist him. He was a whirlwind; a savage, unstoppable force.

They passed through a doorway and entered a small dark hallway. Darkness engulfed them. She couldn’t see a thing. There was only Ikriss; his scent, his touch, his molten, undeniable lips.

And her body was alive again, every inch of her craving his touch.

He set her down in pitch-blackness and kissed her again, one, two, three times, his tongue hot and probing. Something inside her came undone. She responded with wildness, wanting more and more.

At last, she broke off and peered into the darkness, enjoying the perfect security of being in his arms.

With Ikriss by her side, it felt as if nothing in the Universe could threaten her ever again.

“This is… n-not fair,” she gasped. “You can see me, can’t you?”

“Perfectly well,” he rumbled. “And you are so fucking beautiful it hurts.” He kissed her again. “My Sienna. I have waited so long for you.” He ran his hands over her body, touching the small of her back, caressing her hips; her ass. She couldn’t tell whether his claws were out or not. She didn’t care.

Ikriss moved forward, pressing his naked body against hers. She felt the massive bulge of his cock as it strained against her lower belly.
