“There was no transport plan and no one was at the pad to escort the new arrival,” he continued. “Per the queen’s orders,we are to assume any unscheduled arrival is either invader or pirate and act accordingly.”
“So, you shoot to kill an unarmed female?” I countered.
“The arrival was illegal,” he explained. “Queen Alienor’s orders are clear. The pirates have grown bold, General.”
Indeed, they were a problem. But how had the queen infiltrated this facility, my facility, and issued commands, to my soldiers, behind my back? The mention of Queen Alienor again had my cock waning, although not for long because the female’s hand settled over mine, which was still wrapped around the base.
Fuck me, I was going to come all over myself.
Think about the queen. The miserable shrew. She was not a pleasant woman and had driven Insuri toward dark times these past two decades. I could do nothing about her rule, but I was in charge of these two.
And, possibly, the woman between my thighs. I slid my hand away from the base of my cock and wrapped hers around me. She instantly began to stroke me, root to tip.
“Sir?” Faolan’s narrowed gaze darted repeatedly to his fellow guard. He looked like I felt, ready to shoot the asshole himself. No male with a shred of honor would shoot an unarmed female. “General? What are your orders?”
I realized I hadn’t said anything further, too distracted by the female and her newfound eagerness.
I cleared my throat. “As you can see, no one is in this office. I will contact you directly if I come across the female. Station guards at every door. If she has not left the building, she will eventually come to us.” I glared at Peadair. “Give me your weapon. Leave it here until I have had a chance to review the security footage.”
“Sir? General, I was following the queen’s orders. You can’t?—”
“I can. This is my command, my building. You will leave your weapon until I determine you can be trusted not to murder innocent females.” When he opened his mouth to protest again, I slammed my free hand down on top of my desk. “Leave your weapon or spend the night in the brig. Your choice.”
The small hand wrapped around my cock squeezed. Stroked. I had to get these idiots out of here. Now. I looked at Faolan as his companion reluctantly laid his rifle flat across the top of my desk and stepped back. “You have orders from me not to shoot. Any soldier who fires on an unarmed female will be disobeying a direct order. Spread the word. You are not to use your weapons again.”
“Yes, General.” They nodded at the order. If someone armed and dangerous really had transported unannounced, my soldiers were expected to shoot to kill. However, the only thing dangerous about the woman who was stroking my cock was the way my body responded.
“Peadair, I will make a note of your use of a weapon on an unarmed Insuri female.”
Sweat began to dot my brow as I felt my orgasm brewing at the base of my spine.
“Yes, sir,” they said in unison, even though I was speaking to the overzealous one. The one whose allegiance clearly rested with the queen. The gleam in his eye was dark and seething, but he said no more. Turning on their heels, they left, their heavy footfall indicating they followed my orders, heading in the direction of the soldiers’ operational center on the other side of the base. No one would be asleep. Not with that infernal alarm blaring for so long.
With one hand wrapped around my cock and the other on my knee, the female pushed my chair back. I was large and could easily stop her, but why should I? If she wanted my cock, I wouldnot deny her. She crawled out from beneath the desk and knelt before me, her lips inches from my hard length.
“I don’t know why, but I need this,” she breathed, eyeing my cock like a precious gift she’d been denied. “You. God, your cock is so big.” She stroked me, root to tip with a bold twist. “I’ve never been a fan of giving BJs but I want to taste you.” She licked her lips.
“It is I who taste, my lady.” With her hands on me, I didn’t want to talk about anything but pleasuring her, but I was the general here. I needed answers. “Perhaps we should talk about your transport and your reason for returning to Insuri without a security escort?”
Her gaze flicked up to meet mine. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes filled with arousal and need. Fuck. I’d never had a female look at me in such a manner. My cock jumped in her small hand as the scent of her arousal reached the special receptors in the back of my throat, driving me to the edge of control, making me need to taste her.
“You wish to talk about that right now?” she wondered. “I have my hand on your cock, which is insane, because you’re you and I’m me.” She began to squirm, and I watched as she licked her lips again. “My pussy’s dripping. I can’t believe I’m telling you this.”
My hips bucked involuntarily at the velvety words. I cleared my throat. “The soldiers on patrol will remain by the entry doors for the remainder of their shift. We are alone. Come out further from beneath my desk.”
“I can’t believe I’m doing this,” she whispered. “I can’t believe I’m manhandling a cock. I need to think about the transport and what happened. It’s got to be a dream.”
“No dream, my lady. I assure you, every inch of my cock is real.” I studied her. Her breath escaped in little pants, her heat, potent. Her need, tangible. “If I didn’t know better, I’d thinkyou’ve been activated? Am I your Resonant? Is this a claiming? Or do you simply require pleasure?”
“Claiming?” she countered, her gaze flicking up to meet mine, then back to my cock. “No. What are you talking about?”
Decades of practice made it easy to hide a level of disappointment that shocked me. I had never wanted to be claimed by a female. Once the Resonance period was activated, the energies of our bodies aligning would drive both male and female mad with lust. I’d heard of females whose Resonance had been activated, they’d claimed their mates, and the chaos of the mating periods lasted weeks before their bodies returned to equilibrium, before they could be in the same room without wanting to tear the clothing from one another and fuck until they were unconscious.
I’d never wanted to be that out of control, that desperate for the touch of another. Seemed a massive inconvenience. I had work to do.
However, it was every unmated male’s duty to pleasure a female in need, unless he had good reason to deny her. I had no reason to deny the beautiful creature kneeling between my legs. “Tell me what you need, female.”
“You. I want you to fuck me because I can’t think straight. I think it’s from the transport. My body is totally out of control. I need your cock inside me. I need to come. What do you say to that?”
