And yet, my blood thrummed in my veins at the thought of Cora staring up at me from her knees, eyes wide and innocent.
“You’re joking, right?” she laughed. “All you’ve done is boss me around.You’ll be my mate. Show me your makeup. Say my name.”
She was right. In my haste, I was treating her like one of my soldiers. “Forgive me,Aneah.I’m not used to asking for anything.”
“Wow,” she said. “Even that. You didn’t ask me to forgive you. You commanded it.”
“I think you like it,” I said. “You always do what I tell you to. Do you like pleasing me, Cora?”Maybe it was the sellah loosening my tongue, because I would have never said it to a daernir female. But even high, I knew better than to let her call my bluff. And fuck me, but for the first time I could remember, a small part of mewasbluffing with this female.
But she sucked her lip into her mouth and let it out again, wet and glistening. Hesitantly, she nodded, and tension built low along my spine. Out of her view, I took myself in hand and squeezed.“Tell me.”
“Yes, sir.” Her voice was soft and breathy, and my cock twitched in my hand at the sound.
I stifled a groan.
“What my female wants, she’ll have,” I said. “If you want to please me, I’ll let you.”
Her eyes flashed with a mix of defiance and desire that had pearls of my cum leaking from my tip and wetting the material of my loose pants.
“It’s late,” I said. “You’re tired.”And I need to drain my cock, now.“Will you sleep as soon as we end our call?”
She hesitated, and I arched a brow at her. She shook her head.
“What will you do?” I prompted.
“Um…” she swallowed, her eyes darting over all she could see of me. “I’m probably going to… um. Use a vibrator.”
“Good,” I said, because I wanted to know her cunt was full while I imagined being the one to fill it. “Send me an image of your toy before you use it. And save a rec of yourself when you come.”
Her eyes went wide, her cheeks flushing nearly as dark as my own.
“Just save it,Aneah,” I said. “You aren’t ready to send that to me, yet. Just save it for now, and send it when you feel brave and want to please me.”
She shifted under the covers, eyes dilated, and her lips parted.I picked the right one.I knew it in my bones. This pretty little human wasn’t scared of me.Ibarknew she would be mine.
CHAPTER 7
CORA
“So are you a millionaire yet?”Andrew asked.
We were at Gigi’s again, my treat, since he was broke and I was doing okay. “Hardly,” I said. “But my bills are paid, and next month’s looking good.”
“Why even work?” he asked. “Just be a kept woman who never has to put out.”
I wrinkled my nose. “I’m still feeling a little guilty about it,” I said. “One guy did say that a lot of the daernir guys are just looking for some companionship, and not actual wives. So that did make me feel a little better, but… I don’t know. I think a lot of themdowant wives, and it feels dishonest to take their money when I have no intention of leaving the planet for them.”
“Tell your conscience to take a hike,” Andrew said. “Listen to the nerdy little daernir boy’s advice.”
“Oh, he’s not nerdy,” I said. “Nothing against nerdy types, but he’s something else.”
“Show me,” Andrew said, making grabby hands for my phone.
I pulled Qhev’s profile up, but I was thinking about Yiri. The growly, bossy daernir was all I could think about for the past week, though I’d heard little from him. Just a few messagesand pictures here and there. Was he talking to someone else? It wasn’t like I couldn’t find another daernir to talk to if he was. My inbox was full of requests. But I didn’t like the idea.
“This is the guy,” I said, passing my phone to Andrew. “Qhev. We’ve had a few calls. He’s fun and totally laid back. I genuinely think he’s just looking for a buddy.”
“Shit, I wanna be his buddy,” Andrew said. “Look at those abs. Uh oh. Here are his messages. Can I read?”
