Chapter 19
Tera woke in her own bed in the suite back at the Kilorn Prime Building. “What’s happening?” She sat up tenderly, feeling a bit achy but otherwise in no real pain.
“What’s happening?”
“Tera?” CristOF came rushing in from her bathroom. He wore nothing but a towel around his waist and water dripped from his wet hair down his slick muscled body. My God he was beautiful. She wanted to touch him, taste him while she licked the dripping water from him
He sat on the edge of the bed next to her and the towel parted a little. It was a small towel and he was a big man. She licked her lips but her mouth felt dry. Clearing her throat she managed to tear her eyes from his perfect body.
“I need some water.”
CristOF was up immediately and walking into the other room. She could hear sounds of a cabinet in the small kitchenette opening, and then he reappeared with a glass of water.
“Thank you.” She took the glass and gulped it down. Tera felt his eyes on her and her body was reacting to being this close to him. She needed answers first.
“CristOF, what happened? The last thing I remember was you were fighting with the rebel leader. He pulled a blade on you and…”
“You stepped in front of me and took the blade in your back. Do not ever do something like that again,” he narrowed his eyes at her sternly.
“I couldn’t let him hurt you,” she said.
She reached behind her to feel for the wound but her back was smooth. “I don’t feel a wound.”
He smiled as he reached back to touch where the blade had sunk in. “The nanos and a few days of rest have you healed up.”
“Days? How long was I out?”
“Two very long days. The medics sedated you for the pain before we left the island but before we reached the city, you woke up crying out in pain again. They gave you a stronger dose of sedation. I’ve remained with you at the medic facility but I was finally able to bring you to your home this morning. I thought you would feel more comfortable waking up in your own bed with familiar surroundings.”
“I do feel more comfortable, thank you for thinking of that. However, I do need to use the restroom and would like to take a shower.”
“Of course. I’ll fix you something to eat while you shower.”
Her stomach growled at the mention of food making them both laugh. She was glad that she had a nightgown on when she got out of the bed but flushed a little wondering who had put her in it. She knew it had been CristOF; he would not leave others to tend to her and the thought that he had seen her naked made her nipples harden with need. Her stomach growled again breaking the moment they were sharing.
“I’ll get your food ready,” he stood up and left the room.
Once he out of the bedroom she stood up and walked to the bathroom, closing the door behind her. She removed her nightgown and looked at herself in the mirror, turning around to look over her shoulder at her back. There was smooth unmarked skin.
“Amazing.”
She walked over to the shower stall, opened the door and the water started automatically. Waving her hand over the controls she got it to the right temperature, not too cool wanting it to be a little on the warm side. The heat should help loosen her stiff muscles.
Stepping inside the stall, she walked until she was directly under the spray. She groaned in pleasure as the water cascaded down her face and neck, then down her shoulders, chest and back.
“So good.”
“Tera did you need...?” CristOF asked, but stopped talking when he swung the door open and caught sight of her. His eyes traveled over every inch of her and she felt heat travel every place that his eyes touched.
She should tell him to leave, but she really didn’t want him to. Tera loved how he looked at her like she was the most desirable woman in the world. No one ever made her feel that way. Even when they had just talked to each other, he made her feel comfortable. He knew her better than anyone except in one area.
“CristOF,” she could hear the desire in her voice.
Making a growling sound, he moved forward never taking his eyes off of her. The pants he had put on while in the other room was loose at the waist, he pulled the pants down and stepped out of them.
Tera couldn’t tear her eyes away from him. He was big and muscled, with a golden tan all over. Even his cock was large, and the head was a little darker than his nipples. She longed to touch every bit of his skin exposed.
She didn’t protest when he stepped into the shower stall with her. He waved his hand in front of the auto dispenser and filled his hands with the hair and body wash. He raised his hands and began to massage her hair with the sudsy bath solution.
