The sight wasalmostenough to make her want more.But she knew she was spent.To redirect his attention, she tugged him until he crawled up her body, leaning down when he was level with her breasts to give her one last, lingering nuzzle there.
Cara sighed, a soft, relaxed smile on her face.Then she murmured, “Your turn, baby.”
“My turn?” he questioned, running the tips of his claws under her breasts, making goosebumps erupt over her skin.
“Don’t you want to cum too?” she murmured, stroking her hands down his chest.His nipples were pierced and she ran her fingernails over the golden bars, eliciting another growl.He had an amazing body, impossibly strong, chiseled to perfection.
His eyes flared at her question, revealing his need, but she was confused when he shook his head.“Nix, female.That was for you.”
She frowned, even though her body was still humming from those mind-blowing orgasms.“But…I want to reciprocate.”
That half-smile again…goddamn.
He stroked his fingers through her hair in a gentle gesture that hurt her teeth, it was so sweet.
“I fear that if you touch me right now,” he growled, “I will not be able to control myself.If you touched me right now, I would have you on your hands and knees in a moment, rutting you like a beast from behind.”
Cara’s breath hitched and in her mind’s eye, she saw it so effortlessly, that image becoming crystal clear.
“Would you spank me as you did it?” she murmured, her voice throaty and husky, like she’d just smoked a pack of cigarettes.
“Tev, I would,” he rumbled, eyes flaring hot, shifting so that she felt just how big, how hard, and thick he truly was.All her breath left her and she wondered if they’d evenfitthat way.
Cara decided to reign it in.She knew that going all the way with sex would be a mistake right then.It was hard to think straight after all the pleasure he’d just given her, but at the very least, she knew she should think about sex and not act on impulse.
Devix rolled to the side and Cara admired the lines of his body.Surprisingly, she didn’t feel weird or awkward about what they’d just done, unlike some of the other hookups she’d had in the past.It felt…right.Like it was the most natural thing for her to be lying there, naked, after he’d just pleasured her out of her mind.
She couldn’t imagine what sex with him would be like if he was that intense giving her oral.
Devix lifted her from the floor, holding her upright as she got her balance.His hands never left her, even when she asked for his shirt to slip over her head.
The material smelled like him and Cara automatically knew that she wouldn’t wash it and she wouldn’t give it back to him either.
“Thank you,” she said softly, looking up at him.“I…I think I really needed that.”
And it was the truth.Already, she felt more relaxed.Strangely enough, all the confusing emotions that had been coursing through her body lately seemed…calm.She would’ve thought that hooking up with him would’ve made hermoreconfused, not less.
His words seemed tense, like he was forcing them out, when he said, “You should rest for now,luxiva.The past few spans have been hard on your body.”
Well, she coulddefinitelynap after that, she decided.And even though she wouldn’t mind napping withhim, she knew she should have some alone time, to sort through what had just happened.
“Okay,” she said.“You’re right.”
He shifted on his feet, those nipple piercings catching the light.
“I never thought I would hear those words fall from your tongue, female,” he said.And it took her a little while to figure out he wasteasingher.
She hit his shoulder and turned on her heel.“Don’t get used to it.”
Then she tossed him a smile over her shoulder right before she left the training room.
It was amazing what a good orgasm—or three—could do for a girl.
TWELVE
This is our little routine now, Cara thought as she stepped onto the bridge.A familiar sight greeted her…Devix, sitting in the chair.Except this time, her chair was already in place and he didn’t have the goblet of alcohol with him.Instead, he was keying in something on the control panels.
True to form, Cara stepped off the elevator tube and went to watch him, studying the way his long, strong fingers flew over the numerous buttons and keys like he’d been doing it all his life.And perhaps he had been.Cara didn’t know much about him.
