But when he touched my mind—His joy— His love— To actually feel it and to realize he could see himself as I saw him. Lanimer wasn’t just handsome; he was beautiful inside, caring, and compassionate, and he loved me—the half-breed born in the Trakellisan refugee camp!
That doesn’t define you, my love. Anyone who sees you that way is not worth your thoughts. You are so much more than that to me. We are two halves of a whole.
Lanimer held my face between his hands and stared intently into my eyes.We talked about this. You are a beautiful, intelligent being. Your species is not relevant in our relationship. Humans and Trakellisans are closely related, and you are my soul mate.
I looked into his eyes and knew there was no denying our connection. And I wanted him. His slow smile before he kissed me made me aware that he knew exactly what I was thinking.
He took my hand and led me to a hallway off the main room to the primary bedroom. It was gorgeous, with a huge bed, built-in storage, and a full bath connected. The domestic droid had made the bed beautifully with soft blue covers and pillows. It looked so pretty, and I hated to disturb it.
Facing Lanimer again, I only thought of howmuch I wanted him. It was out of character for me because I had never felt such intense lust for a man before. While I knew it was theoretically possible that Lanimer could use his mind to enhance my desire for him, that wasn’t what first attracted me to him. I just knew he was the one I wanted.
I didn’t feel manipulated. Lanimer was a gorgeous male, and his kisses were soul-searing. As we kissed, my body clamored for skin-to-skin contact. My nipples ached for attention, and my pussy clenched with the need to be filled.
We slowly undressed, our clothes dropping onto the floor, caressing, kissing, touching each other, and moving towards the bed. Lanimer was so tender, exploring my body with his hands and mouth until I squirmed with the need for him. After sucking my nipples thoroughly, Lanimer dragged his lips and tongue down my body, kissing and nibbling his way toward my throbbing core.
I could hardly breathe, anticipating what I suspected he would do next. He flicked his tongue across my clit, and I moaned, clenching my inner walls. Pleasure zinged through my body.
Lanimer held my thighs apart and drew his tongue up my channel, lapping my juices. Inmy limited experience, I’d never felt anything so exquisite. He entered me with his tongue and used it to fuck me briefly while I clawed at the bed with my fingers. Then his lips covered my clit, and he gently sucked while I whimpered as my body tensed with the building orgasm.
He knew how good his intimate kisses and licks felt, and I could feel his enjoyment in doing it.
He licked and sucked until my body seized with a powerful orgasm emanating from my womb. With each wave of pleasure, I keened, “Oh, Goddess, Lanimer!”
I didn’t even need to tell him when I’d had enough. He just knew. Wiping his face with his forearm, he crawled up beside me and pulled me against him.
“Mm, that was so much better than I imagined. Evalee, you are perfect.” He cupped my cheek and kissed me, tasting like pussy, but I didn’t mind. I was so happy just to be with him; I could tell he knew it by how he smiled at me.
We kissed and caressed until I was ready for him to take me.
He knew exactly the right moment to put his cock into me and how I wanted him to fuck me hard and deep to ensure hispleasure was as great as my own.
Fucking him was even better than just his mouth on me, and I could feel him in my mind as our bodies slammed together passionately. I was delighted that we were finally together, and we no longer had to pleasure ourselves and dream of our actual joining.
I knew that it was more than just two lonely people reaching out. We were that, but we were more than that, too. Sex with Lanimer was lightyears from any previous experience.
I had multiple orgasms, each more intense than the previous. The last made me feel like I was being pulled into an alternate reality. My body seized with ecstasy, and I wailed, “Goddess of Light. Oh, my Goddess, Lanimer!”
Then, I passed out in utter bliss.
Lanimer said it was sensory overload, but he’d been careful, so there was no real damage.
When I regained awareness, Lanimer was holding me, and we were under the covers, no longer joined.
“Wow, that was spectacular!” I smiled at him, drawing my fingertips over his cheek.
“For me, too,” he assured me. “Even better than I dreamed.”
I wanted to talk more, but the need to sleep overcame me, and my eyes closed.
Then it was morning, well after sunrise.
Even though we were underground, interior lights lit the room as if sunlight peaked through windows.
Chapter Seven
Lanimer
After sex, we drifted to sleep with Evalee’s head nestled against my shoulder. Now that I was with her, I knew she was the reason I needed to return to Zevus Mar. My skills were also required at the clinic to maintain their standard of care.
