He groans, grabbing my hand by the wrist and pulling it off him. The look in his eyes is intense and takes my breath away. "You want this, then?"
I nod, eager.
"Turn around for me. Hands on the wall."
There's a note of authority in his voice that does something to me. I suck in a breath, turn, move two steps to the wall, and put my hands on it, palms flat. The metal feels cool underneath them, at odds with how hot and flushed I am. A heavy hand touches my shoulder from behind, and immediately I stiffen, bad memories flooding in. A big body presses against me, and then a tender mouth grazes my ear.
"Good girl."
Just like that, I'm okay again. I let out a shuddering moan as he grabs my skirts and hikes them up to my waist.
Jerrok's hands are everywhere. He fists the material of my dress and exposes my ass to the cool air. "Hold this for me, love."
I take one hand off the wall and do as I'm bid, and when he drops to his knees on the floor, I spread my legs and bend over slightly, pressing my flushed cheek to the wall and pushing my ass out. A moment later, his mouth is there, his tongue dragging over my folds, and I moan. I'll never get tired of the sensation of Jerrok's ridge-covered tongue moving over my pussy. He dips the tip of his tongue into my core and then gives me a wet lick. "You're already wet for me. How do you get so wet for me so quick?"
"Because…you're so good…to me…" I pant. "I love you."
"I love you too," he says automatically, and then grips my hips with his hands and drags my ass backward, his tongue stroking deep into me. I cry out, then bite down on my hand because I don't want Bethiah—or Sleipnir—coming in and seeing me practically straddling Jerrok's face. "Love this pretty cunt," he tells me when he comes up for air. "Gonna fill it with my cock."
"Do it," I tell him. "Now. Hurry."
He gives me one last deep lick and gets to his feet. His one leg creaks as he does, but there's no groan of pain accompanying his movements and I know Jerrok feels so much better than he has in a long time. He's not thinking about anything but making love, though. He puts his hand in my hair and grabs a handful of it, tilting my head back, and I gasp, loving the feeling of being trapped by him. Just him. He cups my jaw and tilts my head so we can kiss, and it's a tender mixture of possessiveness and affection as only Jerrok does best, and it makes my pussy clench.
"My sweet love," he murmurs into my ear. "My good girl."
I moan. He knows I love to hear those words. Knows that nothing makes me wetter. He rubs his cock between my legs, stroking against my backside as he whispers to me just how perfect I am, how sexy, how beautiful.
When he pushes inside me, there are no bad thoughts, just pleasure. And as Jerrok drives into me, he holds me, arm locked around my waist even as he pounds into me from behind, his spur thrusting against the pucker of my ass with every deep stroke. It's the most obscene thing ever, and the most perfect.
I'm right where I belong—safe in my lover's arms, cherished and whole.
When I come, it's explosive with its force, and the gush of my release slides down my thighs. Wrung out, I cling to Jerrok and the wall as he pumps into me, and a few moments later, I'm wet with his release, too. Our spent breaths mingle, and then Jerrok gives a panting laugh and kisses my face. "Happy birthing day, love."
I smile, wrecked but happy. As long as I have Jerrok, every day feels like the best day of my life.
Author’s Note
Hello there!
This ended up being a very long book. You guys may have noticed that the other Risdaverse books started out short and have gotten progressively longer. I blame Covid. No, really! When She Purrs was going to be a short novella I was going to do to help ‘give back’ for those that didn’t have a lot of time to sit down and read a book thanks to the pandemic. I wanted to bring a little shot of daily joy into people’s lives and give something to look forward to online when everything just seemed like gloom and doom when you turned on the computer. Purrs was supposed to be a novella, but it turned into a novel. A long one.
Everyone loved the serial so much (me included!) that I decided to do it again with Sophie, who had a brief role in Purrs. This time, though, it’d be a novella for sure! No more than 30 chapters or so.
I had an idea for an absolute grump of a hero, a junker who lived alone on the edge of the universe and absolutely hated having company. Who would be better for him than a soft-eyed human who needed a place to belong? In my head, it was magical.
So magical that it went on for eighty seven freaking chapters. LORD. So much for my plans of writing a novella. Someday I’ll say “this will be a novella!” And it actually will be. This is not that book!
On paper, it sounds like a grim story, I know. Sophie just got out of years and years of sexual slavery and being treated like a dog. Jerrok went through hell in the military and retreated into himself. That’s my fault. My stories tend to be lighter in tone and a little sweeter overall than the set-up, but I’ve kind of parked myself in a corner with this particular set-up. Why are humans in space when our modern society isn’t up to even going to the moon anymore? SLAVERY. And because I’d established that a lot of the mesakkah out in space went through a pretty grim war (that they lost), it makes sense to have a hero that’s been scarred inside and out by that war. I hope you still enjoyed the story despite the darker trappings, though!
One thing I didn’t expect to enjoy so much was the carinoux, Sleipnir. I needed a reason as to why Sophie wouldn’t go with the brothers on their journey and why she’d have to be left on a station with Jerrok, who absolutely didn’t want her there. A protective, expensive pet fit the bill, and I really liked writing Sophie (and later Jerrok!) and her relationship with her pet.
Bethiah also showed up in this book again, because of course she did! I know some people are irked by Bethiah’s over-the-top declarations and the fact that she surrounds herself in drama. That’s exactly the point. All that drama is her cloaking herself from emotional pain, just like Jerrok hides away on his asteroid. She’ll have a story eventually, but it won’t be anytime soon. She needs more time to percolate. As for Jamef, he had a blink-and-you’ll-miss-him role in this book. That was deliberate — I wanted to give myself room to play in the future without boxing myself in. :)
And then of course we have the Corsairs. I’ve been teasing that something’s been going on with the brothers and they’ll have a story. I’m about to start that (as the next serial!) and I’m looking forward to it. I’ve had the concept for their adventure in my head for a while now and I’m excited to jump in! We’ll revisit the crew of the Jabberwock, naturally, but the vast majority of the story will be about the brothers and the women they meet (and fall in love with, because it’s a romance).
The next release will be in October, but it’ll be another Risdaverse story. Once I finished this one, I grew absolutely obsessed with Zakoar. The moment he showed up on the page, I wanted to write him. I guess I’m a sucker for a grumpy, half-metal hero, the uglier the better. Of course, the heroine never thinks he’s ugly! He’s just different and desperately in need of love (Cue heart-eyes here). The title will be WHEN SHE DANCES and it’ll be about the girl dancing in the cantina. I guess it’s true and there really are no walk-on characters in a Ruby Dixon book…because I apparently really like giving myself work. Lol.
If you’re in the mood for a daily dose, we’ll be starting the Corsair stories soon, which means you can follow along either on my Facebook page or on my Ruby Dixon website. Thanks for going on this journey with me. It’s always such a pleasure to post a chapter and see the responses of everyone reading it as we go. It’s really a lot of fun and I hope you’ll join in! <3
As always, thank you for being a fan and I hope you’re hanging in there. 2020 has been a weird-ass year but we’re getting through it!
