“I have a lengthy list of things I want to try, but only with you. I want to take you from behind. I want to eat your pussy while you suck my cock. I want to stroke myself while you rub your hard little clit. I want to have you straddle me and ride me while I suck your nipples.”
She was breathing heavily—her body felt heavy. “When are you done working?”
He leaned back and smiled, running his hand up her back to cup the back of her head. His lips barely brushed hers. “Whenever I say. That is the advantage of being the boss.”
“I have your wrist commlink at my quarters.”
“Good. Then we will go to mine.”

Most of the people in the social area had stopped dancing when stoic, quiet Micah practically made love to the woman on the dance floor. Many of The Beings that had worked with him before the Exchange House program were stunned. He had always been the calming influence, the man who didn’t let his feelings rule him, even after he had finished the injections. He was the man without emotions, even after he had emotions. Passion and Micah didn’t seem to fit into the same sentence. It wasn’t like the facility didn’t have lots of beautiful women, no matter the race. When he went on the dance floor that was unheard of, but then to dance with the Otronian woman, seemed beyond comprehension.
In the control room, the staff were keeping surveillance all around the facility by means of security cameras, when a few of the women gasped. One woman pointed out their boss as he approached the Otronian female on the dance floor. No one had looked at him as sexual being before tonight. He had been their staid and tranquil boss. Earlier when he had walked in without a shirt displaying all those muscles usually hidden by his suits, the temperature seemed to spike in the small room.
Now he was dancing with this woman and practically having sex with her. They all looked around the room at each other, some smiled, some had their mouths agape, others were fanning themselves. Their mouths dropped open when he stopped someone passing by and pulled his wrist commlink off while the man stood close by.
“Avery,” Micah’s voice, deeper than normal, came over their ear pieces, “I’m taking the night off. Maybe tomorrow too.” The woman’s face burrowed against his neck. His arm tightened around her waist. His eyes closed momentarily.
“Definitely tomorrow.” When the line clicked off and he handed the wrist commlink to the passerby, the room was silent as he quickly pulled the woman by the hand to the exit.
“Well, fuck.” Avery’s voice was full of surprise.
Chapter Four
Micah led Harliss from the dance floor and into the hallway. He didn’t want to go to her living quarters and get his wrist commlink, and he sure didn’t want to have it interrupt him. He could take a few hours to himself and the world wouldn’t end. And if it did, at least he’d go out buried deep inside Harliss. When the bar employee walked by, he took the man’s wrist commlink and took time off without notice. It was the best he could do given the situation. He had to get her under him soon, or he’d bust.
The hallways were brightly lit all hours for security reasons, but none of that mattered. Just outside the social area, he leaned against the wall, pulled her into his arms and kissed her until he saw spots. He pulled back leaning his head on the wall before laughing. “Sorry, I could not wait.” She smiled in return.
“I don’t mind at all.” She ran her fingertips over his shoulders.
“I am sure my security staff are surprised.”
“Good. I hope they are, and they enjoyed the show.”
He grinned as he pulled her down the hallways and then down a level to his quarters. When he got to his door, he stopped short and brought his hands up to cup her face. “I hope you do not mind. I know they are watching on the security cameras.” He was smiling as he pushed her against the wall, rubbing his erection against her.
“Show off.” But she said it with a smile before pulling him in for another searing kiss. “That should let them know you’re going to have a very eventful night.” He nuzzled his face against her neck, laughing. She brought out a side of him he didn’t know he possessed. He knew why mates were so happy; his soul never felt so full. He’d never be the same, and he was glad for it.
“Come on, baby, I need you.” His deep voice reflected his desire. He heard her little moan as she brought her lips to his throat. He used his palm print to unlock his door then turned to pull her inside. He made sure the lock was in place and no one could enter without him opening the door. He knew his security staff were probably shocked and that Avery might be a little angry to find someone to fill in. So be it. He had never taken time off but decided he was going to put it all out of his mind and focus on Harliss. He needed her in his life and he wanted to convince her that they were mates.
“You look gorgeous in a suit.” She smiled as she backed away from him to get a better look. “And I had no idea you oversaw the facility.” She reached out tracing his tie with her finger.
“I only look gorgeous in a suit?” He smiled as he advanced on her.
“You’re looking for compliments. You must know you are beautiful all the time. I’m certain you have a mirror. You do shave you know.” Her features changed to show desire, her light green eyes changed color slightly, becoming more yellow.
“Honestly, I have never seen myself in that way. I am just me. Now you,” he ran his hands over her hair to her shoulders, “Harliss, you make me feel lucky to have been born, just to see you. You have changed me, and I am grateful.”
She bit her lower lip as she looked at him. “I really think I need to be honest with you.” His heart froze in his chest as she turned to sit on the couch. Was she promised-to-mate or was she going to step away from what they shared? “I don’t know how much you know about our cultures on Otron. I mean I know you know some of our people that you’ve met through the program. Knowing who you are now, I assume you know Kai and Aoki.” She reached down to take off her shoes, it seemed like she didn’t even know that she was.
“We have a Clan system on Otron. Each Clan has their own Totem and each Totem Clan has a leader. Kai’s dad is the leader of the Wolf Clan. My mom and Kai’s are sisters though, so we are different. See, my Clan is the Cougar Clan and like most cat breeds we don’t always look for or find that one person to live the rest of our life with.” His heart pounded in his chest when she peeked at him, scared what she was going to say. Afraid she was going to admit this wasn’t a serious thing for her. He thought about stopping her before she broke his heart, but she felt the need to talk with him. He put his hands in his pockets, to hide their shaking.
“Go on, Harliss.” He tried to sound unaffected but knew his voice was full of emotion.
“I just, I’m afraid what I need to say will upset you. I’m not that familiar with your culture.” He went to her then, kneeling in front of her and taking her hands. He could take the pain, if she didn’t hurt. He’d find a way to live through this.
“Harliss, I want nothing but honesty between us. I have never felt so comfortable with anyone, you bring out the best in me and I want you to feel that same way with me. There is nothing that you cannot tell me.” He tucked hair behind her ear and cupped her chin to pull her face up to look at him.
When she finally spoke, her voice was barely a whisper, “But when Cougars do find that one person, Micah, as rare as it is, we are fiercely protective and loyal. I don’t know how you feel, but deep down I know I found the one. I’ve found you. My mate.” He let out a breath he didn’t know he held.
He leaned his forehead against hers.
“I’m sorry, Micah, I didn’t want to scare you. I just couldn’t pretend this was just a casual thing for me.” He stopped her talking by covering her mouth with his. His kiss hot, all consuming.
He broke the kiss but kept his mouth on hers, “I knew, I knew you were my mate too, but I did not know if you would accept me. I was not afraid of us, I was afraid you were going to end this. I have never experienced any
thing on this level.” He opened his eyes to see her looking him, her eyes wide.
“You’re not afraid of this connection between us?”
“No. I have lived my life half a man, emotionless, cold and lonely. I do not fear anything but losing this, of losing us. When I gained emotions, I never knew something this wonderful existed. Harliss, I know I could never be happy without you in my life.” His heart did a somersault in his chest when her eyes filled with tears.
“Do not cry.” His voice was deep, full of his own emotions. “I could handle anything, but your tears.”
“I was just so afraid you’d not understand or believe me. I didn’t want to lose you.” She smiled. “And these are happy tears.”
Her tears flowed over her eyes and down her cheeks. He leaned in kissing the trail each tear took down her face, “Baby I only want you to cry happy tears. I will make sure you know you are well loved the rest of our lives.” He whispered against her temple as his hands trailed up her arms. He felt gooseflesh and pulled back to look at her. “I promise you that you are the center of my world. I will care for you first above all things. I will never stray from you or this promise.”
He smiled when she bit her bottom lip. “Is it all right with you if we move your belongings here?” He wanted to take her to bed and seal his promise, but he wanted to get this detail out of the way. At her nod he smiled. “Now, on to the good stuff.”

Harliss closed her eyes in bliss as Micah’s lips trailed down her neck to then her collarbone. “I’m going to make love to you. I want you to know how treasured you are to me, my mate.” Her breath caught in her throat, she never thought to hear those words. Micah not only knew they were mates he embraced it totally. She never knew it could feel like this.
“Are those happy tears still?” His voice surprised her. She didn’t know that she had been crying. The tip of his tongue traced the wet trail from her cheek to the corner of her eye. His lips kissed from her temple to her ear. “If not, I will need to change my tactics to make you forget what is making you sad.”
Micah stood. His eyes never leaving hers, he began to undress. His hands shook as he removed his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. When he peeled his shirt from his body, it still took her breath. “You are so beautiful, Micah. I can’t believe I’m so lucky.” He smiled as he toed off his shoes and unfastened his belt. “You’re taking your sweet time getting undressed over there.”
“You are still fully clothed. Which one of us is going too slow?” His pants hit the floor. His cock was straining against his boxer briefs. “I think one of us is overdressed.” He bent over and lifted a foot to remove a sock then repeated the movement for the other foot. He stopped undressing, staring at her. She wanted to take her time and enjoy this first time as recognized mates. His cock twitched in his underwear.
“What are you thinking?” She saw a wet spot soaking the top of underwear. Her mouth watered, wondering what he tasted like. When he licked his lips, her heart rate spiked.
“I am thinking I want to lick your sweet cunt until you scream then flip you over and take you from behind. Hard and fast until I bury balls deep inside you and fill you with my come.”
She took a shaky breath. “Oh, goddess, that sounds like a plan.”
“Only if you are undressed.” In the light of the living quarters, she saw his inky eyes change colors. Swirls of gray mixed in with the dark hue.
“Your eyes. I’ve never seen them do that.” At his raised eyebrows she moved closer to him. “They’re changing color.” She grinned at his bemused expression.
“See, I told you that you changed my life.” He reached out his hand to her and she took it with a smile. She never felt so adored, so sexy. Everyone on her planet was beautiful, she felt like a rose lost in a sea of roses. She loved her planet and her people, but she never felt different. But Micah, he made her feel special. He cupped the back of her head and pulled her close, his other hand rubbed her ass. She felt a rumble against her hand. She raised her eyebrow.
“That’s new. Since when do you,” His lips possessed hers. Her body caught fire as he tugged her dress up, his hands rubbing her skin as each inch was revealed.
“I want to taste you, Harliss. I need your scent in my nose, your juice on my tongue. I need it more than I need my own satisfaction.” Her dress was ripped over her head and landed on the couch. She was bare underneath. His mouth came back to hers, breaking only to stare in her eyes. “Wrap your legs around my waist.” His voice was deeper, rough with desire. She couldn’t stop herself from obeying. She didn’t want to. She was shocked to realize she wanted to submit to him. His hands supported her ass as he walked to the bedroom.
Micah sat her gently on the bed, his eyes never leaving her face. He said nothing as he slowly dropped to his knees bringing his face near her waist. He licked his lips as he spread her thighs with the palms of his hands. His breath fanned across her inner thighs as he moved in on his target. His lips touched her first, then his tongue lightly explored the edges of her pussy. His tongue was warm and soft as he swirled around her hard clit. When he moaned against her, she grabbed his hair, arching her back, her legs pulling him in closer. He attacked in earnest, his control seemed to have snapped. He lashed her clit hard, flicking his tongue, his gentle exploration over. His arms came around her thighs, holding her legs tight to stop her from moving away. Her body exploded in climax but instead of backing off, he plunged deep inside her, fucking her with his tongue. He’s trying to kill me.
He pulled away, “Harliss, I want you so much. I’m afraid I will slide inside you and come.” He stood, still in his boxer briefs, wet from his precome.
“Goddess, that is so hot.” She swallowed hard and reached out rubbing her fingertips over his hard shaft. His groan made her smile. “I have an idea of what you need.” She moved closer to him, pulling his waistband and shoving the soft cotton garment down Micah’s legs. She nuzzled his cock against her face, her Cougar purring.
*****
Micah’s body was on fire, his skin felt too tight. He needed Harliss, not wanted, but needed her. When her pussy was against his face, he just wanted to rub against her, surround himself with her sweet scent. He needed to taste her, remember the feel of her silky skin against his tongue. Nothing mattered but her, her pleasure. But his balls were drawn up tight and his cock was ready to explode. He knew he’d never last once he slid inside her pussy. He had no choice but to tell her, he didn’t want to disappoint her. When she rubbed her face over his hot skin, he nearly lost control.
“Harliss, I am ready to come, even that is driving me to the edge.” He fisted her hair wanting to pull her away but instead pulled her closer. When her tongue swirled around the head of his cock, his knees nearly buckled. He growled deep in his chest causing her to pull back and look at him. Her eyes had changed from their light green to a yellowish green. Something about that drove Micah crazy.
“Suck me, Harliss. Make me come in your mouth. Spread it on your body. I need it.”
Her hand wrapped around the base of his cock, “I know you do.”
As her mouth descended over the tip he threw back his head and tried to regain control. Until she pulled back his foreskin and sucked hard. He panted, lightly scratched her scalp and tried to focus on the texture of her hair. When he licked his lips, he tasted her.
“Harliss, fuck baby. Hold on, I am coming.” His cock started to vibrate, he started panting. “Squeeze it harder, use both hands. Jack faster.” She followed his directions and squeezed him making the vibrations stronger, pushing him over the edge. His deep growl filled the room as come shot from his cock, splashing in her mouth, she moaned before pulling off, letting the warm cream cover her throat and chest. Her hands continued to squeeze him as his hips pumped slowly.
He looked down as saw his come covering his mate and felt complete. This, this made her his. Her juices in his mouth, his come marking her. But he wasn’t done. He felt her need as she released his cock
and stared into his eyes.
“You taste so good, Micah. Sweet like honey water. I want to taste you again.” She slid her hands over her chest, rubbing in his scent, bringing her fingers to her mouth sucking them clean. His cock still hard.
“On your knees.” He barely recognized his own voice.
She backed up on the bed and immediately complied. She looked over her shoulder as he crawled on the bed, stalking her. He heard her breathing increase as he moved behind her, grasping his cock to enter her. He saw the head of his cock breach the opening of her pussy and knew he was home. It was so soft, silky and wet. The walls seemed to grasp him and squeeze. He’d never survive this.
He began to move inside her. He could smell her scent, and he licked his lips again, tasting her. He grasped her hips and began to move faster. Her moans drove him on as he reached around her and began to strum her clit. He heard her scream his name, her pussy gripped his cock hard. He bent over her, his teeth grabbing her shoulder near her neck, biting hard but not breaking the skin as his body flew apart, the vibrations harder than he had ever experienced. Her body pushed back hard against his, taking every inch and pushing her clit against his balls. He seemed to climax for minutes draining his balls but filling his soul.
He reluctantly released her skin from his bite, wrapped his arm around her waist and fell to his side, never leaving her body. “I am sorry, Harliss, I was so caught up in my pleasure. I hope I satisfied you. And I bit you. I am sorry.” He pulled her tightly against him, afraid he had let her down. Her laugh filled the room. He smelled her tantalizing scent, their spent passion and his own arousal. It was comforting to be surrounded by so much mingling scents.
