“I’m…with…you,” she forced out as her whole body rocked with a violent orgasm.
Then he stopped abruptly, his hands becoming gentler once more, stroking her skin, teasing her sore nipples with the burning ring. Through his hair, she saw his eyes become the usual gray pearls, his mouth curving at the corners.
He grinned. “Humans,” he said, shaking his head as if in disbelief. “Tiny but mighty, as you say.”
Alex laughed, her belly and vagina contracting around his member. “Yeah, and don’t you forget that, big guy.”
“I will not have to. You will be there to remind me.”
There was a conflicting mix of confidence and hope in his tone. Her eyes welled up. “As long as you can stand me and my bitchy attitude, you’ve got yourself a mate.”
“More than a mate, Alexandra Novona.”
Alex nodded as he reached forward and wrapped his good arm around her shoulder for a tight embrace.
“Much more,” she whispered in his shoulder.
Chapter Seventeen
“Damn. It’s like a circus tent, that thing.” Alex patted Sekmeth’s lower belly over the blanket.
He looked down at himself and frowned. “What is a circus?”
Alex chuckled. “Never mind.”
When his fingers reached under the cover and caressed her nipple, she closed her eyes and leaned back. “Mm, that’s good.”
“Would you like to try the Ghars?” Sekmeth asked before he raked her shoulder with his teeth. Tiny red lines on her skin followed in the wake of his mouth.
“The what?” Alex watched as he pulled the wand out from under the covers. “Where did you hide that thing?”
A quick laugh brightened his eyes. “I doubt I will ever return to the Gorgosh, so I brought my things with me.”
Alex looked at it for a while, wondering how it would feel to have it in her. Finally, she nodded, deciding she could trust him.
It didn’t take ten seconds for the wand to begin to pulsate and heat up. Sekmeth ran it along her side, her thighs then between her breasts. The thing was hot. Alex sucked in air through her teeth.
“Feels good?”
She nodded.
While he kissed her breasts, her belly, her hips, Sekmeth let the wand travel even lower, between her legs. “Come closer to the side.”
She did, her butt right up against the edge, with him kneeling between her knees, the wand still rubbing. When he put his ring finger in his mouth, Alex let out an excited moan. This would be good.
And it was.
The fiery pearl traced circles around her clit while he teased her anus with the tapered end of the wand. He pressed the ring end right over her lips so her sensitive bud poked out in the middle, which he tormented with his ring. Alex threw her arms over her head. Her jaws felt welded together.
When her clit began to throb with the first signs of orgasm, Sekmeth left it so he could insert the tapered end of the wand into Alex. Instinctively, her anus clenched hard around the intrusion, but when he stopped and waited, the heat and pulsations soon loosened her up so he could continue. Heat spread upward, deep, then fanned out in her belly. In and out, slow, precise movement tore a ragged moan of bliss from Alex. Spasms shook her, tightened her clit inside its ringed prison. She gasped when he bent close and flicked her exposed clit with his tongue.
She cried out, fisted his hair, meaning to pull him to her. But he resisted, kept on thrusting with the wand, occasionally giving a tongue lash to her aching bud. Alex came too many times to count, came until pain was greater than pleasure. But Sekmeth must have sensed it as well for he pulled the wand out, chucked it on the mattress beside him.
“Did you enjoy?” he asked, knowing full well she had, but probably only wanting to hear how good he was.
He was damn good and she told him so. With a snarl she wrapped her legs around his lower back and pulled him down. He thrust hard into her throbbing pussy. Rolling her hips, she met each drive with her own until her heels practically supported her entire weight. His eyes now darkened to black slits, Sekmeth withstood the assault, after a while straightening so Alex was thrust up high over his thighs.
When she thought she could take no more, Alex discovered another wave budding on the horizon. And when it crashed over her, a wall of pleasure and fire, she groaned his name over and over.
Panting, sweating, they grew still, their bodies cooled and their heartbeats returned to normal. Alex shivered and pulled the cover over them both.
“I look forward to our life together,” Sekmeth said after a while.
Alex laughed, a true belly laugh that brightened her entire outlook, and she realized she hadn’t done so in a long time. “I’m not always the charming girl you’ve come to know. I can be a bitch.”
“You humans have strange word play. First, you have a pig’s head, now you are a female canine.” He shook his head, as if lost for words.
The comms unit clicked on and interrupted Alex’s laugh. “We’re there,” Kim announced.
Both showered, dressed and joined Kim on the bridge. She wore coveralls and her hair sparkled bright orange. Alex was glad to have her old hacker back, chemically enhanced and all. It’d taken her days to stop jumping every time the comms clicked on. Kim was back. Alex grinned.
“Finally out for some air, you two? It’s like, totally gross.” Kim giggled. “Check this out.”
Out the view port, a thick cluster of small planets revolved around one larger and brighter. Alex whistled. “The Aeos System. Damn, it’s beautiful.”
Two weeks of hyperjumps had taken them to the very edge of chartered space, where Interworld would never think of sending its tentacles. Even the Yithians, the most experienced spacefarers, didn’t come out this far. The rim. Free people. No rule.
Alex slapped the backrest. “I’ve been waiting for years for this. How does this sound—‘Retired Captain Alexandra Novona’?”
Sekmeth only looked confused while Kim chuckled and clicked on her even bigger computer. The thing would soon need its own time zone.
“You sure you won’t come. Even for a short while?”
Kim shook her head. “And do nothing but watch you two copulate? Gross, Cap’n. I have things totally out there to do.”
Alex couldn’t believe the girl wanted to stay onboard the Femme Metal and continue the business. Flying alone was a hell of a boring thing to do. “Won’t you get lonely up here? Plus, it’s not safe.”
“Yes, Mom.”
Kim wasn’t quick enough to avoid the slap behind the head Alex sent her way. “It’s Cap’n Steel to you, girlie. I’m serious. What the hell are you going to do up here all by yourself? You can’t even shoot a stunner straight.”
A wide grin stretched Kim’s mouth. She nodded slowly, as though Alex was particularly dim in the brain department. “I said I’m leasing the Femme Metal for trade. I didn’t say I’d be trading people.” She sobered as a shadow crossed her gleaming eyes.
The things that girl had endured. Alex crossed her arms. “What else is there to trade?”
“Like, can openers!”
Sekmeth looked from Alex to Kim then aback again. He shook his head. “What is a can opener?”
The women both laughed hard and long before they could answer him.
Kim winked at the scowling Yithian. “It’s a totally cool toy to pry open a box full of goodies.”
“Weapons, Sekmeth. She intends to deal weapons.”
“How gross! Design them, Cap’n. Not deal them, just think them up, slap their shiny parts together and hire someone to sell them.”
“Who’s going to do that?” Alex asked, trying not to sound too worried. A kid designing weapons for deep-space ships. How many laws and principles did that break? Not as many as making her a Yithian male’s first concubine. Alex gritted her teeth.
“Remember the totally cute DJ at the club on Land’s End? He’s like, very good with people. I’m sure he’d be happy to see me again. Especially with her.”
Kim patted the controls.
“You will make an excellent weapons designer,” Sekmeth said, looking as though he’d just said the most serious thing in the world.
Alex rolled her eyes. She could feel more white hair growing. She sat in her seat, strapped herself in the harness then wrapped her bruised hands over the plastic penises. “I should paint them blue, you know.”
Sekmeth looked horrified at the notion.
Alex threw a sidelong glance at the Yithian. If anyone had told her she’d be with a Yithian, she would’ve laughed. If anyone would’ve told her she’d come to love one, she would’ve slapped them upside the head.
“Strap yourselves in, ladies and gents, I’m landing this thing.”
The Femme Metal lurched down into a tight roll, aiming for the tiny planet that would be her new home. Sekmeth’s idea. Apparently, the place had the sweetest soil, perfect for gardens. Like he’d read her mind.
Aeos System, planet 23-9. That’d make a nice address. Behind her, Sekmeth held on to the pipes above his head. He winked at her. Alex winked right back.
