When David’s hand lifted away from her pussy, she almost howled her frustration. She craved more of that exquisite sensation. Her hips rocked backward seeking the stiff cock she could feel pressing against her ass. His fingers unfastened her pants, drawing her attention.
She tried to straighten to help him remove her pants. One of her hands left the wall. His hand left her pants and once again pressed her palm to the wall as his body pushed her forward and a little off balance.
“Keep them there, baby. I’ll take care of your pants. I don’t need any help taking these off.” His hand returned to her hip as soon as her hand pressed to the wall.
She trembled as he eased her pants down. Even as he pushed the cloth down her hips, his fingers teased the tight nub of her nipple. She ached to press back against him and feel the thick ridge of his cock. The chance to have him skin to skin added further temptation. She twisted her hips, eager to get the pants down and feel his cock driving deep into her.
The material slid down below her knees. He didn’t tug them all the way off, though. His hand left her breast and she groaned. The loss of the heat of his palm almost made her turn in his arms, but she held back. She heard the parting of fabric and a rustle before he eased closer to her. Anticipation surged through her at the sound.
She arched back against him. Her body ached for more of his strokes and kisses. The need to race forward and grab the pleasure pulsed through her. Slick wetness coated her thighs and she had a hard time not dropping her hand between her legs and stroking her clit until she came. She held back, because she yearned to feel the thickness of his cock sliding into her pussy.
He pressed his hand against the small of her back, urging her to bend forward. She felt the brush of his cock against her thigh. He was driving her crazy. She could feel the light tremor in his body and knew he wanted her as badly, but he was moving so slowly.
She didn’t know how long she could take it. The head nudged her pussy, before easing into the channel. She gasped and pushed back, her muscles tightening around his length. His hips jerked and his dick surged fully into her. She loved the feel of his thick length and was more than ready for the hard, fast fuck he promised.
“So tight, baby.” His arm slipped around her hips and his hand cupped over her pussy.
She eagerly rolled her hips, eager for more. His cock slowly retreated and she rocked backward unwilling to lose the feeling of fullness, but she had to have more. Two of his fingers curled, parting the lips of her pussy and brushed over her sensitive clit.
Her breath hitched and her heart raced even faster as the extra sensation threatened to send her over the edge. She fought the rising need. Not yet. Not until he gave her what they both needed. Her hips drove back against his.
A groan tore from his lips and he seemed to lose control. His hips lunged forward, hard. She loved the ferocity and tried to savor every moment. He dropped kisses on her shoulder and neck even as his cock plunged deep. She wanted to kiss him and feel his lips moving against hers.
“Please, David.” Her hips rolled back to meet the driving force of his.
“Let go, baby.” David’s fingers circled the small nubbin.
The last bit of restraint inside her broke. She moaned and her hips desperately pushed back to meet his as pleasure rolled through her body. David’s cock thrust into her faster and harder and she welcomed the ferocity. The brush of his fingers on her clit extended the fierce intensity of the orgasm. She shivered, drawing in shuddering breaths.
His own orgasm took him and she could feel tremors shake his body. He continued to rock against her. After a while, he stilled and his head rested on her shoulder as he leaned over her. His warm, moist breath puffed over her skin and the rapid beat of his heart thrummed against her back. He spread kisses over her shoulder before slowly straightening away from her.
“I wish we could stay like this, but we need to clean up and get dressed. Someone will eventually come here to see how the probe is coming.” He ran his hand over her back, the touch lingering. “Robert might even show up here. I know he planned to get a little time with you himself.”
“I look forward to that. The rushed pace won’t continue forever. We simply have to be ready when we arrive in the system. They’ve located three habitable planets so far within travel distance of what appears to be the area where the guidance lock stops. That means we’ll require at least three probes and drones.” She straightened and reached for her pants. The feel of slick wetness on her thighs made her grimace. She’d have to make a stop at the bathroom.
“And we can enjoy some time while the machines are doing their work.” David smiled. “Come on, we’ll both go to the nearest bathroom and wash up before coming back. I’ll help you with the drone.”
Chapter Eight
Suz looked at the screen hoping to see some kind of information return already, but even as she compulsively checked, she knew it wouldn’t be there. The probe to the closest planet was still in transit. As she expected it would be.
She put a hand on her lower back and rubbed. An ache had built there from bending over, but she didn’t straighten. She didn’t know why she was so fixated when there were hours before results would begin coming in, but her mind locked on the display.
They’d finally arrived in the system and regained control of the ship. There had been two full rotations of the five crews since they’d discovered the sabotage. More than ten months had passed, but she didn’t know exactly how long they’d been traveling. She now realized when the ship threw in extra days in the rotation, because she paid attention to it. The computer was still putting in a few extra hours every once in a while.
The probes had all been launched and were on the way to their target planets. Suz rolled her shoulders and tried to ease away the nervous tension. Her hair hung in wild tangles and stuck out at odd angles, because she kept running her fingers through it. The waiting had begun only hours ago, but she was already going crazy with impotent worry. She couldn’t do anything to lessen the period between the probes departure and arrival at the selected planets.
Suz heard the door open. She ignored it for a while as she focused on the computer. When someone cleared their voice, she turned and saw Robert standing beside the bed.
She glanced back at the screen. Part of her wished she could pull them all back and add a few more components. Those probes and drones had been as meticulously made as they could manage under the circumstances, but they didn’t have some of the equipment for specific measurements not to mention the time. The amount of power remaining restricted their stay on the ship. They had to carefully balance safety against the need for information.
The limited time available also played a part in what they could do. They couldn’t study long term changes to the environment. Basically, they would have to choose based on whether it could sustain life at the moment and if the system’s star seemed stable along with a few other factors.
It could be days before the probes even reached the planets. The ship had stopped at a point between the two systems where they’d found possible life-sustaining planets. Power levels were kept as minimal as possible to allow them to do as much as possible.
There wouldn’t even be another rotation of crew from the cryopods if the search extended for some reason. This crew would take care of the selection and landing not only to conserve energy. Robert was the captain. He considered it part of his duties to make sure they found a safe place to live.
“Come here, Suz.” Robert sat on the large bed.
Suz turned from the small table where she’d put the work computer. There was a bed along one wall and the small stand across the room from it. The little stand was meant to hold small items, such as the wristband trackers they all wore.
Unlike the room where they’d been meant to communicate and work through problems, these quarters had been designed for sleep and sex, not conversation or relaxation. Chatting and exercise or games usually happened out in the public areas, whi
ch is why she had her computer on the tiny table. She didn’t have even a chair she could sit on.
She sighed and looked back at the display. Well, it wasn’t going anywhere and there wouldn’t be anything new on it for a while. That wouldn’t change the urge to check it, but maybe she could find some distraction with Robert. She centered the computer to make sure it wouldn’t accidentally fall off while she was away from it.
She took Robert’s hand and slipped onto the bed. He curled an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close. She leaned against him and closed her eyes, savoring the momentary distraction. The job of building those probes seemed to have ruled her every waking thought.
“Talk to me, Suz. What’s on your mind?” Robert turned her a little so that he could look at her.
“Mostly, it’s frustration and dread. The probes and drones we have might not be enough. We might not catch something because of limited time or the lack of equipment. There are so many sensors I wish we had and that I couldn’t rig up because we simply didn’t have the components for them.” She shook her head.
“And the time?” Robert asked.
“We don’t have time for an extensive study of the planets or even likely landing areas. We won’t know if the area is geologically stable for months, maybe years after we’ve been on the planet.” Suz balled her fist and wished she could smack one of those One Planet crazies.
Those fanatics didn’t have to send them way off course to make the colony seem to be a failure. They could have simply infected the satellites and cut all possibility of communication. It would be years before the colonists were in a position to launch satellites. First, they had to begin building a life there. Reestablishing contact with their home world came after ensuring their survival and the stability of the colony.
“I need you to calm down and take a few deep breaths.” Robert put a hand on her leg and waited.
She breathed slowly as he’d suggested. It did help calm the rising surge of emotion. She kept the unhurried inhale and exhale until she felt at peace enough to talk without temper or panic rising up within her.
“Better?” He asked.
“Yes.” She grimaced and embarrassment sent heat washing up her cheeks.
“Alright, I have some questions for you.” He took her hand.
“I’ll answer them. What are your questions?” She thought perhaps he’d ask her something specific about the drone or probe. Although he’d kept up with the progress of the building, he hadn’t been able to get involved with the specifics because he’d been helping in other areas.
“What type of materials did you have available to build the drones?” He raised an eyebrow.
“Only what was here and we could scrounge or make from extra parts. You know that.” She frowned at him. That was something they’d talked about before.
“Did you make every instrument you possibly could?” Robert tilted his head and looked at her.
She sighed, realizing what he wanted her to see. “Yes, I used every type of sensor I could find.”
“Is there a way that you could make our fuel last any longer than we’ve already estimated?” He tightened his hand around hers.
“Not without endangering our lives.” She grimaced at the reminder that there were plenty of things she couldn’t control. The lights and internal power were only a small fraction of the power usage. Propulsion and control used the most fuel. They also needed extra to land on the planet safely.
“Good. You’ve done everything you could to make sure we have a good chance of surviving, baby. We can drive ourselves crazy thinking about how much better the situation would be if only this or that thing is different. We have to focus on this situation and this moment.” His hand released hers, but he picked her up and pulled her into his lap. “To tell the truth, I intend to savor the moments we have now. We’ll all be busy once we land.”
“Hugely busy. Do you think you’ll still like to cuddle with me when I come in from a hard day working with the plants?” She snuggled into his arms. She’d worry about the read outs later. He was right. They had this time together and soon enough they’d have to rush around preparing the ship to break into landing sections.
“Baby, I’ll always enjoy cuddling with you, and if you’re dirty, I’ll certainly take my time cleaning you.” He began unfastening her shirt. “There are so many things I’m looking forward to doing with you once we get on the planet.”
“Like what?” She looked into his eyes, wondering if he would respond seriously or suggestively. The sexual heat beginning to build between them added to the possibility of the second, but she wondered if something more than that lay behind the observation.
“Well, some of it is the normal things we’ve missed while on the ship. I’d love to live in a house with you and David. Walk with you somewhere we’re not observed by at least four other sets of eyes.” He pushed the fabric of her shirt wide and his eyes lowered to the thrust of her breath against her bra.
She rolled her shoulder and let the sleeve fall down her arm. She wanted the garment off, so she could feel his hands on her skin. He was right about eyes on them whenever they walked around the ship. Because all the active spaces were communal and the space for living restricted to a small part of the ship, it was almost impossible not to run into someone along the way.
“I’d like that too. Maybe a long walk through the country side or swim in a lake with just you two and no one to interrupt.” She smiled and trailed her fingers across his shoulders.
That had become one of her fondest dreams. Sometimes, she’d appreciate something as simple as sleeping beside them without a tone to jolt them awake. Being able to cuddle and stay in bed with them until they came out on their own also ranked as one of her favorite fantasies.
“After we land, I definitely plan to find some place to swim with you and David.” Robert unfastened the catch on her bra.
The bra popped open, freeing her breasts from confinement. She drew in a small gasp as cool air hit her heated skin. Her nipples tightened and a stinging ache streaked from the two points. As he eased the shirt over her shoulders, she wriggled one arm free. If he was going to take her clothes off, she definitely planned to reciprocate. She intended to touch and play with Robert as much as he did her.
Her fingers lifted to his shirt and she made quick work of the fastenings before he distracted her. She pushed the shirt wide, but didn’t move on to his pants, yet. The temptation to strip those off to get her hands on his cock definitely built. She would give in to it soon. Now, she focused on teasing and savoring the time with him.
She smoothed her hands across his chest. So much muscled flesh available for her to explore, and she didn’t try to resist the urge. Her eyes followed the swirl of her fingers as she traced them over his chest. His hands flattened to her back and began sweeping them up and down. Her touch remained light and teasing, even though she knew he’d like a little firmer touch. She drew her fingers over the hard points of his flat nipples. Her nails scraped over the tight tips.
“Damn, you aren’t playing, are you, baby?” He drew in a hissing breath.
“Oh, I can definitely play, but now I’m teasing you a little.” Suz leaned forward and drew her tongue across the hardened peak. She didn’t want long and slow now, although the pleasure always washed over her, sweet and hot. She yearned to feel his strength, his weight and the fast thrust of his hips as he drove into her.
He groaned and his fingers threaded through her hair. His hand tightened, but didn’t tug her away. He urged her lips closer. She gave him what he wished. Her lips pressed against the flat disc, and for a moment, she simply left it there.
“Who’s the tease now?” His rough voice rumbled in his chest and she could feel the vibrations against her lips. “I have plenty of ideas about what to do to you if you don’t know what you desire.”
“I know what I plan. I was simply taking my time.” She lapped at the nipple, but returned to the brown disc and lightly scraped her t
eeth over the dark peak.
“Your time might run out baby,” he delivered the warning with a low laugh.
A delicious thought crossed her mind. How much could she provoke him before he took control? She pressed her mouth over his nipple and sucked. Her hand stroked over his chest and down his abdomen. She wanted to rip away that formidable discipline and feel the dominance as he took her.
She nibbled at the hard nub and enjoyed the salty taste of his skin. Her hand glided over the waistband, tracing the edge. She flicked open the catch to his pants. She slid her hand into the widening gap. He drew in a slow breath and his muscles tensed when her fingers drifted over his cock.
She clasped the thick shaft and gently guided it through the opening. Her fingers trailed up his cock and circled the head. She drew her thumb across the head. His legs tensed, but he didn’t try to stop her. She curled her fingers around it, tightening them as she stroked, but careful not to use too much force.
He groaned and his hips rose. She lifted her head to look at him, amazed that he’d let her stroke him so long. She loved the opportunity and enjoyed the sight of his muscles tightening as the need rose higher in him. Her mind locked on the thought of closing her mouth around the rounded head. The thought of sucking at his cock sent a thrill through her.
She brushed kisses over his chest and slid off his lap. A smile curved her lips as she dropped another peck on his stomach. When her mouth paused at his belly button, he reached up and gripped her shoulders. She looked up at him and saw the hunger burning in his eyes. His mouth tightened and his chest rose rapidly.
“Not now, baby. I want to be inside you. It’s been too many days since we’ve had enough time to do more than have a quickie and fall asleep.” Robert’s hands slipped around her waist, lifting her away from her goal.
She climbed onto the bed even though she craved the taste and feel of his dick as she took it in her mouth. He eased down between her legs. Excitement curled through her. He urged her thighs wider and then his hands smoothed up her thighs.
