Adrift (The Sirilians Book 1)

by Nicole Krizek

  She shouldn’t have worried. The look of desire on Karo’s face changed into one of rapture.

  “You’re so beautiful,” he murmured. He kept one hand on her hip to hold her steady, while the other came back to her breast. He massaged it, and she locked her hand behind his head. He understood the silent invitation.

  Slowly—so slowly—he licked his lips then brought his mouth to her pebbled nipple. He licked her with the flat of his tongue, then sucked on the tip.

  Aevum groaned low in her throat. “Karo, that feels amazing!” In response, she felt his manhood throb from its position against her cleft. She rocked against him.

  “You feel so good,” he growled, never relinquishing his hold until he switched to the other breast and gave it the same attention.

  “I need more.”

  Her brain barely processed his words. He disengaged his lips before anchoring one hand behind her neck, the other still on her ass. In the next instant he spun her, basically tossing her onto the mattress. He loomed over her before locking their lips together once again.

  His body came down into the cradle of her hips—his erection riding her cleft. He sucked in a stunned breath and she arched up into him.

  Mr. Overachiever caught on quickly.

  His hips began a slow grind, the hand on her ass forcing her to arch into his thrusts. Like she’d consider stopping? Silly man!

  She cursed the damn material of his pants for getting in the way. I want to feel all of him! She slid her hands between their bodies and worked at the clasps, but her mind was so fractured with pleasure that she couldn’t get the material to part. Finally she got the top clasp undone.

  He stopped—his entire body frozen in place.

  What did I do?

  His mouth was still at her neck, his breaths tickling her ear, one arm braced over her head to keep his weight from crushing her, the other hand on her ass.

  Did I do something wrong?

  She brought her hands to his face and turned him so that she could look into his eyes. The desire was still there but now there was something else as well. Was that… doubt?

  “You okay?” Her voice sounded breathless.

  He nodded. “Yeah, just need a moment to gain control of myself before I push you too hard.”

  Push me too hard? Did he think he was rushing her into doing something she’d regret? Not likely. She’d never had sex with a man, but neither had she had feelings like this for another. No one had ever made her ache like Karo. He wasn’t forcing her at all! If anything she’d been the one to jump him in the transport.

  Before she could reply, his hand slid under her neck and she felt herself being rolled.

  Startled, she sat upright and was immediately pleased by their new position—Karo was on her bed, shirtless. His skin was a beautiful azure tone, nipples a darker blue than the rest, and he was covered with lean muscles.

  “Just… give me a minute to look at you,” he told her.

  She leaned forward and ran her lips over his pectorals paying them homage. She had to give the medical staff who’d altered his DNA credit—they’d gotten him perfect.

  “Aevum…”

  Her lips trailed to one of his nipples, and she felt him shiver under her. She wrapped her lips around the erect tip and swirled her tongue around the peak. He wrapped a hand into her hair at the back of her head which emboldened her to continue exploring.

  “Aevum, I’m on edge… I think we’d better stop while we can.”

  He certainly didn’t look like he wanted to stop. His eyes burned with arousal, and she suspected that he was saying those things to give her an out.

  Like hell. She shifted herself further down his body and continued to kiss down the ropes of his stomach, eyes locked with his.

  “Do you want to stop?” she asked him. “Because I don’t.”

  She got to the waistband of his pants and reached to undo the rest of the fasteners. His hands atop hers stopped her movement. She saw embarrassment flicker over his features.

  “I’ve never… done this before,” he confessed, “but I want you more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my life.”

  She smiled at him. “Then you shall have me.” His fasteners came undone, and his thick cock sprang free from its confines. Her mouth watered. “And I will have you.”

  She lowered her mouth, eyes locked onto her prize.

  “You don’t have to,” he reassured her.

  She nearly laughed. As long as he was okay with her continuing, that’s exactly what she’d do. She’d never had a man in her mouth before, but now she craved it. She needed to know his taste, the texture of his skin, what drove him wild with need.

  She looked into his eyes. “I’ve never done this before, but I’d like to try it with you.”

  “Are you sure?”

  “Absolutely.”

  He sat up to give her a heated kiss, but she pushed on his chest and he flopped back onto the mattress in surrender. She looked at his groin and felt a flutter of nerves.

  Karo held himself perfectly still, his hands clenched in the bedding. He was awaiting her reaction. She looked up and saw uncertainty on his features.

  I can’t have that, she thought.

  To dispell his doubt, she gave him a smile from beneath hooded eyes, before tentatively running her fingers over his engorged length. Like all other parts of him, it was long and lean. It was deep purple in color from all of the blood centered in the region.

  Instead of deterring her, seeing his manhood only made her want to take him inside of herself all the more.

  Aevum watched Karo closely for any signs of discomfort, but as she explored him he only showed signs of arousal. Emboldened, she tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, then leaned forward and licked his shaft from base to tip. It pulsed in her hands, and she licked around the head.

  His taste and smell was heady and it inflamed her arousal. She took the head into her mouth, and saw Karo’s eyes close—his head falling back onto the mattress.

  She experimented with using her tongue to lick, flick, and create suction, but when her hands played with his testicles, his hips came up off of the mattress.

  Aevum pulled back in surprise and looked up to see him breathing hard, hands once again clenched in the bedding. He opened his eyes and looked at her. “Please don’t stop!” he pleaded.

  “I don’t plan on it,” she replied in all honesty, and dove back onto him. Her ears were filled with the sounds of his groans as her mouth and hand bobbed on his large cock.

  “Yes Aevum, just like that!” he moaned.

  Her body clenched in response, and she stroked him even faster. His hips began arching up rhythmically, pushing his length farther down her throat.

  “Aevum, something’s happening! I think I’m going to…”

  His yells rang in her head as hot fluid pulsed into her mouth. She pulled back in surprise, and he continued to ejaculate hot jets that hit her everywhere.

  By the time his body relaxed, she had his seed on her face, neck, and breasts. She giggled at the mess, and he opened his eyes to look at her.

  “Oh! I’m so sorry,” he exclaimed as he sat upright.

  She laughed. “It’s alright. Next time I’ll know what to expect, and I won’t pull off of you until you’re done.”

  “You don’t have to… you know… take me in your mouth… if you don’t want to.”

  Aevum shook her head to silence his rambling.

  “I loved every second of it. But I think I’m going to go grab a washcloth.” She gave him a bright smile and hurried to the adjoining bathroom. She watched herself in the mirror while she cleaned Karo’s essence from her skin.

  He eyed her intently as she returned to the bed and removed her panties. Aevum shivered under the heat of his stare, and had to force herself to not cover her breasts with her hands. She had never stood naked in front of a man and allowed him to look his fill. It was strangely erotic.

  “You are the most beautiful creature I�
��ve ever seen,” Karo stated.

  Aevum breathed a sigh of relief. The moment she was close enough Karo shot up off the bed and grabbed her. Her back hit the blankets, and he immediately covered her body with his own. Aevum moaned at the feeling of having Karo on top of her, blanketing her with his warmth and weight. His torso slid against her nipples, which beaded at the contact.

  He kissed her deeply and braced himself on one elbow, while the other hand ran up her thigh, over her hip and butt. She squirmed, needing more of his touch. She wanted his hands everywhere at once!

  She kissed him frantically, as if that would satisfy the need that burned inside her core, but she knew it wouldn’t. Thankfully, Karo understood her need and circled his hand onto her inner thigh. He teased the sensitive skin as he slowly inched his fingers higher towards her apex.

  Aevum squirmed under his slow ministration, and barely stopped herself from grabbing his hand and placing it where she needed him. She settled for kissing him frantically some more, but couldn’t stop her hips from arching up towards him.

  “Can I touch you here?” he asked as he skimmed his fingers over her upper thigh, just a scant inch from where she needed him.

  “Yes!” she cried in response. “Please touch me!”

  He ignored her urgency and slowly slid his fingers against the outer lips of her pussy. Her body shook. She felt him explore her hairless mound, then slide a finger into the slit. He moaned against her neck, and Aevum knew that his fingers would soon be covered in her.

  To her frustration, Karo continued to take his time, running his fingers over every inch of her. His eyes remained locked onto her face, and seemed to be studying her responses—mapping out her most arousing places. Finally she couldn’t take it any longer.

  “Karincin, please!”

  “Tell me what you need?”

  “I need you to put a finger inside me!”

  “Gladly,” he groaned, then slid a finger into her sheath.

  Aevum moaned and arched her hips into his hand. He swirled his finger inside, then pumped it in and out a few times. The feeling was unlike anything Aevum had ever imagined!

  She’d touched herself on occasion whenever she was especially needy, but those times weren’t anything like having Karo perform the acts on her.

  “You’re so wet.” His voice was hoarse. “Is that for me?”

  “Yes, it’s all for you,” she cried.

  He pumped her harder than before. She felt like her body was going to fly apart, especially when he found her clit and circled his thumb around the tiny nub. Her body convulsed and he immediately caught on.

  Smart man.

  He concentrated on the little nub, massaging and pinching it until she was crazy with need. Her hips bucked into his hand, and he responded by sliding his finger back inside of her and taking her breast into his mouth at the same time.

  He suckled on her nipple, and added an additional finger to stretch her channel. Aevum felt the most wonderful pressure. She continued to ride his hand in an attempt to seek relief.

  “Are you ready to take me?” he asked.

  “Yes!”

  “You sure?”

  Was he kidding?! “Karincin, I’ll be very cross if you don’t give me that hard cock right now!”

  He smiled at her polite—yet dirty—demand, then rolled on the bed. Aevum found herself sitting astride him once again while he spread her natural lubrication onto his engorged shaft.

  “Ride me Aevum. Take me slowly into your body so that I don’t hurt you, but please ride me.”

  Aevum nodded and lifted herself onto her knees. He helped her position his cock at her entrance—even just the tip of him felt amazing! A pulse shot through her body.

  She rocked on the broad head for a minute reveling in the sensation, but soon it wasn’t enough for either of them. She braced her palms on his chest and sank down slowly. When the feeling of fullness morphed into discomfort, Karo grabbed her hips and held her still.

  He encouraged her to bend forward, then kissed her. The distraction allowed her body to ease. As she relaxed the discomfort faded into something else.

  He gently arched his hips and slid further inside her. Aevum moaned against his mouth and rocked atop him in small movements. Soon he was completely inside of her, and their pelvises were rocking against one another.

  Her back arched with the flood of sensation, and she propped herself up. That changed the angle and allowed him to penetrate her even more. Both of them moaned and moved with each another in an erotic dance, until Aevum felt her orgasm begin to crest.

  “Karo! Don’t stop!”

  In response, he grabbed onto her hips and pulled her down harder onto him while he thrust upwards. He kept the pace and managed to slide one hand forward until he could rub her clit with his thumb. The sensation was intense, and Aevum didn’t stand a chance; she came in great waves, and was glad there was no one around to hear her scream.

  Her sheath clenched around his cock, then his voice was joining hers. She felt jets inside her channel, and delighted in the fact that she’d been able to give him pleasure as well.

  She slumped forward onto his chest, trying to catch her breath while her body quaked with aftershocks. Her sheath clenched, and she loved that he was still seated deep inside of her; she really didn’t want his body to leave hers.

  Karo wrapped his arms around her back and kissed the top of her head. She tilted her face so that she could meet his lips with her own.

  “That was amazing,” she told him.

  “It certainly was.”

  They laid in companionable silence for a moment, letting their hearts slow, and Aevum found that she greatly enjoyed the intimacy. It was Karo that broke the silence.

  “Thank you for allowing me to be your first.”

  Aevum smiled against his chest. “You’re welcome. Thank you for taking care to make sure that my first time was so wonderful.”

  “I always want to take care of you.”

  Aevum propped herself onto her elbow to look him in the face. She wanted to make sure she wasn’t misreading what he was saying.

  “Always is a long time.”

  “I hope so.”

  He cupped her jaw and leaned up so that he could kiss her tenderly. Aevum melted into the kiss—into him—and hoped that he wasn’t just flying on a high of post-orgasmic bliss.

  They didn’t talk anymore about the future that evening, but instead just enjoyed the intimacy of being with one another. They finally made their way into the bathroom and shared a shower before going back to Aevum’s bed.

  After remaking the blankets that were wildly askew, and Karo denying her another round of sex because “she needed to give her body time,” he arranged them on their sides, his arm over her while her head rested on his bicep. Karo’s breathing quickly deepened, and Aevum knew that he was asleep.

  She laid awake for a few moments, then turned to watch him sleep. She still couldn’t believe that he was spending the night—naked—in her bed, or that she didn’t want him to be anywhere else.

  What was she doing? Was she actually considering Pair Bonding with him? Was she going to bind herself to someone whom the Assembly had matched to her based on their genetic compatibility?

  Before she’d met Karo she would have thought that idea the epitome of high-society-stupidity, but now—she looked over at the man asleep in her bed—it didn’t matter what had brought them together. What mattered was that he was in her life, and in the blink of an eye she found herself not wanting to live her life the old way ever again.

  She smiled at his sleeping form and turned her back to him once again, snuggling firmly against his body. His arm tightened around her, as if he didn’t want her to get away, even as he slept. She closed her eyes, and for the first time, counted herself lucky that she had been chosen by the Assembly.

  CHAPTER 14

  The next morning Karo was pleasantly surprised to see Deian enter his room inside the Medical Center. His bright
smile and lighthearted attitude was a welcomed distraction.

  “Good morning my friend!” Deian greeted. “I thought you might wanna bust outta here for a while… maybe help work on your ship?”

  Karo couldn’t get out of the Medical Center fast enough. His two security officers followed in their wake.

  “Have him back in six hours for his next dose,” Doctor Notani called from behind. The two were already through the doors.

  “Will do Doc,” Deian called back. “That’s plenty of time for you to stretch your legs a bit—maybe create a little havoc.”

  Karo chuckled at his companion.

  “No seriously, this is the most boring battlecruiser we’ve ever been assigned to.” Deian’s tone was still lighthearted, but with an undercurrent of honesty. “At least we get to work on your ship. Now that’s a challenge!”

  Deian began describing the work that had begun on the ship’s main systems. He sounded optimistic. Karo was very relieved to hear that the crews had developed a plan to replace his damaged propulsion, although Karo had no idea where he would travel to, even if the ship were fixed.

  “Did Jayda and Lukas tell you about my homeworld?” Karo asked, changing the subject.

  Deian’s smile faltered, and his steps slowed slightly. “Yeah. I’m so sorry.”

  Karo ran his hand over the top of his head in a frustrated gesture. “The hardest part is not knowing what it all means. I have so many unanswered questions, and it seems like the list just keeps growing.”

  Deian forced them both to stop, then turned to look him in the eye. “I know this is difficult for you, but you have the benefit of having Jayda on your side. That woman is a force of nature, and will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Right now, she wants nothing more than to help you.”

  Karo felt a glimmer of hope. “Do you think she’ll succeed?”

  “Hell yeah I do!” Deian’s signature smile was back in place, and he began walking again. “Not only does she have determination, but she’s also in a position of power. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but she’s a Princess of Arath.”
