As Borj finished his explanation of what was going on he glanced up to see J’kar’s expression. A brief human expression he had heard while in the bar, ‘Run, baby, run’ flitted through his mind. He could appreciate the expression as he watched J’kar’s face turn a deep, dark red.
“So, did you have oral sex?” Derik asked expectantly.
Both Lan and Borj looked at Derik like he had lost his mind! J’kar unclenched his fists, slowly stretching his long fingers out in front of him. Both Lan and Borj stood up and began moving slowly towards the door.
“How many?” J’kar asked softly.
“Just about every man on board.” Came the hesitant reply. “Those that did not hear it then have more than likely heard or listened to it by now. I would have to say everyone on board.”
J’kar closed his eyes and pictured the sweet, innocent face of his bond mate. He was going to kill her, no not kill, he needed a lot more time with her first. He would have to think of another punishment for her. Right now though all he could think of was how was he going to explain to the council members why he had to kill every man on his warship and how was he going to be able to run the damn thing by himself.
Tink stretched. She felt deliciously sore in all the right places. Reaching out with her hand she felt next to her. Bummer, he was gone. Oh well. It gave her time to shower, she thought lazily. A slow smile curved her lips when she thought about some of the things she would like to do to him in the shower. With a sigh, she sat up and realized it would have to wait. Besides, she wanted to experiment in a shower with actual running water. Groaning as she moved off the bed she made quick work of getting cleaned and dressed.
“RITA.” Tink called out.
“Yes, dear.”
“Can you locate J’kar for me?” Tink asked as she hopped around on one foot trying to get her shoe on.
“He is in the conference room off the bridge.” RITA replied. She debated telling Tink she was concerned as his respiration seemed a little fast and his blood pressure was elevated but decided against it as a brief scan seemed to show he was not ill.
“Thanks. I think I’ll head to the dining level to grab a bite to eat and meet him there. It is so cool looking out the front window of this thing.” Tink said as she grabbed one of J’kar’s shirts to wear as a light cover. It wasn’t cold but she wanted to have something of his close to her skin.
Heading out the door Tink entered the lift at the end of the hall and requested Level 3. Moving down the corridor she entered the dining hall to find it almost empty. It must be later than she thought. There were three men at a far table. They stopped their conversation and watched her as she moved towards a row of replicators. She requested a biscuit with sausage, egg and cheese on it wondering if it would actually be able to produce it. Much to her surprise an equivalent version of what she requested appeared. After requesting a cup of coffee which wasn’t quite the same but close enough she placed the items on a tray and moved to a nearby table to eat.
Sitting down she took a sip of the ‘coffee’ and decided it wasn’t half bad. She had just taken a bite out of her biscuit when a shadow fell over her. Glancing up, she was surprised to see the three men had risen and moved to stand near her table.
“Morning.” Tink said with a smile. “How are things going?”
The men glanced at each other and glanced down at Tink again. Tink raise an eyebrow at them. It was obvious they wanted something but were unsure of what to say or do. Tink had dealt enough with men to know these guys were up to something. She just didn’t know what.
“Okay. Sit down and tell what you have to say.” Tink said with a slightly bemused expression on her face. She waved to the sits near her.
“Let’s get introductions out of the way. My name is Jasmine Bell but everyone calls me Tink. What are your names?” Tink felt like she was trying to talk to a bunch of teenage boys. She could almost feel them squirming in their seats.
The smallest of the three, if you could call a man out weighing her by over a hundred pounds small, answered. “I am called Rorr. This is Toak, and that is Cale.” Each man nodded as he was introduced.
Holding out her hand to shake each man’s hand Tink smiled a welcome to each one. “So, are you guys off duty right now or just on a coffee break?”
The three men frown not sure they understood everything Tink had said. “We…” Rorr looked at Toak and Cale before continuing, “work in engineering. Yesterday, we heard the conversation you had with other members of the crew here. We wondered…” he paused again.
“We wondered if what you had said is true.” Finished Toak.
Tink looked at the three men in disbelief at first then the realization that everyone on board probably knew about what happened began to form in her brain about the same time as she got a brush of unease. If the men in engineering had heard what she had said did that mean J’kar knew about it? If so, she vaguely wondered how he would react. Shrugging her shoulders, she decided he couldn’t be too upset. It wasn’t like she had done anything wrong or anything. For crying out loud, some of the conversations in the garage could get more explicit than what she had said yesterday.
“Yeah, it was true. Most Earth men and women enjoy being together both physically and mentally.” Tink replied.
The men looked at each other with a combination of hopefulness and awe. Turning to look at Tink, Cale asked in a deep, rough voice. “Are there many women on your planet?”
“Billions!” Tink said with a grin. “Though not in America. You see our planet is made up into countries. I come from the United States of America. We have a huge population but not as big as some other countries. Over fifty percent of the population is female but you have to take into account that is all females, regardless of age. Let’s just say. There are a lot of single girls out there! Why?”
“We wish to capture us a female.” Toak answered.
Tink started laughing not stopping until she realized they were serious. “You can’t just go capture a female.” She stared at each of the three faces across from her. Pushing her hair away from her face again she let out a breath. Boy, how was she going to explain men didn’t go around ‘capturing’ females on Earth.
“Listen. If you end up on Earth you don’t go grabbing girls off the street. Some are married, have families, or are in relationships that kind of stuff. You have to meet them. Take them on dates. Get to know them. See if your feelings develop and where it takes you. What happens if it doesn’t work out? What if the girl decides she wants to go home? There are a lot of things you have to consider before you take off with some poor girl. What happens if she finds out you are an alien and she freaks out? Not everyone can handle the thought of aliens in the world. Earthlings don’t even know for sure there are others out in space. We write about it, create movies, and stuff but we don’t, or I should say never had, proof until now that aliens even existed. You could cause some poor girl to have a heart attack.” Tink explained exasperated.
Just as one of the males was going to respond Tink felt a sudden burst of rage rush through her mind. Closing her eyes, she tried to focus past what was causing it. Reaching out to J’kar, Tink could feel him in her thoughts. He was really pissed off about something. Smiling, she thought about how it would feel to run her hand along his jaw to calm him. Sending feelings of warmth and love out she hoped he could feel it. She recognized the moment he felt her touch.
“Where are you?” J’kar asked softly.
“Hanging with some guys from engineering in the dining hall.” Tink responded.
Immediately she felt J’kar’s answering rage before he blocked her from his mind. Tink frowned. What got his panty-hose in a bind? She wondered. Shrugging, she stood up.
“I’d better go. J’kar seems to be having a rough morning and I wanted to see the bridge so I’m going to head that way. Maybe I can catch up with you guys later in engineering. I’d love to take a look at what powers this baby.” Tink said as she discarded the tray and
dishes from her late breakfast in the cleaning rack.
“We would be honored to talk with you again.” Rorr said. The other two nodded their agreement and left at the same time Tink did.
Tink returned to the lift and requested the bridge. Leaning back, she tilted her head back and smiled as she thought about how much her life had changed in the past twenty-four hours. She ran her hands down the front of her and pulled J’kar’s shirt closer to her face so she could inhale his scent. Boy, she missed him and they had only been apart for a couple of hours. Straightening up as the lift slowed, she moved to exit it as soon as the doors opened.
Chapter 21
J’kar could feel Tink’s confusion at his anger. He could not control the feelings of rage coursing through his body at the knowledge she was alone with some of the males on board the warship and had shut her out. He had to collect himself before he confronted her.
He left the bridge with the intent on finding her and locking her in his room until they were planet side. He did not trust his fragile hold on his desire to tear something or someone apart. The idea of the rest of the men knowing what he had enjoyed was almost too much. He was just leaving the bridge when he looked up as the lift doors opened. A tiny bundle of energy seemed to pour out of it and right into the arms of one of his men. A berserker’s rage glazed his eyes as he saw the man put his arms around Tink.
“Oh, sorry. I should have looked where I was going!” Tink said with a smile as she looked up into the blushing face of Von. “Oh. Hey, Von. How are you doing today?”
Von was stumbling over a response when he noticed Tink’s eyes grow huge in her face. Turning, he was off-balance when he felt Tink shove his body away from hers. As he started to fall he reached out and grabbed Tink’s arm pulling her with him. They both fell in a tangle of arms and legs, Tink lying across the young warrior’s chest.
The loud roar echoed off the walls of the corridor. Before Tink realized what was happening she was lifted off the startled chest of the young warrior who was trying desperately to get up off the floor. She was shoved behind the huge figure of J’kar. Watching in disbelief, she gasped as J’kar lifted the poor guy up by his neck. Tink couldn’t believe J’kar was freaking out over a little trip and fall. Hell, she did it all the time in the garage. The guys were always teasing her about watching where she was going. Realizing he was going to hurt the poor kid Tink jumped on J’kar’s back wrapping one arm around his neck and the other over his eyes. She would have never been able to reach it if she hadn’t been in such good shape. Damn, but he was big and tall.
J’kar barely registered the slight weight on his back. It wasn’t until an arm wrapped around his throat and another covered his eyes that he jerked backwards. Other men had come out from the bridge to see what the disturbance was. Borj, Derik, and Lan were at the front. Von, who was gasping and holding his throat, stared in horror as the leader of the Prime fought to remove the little figure holding tight to him.
“Let me go.” J’kar roared.
He moved from side to side trying to grab hold of Tink. He couldn’t see a thing with her arm over his eyes. The arm around his throat wasn’t really restricting his breathing he just couldn’t see where the crew man who had his arms around Tink was and he was livid. He backed up into the wall on the other side of the corridor. Tink, instead of letting go, tightened her legs around his waist. At least she had removed her arm from his eyes. She wrapped the other arm around his neck to get an even tighter grip. Now, he could feel the beginnings of a restriction. Pressed against the wall, J’kar turned around in Tink’s arms until he was facing her. The last thing he expected her to do was lean into him and kiss him like there was no tomorrow.
Tink realized the best defense was an aggressive offense. Keep him off balance and he wouldn’t know which way to go. So, when J’kar had trapped her between the wall and his body she let loose just enough for him to turn. Now, she had him where she wanted him. Moving in for the kill, she locked her lips to his and gave his a kiss to knock his socks off.
J’kar had just been about to force Tink to let him go when she re-tightened her hold on him pressing her soft mound onto his growing length and locking her lips to his. Her kiss promised all kinds of wonderful things as did the things she was imaging doing to his body. As he opened his mouth she took advantage of it and slipped her tongue deep inside coaxing his to move into hers. She grabbed hold of it as soon as he slipped it in, sucking on it. Pulling back she ran little kisses all along his jaw before nipping at his ear. When he would have said something she captured his lips again and began moving her body slowly back and forth. Running her hands in his short hair she released his lips again. Pulling his shirt away from his neck, Tink leaned over and ran little nips and licks along his throat. When she reached the section where his shoulder and neck met she bit down hard then eased the pain with more tiny licks and kisses.
J’kar forgot about everything but Tink. Her kisses and nips were driving him insane. When she bit down on his neck, he threw his head back and let out a roar of pleasure pressing his body even closer to hers. It was so intense he forgot he was standing in the corridor outside the bridge with an audience full of males.
Tink raised her head and looked up. Her eyes were glazed with passion. All she could think about was stripping J’kar down and taking him. Her eyes widened and cleared a little when she realized they were putting on a show for all the guys standing there gawking at them.
Burying her face in J’kar’s neck, she whisper softly against his skin. “I think we need to take this somewhere else. We have an audience.”
J’kar looked down at Tink’s pink face then up at the faces of his brothers, friends, and crew men. They all stared at him and Tink with a combination of lust and envy. He could tell the demonstration they witnessed had affected them greatly.
Glaring at Von J’kar spoke to Borj. “You have the bridge.”
Borj just gave J’kar a bemused smile and nodded. If what he saw was any indication he might not see them again until it was time to return to the planet. Borj's mind briefly flittered to the image of the tall, golden hair female in his pocket. He wondered if she would be as passionate as his brother's bond mate. He could feel his own body respond to the idea of her wrapped around him. Borj bit back a curse as he turned back to the bridge.
J’kar stepped into the lift without ever letting go of Tink. She was still holding on as tight as she could to him giving him little kisses all along his jaw line and running her hands through his hair. He fought back a groan at the feel of her body moving restlessly against his. It took every ounce of his self-control not to take her right there and then.
As soon as the door to his room shut J’kar set Tink down. Tink slid reluctantly down J’kar’s body. She was surprised when he didn’t follow her towards the bed but just stood watching her.
“Take your clothes off.” J’kar commanded. He clenched his fists. If she didn’t obey at once he would rip the clothes off of her.
Tink’s eyes grew wide then she smiled. Slowly, she slid first one, then the other sleeve of the shirt she wore off her shoulders. She let it dangle from her fingertips before letting it fall to the floor. Next, she ran her hands over her hair then down the front of her thin t-shirt before gripping the edge of it and pulling it up and over. Shaking her hair out she held out the t-shirt and let it fall to the floor next to the overshirt of J’kar’s she had been wearing. Standing in just her bra, jeans, and shoes, she leaned over and slowly untied first one lace on her shoes then the other making sure she gave J’kar plenty of cleavage to look at. Toeing her shoes off she stared into J’kar’s eyes as she undid the button and zipper on her jeans. Hooking the top with her fingers she let them slid down her hips to pool on the floor. Now, she was standing only in her bra and panties in front of him. Instead of feeling nervous she was edgy with excitement and desire.
J’kar could not believe he was able to control himself during the striptease Tink had put on so far. He could fe
el his cock swell to painful portions as she removed each item. When she leaned over to untie her shoes, he had unbuttoned his own pants to let the length of his cock hang free. The feel of the material against him was more than he could stand. Watching her, he could smell her own arousal as she removed more and more of her clothes. She did not understand what she had started in the corridor. He was not going to be able to control his primal urge this time. She had to understand he did not want to hurt her but she could not drive him to this point again. Realizing other men knew how human females made love was one thing. Seeing her in the arms of another male was too much.
Clenching his teeth he growled. “The rest. Remove them and get on the bed.”
His eyes glittered with dark silver flames as he watched the last two pieces of lacy material fall to the floor. When Tink turned to get on the bed it was too much. Moving rapidly, he grabbed her from behind and laid her on the bed pinning her beneath him. “You will not move. Do you understand?”
