Dropping her down onto a rather luxurious settee, he sat beside her. She pounced on him. “It must be because of all your sweet pillow talk.”
“You tease quite a bit. At first I thought you were making fun of me. Now, I think you use playful banter to break down by defenses and get close to me.”
Pulling back slightly, she looked up at him. “You make it sound like we’re at war.”
“I’m merely pointing out that it does not feel as though you are disrespecting me.”
Turning serious for a moment, she spoke earnestly. “I’d never do anything to hurt your feelings or make you feel bad. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m crazy about you.”
He swallowed hard before replying with some shocking honesty of his own. “I think I am in love with you. It has been so long since any of our people had relationships with females, the language of love no longer comes easily to our lips.” Bringing her hands to his lips, he whispered. “I believe it is love because the thought of you leaving me alone devastates my very soul.”
“Well, you haven’t lost your touch. That was beautiful.”
His expression turned heated as he moved closer. “You accept me?”
“You’ve spent weeks ignoring me, avoiding me, and trying to convince me that you’re not the right man for me. Yet here I am, crawling over every square inch of you. You couldn’t get rid of me if you tried.”
“I cannot imagine why someone so beautiful and intelligent would tolerate my insecurities.”
“Because I have them as well. Don’t you think I worried that you might bump into a woman you just couldn’t live without today? I was almost too anxious to leave your side.”
He looked momentarily stunned. “I never once suspected you felt that way about me.”
Smoothing the side of his face, she settled in beside him. “Imagine how secure we both would feel if we just made it official.”
His voice took on an air of formality. “I wish you to be mine exclusively and for all times. I promise to always love and protect you and you will want for nothing as long as I live. Will you agree to be mine?”
“We can agree to be each other’s. I promise to love you and that I’ll always have your back, no matter what.”
“I would be fortunate to have you at my side.”
Smiling at him, Madison wagged her eyebrows. “So, how about we celebrate?”
Looking a little deflated, he responded slowly. “I would prefer that we stay in my suite and explore each other’s bodies.”
Rolling her eyes, she responded warmly. “That’s just the kind of celebration I had in mind. I can’t wait to get you out of that uniform.”
“I thought you liked our uniforms.”
“Oh, I do. I especially like the medical ones.”
“They’re comfortable, designed for durability, and protect us from biohazards.”
“Well, big guy, they’re also form fitting and they don’t leave much to the imagination.”
“You like that they are form suits?” His voice sounded amused.
“Yep, they show off every sexy bump and bulge. You have an especially nice one when you’re alone with me.” Madison cupped her hand daringly over the tantalizing large bulge in his pants.
“It is because you are aroused.”
She looked for the magnetic seal on his uniform top. “I’m not sure exactly what that means.”
He finally moved her hand to the side and her fingers found the seam that she’d been searching for. He spoke again as she pulled his top open and he shrugged out of it.
“It is not possible for a Shardon male to become aroused without the pheromones of a willing female being present.”
“Umm, I’m surprised you aren’t sporting a boner around me all the time.” Madison allowed her hands to wander over the acres and acres of blue skin. Lots of the clones were overly bulky, but Lar was more streamlined. To her mind, he had a swimmer’s physique. All comparisons aside, the man was simply gorgeous.
His dark eyes never left her hands as he replied breathlessly. “I must admit to struggling at times, for the sake of decorum.”
Madison laughed, realizing he was still talking about his boner. “You’re a prim and proper little boy scout, aren’t you?”
“I am a male in my prime breeding phase, eager to experience a female’s body for the first time. Is that what your words imply?”
Shocked, she glanced up at him. His expression was intense and the thick layer of lust clearly evident on his face ate away at her intention to keep things light and playful. Swallowing hard, she whispered.
“Tell me what you want to do.”
Looking up into her eyes, he spoke softly as if betraying his innermost desires. “I wish to remove your clothing and explore your body with my hands and my mouth. Will you permit this?”
Nodding, her mouth went dry. She tried to speak but the words wouldn’t come. Lar finally accepting her shook her to the core.
He moved slowly, touching her on the cheek. “My personal suite is attached to this office. I have a comfortable sleeping platform. I wish you to be comfortable. May I take you there?”
Barely waiting for answer, he picked her up gently from the settee and walked through another door. Ignoring the rest of the spacious room, she noted a huge round raised area with blankets. It seemed to be a bed, a luxurious one at that. He laid her carefully upon it, sat on the edge, and quickly removed his boots and pants. When he turned, she noticed something a little different. His male parts seemed reversed, with the balls on top. Only it was more like one small bulge with vertical ridges about the size of her cupped hand. Quickly scooting to the edge of the bed she reached out for him.
Smoothing her hands over the bulge, she discovered it was firm but pliable.
“Our testes are located on top and more durable than that of a human male. Our females had a curved exterior shielding their sex. When our testes impacted with the area, it was extremely pleasurable. I do not think it will harm a human but I doubt you will get the secondary pleasure such contact provides.”
Madison immediately thought of that texture colliding with her clit with each thrust of his well-endowed manhood. She had a good idea that it would be fantastic. Playing it cool, she purred noncommittally. “We won’t know until we get there.”
He kneeled on the floor in front of her, his expression heated. He looked gorgeous. One hand came out to cup the back of her head and he pulled her forward, meeting her halfway. Stopping for the briefest of seconds, he seemed to inhale her scent. God help her, it was turning her on.
When he ghosted his lips across hers, everything faded away except the two of them. She melted into his arms, losing track of time as a wave of passion swept them away. Tangling her hands in his hair, she climbed into his lap. When Madison pulled back to catch her breath, she noticed that somehow, she was practically naked. The front of her shirt was open and her bottoms were pulled down to her ankles.
“How in the world did you do that?”
“No complaining, my new love. You already gave me permission to strip you bare.”
Pulling the clothing the rest of the way off, she looked at the handsome alien with new eyes. “I’m not complaining. I just didn’t realize you were undressing me.”
Smiling smugly as his eyes roamed over her exposed body, he responded hotly. “It’s because you were distracted by the kiss.” Reaching for her, he mumbled. “Now I get to touch.”
Certain she could give him cause to pause, she scooted back onto the bed. He crawled eagerly after her. When she stopped, so did he. Leaning back on both hands, she allowed her knees to fall open exposing herself to him. His eyes strayed exactly where she wanted them to go.
“Miss Madison, you are a truly beautiful woman.”
She couldn’t help but preen a bit because she knew he was catching her at her best. She’d been grooming for this occasion for weeks now. “Didn’t you say something about touching?”
The blue alien moved forwar
d and nuzzled his face along her thigh as his hands skimmed over her body. He was quick about learning all her secrets. Anyplace his hands provoked a response, he lingered there, sending her body soaring with need. He stoked and kneaded her tender flesh as his face moved closer.
Panting, she realized she murmured words of encouragement.
“My lips need to be right there.” His words were breathless and rough as he wiggled one finger against her clit.
“Yes, please.” Madison whispered her agreement as her eyes closed and her body quaked. She was so near coming apart in his hands. She wouldn’t last long with his mouth on her. Moaning, she felt him make contact with his tongue. The man was aroused and eager for the experience. That made it easy to relax into the moment. Sexy little guy noises emanated from his throat as he pleasured her. Within moments, he tongued her to oblivion. Taking his time, he figured out what she liked then did it continuously until her entire body convulsed in an orgasm so strong she almost blacked out.
Crawling up her body, Lar looked pleased with himself. He had every right to be; he was damned good at figuring out a woman’s body. Wrapping her legs around his waist, she was all too eager for the grand finale.
He landed on top of her, bracing most of his weight on his arms on either side of her. “Are you certain you don’t want to rest? Having an orgasm seems tiring for a human female.”
“I want your big cock right now, not later.”
“Earth females are very forward. I like that.”
“Not all of us are so straightforward. I can’t imagine my sister saying anything like that. She’d be way too embarrassed.”
“Surprisingly, talking about your pretty sister decreases my sex drive. I find that I do not wish to discuss other females. Can we go back to talking about us?”
Laughing, Madison shook her head. “You definitely know what women want to hear.”
Positioning himself for the first thrust, he asked diplomatically. “Is this the correct position?”
“Yep, bring it on, big guy. I’m ready for you.”
He didn’t waste a moment complying. As he shoved his way inside, she forced herself to relax. She knew when he was fully seated because his strange alien junk collided with her clit which was still sensitive from the orgasm, making her gasp. It felt fantastic.
As he pulled back out and surged forward again, he murmured against her neck. “You are likely going to wish you had accepted my offer of rest.”
“Faster, my sweet. Why do you say that?”
“Perhaps I neglected to mention that Shardon males are extremely greedy. Our history is wrought with stories of us bedding our partners for hours.”
As he worked himself into her harder and faster, she thought about his words. Clamping her teeth over her bottom lip, she hoped his report was more than just male bragging. She could stand a nice long session of lovin’ at this man’s hands.
Lifting her bottom with one hand, he adjusted her body for maximum penetration. Each time he speared her, she could feel every square inch of him. He enjoyed watching her facial expressions. She could tell because his dark eyes never left her as he pleasured her with stroke after thrilling stroke. Knowing that no other woman had ever ridden to orgasm on his gorgeous rod, really flipped her switch.
CHAPTER 9
~Shar Jalon~
Grabbing a quick shower and a clean uniform, Shar Jalon headed to the dining hall, hoping to get lost in the crowd. They were a month into their voyage and his day had been long and stressful. He was very much looking forward to it ending. The human soldiers proved to be no end of trouble for the alliance. Though their new captain tried to manage them as best he could, the more experienced members of his team seemed incorrigible at times.
Today, he’d been in a planning session with Korban and Koal, reviewing maps of the Sylon home world. After careful review of the available data including aerial images, he’d chosen a continent. It was the perfect choice for his people. The huge unoccupied landmass had a temperate climate for growing. The continent was of no strategic importance but rich in mineral deposits, many accessible from the surface. They’d just begun to discuss the necessity of sharing medical and military technology when their meeting had been disrupted.
Today, they were upset because their clone counterparts had been swapped out. Humans were a strange breed. One moment, they complained because the clones were so similar in appearance they couldn’t tell one from another. The very next moment, they were annoyed because the clones were traded out for fresh soldiers.
Tasked with speaking for his team, the new captain was adamant that they didn’t wish to share their allotted space with any of the three alien species making up the alliance. Korban thought they were just letting primitive superstitions about outsiders magnify their fears of being aboard an alien vessel. Shar Jalon considered that improbable. It was likely that they just wanted privacy to plot and plan mischief. Koal believed it was a coordinated effort to test their resolve, much as the Earth Gov ambassadors had done. He insisted that holding the line was the only reasonable course of action. Shar Jalon thought Koal’s insight had merit. In any event, the human soldiers were not given quarter by the alliance. To do so would be a sign of weakness.
Shar Jalon resented the soldiers interrupting the planning for millions over their petty egotistical needs. He needed to find his inner calm again. Never had he been so off kilter before.
Rather than some much-needed reprieve from talking, he found himself joined by Lar and his human female, the outspoken Miss Madison. Maybe they would just ignore him and eat their food.
As soon as her pretty little ass hit the seat, the female spoke. “You look like somebody just kicked your puppy.”
Frustration finally got the better of him. “Gods of chaos. Must humans have an obscure descriptor for every situation? It’s needlessly tedious.”
“All right, that’s very unlike you. Spill the beans. Something’s eating at you and I want to know what.”
“Nothing. I wish to be left alone.”
“It’s not healthy to keep all that anger stuffed inside. You should talk about it. I’m a really good listener and I really want to help.”
Cramming some food in his mouth, he grumbled. “Why must human females be so damned insightful?”
Lar spoke up. “Is it because you did not yet find a female, sir? Sometimes it is difficult to tell right away if a female is your one. Perhaps prolonged exposure will allow…”
Sick of his longtime friend’s casual discussion of one of the most personal aspects of his life, Shar Jalon interrupted him. “Perhaps I have not enough emotions to draw a female to me.”
Kaylee shook her head. “You’ve got plenty of emotions. For example, right now, you’re frustrated and angry. That’s proof that you have emotions.”
Throwing down his eating pinchers, Shar Jalon huffed out an exasperated breath. “Forgive me, Miss Madison. I did not mean to be rude.” Standing, he apologized. “I find that I am not fit company for a female tonight.”
Stalking toward his office, he realized that he’d just made a complete fool of himself by showing his emotions in public. The human female had been correct about him having emotions; they just were not the kind that drew female admiration. He could easily imagine every single clone on his ship finding a mate while their illustrious leader sat alone in his quarters every night, merely dreaming of such. That would truly be a humiliating way to live out the remainder of his years.
A feminine voice rang out in the distance. “Shar Jalon, wait. I have an idea.”
Stopping in his tracks, he realized he was in an isolated area of the ship. Alone with another male’s female did not sit right with him. Then he remembered that humans did not care about such things.
She ran up to him, out of breath but smiling.
Sighing, he couldn’t help but to return her smile. She was tiny and perfect. His friend had done well in luring her to him. If she saw him as being worthy of a friendship, he would g
ratefully accept it.
“It just occurred to me that you barely met most of the women. Remember, we sent most of them to the other two ships. If you want, I can start temporarily swapping them out…”
Stopping mid-sentence, her head swiveled around to look at two human males. The large soldiers stood in front of them with weapons in their hands.
Unfazed by their aggressive stares, he waved them aside.
“I do not accept petitions directly from Earth Gov emissaries. You must speak with Ambassador Ular.”
“We ain’t in the mood to talk. You shot Sergeant Stevens.”
“Somehow, I don’t think you are here to congratulate me on simply stunning him, when the consensus was to kill him.”
“Hell no, we’re definitely not here to congratulate you. Hot damn, you aren’t real smart, are you?”
Madison spoke up, like Shar Jalon knew she would. “You are in a restricted part of the ship. Go back to your section.”
“Well, if it ain’t the mouthy whore who got the sergeant shot. Fancy meetin’ you here.”
“You don’t scare me. You accuse our prince of not being very smart, but I think you two must not have enough functioning brain cells to find your own plate at the table.”
One of the men took a menacing step forward. “I’m gonna consider hurting you a bonus.”
Stepping in front of Madison, Shar Jalon spoke with authority. “I can’t imagine what you hope to gain by confronting us like this. Evoking my displeasure could cut your voyage seriously short, as could threatening our females. I’m inclined to agree with Miss Madison regarding your intellectual prowess.”
“We already heard how the alliance plans to just kill off every single person who disagrees with you. That ain’t gonna happen.”
“Whatever it is you want, can you just say it plainly. It has been a long day and I have little in the way of patience left.”
“Finding the little whore’s body, will teach every scruff on this ship their place, but what we’re really after is you. We figure that if we vent you, the others aboard this ship will take us seriously.”
