She saw naked, wild passion trying to break free from behind the dam of his self-control. She wanted it, needed it to drown her.
"Stop," Tieran warned her.
He kissed her deeply and Audrey yelped when his hands tore the uniform off her with expert moves, uncaring of whether he tore the garment. He ripped his way to her body and Audrey saw the way his eyes went wide at the sight of her naked.
She climbed out of the rags, Tieran's fingers tracing the contours of her body. His cock was pressing against her belly, drops of precum already beading on the tip.
"You are gorgeous," he said, unable to tear his gaze from her. "At another time, I might be patient, but not now. Tell me right now if you want me to stop, because I won't be able to later."
Audrey considered that for only a second. Her eyes kept drifting down to his huge cock, wondering if her body could even take it. She had never wanted anything more than to know that. It was worth any pain, because she didn't think she could take it slow either.
Already, her body was practically shaking with lust and she hadn't stopped touching him once. It was like Tieran was a drug that she couldn't shake.
"Take me," she said, the tone of her voice making it both a plea and an agreement.
Perhaps more plea, because Audrey didn't know what she would do if Tieran suddenly decided to leave. She didn't remember her pussy ever being so wet, aching for him to plunge his cock into her.
Tieran didn't need to be told twice.
He half-carried, half-pushed Audrey back to lie on the bed and nudged her legs open. Her panties were no obstacle to him, discarded as roughly as the rest of her clothing.
Then he lay on his stomach and pressed his face up against her pussy. There was no hesitation in him, no questions. Audrey moaned, long and loud, loving the way he knew what she wanted without needing to ask.
His tongue on her slit was amazing, his fingers parting her pussy lips to let him dip his tongue in deeper. She couldn't stop grinding her hips against him, desperate for more contact, already panting.
Tieran switched between tongue-fucking her and sucking on her clit gently, pulling it between his lips moist with her wetness. She arched her back, unable to keep still as he pushed two fingers inside her, working her open for him.
She knew they were being hasty, that a cock that thick would have needed more preparation to enjoy properly, but Audrey needed it too much. And it wasn’t like time was something they had in abundance at the moment.
"Yes, Tieran," she moaned," don't stop–"
Tieran didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. With every second, his actions picked up pace like he couldn't get enough of her. She would have never expected such fervor from a man so stern, but she could see that she was bringing his walls down without even trying.
Audrey almost screamed when Tieran scissored his fingers deep inside her, rubbing them against a spot within her that sent surges of ecstasy to her very core.
She had never felt anything like that. She would have wanted to give some of it back, but she couldn't reach him. All she was left with was dragging her nails across his broad back, urging him on with words and noises and the ceaseless thrashing of her body.
"Fuck me," she pleaded. "Tieran, please, I need you..."
To be fair, Audrey didn't think her body was ready yet, but she most definitely was. The size of Tieran's cock scared her a bit, but only in the best way imaginable.
With a strange desire she hadn't expected of herself, Audrey wanted it like that. Words were pouring out of her mouth, unchecked since she'd stopped caring a long while ago.
"I want you in me," she moaned. "I need to feel that thick, hard cock deep inside me, I want to feel every inch of you."
The fiery gaze that answered her promised her that she would. Watching Tieran rise to his knees between her thighs, spreading her legs and presenting her pussy for him, was the single sexiest image Audrey had ever seen.
His movements were losing their smooth, practiced ease, becoming rash and ravenous. It was like she was breaking a creature she couldn't ever hope to leash, nor did she want to. "I've heard you scream in pain before," Tieran said, pulling her body towards him and lying down on top of her. "I never want to hear that sound again. But I will make you scream in pleasure until your voice is hoarse."
Audrey whimpered when his cock brushed against her opening, sliding the tip of it over her sensitive clit. She squeezed her eyes shut when he started pushing in, but Tieran growled, low and dark.
"Look at me," he said, his deep voice making the hairs on her skin stand up. "I want to see you. I want to see your eyes when you become mine."
His.
Audrey obeyed, her gaze locking with his as Tieran thrust inside her, filling her almost to the brink. A moan, hoarse and broken, escaped over her lips, but he knew what he was doing. Giving her a moment to adjust, he began to move again in earnest. His hands came to hold hers above her head like he had in the fighting pit.
Audrey was left helpless under his grip, only able to whimper and let him know of her pleasure. She was surrounded by him at all sides, captured underneath his weight.
Tieran's huge cock was piercing her open and she loved it. After the initial carefulness, the paladin begun to pound into her harder and harder, slamming her deeper into the mattress beneath them.
She could feel the damp sheets against her back, hear the bed creak under the forcefulness of their fucking. She bit at his lips when he kissed her, unable to channel the desire building in her.
She moved against him, meeting every brutal thrust. It hurt, by gods it hurt, but Audrey loved it. Spreading her legs wider, she invited him deeper inside her, wanted to feel him buried into her.
Tieran pulled back almost completely with each thrust, only to knock himself into her pussy to the brink in the next second. His chiseled chest was pressed against her breasts as he fondled them, letting go of her hands.
"Yes, oh god it feels so good—" Audrey moaned, turning her head to bite into the pillow when the intense pleasure threatened to overrun her mind.
Tieran felt like a storm racking her body. She was caught in the throes of his passion and it was the best thing she'd ever felt.
His merciless thrusts were making her body convulse, every nerve stimulated. She was barely in control anymore, her body responding to his with a mind of its own. All she could do was hold on and enjoy, running her hands over his muscles, feeling them play under his smooth skin as he took her to the brink faster than ever before.
Unable to stop herself, Audrey buried her face against his wide shoulders and tasted his skin like she'd wanted to before, watching him train in the pit.
She didn't think she could wait much longer. Tieran was hard and hot inside her, his thick cock sliding in and out of her wet pussy. Her body was accepting him eagerly, her walls closing hungrily down on his cock, pushing them both closer to their orgasms.
When he hit the spot within her, Audrey couldn't even scream. She simply gasped for air while Tieran repeated the motion, the feral hunger in his eyes consuming her.
He kissed her neck wildly, sucking on her skin while groping her ass, pulling her onto his cock with earth-shattering power. She screamed again, beyond caring whether anyone heard her. All she wanted, all she needed was Tieran and for him to never stop.
"You feel so good," she whispered, "you feel amazing, Tieran, I'm going to—"
He heard her, clearly, because in the next second Audrey was rising from the sheets through the air. The loss of his warmth around her was so sudden, but that was pushed to the back of her mind when Tieran lifted her into his arms and pulled her to sit on his lap.
Sliding down on his cock, impaled by its length, Audrey whimpered in pleasure.
He wrapped one arm around her and pushed another under her ass so he could move her with ease. A scream tore from Audrey's throat when he picked up a ruthless pace, lost to his passion as much as she was.
She kissed him, hard and pain
ful and demanding, but all the more divine for it. They moved together, Audrey clinging to him as her body was being ravaged in a way she had never experienced before. Her pussy was so wet for him, trembling around his cock, ready for her to cum, but Audrey didn't want it to end.
He licked her nipples, pulling at them with his lips, teasing them gently with his teeth. Audrey's strength was quickly leaving her and she was starting to think the paladin hadn't joked with the being unable to walk comment.
She was breathing heavily, whispering pleas into his ear and hearing him growl in response.
Tieran was grunting in pleasure, but there was no sign of him tiring. He was holding her whole body up himself but that didn't slow him down. On the contrary, it seemed to Audrey that the prospect of being as deep as he could inside her pussy was driving him on.
He pressed them closer as the both of them neared their peak, kissing her deeply while she was only able to moan.
She threw back her head when he started aiming his thrusts right at her core, sending shock waves of pleasure through her with such intensity Audrey felt like a doll on strings. The storm that Tieran was shook her while she had no other option but to endure and she loved every second of it. She bit her lip, her voice so hoarse it hurt to even whisper.
"I want to hear you," Tieran grunted, seeing that and Audrey felt herself burn in the flame of his passion. "Every whimper, every moan. I want that gorgeous voice of yours to break screaming my name."
She was losing her mind fast, slipping away from the reality and right into the realm of pure pleasure. She couldn't argue with him, even if she'd tried. His voice was like a command to her even if he was not ordering her. Audrey merely found it impossible to refuse.
She saw Tieran gritting his teeth, knowing – and feeling – he was holding back, wanting for her to reach her climax first. As her vision blurred and her limbs began to freeze, locking in tense expectation, she knew she wasn't far from it.
The orgasm approached with such force it made everything around her doubly vivid. She could smell and feel and hear the world twice as sharply as she usually did. The stretch of Tieran's cock, the hot pleasure building inside her, his ferocious grunts, every thrust that made her body shake down to her bones… Even the coolness of the bracelet on her wrist, the only thing she still wore, everything was heightened.
Her orgasm hit so suddenly Audrey almost blacked out.
She screamed his name, clamping down on him with her entire body. Her hands closed around his shoulders, letting him pound into her with reckless abandon as her pussy twitched in the throes of her release.
Tieran's breath hitched, Audrey could feel it so clearly like there were no other sounds in the world. He thrust inside her with maddening desire, making her feel like he was going to split her in two but feeling him cum too only made her own orgasm more powerful.
Audrey would definitely have simply slid off of his lap, but even seconds after his orgasm, Tieran still had the strength and presence of mind to keep her safely in his embrace.
Only when he released her gently after a long moment of coming down from their mutual high, did Audrey realize how hard they'd been holding on to each other. Her body ached where he had gripped her, but she wore those marks gladly.
It actually happened. He let loose…
Audrey smiled to herself. So the paladin commander was not all hardness – though there was plenty of that – and rigid control. Good to know.
Tieran lowered her to the bed and laid down next to her, looking at her with a different kind of gentleness. Like he couldn't believe she was really there.
Audrey figured her own gaze mirrored his because she was no longer sure she could give him up. It wasn't just the fact he'd given her the best orgasm of her life, it was so much more.
Before, Audrey had almost talked herself into it, thinking it would help them both deal with the major crises in their lives. Now, looking at Tieran smile to her with nothing short of love in his eyes, Audrey was rethinking that idea.
She had either just made the worst mistake of her life, starting a relationship that couldn't go anywhere due to Tieran being who he was…
Or, she thought, leaning in when Tieran bent down to kiss her softly. I have finally found something so good it's worth fighting for.

Tieran
The beeping of the comm link was an unwelcome reminder that they were still in the middle of a major conflict.
Tieran reached for the device, watching with regret as Audrey sat up next to him, her green eyes wide with anxious curiosity. After the events of the previous day, especially after the passion they'd shared, Tieran would have preferred to have a few moments at least alone with her, undisturbed.
He would have given anything to see Audrey happy and not worried for her life, but apparently the galaxy had other ideas.
"Report," he said, not letting his annoyance seep into his voice. "Have we caught up to the Jorcossi?"
"Commander," said the bridge. "I think you should come and see this. They have caught us."
The volume level of the comm device was loud enough for Audrey to hear that too. And like time and time before, she reacted to bad news as calmly as he did. Without a word, she got up and went to search for new clothes to replace the ones he'd ripped to pieces.
“I will be there in a moment.”
Tieran assured the bridge he would be there at once and got up too.
With her back to him, he had a quiet moment to simply look at Audrey. Her rooms on the Vehement were hardly the ones she was used to Verien, but they were neat and tidy like her.
The crew had provided her with spare uniforms and Audrey was fitting one of them for her, making sure she took her gun along as well. From the sound of it, there was no doubt there would be battle soon.
Beautiful, the thought rang through his mind again, even with imminent battle looming in the near future.
She was simply impossible to not focus on whenever the opportunity was provided for him.
Before she got to cover up again, Tieran had the chance to admire her beauty once more. Her long blonde hair fell over her bare back, drawing attention to the curves of her delicious body. He wanted nothing more than to go and rip the garments off her again, but she was showing more resolve than he was and that couldn't happen.
With a self-deprecating grin, Tieran thought he was shaming all paladins by letting a Terran female show greater interest in the fight. On the other hand, she was making it very hard for him to ignore her.
"Is it bad?" Audrey asked, while Tieran put on his clothes and they headed to his quarters to retrieve his armor.
"Possibly," he allowed. "My species doesn't exaggerate information. If the bridge thinks the matter requires my attention, I'd say it warrants hurrying."
She nodded. Tieran looked at her, more impressed by her every day.
In a way, it was her charming naivety that made her so alluring to him. Little signs and hints Audrey didn't think she was giving away were telling him everything. From her body language to her eyes to the way her voice changed ever so slightly, everything spoke of her true feelings.
She was afraid, but everyone in the galaxy would have been.
Right now, Audrey was doing everything not to let her natural and justified concern rule over her. There were many reasons for her to panic, but she was not. The little Terran was holding herself together by sheer will and that was something any Palian could respect.
Most of the people in galaxy, when they heard about one of those monsters, only thought of escaping. She thought of turning around and fighting it with everything she had.
A woman fit for a paladin.
After retrieving his armor, they headed for the bridge. Audrey seemed a bit hesitant to walk everywhere with him, as if she thought it compromised him in some way.
Tieran had considered that already. His paladins, Geroy for example, were like him, or at least like he had been before meeting her. He didn't deny that there
might have been a few odd looks, but having relations with females wasn't necessarily against the rule. The fact that she was Terran wasn't a problem either.
It would only be an issue if he put Audrey before the greater good.
He could only be compromised if he decided to let it happen.
The bridge was quiet and expectant when they got there. Audrey stayed a bit back, not to get in the way and Tieran marched right to his command chair.
"Commander," Geroy came to report. "We have arrived at scanner range. The Jorcossi ship isn't far, but it isn't alone."
Tieran nodded.
"We knew the Fearless had made contact and received the stone. It needed a vessel to reach them in space. There aren't any planets nearby where they could have landed."
"Yes, sir," Geroy agreed and Tieran could see him glimpse at Audrey.
Problem for another time, but it still made Tieran want to lash out, something he almost never did.
Geroy is a fine paladin, he reminded himself.
It was just that any threat to Audrey seemed personal all of a sudden, like it was his duty to protect her against everything.
"The problem is," Geroy went on. "The ship Fearless has taken."
Tieran observed him, seeing concern in the man's eyes. They both knew the truth of the matter.
The Vehement wasn't a warship, as such. Palians had warships, but they weren't manned by paladins, whose existence had to be covered in secrecy. Big ships drew too much attention and posed too much of a potential threat, so most of the paladin ships were smaller, meant for subterfuge, stealth and chases.
Their strength was speed, not firepower.
"Go on," Tieran said.
"It is a Brion scout ship," Geroy continued and Tieran felt the implications like a physical blow. “Closing in fast.”
While Palians were conservative with putting firepower on their ships, Brions were not. The Vehement wasn't defenseless by any standard, but Geroy's report was as close to a death sentence as they could get.
