Unexpected Hero, page 7
“Oops. I know that there are undergarments available here.”
He nodded. “There are.”
“So, why aren’t I wearing any?”
“Because you are my contracted consort.” He slid his hand down her backside. “You are at my disposal at all times. It was in the contract.”
She blushed. “I remember.”
He kissed her shoulder. “Shall we head down to dinner?”
“Sure.” They were in the hall when she asked, “Is the surveillance in the bedroom on when you are here?”
He chuckled. “It is, but I am the only one who gets the recordings of it.”
“Ah. And you saw me goofing around in the yard?”
“I did. We were nearly back by then, just passing the moons.”
His warm hand pressed against her back as they descended the steps and entered the dining room.
Soith and Aldrun looked tired compared to Mekked’s glowing alertness. They looked at him and then her in surprise. “Well, damn. That explains the rush.” Soith smiled.
She blushed and went to take the empty seat, but he pulled her onto his lap.
The thin fabric put her smack on his erection without a solid barrier, and her face got hotter.
Aldrun snorted and shook his head. “A five-day mission in two and a half days. It’s a new record, all because the overseer finally found a consort. I think we should leave him behind next time.”
Mekked chuckled as he started to run his hands over her arms, ostensibly to warm her, but he was stroking his new pet, and she had no illusions as to his motivation.
Soith was practical as Kekkari put the food in front of them. “What kind of power bump have you gotten?”
“A solid five percent, and we aren’t even linked yet. I think once we have completed our connection, a seventy-five percent increase is not out of the question.”
The men looked at her, and she looked at the dinner. She reached out for her utensil, and Mekked’s hand beat her to it. He started to feed her, and she worried about her dress—or what there was of it—the whole time.
Soith smiled. “So, you two look like you are heading out. Where are you going?”
Mekked paused in the consumption of his portion of dinner. “To the plaza. We are going to walk around and see the fountains.”
Aldrun blinked. “Just walk around?”
“Yes. That is what couples do.”
Soith grinned. “Yeah, but no one has ever seen you do it before. You are going to be swarmed with fans.”
Misty asked, “Is it going to be a problem?”
Mekked murmured, “There will be no problem. Just stay close.”
She looked at his thighs and then his face. “Closer than this?”
He chuckled. “We have not gotten nearly close enough for my liking.”
Soith laughed as Aldrun snorted.
Kekkari came in with two desserts, and he grinned. “Since you two are heading out, you don’t get dessert. You will have to find it at the plaza.”
Mekked sighed. “Then, I suppose that we should be on our way.”
Misty squawked. “Please, tell me we aren’t going to fly in this.”
He stood her up and rose to his feet. “Even I wouldn’t be so cruel. We are taking a pod.”
She blinked. “Oh. Right.”
Mekked nodded to his team. “Get some rest. You look like hell.”
“We don’t have a battery with curves at our disposal, though now that we see what she can do, we might start looking for our own.”
Aldrun said, “There are two here on Vecchin.”
Misty paused and turned to them, speaking and using manual. “My sister is of age, but if you bring her here, expect me to be dead in a matter of hours. She hates me, and half of the memories that Remak burned out were of her and my mother torturing me. So, please. Don’t.”
She was tense and trembling. Mekked wrapped his arm around her, and the other two defenders looked concerned.
He said, “The Lacallan colony has a few thousand Terrans. Have the eligible females tested and see what pops up.”
Soith grinned. “Will you pay for testing?”
Mekked chuckled. “Sure.”
Aldrun was halfway through his dessert. “Excellent. Do they come in different colours?”
Mekked hugged her. “I didn’t notice any colours other than shining pink when she came, but I suppose they are all different.”
Misty was distracted, and she clamped a hand over her mouth when she realized what he was describing. “Ohmygod.”
He turned her in his arms and leaned in to kiss her. It got hot fast. She was whimpering and pressing against him, pulling at him, and she heard muttering in the background.
When he lifted his head, she pressed her forehead to his chest, and Aldrun asked, “What in the hells was that, and where do I get one?”
Mekked chuckled. “It’s a Terran thing. See you later.”
He kept his arm around her and walked her out of the dining room. Her lips tingled and throbbed, and her thighs slid together. He was bad for her dignity, but he didn’t care, and there were none of her people to judge her.
They walked to the small flight deck off one wing of the house, and he tucked her carefully into the pod before he got into the pilot’s seat, closed the crystal bubble, and they were up and off.
She folded her hands. “You have left them with the idea that I have an erogenous zone in my mouth.”
He chuckled. “Prove you don’t. I am enjoying it very much.”
He piloted them over the glittering city with sweeping spires and elegant bridges. It was a city for walking.
He settled the pod on a landing area with the same tattoo like the one on his chest. He lifted the crystal canopy, got out, and came around to her side. He held his hand out to her and smiled when she slipped her palm along his. She was out and in his arms, and they were flying slowly above the city to the plaza with the fountains.
He landed them carefully and took her hand to kiss it before he smiled, and they walked toward the fountains that all shared water through arcing jets that climbed higher and higher in the statues until they jetted skyward in a fine mist. The plaza was two kilometres long, and every ten metres was a new statue and fountain. It was spectacular.
Misty was excited, and as they started the walk, folks stopped and stared at Mekked. She ignored the crowd, and when she felt insecure, she felt his warm hand on her lower back. It let her know where he was.
The splashing of the water and rhythmic pulses moving from fountain to fountain was a pleasant sound, and she found herself swaying to the beat.
He murmured, “You are dancing again.”
She paused.
“Don’t stop. You are happy when you dance.”
She chuckled and resumed swaying and turning. He stayed with her every step.
They walked for over an hour, and at the midway of the fountains, he wrapped her in his arms and murmured, “Let’s find dessert.”
She looked up at him and grinned. “This had better be good and not something Kekkari would make.”
“I am going to tell him you said that.”
Misty thought about what she had said, and she gasped. “Do not tell him I said that.”
Mekked grinned. “What will you give me to keep quiet?”
She was pinned to his chest. “What do you want? My resources are limited.”
His hand on her back moved down to her butt, and he lifted her with his grip. “I want you. I want you with me and under me for hours and days.”
“That is pretty steep for an accidental insult.”
“Wrap your legs around me and kiss me. Would that be fair?”
She looked around at the audience they had. “Here? Now?”
“Yes.”
She looked at him and scissored her legs around him, draped her arms around his neck, and brushed her lips against his. “I still need to learn how to swim. Can you find me a tutor for that?”
“I will teach you. Tomorrow.”
She kissed him, and there were sounds of astonishment as their mouths met and mated. He bent so she was hanging from him and slid his fingers under her skirt. The public display of intimacy was commented on, and when one of his digits slipped inside her, she inhaled sharply and stifled a moan.
“Oh, no, I want to hear it,” he whispered as his middle finger flexed inside her and his thumb rocked around her clit.
“They will hear it too...”
“Tough. It is mine. I earned it.” He kissed her, his fingers slid, rocked, and worked her, and she bucked and shuddered in his grip.
He lifted his head, and his eyes glowed. He smiled and slowly pulled his hand free with a wet smacking sound. To her horror, he brought his hand to his mouth and licked and sucked her juices off. He grinned at her. “I have had my dessert; though, I would have preferred to get it from the source. Now we need to find something for you.”
She was blushing as he set her down on her feet. “I’m fine.”
“No. Kekkari would never forgive me if I didn’t get you something sweet.”
He put his arm around her waist and walked her toward the food vendors. Kiosks of sweet and savoury lined up together, and all trying to get Mekked’s attention. Calls of Honourable Defender rang in the air as they walked slowly down the path until he felt her tense slightly. “That one?”
She had seen it before but never up close. It looked like marshmallows, berries, and cotton candy on a stick. “Yes, please.”
Mekked stood with her at the vendor, and the startled man quickly pulled one of the confections together. Misty looked at it with mounting anticipation, and the man looked up and grinned.
Misty understood immediately. “Mekked, how long have I been broadcasting?”
“Since you started dancing.”
She sighed and looked at him. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“You were having fun; they were having fun. The couples on the plaza have all scampered off because what I didn’t consume reached them.”
She blushed, and he took the confection from the vendor and then tried to pay. The man wrapped the terminal in his own hands. “It’s on me, Defender Mekked.”
“I don’t accept gifts.”
“May your lady?” The grinning vendor gestured to her.
“Why?” He looked down, and Misty had consumed half the treat while he argued. It had seemed like a good time to go taste testing.
She wiped the corners of her mouth. “What? It was getting cold or warm or something.”
Mekked snorted. “Fine. My lady may accept something, but just this once and just because it is already gone.”
Misty shrugged. “Sorry. I worked up an appetite, and I am used to eating from your hand.”
The vendor cracked up and snickered.
Mekked looked at her and tossed the spike into a nearby recycling unit without even looking. He caressed her cheek. “You have quite the appetite, Misty.”
She licked her lips, and he leaned in to swipe the sugary stuff from her with his tongue. Her lips were tingling, and she clung to him before he finished. “So do you.”
He grinned, wrapped an arm around her, and said, “On that note, my appetites are wide awake now.”
She didn’t have a chance to reply when he launched them skyward and back to the pod. She kept her thighs tight together until he tucked her into the pod. At that point, keeping them together became impossible with his hand in the way. It turned out that the pod could fly by voice command.
His determined hands brought her to climax twice before the pod landed at his home.
He carried her inside and up to his bedroom.
He pulled off his clothing, tearing some of the pieces. He pulled his boots off and then looked at her. “You are overdressed.” He placed his fists near her collarbone, and the dress sheared in two with a wet tearing sound.
He dropped it to the ground and sighed. “There you are.”
She smiled. “I still have the boots on.”
He grinned. “I like them.”
“Of course you do. They match yours.”
He sighed. “Yes. So, are you coming to me freely and willingly?”
She stepped toward him, slid one hand up his chest and the other around the erection ringed by a set of marks that matched the one on his chest. His cock was conical and would enter her easily. After he was in, it was anyone’s guess how far he would make it because the base was huge. The ten inches in between were what had her worried.
“I come to you willingly, but I am under contract, so free is flexible.”
He grinned, and his teeth flashed. “Close enough.”
She felt nervous anticipation when he stroked her arms, but when he leaned in to kiss her, she went up on her toes to meet him.
He was really good at kissing. His tongue teased and flicked, and she moaned. His hands balanced on her waist gently, and he eased her to the edge of the bed platform.
She stepped over the slippery silk, and he knelt at her feet. She was confused until he raised her left leg and draped it over his shoulder. His hands lifted her up, and she yelped as her sex came down squarely on his mouth. “You are going to suffocate.”
He lifted her for a moment. “I can hold my breath for a very long time.”
He settled her on his mouth again, and she curled over him, clutching his shoulders as his tongue slipped and slid inside her. His hands held her securely, but she still dug her nails into his shoulders and the back of his hair as he took her to the edge of release and left her there. She whined as he lifted her off him, and his black eyes gleamed. His mouth was shining from the contact, and he set her on the platform before dragging her to the centre of the space and settling her on her belly.
“I don’t want to rush this, but the process needs to start, so I will, but let me know if it is too uncomfortable for you.”
She made a curious sound and tried to push herself to sit, but he pressed on her back and flattened her to the platform.
Misty felt him nuzzling at her neck, and then, his teeth bit into her skin, and she gasped as four and then eight needle-sharp teeth buried themselves in her skin.
His fingers slid into her and thrust deep without warning. Heat spiralled from the bite, and her world exploded in a parade of stars that didn’t stop.
Chapter Eight
Misty just had to react. There was no action called for that Mekked wasn’t already doing. His fingers found spots inside her that she didn’t know she had, and once she started cumming, it just kept going.
The moment his fingers left and his erection started to make itself at home inside her, she braced her hands flat on the platform to stop the friction from driving her toward the headboard.
Once inside her, he wrapped his arms under her and gripped her shoulders, stopping her sliding progress. He surged forward and inched into her as she whined and gasped. Full wasn’t a word that described how she felt, and when he finally stopped moving into her, it was because he was fully pressed against her thighs. Pain, pressure, and pleasure overwhelmed her.
She was gasping for air and gripping the thin layer of fabric under her. She didn’t want to move because she wasn’t sure what would happen.
He released her, nuzzled and licked at the bite. “That’s pretty.”
She swallowed. “What comes next?”
He chuckled. “I do, and then you do. And after that, anytime you do, I can consume it completely.”
She shuddered. “Oh. Good.”
“Don’t worry, sweet. I won’t take more than you can give, but we need to find your limits.”
“Today?”
“There isn’t an alert or distress call. I would like to proceed as far as I can.” His chest was sliding over her back.
“Are you slippery?”
He chuckled. “My mother’s heritage. That’s how I got into you to start with. You were hellishly tight.”
She took offense. “You are too big.”
He chuckled. “You have taken more of me than any other partner. Now, I just need you to ripple around me again, and the link will be complete.”
He moved a hand under her hips, and he started to stroke, rub, and swirl her clit. She started to shake, and he chuckled when her hips tried to move with him impaling her. Misty clenched around him, and he groaned, and then, waves of silky heat spread from him.
Misty expected a few spurts, and then it would subside, but he just kept coming. It made her feel super tight, and then, suddenly, everything relaxed. While the heat continued to spill, her body was doing something with it.
Mekked pressed into her and flexed inside her, and it still continued. When he finally shuddered to a halt, his hand under her moved up to massage her belly. “How are you feeling?”
She blinked. “Still seeing stars.”
He chuckled. “Good, it means the nanites are active. They will start working on you to link your body, energies, frequencies, and life span to mine. As I am not fully Hmrain, I will not live indefinitely, but for all of my days, you are with me.”
“That wasn’t mentioned.”
“It was in the fine print.” He nuzzled at her neck and ear.
“I should have gotten legal representation.”
“Aldrun was a barrister. He could have helped.” His palm tightened on her belly, and she gasped. “Too late though. You are mine now. My very own companion.”
She shuddered and moaned. “Where is it all going?”
“Well, some of it is looking to see if you have an egg available; the nanites are working on your ovaries and the rest of you. If you are cycling and they can get one ready, some of the seed will find it and hopefully start something.”
She wasn’t able to think of that. She was pinned under a superhero and had no idea what happened next. He licked at the bite again and sighed. “So pretty.”
He rose up off her and tilted her to one side, draping and supporting her leg over his arm while he turned her head and kissed her. His body was over hers at a right angle, and it blocked out the light.
