“We have no idea. The discs only tell us their last location.”
“I hope you can save them. You will save them, right?” She looks up at me again, and this time her face is warmer, her eyes bright.
I nod. “That’s the intent.”
She nods. “Good. Leylah was right about your species.”
I don’t know how to respond, especially since my cock has become rock solid, because her lips look so soft and luscious, and I imagine them wrapped around my length. Her on her knees.
I look into her eyes again and it’s back—that connection from earlier, like a steel bond tugging us together.
Our lips touch, then I pull back. “I can’t.” My voice is harsher than I intended.
“Please.” Her voice slays me. “It would help me feel better.”
“I cannot take advantage.”
“If you remember correctly, I am the one who received the prior advantage. I’d like to return the favor.” Her voice is teasing, and then—by the one true star!—she does what was in my mind. She slowly gets to her knees. “My hands don’t even hurt, but maybe you can help me do this?” She taps at my belt.
I’ve spread my knees without realizing it, and she scoots in closer.
In a trance, I move my hands to my breeches and undo the buckle and slide them open. My cock juts out, hard and strong, pulsing with need.
“Tell me how you like this,” she murmurs, and then she lowers her head and puts those lips around me.
I groan in pure pleasure and toss my head back, eyes shut. “Veck, Taisha, no.”
But I make no move to stop her. In fact, my fingers find her hair, those gorgeous wild black curls, and wind through it. I tug and she murmurs her assent as if she likes it, so I do it again.
“You’re injured, I can’t…” I manage to say, before she licks me in a way that sends all words fleeing. “Veck, yeah, like that. Just like that.”
I give in to the pleasure. She’s not experienced at this, but she’s enthusiastic, and I guide her by tugging her hair, pushing her head down, then letting her back up.
Before long, I’m so hard it’s nearly painful, and the desire to strip her down and spank her and then veck her hard is irresistible. Coming in her mouth will be the next best thing, but I warn her, “Taisha, if you don’t stop that now, I’m going to come.”
She sucks harder and then flicks her tongue over the tip of my cock before taking me back into her mouth, and I let go. I cry out, a harsh, guttural sound and clench my fists in handfuls of her tight curls, my whole body stiffening as I explode into pleasure so great it sends my mind spiraling among the stars. Her little mouth is hot and her throat tight, and she swallows what I give her, over and over, until my rainbow-hued seed spills from her mouth onto her face.
When I’m exhausted, I lie back, then pop up. I grab her, and arrange her next to me, being careful of her bandages, and growl as I shut my eyes and hold her. She’s warm and smells like my sex and her own arousal. If she were mine, I’d spank her now for taking charge (even though I loved it) and tease her mercilessly until I was hard again, and then I’d let her come. Over and over again.
I grab her fluid tube, in case she needs it, but she’s wiped her face and is staring at her hands in disbelief. “It’s—rainbows!” She turns her wrists back and forth, and my cum sparkles in the lights. “I’ve never… is this, are all males?” She looks up at me. Smiles.
I can’t help but grin back. “Only Zandians.”
“I’ve never done that before.”
I grab a cloth and wipe her face. Then I touch her lips. “And thank you. For a first time, it was incredible.” I amend it. “For any time, it was incredible. I, ah…”
But already we’re approaching Zandian airspace, because the comm chimes. “Captain? We’re on approach.”
I hit my button. “Affirmative. I’ll be there in one moment.”
I stand, fixing my breeches and adjusting my clothing. “A crew member will come in and secure you for landing. Please arrange yourself.” I wave a hand at her disheveled curls, my cum on her skin. “Once we land, you will be taken to the med bay for healing.”
“And then I need to do something.” She raises her cuffs. “I need to speak to the human, Lamira, as soon as possible.”
I step backward, dumbfounded. This is entirely unexpected. Hearing this name on her lips is like a battle blow. “Who?” My voice is cold.
She pales at my tone. Draws herself up. “Lamira. I must see her immediately. It’s important.”
