Adiron (Corsair Brothers 1)

"I wasn't looking," I admit. "I mean, I peeked a little, but I tried not to pay attention. It didn't seem right."

"Well I keffing stared hard at those magnificent breasts of yours," he tells me boldly. "You're welcome to stare down my cock. I can pull it out right now if you want a good look."

Even though I've vowed to be bold, his blatant statement makes me pause. In the length of time that I do, he gives me another mischievous smile. "Too much too soon?" He leans in and kisses my jaw again, then moves back down to my neck. "It's fine, I'm good with a bit of a chase. Might prefer it, actually."

"It's not that I don't want this," I stammer, feeling flustered.

"Don't apologize," he says, kissing my collarbone in a way that makes me feel utterly weak with need. "Not your fault I have all the finesse of a stampeding vuulax."

I don't know what that is, but anything stampeding…yeah, that sounds like Adiron. "I swear I'm not trying to be a party pooper. I want you." I rake my hands down over his hard, incredible arms. "God, how I want you."

He chuckles. "It isn't a contest. We can both want each other equal amounts." He kisses lower, his tongue skating between the cleft of my breasts. "Ah, kef me, you're so soft here."

I whimper, clinging to his head. My hands go to his horns—horns, of all things—and I clutch at them, leaving fingerprints all over the metal as he nuzzles at my cleavage.

"You tell me how far you want to go tonight, Jade. If you just want a kiss, I'll end right here. If you want to sit on my nose and grind until you come, I'll get on the floor right now." He tugs at the hem of my top. "And if you want everything, I just need to ask—your bed or mine?"

Oh god. Are we talking about beds already? It feels like too much, but he also feels so good that I don't want to stop. "You pick."

Adiron pulls back and flashes me a handsome, cocky grin, and then scoops me into his arms. "I have a better idea, actually."

"Oh hell," I mutter, my arms going around his neck, and I love his bark of laughter. With a smile, I bury my face against him. Even if I'm a bit of a stick in the mud compared to him, I can make him laugh. That counts for something, I hope.

Adiron moves to the shower and turns the water off with the tap of a button, giving me a knowing grin. "Can't have my sexy female worrying about the water while I've got my face buried in her cunt."

I whimper at that. Adiron is utterly forthright about what he wants, that's for damn sure. "T-thank you?"

He casts a hungry look down at me, his lips curving into a faint, naughty smile that's pure Adiron. "Oh, Jade, you are so keffing welcome. Now come on. I know just the place to make you squeal."

"I don't squeal," I say primly as he carries me out of the lavatory.

"Not yet," he agrees. "But give me a few minutes."

"My, you're confident." I like his confidence, though. I like everything about him, really. Even if he's an alien. It's a little strange to me that I was kidnapped and abused by aliens, but in the arms of this one, all that stuff seems very far away. Adiron's funny and sweet and kind and just a little crazy, and I love that combination.

He's going to make the next month so damn fun. My toes curl just thinking about it.

To my surprise, he heads down the hall toward the bridge. "Are we checking for messages again?" I ask, confused.

"Nope." Adiron grins down at me. "Do you want to know my plan, or do you want to be surprised?"

I squirm a little. I don't think I'm that much of a rebel just yet. "Go ahead and tell me. I'm not a big fan of surprises."

"Well," he says as the doors open and he enters the bridge. "I'm going to sit in the captain's chair, and I'm going to lay you down on the control panel in front of me. I'm going to hike those skirts up, and I'm going to lick that pussy into the next galaxy. Because you deserve something far more exciting than just a simple bed. I figure what's more exciting than the captain's chair?"

Oh dear, sweet lord. What indeed.

He carries me over to the captain's chair, just like he promised, and there's a hungry look in his eyes. "You tell me at any time if you want me to stop," Adiron says. "I know I'm about as subtle as a supernova, but if I do something you don't like, you gotta tell me."
