Taming Two Warriors (Kindred Tales)

“Okay.” Melli shrugged and selected a chocolate one instead. But even as she took a bite of the luscious dark chocolate, her eyes lingered on the peach bonding fruit cupcake as an idea formed in her mind…

Fifty-Three

“Are you ready to go back down to Earth tomorrow?” Liosh asked, as they were getting ready for bed. They had been sleeping together—well, cuddled up with each other anyway—for the entire week they’d spent aboard the Mother Ship. It was just that cuddling was as far as it went, Melli thought sadly.

Well, maybe that would change tonight.

“I think so,” she called from the bathroom—what the Kindred called the fresher—where she was just finishing brushing her teeth. “Why do you ask?”

“I just wanted to make sure you felt ready,” Liosh told her.

“I’m ready,” Melli told him. “I’ve missed enough classes—I need to get back.”

She could see through the crack in the partially open door that he was wearing a long pair of satiny dark blue sleep trousers and nothing else. His broad, bare chest was mouth-watering in its muscular smoothness, she thought longingly. She seriously wouldn’t mind licking him all over like a great big ice cream cone.

An image formed in her mind of her pushing the big Kindred to the bed and doing exactly that—licking and sucking him while he moaned her name.

The surprisingly aggressive sexual thought caught her a little off guard. Was that the bonding fruit cupcake she had eaten talking, or was it her natural sex drive finally coming out to assert itself? She knew that Jodi had a high sex drive—what if she was more like her big sister than she realized?

Well, whatever the reason, her engine was revving tonight and she was determined to get some satisfaction—she just hoped that Liosh would cooperate. She looked at herself in the viewer, taking stock of what she saw.

Melli had something a little different on tonight—something she hoped the male she loved would enjoy. But she wanted to take her time before she revealed it. So she belted a short, silky pink robe around her waist and came out into the bedroom—or sleeping chamber, as the Kindred called it.

Liosh smiled at her as his eyes traveled up and down her body, taking in the silky robe hugging her curves and her bare legs.

“You look lovely, Talli,” he murmured.

Melli’s heart started pounding faster.

“Thank you,” she murmured, wishing that Liosh would offer her more than compliments. But the big Kindred only opened the covers and patted the spot beside him on the bed. “Come on, let’s get some sleep,” he said.

As if sleep was what Melli was craving! Still, she wasn’t about to give up on getting what she wanted yet.

Follow the plan, she told herself firmly. Just do what you planned and everything will be okay.

Se hoped, anyway.

Step number one was taking off her robe. She waited until Liosh’s pale blue eyes were on her and then, with deliberately slow and sensual movements, slipped the soft pink robe down her shoulders to reveal the silky pink teddy that went with it.

Liosh’s eyes widened as he took her in. The teddy was a tiny little number with lacy, see-through cups that showed the innocent buds of her nipples pressing against the thin fabric. It tied with a bow right between her breasts and then fluttered down loose on either side, opening to show the pink lacy panties that went with it. Tiny panties which barely covered her pussy at all.

It was a far cry from the comfortable oversized sleep t-shirts Melli usually wore and she knew it. But then again, she didn’t intend to do much sleeping tonight.

“Melinda?” Liosh’s eyes were still wide. “This is… a new look for you.”

“Oh, I know—do you like it?” Melli twirled carelessly, as though she was just showing off a new dress instead of wearing a naughty little outfit which barely covered her assets. “I got it while I was out shopping with Jodi the other day. At the new brides shop they have near that bakery where everybody gets their muffins and cupcakes.”

“I…see.” Liosh shifted uncomfortably and Melli noticed there was a definite bulge under the covers where his crotch was now. She felt a surge of triumph, but told herself she had to take things slowly. Liosh was a male with very strong principles—it might take some time to get what she wanted—no, what she needed from him.

Follow the plan, she told herself again.

“Well, time for bed.” Melli took a step towards the big, Kindred-sized bed and winced. “Ouch!” she exclaimed.

“What? What is it?” Liosh was instantly concerned for her. “Why did you cry out in pain, sweetheart?”

“Oh…” Melli winced. “I just cut myself shaving, that’s all. It’s just a tiny little cut but it really stings.”

“You did? Where?” Liosh sat up in bed, looking at her with a worried frown on his face.
