Need felt his breath catch in his throat as his shaft began to harden.
“Hell, yes, it’s true,” he admitted, trying not to let his voice dip down into a growl. It had been so long since he had tasted her sweet pussy! Gods he really hoped she was going in the direction he thought she was…
“Well, that’s kind of the basis of my proposition. You see, I still seem to have the Lust Bacterium in my system which gives me certain, er, needs too.” Lan’ara cleared her throat again.
“I see,” Need said slowly. “So you propose that we meet our mutual needs together?”
“Yes.” Lan’ara lifted her chin, looking him squarely in the eyes, though her cheeks were flushed with obvious embarrassment. “I’ll let you…let you taste me on a regular basis as long as you help me meet my needs as well.”
“You mean as long as I make you come, hmm?” Need growled softly. She always had had trouble reaching the peak on her own, he remembered. Which was one reason it had been his great pleasure to help her reach it with his tongue or fingers…or shaft.
Lan’ara’s cheeks got darker.
“Well…yes,” she said, still meeting his eyes. “Of course, this doesn’t mean that I love you again—or even like you, for that matter,” she added quickly. “It’s just an acknowledgement that you need something from me and I need something from you—that’s all. It will be a no-strings attached, completely equitable arrangement between the two of us.”
“Agreed.” Need nodded gravely, though his shaft was hard as a rock. She could talk all she wanted to about this being a simple, no-strings “arrangement” but he knew that if he could get close to her body, he might also have a chance to win her heart.
And a chance was all he needed.
“Did you want to start right now—tonight?” he asked, seeing the way she was shifting her hips around from side to side on the couch. He recognized that sign from the time they had spent together—Lan’ara was having touch cravings. She needed to be caressed and tasted—needed it badly. Still, she hesitated and he could feel her weighing her options while she tried to decide how to answer him.
“Of course, we could wait until tomorrow if you’re busy tonight,” he said, trying to keep his tone light and unconcerned. “I don’t mind—whatever works for you, works for me.”
“No…” She bit her lip and shifted again. “No, I think…tonight would be all right. If you’re not busy.” She nodded at the tablet he’d been reading. “It looks like I might have interrupted you.”
“It’s all right,” Need assured her. “It can wait.”
He slid off the couch and went to his knees before her. Gently, he placed his hands on her upper thighs, feeling her shiver like a nervous equine under his touch.
“How can I serve you, my Lady?” he murmured, looking up at her.
Lan’ara bit her lip and he felt her quivering under his touch. Would she like the role-reversal he was playing here—or would it make her angry again?
To his relief, a little smile played around the corners of her lush mouth.
“You want to serve me, do you, Kindred?” she asked softly.
“More than anything, my Lady,” Need assured her hoarsely. “Just tell me what you want me to do.”
“Well, to begin with, you can take care of these…”
Pulling the tie between her breasts which held her short robe closed, Lan’ara bared herself for him.
Need sucked in his breath at the sight of her creamy brown breasts tipped with berry dark nipples. Each one had a droplet of amber fluid perched on its peak, reminding him of the many times he had sucked them before.
“My lady, your breasts appear to be full of nectar,” he growled softly. “May I have your permission to suck them and ease your pain?”
“Yes.” Lan’ara thrust her bare breasts out to him eagerly. “You may.”
“Thank you, my Lady,” Need rumbled and, leaning forward, he sucked the first ripe peak into his mouth.
Lan’ara moaned and threw back her head, giving herself to the pleasure of letting the big Kindred suck her breasts. This was what her body had been needing! Well, this and…other things, she admitted to herself. But they could cross that bridge when they came to it. Right now, she just wanted to enjoy feeling Need’s hot mouth on her nipples again.
He took his time with her, as he always had in the past. That was one thing Lan’ara liked about him—he never rushed their time together. He always sucked and licked and tasted her until she was ready to call a halt, and this occasion was no different.
She shifted on the couch, trying to put off the inevitable but unfortunately, the way he was sucking the tight peaks of her nipples made her pussy feel hotter and hotter. At last, she pushed his head gently away and looked down at him.
