A sharp sting pierced through her musings and then emotions rolled into her mind. Smoldering desire, ambition, and tenderness. He was as fascinated by her as she was by him, but his interest went deeper. His feelings were urgent and consuming.
He broke the kiss and stared into her eyes as his hands gripped her hips and he began to slide her up and down on his cock.Mate. The word echoed through his mind, possessive and filled with wonder. He thought she was his mate, the female he was destined to spend the rest of his life with.
His fingers gripped her tighter and he shifted to his knees, bouncing her up and down. “I know you don’t understand but I needed you to feel this certainty. You are my soulmate, and I am yours.”
She didn’t argue, yet didn’t really understand. He lowered her to her back and resumed the steady thrusting that drove them both crazy. Her body quickly responded to the friction and slide of his cock inside her tight passage, but her mind struggled to process what he was showing her.
He slipped one arm beneath her neck and eased his other hand between their bodies. “You’re much too relaxed. I want to feel that tight pussy clamp down hard on my cock.”
The insistent rubbing of his thumb quickly silenced her speculation. Tension built inside her, sweeping away all rational thought. She lost herself in the sensations, giving over to the pleasure and intense desire. She arched and raked her nails down his back.
He growled, her sudden aggression fueling his. He pulled out and flipped her over, urging her shoulders down as he thrust into her from behind. She gasped, clenching the bedding as he thrust much harder and penetrated her deeper than ever before.
She came suddenly, burying her face in the bedding to muffle her scream. He gripped her hips and pounded into her, claiming her body if not her soul. Another orgasm shattered her senses, leaving her shaken and confused. A swell of energy cascaded from her head to her toes. Her entire body tingled and reality blurred. Her inner muscles tightened, making it almost impossible for him to move.
Neloff cried out, shuddering against her back. His cock bucked inside her and he dropped his forehead to her upper back. Warm seed jetted out over and over; she could feel each pulse as his release claimed him.
“Perfect,” he whispered into her damp hair. “You are so fucking perfect.”
He wrapped his arms around her and rolled them to their sides. Their bodies separated and she felt warm fluid trickle out between her folds. She hadn’t realized sex was so messy.
“Are our minds still linked?” she muttered, too weak to move.
“The link is present, but not active,” he assured her. “It will dissolve in a day or two.”
He’d clearly meant to put her at ease with the explanation. What she felt was conflicted. She was thrilled that the loss of her virginity had been on her terms, but what happened now? The other ship would arrive tomorrow and she would never see Neloff again. At least, that’s how she’d expected this to work when she’d agreed to spend the night with him.
“What makes you think I’m your mate?” she asked. He’d insisted on the mind link, so answering a few questions was the least he could do. She rolled in a tight circle then propped her head on her hand so she could see him. “Am I still moving to the other ship in the morning?”
“You must, for now.” He pressed his hand against the side of her face and ran his thumb across her lower lip. “I will request permission to court you as soon as I recruit a controller.”
“Do you have someone in mind?” The conversation felt surreal, as if they were talking about someone else.
“There are three I would consider, but one I like more than the others.”
Her pulse gradually sped. He was talking about the other member of a power triad. They would return and claim her after a few weeks of courting. “Can I meet them? Are they on this ship?”
Neloff shook his head and lowered his arm, but offered no more information.
He couldn’t just drop this in her lap and then clam up. “I have so many questions. Why do you need permission to court me? Shouldn’t I be the one who decides whether or not I want to be courted by you or anyone else?”
“All of this will make more sense after you’ve spoken with Raina.” He sighed. “I should have waited to tell you. You have enough to deal with right now.”
“If I want you and you want me, what is the problem?”
“I’m a hybrid mercenary. The only way the Citadel’s leadership will accept me is if I’m paired with an extraordinary controller. I know one, but I need time to convince him that I’m a worthy source. Our relationship has been… difficult in the past.”
She tensed, her heart starting to pound for an entirely different reason. “Won’t other males want to court me? Everyone makes it sound like second-level conduits are the most sought-after people in the entire star system.”
“You will be protected from the advances of other males until I return for you.”
She wanted to believe him. She just didn’t see how it was possible to jaunt off in search of a controller and ensure her safety. “How are you going to protect me if you’re not there?”
“I used a spell that will repel other males without them understanding why they are repelled.”
“You put aspellon me?” If she hadn’t felt him in her mind a short time ago, the claim would have made her laugh.
“My father was from Tribe Sulato of Houkdi.” The import in his tone indicated that the phrase should have been all the explanation she needed.
