Chapter 23: Kelta
I had no idea how good sex could feel with a CyberTitan because I hadn’teverconsidered it. But Thruster pays attention to everything that works.
He rocks his hips into mine as I sit on his lap, his thumb working over my clit, his capable mouth suckling a breast, teeth gingerly taking over my nipple. Thruster steadies me inside the curl of his other arm. Even that hand massages me gently. But it’s his searing hot, engorged cock, pulsing and penetrating me, that has control.
Every extremity seems dedicated to my pleasure. He is in command. Thruster makes me feel safe, admired, protected, all the things I need to let my guard down and focus on this moment with him.
He rumbles a low, hungry note as my climax nears. Thruster bonds us harder, deeper, and faster, until I am riding a glittering cloud of weightlessness and on fire in every corner of my body.
I tense around his pulsing shaft. He grunts as he fills me. My hips heat as he pumps into me until he is spent. Then he clutches me to his chest like I’m fragile and gently eases himself in and out until I melt.
Thruster sighs with what sounds like irritation. He kisses my temple. “I have been requested for a patrol. Fury is outside our door.”
I rest my forehead on his chest, still out of breath. “Back to work, already?”
“I will snag you every moment I can.”
Leaning back, I smile up at him. “You better.”
Thruster picks me up and carries me to the shower stall. He switches on the water, helps me rinse off, and then does the same for himself. But as I'm about to grab a nearby towel, he snakes a hand around my belly and draws me back and against his rigid body. He whispers in my ear, "Please stay on the ship so I can find you as soon as I'm back."
“Promise. And I have something for you.”
Thruster turns the water off. “You do?”
"Yeah, Clover and I built it." I dry off and climb into my armored clothes, then grab the case by the door and open it.
Thruster dries himself in a flash with a pop of engine heat. The moment Thruster has the lower half of his black webbing on, the door opens, and a huge orange Titan peers inside. "Mmm, smells like sex in here. Heard you found a mate, Brother."
Thruster and Fury salute each other. “I’m sorry, I’ve been off duty for a few days.”
“We all do that when we find our mates. They deserve to be fought for. Settle the business, then get down to business, yeah?” Fury gives Thruster a devilish grin.
I collect the devices from the case and step aside as a wooden pole reaches through the doorway and slaps Fury in the ass.
He barely flinches. “Keanna, quit flirting. I have to work soon. I hate sniping with a raging hard-on.”
“Oh, my stars, Fury!”
The woman outside our door wears furs and beads in her hair. She blushes bright red.
“Now you look like me,” Fury teases.
I extend a hand to her. “Hi, I’m Kelta.”
She rights her staff and stands it beside her, then reaches around it to shake my hand. "Keanna, Fury's mate. Celeste is around here somewhere. She's Chaos' mate, a thin blonde. Just a heads up, he splits into three dudes. Anyway, a few others will arrive soon. I'd be happy to show you the ship while they work."
“Thanks. Clover kind of put me on a mission right when I got here.”
“I heard. She is a bit of a perfectionist, also hyperactive.”
I nod. “And speaking of…” I walk up to Thruster. “Our second project was to engineer you a body shield.”
Thruster’s smile fades. “You can’t be serious.”
“Totally.” I attach the shield generators over his chest and around his body. “Obviously, they won’t shield your engines while in operation. But Clover made them nano-responsive, so they don’t need commands, though they can take them.”
Thruster glances over his shoulder at me as I place the last generator over the back of his neck. It softens into his synthskin and melds with it until it’s just a dark circle in his skin.
