Her hands tightened in his hair as he circled her clit, applying just enough pressure to make her hips buck against his mouth. When he slid a finger inside her tight channel, she nearly came off the bed.
“Yes,” she panted. “More.”
He added a second finger, stretching her carefully as he continued to lick and suck. She was so wet, so ready, and the sight of her coming apart beneath him made his cock ache with the need to be inside her. But he wanted her wild, mindless with pleasure, before he took her.
When he curled his fingers, finding the spot inside her that made her gasp, she shattered. Her orgasm rippled through her, her channel clenching around his fingers, and he lapped up her release, prolonging her pleasure until she collapsed back against the pillows, trembling and sated.
He kissed his way back up her body before settling between her legs, his cock notched at her small entrance. Her eyes were dazed but focused on him, her hands coming up to frame his face.
“Now,” she whispered. “I need you inside me now.”
He pushed forward slowly, the tight heat of her body making him groan. She was so small compared to him that he worried about hurting her, but she wrapped her legs around his hips, pulling him deeper.
“Don’t hold back,” she said fiercely. “I want all of you.”
He thrust forward, burying himself to the hilt in one smooth stroke, and they both cried out at the sensation. She was perfect, hot and tight and gripping him like she never wanted to let go.Her inner muscles rippled around him, adjusting to his size, and he stayed still, letting her set the pace.
When she started moving beneath him, her hips lifting to meet his tentative thrusts, he lost the last of his control. He braced himself above her and began to move, setting a rhythm that had her gasping his name. Her legs tightened around him, her hands clutching at his shoulders as he drove into her, each stroke deeper and harder than the last.
The barbs at the base of his cock began to extend, and he could feel her channel responding, the slick walls gripping him in a way that sent sparks of pleasure shooting up his spine.
“What’s happening?” she gasped, her eyes wide. “I can feel—oh God, I can feel them.”
“They’re stroking you, building your arousal.” He bent to kiss her, swallowing her moan as another barb extended. “It makes my seed more effective.”
“I don’t care about that.” She reached up to pull him closer. “I just want more of you. All of you.”
He growled and thrust harder, the final barb snapping into place and locking them together. She cried out, her body convulsing around him as another orgasm crashed over her. The sensation of her pulsing around his cock, combined with the knowledge that he was finally, truly inside her, pushed him over the edge. His seed jetted into her in long, hot spurts, and he roared his release, his body shuddering with the force of it.
He collapsed beside her, rolling to his back and pulling her on top of him so he could stay inside her as long as possible. She lay against his chest, her heart racing in time with his, her breath warm against his neck.
“Wow,” she finally whispered.
“Wow,” he agreed, stroking her hair with a hand that trembled slightly.
They stayed like that for a long time, neither speaking, simply enjoying the closeness. Eventually, the barbs retracted, and he slipped from her body, but she made no move to leave his arms.
“Was it worth waiting for?” he asked, and she gave a breathless laugh.
“Definitely worth waiting for. Though if you make me wait that long again, I may have to hurt you.”
“Understood.” He pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “For the record, I was trying to be noble.”
“Your nobility is noted and appreciated.” She tilted her head back to look at him, her brown eyes soft with something that made his chest ache. “But no more holding back. Whatever this is between us, I want all of it.”
“Whatever this is.” He traced the curve of her cheek. “I should probably warn you that I’ve never done this before. The staying part. The building something part.”
“Neither have I.” She caught his hand, pressing a kiss to his palm. “But I think I’d like to try. With you.”
“Even though I come with Grorn enemies and an obsessive quest and enough baggage to fill a cargo hold?”
“Even then.” Her smile was radiant in the bioluminescent glow. “Besides, I come with a silver baby who may or may not be the key to the greatest treasure in the universe. That’s pretty significant baggage too.”
He laughed, the sound surprising him. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d laughed like this—freely, without guarding himself.
“We make quite a pair.”
“We do.” She snuggled closer, yawning. “Is it okay if I sleep? I know we should probably talk about plans and strategies and?—”
