Vress shifted her in his arms and palmed the lock. When the doors opened, he walked inside the large chamber, continued until they were next to the bed, and he eased her to her feet.

“Now, Aubrey, I would enjoy seeing you unclothed.”

She looked at him and inclined her head. “Yes, Lord Vress, or would you prefer Overlord?”

He smiled as she eased the dress off her shoulders, and it slithered to her hips.

He blinked. “You have a mark.”

“Stamped from the factory the long way round.” She worked the dress off her hips and was standing in front of him in her little princess shoes.

She toed off the shoes and stepped out of the fabric.

“Turn.”

She slowly rotated, and he gripped her shoulders when she faced away from him, pressing a kiss to the back of her neck.

She shivered, and he moved from her neck to her left shoulder, licking and sucking his way over to the right.

“Overlord?”

“Vress. Address me as Vress.”

“Vress, then. Are you tasting me?”

He chuckled and turned her to face him. “I am. Objection?”

“No, simple clarification.”

He kissed her, and her body began to tingle across her shoulders. Heat was spreading from the path his mouth had taken, and she inhaled against his lips.

He lifted his head and smiled. “It is nice to know that the effect still works.”

She whispered, “Effect?”

“The designers provided me with a nerve agent to arouse my lover in a hurry. I was busy defending several worlds when I began my time in the universe, and I needed speed to gain the benefits of pleasure.”

“Oh. That’s unfortunate.”

“I wish to take my time with you, Aubrey, but not the first time.”

“Very well, what would you prefer that I do?”

“React. That is all I ask of you.”

Aubrey looked up at him and nodded. “All right.”

He smiled and shrugged out of his outer robe. “Let’s see how far we can get.”

He gripped her waist and set her at the edge of the bed. He went to his knees, lifted her feet to his shoulders, and she learned what his mouth felt like a second later. It was a helluva first date.

Aubrey closed her eyes as his tongue and chemical agent caused a fire in her blood that had her hips rocking with every slow stroke. She felt her body rushing to climax and let it go. The hoarse scream rang in her own ears as she arched, and her clit throbbed while her sex tightened around his fingers.

He lapped at her until she groaned and twitched then slumped. She drew in deep breaths, and he lifted his head, his lips shining.

“Aubrey, I am shocked.” He moved over her and kissed her neck, jaw, and then her lips.

“Shocked, Vress?”
