“I’m scared too. But I don’t feel that part of me taking over.” His hold on her remained soft. The muscles of his thighs flexed beneath her, creating a bit of movement that made her squeeze around him. He closed his eyes, bending his head to her shoulder. “Right now, I just want to savor this.”
Kaia rolled her hips slowly. He emitted a strained sound and his fingers tightened on her back, his other hand gliding up her side. She unfolded her legs for a better brace on his lap. Sensing the adjustment, Orion shifted his hands to her hips, stabilizing her atop him.
“Stay with me,” she pleaded as she rolled her hips again, building a slow, deep rhythm. “For as long as you can.”
Orion nodded. “I can feel what you need now. It… helps to alleviate the impulse.”
He stayed still, aside from providing the support she needed to move against him. Her back arched as she took him deeper, her own restraint threatening to slip. She saw no tension in his face, and it gave her the courage to lean in and kiss him, feel his tongue against hers. He moved his hands up her back, pulling her closer.
Kaia broke the kiss to take in the sight of him inside her. Their hips came together as she moved, the ledges of his abs taut as he maintained their balance on his knees. His shaft was coated in exorin mixed with her own milky fluids.
She’d never had sex like this before. With love bubbling like a physical thing between their bodies. She couldn’t tell where the effects of the Neurosync ended and her heart began. It made her expand past the boundaries of her body. Sex had always been rough, always. She liked that most of the time. This time, all Kaia wanted was this.
Still looking down, Kaia frowned at the trace of pink she noticed glistening on Orion’s shaft as she pulled her hips back for another thrust. Was that…
“Blood,” Orion finished the thought for her. Kaia glanced at him, confused. He hadn’t hurt her. She didn’t even feel anything.
It finally dawned on her. After all these years, she had to get her periodnow?
Kaia was mortified, hitching her hips to a sudden stop.
She didn’t realize she’d subvocalized it until it was too late.
Hey.He cupped her face, thumbs stroking along her cheeks. She couldn’t meet his eyes at first, but he gave her a little nudge, speaking out loud this time. “Hey, look at me.”
A small smile played on his lips as he leaned forward to press a kiss to her forehead.
“Don’t you know what this means?” Orion allowed himself a little push of the hips, urging her back into careful motion. “We can make a fucking baby.”
Kaia froze at the prospect. She hadn’t thought she’d bealiveto go through with a pregnancy. But now she was, and it was terrifying. She tried to hide her trepidation, but her NS skills were still shit.
“Don’t worry,” Orion insisted. “It’s too early to worry about that. We have hundreds of years to figure this out. There’s nothing to rush here.”
“But it’s my job,” Kaia stumbled. “It’s like… my only job.”
“Your job right now,” he wiped a silver smudge from her chin, “is to find New Earth with me. And to make it a great fucking adventure.”
She wasn’t scared anymore when he took over, lowering her to her back on the floor. Whatever happened, Orion wouldn’t hurt her—at least not in any way that mattered. Sparks ignited her skin and the air between them as they moved. When the orgasm finally exploded from her belly, her pleasure was like a mirror reflecting into him along the thread of their link, triggering his own release.
CHAPTER65
ORION
It had been another all-nighter. By the time Orion showered and came to bed after having scrubbed the crusted blood from his port, he could barely stay awake.
He should have been used to it by now.
“Morning.” Kaia stood in the doorway of the master suite, failing to suppress a bleary yawn. She pulled the heavy blanket tighter around herself, hiding the curve of a bare breast from the chill underneath.
“Go back to sleep,” he said, eyeing the steaming box sitting open on the table. Orion thought she’d get sick of waiting up for him every night, but it had been almost two years and she still had dinner—or breakfast—awaiting him every time.
Kaia shuffled to the table and perched on a wooden stool that had to be older than any human alive today. Such were the antiques that came with the commander’s suite. A bare knee poked out of her cocoon as she propped a foot on the rung.
She looked at him. Waiting.
Orion sighed and took his place across from her, pulling the warm box closer. The sight and smell of sizzling steak, nestled next to a generous mound of fries, made his mouth water.
“Thanks, princess,” he said as he dug into the meal.
