But I would help her regardless.
Because Tori had finally let me touch her—really touch andfeelher in a way that stirred desire in me in a tightening coil threatening to release.At first, I was simply checking for injuries after she was attacked by the Turnk females—a gathering and collecting species who were too wild to reason with, more victims of the Ghaal’s search for compatible mates—but then Tori had become aroused.Her scent was strong in the air, and it intoxicated me to the point where my head was swimming and my control was slipping, and that was before she touched her lips to mine.It was a delicate touch that reminded me how soft her lips were, as if I needed reminding it wasn’t something plaguing my mind every second.Tori had touched her mouth to mine—a kiss—and then her hot and wet tongue had pressed against mine, and the coil holding me together began to unravel.
I wanted to show her what else I could do with my tongue.I wanted to taste her sweet cunt and lap up all her juices.
Holding my hands up in front of my face now, I scowled at the tremors that passed through my fingers—a sign of weakness as I struggled to keep control of an instinct I had mostly forgotten.A part of me I had kept hidden under my skin for so long I had deluded myself into believing I was in complete control of myself.There had been many females dumped on this planet, but Tori was the first andonlyone to bring out this arousal in me.When she let me touch her, instinct stirred stronger than before, and my original pure intentions were wiped from my mind, replaced with depraved thoughts of mating her.
Fucking her.
But then, she pushed away, and then she was angry again.I didn’t understand why.I had simply continued what she had started, and her ripped clothing was only a barrier between my hands, mouth, cock, and her absolute pleasure.She saidno, and, of course, I understood it, although I couldn’t tell her that.Not now.
I couldn’t simply ask her why she was angry and stopped me.Tori was already mad, and it didn’t seem like a good time to tell her I had melded with her mind while she slept.An intimate act I had undertaken, again with good intentions, but ultimately without her permission.I was also angry at myself because had I waited one more night—a matter ofhourseven—I would’ve been able to touch her mind this morning while she was awake and aware of it.I could’ve explained to her what I was doing and why, and then she wouldn’t be angry.
Maybe then she wouldn’t have said no, and my cock would be sunk deep inside her wet heat by now.
Too late for that.
I would find Tori a sharpened stone to cut her hair and even help her if she wanted me to.Anything to settle down her fiery spirit so I could reveal to her I knew her language, understood her, and could speak to her too.I’d like to know where she was going with such determination, walking as if she had a mission to complete.Considering she was on a strange planet, I could certainly help her.
If she’d let me.
If I could contain my instinct and keep my hands to myself.
I had blades I’d fashioned from bone back in the home I’d built amongst the treetops, but I didn’t want to leave Tori alone for that long, so I simply found the flattest stone I could and sharpened it against another, hoping it would be enough to do as she wished.Her hair was silky smooth and finer than mine, and I suspected the sharpened stone would easily slice through it.
When I returned, Tori was sitting cross-legged near the large roots she had slept under, and she stood as I approached, brushing herself off and waiting for me, her eyebrow cocked and hands on her hips.I stopped a few feet from her, and the smell of her arousal was still in the air, and her shredded clothes did nothing to disguise it.Unable to hold back the groan that escaped my lips, Tori lifted her other eyebrow at me before glancing at the stone I held and holding her hand out expectantly.
When I didn’t hand it over immediately, she thrust her hand harder between us and said, “Hand it over.Thank you.”Her tone was terse and clipped, and it didn’t improve when I clutched the sharpened stone to my chest and pointed at myself.
Both her eyebrows rose further at my gesture.“You want to do it?”She pressed her lips into a thin line, her foot tapping as she studied me.“I dunno about this, Vitri.You’re still an alien to me, and for all I know, you’re going to use that stone to slice my neck open.”She dragged her finger along her throat and made a choking sound to emphasize the motion, and my eyes widened.Did she really think I would hurt her?“Of course…” she continued, now playing with her hair, “… you can’t even understand me, can you?So none of these musings will do you any good.”
My jaw clenched as she continued to study me.Every second I waited to tell her I could understand her stretched out and increased the betrayal, making the ultimate acknowledgment more painful.Should I just chime in with something?Would there be a perfect moment to reveal what I had done?Uncertain, I chose to remain silent.Maybe I could get her to let me touch her mind and then pretend I hadn’t done it the night before.
The idea sprung a sharp pain in my chest—it was painful to deceive her.My indecision continued to plague me, but as I opened my mouth to respond, she moved forward and closed the gap between us before pressing her palms to my chest.I couldn’t help the rumble of satisfaction that moved through my body and the spike of heat and pheromones I couldn’t contain, pushing all other thoughts of a confession from my mind.Because Tori was near me, who I wanted to claim as my own, to bring pleasure and have her delicate body pressed against mine.She hummed gently with me, rubbing her hands on my chest for a moment and smiling as my growl of pleasure increased in volume before holding one hand out, palm up.“Vitri…” she purred out, her fingers still tracing lines across my chest, “… please hand me the stone.”
I did because I apparently had no control when it came to denying her wishes.
She went to move away again, and I growled, wrapping my arms around her.The realization she had only touched me like that to get her way stung a little, but she also thought she was still in a life-or-death situation, and since I had betrayed her first, I could forgive her for the lie.
My lips lifted into a smirk.If she wanted to play games with me, then we could play.
Tori wasn’t struggling but staring hard into my eyes as though she could get her way this time by simply glaring at me.Her little bouts of anger were starting to come across as cute, given how harmless she appeared to be, so I simply smiled at her.She smiled back, but it didn’t reach her eyes.Keeping the stone firmly grasped in one hand, she placed the other on my upper arm, stroking it as she had done my chest earlier.
“Let me go, Vitri,” she murmured, impatience flashing in her eyes despite her smile and cool tone.“I have a feeling you understand me more than you’re letting on, so I’m asking you nicely to let me go.”
“Kiss,” I mumbled, and her eyes widened, the smile dropping from her lips.
“I’m sorry?”
“Kiss,” I repeated.
Tori’s gaze was firmly on mine, and I felt her body slacken slightly as her arousal increased, the scent almost bringing me to my knees.“Are you suggesting that if I kiss you, you’ll let me go?”She bristled at the implication, but something in her eyes told me she was not only considering it but wanted it too.This brought on another surge of possessiveness that flared in my chest.
If she wanted me back, I don’t know if I could contain myself.
I only watched her and loosened my grip on her slightly.She still didn’t move, and when I released her entirely, she stayed standing right next to me, her breasts pushing against my stomach.We stood like that for a long moment, and as a shudder ran down her spine, I traced my fingers down her arm’s smooth skin.
Content with having turned the tables on her, I took a step back.I had no intention of forcing her to do anything for any gain of my own.I had vowed to watch and protect her and that I would.But she liked me more than she was letting on.Despite our differences, there was an attraction there, and my cock throbbed with need at the revelation.If Tori would only stop being so stubborn and give herself to me, I could show her worlds of pleasure.
