But it was.
Surely this must mean he was a promiscuous manwhore. That was the only way he could have gotten so good. She tried to focus on that, because that was a turn off, right? A total, utter turn off.
But while her brain agreed, her body didn’t. He continued his assault on her clit with his supremely talented tongue, and the pleasure grew more intense, no matter how hard she tried to deny it. She wound tighter and tighter, like a rubber band being stretched.
Then it snapped, and a thin scream left her mouth as she pulsed and spasmed around his fingers. He didn’t stop to celebrate his victory, only hummed in appreciation, and kept going, changing up the tempo just a bit so she could start the climb again.
The second orgasm came hard and fast. And this time she couldn’t even scream; all she could do was gasp for air, her body a quivering, shaky mess.
“Beautiful.” The softly growled word barely made sense.
She didn’t know where he was carrying her, but when he set her down, it was onto the giant floor cushion on the opposite side of the office, the one next to the bookcases filled with Tallean literature. She wondered how the books stayed in place when the ship was moving, then laughed at the fact that she was worried about something like that at a time like this.
Chapter 11
Ulrek
Ulrek tucked Delaney close against his body and wondered how long it would be before she realized she was cuddled in his arms and make a big fuss about it. The guilt and self-loathing would soon hit her hard, but until it did, he’d enjoy this moment of her submission.
Cuddling was something he always wanted but never got to do. When he was a high-ranking captain with the Dominion, females had always tried to stay with him in bed not because they wanted to, but because they wanted to force a mate bond. Since striking off on his own, all his encounters were as Captain Uzzar, at pleasure houses where he could pay them to leave right after. It was the safest option.
This was a hell of a lot more satisfying than those empty encounters, but much riskier.
This had not been part of the plan when he put up the job posting. While workplace dalliances were not frowned upon in his culture, he’d wanted to avoid them if at all possible simply because it made things difficult. Feelings got involved, and that was dangerous for someone like him. It put the rest of his crew in danger, too.
But when it came to Delaney, Ulrek couldn’t help himself. He didn’t understand it. He wasn’t usually this easily controlled by his needs and desires. He didn’t cuddle females in his library after making them come all over his face, and hedefinitelydidn’t sniff their hair like he was trying to memorize their scent and the way it mingled with his.
What the fuck was happening? What had started as nothing more than a mission to get her to stay and work on his greenroom had quickly gotten out of hand. He couldn’t afford to get attached to a female who wanted to stab him in the back, yet he also, for some unfathomable reason, couldn’t release her from his arms.
His comm alerted him of a message, and Delaney made an exclamation of surprise, bolted upright, and tried to scramble out of his arms. And there it was: reality filtering back after her high. Ulrek let her go and collected their clothes.
“I am visiting the market,” Ulrek said as he tidied himself up to look presentable. “I can—”
“I’m not going to the market with you.”
He had indeed been about to ask her to come along and be his tour guide, but he wasn’t going to admit that now. “I was merely going to offer to drop you off at home.” He tried to keep from smiling at her switch back to being all combative with him.
“I’m not going home. I’ll call another transport.”
“Where are you going?”
The two humans they’d found sniffing around the hangar were gone, but he didn’t want Delaney bumping into her ex-mate.
“That’s none of your business.” She started to put her hair up again.
“Best to wash up first,” Ulrek said as he sent a message to Emil. “Emil is human, so he will not be able to smell what we did. I’ll get him to take you to my quarters to clean yourself.” Any of his Tallean crew would know the moment they opened the door what had happened between them with one single whiff.
“Your quarters?” She rolled her eyes. “No. No fucking way.”
“It’s private, and you won’t have anyone walking in on you. My crew all have their own rooms with private facilities for natural bodily functions, but the cleansing units are shared.”
“I’ll use the shared units. I’m not going into your room.”
“It was your rule: no one finds out. I’m just helping you follow it. Some of my crew is on board right now. They are curious about you, and if they walk in on you cleaning, they’ll know.”
“I’ll tell them the greenroom is hot and muggy, and I needed a shower afterward. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.”
Ulrek leaned in and sniffed loudly. Then he groaned. “You smell delicious. I had no idea plants got you off so easily.”
