Chapter 13

Berus

Berus stood just inside the Revenge , pacing as he waited for Cami and the crew to implement their plan.

After Ulrek got wind of what had happened in the ship's galley yesterday, he'd forbidden Berus from leaving the ship while Rehden was still in the hangar. His captain's official reason? He didn't want to clean up the mess should Berus end up accidentally killing the male.

The whole point was to make sure Rehden was seen at New Rhea. His bounty was fresher, and more would be after it. It would take the attention and pressure off their ship. The bounties on Ulrek and the other Dominion deserters on the crew were higher but older. There had been countless reports of Ulrek sightings on New Rhea over the years, and most knew to ignore them now.

They had even made several fake reports themselves. Dex called it "crying wolf on purpose."

Berus fretted as he waited inside the ship for Cami to return. What the hell was taking them so long? How hard was it to separate her from the thieving bastard's grip and shove him out of the private hangar?

They'd already paid the right people to turn off the cameras outside the hangar. And they knew that there were no cameras inside. If it got out that private hangars weren't so private, the facilities would lose a lot of loyal customers.

He tapped his claw on the ship's floor as a commotion started up outside. Moments later, the door opened, and Cami scrambled in. Her eyes were wide, and she was panting from her run up the gangplank.

"I got you." Berus scooped her into his arms.

Beautiful honey-brown eyes looked up into his own for a brief second before Cami turned toward the now closed and locked ship door.

"Do not worry. The crew is capable. They will succeed."

Berus had no doubt that the crew would get the male out of the hangar without incident. Ulrek and Tuhror were out there, as well as Kirek and Vhast. They were all good fighters. The humans were nothing to laugh at either; they could hold their own.

Without releasing her, he started through the ship toward his quarters.

"What the—Hey! Let me go." Cami tapped softly on his back.

"I promised Ulrek I would not take you to my quarters while Rehden was here. He is gone. You are mine now."

"Is that why I haven't seen you around much after what happened in the greenroom?" she asked.

"Yes." She didn't need to know that he'd been afraid of his reaction to her, because he'd changed his mind about that already. Now his goal was to fuck her as many times as possible to get her out of his system before they dropped her off.

Camila didn't protest again but let him carry her down the corridor. He only put her down when they were safely inside his room. Despite having spent only a short time against Rehden, she smelled faintly of him. Berus didn't like it, but removing the offending clothes was easy. All the clothing decontaminators were still out of commission right now thanks to Nibbles' rewiring job, but he had plenty of clothes for her to wear.

Her arms were wrapped around her naked body protectively.

"Do not be frightened. I won't hurt you." He lifted her arms. "Let me see." He examined her for injuries.

"I know you won't." She was still shaking from her dash to the safely of the ship. To him.

"He did not hurt you."

"No. I ran the moment he let go of me." She exhaled loudly, reached behind her to find the edge of his bed, and sat down.

"Good."

Rehden's scent was still faintly on her, and Berus needed to remove it now. He stripped quickly, tossing his clothes onto the chair. She inhaled sharply at the sight of him, and he scented the air to double check it wasn't fear.

It wasn't.

Her eyes drifted down his body in appreciation, settling on his rising cock. Her lips parted.

Berus pushed her down onto his bed more roughly than he meant to, then began to rub his body over hers, transferring his scent.

"Berus? What are you—"

The thick head of his cock caught at the V of her legs, and she gasped. When he was sure he'd rubbed every part of her front, he flipped her over, pressing her chest down into his mattress, and did the same with her back.

"I'm putting my scent on you. You're mine until we get to Reka 5, little one. All mine."

He almost expected her to protest, but she didn't. Instead she just giggled, and all the timidness she had just moments before disappeared. "I think I can handle you."

Handle him? She handled him perfectly. It was like she was made for him and him for her.

He was hard as stone now, and when he slid against her ass and between her soft inner thighs, she arched her back, giving him access.

"Fuck. You're so perfect." He grabbed a handful of her rounded backside before giving it a light tap.

She hissed and moaned and shoved her hips back at him. He moved away just enough to bend down and cover her cunt with his mouth and thrust his tongue into her channel. Stars! She tasted divine.

He fucked her with his tongue a few more times, making her little hands claw at his bedding. He wanted to make this last and take his time but the need to fuck her, to claim her with his seed in her body, was too strong. He toyed with the tiny nub at the top of her mound with the fleshy pad of his fingers and pulled away, eager to replace his tongue with his cock.

He pulled her up onto her knees and tucked some of his bedding under her hips so that her ass was offered up to him like a prize. It looked so good in this position, and he loved the way his cock looked nestled between the rounded globes. Positioning himself at the seam of her entrance, he gritted his teeth and watched, transfixed, as the thick head spread her open and speared into her.

Fuck! That was so fucking hot. He looked massive next to her. How had all that fit into her before? No wonder she'd screamed loud enough to summon the whole crew.

Not this time. His door was locked. She could scream all she wanted, and they'd still be able to cuddle after.

She was incredibly slick and ready for him but also very, very tight in this position. She squeezed him like a velvet fist, and he had to fight to pull out just so he could thrust in again.

"I wish you could see this. See me stretching you." He spread her ass cheeks as he pulled out this time, drinking in the sight of her leaving her slick wetness along his length.

He plunged in again, just as she greedily shoved back against him, then let out a howl as he sank in deeper than either of them expected.

"Stars, little one. I'm going to fuck you until I die."

Camila

Camila tried to hold back her cries, remembering the kerfuffle her screaming had caused last time, but she couldn't. It was impossible when every thrust had the wide head of his cock hitting something inside her that might as well have been the scream button. The position made him feel so much bigger too, and he was already so huge to begin with.

What the hell had she gotten herself into? She couldn't believe she'd pretty much agreed to be Berus's until they reached Reka 5. How would she survive that? She wasn't even sure if she could survive the next few minutes.

She wasn't able to think too much more about that because he was reaching around her to strum her clit. She buried her face into his mattress and let the scream out. Firm fingers tugged at her hair, lifting her face off the mattress and letting the sound free. Berus's cock grew even harder when he heard it, something she would not have thought possible.

He pounded into her, every thrust drawing out another shriek of her pleasure. Her screams were accompanied by the sounds of their bodies slapping together as well as his grunts and growls.

She was clenched so tightly around him that it felt like an elastic pulled to its breaking point. She clawed at his sheets. Just as she thought she couldn't possibly handle any more, it snapped. She pulsed around him as white-hot pleasure stole all her senses.

Behind her, he moved like a feral beast, grunting and growling as he pummeled into her. Then, with a roar, he was filling her. He pulled out and hot seed splashed onto her back.

She was still lost in bliss when she became acutely aware that he was rubbing his seed into her skin. Strange, but Camila didn't mind. This must be what he meant by covering her with his scent.

This was the opposite of anything she'd known before. Usually, they wanted her to wash their scent off her body as soon as possible, since scents were crucial for the formation of a mate bond.

This felt like a dangerous game. Was Berus that sure they wouldn't form a bond between here and Reka 5? Or had the Dominion exaggerated the likelihood of such a thing happening?

She tried to wiggle out from under him. "I should go get cleaned up."

But he growled and tightened his arms around her. "Stay. We will clean later."

Okayyy. So Berus wanted to cuddle. That was risky too, according to Uctarr and Rehden.

But it felt so good to have his arms around her that she decided it was worth the risk. They weren't going to be together for long, just until they got to Reka 5. She'd spent more time with Rehden stuck in the shuttle, and he never formed a bond. They'd be fine.

Cami figured she deserved this moment of peace. She'd earned it.

She relaxed in his arms and let him hold her.
