Chapter 9

Calie floated in a sensual heaven, thanks to the huge and hunky man with the beauty of a freaking rugged male supermodel kneeling at her feet. Staring at her down there , as if her girlie bits were the most amazing work of art he’d ever seen.

Kaden caressed his long, oh-so-clever fingers over her core, petting her outer folds with light, languid strokes, as if he had all the time in the world. With a gentle nudge to one inner thigh, he encouraged her to part her legs a little wider. He caressed the super sensitive flesh of her inner thighs, then traced back and forth along the seam where her legs met her torso, making her inner walls twitch with want. Dampness seeped from her opening. She’d never wanted a man more, never been so attuned to every single movement he made, no matter how slight. There was nothing trivial about any of his attention, the man so laser focused. Such a new experience for her.

Zings of pleasure arrowed from everywhere he petted her, spreading lusty chills down her legs and up her torso. God, she liked being in the pleasurable cocoon with him, away from the rest of the world, and so very far from any troubles and woes. Most of all she liked her mountain of a man, awed by his potent concentration, the way he treated her like the center of his universe.

If this is a dream, I never want to wake up.

He leaned closer, and his warm breath bathed her tingling clit as he made soft, languid circles with thumbs on her inner thighs.

A needy whine escaped her, and she slipped her fingers into his spiked hair, tilting her hips, urging him to touch her there. She knew just how soft his full lips were, how clever his tongue, and she was certain her world would never be the same if he put that talented mouth to use on her clit. Her hips jerked, and she would’ve swayed into his face, but he gripped her legs, keeping her immobile with a hair’s breadth between his sexy mouth and her needy core. He left her aching and wanting so much more.

I want it all.

“Kaden.” His name whooshed out of her on a needy groan.

More wetness leaked from her center, dampening her inner thighs. His fingers teased her labia, up and back, over and over, spreading her dampness, the evidence of her lust for him.

His unhurried pace was going to make her lose her damn mind.

A low hum rumbled up from his chest. “You’re the most fucking exquisite being in the galaxy,” he murmured while keeping up his languid teasing of her sensitized flesh.

She tugged on his hair with both hands. “Kaden! Pleeeeease .”

He stared up at her with blazing amber eyes, and the heat in his gaze flip-flopped her stomach. “What did you say?”

“Kaden. Please,” she repeated, almost panting with her lust for him.

A wicked grin flashed and disappeared. His gaze lowered to her girlie bits, locking on with rapt attention. Then he parted her folds with his thumbs and licked her clit.

“Ah!” Finally!

Up, down, around and around, her wicked cyborg teased her needy bundle of nerves. Pleasure swamped her from head to toe, everything tightening, straining. Her fingers flexed in his hair as pulsing, glorious pressure built in her core, higher, higher still.

Holy sexy cyborg.

He stroked her with his skillful tongue again, and again. Two fingers teased her opening, circling, fondling, making her crazed.

Holy talented cyborg.

“Kaden,” she rasped, mouth gone dry with want even as moisture dripped from her center. God, the way he made her feel...

No one had ever played her body like the cyborg, as if he’d known her for ages, as if he possessed intimate knowledge of exactly what made her vibrate with ecstasy. It had been so damn long since anyone had touched her other than to deliver pain. Too long.

Now, here’s this powerful man, totally absorbed in me, as if he loves every second of the experience. He’s shown no interest in pulling a wham-bam done-in-a-minute deal like some guys. But those men were only in it for—

The flutters on her clit picked up speed, dragging Calie away from the uninvited dark thoughts. Her breaths sawed in and out of her lungs. Her pleasure soared as she rocketed rapidly toward what she was a billion percent sure would be a biiiiig , bone-melting orgasm.

Kaden licked a path away from her clit, and she mewled, desperate to fly over the edge, but then he gazed up at her once more, with such carnal lust blazing in his glittering whiskey eyes, that the floor seemed to fall away beneath her. The sensation had nothing to do with the fact the ship had taken off and was hurtling through space.

It had everything to do with, “Kaden.”

In that moment, she wanted nothing more than to drown in him for an eternity.

“Calie.” He slipped a finger into her vagina in a shallow exploration, watching for her reaction while she struggled to stay on her feet, her knees so weak she was sure she’d face-plant on top of him any second. Another finger joined the first.

Calie mewled again.

Whatever he saw in her expression, however he interpreted her noises, it must have urged him on, because he thrust deeper, once, twice, a third time—

His mouth slammed onto her throbbing clit.

Yes! She moaned and clung to his head as he ate her out.

One hand gripped her ass hard, while two fingers of the other thrust in and out of her vagina, and he tormented her mercilessly—blissfully—with his mouth, switching between long swipes with the flat of his tongue and quick flutters with the very tip, all of it driving her absofrickinlutely mad with lust.

“Kaden!” More wetness surged from her, dripping down her thighs. She moaned and shuddered, legs trembling, but he was there, keeping her upright with that big hand clamped on her butt cheek, his powerful fingers squeezing and massaging her flesh while the fingers inside her swirled and plunged and plundered.

Bliss. This man is bliss.

Her vaginal walls twitched, and her eyes about rolled up in her head when a third finger joined the others, stretching her, filling her with pulse-pounding pleasure. She was close, so close...

“Kaden, Kaden.” His name became a prayer on repeat as she ventured higher and higher, nearing the apex. Her leg muscles tightened. Her inner walls flexed. Her breath froze in her lungs.

He grunted and rumbled what sounded a lot like, “Mine,” then zoned in on her clitoris and sucked. Hard.

Calie exploded.

A wail escaped her throat, her body bucking as Kaden wrung wave after wave of ecstasy out of her. With a firm grip on her buttocks, he anchored her in place as she soared and soared and soared.

A delirious, delicious eternity later, her core grew hypersensitized, and she patted and tugged on his head. He took the cue, lowering her gently into his lap on the floor.

Cuddled against his chest, his powerful arms supporting her, she listened to his heart race, beating as fast as her own. Her mind floated, pleasantly blank, her body loose and relaxed. She felt...dare she think it, good? Better than good.

Freakin’ awesome.

Kaden was awesome. And he’d given her the best orgasm of her life.

He’s ruined me for all other men.

Before her mind could run off to gloomy places—like to thoughts of having to say goodbye to the amazing man, probably someday soon—she kissed his chest and wiggled her butt. He was oh so deliciously big and hard underneath her. Her vagina quivered and quaked with minigasms at the idea of all that thickness sinking into her. Pounding into her over and over...

Let’s make that a reality, ASAP.

“Your turn.” She swiveled in his arms to straddle him, and they moaned in unison when her wet, swollen folds made contact with his erection.

It pulsed and throbbed underneath her.

Kaden watched her with what looked like utter adoration on his face as she slipped a hand between them to palm his—

A chime sounded.

Soft, invisible sparks cascaded over Calie’s skin.

“What the heck?” she murmured, momentarily derailed from her pursuit of Kaden’s desirable dick. Why had the cleaning cycle restarted?

Kaden rose, taking Calie with him. “You worked up a sweat when I was honoring you. Triggered the cleansing cycle.”

Calie tightened her legs’ grip on Kaden’s waist, enjoying the feel of his cock against her ass. A smile spread across her face.

“Honoring me, eh?” She clasped his nape and planted a swift kiss on his full, tempting lips. “How about I honor you now? In your big bed, Hot Stuff.”

They didn’t make it to the bed.

With a scowl, Kaden murmured something about interlopers not knowing how to knock and invasion of privacy , then plastered her against the bathroom wall, out of reach of the smart shower.

“I can’t go slow,” he growled, as his hips rubbed his dick against her folds.

“Don’t want slow,” she shot back. Didn’t need slow, either, not after the way he’d taken care of her. She was totally soaked and ready.

He thrust into her in one swift shove.

Okay, maybe mostly ready. “Give me a minute,” she said, but he’d already frozen in place, waiting and watching her face with utter focus, so very attuned to her.

Yep, no man will ever surpass this one.

One breath, two... her vaginal walls widened, accommodating him, and his lips curled into what was most definitely a wicked, wicked smile. His pretty golden eyes glittering, he held her enthralled as he drew himself out, nice and slow, almost to his tip and then surged into her again. And again. In, out, in, out.

Sweat coated her skin. More dampness gushed from her core and coated their bodies where they were joined together.

Sooooo good...

Her eyes rolled back in her head, and she banged her skull against the wall. A lengthy moan escaped her throat. “God...”

“Kaden,” came his swift reply and then, as promised, he picked up the pace.

It was brutal. It was brilliant.

Every stroke of his cock, every grunt from his throat, his hot breath bathing her cheek as he curled over her, his hips whipping, wild and wicked, his fingers squeezing and releasing her ass in time to his thrusts, all of it drove her toward another mind-melting release.

“Yes!” She sank her nails into his shoulders. “There! Right—”

Her orgasm detonated, billowing outward from her core, her body a live wire from the top of her scalp to the tips of her toes. Her vision sheeted white then danced with stars as her walls expanded and contracted around him.

Kaden bellowed, slammed against her, and froze. His dick seemed to grow even larger inside her, and then he was coming along with her, bathing her inner walls with wet heat, the sensation making her twitch and clench around him again and again.

“Wow,” she breathed. Just...wow.

Eyes shut, she melted into goo, her arms and legs lax, and she dangled, wonderfully boneless, buoyed by her cyborg.

Yep. Kaden, was, without a doubt, the most fantastic lover she’d ever had. Better than her sweet but awkward high school boyfriend, and a gazillion times superior to her handful of casual quickies in college and after. No one was better than the man plastering her against the wall of a spaceship, in the middle of a strange, mysterious, and oftentimes frightening galaxy far, far away from her home planet.

For the first time in ever, the thought of Earth didn’t bring up pain.

She opened her eyes. Kaden stared at her with that core clenching concentration.

Emotion swelled.

Not even a star exploding near their ship could stop the words from escaping her.

“I really, really like you, cyborg.”
