The Bond That Ties Us (7 page)

He didn’t know how he measured up to human males. And at this moment, he didn’t care. Haylie looked pleased with his ten inches. That was all that mattered.

She spread her legs even farther apart as he rubbed his tip against her pussy, lubricating his cock with her juices. Slowly, he pushed past her swollen entrance.

Kamran kept a steady pressure forward invading her tight passage, reveling in the sensation of her pussy tightening and relaxing around him. He stopped once he filled her completely. It was too much, the pressure and pain of her touch around him. He’d never known it was like this.

“It’s okay. Relax,” she cooed in his ear as she held her body still, waiting for him.

He inhaled deeply and withdrew his shaft ‘til his tip threatened to leave her completely. Exhaling, he thrust back in to his hilt. He felt everything, their bodies and spirits combining, moving together as one being. Their tempo increased, each thrust bringing him closer to bliss. Advance, retreat, advance. Sweat pooled between them, their bodies slick from the exertion of their lovemaking.

Her light floral scent was everywhere. Each breath sucked him deeper into the endless depths of his arousal. Mad, she was driving him mad. Kamran growled unable to control himself any longer, he thrust mercilessly into her.

“That’s it. Harder!”

Haylie grabbed his shoulders and neck, pulling their bodies closer. Her fingers dug into his flesh, providing him with an intense mixture of pleasure and pain. She thrust up meeting his every advance. “Yes, harder!”

His hands moved underneath her thighs to cup her naked ass. Her breathing was ragged and he knew she was close to another orgasm. He pulled away to gain access to her. He wet his thumb with his mouth, reached down and rubbed her clit.

“Ah, shit,” she moaned, her head falling back.

He felt her inner muscles clutching his shaft. Close, he was so close. Moments before he came, Kamran watched as an orgasm ripped through her body. Her face contorted with intense concentration, flushed with all-consuming pleasure. She held her breath for an instant before screaming out his name. Her cunt went wild, vibrating around his cock. It was too much. He thrust one final time hard against her and cried 39

out his own pleasure. He felt the rush of his seed pour out of him, filling her deep inside.

They remained locked together. The only sound in the room was the steady hum of the recycled air and their panting. Their bodies made a sucking noise as he pulled back.

Kamran brushed a strand of her hair from her face and smiled. “Hello.”

“Hi.” Her voice was husky.

He hesitated before taking a deep breath to speak. This was going to sound strange.

“Your name wouldn’t happen to be Haylie, would it?”

The laugh bubbled out of her and Kamran wondered if the excitement of the past minutes was too much for her.

“I’m sorry. It’s just, I have been thinking about you all day. I find you almost dying out in the hall, we have the best sex of my life and you don’t even know who I am.”

Haylie managed to get the words out in between gasps and laughs.

“Yes, it is strange how my people mate. But nonetheless, I want to make sure?”

She instantly sobered and fixed him with a look that would have impressed Taber.

“Yes, I’m Haylie. And I think I have to put you under arrest for public indecency.”

“I hope that’s not necessary.” Kamran couldn’t tell if she was serious or not.

Haylie laughed again and placed a kiss on his cheek. “I see we need to work on your sense of humor.”

He gathered her into his arms and sank to the floor. This was paradise. Years of loneliness, of being separate in status from the rest of his family, were over. He had Haylie.

She snuggled in tighter and ran her fingers over his chest. Just as her wriggling threatened to stir his arousal again, she stopped.

“Are you okay?” she asked, with her head resting against his shoulder.

“Pardon?”

“Are you okay? Fifteen minutes ago, you were gasping for air in the hallway,” she said, leaning back to give him a once-over.

“I assure you I’m quite well.” He bucked his hips up to press his cock against her.

She gasped in surprise, but that didn’t stop her from grinding against him.
A human
blush is quite charming.

“That didn’t take long,” she said, her face reddening more.

“The Briel libido is very…healthy. You embarrass easily for a security chief.”

“I certainly do not.” Her blush deepened. “I think you should go see the doctor, just in case.”

“Because I want to take you again right now on the floor?” He couldn’t help but tease her.

Haylie rolled her eyes. “No, because you were choking to death.”

“Perhaps. But not now.”

She turned her head to look at him. “Wait a minute, you knew I was the security chief. I thought you said you didn’t know who I was.”

“Taber. He told me he met Haylie, the new security chief. You are the only Haylie I am aware of on this station.”

“Ah.” She rested her warm cheek against his chest once more, hiding her face from his sight. “So why were you choking back there? Was there something in the air? And for that matter, why are you even here? Not that you can’t be here, but it seems rather odd that—”

“Haylie, stop, stop. It has been a while since I’ve had to endure an interrogation.”

He laughed again. The euphoria was addicting.

41

“Sorry.”

“I was looking for you. I couldn’t get you out of my mind.”

“Really?”

She pulled up again and kissed him lightly. Her tongue traced a path along the edges of his mouth. He groaned when she pulled back to suck on his bottom lip.

Goddess, he loved how that felt. The things she did to him were intoxicating. He shivered as a stab of pleasure raced through him once more.

“That was the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me.” She murmured the words against his mouth and sealed it with a final kiss.

“You have been speaking to the wrong people.”

Kamran stroked her neck, amazed at the softness of her skin. And her smell—the scent of intoxicated desire. He shifted his legs, causing Haylie to slide between them and onto the floor. The weight of her stomach against his groin was too much.

“I need you again.”

He started when he realized he wasn’t the one who spoke. It was Haylie. She moved on to her knees, leaned forward and kissed his chest. He thanked every deity he knew as her mouth slowly trailed kisses down his body to his shaft.

“Not so different from a human,” she said against his tip of his cock.

Her tongue circled his swollen head and Kamran tensed. This feeling was beyond anything in his experience. When she sucked his cock into her mouth, Kamran forgot to breathe all together. Her fingers wrapped around his shaft and began to mimic the up and down stroking motion of her mouth. She drew him deep into the back of her throat and moaned. The vibrations sent another surge of blood coursing through his cock, making it longer and wider than he thought possible.

Reaching out, he ran his fingers through her hair, letting the long strands spill over onto his naked stomach and thighs. Haylie flexed her fingers around his cock as she massaged up and down the length of him. The intense nature of her touch ripped a moan from him.

When she stopped suddenly, he opened his eyes to see what was wrong.

“Watch,” she said, her voice raspy.

She moved her face to the base of his shaft, paused for only a moment before running her tongue up the length of him. Every muscle in his body shook from the overpowering sensation.

“
Di machachta!”
he sighed, unable to tear his eyes away from her mouth and the wicked things she was doing with her tongue.

“Tasty,” she purred.

Again she repeated the motion, only this time she swirled her tongue around the swollen tip of his cock before sucking it briefly into her mouth and tracing a path down the other side of his shaft. On her third pass, he grabbed her head to stop her.

“I can’t…please…stop.”

“What happened to the infamous Briel libido?”

“Apparently we grow into it.” He smiled at her confused expression before adding,

“This is my first time with a woman.”

If he wasn’t so aroused, he would have found the look of shock on her face funny.

Slowly, Haylie pulled herself back up to his face, the length of her naked body pressed tight against his.

“So I am your first?”

“The only one.”

“Then I want to make this count.”

Kamran wanted to ask what she meant, but the question flew from his mind as she straddled his lap. Wetting her fingers in her mouth, she rubbed her saliva over the head of his cock as she positioned it at her entrance of her wet pussy. Haylie closed her eyes and smiled as she sank down onto his hard shaft. He could feel her muscles stretching to accommodate his width until they were joined completely.

All words between them were gone. The only thing that mattered was the movement of their bodies. She repeatedly thrust herself upon him, each movement driving him wild. In this position, he was able to capture one of her breasts in his mouth. He pulled her nipple gently with his teeth, running his tongue over the sensitive tip. Haylie moaned and pulled his head closer, preventing him from moving. An entire Ecada invasion force couldn’t pull him away at this moment. He could feel her pussy pulse around his shaft every time he flicked her nipple with his tongue.

Each time she sank down, she paused long enough to squeeze her muscles around his shaft. The sensation sent a jolt through him and pushed him closer to the edge each time she did it. But he wasn’t going alone. He sucked the tip of her breast harder, flicking the nipple over and over with his tongue. Haylie’s moans were loud in his ear, her panting causing his pulse to race.

Her motions grew frantic. He felt her climax approaching and desperately wanted to wait for her. He felt his own release threaten to explode and fought to keep from coming. Haylie tensed and screamed as her orgasm hit. One final thrust was all he managed before his own cries of pleasure joined hers.

Neither one of them moved. They sat on the floor clinging together, the sound of their panting and heartbeats the only thing audible. Haylie leaned in and gently kissed his neck.

Haylie looked up at him and grinned. “Oh wow. That was awesome.”

He smiled back. The human ability for understatement was amazing.

“We may want to consider getting dressed and returning to our quarters.” His gaze slipped to the door.

“Your place or mine?” She smiled and kissed the tip of his nose.

He knew she didn’t understand the complications their joining would have for them. And while he needed to tell her, the selfish part of him, the one he usually ignored, told him to keep quiet. Just for a bit longer.

“We can figure that out later. I’d hate to be…interrupted.”

Haylie pouted and Kamran immediately wanted to kiss her again.

“It didn’t look like there were too many people in this area.” But despite her protests, she slid from him and went in search of her clothing.

“Nonetheless, I’d rather not make love again on the floor.”

He watched as her blush moved from her face to the tops of her breasts. “Shit, I can’t believe I did this.”

“Mated with a Briel?”

“No, had sex on the floor in a public room. I’ll never be able to come in here again.”

“That may prove difficult. There are many functions that are held here and, as security chief, you’ll have to attend.”

Haylie pulled on her pants and tugged her shirt over her head. Kamran watched, fascinated, as she raked her hair into a knot on her head.

Shifting her hands to her hips in mock impatience, Haylie said, “Well, are you coming?”

A combination of lust and pride filled him as he admired her beauty. How was he going to keep his hands off her?

“I’m impressed. I keep hearing human males complain about the speed in which their women dress.”

“First off, I’m not most women.” Haylie grinned again. “And second, beauty cannot be rushed. In my case, I take practicality over primping.”

Kamran thought she looked absolutely gorgeous. Time to primp was unnecessary.

Getting himself dressed took a bit longer. Who knew a boot was aerodynamic enough to fly halfway across the room with a single toss? Finally, he stood beside her, ready to unlock the door.

“All set?”

“Of course, Ambassador,” she said and slipped her arm around his.

His gut clenched and he stiffened as he barely managed to contain his panic.

Humans would think nothing of such an act of affection. Especially after what they had done. To the Briel, it would be the same as declaring over the com system that he’d found his mate.

And he had. She simply didn’t know that part yet.

“What’s wrong?”

Haylie’s voice was calm, yet held an edge to it. Taber spoke much the same way when he was puzzled. Her face betrayed none of the emotion that he was sure she was feeling.

“For my people, contact between males and females in this manner indicates that they are bonded. You would call it married. I wouldn’t want to confuse those who might see us.”

She pulled her arm away almost a bit too quickly. “I’m sorry. I didn’t even think of that.”

“I didn’t mind. But you may not wish to marry a man you just met.”

Not wanting to see her response, Kamran opened the door and stepped out into the hallway. Why now? Everything he’d ever wanted was before him. A family of his own.

Someone to grow old with. A life beyond serving others.

What if she didn’t want the same things? He knew it wasn’t the same for the humans, their relationships tending to be more casual.

He tried to push those thoughts from his mind as Haylie dropped into step beside him.

“Tell me about yourself.” He kept his tone soft, not wanting to disturb the calm that had descended over them.

“Well, I’m from Earth originally, but I’ve spent most of my life on Luna. And, as you know, I arrived on the colony this afternoon.”

He saw that she’d laced her hands behind her back and walked half a step behind him. Kamran mentally cursed. He’d done that to her, caused her to distance herself from him. While he still wasn’t sure what to do about their situation he much preferred the close contact of earlier.

“Let’s see. My father passed away last year. He was a shuttle pilot on Luna where I was deputy security chief. “

“Thank you. But those are things I can learn by looking you up in one of your records. I want to know about the real you.”

That seemed to catch her off guard a bit, her lips turning into a slight pout.

“I’m thirty-one?”

“Haylie.”

By the goddess, he sounded like his father.

“What would you like to know?”

Kamran stopped and thought for a moment. “Tell me something that you haven’t told another being.”

She was about to answer as they turned the corner and walked into a crowd milling around one of the station’s bars. He would have to work on his timing. Paying attention to the world around him might also help. But that would prove more difficult as time went on and the two of them grew closer.

“What’s going on?” Haylie asked one of the men on the edge of the group.

She stepped between Kamran and the man and Kamran had to fight off a smile. It would figure she’d be like Taber. Security instincts.

“Bar fight. A real slugger ‘til security showed up.”

Kamran’s height allowed him to peer over the tops of the humans who had been displaced from the bar, their drinks still firmly in their hands. Security had the situation well under control, with the drunks being escorted toward the door.

“I think everything is fine,” Kamran said. When she didn’t move, he leaned in and whispered in her ear, “You’re not on duty yet, Chief.”

That got her moving.

Only once they had cleared the group did she speak. “Is that common here?”

“Not normally. Though Taber mentioned that there have been greater occurrences of fights in recent weeks.”

Haylie frowned. “I wonder why.”

“I’m sure that’s one of the reasons the administrator is anxious to have you on board. He needs someone who can monitor these situations. I’ve been telling him for months that his talents are better spent elsewhere.”
