Pulling
her into his arms, he kissed her again. This time, though, his hands were on
the move, working at loosening her outfit so that when he drew back, it slid
down her body to pool at her feet. “I have a whole new appreciation for
Craegin
fashions. It’s so easy to get my woman naked.”
“Agreed.
I keep wearing the
clothing backward, though.” She wasn’t wearing the body suit anymore, but she
was keeping her scars covered. She would show Bracken, but he loved all of her
and wouldn’t stare at her like others would.
“Oh, my.”
She whimpered when he ran his hands over her body once again. “Love having you
touching me.”
“We
should visit one of the designers while we’re here.” He brushed his lips down
her throat and nipped at her skin. “Get you some outfits designed just for you,
so that you don’t have to keep being so creative. Though I will admit you’ve
had some pure genius with what you’ve had to work with so far.”
She
tilted her head to the side and shivered. “A girl works with what she has at
hand.” She begged with a whimper of a sound, “Please, do that again?” His teeth
scraped over her lightly shoulder, sending a shiver of pain and pleasure
through her.
He
gave her exactly what she wanted, biting down a little harder, and a little
longer, before sliding his tongue over the ache. His hands slid slowly down her
back and she arched into the caress until he cupped her ass. Then she was being
tossed through the air to bounce on the bed. He shot her a grin when she
finally got herself righted.
Sadie
just looked up at Bracken and laughed. Then when he got a predatory look on his
face and approached her she got wet. God she loved it when he looked at her
like that. “Please.” She reached for him, needed him. She loved the way it felt
to have him looking at her like that.
He
paused to quickly shed his clothing before climbing up on the bed. Dipping his
head, he flicked his tongue over one of her nipples. Then he kissed her as he
settled his weight over her. “By the stars, I don’t think I’ll ever get enough
of you, Sadie.”
“That’s
a very good thing, Bracken, because I know I will never get enough of you.” She
reached out to pull him closer. He nipped at her lip,
then
took her mouth in a deep kiss. Sliding his tongue over hers, he suddenly rolled
them so she was on top. His hands landed on her ass and squeezed as he broke
the kiss to look up at her.
She
shifted, rubbing her body against his. “Tell me what you need.” She knew what
she needed. She wanted to have him inside of her, wanted to ride him as they
were right now but she needed to know that was what he wanted first.
“You
can do whatever you want,” he told her. Stunned, she stared at him. “Come on, Sadie.
You can’t tell me you haven’t wanted to have a chance to run the show. This is
your opportunity to do whatever you want, to your heart’s desire.” He slid his
fingers up her ribs,
then
lifted his hands over his
head to slip them under the headboard.
That
shocked her.
Completely.
She looked down at him and
nodded, then shifted to press a kiss to the center of Bracken’s chest. “I loved
this the last time we did it.” She watched him as he clenched the headboard and
smiled. Shifting slightly, she brushed her lips and tongue over the hard ridge
of his cock. When Bracken gasped she looked up at him and gave him a wink. This
was different than last time. This time she didn’t have a butt plug in. This
time she was in control and he wasn’t touching her. This was all about him,
just as it should be. She moved up and down on his cock, her tongue swirling
around the head and sliding down the heavy vein on the underside of his dick.
She was enjoying herself, tremendously.
A
low growl reached her as she heard a creaking sound. Taking a peek at him, she
saw he had his back arched, and his arms were straining. “By the stars, Sadie,”
he gasped out. “I’m not entirely sure I want to know where you learned to do
that.”
“I’ve
always wanted to taste you,” she admitted and once more closed her mouth over
his cock and began to suck a bit harder. She let her tongue rub over the head.
Then she began to really suck and lick him.
What
came out of his mouth next wasn’t exactly coherent. He pressed his legs apart
slightly and began to rock his hips up to meet her mouth. “More,” he growled.
She
couldn’t refuse him anything. She nodded and sucked him harder, licking and
nipping at his cock as she did so. She refused to let him go without getting
the satisfaction that he gave her every single time.
A
feral sound came from him as the creaking of the headboard got a little louder.
“Sadie, I’m going to come,” he said in warning. He was trying not to rock his
hips, she could tell from the way he was jerking to a stop, then pressing his
ass to the bed only to seemingly forget a moment later and lift once more.
“Then
please, give in and let go. You aren’t going to hurt me, Bracken. Give in. Give
me everything you know you want to. Please.” She put her mouth back on his dick
and sucked hard, making sure that he enjoyed every single moment just as she
was.
A
low hiss of air escaped him, followed up with a moan of pure need. He must have
taken her at her word because he began to rock his hips to meet her mouth
again, not holding back in the least. A few minutes later he let out a yell and
froze, spilling his seed over her tongue and down her throat.
She
didn’t release his cock. She drank down every single drop that he spilled
inside of her mouth and finally pulled back with a satisfied smile on her face.
Licking her lips, she watched him. “That was amazing. Thank you for letting me
have
that moment.”
Giving
a grunt, he let out a shaky breath and proceeded to slowly pry his hands from
the headboard. “By the stars,” he muttered after collapsing on the bed. His
chest rose and fell rapidly as he sucked in air.
“May have to
let you do that again one day soon.”
She
moved so that she was at his side. Curled into him, she let out a sigh and
smiled.
“Good, because I will want to do that again.
Maybe next time, though, I’ll help distract you by letting you lick and touch
my pussy while I’m doing that to your cock?” She was hopeful, at least. It
should be possible, if done right, that was.
“I
like that plan.
A lot.”
Rolling suddenly, he wrapped
her in his arms and pulled her in closer to him. “You look rather pleased with
yourself, Doctor
Kauller
.
Any
particular reason for that massive smile on your face?”
“You
mean other than the fact that I have you here with me and I was able to make
you come like I did?” She loved, it actually. “I’m happy you gave me that
freedom. Thank you for that.”
“Yes,
other than that,” he said. “You are welcome, Sadie. I’m sure the opportunity
will arise again soon enough where you can have some control.”
“I
liked it. But…” She shifted so she could look down at him, her arms braced on
his chest. “I prefer having you take control. Yes, I enjoyed giving you that
pleasure but I honestly love it when you make sure we are both fully satisfied
with your touches and caresses. All of it.”
“You
are so submissive, something I adore about you.” Lifting a hand, he ran a
finger along her collarbone. “I think we should get you a collar, if you like
the idea. I wouldn’t want anyone getting any ideas about making off with my
woman, and that would definitely ensure the chances are slimmed down.”
She
had to smile about that and nodded. She thought about it for a moment,
then
pulled back. “Wait, the general put a collar on his
wife, didn’t
he
?” She had seen it and was surprised.
“But yes, if you wanted to put one on me I would accept it.”
“He
did. It’s an older custom and not always practiced anymore. But I like the idea
of having a piece that is all us wrapped around your throat to let others know
I’m never letting you go. I’ll have to think on the design, though. Take into
consideration the fact it can’t rub over the scars in any way. I don’t want it
to irritate your skin.”
She
hadn’t even thought about the scars, not with thinking about him doing that to
her. “I would enjoy having that around my neck. You have all of me, my heart,
my soul and every single part of me. I love the fact that you’re able to see
all of me and still love me.”
“Little
one,” he said softly. Cupping her cheek, he leaned in to kiss her. “The scars
are not who you are. They are a part of you, a part of your past, and a part of
how you came to be as strong as you are. But they do not define you. Besides,
all I see when I look at you is the woman I love, who holds my heart and can
make me catch my breath with only a look.”
Warmth
flowed through her as she sighed and moved against him. “I’m such a lucky woman
to have you as mine,” she whispered to him and rubbed her cheek to his.
“To know that you love me as much as I do you.
It’s a
humbling and marvelous feeling, one I want to keep for all time. That’s why I
would accept a collar from you, because you make me whole just as I do you.”
Smiling,
he leaned closer to kiss her lips. After a moment he drew back and flopped to
his back on the bedding. “I think we should inquire about room service so we
don’t need to get dressed, and watch the sunset while we eat. Then I think it’s
your turn for some loving, my sweet Sadie.”
“You
have the absolute best of ideas,” Sadie told him with a grin and pulled back.
“Completely naked, you said?”
“Absolutely naked.
But we should
probably throw a robe on while the server delivers our meal.”
She
went to the vid and began to select the things she wanted for their meal.
Looking over her shoulder from time to time, she asked him what he wanted to
add to their meal. The menu was easy to read and even the smallest of children
could work the functionality of the ordering process. She turned to him before
submitting and asked what else he wanted.
“Don’t
forget to request something to drink,” he told her. “They have full-sized
bottles, unlike the cooler in the room. Get several so we don’t have to go
downstairs at any point in the next couple days.”
“Sounds good.”
She just grinned at
the
uber
hot look he gave her.
“Mercy.
Right, lots of drinks so that we both stay hydrated.” When she finished making
their orders she walked to where Bracken was standing. “Hey, what are you
thinking so hard about?”
He
blinked at her, looking confused for a moment before he seemed to come back to
the moment. “Sorry,” he said. Pulling her into his arms, he wrapped her up
close and pressed his lips to her temple. “I’ve been working out this whole
situation in my head. Unfortunately the more I think about it the more I come
to realize we’ve been getting pulled around and pushed around for years. It all
started the moment you realized we were bond mates. Whoever you told then
spread the word, and from there they began to yank us about.”
She
frowned. “The only ones that knew were my mother, your mother and your oldest
three sisters. Your youngest sister wasn’t old enough for discussions like
that.” Now that she thought about it, his oldest sister and their mothers had
been the first ones that had fits time and again when she even thought about
him.
“I’m
glad she wasn’t old enough to be poisoned by their filth. That reminds me, we
should pull up a listing of properties available for purchase in the city. Find
a place that works for us and works for getting to the port in under the
required thirty minutes. I also want something that Cecilia will like, in an
area that’s safe for her to be in and that might appeal to her. If we get a few
options that fit the criteria we can go over it with her when we discuss the
possibility of her moving out of that house and in with us. Not that I think
she’ll particularly appreciate her big brother watching over her.”
“We
also need to meet with the young man she has her sights on. I think, I might be
wrong, but I think he’s also in the service of the
Craegin
Nation and is currently on a destroyer or ship somewhere? As I said, I might be
wrong.” Just some of the things the girl had said made Sadie think that.
Bracken nodded. “If he’s the one that I’m
thinking of he’s a good man, one that I trust with my life, one that I would
trust with your life.” That was the highest praise he could give anyone and she
knew it. “We just need to make sure she realizes
it’s
okay for her to love him, that it’s okay for him to love her.”
“The
last time I spoke with her, she was very careful not to say too much about him.
But Cecilia has a great head on her shoulders, and I’m hopeful that whoever it
is understands what a treasure she is.”
“Odd,”
he muttered. “She likely didn’t want to say in case one of the other sisters
overheard her and then reported back to Mother. That woman would not be pleased
to learn even one of her daughters was going to marry a man still in the
service.
Especially if he didn’t have a very large credit
account.”
