The Commander's Daughter (9 page)

Once he released her mouth, she smiled up at him before shoving him backwards onto the blanket. Liam allowed her this, falling back and pulling her with him.

Melody patted his chest lightly. “Much better and we’ll get back to that in a little while, but first we have to enjoy Mother Nature’s little show.”

“I do not understand your meaning,” Liam said softly.

“Just watch the sky,” Melody told him, snuggling her head to his shoulder as she lay against him looking up. She pointed up at the ribbon of the Milky Way and the vibrancy of the stars against the inky backdrop of the night sky. “Isn’t it beautiful? You can’t see the Milky Way in town, or even see the stars so well. The fireflies will be here soon.”

“Fireflies?” he asked curiously.

“Just keep watching,” she advised.

Soon little bright winking yellow lights filled the air directly above them; the yellow lights seemed to last only a second before blinking out of sight, then back on again. The little insects flew all around sharing their light with the world.

Liam was glad to have seen them, but neither the fireflies nor the bright stars could compare with the woman lying next to him.

“Spectacular, isn’t it?” Melody asked, watching the happy little bugs. She looked over at him as he leaned up on one arm and stared down at her.

“The most spectacular thing I’ve ever seen,” he said softly, stroking a finger down her cheek. Liam heard her breath catch in her throat as he leaned down and pressed his hungry mouth to hers.

Melody went boneless at the touch of his lips, opening to him like a flower opens to the sun. As he pressed down over her body, she immediately wrapped her long legs around his hips and rubbed her hot center against his hardness.

Liam groaned in response, shifting to press against her wet opening to test her readiness, then sinking in to the hilt with one firm thrust.

“Oh, Liam! Yes, take me hard!” she said with a soft primal cry, arching into his body.

Unable to resist her siren’s song, he took her hard and fast just as she asked. Melody met him stroke for stroke, taking everything he had and demanding more.

Liam was undone by the passion filling his little mate. To have it from her so soon was more than he’d hoped for.

Their primal rhythm brought them both to release quickly, each of them shouting their satisfaction to the night sky before collapsing back onto the blanket.

“Wow, that was amazing,” Melody said from her position snuggled to Liam’s side. “I hope we didn’t embarrass the fireflies too much.”

Liam snorted. “I’m sure they’ll survive.”

She grinned and sat up to look down his body, giving him a thorough study. Melody wanted to explore her mate, but wasn’t sure where to start. As she watched, his flaccid shaft began to grow once more to rather impressive proportions. It was rather intimidating to see, but the memory of how good it felt buried inside her quickly chased away her concerns.

“I want to taste you,” Melody informed him as she took his ever growing cock firmly in her hand, gently stroking it as she studied it.

He moaned in response, watching her. “I’m at your disposal.”

She grinned and moved between his knees, shifting her body until she’d wedged herself firmly between his thighs. Continuing to stroke his shaft from base to tip, Melody leaned forward and took the bulbous head between her lips. He tasted sweet and salty.

She suckled him, swirling her tongue around him much as she would her favorite lollipop, humming her approval of his tastes as she took him ever deeper with every bob of her head.

Melody opened her throat and swallowed him greedily down until he bumped the back of her throat, almost gagging her. Rising off of him, she took a deep breath before taking him in again as far as possible. She swallowed, tightening her throat deliberately around him as she withdrew, continuously pumping her fist around his base.

She pulled him out of her mouth with a loud popping sound, lapping delicately at the pre-cum escaping from the tip of his shaft.

Licking her lips as she continued stroking him up and down, Melody looked up at Liam; a dull flush rose in his cheeks as he watched her with heavy-lidded eyes.

“Ride me,” he commanded.

Melody rose over him, straddling his thighs and fitting him to her opening. Liam held her steady at her hips as she sank down on him.

She gasped at the feel of him as she sank down on his length; he filled her almost uncomfortably full in this position as her body stretched to accommodate him. He pressed up to meet her, guiding her hips until she took him balls deep.

“I’m so full,” she said, eyes wide as she wriggled experimentally on top of him. Every movement sent a dart of pleasure shooting through her where they were joined.

“Ride me now, little mate, take what you need.”

Liam’s hands on her hips helped her to find the rhythm as she rose up all the way then sank back down. As she began to get more confident in her movements, he began thrusting up to meet her until their bodies were slapping together in time with music only they could hear.

Soon Liam took control, holding her hips firmly in place as he powered up into her. Melody could only brace herself and answer his demanding thrust with cries of pleasure.

“Touch yourself,” he ordered her throatily.

Melody shivered in response to the dark command in his voice, cupping her breasts and pinching her nipples as they continued to move together.

“Rub your clit,” Liam said sternly.

When she hesitated, one of his hands clapped loudly off her bottom, making her back arch in response. “Now.”

Melody ran one hand down her belly and slid it into the slickness where their bodies continued to move together, gathering it on her fingers before moving them up to stroke her stiff little bud.

The feeling of his body slamming into hers as her own fingers rubbed her clit under his direction was indescribable.

“Liam… please… now…” Melody threw her head back in a scream of release when he suddenly lifted her up, then back down hard to meet his aggressive thrust bottoming out inside her. Once there he held her tightly against him, grinding into her as she convulsed around him.

The constant pressure sent her straight from one orgasm to another until she collapsed on his chest. Then her world spun as Liam pulled out and lifted her to her knees with her back to him. “Liam, what?”

He pressed her chest to the blanket and moved behind her, using his thighs to spread her legs again as he slammed back into her.

“Now it’s my turn, little mate,” he said as he began to take her in a pounding rhythm that took her breath.

Melody could only accept what he chose to give her as this position afforded her no movement. She was totally his to control. She reveled in it, crying out each and every time his pelvis slapped into her hips.

She came again and again as his body continued to ride her into a place beyond pleasure. Finally, Melody begged for mercy, sure her body couldn’t possibly accommodate anything more.

“Liam, I don’t think I can…” she offered softly.

“You can, little mate. You will,” Liam told her as two slick fingers thrust into her back hole while the thumb of his other hand rode her clit with circular motions.

He was right. She could. Melody screamed her release to the night twice more before he followed her and they fell onto the blanket in an exhausted tangle of arms and legs.

She sighed contentedly as he pressed little kisses into her hair and hugged her close.

“You please me well, little mate. You please me well.”

Perhaps mating wasn’t such a bad fate after all.

Chapter Nine

Melody arched her back and stretched, enjoying the feel of the warm morning sun bathing her naked body. They’d slept under the stars all night. She smiled as she remembered the way Liam made her body sing for him.

Glancing over to where Liam still slept sprawled on his back, Melody licked her lips as she studied his morning erection; it wasn’t nearly as imposing as it became at full attention, but was still noteworthy.

Rising to kneel over him, she ran a finger softly along his shaft, enjoying the way it twitched in response. Blowing lightly on it, Melody grew bolder when it jerked toward her as if asking for more attention and she caught it in her fist.

Liam bucked his hips and moaned, waking up just as she took his now fully erect cock between her lips.

“Melody,” he groaned, wrapping his fingers in her hair and guiding her to take him deep.

She pulled him out of her mouth to lap at the tender skin and veins running beneath the head of his cock before sucking him back inside and pressing down to take as much of him as possible into her throat. This was an activity Melody found she truly enjoyed; she enjoyed everything about it from his taste to the feel of him sliding down her throat.

He cried out in pleasure when she swallowed around him and hummed as she pulled back to suck hard on the head.

Liam grabbed her head more firmly when she would have pulled her mouth off him completely and thrust back down her throat. “Take me deep, little mate.”

Holding her head in place, Liam began to take her throat with short but firm strokes working toward his release.

The implicit demand in his hold, forcing her to take him deep and give him everything he wanted made her even wetter. Melody moaned around him, accepting everything and wanting more; she reached a hand between her thighs to stroke her own needy slit.

Liam stilled, pulling out of her mouth completely to grab her hands. “No, your pleasure belongs to me alone. You do not touch yourself unless I will it.”

She gasped as she felt herself flipped over his strong thighs and he delivered ten sharp spanks to her upturned posterior. Melody was still gasping when he lifted her to her knees and stood in front of her, giving her little warning before he thrust his still hard cock back into her mouth.

“Now you will finish what you started,” he said sternly.

Melody was so turned on by his domination, the pulse between her thighs throbbed to the point she knew just a little pressure would get her off.

Looking up at him, she opened her throat as much as possible as he continued to thrust in and out of her mouth, keeping her lips taut as she sucked greedily each time he drew out.

The need continued to build between her legs. Melody pressed her thighs together in an effort to get the pressure she needed to relieve her aching clit.

A hard spank landed on her bottom. “Spread your legs. If you continue to try to defy me, young lady, I will have to punish you.”

What would he do? A flood of heat filled her at the thought of sensual punishment. Melody’s thighs were getting slick with need.

One more hard thrust and he released down her throat. Melody greedily sucked and lapped up every drop of his essence.

As he closed his eyes, taking a breath, Melody slid her fingers back between her thighs and rubbed her clit hard, sending herself into a short hard orgasm just as he pulled out of her mouth.

“What did I tell you, young lady?” Liam asked sternly.

She flushed as she looked up into his stern countenance and shuddered in anticipation. “That you would punish me if I continued to defy you.”

“Go to our room and stand in the corner. I will be in shortly to deal with your defiance.”

Melody rose quickly to her feet and hurried into the house, hoping she hadn’t just made a mistake. She was also more aroused than she’d ever been in her life as she thought about Liam dealing with her disobedience. Melody was a little shocked to realize she wanted to submit to him completely, and she needed his dominance and his discipline with every fiber of her being.

And she was about to get it.

* * *

Liam watched as Melody hurried into the house, his gaze thoughtful. His little mate was a true submissive; she craved his punishment. It was unexpected but not really surprising since she was half Ramelian, and the women of his people were all as naturally submissive as the men were dominant. It would be his pleasure to give his sweet little mate everything she craved, everything she needed.

With a soft smile, he picked up the blanket they’d spent the night on and folded it. Melody had given him a beautiful gift last night. She’d given herself to him freely and completely without prompting. She’d accepted him as her mate.

It was a gift beyond measure, something he’d expected to take much longer to achieve. She’d resisted the mating so completely in the beginning, but her submissive nature needed his dominance. He had been blessed by the mate God had given him and he would love and cherish her always.

Liam smiled as he walked into the house, glad he’d packed some extra things in his bag for just such an occasion. He didn’t want to keep his eager little mate waiting.

Melody fidgeted nervously in the corner of the bedroom. She wanted this so badly, she’d disobeyed deliberately to earn this punishment, but now she was anxious. Would it be beyond what she could handle? What would he do to her?

She couldn’t help the slight flinch when Liam entered the room behind her and closed the door.

“Come here, Melody,” he said firmly.

Melody turned to find him standing there with his arms open wide to her and all the breath left her body as she realized everything would be okay. With a tremulous smile she ran into his arms.

Liam’s hard body enveloped hers and he swayed gently to and fro as he held her close. “I would never harm you, little one. You are precious to me, you don’t have to be afraid.”

She snuggled closer, knowing she was safer with this man, this warrior than anywhere else in the world. “I know. I just got scared for a minute.”

Setting her away from him, Liam caught her chin with a finger and tilted her face up to his, studying her intently. “Are you okay now?”

Melody smiled widely up at him. “Yes, sir.”
