Caught by Menace (11 page)

His cock popped free from her mouth. She stroked

his length with one hand and used the other to push his

thighs wider apart. When her tongue touched his bals, he

gasped. She licked al around his sensitive sac and

sucked on the plump flesh. Every tug of her mouth sent

his need skyrocketing.

“Naya!” He wished he could sift his fingers through

her dark, silky hair. Instead he lifted his hips in silent

urging. She laughed and continued to tease him with her

tongue and fingers.

The moment she puled his cock back into her mouth,

he exhaled roughly. Lifting his hips again, he carefuly

thrust into her wiling mouth. He was much too big for her

to take completely but she gave it her best try. The

crown of his cock nudged the back of her throat. The

quick flash of tightening as he pinged her gag reflex left

his bals aching and his cock throbbing. Primitive as it

was, he couldn’t deny his response to her slight gag.

She didn’t abandon his cock. Using her fingers to

control the depth of his oral penetration, Naya kept her

mouth on him. He fought to breathe normaly and

wondered how much longer he could flirt with danger.

Every stroke of her tongue pushed him closer and closer

Every stroke of her tongue pushed him closer and closer

to the edge. As much as he wanted to spil in her mouth,

he wanted to come deep inside her, marking her as his

much, much more.

“No more,” he said finaly and let his hips fal back to

the couch. Naya continued to lick him lightly and suck

the head of his cock gently. “Naya,” he said with a moan.

“I want to come inside you.”

Her gaze jumped to his. “You could get me pregnant.”

Cold crept into his chest. “Yes.”

“Is that how this works? You seduce me, get me

pregnant and then I can’t leave?”

The frustration lacing her voice began to deflate his

lust. “Are we going to argue about this now?”

She sat back on her heels. “I don’t see how we can

avoid the conversation.”

“Naya, the Grabs exist so soldiers who have earned

enough points through skil and bravery can build

families.”

“But so quickly? We hardly know one another!”

He couldn’t argue against that fact. She hugged herself

and a slight shiver of panic stabbed his bely. She was

puling away from him emotionaly. Al the trust he’d built

puling away from him emotionaly. Al the trust he’d built

with her was threatening to shatter. “What can I do to

make this easier for you?”

“Give me time, Menace.” She caressed his naked

thigh. After a moment, she finaly spoke. “I’m wiling to

give this thing between us a try, but I can’t risk making a

child with a man I hardly know. That’s not right,

Menace. I know what it’s like to be unwanted.”

His eyes widened. “No child of mine would ever be

unwanted.”

The look in her eyes told him she wanted to believe

him. “You say that now, but I’ve seen what resentment

does to a kid. Being told that you’re the reason someone

was trapped isn’t a good feeling. I lived it for years. I

won’t—I can’t—do that to my child.”

It was obvious someone had hurt her deeply. Her

mother? Her father? Both? “You would never resent

your child.” He believed that with every fiber of his being.

“Neither wil I.”

“Menace…”

“I won’t come inside you. I’l pul out.” He bargained

with the only chip he had. “If I could go down to the

infirmary and get birth control for you, I would, Naya.”

“Why can’t you? I thought your society was al about

“Why can’t you? I thought your society was al about

technological and medical advances.”

“We have population issues. The war has lowered our

birthrate dramaticaly. A couple can only gain access to

birth control after the birth of one child or the

presentation of medical issues in the female. Very rarely

they’l grant waivers for other reasons. I’m wiling to put

in the paperwork, but it could be months.”

“Months?”

He nodded and tensed his jaw. It kiled him to offer,

but he refused to force her into a situation she didn’t

want. “If you would prefer, we can abstain from

intercourse until I get an answer on a petition.”

She tilted her head. “You’re serious?“

“I am.”

With a little sigh, she said, “There are other ways.”

He frowned. “Other ways?”

She nodded. “I was taught to chart my cycle by a

midwife in Connor’s Run.”

“Chart your cycle?” He had no idea what that meant.

“You keep track of certain signs and your temperature

so you can anticipate your fertile window and avoid sex

during that risky period.”

during that risky period.”

“And it works?” It seemed too simple to be true.

“Beautifuly,” she said with a slight smile. “There’s a

reason Connor’s Run and some of the wealthier sections

of The City have such low birthrates. When you use

charting with a sponge soaked in certain solutions, you

have an almost foolproof recipe for family planning.”

He jumped on this new bit of information. “I have a

thermometer in my med kit.”

She laughed and rubbed his stomach. “You only

check your temperature in the morning.”

“Oh.”

“But we’re safe tonight.”

“You’re sure?” He didn’t want her to feel pressured

tonight. The mistrust and resentment that would breed

could kil their fledgling relationship.

She drew a lazy design on his leg. “My cycle is just a

few days old. I typicaly have ten to twelve days in the

first half of my cycle where I’m safe, five to six when it’s

risky and then fifteen to eighteen days before my period

begins. But,” her gaze skipped to his face, “nature isn’t

foolproof.”

She couldn’t have uttered a truer statement. “The

She couldn’t have uttered a truer statement. “The

choice is yours, Naya. I’l respect whatever decision you

make.”

She didn’t say anything. Instead she slid back down

between his thighs and stroked his cock. Their serious

discussion had put quite a damper on his lust. With her

supple lips and nimble fingers, Naya coaxed his erection

back to life. He let his eyelids drift together as he enjoyed

the wonderful feelings caused by
his
woman.

When she released his erection from her mouth, his

eyes popped open. His breath arrested in his throat as

she climbed up his body and straddled his thighs.

Wordlessly she held his gaze and rose up on her knees.

Naya reached down between their bodies and grasped

his cock. She teased his ruddy, weeping crown through

her slick folds. His pre-cum mixed with the shiny nectar

seeping from her core. Without saying a word, she’d

declared her decision to risk everything with him.

“Release my hands,” he ordered, his voice husky with

emotion. “I need to touch you. I have to feel you.”

Her smoky gaze softened. With his hard shaft trapped

between her thighs, she leaned forward and jerked free

his bonds. Wrists free, he slid one arm around her waist

and tangled the fingers of his other hand in her hair.

and tangled the fingers of his other hand in her hair.

Menace puled her sweet mouth down for a kiss. He put

every last ounce of emotion he could muster into that

kiss. He needed her to know how precious he

considered her gift of trust.

Breathing heavily, Naya sat back and moved into a

better position. She lifted her ass and clasped the base of

his cock. He didn’t dare move a muscle as she aligned

their bodies. Biting her plump lower lip, Naya pressed

down on his shaft. He groaned when he finaly breached

her wet pussy.

“Oh!” Her eyes widened but she didn’t pul away from

him. “You’re too big.”

“I’m not,” he assured her, his voice filed with

desperation. Sweeping a hand down her back, he

whispered, “You can take me.”

“I can’t.” Even as she spoke her denial, Naya braced

herself with a hand on his chest and pushed down on his

cock. Like him, she seemed aflame with the need to be

joined so intimately.

“Easy, sweetheart,” he murmured and kissed her

mouth. “Take it slow.”

Her slick honey coated his shaft. She’d inched down

Her slick honey coated his shaft. She’d inched down

on his erection and then retreated until just the tip of him

remained buried in her snug pussy. He’d never felt

anything so perfectly tight and wet. In that moment he

thought he might actualy die from pleasure.

“Ride me, Naya.” He gripped her waist, puled her

forward and then pushed her back.

“Menace!” She moaned loudly and placed both hands

on his chest. Her lips parted on a long sigh as she

folowed his urging and rode him. Her lush breasts

bounced with each swaying snap of her hips. Unable to

help himself, Menace latched on to her nipple and tugged

hard. She cried out and clawed at his chest, her short

nails digging into his skin. He just laughed and sucked

harder.

When her head fel back, he knew she was close. He

could feel her slick passage gripping his cock. Wanting

her to shatter with ecstasy, Menace licked his thumb and

found her clit with the rough pad. She groaned and

shuddered. “Please…”

He wanted to tel her that anything she wanted was

hers, that al she ever needed to do was ask and he’d do

everything in his power to make it happen. Instead of

teling her, he showed her. With a few quick flicks of his

teling her, he showed her. With a few quick flicks of his

thumb, he sent her over the edge. She shouted his name

again and again while her pussy fluttered around his shaft.

The last spasms of her orgasm rhythmicaly gripped

him. Menace held tight to her waist and planted the soles

of his feet against the couch’s firm surface. Knees bent

against her backside, he pounded into her from below.

The wel-trained muscles of his abdomen and thighs

flexed as he jackhammered her tight pussy.

“Menace! Oh! Oh!
Ooohhh!
” She came again, her

shocked cry music to his ears. “Menace!”

There was no holding back now. He slammed bals-

deep in her welcoming pussy and growled. “Naya!”

He shook with each burst of semen that left his body.

His head ached from the sheer force of his climax. The

muscles of his torso and legs burned from exertion but he

didn’t care. He’d claimed Naya now. He’d marked her

as his own and made her his wife and mate.

Cradling her to his chest, Menace pressed a tender

kiss to the crown of her head. Like him, she panted for

breath. Her cheek rested against his chest and her warm,

soft body felt so right curled up against him. Her silky,

fragrant hair tickled his mouth.

fragrant hair tickled his mouth.

Quite unexpectedly she laughed. The raucous, joyful

noise infected him and left him grinning from ear to ear.

“What in the world is so funny? Not my skils as a lover,

I hope.”

“Oh, no,” she assured him. “That was the best sex

I’ve ever had.”

“Then what has you giggling like a fool?”

“I guess I’m not so bad for a consolation prize, huh?”

Even though the words he’d jokingly spoken had

wounded her in the forest, he heard the teasing tone in

her voice now. “No,” he confirmed with a smile and

stroked her back. “Not bad at al.”

Naya stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror

and tried to get a hold of her wildly vacilating emotions.

She had gone from infuriated and frustrated with Menace

for snatching her away from her friend and her dreams of

a new life in the colonies to…wel…what?

Her feelings toward Menace were so tangled. She felt

comfortable enough to admit that she liked him. Maybe

more than liked him, but she didn’t dare dwel on that

issue. Menace had proven to be nothing like the

imaginary sky warriors who had terrified her since

childhood. No, he was sweet, kind and patient.

And trouble. Big, big trouble.

She’d known Menace for less than a day and already

she was starting to wonder if the key to her future

happiness was that shockingly huge, green-eyed, white-

haired alien waiting for her in the other room. He’d

offered her everything she’d always wanted—a home

and security. Al she had to do was try to make things

work between them. That’s al he’d asked.
