Pleasure Cruise (20 page)

Braden’s body burst as her clenching muscles spasmed against his length. His seed gushed into her and she knew he’d be left drained and weak. Letting her go, he kissed her neck gently. Kira’s body slid from his as he turned the vibrator off, tossing it aside. Braden eased down next to her on the bed and wrapped his arm around her tightly, protectively pulling her into his body for a long time. Kira lay on her stomach, unable to move. Opening her mouth, her lips worked as she tried to speak but only a low whimper came out.

“
Mm
, we’re not done yet.” He groaned, pushing up from her embrace. Kira shivered as he stumbled to the bathroom. Water started in the shower. Coming back to the bed, he lifted her up.

Her arms wrapped around him as he carried her to the shower. He set her down, letting water pelt their skin. Taking soap, he lathered it up and began to heat her anew. She couldn’t believe how fast she’d fallen in love with him. It was as if she’d loved him, or the idea of him, her entire life and now he had finally found her.

Braden smiled and she knew he didn’t need to hear her words. She could feel his emotions as if they were her own. Quietly, he said, “Yes, darling, I know. I love you, too. We are forever. You are my wife and I shall never let you go.”

“You don’t have to carry me. I’m all right to walk.” Clare held onto Dominik’s neck as he brought her to the cabin door.

“No. I’m not letting you out of my sight ever again.” Dominik’s growl was possessive. Her shopping bags were in his hand, bouncing along his leg. One of his hands left her only long enough to turn the knob.

A scream sounded from Kira’s room and Clare felt her cheeks heating with a blush. She giggled, but said seriously, “I think you mean this week. After the cruise, we’ll be going our separate ways.”

Dominik frowned. “Why would I leave you? I told you,
ZAychik mov,
you belong only to me now. You are mine.”

Clare shivered, looking deep into his dark eyes. “When you say it like that, it sounds like forever.”

Dominik’s brows rose in question. “Of course I mean forever. You are my wife, we are mated. And, as soon as you bear my child, you will become like me. The Elders have chosen it. You are my fate and I yours.”

“Are you saying that I will be a lycan?” Clare studied him carefully. His arms didn’t let her go.

Again Kira’s cries of pleasure sounded from the other room. Clare shivered, growing excited by the sound. A slow grin came to Dominik’s lips, as if he could smell her longing.

“Yes, you will be lycan. Does this news upset you?”

Clare thought about it. It didn’t upset her at all. It felt right. It felt like her destiny. “No. And you say we’re married and that we’ll have a family together?”

“Yes,” he answered, swooping down to kiss her lightly. He kicked off his shoes as he walked. “Even now my child grows in you.”

“But I thought you said you’d had your immunization shots? How can I be pregnant?” Clare felt pleasure trying to curl inside her. The lycan way of just going for what you wanted was going to take some getting used to.

“I said we have no need to worry. When you accepted me into your heart, we connected completely. I felt the moment you let me in. We are one,
ZAychik mov
.”

“
ZAychik mov
?”

“My little bunny.” Dominik smiled.

“Don’t wolves eat bunnies?” she giggled, liking the pet name.

“Ah, that we do,” he growled. His eyes lit with meaning. “And I will enjoy feasting on you every night for the rest of forever. We are forever.”

“Yes,” she said softly, giving him a light kiss. There was no point in denying it. Her head was slowly catching up to what her body had known all along. Their lips joined and her heart felt as if it would explode from the sudden fullness inside her. She was overwhelmed with emotions, emotions she couldn’t even begin to fight. Her body hummed. She didn’t want to fight her feelings. Dominik was everything she’d ever wanted, everything she dreamt about but was too afraid to ask for. She felt him as she felt her own soul. He was a part of her. In a whisper, she said to his lips, “I love you.”

“I know. And I have loved you since the moment I saw you in the park. It was so hard not to go to you then. But I knew I had to wait, as did Braden. For only on this ship could the Elders grant you eternity.”

“Then Kira…”

“Yes, when her baby is born she will become like Braden. She will be a vampire.”

“Then she’ll never be able to have any more children?” It was funny how the very thought of Kira being a mother had seemed absurd to her, but now she was concerned that her friend would only be able to have one child.

“No,” Dominik said softly. “They will be able to have as many children as they choose to have. It is just that the conversion process could harm the child that already grows within her womb. Once the conversion is complete, she will still be able to bear many children, as will you.”

Clare continued to kiss him, loving his taste, his feel. He was the other half of her soul. “Where are we going?”

Dominik grinned. Sheepishly, he said, “The shower. I can’t get your little show out of my head. Only this time, I’m going to join you.”

Clare didn’t even blush at the bold admission. Dominik set her down and moved to turn on the water. When he looked back at her, she was completely naked. She stood proudly before him. She pressed him back into the stall, wetting his clothes against his body.

“I believe you said I could suck on this later,” she growled assertively. She felt a change inside her, an aggressive need, and wondered if already the lycan she would become was starting to show within her emotions. She felt empowered, bold. She grabbed his long, hard cock and massaged it through the wet leather of his pants. “It’s later.”

Dominik growled as she sank to her knees. The shower pounded her skin, flowing over her budding nipples, hitting her back and hair. She tugged the wet leather from his hips, freeing his large cock. Clare gasped, growing moist by just looking at his wet length. Dominik threw the shirt from his shoulders before kicking out of the pants. Clare picked his pants up and tossed them out of the stall. She reached behind her and pulled the door closed.

She rubbed her hands over his thighs. Her mouth opened. Gripping him, she took his hard length aggressively into her mouth. She hungered for the feel of him inside her. She sucked him, hard and strong, drinking the water from his rigid shaft as she played with his heavy balls. Dominik grabbed her hair, thrusting against her throat as he fucked her mouth. She tried to relax against him but his size was too much to take in.

His body tensed beneath her fingers. She relished his strength and her control over his very being. He gripped her shoulders and, with a growl, he pulled her off him.

Dominik’s eyes glittered with golden promise as he forced her against the stall wall. His hair lay flat against his head. Water rolled over his face. Hungrily, he leaned in to kiss her. His dipped his finger to rub along her swollen, aching clit. Clare moaned, parting her legs to urge him inside.

There was no need for words. A deeper understanding passed between them until they knew what the other wanted, needed. Dominik lifted her up. She held onto him as he thrust his cock hard inside her wet pussy. She gasped as he filled her, stretching her body around his.

When she relaxed from the initial penetration of his fullness, he began to move, stroking within her hard and deep. Their heavy breaths mingled. He found her breasts with his lips, biting lightly at the nipples until she screamed his name. He pumped his hips, rocking them hard against her, burying himself to the hilt. As he felt her tight passage gripping him, he thrust faster, making her ride the brink of her hard, jerking orgasm.

Her muscles racked and clenched his shaft. It was too much. He exploded inside her, rocking back and forth in the flowing cream of her body as he met with full release. His seed washed inside her, marking her forever as his. And when the trembling stopped, he still held her to him, keeping himself deep inside her.

“I love you,” Clare said softly, weak and so in love.

“And I you,
ZAychik mov
,” Dominik answered, kissing her deeply. “And now we truly are forever. We owe the powers that be much for our happiness, for bringing us to this ship. Let us pray that others find their way together as we have.”

Re: Pleasure Cruise, Cruise Line Corporation, Pilot Program Success

TOP SECRET

Due to the overwhelming success of our pilot program we are hereby announcing that plans for our next couples are underway. I know I, for one, am pleased to see no one was mauled or drained of their blood with our test couples. Always a real concern when dealing with sex-starved, temperamental, supernatural alpha males.

The next candidates for mating have been selected. The seers tell us the couples are perfectly matched, though we will be honest and state we have our reservations. We’re asking several of you to please book early for the next Pleasure Cruise if you want a firsthand viewing of the mating process. Humans are such strange creatures and since they seem to favor putting animals in controlled settings for all to see—zoos—we feel it entirely appropriate to gift a select number of you front row seats to their potential courting. As always, do not feed them, do not touch them and do not tap on the glass. Their males will attack and I grow tired of filling out incident reports on matters that could be easily prevented. Space is limited so get your
