RedeemingZorus (8 page)

“What do you want me to do?”

He frowned at her and his brown eyes seemed darker than
normal. “Bend your knees up. Tell me if it hurts.”

She ordered her racing heart to slow. He just wanted to make
sure she hadn’t broken anything.
It’s no big deal
.
He’s acting
similar to a medic, probably training he has been given, and I’m the only one
taking this as anything sexual.
She repeated that twice inside her head
before she followed his instructions to draw her legs upward and pulled her
heels closer to her ass.

“No pain but I think you’re right.”

“About what?” His attention seemed riveted on her thighs
again.

“The bruising. They feel a little tender.”

He made a soft noise.

“What was that?”

He lifted his gaze to her and his expression seemed really
tense. “Are you curious?”

“About what? If I’m bruised?”

He distinctively growled and anger flashed across his
handsome features. “No. I’m curious, and while I’m trying to ignore it, I no
longer wish to.”

“What are you talking about?”

His hands had released her when she’d repositioned her legs
but he gripped her gently again, this time to wrap them around the curve of her
knees. To her shock, he spread her thighs, parted her feet too, until it left
her wide open on the cot. He bent over her until his torso pinned one leg flat
to the mattress before he released that leg. One hand slid hers away from
covering her panties.

Charlie’s eyes widened as the heat from his palm registered
when he cupped her sex. He had a big hand that covered not only her pussy but
part of her lower stomach. Her gaze jerked to his to find him watching her with
a definite frown.

“I won’t hurt you.”

She lay paralyzed with astonishment, not even breathing.
When she sucked in air to her starved lungs, she gasped loudly. “What are you
doing?”

“What do you think?” His palm slowly slid upward and then
back to rub against her clit. “Are you attached to this garment?”

Her brain froze, leaving her unable to think while he rubbed
her again but this time the pad of his thumb slipped through the side of the
thin material to locate the small bud of nerves to massage it in tight, firm
circles. Shock transformed into pleasure.

“Answer me,” his gruff voice demanded.

She couldn’t look away from his dark gaze but she found her
voice again and the ability to move. She tried to move the leg he gripped but
his hold kept her still. The drugs had worked somewhat out of her system but
walking from her quarters to his had left her pretty weak.

“What are you doing?” She breathed the question softly.

“You saved my life and you said I should get on my knees to
show my gratitude. I’ve considered it and decided it’s a good way to repay
you.”

His thumb released her clit to grip the middle of her
panties. Material tore with the help of a firm tug. The sound registered to
Charlie at the same time air hit her now exposed pussy. She jerked but before
she could react in any other way, he tossed aside the damaged panties, and
turned his head back to lower it.

Her entire body tensed when his fingers spread her open and
a really hot, wet, strong tongue teased her clit. Charlie gasped in more air
and threw her head back. She frantically grabbed for anything just to clutch at
something. Her fingers dug into her bent thigh he had pinned and she ended up
with a handful of his silky hair.

Zorus had no mercy while he flicked his tongue against her
clit quickly, causing raw, nearly painful ecstasy to spread lightning quick
from it straight to her brain. Her eyes closed and her hips arched closer to
his talented mouth. Moans tore from her throat.

The climax slammed her hard and fast, bowing her body, and
shook her to the core of her soul. He didn’t ease up either, just continued to
torment her until she jerked violently. She heard someone begging and realized
the ragged voice belonged to her.

Zorus tore his mouth away and Charlie’s entire body went
limp. The mattress dipped and she realized her eyes were closed so she opened them
in time to watch Zorus crawl up her body. One of his hands planted near her
head to hold up his weight while he reached between them.

She couldn’t speak, wasn’t sure what to say, and her body
still twitched from how hard she’d come. She knew she should feel embarrassed
at how fast he’d gotten her off but the cyborg knew exactly how to tongue her
in a way to set off an explosive fireworks display inside her body.

His gaze fused with hers when he slowly lowered his body on
top of her. His weight pressed her down against the soft mattress but not
enough to crush. It dawned on her what was about to happen but she didn’t tell
him to stop. She wasn’t sure if she really wanted him but her nearly sated body
ached for more. She got it when the thick-tipped, hard crown of his cock nudged
against her soaked labia, parted them, and slowly pressed against the opening
of her pussy. Her hands rose to clutch at his shoulders when he pressed inside
her.

Charlie wrapped her legs around the back of his thighs,
accepting him when he eased deeper into her channel. Pleasure drew throaty
moans from her again and her hips tilted to accept him more easily. Zorus
groaned softly and his passion-filled eyes narrowed as she stared up at him in
wonder.

She knew with conviction, in that moment, that no one had
ever made her feel this good before and she had once been certain that Gerald
would always remain the best lover she’d ever had. She’d been wrong, she
admitted silently, when Zorus pulled back, nearly withdrew totally from her body,
and then smoothly entered her again, going deeper and stretching awake
wonderful nerve endings that sent rapture straight into her brain.

“Amazing,” he groaned, slowly thrusting in and out of her.

She agreed. Her knees bent more, her legs wrapped higher
around him until her calves locked over his round, firm ass. He sank into her
deeper and lowered even more until their bodies rubbed against each other in a
delicious teasing manner that had her panting and clawing at his shoulders
where her nails bit into skin. Her hips bucked under him to urge him on.

“Faster…please,” she pleaded.

Zorus groaned and nuzzled her face aside. His mouth brushed
her throat when she turned her face away to give him what he wanted. Teeth
raked the top of her shoulder, notched up her desire, and then his strong hips
hammered her fast and hard.

“Oh god,” she panted. “Yes!”

The pleasure built into a frenzy of driving need and then
Charlie screamed out as she came again, harder this time than the last, and
Zorus threw his head back to shout when he found his own release. Charlie’s
eyes flew open as hot heat flooded her inside. She could actually feel his
thick shaft pulse against her quivering vaginal walls when he came.

He collapsed, his face resting next to hers, but kept enough
weight braced with his elbows for her to still be able to draw air into her
lungs. The sound of their ragged breathing mingled and his hot breath tickled
the side of her throat, damp from his kisses and love bites. Charlie wrapped
her arms around his neck and secured her legs tightly around his waist to hold
him against her in case he tried to withdraw from her body. She didn’t want to
break their connection.
At least not yet
.

“Are you well?” The cyborg’s voice came out a little gruff.

“Yes.”

“You’re so small and fragile. I must be smothering you.”

“I’m good.” She hesitated a second and then opened her
mouth. She brushed a kiss on his throat, used a little tongue to taste him, but
stopped when he tensed suddenly. “What? I can’t kiss you?”

Zorus lifted his head and his dark gaze studied her. “You
want to kiss me?”

The stunned look on his features made her smile. “Don’t
cyborgs do that?”

“No. At least not in my experience.”

“Don’t you have sex? I mean, you’re really good at it.”

“I have sex regularly.”

That bit of information left an unhappy ball of misery
inside her gut. She didn’t like the idea of him with someone else though she
knew she had no right to feel jealous. He wasn’t hers, they weren’t in a
relationship, but the green monster remained.

“Oh.”

“I don’t kiss my sexual partners.”

“You kissed my neck.”

“I stimulated an erogenous zone to bring you to orgasm since
I couldn’t reach the others in this position.”

“It felt like a kiss to me.”

A dark eyebrow arched. “I’m not opposed if you want to kiss
me.”

She pulled her arms down and cupped his handsome face. “When
is the last time you actually kissed someone on the mouth?”

A slow frown curved his generous mouth. “Never.”

Flabbergasted, Charlie couldn’t form words.

“I refused to allow humans to kiss me during sex acts and
the female cyborgs have never asked me to do that when we arrange meetings.”

“Meetings?” She got that out, too astonished at his claim to
never have been kissed to really say much more.

“I’m not a member of a family unit. I’m sterile and as a
high ranking council member I’m not required to join one since it would be
pointless. I can’t donate to the gene pool of my race and the only benefit of
contracting with a female would be access to her body. If I have a need for
physical contact with one, there are plenty of them willing to exchange sexual
intercourse for favors my position allows me to give.”

Charlie tried to make sense of his words. “You can’t have
kids? Is that what you mean?”

“Affirmative. Since I was used for sex after I’d been
created they made it impossible for my body to impregnate any female after
discovering I had that capability. There is no reversing what has been done to
me.”

“And you only have sex with cyborg women who want you to do
them political favors?”

He frowned. “You are abnormally pale.”

“It sounds so cold,” she whispered, sadness filling her.
“And they don’t even kiss you?”

“There is no reason. It’s about mutual sexual gratification
without emotion attachment.”

Her hands caressed his jawline and cheeks. “Do you know how
to kiss?”

He hesitated. “I believe so.”

“Close your eyes.”

“Why?”

“I’m going to kiss you. Relax and just feel.”

Charlie lifted her head and closed her own eyes, not sure if
he did, and her mouth gently brushed against his. His lips were surprisingly
pliable, soft, and he allowed her to part them when she used her tongue to
tease the bottom one. She entered his mouth, totally in control of the kiss,
and on unsure ground since she’d never kissed someone who had never done it
before.

Inside her his cock stirred, fluttered, and noticeably
hardened. It urged her to get more aggressive. She swept his mouth, rasping her
tongue over his, and she turned her head a little to get more access. He
started to kiss her back, their tongues dancing together, merging and stroking.

Zorus groaned and started to move his hips, fucking her
slowly to match his movements with their kiss. Charlie moaned and her hands
slid down his throat, his chest, and moved around his waist, to rake her nails
down his spine. He drove into her hard and deep, breaking the seal of their
lips when they both cried out in pleasure.

It was Zorus who took possession of her mouth as soon as he
started to glide into her again and picked up the pace of their rocking joined
bodies. Charlie clung to him, kissing him with a desperation that drove their
passion higher until she tore away from him to avoid biting his tongue when
another climax tore through her. He cried out seconds later and came deep
inside her.

Chapter Five

Zorus woke first, surprised he’d fallen asleep. He’d
obviously rolled them over on the narrow bed at some point during the sleep
cycle since Charlie’s body draped his with him under her. Her weight resting
over his chest and hips didn’t unsettle him as much as the instant memories of
what they’d done together.

He lifted his hand from the small of her back and touched
his lips, reliving the kisses they’d shared. They felt a little swollen to him
but in a way that made him want to smile. He flexed his other hand only to
realize he held soft flesh in his palm. He eased his hold on her ass. Charlie
mumbled something against his chest. Her head rested there, sideways, her ear
pressed over his heart. Her long hair ran across his ribs, trapped between them
and his arm.

Sex had never been more explosive as it had been with the
woman who slept atop his body. It held no logic for him but he couldn’t deny
the truth. Charlie, a human, had made him feel more in one night than he’d ever
felt in his entire existence. An unfamiliar emotion surfaced and he didn’t try
to suppress it. Instead he evaluated what it could be. It startled him when the
answer came and his body tensed while every muscle tightened in protest.

His arm wrapped protectively around Charlie’s back to cradle
her against him and he didn’t want to let her go. Possession and an undeniable
urge to keep her made him wrap his other arm around her to hold on tighter.
Determination grew with every breath he took while he ordered his body to
relax.

The odds of her being willing to stay with him were not in his
favor. She wished to get revenge on her deceitful brother who’d betrayed her
trust. The human, Russell, wasn’t of consequence but convincing her not to
follow him to Saturn would be difficult. He could just take her and force her
to remain at his side until his fascination waned but that would defeat the
purpose of figuring out why she affected him so deeply and strangely.

Her breathing changed and her head lifted. Zorus met her
sleepy gaze and she did something odd. She smiled at him. Her dark hair had become
a tangled mess while she slept or perhaps it could have happened from the
sexual encounters they had shared. She still had the power to make him want her
even though she didn’t look her best. That curve upward of her mouth had his
cock reacting, stiffening as blood rushed to his groin.
