“Hmm.” The content sound wasn’t the only one that filled the room.

A moment after his fingers left me, I heard something else and opened my eyes.

He was licking his fingers.

I smiled slightly, too blissed out to say what I was thinking. Finger licking was one step closer to licking the source, and that was something I was looking forward to.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

KHORAHN

Vya’s taste lingered on my tongue long after her breathing slowed. I wanted nothing more than to spread her limbs and lap up her sweetness while the sounds of her excitement filled my ears. I needed to hear her call out my name again in her pleasure.

My ambal leaked with my secretions at the thought. She chose that moment to shift her leg over me. The heat of her skin blanketed me, and I could feel the moisture leaking from her breeding sheath. The ache in my cock increased, and the need to adjust its position consumed me.

I craved her soft body’s welcome.

Considering her lack of fear at my unclothed state and how she’d asked for my help with her need, she was so close to inviting me to mate with her. I could imagine the way it would feel to slide my cock into her warm breeding sheath. Again. And again. And again.

Our mating would be glorious.

My cock twitched, demanding to be repositioned.

“Command Khorahn, how long would it take to reach Navar Seven if we cut power to non-essential ship functions?”

There was a long pause.

“One full flare.”

“And if we cut power to everything but my sleeping quarters?”

“Three arcs. Cautionary note. All life outside of your sleeping chamber will terminate. Cautionary note. Injury may result when entering Navar’s orbit at zero gravity. Cautionary note. Loose items will drift during transit and potentially lead to ship damage when entering Navar’s orbit at zero gravity. Cautionary note. Environ?—”

“Stop.”

I swore under my breath and shifted my hips to rub my ambal against her. Its swell increased.

“Vya, my sweet female, I’m not sure I can spend another prexel in here with you. You are the most enticing form of torture. And I’m too wise to test my control when you’re so close to giving me all your trust.”

I leaned in to inhale the scent of her hair then eased out from under her. Her hand drifted across the space I’d occupied before settling. A slight frown marred her brow.

“Rest easy, my pretty one. I won’t go far.”

She didn’t stir at the sound of the door opening, and I paused in the hallway for a moment to calm my body’s demands for her. My ambal leaked onto the floor with my need to mark her. To slide its length inside of her however she would allow. To scent mark her inside and out, completely, leaving no doubt that she belonged to me for however long she chose.

The thought brought my swell to the point of stinging pain, and I strode to the cleansing unit. After using the efficient and painless waste removal unit, I thoroughly released my secretions. With the ache eased, I sat in the steam cleanse and considered how to handle the next few flares.

I trusted Mtinash to provide what I needed, and he knew I would pay the chit or provide the terra he wanted. He didn’t ask unnecessary questions and would keep his mouth shut about my female. He understood how dangerous it would be for her if the systems knew she was aboard my vessel. After all, every male in the systems dreamed of obtaining a female of his own and would do anything to secure one.

And therein lay my problem.

Mtinash was a male of means. His sky home afforded every luxury, including a lucrative grow dome filled with non-life-threatening edible fruits and roots. Traders came from all over the systems to buy what he offered. His home was well-guarded with the latest tech.

The male had connections. He would be a tempting match for any female and knew it. He would do everything in his power to lure Vya away from me.

My little human didn’t understand how the systems worked, though. She’d been taken from her home and mistreated in ways I didn’t want to imagine. However, she trusted me. And I wouldn’t tarnish that trust by keeping her from the one thing she needed right now—a translator—simply to spare myself the possibility of losing her.

However, I wasn’t without a plan of my own to woo her.
