Chapter Twenty-Five

RUBY

Slavicunwrapsme likeI’man anticipatedChristmaspresent.Hisgaze is so intense it makes me feel simultaneously exposed and cherished all at the same time.However, as he starts lifting my shirt and his eyes hit mine, there’s a vulnerability thereIdidn’t expect.

Ashe moves the shirt up higher, his claws gradually slide up my sides.Histhumbs brushing the underside of my breasts sends a jolt of pleasure throughout my system andIbite back the moan that wants to escape my lips.Withoutmeaning to,Iarch further into his touch, pleading for more, but scared thatIwant it.

Whenthe material hits the floor,Ilook up at the hunger in his unique, but terrifying eyes.Theyroam my naked skin from the waist up, and with a growl, his sausage size fingers move to cup my breast, kneading the soft flesh.He’snot gentle, butIbelieve this is him trying to be.Ican see the restraint it’s taking him to hold back.It’slike that fine line between love and hate, only it’s between his strength and desire not to hurt me.

Shiftinghis hands to glide down my waist, he comes to the buckle holding my pants on.Slavic’seyes never leave mine ashe steps closer.Theheat coming off his body surrounds me in comfort as he lowers his head.Hislips press gently against mine, slowly with a few tentative nibbles at first, but this quickly escalates as he pulls me closer.

Thecloth of his suit is a major contrast against my naked skin.Suddenly, the kiss becomes more aggressive as his lips crash upon mine in a hungry demand for more.Raisingup,Iwrap my arms around his neck, pulling him closer.Myresistance completely shatters when his tongue finds my own, only to pout when he pulls away from me slightly.

“Inever dreamed anything could feel as good as you do under my hands.”

Smiling,Irub my nose against his. “Sweettalker, you better stop this now, or it will completely ruin your reputation.”

“Areyou sure you want this,Ruby?Thereis no going back onceImake you truly mine.”

“Likeyou would let me go either way.Iwas yours the moment you picked me up out of that nest and you know it.I’mjust a little slow and it took me slightly longer to get on the bandwagon.”Shakinghis head,Ican tell he’s fighting a smile.

“Itwould tear my hearts out if you changed your mind, butIwould respect your choice.”

“GoodthingIlike those hearts of yours right where they’re at.Now, how do we get you out of this space-rig?Ididn’t get the same strip show you did earlier, andIwant to see the complete package.”

“Iam not appealing like you are pretty one.”

“See, opinions are like assholes, we all have one.Sowhy don’t you let me decide?”

“Let’sget you out of this suit, then we will walk into the decontaminator together.”

“Ohhh, my kinda date!Nothinglike getting decontaminated before a little hanky panky, … so let’s hurry.”

Whenhe smiles this time,Idon’t flinch away from the odd teeth he’s showing.Atsome point, his differences have become endearing to me.Hemanages to finally get me out of this dang suit, and asIstand here naked for the universe to see,Iwatch him hesitate to remove his own.

“Doyou need some help?”

“No, myStarshine.Iam enjoying the look and smell of desire on you, and do not want to see disgust in your eyes.”

“Youknow,Ikinda like this nickname you have for me.Twoof us can play this game, sweet thing.Nowget your ass naked.”

Unlikehow he unwrapped me,Slavic’smovements are jerky and unsure, somethingI’venever witnessed in him before.Leaningdown to yank his boots off, for a secondIthinkIcatch a different color on his skin before he straightens.

Standingup, he towers over me and like ripping a band aid off, he unsnaps the button holding his pants on.Thematerial pools at his feet andIget my first glance atWOW.Hedoesn’t say anything, just stands there waiting on me to react.

Butwhat do you say? ‘No, thank you!’ ‘CanIget that in a smaller size?’… said no woman alive! ‘Hisgods sure had a great sense of humor when creating this.’Imean they just keep scrolling through my mind.Ican tell my silence is botheringhim as the damn thing twitches, every timeIlook at it.Butwho wouldn’t look at it?It’salmost as tall asIam.

“That’squite impressiveSlavic.Doesit have a name, its own zip code, possibly?Talkabout ridged for her pleasure,Ithink someone was an overachiever when they carved you out.”

Hestarts to put his hand over it, andIsmack it away. “Nowthere will be none of that, he’s just a little intimidating is all.Youstand still whileIdo a complete inspection.Ineed to make sure no alien bugs got on you while we were out there playing in the abundant nothingness of space.”

Tracinga finger down his chest just short of the one-eyed monster looking at me,Istroll around him, my hands exploring every wound and scar that mars his massive frame.However, the momentIget to his butt,Istop dead. “Well, would you looky here, what’s this? …Youhave a tan line.Yourbutt is green!”Squeezingit gently,Ismack it playfully whenIrealize how still he’s standing.

“Youcan explain how this happened later but let me tell ya,Ithink we could sell your butt pictures for extra money in a pinch.Iknow plenty ofEarthgirls who would enjoy taking a second glance at this.Lookat these dimples, mmmm nothing but yumminess.Now, if we really wanted to make some extra cash, let’s include video of my eyes following my wandering fingers across this hip bone of yours.Thenthey’ll bring me to these pretty little ‘V’s’ you’ve kept hidden from me behind that rusty old belt of yours.Shameon you!What, no growling or little human remarks? ...HaveIrendered you speechless?”
