“I did not parade,” he said with dignity.

She slid her hand between them, caressing his arousal. “You didn’t hide yourself either. Kiss me.”

He obeyed her command with a will and they held each other tight as their tongues danced and explored. Jezari thought she might orgasm from the feel of his body on hers and the passion of the kiss and welcomed the idea. Hainn inserted his finger and then a second into her body and began working her while he suckled her breast and soon she was arching her spine and screaming his name as the climax rolled over her.

“Now you’re ready for me,” Hainn said. “I loved watching you—that was beautiful.”

“I need you,” she gasped out, breathing hard. What he’d accomplished with his fingers had been mind bending but she ached to have his thick, long cock buried deep inside.

He lifted up and stared into her eyes. His were glowing hot golden amber and she knew hers must be as well. “Are you—have you ever?—”

“I’m not a virgin,” she said, closing her eyes and trying to blot out the sudden vision of the late Khagrish security chief at the mountain complex. He’d made it his special task to initiate each Badari Daughter into womanhood, as he termed it.

“The Khagrish?” he asked, voice low and tense.

Unable to speak, she nodded and averted her face, a tear squeezing out from under her lashes.

“Don’t cry, sweetheart, there’s no judgment here.” He kissed her eyelids softly and then rubbed his nose against hers. Lips next to her ear, he said, “We all have our bad memories of what the Khagrish did to us.”

“You’re a man,” she scoffed.

“I didn’t give my consent and the damn drug the scientist shot into my veins while I was restrained gave me no choice. It happened to many of us.” He turned her head gently with one fingertip so they were gazing at each other. “We’re survivors,you and I, and we’re blessed by the goddess to have found each other. This will beourfirst time which is all that matters, right?”

Comforted and touched by his caring, she made a sound of agreement. Running the tip of one talon down his spine she made her voice teasing. “First? You mean we might do this again sometime?”

He lined himself up and pushed the head of his shaft into her. “Count on it.”

“Please.” She put her arms around him tightly and moved her legs to give him better access, urging him to continue.

Hainn didn’t make her wait but continued to work himself deeper into her welcoming body. “You’re so tight, so hot—you’re incredible, sweetheart.”

She moved her hips under him and he slid further, stretching her until she was so full it was nearly painful but not quite. He pulled back and then gave a powerful thrust, bottoming out inside with a move that made her scream again in ecstasy. He kissed her neck and for an instant she expected he was going to claim her and she couldn’t decide whether she wanted to panic and push him off, or to say yes, but his fangs never came into play. What he was doing with his endowment was taking her out of the realm of conscious thought into becoming a being of pure emotion and sensation and Jezari heard herself moaning and begging him to move faster, go harder. Hainn obliged and a moment later she was overtaken by the culmination of his efforts and hers. Pleasure tore through her body and even her inner beast was stunned by how much the orgasm rocked her world. Hainn reared up above her, neck corded with effort, face set in an intense concentration and his hot seed flooded her core, each spasm adding to her own climax.

They lay cuddled together for a few minutes and she could hear his heart thudding against his ribs. Her own waspounding as well and she was flooded with pleasurable tingling sensations.

“And Stonor wants to pick us up now,” Hainn said with a chuckle. “He and Vindy are on their way.”

Jezari sat up in a panic. “Stonor will know what we were doing. He’ll be able to scent it.”

Hainn gave her a little push. “Go dip in the ocean, wash off. I’ll pack this stuff up and join you. It’ll be fine and I promise you Stonor isn’t going to pass judgment on what we did or didn’t do. It’s no one’s business but ours.”

She gave him a dubious frown but remembered he was more experienced than she and didn’t find the idea pleasing in the least. Taking his advice, she grabbed the pieces of her suit and ran to the surf, dunking herself under the waves a couple of times and then getting redressed. Hainn waited for her as she emerged from the water combing her hair with her talons.

“Goddess, you’re beautiful,” he said, catching her for a hug and a quick kiss. “If they weren’t on their way already I’d tell them to leave us here in our cove of love for the rest of the day.”

She smacked him on the shoulder lightly and giggled. “Cove of love? Sappy much?” Attempting to look past him, she asked, “Anything else to pack up?”

“No it’s all done. Listen Vindy’s not going to land. I want Stonor to retrieve us with the tractor beam so you can get used to how it works. That’s how it’s done out at the sea mount after a ride ends— he’ll retrieve the surfer and their board with the tractor beam. Don’t worry, he’s a master at it, got a light touch.”

Jezari was dubious but Hainn gave her no choice. Sure enough when the flyer arrived and hovered overhead she watched the two surfboards and then the container with the remnants of their meal and their belongings rise into the sky. She braced herself but the touch of the tractor beam wasn’t too unsettling. Firm, as if she was wrapped in a tightly rolledtowel, but not painful. Badari had an instinctive dislike of being confined or kept immobile but before her inner beast could get too worked up she was inside the flyer and free of the pull. Hainn came in right behind her and the portal closed with a snap as the seals deployed. Jezari greeted Stonor and then Hainn led her to their seats.

“Are you sure you’re ready for the sea mount?” he asked when they were seated.

Jezari didn’t hesitate. “Let’s get on with this. I’ve got the principles and had the practice, okay?”

Stonor came up the aisle in time to overhear her remark. “Surfing those little waves isn’t really much practice, my friend. Expect to wipe out on your first few tries.” He didn’t say it unkindly so Jezari held her tongue but his attitude made her all the more determined to succeed on her first attempt.

Vindy brought the flyer to a foot or two above the ocean’s surface and jezari jumped out, going under and resurfacing quickly as Hainn joined her, followed by their two surfboards. She wasted no time in climbing onto hers, sensing the power of the water beneath her. The next wave formed beyond the spot where she waited and she saw one of Hainn’s brothers riding it, whooping and hollering his joy.
