Page 18 of Hainn

“The guys have all surfed several times today so they agreed you can go next,” Hainn said, paddling his board close to hers. “You remember what to do?”

“I’ve got it,” she said, paddling her own board. Now it was the actual moment she wished she could have more time to get used to the ocean but her pride wouldn’t let her back down, so she sent the board surging forward as she felt the incredible power of the wave rising beneath her. The water took her as casually as if she and her board were no more than a drifting splinter and she was high in the sky atop a frothing maelstrom of nature’s power. She got to her feet on the board and hadone brief glorious spurt of exultation before she was suddenly tossed into the heart of the wave, her board lost, torn away as she fell. She had a flash of pure panic before she and her inner beast strove to get self control and work with the wave which was tumbling her over and over as it rushed toward the far away shore. She wasn’t going to drown, being a Badari but the situation was distressing and Jezari appreciated the grasp of the tractor beam when it hit.

Stonor lifted her clear of the ocean and she saw her board rising into the air from hundreds of feet away. He brought her to the flyer and she had no choice but to collapse on the deck as her legs were too shaky to hold her.

“Doing okay?” he asked with a touch of worry.

“I’ll be fine, just gotta catch my breath.”

“I’ll let Hainn know. You want to stay up here with me for a while or drop back into the queue?” He nodded toward the ocean where the small line of waiting Badari sat on their boards. As she watched the next man began paddling as fast as he could and caught the wave, riding it magnificently, easily remaining on top of the chaos and then surfing the face in a bravura performance.

“Set me in the ocean again, please,” she said, going to pick up her board.

“You’ve got grit, girl,” Stonor said with admiration.

Soon she was in the ocean again, close to Hainn. “It wasn’t a bad first attempt,” he said, “But your foot placement was a bit off and your timing on standing upright wasn’t quite what it should have been. Tune up the details and you should handle your next wave fine. Are you okay?”

“I’ll have bruises,” she said with a shrug. “Already healing. Thanks for the tips.”

“Don’t overthink it though. You were doing great this morning in the cove so try to recapture the muscle memory,” he advised.

When it was her turn again she refused to be intimidated by the monster wave she was trying to ride. She took Hainn’s advice and didn’t think through her moves at all, letting her body go through the sequence of what needed to happen and it was with triumph she managed to ride the foaming water all the way to the end. Her dismount wasn’t a thing of beauty by any means but Jezari told herself she’d recouped her honor with the second ride.

“One more today?” Stonor asked when he picked her up and Vindy sent the flyer winging out to sea again. “There’s time.”

Absolutely.” Her second ride had been so exhilarating Jezari craved another chance to repeat the thrill.

She had to wait a bit before her next chance to ride and as she drifted on her board she thought about the sea mount below and the promised diving experience.Maybe tomorrow afternoon I’ll take a break and explore below. She couldn’t go back to the lake without having seen at least a bit of the ocean environment. Hainn had told her it was lightyears of difference from the muddy freshwater lake. The fact it was a body of water was the only common point in her mind.

For her third ride Jezari was in control and assured and recaptured the thrill of her previous trip on a monster wave. The other Badari were waiting for her on shore and applauded as she left the water. Hainn had already retrieved her board for her. She made a mock bow to acknowledge the support and the men crowded around as they waited for the flyer to land, talking over their various experiences on the waves and sharing tips on how to enhance the performances tomorrow. She enjoyed the comradery and secretly had to admit she was enjoying the eye candy—Badari Warriors were uniformly 7’ of chiseled muscleand handsome, which was the way the Khagrish scientists had genetically engineered them to be. As a Daughter, she was a foot shorter and softer with her curves, although the hard muscles were there as well. The genetic material used to create her kind was basically Generation One and the men were Gen Eights, so she speculated whether the females would have also sized up if the lab she’d been created in had performed enhancements.

But they were all Badari and it was amazingly good to be standing with only her own people, no humans. To be courteous to her since her telepathic skills hadn’t returned, the brothers conversed aloud and she felt very much a part of the group.

Despite the abundance of goodlooking males, she was only attracted to Hainn and her desire for him was strong. He came to her side and chatted easily about the surfing, keeping up the conversation on the flyer until reaching the camping area.

Dinner was taken from the stockpile Sandara had sent although Hainn promised her the Badari would be doing serious fishing tomorrow and would prepare a feast in the evening. After dinner the surfboards needed attention to be ready for tomorrow and then of course the obligatory game of cards broke out. Jezari played a few hands to be polite before excusing herself to her own chamber. She wondered if Hainn would follow and hoped he would.

About five minutes passed and he was there, knocking politely with his knuckles on the rock wall. “Came to check on you, make sure there’s nothing you need.” He stepped into the chamber and Jezari’s heart beat faster as his scent came to her.

“So solicitous—I’m honored,” she said, rising from her chair and walking toward him. “How about we finish theconversationwe began today at the beach?” She gave him a wink.

Hainn lost no time in meeting her halfway, picking her up and carrying her into the bedroom. “I was hoping our mindswere running along the same lines tonight. I didn’t get nearly enough of you this afternoon.”

He deposited her on the bed and started stripping out of his clothing as she did the same. “Your brothers will talk,” she said.

“I told you before they’d be careful not to embarrass you. The others can see plainly how attracted to you I am and none of them would give us a hard time over it.” His eyes glowed golden as he looked her up and down.

Jezari reclined on the pillows. “Don’t keep a lady waiting, she might get cold and change her mind.”

“Can’t have that.” He pulled her by the ankles closer to the end of the bed, knelt and spread her legs firmly with his huge hands. “Wanted to taste you tonight—your scent drives me crazy.” Running his tongue over her soft folds, he let the tip penetrate her body and then proceeded to do a series of amazing things to her with his tongue and his hands, bringing Jezari to a heart pounding climax in short order. She clutched at the sheets, her talons making a mess of them as the orgasm took her. Attempting to keep herself quiet distracted her a bit from the full effect of the release, which made Hainn frown. “They can’t hear you out there, don’t worry. MARL constructed this suite of rooms for Jill and Aydarr and you can bet the Supreme Alpha didn’t want to be overheard. Feel free to scream my name next time.” His grin was wide.

Jezari threw a pillow at him, which of course he ducked and then was on the bed looming over her in a flash. He gave her a kiss before directing his attention to her breasts, kneading and suckling and teasing the hard points, which were incredibly sensitive. To her surprise she came again in response to this foreplay, with no penetration at all, although he did play with her clit. Hainn held her while she savored the afterglow and then he rearranged them again, coming between her legs and sliding deep into her core with one powerful thrust. Jezari hungon, deploying her talons ever so slightly to make light scratches on his back, which of course would be healed before morning, but in the moment served to stimulate him to greater efforts. She tried to keep her focus on using her internal muscles to massage his cock as he went deep and Hainn groaned with pleasure.

“So tight on me, sweetheart, you’re going to make me come before I get you there.”

“I’ll be fine,” she said, smiling as the satisfaction of having this giant male at her mercy in their mutual game.

Then he was pounding in and out with a force that shook the bed and Jezari hung on through not one but two climaxes, while Hainn held her tight and pumped his release at her core, where the hot seed stimulated her almost beyond bearing. Jezari blacked out and when she regained consciousness she thought he might have passed out as well from the force of their connection. Hainn rolled onto his back, hand across his eyes and said, “Goddess! You’re the most exceptional, most perfect woman, Jezari. We’re like two halves of a whole when we get together here in the bedroom.” He studied her anxiously. “Do you feel the same way? Did I—did you?—”
