Page 21 of Bradi

Bradi began to ease their bodies to the ground and she didn’t fight him. She needed comfort, needed to lose herself in the moment. Guilt over her lust for Bradi tried to surface, but she suppressed it. Stranded on a strange, primitive planet with no hope of going home, she needed to feel something—anything—and for all the faults Bradi had, not making her feel wasn’t one of them.

His hands seemed to be everywhere at once and she realized that she too was feeling him. Letting her hands glide over his back, she bunched his T-shirt up to feel his hot skin beneath. Hard muscles greeted her and she drew in a sharp breath as her pussy quivered. She worked his shirt over his head and couldn’t believe how incredible his body was. The very thought of him fucking her damn near brought about an orgasm. She could only dream what the real thing would be like.

Bradi was always shy about letting people see him partially dressed, and she couldn’t understand why. “You don’t have an ounce of fat on you.”

Bradi chuckled and she realized that she’d spoken aloud. He bent his head and kissed her collarbone lightly. “Mmm, I have yet to find any fat on you either.”

“Oh please, my—”

He silenced her with a kiss as he ground his hips against her. The pressure of his hard shaft through the fabric of his pants was more than enough to stimulate her swollen clit. Each rub, each sway of his hips brought her closer to climax.

Bradi’s hands found their way to her breasts and in just seconds, he was rolling her nipples between his fingertips, causing her to moan for him. When his fingers slid into the top of her shorts, she tensed a bit. He stopped and looked down at her, capturing her in his mesmerizing gaze. “Do you want me to stop?”

She bit her lower lip and shook her head. “No, but I need to tell you something and you have to promise not to laugh.”

His eyebrows arched as he nodded his head. “Yes?”

“I’ve never… I’ve never been with a man before.”

He nodded and placed a chaste kiss on her forehead. “We can stop until you’re ready, baby.”

“No,” she said, a little too fast. “I’m ready, but I thought you should know so that…”

He smiled. “So that I’d be gentle with you?”

That wasn’t exactly what she had in mind. “Well, I guess gentle would be nice, but more importantly, I think you should know that I wasn’t kidding about not being able to tolerate the shots.” The doctor within her kicked into gear. “That means that I have no form of birth control so you’ll have to pull out of me before you ejaculate. I know that you had your shot, but those aren’t one hundred percent unless both parties are up to date. Plus, I think you should know that something odd may happen during this. I’ve never told anyone about this before but I come by my healing honestly.”

He gulped. “You’re telling me if we join, there is a high chance of pregnancy?”

She blushed and nodded. “Yes, but there is more, Bradi. I’m different. I don’t know how to explain this very well.”

Bradi rolled off her quickly and grabbed his shirt off the ground. He turned toward the brula and gave it a hard twist. When he didn’t look at her or speak to her, she had to fight tears.

“Bradi?” She sat up and drew her legs to her chest, having never felt more humiliated in her life. She had been on the verge of confessing her gift to him and he’d acted this way. Climbing to her feet, she cast him an angry look.

“Sit down,” he said sternly, but didn’t face her.

“Look at me.”

“I can’t,” he said, his shoulders hunched as he seemed fixated on turning the food.

It hit her then. He couldn’t look at her. He didn’t really want her the way he claimed he did, and the very idea of a possible pregnancy caused this reaction in him. Her bottom lip trembled. “I get you don’t like me. That I came between you and Peter. I didn’t mean to damage your friendship with him, Bradi.”

“You think I don’t like you?” he asked, still avoiding looking at her.

She nodded. “I know you don’t. You tolerate me. Nothing more. It was wrong of me to seek comfort from you. I get that now. I just thought…I thought you felt the pull too. I was wrong.”

She turned and rushed away, tears streaming down her face fast.
