Page 28 of A Mate for Vasek
“There’s no other way.”
He turned to face her. One second her feet were firmly planted on the branch, and the next, she was plastered against his chest,and they were already climbing. She threw her arms and legs around him with a squeal.
Vasek’s response was a throaty chuckle. The nerve!
“See, youcanhang on.”
She was too terrified to make a retort lest she disturb him, and they missed their next branch. So she focused on hanging onto him instead. It was easier for her since she was in front of his body, but she worried that their position would hinder his mobility.
She was particularly nervous when they got to the part where they had to shimmy up the trunk. Luckily for them his arms were long, and the gloves made his hold strong and secure. They were halfway up when Dawn realized just how dangerously intimate their position was. Every movement had them rubbing up together, and by the time Vasek was nearing the final branch, something rock-hard pressed deliciously against her.
Primed by the fantastic show she’d gotten earlier, her body reacted, exploding in sudden desire. There was no way he did not detect her scent. It was so strong it felt like she was wearing a giant blinking light-up sign with the wordsCome Fuck Me Nowin big bold letters. And for once in a very long time, she didn’t mind.
Chapter 15
Vasek
Vasek gritted his teeth as he pulled himself up onto the branch where he’d secured their tent. The last few minutes had been absolute torture, and he wasn’t sure he’d survive the next few hours trapped in a small space with Dawn.
He was surprised how quickly the olfactinull had exited his system after they’d left his shuttle. But to be fair, he wasn’t sure any amount of scent-deadening chemical would be effective when they were smashed front-to-front and she was smelling like lust itself.
It was hard enough keeping his focus, but trying to stay on that Star-cursed tree had been near impossible with how hard his cock had gotten. He wondered how the fuck he was still standing when all the blood in his body was in his crotch.
If Dawn had missed his very obvious reaction to their closeness while they were still climbing, she’d see his erection now. Safe on the branch, he carefully released her, and she slid down his body, with his legs still on either side of her. He groaned when for a moment it seemed like the only thingholding her up on his body was his rock-hard cock wedged between her legs.
Their eyes met, and he was instantly lost in the brilliant green in them. He had to resist the sudden urge to bend his head and nuzzle her.
A rustling of leaves from below them reminded him that they were still being hunted, and while the stalker would never be able to reach them up here, it would stick around as long as it could see them.
As Vasek lowered Dawn into the arboreal tent that would be their home for the next light cycle, he was suddenly extremely aware that he had a very important choice to make. Back on the ship, he’d managed to grab the canister of olfactinull and toss it into his pack. But there wasn’t much left.
The plan was to use it to spray the trail leading from the shuttle to their hideout, in case the pirates were desperate enough to come after them. It would also encourage the stalker still lurking under the tree to leave. But he doubted there was enough to also spray their tent.
That would mean he’d have to endure on his own with Dawn in an enclosed space, smelling like the promise of heaven itself.
He'd never make it. That much he knew. But their immediate survival was more important. Not to mention, the irrational part of him he’d spent most of his life shoving away had already decided that he’d have Dawn one way or another.
He’d gotten to know her more during their trip over and found he enjoyed her company. He hadn’t realized just how lonely his life had been. Sure, he saw many different faces in his line of work, but they came quickly and often left in an equal hurry. When was the last time he’d spent days with someone?
At first, when she pulled everything out of his supply cabinet, he had wondered if they’d made a big mistake. But every so often, he found himself looking at the piles she’d made on his floor and thinking, “Aha! So that’s where it went! I was looking for that.” There was a method to her madness.
He dropped down into the tent below and was immediately overwhelmed by the bouquet of her lust. It only got stronger after she closed the tent, zipping them in. One look over at her was enough to make his decision. The last sprays of the olfactinull would be used to protect them from danger, because he needed her now.
He reached for her, pulling her into his lap.
“Do not be scared. I will never hurt you.”
“I’m not scared. Not anymore.”
And she wasn’t because she was adjusting herself to straddle him, in much the same position she’d been in on the way up here.
“Not even of my fangs?” Vasek bent his head and dragged the tips of his fangs over the thin skin of her neck.
She inhaled sharply, and instead of fear, desire spilled from her. She arched, rubbing their bodies together.
Dawn was his! Vasek moved, lifting his hips and rolling Dawn onto the tent floor. He now regretted how thoroughly he’d dressed her earlier. The belt came off first, before he could pull the oversized top off her body. The shorts were so big on her that they came off easily too.
Dawn was helping now, her deft fingers making quick work of the fastening on his pants. His cock sprang out from its prison and into her hands, already hard. Once again, there was no fear.Just wanton need as she bent her head to lick the single drop of precum that gathered on the tip.
