“I am over one-hundred pounds heavier than a natural male because of my enhancements. I’ll have to ask Captain Savage where he found his horse,” Max said. “Is there anything else we need to do for them?
“We just need to fill their water buckets. There is a hand pump at the watering trough outside.”
It took another ten minutes to fill all the water buckets and distribute them. Next, Falyn put the little goats into the shed attached to the side of the barn. They would be easy prey for a coyote, and she couldn’t afford to lose them.
With evening chores finished, Falyn turned to head back to the house, and Max caught her in his arms and pulled her against his hard body. It was as if he’d read her mind as she melted against him. More likely, he scented her arousal that she had been fighting since before dinner.
She knew she was quickly becoming infatuated with the big muscular cyborg, liking that he made her feel cared for when she was in his arms. Being with him made her happy.
Falyn had been alone so long; she hadn’t realized she was lonely until Max buzzed into her life on his sky cycle. Until then, it was quickly becoming the worst day of her life as she contemplated putting down her beloved horse.
It was still surreal that this man had dropped into her life two days ago and she had essentially consented to be his wife. As she wound her arms around his neck, she smiled up at him, parting her lips in anticipation of his kiss.
The tender passion in his eyes as he lowered his head to claim hers in an ardent kiss made her want to give him everything. She thought she could kiss him for hours as their tongues tangoed sensually.
During their kiss, he lifted her to wrap her legs around his waist, carrying her back to the house. Then they were in her bedroom, pulling off their clothing, eager to come together. Max picked Falyn up when they were naked again, claiming another arousing kiss.
Falyn basked in the pleasure of his kiss while pressing her sensitive breasts against his muscular chest. Her clit throbbed, and her nipples ached for attention. Max seemed reluctant to part his lips from hers, so Falyn pressed little butterfly kisses on his lips and face until he leaned her back in his arms to latch on to her nipples with his mouth.
Max sucked on them alternately, driving her wild with desire until she came spontaneously against his belly. She didn’t have to tell him she was ready for him to fuck her. She sighed relief as he got onto the bed with her still wrapped around him. He laid her down beneath him, kissing her, and she parted her legs so he could slide his cock into her, moaning as he did.
Falyn held him tenderly, caressing his head and back through the kiss. How could she feel this much ardor in such a short time? Or was it just so much better than being alone?
Seconds later, she no longer cared to question it. Max started pumping in and out of her, hard and deep, emphasizing his claim of her with each thrust. She gave a little huff, with each one tilting her pelvis upward to meet him. He was exquisitely hitting all the right places and stroking her inner walls, steadily driving her to another mind-blowing orgasm.
Soon he was pounding into her, and she adored the climb to ecstasy as he took her to climax twice before he poured his nanite-laden essence into her.
Afterward, she clung to him with his weight pressing down on her, still joined. Tomorrow he was leaving. She didn’t want him to go. She couldn’t deny the niggling fear that he wouldn’t come back even through no fault of his own.
Chapter Eleven
By the time Falyn woke in the morning, Max had let the horses out to pasture, milked the goats, and collected the eggs from the chickens. She awoke to the smell of eggs cooking and emerged sleepily from the bedroom to find Max in the kitchen cooking them.
“Well, look at you,” she said with a smile. “Not only great in bed, and you can cook, too. Definitely, a keeper.”
“As late as I kept you up, I figured I could take care of things for you?” Max put down the wooden spatula and set the cast iron frying pan off the stove onto a wood cutting board.
Turning, he took her into his arms, kissed her with just a quick slip of his tongue, and hugged her. “I have never known such joy as I do, making love to you. I’m having trouble finding the will to leave you and do my job, but I must.”
“Yes, I know the feeling. Being with you makes me realize how long it’s been since I felt truly happy. I will miss you.”
“As I will you… I suggest you keep your com-tablet handy. I don’t think I will want to wait to call you until I know if I will be back tomorrow evening or not.” Max held her a little longer, looking down at her as though memorizing her face. He let her go reluctantly. “We should eat while the eggs are still warm.”
Falyn was about to set the kitchen table for them, but Max had done that, too. So, she sat at her place and watched him serve a large portion to each of their plates. There was already a pot of herbal tea and two mugs on the table as well.
“Thank you for doing all this. It’s very sweet of you.” She gave him an appreciative smile. It would be so hard to watch him go.
“I would do anything for you, my mate,” he assured her.
She was sorely tempted to ask him to forget about his job and just stay there with her. But she couldn’t. Max had a hundred protectors arriving tomorrow, and they would be looking to him for guidance. He could not abandon his responsibilities any more than she would stop tending her homestead.
When he showed her how to use the com-tablet, he had shown her vids of Los Angeles from Stalker’s reports. If the San Francisco Bay area was anything like LA, some people needed help.
From the intense emotion reflected in his eyes, Falyn could hardly doubt that she was important to him and that he would be back just as he said he would.
“I know it seems far from here on the virtual map display, but not if I transform my sky cycle into flyer mode. I can get here in less than twenty minutes.”
“Wow. It would take days to ride my horse that far.”
