Enhanced

  Six shifted and groaned aloud as her fingertips stroked lightly over the tender sack between his thighs.

  “Mei-Li…ah, Gods!” he growled. “What are you doing?”

  Mei-Li froze. “Just…massaging you,” she said softly. “Is that okay?”

  In answer, he shifted, raising up to give her more room and Mei-Li found she was able to reach around and cup his long, hard shaft in her palm. He was so thick there was no way she could wrap her fingers all the way around him but she tried anyway, stroking up and down as he gasped and pumped into her hand which was still slick with oil.

  Mei-Li was surprised at how erotic it felt to hold him in her hand—to know that she was responsible for his pleasure and the low sounds coming from his throat. Six might claim that he had no emotions and maybe he didn’t, but the sounds coming from him said otherwise. There was definite passion in his voice as he groaned her name.

  Close now, she thought, wondering how in the world she had the nerve to do this. He’s close and as soon as he comes, I’ll be in the clear. I’ll—

  Suddenly Six moved away from her grasp and flipped over. He sat up and caught her wrist in his hand, looking at her intently.

  “What…what’s wrong?” Mei-Li felt like she’d been caught with her hand in the cookie jar—literally. But he had said she could touch him so what was the big deal?

  “Why are you doing this?” Six was still giving her that piercing look.

  “Well, I mean…I’m, uh, massaging you, like I said. You told me I could go first so I thought—”

  “You thought if you got me to spend my pleasure and come first, you could avoid being touched and massaged yourself—didn’t you?” His raised eyebrow said that he knew he was right.

  Mei-Li felt her cheeks getting hot.

  “What? No! I mean, I never…”

  “Yes, you did.” Six shook his head. “Do you really fear my touch that much? I thought you trusted me.”

  Mei-Li blew out a frustrated breath. “I’m not afraid you’ll hurt me,” she explained. “I just…don’t like being out of control. It’s not easy for me.”

  “It is not easy for me either,” Six said, surprising her with his candor. “To strip off my exoskeleton and protective clothing, to allow myself to be completely bare with you and to open myself to your touch—that is not without effort on my part. In fact, it goes against every single instinct of self-preservation I have. If anyone but you had reached between my legs the way you did, I would have cut off their hand.”

  “You…you would?” Mei-Li looked at him uncertainly. She had that feeling again—the same one she’d had when she was kissing him. The feeling that she was doing something dangerous—reaching through the bars of the cage to stroke a tiger and trusting that it wouldn’t bite her hand off. Literally, in this case.

  Six nodded slowly. “I would. But I allow such intimacies from you—allow you to make me open and vulnerable—because I trust you. Please, Mei-Li…” Gently he cupped her cheek and looked into her eyes. “Will you not trust me as well?”

  “I…” She bit her lip again. How could she refuse him when he looked at her that way? “All right,” she whispered at last. “I…I guess so.”

  “Thank you.” He nodded gravely. “Then if you would please lie down, I believe it is my turn to massage you.”

  “But you didn’t…um, finish.” She nodded down at his thick shaft which was still fully erect against his flat belly.

  “Your pleasure comes first,” Six said simply. “Would you prefer for me to start with your back or your front?”

  “My…my back please,” she whispered.

  “As you wish. If you will lie down, I will select the proper oil to begin.”

  Feeling incredibly nervous, Mei-Li lay down on her stomach as instructed. She turned her head to the side and the sousa made a little cushion under her cheek, giving her just the right support.

  Then she felt his large, warm hands on her shoulders. He was using the faintly almond scented oil, just as she had, and he seemed to know exactly what he was doing.

  Mei-Li had to bite back a groan as he dug his thumbs into the knots that had formed in her shoulders. God, she was tense! If she could just relax she was sure the massage would do her good. She was so tired and this was one of the best rubdowns she’d ever had. If only she didn’t feel so nervous about what would happen when he eventually turned her over…

  But instead of doing that, Six took a page out of her own book. Reaching around, he slid his large hands under her chest to cup her breasts. Mei-Li moaned as she felt his palms rub against the sensitive nubs of her nipples. Almost without knowing what she was doing, she arched her back a little, raising up and giving him better access.

  Six took full advantage of her new position and tugged gently on her nipples, sending sparks of pain and pleasure through her entire body. He was straddling her body now, urging her up on her hands and knees and to her dismay, Mei-Li found she was eager to obey his unspoken commands.

  The new position made her feel open and vulnerable in a whole new way. She had been dreading turning over and letting him touch her everywhere. But feeling his big body looming over hers and his large, warm hands caressing her from behind was so completely different than what she had been expecting that she somehow forgot to be afraid.

  “Does this feel good?” Six rumbled softly in her ear, his large hand sliding from her shoulders all the way down over her ass to her thighs. “Does it feel right, Mei-Li?”

  “Y-yes,” she stuttered, unable to lie. “It…it does. Feels good and right, I mean.”

  “Good, then let’s see how you liked being taken from behind. Spread your thighs.”

  “What?” She cast a glance back at him, over her shoulder. Up until now she had kept her legs tightly closed despite the provocative position she had allowed him to put her into. But now he was asking her to spread for him. And she could only think of one reason why that would be. “I can’t…can’t have sex with you tonight,” she gasped, though a part of her wanted to throw caution to the wind and give in to the tight, stretching pleasure of letting him sheathe his cock to the hilt in her hot pussy. “I just can’t.”

  “I have no intention of filling you tonight,” Six murmured. “I simply have a different kind oil to use on you.”

  “A…a different kind of oil?” She glanced at him again and saw that the look on his face was both serious and sincere. “What…what does it do?”

  “It heats on contact with your skin,” Six told her. “You should find it pleasurable—very pleasurable if I apply it correctly.”

  “Oh? And where…where are you supposed to, uh, apply it?” Mei-Li somehow managed to ask.

  “Your outer pussy lips,” Six said matter-of-factly as though he was going to rub suntan lotion on her back. “This oil is especially made for this area of your body.”

  “Oh…” Mei-Li closed her eyes for a moment—was she actually considering this? She really shouldn’t—it was going too far. And yet… “Just…just the outer lips?” she asked at last.

  “That’s all,” Six assured her soothingly. “I simply need to apply it to your outer mound and pussy area.”

  “Well…all right. If that’s all.” Feeling both nervous and turned on at the same time, Mei-Li reluctantly parted her thighs.

  “Raise up more—let me reach you,” Six commanded.

  Biting her lip, Mei-Li raised her ass higher and soon she felt something warm being stroked lightly over her outer lips.

  As Six had promised, he kept the new oil—which seemed to warm her all over—strictly to the outside of her mound. His big fingers traced gently over the outside of her pussy until Mei-Li felt herself getting swollen and achy with need. She knew it wasn’t right to wish it, but she couldn’t help thinking how nice it would be if his fingers slipped just once and slid into her folds. God, she was hot!

  As though reading her mind, Six murmured in her ear,

  “I have another kind of oil as well, Mei-
Li. For another area. Will you let me use it on you?”

  “What…what other area?” she whispered, looking around at him, although she could already guess.

  He gave her a level look. “It’s for your inner pussy, of course. I need you to spread your legs even wider so I can reach your soft, inner folds and caress your soft little cunt with my fingers. Can you do that for me, Mei-Li?”

  “I…” Her breath seemed to catch in her throat. “I’m not sure.”

  “It’s just for you inner folds,” he murmured. “Not your clit or your pussy channel.”

  “I…I thought you’d never been with a woman,” Mei-Li gasped, playing for time. “So how do you know so much about—”

  “I downloaded a female anatomy tutorial on my simulator,” he murmured. “And I studied it thoroughly. Believe me, Mei-Li, I know everything I need to in order to bring you pleasure…or to simply massage you. Will you let me continue?”

  “I…” She bit her lit. “So you’re not going to…to touch my clit? Or to, um, penetrate me?”

  “Not unless you want me to,” he murmured. “For now, I am simply massaging you. True, it is a very intimate massage, but still just a massage.”

  “Oh…” she said. His insistence that this was just a massage seemed to put things in another light. As apprehensive as she was, it didn’t seem quite as dangerous to let him stroke over her open pussy as long as he avoided her aching clit and didn’t penetrate her with his fingers. Maybe this would be okay.

  “Trust me,” he said softly and Mei-Li decided to.

  “All right,” she whispered. She was still up on her hands and knees and she opened her thighs even wider and lowered her head to her arms, letting her ass rise high in the air to give him easier access. The new position made her feel both wanton and hot and she moaned thickly when Six’s fingers came back with some new, warm slippery liquid and began to caress the inner folds of her pussy.

  Over, up, and around he rubbed, sliding the tips of his fingers deep into her folds and yet somehow managing to avoid the throbbing button of her clit. Oh, he circled it gently over and over until Mei-Li thought she was going to scream, but he never actually touched her there. God, he wasn’t lying when he said he knew his way around female anatomy! She could feel the pleasure building inside her but it had no place to go. Six never quite gave her the direct stimulation she needed to come.

  “Six,” she moaned softly as he teased her. “This is torture. I’m so…I can’t take much more of this.”

  “Then perhaps you’ll be interested in the last kind of oil I simulated for this experience,” Six rumbled.

  Mei-Li cast a wary glance over her shoulder to see that his gray eye was half-lidded with what she would have sworn was lust and need if he’d had any emotions. “And what…what is it for?” she somehow managed to ask.

  “For your clit,” Six told her, the very tip of his finger stroking lightly—just once—over her hot little button and making her moan. “And for here.” His fingers slid down her wet, swollen folds until they reached the entrance to her pussy. “It’s to massage you inside,” he murmured.

  “But I thought…thought you weren’t going to do that,” she said weakly. “I thought this was just a massage.”

  “It was—up until now,” he growled softly. “Now I need to make you come.”

  “Oh, God…” Mei-Li knew she shouldn’t go so far. Probably she could put this off if she really wanted to. The problem was, she didn’t want to. She wanted to feel those gentle fingertips caressing her most sensitive spot, wanted to feel his thick fingers filling her up. She wanted that so badly…

  “Mei-Li?” he murmured. “Will you spread your legs and let me stroke your clit? Will you let me penetrate your pussy and fuck you with my fingers until you come?”

  She couldn’t stop herself from whispering one tiny little word.

  “Yes.”

  “Good.” He reached for another bottle of oil and anointed just the fingertips of his metal left hand. “Then open for me and let me touch you.”

  Up until now he’d been touching her right-handed and Mei-Li was sure the metal covering his left hand would feel cold. Instead, it was even warmer than his right and the metal felt silky smooth against her heated clit. The drop of oil he massaged so tenderly into her swollen bud burned like fire for just a quarter of an instant. But before she could gasp or jerk away, the burn became a warm, pleasurable glow that seemed to radiate out to her entire body and made her clit throb with pleasure.

  Or was it his fingers that were making her throb with pleasure? Suddenly, Mei-Li became aware of a very minute, tiny vibration that was happening between her legs. After one dazed and uncomprehending moment, she understood that it was coming from his metal fingertips. Somehow he was able to use his enhancement as a kind of sex toy—a vibrator that could pinpoint in the most accurate way imaginable exactly how she liked and needed to be touched.

  “Oh…Oh God, Six,” she moaned, thrusting her hips back to give him better access to her open pussy. “That’s incredible! I’m close…so close…”

  “Then you’re ready for this,” he growled softly. Before he even finished speaking, Mei-Li felt two thick fingers from his other hand penetrating her to the core. She gasped and arched her back as they slid inside her, filling her, fucking her, pressing deep to get to the end of her channel while with his other hand he brought her to an earth-shattering climax.

  “Oh my God, oh Six!” she heard herself gasping as her orgasm broke over her. “Oh, please—oh yes!”

  “That’s right, Mei-Li,” he murmured, never altering his rhythm as he thrust deep inside her. “Come for me—I want to hear you come. Want to hear your pleasure as you give yourself completely.”

  She couldn’t have stopped herself if she wanted to—and she didn’t. Moaning his name, she allowed herself to come hard on the invading fingers. Allowed herself to lose it completely, giving in to the pleasure as Six watched her with an almost hungry expression on his face while she came for him. Came until she felt as limp and lifeless as a rag doll and he finally slid his fingers from her pussy and let her slump down, exhausted, to her side on the bed.

  “Six,” she gasped, when she could talk again. “That was…I don’t even know what to say.”

  Turning over, she saw that he was sitting on the bed beside her, watching her with an unreadable expression on his face. He was still nude and still hard—his shaft looked painfully erect and she wondered if it was hurting him.

  “Six?” she asked tentatively. “Are you okay? Do you need me to, uh…” She reached for him but he moved much more quickly than she would have believed possible considering his size. In a flash, he was off the bed and halfway across the room. “Six?” she asked again, looking up at him.

  “Forgive me.” His deep voice sounded strangled. “I must…I need…”

  “You need what?” Mei-Li asked, mystified.

  He shook his head. Then, without another word, he turned and left.

  Chapter Nineteen

  Six locked himself in the fresher and put his back to the door, breathing heavily. Gods, what was wrong with him? Why was his heart pounding so hard? Why did it take everything he had not to rush back into the sleeping chamber, gather Mei-Li in his arms and crush her to him? Why did he want to cover her mouth with his and taste her sweet lips again—to take the kisses she had denied him earlier?

  I simply need a physical release, he told himself sternly, trying to control the strange, wild urges that seemed to have taken over him. Once I have relieved the physical pressure, the need to hold her will pass.

  But would it? There was only one way to find out.

  Though he hadn’t given himself pleasure since he was inducted into the ranks of the Enhanced Ones, some things could never be forgotten. Muscle memory took over as he took his shaft in his fist.

  Six pumped in long, slow, measured strokes, trying to control the lust rather than letting it control him. He was doing well until he brought his o
ther hand to his face. Then he caught her scent—that sweet, feminine musk that seemed to drive him wild, to cause all kinds of forbidden sensations to rise within him.

  It wasn’t just her scent, either, he had to admit to himself even as he breathed her in. It was the way she looked when she gave herself to him, when she opened her thighs and submitted to his penetration. When she let him put his fingers deep inside her pussy and fill her until she came…came so hard for him.

  Unable to stop himself, Six slipped the first two fingers of his right hand between his lips. Immediately her rich, complex taste filled his mouth. He closed his eyes and sucked, lapping his fingers to get every last bit of her sweet juice. Gods, how he wanted to taste it from the source! How he longed to bury his face between her thighs and lap and suck and kiss her soft little pussy until she came all over his mouth instead of on his fingers. He wanted to feel her pulling his hair, riding his tongue, begging and moaning and calling his name in that soft, little voice of hers.

  He wanted to hear her say she felt for him. That she…loved him? But no, that was foolish. Wasn’t it?

  Foolish or not, the fantasy was suddenly too much. With a low groan, Six came hard, spurting his seed over the metal of his enhanced left hand, losing control in a way he hadn’t allowed himself to in years.

  Mei-Li, he thought nearly incoherently. Gods, want you so much…

  When the pleasure finally ebbed it took his strength with it. Six slid down the door bonelessly and wound up on the floor with his legs splayed out in front of him. For a moment he just sat there, trying to catch his breath. Then the barrage of questions began.

  What just happened to me? Why couldn’t I help myself? Why do I want her so badly? Why did I need so desperately to make her come—to bring her pleasure? To kiss her and hear her say that she feels for me?
