“Mei-Li,” he murmured and the depth of longing in his voice sent a shiver down her spine. Then somehow she was in his arms, in his lap and pressed hard against his broad, bare chest.
He kissed her hungrily—desperately—and Mei-Li gave back as good as she was getting. Burying her hands in his thick, dark hair she slanted her lips against his and sucked his tongue eagerly into her mouth, inviting him in, welcoming his penetration completely.
Six growled in approval and rubbed her back, his big, warm hands caressing her from the nape of her neck to the rounded tops of her buttocks eagerly, as though he couldn’t get enough of touching her.
Mei-Li was wearing the white lace nightdress he had made for her on her first night on the med barge—she had found it tucked between the seat cushions in the shuttle. It gave almost no coverage and she almost felt as though he was caressing her naked skin as he stroked her. And speaking of naked, she wasn’t wearing any panties since she hadn’t had time to make any before she and Six had come back to the barge. It felt naughty and exciting and hot to be making out with him in such a state of undress. Not to mention forbidden…
Probably shouldn’t be doing this, whispered a little voice in her head. He’s got major issues to work through before you can build a solid relationship. It would be better to wait…
She knew it was true and yet she couldn’t wait. She wanted him too badly—wanted his arms around her, his big, muscular body surrounding her, holding her, taking her…
“Gods, your mouth is so sweet,” he murmured, breaking the kiss at last. “But I want to taste more of you.”
“You…you mean…” Mei was trying to catch her breath from the intense kisses. “But you just did that. I mean, not that long ago. Wouldn’t you rather that I, you know, took care of you?” She looked down meaningfully at the hard ridge of his cock, straining against the black leather trousers he wore.
Six shook his head. “There will be time enough for that later. Right now, I need to taste your sweet pussy again.” As he spoke, one large hand came down to rest between her thighs, cupping her sensitive mound gently.
Mei-Li felt a helpless shiver of lust run through her. Her nipples were tight little points and her pussy felt swollen and wet, already opening eagerly for his touch though he hadn’t even slipped his fingers into her wet folds yet.
“Okay,” she said breathlessly. “But not on the sousa this time. I don’t want to be held down.”
Six looked ashamed. “It was wrong to restrain you that way, for which I beg your forgiveness. This time I want you to have control.”
“That sounds good but, uh, how?” Mei-Li looked at him uncertainly.
Six gave her a hungry look.
“I want you to ride my face.”
The hot, dirty words sent a sudden surge through her that Mei-Li couldn’t deny. But if he meant what she thought he meant, it was something she had never tried with a lover before.
“I don’t know…” she said uncertainly. “I’m not exactly sure what you mean.”
“I’ll show you. Like this.” Six lay down on the green carpeted floor and pulled her towards him. Then, lifting her as easily as a rag doll, he positioned her so that she was straddling his head while facing his feet.
Mei-Li shivered as she felt his hot breath blowing against her naked pussy. But she still felt uncertain.
“I’m not sure about this, Six,” she said, sitting back so she could see his face. “Are you sure this is what you want?”
“This position will allow me to get my tongue inside your sweet cunt,” he murmured, his gray eyes flashing with need. “And it will also give you more control. You can raise yourself if you are feeling uncertain or press down against my mouth and tongue if you need me to suck your clit or penetrate your pussy. Come, Mei-Li—let me taste you.”
She caught her breath at the sheer need in his voice. Clearly, he desperately wanted to do this—but he wanted to let her be in control this time. Actually, she admitted to herself, she liked the idea—it made her hot. And the way he had her positioned she could see down the length of his long, hard body, taking in his flexing abs and the hard ridge of his cock still pressing against the leather of his trousers.
“All right,” she whispered at last, spreading her thighs a little wider. “I…I guess we can try it.”
Six growled his approval and then she felt him licking her open, spreading her outer pussy lips gently with his tongue to explore her swollen folds.
“Ah…God!” she cried, arching her back as his tongue moved more deeply into her and began to tease around her clit. “Oh, Six!”
His response was to lick even harder, thrusting his tongue into her pussy and lapping the tender little bundle of nerves until Mei-Li felt like a thousand sparks of light were coursing through her entire body.
Hardly knowing what she was doing, she leaned forward, wanting to touch him. His smooth, tan skin felt warm and incredibly sensual under her searching fingers…and then she came to the waistband of his tight leathers.
The ridge of his cock looked so hard and achy and she couldn’t help remembering the night when she had gotten the nerve to reach between his legs and jerk him off. The big Kindred had seemed surprised and uncertain at first but soon he had been thrusting up into her fist and groaning her name in that deep voice of his.
At that time she had been telling herself she was simply obeying the Claiming Contract and that they were just friends with benefits. Now she could admit the truth to herself—she was crazy about Six and she wanted to show him so.
It wasn’t easy to concentrate while he was bathing her naked pussy with his hot, wet tongue but somehow she managed to unfasten the magnetic tabs that held his trousers closed. Before she knew it, the long, hard shaft of flesh with its broad, plum-shaped head was throbbing in her fist.
For a moment, Six stopped licking.
“Mei-Li?”
Looked down between her legs, she could see the uncertain expression on his face.
“Mmm-hmm?” she murmured, stroking the achingly hard shaft slowly up and down.
“What…what are you doing?” Six asked hoarsely, even as his eyes drifted halfway closed in pleasure.
“Just returning the favor, Six. You’re not the only one who wants a taste.”
Leaning down, Mei-Li gave the crown of his cock a deep, sucking kiss. God, he smelled delicious here—that dark spice that seemed to hang around him and come out more when he was feeling passionate was greatly intensified. The tip of his cock was already wet with precum and when she dragged her tongue across it, she could tell that it had the same, dark chocolate taste as his kisses.
Mmm, delicious!
“You…you don’t have to do that,” Six protested hoarsely. “I am well content simply pleasuring you without…you returning the favor.”
“Well maybe I want to return the favor. Mmm…” She licked him again, savoring his taste. Like salted dark chocolate… The skin of his cock was incredibly soft and yet hot and hard at the same time. Mei-Li felt powerful holding him in her hand, taking him in her mouth.
“But…Ah, Gods!” he groaned as she licked him again. “I don’t think…”
“Well, I do. You told me you would let me be in control this time,” she reminded him bossily. “This is what I want to do. Don’t you like it?” She swirled her tongue around the broad head of his cock, drawing yet another deep groan from his throat.
“Gods, yes—it is like nothing I have ever felt before!”
“Then just enjoy it…but don’t stop what you’re doing.”
“Of course not.” He pulled her down again, his big hands bracketing her hips eagerly and buried his face between her thighs.
Mei-Li gasped and almost forgot to kiss him as she felt his hot, wet tongue invade her pussy once more. But then she licked her lips and got another taste of his salted dark chocolate flavor. God, she wanted more of that—and she wanted to hear him moan and feel his gasps and groans as he pressed his mouth to her pussy.
Wanted to feel his hard shaft throb in her hand as she pleasured him.
The position would have felt awkward with anyone else—indeed, it was one she had never done before. But with Six it felt natural. Though he was so big and she was petite, their bodies seemed to fit together like two pieces of a whole.
The tide of pleasure was already building, tightening in her lower belly like a wire that would soon snap and deluge her in incredible, intense sensations. Mei-Li moaned as she felt Six’s tongue breach her entrance and thrust deep into her channel. God, it felt so good to have him in her—so right! And then she felt those warm metal fingers stroking between her folds, finding the sensitive button of her clit.
God, once he started the incredible vibrating thing he did with his metal enhancement, she wasn’t going to last for long! Leaning forward, she redoubled her efforts, wanting him to come with her when her orgasm finally hit.
It wasn’t a very good position for getting his cock into her mouth but he was so thick not much would have fit anyway. Instead, she concentrated on sucking just the head and stroking the long, throbbing shaft with her fingers.
Six seemed to appreciate her efforts because he groaned and pumped carefully up into her hand, pressing just a little deeper between her lips as though he longed to feel her mouth on him. Mei-Li obligingly sucked harder, swirling her tongue around his shaft and lapping away his precum, savoring his unique taste.
She had never wanted a man to come in her mouth before—even with Clem, who she had trusted more than any other man she’d dated, she didn’t find the idea of swallowing at all appealing. But with Six it was different—she loved the way he tasted and felt in her hands and mouth and she wanted to feel his ultimate pleasure. Wanted to taste him right from the source—the same way he so desperately wanted to taste her.
God, so good! Want you to come for me…come for me while you make me come…
It didn’t take long for her wish to be granted. Six’s tongue thrust even deeper inside her and then she felt the familiar, delicious buzzing of his fingertips sliding deliberately around and around her heated clit. With a gasp, the wire in her belly suddenly snapped and she was flying, soaring high even as she pressed down hard, riding his face shamelessly just as he had wanted.
Six seemed to sense her pleasure—maybe he could feel her tightening around him as the orgasm overtook her or maybe he could hear it in her cries. For whatever reason, he allowed her release to trigger his own. He gave a low growl and Mei-Li felt the first hard spurt of cum hit her tongue as the entire length of his big body went rock hard beneath her.
She swallowed eagerly, loving his taste, and pressed her pussy down against his tongue and fingers with a soft whimper of need. She seemed to come forever, the pleasure peaking inside her again and again, stretching out like a golden strand until she couldn’t breathe. And all the time she licked and sucked eagerly at Six’s spurting shaft, feeling him groan and gasp beneath her as he was overwhelmed by pleasure too.
God, so good…so good! Can’t stand much more, she thought deliriously. Indeed, she had come several times and her pussy was getting too sensitive to bear even the lightest touch anymore. Six was still hard but no longer coming and she wondered if he felt the same.
Again, the big warrior seemed to sense how she was feeling. He drew away and pulled her around to face him. Then he nestled her against his chest and wrapped his arms around her tightly. Mei-Li sighed contentedly and let herself melt against him.
“Gods, you taste good,” he rumbled. “And what you did to me with your tongue…it was amazing.”
“You were pretty amazing yourself.” Mei-Li looked up at him with a smile and licked her lips. “And you taste just like dark chocolate.”
“I do not know what that is.” He raised an eyebrow at her. “Is it tastier than garn?”
Mei-Li couldn’t suppress a laugh. “Sweetie, anything is tastier than garn. But you are especially tasty. Delicious.”
“I am glad you think so,” he murmured, dropping a soft kiss on the top of her head. “And I was honored to share pleasure with you.”
“I was honored too.” Mei-Li smiled up at him and snuggled closer. His hard chest made an amazingly comfortable pillow and she felt completely surrounded by his big, muscular body.
We belong together—we were meant to be with each other.
It was a silly, sentimental thought and yet it felt true inside her head. From the moment she had first seen the big Kindred in her dreams, she had been afraid of him. Afraid and yet drawn to him too. And now that he had admitted he felt for her as she felt for him, Mei-Li knew they could somehow make this work.
She had no idea how, though. Six would have to come back to Earth with her, she supposed and they would have to find him some kind of a job. What could he be? A bodyguard? A professional wrestler? Or maybe he would be a good engineer? She wasn’t sure exactly what he did at work but it sounded technical.
Also, Six would need tons of therapy to deal with his past. He might never remember all of it but as long as he was at least facing it, that was okay with her. As for this whole bonding thing, who needed it? It was probably just some Kindred religious mumbo-jumbo. She and Six were perfectly happy just as they were. They didn’t need to “soul bond” to make things better. Everything was going to be just fine…
“Excuse me, Six. I am sorry if I am interrupting your sleep, yes I am, yes I am,” said a voice from the viewscreen mounted on the far wall.
Looking up, Mei-Li saw a long, familiar hound-dog face staring at them from the screen.
“Yipper?” she gasped.
“Yes indeed, yes indeed.” The little Tolleg nodded vigorously, making his ears flop. Then he frowned. “May I ask, Six, why you and Mei-Li are lying half-unclothed on the floor instead of resting on the sousa?”
Mei-Li suddenly became aware that her nightdress was hiked up to her waist and Six’s trousers were still open.
“Oh my goodness!’ she gasped, sitting up and smoothing down the white lace gown quickly. “We, uh, didn’t expect to see you until the morning, Yipper.”
“I was told your need was urgent. I am finished with my surgery and ready to do your consultation now. Yes I am, yes I am.” He looked at Six. “If this is about your implant, I have a new emotion blocker I have just developed that is guaranteed to be absolutely foolproof. Yes it is, yes it is.”
“Oh, well, um…” Mei-Li wasn’t sure what to say.
Beside her, Six sat up.
“We will come at once,” he said. “We will meet you in your Enhancement Area.”
“Very well. I will see you soon. Yes I will, yes I will.” The little Tolleg nodded and the viewscreen went blank.
Mei-Li felt her heart sink. “So you’ve changed your mind again? Now that you admitted how you feel you’ve decided you want a new implant after all?”
“No, of course not.” Six was tucking himself back into his trousers but he stopped to frown at her. “Why would you say that?”
“Maybe because the last time you let yourself get, uh, emotional you kind of freaked out and decided to take me home and never see me again.”
“I was still having difficulties in accepting the fact that I was having emotions at all,” he pointed out. “For so many years I have considered feeling a crime. Not only that but a weakness. It was…hard to believe.”
Mei-Li put a hand on her hip. “So the way you feel for me is a weakness?”
He frowned. “It is hard to see it any other way. But as I said, weak or not, I do not want to stop.”
“You don’t? You’re sure?” Mei-Li asked. “What about the reason you’re feeling in the first place—your implant going bad? Won’t that mean you’ll continue to have bad dreams if you continue to have emotions?”
Six took her by the shoulders and looked her in the eye.
“I do not care how bad the dreams I have become. I will endure them. I do not want to lose these…feelings that I have for you.”
“All right, well…
I don’t want you to lose them either. I just hope in time you’ll see that emotions aren’t a weakness. It takes a very strong person to admit how they’re feeling.” She put her hand over his. “It was very brave, what you did tonight.”
“It was one of the hardest things I have ever done,” Six admitted in a low voice. “I told myself I would take you home and forget you—that I would bury your memory in the memory cache and never look at it again.”
“Why didn’t you? What changed your mind?” she asked softly.
He shook his head. “I do not know. Something about the dream…I cannot remember it but I do recall a sense of…loss that accompanied it. The feeling that something precious which could never be restored had been ruined or shattered. I did not want that feeling to be associated with you, too. I…I could not bear the thought of losing you.”
“Oh, Six…” Her heart ached for him. The naked pain on his face was almost too much to bear and yet she couldn’t look away. The fact that he was willing to go on having the nightmares just to be with her was touching and she supposed that she couldn’t expect him to get over his prejudice against feeling all at once. Stepping closer, she stood on tiptoe and put her arms around his neck.
“Mei-Li,” he murmured. “Lasai.”
She pulled back a little, frowning. “Lah-what? What does that mean?”
A look of confusion spread over his face.
“Lasai. I am not sure what it means. It is simply a word that came to me. It has…a good feeling about it.”
“Maybe it’s a word from your past. An endearment—like sweetheart or honey,” Mei-Li said.
He frowned. “That explanation makes sense but why would I wish to say that your heart is sweet? I have never tasted it—how would I know its flavor?”
She shrugged. “I don’t know, it’s just a nickname—a sweet little nickname to call the person you care about.”
“I find your pussy very sweet and delicious to taste,” Six said thoughtfully. “Would you like me to call you “sweetpussy”?”
“Uh, no.” Mei-Li had to stifle a laugh. “Let’s stick to Lasai. That sounds nice. I bet it means something really beautiful in your old language—whatever it might have been.” Of course she must have heard it when she watched his memories but though her translation bacteria allowed her to understand the words spoken, she had no idea what the language actually was.
