Wray

  ‘Goddess, there was nothing more beautiful than his Kim!’ He thought as his eyes feasted on the bounty revealed upon opening her shirt.

  Reverently, his large rough hands cupped her breasts, rolling them so her nipples became high, taut peaks that begged for his lips. Capturing one, he sucked it deep into his mouth and heard her gasp as she arched up, offering him even more. Biting down gently, he flicked his tongue across the distended nipple and was rewarded with a groan. Releasing it with a pop, he left the now engorged nipple to give its twin the same pleasure.

  Kim’s back arched, her hands fisting beside her head as Wray devoured her breasts. She wanted to pull his mouth away, the pleasure so intense she could barely stand it, even as she wanted to bring him closer and offer him more. Every tug of his mouth went straight to her womb, causing it to tighten and convulse, wanting something to fill it.

  “Wray…” she begged.

  “Shh…” Wray admonished softly, his warm breath bathing her wet nipple, causing it to tighten impossibly further. A smile of absolute satisfaction crossed Wray’s face before he slid further down her body, forcing her legs to release his hips so he could pay equal tribute to the rest of her amazing body.

  His teeth nipped at her delicate ribcage as his hands caressed the generous curve of her waist. Slowly he trailed his tongue across her abdomen feeling her tremble, stopping only to dip into the sexy indentation of her belly button. With each caress, the sounds of Kim’s pleasure grew, but her hands stayed where he had placed them.

  Sliding down so his knees rested on the floor, Wray found himself in a familiar yet uncharted territory. In this area, he had been taught how to satisfy a female had been taught what would bring her the maximum amount of pleasure in the shortest amount of time, allowing him to then find his own release, but that wasn’t what he wanted with Kim…

  This wasn’t about satisfying a need or creating offspring. This was about them… him and Kim… Joining. It was about becoming one in the truest sense of the word. The way the Goddess had always intended it to be and that couldn’t be rushed.

  In this, he wouldn’t allow Kim to rush him. In this, he would be the teacher, just as she had taught him to kiss, he would teach her how beautiful Joining could be and then together they would discover paradise.

  Lifting first one leg, then the other, he draped them over his shoulders opening up her beauty to his appreciative view. Goddess she was already glistening and swollen, her female nub peeking out at him through her soft curls.

  Using his thumbs, he carefully parted those curls, revealing a dark pink lusciousness that begged him to sample it. Lowering his mouth, he pressed his tongue against her female’s opening, sliding it back and forth teasing her and felt her clench in response before releasing her sweet nectar to him.

  “Wray….” Kim cried out, her hips bucking against his mouth.

  Ignoring her pleas, Wray drank his fill then, unable to resist any longer, he moved the short distance to her pulsing clit. Slowly his tongue circled the precious gem, teasing it before he latched on, sucking it into his mouth.

  “Wray!” Kim cried out. “Please, Wray.”

  Knowing what she needed, Wray slowly slid a thick finger deep into her core and felt her muscles clutch at him. Goddess, she was so tight, so hot and soft that his shaft tried to burst free from his pants. Slowly he started to withdraw his finger and heard her whimper in denial.

  While his mouth continued to work her clit, Wray raised his eyes and found she had risen up onto her elbows to watch him intently. Never breaking eye contact, he slipped a second finger into her tight sheath and watched her eyes darken. Her chest rose and fell in uneven pants as he spread his fingers, stretching her while rubbing that special spot he’d discovered before.

  He felt her heels dig into his back as her muscles started to tremble and he sucked harder on her clit, causing her hips to start pumping against his mouth. Wrapping an arm around those wild hips, Wray held her down, then slid a third thick finger into her just as he bit down lightly on her clit. The combination had her back arching off the bed and her release exploded through her as she screamed.

  “Wray!”

  Chapter Fourteen

  Kim collapsed back on the bed, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath. Goddess, the things her male could do to her, she would never get tired of it. Whenever Wray touched her, wherever he touched her, he gave her pleasure, made her feel special.

  Her entire being still tingled and throbbed, but she wanted more. She wanted Wray, all of him. Every time they were together, Wray made sure she was pleasured but refused to Join with her, not this time, this time she would know what it truly felt like to be a female.

  Opening her eyes, she rose up on her elbows to tell Wray that and discovered he was standing naked between her still spread legs. His engorged shaft bobbed heavily between his legs, pre-cum welling from its slit, his eyes were nearly black with desire, his jaw clenched with restrained need. Lifting her legs, she wrapped them around his hips, bringing him closer.

  “You are sure, my Kim?” he asked one last time, his voice so rough it was barely discernible.

  “Yes. Love me, Wray. Join with me. Make me yours.”

  Kim’s words had Wray growling, as he slid his shaft along her opening, coating it with her juices and his pre-cum gripping her hips, he lifted them aligning his shaft with her opening.

  “You are mine, Kim.” He claimed and with a shallow thrust embedded the head of his shaft inside Kim’s softness.

  “Yes, Wray!” Kim cried out her legs tightening around him trying to bring him closer.

  “No!” Wray ordered harshly dropping over her body, pinning her to the bed. “You will not rush me in this, Kim. I have waited too long for you.” Leaning down, he captured her mouth, slipping his tongue inside for a deep kiss as he pressed further inside her and felt her hot silkiness accepting him. Withdrawing, he pressed forward again and again until she accepted all of him. “Goddess, Kim!” He exclaimed ripping his mouth from hers, never in his life had anything felt as good as feeling Kim surrounding his throbbing shaft.

  “More Wray… please…” Kim begged rocking her hips against him and Wray’s control broke.

  Bracing himself on his elbows Wray pulled nearly out of Kim’s hot sheath before he surged back in, settling into a hard fast rhythm that she readily accepted.

  “Yes, Wray!” Kim cried out at the new sensations Wray was creating inside her, pumping her hips up to meet his. She felt her inner muscles tighten again as the pressure built inside her; she was going to cum again.

  Wray’s entire being was focused on the pleasure Kim was giving him, at the way her responses were driving his own pleasure higher, that it had him surging deeper into her. Her channel tightened around his shaft, gripping it like she never wanted to let him go. He knew he wasn’t going to last much longer as the pressure in his balls built to an unbearable level.

  “Wray!”

  Kim’s scream was Wray’s only warning as her channel clamped down fiercely on him, her hips surged up and her legs locked around him, forcing him in impossibly deeper. It was too much for his control.

  “Mine!” Wray roared, his release exploding through him and he filled her with his seed.

  Kim lay panting on the bed, her arms wrapped around Wray’s neck as he rested his forehead on hers. She never knew it could be like this, this feeling of oneness she knew she would only ever experience with Wray. It all made sense to her now. All those little looks, those little touches her parents would give each other. It had always seemed as if they had a secret and they did. They had this. This amazing feeling between them, this oneness, this knowing that they made each other whole.

  She finally understood what Jen had tried to explain to her that night of her eighteenth birthday. Jen had said that it had been better for her parents that they had died together… Kim hadn’t agreed… she did now. It would have destroyed one to be without the other.

  Wray braced himse
lf on his elbows to keep from crushing Kim as he rests his forehead on hers. What had just happened? He had never experienced such a massive release; it had been as if his entire being had tried to merge with hers. Goddess, it had been incredible. But what had happened when he’d been inside Kim? Had she really found her release a second time?

  “Kim?” He raised his head and gazed down at her, taking in her lips, swollen from his kisses and the satisfied look in the eyes that opened to him.

  “Hmm?”

  “What just happened?”

  “What do you mean?”

  “You released again.”

  “Oh, yeah.” She said smiling.

  “Is that normal for a human female?” He asked tentatively. “To release when a male is inside her?”

  “I…” Kim frowned up at him. “Uh… well yeah… or so I’ve been told… I mean I wouldn’t actually know personally but it’s what people say. What I’ve read. Don’t Tornian females?”

  “No.” Wray watched as his words caused the satisfaction to leave her eyes. “They only find their release when a male uses his mouth on them.”

  “Oh.” Suddenly uncomfortable Kim wiggled under him and looked away. “I’m sorry.” She said. “I didn’t realize it was wrong.”

  “No, Kim! Goddess, no!” Gripping her chin Wray forced her gaze back to him. “It wasn’t wrong! I thought it was amazing. More than amazing. It just surprised me, that’s all. To know that you could find your release while I was inside you… To feel you tighten around me. To hear how much you enjoyed having me inside you.” Just thinking about it had Wray’s shaft hardening again. “Goddess, Kim, I’ve never had such an amazing experience.”

  “Really?” she asked, tentatively moving her hips as she felt his shaft hardening again inside her.

  “Really. Now be still.” He said gruffly.

  “Why?”

  “Because when you do that, it makes me want to release inside you again.”

  “And that’s a bad thing because…”

  Wray looked down at her in shock. “You would allow that? You would not make me wait until after you have rested?”

  “That’s what a Tornian female would make you do, isn’t it. What Adana made you do?” Kim found herself pushing against Wray’s chest, trying to wiggle out from under him. She wasn’t Tornian, damn it! She was Kim and she was tired of always being compared to them!

  “I know who you are, Kim.” Wray said and she realized she’d spoken aloud. “And I am grateful you are not Tornian.”

  “Are you?”

  “Yes.”

  “Then kiss me, Wray. Love me.” She whispered, moving her hips suggestively against his.

  “You are sure, my Kim?” Wray asked even as his hips slowly began to thrust.

  “Yes… so good, Wray, that feels so good… don’t stop.”

  “Never, Kim. I’ll never stop.” And with that, Wray showed Kim just how he planned to love her, for the rest of their lives.

  The low lights of the resting chamber softly caressed Kim’s skin, especially the arm and leg she’d thrown over Wray as she slept. Carefully Wray pulled a thick blanket up around them, regretfully covering her glowing skin. He would need to increase the temperature of his rooms for her. He didn’t want her to become chilled.

  Trailing a gentle finger down her cheek Wray found himself amazed that this beautiful creature loved him. She was everything he hadn’t realized a female should be. She could be so strong and yet was gentle and loving. She could be demanding, but not selfish, not the way their females were. And she was the most stubborn female he had ever met when it came to her standing up for what she believed was right and she believed in him.

  He would not disappoint her.

  In two days they would arrive at Vesta, there he would deal with Lord Reeve and the mess he had caused with the Kaliszians and then he would take her home. Home to Tornian. He couldn’t wait to see her in his home, couldn’t wait to see her surrounded by its beauty and comfort. No longer would she be forced to do without, to wear only his shirts. He wanted to see her in beautiful coverings, wanted to see her walk in his gardens, wanted to see her stretched out on his bed wearing nothing at all. Goddess, he’d never let her out of it.

  He would take her before the House of Lords and proclaim her Tornian. Something that was rarely done. He hadn’t thought it would be necessary. As his Empress, Kim should have all the protection she would need but Fala and Gyula’s words had him rethinking that. There could be others who thought as they did and Wray would take no chances. Not with Kim. Proclaiming her Tornian would give her all the rights and protections any other Tornian female would have.

  Wray’s arms tightened at the mere thought of her at risk causing Kim to whimper softly in her sleep. Forcing himself to relax Wray allowed sleep to claim him.

  Chapter Fifteen

  “You’re going to leave me?” Kim couldn’t hide her shock or fear as she looked at Wray. For the last two days, he had barely let her out of his sight and then, only when she had insisted on going into the cleansing room alone to relieve herself. They had kissed and touched, had laughed and loved. She had felt like a pampered princess, no wait... an Empress.

  Wray had hand feed her an astonishing array of strange foods, each more different than the one before. Most she had liked, but a few, much to Wray’s amusement, she'd spit out and made funny faces.

  Now he wanted to leave her.

  “It is just for a little while, Kim. I need to go to the surface and deal with Lord Reeve. Once that is taken care of we can continue on to Tornian.”

  Wray had told her why they needed to stop on Vesta. Explained to her that the only reason he had been returning from the Kaliszian Empire was that Emperor Liron had wanted to meet with him to discuss Lord Reeve's failure in maintaining the steady flow of food supplies that were so vital to the Kaliszians. He also admitted it wasn’t the reason Liron had given him for the meeting and if he had known, he would have just sent Veron to deal with the complaint, but that the possibility of information on compatible females had drawn Wray to meet with him personally.

  He hadn’t understood why Kim’s eyes had darkened when he’d told her. Why she had grown extremely quiet. When he had asked, she’d refused to tell him. He should have pressed her further, but instead he told her was going to the surface and that upset her more.

  “You’re going to leave me.” She said again and turned away from him to wrap her arms around her waist. Goddess, she couldn’t believe she was feeling like this, as if she was being abandoned but she was. Wray had become her rock, her corner stone. He made her laugh, he held her when the nightmares came and kissed away her tears. He was the one thing in all the universes that she completely trusted. Without him, she was lost.

  “For less than a day, Kim. I’ll be back before you lay down to rest for the night.” Wray hadn’t liked the way she turned away from him, hadn’t liked how her arms had tightened around her. “For you to travel with me would not be…”

  “Normal for a Tornian female.” She finished for him. “Of course not.” Kim said running a hand through her hair and suddenly the tiredness she couldn’t quite shake settled over her again. “I think I’ll go lay down. I’ll see you when you get back.”

  Wray watched Kim walk away from him and his heart ached. He had seen the fear that had filled her eyes as she'd turned away. Didn’t she know he would never leave her unprotected? He planned on Veron staying behind to guard her, much to the Captain’s displeasure.

  There was no way he could take her to Vesta with him. What would she do there? Currently there was no Lady in House Reeve so there would be no female for her to talk to and because of that she would need to stay with him. That would be a distraction for the males of Lord Reeve’s House.

  ‘The clothier is still there.’ The words whispered through his mind.

  Frowning, a new thought came to him.

  If he took Kim with him, they could stay in House Reeve for several days. She would b
e able to rest in more comfortable surroundings than the Searcher provided and then she would be able to arrive on Tornian rested and in the coverings of an Empress instead of in one of his shirts. He knew it bothered her to wear them, especially when other males were present. It was obvious in the way she would tug and pull at it whenever a warrior would enter their chamber to discuss something with him. She would find a reason and quickly leave the room.

  What he was considering had never been done before. A male rarely allowed his female to travel with him and never to a House without a female. It gave the other males a chance to attract her.

  They would allow them to travel to a House where a female was present so the females could intermingle and all females traveled to Tornian when the Assembly was called, even though he had no Empress.

  Yet wasn’t he the Emperor?

  Couldn’t he change the rules?

  Kim didn’t want to be left alone.

  He didn’t want to leave her alone.

  It was to her benefit to meet with the clothier and have coverings made and that was all that mattered to Wray.

  Lord Reeve would just have to adjust his House to the needs of the Emperor and Empress.

  Moving to his comm Wray notified Veron of the change in plans and told him to inform Lord Reeve. Turning, he went to inform Kim.

  Kim laid on the bed with her back to the door and tried to fall asleep but it wouldn’t come. She understood why Wray was leaving her behind, just as she understood he wasn’t leaving her behind. There were going to be times when they would be separated. She knew that. Wray was an important male with an important job and big responsibilities. She needed to understand that… she just didn’t feel safe here… not without Wray. Maybe it was stupid, after all she was surrounded by Wray’s warriors, warriors he claimed were fit and worthy, but she couldn’t help it. She wasn’t ready to trust them, wasn’t ready to be separated from Wray, maybe she never would be.
