Razor's Traitorous Heart

  In that moment, she knew that she did. Everything that he had done in the short time since they had met flashed before her. His insisting that she leave him in the helicopter because he feared for her. His grabbing her and holding her when she almost fell. The exasperated humor in his eyes when she played with his hair. The way he made love to her like there was no other woman in the universe but her. So many clues came together all the sudden, including the one time he told her he loved her. He had meant it.

  “You love me,” she breathed out, looking up at him in wonder. “You really do.”

  A soft groan escaped Razor as he cupped her face in his hands and claimed her lips with his. He poured every ounce of his feelings into it. The kiss turned to desperation when her hand slipped between them to cup him through his trousers.

  “I love you, Kali,” he murmured. “I love you. I need you.”

  “Yes,” she cried out when his hand cupped her breast and pinched her nipple through her shirt.

  “I want you,” he muttered as he reached down and grabbed the bottom of her shirt and pulled it over her head. “Now!”

  Kali giggled as her hands went to the clasps holding his shirt on. She felt wild and… free. Her eyes glittered with amazement. She didn’t need to run. She just needed Razor!

  “I need a shower,” he grunted. “I…”

  Kali laid her fingers against his lips. “Then, we’ll get a shower together.”

  Razor’s eyes flared with desire. He quickly finished undressing. He knelt in front of her when she cursed as her left pant leg got caught around her foot. He gently took her hand and placed it on his bare shoulder to steady her as he loosened the bunched-up fabrics and pulled it off of her.

  “You are so beautiful,” he whispered, staring up at her.

  It was true. She was beautiful. It was more than the physical attraction he felt for her. It was the warmth and humor and love in her eyes when she looked at him. She glowed from the inside out with a beauty that surrounded him with the pureness of it.

  He closed his eyes as she tenderly ran her fingers along his cheek. Breathing in the heady scent of her arousal, he pressed his face against her flat stomach. It wouldn’t be flat for long. Pressing a kiss to her skin, he prayed to the Gods that she would be alright. For the first time in his life, he realized that he needed someone, he needed Kali, to make his world richer. She brought color into it that he hadn’t realized was missing. He slowly opened his eyes to stare up into hers and what he saw took his breath away.

  “So are you,” she whispered, pulling him up. “So are you, Razor.”

  Chapter 25

  Razor rose to his feet. He swept Kali into his arms, enjoying her husky laughter as he turned her around in a circle before he walked toward the bathing room. It was larger than the one back on Earth, but not by much. He still couldn’t wait to get her into the one at his home on Rathon.

  He set her on her feet so he could program the mist controls. Instead of wasting precious water, the Journey used a cleansing mist that condensed like water before evaporating. He pulled her into the rounded bathing cylinder and closed the door.

  He enjoyed her giggles as he ran his hands over her slick body. The mist surrounded them, making their bodies slick. The feel of her silky skin against the rough palms of his hands sent an explosion of heat through him. He bent, running the tips of his fingers over her sensitive nipples at the same time as he nipped at her throat.

  Her hands were driving him wild. She was running them up and down his chest. With each stroke, she went lower and lower. His lips crushed hers when her hands wrapped around his throbbing length. The kiss turned more and more desperate as she stroked him.

  His hands slid around her damp skin and he ran them along the line of her ass. His breathing grew heavy when she arched as he ran his fingers along it. He slipped his right hand down between her legs to make sure she was ready for him. His fingers pushed past her swollen lips and slid into her. A low moan greeted his exploration. Cupping her ass with his left hand, he pushed deep into her.

  “I want you bare for me,” he muttered. “I want to taste you, devour you.”

  It took a moment for Kali to understand what he was wanting. When she did, a wanton feeling of desire scorched through her pulling a deep moan from her as it shot down through her. Razor’s muttered curse told her he could feel her body’s reaction to his suggestion. She knew other women back on Earth shaved their pubic areas. Hell, she had even tried it when she was sixteen after hearing some of the girls at school talking about it.

  “Do it,” she whispered, raising her hands to cup his face. “Shave me.”

  She watched as Razor’s eyes widened before they turned a dark, dark yellow gold that left her pulsing with need. She was ready to come just from him touching her. She didn’t know if she would make it through him shaving her as well.

  “Wait here,” he grunted as he pulled his fingers from her. A wicked smile curved his lips as he raised them to his mouth and sucked on them. “That is what I want.”

  Kali leaned weakly back against the wall of the shower as he opened the door and stepped out for a moment. Her eyes greedily roamed his body. She wasn’t sure her legs would be able to hold her up, but she would damn sure try. Her mouth parted in a gasp when the shower door opened again. This time she was given a full frontal view that left her own mouthwatering. The man was built. There was no denying that he was a fully aroused male. His cock was long, thick and throbbing up and down. The head was larger around than a human male and she knew she felt small ridges circling it.

  “Razor,” Kali breathed wondering how on Earth she was able to fit him inside her before. He looked massive now. “I...”

  “Spread your legs for me,” he growled.

  “I...” Kali moaned as she grasped his shoulders for balance as he lifted her left leg and slid it over his shoulder. “Razor... that feels so good.”

  Razor didn’t say anything. He couldn’t. The view of Kali spread open for him sent his heated blood straight to his cock. Right now, he felt like his balls were about to explode if he didn’t release the pressure. He quickly flicked on the shaver he used. The laser would remove the hair and keep it off for several weeks before having to be redone. He had never opted for a permanent removal as it had never been necessary. If Kali liked the feel of being bare, he might see if she wanted it to be permanent. For now, he just wanted to taste her.

  He carefully ran the laser over her swollen mound. Within minutes, her smooth, soft folds begged for his lips. He ran his hands over her, enjoying her cries as he touched the ultra-sensitive flesh. His fingers caressed the narrow slit, stopping at the swollen nub near the top of it.

  “I love this,” he murmured, rubbing it gently.

  “I.... Oh God, I’m going to come!” Kali cried out hoarsely as he continued to rub her. “Razor!”

  Razor watched as Kali’s body exploded around his fingers. He leaned forward and clamped down on her. His teeth pinched the soft nub. Kali’s hoarse scream echoed in the bathing unit as she came hard. Razor ran his tongue along her slit until he could push it up inside her and drink as she continued to pulse around him. Only when she started to slide down along the shower wall did he release her. Pulling her leg from around his shoulder, he rose on shaky legs to catch her around the waist.

  He twisted and turned off the mist. Wrapping his arm around Kali’s limp body, he slid the door open again. This time when he stepped out, he took Kali with him. He bent and lifted her in his arms. Turning, he quickly walked back into their sleeping quarters and laid her down on the large bed.

  “I need you now, Kali,” he said hoarsely.

  “Whatever you want, big guy, I’m still soaring right now,” Kali said with a satisfied grin.

  She gasped when he rolled her onto her stomach and wrapped an arm around her waist so he could pull her up onto her hands and knees. A loud moan escaped her when she felt his other hand guide his throbbing cock to her slick entrance.


  “Oh God,” she groaned as he pushed into her with one thrust.

  “Yes, sweet Goddess,” he groaned with her. “You wrap around my shaft like a fist, Kali. I love your heat.”

  “Razor,” Kali whimpered.

  “Yes, my fi’ta.”

  Razor closed his eyes as he began rocking back and forth inside her. He could feel every delicious inch of her against his cock. The muscle in his jaw throbbed as he clenched his teeth in an effort to bring her to another climax. He wanted to feel her shatter around him. Just the thought pulled at his control and he felt the small spurt of pre-cum.

  A shudder escaped him as he fought to control his release. Opening his eyes, he gripped Kali’s hips and began moving faster. The view of her slender back bowed as she tangled her fingers in the covers drove him to the brink.

  Turning his head to the side, his eyes widened as the mirror on the wall caught their entwined bodies. In fascination, he watched as he drove into her. The movement of their bodies was an exotic mating dance between a male and his female.

  Feelings of possessiveness, pride and the primitive male triumph of claiming his mate washed through him like a tidal wave. He slowed his rhythm so that he could watch as his cock slid back and forth into Kali’s slick channel. Her breasts swayed as they came together. Reaching around, he captured one taut nipple between his fingers. Rolling it between them, he was rewarded when she lifted her ass even higher and threw her head back.

  Her face was tense with emotion. Her eyes were closed, her lashes lying like crescents against her flushed cheeks. Her lips were swollen from his kisses and slightly parted. She looked like a woman caught in the thrones of passion.

  Kali turned her head and opened her eyes. For a split second as their eyes locked, it was as if he could see the stars from the universe opening to give him a glimpse of what it meant for a new world to be born. He felt like that. He felt like he was being reborn and being given a chance at a life that he had only dreamed about before.

  As he pushed deeply into her, his body exploded. His orgasm triggering hers. The combination of the two of them shattering, mixing, becoming one took his breath away. He wrapped his arms around her, cupping her breasts and pulling her tighter against his body.

  There in the mirror, they continued to stare into each other’s eyes; their bodies locked together as one. Razor bent and pressed a kiss to her shoulder before he opened his mouth and bit down on the curve of her neck. The chemical in his saliva would numb the pain as he marked her and help with the healing.

  Watching as her eyes widen and her body reacted to his claiming stiffened his cock and he rocked into her as she exploded again. Her hot core, already slick from her orgasms and his seed, pulsed around him as he drove into her again and again as he held her submissively against him as he took her. He didn’t release her until his seed was once again filling her womb. His scent was now a part of her own.

  He reluctantly released her neck, licking the small marks he had left against her creamy skin. He slowly bent forward until she was lying flat as he covered her sleeping figure. He made sure to keep his upper body up enough to keep from crushing her.

  It took several minutes for his breathing to return to normal. He carefully pulled out of her. Kali moaned but didn’t wake from the deep, exhausted sleep she had fallen into. Razor rose and walked to the bathroom. Returning, he cleaned Kali up before crawling back into bed with her. He drew her against him, sighing as she snuggled closer to him.

  Razor looked up at the ceiling. His mind was swirling with all that had happened over the past few months. A smile curved his lips as he thought of the female in his arms. She was everything a warrior could dream of and more.

  Chapter 26

  Two weeks later, the comlink next to Razor’s side of the bed chimed, waking Kali from a sound sleep. She lay quietly as he reached for it and tapped it. Her hand slid across his flat stomach as he carefully rolled out of the bed. Her eyes lit with desire as she eyed his firm ass.

  “I can feel you watching me,” he murmured in amusement.

  “How can I resist?” She replied, sitting up and letting the sheet pool around her waist. Her nipples hardened in the cooler air. “I’m not the only one looking.”

  “You are going to be the death of me,” he muttered, as his body hardened with desire. “I can’t get enough of you.”

  Kali pulled the covers up to cover her exposed breasts. She chuckled when his eyes followed the movement and he released a sigh of regret when his comlink chimed again. She rose from the bed, grabbing her wrap and slipping it on so she could follow him into the other room.

  He glanced up at her as she stood in the doorway in indecision. A smile softened the frown on his face and he held out his hand to her. The moment their fingers touched, he drew her up against him even as he answered the call.

  “Speak,” he said.

  “We passed into the Tessalon galaxy eight hours ago. We will arrive at the moon furthest from the Bruttus Spaceport in less than an hour,” Hammer stated.

  “I’ll be on the bridge in fifteen,” Razor replied. “Out.”

  Kali rested her head against his shoulder after he turned and pulled her closer. “Is this where you think Jordan might be?” She asked.

  Over the past two weeks, Razor had shared the mission they were on. He had told her more about Hunter and how his brother had taken Jesse as his Amate two years before. Jesse’s two younger sisters had been embraced in their family. Kali liked how Razor referred to all the women as his new sisters.

  She had learned a lot about Razor and what life was like on board a Trivator warship. She learned that to have a family was the greatest gift a Trivator warrior could be ‘blessed’ with. It was something they all hoped to one day find. While they had relationships, just like the men and women back on Earth, when a warrior recognized his Amate he gave up all others and devoted his life to caring for and protecting her. It was just going to take Razor a little while to accept that she had every intention of caring for and protecting him as well.

  “Yes, I must leave for a short time. It would be dangerous for Trig, Jordan and Dagger, if they are there, for a Trivator Warship to be seen. We have come in cloaked so they are not aware we are here. Unfortunately, it is too dangerous to bring the Journey in any closer where it could be seen. There is too much traffic arriving and departing from the Spaceport to take a chance,” he explained before pressing a kiss to her forehead and releasing her. “Why don’t you try to get some more rest. You were sick yesterday morning.”

  Kali pressed a hand to her stomach and nodded when it turned. She had her first bout of morning sickness the day before. She had to beg, then threaten Razor when he started demanding that Patch be called. Thankfully, it had only lasted for about half an hour, then she was fine.

  “I think that is a good idea,” she said with a tired sigh. “How long will you be gone?”

  “Hopefully just a few hours,” Razor said, pulling on a pair of dark brown trousers and a matching vest. He grinned when he saw Kali’s raised eyebrow at the unfamiliar clothing. “We will try to blend in as much as possible. Hammer is known here.”

  Kali had met the commander of the Journey just once. That had been one time too many. The man made her think of a caged lion who hadn’t been fed in a while. He was quiet and his eyes had followed her with a look of suspicion in them, as if he was trying to figure out what power she had over Razor.

  “Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Hammer being known,” she added with a grin when he raised his eyebrow in question.

  A deep chuckle escaped him as he finished fastening his shirt. He stepped closer to her and brushed a kiss across her lips. That was another thing he loved, her sense of humor. She always knew what to say to release the tension.

  “Both,” he admitted. “More good than bad, I hope.”

  “Oh, that is sooo reassuring,” she drawled before turning more serious. “Just be careful.”

  Razor paused as he pulled on a
pair of soft, leather boots that matched his trousers. His expression softened when he saw the slight worry in her eyes, but the smile on her lips. Thomas’ words came back to him when he talked about Chelsea and her work as an FBI agent.

  He suddenly understood what Thomas was trying to tell him. It wasn’t just him accepting Kali, but her accepting and trusting him to do what needed to be done. He straightened and held his arms out. He inhaled her sweet scent as she stepped into his arms. Resting his cheek against her hair, he wondered how he had ever survived with the emptiness in his life before.

  “You are an amazing female, Kali,” he whispered, enjoying the feel of her in his arms. “Your scent is changing. It is slightly sweeter, more exotic.”

  Her body shook as she laughed silently into his chest. She wasn’t so sure that was the best compliment she had ever received in her life; but then, it had to be the most unique. She tilted her head back and offered her lips to him. For a guy who thought kissing was rubbing his nose against her, he had picked up the human way of kissing very quickly. She moaned as he pulled away.

  “I’ll return in a few hours. Go rest,” he encouraged. “Hammer and I will be careful.”

  “I know,” she whispered.

  A deep sigh escaped her as he picked up a leather belt filled with weapons as he walked by the table near the door. She didn’t turn back toward their bedroom until the door sealed behind him. A yawn escaped her as she climbed back into the large bed. Within seconds, she was fast asleep.

  Chapter 27

  Kali bit her bottom lip again as she looked around the bridge. This was her second trip up to it in the past two hours. The silence that greeted her this time told her something was wrong. Something was very, very wrong. She recognized the looks. God, she had given it enough times over the past six years to know what it meant.
