Chevon's Mate (10 page)

Chevon
put a hand on the controls but didn’t lock the doors yet. “If there is someone
else in
here then
they will not be getting out alive. They will become part of the landscape. I
am sure they will not be the first bodies used to fertilize this place.” Four
more crewmen bolted for the doors, nearly trampling over each other in their
haste. Then Chevon shut and locked the doors. “Now we are alone.”

She had to laugh. “Now, can we
get naked?”

“Soon,” he told her. He was
doing something else with the control panel. After a moment or
two,
he came back toward her. “The cameras
are now off. But if we damage anything in here I will lay the blame at your
quite adorable feet. You have really cute toes. I hadn’t noticed that before.”

“I’m glad you like my toes.”
She wiggled them. “And don’t worry, we won’t break anything. It’s only the
grass that I want to love you in.”

“I only say this because you
can get rather energetic,” he said. Grabbing her hips, he pulled her in
close
and gave her a kiss. “Did you plan
this well enough to consider that we will both end up with grass stains in
places not easily explained, and probably in our hair, too?”

She started to undo his shirt. “Do you honestly give two
craps if anyone sees that we have stains on our clothing?”

“As long as I don’t have any
stains on my uniform. The training runs deep, and we do not ever appear
to
others without the uniform being
perfect. The rest I don’t care about, but go easy on the uniform.”

“I will.” She pushed his jacket off of his shoulders and
took it into her hands, folding the jacket and placing it on the small bench so
that it would stay off of the grass. She smiled at him. “See, I’m keeping your
clothing safe, darling.”
Chevon
continued to stand in place, allowing her to disrobe him a piece at a time. He
looked amused when she got to the shirt cuffs, but after a
moment,
she figured out how they
fastened together.
Tricky
little thing, that, and different from Craegin wear.

“You wear too many clothes,” she teased with a grin. He
lifted a foot when she pushed his pants down around his ankles. Stepping free,
he helped her upright again. She had him naked now, just like she wanted him.
Her hands moved down his chest and over his abs. She leaned in so that she
could brush her lips to his chest. She closed her hands around his cock. “I
think that maybe you should strip me?”

Instantly his hands were on her
top, lifting it so she had to release him to get it over her head. A few
moments later she was entirely naked. With her clothes draped over his
arm,
he moved to the same bench where his
were
and set everything down on top of his.

“
Goodness,
you were far too fast with
that,
” she said with a laugh. “You are
supposed to enjoy yourself, supposed to touch me and feel me. I would love
that, you know, the feeling of you touching and caressing me.”

“I enjoy having you naked
more,” he said. Stepping in close, he slipped his arms around her
body
and pulled her up against him. “And
having you skin to skin with me is even more enjoyable than anything else for
me.”

“
Oh,
I couldn’t agree more. Especially when
your hands move to my ass.” She moaned after he had done just that. “I love how
that feels.” He cupped her ass, gave it a gentle squeeze, then lifted her into
his arms.
Chevon
was perfect for her in every single way.

Chevon
lowered her to the grass, his body covering hers. His head descended until
their lips made contact. A brush from his tongue and Laura opened to let him
in. The entire time he kissed her, one hand was busy stroking her folds and
toying with her clit while she squirmed.

She shuddered, lifting her hips
to his probing fingers.
“Chevon,
”
she begged when she’d pulled from his kiss. “More.” She hitched one leg higher
to wrap it around his ass and pulled him closer. “I want you inside of me.”

He didn’t argue with her like
he occasionally did.
This
time,
he moved his
hand
and pressed his cock into her sheath. In
unison,
they let out a moan. It always
felt so right having him buried inside her body.

Her toes curled, and she wound
both her legs around his hips and locked her heels at his ass. She had to have
him as deep as she could get him.
One hand came up to cup her face, his palm warm against her
skin. “I love you,” he said quietly. Giving her another kiss, he thrust faster
and harder. His thumb stroked slowly over her skin in time with their
breathing.

“I love you, too.” She shivered
at the feel of his hands on her body and whimpered. “More. Please?” she asked,
trying to move just a bit harder under him.

Trailing his fingers down her throat, arm, and eventually
landing on her hip, Chevon cupped her ass and tipped her higher. Each thrust of
his cock had the head rubbing to the nerves inside her body, causing her to
shiver. The higher he pushed her the tighter she clung to him, knowing it would
be, as always, explosive.

“Chevon, I’m close.” She
shuddered beneath him. “Please tell me you’re
close,
” she begged. Her fingers moved
down his back and she squeezed his ass tightly with her hands. “Make me come.
Come with me,” she demanded.

“Do that again and I’ll come
before you do.” He bit her lower lip in
retaliation,
then moved his mouth to her
throat. Little
licks
and nibbles down the length had her body coiling tighter with need.

She clenched hard on his cock.
“More. Fuck me, Chevon.” She didn’t want to be toyed with. She didn’t want soft
and easy. She wanted to be taken hard and knew he needed it as badly as she
did.

Her demand earned her a sharp bite
to her shoulder. But it also got her exactly what she wanted from him. Chevon
sped up his movements, his hold on her ass tightening to keep her from skidding
around the grass. Even with that
hold,
Laura had a feeling she’d have grass stains on certain parts to be discovered
later.

She dug her hands into the
grass under her body and held
on to
him with her legs only. “Yes,” she praised him with need. “More.” It was right
there; she was right there. She was so close that it would only take another
moment and she would be coming.

He gave her exactly what she
needed. Unable to hold back, Laura arched up with a scream.
Chevon
was right there with her,
thrusting twice more before he stilled and called her name. His body pressed
hers down to the grass, where they both fought for air.

She was gasping, dragging air
into her lungs as fast as she possibly could. “I love
you,
” she whispered as she held on to him.

“There is something squishy under my knee,” he blurted out.
Laura fought the laugh but ultimately failed. “You
’
re lucky I love you. But if I
have killed something vital to the ecosystem in here Petr will kill me. Stop
laughing, it is not that funny.”

She giggled as she moved away from him. She stood on shaky
legs and offered him her hand. “Come on, let’s see what you squished and I
’
ll even explain to Petr that it
was my doing.”

“Damn right you will,” he
muttered. Climbing to his
feet,
he bent over to stare at his knee. “All right, we’re good. Looks like some
leaves that were not cleaned up before they began to decompose. Disgusting but
no need to mention this to Petr. Ever.”

“
Oh,
something tells me that he and his
mate have come in here more often than not and done far worse than we’ve done,”
she teased.

Leaning in, he gave her a kiss. “I hate to rush you, but we
should get dressed and get the system back online. By now those crew members
may have mentioned where we were.”

“I’m sure they did since the
men you threatened to kill pretty much are likely running off to tell Petr
right now exactly what we were doing.” She was smiling; she couldn’t help it.
“Come on. Let’s get dressed. I’ll even check your hair for leaves.”

Chevon shook his head. “Turn around so I can brush you off,”
he told her. When she did, Laura felt his hands brush at her ass and shoulders.
Then his fingers lightly combed through her hair. “I think you will be all
right to dress now.”

She smiled back over her
shoulder at him. “I love the way that you touch me. Just so you know.” Once she
was
dressed,
she watched him pulling his clothes on and had to bite her lower lip. She loved
watching him getting dressed as much as she loved watching him getting naked.

“Quit ogling me and come along so we can head out. We should
continue with the tour you wanted so badly earlier. Let you see all the places
you have yet to see on my cruiser. This way you
’
ll know where you are going when everything is all clear
there.”
Hooking his arm through
hers, he
disengaged the
locks,
then spent a moment undoing
whatever he’d done to the cameras.

She shrugged. “I could go for
something to eat.”
Of course,
she was hungry now. She always seemed to be hungry after they made love.

For a second she thought he’d argue. He looked like he
wanted to argue with her, or at the very least say something. She had eaten a
large meal before they headed for the hydroponics bay, so she could understand
it. It was a testament to him that he held his tongue and waved her to the
lifts. The fact that he rolled his eyes, she let slide since he was going along
with her every whim. She moved so she could slip her hand into his and gave it
a squeeze. “When do we go back to your ship?” She was looking forward to being
able to leave the hood off. No more hiding.

“Tomorrow morning. We
’
ll visit with Bryerly, stay here overnight, have breakfast
with Petr and Samantha, and then return to the cruiser.”

Laura nodded. “By the way, you do know that I’m hungry again
because of how wonderfully you wore me out, right?”

“I think you just like to try the new foods and will find
any excuse to do so. Not that I will argue about it.”

“I do love trying new foods and new things.”

“There is still so much to show you. Especially now that you
’
ll have full freedom around the
cruiser. There are also a few things I still need to tell you, things that will
help you navigate the Imarian world when we return home. I’m rarely there, but
there are a few things you’ll need to know. Nothing too scary, unless you
consider high society scary.”

She stopped walking and looked up at him. “Uh, yes, I do
consider them scary.”

“
Well,
you will need to deal with them a bit.
You soul bonded extremely well. So well in fact that if you feel the need to
run away from them you can, and they cannot say anything about it. They will,
but we are not the sort to notice such things.
At least,
that’s the rumor.”
He shrugged.
“I don’t have time for
nonsense and ignore their prattling.” Chevon keyed open the doors to the
cafeteria and allowed her to go ahead of him.

That had her smiling and she
nodded. “I’ve sadly had to deal with society as a child and teen but once my
mother realized that I couldn’t handle the pressure of
it, she
allowed me to bow out of all
of the functions that I had to do. Thankfully, I still know how to function in
society. I just hate it. You might have to pamper me a bit after any function,”
she tossed out there with a grin.

“There are only two functions I make sure the ship is back
in port for. The first is in support of the wounded veterans, and the second is
for orphaned children. Everything else is for some frivolous cause that some
drunken matriarch has thought up. Well, not everything. There are a couple
others I send credits to because I can never be there to support them in
person.”

“Those are two very worthy
causes. For
those,
I will gladly stand by your side.” The thought of high society throwing a party
for any frivolous
reason,
however,
had her practically breaking out in hives.

“Once this training run is
complete,”
he continued, “we’ll have
several weeks where we will be home. Mainly to get to the country home to
relax, but we’ll need to spend a couple days in the capital for the orphaned
children event. Which means you will probably want to go shopping.”
