His hands had a mind of their own when they started to explore her lean, well muscled body. Kuarto knew by the shape of it that she took good care of herself. It always amazed him at how soft the skin could feel knowing the depth of the muscle. Hers felt like velvet against his fingertips. Her breasts, soft and pliant, begged for his lips. The heat of his mouth brought a shudder from her.

“That feels so good.” Her voice sounded deeper, laced with desire.

He liked it when his partner told him what they wanted. That way he didn’t have to guess. They had worked their way to his bed and he found he was the one being eased into it instead of the other way around.

She was in control and he wasn’t sure if he wanted to fight her. She knew what she was doing and what she wanted. Her smile was bright as she straddled him and eased herself down on his hardened staff. He heard her sigh as he filled her. Her body shuddered once again as she settled herself on him. If this was any indication it had been a while for her too.

She set a pace she felt driven to, sliding up and down his shaft with a fever he felt himself. Kuarto gripped her hips, helping to keep her from moving too fast. They strived for release together with Kuarto taking control. He didn’t want her to hit her climax too soon. Everything intensified as he moved within her. Her muscles constricted, gripping him like a vise he didn’t want to be released from.

Then he felt them. “No, not now.”

The two who messed with his life were feeling a little randy and he would be caught up in the moment quickly. Why couldn’t they just leave him alone?

Storm sat in his command chair, making sure everything was set up properly. He had three ships following his, and he had to be sure everything was going according to plan.

Especially if he got his way. He didn’t want to have to stop pleasuring his mate to have to deal with something going wrong.

Heather had asked him to make sure all the cameras were off earlier so he had hope. She wouldn’t have asked him to turn them off if they weren’t going to be intimate.

He hadn’t seen Heather in the last half an hour or so. She had been trained as his second in command as well as a medical liaison for the doctor, and she was very good at her job. Although he thought she would have been done a while ago she had remained busy. When he did finally see her, he was surprised to see her fully dressed.

“Problem?” He had hoped to have her naked and under him by this point.

“No problem, sir.” She addressed him as her senior, yet gave him the sultry smile of his mate. What was she up to? “Just have to make sure a few things are done before I turn my attention to you.”

He wasn’t sure why she would say that unless she was trying to get back at him for his comments earlier. She disappeared from sight again for a moment before she popped her head out. “So have you taken care of your end of the deal?”

Storm wasn’t sure what she was speaking about until he saw one of her arms, incased in a lace sleeve, wrap itself around the door frame. She had gotten out of her uniform already? He hit one button and smiled at her in anticipation. “Of course.”

“Good.” She had gone back into the room, taking her time and making him feel his need more. “Now, remember, you can’t touch until I say so.”

He had been waiting so long all he wanted to do was grab her and have his way with her, but she always gave him such a thrill with these outfits so he stayed in his command chair, gripping the armrests hard. “And if I disagree?”

“You really want me to answer that?” She popped her head out of the room she had absconded to. He still couldn’t see anything. “Didn’t you learn the answer to that about a month ago?”

“I really hate it when you threaten me like that.”

“I promise you will enjoy the outcome, my heart. I just know you and I need to be sure you won’t move when I come out of this room.”

“You saying this outfit is better than the red one?” He sat forward in anticipation.

“That one has always been your favorite, but you know I strive to come up with something you’ll like better.”

“That was my favorite because of when you did it. It will be hard to surpass that moment.” He closed his eyes as the memory washed over him. “You whipped open the simple dress and exposed something that got my undivided attention and made me wish I wasn’t someone of such high recognition.”

“And that is my goal every time. I want to make you forget who you are for just a moment.” She dimmed the lights and stepped out of the room so he couldn’t see what she had on easily.

“You know that’s not fair.” He stood.

“I’m just setting the mood.” She took a step toward him.

“I don’t need any mood lighting, my heart.”

“Really?” She pointed at his clothes. “I can’t tell with that uniform on you.”

“You’re right. It does kind of hamper things doesn’t it?” He pulled the uniform off and sat back down in his command chair. “Did I tell you I had this chair made for us?”

“Us?” She walked toward him slowly.

“It has these great features I created since I had hoped for moments like this.” He pressed a pedal with his foot and the arms of the chair slid back and down. A perfect place for her to place her legs when she straddled him, which was one of her favorite positions.

“I see.” She came close enough for him to see her outfit and paused. She held her breath as she watched his reaction. It took her a while to settle on this look, knowing he would say he loved it because he loved the fact that she went out of her way to create these titillating outfits. His desire to see her happy would have him saying he loved a burlap sack if she were to wear one. As long as he got her body afterwards.

He stood as he took in the outfit. The whole thing was made of a see-through black lace. The two pieces didn’t cover much except her arms. The lace covered from shoulder to about half way down her palms. It even had a small hole in the sleeves for her thumbs. The top was off the shoulder, hugging her across the collar bone then falling softly against her breasts. She felt it exposed a bit much of the bottom of her breasts but it didn’t look right if she extended it or made it hug her. So she ended up leaving it alone.

Storm didn’t say a word as he walked up to her. His hands skimmed along the edge of the lace top, grazing the soft tissue showing just below the material. His hands slid down her bare abdomen to the slight scrap of lace covering her hips. The material was a stretchy lace that hugged her like a skirt.

She had been afraid it would ride up as she moved, but it sat on her like second skin, barely covering her mound in the front, and exposing a touch of her derriere in the back. She was so grateful there was no one else on the ship who could inadvertently walk in on them. She wasn’t sure how she would have reacted if someone had.

He wrapped one hand behind her neck and pulled her to him, capturing her lips with his. The thrill from his quick movement sent a spark racing along her veins. His tongue plunged into her mouth, his desire for her evident. His fingers skirted along the edge of the material on her hips. They skimmed the inside of her thighs until he found her heat.

Her knees quaked a little as he slipped a finger or two up inside her.

He broke the kiss as he lifted her and carried her to the command chair. He climbed into the chair and sat her feet on each side of it.

“This is a beautiful outfit. One of my favorites.” He pulled her onto his lap, impaling her in the process. His eyes closed for a moment as the tightness of her sheath gripped him, taking his breath away. “You can wear this to greet me every day and you’ll get the same reaction each time.”

He placed his hands on her hips, helping her set a pace they both would like.

“Better than the red?” She tilted her head back as she got swept up in the emotions encompassing her. Each thrust filled her to the hilt, each time inching her closer to release. Her body shook with need. Every time they came together the mental bond between them got stronger.

“Same as the red.” He kissed her cheeks, one at a time. A soft chaste kiss as desire spiraled around them. His lips then claimed hers as he felt her body clinch and rocket out of control.

Kuarto felt his mind partner’s release grab him as Toki reached hers. It was an amazing thing to experience. Toki griped him in a vise like hold that made his body shake as he felt his orgasm start to build. Feeling both was a powerful thing, and he was riding on the wave that would bring him to his release. It had been a while so he knew it would be quick and overpowering. It started deep inside, muscles tightened and became stretched. The center of his want blossomed, filling him with a delicious shiver. His body quivered and he felt the world rock as he hit his climax.

He gasped as everything around him faded and he could only feel the free-fall sensation that filled him. Wind rushed past his face, danced along his body, making him feel pure joy flow through him. He had never felt a release this profound. It had to be his little mind guests’ fault, but this time instead of wishing they would leave him alone he reveled in it.

Toki sighed as she regained herself. “That was wonderful.”

“Glad you enjoyed it.” He started to pull out and found himself locked in an embrace he couldn’t break. She was deceptively strong for a woman.

“Where do you think you’re going?” she asked, her question innocent.

“I was going to give you a break?”

“I don’t want one. That felt too good for me not to want to do that again.” She brushed a few strands of hair out of his face. “Unless you don’t think you’re up to it.”

He could feel himself already growing hard. “Oh, honey, I’m up to it and this time I’m going to get more than a sigh out of you.”

Promise?”

He gave her a smile as he pulled her lips down to his.

The next day, Kuarto sat in his office, waiting for Guapo to show up. He knew the man would have purposely forgotten he had been kicked out last night and would hope Kuarto wouldn’t bring it up. Guapo’s history told Kuarto he would be pushing for him to meet with this new friend of his. Kuarto wasn’t sure why and that always made him leery. Knowing this man might know who he really was bothered him too, but now he’d just have to wait and watch.

He had told Toki to stay hidden until he sent for her. Hopefully, she would listen to him. He wasn’t happy about this new visitor, but wanted to be sure she was safe. He also wanted to know just how much the man knew about him. Find out how much danger he might be in.

Guapo walked in the door with a smile on his face. If anything, the man was punctual. Kuarto could see the glimmer of fear in his eyes. Guapo was hoping he had forgotten that he had kicked him out the night before. There was no hope in that.

“Thought I told you I didn’t want to see you today.” He glared at the slimy little man.

Guapo swallowed hard and kept going like nothing was wrong. “I wish you to meet my friend.”

“Go home and take your friend with you.” He moved about his cramped office, dismissing Guapo. Now it was time to see what he would do.

He didn’t seem happy with his comment, but instead of leaving, he just stepped aside as the man walked in.

The man who walked in didn’t fit any kind of look Kuarto would have expected. He was average height with fair skin. His light clothing was clean and expensive looking, well-kept blonde hair, eyes shielded by dark glasses. Kuarto wasn’t sure what he expected, but it wasn’t this smallish man.

“I’m sorry he has caused trouble for you. Anything I can take care of?”

“He insulted me and my bride last night. Doubt you can fix that.” Kuarto stood a good head taller than this man. He sat at his cluttered desk, ignoring them as he pretended to work on a few files.

“True, but I do have my ways.” He looked at Guapo who shook in his boots. “Don’t I?”

“What do you want from me?” What kind of power did he have to make Guapo afraid? Kuarto wasn’t about to give him the upper hand so he greeted him the way he always greeted strangers. He looked up from where he sat and glared at the man.

“I have heard you are the best doctor in these parts.”

“And where did you hear that?” He pulled a few more documents up and filed them so they wouldn’t block any other work he needed to focus on and waited to hear what he feared most.

“Around. Understand you were the best ever until you ran away from it all.” The man looked about his place like he had walked into the most non-sterile environment he had ever been in.

The man knew far more than he should. Kuarto had worked hard to keep his real past hidden, yet this guy knew things he didn’t want as common knowledge. But he wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of showing a reaction. “You don’t impress me.”

“I have something I think you might find fascinating.”

“Doubt it.” He wondered how fast he could get his guest to pack. They might have to get off the planet quickly.

“Try me.” He handed him a chip.

Kuarto looked at the chip, then the man before he inserted it into his computer. He watched a file pop up and opened it. Data streamed onto his screen as images started to load. The readings were off the scale. This embryo or egg was perfect, flawless. Something he would be excited to work on under other circumstances. He tried to act nonchalant. “Where did you get this?”

“You don’t need to worry about that as long as it’s mine.”

“And you have proof?” He looked at the man before turning his attention back to the data, amazed at its perfection. In all his years he had never seen anything quite like it. “Considering this is an egg and you’re not female, I find it hard to believe that it’s yours unless you grew this in a lab.”

“It doesn’t really matter since I am in possession of it, does it?” His attitude made Kuarto look at him again. Did he think Kuarto was going to drop to his knees and beg to be able to work on this?

“It does if you want me to help you with it.” He popped the chip out.

“Keep that. There’s nothing on there I don’t mind sharing. Once you work your way through the data maybe you will want to speak to me.” He noticed movement behind the door which made Kuarto look in the same direction.
