Cecilia's Mate Read online

  Laughing softly, he pressed her back to the tile of the shower cube. “Always, Cecilia. Every single time I see you I want to devour you. Every moment we are together it’s a fight not to strip you naked and take you.” Finally he leaned in closer so his lips were against hers. “Kiss me,” he whispered.

  She didn’t speak. Instead she leaned into him and kissed him with all of the desperation and need she had bottled up inside. She held him tightly and rubbed as much of her body against him as she could and rejoiced in that kiss.

  One of his hands came up to cup her head as he took back control of the kiss, softening it slightly. It was no less desperate, but it wasn’t quite so emotionally ragged. “I love you, Cecilia,” he muttered against her mouth before taking another kiss.

  Her heart sang at the sound of him telling her that he loved her. She pulled back and tightened her hold on his waist. “Please, Sir, I need you.” Her pussy was dripping and her body was greedy for him.

  “Guide me into your body. Take my cock and slide me into your wet little pussy. Show me how wet you are for me, Cecilia.” Pressing a kiss to her cheek, he brushed his lips along her jaw until he nipped lightly at her chin.

  She loved when he talked to her like that. She reached between them and grabbed his dick. “I love how hard you are.” She moaned. “Always.” She shifted her leg and opened herself wider to him. Then she took him into her body. “Oh yes.” She moaned and rocked onto him just a bit, taking him a little deeper, only to let him slide out a bit before she took him deeper again.

  “That’s it, little one. Ride me as you want,” he said. He moved his hands down to her ass to hold her weight up but let her do all the work with her arms and legs around his body. When she slid down his cock he rocked his hips to meet her, pushing in deeper than she could manage on her own.

  She moved a bit harder. She rocked him in and out of her body while peppering kisses along his cheek and neck.

  His hands flexed on her ass, squeezing the flesh tightly. “You’re killing me here, Cecilia,” he said. A low growl followed his words, sending a thrill through her body. Draven put his mouth to her shoulder to begin nibbling on her flesh, adding another piece to the sensory deluge she was wrapped within.

  His teeth biting into her shoulder lightly had her gasping and moving harder and faster on him. She loved the way this felt, making love in the shower. The water that pelted against her skin and the heat of him there as well. It was perfect.

  “You like that little bite of pain, don’t you?” he asked. At her low moan he scraped his teeth to her skin a little harder. “By the stars, you are beyond perfect for me, Cecilia. How in the universe I got this lucky I’ll never know.”

  “I don’t know, but you did.” She moaned when he bit her again. “Yes, I love the small bites of pain. I need it right now.”

  “I’ll always give you whatever you need, Cecilia.” He lifted her higher and began to thrust harder, faster. He nipped at her throat before sliding his tongue over her damp skin. She gasped, moving with him.

  Lifting his head, he caught her lips for another kiss. He sucked on her lower lip for a moment before letting it go. Then he pulled his cock from her body and eased her down to her feet. “Turn around and hold on to the bar,” he told her.

  She did as he instructed and gripped the bar. The move put her ass out and back bowed. “Like this?” she asked, pushing against him.

  “Exactly like that,” he rasped. He ran a hand over her back and down to her ass. A sharp slap landed on first one cheek, then the other. “Spread your legs and arch your back more. Make sure your grip is solid on that bar, Cecilia.” His cock rubbed over her folds.

  She braced her hands apart on the bar and widened her stance.

  He slapped her ass again, four smacks in quick succession. Then he rubbed the head of his cock from her clit to her anus and back again, over and over. Finally he pressed it to her opening and pushed in deep.

  “Yes!” The word was a soft yelp. “Thank you, Sir. More please.” She was begging him. “So good.” She couldn’t believe how his rough handling was sending her pleasure through the roof.

  He gave her what she wanted, warming her ass so that tingles shot through her even as a low throb settled into her buttocks. Between each slap he thrust his cock into her. After a time he rubbed his hands to her ass, stroking the skin, rubbing a finger to her anus before working it in a little. His finger probed deeper into her anus, making her toes curl against the tile under her feet. He delivered another blow to her ass, thrusting his cock in deep in her pussy.

  She didn’t have the words to express just how fabulously that felt, having him sliding deep in and out of her body. Every single touch, every thrust and every caress had her flying.

  “Do not come until I tell you,” he said in a rough tone. He gripped her hip tight in one hand while thrusting faster. Every drag of his cock through her folds taking her higher.

  She moved with him, her body moving along with his and anticipating his movements. She loved this close attachment she had with him, the way her body seemed to know just what he needed.

  Draven’s hand slid around her waist to cup her mound. One of his fingers slid over her clit to rub and flick at the tight bud. Then he pinched it, tugging lightly in time with every thrust of his hips.

  She gasped and forced herself to think of her breathing only.

  “That’s good, Cecilia. You’re doing well. Hold on a little longer.” Draven pumped faster, forcing her to push against the bar she was hanging on to. It pushed him in deeper each time he moved. His fingers on her clit pinched and rolled the tight bud. “Come for me, little one. Come now.”

  She didn’t have to be told again. Cecilia screamed as her orgasm washed over her. She sobbed his name with the desperation of a woman fully sated, pushing back hard against him so that they were both as close as two beings ever could be.

  He followed her over the edge, flooding her sheath with his seed. An arm slid around her waist to hold her close to him. She felt his lips drift over her shoulder as they both fought for air. “Amazing,” he finally croaked out.

  “Amazing,” she agreed. This was them together, in all things.

  “We need to shower, and then we are going to go and fall into bed.” Drawing out of her body, he rubbed a hand over her back.

  “That sounds like a great plan.” She grabbed the soap and began to wash her body, passing it to Draven so that he could clean himself too. “Bed does sound wonderful right now.”

  “That’s because we’re both exhausted. Given what happened today I can’t believe we haven’t collapsed before now.” Setting the soap aside, Draven ducked under the water and rinsed off quickly before turning the flow off and sliding open the door for her to step out onto the drying mat.

  She wasn’t going to argue that. “Food next, please.” She passed him a towel and winked at him as she watched him over her shoulder. “Come on, food and sleep.”

  After drying off he followed her into the other room. Draven pulled on a pair of loose pants and handed her one of his shirts. At her look, he shrugged. “I don’t think I can concentrate on food if you’re sitting there naked while I’m attempting to eat.”

  Grinning, she accepted the shirt and slid it over her head.

  “After you,” he said with a small bow her direction. His chuckle followed her into the other room as she shook her head at him.

  Chapter Nine

  “Bracken, seriously, I’m about to beat you if you make me go through this hallway one more time.” For the last half hour her brother had dragged her from one end of the ship to the other, stopping and pointing out practically every single rivet and bolt in the place. “And don’t say that we haven’t been down this hall. We have. I know we have.”

  “If you’re sure,” he said. Suddenly he held up a hand, putting his other hand to his ear. “Copy that, on our way.” Bracken shot her a grin, took her hand, and started to pull her back up the corridor once more. This time at le
ast he appeared to have a purpose before stuffing her into the lifts.

  “So where are we going now?” she asked as she leaned back against the back wall of the lift and watched her brother rocking on his heels. She could see the grin on his face through the reflection on the doors of the lift and it made her all the more curious.

  “You shall see,” was all he’d give her. He did shoot her a look full of mischief that had her curiosity ratcheting up a notch. “And we are here. Come along now.” Not that he gave her a lot of choice since he took hold of her hand and tugged her down a very familiar corridor. It led to the antigravity rooms she loved so much.

  “Are you actually going to come in with me this time?” she asked with a grin and reached for the spare suit that was there so that her dress didn’t go floating up around her neck again. “Is this why you’ve had me all over the place? Waiting on the room to open?”

  “No, and no. You won’t need the suit either,” he told her. Taking it from her hands, he put it back in place and handed her a couple clips. “That’ll keep it from going up around your ears. Now, when you go in, go slowly since I have no clue what the ever-loving stars he’s done in there.” Leaning in, he pressed a kiss to her cheek, then turned and hurried off with a wave over his shoulder.

  She frowned at that and shrugged. Okay, she had no idea what was going on but she trusted her brother and knew he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her. She stepped into the airlock before the antigrav room and pressed the release for the room. When she floated in she gasped. She turned around and round and laughed. “Draven?” She saw him there in the room, along with the bubbles that floated everywhere, flowers floating in the room as well. It was utterly incredible. “What is this?”

  With an obviously practiced move he floated slowly toward her, hooking his arms around her and twisting in mid-air to approach a wall with his feet. “Hello, little one,” he said with a smile. Pressing a kiss to her lips, he floated them back toward the middle of the room. Along the way he snagged something drifting nearby and passed what turned out to be a little box to her. “Given how creative several others have been with their proposals I had to come up with a way to outdo them all. I know how much you love your time in here and thought this would be the perfect place to ask for your hand in marriage, officially.”

  She gaped at him. “Really?” She looked down at the box in her hands and felt like tearing up. “You are so good to me. You always know exactly what I want and what I need, don’t you?” This proposal was the perfect one for her. He’d managed to incorporate everything she loved into one thing. “Yes. Yes, you silly, wonderful man. I will marry you and keep you forever.”

  “Thank the stars,” he muttered. Then he kissed her as they continued to float across the room. He pulled back with a smile. Very carefully he drew the ring from the box and slipped it onto the finger she offered up. “Out of curiosity, how exactly did your brother keep you occupied while I set this up? He never did tell me his part of the plan.”

  “He dragged me from stem to stern on the ship. Up one corridor and down another. He was about to get beaten is what was going to happen. He led me down to the water purification deck and had them explain to me the way that they purify the water. I could have beaten him.”

  Draven burst out laughing at that, hugging her in closer to him. “I’m sorry, little one. When he said he’d help distract you I didn’t think to question what tactic he’d be using. Next time I require his assistance in something to surprise you I’ll be sure to get some details. Both to keep you from being bored and to keep him from being dropped unconscious to the deck plating.”

  She wrapped herself around Draven as they floated in the zero grav chambers. “This is perfect. What made you think this up?”

  “I knew this was one of your favorite spots on the ship. Once I had a location all I had to do then was figure out how to get everything in here and set up. Without letting you know I was up to anything and without you arriving mid-preparation. Since I had to have the gravity turned back on for the initial setup it was pretty important. Then they turned it all off, and I very carefully got everything into place. I’ll tell you, though, the blasted bubbles were the worst. They really don’t like this scenario all that much. Or maybe it was my technique. Either way.” He tipped his head to the side and shrugged. “It all worked out, in my opinion.”

  “It’s perfect,” she said, touching a passing bubble to watch it pop and the liquid float away. “I love it. It’s so much better than being on a knee. This is something we’ll be able to tell our grandchildren and have it be a story for all time. This is a true love story ending, the prince asking his princess to marry him.”

  “I don’t know about the prince part, but you are definitely my princess,” he said softly. He pressed a kiss to her lips as they drifted toward a wall. With a hand he pushed them back off and toward the door. “As much as I want to make love to you, I’m not prepared to attempt it in here and risk a concussion. So I think we should retire to our quarters since Bracken has agreed to give me the day off so that I can make sure my future wife knows how much I love her and need her.”

  “He’s such a softie,” Cecilia said with a grin. “Now you can take me back to our rooms and show me that I made the right choice when I said yes.” She’d known she made the right choice before he ever asked her. Draven was her very soul and he was someone that she was keeping, forever.

  “With pleasure.” Draven kissed her again, then carried her all the way to their quarters, only setting her down to press his palm to the keypad and usher her into the room. She undid the buttons on her dress and let it fall to her feet. Without taking her eyes off of him she walked to the bed, climbed onto it on her hands and knees, then watched him over her shoulder. “Is this how you want me, Sir?”

  “Exactly like that.” Once he was stripped he climbed up on the bed behind her. Sliding his hand over her back, slowly he pushed down between her shoulders. “Down on the bed, little one. Ass up nice and high for me.”

  Doing as instructed she widened her stance for him to give herself better stability. Her shoulders and breasts were to the mattress and her ass was high in the air. She waited now for his next touch, anticipated it and craved it.

  His fingers stroked over her spine until he was running them gently over her ass. He squeezed one cheek, then the other before his hand left her skin. A moment later she felt his tongue on her pussy, stroking over her clit to her slit.

  She moaned. She couldn’t help herself. The feeling of his tongue on her pussy was hot, incredible, and damn she wanted more. “Yes, thank you.” She moaned and pushed back against him time and time again.

  Sucking her clit into his mouth, he slid a finger deep into her pussy. He added a second one to her sheath a moment later, pumping them in and out of her body. Draven flicked his tongue to her clit, then scraped his teeth lightly to the tight nub.

  Cece was whimpering and she was moving back against his fingers and mouth as he teased her. Her legs were starting to shake. “There, please that’s perfect right there.”

  He pulled back at her words and slapped her ass, hard. “If you want something you know how to ask for it,” he said. He smacked her ass again when she froze up trying to think of what she was supposed to say. “How do you ask for what you want, little one?”

  “Please, Sir, will you do that again?” she begged him, this time the proper way. “Please will you give me more?”

  “Much better.” He gave her another couple smacks before sliding his fingers into her sheath. Stroking her slowly, he pressed a kiss to her spine. Then another to her buttocks on each side. His free hand moved to tease her clit as he pressed kisses to her ass.

  She was all but purring. Every touch, every single smack to her ass had her begging for more. She bit the pillow while pushing back against him time and again. “Lay on your back, arms up over your head and hold on to the headboard.”

  Gasping, she turned over and grabbed the headboard and wrappe
d her fingers around it. She looked at him and watched as he shifted and moved. This was what she loved about him, the way that he would prowl before pouncing, the way that he would shift and move and the hungry look on his face when he stared at her. It was perfect.

  Lifting her hips, he put two pillows under her ass to keep her at the angle he obviously wanted her at. With a scrutinizing look he made a few adjustments, then moved in closer. Then he lowered his head between her widespread legs and his mouth was moving over her pussy.

  His tongue laving her clit had her gasping. Then his tongue diving into her pussy had her lifting slightly. She had to force herself to go back to where he had placed her originally.

  His gaze met hers, and she could see approval shining out at her.

  Slowly his mouth left her pussy, moving up her lower belly and over her stomach. He continued upward, his hands braced to her sides while he nibbled, licked, and sucked at her skin. When he reached her breasts Draven met her gaze once more as he flicked his tongue over first one nipple, then the other.

  When he moved up and kissed her she tasted herself on his lips and tongue and liked it, a lot. She would have wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer if she could.

  He smiled against her lips, like he could read her mind. He couldn’t, at least she really hoped he couldn’t, but he did seem rather adept at reading her moods. With a gentle nip to her lip he drew back to sit up between her legs. Taking his cock in hand, Draven stroked his hand up and down the length in a way she could easily see what he was doing. He did it a few times before he lifted a brow. “What is it, little one? I can see you have something to say, so say it.”

  “Please fuck me with your cock, Sir?” she begged.

  His lips curled as he began to run the head of his cock up and down her slit. “You’re so wet,” he said in a low tone. “Your pussy is swollen and eager. Your clit is engorged and…needy.” The head of his cock rubbed to her clit a few times before he slid his cock down to her opening. Then he thrust in quickly, filling her in one long push.
