3013: GENESIS (3013: The Series Book 11) (12 page)

“Seriously?”
She tilted her head back so she could look at him. “And you let him?”

Daimon
shrugged. “It makes him feel better to know we’re safe. It’s annoying at times,
but he can’t help himself. I think it’s because he is the oldest. He hovers.
He’s been this way since we lost our parents.”

Mya
realized that Maddox watched out for his brothers and cousins because they were
all the family he had left. And she was now included in that group. A rush of
pleasure that swept through her at that thought. “I guess I shouldn’t be mad
about it, then.”

“Not
mad. You can be annoyed, though.”

“I
guess that will have to be enough.” She let out a little laugh, then wanted to
protest when he let go of her and stepped back.

“So,
you said you came here to see me for a reason?”

Biting
at her lower lip, Mya wondered what she should say. She’d come here to ask if
he liked her, hadn’t she? Stars, what was she, twelve? She couldn’t ask him
that. And the seduction plan really wasn’t going to work now either. Not that
she had any clue how to go about doing that beside taking off her dress and
throwing herself at him like Reva had suggested.

Giving
up, she whispered, “I just wanted to know if you wanted…”

Daimon
was glad that he’d taken the time to visit the bathroom to use his nano-cleaner
before he’d gone to check out what was going on in the hallway. Because when
understanding dawned about why she was there, he just had to kiss her.

He
stepped forward and pulled her back into arms slowly, giving her time to
protest if she wanted to. But she didn’t. Bending down, he brushed his lips
over hers. Her mouth opened for him, and his tongue swept inside, stroking
against hers. His body heated, and his erection grew heavy and thick. Daimon wanted
to strip her down so he could take her right there, but Mya deserved better.

Making
a quick decision, he pulled back. “There is something I’d like to share with
you. Come.” He took her hand and pulled her with him down a long hallway.

Mya
was quiet as she willingly went with him. She held her breath as they passed
the brothers’ three large bedrooms, and felt a tinge of disappointment when he
didn’t lead her into his room. Instead, they headed toward the bathroom that he
and his brothers shared. Before they walked into the room, Mya noticed another
doorway at the end of the hall, and she absently wondered what was behind the
closed door.

“We
like our space, and our suite is our refuge. Our place to relax. Over the
years, we expanded our living quarters with the suite next door. We combined
the two bathrooms, and made it into something…special. It is now my favorite
room on the entire vessel.”

Mya
wasn’t sure what to expect as they stepped into the bathroom. The first thing
she saw were three large sinks on one side of the room, while opposite that was
a single sink with lots of counter space on either side. The floor was a
mixture of different colored stone squares, and the counter top was a dark-gray
marble shot through with veins of gold and silver. Beyond that were two small
separate rooms where the toilets were located. It was a nice bathroom, spacious
and exceptionally designed, but she wasn’t sure why he was so excited to show
it to her until they turned the corner.

Hidden
from view from the bathroom entrance was a tropical paradise. Instead of a
shower and bath area, there was a large lagoon filled with pink water, complete
with a small waterfall that continuously fed more water into the pool. Lush
plants surrounded the lagoon, clinging to the rocks and stones that covered the
walls of the spectacular grotto. A few stone benches were placed around the
exterior of the sunken pool, and the warm air was perfumed with the fragrance
of sweet flowers that bloomed on the vines hanging from the ceiling.

“What
is this? How is this possible?” she gasped.

Daimon
smiled at the look of wonder on her face. He felt his heart beat faster, and
had to remind himself to keep breathing. “Unfortunately, I can’t take credit
for this. The first time the Dragon Warriors Xavier, Galan, Thorn and Brydan
came to New Vega, they created this for us.”

“I
know them. They’re mated to my friend Alexis.”

“Did
you hear she just had her babies? She had twin boys…Gideon and Kadan. They’re all
still on Tartarus visiting with Katra and Jaden Tor.”

She
had a wistful expression on her face when she said, “Twins. That’s so
wonderful.”

“The
Dragon Warriors are an interesting race. We had them over for drinks one night.
We enjoyed their company, and liked hearing the stories about their travels. Before
they left, they said they wanted to give us a gift. At first we refused, but
they insisted. When my brothers refused to say anything, I asked them to show
me a memory they had of the Krytos home planet, since we have never seen it. I
thought they would show me a projection or something, but they gave us this
instead.”

He
looked around the beautiful grotto, thinking back to the shock he’d felt the
first time he’d seen it. The Dragon Warriors had used their magic to do a
little remodeling, and their gift had been the reason the brothers had expanded
their quarters. The lagoon used to be the bathroom of the suite next door,
which had fortunately been empty at the time, but he didn’t mind. How could he
when they created something so spectacular for him and his brothers?

“This
is a replica of a place they had visited when our home world still existed.
Brydan added the additional gift of water from the Dragon Warrior home planet.
It’s a little thicker than what we are used to—almost like gel—but it has healing
properties and cleanses without the use of any additional products.”

“I’ve
heard about it, but I just never thought I’d have the opportunity to see it. To
have something like this on your ship…it’s amazing.”

He
nodded. “I’m still a little sore from last night’s work, so I was considering
taking a bath when I woke. I hope you will join me.”

She
sent him an impish grin. “Pass up the chance to take a magical bath in a setting
that no longer exists? How could I possibly say no to that?”

“Wonderful,”
Daimon said. “Why don’t you get in the water while I go get us something to
drink?”

Mya
opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again. She blinked, once, twice, then
just shook her head. It didn’t really matter if she wanted that drink or not.

Because
he was already gone.

CHAPTER
TWELVE

Mya
let out a sigh as she sat down on one of the stones benches and bent down to
take her sandals off. Daimon had hurried from the room so fast it was a wonder
there weren’t skid marks from his boots on the stone floor. At least he had
invited her to stay, she thought. That was something.

But
why hadn’t he wanted to undress her himself?

She
rose and removed her dress, then peered over the side of the lagoon to stare
down at the pink water. It was strange looking, and she was curious to see what
magical water from another planet felt like. Taking a deep breath, she walked down
the stone steps leading into the sunken pool, and gasped as the warm gel-like
water surrounded her body.

She
looked down and saw that there were stone benches under the water around the
sides of the pool. After sitting down, she leaned her head back, closed her
eyes, and let the strange water soothe her. Daimon had been right. It was
thicker than she was used to, but it felt good. In fact, it felt absolutely
wonderful, like the water was soaking into every pore to cleanse and relax her
from the inside out.

Opening
her eyes again, she looked around. From where she was sitting, it was easy to
forget that she was on a space vessel. It felt like she was on another world. To
be given a glimpse at a planet that had been destroyed long ago was a wonderful
gift.

Curious,
she lifted her hand up and touched her finger to her tongue. The water didn’t
have a taste. Maybe it was a little salty, but nothing like the ocean water
from home. She sunk lower, bracing her hands on the bench below her to stop from
being submerged completely. As the water covered her hair, there was a slight
tingling sensation, then it faded, leaving her feeling completely clean and
relaxed.

She
sat again and tilted her head to the side as Daimon walk back into the room. He
was carrying two glasses and a sapphire blue bottle she knew well. “
Ahava
wine?”

“I
know you like it,” he admitted with a sheepish grin.

“Thank
you.” She sighed. “I guess you know all about my night out with the girls.”

“I
know you had a bit too much to drink that night,” he said as he poured the wine
into both glasses. He handed her one of the glasses, then set the bottle and
the other glass down on the side of the pool. “I’m glad you had fun, but we
were worried when your guards had to carry you back to your room.”

He
seemed to hesitate for a moment before he shoved his pants off his hips,
kicking them to the side so he was naked. Mya knew it was probably rude to
stare, but she couldn’t look away from his beautiful body.

She
lifted her glass to her lips and took a big gulp of the pale-blue liquid to
ease her dry throat. All the Adaro brothers were strong and fit, but Daimon was
a little shorter than the other two, and thicker with muscle. His cock was
hard, jutting out from between his thighs to curve upwards toward his stomach.
She noticed that his shaft looked a little thicker than his brothers’, and the
sight of it made her want to reach out and touch him.

Daimon
walked down the steps slowly, and Mya missed the sight of his body as he sank
into the warm water. When her gaze lifted, her eyes met his. She saw the raw
hunger blazing back at her, but he simply reached for his glass of wine and sat
down on the bench angling toward her instead of acting on the need she saw.

It
was clear that he wanted her, but he wasn’t going to do anything about it?

Damn
it.

Mya
took another sip, then put her glass down. “Is this weird? It feels weird. I
mean, we’re sitting here naked, and I’ve seen you…obviously. But you haven’t
seen me. And we kissed before, but then you told me to leave. And now you left
before I took off my dress as if you didn’t want to see me…”

Daimon’s
hand had frozen in place with his glass halfway to his lips during her rambling,
and now that she paused, he put the glass down. “Mya? Are you telling me you
doubt that I want you?”

“You
might want me, but you might not want to want me.”

His
expression tightened with frustration. “I have no clue what that means.”

Stars,
she was not explaining this well. How could she when she barely understood it
herself? “I just don’t want things to be weird between us. You know that I was
with your brothers, and that just makes all of this seem…”

“Weird?”
There was tenderness in his voice when he said, “Little star, come here.”

Reaching
out, he pulled her onto his lap so she was sitting sideway with her legs
dangling off one of his thighs. She could feel his erection pressing against
her hip, and forced herself not to wiggle to try and get closer to him.

He
brushed his lips across hers in a gentle kiss, then looked into her eyes. “If
you’re worried that I don’t want you as much as my brothers, you’re wrong. Each
of us has wanted time with you. Time to get to know you, but for you to get to
know us as well. The three of us are different. Some people don’t see that.”

“I
do,” she whispered. “I see you…all of you.”

“And
that’s part of the reason we want you. If I had stayed in here while you
undressed, I would have taken you. I don’t want to rush things. I want to give
you time before being with me.”

She
used her finger to traced the ridge of his collarbone. “I came here today to
seduce you.”

Daimon’s
felt his blood heat at the thought. “You did?”  

He
watched her flush as she admitted, “Well, I was going to try to, but I really
don’t know what I’m doing so—”

“Mya,
all you have to do is breathe and I’m seduced.”

“Really?”

The
hopeful tone of her voice told him everything he needed to know. She was
innocent in the ways of males, and she had taken his restraint as disinterest. He
couldn’t fight his need for her anymore. He gripped her hair in his hand,
jerking her head back so he could slam his mouth down on hers.

There
was nothing gentle about him now. She’d unleashed the beast within him, and
there was no going back. His kiss was a claiming. Taking her with a brutal
passion so that there would be no doubt in her mind about how much he wanted
her. Torturing himself, he asked, “How were you going to seduce me, Mya?”

“I
don’t really know. I figured if all else failed, I’d try to kiss you…down
there.”

He
froze at her words, his eyes going wide. “You want to do that for me?”

Mya
was puzzled by the shock she heard in his voice. “You wouldn’t like that?”

“Oh,
I’d love it. It’s just that my seed shoots too hard and hot for you to drink me
down. You would choke, and I can’t allow that.”

It
all made sense now. Tavius had stopped her from using her mouth on him, but she
hadn’t known why. Pia had told her all men loved when a woman went down on them,
so Mya didn’t understand why they hadn’t given her a chance to please them…but
now she understood.

They
were seriously all going to have to work on their communication skills.

“I
can take you in my mouth without you finishing, can’t we?”

It
startled her when Daimon quickly gripped her around her waist and set her down
on the bench next to him. He lifted himself out of the water so he was sitting
on one of the flat rocks at the edge of the pool. The water slid off his body,
but left his skin glowing in the soft light shining down on them from the
ceiling.

“My
body is yours to explore whenever and however you like,” he growled as he
fisted himself with his large hand. “But I hope you know what you’re asking
for.”

He
looked like a sexual god sitting before her with his big cock in his hand. She
gathered her courage, and took the plunge. “I want to do this. I want to please
you. Just…will you let me know if I do anything wrong?”

Fire
burned in the dark depths of his eyes. “Anyway you touch me will be magic.”

Taking
his word for it, her gaze lowered, focusing on his hard cock. It was large and
thick, and slightly darker than the rest of his golden body. The mushroomed
head was bigger than a human man. Not that Mya had any up close personal
experience, but she’d seen enough images to know the basics.

She
was fascinated by the way the shaft pulsed, moving slightly as he seemed to
swell before her eyes. A drop of pearly liquid appeared at the tip from the
tiny hole at the end, and it made her want to taste it.

“Mya,
if you don’t want to—”

His
words cut off on a low growl when she leaned forward and lapped at the drop of
pre-cum with her tongue. His cock jerked hard when she did it again. She looked
up at him through veiled lashes to gage his reaction. Daimon looked fierce. His
expression would have terrified her if she didn’t feel the shock of pleasure racing
through him as she placed one of her hands on his thigh, and used the other to
remove his hand on his cock, replacing it with her own.

“Quit
teasing me, Mya. Open your mouth for me. Open for me and suck it.”

Following
his command, she opened her mouth wide and took him in. She wrapped her lips
around his cock, stroking at the drops of liquid that continued to form at the
top of the head with her tongue. He was the perfect combination of sweet and
salty.

His
taste was addicting, and she wanted more.

A
harsh groan tore from his throat as she worked her mouth over him, taking him
deeper. She felt his hands shove into her wet hair, tight enough to hold onto her,
but still allowing her to set her own pace.

There
was power in giving. She had control over him. His pleasure belonged to her,
and she could give or take it at will. It made her feel wild and free. Feeling
more confident, she took more of him in until the head of his cock hit the back
of her throat, then had to pull back quickly when she gagged.

Damn
it.

It
didn’t look like she would be declaring herself the goddess of blow jobs just
yet.

“I’m
too big for you to take all of me. Go easy,
tava
. Slow and easy.”

Irritation
sparked. She knew he was trying to be helpful, to make it easier on her since
she lacked experience, but she wanted him out of his mind with the pleasure she
gave him. Ignoring him, she began to move faster, using her mouth and tongue
ruthlessly on him. She started moving her hand on his cock, using it to stroke
the part of his shaft that she couldn’t take inside her mouth.   

She
felt his body tense, and glanced back up at him. It almost looked like he was
in pain now, and her own body tingled at the hunger she saw blazing in his dark
eyes.

 “No
more,” he growled. “It feels too fucking good, I can’t stand it.”

Daimon
pulled her head away from him, and his cock left her mouth. He wanted to snarl
at the loss of her sweet mouth on him, but he was too close to coming to risk
it. Sliding off the rock so he was back in the water, he lifted her easily into
his arms and claimed her mouth with his. Need pulsed through him. When she
surrendered and parted for him, he sank into her, tongue delving deep.

The
kiss continued as he carried her over to the steps of the pool. She
automatically wrapped her legs around his hips, and he growled as her pussy
rubbed against his engorged shaft. He stumbled as the head of his cock lodged
at the entrance of her pussy before he could get them out of the water.
Reaching out a hand, he braced them before they both fell, then he swore as she
gripped his shoulders and pushed down at his cock.

Fuck!

Daimon
had wanted to taste her. To fuck her with his tongue and his fingers to make
sure she was ready for him, but that plan was blown to hell now. Lowering them
to the top step of the pool, he slid deeper as he shifted their position. The
look on her face and her soft moan of pleasure was almost enough to make him
come, but he didn’t want to spill his seed yet.

He
needed to claim her and make her his first.

“Hold
on,
tava
,” he commanded. “This is going to be hard and fast.”

With
that warning given, he pulled out of her and flipped her over so that she was
kneeling in front of him. The water hit her mid-thigh, but her hands were
braced on the edge of the pool. He gripped her hips hard and surged into her
from behind. Daimon had never felt anything as good as being buried to the hilt
inside Mya’s tight, hot pussy. Control shattered, his hips pistoned against
her, thrusting his cock into her in a jarring rhythm.

Water
splashed around them, but he didn’t care. He spread his own legs apart further to
get a better angle, then slammed his hips forward again, using the full force
of his body. The desire to taste her blood came out of nowhere, and he bit his
own lip to stop himself from sinking his fangs deep into her shoulder.

Mya
moaned as he speared into her. The water had worked its magic on her body,
easing the soreness she’d felt after last night so she only felt the pleasure
of Daimon’s massive length sliding into her. Soft gasps spilled from her lips
with each thrust.
