Choosing Riley: Sarafin Warriors Book 1 (27 page)

“You taste so good,” Riley purred out as she
ran her smooth teeth up his length. “I’ve wanted to do this to you
ever since you made love to me the first time.”

Vox’s hands curled into tight fists as he
watched her tongue flick out over the tip of his cock, licking the
dewy drops of pre-cum before she sucked almost the whole length of
him into her hot mouth. His gasps filled the small room and his
body shook with the effort it took not to collapse in a puddle as
she sucked harder and harder, her lips wrapped tightly around his
thick cock. He knew it must be difficult for her but she breathed
through her nose and continued sliding her head up and down,
twisting and turning before pulling all the way out until he heard
the slight pop as the tip of his cock slid out between her rosy
lips. He sucked in a deep breath only to lose it in a loud
swooshing sound as she repeated her assault again and again until
his balls were so tight from holding back that he thought they were
going to explode.

“Now,” he hissed out hoarsely. “I need you
now!”

Riley was totally oblivious to the effect she
was having on Vox. She was focused on the pleasure she was
receiving from exploring him in a way she had only read about and
from the X-rated videos Grandma Pearl sent her for her last
birthday. She, out of respect for her Grandmother of course, had to
watch all of them – multiple times – so she wouldn’t hurt Pearl’s
feelings. She was finding out that watching something like this and
doing it were two totally different things. She had sat in awed
shock and a little bit of skepticism when she had watched the
videos. While they had been interesting, this was pure
unadulterated pleasure.

“What?” She asked breathlessly when she found
herself being lifted roughly.

“This is what,” Vox growled out between
gritted teeth as he stepped forward and lifted her so she was
forced to lift her legs and wrap them around his waist.

Riley leaned forward, wrapping her arms
around his neck as he pushed into her with one powerful thrust,
impaling her. Her screams were muffled by his neck as he pulled
back, gripping her thighs in his huge hands before he thrust up
into her again and again, moving faster and faster until both of
them were shaking. Riley felt her vagina clench and begin to spasm
in rippling waves as the heat of his cock rubbing back and forth
against her slick channel pulled on over-sensitive nerves until she
was having one pulsing orgasm after another. Afraid someone would
hear the scream trying to burst from her lips, she leaned forward
and bit down hard on the curve between Vox’s shoulder and neck
instead. His loud roar hurt her ears as he exploded deep inside
her. She quaked as the hot streams of his seed poured deep inside
her. She felt him swell to the point she moaned at the discomfort
of it.

It feels like he is trying to lock himself
to me and never let go,
Riley thought in a daze.

“If it was possible, I would do it,” Vox
groaned out as his body jerked over and over uncontrollably. “I
swear if it was possible I would lock myself to you and never, ever
let you go.”

Riley had no idea she had muttered her
thoughts aloud until he responded to her. “I can feel you moving
deep inside me,” she whispered as a light but consistent tugging
pulled at her womb.

“I am giving you my cub, Riley,” he admitted
hoarsely. “You carry our young now.”

Riley’s head dropped to his shoulder as shock
washed through her. The tugging continued, as if he was trying to
bury himself inside her. She shivered as she replayed his words in
her mind. Cubs, he was giving her his cubs. In her mind, she had a
mental image of her giving birth and looking at a bunch of hairy
kittens. She shook her head in disbelief. That was impossible. They
were two different species. There was no way they could have
babies!

Our baby,
her cat purred in
contentment as the tugging slowly faded.

Riley’s head jerked up so fast she bumped Vox
in the jaw. She stared at him with wide, frightened eyes.
“Baby?”

Vox released her left thigh so he could brush
her hair back as he continued to press her body against the wall.
“I was very excited. I could not resist,” he said with a
mischievous grin.

Riley’s eyes narrowed as she saw the smug
grin on his face. “I hope you are joking!” She growled out as she
wriggled against him as the full meaning of what he and her cat was
saying sunk in.

His eyes closed as he felt her squeezing his
cock as he pulled out of her slowly. “No,” he groaned as his cock
slid free from her warmth. “I can’t wait to see you rounder than
you already are,” he murmured squeezing her ass as she slid her
legs down.

“Rounder than I already am? What the hell is
that supposed to mean?” Riley bit out shoving him until his back
hit the door of the closet they were in. “I can’t believe we just
got it on like a couple of teenagers in a ….” She looked around the
tiny room. “You fucked me in the cleaning closet?” She asked in
disbelief. “And what the hell do you mean by rounder? Are you
calling me fat? I want you to know I am NOT fat! I have a mature
womanly figure is all,” she said as she reached down, grabbing her
lacy boxers and sliding them up her legs with a wiggle. “There is
no way I can have a cub, by the way. It is physically impossible.
You are an alien and I am human. Our DNA is totally incompatible
making having babies out of the question,” she added as she pulled
her top down.

Vox watched as Riley jerked her clothes on.
His eyes followed her every movement as she elbowed him in the gut
while pulling her cute little bottoms on. He had to duck as she
lifted her arms to pull her top down and grab a handful of her
hair. She was breathing with quick, little puffs like she was
fighting for air.

“Pull your pants up!” She snapped out as she
twisted her hair up into a messy ponytail. “Everyone is going to
know exactly what we were doing in here!” She practically wailed as
she felt the dampness between her thighs from his seed.

He wasn’t about to tell her most of the crew
would already know, if not from his roar then from him dragging her
into … Vox grimaced when he realized he had taken his mate in the
small room reserved for cleaning materials. She was also in the
beginning stages of heat, making it virtually impossible for him to
ignore her even if he wanted to which he didn’t. Every male on
board could smell her. That was why he had been trying to keep her
contained. A female in heat could easily cause a riot on board.
Breathing in deeply, he could sympathize with the other males. She
smelled absolutely delicious which was why he had either Lodar or
Tor guarding her when he couldn’t be with her. They were the only
two he felt confident he could trust around her. Now that she was
with his cub, her scent would change warning other males she was no
longer ready for breeding.

“If that wasn’t enough, our combined scent
would be enough to let them know,” he muttered under his breath
thinking about how no one could mistake his claim now.

“What scent? Let them know what?” Riley
demanded as she stared in horror as he refastened his pants.

“Riley, the Sarafin are cat-shifters. We have
a very good sense of smell. It is not unusual for males to be able
to smell when other males have had sex with a female,” he
explained.

“Are you telling me they can smell us –
together – what we just did?” She asked feeling sick to her
stomach.

“Of course,” Vox replied not understanding
why she was so upset.

This would be worse than Todd Patterson at a
high school dance. Then, he and his friends had only thought about
what they would do with her. If what Vox said was true, all the
warriors on board would know exactly what they had been doing in
the cleaning closet! Riley’s face flamed at the thought of all the
men staring at her like she was some kind of two-bit tramp. After
all, it wasn’t like her and Vox were married. That was one of the
things she had always sworn would happen before she gave in to a
guy. She looked at her bare finger and tears formed in her eyes.
She had done it again. She had forgotten about her cardinal rule to
remain firm on a ring and marriage. It was true Vox had promised
her forever but he hadn’t followed it up with even a suggestion of
either. Now, he was talking about her having babies! It was her
worst nightmare coming to life. She was about to become a single
mom just like her mom and her grandma.

Vox frowned when he saw Riley’s mouth tighten
in hurt and determination. “What is wrong? Do you not want my cub?”
He asked offended by her denial of their compatibility and being
upset that other males would recognize his scent on her.

Riley pushed her hair out of her eyes where
it had fallen and tried to push the loose strands up into her
ponytail. “I want a ring- and marriage as soon as possible! I won’t
have any baby unless we are married.”

Vox was not sure what this ‘marriage’ was but
he knew one thing, she would be having his cub with or without it.
He took a menacing step closer and growled down at her in warning.
He would not tolerate her thinking she would not carry his cub.

“You will carry my cub without ‘marriage’.
You have no choice in the matter, it is already done,” he snapped,
waving his hand curtly in front of her face. “If you try to deny
it, I will lock you up.”

Riley’s eyes flashed in fury. “Well, if you
want a kid you have to marry me first. If you don’t, you can forget
it! I’ll be the only one claiming her.”

“You would try to deny me my heir?” He hissed
out in disbelief. “I am Vox d’Rojah, King of the Sarafin Warriors
and leader of my people,” he snarled. “You will not tell me what to
do! I tell you! It is time for you to learn how to be submissive to
me when I give a command!”

“I don’t care if you were the President of
the Universe!” Riley growled back. “I am no one’s submissive. If
you want submissive, go practice bending over and kissing your own
ass in the mirror because it won’t be me doing it.”

“Guall’s balls, Riley,” Vox swore. “I have
never allowed anyone to talk to me that way.”

“Well, maybe if they did you wouldn’t be such
a horse’s ass!” She snapped back.

“You will obey me in this or I will make
you,” he vowed.

“You and whose army?” She snorted back. “I
want a ring and marriage or I am totally out of here!”

Vox swore under his breath. He did not know
what this ‘marriage’ was or why she suddenly wanted jewelry but he
would be damned by the Gods before he gave it to her before she
agreed to have his cub! How dare she say she wouldn’t have his son
unless he gave her marriage! He could understand the ring. Even the
females of his world liked jewelry but if this ‘marriage’ thing was
something from her world then she would just have to wait. He would
ask Viper to bring it back with him the next time he talked to him.
He would keep it safe but he wouldn’t tell Riley about it until he
had it in his hand and could force her to agree to his terms. He
wouldn’t hand it over to her until he had her promise to obey him.
It was about time she learned he was the male and she was the
female. It was her place to do as he said!

Vox smiled sharply down at her furious face.
“I have no need for an army. You do not go anywhere unless I say,”
he stated coldly.

“We’ll just see about that!” She replied
quickly reaching beside him and slapping her hand on the panel to
open the door.

Vox grunted as he fell backwards out of the
door as it gave way behind him. He landed on his back with a very
furious, very determined white female tiger with blazing blue eyes
staring down at him. She showed her teeth and snarled before she
placed her left back paw squarely on his crotch and pushed down.
Vox sucked in a breath hoping she wouldn’t extend her claws to
match the weight of the pressure she was applying. He understood
the warning. He was in a very nerve-racking position at the moment
and she was in no mood to negotiate who should be submissive, it
wasn’t going to be her.

“Riley,” he bit out with a grimace of
discomfort as he looked up into her snarling face. “Don’t you
dare.”

The huge white tiger snorted before leaping
off him and running down the corridor. Vox let his head drop back
to the floor where he stared up at the ceiling until another face
came into his view. He looked up into the sympathetic eyes of his
chief engineer.

“What did you do this time?” Tor asked as he
held out his hand to his friend and leader. “She looked as pissed
as a Traline slug,” he added referring to a nasty little creature
on their planet that oozed puss when threatened.

Vox reached up and grabbed Tor’s hand. “She
insisted I gave her something called ‘marriage’ and jewelry when I
told her I had given her my cub. She refuses to have my son without
the items.”

“So, give them to her,” Tor said as he
watched Vox straighten his shirt and run his hand over the back of
his neck.

“I will once she agrees to having my cub and
submitting to me,” Vox replied with determination. “She is the most
stubborn, hard-headed, demanding.....”

Tor drew in a deep breath and sighed in envy.
“Sexy, beautiful, unusual.....”

Vox’s lips curved into a humorous smile. “And
passionate female I have ever met.”

“Then explain to me why you want to change
her?” Tor asked looking with confusion at his friend.

“Because she will end up getting herself in
trouble and I might not always be there or have someone there to
protect her,” he admitted reluctantly. “I will ask Viper to bring
this marriage thing back to her and I can give her jewelry once we
are down on the planet. That should calm her for a little while -
hopefully.”

“What did your father say about your mating
to an unknown species?” Tor asked as they walked back to the
bridge. He had already contacted Lodar who made sure Riley was
safely back in her living quarters.
