Pleasure Bound - Complete (27 page)

Tender nerves short-circuited. Flesh burned.

She writhed and shuddered beneath him as the pleasure destroyed her mind and her body.

She became frightened at the intensity. Frightened at the way the shocking peaks of pleasure cascaded over her like a bright waterfall. Slamming into her, one after another. Her vaginal muscles spasmed violently. Yet his thick cock continued to drive into her.

“Scream for me, Jacey,” he groaned hoarsely.

His warm lips brushed gently against her chin. His hands slid along the curve of her hips in silky caresses.

The physical joy of his touch was fierce. Her mind splintered with the waves of pleasure. All lingering thoughts of control exploded around her like giant bombs of white sparklers.

It exhilarated her. She’d never experienced such fantastic euphoria. Such sweet freedom.

Wetness dripped from her closed eyes behind the blindfold and she cried as she neared what she perceived as erotic hysteria.

Then the floating feeling came out of nowhere. It drenched her mind. It draped upon her soul releasing the wonderful screams of ecstasy Ben Hero had been waiting for.

At the sounds of her blissful joy, Ben’s thrusts became wild and fierce. Another orgasm cracked against her, pushing carnal paradise over her. She spun out of control as the white-hot zenith jolted through her, drowning her in exquisite pleasure.

This orgasm was long, wickedly wonderful, and drained her to the point where she couldn’t do anything but accept Ben’s aggressive thrusts. They grew fiercer as he neared his climax. He showed no mercy as he slammed his hips between her spread-eagled legs and growled out his satisfaction. Deep inside her, his cock spasmed wildly and he shot his sweet cum deep into her woman’s core.

Chapter Ten

Streams of late afternoon sunlight twinkled through the lush trees overhead as Jacey led Ben along the narrow woodsy trail.

Torment claimed her mind as she relived the gentle way he’d kissed her last night. The excruciating pleasure zipping through her insides from the butt plug. The exquisite way he’d whipped her breasts until she’d shivered with arousal. The violent thrusts toward the end as he’d fucked her without mercy.

Most of all she remembered her screams as she came while climaxing over and over again.

She’d waited all her life to experience this type of sex. None of her fantasies had ever been this good. And yet, within a few minutes, she would tell Ben Hero that they had to part.

The horrible thought made a cry bubble up from her throat. Thankfully Ben didn’t hear it, as he seemed to be lost in his own thoughts.

Parting with him was the best thing for both of them. She couldn’t stay with him forever. Not that he’d asked. But if he had, she’d have to turn him down anyway. She’d been selfish in allowing herself to divulge in her wildest fantasies. She’d broken so many laws. Laws created by women for women, laws that had stood for hundreds of years.

She’d broken them so easily it made her wonder how in the world she ever thought she deserved to be a Queen.

Because of what she’d done with Ben, she had to return to her hub. She would hold her head high with pride as she explained to her people what had happened. She would force herself to face the dire consequences. And when all was said and done, she would accept her fate, as a Queen should dutifully do.

Last night, while Ben had slept, she’d lain awake. Her mind clouded with guilt at allowing herself to be subjected to such immense pleasure by a male. The prophecy had also run rampant through her brain.

During Queen training, she’d been taught about the prophecy that foretold the coming of aliens to their world. The arrival of people who would eventually develop the technology to find them, people who could destroy their way of life.

It had already started. With her and Ben Hero.

In the past few days she’d grown too close to him. Just thinking about letting him go made immense sadness tug at her heart, but if she didn’t send him and the other males back to where they came from, many more males would come in search for them.

Males who might try to dominate once again. The women wouldn’t allow it. They would fight to the death. Blood would spill on her land and the males could once again rule the world.

Sending Ben home to where he belonged and asking him not to come back was the best way for everyone involved.

She’d sunk so deep in her sadness, she almost missed the fork in the road.

Ben didn’t miss it. He tapped her on the shoulder, calling a halt.

“Which way?” he asked as he stepped beside her and surveyed the two trails.

“The lower one.”

He made a move toward the lower trail and noticed she wasn’t following.

“You tired? Want to rest?”

Her throat clogged up and she shook her head.

“You’re going alone.” Those words were the hardest she’d ever had to say in her life.

Ben’s brows furrowed with puzzlement.

“What do you mean, alone?”

“The trail will lead you back to Freedom Sea and ultimately to your spaceship. But you must promise me on your word you will do everything in your power to tell the Earth people not to come here.”

“I will not promise any such thing. You’re coming with me.”

Jacey jolted at the anger in his voice, the hurt and betrayal shimmering in his eyes.

“I can’t come with you. I’m a Queen. I have to face up to what I’ve done.”

“What you’ve done? What you’ve done is make love. You haven’t done anything wrong. If your people don’t see that, then that’s their problem.” He made a grab for her hand, but she tugged away from him.

“What about what I want, Ben Hero?”

Her question obviously shocked him. His face paled.

“What do you want?”

Her throat clogged up with tears at his harsh question.

“I want you to go home, Ben Hero. I want you to be safe.”

“But what about you? What if you’re pregnant?”

Ah, so that’s why he was concerned, because she might be carrying his child. Considering males and females were equal where he came from, it would be normal for him to wonder about the fate of his child.

“I’m not pregnant.”

“How do you know?” His brown eyes seared right into her very soul, challenging her not to lie to him. She made herself hold his bold gaze as panic knotted her stomach. She couldn’t tell him the truth. It would put him into danger. He had to leave. And she had to let him go.

“Because we Queens take monthly birth control measures in case of what just happened to me,” she said firmly. It was a lie, but it was for his own good.

“Birth control? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Why did you let me think—”

“I didn’t know what you were thinking, Ben Hero.”

He sighed heavily and a muscle twitched wildly in his jaw. He was angry with her. Angry and disappointed.

He studied the trails that split into two different directions.

“What about the other trail? Where does that one lead?” he asked. Her heart ached for the lost look splashing against his face, and she felt just as lost, just as alone. She fought the tears threatening to clog up her throat.

“It leads to the front entrance of the Caves of Knowledge, about two miles from here.”

“To the High Five.”

Jacey nodded. “It’s where I must go. One of the High Five is a close friend of mine. I can persuade her to turn off the disintegrating machines to allow you to leave.”

Ben shoved a hand through his feathery hair. It was an endearing gesture she really liked, but right now it was ripping her heart to shreds. Letting Ben Hero go was harder than she’d ever imagined.

“We can go together,” he stated firmly.

“No. We can’t risk getting caught. If I’m alone then no one will suspect anything.”

“Then I’ll wait here until you come back. And we’ll go to Freedom Sea together.” Hope soared in his eyes and it made her angry. Why was he making this so difficult?

“I’m not coming back, Ben Hero!”

“What you’re trying to tell me is good-bye. For good.”

Jacey nodded and blinked back the tears.

“Don’t cry, Jace.”

“I can’t help it. I‘ve grown fond of you, Ben Hero.”

“And I like you too much to let you go.”

His words tugged the tears from her eyes.

Ben reached out and gently wiped away the hot stream running down her face. His fingers were warm against her skin and she couldn’t help but push her face into his hand.

“It’s for the best, if you go alone, Ben.”

“I don’t think I can live the same way I did before I met you, Jace. I don’t want us to part.”

Her resolve began to crumble. “But I don’t know the ways of your people. I wouldn’t fit in.”

“I can teach you and you’ll fit in just fine. And I want you to meet my mom and dad.”

His finger traced her lower lip with a sensuous sweep that left her wanting his mouth upon her flesh.

“I can teach you many things, Jacey. Come with me.”

“I can’t.”

His finger stilled. She sensed his hurt and it took every ounce of self-control not to reach out and touch him.

“I have to stay here, with my own people. No matter how much I desire to be with you.”

“What’s really stopping you from coming with me?”

“We don’t even know each other, Ben Hero.”

“What do you want to know? Just ask. Or I can tell you right now. I come from a family of astronauts. I trained as one for many years and did some space stunts. I’m also a part-time mechanic. When I’m not in space I have my own shop with a tiny apartment over it. When we get back, I’ll quit NASA, do the mechanic gig full time. We can live over my shop. It’s small, but we’ll manage until I can get us a bigger place. I’ll never leave you. I know enough about you that makes me sure I want you in my bed every night and by my side every day.”

Ben’s excitement was contagious and she couldn’t help but be swept away in his dreams.

His finger dipped tenderly along the side of her mouth, catching another tear. She licked the salty liquid from his warm flesh.

His masculine scent intoxicated her and his body heat crashed seductively against her skin. How could she part with him?

“I can’t.”

“Why can’t you come with me?”

“I mean I can’t leave you,” she admitted softly. Just saying the words lifted her spirits to unbelievable heights.

“You’ve changed your mind?”

Jacey nodded.

Suddenly Ben let out an excited whoop of joy. The sound startled her as well as a flock of nearby birds, who squawked frantically and took flight.

The warm grin on his lips made Jacey’s heart beat erratically and before she knew what she was doing she was kissing him. His lips tasted of the sweet fruits they’d eaten for breakfast. They moved over hers expertly, ripping womanly whimpers out of her chest and into her throat. He captured the moans with the heat of his mouth.

Cupping her bare ass, he pulled her against him. She tingled with desire as the thickness of his massive arousal pressed intimately between her legs.

“We can’t,” she whispered as she broke the kiss. “Not here.”

“Let’s go deeper in the trees”

“Too close. Someone may hear.”

He grinned knowingly and her pussy moistened with the need to have him deep inside her.

Gently he grabbed her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers.

She nodded toward a third trail. It was so well concealed by the oncoming darkness she’d almost missed it.

“Where do you think it goes?” Ben asked.

“Let’s go see,” she replied as she tugged him toward it.

* * * * *

About a half-mile later, they lay on a soft patch of dry moss that ran along the edge of a grey rock cliff. The sun dropped behind the horizon, bringing with it an unusual quietness that set Ben’s nerves just a little on edge.

“I lied.” Jacey whispered and snuggled closer to him, as if fearing he might suddenly bolt.

“About?”

“The child. Queens don’t take birth control. I just wanted you to go back to your own people and be safe. There’s no life here for an educated male. Only slavery or death.”

Her confession brought a rush of emotions cascading over him.

He resisted the savage urge to pull her tighter against him, to wrap his arms around her like a cocoon in order to protect her. He sensed the intensity of his love for her might frighten her away. Anger bit deep in his guts too. Anger that she’d lied to him about something so important.

But most of all, relief poured over him. Relief that she’d cared enough to tell him the truth about her possibly being pregnant and that she wanted to stay with him.

He pressed a finger to her mouth. “Shh. Everything will work out okay, Jacey.”

“You’re not mad that I lied?”
