halted, studying her face closely. “I am sorry you are being punished as well. You have

to live here with me.”

Jill smiled, moving to his earlobe. Her teeth raked the sensitive skin there.

“Anywhere we are is home and the view is a lot better on Garden than if we were living

on the
Jenny
in space. As punishments go, this one is pretty easy.”

He didn’t look convinced. “An actual house would be more comfortable for you,

Jill. This isn’t what I planned when I told you we’d be happy on Garden.”

She hesitated. “They had to ground the
Jenny
anyway to keep her from ever leaving

the surface and I’m grateful they let me keep her. I’ve grown attached. I still want to

keep it here once we obtain permission to have a house built when your probation is

over. The androids can keep living here to give us some privacy in our new home. I was

more afraid they’d lock you up or separate us.”

“If I had been imprisoned for attacking my fellow cyborg brothers it wouldn’t have

been for long since I didn’t harm them. They couldn’t take you from me, Jill.

Unfortunately you are still considered my property but hopefully one day that law will

change.” He gave her a small smile. “You own my heart and soul.”

“That’s why I don’t mind this whole ‘people being possessions’ in our case.” She

chuckled. “We know we belong together so the paperwork doesn’t matter.”

“You still shouldn’t be punished for what I did.”

“That guy we rescued from Earth scared me the most since everyone seemed to

think he was such a dick but he wanted to give you a break.”

Coal shrugged his shoulders. “Zorus and I have things in common and he

understood how much you mean to me.” He paused. “I think he feels alone, though he

is surrounded by our people. I felt that way, as if I didn’t fit when I finally had my

freedom, but you make me whole.”

Tears flooded her eyes. “Me too. That’s how you make me feel.” She cleared her

choked-up voice. “We need to have some fun.” She winked. “And be happy they

thought us living on a shuttle together would be a bad thing.”

“Let me just order Rune to do something that will occupy her time.” He walked to

the door, still carrying Jill wrapped around him.

“Sounds good.” She licked her lips and went for his ear, knowing how sensitive he

would be there and how hard it would make him. She nipped the lower edge of it and

his hold on her tightened.

“No.” Coal halted again.

She released his ear, pulling back. “I thought you liked that. Did I bite you too

hard?”

He met her gaze. “I love it when you use your teeth on me. That isn’t the problem.”

He cleared his throat. “Rune decided to water the seeds she planted.”

“So?”

Coal blinked and then cocked his head a little to peer over her shoulder. “She’s

using a lot of water.”

“Oh no.” Jill turned her head and then groaned.

Rune had removed her dress and stood with a hose spraying water over the garden

she’d started. The android had a real interest in the idea of how a seed could grow into

vegetation. She’d taken it as her personal mission to create a thriving food source for

Coal and Jill. The naked android turned, spotted them, and waved.

Coal released Jill’s ass to wave back. “Should I order her inside?” Coal turned his

head and visibly winced. “The males from the next plot over are watching her.”

Jill followed his gaze. At least twenty cyborg males stood at the fence watching

Rune with utter fascination. They obviously preferred to watch Rune than work on their

construction jobs, building the large greenhouse that would help supply the city with

fresh vegetables.

“I’ll go out there to explain again why she needs to remain covered.”

Jill turned her head, watching Coal frowning at Rune. She’d worried he might see

the android’s body and find hers lacking in comparison. She couldn’t compete with

manufactured perfection but he’d never shown interest in Rune as a sexual object. He

seemed oblivious to all that perfect synthetic skin. She slowly smiled, knowing without

a doubt how deeply he loved her. She was the only woman he wanted.

“She’s safe, right?”

“Yes.”

She glanced at the gawking cyborgs. “Leave her there. She seems busy, that’s a lot

of ground to water, and it should occupy her for a while.” She grinned at Coal. “There’s

a wall I want you to pin me against.”

“What about the males? They won’t venture onto our space or attempt to approach

her but we should make her dress.”

“Let them watch her. She really has a thing about not soiling her clothes, will just

argue with us the way she usually does if we try to change something about her way of

thinking, and I want to take advantage of her being occupied. A lot of cyborgs seem to

think there’s nothing redeeming on Earth but maybe she’ll make some of them change

their minds.” Jill suddenly laughed. “Rune can be the goodwill ambassador from

Earth.”

Coal smiled. “Goodwill?”

“She looks really good and I bet every guy out there will remember there’s

something they still like about humans since she resembles one.”

“Jill…” Coal chuckled, turning. “You know that’s naughty but then, I love that

about you.”

“I’m in that kind of mood.”

“How naughty do you feel?”

She ran her tongue over her lips, watching passion build in Coal’s handsome face.

“Put me down.”

He lowered her instantly and Jill reached for the front of his pants, unfastening

them, until his heavy, thick cock was free. She dropped to her knees, her eyes lifting to

meet his.

“You do enjoy me kissing you.”

“Take off your pants.”

She hesitated and then rose, happy she hadn’t put on shoes yet. She wiggled out of

them and then removed the shirt.
Rune isn’t the only one who likes to walk around without

clothes on sometimes
. She grinned at the thought.

Coal grabbed her before she could go to her knees again. She gasped when he used

his strength to bend her over his forearm, turning her easily, and gripped her thigh with

his free hand. He gently eased them to the floor until he curved around her back, caging

her in his arms on her hands and knees.

“I thought we were going to do some kissing. It’s tough to do that with me facing

away from you.”

“Spread your thighs wide apart.”

She hesitated but when he spread his, giving her room, she did the same. His chest

rose from her back and she watched him reposition until his legs slid between her

thighs and he sat on the deck, her ass against his chest. She turned her head to frown at

him.

“What are we doing? I thought you were going to take me from behind.”

“This is a position I read about on the computer. It’s called ‘sixty-nine position lying

down’.”

As he spoke, he lay back flat, his hands gripping her hips, and lifted her, pulling her

back until her pussy hovered over his mouth. Jill turned her focus on his lap, right

under her face. His cock lay against his belly, stiff and firm, the crown of it touching her

chin.

Jill couldn’t help but laugh. Coal read fiction files with sex in them sometimes,

stating that he didn’t want her to grow bored with him, and would surprise her with

new positions every few days. She’d told him she could never tire of him touching her

but she didn’t complain when he read something new and promptly shared it with her.

“Am I too heavy on top of you?”

“No.” He adjusted his arm, wrapping it around her hips at his chest to lock her

body there. His face nuzzled between her thighs. “Spread wider for me and move a

little closer to my mouth.”

She had to wiggle a little but the top of her thighs ended up braced against the top

of Coal’s broad shoulders. She moaned when he lifted his head, his free hand spreading

her pussy lips open to allow his mouth to fasten over her clit.

“Oh God.”

He removed his mouth. “Kiss me back.” His mouth returned to her clit, sealing

around the swelling bud, and his hot tongue rubbed the very sensitive nerve endings

there.

Jill parted her lips, easily capturing the hard flesh pressing against her, and took

inches of his cock into her welcoming mouth. Coal instantly responded by groaning

against her clit, creating wonderful vibrations. She sucked on him slowly at first but

then faster, taking more of him deeper inside.

The sweet taste of him nearly drove her insane when the pleasure threatened to

overcome her. The faster she rode his cock with her mouth, he responded in turn on her

clit. When one of his fingers breached her pussy, rubbing against her clenching vaginal

walls, she knew she would not last long. Her climax hovered as the need to come

became painfully intense.

Coal’s hips started to squirm, his moans grew louder, and the vibrations on her clit

increased. A strong jerk of his cock against her tongue told her he had reached the point

that he couldn’t hold back any longer. He cried out, sucking her swollen bud frantically

with hard tugs, and his release filled her mouth. Jill swallowed every drop, loving his

sweet flavor, and trying to hold off her own rapturous explosion when his finger left

her. She guessed he’d need a few seconds to recover but instead two of his fingers

suddenly drove into her. The sensation of being stretched and filled while he pushed in

deep, combined with his incredible kisses, rocketed her over the edge. She managed to

jerk her mouth away from his cock just before she screamed out his name, coming so

hard she nearly passed out.

Time lost all meaning for Jill while she lay sprawled over the man she loved. Her

cheek rested on his thigh, his cock mere inches from her lips, and she grinned, watching

his sensitive testicles respond to the warm air she breathed over them. Coal eased his

fingers out of her, his tongue swiping her clit slowly for one last lick, making her shiver

from another mild aftershock of her climax. Coal chuckled, rested his head back against

the floor, and turned his face to nuzzle her inner thigh.

“I liked that one.”

“I learned another one. It involves tying you down.”

Jill pushed up from his thigh and lifted her head to grin at him over her shoulder.

Interest sparked her libido again. “I’m listening.”

“We need to change positions.”

She hated to get up but she wanted him more. She rolled off him to sprawl on her

back. The cool metal of the deck soothed her heated flesh. Coal sat up while he slowly

took in every inch of her naked skin until his gaze met hers. Passion still darkened his

eyes.

“Would you trust me tie you down? I know how vulnerable you would feel.”

She saw a flash of pain in his eyes, obviously sparked from a memory from his past.

Jill sat up quickly and straddled his lap. Sitting there nearly made their faces level. She

wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and her breasts pushed against his muscular,

hard chest. She couldn’t miss how his cock hardened, trapped between their bellies.

“I love you, I trust you, and you can tie me up any time you want to.”

His features softened. “One day I want you to tie me down.”

She tried to hide her surprised reaction but Coal could obviously read her too well.

“I love and trust you too, Jill. I need to replace those memories of the bad things

done to me while being restrained with good ones of you doing wonderful things to me

that I want to happen between us. You deserve a male who faces his fears to get beyond

them.”

“I understand but I don’t think anything is wrong with you. I hate that you were

hurt, I want to kill every damn one of those women who forced you to breed them, but

what breaks my heart the most is that you can’t see how courageous you are to have

survived it all.”

“I’m damaged.” His jaw clenched.

“No, Coal.” She smiled at him. “To me, you’re perfect just the way you are. I love

everything about you.”

Coal stared deeply into Jill’s beautiful eyes. She didn’t attempt to hide how

sincerely she meant her words. She thought he didn’t need to be fixed, that he was the

male she wanted, and she didn’t see his flaws.

Her face blurred and he knew his own tears filled his eyes. He blinked rapidly but

they wouldn’t be hidden from the woman who had changed his life. She didn’t look

horrified as he shed them. She leaned forward to kiss each one that slid down his

cheeks instead.

This is happiness
.
Love. Acceptance. Jill gives me all of this and so much more.
Then

another thought struck him that made him chuckle.

“What’s funny?” Jill grinned at him. “Share.”

“I realized the past doesn’t matter. My future with you will be filled with a lot of

fun.” He winked. “And love.”

“So much of that,” Jill nodded, and brushed a kiss over his mouth.

He ached to make love to her again. “You heal me, Jill. You make all the pain I’ve

suffered fade away with every day we are together—with each touch, word, and look.”

“You do the same for me.”

Her hand reached between them. He softly groaned against her mouth when her
