The Bond That Heals Us (19 page)

“Yes. Come for me.” Davin said the words, his voice strained.

Sara dropped to her knees, knowing her legs wouldn’t be able to hold her up once she got started. Her fingers found her clit easily, and somewhere in the back of her mind she realized she wasn’t wearing any clothing. She pushed through the damp curls, slick with her own juices, and slowly circled her clit. A moan escaped her lips, but she didn’t stop. Sara pictured Davin’s hand teasing her body.

When she pushed two fingers into her pussy, she felt her muscles clamp around them. She imagined it was Davin’s cock thrusting into her. Everything else around her was gone. The only thing she could focus on was reaching that peak, blessed release.

“That’s it,” Davin’s voice broke through the darkness. “Just a bit more and I have what I need.”

“So close,” she whispered. Her fingers were thrusting into her, her cream flowing down her hand as she felt the orgasm approach.

Brushing her thumb across her clit as she moved her hand was the edge she needed. Sara cried out as the first wave of pleasure pulsed through her. Her body was shaking, but she didn’t stop moving her hand. Each wave brought her higher than she’d ever been before. When she couldn’t take anymore, Sara slumped forward, her hand bracing her body, keeping her from lying on the floor.

She was about to speak when she heard a triumphant shout and a blast of light and heat that made her fall. Sara squeezed her eyes shut and prayed everything would be okay.

Davin didn’t know where he was when consciousness finally returned to him. He shook his head a few times until his vision clearly returned. He was looking down and realized he was holding Sara’s hand. Her body was pressed hard against his and her breathing was shallow.

The feel of her beside him was heavenly. He could still feel the surge of power she’d released, the power that had helped cure Sean. Davin looked over at Sean and felt sudden relief when he saw his breathing had returned to normal and his color wasn’t gray any longer.

“Sara,” he croaked out, his voice weak from the strain on his body. “
Jalla
, are you all right?”

He ran a hand along her shoulder to her neck where he massaged her tense muscles. He shouldn’t have used her the way that he had, but there wasn’t any other way to save Sean. Finally, her body shuddered as she awoke from the healing trance with a deep sigh. Sara’s body tensed as she clawed wildly in the air.

“I can’t see!”

“It’s okay. Your sight will return shortly.” He held her close and kissed her temple.

“The first time is always hardest.”

Her body shook in his arms, but he was surprised at how well she controlled herself. He’d seen many of his cast panic and injure themselves and others when they emerged the first time. But not his Sara. Davin whispered softly against her temple, absorbing her scent and her heat. It was amazing in some ways that this was the first time he’d healed another and didn’t resent what it meant—being forced into a life that had destroyed his family.

“Is Sean okay?” Sara asked after a few minutes. Her voice was calm even though her body still trembled.

“I think I was able to kill all of the parasites. The computer says everything is normal.”

“Thank god. I thought I’d killed him.” Her body sagged against Davin. “I think my sight is coming back, but I could use some help to get to the chair.”

He led her across the isolation room to the chair and once she was sitting comfortably, he knelt in between her legs. “How are you feeling?”

She smiled and shrugged. “Like I stuck my finger in a power outlet.”

“Do you remember what happened?”

Her smile quickly turned to a frown as she concentrated. “I…I remember coming over to you, putting my hand on yours and then it gets a little fuzzy.”

125

Davin rubbed his hands up and down along the length of her thighs. “I’m not surprised. Very few people do the first time. I needed your help to boost my own natural ability. How are you feeling?”

When she blushed, Davin couldn’t help but chuckle. Her gaze snapped to his face and she punched him lightly on the shoulder.

“Why the hell are you laughing at me? I haven’t even answered you yet.”

“Well?”

“I’m…shit. Now I know how Haylie felt,” she muttered the last.

“What’s that mean?”

“I’m horny, okay. Happy? I’m horny!”

“Horny?”

Sara grabbed him by the shirt and pulled his face close to hers. “I really want to rip your clothing off and screw your brains out right now.” Her face was bright red by the time she finished.

“I’d rather you wouldn’t do that.”

They both turned around to see Sean’s face turned toward them.

“Sean!” Sara was on her feet and practically stepped on Davin to get over to the bed. “How are you feeling?”

“Like I got hit by lightning and then run over by a crawler. What happened?”

When Sara reached out and pressed her hand against Sean’s cheek, Davin had to fight the urge to snatch it away. She was a doctor—she had to touch the other man, had every right to. It’s not like they were mated.

The idea of spending the rest of his life with Sara was immediately appealing.

When Sean had grown ill, her first reaction was to try to save him. Not ask for his help or try to use guilt or bully him into using his gift to help. She probably wouldn’t have thought of it at all if he hadn’t intervened when he did. And if he hadn’t, Sean would be dead.

“The antibodies I gave you had the opposite effect of what I’d hoped. It sped up the growth rate of the parasites.” She reached down and squeezed Sean’s hand. “I’m so sorry.”

“But I feel fine. A bit sore, but I don’t think I’m about to die on you.” Sean managed to pull his body up to lean on his forearms as he spoke.

“That was thanks to Davin. I thought we were going to lose you for a minute.”

Sara moved out of the way so Sean and Davin were side by side. When Sean looked at Davin, he smiled faintly and held out his hand. Davin could feel the other man’s gratitude as he clasped his hand. Their connection still strong after the healing.

“I guess that’s twice we owe you, Captain.”

“I’m just trying to buy enough favors to be able to smuggle some nice shit from Eurus.”

“Don’t let Taber or Haylie hear you say that. They’ll throw you in the brig.” Sean’s smile brightened a bit more.

“I wouldn’t give that Briel
rakel
the pleasure of catching me. Besides, I don’t plan on going anywhere until we figure out what is going on with this parasite.”

Sara straightened. “Really? I thought you needed to leave.”

Only a fool could miss the note of hope in her voice. And Davin was far from being a fool. When she broke contact with his gaze, he knew she didn’t want to pressure him to stay. She was so different from any other woman he’d ever been with. But he couldn’t be the type of man she needed. Not really.

“I have a feeling Kamran won’t be letting anyone on or off this planet until we get this situation under control. So I can either sit around and torment your Briel friends or I can help.”

“I know I’m happy as hell you’re here to help,” Sean said and let his body fall back against the bed. “If I’m this bad, I can only imagine what the other miners are like.”

“You rest up. We’ll come check on you in a bit.” Sara patted his shoulder. “Davin, can I talk to you in the office for a minute?”

He nodded a quick goodbye to Sean and followed Sara out into the hallway that led to her office. When they came in, she shut the door behind her and didn’t move until he flopped into her chair, spreading his legs in a relaxed pose. His body was still humming from the power he’d taken from her in the healing. Sara’s body seemed to glow, her erect nipples pressing hard against her uniform. His cock noticed too and he had to push aside the thoughts of what he wanted to do to her.

“What did you want to talk about?” He swung his leg so his ankle rested on the opposite knee, blocking her view of his crotch.

“Why haven’t the other miners gotten this sick?”

Not exactly what he thought she was going to say. “Something in the antibodies ramped the parasite’s growth?”

“But until I was ill, we didn’t know a thing about them. Probably wouldn’t have either. And Sean was fine until I tried to get rid of them. Why did they go from barely registering on the computer scans to almost killing him in a matter of minutes? That shouldn’t be possible.”

Sara pushed away from the door and sauntered over toward him. He could tell she was mentally engaged, trying to solve this issue. But he also knew she was still aroused from the way she touched the side of her neck, played with a lock of her blonde hair.

Without thinking, he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her onto his lap with a yelp.

She only struggled for a moment until her round ass came in contact with his stiff cock.

“If there is something in the mines that is keeping the parasites from taking over the host, then that means we have time to figure things out.”

“Davin, we shouldn’t—”

127

“Oh I think we should.” He leaned in and licked a trail along the side of her neck. “I really, really think we should.”

“Someone might come in,” her words came out as a breathy sigh and she dug her nails into his arm.

“You don’t remember what you did for me when I was trying to heal Sean, do you?”

“No.” Her body shivered.

“Oh I think you do. Your body does even if your mind can’t recall. I needed energy, power. I’m out of practice when it comes to healing.”

Davin nipped at her shoulder and felt his cock twitch in his pants. There was something about Sara that set him off every time. Her scent and taste fired every drop of his blood, making him want to eat her alive.

“And you took power from me?” Her hands had come alive on his chest, clawing and rubbing his muscles.

“You gave it to me. You touched yourself here,” he said and reached down between her legs. When his fingers pushed against her clit he felt her suck in a breath. “And you came for me. That energy helped save Sean’s life.”

“The healing power of orgasm. That’s a new one.” Her chuckle turned into a gasp when Davin pushed a bit harder against her clit. “If I came then, why the hell am I so fucking horny?”

“It didn’t really happen.” Davin reached and cupped her breast through her shirt.

“But I plan on thanking you properly for your help.”

“Oh,” she sighed.

Sara tipped her head back, thrusting her breasts close to his face. Davin’s mouth began to water as he pushed her shirt and undershirt up exposing her breasts to the air.

The pink nipples taunted him, begged him for his mouth. Something he was more than happy to help with.

He sucked the nipple closest to him and began to flick his tongue over the swollen tip. Sara’s hips bucked up and her legs clamped around his hand. When he rubbed against her this time, he could feel her wetness.

“I want to taste you,” he said against her nipple.

“Someone might—”

“Now.”

He stood up, a rush of energy filling him as he lifted her up. It took him only a minute to pull her pants free of her legs, opening up her body to him. Davin picked her up by the waist, walked her over to the wall and lifted her so high her head almost touched the ceiling.

“Legs over my shoulders.”

“Davin!”

128

She didn’t protest any further when he licked a circle around her bellybutton. One, then the other leg was draped over his shoulders, putting her pussy right in front of his mouth. He took another step closer to the wall, making sure she had enough support before leaning in and licking a path up from her cunt to her clit. Sara’s nails dug into his scalp and her body shook violently from that one touch.

“You are amazing,” he whispered and licked her again.

The sweet and spicy taste of her cream covered his tongue, making him hungry for more. Davin thrust his tongue into her pussy and mimicked what he would soon be doing with his cock.

Sara’s head was thrashing from side to side as her muffled cries reached his ears.

He could picture her biting on her lower lip trying to keep quiet. But he didn’t want her quiet. He wanted her crying out, yelling his name. He moved his face back to her clit and sucked it into his mouth. Her body tensed as she cried out, her cream covering his face from the force of her release.

Davin let her body slide down the wall until one of her legs reached the floor. He kept the other leg bent, her body open to him as he kissed her deeply.

“Can you taste yourself? See why I love it?”

“Davin.” She pulled him back down for another kiss as one of her hands found the opening of his pants. “I need you.”

“You have me.”

As soon as her fingers freed his shaft from his pants, he began to buck his hips forward. Her long fingers wrapped around him, pulling him into position at the opening of her pussy.

“Make me come again.” Sara’s words were hot against his cheek.

Davin’s brain shut off and he let out a string of curses as he pushed into her warm cunt.

“You’re so wet. Do you feel what you do to me?” Davin pressed his body hard against her, contacting with as much of her body area as possible.

Releasing his mind, he let loose the healing power his body connected to, let it out to mingle with Sara’s energy. Now that they’d healed Sean together, they had a connection far deeper than what a normal couple could experience. Their bodies merged, sharing and amplifying each other’s pleasure.

With each thrust he tried to keep a firm grip on his control, but the temptation to let go was so great. Sara arched her back against him, her breasts thrusting up toward his face. He cupped her and reveled in the feeling of her hard nipples poking against his palms.

The mingling of their energies increased, sending a constant stream of pleasure swirling between them. Davin closed his eyes, unable to keep them open against the power of their mutual arousal. The barriers of his mind were gone and all he could feel was Sara. There was no darkness, only joy and love all solely directed toward him.

129

Davin and Sara gasped at the same time. Davin felt as if he was falling forward, diving into a deep pool of pleasure and Sara was right beside him. He felt her inner muscles clench around his cock seconds before he came hard into her. Their cries mingled before being smothered with a long kiss. He couldn’t stop. Davin licked and tasted Sara’s mouth, cheek and neck, breathing in her sweet scent that gave him a sense of peace. His thrusts slowed to become a gentle rocking until they both leaned against the wall, kissing and caressing each other.
