The King and I: Celestial Soul-Mates, Book 1 (4 page)

A shiver went through her. “So…you’re not exactly like us, then.”

Oh, God, she had to remember that no matter how much he looked like a man—even though an exceptional specimen of a man who made her heart drum faster—he was really an alien creature.

“Is this really what you look like or are you…uh, some kind of shape shifter?”

“This is my true appearance.” He smiled gently and placed his hand over hers. “Don’t worry, Aria. I’m really not that different from you.”

At his touch, heat flared through her, driving away the niggling fear that had begun in the pit of her stomach. Her gaze darted from his, but he’d probably seen the desire spark in her eyes. She drew her hand away. He cleared his throat and leaned back in his chair.

“So, tell me, if you were to consider being with one of my crew, which would it be?”

“It’s pointless to answer that question.”

He sipped his wine.

“So humor me.”

She stared at him and images of his crew showing her their talents danced through her mind. Thoughts of being kissed by Larson set her lips tingling. Her breasts followed at the thought of Baryn worshipping them. Terrien’s expert hip movements set her lower regions to shuddering and Darrick’s enormous member sent her curiosity spiraling out of control. Remembering everything they had to offer, she had no doubt at all whom she would choose.

Her gaze fixed on Captain Tai Gaman. It would be
him
.

Tai watched as her eyes glazed in lust. She was remembering her encounter with the crew. Jealousy twitched through him, but he pushed it aside.

He grinned and leaned forward.

“You have someone in mind, don’t you? Tell me who it is.”

She blushed and stared at her plate.

“No. I told you, I’m not interested.”

“Oh, you are definitely interested. In fact, you’re dying to act on your need. You just won’t let your guard down enough to do it.”

He needed to do something to push her over the edge to help her give in to her need—and he had just the thing.

He poured both of them a hot beverage and then moved back to the lounge and settled on the couch. She followed him, mug in hand, and curled up in the armchair.

“Maybe you’d like to watch some video,” he suggested. He pressed a switch on his entertainment control panel on the side table and four transparent, paper-thin monitors lowered from the ceiling. He switched them on and Aria gasped at the sight of naked flesh.

On one screen a woman with short, dark hair and big blue eyes lay on a bed with her fingers tucked inside her black lace panties, her hand moving up and down, watching a single video screen like the ones Aria watched.

“Oh, my God. That’s Jenna.” Aria’s hands tightened around her mug.

Jenna still wore her evening gown, but the long skirt had been thrust aside, draping over her hips.

Tai couldn’t help but admire the beauty of the young woman. Her breasts stood high and firm above her slim waist and round hips.

Jenna released the small buttons below the deep V-neckline of her dress to reveal one rigid, dark nipple. She stroked it, then pinched. The dark, pink nub compressed between her fingers, jutting out farther. Her head fell back against the pillow and she groaned.

Aria glanced to the next screen and realized it showed the same scene Jenna was watching. She realized it was Crystal in a passionate embrace with the man who’d led her away. His hand was on her breast, and Aria realized with a start that Crystal was stroking his long, erect penis. They parted from their kiss and Crystal smiled broadly. She wore only a red lace demi-bra, her nipples exposed, a matching garter belt and skimpy panties.

She squeezed his erection and pumped enthusiastically.

“I want you inside me right now,” Crystal said.

The man groaned, then backed her up to the wall. She guided his cock to her wet opening and he nudged forward, his cock head pushing into her a little.

“Oh, shove it in, baby. I want to feel that beautiful hard cock of yours driving into me.”

She wrapped her hands around his buttocks and tried to pull him into her, but he held firm, easing into her slowly. Once fully immersed, he tipped her chin up and claimed her lips in a potently erotic kiss. When he released her mouth, his gaze locked onto hers, holding her mesmerized as he drew back, then he slid forward, impaling her again. He drew back and thrust forward several times, then spiraled his hips against hers. As he cupped her buttocks and lifted her, she wrapped her legs around him and arched forward and back. Aria could see his penis slide in and out of her.

The erotic sight took Aria’s breath away.

Tai’s gaze shifted to Aria. Although the scene playing out on the screen was extremely erotic, what sent him into a rigid state of arousal was seeing Aria absolutely enthralled by watching it. Her breathing came rapidly and her cheeks had blossomed in a rosy hue. His gaze locked on her fingers, which had slipped over her breast and casually plucked at one nipple.

Aria’s gaze shifted to the next screen where the young woman named Kate was totally naked, bound to the wall, her arms and legs spread wide.

Brand, one of Tai’s crew, caressed her breasts, stimulating the nipples with light strokes of his fingertips, and her face contorted in pleasure. He nibbled at her collar bone, then licked neatly around her areola while his fingers gently stroked her other nipple.

Tai wished he was in Brand’s position, but with Aria’s beautiful body laid out in front of him. Heat ignited inside him as his longing for her became nearly unbearable. He wanted to rush over and sweep her into his arms, to taste the sweet saltiness of her flesh.

Hex, a second crewman, stroked down Kate’s legs, then slowly upward again, along her thighs, then close to her pussy. Both men leaned forward and took a nipple in their mouths. Kate gasped.

Aria flushed at witnessing the intimate encounter, but she couldn’t drag her gaze away. Her own nipples puckered tightly, burning for attention. She realized she’d been stroking one and snatched her hand away. Her face flamed hotter. All the while she could feel Captain Gaman’s hot gaze on her.

As the two men sucked on Kate’s nipples, one slid his hand down her stomach, then stroked her clit. Kate moaned louder. As Aria watched, Kate shifted and arched. Her eyes fell closed and she groaned, louder and louder, until finally she wailed in ecstasy. From her gasps and the tensing of her body, Aria could tell they were bringing her to orgasm.

The temperature in the room seemed to climb steadily. Aria ran her fingers under the collar of her blouse, desperately wanting to stroke her own breasts.

She dragged her attention to the fourth screen. It was blank.

“Eva? Where is she?” Had something happened to her?

“Don’t worry. She’s fine. She’s just not in her room yet.”

Her gaze slipped back to the screen with Crystal, who crouched over her lover, then grasped his incredible cock in her hands and licked the head. It twitched under her attention. She swirled her mouth around him, then licked him top to bottom. Her hands slid around him and she pumped as she swallowed the head into her mouth. She took him deep, then squeezed her lips around the top of the shaft, under the corona.

Her cheeks hollowed as she sucked on him, drawing him deep into her throat, taking every last inch inside her.

He tensed, his face contorted in pleasure. He was coming. Aria could see Crystal’s throat move as she swallowed several times. Finally, she released him, then kissed up his stomach to his chest. Surprisingly, he rolled her onto her back and lunged his still rigid cock into her. He thrust again and again until finally she shrieked in ecstasy.

Aria’s own breathing almost came in pants now.

She glanced over to Captain Gaman—Tai—as he sat on the couch looking more handsome than a man had a right to. Her body screamed in need. She had to feed this ravenous, sexual hunger and she knew he was the only man who could do it.

Chapter Six

Tai’s throat tightened. Clearly, his plan had worked. The need in her eyes was painfully obvious. He leaned forward. “I’ll call in my crew.” By
nata’tai
, he wished he could be the one to satisfy her.

“They look rather…busy.”

Her throaty words drove his heightened state of arousal several notches higher.

She stood and unbuttoned her jacket, then dropped it, uncaring where it landed. He could see the points of her nipples thrusting against the thin fabric of her blouse.

“Tell me, does the captain have any talents of his own?”

Gattra,
she could have any, or all, of his crew if she wanted, but she wanted him. Sexual adrenaline rushed through his system and he felt his brain turn to mush. All the reasons why he shouldn’t even consider this spun away before he could grasp a single one.

A smile turned up his lips. “My dear woman, a captain must be able to take over for any crew member at any time. I am well equipped to do anything my crew can do.” Images of what his crew was doing right now danced through his brain and his voice dropped a half-octave. “And more.”

Her gaze settled on his groin and he knew she wondered if he was as well equipped as Darrick. A devilish grin curled his lips. He unfastened the buttons of his shirt and thrust it off, then his fingers flicked open the button on his pants and he grasped the tag of the zipper.

“Stop.” Her gaze never wavered from his crotch.

His fingers paused, the zipper an inch down. His chest clenched painfully as he realized she had changed her mind. “Are you sure?” he asked.

“Yes.” Her voice turned husky. “I want to do that.”

Relief surged through him.

Her gaze slid down the broad expanse of his chest and his tightly muscled, washboard abs—a six-pack, as the young secretary in her office called it—to his partially open zipper. Was that partially open zipper going to hold its ground or start slipping down, bit by bit?

The tip of his cock peeked out over the dark fabric. It had been far too long since she’d been with a man and she’d never been with one as attractive as Tai.

She stepped toward him, aware that her hips swayed in a sensual rhythm and her nipples pushed sharply against her blouse, aching with every movement. She released the top button of her blouse, then the next.

He opened his hands in an inviting gesture.

“Go ahead. Appease your curiosity.”

She stared at his groin and the bulge beneath the fabric. She stroked her finger down his iron hard belly and over the waistband of his pants. Hesitantly, she rested her hand on the bulge.

It grew.

Slowly, she tugged the metal tag of his zipper downward. He wore no underwear so, as the zipper went down, his penis pushed outward. It pulsed and elongated, pushing farther out of its constraint.

Aria caught it as it dropped forward. She gasped at the hot weight of it in her hands, blazing against her palms.

His cock was at least as long as Darrick’s, maybe longer, and she couldn’t even close her hand around it. She had never seen a more beautiful sight.

While she held him cradled in her hands, he pushed his pants to the floor, then kicked them aside.

Tai had assured her he knew all the skills of his crew. Her breath caught at the thought of his huge penis inside her, swirling in exciting movement like Terrien had demonstrated.

She stroked its length with one hand, then decided she just had to taste it.

She knelt and wrapped both hands around it, then stroked it, tip to base. She licked the tip of his huge cock, then wrapped her mouth around him as best she could. His huge, delectable penis throbbed beneath her lips.

He filled her mouth like no man ever had. She twirled her tongue around the ridge, delighted at his groan. She dabbed at the tip with her tongue while encircling his girth in both her hands and stroking his length.

His hands stroked over her hair, then she felt him release the clip holding the tight coil against her head. The loose waves fell across her back and his fingers combed through them. The warmth of his touch as he brushed over her temple and across her scalp sent hot shivers through her.

She sucked on his cock, then released the tip and lapped her tongue the length of him. She swirled her tongue down the shaft in a spiral, then covered the head with her mouth and sucked him as deep as she could, wishing she could pull him deeper. Wrapping her hands around the hard, exposed flesh, she proceeded to suck and lick until his breath came in ragged grunts. Squeezing him between the roof of her mouth and her tongue, she pulsed and fluttered against him. His body tensed and she knew he was close, so she slipped her hands under his testicles and stroked the sensitive spot right behind them. He groaned and stiffened. Hot liquid spurted into her mouth and flooded the back of her throat. She sucked on him until his rigid body relaxed slightly and the stream of liquid stopped, then she slowly released him.

He drew her up and merged his mouth with hers. The feel of his lips triggered a tumultuous mass of confusing feelings inside her. Her lips seemed to blossom in exquisite pleasure.

“
Gattra
, you certainly know how to please a man!”

With quivering hands, he released the still-fastened buttons of her blouse and slid it from her shoulders. She let it fall to the floor. His frank, masculine scrutiny of her breasts, his silver-gray eyes warm and appreciative, made her feel extremely attractive. She reached behind her and released the clasp of her bra. He slipped the straps from her shoulders and drew the lacy garment away from her body.

The feel of the cool air on her breasts made her nipples harden. He smiled and leaned toward them. As he captured one hard nub in his moist mouth, she gasped. He twirled his tongue around it, sending fluttering waves of pleasure spiraling through her. His hand slid over her other breast and a duality of pleasure pulsed through her.

She wanted him inside her. Now. She shoved her skirt to the floor and stripped off her black, lace panties.

“Lie down,” she commanded.

He smiled and stretched out on the floor. She knelt over him and positioned his huge, throbbing cock between her legs, then lowered herself onto him. She was slick with need, but she could only take in a bit of him at first. His hands caressed her breasts as she pressed down, feeling her flesh expand around him as the head of his penis stretched her. Finally, the bulbous end was inside and she sighed at the full, stretched feeling. This was what she’d been longing for. He lay patiently, smiling up at her as she paused, allowing her body time to adapt to him. His fingers flicked lightly over her hard nipple, triggering spirals of pleasure.
