Untamed Hawaiian Heat (Rift Hunters) (16 page)

Mateo sucked the stiff peak into his mouth and gently nipped it until she moaned. He pulled back and looked into her eyes. “I would like to know how you can permit him to kiss you…” He captured her mouth, delving his tongue between her lips far too briefly for her liking. “…caress you…” He stroked his fingers over her cheek, feathering them along her skin to her breast, where he pinched her nipple.

She arched into his touch, wanting more. “Mateo…” His name came out as more of a whimper than she’d intended.

He leaned in and breathed against her ear. “Tell me, Kiana, because I don’t understand. Why would you allow him to stroke your pussy?”

Kiana jumped when he slipped his fingers along her slick folds. She had been so caught up in the spell he’d created with his voice she hadn’t noticed he’d stopped fondling her breast and had unbuttoned her pants.

“How, Kiana? When you already feel that way with me.” He thrust two fingers deep, pressed up, and rubbed her G-spot.

She gasped for breath. “I…I…don’t know…Mateo. He’s awakened… something…inside me…something I can’t define…” She panted the words out as he continued to stroke her pussy. “I know…he’s…awakened it in…you…too.”

Mateo pulled his hand out of her pants and spun her around. He held her firmly against his chest and ground his cock into her ass. “Then I guess you need a reminder of who you belong to.” His hot breath fanned over her ear as he growled the words. He palmed her breast roughly, squeezing her nipple until she cried out in pleasure. “You’re mine, Kiana.” He walked her forward, pushing chairs out of the way, and forced her to lean over the table.

The coldness of the metal made her nipples harden. The sensation was both uncomfortable and pleasurable at the same time. She squirmed, bucking her hips back against him. “Mateo…” What she was going to say died in her throat when he jerked her pants down. She’d never seen this side of him. She closed her eyes, stunned by how turned on she was. He’d taken control of their love play before, but never with this level of dominance. A cold draft washed over her ass when he stood up. She whimpered at the loss, wishing he would drive his cock inside her, only to be shocked in the next instance when a resounding smack bounced off the walls.

Mateo rubbed her buttocks, soothing the sting from his hand, only to land another blow a moment later. He dipped his fingers between her ass cheeks until he reached the outer lips of her pussy, then teased her by inserting the tip of a finger inside.

“He can never make you feel this way, mi amante.”

Kiana screamed. Her pelvic muscles clenched, flexing in response to the invasion. Her fingers tingled as if she was the one pleasuring herself. Damn him! She should have known he’d open their link to torment her.

He continued thrusting his fingers deep as though he loved drawing such a strong reaction from her.

She sobbed at the intensity of the emotions that came crashing through their link. Along with those emotions came the rush of his magic, drawing her own from its core. It was like a floodgate had been opened after a week of nothing from him but an occasional stirring. Instantly she realized how much she’d missed being connected with him.

The only thing missing was…Tiaki.

The thought formed unbidden in her mind, and before she could stop it, she conjured an image of Tiaki and Mateo together, stroking each other’s cocks while she watched in anticipation of joining with them.

Mateo withdrew his hand completely, leaving her bereft. He also released her hands, though when she tried to pull them out from behind her back, they wouldn’t budge.

She twisted her head to the side, looked back, and gasped in surprise.

Mateo’s eyes were pitch-black, sapphire ribbons of energy swirling through their centers. The outer edges held a hint of the burnished shading she’d seen in Tiaki’s eyes when the three of them had made love. He unbuttoned his pants, his jaw clenched as he stared at her leaning over the table, completely exposed.

It dawned on her suddenly that she’d sent the image of him and Tiaki through their link. She sensed Mateo’s fight to control the barely restrained fury burning through his veins. Did he even realize he was tapping into his magic to help restrain her? She glanced down as he finally freed his cock from the confines of his pants. All thought of what he knew or didn’t know fled her mind at the sight of his cock. She licked her lips, a ravenous hunger burning through her to have him fill her.

Mateo grasped her hips and positioned the head of his dick at her entrance. He leaned down and nipped the shell of her ear. “I’m going to make you forget him, Kiana. I’m the only one who can satisfy you the way you need,” he said in a low, husky rumble just before he thrust his cock inside her.

She arched off the table, crying out as the experience of being fucked and being the one doing the fucking washed over her. He pulled out almost all the way, groaning at the eroticism of it. Then entered her so slowly, she thought she’d go insane from the pleasure of it. He continued his sensual assault of her nerves, obliterating everything else from her mind but the burning need he was creating in her core.

When fully seated inside her dripping pussy, he leaned down and whispered against her ear, “You’re mine, Kiana. Nothing he does will ever be as good as this.”

Kiana closed her eyes as another of the dreams she’d had years ago swam to the surface of her mind. Mateo, fucking her from behind like this while Tiaki filled her mouth with his cock. She could almost feel the tip of Tiaki’s cock teasing the back of her throat. She knew he would be experiencing everything she was doing to his body. The same as she could feel his and Mateo’s.

* * * *

Mateo pushed into Kiana with more brutality than he meant to when the image of her sucking Tiaki while he fucked her slipped into his mind with the force of a battering ram. He shook his head to clear it away, only to have it replaced with one of his own.

One of him pinned beneath Tiaki as Tiaki thrust into his ass.
Oh God!
Just the thought of it made him shake with need. It had been so long since he’d been with a man that way.
No! I WILL NOT go there!
He struggled to keep his thoughts from slipping through his link with Kiana.

He glanced down and lightly skimmed his fingers over the silken skin of her back, making her arch in pleasure. He concentrated on how it felt to be buried to the base of his cock inside her, the way she squeezed his shaft with her inner muscles, her juices coating it.

Digging further into the link between them, he let what Kiana was experiencing wash over him, driving his passion to an almost animalistic frenzy. She gripped his cock in her hot channel as though she were trying to keep him inside her.

He pulled out and plunged in again. Ecstasy burned through their blood, flaring hot and wild as each of their climaxes loomed closer. Kiana bucked against his hips, taking him to the hilt and attempting to push farther as though he couldn’t get deep enough.

“More, Mateo…please…I need…”

Mateo roared his frustration as the same feeling that something was missing seeped into his heart. The magic he’d learned about less than a month ago flooded him anew. It ignited something dark and decadent in his soul. Something he’d felt only once before and had never allowed himself to feel since. The desire to fuck a man sliced through him. No, not any man. Tiaki. He reached around and flicked Kiana’s clit, making her buck against him even harder. “Oh God, Kiana… I love the way you feel inside.” That was it. He just needed to focus on her. Mateo shoved the longing away and leaned his head against her back. He kissed the edge of the tattoo gracing her side along her hip, traced it with his tongue.

He opened his eyes when her magic shimmered to life under his mouth, searing his very soul with the intensity of it. In the back of his mind, he sensed the presence of what—no, who—was the missing piece of his heart. He shied away from examining the specter lurking in the shadows of his head and concentrated on Kiana.

He could feel her muscles clenching around him. Sensing her climax was near, he pounded into her harder, trying to ignore the missing piece.

Kiana cried out beneath him.

The wave of her orgasm crashed over his senses through their link. His control slipped, allowing an image of himself plunging into Tiaki while he fucked Kiana to form in his mind. All at once, the restlessness inside his soul stilled. His climax assailed his body with a piercing sense of completeness. He released his mental hold on Kiana’s hands and moved them to her sides.

He leaned over her until his chest was against her back. He lay there for several moments, his breath coming in short gasps. Closing his eyes, he could still see the mental images he’d had of being with Tiaki. Mateo had to draw on every trick he’d learned after Remi’s death to keep things he didn’t want to dwell on out of his thoughts. Especially his desire to be with a man.

Kiana shifted under him. “Why won’t you tell me who Remi is?”

Mateo opened his eyes to find Kiana looking at him out of the corner of her eye. The curiosity he saw burning in their depths told him he’d not been quick enough to shut the lid on his memories when he’d recalled how his lover had looked the last time they’d been together. “Someone from the past. Someone I don’t want to talk about.” He kissed her shoulder and leaned his forehead against her back. “You belong to me, Kiana. Not anyone else. Do you understand?” he whispered.

Kiana was silent so long Mateo thought she hadn’t heard him. Then he heard her say quietly, “Then what was the vision of you making love to Tiaki about?”

Mateo pulled out of her and started righting his clothes. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Kiana turned to face him, adjusting her clothes as well. “Bullshit. Why are you fighting this so hard, Mateo? I felt you respond more strongly when I pushed those images of the three of us through our link. And I know I didn’t imagine the one you sent.”

Mateo clenched his jaw and turned to leave, but Kiana grasped his arm. He looked down at her. “I don’t care what you think you felt, Kiana, about what happened last week or just now. You’re wrong.” He shrugged her hand off and walked to the door. “I didn’t respond any differently than I did before he arrived.”

“What the hell are you afraid of, Mateo? It’s obvious you’re attracted to men as well as women. You can’t hide that from me.”

He closed his eyes and ground his teeth together in an attempt to keep his anger in check. “Just leave it alone, Kiana. Whatever you think you see, you’re wrong.” He jerked the door open. “I don’t want to be with a man. Not now.” He didn’t wait to hear if she replied before he stormed out of the Com Center.

Not ever again.

Chapter Fourteen

“I’d be happy to talk with your crew and see if any of them—” Tiaki stopped talking abruptly. His chest tightened painfully as something teased his magic…called to it… He closed his eyes and reached out with his magic while attempting to keep a tight rein on it at the same time. A stab of longing mixed with a sharp pang of lust sliced through his gut.

“Are you all right?” Grant asked.

Tiaki opened his eyes to find Grant and Monte watching him. “Umm… Yes, I’m fine. Ah…” He glanced at the paper he held in his hand. “Monte, here’s the list of the other supplies I think we’ll need to continue training.” He shook his head, trying to clear away the intense emotions assailing him. “Vice Admiral, I’ll need to speak with each member of your crew so I can determine if they possess the magic naturally. If they do, then they are welcome to join in the training sessions.”

Grant clapped him on the back. “Please, call me Myles, or Grant if you’re uncomfortable using my given name. After how you saved my daughter’s life, there’s no need to stand on ceremony.” He smiled. “Hell, it practically makes you family.”

The memory of making love with Kiana and Mateo drifted through his mind.
Family
. The thought of them joining him in the soul bond and becoming his family sent warmth racing through him. It had been so long since he’d had a family. Not since his mother had passed away. He was just thankful she hadn’t seen what his brother had become. He opened his mouth to respond when a wave of dizziness washed over him and made him stumble.

Grant grasped him under an arm and steered him toward a large rock under a palm tree.

Monte waved a hand in front of Tiaki’s face. “Hey, man. Are you okay? You look a little pale. Maybe you should head over to the Med Center and have Niki check you out.”

“I agree with Monte. We can’t afford to have you out of commission. Not with the information you’ve just given us on the OS,” Grant said.

Tiaki sucked in a controlled breath as another wave of desire and something else crashed into him. “I don’t need her to check me out. I just need a little rest. Between being pulled through the rift, healing Mateo, and then saving Kiana, I’ve used more magic than I’m used to using in such a short period of time.” He lied. It had been nearly three weeks since he’d arrived. He’d had plenty of time to regain his strength. No, this had something to do with the soul bond. He was sure of it. God, he hoped they didn’t notice how carefully he was holding himself together. He didn’t know what the hell was going on, but he damn sure didn’t want anyone else trying to figure it out before he’d done a little research himself. “Go on. I’m just going to sit here for a moment, then head back to the barracks.”

Monte and Grant both looked at him skeptically. “If you’re sure,” Monte said. They both turned and headed toward the Med Center to check on Grant’s men.

Tiaki waited until they rounded the corner of the building before he leaned forward and took several slow, deep breaths. Focusing on the center of his magic, he loosened his control on it and started to seek for the source. He knew it didn’t have a damn thing to do with his reserves. It had been over a week since the battle, and he’d slept for two days straight immediately afterward. No, his reserves had been fully restored when he’d awoken with Kiana in his arms. And the sex he’d had with her and Mateo shortly thereafter had strengthened it even more.
