Taken by the Admiral (8 page)

She found herself wishing he would move around inside her, but she dared not ask about it. He’d mentioned pounding her. Did that mean what she thought it meant? She bit her lip and whimpered, squirming against him and hoping he would do something other than remain still inside her. She wondered if death by erotic torture was a thing. Surely she would combust if he didn’t start moving within her depths.

The relief that came when he finally withdrew partially from her pussy made her sigh blissfully. She parted her legs even wider, so wide her thighs burned, and he pushed into her harder and deeper than before. She moaned and tried to grab ahold of him, wanting to run her hands down his back, but he kept her wrists secured above her head, kept holding her captive.

A pained look crossed his face, and she got the feeling he was holding back.

“Blessed One, help me, but I cannot be gentle with you this first time.” He released her wrists and grabbed her hips in a bruising grip. A second later she learned just what he’d meant by
pounding
.

The mattress bounced underneath them as Cavvik thrust in and out of Lia, holding her in place as he fucked her and made her his. Her little pussy hugged his cock, her inner muscles clamping down on his length as she struggled to accept his generous size. He’d never taken the innocence of a woman before, never known the exquisite tightness of a virgin. It pleased him that no other man had touched her, that he was the first.

Dark spots clouded his vision as his release approached. He slowed, not wanting to spurt into her just yet. He wanted to stay in his moment forever, fucking her while she moaned and twisted around beneath him, staring up at him with those large, pretty blue eyes of hers.

Reffa
. She clamped down on his cock again and he instinctively pumped harder, unable to hold back any longer. Just before the first wave of his release hit him, he reached for Lia’s clit and started rubbing the swollen nubbin. She cried out as he jerked inside her. The rapid pulses of his orgasm grew stronger and stronger, until the height of his pleasure crashed over him and had him growling loud. He felt his hot seed spurting into her depths, and he circled her clit faster, rubbed harder.

“Come, Lia.” He met her eyes. “Come right now while my seed is jetting into you.”

When the last quake of his own release dissipated, he remained inside her and felt her muscles contracting around him. Her hips moved back and forth in his hold and she moaned, a desperate sweet sound that made him want to ravish her all over again.

At last, she fell silent, and he released her hips and gently withdrew from her pussy. She lay limp beneath him, though her chest rose and fell rapidly as she tried to catch her breath. He gazed down at her, marveling at the little human who was now his mate. Once a Varishan male declared a female his mate and claimed her, their union became a lawful union. Nothing but death would tear them apart now, and he planned for them to both enjoy a long, happy life together.

“My Lia,” he murmured, gathering her in his arms. “My little mate.” His heart felt as if it had grown a thousand times larger. She was soft and pliant in his embrace, and he arranged her sitting in his lap and stroked her hair. To his delight, she rested her warm cheek against his chest and sighed softly.

She was silent for a while, but finally said, “That didn’t feel wrong, or disgusting.” He felt her grin. “Barbaric, yes, but I liked that part of it.”

His ego inflated at her compliment. “I’m glad you enjoyed yourself, little human. Are you all right? If you are sore, I can call for the doctor.”

“I’m fine,” she said quickly. “Just a tad sore, but I’m sure it will pass.”

“Very well. Come, let us clean up and then I’m afraid I must leave you for a little while. There’s some business on the ship I must attend to.”

“When will we reach your home world?”

“In about ten days.”

He carried her into the large bathroom and sat her on a chair. The surprised look on her face when he pressed a button and the tub filled with water told him she’d probably never experienced the luxury of a bath in her life. Water was a scarce resource on the
Constantina
and they used sonic showers. He’d studied the scans of the ship extensively and probably knew more about its workings than Lia.

They both fit easily into the massive tub. As they relaxed in the hot water, with her seated between his legs and leaning back on him, he thought about their future and all that would happen once the fleet arrived back at Varishema. He needed to send word ahead that he’d already taken a female so the seven-day mating ceremony could be canceled. Many of the upper class business owners who always vied for their daughters to marry a strong and respected mate would be disappointed, but he didn’t care. Lia was perfect. Thank the Blessed One he hadn’t ignored his instincts and foolishly given her to another male.

“I can’t wait to walk barefoot on your planet,” she said, swirling her hand through the water. “I have dreamed all my life of walking barefoot in the dirt, or through the grass, or on a beach.”

“Varishema is a warm planet. Even during the cooler months on the Mohanna Mountains where we will live, it is usually warm enough to venture outside wearing little or even barefoot. There’s a lake nearby with a sandy beach, and walking paths through the forest. There are dangerous animals on the mountain, but as long as you stay near the house or on the walking paths, which are protected by sound waves that drive the deadly cats and bears away, you will be safe. I will extend the sound wave barrier around the lake as well, so you can enjoy plenty of walks on the beach. And as long as I’m with you, or you take one of the servants along, you can go swimming in the lake too. It’s usually not very cold.”

“I don’t know how to swim, but I look forward to dipping my toes in the water.” She shifted in the water and stretched her legs. “This is heavenly.”

“You can take a bath anytime you would like, Lia.”

“Thank you, Cavvik.”

He felt the last of the tension leave her body, and he hoped she was starting to trust him. Though mated, they still had to become better acquainted. He found himself hoping she liked him, hoping she grew to admire him, and yet he felt ridiculous for the thought. A Varishan male took the female he desired, with or without her consent. On his home world, daughters were protected after they came of age and not allowed to roam freely without armed guards, be they family members or hired hands. Most fathers tried to arrange for their daughters to marry a man of high standing, but some Varishan males thrilled in the hunt and the challenge of taking the female they desired, even if the girl was promised to another. An unprotected or poorly protected female was seen as fair game.

His culture differed greatly from the humans’ culture. On Varishema, sex was a perfectly natural thing. It wasn’t unheard of to witness a couple copulating in public, especially those newly mated. Many mated Varishans had sex when and wherever they wished, and there was no shame in it. The
Constantina
, on the other end of the spectrum, had been an oppressive environment, one where sex was practically equated with evilness. Those who desired intercourse were considered sick and in need of medicine or punishment. The fact that humans didn’t even have sex for procreation anymore spoke volumes toward their harsh level of repression. Those in command of the
Constantina
sought to control the population of humans from every angle, interfering with their private lives and robbing them of their most ancient, primal instincts. He wondered at the general mental health on the worldship.

It was a pity Captain Renard refused to listen to reason. The Varishans had offered clean, long-lasting fuel sources, as well as assistance in locating a vacant habitable planet, but the current captain was just as paranoid and distrustful of the Varishans as the previous captain, the captain who had apparently been Lia’s grandfather. Dealing with the
Constantina
was no longer his responsibility though. The worldship was nearing the edge of Varishan space, but even if they changed course another fleet of protectors would intercept them. Cavvik’s protector fleet was bound for Varishema after a long deployment protecting their territories. His men would get much needed respite on their home planet, and he suspected many would take mates upon returning.

He stayed with Lia in the tub until the ship clock chimed, indicating a change in shifts. As the admiral, he typically worked long hours, remaining on the bridge as much as possible, and visiting engineering when he grew bored staring at the endless expanse of space and stars zipping by.

“Be good while I’m gone,” he told her after he donned a clean uniform. “If you get hungry, there is plenty of food in the kitchen. I will return in the morning hours.”

Her breasts bobbed above the water and she straightened, giving him an indolent look. “Why can’t I leave your quarters? It’s not like I can escape the ship.”

“Watch your tone, Lia. If you push me to chastise you now, it will sting quite a bit when I crack my hand over your wet bottom cheeks.”

Her face turned red and she sank deeper into the water.

“I do not plan to let you out of my quarters until I’m confident you will behave properly in public. I can’t very well have a loud, foul-mouthed female wandering around the ship.”

“I’m only loud and foul-mouthed when I have reason to be,” she said in muted defiance, her eyes blazing but her tone at a mere whisper. “For example, when I’m stolen from my home or forced to endure a medical exam that I don’t even need.”

He raised an eyebrow at her and stood over the tub, his arms crossed. “If you’re a good girl while I’m gone, Lia, I will only use the smallest butt plug on you when we begin your anal training tomorrow. If I return to my quarters to find you’ve been up to mischief of any sort or you give me any more sass, I will insert a larger plug into your naughty bottom hole. Do you understand?”

She stared at him but said nothing.

“The correct response is, ‘yes, sir, I understand.’”

“Y-yes, sir. I-I understand.”

“Should you decide to start without me, the plugs are in the top drawer of the dresser closest to the bed. However, don’t you dare touch your pussy, Lia. If you touch yourself during my absence, I will spank your pussy when I return.”

Chapter Six

Who the hell did he think he was? Lia paced Cavvik’s quarters, fuming and wishing she hadn’t completely surrendered to him not an hour ago. He’d given her pleasure greater than she’d ever known, and he’d even treated her with kindness and made her feel special. She reminded herself that he’d claimed to be her master.
I’m your mate and your master.
His exact words.

If she hadn’t been afraid of men and had gotten married on the
Constantina
, she wouldn’t be here right now. She would still be with her people, and she would be her own person, or at least considered an equal to her husband. If only she could snap her fingers and appear in the small living space she had shared with Nicole. She ignored the sudden emptiness that filled her heart at the prospect of abruptly being back on the worldship and away from Cavvik.

On the
Constantina
, masturbation hadn’t been an issue for her. Even if Nicole had known she slipped her hands down her pajamas and stroked herself to bliss on occasion, she wouldn’t have betrayed Lia by informing the ship’s doctors of her illicit actions. That Cavvik would take away that one little act of rebellion she’d grown fond of put her out of sorts.

How would he even know if she touched herself in his absence? She scanned the room and didn’t see any cameras. She ran a hand through her hair and stopped pacing, feeling her face once again grow hot as she recalled the intimacies they had shared. The mental image of Cavvik naked, all dark golden skin and muscles, sent a quiver through her center.

She rushed to the kitchen and got herself a glass of cold water, but it didn’t help dull the increasing ache between her thighs. Fuck. Cavvik wasn’t due to return until morning, and though there wasn’t a clock in the room and she didn’t know exactly how they kept time on the ship, she figured it would be hours until she saw him again. Hours until he might touch her and bring her to the sweet abyss of release.

Hours until her anal training would begin.

She gulped and eyed the dresser he’d mentioned near the bed. She crossed the quarters and opened the top drawer. A wide, black box sat atop several clothing items. She took the box to the bed and sat down, curious about the contents but nervous about opening it. What if the smallest plug was too large for her? Were the plugs made for humans or for Varishan females? She’d heard the Varishan females were slightly larger than human females, so perhaps they could take larger plugs in their ass more easily.

She almost laughed at the absurdity of her situation. Yesterday at this time she’d been in the aeroponics center, making her rounds and optimizing the growth of the recent batch of strawberries, and now she was on a Varishan spaceship worrying over butt plugs.

Taking a deep breath, she flipped open the box. There were four sizes: large, larger, freaking huge, and no-way-in-hell. She picked up the smallest one, thinking
small
didn’t describe it. Sure, it fit in her hand just fine, but it was much thicker than the doctor’s fingers. Even with the generous amount of lubrication he’d applied, she had struggled to accept the two digits Doctor Sorn had inserted into her bottom.

She returned the plug and put the box back in the top dresser drawer. If she were braver, she would hide the plugs, but after a glance around the room she decided it didn’t matter. Cavvik would certainly find them. The room was sparse and all the furniture was bolted down. There was no clutter, and no real place to hide anything. Even the mattress didn’t pull up from the bed.

She resumed pacing his quarters. It felt like many hours had passed since he’d left her alone, though she suspected only two hours had gone by. To make matters worse, her arousal kept growing. Each time she glanced at the bed, all the deliciously naughty things Cavvik had done to her came rushing back. His mouth on hers, his hands roaming over every inch of her body, his huge cock ramming in and out of her aching pussy, and the epic orgasm he’d given her.
