Best Friends (New Species #15)(30)

“I’d like to see that.”

She’d clearly surprised him. His mouth opened then closed.

“Do you ever jack off?”

“Often.”

She liked that he was honest. Most men she’d known denied doing that. “I get myself off, too. I even own a bullet.”

“Is that a sex toy?”

“Yes. It’s a tiny vibrator with different speeds. I use it against my clit to get myself off. I don’t own any dildos. Those are sex toys that resemble penises.” She knew she was blushing again.

“I’ve heard of vibrators. You won’t need one anymore.” A smile curved his lips. “You have me.”

She remembered well that his mouth vibrated when he growled going down on her. “Snow? I’m super turned-on right now.”

“Me too.” He straightened and pulled her to her feet, leading her into the bedroom.

She was happy to follow. He released her at the bed and grabbed the waist of his sweatpants, shoving them off. She didn’t need to be told to remove his shirt. She tossed it aside. Snow’s body took her breath away. His cock was rock hard once again, and he looked gorgeous as he approached. She climbed on the mattress and got in the middle.

He climbed on the bed after her and sat on his legs at the end of it. Then, to her surprise, he reached for the condoms near him. He removed one from the strip and tore open the edge.

“Snow? You don’t have to use one.”

He met her gaze as he rolled the condom over his cock. “I need to.”

Maybe he didn’t trust her when she said she was STD-free.

He seemed to see something on her face and instantly came down over her, pinning her before she could react. His face hovered over hers, their gazes locked together. It surprised her but she wasn’t afraid. She knew Snow wouldn’t hurt her.

He cleared his throat, his expression tense. “Why do you look pained? Please tell me, Mel.”

“I was cleared by my doctor. I would never lie about something like that. I don’t have any STDs. I’ve always been super careful.”

He shook his head. “That’s not it. I trust you. I believe you.” He hesitated, searching her eyes with his. “Can I share something very secret with you, Mel? Promise me you won’t ever tell anyone?”

She nodded. “I promise.”

“There is a risk of pregnancy.”

She gaped at him, stunned.

“We aren’t exactly sure how Mercile created us,” he rushed on. “They destroyed all the evidence of what they’d done when they were raided and we were freed. None of us have our medical histories. What if I’m more human than canine? They gave us a lot of drugs that could have harmed us, but we weren’t all given the same things. They did various testing on Species. Nothing was routine. Please don’t ask me to explain more than that.

“I put on a condom to protect you from the chance of pregnancy. Not out of distrust of your word. But no one can ever know that. We have enemies who would be highly riled if they thought it was possible we could have young. Mercile tested dangerous drugs on us all the time. They abused us. Now, we’re free and healthy, and pregnancy is a possible risk that has been discussed among the doctors we hired. That’s why I put on a condom.”

She nodded. “Okay…that makes sense.”

He looked relieved. “You can’t tell anyone, Mel.”

“I understand. I swear I won’t. Has that happened? I mean…you know.”

He hesitated. “You’re the only human I’ve shared sex with. Our doctors advised us to wear condoms because of the possibility. That is all I can tell you.”

She reached up and stroked his chest. She loved feeling the heat of him. Then she blurted the first thing that came to mind. “I read a story about pandas and how difficult it is to breed them in captivity. It usually doesn’t work because they’re stressed from being watched all the time and living in a habitat instead of being in the wild. Maybe that’s why no New Species ever had babies when you were locked up at Mercile, and why your doctors think it could be possible now.”

Snow nodded. “Maybe.”

Mel felt happy for him. “That’s great, right? I really hope it happens. You know, that New Species are one day able to have babies.”

“Would you like to have young, Mel?”

“Sure. Who wouldn’t? But I’m good if it never happens. I can barely support myself. I can’t imagine trying to raise a baby on what I make.”

He leaned in closer and kissed her. She stopped thinking. All she wanted was Snow inside her. She didn’t even need foreplay. Just his kiss and the memory of what it felt like before was enough to make her wrap her legs around his waist and start writhing against him.

He broke the kiss. “I want to go down on you and taste you again.”

“Later,” she panted. “Inside me now.”

He complied, and she moaned as he entered her body. Snow felt so good, and he moved slowly this time, making love to her. She could feel her heart getting addicted to him, right along with her body.





Chapter Eight



Mel couldn’t stop thinking about Snow. It might have been only yesterday morning since he’d returned her to town, but she missed him. Saying goodbye and watching him leave in the SUV had been difficult. Part of her had wanted to yell out to him to take her with him. She’d refrained.
