Devotion (Chosen by the Karal #5)(24)
Groaning, he began to undo her shirt, stripping it from her body, his hands stroking the swell of her breasts, and then moving to unclasp her bra. Once her breasts spilled out into his hands, he cupped them, rubbing his thumbs over her taut nipples.
“You are more beautiful than any of the stars in the universe,” he said, and kissed her breasts, his tongue lingering to swirl around her nipples. For a while, they enjoyed each other, kissing, stroking, caressing as they learned to relax. Then an urgency grew in Okil; he wanted to be inside her, and his hands moved to undo her plain grey pants. In stripping those from her body, here in a world filled with so much colour, Tikki felt as though he was stripping the last of Earth from her. She didn’t want to go back, and she knew she couldn’t go back. Whatever life held for her, Okil would be part of it, either on Karal or out in the deepest recesses of space.
As long as they were together, they would be home.
Dragging her pants down over her thighs, he undressed her. Then he stood, and stripped himself, standing proud and erect in front of her. Tikki moistened her lips, wanting to suck his erect cock, to taste him on her tongue as she had so many times before. But tonight, their relationship would be consummated completely. He wanted to be inside her and her sex ached for him.
Okil moved back to the bed, covering her body with his. He supported his weight on one elbow, while his fingers probed her wet sex. She was ready for him, they had waited so long, too long, and now they would be joined as one.
Guiding himself forward, he breached her outer lips, his eyes fixed on hers as he moved. This might be their first time, yet her nerves had disappeared: there was already a bond between them that could not be broken; she was not some scared virgin. She had already given her heart and soul to him; now it was her body’s turn to accept him. He pressed forward, and her inner walls stretched to accommodate him.
Okil’s breath hissed as he pushed into her further. He was trying to be gentle, but she could feel the tension in his body. He wanted to drive into her hard, to claim her in a primal way, but he held himself together, pausing when he took her virginity and she tensed beneath him. His lips found hers and he kissed her, his tongue sliding into her mouth as he sought to soothe her.
Tikki wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him close, trying not to cry out as the pain subsided. When he began to move, he took the pain away, erasing it and replacing it with the most wonderful pleasure as the large head of his cock stretched her, and the ridges of his shaft stimulated her inner walls.
Damn, he was made for satisfying her. His body was an electrifying wave of colours, stimulating her every nerve ending, and she felt it as love; he freed his emotions and let them flow though her until she cried tears of joy. In and out he moved, deeper, harder, and with each stroke his emotions intensified, so that when he came, his cock seeming to fuse to her inner walls. He took her with him and they floated into the stars, two beings joined as one at last, wrapped together in love and acceptance. This was where they belonged; the ground under their feet would never matter. Earth, Karal, or an unknown planet: none of that would matter as long as they had each other.
Chapter Seventeen – Okil
“I have made you both breakfast,” Okil said, taking a tray of food into his bedroom.
When he got up, around an hour ago, he had gone to check on Charlie and found him beginning to stir. Carefully picking the child up, he had carried him into his bedroom where Tikki was still asleep. Charlie had snuggled against her and promptly gone back to sleep, Okil had left them quietly to rest while he had prepared to visit the tower.
Making a mug of tole, he took it into his garden, and sat and watched the two suns rise in the sky and chase the chill from the air. While he sipped the coffeelike drink, he went over his explanation of why he had brought an extra female to Earth. He also tried to work his way through all of the information he had about Charlie and the people hunting him and Tikki.
As soon as he had been to the Hier Council, he would go to the simulation computer that was housed in the tower; it held all the knowledge accumulated by the Karal. From there he would be able to sift through the available data and images sent by the probes, which were still stationed around the Earth. They transmitted data through the wormhole, which the sim collated. There were many such probes scattered throughout the universe; it was the Karal’s way of keeping an eye on the universe.
Okil planned to try to retrieve as much information as he could about Harri and the people he might work for. If he could piece the puzzle together, he might be able to find a way to help Charlie. But if he did help get rid of the threat, would Tikki then want to return to Earth with Charlie? They might get lucky and smuggle Charlie back out, but the council would never agree to Tikki leaving.
As far as he knew, letting any female leave, especially once they had mated with a Karalian, was not part of their policy at all. Once a female left Earth and came to Karal, there was no option to return. Okil wasn’t sure why. But the Karal kept their planet and their technology to themselves, strange since his species had made their greatest technological advancements by using the knowledge of others. Yes, even when the President asked about the cruisers, Okil knew the answer would be a resounding no. There would be no giving away Karal’s secrets.
All of these thoughts went around in his head while he drained his cup of tole and then returned to the kitchen to make breakfast. He wanted his guests to have a breakfast they would remember, especially since they had hardly eaten yesterday. So he had made some fresh pastries, and filled them with delicious filling, a mixture of savoury and sweet. As he worked, he realised these were the things he did not know about Tikki.
