Ellora's Cavemen: Tales from the Temple II (8 page)

Heat radiated in her lower belly at his foreign words and she instinctively knew he’d just told her to let go. Erin curled her toes on his legs, gaining purchase as she pressed against him and sought her climax.

Her movement caused her backside to brush against his erection. Over the sound of the splattering water, Kian groaned low and deep near her ear. His hand moved from her breast to her mound and he immediately plunged two fingers deep inside her core.

Erin called out his name as he gave her body exactly what it needed. Her sheath instantly contracted around his fingers and her heart raced as she moaned in pure pleasure. Through half-closed eyes, she noticed the shadows on the shower walls change as the candlelight sputtered and dimmed. Even the warmth and wetness of the shower seemed to fade until only the heat of Kian’s body, the brand of his touch, and the promise of fulfillment, dominated her brain. She rode her climax, arching against him in total, blissful abandon, moaning her pleasure against his neck.

With her heart still racing and the final spasms of her orgasm throbbing throughout her body, Kian swiftly stood with her and turned her around to face the wall. Taking her hands, he pressed her palms to the white tile as his cock nudged against her moist entrance from behind.

Erin had never had sex in this position. For that matter, she’d never had sex in a shower before. The entire experience made her feel wanton, dominated and oh-so-ready to be fucked…she’d worry about protection in another life. It’s not as if someone like her often got a chance to meet someone like Kian, let alone have passionate sex with him.

Excitement shot through her as he kept one hand over hers on the wall. His chest pressed against her back while he whispered in her ear, “Trust and know that I can’t give you a child this way, Eriana.”

She gave a doubtful laugh and panted out in a sarcastic tone, “I’d like to know your idea of how you
could
impregnate me then.”

“Where I come from it takes more than a joining of bodies,” he said in a rough voice as he kissed her neck then entered her body in one forceful thrust. His aggressive action sent any thoughts of trying to make sense of his words right out of her mind.

She cried out at the full stretching of her inner walls, the depth of his penetration, but Kian didn’t give her a chance to pull away. He slid a hand down her lower belly and pressed against it as he withdrew and thrust back inside her again and again. With each plunge he took, he hit her hot spot inside while the counterpressure from his hand on the outside of her body only heightened the sensations rocking through her. Erin keened her delight and rocked her hips, pushing back against him, accepting his forceful pistoning with reckless abandon.

“Kian!” She screamed his name as her body began to pulsate around him.

“Shimnara,”
he groaned as he bit down on her shoulder and rammed into her once more.

Never in her life had a sexual experience compared to being with Kian. The erotic sensation of being bitten while in the throes of a full-blown orgasm only fueled her libido further.

Erin’s heart threatened to burst from her chest. She moaned long and loud as a deeply satisfying climax rippled throughout her body. When she opened her eyes it was to see the entire room slowly fade to black. Surrounded by pure darkness, the only sensation she felt was Kian surrounding her with his heat, filling her with his body while her walls contracted around his cock.

The last thing she remembered before she succumbed to the lightheadedness racking her brain was the screaming sound of a large wildcat off in the distance.

Grrrrroooowl.

When Kian sat down on a stool in the bathroom with her in his arms Erin opened her eyes. After he’d rubbed a towel all over her body and her hair, he stood her up and opened the bathroom door. Running his hand across the mirror above the sink, he wiped away the steamy mist.

“What do you see? he asked, his tone low and quiet.

She looked up at his handsome face, his dark eyebrows, his long, thick, wet hair slicked back from his head, making his angular features that much more dominant and downright sexy. “I see a tall, handsome man named Kian,” she responded, not sure what he wanted from her.
Well, other than to be with a woman who could stay conscious

more than a half hour,
she thought with a wry smile. Did she really faint from that orgasm?

Kian reached around from behind her and touched her jaw, turning her gaze until she saw herself in the mirror.

“No, Eriana. What do
you
see?” He repeated his question, patience evident in his tone.

Regretfully she pulled her gaze from his in the mirror to look at herself. “I see an average looking woman with shoulder length blah light brown hair and hazel green eyes.”

She met his gaze in the mirror once more, sighing. “I’d rather look at you.”

Kian’s eyes narrowed and his jaw hardened. He brushed his finger down her cheekbone. “High and defined.”

He then slid his finger across her chin. “Strong and determined.”

Moving his thumb to her mouth, he said as he brushed her lower lip, “Full and sweet.” He leaned close and whispered in her ear, “I can’t wait to feel your lips around my cock, sucking me long and hard.”

Erin’s heart jerked in her chest at his lurid words. She’d never been more turned on in her life.

His warm breath fanned against her check as he continued. “Did you know your eyes turn the shade of Aradan jade when you’re aroused? Look and see.”

Erin quickly glanced in the mirror. Even in the dim candlelight, she could see her eyes were a shade she’d never seen before—a beautiful shade of dark green.

Her lips parted in surprise at the discovery of herself the way Kian saw her. She closed her eyes when his hands came around and cupped her small breasts, then plucked at her nipples.

“Responsive in every way,” he said in a hoarse voice before he swiftly turned her around. Grasping her upper back, he pulled her close and captured a nipple in his mouth, sucking the tip, nipping at her until she clung to his shoulders in sheer ecstasy, her body primed to be taken again.

Flicking her wet nipple with his tongue, he gave her a devilish look. “More than a mouthful is wasteful,
a nara
. My mouth is only
so
wide.”

Lifting his head, he slid his hands to her waist and pulled her against him, saying in a serious tone, “I like a woman who can handle my weight, not one who’s going to break underneath me.”

Tears filled her eyes at his words. The knowledge that he found her desirable in every way sent a tingling sensation zinging through her body all the way to her toes.

She slid her fingers through his wet hair and pulled his head close. “Then I’m your woman,” she whispered right before she touched her lips to his.

Breaking their kiss, he slid his hands down her spine, clasped her rear, and pressed his erection against her belly. “You
are
mine, Eriana. In so many ways you have yet to comprehend,” he finished as his mouth covered hers once more.

Erin’s head reeled at the possessive nature of Kian’s kiss, how well he wove his seductive web around her. She melted against him and almost forgot the candle when he picked her up in his arms to carry her out of the room.

Kian let her set the candle on the nightstand before he tugged back the burgundy down comforter and laid her in the bed. Crawling in beside her, he leaned against the headboard and pulled her between his legs, leaning her back against his chest.

Kissing her on the neck, he slid his hands down her chest to fondle her breasts.

“Tell me what happened. Your cryptic email of “‘You were right. In five minutes I’m en route to the destination you recommended,’ doesn’t necessarily tell me everything.”

As he kissed a path from her collarbone to the sensitive spot behind her ear Erin answered him in a breathless voice, “You just
have
to hear how right you were, don’t you?”

“No.” He stopped his seduction of her body and turned her face until she looked at him. Brilliant green eyes locked with hers. “I think it’ll ease your fear if you talk about it.”

A shudder passed through her that he seemed to know her so well yet had only just met her. She turned away, confused but oddly comforted that someone else understood just how scared she was. Over the past several days, she’d had to hide her fear behind a mask of professional academic acceptance as her ‘scientific discovery’ came crashing down around her.

Kian wrapped his arms around her, surrounding her with his warmth. He whispered in her ear, “Tell me.”

She sighed and tried to suppress the shiver of apprehension that started in her body as soon as she thought about the recent past. “A few days ago I sent off an email to my superior at the University to tell him I had finally succeeded in my research.”

“Creating the ability to time-travel,” he interjected.

She nodded. “I thought time-travel would be a wonderful tool for mankind. The future holds many discoveries, hopefully including medical advances. A cure would be found for every illness eventually. So why not benefit our race today and make those discoveries sooner…er, with a little help.”

Her voice turned bitter and her entire body tensed as she thought of the domino effect her breakthrough had wrought. “But little did I know just how politically active the head of the Physics department was. I later learned Daniel Haughten had been involved with a secret military defense organization for years. When he read my email about the successful outcome of my research, he immediately realized the potential time-travel could have for giving our military an advantage and pounced on it.”

Kian splayed his hand over her ribcage and rubbed his thumb under the curve of her breast in a rhythmic motion as if his touch alone could soothe her frazzled nerves.

“Wouldn’t the military personnel’s memories be lost, too, when they came back to the past—all they’d learned for naught?”

“That’s the theory, yes. Why do you think I’m running? Not only did I not give them the entire process it takes to create a rift in time in my initial documents—I retained the code key to turn on the energy source—but my boss insisted I also create a

‘vacuum’ that wouldn’t be affected by the change in the time continuum. He was right.

That was something I had initially overlooked in my haste to successfully establish the ability to time travel.”

“A vacuum? You mean like a room?”

“No, they just wanted a vial, something small that would fit in a person’s hand—a place where a digital chip could be hidden. That way when they came back from the future, the information they’d collected couldn’t be erased in the trip back in time.”

She turned to face him, her gaze searching his. “Think about it, Kian. If Daniel’s group were able to retrieve advanced weapons from the future, entire nations could fall.

The balance of world power could so easily be shifted in their favor until there would be only one dominant country.”

Kian nodded as he ran his hands down her arms and across her belly. She turned away once more, tremors of anxiety making her voice quiver. “All because one nation would have the ability to bend time.”

Leaning her head back against his neck, she continued in a sad tone, “Daniel was so blinded by the potential military aspects that could benefit from time-travel, he didn’t even consider the whole point of my discovery…a world without disease.”

Kian had begun to massage her neck while she spoke, but his hands stilled at her last words. “That’s where you’re wrong, Eriana.”

“Huh?” she said, turning her body around to face him and tucking her knees underneath her. Her heart raced at his revelation.

He reached up and brushed a tendril of hair away from her cheek before rubbing his thumb along her jaw. The reverent look on his face made her heart constrict with emotion. With every word, every touch…he made her feel more and more cherished.

“I’m not from your world,
a nara—
” he began.

She leaned back with a grin, letting amusement reflect in her gaze. “You can say that again, hot stuff. No way would I see someone like you roaming the labs at the University.”

A look of sheer determination filled his gaze. “That’s not what I meant.” Clasping her shoulders, he stared at her as if willing her to believe.

She let her gaze roam his body.

Gimme a break
.
He looks human. Okay, there was the strength he’d displayed earlier by
ripping my door off my car as if he were popping open a can of chips, but he
did
mention
adrenaline. God knows he
feels
human
, she thought with an inward chuckle as she remembered how well his cock filled her body.

Kian clasped her chin in his hand and elevated her head until she looked at him.

“And I won’t let you forget how well I fill you, Eriana, as I plan to again and again.”

Warmth rushed to her sex at his adamant statement while her eyes grew wide with shock as realization dawned on her.
Had he just read her mind?

“Yes,” he replied, his expression impassive.

Erin shook her head and scooted away, refusing to believe. “You
look
no different from any other human man.”

He raised an eyebrow. “What? You expect me to look like a little green man?”

She folded her arms over her breasts in a defensive manner and glanced around the room accusingly as she said in a loud voice, “No. What I think is…” She paused and raised her voice in case she was being recorded, “someone is playing a cruel joke on me.”

Kian moved toward her on his hands and knees, stalking her, his expression intense, almost feral. “What will it take to convince you?”

Read my mind, Mr. Man-From-Planet-Gorgeous. I want to know what
your
mouth feels
like on
me, she thought with a smirk.
