Cosmic Bliss (5 page)

His movements stilled, but his hands clutched her ass
firmly. “What is it?”

“I need you to keep moving,” she replied.

Suddenly, he pulled her away from the wall and walked back
over to the bed. He maneuvered them both onto the bed without dislodging his
cock. “Forget about whatever is making you feel sad. Just concentrate on the
way your body feels as I fuck you.” His words sent little shocks down her
spine.

He reached down and began to play with her clit. He thrust
more forcefully. It cleared her head of everything, but the way he felt inside
her. Pleasure bound her tightly, forcing her body higher and higher until she
burst apart from it. Her sheath twitched and clutched at Shunyuan’s cock until
he joined her in release. She was too exhausted to stay awake. She just hoped
he would be there when she awoke.

He had known he was hurting her by not fucking her. He
couldn’t explain how he knew. He had only wanted to extract information, but
then he had felt her agony and he wasn’t able to keep torturing her. For some
reason, it was repellent to him. Whatever link they shared also convinced him
she hadn’t purposefully done anything to him. She wasn’t telling all she knew
though.

She also hadn’t liked his attempt to extract information.
He’d been amazed by the way she’d kicked him in the chest to get away from him.
She’d turned from pleasured woman to pirate captain in the blink of an eye. She
wasn’t to be taken advantage of without consequences and despite himself, he
enjoyed her fierceness.

She was asleep again. He made her more comfortable on the
bed before getting up and grabbing a glass of water from the bathroom to clear
his head.

His goal was to return to Earth and help the resistance. His
entire life had been spent defending and fighting. First, as his father
explained, his role as a teen bigger and stronger than the others was to
protect and not harm. He was raised to be a leader and to look out for anyone
weaker.

Shunyuan had carried the same philosophy into the Marine
Corps. He’d fought for and defended his country. When he’d left the Corps, he’d
taken over as sheriff when his dad had retired.

Then black spacecraft filled with the beast-like aliens had
terrorized the skies and decimated every country on Earth. He’d taken as many
of the townspeople who had survived into the sanctuary of the mountains and
joined the fight for a free Earth. He needed to return.

Unfortunately, whatever Acia had done to him made him feel
guilty for wanting to leave her. It was ridiculous. He didn’t even know the woman.
They’d just met and there was no logical explanation for how drawn he was to
her or how the sight of her made him want to relegate any and everything else
to last on his list after taking care of her.

He looked at her through the bathroom door. She slept
sprawled on her stomach. Sylph-like and glistening, she slumbered with her hair
pooled around her shoulders.

His mouth tightened and he turned abruptly away. He tossed
the cup into the sink and clutched the edge of the counter. He was getting out
of here as soon as he completed his obligation to Acia. His hand automatically
came to rub his chest as the cord he felt there tightened. Shunyuan gritted his
teeth. Once he left the ship whatever voodoo or alien magic she had cast over
him would be gone.

But she was so beautiful. He turned back slowly. As if
compelled, he approached the bed. He trailed a finger down her arm. So smooth.
Shunyuan slid under the covers next to her. He hesitated then pulled her close.

She nuzzled him and he marveled at how slight her form was.
Holding her did not mean he was staying. He had to return. There was so much
that still needed to be done. Shunyuan’s spirit wouldn’t allow him to rest
until he’d done all he could for the people of Earth. He would die trying to
free Earth from its alien invaders.

Acia flailed awake. “Shunyuan!”

“I’m here. Did you have a bad dream, Acia?” He smoothed her
hair.

“No, I…” She looked down.

“What? Tell me.”

“I felt as if you were in danger.” Her eyes were glued to
the bed’s coverlet.

“I’ve been here thinking. I’m not in any more danger than
before you fell asleep.” She was rubbing her body against his.

Damn if his cock didn’t immediately go on full alert. He
inhaled swiftly. The woman had almost no curves, but from the first moment he’d
seen her, his body had reacted more strongly than he had to the most
full-bodied woman he’d ever met. It was as if she was the sexiest woman alive.
She licked his nipple. His senses exploded and his body pulled taut. Maybe she
was the sexiest.

“On a scale from one to ten, how bad is the fervor right
now?” He flipped her on her back and began kissing his way down her neck.

“Seven,” she gasped.

“Tell me when it’s a ten.” He breathed against her
collarbone.

He kissed and licked his way down to a cherry-red nipple.
She was sleek and beautiful. Her breasts were more than a bee sting, but
slightly less than a mouthful. Her skin was soft and exotic. It glittered and
flashed in the light.

He sucked on each one, trying not to pay more attention to
one than the other. Acia’s fingers clenched in his hair.

“Shunyuan, that feels so delicious.”

He kissed and licked his way down her belly. Acia opened her
legs wide, seemingly more than happy for him to continue his exploration. He
licked her from her perineum to her clitoris in one long stroke.

“You bring joy to my woman’s place, Shunyuan.”

He open-mouthed kissed her, encompassing the inner and outer
lips. “This is called a pussy, Acia. It’s a very pretty pussy. It glitters on
the outside and is a pretty pink on the inside. Say, please eat my pussy,
Shunyuan.”

She wriggled and moaned. “Please eat my pussy, Shunyuan.
Please.”

“Reach down and hold this pretty pussy open for me.” He
kissed her there again, sucking sharply before letting go.

She froze. He realized she was holding her breath.

“Do it, Acia,” he said sharply.

She jerked and slowly reached down with both hands and
pulled open her blood-engorged outer lips. She was as wet as he could hope for.
He dove in, applying himself to pleasure as he hadn’t ever in his life. He
licked every drop of her sweet nectar, making sure to fuck her repeatedly with
his tongue. Her fingers trembled as she tried to obey his command to hold
herself open even as her body bucked and convulsed. He bathed her fingers with
his tongue as he lapped up all of her juices.

“Please, Shunyuan, please, please.”

He grabbed the cute little globes of her ass and then sucked
hard on her clitoris. She screamed, her voice high, yet still retaining the
sound of chimes tinkling merrily.

Shunyuan smiled against her pussy. An overwhelming feeling
of pleasure and satisfaction slammed into him. While he was experiencing
massive amounts of delight, these feelings weren’t his own.
Acia. The damn
link again.
Quickly, he pushed the feelings away, blocking them using the
same technique he used for meditation.

His cock was straining, but he controlled it. With a groan
he rolled to his back and tried to think of anything besides sweet little Acia
lying pliant and open next to him. Shunyuan swung his forearm over his eyes and
attempted to count backward in his head.

Slender fingers encircled his cock and slid up and down.
Despite himself, he strained into the touch. Her hand was warm and cradled him
just right. The caress dragged a bit, allowing her fingers to linger as if she
was reluctant to let go of any part of his cock.

“You have given me joy now twice with your mouth. I
wonder—will my mouth have the same effect on you?”

He lowered his forearm from his eyes slowly. She sat naked
on her knees looking down in wonder as his cock danced and bobbed in her hand.
Bad
dick.

To his lust-filled mind she leaned forward in slow motion as
the word
stop
dried in his throat. He wasn’t prepared for her to rub her
cheek against his cock in a surprisingly tender move before licking him from
base to tip. Shunyuan’s back arched. She did it again and again, swirling her
tongue and treating his cock as though it was a frozen treat.

He could worry about the bond later. “Take my cock into your
mouth and suck me, Acia.”

She paused, tongue out, and met his eyes. Her eyebrows
raised in surprise. She sat up for a moment and simply looked at his cock.

“It won’t fit.”

“Some of it won’t but most of it will. Do what I tell you,
Acia.” He added a little sting to his voice.

He sensed the thrill along their connection. She liked when
he told her what to do. At least in the bedroom—he wasn’t likely to try it on
the bridge of her ship. As she stroked him in her hand, he anticipated the feel
of her mouth surrounding his cock. He was in for a real treat.

Acia gazed down at the solid warmth in her hands. She licked
her lips. His cock was flushed a slightly darker color than the rest of his
flesh and the
uyhz-
shaped head was lighter. It was silky smooth with the
feel of ridges underneath and he smelled wonderful. Delicious even.

She tried what he suggested and opened her mouth to take in
the head of his cock. The liquid he made from the little slit was both slightly
salty and slightly sweet. Shunyuan moaned and lightly laid his strong hand on
her head.

Emboldened, she slowly allowed more of him into her mouth.
His cock created more salty-sweet liquid and she sucked harder, trying to get
as much of it as she could.

“Ah.” Shunyuan gasped. “Keep sucking and take more into your
pretty mouth. You can do it.”

She wanted to preen under his encouragement. Along the link
she could feel how excited he was and how wonderful her touch was making him
feel. She took more of him into her mouth then pulled back still sucking his
cock and swirling her tongue.

He hissed. “You’re a natural. Do it again and again, but
faster.”

Her hand tightened as she tried to get a better grip to pull
him to her mouth. The link flared brighter with his delight so she did it
again, her closed fist moved up and down as she sucked on his cock. Her jaw was
starting to hurt, but she was too excited to stop. Their link was not closed
and she could feel his joy. There was so much pleasure he couldn’t block
himself from her. Her pussy clenched in response.

She pushed her feelings along their link, knowing he wasn’t
shut off from her. He jerked and then froze with his hand pressing the back of
her head firmly. Her eyes widened as more of the salty-sweet and sticky liquid
he made shot into her mouth. A lot more. She swallowed repeatedly, trying not
to miss any. Her pussy throbbed and when he finally released her head and
relaxed against the bed her hand immediately sought out her woman’s place. She
rubbed, loving the sensations that shot through her.

Shunyuan opened one eye and looked at her. He laughed. “You
look as if you’ve discovered something there?”

“I didn’t pay much attention to this part of me before. This
is wonderful, but it still doesn’t feel the same as when you do it.”

Shunyuan’s hand joined hers. His hand framed hers and he
guided her fingers. Immediately, the pleasurable feelings tripled and she
widened her legs to allow him more access. Shunyuan turned to face her and sat
up. He guided her two fingers to caress her clit and glide slowly over her
pussy lips before thrusting into her. He tucked his strong, hot body around
hers and, catching her mouth, kissed her with enough passion she felt drawn
tight.

He left her mouth and dragged his lips down the column of
her throat.

“You’re scratchy.” She shivered.

“I need to shave.” He planted light kisses along the trail
he’d just taken, soothing the slightly abraded skin.

She reached her free hand up to touch his jaw and the short,
prickly hair growing there. He nipped at her hand and she laughed, startled. He
smiled against her throat and kissed her collarbone. Acia could feel her heart
pounding in her chest. The rhythm matched the throbbing in her pussy. She knew
what her body was building up to. She couldn’t wait.

He licked around her breast before sucking on her nipple.
She gasped and fell back, but his other hand was suddenly there at the small of
her back, pushing her forward against his swirling fingers and flickering
tongue.

Desire beat at her, winding itself in and out of her muscles
and cells. She was bow tight, yet a strange languor had descended over her
brain. Shocks traveled from her woman’s button to her nipples and back. She
felt the sensations from their love play crash over her in waves.

He had fully taken her over even as her own fingers
continued their quest between her legs. He was controlling her body. There was
nothing she could do about it. Acia gripped his shoulder and moaned low as she
erupted into orgasm. She immediately lost muscle control and slumped toward
him, sucking in air and twitching slightly.

Shunyuan rearranged her gently on her back then sank into
her pussy. She was unable to move and could only stare as he gazed down at her,
expression fierce, link wide open. He tightened above her quickly, thrust so he
was tight against her pussy and climaxed. She’d left herself so open through
the link she went with him, her tired body clamping down on his again. He shook
his head and gave a guttural moan before he gathered her close and covered her.
His body kept her warm.

* * * * *

Hours later, Acia nudged him awake. She knelt on the bed,
shaking slightly. Her eyes were wide in her pale face. He blinked his
sleepiness away and sat up against the wall. He’d stuck a couple of condoms
under his pillow. He reached for one and prepared himself.

He tapped her thigh lightly. “Climb up.”

He knew she was too far gone for foreplay right then. He
watched as she scooted close to him and then raised one glittering leg and
straddled his lap. He guided her hips down so she slid onto his cock slowly.
Her head fell back and she began a disjointed rise and fall.

“Slow down,” he whispered.

“I—can’t,” she stammered.

He felt for her hair where it trailed down her back. He
gathered the ends and then slowly wound her cool, soft hair around his hand.
When he pulled her head back she froze.

“See, you can slow down.”

He pulled her head toward him, still tugging her hair, and
kissed her softly. Her mouth was warm, moist and enticing beneath his and he
took the kiss deeper, allowing their tongues to dance together. She shivered.
Ah, she desired a firm touch. He used his other hand to guide her hips so she
arched back and scooped forward.

“Ah.” Her eyes brightened.

“Keep this pace going for a while. Don’t stop. Do you
understand?” He laced his voice with command.

She nodded.

“Answer me when I ask you a question, Acia.” He pressed her
hip down so she couldn’t move and stared into her eyes. He began to raise his
hips, pressing his cock inside her slick walls. Her violet eyes were large and
wild in her delicate face.

She whimpered and tried to move against him. The hand in her
hair and the one at her hip tightened. He knew the grip would be slightly
painful, but her body quivered again and her eyes flashed. Apprehension and
intense pleasure washed toward him, and he gritted his teeth against her
feelings. He couldn’t sense anger in her and he didn’t seem to be making the
fervor any worse. Her legs gripped him tightly and her pussy was snug and wet.

“Answer me.” His tone was sharp. He suppressed a shiver as
her sheath quivered around his cock.

“Yes.” She tried wiggling some more.

“Yes, what?”

“I understand,” she cried out.

He loosened his grip on her hip and used it to guide her in
the rhythm he wanted. He kept the hand in her hair. Every time he tugged the
red strands, her pussy convulsed. He delighted in the responses of his little
redhead, maybe more than he should. Her reactions to everything he did were
pure and honestly carnal. He immediately knew what she relished and it seemed
she relished him.

“You enjoy it when I tug on this pretty red hair, don’t
you?” He kissed her exposed neck.

“Yes, Shunyuan.”

“Stop moving.”

She whimpered, but she stopped. “Please.”

He moved down on the bed. Raising her hips slightly and
working his cock into her faster and faster. Damn she felt so good. He allowed
the link he had with her to open and instantly began to drown in her enjoyment.
What must he feel like to her? Did his lust feed her own?

She grunted, her voice staccato and timed with his thrusts.

“Move,” he said sharply.

She did, keeping the exact pace he’d shown her. The
combination must have hit the spot because she started screaming and
immediately climaxed. He kept thrusting, working through it. It felt as though
her pussy was trying to suction the cum out of his balls. The squeezing and
contractions went on forever. Tears formed in her eyes, and when she started
twitching he released her hair and used both hands to hold her hips tight and
allowed his release.

He groaned his pleasure. “Hot damn.”

He breathed out swiftly. She’d collapsed onto his chest
asleep. He sighed. He moved the hair off her face and kissed her temple. None
of her feelings reached him through the bond. The contentment he felt was his
own.

* * * * *

Acia awoke at the high-pitched tone. Her heart raced and she
immediately rolled from the bed.

“What is it?” Shunyuan asked. His voice was raspy from sleep
and a shiver raced up her spine.

She pulled on her panties and a thin-strapped undershirt.
“The alarm is to warn me someone I need to kill is near.”

“What?” Shunyuan sat up straight.

The door chimed and she grabbed her battlesuit pants and
hopped into them a leg at a time. She fastened them as she opened the door.
Cheris stood on the other side with a stern look on her face.

“You stay here. We can handle it,” Cheris said.

“No, you know she wants me.”

“I know you want her. How long do you think you’ll last
without the Earth man? Will you just grab some unsuspecting low-life and rut
him on the street?”

The thought made Acia ill. She couldn’t stand the thought of
touching another man. She wouldn’t get any relief from the fervor rutting
another man anyway. Only Shunyuan could help her now.

“Shunyuan will just have to come. You can’t make me stay
here. This is
Dovian Heart
business.”

Already the fervor was a low simmer in her body. Yet she
would go wherever the intel they had just received said the Gastronian named
Zon’a happened to be. She always went after Zon’a. The compulsion was a fire
burning in her belly. She couldn’t escape the desire to track Zon’a, or to end
her.

Cheris stared back at her, mouth firm. “I knew you would
have your own way so I brought him something to wear. Juni took it from the
Gastronian vessel. They should fit Shunyuan Taylor.”

Cheris picked up a dark-green bag from the floor, which Acia
hadn’t noticed. Cheris handed the bag to Acia and then backed away. Acia’s body
sagged a little as she realized she wouldn’t have to fight Cheris about
pursuing Zon’a.

“The information says she is on Mir, a small casino moon. We
are close. You may have time to take care of the fervor quickly before we
land.”

The way her body quivered was a good indicator the fervor
would need to be assuaged immediately. Acia nodded and closed the door. She
turned to find Shunyuan standing behind her with a frown on his face.
Egu
,
he was handsome.
Even scowling.
Her chest fluttered and she worked hard
to control her face and her end of the mate link. Maybe she should ask him how
he kept her out.

He watched her intently. “You absolutely have to find this
woman?”

“I must. I need you to come with me. Will you help me with
the fervor right now?” She was shaking.

He walked to the bed and sat. “Climb up.”

* * * * *

“This is where she meets her lover,” Ruvia said.

They all stared up at the building and then the surrounding
neighborhood. Acia curled her lip. The once brightly painted metal buildings
were all pockmarked with rust and peeling paint. Random letters on lighted
signs were broken or sparked and blinked as their power source shorted. Trash
floated around them in the moon’s artificial breeze.

Berisa kicked a bottle. “Why don’t we ever go anywhere
nice?”

“It is quite sad here,” Figia added softly.

Acia smoothed the sneer from her face. “We stay in pairs.
Keep your com link on.”

Acia had asked Juni and Ora to remain on board the
Dovian
Heart
, not trusting the transient citizens of Mir. The other five women and
Shunyuan would search for Zon’a. Mir wasn’t exactly lawless, but they needed to
be careful. In the United Universe opportunists thrived. Shunyuan moved closer
to Acia and she glanced at him. He scanned the area constantly with his eyes.

“Who exactly is this Zon’a?” he asked.

Acia’s hand tightened around her blaster. “The only enemy I
have left who I know by name and personal experience.” An enemy she would kill.

They entered the Gambler’s Gambol. It was an optimistic
name. The noise was almost deafening. Hawkers yelled into the crowd, inviting
patrons to visit their table and their card and computer games.
Play-for-credits machines stood in rows on the left side of the room.
Waitresses bustled through, keeping the patrons’ throats moist and minds numb
with alcoholic beverages of every kind.

Acia didn’t see a green face in the crowd.

Ruvia read from her information pad. “The report says she
ruts with an Evro who plays in the back rooms. He lives here in the casino.
Look for a humanoid male with yellow skin and white hair.”

Acia turned to her mate. “Shunyuan, we are looking for a
female Gastronian. If you see either an Evro male or Gastronian female, alert
us.”

Acia resisted clutching her stomach as the sensation of
little needle pricks stabbed her in the belly. The pain was sharp, but she
could still manage it. She wasn’t critical yet. At some point she would be, she
winced, thinking about the screaming and begging inherent in being out of
control and deep in fervor.

“Let’s get started. I’m never going to get the smell of
tryzu
smoke out of my hair or this battlesuit,” Cheris grumbled.

They wound their way through the casino. Acia was surprised
they didn’t draw more notice. The patrons seemed to only have eyes for their
games, alcohol and drugs. There were four back rooms to search. Every second
counted in their search and Acia wished her enemy would simply reveal herself
so Acia could kill her and be done.
