With grace and control, Roark sat up and kissed her deep and slow. When he pulled back, his dark eyes gazed languidly at her. He grinned, nuzzling her nose with his before lifting her up off of him.
A small whimper left her and she felt empty without him. Her hands automatically clung to his neck. With great tenderness, he lifted her into his arms and carried her to the decontaminator. He held her to his chest, keeping her upright as her knees wobbled. His lips brushed against her temple.
She felt his heart beating, steady and sure, matching the rhythm in her chest. A fear came over her, the fear of not having more than this one night. She wanted him, felt as if she knew him. But she couldn’t lay voice to the words so she stayed quiet, tightly clinging to him as the unit cleaned their bodies.
Afterwards, he picked her back up and carried her to the bed. Arranging their bodies beneath the covers, he pulled her into her arms and held her close. His lips again brushed her temple.
"I’m glad you decided to stay," she whispered shyly into his chest. Sapphire let her fingers glide to his naked hip.
The statement seemed to take him by surprise and he leaned back to study her face. "Why wouldn’t I stay?"
"Well," Sapphire began before giving a delicate shrug. "I wasn’t sure if you would. I mean, I don’t know you. I don’t know anything about you really."
This second statement seemed to take him even more by surprise. His dark eyes narrowed in question. "You don’t feel it?"
"Feel what?" she asked, weakly. She averted her eyes. She did feel something, but it was insanity to lay voice to it. She’d only known him two days.
"What’s insanity?" he asked, revealing that he’d heard her thoughts.
"I.…" Sapphire blushed. "I … I can’t explain it. I feel…"
A small sound left her and she lowered her eyes to stare at his throat. His arms tightened around her, drawing her closer.
"You feel for me," he stated without censure. Taking his fingers, he traced a delicate path down to her heart. The movement stirred her blood, causing her passion for him to reawaken. "You feel for me here."
Sapphire tensed. Was she that obvious? Did he think her crazy? A woman who fell into bed and into love on a whim?
"No, I think none of those things." Roark frowned. "And you do know me. Our minds have been meeting since the first moment I saw you, nearly six months ago on Quazer. Every time I invaded your thoughts, I’ve left a piece of myself behind."
His hands moved down over her hip only to come up between her thighs, rubbing her clit in small, lazy circles. A soft gasp of pleasure left her.
"I’ve been seeing all those naughty fantasies you keep in your head," he admitted.
Sapphire blushed profusely.
"Don’t worry. I want us to experience them all. Anything you want, you will have." Roark’s promise washed over her, as his finger dipped inside her hot channel. "You won’t even have to ask, I’ll just know."
"How? Why?" she whispered.
He leaned down to kiss her, stroking his tongue across the seam of her lips. Whispering against her, he said, "Because we were meant to be."
"How can you say that? We just met. I know nothing about you."
"Our souls know each other. Our bodies recognize each other. Our subconscious minds have been lovers a long time." He grinned. "Conscious minds are always slower to catch up. I suppose, being a telepath, I forget that not everyone understands these connections as I do. I’m not good at stating everything verbally, Sapphire, for that I’m sorry. Some things are just known to me. I just assumed you felt it too and understood it."
"I do," she whispered. "In a way."
"Close your eyes, feel our connection."
Sapphire obeyed, feeling him next to her physically. She felt his mind inside her, gently brushing up against her thoughts. Her body recognized him, as did her soul. A sigh left her and she felt safe within his arms. For some reason she trusted him completely.
I love you.
Sapphire gasped, looking up at his handsome face. She felt his love inside her, just as she heard his voice in her head. He grinned, rubbing his nose along hers in a playful gesture.
"I love you too," she whispered. "It’s crazy, but I do."
"In time it will not take so much effort for you to hear me," he said against her lips. "Until then, if you wonder something, just remind me to speak instead of think."
Suddenly, Sapphire pulled back, a worried frown crossed her features.
"What?" he asked.
"How will this work?" Her hand came to rest on his firm chest. "My job … what I do."
"I love watching you on stage, love how you control the crowd. It makes me hot just thinking about it. When I see you up there, I get so hard I can’t wait to fuck you. And I’ll love being up there with you even more." At her curious expression, Roark chuckled and pointed to her forehead. "With you up here. When you dance, you’ll be dancing for me. You’ll feel me in your head, hear me."
Sapphire moved to kiss him, pulling him forward so his hard length came over hers. Their legs tangled before she worked her thighs open in offering.
"Then, afterwards, you’ll come back here and give me a private show." His dark gaze flicked with meaning. His hands began rubbing along her flesh, stroking and heating her to his touch. "You’ll do this as long as you want to. And, when you want to move on to something else, we’ll move on."
"You won’t get bored, I mean with me working all the time and you --?"
His laughter cut her off. "Everything is already arranged. My presence won’t interfere with your career. I’m you’re new body guard. I talked to Lord Maximus last week. Thor is being moved to guard Quartz. They said something about her last guard quitting because she was too temperamental."
"So they knew all along?" she gasped.
Roark grinned. "We telepaths have ways of being very persuasive. You don’t mind do you?"
"Mmmm," she moaned as his hand found her nipples. "I don’t mind at all. I like the idea of you guarding my body. I like the idea of you doing any number of things to my body."
Her fingers moved down to his hard cocks and began to stroke him. A loud growl escaped him and he playfully nipped at her throat. The sound caused a wave of hot moisture to gather between her thighs once more. Suddenly, she wondered what it would feel like to have the larger cock in her ass, the little bumps rotating along her newly awakened passage.
"Turn around," Roark whispered hotly to her lips, "and find out."
Sapphire eagerly turned onto all fours, as Roark milked his smaller cock of lubricant. Then, coating himself he came up behind her.
"I know you hear this all the time," Roark groaned, easing his enormous cockhead into her cleft, "but you really are beautiful, Sapphire."
With a hard push, he eased himself inside her, claiming her body once more. Sapphire screamed, liking the conquering feel of him as he eased in and out. He grabbed her hips, pulling her back onto his hard shaft. The smaller cock teased along her wet slit, pushing against her sweet spot until her wet pussy throbbed to take it inside.
"Both, give me both," she cried.
Roark obeyed, slipping his body completely into her. Then, as he began to thrust, their minds connected and they didn’t have to speak. Her body exploded, joined instantly by his. And, in the aftermath, he pulled her back into his arms, cuddling her close. Nothing else mattered, for they were one being.
THE END
