Forever's Not Enough (Galactic League of Planets) (19 page)

“Tell me about love again,” he whispered.

“Oh,” she replied and leaned close enough he could feel her breath on his cheek. “I think I’d much rather show you.”

Her lips found his and he felt his eyes well. When his hand found her breast, she moaned into his mouth.

He let her hand push him back on the mattress and marveled at the gift Bast had sent him in his dream tonight.

When she straddled his thighs and took his cock in her hand, he quaked beneath her.

When she let it drop and crawled up his body to find his mouth again, he felt a tear on his cheek.

“No,” she said with a small laugh and kissed his tear away. “No, you mustn’t be sad. I am here, we are one. You have found me.”

“Peenzan,” he said as his voice shook with emotion. “What will I do when you no longer find me in my dreams?”

“Shhh,” she whispered and her finger sealed his lips. “Just love me and let Bast see how happy we are together.”

He reached, then stopped, afraid she’d slip away, evaporate into the Meline night. Then he let his hands wander to her back where he ran his fingers up and down the soft ridge of fur that covered her spine in wonder.

His cock felt warm tucked beneath her back-fall resting on the curve of her ass.

“It’s okay,” she said with a giggle. “I will not break. I am yours now and forever.”

He could feel her wet kiss on his stomach and his fervor grew. Letting his hands slide down, he lifted her ass and watched her eyes close slowly as he slid his hard cock in.

It felt so real. He could smell her, feel her purr against his chest, feel her slide on his cock. The wetness. The warmth. The soft touch of her cunt caressing him.

Her nose blushed chocolate brown and her eyes were dark pools that beckoned. Cradling her in his arms, he rolled them both on the bed and found her neck where he kissed the dancing pulse he found jumping beneath her white skin.

“Oh, Peenzan, why? Why did you have to go?”

“Shhh, my love, I’m here now. I’m yours now.”

He pushed between her thighs and smiled when she squeaked. He felt her legs around his hips and pushed again with purpose.

“Yes,” she whispered on a sigh.

His mouth found a breast and he sucked until it was as brown as her nose. He suckled at the other hungrily while his cock pushed into her, spreading her, opening her.

When she teased, “Do not be timid, my love, take me! Make me yours!” his muscles pulled tight, his thighs bulged, his toes dug, and all thought of his wonderful dream slipping away faded as he rutted and ravaged her until his body dripped with sweat, her mouth opened in a voiceless scream, and she rocked and quaked beneath him, her pussy clenching tight around his relentless cock.

She was panting, her nails digging at his back, her purr a tumult against his chest when he didn’t relent, his loins drawn as taught as piano wire, his big chest smothering her, the muscles in his neck tight cords that bulged.

He could feel her, smell her, hear her purr, and he exploded in a torrent of animal grunts and jerking moans, only to collapse back into the dark abyss of a dreamless sleep.

A scratching on his shoulder brought him back and he lazily brushed his hand across the itch it left behind. Just as his eye opened, he saw a small red bird fly away and perch on the edge of Peenzan’s desk.

He knew what it was, she’d told him once long ago, on a late night walk above the castle. A waltuun. Nature’s lover, she’d said. He smiled and turned his head back to the pillow to enjoy the dream he’d found of her soft purring beneath him.

“You mustn’t do that, my love.”

His head jerked so hard his neck hurt. There she was curled beneath him. Her slightly crossed blue eyes staring at his nose.

“Wha…”

“You’ll anger Bast. I have no idea why Nature’s lover has taken a liking to you, but he has. Best you make friends with him.”

He rolled away, rubbed his eyes, and looked again.

“But…”

“No, not yet. You’re so nice and warm. Come back,” she whined like a spoiled child.

“How…”

“Princess! Good morning!”

He didn’t understand what had been said, but when he looked over his shoulder he wasn’t surprised to find Pran standing at the side of the bed.

Peenzan answered in Meline and tugged on his shoulder again.

“But how? Did I die?”

“No, silly.” She slapped his chest playfully. “Why would you think that?”

“But you died! I saw it happen! You were beside me…”

“Of course I did. But now I’m back.”

He pinched her and she squealed, “What was that for!”

He kissed her and she moaned.

When he started staring again, she said, “But I thought you knew.”

“No…” was all he managed.

“Here.” And she took his hand and pulled him off the bed, then led him to the birthing table. All the flowers were gone. There, in the middle of the gold lined depression of her body lay a single flower. The small white six peddled bloom with a golden center. The last flower he’d picked. The one he’d tucked behind his ear. All the other flowers were gone and the candle was a melted mess on the stone slab.

“You see, by putting my flower, the one I chose long ago, onto the birthing table and asking Bast to return me, you brought me back.”

He still couldn’t believe it. “But you were dead,” he insisted. “How do you come back?”

“Why, Meline have nine lives, of course. This is number two for me. My mother will give me a lecture as soon as she sees me.”

“This human, he very stupid. He brought all the flowers from your meadow. He stack up all and he forget the most important one.”

Peenzan laughed and waved her hand, shushing Pran and her horrendous English.

Then he realized something. “But how long will you live? I mean, humans barely make it to 200.”

“Ah.” She pulled him down and kissed his nose. “you are Meline now. You must find your own flower and we will have your birthing table made…”

“But how long will we live?”

“Oh, does it matter? It will seem like forever.”

He pulled her to him, ran his fingers through her hair, enjoyed her warm purr, and leaned down and kissed her.

When their lips parted he whispered, “Forever’s not enough.”
