touching her would fix what her ex-husband had done. The truth showed clearly in his

slightly confused expression. She twisted hard, trying again to break free. Regardless of

his motives, she didn’t want to have sex.

“I’ll make a deal with you.”

Jill stopped struggling. “What kind of deal?”

“Let me pleasure you at least and if you don’t enjoy what I do then I will stop.”

“I don’t want you to touch me.”

“I’m going to but I am willing to negotiate the terms by offering a reasonable

solution with a deal.”

“What if I say no?”

“You’ll continue to fight me and make it more difficult for me to fix you.”

“And if I agree and don’t like what you do to me?”

“I’ll stop.”

“Okay, stop. I’m not enjoying this.”

“I haven’t begun yet.” His dark gaze flashed his annoyance.

Jill glared at him. He continued to frown at her, unmoving, until her legs began to

hurt from his hold on her ankles.

“This isn’t real comfortable.”

He eased her ass back down onto the bed and released her ankles. She pulled her

legs down, trying to cover her exposed lower region but Coal used it to his advantage,

tearing her panties and pants the rest of the way down her legs. He tossed them behind

him. Jill gasped and put her heels against her bottom, her knees drawn up, and locked

together to cover her sex while she glared at him over the top of them.

“Spread your thighs for me.”

“No.”

“Give me five minutes of access to your body and if you want me to stop after that

time, I will. That’s fair.”

“Fair would be you untying me and handing me a weapon to even out the odds

between us.”

The grin that flashed on his features changed his entire look from intimidating to

kind of cute in Jill’s opinion. She tried not to notice. The guy knelt on the end of her bed,

watching her.

“That isn’t going to happen.” He looked smug.

“Neither is you touching me.”

“It is.”

“No.”

Coal’s grin faded. “I swear not to enter you if you give me five minutes of not

fighting and doing as I ask. What do you have to lose?”

“I―”

He cut her off. “You have everything to gain if you agree. I will release you if you

want me to stop after five minutes. I’ll free you from the bed and allow you to roam

your quarters after I search through it to make sure there are no hidden weapons for

you to use against me.”

“That’s not fair.”

“Life isn’t fair. You’re an adult female. This shouldn’t be a new fact for you to

learn.” He arched a dark eyebrow. “Decide.”

“That’s blackmail. What are you going to do if I don’t agree?”

“I will keep you tied on the bed and keep trying to get you to agree to allow me to

touch you until you realize pleasure is possible.”

“I really don’t like you,” she admitted.

“I believe I could make you change your mind about that.”

“Has anyone ever called you a bastard before?”

“Since I don’t have a mother and wasn’t given birth to―no.”

“Here’s a first for you then. You’re a total bastard.”

He had the nerve to chuckle. “Do you agree?”

Jill wanted to scream in frustration. The big cyborg could force sex on her and she

wouldn’t be able to stop him. So far he hadn’t hurt her and she believed that wasn’t his

intention. Sometimes her droids had set ideas in their programming and it took her a

long time to make them understand an error. Perhaps Coal had a glitch in his thinking

that had him believing what had been done to her could be easily fixed, as if showing

her something once would make years of misery disappear. He’d said he had implants

and his brain might be more computer-like than she had guessed.

They studied each other as she chewed on her lower lip. She assessed that he

looked pretty determined. If cyborgs and androids were anything similar, he had this

course of action firmly set in his brain. She took careful breaths. He wouldn’t hurt her,

she saw no cruelty in his gaze, and hoped her instincts were right.

“Do I have a choice? I want free.”

“Open your thighs wide for me.”

She hesitated. “What guarantee do I have that you won’t force yourself on me? You

might say you won’t enter me but―” She gasped.

Coal pushed her thighs open. “If I wanted to force myself inside you I could and

you wouldn’t be able to stop me. Is my point made?”

Fear made Jill’s heart race. She nodded, unable to speak. She hadn’t expected him to

do that. He had her legs pinned open and spread wide.

“I’ve only let a doctor see me this way.”

He shook his head. “Your male was stupid if he didn’t ask you to spread your sex

open for your mutual stimulation.”

She couldn’t exactly argue with Coal over his assumption since anyone willing to

badmouth her ex had to be right. The hands gripping her knees weren’t painful but he

had a good hold on her that prevented it when she tried to shift her legs closed. Her

gaze lowered and her mouth parted in shock. Fear came rushing back as she stared at

the naked, aroused cyborg and his definitely massive hard-on.

“Your fear isn’t necessary, Jill.”

“You’re big all over.” Her gaze refused to leave that darker-hued, hard cock

pointing right at her as the cyborg held her thighs spread open. “Too big.”

Coal followed her gaze to his sex and then lifted his head to frown at her. “If we

progress to actual intercourse, I won’t harm you. Women’s bodies are designed to

stretch. It’s just a matter of entering slowly to give you time to adjust to my size.”

“Easy for you to say. You’re not the one facing having something that size shoved

where the light doesn’t shine.”

He had the nerve to laugh. Jill glared at him. Coal smiled as he inched closer to her.

His gaze lowered to the vee of her thighs and his mouth parted, his tongue swiping his

full lips to wet them.

“You have very little hair for a human.”

“I thought you said you only know cyborg women.” Jill tried to distract herself

from the fact that he studied her pussy very closely. No one but her doctor ever had.

Not even her ex had put her under scrutiny the way Coal did. He seemed fascinated,

judging by his expression. “You don’t have any hair down there so I’m assuming they

don’t either.”

“They either have no hair at all or a lot of it.” He cocked his head. Dark brown eyes

rose to meet hers. “Is your hair pattern shaped similar to an arrow?”

A blush heated Jill’s cheeks. “It gets really boring onboard sometimes, okay? Stop

giving me that look. I don’t like a lot of body hair and when I use the hair remover

wand I tend to make patterns sometimes.” She paused. “That’s not weird.”

“If you say so. It is attractive. Our time starts now and I’ll stop in five minutes if

you still wish me to.”

He called her muff attractive. Jill frowned but then she realized the time ticked

down. As long as he examined her he wasn’t doing anything else. She relaxed. She’d

just talk and stall him until his five minutes had elapsed.

“I could tell you how to make patterns with the wand.”

Something flickered in his eyes. “I know you could. Tell me after my four minutes

and fifty seconds have elapsed.”

“Damn!”
So much for my plan
. Jill tensed when he leaned over, his face hovering

close to her skin. His intention became clear as hot breath fanned across her inner

thighs. Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. “You can’t!”

He paused, giving her an amused smile and an eyebrow arched. “I can’t what?”

“You know.” A deeper blush spread across her cheeks. “I read fiction files with sex

in them and you can’t do that. I’d assumed you’d want to touch but not put your face

there.”

“Why not?”

“It’s um…well, unsanitary.” She nodded, going with that.

He had the audacity to laugh. “That’s the best excuse you can pull from your mind?

No wonder you don’t know sexual satisfaction if you wouldn’t allow your male to

touch you as he wished.”

“He never tried that.”

Coal sighed, blowing more hot air over her thighs and pussy. “Pathetic.”

“I am not.”

“I was speaking about your male. Shut up, Jill.” He frowned. “Relax and give it a

try. You will enjoy it. I have a vast amount of experience at this.”

“They forced you to do that too?” Her mouth dropped open. “I thought only men

tried to make women go down on them.”

Anger tightened his handsome face. “Your male forced you to your knees?”

“He tried a few times but it didn’t work out for him. It seems we have a lot in

common.” She refused to admit it but bad memories flashed through her mind of her

ex-husband yelling at her and attempting to do just that until she’s threatened to kill

him in his sleep.

A deep growl came from Coal’s throat. “It wasn’t all force with the females who

held me.” He took another deep breath. “Once they damaged the chips inside my head

that allowed me to close off my physical responses I found sexual enjoyment even

though I wasn’t willing at first to be a breeder. If someone touches your body in the

correct manner, the need for sexual gratification becomes intense. You will participate

in the act.”

“I don’t see that happening.”

“You’re wasting time, Jill. Silence.”

Jill closed her lips firmly, shooting a glare at him. “Fine.” She threw her head back,

staring at the beam along the ceiling. “I can’t stop you but I just want you to know I’m

really uncomfortable with this. I’m counting down the seconds until I can tell you to

stop.”

“You do that.” He sounded amused. “I’ll do this.”

Warm hands adjusted their hold, sliding from her knees to her inner thighs, holding

her open wider but gripping her inches from her pussy. The mattress shifted as Coal’s

big body changed position, and to Jill’s shock, two thumbs spread her vaginal lips apart

to expose her inner sex to his view. She squeezed her eyes closed and tensed, hoping it

wouldn’t be as uncomfortable as she suspected.

“You’re pink.” Surprise was an easy emotion to hear coming from him.

“What color should I be?”

He cleared his throat. “White or a very light gray.”

“Really? Cyborgs are that color down there?” Jill conceded this had to be the

strangest conversation she’d ever had.

“Yes.”

Jill opened her mouth to ask him another question, hoping to use up more time, but

then shock assailed her as a hot, thick tongue made contact with her clit. She tensed, the

sensation freezing the air inside her lungs. A soft growl came from Coal and then his

full lips locked around her clit.

Her eyes sprung open wide as he started to suckle on her. His tongue moved back

and forth rapidly at the same time. Raw pleasure coursed from between her spread

thighs straight to her astounded brain. She gasped in air when she realized she’d totally

stopped breathing and as air filled her lungs again, her eyes closed.

Her body tensed and she tried to wiggle away from the intense attack on her

pleasure center. Coal’s hands held her firmly in place as if he’d bound her immobile. It

heightened the ecstasy each lash of his tongue gave Jill. A moan passed her lips.

Coal growled louder, sending vibrations through her clit right to her belly, which

tightened in response. Her muscles strained as her body tensed more and she realized

her heels dug into the bed. It horrified her a bit that she seemed to be pressing upward

against his mouth instead of trying to jerk away. The fire that burned throughout her

body grew hotter until she knew sweat beaded her skin. She wasn’t breathing anymore

so much as panting loudly.

Just when she thought she’d die from the overload of rapture, the cyborg pulled his

mouth away. Shock gripped her for a second time as she lay there trying to catch her

breath, aching for something she was certain would be sexual release.

“Look at me,” Coal demanded in a husky voice.

Jill forced her eyes open to stare down her body at him. She couldn’t speak, had no

words, and fought the confusion in her mind.

“The five minutes is up. Do you want me to stop?” His eyes appeared black and his

features had darkened slightly, his normal skin tone apparently flushed. “I keep my

word and we made a deal.” He paused. “Let me give you pleasure. Allow me to finish.”

I’ve lost my mind
, she could finally think. Her body ached, hurt actually, especially

where his mouth had just been. Her clit throbbed painfully and her belly quivered. She

could feel wetness trickling down the seam of her pussy.

“Jill,” his voice deepened. “Let me continue.”

Her mouth opened but no words came out.

“You should see how beautiful you look.” His thumb shifted and rubbed her

swollen clit.

Jill gasped, the sheer intensity of that light touch had her fighting back a moan.

“Your increased breathing has made you pinker and your blue eyes have darkened

with passion.” Coal rubbed a slow circle over the swollen bud with the pad of his

thumb. He inhaled. “I could make a meal out of you. You taste as good as you smell.

Have you ever had a male fill you with his tongue?”
