Taken by the Admiral (5 page)

The flecks of gold in Cavvik’s dark gaze shimmered like the stars, and she flushed to have his attention directed so intently on her. She was used to keeping to herself and definitely wasn’t practiced at conversing with the opposite sex.

Finally, she decided there was no harm in telling Cavvik about the rules regarding sex and marriage on the
Constantina
. She took a deep breath and started off by describing the abstinence classes and how people were encouraged to spy on and turn offenders in. Glancing at the opposite sex for too long could get you into trouble, let alone holding hands or stealing a kiss in a corridor. Participating in the sex act was grounds for a long sentence in the brig. If you confessed to masturbating, you would have to visit a doctor each week for special shots that would dull your capacity for arousal. Lia described how the hormone suppressor also seemed to change the personalities of those who were forced to take it, turning people into dull and quiet shells of their former selves.

The longer she spoke to the admiral, the more comfortable she felt in his presence. His hardness persisted beneath her bottom, and perhaps the evidence of his need for her should have frightened her more, but the fact that he wasn’t hiding it and didn’t seem ashamed of it gave her pause and made her trust him. He acted like the sinful desires she’d berated herself for all her life were perfectly normal and healthy. God, she hoped this was the case. She was tired of pretending to be someone she wasn’t, tired of hiding and living in fear aboard the very ship that was supposed to be the salvation of her people.

At last, she spoke of her father’s disagreements with Captain Renard, and his death as well as her mother’s death. As she described this dark time, his gaze reflected a heartfelt concern that left her breathless. Truly, this Varishan was nothing like she had expected. The whispers about Admiral Cavvik couldn’t be true. Not a one of them. Kindness shone in his eyes and she found herself leaning against his chest once she finished her story, finding solace in his embrace.

A long stretch of silence filled the room, and he kept his arms wrapped around her, giving her the first hug she’d had in years. She supposed her mother had been the last to hug her, shortly after her father died. That had been eight years ago. She hadn’t been on the deck during the carbon monoxide leak, and after that she’d been sent to live in shared quarters with four other orphans. Spilling her secret pains to Cavvik, stranger though he was, left her feeling lighter.

“Lia, I knew humans had some odd beliefs and I knew babies were grown in ectogenesis laboratories aboard the ship, but I had no idea your environment was so repressive.” He stroked a hand up and down her back, soothing her with his touch. His masculine scent enticed her senses. She felt oddly safe in his embrace and never wished him to release her. She could stay here in his quarters, listening to the steady beating of his heart for all time. She could pretend she was a Varishan female, solely his mate, rather than both his prisoner and mate.

A chime at the door drew her from her blissful reverie, and she gave the admiral a questioning glance.

“It’s the doctor. He’s here to examine you.”

“But I-I’m not sick.”

“Standard procedure. All alien females brought aboard must have a thorough exam to make sure they are healthy and sexually responsive.” He grinned down at her. “Do not worry, Lia. I think you’ll pass.”

* * *

Doctor Sorn entered Cavvik’s quarters, a large medical bag in his hand. “I understand you have claimed this human female as your mate.” The physician waggled his thick eyebrows at Cavvik. “Wanted to get out of the mating ceremony on Varishema that bad, did you?”

“Mating ceremony?” Lia tried to pull up her pants, but Cavvik stilled her hands and gave her a censuring look.

“You must be naked during the exam.” He hoped her stinging bottom kept her docile enough for what she was about to endure. The doctor had a reputation for being exacting, and while Cavvik believed Lia was sexually responsive and compatible with him, he wanted to make sure she was healthy. Some of the females taken from the
Constantina
were malnourished and required vitamin infusions, and a few had autoimmune diseases that needed treatment. Lia’s well-being was important to him. Her tales of life aboard the
Constantina
troubled him, and he was glad she wasn’t aboard the blasted ship any longer.

“Oh, like hell I’ll be naked!” She glared at him and once again reached for her pants.

Surrounding her with his arms, he leaned down to whisper in her ear. “Lia, listen to me and listen carefully. I am your mate and your master. You will not disrespect me by behaving like a
feensha
cat in front of the doctor. The better you listen, the sooner the exam will be over. It’s necessary for your health. Now, are you going to cooperate, or do I need to turn you back over my knee and redden your bottom while the doctor watches?”

“I swear I’m healthy!” Fright widened her eyes when she pulled back to give him another one of her cute, pleading looks. Blessed One, her begging made him as hard as the ice crystals in the mountain caves of his home world.

“Lia, this is nonnegotiable. You will endure a thorough examination without resistance.” He firmed his tone. “If you disobey me in this, little human, I will take a leather strap to your already punished bottom. Don’t test me.”

The doctor removed a folding patient table from his bag and set it up in the center of the room while Lia watched, her face pale and her hands shaking in her lap. She twisted her fingers together and gulped. The scent of her arousal heightened, and he stared down at his little human mate in utter disbelief. She might not be happy about the examination, but the prospect of it was increasing the moisture between her thighs.

“Lia, yes, you are my prisoner and you have no choice in this, but you are also my mate. I only want the best for you, and your health happens to be very important to me.” This time he softened his voice, hoping to calm her anxieties over the exam.

“Are-are you going to stay with me, you know, during the exam?”

“Yes, Lia. I won’t leave your side.”

Perhaps he only imagined it, but he thought her shoulders relaxed at this. It pleased him that she wished him to remain at her side during the exam. Of course, he hadn’t intended to leave his quarters even if she demanded it, but she didn’t need to know that.

The doctor cleared his throat. He stood next to the exam table and patted the metallic surface. “Have the human remove all her clothing and sit on the table.” He pulled an internal scanner from his pocket and stared pointedly at Lia. The doctor was efficient and professional, and Cavvik had no doubts he would quickly ascertain if Lia required any treatments to optimize her health.

“All right, little human, let’s get your shirt off first,” Cavvik said, helping her remove the sweater. She wore a plain white covering over her breasts beneath it. A bra, that’s what humans called it. Varishan females wore no undergarments of any kind, but he rather liked the way the bra pushed up her mounds. Through the material of the covering, the shadows of her hardened nipples stood pronounced.

He attempted to remove her bra but fumbled with the clasp he found on the back.

She gave a shy smile and reached around to unhook the garment, and it fell to the floor with her sweater. He pulled her pants the rest of the way off her, taking her shoes with them. The next time he allowed her clothing, she would wear a beautiful Varishan gown.

“Was that so difficult?” he asked softly, tracing her nipple.

A needy whimper sounded in her throat and she squirmed on his lap, and he once again thrilled at her responsiveness.

“You’re a lovely girl, Lia. I might keep you naked all the time.”

She blushed almost as red as her punished behind.

After guiding her to the exam table, he lifted her up and sat her upon it. She gasped and wiggled a bit, no doubt adjusting to the chill of the metallic surface.

All business, the doctor stepped forward and ran the handheld internal scanner over her from head to toe, holding it just above her skin. She remained so still that for a moment Cavvik feared she had stopped breathing, but finally her chest rose slightly as she inhaled, then dipped with a slow exhale.

“She is healthier than most of the human females I’ve examined. Only a tad underweight. I don’t even think she needs vitamin infusions, as long as she eats a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables.”

“I’ll make sure she eats properly,” Cavvik said, pleased by the doctor’s report.

“Wide hips, full breasts, a fine specimen of her species.” The physician held the scanner over her abdomen. “She is capable of bearing children. In fact, she’s ovulating right now.”

“Is that so?” Her current fertility peaked Cavvik’s interest. He’d already planned to claim her in the near future, but now he had all the more reason to pump into her and fill her with his seed.

Lia lowered her head and her blush deepened.

The doctor returned the scanner to his pocket and retrieved a clear speculum from his bag. Cavvik had requested the exam take place in his quarters rather than the busy medical bay, and he was glad the doctor had come fully prepared. Anticipation skittered through him and he held his breath, watching in fascination as the doctor placed the speculum on the table. Soon Lia would be spread wide and completely exposed. He’d glimpsed her pussy while she’d been over his knee, but he hadn’t seen it stretched open, nor had he touched it yet.

The spanking had aroused her. There was no denying the telltale moisture that had glistened on her nether lips. Would the exam excite her in the same fashion? He had an inkling it would, and he wished the doctor would hurry up and insert the speculum already. He wanted a good look at the tight hole he would be pounding into later.

“Turn and lie down, then scoot your bottom to the edge here,” the doctor said, pulling the stirrups from the table for Lia to rest her feet in.

When she hesitated, Cavvik raised an eyebrow at her, daring her to disobey.

The air tensed and for a moment, he thought he would have to order her to bend over the table while he applied a leather strap to her bottom. But she finally followed the doctor’s instructions, lying down on the table. Her knees wobbled as she scooted to the end of the table, and once her backside rested on the edge, the doctor helped her place her feet in the stirrups.

Still wet. Even more so than before, and so deliciously pink. The overhead lights beamed down upon Lia, giving Cavvik an unhindered view of her intimate parts. He couldn’t look away from her glistening center and he envied the doctor for being the first to touch her pussy.

The doctor donned a pair of gloves and picked up the speculum. He also retrieved a bottle of something from his bag.

“I’m assuming you’ve never had sexual intercourse before?” the doctor asked.

“No, sir.”

“Have you ever had anything inside your vaginal opening before?”

“I…” She swallowed and looked at Cavvik briefly before returning her gaze to the doctor. “Only my, um, my fingers,” she replied in a hushed tone.

For the first time since his arrival, the doctor broke into a smile and chuckled. “Your fingers. Hmm. Well, I imagine you are very tight, being a virgin. Even though your pussy is swollen and wet right now, I’m going to apply a generous amount of lubrication to help ease the way of the speculum.”

She paled and gave a start. “That thing goes inside me?” She started to close her legs, but the doctor placed a firm hand on the inside of her thigh.

“None of that, human. You will remain spread.”

“Do as the doctor says, Lia.” Cavvik’s vision had started to blur, his arousal had grown so great. He needed the doctor to complete his exam and get out. Lia would be lucky if he waited for the elderly Varishan to leave before he pushed his cock into her slick tightness.

The doctor trickled lube on her pussy and she gave a tiny gasp, her back arching on the table.

“Yes, it’s cold, but we must use a good quantity of it.”

With a gloved hand, the doctor spread the lubrication around her pussy, then pushed two fingers inside her. His visage turned thoughtful and his brows furrowed in concentration as he felt around. He placed the bottle aside and pressed down on her stomach while still keeping his fingers submerged in her pussy.

“Everything feels normal so far. Her clitoris is nice and big. I suspect she’ll have no trouble having an orgasm. Have you ever made yourself come before, human?”

A tremor vibrated through her and she turned away, not answering the doctor’s question.

“She has touched herself many times,” Cavvik said.

A whimper floated up from the table. Blessed One, he wanted to hear her whimper again and again, mayhap while she struggled to take all of his cock in her mouth.

“We’ll test her responsiveness after I inspect her further,” the doctor said, placing the speculum at her entrance. She quivered as he pushed it inside her, and Cavvik stared at the wondrous sight, not blinking or breathing. Her pussy lips were stretched to the side and she was opened up, all her pinkness within on display. The doctor retrieved his scanner and held it in front of her widened opening for a long moment. Numbers and lights flashed on the device, and finally the doctor put it back in his pocket.

“Still normal. Still healthy.” He trickled more lube onto two of his fingers and sought out the entrance of her bottom hole. “I assume you plan to claim her here as well?”

“Yes,” Cavvik replied, his voice hoarse with desire.

More whimpers. More trembling. More blushing. Lia was the most beautiful and perfect female he could ever recall glimpsing. Her shame over her arousal fascinated him in a dark way. As her humiliation rose, the moisture between her thighs increased. Lia might not know it, but there were more spankings in her future, and not just disciplinary ones.

Chapter Four

A groan escaped Lia as the doctor pushed two thick fingers into her bottom hole. She covered her face to hide her shame. When Cavvik had informed her she was to be examined by a doctor, she had never imagined it would be so thorough. Everything below her waist ached, and the intrusion in her backside entrance glided deeper, making her cry out in a mixture of discomfort and pleasure.
