Tansy's Titan: Cosmos' Gateway Book 3 (11 page)

Tansy gulped as she let her eyes run down over his shoulders to his broad chest. There was not a single strand of hair on it. He had muscles on top of muscles. She felt a shudder move through her as feelings she had never felt before flooded her. She wanted him. She wanted him badly. She had never experienced this kind of need before, not even with Branson.

Shit!
Tansy thought in dismay.
Where in the hell did this come from? Listen girl, you are not supposed to feel these things. Remember what happened to the last guy you fell for…

The image of Branson’s sightless eyes caused a sharp pain to rush through Tansy and she forced herself to welcome it. She needed to remember that it was too dangerous for her to love someone. Tansy moved silently out from under the covers ignoring the chill in the air. It was still warmer than the warehouses and abandon apartment buildings she had been hiding in for the past couple of weeks. She glanced out the window noticing it was still dark out. She needed to get dressed, get something to eat, and get out. She turned to look down at the man sleeping in the bed. He rolled toward where she had been. She moved quickly to put her still warm pillow up against him and tuck the covers securely so he wouldn’t miss her.

Turning, she grabbed one of the towels that was lying on the floor and wrapped it around her before moving silently out of the room. She made her way to one of the smaller bedrooms she had discovered before she passed out. She padded over to the armoire and opened it quietly. Inside were several pairs of black jeans, sweaters, and wool jackets. She pulled a small drawer open and found fresh underwear, bras, thick woolen socks, and long-sleeve T-shirts. The bras were a little on the small size as far as cup wise so she overflowed a little but she was happy to have something to wear. The jeans were a little loose around the waist since she had lost weight but a belt soon corrected that issue. Once she was dressed, she pulled her hair around, quickly brushing and braiding it before tucking it up under one of the black wool caps she found.

She moved back to the bedroom where Mak was still sleeping and picked up her boots. She carried them down the stairs, not bothering to put them on until she was seated in the kitchen. She gave a sigh of relief when she saw her black backpack over in the corner near the door.

“Now, to find some food,” she whispered moving over to the cabinets. She opened several pulling small packages of crackers, dried soup powder, and power bars out. She stuffed some of it into her backpack while she tore open a power bar and quickly inhaled it. She moved to the refrigerator. Opening it, she found several bottles of water. She opened one and drained it before grabbing the others and stuffing them into her bag.

All that is left is to grab some weapons and I’ll be off,
Tansy thought moving over to the pantry where Natasha showed her their stash of weapons.

She lifted out the curved knife she had admired yesterday. Pulling it out of its sheath, she touched the tip pleased to find it was so sharp that the light pressure broke through her skin. She quickly sheathed it and tucked it into her waistband. She pulled several other small knives out and hid them around her body where they could easily be accessed. She closed the panel and moved toward the door. She was just about to open it when a feeling she wasn’t alone any longer swept through her. Turning, she reacted instinctively palming a small but deadly knife in her hand.

*.*.*

Strong fingers wrapped around her smaller wrist applying enough pressure she almost dropped the knife. “What in the hell are you doing?” The deep voice growled out.

Tansy’s eyes grew wide as she stared up into the flaming silver eyes of a very, very angry alien male. “What does it look like? Do you know how close I came to killing your stupid ass? Don’t ever sneak up behind me again,” Tansy snapped out annoyed at the way her body responded to his being so close.

Mak felt the rumble of displeasure as it broke through his pursed lips. When he woke a few minutes ago to discover his mate gone it had taken every bit of his self-discipline to not over-react. He barely took the time to grab his pants and slide them on before he went in search of her. When he saw her about to leave the farmhouse fury slid through him. He knew instinctively that she was planning on leaving without him.

He moved closer, trapping her between the door and his body. “Where do you think you are going?”

Tansy’s eyes flashed at his obvious attempt to intimidate her. “That is none of your damn business. I have a mission to complete. I appreciate your, Natasha, and Helene’s help but I can handle it from here,” she growled back at him.

“You were practically dead yesterday,” Mak snapped back. “I do not believe you were handling anything.”

Tansy drew in a deep breath and counted to ten slowly. “Listen, I saved your ass in case you don’t remember. I had things under control in that warehouse. I could have made it out,” she said pointing her finger into his chest.

“You were unconscious when I removed you from the warehouse, in case
you
don’t remember,” Mak said grabbing the hand pressing the finger into his hot flesh and jerking her forward. “If not for me, you would be dead now.”

He kept his other hand around the wrist still holding the knife. She was such a stubborn little thing. He knew he had applied enough pressure to make her drop it but she refused to give in.

“What are you doing?” Tansy asked this time with a hint of unease moving into her voice as she found herself pressed against a hot, smooth wall of flesh.

“I am going to claim you,
je talli
,” Mak whispered as he saw the confusion in his mate’s dark green eyes. “I am going to make you mine.”

“You are?” Tansy breathed out mesmerized by the hot flames in his dark silver eyes. “I mean, you can’t.”

“Oh yes I can,” Mak said before bending down to cover Tansy’s mouth with his own.

Tansy’s hand opened and the small thud of the knife hitting the floor was drowned out by the moan that escaped her. She wanted this big ass alien male desperately. She let her hand move up until it tangled in his hair. She was unwilling to take a chance with him pulling away from her. She almost burst out cursing when she felt him pull back until there was barely a breath between them.

“Don’t stop,” Tansy breathed out against his lips.

“Never have I felt such a feeling before,” Mak muttered bending down and sweeping Tansy up into his arms. “I couldn’t stop now even if I wanted to,” he admitted softly.

Mak shuddered as he felt Tansy’s lips on his neck. She was doing things with her teeth and tongue he had only ever dreamed of a woman doing to him. The feel of the little nips and licks were enough to make him come in his pants. He knew he should take it slow. Before when he was with a female, it would a long time to build her desire enough for her body to accept his. Even then, he had to use the chemicals in his canines to arouse her. With Tansy, he didn’t think he would have been able to take the time to ready her, at least not this first time. His body was about ready to explode.

“I should go slowly with you,” Mak said hoarsely. “I should prepare your body for mine.”

“That’s okay. My body has already taken care of the preparing part and I never did like going slow… not much fun,” Tansy said trying to pull his head around to hers so she could taste him again.

“Gods Tansy!” Mak said when he felt her slip her hand down between them so she could reach his straining cock.

“Damn right,” Tansy said as he set her down on the bed.

She rolled just far enough to pull the cap off her head. It was quickly followed by her sweater and shirt. Mak was working on her boots and pants. He undid the lacing, before
pulling off her boot and sock and
tossing both over his broad shoulder. He quickly did the same to the other one. By then, Tansy was panting and cussing up a storm as she tried to unhook the back hooks of the bra she was wearing. She gave a sigh of relief when it finally came undone and she pulled the straps down, tossing it over the side of the bed where it landed on her sweater, shirt and cap.

She gasped when she suddenly felt a large palm between her breasts pushing her back until she lay across the bed with her legs hanging over the side. Mak growled out darkly as he gripped each side of her jeans and pulled. The sound of material tearing was barely louder than the sounds of the pants, gasps, and groans filling the room.

Mak barely had time to push his own pants down to his knees before he fell on top of Tansy’s smaller one. He adjusted his long, hard length against her slick entrance. He felt his canines extending as the mating chemical swept through his body. He froze as he tried to regain some control over his raging desires. Never had he taken a female like this before. He fought with the shame at losing so much control. His breathing was labored as he battled to win the fight not to frighten the tiny figure trapped under him. A fierce shudder went through him as his cock brushed against the soft curls lying in the vee between Tansy’s sweet, long legs. He thought he just about had himself back under control when he felt the sweet touch of Tansy’s tongue as it ran up the length of one of his canines.

“Oh Gods!” Mak cried out as his body thrust forward in reaction to the explosion of overwhelming need at the sensual act.

*.*.*

Tansy was on fire from the first touch when he grabbed her wrist to stop her from stabbing him to the moment he pulled her against all that hot, delicious flesh. All she could think about was touching and tasting every tantalizing inch of him. She was beyond thinking rationally. For the first time in her life, she wanted something for herself so badly, so desperately she was willing to reach out and grab it.

When he had pushed her back to grip her pants, she never expected him to literally rip them off her. She had been stunned at his strength. Hell, she knew he was strong but she never realized he was that damn strong. Her heart was pounding when she looked at him and saw his dazed, passion-filled face. There was no denying he wanted her. Her eyes widened as she saw his teeth extending. She vaguely remembered them being that way in the warehouse but she had thought it was her imagination. Now, the sight of them only re-enforced that this male was not from her world. Tansy half thought she should be afraid but if anything, the picture of his flaming eyes, extended teeth, and huge muscles straining did the exact opposite. They made her feel safe, desired… loved. The moment his body covered hers, she moved to run her tongue along one of the extended canines wanting to feel and taste him in the most primitive, basic way. She wanted him to lose control and take her as she had never been taken before.

She focused on pulling him down to her. When he closed his eyes, she feared he would pull away, stop, or just as bad, slow down. Tansy shifted her body until she could feel his hard, swollen cock against her hot vaginal opening. She wound one arm around his head pulling him closer while the other slid under his arm to grip his back. She raised her legs to wrap around his huge thighs. This position helped to raise her up until they were aligned.

She was breathing fast at the first touch, nervous as to whether she would be able to handle his thick cock. She felt like she was going to burst into flames if she didn’t feel him deep inside her soon. Reaching up, she ran the tip of her tongue up the length of his extended canine. What happened next shocked her.

“Oh Gods!” Mak’s thick voice exploded as his body jerked forward impaling her smaller form on him.

Tansy gasped at the sudden intrusion. Even as slick as she was, it was a shock to feel him suddenly buried balls deep inside her. Tears burned her eyes at the sudden burst of pain but it faded just as quickly as her body adjusted to the steel of his cock. She wrapped her arms tighter around him and used her heels to let him know she wanted him to move as she began to rock back and forth in the ageless dance of mating. She felt every inch of him as he pulled out and pushed in. Each move slid over sensitive nerves increasing the slickness of her vaginal channel until there was no way of knowing where he began and she ended. They were forged together into one being.

You feel so good. I don’t ever want you to stop,
Tansy thought in a delicious haze.

I will always be with you,
Mak responded as another shudder swept through his body as she clenched him even tighter.
Gods Tansy, this is incredible.

Tansy stopped thinking as Mak began moving faster and harder until all she could do was hang on tightly as he rocked into her body over and over. He nudged her head to the side, bending over her and wrapping his arms around her to pull her even closer. Tansy leaned into him biting down on his shoulder as her body began to shake with the need for release. She fought against it not wanting this time to end. Her body shattered into convulsions of ecstasy when he sank his teeth into her shoulder.

Tansy’s body arched and a small scream tore from her throat as her climax exploded outward in wave after wave of pure pleasure. Mak refused to stop even when she hoarsely cried out as tiny aftershocks rocked her. He slammed into her harder and deeper than she thought possible. His huge body tensed before he jerked his mouth away from her hot flesh and roared out his own release. Tremors racked his body as he released his seed deep inside her. Tansy could feel the heat of it as it poured into her womb. It was almost like even that part of him was claiming her, possessing her until she was no longer just Tansy Bell.
