Victoria and the Alien Doctor (Intergalactic Brides 2) (8 page)

Victoria lifted his arm and slid out of bed, padding quietly out of the bedroom. She pulled a bottle of water from the mini-fridge and took a long drink. A hand slid around the back of her neck and she dropped the bottle with a squeak.

“Easy,” Xonos crooned, placing a kiss on top of her head. “I didn’t mean to startle you.”

“I’m sorry I woke you.”

“I didn’t hear you get up, but I felt your absence. Odd, since I’ve slept alone for so long, but within a week of being with you, the bed suddenly feels empty without you in it.”

Victoria turned and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head on his chest. His deliciously
naked
chest. Her body burned at the thought that he was naked everywhere… if she just had the courage to strip those pajama pants off him. From what she’d seen and heard, Terrans didn’t believe in underwear. He’d been teasing her every night since he first brought her here and probably didn’t even know it.

“Xonos… you desire me, right?” She felt his cock pulse against her and smiled.

“You know I do, Victoria. Why are you asking?”

She leaned back enough to look up into his eyes. “What if I asked you to let that iron-like control snap for once?”

“You don’t know what you’re saying. Trust me. You want me in control of myself at all times.” His eyes darkened and the bulge in his pants grew, far more than she’d thought possible.

Oh yeah, she definitely wanted him to lose control. Maybe she’d have to take things into her own hands. She’d never seduced someone before, but something told her it wouldn’t take much to get him to break. At least, she hoped it wouldn’t. The slight touch of his hands as they rested on her shoulders was enough to make her shiver. If something so innocent was enough to weaken her knees, what would happen when he had his hands elsewhere on her?

Victoria licked her lips, feeling a thrill run through her when he traced the movement. It made her wonder if he’d ever kissed anyone before. He’d told her that his encounters had merely been a way to expel some energy and frustration, but he’d left out all the details.

“Have you ever kissed before?” she asked. Was that her voice? That low, throaty, sultry sound?

“No.” His gaze was fastened on her mouth, and she went up on tiptoe to press her lips to his.

Victoria felt him stiffen against her for a moment before wrapping his arms around her, lifting her so he could kiss her more thoroughly. For a man who’d never done it before, he sure seemed like an expert. His tongue swept into her mouth, drawing a moan from her. The kiss was deep and delicious, making her want even more. The seductive push and pull of his lips on hers made her nipples harden.

Xonos drew back, but only long enough to sweep her into his arms and carry her back to their bedroom where he used his hip to quietly shut the door, then set her down on her feet. His dark purple gaze was intense as it bore into her. Slowly, as if waiting for her to stop him, Xonos reached for her top and drew it over her head, letting it fall to the floor. He maintained eye contact as he stripped the rest of her before letting his gaze caress every inch of her.

Victoria shivered from both the chill and the unbanked passion blazing in his eyes. With shaking hands, she reached out tugged his pants down, letting them land around his ankles. She sucked in a breath at the impressive sight of him.

Oh lord! That’s definitely more than a handful… or three
.

“I won’t hurt you,” he said, mistaking her silence for unease.

“I trust you, Xonos. You’re just… so big. I have to admit, I’m not entirely convinced you’ll fit.”

“I’ll fit.” He smiled. “All Terrans run a bit bigger than your human males. None of the other mates have had a problem, so I’m confident you won’t either.”

“I know you’ve been with… prostitutes before, but I don’t know how much you’ve experienced in the bedroom,” she said.

His smile broadened. “Not to worry, sweet mate. I’ve studied the Earth sex videos and know you may require things of me I haven’t experienced before. But if you want to be tied up and spanked, I’ll try to do it the right way.”

Victoria choked and then burst out laughing.

Xonos frowned. “Is that not right?”

She wiped a tear from her eye. “You watched porn as a way to learn how to please a human woman?”

“If that’s what it’s called.”

“Those videos are meant to entertain, not to be used as a how-to.” She smiled and shook her head. “We don’t have to do any of the things you saw. I don’t want to dress up in outfits. I most certainly don’t want your cock shoved in my ass, and there will be no paddles or whips.”

“Then Earth women do things the same as the prostitutes?”

“Well, that depends… How do the prostitutes do it?”

His frown grew. “They lie still while the male gets on top.”

Oh dear
. “That’s one way to do it, but I promise to never just lie there. You can take me on my side, on my knees, or I can ride you. We can do it standing up too, if that’s what you prefer.”

Now he looked curious. “Standing up?” He eyed her up and down. “But you’re so much smaller than I am.”

“You would pick me up, and I’d wrap my legs around your waist.”

“Like this?” he asked, as he lifted her into his arms. Her legs folded around him and she grabbed at his shoulders.

“You might want to press me against the wall for extra support. Otherwise, your arms will get tired.”

He snorted. “Not likely.”

His cock brushed against the curls between her thighs, and she knew he could feel how wet and ready she was for him. And yet, he didn’t move. Now it was her turn to frown.

“Are you just going to hold me?” she asked.

“What am I supposed to do now?”

Her cheeks burned at the thought of having to give him step by step instructions. She’d never been very vocal during sex before and all of this talking was… well, it wasn’t exactly unpleasant, but it made her uncomfortable. “Now you have to enter me, then lift me up and down on your cock until both of us come.”

Victoria felt the head of his cock press against her slick folds and then he was easing inside of her, taking his time and giving her body the chance to adjust to his size. When he was fully seated, she groaned at the fullness, but it was also the best feeling in the world.

She leaned forward and pressed her lips to his. “Now you move.”

With his hands wrapped around her waist, he lifted her and then let her fall back on his cock again and again. Victoria tingled from head to toe, pleasure spiraling from her pussy throughout her body. Her nipples pebbled even more from the friction of rubbing against his chest as he slid her body up and down. The strokes became deeper and harder.

Victoria clawed at his shoulders as her orgasm flooded her, wave after wave of ecstasy bombarding her body. She could feel her pussy spasming around his cock as he gave a shout and stilled inside of her. Her channel warmed as his seed poured out of him. Knowing that her essence mingled with his made her feel even closer to him in that moment. He’d been there for her emotionally from the very first, but now they were tied together physically as well.

His breathing was faster than normal, but he hadn’t even broken a sweat. “Was that the right way?”

She gave a weak laugh and leaned her head against the wall. “Xonos, if you did it any more right than that, I wouldn’t be able to stand tomorrow. I think you turned my legs into Jell-O.”

Xonos lifted her so they could separate, then he set her down on her feet. “We should shower.”

“Together? I could scrub your back.”

He looked intrigued. “I’ve never showered with someone before. I think I’d like to though. If you’re sure you don’t mind sharing the shower.”

“Of course I don’t mind. I almost joined you the other day, but I didn’t feel like we’d reached that point yet.”

“I was thankful you didn’t look around the curtain that day. Just your presence was enough to arouse me. But then, I’m aroused every time I’m near you. Leather pants just make it a little easier to hide than not wearing pants at all.”

Victoria laughed. “You don’t have to hide your desire for me, and I promise I won’t hide mine for you. I want us to have an open relationship, not open in the sense we see other people, but I want us to be able to talk to each other about anything. Don’t hide your feelings for me, even if you think it will embarrass me or overwhelm me. I want to know what you’re thinking and how you’re feeling.”

“I want the same thing, but you’ve seemed so reserved. I was worried I would push too hard and ask for too much from you. Trust is important to me, and I wanted you to trust me.”

She placed her hand on his arm. “I do trust you, Xonos. I have from the very first, I think.”

“Let’s get you cleaned up and then we’ll go back to bed. It won’t be long before the sun rises, and our daughter seems to wake up early.”

She smiled wistfully. “You really think of her as your daughter?”

Xonos wrapped his arms around her and drew her close. “I think of both of you as mine. We may not have known one another very long, but I’ve come to appreciate the strength and courage in both of you. Even when Evie has to be in a great deal of pain, she suffers in silence so she won’t upset anyone. She has the spirit of a warrior, and I’m very proud to call her my daughter. We will cure her, Victoria. I won’t settle for anything less than a full recovery. Syl has the best scientist in all of the galaxies coming to help.”

“What will life be like for us on your world? Evie will be the only human child. I don’t want the others to look down on her.”

“A Terran would never make her feel like less because she’s fully human. Just because they didn’t want to become her father doesn’t mean they don’t care what happens to her. But you may not have to worry about it.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m going to ask the council if I can remain here and staff the clinic full time on a permanent basis. After seeing the things Syl has been able to give his mate, I want to do the same for you. On Terran, I’m not wealthy like I am here. Warriors are paid more than doctors and scientists, even though we’re the ones keeping them alive so they can fight.”

“Xonos, I don’t need fancy things or lots of money. I can’t miss what I’ve never had.”

“But I want to give those things to you. You’ve lived such a hard life, Victoria. Let me spoil Evie and you for as long as I can. If I remain here, the council may cut my earnings.”

“You said you cashed out several hundred thousand. If we don’t go on wild spending sprees all the time, that money can last for years, Xonos.”

“I want to buy you a house like Syl bought for his mate.”

Victoria shook her head. “I don’t need anything that big. I’d hate to clean it.”

“We’ll discuss it later.” He swung her up into his arms. “For now, we’re going to get you cleaned up and tucked back into bed.”

Victoria sighed in contentment. She loved that he wanted to give her things, but it wasn’t necessary. A small home in a nice neighborhood would be more than sufficient. She thought about the life that could very well have been created just moments ago and amended that to a medium sized house.

Regardless of the money, the one thing she’d learned tonight is that she wanted Xonos in her life always. She’d felt close to him before, but now she couldn’t imagine going back to her lonely existence. He was kind, caring, and made her tingle in all the right places. She’d be a fool not to fall in love with him, and if she wasn’t mistaken, she was already halfway there.

Xonos came awake suddenly, feeling as if he were being watched. Bolting upright in bed, he came nose to nose with Evie, who smiled and clambered onto the bed. He was rather thankful at the moment that he’d thought to put on more of those pajama pants Victoria had purchased for him, and insisted on his mate putting on the sexy nightgown he’d picked up the other day.

His daughter sat in his lap and leaned back against him. “I thought you’d never get up. I’ve been up forever and ever.”

Xonos looked out the window at the pink streaks of the rising sun. “Did you get up when it was still dark?”

Evie nodded.

“Why couldn’t you sleep? Are you hurting?”

“No, but…”

“Is there something you want to do today?”

“I’ve never been to an amusement park before. There was a commercial for Kentucky Kingdom and the roller coasters look like so much fun.”

“Hmm. Well, you know, I’ve heard those roller coasters can jerk you around a lot. I think the amusement park would be better after you’re well. What do you say we find something a little safer to do today?”

“No roller coasters?” she asked, her lip sticking out in an adorable pout.

“Not right now. What about a museum?”

“A horse-back ride?”

“Too dangerous right now. It’s right up there with roller coasters. I don’t want you to break something if you fall off. Your bones are still very brittle, but I promise we’ll do lots of fun things. What about going swimming?”

She tilted her head and seemed to think about it. “I don’t have a swimsuit. I’ve never been swimming before. Mommy said the pool where we lived was too dangerous, that bad people hung out there.”

“Your mommy is very smart. But the pool here is very safe. Although if you don’t know how to swim, it might be more dangerous than I think.”

Evie looked up at him. “What if I had some of those arm floaty things? They’d keep me up in the water so I wouldn’t drown.”

“Hmm. I suppose that would work. What do you say we let your mommy sleep a little longer, and you and I can go out and find you a swimsuit and floaties?”

Her eyes lit up. “Just you and me?”

He nodded.

Evie squealed and scrambled off the bed, running back to her room. Xonos chuckled, checked on Victoria, and then quickly changed clothes. He tapped his fingers against his black leather pants and pondered what Victoria had said not too long ago. He’d seen the denim pants she’d claimed to want to purchase for him. They looked more comfortable than these were. Maybe he’d surprise her and buy a few human clothes while he was out. Guessing his size shouldn’t be too hard. He knew his measurements so that should help.
