“I meant what I said. The fact it was you making love to me made it special, perfect even. That you care about me, wanted to please me, makes this the best experience I’ve ever had. Please stop tearing yourself down. You’re the most incredible man I’ve ever met.”
His throat tightened with emotion. It amazed him that someone so small could have such an effect on him. Tark didn’t know what he’d ever done to deserve a mate as sweet as Suki, but he wanted to give her the best life he could. If he needed to take fewer missions, then he’d ask for a job to do on Xpashta. Whatever she needed, he’d see that she had it.
“You should rest,” he said, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “I know Wrylack said it was all right to be intimate, but you’ve been through a lot and may not be fully healed.”
Suki sighed. “Tark, you heard him. He said everything was fine.”
Maybe, but it didn’t mean he couldn’t worry about her. It seemed she’d been a long time without someone watching over her. From what he’d learned, her sister had tried, but they had been kept separate after they were sold to the brothel. It still pained him, his inability to save Yoko. Deep down, he knew he wasn’t at fault, and it was a miracle he’d been able to get Suki out of there, and his brother cyborgs had retrieved the other two females, but it wasn’t enough. The suffering they’d endured was beyond horrific.
“You know, there are lots of positions for us to try,” she said.
“Positions?” he asked.
Suki smiled. “Oh, yeah. There are many different ways to have sex. Why don’t I show you another one?”
When she pushed on his chest, Tark rolled to his back, taking Suki with him. She straddled his hips, placing her hands on his abdomen and sitting upright. As her hips shifted, he grew hard again. Suki had a wicked look in her eyes as she gazed down at him.
“What is it, mate?” he asked.
Suki reached for his hand, then placed it on her breast. “You can squeeze my breasts, as long as you don’t do it too hard. My nipples are really sensitive. I like it when you pinch and pull on them. If you do anything that hurts, I’ll let you know.”
“And here?” he asked, rubbing the nub between her thighs again.
“Ohh, that feels good. I like when you rub me there, but you don’t have to do it quite so gently. It’s okay to put pressure on my clit. You can pinch or tug on it too, if you’d like, just not too rough.”
Suki lifted her hips, then lowered herself on his cock. Tark watched her, mesmerized as her breasts bounced and swayed with her movements. Even though it felt amazing, having her ride him, he wanted her to feel just as good. He tugged on her nipples and gripped her hip with his cybernetic hand. As he pinched and pulled on the tips, he helped guide her movement. When she started coming, Tark didn’t think he could handle much more. Using both hands, he held her hips firmly and slammed her down onto his cock as he thrust upward.
Suki’s head tipped back, exposing the column of her throat, and she leaned back, bracing her hands on his thighs. The sexiest sounds came from her lips as she came twice more. Tark didn’t know how he’d found his control when it came to having sex with his mate, but he felt a rush of pleasure at making her come so many times. Tark’s cock jerked and he groaned as he filled her with his release, every hot spurt making his balls draw up tighter.
Suki collapsed on his chest, panting for breath, her hair clinging to her sweat soaked brow.
“I think you have the hang of it now,” she said.
Tark smiled and ran his fingers through her long locks.
“Is there anything you’d like?” he asked. “A bath? A tour of Xpashta?”
She sighed. “I’d love to soak in a tub of hot water, but by bath, I’m going to assume you mean a shower like onboard your ship.”
He frowned. He’d never thought of having one of those sunken pools of water in his home. The standing unit was fine for him, but a female might prefer one of the soaking pools. Now that he had a mate, he wanted to ensure she had everything she wanted or needed. Perhaps he could have one added, or ask to build a new home his mate might like better.
“How do humans bathe on your world?” he asked, wanting to know about Suki and where she came from. Until Maggie, he’d never met a human before, and Lathim didn’t exactly encourage single males to have lengthy conversations with his mate. The few humans Tark had encountered hadn’t wanted to speak with him either. Until his Suki, most females had tried to get out of his path as quickly as possible.
“Well, we have showers or tubs. The tubs sit on the floor and you can fill them with water, then let it drain through a hole that goes into the floor and runs through pipes under the house. How is it done here?”
“Some of my fellow cyborgs have homes with sunken pools, but I believe most are like mine with just the standing cleansing unit. If you would like one of the pools, I can find out if one can be added.”
“I don’t have to have one, Tark, but it’s sweet of you to offer. This home is the best I’ve lived in for so very long. Even when I was on Earth, my home was smaller than this. You don’t need to change anything,” Suki said.
“This is your home now, not just mine,” he said. “I want you to be happy with me, Suki. I don’t want you to regret ever choosing me as your mate.”
She smiled a little. “Tark, having a tub isn’t going to change how I feel about being here with you. Would one be nice? Of course. But it isn’t something I absolutely have to have.”
“There’s something else. My job is off world. There will be times I need to leave, and you may be alone for several of your Earth weeks or possibly even months. If you’d prefer that I stay nearby, I can ask for a job here on Xpashta.”
She was silent, her teeth denting her lower lip. Her gaze met his. “As much as I would love to have you here all the time, I’m not going to ask you to change your job, or anything about you. I would imagine that every job is important to your people, and you were selected for yours for a reason. I’m not selfish enough to have you give it up.”
Tark ran his fingers through her hair. She really was the perfect mate. As much as he hated all that she’d endured since leaving her planet, he was glad that she was here with him. If he hadn’t found her sister lying in the alley, he would have never known about Suki, and he would have missed out on having the sweetest of mates.
