Norkov patted his shoulder.You will do fine, and everyone loves your Suki. You have nothing to fear.
“Come, my sweet mate,” Tark said, tugging on Suki’s hand. “You should rest a bit more in case we leave soon. I’ll make sure our things are packed and ready to go.”
Back in their suite, Tark tucked Suki into bed, pressed a kiss to her brow, then made sure all of their things were ready. He wished he had Norkov’s optimism over going to a new world, but past experience told Tark that the human females on Zelthrane-3 would likely fear him. He hated when that happened, since he would never hurt a female. They were precious and to be protected at all costs.
When he was finished, he noticed his sweet Suki was still awake, and was watching his every move. He smiled as he approached the bed, then removed his boots before stretching out next to her. She immediately curled into him, sighing in contentment. It still seemed impossible that such an amazing female would ask to be his, and yet she had. Regardless of where they lived, Tark would be thankful every day for the gift of his mate and their unborn child. They were both a treasure he’d thought would never be part of his life. If being on Zelthrane-3 made his Suki happy, then he would gladly remain there until the day he died. And perhaps it wouldn’t be as bad as he feared. It sounded like a nice place to raise a family.
“You’re thinking too hard,” Suki said.
“Sorry, mate. I was thinking about our new home, and hoping that you’ll be happy there.”
She pressed a kiss over his heart. “I’ll be happy as long as you’re with me. I don’t care where we live, Tark. I only need you.”
He felt her fingers slide along the waistband of his pants before dipping inside. He grabbed her hand and stared at her. She’d nearly died, hadn’t even been awake a full day. She needed rest, even if his cock had been hard since he’d joined her in the bath earlier. Suki’s gaze lifted to his as she grew bolder. She pulled her hand free and unfastened his pants. Suki gripped his shaft, giving it a slight squeeze.
“Suki. Mate. We shouldn’t.”
“Please, Tark. I need you. I ache.”
“You nearly died.”
“It’s not that kind of ache,” she said. She released his cock, then grabbed his hand and put it between her thighs. “I hurt here. For you.”
“My mate. I don’t want to set back your recovery. What if I make things worse? You were unconscious for so long. You heard Healer. He said to rest.”
Suki blinked at him, her eyes wide, and her lower lip protruded a little. He hated to deny her anything. Tark shifted so that Suki lay under him, and he slowly removed her clothes. Her nipples hardened and he groaned, staring at the tempting little buds. He licked his lips and leaned down, drawing one into his mouth. Suki cried out, her hands fisting his hair as he sucked on the tip. He toyed with her pussy. She was soft and slick, and getting wetter the more he touched and tasted her.
Tark switched to the other breast, giving her nipple a slight bite that had her gasping and arching into him. He lapped at the hard peak before tormenting the other side again. He worked his fingers into her tight channel, pumping them in and out, her cream coating the digits. Tark brushed his thumb over her clit and Suki’s body went rigid before relaxing into the bed. She whimpered as her pussy gripped his fingers. Tark stroked her through her orgasm, and didn’t stop playing with his sweet mate until she’d come twice more.
He withdrew his fingers and pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Now maybe you can rest.”
“No! We’re not done.”
“Suki, please be reasonable.”
“If you don’t put your cock in me and fuck me right now, I may never speak to you again.” Her jaw tightened and she tipped her chin, glaring down her nose.
Tark tried not to smile and lost the battle.
Suki reached for him, working his pants down his hips enough that his cock and balls were free of the restrictive leather. She gripped his shaft and tugged until he shifted his hips and pressed the head of his cock against her wet slit.
“I need you, Tark. All of you.”
Tark wrapped her hair around his fist and braced his weight on his forearm as he sank into her. He locked his gaze with hers as she stretched to accommodate him. Nothing felt as incredible as being inside his Suki. When he was balls deep, he held still a moment, just enjoying the feel of her wrapped around his shaft. He thrust, slow and steady, every stroke as deep as he could go.
It didn’t feel right, taking his mate with his pants still on, but she didn’t seem to mind. Her eyes darkened and her lips parted. The flush on her cheeks was enchanting. Tark wouldn’t increase his pace, not even when she wrapped her legs around him and pressed her heels to his ass. He rocked into her, sweat slicking his skin from the effort not to take her harder, faster. Tark angled his pelvis on the next stroke and rubbed across her clit as he buried his cock in her pussy.
Suki bit her lip and grabbed his biceps, her nails digging into his skin. It only took a few more times of rubbing against her clit before she was coming. He closed his eyes a moment, breathing hard as he tried to gain control, but when she squeezed him tight with her pussy, he knew he’d lost the battle. His eyes flicked open and he growled as he pounded into her, unable to hold back another moment. Tark took her hard, fast, and so very deep. His hips snapped, his movements jerky as he came, filling her until his release ran out and soaked the bedding.
Tark remained buried inside her for a bit longer, kissing her sweetly. Suki twined her arms around his neck as her tongue brushed against his. The taste of her was enough to make him fully erect once more, but he wouldn’t take her like a rutting beast. He started to withdraw, but Suki tightened her hold on him.
“No. Please.”
“Suki.” He kissed her tenderly. “I don’t want to wear you out. Being with you is amazing, and I would take you all day and all night if I could, but I don’t think it’s in your best interest. You need to finish healing.”
“Take your pants off, then kneel on the bed,” she said.
He narrowed his eyes a moment, but slipped free of her body and did as she said. His mate gave him the sweetest smile before turning and showing him her back. He didn’t understand what she wanted, until she backed toward him, and then sat down, his cock sliding inside her again.
