“We don’t care what they think.”
“I know.” She straightened, totally bare. “It just kind of freaked me out. Why don’t you come distract me?” Her arms lifted as she reached out to him.
True was across the bathroom in a heartbeat, lifting Jeanie against his body until their faces were level. “I should call Justice and ask him to arrest the human so he can’t use other ways to try to get you away from me. It’s obvious he’s the one who lied to the government males.”
“No. We need to find the other New Species first, True,” Jeanie reminded him.
“It’s not worth your constant fear, Jeanie.”
She bit her lip. “I have lived with far worse than this, True. This isn’t even that bad. At least I haven’t been shot this time,” she joked.
True growled. “No one will get that close to you.”
“It was a joke. I know that. I’m safe with you.”
He sniffed at her, that sweet scent detectable. “I keep scenting your fear and it’s driving me insane. I can’t stand to know you’re afraid. Every instinct I have is howling at me to protect you. It makes me crazy. You shouldn’t have to live with fear.”
She hugged him tighter around his shoulders and lifted her legs, wrapping them around his waist. “We need to let this ride, True. It’s too important to try to find the other New Species. I’m going to be fine.”
He kissed her forehead. “I want to protect you and make sure you’re no longer afraid.”
“I know. And I want your people found and saved. It’s worth the fear I’m experiencing until this is over.”
“I am not so sure. You were hurt to save my life and then you were shot protecting our people. You have done more than enough for Species. You deserve to be happy most of all, Jeanie.”
“I have you.” She nuzzled his throat with her lips, brushing a kiss there. “I’ve never been happier in my life.” She looked up at him. “Do you want to know what would make me ecstatic?”
“Name it and it’s yours.”
“Carry me into the bedroom. The bath can wait.”
He just turned and walked into the bedroom. Jeanie jerked her head toward the bed. “Over there. Make love to me. I’ll touch you to make you forget your anger and you can totally distract me from my fear.”
He sat on the bed with her on his lap. “I like this plan.”
“Less talking and more touching.”
He growled and reached up, tangling his fingers in her hair to pull her lips closer to his. She opened up to him as he kissed her. He barely noticed when she unwrapped her legs from his waist until she gave him a sudden push that took him off guard. He landed on his back on the mattress, staring up at her in surprise.
Jeanie lifted up, bracing her hands on his chest to adjust her legs to straddle his lap while she grinned at him. “Stay just like that.”
One eyebrow arched in question but he held still as his mate lowered down his body until her ass rested over the top of his thighs. She straightened up and reached for the front of his pants, unfastening them.
“You wish to undress me?”
“You could say that.” Her gaze darted up and held his, a gleam of humor in her eyes. “I’m going to play with you this time.”
He liked it when she was mischievous. “You want to touch me until my control breaks?”
She chuckled. “You like to dominate me in the bedroom so I’m turning the tables on you.”
He lifted his hips, taking her with him, to help when she got his pants open and indicated she wanted to shove them down enough to free his stiff dick from the confines of the material. He watched her smile as she studied his sex. He was pleased that she liked the sight of him bare.
“Put your hands behind your head and keep them there.”
He hesitated but did it. Some males had talked about sex with humans and how they asked for strange things. “I can’t touch you if I do that.”
“That’s the point for right now. I’m going to do the touching.”
She gripped the bottom of his shirt and shoved it up. He arched his back to help her. She stopped when he was bare up to his nipples and he growled when she bent forward, her tongue tracing the rounded tip of the left one. Her breath was warm, her mouth heaven when it closed over his nipple and he closed his eyes as she sucked. Her bottom teeth gently raked over the straining tip that instantly responded. His dick was trapped between their bodies and it twitched from the anticipation of what was to come.
Her open palms slid over his abdomen, the caress lowering until one of her hands wrapped around the girth of his shaft. He growled louder and his hips ground against her.
Jeanie released his nipple and blew air over it. He opened his eyes, staring at her while she smiled at him. “You like that?”
He just nodded, unable to speak at that moment.
“I think you’ll love this then.”
She wiggled a little lower, her mouth kissing over his ribs. Her tongue darted out to lick him in a few places and his hands fisted above his head. He wanted to touch her so bad. The urge was nearly impossible to resist but he remembered she wanted him to keep his hands up.
He wanted to roll her over by the time she reached his lower belly. He wanted to fuck his mate. He kept watching her, loving how she held his gaze, almost as if she watched him to gauge his reactions. She wasn’t fearful when a snarl burst forth as she lowered her lips and placed a wet kiss on his pelvic bone so close to his dick that he could feel her hot breath fan over it.
“You should see your face,” she whispered. “You’re so sexy when you bite your lower lip and give me that wild look.”
He tried to school his features a little in case she mistook desire for anger, something he didn’t want. She rose a little, scooted down his thighs a bit more, and lowered her head again. She tossed her hair to one side and it spread across his exposed hip. The sensation tickled a little but he had no urge to laugh when her mouth hovered so close to his dick that he forgot how to breathe.
Her lips parted and her pink tongue darted out. The sensation of her licking the crown of his cock made him hiss and jerk his hips. She stopped, staring at him in surprise.
“Are you okay?”
“What are you doing?” He winced, surprised that harsh tone was coming from him.
Her fingers curled tighter around his shaft, giving him a squeeze. “Giving you head.”
His mind blanked.
“Oral sex.”
“I know what it means.” He sat up a little, adjusting his arms down to be able to brace his elbows on the bed. “We didn’t discuss this.”
Her lips curved upward. “Do we need to? You go down on me. Fair is fair.”
“Um…” He had a hard time speaking with Jeanie’s mouth so close to his dick and him more than aware of where she’d licked him. He throbbed in her hand, another thing he was painfully conscious of. “That’s not a good idea.”
“Why not?” She didn’t appear frightened, just confused.
“Species males shoot hard when their semen releases and you know I swell at the base.”
“So I’ll just play with you for a while.”
“You’re trying to kill me,” he blurted out. What he said registered and he wanted to groan in regret. He knew she wasn’t actually trying to murder him but he worried she’d think that’s what he was accusing her of. “I mean, my control isn’t that great. I’ve never tested myself this way before.”
Her head tilted a little and her eyes narrowed as she studied his face. “Are you telling me no one has ever gone down on you?”
He could feel heat rushing to his face. She couldn’t hide that she thought it was either bizarre or unusual. That was the last thing he wanted his mate to think. It was a little embarrassing. “Species females don’t do that.”
She grinned. “I’m going to be your first? Well, lie back and enjoy. Try not to pull my hair, okay?”
“Jeanie,” he warned softly, “I don’t think this is a good idea.”
