Chapter 15
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Lila
Link drops that bomb, making me responsible for Saxon’s life. Holy fuck! How fucking cruel can this universe be?
“He can no longer take blood from another being until he seals the bond with you. It’s considered cheating, and their bodies will reject it until his connection with his blood rose is secure.”
I remain silent while I consider my alternatives.
Not that there is anything to consider now that I know he will die.
There’s no way I’m going to let that happen, but it feels so sudden.
Sure, the man’s sexy as fuck, but apart from that, I know nothing other than he held my hair back when I puked from motion sickness.
I mean, that was kind, right? Especially with his enhanced senses.
I’m still warring with my thoughts when Link stands up and holds out his hand.
“Come on, you don’t need to make a decision today.
Remember, I have him sedated in my clinic, and I can sustain him intravenously until you make a choice.
His body won’t reject that, so we can keep him out for a couple of days. ”
“I’ll need to talk to Caspian, and of course I want your opinion too,” I tell him, and he blinks, seeming shocked.
“Link, you and I are seeing where this relationship might take us. Unlike Caspian or Saxon, I guess, we have the luxury of it happening naturally without it being forced on me, and I can’t tell you how much that relieves me.
Of course I want to ask your opinion on anyone else I might be sleeping with or marrying, so to speak. ”
He yanks me into his arms and hugs me tightly. “Thank you, Lila. I didn’t actually really think I had any chance with you with all these magical matings. Why would you want someone as boring as me?”
I pull away but grab his shirt, fisting the fabric as his hands fall to my hips. “Oh, Link, you are anything but boring to me. Come on, let me bury my head back in the sand for another twelve hours. I’ll worry about Saxon in the morning. Right now, I want to see what your dance moves are like.”
And a few other moves… in bed.
Patience, Lila. Patience.
He grabs my hand and twirls me under his arm before dipping me.
“Let me tell you, Lila, my dance moves are on point. My programming won’t let me be anything but perfect.
I know how to seduce you with my moves, so are you sure you’re ready for me to bring the heat?
” His eyes twinkle with amusement, and I feel all my lady bits squeal with excitement.
“I can’t wait for you to show me what you’ve got,” I purr suggestively, and when the amusement in his silver eyes changes to a hot smolder, I know my night is about to get exciting.
I’m sweaty and breathless and horny as fuck after we spend a couple of hours drinking and dancing. Link introduced me to a few people who came over and talked to him earlier, but he didn’t encourage them to stick around.
I can see Magenta on the opposite side of the dance floor, but she’s dancing with a tall, athletically built woman, and it looks like it might be getting hot and heavy.
They have their arms wrapped around each other, and the taller woman’s leg is between Magenta’s.
She’s so engrossed, she doesn’t even notice me.
“That’s Velorina. She’s one of Saxon’s clan,” Link informs me when he sees where I’m looking.
“Huh, Magenta mentioned she had her eye on one of them. I guess she managed to catch her interest as well.”
“Now that I think about it, they don’t know that Saxon is out of commission yet.
I haven’t told them, but it won’t be long before Hale or one of the others comes looking for him.
You probably shouldn’t go anywhere alone for the next few days.
I’ll speak to Xavier. He will be able to keep you company when I have to work or Caspian has to work with the new act.
” A prickle of unease worries at my mind.
Link never mentioned anything about me being in danger apart from Saxon, and he’s sedated.
I almost ask him what he’s talking about, but then I remember my mantra for today.
“Nope, we’re not talking about He-Who-Won’t-Be-Named until tomorrow, remember?” I place a finger over Link’s lips, shushing him.
He opens his mouth and sucks my finger into his warm, wet heat, his eyes locking onto mine. My core throbs, and I decide I’m done with vertical dancing.
“Take me home, Link, and show me all those moves you promised me you know.”
I don’t have to ask him twice.
He grabs my hand, pulling it from his mouth, and then he takes off, dragging me through the crowded dance floor.
He rushes us to the elevator, and it takes us up to one of the residential levels.
I don’t get a chance to see which one, because the minute the door closes and he presses the button, he’s on me, pushing me against the wall and taking my mouth with his.
He kisses like he’s trying to consume me through our connection, but it’s not sloppy and gross like other past, regrettable kisses.
No, this one has all the right pressure and tongue, and it’s nothing short of breathtaking.
He lifts me up, and I wrap my legs around him so when the doors open, our mouths don’t have to part.
I feel us moving, but I’m too caught up in this kiss to care about much else.
I blink and we’re in his bedroom. Link drops me onto his bed and looks down at me with a satisfied smirk on his face. This sexy man has me right where he wants me.
His bed is just like the one in my quarters. It’s huge, big enough for three or four, and as comfortable as a cloud. I wave a finger at him.
“Strip now, please,” I order, propping up on my elbows so I can get a good view of Link removing his clothes.
He quickly pulls his shirt over his head.
Tonight was the first time I’d seen him out of his uniform, and he looks even better in a shirt and jeans than he does in his regulation clothes, but holy fuck, shirtless Link is even better.
I bring a finger up to my mouth to check for drool.
Nope, I’m good, and even if I had any, I would feel no shame.
Link is all long, lean, defined muscle covered by that gorgeous shimmery skin.
His silver hair is sticking up from removing his shirt, and he has that sexy rumpled look which is different from his everyday, straitlaced, put together doctor persona.
And the look in those silver eyes makes my heart pound even faster.
This man is fucking sinful.
His hand goes to his jeans, and I swear time slows down as he undoes the button and pulls down the zipper before shoving them down his thighs.
I hold my breath in anticipation. What is he going to look like down there?
Caspian’s suckers were a shock, but they turned out to be an awesome surprise.
I wonder if the good doctor is packing anything different.
I mentally slap myself for not asking Magenta about cyborgs as well in our alien birds and bees conversation.
When his underwear hits the floor, and I see what he looks like down there, I blink, unsure what I am seeing.
Link is completely hairless and incredibly well-endowed.
I wonder if cyborg parents program that kind of thing into their children’s coding when they are creating them.
Is that how cyborgs are created? Damn, another birds and bees failure.
He pounces onto the bed and crawls up so that his naked body surrounds my still fully dressed one.
Before I can reach out to stroke any of that satiny, shimmery skin, he sits back on his heels and drags me up.
Next, he grabs the hem of my dress and wiggles it over my butt before pulling it up and over my head.
He tosses it away with a flick of his wrist as his eyes rake over my naked form.
“Lila, you’re mouthwatering,” he praises before leaning in and taking one of my nipples into his mouth. He licks across the tight bud, and as he does, his tongue changes texture.
What the hell? I pull his head back from my breast with both hands.
“Show me your tongue,” I demand, and he sticks it out. Sure enough, it has little ridges running across it. “But that’s not how it normally is, is it?” I ask him, and he smirks before poking it back out again. I watch as the ridges flatten out and it becomes normal again.
Holy shit! “Can you do that with other parts?” I ask him as I look down at his thick cock. It bobs slightly like it knows I’m looking at it before it slowly starts to change. Little lumps push up all over it and it starts to vibrate, much like my favorite rabbit vibrator does.
I’m rendered speechless, and Link must take that as a sign to continue because he sucks my nipple back into his mouth again. He teases it until I’m moaning in need before swapping to the other one and giving it the same treatment. It feels so good, I grow a little bold.
“Can you show me how it feels on my clit?” I ask, but I don’t really give him a choice as I push his head down where I want it to be. His shoulders shudder under my hands as he shakes with laughter, but I’m not going to be embarrassed for taking what I want.
The first lash of his tongue has me shouting, “Holy fuck, yes!” but then it starts to vibrate, and my orgasm bursts out of me before I even realized it arrived.
I feel myself squirt all over Link, and I blush with embarrassment and quickly apologize, but there’s no need, because the man is licking it all up like it’s his favorite meal.
“Lila, you taste so good,” he murmurs as he cleans me up and I come down from the unexpected pleasure. “I can’t wait to feel your tight cunt squeeze my cock.”
Oh, hello! Dirty talk from my sexy nerdy love interest? If I wasn’t already screaming with need, that would do it.
