Solara 31
Onidus shuts the ramp to his ship. “ION, give us privacy, please.”
“Yes, sir.”
The AI lights in the ceiling darken from gold to blue except for the one over the pilot’s seat.
Onidus carries me into his room and lays me down on his bed. “Think you have energy for another round?”
“Hell yes.” I unbuckle my armor as he tears his off.
Onidus works me out of my suit and tosses my clothes aside with his.
His hot skin brushes over me as he crawls up to bond his mouth to mine.
His hands play in my hair and trace the back of my neck as his hips press into mine. His erection dips between my thighs.
A bead of precum drips over my clit as he slides back and eases his tip closer to my opening. Then Onidus picks his head up.
“Tell me if something hurts.” He pushes up and looks down at my scarred chest. “I don’t want to risk your life because I crave feeling all of you.”
“I will.”
“One more thing.” Onidus lifts a hand toward a cabinet in the wall and summons something small from it.
He catches it, takes my left hand, and slides something over my finger.
“I know it is customary for humans to wear a band on their fingers to show they are Bonded. This is Ezarsnthine, found on my world.”
I look down at the stone and smile as it begins to glow a pale green with gold flecks. “It’s lovely.”
Onidus kisses the backs of my fingers. “It sees what I do, the pure soul you carry inside this gorgeous body.”
He licks my breasts then blows on them, cooling the surface and tightening my nipples to tight buds. Onidus draws one into his mouth and nibbles it as he slips his tip just inside my heat.
The need to feel him deep climbs to a maddening level. “Damn it, don’t tease me after all this time. I want that glorious golden rod in me.”
Onidus looks up and smirks. “I’m sorry, could you say that again? I was a bit distracted, enjoying how much you’re squirming.”
I scoff. “Oh, that’s it.”
I hook a leg around his and shove him onto his back, then I brace myself and try to sheath myself over him. Onidus catches my hips with his strong hands and puffs out a breath. “You’re not playing fair.”
The delight on his face is infuriating.
“What if I want it slow because I want to remember it?” he asks.
“Well, hurry up.” My core pulses with hunger to be filled with him. “Please.”
Onidus eases his grip, and I slide a little further over his engorged shaft. The way he stretches me simmers into an addicting high, and I desperately need more. But he stops me halfway down.
“Oh, come on.” I wiggle my hips as he holds me over him and tries hard not to smile.
“Solara…”
I look down at him to see he is glowing brighter than I have ever seen without him being in battle.
“Show me your Vibrance.”
“Right now?”
Onidus nods. “Right now.”
Frustrated, I place a hand over my chest and draw my soulfire out for him to see. “Is that enough?”
“Do not move.” Onidus is firm in his words.
I let out an irritated grunt. “Fine.”
He summons his orb, a beautiful, perfect, pulsing sphere of white-gold light. Onidus guides it to mine, until an arc snaps between them. His soulfire ripples with a stronger pulse, and my wild one does the same. But it’s the feeling that washes through me that startles me most.
It is no longer just my belly or my hips that long to feel him, but every inch of my body. My entire existence hums with a new frequency, something more powerful than any desire or craving I’ve had because my lust is everywhere.
“Do you feel it?” Onidus asks. “That…heat?”
“Yes.”
Onidus guides his orb back into his chest, then, with a motion of his hand, guides mine back into me.
“That is the bond I have felt with you since we were on Delsfein, from the moment I first saw you. You do not know how much it destroyed me to watch you get off our ship on Earth, to know my duty was elsewhere, and your family, your life was there. I have been Bonded to you since then. And it destroyed me to not have the power to keep you with me.”
“My home was never Earth,” I tell him. “It has been with you since Delsfein.”
Onidus sits up, braces my cheek, and kisses me. As he does, he releases my hip, and I slide down over his shaft.
He moans into my mouth as I pant from the sheer fullness of him, the way his body lights up, and how he heats inside of me and warms the coldest places in my heart.
I steady myself on his shoulders as he rocks his hips into mine, thrusting harder and deeper. Then he gets up, carries me to the wall, and grinds into me with force.
My skin flushes with brighter light that pulses like his soulfire does.
Onidus smiles. “Now your Vibrance is getting it.”
Then he carries me back to the bed, lays me on my back, and pumps harder as he suckles my breasts and massages my nub. The scorching euphoria he gives me rises until I am almost to the edge. Then he withdraws, flips me over, bends my knees, draws my hips back, and sheathes himself in me.
Onidus hits deep, his shaft rigid, hot with his Vibrance, and pulsing with his bond.
I brace myself on the bed as his cock commands my orgasm, a powerful, shivering bliss that tightens us until I struggle to sense where he ends and I begin.
When I gasp in pleasure, Onidus thrusts with force. “That’s it. Come on.”
His hot seed rushes into me, filling my hips with a gloriously satisfying ecstasy.
A flame licks up from my hand, then my arm. I try to straighten to swat it out, startled by its appearance.
Onidus braces my back to his chest and guides my hand to the bed, bracing my arm with his. He buries himself deep as our bodies ignite—my Afterburn and his. The firestorm heightens my pleasure until I am ablaze and soaring across the stars in white-hot heaven.
He pants against my neck. Onidus’ thrusts and fills me again. “Do not be afraid of the fire, Solara. That is how phoenixes are born—from ash and flame. You, my beautiful, perfect Bond, have always been my phoenix.”
