Oh, shut up, he grunted as he felt his body react to his thoughts. He was going to go claim his mate over and over again until she couldn't think to be upset anymore. Then, he would tell her about Viper going for her family. That should make her forgive him once and for all. With the hope that this plan worked, he stood up and strode determinedly out the door heading for his living quarters and Riley.
Riley groaned as waves of heat flared inside her. Her skin tingled where it touched the hot flesh rubbing against it. She was having the most delicious dream. A hiss escaped her as sharp teeth nipped at first one nipple, then the other until both throbbed and ached for more. Her legs fell apart at the first tug on her neatly trimmed silk curls. A loud cry burst from her as thick fingers rubbed her clit, making her slick and swollen with their determined search.
"Vox," she whispered sleepily.
"Yes, my fiery little mate," Vox replied as he ran his lips down over her softly rounded belly. "You were made for loving, Riley" he groaned as he tugged on the silken curls. "I love touching you and how responsive you are to me."
"That feels so good," she moaned as she bit her lip as sharp waves of heat flooded her. "You better not stop if you want to live."
Vox chuckled as he gently opened her to his lips, nipping at her engorged clitoris and purring as her body reacted to his with undeniable passion.
"I wouldn't even think of it," he responded huskily as her scent overwhelmed him and his cat.
He was going to have to tell her before too much longer about the changes occurring within her body. His cat could not wait much longer. He buried his tongue inside her, lapping at the delicious moisture as it flowed over it. A loud purr escaped him as his cat responded to his mate being close. He moaned when Riley lifted her legs and draped them over his shoulders, pulling him closer. Her body moved in increasing agitation as she came closer to her climax, and he increased the pressure, wanting to taste her release.
He slid his hands under the soft flesh of her ass and lifted her so he could drink deeper from her flowing well. Her loud cries told him she was enjoying what he was doing. He spread his fingers out, squeezing her ass as he nipped her swollen nub with his sharp teeth and was rewarded when her body exploded over his tongue.
"Yes!" she hissed out, bunching the covers of the bed in her fisted hands. "Oh, yes!" she moaned, shuddering and letting her legs fall weakly to the mattress.
He chuckled as he released her, moving quickly to sit back and sliding his hands under her. "My turn," he growled out in excitement.
He flipped her over so fast she didn't have time to protest. Gripping her around the waist, he lifted her at the same time as he aligned his thick, hard cock with her dripping channel. He pulled her back toward him and watched as his cock disappeared slowly inside her, his thumbs caressing the sweet globes of her ass. He drew in a shuddering breath at the beauty of the sight, his hands tightening on her hips to hold her still so he could control the pace.
"Oh, God!" Riley breathed out, throwing her head back at the feeling of fullness invading her body.
"Oh, Vox!" he growled in response, watching her beautiful curls flow along the delicate curve of her back.
Streaks of swirling black suddenly appeared, teasing him and his cat with what she would look like in her cat form. He held his breath, pushing in and out of her body slowly, trying to draw more of her cat to the surface without having her shift. He groaned as the swirls danced to the rhythm of his thrusts. Never in his life had he ever seen anything more breathtaking. His eyes jerked up to Riley's when she glanced over her shoulder at him as he mounted her with strong, swift strokes. Her eyes had changed slightly, becoming more tilted at the corners and the blue was swirled with darker blues and golden yellows. Her pupils were more elongated, as well. He felt the pull of her gaze as he increased the speed of his claiming. He was drowning in the beauty of them as much as in the feel of her body wrapped around his. The combination was too much for the fragile hold he had on his control.
"Riley!" he roared as his body jerked suddenly, exploding inside her with such force he fell forward over her back in gasping pants. "Oh gods, Riley, I need you."
Riley's body clenched around his as she felt his cock swell and lock deep inside her. She didn't think she would ever get used to the erotic feeling of being locked as one with him. Her vaginal channel rippled with shockwaves as her orgasm wrapped around his cock, pulling him deeper into her in response to his own powerful one. Her head fell to the bed as she struggled to catch her breath and not collapse under him. She wouldn't have been able to anyway with the way he was gripping on her hips as if he was grasping a lifeline.
The next morning she realized one thing, if she thought he would make love to her and leave, she had been sadly mistaken. They had both fallen into a deep sleep after the third time he took her, this time with her sitting on his lap while he pounded into her and sucked on her breasts until she was totally mindless. Even then, he had only slept for a few hours before he woke her again loving her over and over in positions she turned hot just thinking about. He continued his systematic attack throughout the night, barely letting her fall asleep before he woke her to start all over again. She had no idea how he could function since she was a melted puddle against the sheets, but once he started touching her, she didn't care how he did it, just that he didn't stop.
"You are going to be the death of me," she moaned as she felt his hand moving over her hip again. "If I could bottle whatever you have inside you and sell it back home I'd be a billionaire within a week!"
Vox's hand tightened on her hip at her mention of her home world. "I need you to talk to Viper. He will be going to your world."
Riley jerked in surprise and rose up to look at Vox with her mouth hanging open. "When do we leave? How long will it take? Oh my God, I didn't think I would ever make it home again! I'll have to go see my Grandma Pearl and Tina. I won't make the mistake this time of not telling them how much I love them and that I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world, no matter what I normally tell them. Oh!" She released her pent-up breath and sat up, uncaring of the sheets that dropped to her lap showing all the love bites that Vox had left against their creamy flesh. "I have to get the paperwork to the proper authorities about my ex-boss and his dad too! How long did you say it would take for us to get there?" she asked, impatiently pushing her wild curls out of her face.
Vox's mouth pulled into a straight line as he realized Riley misunderstood his explanation. "Riley, I said Viper is going, not you. You will be returning to Sarafin with me. Viper will transfer to the Horizon and travel with Creon and his mate back to your world."
"What the hell are you talking about?" she demanded, glaring down at him where he lay watching her with a deep frown. "If he is going there is no reason I can't tag along. I never unpacked, and I can be in and out of the shower in minutes and ready to go."
Vox's hands whipped up to grip Riley's upper arms in a fierce hold. "You think to leave me after the last few hours?" he asked in disbelief. "I have chosen you as my queen! You are my mate!"
Riley frowned, pressing her hands against his chest in confusion. "I thought you were going too. Besides, I never said I wanted to be a queen! Hell, I couldn't even get a date to the prom, what in the hell makes you think I'm queen material? Why are you sending Viper to Earth if not to take me back?"
Vox fought the urge to wrap his hands around Riley's neck instead of her arms. "To get your Grandma Pearl and Tina, of course. You said you missed them. I will bring them to you so you won't. I need you to explain to Viper what he needs to know so he can return with them," he said with a frustrated release of his breath.
Riley's mouth dropped open again, but this time instead of excitement in her eyes, there was horror in them. "Are you nuts?!" she screeched.
Chapter 18
Vox ground his teeth in frustration as Riley trailed behind him. She had not reacted anything like he expected after he informed her that he was sending Viper to her world to retrieve her family. In fact, the look of horror when he told her made him question his own sanity. He needed to make sure he told Viper to handle Grandma Pearl with extreme caution or he might end up with his head mounted to the wall of her "bar," whatever that was. It wouldn't make a difference, if Riley missed her family it was the only way to solve the situation.
"Grandma will eat Viper alive! Forget the barbecue sauce-think sushi!" Riley insisted as she hurried to keep up with Vox as he headed for the bridge.
