Torak had turned down a path leading off to the side of his House. River laid her head on his shoulder enjoying the feel of his warm body and tight arms. She had been afraid she would be too heavy for him to carry her any distance but so far he didn’t act tired at all and she was enjoying being carried too much to suggest walking. It wasn’t until he moved under a canopy of trees that she gasped in surprise. On the other side of the tree was a small pond with flowers and some type of colorful bird swimming in it. Near the bank was a blanket and small basket. Torak walked over to the blanket and gently laid River down onto it.
“I thought you might like to be outside for a little while after being cooped up on the warship for so long and then the medical wing.” Torak said as he sat next to her.
River stared up at Torak. She couldn’t believe he was being so thoughtful. The last few days had been wonderful. He had spent time with her, just talking though she had hoped for more. River nervously licked her lips as she remembered what he had done to her. She remembered the feel of his hands on her, the way his fingers moved over her then in her.
Torak groaned as he watched River. “Little one, you stretch the limits of my control. I am trying to behave myself. I had not planned on making love to you until later.”
River looked at Torak with desire laden eyes. “You plan on making love to me later?” She asked staring at his lips.
“Yes. Now, behave or all my good intentions will be for not. Would you like something to eat?” Torak said trying desperately to distract River. He could feel her desire and it was playing hell with all his good intentions. He had planned on talking with her, learning more about her home world while they ate, then possibly giving her a few chastise kisses while he learned even more about her, then let her sleep for a little while. He had planned everything out carefully.
And all of it went out the window when River suddenly launched herself into his arms closing her lips over his and knocking him backwards. River grabbed Torak’s cheeks nipping at his lips and taking advantage of his mouth when he opened it. River’s tongue slid in through his lips teasing and taunting Torak’s until he groaned and returned her kiss. When Torak’s tongue fought back and slid into River’s she clamped down sucking on it. Torak almost came apart when River began her innocent sucking up and down along his tongue as if it was his cock she was sucking. The image was burned into his brain and all he could do was hang on to the fragile threads of his control which were breaking and shattering at an appalling rate.
Turning over until he had River under him, he slid between her legs hoping to trap her body for a moment until he could get back under control.
“River. River… we have… to stop… now… or I cannot… promise… you I will.” Torak said between kisses. River was kissing him every couple of words making it almost impossible to get a sentence out.
“Don’t …want…too.” River whispered back.
River grabbed the leather tie that held Torak’s hair back pulling it loose until his hair fell forward.
“So beautiful.” River whispered. “Just like you.”
River leaned up and kissed Torak deeply wrapping her arms around his neck and running her hands through his hair scrapping his scalp with her nails.
Torak gave up trying to resist her. He had wanted her from the moment he had seen her on the Tearnat’s warship.
Pulling back, Torak looked down fiercely into River’s eyes, “I am going to claim you, River. You have a choice. I can do it right here, right now. Or, I can take you back to my chambers in the North House and take you in a bed. What is your decision?”
“Here, now.” River whispered.
Torak growled as he pulled back far enough to flip River over onto her stomach. Pulling the laces free on the back of her dress he pulled her up onto her hands and knees so he could pull it down her shoulders. His breath caught as he realized she was not wearing anything beneath the dress.
“Kneel so I can pull the dress from you.” Torak said harshly.
River pulled herself up until she was on her knees, her back still turned towards Torak.
“Stand.” Torak growled pulling River up until she was standing. As she did the gown slid down her body to pool around her feet. She was left with only the knife strapped to her thigh and the one strapped to her forearm. Jo and Star had not brought her any under clothes explaining the women on this world didn’t wear them. Star had been planning on making some to show the guys just how sexy under clothes could be.
