Page 25 of Capture of Capricorn (The Thirteenth Zodiac #3)

Capricorn knew there were many things he should be doing in that moment. Checking on the damage. Arranging the removal of Cetus’ equipment outside Tower’s purview. Hunting any strays that might have escaped.

However, the woman he loved needed him, and in that moment, that mattered more than anything.

Still… “Are you sure? You’ve been through quite the ordeal.”

Zora rolled her eyes. “I’m aware. But you know what dying and then coming back to life makes me?”

“What?”

Her lips curved. “Horny. So, the question is, are you going to give me a hand with that, or am I going to diddle myself?”

When she put it that way… Capricorn tossed her over his shoulder and sprinted for the stairs.

“I can walk,” she exclaimed with a laugh.

His reply? “Not when I’m done with you.” He planned to love her so hard her knees would be weak for hours, maybe even days.

As he took the steps by twos and passed the many levels, he noticed the damage appeared contained to the main floor. Hopefully Tower wouldn’t struggle too much with the repairs. Never before in the history they’d studied had anything like this happened. But at least the good guys—and gal—prevailed.

Actually, if it weren’t for Zora, things would have turned out much differently. And now she was a Zodiac like him. Unheard of, and yet, he approved. Character and honor didn’t need a dick. Would the other warriors accept her, though? They’d better, or he’d be rearranging a few faces.

His apartment remained untouched, and unkempt. Tower must have expended much in the defense because the bed remained unmade from the morning. Not that it mattered, since they’d be mussing it up soon enough. First, though, he carried Zora into the bathroom and set her down.

She blew out a breath. “Damn, baby, that was fast.”

“What can I say? I missed you,” he stated as he turned on the water.

His answer had her snorting. “It’s not even been a day.”

“An eternity,” he lamented as he turned from the shower and began stripping her filthy clothes.

“How did you get here so quick?” she asked.

“By destroying a museum exhibit. But I’d do it again in a heartbeat to reach you.”

“You weren’t hurt?” she murmured as her hands skimmed the flesh of his chest.

“Nah. Adam’s minions never even saw us coming.” He knelt to remove her boots, then yanked off her pants while she steadied herself with hands on his shoulders.

“Tower was doing a great job keeping Crius and his army at bay until he activated that black hole.” She grimaced. “Can’t believe he was insane enough to create one.”

“Can’t believe you told me to shoot you,” he chided in reply as he stood to face her.

“Guess your hero schtick rubbed off on me, because it seemed better for one person to die than a planet full.”

“Not when that person is you,” he grumbled. When Adam had shifted, the bullet took her in the middle of the chest, instead of the shoulder like he’d aimed for.

“It all worked out, though,” she murmured, cupping his cheeks and planting a soft kiss on his lips.

She then moved away from him into the shower and uttered a groan as the hot water hit her skin. “Oh, this is nice.”

“I know what will make it better,” he said, getting in the shower with her and dropping to his knees.

He grabbed hold of her thighs, not that he needed to do anything because she parted them willingly. He leaned close and nuzzled her pubes before blowing against her pussy. She quivered and sighed.

“Tease.”

“It’s called foreplay, Beauty.” And he wouldn’t be rushed.

“Never said I minded, baby.” Her leg draped over his shoulder, giving him even better access. He gave her a long lick, parting her nether lips, lapping at the sweet honey that was his alone. She grabbed at his hair and moaned.

His cue to keep licking but also flicking her clit with his tongue, swiping it back and forth.

“That’s it, baby. Fuck yeah.” Zora liked to talk dirty, her encouragement adding an extra element to their lovemaking that always made him rock hard.

He played with her, alternating licks of her sex with flicks of her nub, eating her until she panted and her fingers clawed at his scalp.

“Give me a finger or two. Finger fuck me,” she demanded, and he obeyed, sliding two digits into her tight channel. Her hips undulated in time to his thrusting.

“That’s it. Oh yeah. I’m gonna come so hard for you,” she promised.

Fuck yeah, she would, and to make sure, while he kept licking and finger fucking, he didn’t let her come. He drew out her pleasure. When he felt her getting too close, he’d pull back and nuzzle her pubes until she complained.

“Baby, I need you.”

“I’ll fuck you when I’m good and ready.” But first, those dark berries of hers beckoned.

He rose and latched onto an erect nipple.

Her back arched, shoving it hard against his mouth.

He opened wide and took as much as he could, his tongue teasing around the nub, sucking and dragging it into an even tauter point.

As he played with her tits, his hands slipped between her legs and stroked across her swollen clit.

“Baby, you better get inside me, or I’m coming without you.”

Like fuck she was. He wrapped an arm around her waist and lifted her before pinning her to the shower wall. The head of his cock poked at her sex, and any intention of sliding in slow evaporated when her legs wrapped around his waist and tightened.

He sank deep into her. Balls deep. And he held himself there for a moment, enjoying the way her channel tightened around him, the hot and moist pulse of her desire the most exquisite sensation.

It only got better as he started to thrust in a slow, in-and-out motion that saw her pussy gripping him tight, trying to keep him sheathed.

But Zora wasn’t in the mood to take it slow. She grabbed hold of his shoulders and wiggled. She managed to ride him, and he held on as she bounced atop his dick, driving him deep, giving him the slick friction he craved.

By now, they both panted, their breaths mingling as they kissed and fucked.

She panted, “I’m going to come, baby. Come with me.”

Hell yeah. His fingers dug into her cheeks as he matched her rhythm. He knew her body well enough to know when she tightened that she was about to climax. When the first ripple hit his cock, he started to grind, knowing the added friction would drive her wild.

“Jeezus!” she screamed as she orgasmed, her pussy clamping down hard on his dick, causing him to erupt.

It took a moment for them both to calm down, not that he minded cradling her against him.

She chuckled. “Mmm. That was good.”

“It always will be,” he promised.

“Is this your way of asking me to go steady?” she teased.

“More than steady. I love you, and I can’t think of anything I’d like more than to spend my life with you.”

She gazed at him with half-lidded eyes and uttered the naughtiest chuckle as she said, “I love you too, even if you’re too pretty and brave. But thankfully your big cock makes up for that.”

His lips quirked. “Glad to know it pleases.”

“Think it’s ready to please me again?”

His dick rose to the challenge.

When they eventually emerged from the shower—skin wrinkled like prunes—they went in search of food and found the whole gang gathered around the large dining table.

Aries, cradling his new daughter in the crook of his arm, beamed as he held up a glass. “You’re just in time for a toast.”

The first of many as they celebrated the birth of Aries’ child., Tower’s quick thinking, and Zora’s bravery and new status.

Things would probably change now that there were thirteen warriors, but Capricorn looked forward to the future so long as he had his beauty by his side.
