DRAKEN

A fter hearing Jamie’s story, I understand her hostility towards the superious . I think if I were in her place I too would feel resentment. I’ve lived among them all my life. I am one. But what she doesn’t realize, is that superious are not good to each other either.

In my goal to become a good leader for my sector I’ve studied the history of how the superious , wrested control of Earth from the homo sapiens, although it was more like we reclaimed what had been ours to begin with.

The lesser evolved humans had made such a mess of the planet with their environmental disasters, wars, genocides and divisiveness on who they decided to worship, it had been on the brink of collapse.

The superious had come to power and put together a system they deemed fair for its own citizens and the homo sapiens as well. It’s how the Registry came to be. But somewhere along the line, corruption had crept into this system as well.

No one knew this as well as I did. In our society, as a superious you either had great wealth or great strength to be important in our society.

What no one talked about were the superious who had neither.

They were seen as no better than the homo sapiens with lower paying positions, usually those in service.

My mother had been a member of the secretary unit in the fortress when my uncle was Sector Leader. An attractive superious female, she’d caught the eye of the Sector Leader’s younger brother and an affair commenced.

I don’t know what my mother’s motive had been to start a relationship with my father, but apparently she pushed to marry my father even though he was betrothed to someone my uncle had deemed a more suitable match.

My father had rebelled and ended up challenging my uncle according to the story I’d been told. The challenge resulted in my father’s death and my mother’s banishment from the fortress.

By then my mother had been pregnant with me but my uncle didn’t give a fuck.

Those early years, we struggled, living among the homo sapiens in old buildings that were on the cusp of collapse. We had no one, because my mother was disowned by her parents for disgracing them with the Sector Leader’s brother.

We lived hand to mouth. In my tenth year, my mother, still an attractive woman gained the attention of a wealthy businessman who said he would take care of her. As long as she abandoned me.

From then on, I basically lived on the streets, learning how to take care of myself, hunting in my beast form, and fighting when necessary.

I lived as an animal for a big chunk of my life to survive.

When I got old enough, I found work where I could.

In my teens, I discovered an underground fighting ring where I could earn money to support myself and live somewhat comfortably.

I went undefeated and gained my reputation as “The Beast”

After one of my matches, I was approached by some officials who served under the Sector Leader. Somehow word about my feat in the underground rings had made it to his radar and he wanted to meet me.

My life had drastically changed since then, but I will never forget those days living hand to mouth, or how my mother had left me without a backward glance.

I don’t know if she’s dead or alive but I’ve never sought her out since she left me. Maybe she’s ashamed of what she’d done, but I’d hardened my heart to everyone since then. The only one I’d let close to me was Braeden.

But now Jamie...

We haven’t known each other long but I have this need to hold and protect her even when I know she hates everything I stand for and have vowed to uphold.

I’m not good with handling my emotions and being around her confuses me, but when I’m not close to her, she’s constantly on my mind.

As I let the water run down my body, I image how good she’d felt in my arms, her scent, her taste. I’m so deep in thought, I image her in the shower with me, slender arms, wrapped around my body.

But then I’m hit with that smell. Even amongst the mist generated by the shower, its strong and makes my body quake.

I turn around and there she is, staring up at me with big brown eyes. It hasn’t been that long since I’d lost control and ravaged her like the animal I’ve been accused of being.

I had wanted to be gentle with her but the second I was inside her warmth, I became a mindless beast. I cup her face in my palms and take in her beauty committing every single one of her delicate features to memory.

I didn’t think it possible to feel so strongly for someone I’d only recently met.

I wanted nothing more than to slam her against the wall and sink myself so deep inside her until I didn’t know where she began and I ended.

“So, beautiful.”

Her small pink tongue darts out and circles her lips.

My cock is so fucking hard, I’m quickly losing the resolve to resist the sweet temptation of her body.

“We can’t, I groan.”

“Why not?” She raises herself on the tip of her toes and places a kiss against my jaw.

“It’s too soon afterwards. Your body needs time to recover.”

She places another kiss on my jaw. “Remember you told me my body will adjust to yours? I’ll be fine.”

She places kisses on my chest and grazes my nipples with her tongue.

“Fuck! Don’t do that Jamie.” I place my hands on her shoulders to push her away but I can’t do it. Jamie seems intent on carrying out her mission of seduction and I lose my will to stop her.

She plants her hands on my chest and runs them over my heated flesh. The feel of her small hands on my body is making it hard for me to think straight.

She traces the scars on my chest with the tip of her finger and I quiver as electric flames shoots through my body. Jamie kisses my chest and then my belly. She keeps going lower until she drops to her knees.

When I realize what she’s about to do, once again I make a weak attempt at pushing her away but she refusing to be deterred.

She grasps my cock, wrapping her fingers around my length and then circling the tip with her tongue.

I clench my fists at my sides because I’m a breath away from losing control

“Jamie, you don’t have to do this,” I groan, even as my head lulls backward and I give in to the pleasure that she administers.

She closes her lips around the head, suckling gently.

A growl rumbles in my throat. It feels so fucking good as she takes me into her mouth, deeper and deeper until the tip hits the back of her throat.

And then with an excruciatingly slow movement, she pulls back until she’s holding just the tip between her lips.

Jamie repeats this motion again, stroking my cock with her hot wet mouth. Each time she swallows me a little deeper. I’m so close to exploding but I want to savor this moment just a little bit longer.

I’ve been with a handful of females in my lifetime, most were there to assuage my baser needs. But nothing had ever felt as good as being with Jamie. Even the skilled companions I’d been with over the years.

With Jamie, everything within me called out to her.

I’m tempted to grab her head and thrust my cock down her throat but I don’t want to hurt her. The longer she goes, the harder it becomes to resist her. I can feel my seed ready to unload.

As tempting as it is to release in her mouth, I want to return to the warmth of her cunt. I push her off of me as gently as I can, but I’m impatient to be inside of her.

“Need you. Now!” I growl as I lift her off her feet, raising her into my arms.

She releases a yelp as I press her against the wall. “Draken,” she cries out.

Hearing the sound of my name on her lips does something to me. It makes me lose the last of my restraint. “Wrap your legs around me,” I command.

She obeys, giving me the access I need to return to her hot wet hole.

I ease into her slowly, savoring her slick velvety walls as they squeeze around me like a tight fist.

She wraps her arms around me as I begin to rut in and out of her with no regard for anything except chasing that ultimate pleasure of being one with Jamie.

“You belong to me, Jamie. Tell me you’re mine.”

“I’m…I’m yours she groans.”

She clenches her muscles around my cock making it damn near impossible to hold back.

I thrust into her as the beast inside of me rages.

Jamie runs her nails down my back awakening something primal within me. I can hold back no longer and I shot my seed deep into her cavern.

“Draken! Draken! Draken!” she chants, clinging to me.

Her pussy milks my cock, taking every drop of my seed.

As I catch my breath, I hold her and let the water beat down on me. “I’m sorry,” I whisper.

“Why are you apologizing?” she asks with her head resting against my chest.

“I lost control again. Your body needs the rest.”

“I’m fine. I wanted it.”

“I don’t know what it is between us but it makes it hard for me to not be with you.”

Jamie didn’t respond, but then again, she didn’t need to. Having her in my arms was enough. I needed this when I’m so full of uncertainty about the state of my sector. All that makes sense right now is having this woman in my arms.

I know we eventually have to get out of the shower but I go on holding her, not wanting to let go.

I bury my face against her neck and tighten my hold on her loving the feel of her skin pressed to mine.

Reluctantly, I press the button the control panel and turn off the water. After stepping out of the shower stall, I carry her to the bed and law her down on top of the covers. I instantly miss the feel of her when she’s no longer in my arm.

Jamie reaches out for me, seeming to miss me as well, but I pull away from the bed. I bend over to give her a kiss on the forehead. “I’ll be back.”

I go into the bathroom to retrieve a towel and I notice a basket by the tub full of lotions and creams, courtesy of Willa. I recognize one of the jars as the special cream that was gifted to me by the Sector 8 Leader. I grab that as well.

Jamie is sitting on the edge of the bed when I return.

“Could you stand up for me?”

She slides off the bed and I proceed to towel her off, taking care to get every inch of her body while being mindful of her back.

Once I’m satisfied with my task. I guide her back to the bed. “On your stomach.”

She groans. “Do I have to?”

“Yes.” I say as I take the jar of cream.

I can see the reluctance in her eyes as she slowly rolls over. Her back is clearly an insecurity for her, but Jamie’s scars are a part of her, and I could never be disgusted by them.

Once she’s on her stomach, I dip my finger in the cool cream and run it into each one of her scars taking as much care as possible.

Jamie sniffs. And then she sniffs again. Is she crying?

She moves her hand to her face to hastily wipes her cheek.

Alarm fills my chest. “Why are you crying?”

“You’re not supposed to be kind to me. This isn’t what I was expecting. I want to hate you.”

Her words confuse and sadden me. It’s understandable, based on what happened to her, that she’d be wary of anyone in authority over her, but it still hurts that she still sees me as the enemy.

“How did you expect me to act toward you?”

She sniff again. “I don’t know…I guess I expected you to treat me no better than Master Fredresk. Like an object you can use and discard whenever you get tired of me. I bet you have several companions on hand, don’t you?”

I raise a brow. “If I didn’t know any better, I would think you were jealous.”

“I’m not jealous,” she quickly retorts making it clear that she was indeed jealous.

“It’s true I have companions, but I haven’t visited either of them long before you arrived.”

“I find that hard to believe.”

“I have no reason to lie to you Jamie. I’m not ashamed of my conduct.”

“Then why haven’t you visited them? Isn’t the point of having a companion to take care of your…er...needs?”

“That’s true but these past months, my sector has been in chaos. I’ve barely been at the fortress. Since you arrived, I’ve had to go to and handle emergencies that keep cropping up. Besides…”

I break off not wanting to admit that I had lose interest in visiting either of the two companions currently assigned to me. They were both beautiful women who were well mannered and satisfying in bed. But the thought of going to either of them after being with Jamie holds no appeal.

It leaves me to wonder what would happen when she does get pregnant and have my child. What then?

And I still have to figure out how to fix the flag on her record.

With so much going on in my sector and my fortress, my biggest dilemma was how could I keep Jamie safe?

Finished with my task of rubbing the cream in her back. I scoot off the bed. “You should probably get some rest. Tomorrow, your new maid will be here. She’ll be new to the fortress so Willa will be with her until she is comfortable with her duties.”

“Are you leaving?”

“I think I should. I have a busy day ahead of me. As will you. It’s my understanding that you haven’t had a proper tour of the fortress since you’ve been here. I’d like for you to familiarize yourself with the structure.”

I slide into my pants and pick up the rest of my clothes on the floor. “Goodnight Jamie.”

“Goodnight, Draken,” she replies softly.

I want to stay with her but I know if I do, I would end up putting her in danger. If people were aware that I’m getting closer to her beyond trying to impregnate her, she could be used against me.

For now I would keep her at a safe distance until I can figure out what’s happening in the fortress.
