Page 56 of Monsters in Love: Lost in the Stars
Daisy woke from her sleep unexpectedly, her eyes flying open. Her glow rod sat on the small table beside the bed a short distance away, right where she’d left it, its light illuminating the regal planes of Zil’s beautiful face. She turned slowly in bed, her eyes drifting through the small room. It was clear that the miners were not provided with much space to live, but after sleeping out in the open on hard rocks, she felt remarkably cozy.
More than that, she felt a deep contentment at that moment that startled her. The Valthaan had arrived and were actively hunting them and yet she felt not only contentment snuggled in Zil’s embrace with his big body curled around her in sleep, but genuinely happy. She hadn’t experienced real happiness since Jaren died, and for a moment the feeling was so foreign that she felt a sense of awe. Tipping her head back so that it rested comfortably against Zil’s bicep, she stared at the big alien. In the days she’d spent with him on the planet, she’d never seen him sleep before. He was always the last to sleep and the first to wake and yet, in this moment, she was able to share with him his vulnerability as she lay there with him in his arms.
Lifting her hand, she brushed it over the feathersoft strands that made up the crest of white hair on his head. The texture was just as soft as she had imagined. Her fingers dropped from his hair to his cheek, and she marveled at the texture of his skin that felt almost like hot glass beneath her hands. She trailed her fingers down along his cheekbone to his jaw as she traced the sharply defined angles of his face. Even his lips were full and perfectly shaped. Kissable lips.
She leaned in a little closer, entranced and seduced by the sweet smell that reminded her of vanilla, cinnamon, and cardamom wafting from him. Was it coming from his breath or the pores of his skin? She couldn’t tell… but it was intoxicating. She looked up from his lips and froze, her breath catching at the sight of his red eyes focused on her. He was awake and watching her! She didn’t move but remained in place, her eyes fastened on his. Her tongue swiped over her bottom lip and she watched as his gaze tracked the motion, his pupils expanding with unmistakable interest. Moving in slowly, she paused with just the tiniest distance between their lips, just close enough for their breath to freely mingle. Very gently she closed the distance briefly, her lips brushing softly against his mouth.
A ragged moan tore through him, and before she could pull away Zil’s big hand cupped her head, his other arm winding around her waist as he flattened her to him and claimed her mouth with a sweep of his tongue. Daisy’s eyes widened in surprise but then closed with pleasure as his tongue tangled with hers in drugging kisses. This was so unlike the times he had fed her that she didn’t know how she might have ever assumed that they would be similar or anywhere near the same. His mouth did tantalizing things to her senses as he nibbled her lips and licked inside of them, and a trace of his honey clung to her lips with the passage of his tongue. The flavor had a headiness that she hadn’t tasted on him before, one so indescribable and addictive that she plundered his mouth, sucking and licking at his tongue with erotic little teases to work out more of its illicit flavor unintended for feeding.
Zil growled in reaction, his pleasure announced not only by that rough sound but by his fervent hold on her. Their bodies rolled and arched against each other, and she gasped against his mouth at the pleasure that quickly ignited and rose to a fever pitch in a matter of moments. It didn’t seem possible to want or need someone so much, but her craving for him seemed to have no end as she clung to him and writhed, her body rubbing shamelessly on him as he pressed tightly against her.
He held her against him, his mouth wildly plundering hers so that she had to sip tiny gasps of air whenever his lips briefly parted with hers. His massive Daranthiki body shifted and then he rolled her beneath him, lifting his head and breaking their kiss so that he could stare down at her with glowing red eyes.
She stared up at him, searching his eyes as his heat bore down on her with all his hunger and something more desperate, an overwhelming need that she understood—loneliness. She brushed her fingers lightly through his hair and watched as his eyes slitted with obvious pleasure. He was a cybernetic legionnaire, created to fight and die for Daranthaknar. Although she had known many stolen moments and empty touches, how long had it been since he had known the simple pleasure of touch at all? Although he was a mercenary now, he was still a symbol of power and terror for many.
“Is Zil your full name?”
He hesitated, the fierce glow of his eyes dimming slightly. “A legionnaire is not permitted access to their civilian name. It is no longer legally mine, but for you,” he leaned his, his breath caressed her ear as he whispered, “Zilshuwandu Kazheea.”
He lifted his head again to meet her eyes, and she nodded. “Thank you,” she whispered.
Zil studied her for a moment, and his lashes fluttered as they lowered partially over his eyes as the fire within them burned through her. His tail slid along her leg, the tip curling around her ankle as he lowered his head once more, the heat of his lips capturing hers. His flavor flooded her mouth anew, his scent filling her with every breath. She moaned hungrily against his mouth and his tongue ceased tangling and dancing with hers and slid deeper into her mouth as it did when feeding her. Without thought, she latched onto it immediately and sucked deeply on it, drawing a moan from the male covering her body with his. His honey rushed into her mouth and the flavor was richer and more intense this time. Whatever chemicals had changed within it, it had an immediate reaction on her as it sent heat dropping quickly into her belly, her arousal blooming so intensely that she trembled, and her cunt gushed hot and wet between her thighs.
Zil’s growl vibrated between them and his tail began to rub along her leg. His big body shifted, and his hands moved between them so that he quickly shucked his armored uniform before unsealing the connectors that ran down her flight suit and the TRS beneath it. His mouth broke from her and she protested as his tongue withdrew, but he hushed her with a soft hiss.
“Patience,” he whispered. “I do not wish to accidentally harm you.” His gaze found hers and he hesitated, removing his hands from her clothing. “Are you certain of this, Daisy?”
There was so much vulnerable uncertainty in his voice that her heart ached for him. The cold an indifferent droidlike male was a thing of the past as he had slowly thawed around her, and now she only saw the caring male whom she had come to know and adore.
She nodded. “I’m certain. For once in my life, I want to have something for myself.”
His mouth curled and he nodded, his claws returning the seal on her flight suit. “I cannot bear you completely, little flower,” he whispered with an odd catch in his voice. “It is too cold for your human flesh. My body will warm you, however, so that you will not suffer from minimal exposure.”
She eagerly nodded again and arched as his knuckles brushed her breasts as they worked their way down opening the front of her flight suit. Her need grew heavier within her, and she gasped at the brush of his hands when they descended again to open her TRS so that she was unfastened from top to her crotch, her entire cunt exposed by the unique design of the suits to handle her bodily needs. Zil hissed as his eyes lingered on her wet sex and his body shuddered with his desire. Her nipples tightened painfully with the cold, and she whimpered even as the bite of pain made her need deepen further.
He was right—it was very cold within the cave.
Zil’s gaze flew to hers and he covered her body with his, bringing back its blessed warmth as he grimaced apologetically. His hands brushed the side of her face as he pecked a kiss to her lips.
“Apologies. I became distracted.” He groaned softly and shifted so that she felt the intense heat of his cock rubbing between her thighs. It was large and full and seemed to have spiny protrusions not unlike the natural armor on his arms, but different in that they were softer and more flexible. They rubbed against the mouth of her sex and clit with a startling pleasure. “I wish to drink deeply of that sweetness between your legs,” he admitted in a hushed voice and his hand drifted between them, his fingers parting and petting her sex so that his fingers and cock both rubbed against her. “When the time comes for me to taste it, I shall indulge fully.”
A tiny moan slipped from her when she meant to whisper her agreement, but it seemed that it was all he wanted and needed because his mouth was on hers again, his tongue tangling in a brief dance with hers before driving deeper so she could latch onto it again.
Daisy sucked on it ravenously as his growls of pleasure vibrated against her mouth and his sweetness flooded her with every pull on his tongue. Her nipples tingled and furled tightly with the heat coursing through her. His hand left her slick sex to grip her leg. She could not feel the dampness of his fingers through the TRS, but she did feel the pressure of his fingers and claws and the weight of his tail shifting along her leg in long strokes as he seemed to hold her to him with it. Zil’s hips shifted then, and the flared tip of his cock brushed her entrance. Four spines spread outward on its head, and they seemed to work to part the folds of her sex, opening her up as he pressed forward, the spines rubbing in a way that made her channel convulse around him as he slowly sank into her.
Zil growled his pleasure, and she felt a small spurt of liquid heat release within her. Her sex rippled hard with an orgasm in reaction to the heat, and the Daranthiki drove his hips forward as the strange head of his cock sank deep and fast until he was sheathed completely. There was a sharp prick deep within her, like being stung by a bee, as the head of his sex pressed snugly against the mouth of her womb—and then euphoria as a wave of hot pleasure swept through her. Never had Daisy felt so full or so much pleasure. With his tongue deep in her mouth, releasing its nectar down her throat, and his cock buried completely inside of her, she couldn’t even hold off the way her body continued to pulse and ripple. Although not as intense as the orgasm itself, it was like a sustained mini orgasm, as if her body were attempting to milk him until he spilled every drop that he had into her cunt even as his honey flowed into her mouth.
He quivered over her and drew his hips back, dragging his cock exquisitely along the walls of her channel. Something felt different, however, than sex as she usually experienced it. The pressure was still anchored on her womb. It was like there were two parts of his sex, an outer spiny part and the phallus within it that drew back and plunged, its movements causing ripples that sent fissures of pleasure through her that only grew more intense when he rocked forward again, the inner part of the head pressing firmly against her depths once more.
Daisy sucked harder on his tongue, shivers racing over her skin as his hips rocked against hers, the inner structure of his cock withdrawing and plunging faster and harder. She arched against him, lifting her hips to meet each thrust, their cries mingling between their mouths as she continued to ravenously drink his honey. His tail curled higher on her leg, drawing it up until his hand latched onto her calf and wrapped her leg around his hip, shifting the angle of his thrusts and sending a spark of fire through her blood. Her channel convulsed again, releasing some of the heat from the coil of pleasure tightening within her core, and she cried out her pleasure into his mouth as the outer shell of his cock flexed sharply in response to her clutching cunt to release another hot spray of his cum against her womb.
She trembled at the potency of his release. Zil was thrusting wildly now, his inner cock shuttling in and out, his growl an endless vibration. His honey was growing richer and deeper in flavor and her blood sang with whatever chemicals it hit her system with. His claws sank deeper into the material covering her thigh and hip, and she felt the brush of his tail tip against the bottom of her cunt. It swiped along the wetness seeping from her sex, dragging all along her vulva. The tip flexed and slapped against her clit so that inner muscles tightened in reaction, making them both moan as her pussy flooded with a new release that quaked through her.
His tail drove her to a point of madness, and she became raw and lost in the exquisite bliss pouring through her until another fissure of pleasure broke within her, releasing another sharp wave of release sweeping through her. She was still shivering in reaction when his tail slid lower. The tip prodded her ass, and she moaned as she looped her other legs over his hip too. Zil’s growl crackled between them and then his tail was sinking into her, rocking in and out as his hips snapped with a primal rhythm, catching her and sweeping her up into the madness as they rode it higher and higher.
Filled in every way she could possibly filled, ecstasy ignited her blood in golden flames, sending pleasure to every part of her body, until suddenly the tension snapped and she screamed with the full force of her orgasm blasting through her. It consumed her so completely that Zil’s roar sounded distant, but she felt the hard pulse and throb of his cock as it pumped his release into her womb, splash after splash of his seed stretching her orgasm into an infinite wave of bliss.
She didn’t know when she finally came down, only that when she became aware once more, she moaned as Zil dragged his cock free from her channel, its spines dragging delightfully. His white skin had a faint lavender flush to it, and he quivered as he pulled back, his tongue slipping from between her lips at the same time. He gasped and shook when he finally sank to the bed beside her. He didn’t even seem to be altogether aware of his actions as he gathered her to his chest so that she was once more pressed warmly to him as he wrapped his arm around her, holding her close to him. His tail was once more locked firmly around her leg.
Spent and cozy within the cocoon of warmth he provided for her as he dragged the blanket up around them, Daisy drifted off in the best sleep she’d ever experienced. Usually she required tranqs to help her sleep at night and it was only utter exhaustion that had her crashing since arriving planetside. But there, in Zil’s arms, a calm quiet filled her with peace and pleasure as she sank gratefully into an easy sleep.
