didn’t make her wait. Rimeer slid in next to her and gathered her in his arms. They both sighed happily.
“I have to tell you, in the last month, I never thought that this would happen, though I did dream of it.”
Ceelie looked up at him in shock. “I thought that I was the only one dreaming of some quiet time with you. I mean I enjoyed everything we have done and everywhere we have done it, but this was what I needed.”
He cuddled her tightly against him, stroking his hands up and down her spine.
His erection was still between them, but he showed no inclination to use it and that was fine with her, though her body whined a little in disappointment.
The afternoon light spilled over them as their breathing synched and they fell into a light sleep.
As evening fell, Ceelie woke in Rimeer’s arms. She turned so that her back was against his chest and snuggled in tight. One of his hands cupped her breast and he nuzzled the joint between neck and shoulder. With his thigh, he lifted her upper leg and his cock slid against her wet folds.
He rocked his hips slowly against her, working into her slowly and deliberately.
The golden haze of pleasure rippled over her as they rocked lazily together. There was no frenzy, no intensity, no urgency, only the pleasure of two bodies working together in harmony.
They shifted position and she rode him until his face took on an expression she knew very well. Laughter welled as he lifted her, flipped her and brought her to her hands and knees.
He thrust back into her, pounding hard and fast until she bucked back and screamed as light surrounded her in a bright, burning wave. He shouted and slammed against her, grinding his hips to her buttocks as his cock jetted wave after wave of cum into her.
When their bodies stilled and their breathing returned to normal, they curled together, still joined and got a good night’s rest.
Chapter Nine
The ships came as a bit of a surprise to Ceelie. She had gotten used to the low-tech that was the standard on Hassoi. Her com unit was in her home, just as she had designed it and since she knew that none of the folk had been in the house during construction, it did make her rather curious as to who had installed it.
Three shuttles came down and landed in the clearing, each disgorging a representative of a different species or gender.
Ceelie and Rimeer walked toward the newcomers together.
Ceelie was surprised to see two Sector Guard uniforms with the third male. “Greetings, visitors.”
The woman in the uniform stood near the male and the connection between them was almost visible. “I am Counsel, this is Contract and over there is Representative Tau of the Tival. We have come to help the process along.”
Rimeer kept an arm loosely around Ceelie’s waist. “Please, come with us to the negotiation area. Food has been prepared.”
They waved their guests toward the tables and chairs that had been set up under the canopy.
The Tival Representative kept staring at Ceelie and she looked at him with Hassoi in her eyes. “You are staring, Representative Tau.”
He swallowed nervously. “I was told that you harboured ill will toward my people.”
She laughed. “It was Keeln that I did not like. He considers his employees to be property. As a Terran, I am no one’s property.”
Tau looked to Rimeer. “Would you agree with that statement, Avatar?”
Rimeer chuckled. “Ceelie and I are bond mates. I am hers as she is mine. It is an equitable arrangement.”
Counsel and Contract smiled at each other.
Ceelie stifled a laugh. She knew all about the partners of the Sector Guard. Several Terrans were members of the Guard and a bonding was part of their partnerships.
Counsel smiled at Ceelie, “May I walk with you? I would like a moment alone.”
Ceelie pressed a kiss to Rimeer’s cheek. “You boys play nice.”
She gestured to Counsel and she started to walk along the edge of the woods.
Counsel smiled at her, her Wyoran features
