come together.”
She paled. He knew about her penchant for being bitten, a secret that only one lover had unearthed in the past. “It does seem to make things too fair too soon. Where is the spirit of discovery?”
He chuckled and pressed soft kisses up her neck and eventually made it back to her lips.
She tasted her skin on his lips and she was surprised at the heady nature of her own scent.
Tavik licked her lips for entrance into her mouth and she opened just far enough to let him slip in to taste her.
Sky had not been involved in a clothing-on, heavy-petting session since she was a teen, but when he started to rock against her and the only thing working in her favour was friction, she pursued it with a violence that shocked her and delighted him.
She rocked, pushed and ground her crotch against his, until finally, the blunt force sent her spinning into a sharp orgasm that left her panting and shaking, ready for more.
Tavik groaned and his hips slid against her panties a few more times before he shook and jerked. “I will return in a moment.”
Laughing softly, she watched him carefully make his way to her new lav and as he removed the cum from the inside of his trousers, she sniggered, relieved that she got away lightly. Her body was still humming with energy as it always did after her first orgasm of the night. It was her primary reason to stop masturbating. She had never had the urge to continue after one climax, but her body often demanded it.
She finally realised that if you never started the engine, you didn’t have to take the road trip.
Sighing, Sky lay back on the bedding and looked around at the ceiling. There was a skylight that allowed her to see the swirling cosmos in the distance and the wide windows did the same for the panorama of Home. It really was a nice location. There didn’t seem to be anything that she could possibly need that wasn’t there.
If her sense of the future was correct, there was even a direct link to acquisitions to help her prepare for her law-breaking assignments.
The moment that Tavik left her lav and approached the bed again, she was swamped by a wave of fatigue. She tried to yawn but her body simply started to drop onto the bed.
Tavik cursed, “I knew that I should have let you sleep first, but it obviously wasn’t that brain that was in control.”
She chuckled, but he was covered with bright and black spots as she tried to bring him into focus.
He swiftly folded down the bedding and tucked her neatly between the sheets, holding her tightly against him. “This was a long first few days and your body has not acclimated yet. Give yourself some restful sleep and things will look better in the morning.”
She smiled and looked up at him. “Things look pretty good now.”
His smile was pleased. “I am very happy to hear you say that. While many of the Nameless have casual relationships, I am not one of them. If you don’t wish to proceed any further, tell me now.”
She sighed and snuggled as close as she could get. “I am very happy with the future presented to me by the Orb. You are in it rather frequently and I have no inclination to change my future.”
Her body was humming softly, her nerves alert and full of energy. Despite the enervation, she fell asleep in his arms, looking forward to waking up the same way.
Chapter Nine
A swish and a hiss woke Sky. She blinked and finally examined the room in which she had fallen asleep.
A chute was slowly closing. A box that reminded Sky of the clothes box from the clothing repository was waiting for her.
She sat up and realized that she was alone. Sky fought off a surge of disappointment and slid out of her bed.
The box did indeed contain a change of clothing. Oddly enough, it was another one of Sky’s designs. She had no idea how the Nameless were getting them, as far as Sky knew, they were exclusive to her shop.
A note fluttered to the ground when she lifted the dress from the box.
Dear Sky, I was called
