Petr's Mate by April Zyon Read Free Book Online

shook his head. “I must say, Doctor Henry, that you are looking good for
your advanced years. I’ve never been with an older woman before.” They swung around another
corner and he picked up the pace to push her more. “The facility he is in has
strict instructions, Samantha. We take such individuals and the potential
threat they pose seriously.”
    “Good.”
She felt the relief at his words. “And shush it, you young pup you. Just
because I’m an old woman doesn’t mean that I won’t get after you, mister man, ” she muttered. She pulled ahead of
Petr just a bit and looked back at him. “Come on, youngun ,
I shouldn’t be able to outrun you at my advanced age.”
    “Even
in my society those are fighting words. I’ve tried to be considerate, given
your advanced years, but now.” He drew up next to her and soon pulled ahead, making use of
his longer legs. “Are you coming, Samantha?” he called a moment before he
disappeared around a corner.
    She
laughed at that and started to run just a bit faster. “No fair, you are
seriously way too tall for me to catch up.” Although she would try. She put on
another burst of speed in her run. They turned another corner and she had to
pull up fast, going down and sliding across the decking. “Whoa, sorry about that, ” she said with a laugh to the man that
had just stepped out of a room with a tray.
    Petr
appeared around the young man and, reaching down, he hauled her up to her feet. He shot the officer a look
that had him taking off up the corridor quickly. Shaking his head, Petr turned
his focus on her. “Are you hurt, Samantha?” She could hear the concern in his
voice as he slid his hands gently over her arms to catch her hands and lift
them to look at her palms.
    “No,
I’m not hurt.” She was grinning as she spoke. She moved into his touch and
wrapped her arms around his waist. “Have I ever mentioned to you just how much
I love when you touch me?” She rubbed her cheek to his cheek and held on to him. It had
been two weeks and they still hadn’t been intimate, and she was ready. At first
she hadn’t been because she was trying to get her brains wrapped around
everything she was doing. Then she had gotten her period, of all things. “I
think you should run your hands over my whole body while we are in the showers
after our run. Thoughts?”
    “An interesting proposition.
Should we attempt such a thing, given your age? I’d hate to have to contact
medical because you have broken a hip. How would the crew look at me then?” His
lips were twitching again, a sure sign he was teasing her. Petr slid his hands
down to cup her ass, drawing her in closer to his body. “We haven ’ t had our allotted water
showers, so I think we could have one if you’d prefer it to the sonic
showering.”
    She
snorted in laughter and wrapped a leg around his thigh. She ran her hands down
his chest. “I don’t think we have to worry about me breaking a hip.” She rubbed
her body against his. “I need you. God so much. You have no idea just how much
I want you right now. It’s taking every single ounce of my willpower not to
jump you right now and start to strip you naked and to hell with what anyone
anywhere might see. I’m horny, but it’s more than that. I am desperate for you to be inside of me.”
    His
hands flexed on her ass. Then he lifted her so Sam was able to wrap her legs
around his waist. “Behave until we’re in our quarters. I’m willing to relax
many things on this ship, but allowing my crew to see you naked is not one of
those. You are mine, Samantha Henry.” Turning, he took long strides down the
corridor. She knew he was heading for one of the lifts to get them back to the
level where their quarters were.
    “And
you are mine, Petr van Jahnsen . No more holding
back?” she asked against his ear. “No more keeping ourselves dressed when we
sleep?” She was speaking quietly to him and him alone. “We will do this whole
bond that you were
