He broke the kiss. “Kayla, you’re still injured.”
“Shut up, Carl.” She pushed him back on her bed. She didn’t want words right now. She needed to just… feel. Kayla kissed his neck and nipped at his earlobe while his hands roamed up her thighs toward her waist. She sat up and ran her fingers lightly over his chest before reaching down and pulling her shirt over her head. Tossing it across the room, she looked down at him intently, waiting to see if he would accept what she offered.
Carl took a deep breath as he looked up at her partially nude body. She was breathtakingly beautiful. Her dark hair fell around her face, and her green eyes were full of desire. His hands wandered from her slim waist up toward her breasts. Her skin was incredibly soft, and the scent of her was intoxicating.
“Kayla,” he murmured, not wanting to break the moment but needing to say the words. “I’m a trader. Are you sure about this?”
She paused for a moment, and Carl started to wonder if she’d changed her mind. He was about to reach for her shirt when she said, “Just tell me you can’t get me pregnant.”
His eyes widened, and he shook his head. Of course she’d worry about such a thing. A pregnancy for a ruin rat could be disastrous. “OmniLab carefully controls procreation so we can maintain our resource levels. We’re all required to—”
“I don’t need a birth control lesson, Carl,” she interrupted. As she tugged on his shirt, he sat up to help her remove it. Kayla threw it on the floor and turned to him with a look of fierce determination. “And yes, I’m sure. I’ll face whatever comes. I don’t want to wait. I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow or the next day, but right now, this is what I need. I need to feel alive.”
Carl stared at her, powerless to refuse her. She was offering a large part of herself to him, and selfishly, he wanted to take it. He couldn’t remember ever wanting someone the way he wanted her.
She ran her fingers across his chest, and he pulled her close to him. When his mouth found hers again, he flipped her over, pinning her to the bed. As she wrapped her legs around him, he was struck by the intense need to be inside her.
This woman drove him to the edge of sanity. Her smell surrounded him, intoxicating him, and driving him to possess her. He forced himself to slow down and bent down to take one of her nipples into his mouth. Kayla gasped as he flicked his tongue against her nipple and suckled gently.
“Carl. I want… I need…”
“Shh. I know.”
He pulled off her shorts with nimble fingers while his mouth teased her navel. When he reached the soft mound of dark curls, he gently spread her open and tasted her sweetness. Kayla gasped, her hands fisted in the blankets.
Finding the sensitive nodule above her opening, Carl gently worked it with his tongue. When she cried out, shuddering in release, he moved back up to cover her body with his. Unhooking his pants and slipping them off, he positioned himself against her and paused.
“Kayla, look at me.”
Her eyes fluttered open, still dazed from her orgasm. He held her gaze as he began to push inside her, not stopping until he was fully seated within her. Kayla gasped, her fingers digging into his shoulders, pulling him toward her.
She was so tight and hot, it took all of his control not to lose himself completely. He forced himself to move slowly inside her, trying to give her time to get used to him.
Carl shifted her slightly and found the sensitive nub again with his fingers. He rubbed against it while she clung to him. His rhythm increased as her body responded to his. Feeling her writhing beneath him with her soft cries in his ears was a heady combination.
When she wrapped her legs around him again and whimpered in his ear, Carl felt as though he was already lost. He plunged into her depths without abandon as she met him stroke for stroke. When Kayla trembled with her release a second time, he couldn’t hold back anymore. He pushed into her once more and exploded inside her.
Collapsing on top of her, Carl buried his face in her hair. After a moment, he became dimly aware he was probably crushing her. He rolled over to give her a chance to breathe and looked down at her.
Her skin was flushed from their lovemaking, and she had a small smile on her face. Her eyes were closed, and he was struck once again by how stunning she was. Bending down to kiss her softly, she wrapped her arms around him in response.
He felt a faint stirring inside him already and was mildly surprised at the reaction she evoked from him. “Kayla?”
“Hmm?” she replied, lazily opening her eyes.
Carl propped himself up on his elbow, worried he’d been too rough. In the heat of the moment, he’d forgotten about her injuries. “Are you all right?”
She lifted her hand to touch his face and murmured, “Mmhmm. I’m better than all right. I feel wonderful.”
Carl lightly brushed her hair out of her face and kissed her forehead. “Get some rest, sweetheart.”
Kayla closed her eyes and snuggled against him. He wrapped his arm around her and held her while she slept.
Several hours later, Kayla woke up with Carl’s arm draped over her. Warm and content, she cuddled up next to him and watched him sleep. He normally kept his dark hair pulled back in a ponytail, but it fell loose around his face while he slept. She definitely preferred it down. Part of her was surprised he’d stayed, but she was secretly pleased. He looks so relaxed and peaceful. She lightly traced her fingers along the contours of his face.
His brown eyes opened, and she offered him a smile. He pulled her closer, and she kissed his neck, teasing the sensitive areas with her tongue. She felt him shiver, and she hid a smile against his skin, loving the effect she had on him.
Continuing to kiss his neck, she moved down toward his chest, taking her time to tease him along the way with small flicks of her tongue. Seeming impatient, his hands found her waist, and he pulled her on top of him. His voice was husky in her ear. “Your kisses are driving me crazy.”
Resisting the urge to smirk, Kayla continued her tactile exploration with her hands and lips. He’d been driving her crazy since the moment she’d met him. If she could return the favor through sensual torture, she’d somehow manage to suffer through it. Especially if the benefits were as delicious as the previous night.
Shifting so she was straddling him, Kayla ran her fingers down the course of his firm chest, delighting in his reaction. As though unable to help himself, Carl reached up to cup her breasts, rubbing his thumbs against the hardened buds. When he sat up to take one of her nipples into his mouth, the pull went straight to her core. All reasoned thought deserted her, and she ran her fingers through his hair, pulling him close to her. To hell with sensual torture. She wanted this man, now as much as ever.
Carl’s commlink flashed and beeped, interrupting them. Kayla felt a moment of annoyance but ignored the call, going back to kissing his shoulder. She ran her hands down his muscular arms, and he cursed when the commlink beeped again. Reaching over and glancing at the communication device, he hit the button to enable audio. “What is it?”
Cruncher’s voice came over the com. “Sorry to bother you this early, Boss, but we’ve got two riders approaching.”
“Thanks.” He cut off the call with a sigh.
Kayla sat back. “You have to go?”
He cupped her face and kissed her deeply. She melted into his embrace, disappointed when he pulled away.
“I can’t tell you how much I wish I didn’t, but Cruncher wouldn’t have called me if it wasn’t important.”
She slid off his lap. He stood and grabbed his clothes off the floor.
“Do you know who it is?”
Pulling on his clothes, Carl tied his hair back from his face. “I’m not sure, but I suspect it’s the representatives from OmniLab.”
Kayla groaned. “So the impressive Omnis actually decided to come down from their lofty towers and slum it with the rest of us.”
He held out his hand for her and helped her up. Pulling her close once more, he lowered his mouth to hers. “I’d rather be here right now than anywhere near those lofty towers.”
Her stomach fluttered at his words, and she smiled at him. Grabbing her shirt off the floor, she pulled it over her head. “I’m going to go take a
