Mine. The word rose unbidden in his mind and he had to fight to push it aside. He wasn’t supposed to be claiming her as his mate—he was supposed to be trying to get the damn Drusinian cord off her.
Think, Keer, why is it not coming off? V said as soon as all traces of the love honey were eradicated… Wait a minute. All traces. As in every single bit. As in, not just in her pussy but everywhere. And since I’ve licked and sucked every inch of her skin where the cord was and came in and on her pussy, that means…
“Tabitha,” he said, looking into her eyes and making his voice stern. “Did V put the love honey anywhere else? Inside you, I mean?”
He saw her eyes widen in comprehension and then flicker down to where his cock was hard against his belly once again.
“Uh, do you mean…?”
“Your ass. Did he squirt any of the honey inside you there?” Keer let one finger travel down from her pussy to the tight rosebud entrance below. To his surprise, Tabitha nearly jumped out of her skin.
“Well, I…I mean…no.” She sat up suddenly and began to scoot off the bed. “No, he didn’t. Well, this obviously isn’t going to work so I guess I’d better go now. Thanks for trying, Sir.”
“Wait a minute.” Keer caught her arm and dragged her back just as she was about to bolt. “You’re lying to me,” he accused, studying the guilty look on her beautiful face. “He did put the love honey in you there, didn’t he?”
“So what if he did?” Her old defiance was back, coupled with a flash of fear. “That doesn’t mean you have to…to do anything about it.”
Keer blew out a breath impatiently. “Of course I do. If we don’t get the knots off you now, you’ll have to live with them the rest of your life.”
“Well, that’s too bad, isn’t it?” She tugged on the arm he was holding, trying to break free. “I guess I’ll manage somehow.”
“No, you won’t.” Keer drew her back and made her sit on the bed beside him. “I’m sorry, Tabitha but I’m going to have to fuck you one more time.”
“No, please!” Her eyes widened with full-blown terror. “Look, I’ve never been able to take a normal-sized man there. I know because I tried once—it hurts. And that was with a guy who wasn’t even half your size.”
Keer felt his heart contract but he knew he had to be firm. “I’ll be gentle.”
Her eyes narrowed in disbelief. “You said that before and look what happened. I’ve never been fucked like that—ever. It was a rough ride and I’m sorry, I just don’t think I’m up to it again. Especially not…not there.”
She’s afraid of me. Afraid I’ll break my word. And who could blame her after the way I’ve treated her? After I whipped her in the slave market and fucked her so brutally? Part of him wanted to let her go at once, to apologize and beg her to understand how he felt—how she made him feel too much. So much it was hard to control himself. But Keer knew he couldn’t do that. If he let her go he’d be doing her a grave disservice—condemning her to a life of sexual bondage to the knots. And if he tried to explain that she drove him over the edge because he loved her, he would only make her more uncomfortable—would only make a bad situation worse. He could only do what she was begging him not to—he had to put his thick cock deep in her ass and come one more time. Whether she wanted him to or not.
“I’m sorry, Tabitha,” he said, turning her over and pushing a pillow under her stomach to elevate her. “But I can’t let your fear keep you in bondage. I have to do this. Have to fuck you.”
Tabitha watched the thoughts race across his face and she knew the exact moment when he decided to ignore her pleas and fuck her in the ass anyway. God, what was she going to do? How could she stop him?
When he flipped her over onto her stomach and shoved a pillow under her to raise her up, she realized that there was no stopping him. She wasn’t going to be able to keep him from fucking her ass any more than she’d been able to stop him from fucking her pussy. She was stuck—trapped.
Fear rose in her throat as she remembered the one time she’d tried this. The stretching pain had been so immediate, so intense, that she’d called a halt to it before the man she’d been making love with had even gotten the head of his shaft inside her. And now Captain Keer was proposing to put his entire thick length into her? God, this was going to be torture!
