Kat heard him wash himself. The thought of his slick naked body made her belly tingle. She closed her eyes, imagining she would bathe him, sliding her soapy hands all over his wet skin. With that image in her mind, she fell into a deep sleep, totally missing Dykan exiting the bathing cubicle and leaving his quarters.
Chapter 6
“How are our two guests?” Dykan asked Selvin when he entered the bridge.
Selvin shrugged. “They’ve been given some food and blankets. They weren’t too happy about being locked in the brig, though. Especially that Lirid. He demanded we assign the best quarters on the ship to him. Jerk.”
“Well, tough. Then they shouldn’t have snuck aboard my ship.”
“Hard to believe he and the female are related. He is so…” Selvin grimaced. “And she is so…” Selvin licked his lips, which earned him a punch to his shoulder.
“The female is mine, just remember that,” Dykan growled.
Selvin smiled. “I know. But from one friend to another: how’s everything going with the female?” He moved his ridges up and down a few times.
Dykan let out a deep breath. His facial expression was all the information Selvin needed.
“That good?”
Dykan pouted his lips and nodded.
“And you are completely sure you don’t want to share? Not even with friends?”
If looks could kill, Selvin would have been gutted and dismembered.
Selvin laughed. “Message received, Captain. The female is off-limits.”
“When will we arrive at Apron III?” Dykan asked, shifting the attention away from his Kitten.
“So, no more talking about the female, then. Fine by me, Captain. Um, we will arrive in half a rotation.”
“And how long till we arrive at Cassidiri?”
Selvin did some calculations on his datapad. “If we move at top speed, we can reach Cassidiri within two rotations.”
“And if we go a bit slower?” Dykan asked casually. “To preserve fuel.”
Selvin’s eyes went wide, not falling for Dykan’s fuel pretext. “She’s that good?” And the attention was back on the female.
Dykan nodded.
“Without the use of your roaks?”
Dykan nodded again. “I don’t use my roaks on aliens, you know that.”
Since he had left his home planet, he had enjoyed fucking many alien females in many different positions. He had also learned the hard way that it was not a good idea to share his pheromones with aliens. The first time he had fucked a non-Makaen female, he had rubbed his roaks, the little horns on his forehead, against her skin without even thinking about it. By doing so, he had given her a small amount of his pheromones. For Makaen females, those pheromones were necessary to make fucking pleasurable. Without them they wouldn’t get excited and wet enough. Most alien females, in his experience, didn’t need pheromones to get aroused. On the contrary, they could even act a bit crazy when they received pheromones.
One particular non-Makaen female had turned completely wild with lust when he had fucked her, which at that moment had been very pleasant. But afterwards she had stalked him for rotations all across the space station where they had been docked, begging him to rub his roaks against her. And he had declined, several times. She was too needy. It was like she had been addicted or something. It had been so fucking weird. When he had met another female in a tavern and told her he wanted to fuck her, the first female had gone berserk. She had punched female number two in the face, who in turn had defended herself by slapping back, hard. And contrary to what everyone might think, seeing two females fight over a male was anything but sexy. It was demeaning. Only Boda had found it amusing. And in no time, everyone in the tavern had been fighting, again to Boda’s enjoyment. Dykan had left that space station as soon as possible and vowed never to give his pheromones to an alien female again.
“This human/Cassidi does not need my roaks,” Dykan continued. “One stroke of my claws on her skin and she’s in heat.”
Selvin lifted his ridges. “Really? Is that because she’s human or Cassidi?”
“I don’t know. Cassidi are said to be sensual creatures, but she is so much more than that. Maybe it’s the combination, even though I still don’t like the thought of her being human too. Perhaps it is the combination that makes her so special. She truly is like a goddess in bed.” Dykan shook his head. “I can’t describe it. Her scent drives me wild with need, and it feels like she was made to please me.”
Selvin stared at Dykan with his mouth open. He swallowed. “When we’re on Cassidiri, I’m going to find myself a hybrid too.”
Dykan laughed and patted his friend on the shoulder. “You do that, my friend. You do that. For now, have a nice shift. I’m going to bed.”
Dykan walked toward the bridge doors.
Selvin laughed too. “Sweet dreams, although I believe your waking moments are sweeter.”
Kat was still asleep. She was lying on the far side of the bed, clutching a blanket to her chest. Suppressing the urge to touch her shoulder, Dykan took off his clothes and lay down beside her on the other side of the bed. He listened to her breathing, taking in her delicious scent. This was the first time a female had shared his bed this way, or any other way for that matter. Dykan didn’t allow females on his ship. Females were trouble. If his crew wanted to have some fun, they had to do so on the planet or space station they were docked at, but never on the ship. It was one of his rules, and he had broken it. No, she had made him break it. He wanted her so badly, it worried him. Luckily, she didn’t know how much he desired her, because if she knew, he could be in big trouble. Hopefully this feeling would wear off soon. Anyway, their paths would certainly part on Cassidiri, then his life would return to normal. Until then, he would fully enjoy her. Dykan inhaled her scent once more and closed his eyes.
Something had awoken him. It took Dykan a moment to clear his sleep-dazed mind. Then he realized a warm, soft and naked body was pressed against his. In her sleep Kitten had crawled up against him. Her head lay on his chest, with a hand placed on his stomach right above his cock and one leg draped over his thigh.
Normally, Dykan didn’t like it when a female lay against him while he slept. It felt too restrictive, too clingy. That was the reason he never slept in the same bed as a female. Furthermore, Makaen weren’t into cuddling and he was no exception. Yes, he liked fucking very much, but not the touchy-feely stuff. He had to admit, though, that his Kitten pressing her body against his felt extremely pleasing. The thought that she craved being near him, that she sought his body even in her sleep, made him smirk with male pride.
With his claws he gently scratched her back in an up-and-down motion. Kat moaned softly but didn’t wake up. That sound made his cock react immediately and it was fully erect in no time. For now, he would ignore his erection, though. He wanted to make her moan some more.
Without waking her, Dykan pushed her body upwards a little so he could reach her ass better with his hand. His fingers caressed her soft inner thighs and her gorgeous backside. Due to her legs being apart, Dykan had unhindered access to her pussy. He let one finger slide over her folds. Kat groaned and squeezed her body even closer to his, rubbing her pussy against his hip.
