Hawk's Prey Page 10

  “Why? You used your mouth to bring me to climax.”

  She wasn’t willing to submit so simply to his hunger. Lovers played. Ducking out of his hold on her head, she twirled around in a circle as she swayed her hips. Tova moved faster before she stopped and shook her finger back and forth slowly at him.

  “You aren’t playing, Hawk. You’re really so naughty.”

  He pushed his pants down his legs in response. Tova felt her lungs freeze as he stood up completely bare. His hands hung just a little away from his sides, with his palms facing her. All the fingers spread open, and he wiggled them slightly as he offered her a low growl. “I enjoy playing naughty.” His eyes lingered over her breasts. “I want to come in your pussy.”

  Tova smiled. “I am still dancing, so you must wait.” It was an intense sort of game, one of tempting the beast and she was the bait he would pounce on when the teasing became too much. She worked her hips in a wide circle. One hand stroked down her own neck to her breast where she pinched her own nipple.

  Hawk could have looked at her for an hour. Her body was lush and full of curves—a stark opposite to his own. His body was trained into a weapon. His muscles measured for strength while her limbs were designed for only pleasure and that deeper purpose of producing life. He stared at her belly and the promise of possible new life that lay inside all females. It was a dream that he rarely allowed himself to indulge in but tonight it blossomed into full color as he considered her recently taken chastity. That was the true reason he rebelled against spilling his seed in her mouth. Tonight’s need was darker and more primitive than he had ever experienced. Tonight, he needed to fuck, keep his cock pressed deep into her body as long as she would tolerate it.

  But it was her submission that truly fed his need. Knowing she came to him, that was a gift that no male could ever take from a female. Hawk treasured the moment as Tova stood for his viewing enjoyment without him demanding that she do it. Her dancing was the most enticing thing he had ever witnessed simply because she did it for him.

  Tova shivered as she stopped dancing. Hawk pressed a control on the wall and the lights dimmed before he lifted his hand and presented his palm to her.

  “Come, Tova.”

  His invitation sent a bolt of desire through her. It was a compromise, a surrender that did not insist she kneel at his feet or obey his every command. They might be lovers who played different roles as their moods changed. His fingers closed around her hand as he pulled her against his body. Hawk bent and hooked an arm under her knees. He turned towards the doorway in one smooth motion that made her gasp. He carried her right into the next room and the huge bed sitting in it.

  “You are a temptress,” he whispered as he placed her in the center of his bed.

  He placed his hands on either side of her body. The scent of his male skin filled her senses as she felt the touch of his chest hair against her softer skin. The little details made her pussy ache for a hard male touch too. Light spilled in from the open doorway, illuminating his larger body as he leaned further towards her until she lay back against the bedding.

  “You tempt me to seal the door and spend the night between your thighs.” He cupped one knee and lifted her leg towards her shoulder before pushing it to the side to expose her slit. He inhaled as he lowered his face towards her sex. “Do you hurt?” He thrust one thick finger into her slit with his question. Tova whimpered as the walls of her pussy tried to clamp around it. She hadn’t realized how much she wanted to be filled again.

  “Tova?”

  He worked his finger in and out of her pussy as her hips lifted for the penetration. The concern in his voice bothered her. Pride filled her as she tipped her hips towards his hand and opened her eyes to meet his gaze.

  “I am no girl, Hawk.”

  Her words were sweet temptation. Hawk sucked his breath in as he resisted the urge to impale her. “Yet you were chaste.”

  “But that does not mean I am delicate.”

  Hawk leaned forward and captured one of her nipples between his lips. Tova sighed at the pleasure. She arched her back to offer her tender flesh to his attention. His finger left her pussy and slid up the center of her slit to her clit. He rubbed the little bundle of nerves as his tongue flickered over the top of her nipple. Pleasure filled her from the combined assault. Tova lifted her hands to touch him. She sighed as her fingers found bare skin for the first time. There was nothing between them and her hands spread out over his chest as Hawk moved to her opposite nipple.

  Hawk cupped her breast, grunting with approval at its weight. The soft globe sat in his hand. Tova was correct. She was no budding maiden plucked from the vine the moment the law permitted it. She was fully mature, her body ready for mating. The whimper rising from her throat was more temptation then he could bear. Rolling forward, Hawk let his body cover hers. She lifted her thighs to cradle him as his cock slipped into the fluid coating her slit. She lifted towards him and he thrust forward into her body. A small gasp marked his entrance as she adjusted to his possession once more. Her fingernails bit into his arms for a moment and he savored the tiny pain because she shared it with him. The tight clasp of her pussy around his cock made it impossible to remain still for long.

  “Wrap your thighs around me.”

  His voice was tight but it made her even more inclined to obey him. There was a hint of uncontrolled fury lurking in his tone that made her crave a taste of his harsher nature. He had been tightly controlled in the forest and now, Tova admitted, she longed to discover exactly what kind of male he was beneath his controlled exterior. She clasped his hips with her thighs, lifting for his next thrust. He hissed as she clawed her fingers down his arms and she caught the flash of something primal in his eyes.

  A second later Hawk captured her hands and pinned them to the surface of the bed. His body drove his cock deeply into her as pleasure speared into her belly. He chuckled at her gasp before leaning down to kiss her neck.

  “You want to be treated like a woman, don’t you, Tova?”

  He bucked between her thighs and pleasure spiked through her. Tova arched beneath him as she cried out with the pleasure. She wanted to hit him but he held her hands pinned with his greater strength. The entire bed shook as he pulled his cock free and thrust it back into her with a hard motion of his hips.

  “Yes!”

  Hawk bit her neck in response. It was a small nip of his teeth but the little pain mixed with the hard thrusts from his hips, made her desperate to move with him. She arched beneath him and cried out as his cock split her pussy with its hard length. The bed rocked again as he pulled free and surged back into her with a hard grunt. It was hard and yet still controlled. Climax taunted her because he didn’t increase his pace. Tova arched her hips higher but that did not allow her to climax.

  “Hawk!”

  “No.” He snarled the command as he thrust hard against her and the bed rocked. “Not so soon, Tova.” Hawk refused to allow his seed to flood her so quickly. He needed to fuck, needed to be inside her, needed to feel her lifting for his cock.

  Tova lost track of time. They were caught in an endless moment of hard thrusts she willingly submitted to. All that mattered was the next hard penetration. There was nothing more important than straining towards him to ensure that his cock lodged as deeply as possible inside her body. His harsh breath hit her neck as he scraped his teeth against the delicate skin of her throat. The hair covering his chest moved against her breasts, delighting her with its harder maleness.

  But Hawk snarled as his control began collapsing. His hands tightened around her wrists as he let more of his weight settle against her body. His hips flexed faster as he drove his cock in and out of her body, deeper and harder. Tova listened to her own cries as her body twisted under his hard possession. Pleasure shot into her womb as her pussy contracted around his cock. Her entire body drew into one taut, straining muscle that lifted towards her partner. The cry she let out echoed off the wall as Hawk snarled and pressed his co
ck harder into her body.

  She felt the hot spurt of his seed and climaxed a second time. This time the pleasure was centered deeply in her belly as her pussy tried to milk every last drop of his seed from his cock. Tova gasped for air as she collapsed back onto the bed. Hawk caught his body on his elbows before crushing her. His chest heaved as he rolled onto his back and took her body with him. One arm hooked around her waist to secure her against his chest as she tried to catch her breath.

  A firm hand pushed her head down onto his chest as his legs tangled with her ankles and clamped them in place. He didn’t order her to be still, only made small sounds like you might to a child as he smoothed his hands over her back. There was no question of submitting because her body was too tired to care about very much besides letting her eyelids close. Her hand rested on his chest and her fingers threaded through his crisp hair as her senses filled with his scent. She sighed as his heartbeat filled her ears, and she felt her own heart matching the tempo.

  Hawk grunted when he heard her breathing change. Tova slipped into slumber while he remained awake. Sleep didn’t hold any attraction for him when remaining awake meant he could stroke her. His fingers played with her hair as a grin lifted his lips. He had never really noticed how delightful a female felt. Tova was soft in every place that he was hard. Their bodies designed to mesh together exactly as they were at that moment. The slight brush of her breath against his chest made him nod with approval as the scent of her wet pussy drifted up to tease his nose. His cock didn’t twitch, it lay satisfied against his belly as he spread his hand over the curve of her hip. Contentment was not something he had ever associated with sex before. Tonight it settled over him like a thick blanket and he enjoyed it as much as he would have on a freezing winter night.

  But her slumber was not peaceful. Tova kicked at the bedding and wiggled away from his embrace. Hawk woke each and every time she moved. He pulled her back against his body before going back to sleep.

  She did not bend easily to his will but even that pleased him. Their children would be forged from that iron will and he was going to enjoy the battle ahead.

  Chapter Seven

  Janus walked through her workstation first thing in the morning.

  Her face flamed scarlet as she remembered what Janus had clearly viewed. Ye Gods! It was enough that she had woken up in Hawk’s bed. She had been grateful for the lateness of her awakening because they both had hurried through dressing and out the door before they were late reporting for duty. The frustrated look on Hawk’s face promised her a reckoning later.

  But Janus was her current dilemma.

  Hawk had been correct. The other Hunter was now intent on her. It was not something that would diminish given time. The only thing that would dissuade him was if she returned to her sire’s living space. He stared at her for too long. Her temper rose as her hands began to shake.

  “Enough, Janus. It is too early in the day to be absorbed in what might happen when our duty is completed.”

  “It will happen.” He flattened his hands on her table and leaned towards her. Tova leaned right back towards him as she snapped her fingers an inch from his nose.

  “I am not a Trophy or a slut or your submissive. If you want my favor, you will learn to ask nicely.”

  He chuckled and captured her hand before she pulled it away. “You might enjoy being my submissive mate.” He turned her hand over and bit the tender skin of her inner wrist before letting her loose.

  “You’re right, it will be a very long day if I keep coming near you.” Janus turned and left.

  Tova hissed and wrapped her arms around her body. Her nipples registered the touch and a tiny spark of enjoyment went through her. Her body ached from Hawk’s possession but that did not banish the craving for a repeat of last night. Hunger flowed through her as thick as her own blood. It never truly vanished. There would be no blaming her reckless behavior on festival madness. No, the attraction went far deeper.

  Hawk didn’t appear to make her taste today either. Tova looked at the timekeeper and felt her pride swell. Trust. It was no simple matter to earn it from a male like him. She felt her heart warming in the face of it. Trust from Hawk meant something to her and that was a fact.

  But as the day finished and he did not appear, despair invaded her thoughts. It might not have been festival madness for her but that did not mean Hawk was interested in any more of her company. She had spread for him without any promise of anything in return.

  Tova shook her head and refused to place a price on her flesh. She felt the blood drain from her face as she considered how foolish she had been last night. She had not even considered the possibility of a child. She might be cradling a new life with no promise from the sire to help rear it.

  Tova shook off her concern. Hawk was not the sort of male who would turn his back on his own blood. He might let her return to her sire’s living space because he had sampled what he desired from her, but if a child grew in her body, there would be compensation.

  That knowledge did not brighten her mood. She looked at the time and left. Her work rotation was finished and there was no sign of Hawk. It was a simple way of dismissing her but maybe better than rejecting her publicly. She did not know and her heart was heavy as she moved towards her living space. But she had nowhere else to go. She was still confined to the penal sphere. Without Hawk giving her escort her only option was to return to her sire’s dwelling. Remaining in the processing station was even forbidden because it was a secure location.

  “What brings you here, slut?”

  Rishan’s voice dripped scorn and for some reason it amused her. Tova stared at the sneer on her sibling’s face before giving in to her emotions and laughing at his temper. Rishan blocked the entrance to his living space, keeping her standing in the street. A few of their neighbors frowned at her. Clearly, her sibling had spent last evening sharing family gossip.

  “Hunter’s whore.” Her brother spat on the ground at her feet.

  Tova propped her hands onto her hips. There were a few grumbles from those who watched and it rubbed her temper. Tova lifted her chin in the face of their judgment—she was the non-convict among them. She would not lower her head in shame to those who broke the law. Besides, her body belonged only to her.

  “He was my lover, Rishan. There are many things you might say of me but I am no prostitute.” Tova shot a harsh glance at the men glaring at her. “I will share my body with whom I choose but never for payment.”

  Rishan cussed at her and so did a few of her neighbors. Tova felt her pride swelling as the harsh words sunk in.

  “You are not welcome here, Tova.”

  “I do not want to be!” And it was the truth! Tova looked at each face surrounding her brother and held her chin firmly in the air. “You shame our mother with your greed. You are only angry because I refused to let you sell my body for your own profit. That is the truth. You know it in your heart. I have come for my things. Gladly will I find some place else to live.”

  A small bag was flung towards her. Tova caught it and made sure to look into Rishan’s face as he sneered at her. She wanted to remember him exactly like this and never forget why she owed him nothing. Her sire was sitting at the table watching silently as he always did. “Hunter’s slut” drifted on the night breeze before she turned and froze as she faced Hawk.

  He stood ten paces behind her, with Janus looking over his shoulder. Her heart twisted with delight even though his face was an emotionless mask. He was every inch a Hunter, their prison guard with black uniform and weapon belt. Today she saw so much more though. There was honor and commitment to his beliefs. His life was dedicated to something more than his own greed. Aye, she was not ashamed of her choice.

  “Come with us, Tova. Now.” Hawk moved his eyes over the crowd as Janus stood in front of Rishan.

  He lifted one hand and held it out to her. She heard the cussing around her and shook her head. She placed her hand into his as those watching grumbled. The on
ly shame that crossed her mind was for the fact that she had once cared what any of these convicts thought about her sharing her body with a Hunter.

  There wasn’t a single male present she would spread for, not one who was worthy of her attention except Hawk. Janus moved and she caught his stare. A shiver shook her body as she realized they had both come for her. Right or wrong, she did not know but she understood that she could not run from her own heart.

  Hawk closed his fingers around hers and pulled her towards his body. “You will never come back here.” Fury lit his eyes as he began to pull her away from the grumbling group. His body was tense and Janus looked ready to spring into action if any of Rishan’s friends gave him even the slightest resistance.

  “Move faster, Tova.”

  Tova turned and never looked back. She did not know where she was bound for but she knew without doubt that she would never return.

  Hawk felt his temper surge up as he hooked the bundle out of Tova’s arms and clamped it under his free arm. The snarls of the convicts they passed grated on his nerves for the first time in years.

  But the true cause of his anger was Tova’s reckless journey back to her sire’s living space. She hurried to keep pace with his longer strides but he didn’t slow down. Removing Tova from the lawless element of the penal sphere was a critical priority. Their conversation on her rash behavior could wait until he was satisfied that she was no longer in any danger.

  Hawk pulled her through the doorway to his living area with a little too much force. Tova stumbled into the room and turned as Janus followed her. She frowned at the show of force they made together. Both males glared at her with tight lips as Hawk moved to the doorway leading to the bedroom they had shared last night. He tossed her bundle into the room and turned back to glare at her. He pulled his black gloves off and dropped them on the center room table. As neat as the living area was, the careless dropping of his uniform gloves hit her as an outburst of emotion.
