fingers glowed, and she traced his body in heat and delicate patterns.
When her fingers circled his cock with heat, he groaned and arched back, his head and heels propelled him into an arc. She released his shaft and climbed astride him. Harmony eased him inside her and smiled. It had only been a short time, but she had missed this.
Nero sat up and arranged her so that her legs were wrapped around him and his hand was in the centre of her spine, pressing her against him. “Ah, Harmony. I have missed you.”
His free hand cupped her buttock and rocked her against him. He kissed her, and she revelled in the delightfully unhurried lovemaking. The star was watching avidly in the background, and Harmony got the idea that she was almost taking notes.
His hands began to roam, and she kept the rocking rhythm that stirred him inside her more than thrusted.
The heat of his touch was torture. Pleasure rippled through her as he cupped her breasts, abraded her nipples and stroked the soft skin underneath.
She didn’t know if they moved together for hours, minutes or days before the tension building in her peaked and she bit softly at his shoulder. She laughed softly as he bit savagely into her skin; her move spurred his release. She had learned that trick on their third day together, and when it stopped working, she would stop using it.
He released her shoulder with a soft kiss. “I have missed you.”
“Well, you need miss me no longer. If I were any closer to you, I would be internal…and you actually are.” She chuckled and kissed his jaw, stroking his hair and flicking the rings in his ears.
“You know, amongst the Kell, if we were wedded, you would wear some of my rings.”
She narrowed her eyes. Those rings were all designed to go through cartilage. “How many?”
“One for the engagement. One for the wedding.” He stroked her ears. “I think they would be very fetching.”
“I would have to find a piercer in the commercial sector and with only one catch under my belt, I am not sure that I have enough credit for it.”
He laughed. “I have the largest medical centre on the planet. I think I can manage a piercing.”
It was too late to back out. She could see that he had made up his mind. Sighing, she sat up and let him slip from her before she tried dismounting. She had forgotten to get off him once, and he had been less than impressed when she wrenched his sensitive flesh to the side.
She followed his direction and sat in his chair while he prepared instruments and sterilized two of the eighteen rings he wore in his ears.
He sterilized her skin, marked her carefully, and created the first minute hole to slip the ring through. She jerked when the needle pierced her flesh but held still when the ring went in.
He carefully made sure that the piercings were even before he made the second circular incision. When the next ring was in place and fastened, her inner star rose and sealed the wounds.
She reached up and tugged at them, amazed at the lack of pain.
Nero winced. “Doesn’t that hurt?”
“Nope. She healed it. Now, do you want to get dressed and go flying?”
He grinned. “Are you still up for it?”
“Oh. I am. It is you that might find it awkward. Go and get some pants.”
Chapter Nine
Harmony was right. He was a little ungainly, but he picked it up quickly. In only a few minutes, they were playing tag in the sky like unruly children or wild pixies.
Harmony felt her star speak, but it wasn’t to her, it was to the darkness inside Nero, and it was not an audible conversation.
How are you finding your Avatar?
He is strong and very attached to yours. This might work, bright one.
They will have much to do if we are to build this world up, dark one.
They are suited to it. We simply need to tell them what we actually want. If your Avatar can increase the population by assisting us in raising the survivor rate, we might just have a chance to wake the world once again.
