training required pushing him to his limits and beyond. And she was bored of reading complaints about the Governor’s increasingly feudal grip on his subjects while her body sang with need to feel Jaden deep inside her. She wondered if his torture was equal to the insane itch his pheromonal scent created between her legs. She feared she would be forever wet and ready in this man’s presence. She closed down her console, rose, and stretched. Fortunately , she could relieve her need. And increase his suffering at the same time. The lights dimmed behind her as she walked to the bedroom. The door open ed at her approach. She stood in the threshold, manually setting the light to a soft glow. His heartbeat picked up. “Sonil,” he croaked. “Please …” He fell silent. “You want to make love to me?” she teased. He moaned. “I can ’t…” “ Then you are asking me to release you?” He did not reply and Sonil sighed. Jaden had a real problem asking for relief. Perhaps for him it felt akin to agreeing to make love. The thought was unsettling, but his stubborn sense of honor intrigued her. She moved closer to check that the cock ring was not too tight. His skin looked a good color so she entered the bathroom and prepared for bed. Her body pulsed with excitement, high from the pheromones he exuded. When she was ready, she moved to the bedroom and paused in the open doorway where the bathroom light would silhouette her. His elevated position allowed him to see her easily. She untied her robe and let it slide off her shoulders. She saw him swallow. Pain crossed his face. She allowed the robe to slide over her breasts and pool around her ankles. His gaze shifted as if the sight of her was an agony too far. She stepped over the silky material and climbed on top of the bed sheets on hands and knees before lying full-length directly under him. The bed creaked and he moaned. She smiled and expelled pheromones that made most males fight to the death for her attentions. “ Fuck …” he whispered. “Don’t…” “ Don’t what?” “Move .” “ Look at me.” He did . He groaned. His hips thrust down and he cried out. “Make love to me, Jaden. You know you want to.” “I can’t.” His voice cracked. “You ask the impossible.” “Maybe I am.” She waited for him to process her words. “ Maybe I should let you down.” He blinked slowly . Hope flared in his eyes then faded. S econds ticked by. Sonil waited patiently. She had given him the opening, but he had to ask. When he held his silence, she shrugged. His pride was a stoic enemy. She reveled in the sight of his naked body suspended above her with his rigid cock straining to reach her. Her breasts hardened. She caressed her nipples with her thumb and forefinger. Her body writhed in response. Jaden thrust down and moaned. She reached between her legs and searched her silken depths. Pleasure lanced her body. Her back arched. The bed was fixed solid, but he seemed to feel the slightest movement. His moans increased her desire. She probed deeper, connecting with the pulsating nub controlling her. She had to be quick. He could not take much more. She groaned, her eyes clos ing as her fingers moved in and out, rapidly taking her to the edge. She pulled and twisted her nipple, timing each tweak to synchronize with the sensations consuming her. When her jerking body exploded, she screamed. As she floated down she heard Jaden whimper. When he moaned no longer, she realized he’d passed out. She listened to his slow and steady heartbeat. The general was stubborn. It would be his undoing. Then again, that same quality had been the reason she had chosen him. The Qui deserved no thing less.

Jaden awoke to an erection that paled the rest of his distressed body into insignificance. He stared down on Sonil sleeping peacefully. The warm room removed the need for a covering. She was naked, the soft light giving her powder blue skin an
