Choosing Riley: Sarafin Warriors Book 1 (26 page)

A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth as
warmth filled her. “You love me?” She asked with a sparkle of hope
in her eyes.

Vox closed his eyes for a moment before he
opened them and sighed heavily. “With every fiber of me and my
cat’s being.”

Riley reached up and tugged his mouth down to
hers. She kissed him with everything she had inside her. She let
all her fear, hope, and love flow into it, showing him everything
that she didn’t know how to express. Her lips caressed his, her
tongue running along them until he opened to her. Her arms wrapped
around his neck, pulling him off balance until he was lying over
her.

He pulled back far enough to look down at
her. Her eyes were shining brightly and a small smile curved her
swollen lips. His eyes searched her face for anger, rejection,
horror but he saw none of that. Instead, he saw wonder, acceptance,
and – love.

“You love us,” he breathed out.

“I have from the first. I just couldn’t
believe I could be the heroine in the story. How could a guy like
you want a smart-mouth, maturely figured girl like me? You are one
sexy alien, Vox d’Rojah,” Riley admitted. “You could have any girl
you wanted,” she added ruefully. “Why would you want me?”

Vox threw back his head and laughed before he
looked down at Riley with a huge grin on his face. “I love your
smart mouth. I am never bored. Your mature figure is…” A deep purr
rumbled from him as he glanced down at her overflowing breasts
trying desperately to escape from the top she was wearing and then
down to her hips. He rubbed his swollen cock against her and
chuckled when she gasped. “You are perfect. You are the only woman
I want, Riley St. Claire from Denver, Colorado. You are the only
one who can bring my blood to a boil. I would choose you over any
other female,” he vowed with a soft, rumbling growl.

Riley licked her bottom lip, moaning with
need when her tongue was not the only one licking it. She was
startled by the purr that escaped her as Vox’s tongue touched hers,
stroking it and her lip at the same time. She drew in a sharp
breath as she felt his sharp teeth nip at it, her body arching in
response.

“Vox?” She breathed out.

“Yes, my mate,” Vox purred deeply, rubbing
his hips back and forth against her.

“Can I … Did I… turn into a cat?” Riley asked
hesitantly.

Vox pulled back with a wicked smile on his
lips. “Yes, you can and you did. You are a beautiful cat,
Riley.”

Riley’s eyes widened in shock before she bit
her bottom lip. “Can I do it again?” She asked anxiously.

“Would you like to?” Vox asked
cautiously.

Riley thought for a minute before nodding
shyly. “Yes…. Yes, I think I would like to try it again very much,”
she said determinedly.

“Then come to me my mate,” Vox growled out in
a low, gravelly voice that pulled at something deep inside her.

Vox rolled away from Riley, shifting as he
did until his massive cat lay watching her intently. Riley felt her
body tingling all over before she rolled over as a shimmering light
engulfed her. She felt the shift as it flooded her. This time she
embraced it. A sense of relief poured through her as she let her
cat out.

Yes!
Her cat purred.
At
last!

What the fuck?
Riley gasped,
startled.

Oh, I plan to do that too,
her cat
responded with a deep purr.

Riley gaped at her cat.
You shameless
little hussy.

Not hussy, pussy!
Her cat purred
turning her back to Vox and flicking her tail back and forth
seductively.

Holy shit,
Riley breathed as the heat
she had experienced burst into a raging inferno.

Her cat stood up and stretched, putting her
front paws out in front of her and lowering her head at the same
time she rose up on her back legs flicking her tail. A loud rumble
filled the training room as Vox watched his mate. The scent of her
heat slammed into him like a wave crashing onto the cliffs. A loud
snarl burst from him as he crouched and moved into position to pin
her. Riley rose up and shook her larger body. White hair shimmered
as it rippled back and forth with the movement. Her beautifully
sculpted head turned and her lip pulled back just enough for her to
flash her teeth in warning. Vox advanced on her slowly, his larger
body throbbing with need and desire as his cat watched his mate
tease him. She was playing a very dangerous game. He knew she
didn’t have a clue as to what she was doing but her cat probably
did. That damn tail of hers was practically begging him to snatch
her and mount her. A low growl of warning escaped him as she
flashed her teeth at him again. Her cat wanted to play hard to get.
That was not going to happen. He had caged his own leopard too long
to deny it any longer.

Riley turned as Vox charged at her. She
swatted at him with her paw but the blow didn’t even faze him as he
knocked her over onto her side, pinning her by the neck. She tried
to get her back legs up under his belly to throw him off but he
growled in a low dangerous tone that froze her. He kept his grip on
her neck as he straddled her body with his bigger one. Riley
shivered as she felt his thick, heavy cock brush along her
belly.

Vox?
She breathed nervously.

I won’t hurt you, Riley. Let my cat take
his mate. He needs her like I need you,
Vox’s low rumble
whispered across her mind.

I can speak and understand cat?
She
asked as she let her head fall back against the padded mat.

Vox coughed out in a deep, gruff sound that
tickled the fur near her ear. Riley hissed as he loosened his grip
enough for her to roll over. She thought he was going to let her
get up but instead the moment she was on her belly, he bit down on
her again, placing his two front paws on either side of her
shoulders while he pushed her head down closer to the mat. She
snarled when his thick cock slid deep into her. He began rocking
back and forth, taking her hard. Riley ignored the tearing of the
mat as she dug her claws into the padded material. She hissed,
arching her back so that he could drive into her even deeper as
pleasure and warmth flooded her.

Her body jerked as spasms rocked her world.
She let out a loud, wild cry that would have scared her if not for
the pleasure sweeping through her in endless waves of ecstasy. A
few more strokes and Vox’s loud roar shook the weapons on the wall.
The huge male was locked to the smaller female caged under him as
his body felt the ultimate release.

Mine!
His cat roared over.
My mate,
my mate,
he snarled over and over.

I love you,
Riley purred out as her
body melted down onto the matting.
Please, don’t ever let me
go.

Vox licked the fur around her muzzle gently,
cleaning her with his rough tongue.
Never, my fierce kitten.
Never will I let you go.

Riley closed her eyes as Vox continued to
clean her. She barely moved when he wrapped his larger form around
her. A sigh escaped her as she settled into a deeper sleep,
exhausted after everything that had happened over the past couple
of hours. Vox laid his head down gently over her neck. His mind
drifted as he thought of how much his life had changed since he
first saw his beautiful, buxom mate standing up on the choosing
platform giving the Antrox a piece of her mind. He rubbed his head
along the still damp fur of her neck where he had held her down and
couldn’t help but think he might just have to thank Raffvin before
he killed the bastard.

“Guall’s balls, not again!” Vox cursed as he
stormed out of the commander’s conference room and hurried off the
bridge after he received a report from Lodar that Riley was loose
again. “I am going to chain her ass to my bed as soon as I catch
her – again.”

The
Shifter
was scheduled to dock with
the Transfer station in orbit around the planet in a little over an
hour and his mate was sashaying her furry little ass up and down
the ship. All the males were already about to revolt against him
because of her and that was before she learned how to shift into
her cat. They were determined to protect her even if it meant from
him after he destroyed another one of her jackets by mistake. News
had swept through the ship of how he had made her cry. Now, the
news was spreading about how gorgeous she was in her cat form and
every warrior was doing their damn best to catch a glimpse of her.
The last three days had been a nightmare for him. Riley in her
two-legged form was enough to drool over. Riley in her four-legged
form was enough to cause every hot-blooded male in his prime to
become filled with razor-edge sexual frustration. She had no idea
just how damn sexy her wider hips, soft plump belly, and flashing
tufts of white fur were to a bunch of cat-shifting warriors who had
been in space for far too long. Not to mention, she didn’t know how
to walk like a damn cat! She pranced everywhere she went, her tail
flicking this way and that in innocent invitation to every male she
came across.

“Riley!” Vox roared as he watched his mate’s
sassy hips swaying seductively to and fro. Hell, he would be lucky
if he didn’t shift and take her right there in the corridor.
“Guall’s balls female, you are about to cause every male on this
warship to have to seek privacy to relieve themselves if you don’t
get to our living quarters right now!”

Riley turned her head and snorted in
disbelief at Vox. Her big, blue eyes staring at him like he was
crazy. She sat down in the middle of the corridor, shook her head
and lifted a paw up as if inspecting her pink claws while she
waited for him to reach her.

Pink claws?
Vox shook his head.
Who
ever heard of painted claws?

He didn’t even want to know how she was able
to paint the claws of her cat pink. He had never seen anything like
it. From the looks of all the males standing in the corridor
watching her with lust-filled eyes, neither had anyone else. Vox
snarled out in a low dangerous tone to the warriors to get back to
work.

He slowed and shaking his head at his wayward
mate. Ever since she woke up in the training room, it had been a
challenge to get anything done. Between wanting to fuck her in both
her two-legged and four-legged form and trying to keep her isolated
as he sensed her going into heat, he had been trying to finalize
preparations for their return to the planet. On top of that, Riley
had taken to shifting back and forth at random and unexpected
moments. It was driving both him and his cat crazy as they were
both in a highly sexually charged state.

He also needed to inform his parents and
other siblings that he had mated. He could only imagine how his
father and mother were going to react to that. He might be the King
of Sarafin since his father stepped down to spend more time as a
diplomat for their world but he still respected his father’s
knowledge, skills and power. He knew his father expected him to
fulfill the terms of the treaty even though there was no way he
could do it now.

Vox stopped and looked down at Riley for a
few seconds before he knelt down on one knee in front of her. He
chuckled and shook his head when she ran her long, slender tongue
along his neck as he bent closer to her. He threaded his fingers
through the hair along her jaw and ran them up until he could pull
gently on her right ear.

“You have no idea the mayhem you are causing,
do you?” Vox asked quietly as he stroked her.

Within the blink of an eye, Riley was sitting
in front of him in her two-legged form. “Oh!” She huffed out,
blinking up at Vox with wide startled eyes. “I’m still working on
the shifting thing.”

Vox’s eyes widened before they closed half
way. “You have to remember what you are wearing when you shift as
well, my beautiful little mate,” he groaned huskily. “I am going to
have to kill every male on board the warship if they see you like
this.”

“What?” Riley asked confused before looking
down and realizing she was wearing just her camisole and a pair of
dainty matching boxers. “Oh shit!”

Vox groaned as he saw her pebble-sized
nipples harden into tight buds. His eyes quickly scanned the area,
freezing on a supply room door. He rose up, pulling Riley behind
him. Opening the door, he pulled her inside and shut it quickly
behind them. He didn’t give Riley a chance to protest. Gods, his
body was hard as a rock for her again. He would never get enough of
her. Turning her so she was trapped against the wall in the tiny
room, he gripped the silky material covering her ass and pushed it
down desperately.

“Release me,” he demanded harshly. “Now Riley
or neither one of us will have any clothing left to wear.”

Riley chuckled as her hands quickly moved to
the front of his pants. “You can be so bossy sometimes,” she teased
as her hand slipped between the loosened material of his pants and
his skin. “I love the way you feel,” she admitted with a shy smile
as she wrapped her hand tightly around his swollen cock as his
pants fell down around his ankles.

“Gods Riley,” Vox croaked out as his eyes
rolled back as she began sliding her hand back and forth from the
base of his cock to the tip and back again.

He braced his hands against the wall on each
side of her head, groaning in pleasure. He didn’t trust himself to
not hurt her as sharp waves of need and desire rushed through him
to settle heavily in his balls. He leaned his head back, closed his
eyes and breathed deeply hoping to get some type of control over
his body. He was trying to recite the training lectures from his
youth when all thought disappeared as his mind became a haze of
ecstasy.

A shudder shook his body and his head fell
forward as he watched in disbelief as his mate replaced her hand
with her mouth. Never in his existence would he have allowed a
female of his species to do what his mate was doing. Gods, he had
never even dreamed of it! A Sarafin female had sharp teeth like the
male. They were not known for being very gentle during sex either.
A male chanced losing his manhood should the female become too
rough or enraged during sex. He had never heard of a male risking
such an injury. Now, he panted as he watched the most erotic sight
he had ever seen in his life being performed by his mate.
