Valiant Read online

  “Please? I’m not ready to have a baby.”

  He stared into her eyes while he fought his anger and hurt.

  “Valiant?” Her gaze softened. “You could totally seduce me, I want you, but I’m just asking for more time before we risk that. Can you please do this for me? Please?”

  He closed his eyes, snarled, and jerked to his feet. “Get naked. I’ll be right back.” He stormed out of the bedroom, down the hall, and to the suite door. He jerked it open and glared at Flame. They’d just changed guards.

  Flame watched him warily as he backed away. “What’d I do?”

  “I need condoms.” He spat the last word.

  Flame did a poor job of hiding his amusement. “Um, all right. No glove, no love, huh?”

  Valiant snarled at him.

  Flame backed up a few feet more, reaching behind him. Valiant tensed, believing the officer reached for his weapon. Instead he pulled out a wallet, opened it, and removed something that crinkled in a long wrapper.

  “Here.” He stepped forward. “The no-glove-no-love thing was mentioned in a class we held at Homeland about human women. It means some of them don’t want sex without a condom.” He braved another step. “We carry these in our wallets at Homeland if we interact with human women just in case we decide to share sex. I’ll make sure more are brought to you but that’s all I’ve got for now.” He held them out. “Do you know how to use them?”

  “No.” Valiant hated to admit it. He accepted the weird package that had four round things sealed in weird-looking plastic on one side and shiny stuff on the other.

  Flame swallowed. “We really need to hold classes here at Reservation. You carefully open one of the packages containing a round rubber thing. You put it over the tip of your dick and it rolls down to the base of it.” He glanced at Valiant’s hands. “Let her do it. You’ve got the sharp-nail issue. You’ll tear them. Just look cute and helpless while you tell her you need help. Human women dig that.”

  “Thank you.” He met Flame’s eyes. “I appreciate the advice.”

  Valiant backed up, slammed the door closed and locked it. He clenched his teeth, gripped the condoms, and stormed back toward the bedroom. The things I will do for my Tammy.

  Chapter Ten

  Tammy knew Valiant was angry when he returned to the bedroom and slammed their door closed. She had stripped, climbed under the covers, and watched him face her. He held up a roll of four condoms.

  “I don’t know anything about these.”

  She was extremely touched that he’d gotten them somehow. She threw back the bedding and rose to her feet. “It will be fun.”

  His eyebrows arched and he didn’t appear convinced.

  “Will you trust me?” She slowly approached him and took the roll from his open palm.

  “I want you to be happy,” he grudgingly admitted. “But I am not.”

  She backed up. “Remove your clothes. I can remedy that.”

  “Will it hurt?” His gaze fell to the condoms.

  “No.”

  “It’s not natural.” He began to strip though.

  This coming from a guy who is part lion. She kept that observation silent. The sight of his bare body always did wonderful things to her. He followed her to the bed and glared down at her, showing his displeasure, but she gave him credit for getting condoms. An idea struck and she grinned.

  “Will you stretch out over the bed on your back for me?”

  His gaze narrowed. “Why?”

  “Because I asked?” She grinned at him. “Pretty please?”

  He blew out a deep breath. “This better not be painful.”

  He turned and just threw his big body across the mattress. She held back a laugh as he rolled onto his back, locked his arms behind his head to use his hands for a pillow and glared at her. She climbed on the bed and straddled his thighs. The shock on his features was instantly apparent.

  “What are you doing?”

  She dropped the condoms on the bed next to his hip. “Just lie back and I’ll show you that condoms can be fun.”

  He softly growled at her. “You’re acting strange.”

  “I like seeing you this way.” Her gaze lingered over his taut, muscular belly, his broad chest, before lowering to his partially erect cock. He’d been circumcised. She hadn’t noticed that before since he’d never given her time to really examine that part of him. He also had no pubic hair although he did have a thin trail of hair from his bellybutton down to his lower belly. She leaned forward, kept eye contact with him, and braced her arms as she hovered over him. A smile curved her lips.

  “Can you hold real still for me?”

  “Why? What are you planning to do?”

  “Getting you so turned on that you don’t mind wearing a condom.”

  “I always want you.”

  “Just hold still, okay? Don’t sit up. Don’t grab me either or roll me onto my back. Am I clear? Freeze just the way you are.”

  He seemed to ponder her request. “You’re my Tammy and you may do as you wish to me.”

  He wasn’t happy about it but still agreed. It amused her but she refrained from laughing. She leaned up, studied his rib cage, and her mouth lowered to his body. The muscles tensed along his abdomen when she licked his skin and her hair fell forward to brush against his side. She kissed him, allowed her teeth to lightly nip him and began to explore down over his six-pack abs with her lips.

  A growl tore from Valiant. “What are you doing?”

  “Relax.” She felt his cock stiffen against her ribs where it lifted and poked against her as he became more aroused. “Enjoy this.” Her mouth returned to his skin.

  The muscles of his legs tensed against her thighs as she inched lower until her face hovered above his cock. He was big, thick and impressive. She glanced up at his face to see his eyes were closed, his sharp teeth dented his bottom lip and he had an edgy expression on his face. She wondered if anyone had ever done any of this to him before. He’d admitted to having limited sexual experience.

  She licked her lips to wet them, lifted one hand and wrapped her fingers around his rigid shaft. A snarl tore from Valiant and his eyes opened, his head lifted, and he stared at her with obvious surprise.

  “You are putting one on me now?”

  “No. Not yet.”

  He swallowed and breathed a little faster. “You wish to study me?”

  “Nope.” Her gaze lowered and she tilted her head a little as her tongue dipped out to drag over the crown of his cock.

  Valiant jerked, a strange sound coming from him, and his ass pressed tighter against the mattress, enough to pull him away from her mouth. She glanced up at him.

  “What are you doing?” He gaped at her in absolute shock.

  That answers that question. “You’ve never had a woman do this before?”

  “Lick me? Not there. Males do it to females to prepare them for sex and to enjoy their taste but I’m ready to take you.”

  “Shut up and enjoy this, baby.”

  She gave her full attention to his erection and opened her mouth wide. She was afraid he’d protest so she decided to show him how good it would feel instead of teasing him a little first. Her mouth wrapped around his cock as she took a few inches inside and began to lick and suck on him as she tightened the seal.

  He didn’t fight, didn’t tear her off, but his body did stiffen. She took more of him, working him deeper inside, to the back of her mouth, and began a slow and steady rhythm of going up and down in steady stokes, her tongue rubbing him.

  Loud, raspy purrs came from Valiant and she knew he enjoyed it a lot. A sweet taste began to tease her and she moaned, realizing his pre-cum had to be the source.

  Every time she nearly slid him out of her mouth more of it spilled onto her tongue and then a loud noise made her jerk her mouth completely away and lift her head to discover the source.

  Valiant’s hands were digging into the bedspread near his head and she saw where the material had torn. His
