He called her muff attractive. Jill frowned but then she realized the time ticked down. As long as he examined her he wasn’t doing anything else. She relaxed. She’d just talk and stall him until his five minutes had elapsed.

“I could tell you how to make patterns with the wand.”

Something flickered in his eyes. “I know you could. Tell me after my four minutes and fifty seconds have elapsed.”

“Damn!” So much for my plan. Jill tensed when he leaned over, his face hovering close to her skin. His intention became clear as hot breath fanned across her inner thighs. Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. “You can’t!”

He paused, giving her an amused smile and an eyebrow arched. “I can’t what?”

“You know.” A deeper blush spread across her cheeks. “I read fiction files with sex in them and you can’t do that. I’d assumed you’d want to touch but not put your face there.”

“Why not?”

“It’s um…well, unsanitary.” She nodded, going with that.

He had the audacity to laugh. “That’s the best excuse you can pull from your mind? No wonder you don’t know sexual satisfaction if you wouldn’t allow your male to touch you as he wished.”

“He never tried that.”

Coal sighed, blowing more hot air over her thighs and pu**y. “Pathetic.”

“I am not.”

“I was speaking about your male. Shut up, Jill.” He frowned. “Relax and give it a try. You will enjoy it. I have a vast amount of experience at this.”

“They forced you to do that too?” Her mouth dropped open. “I thought only men tried to make women go down on them.”

Anger tightened his handsome face. “Your male forced you to your knees?”

“He tried a few times but it didn’t work out for him. It seems we have a lot in common.” She refused to admit it but bad memories flashed through her mind of her ex-husband yelling at her and attempting to do just that until she’s threatened to kill him in his sleep.

A deep growl came from Coal’s throat. “It wasn’t all force with the females who held me.” He took another deep breath. “Once they damaged the chips inside my head that allowed me to close off my physical responses I found sexual enjoyment even though I wasn’t willing at first to be a breeder. If someone touches your body in the correct manner, the need for sexual gratification becomes intense. You will participate in the act.”

“I don’t see that happening.”

“You’re wasting time, Jill. Silence.”

Jill closed her lips firmly, shooting a glare at him. “Fine.” She threw her head back, staring at the beam along the ceiling. “I can’t stop you but I just want you to know I’m really uncomfortable with this. I’m counting down the seconds until I can tell you to stop.”

“You do that.” He sounded amused. “I’ll do this.”

Warm hands adjusted their hold, sliding from her knees to her inner thighs, holding her open wider but gripping her inches from her pu**y. The mattress shifted as Coal’s big body changed position, and to Jill’s shock, two thumbs spread her vaginal lips apart to expose her inner sex to his view. She squeezed her eyes closed and tensed, hoping it wouldn’t be as uncomfortable as she suspected.

“You’re pink.” Surprise was an easy emotion to hear coming from him.

“What color should I be?”

He cleared his throat. “White or a very light gray.”

“Really? Cyborgs are that color down there?” Jill conceded this had to be the strangest conversation she’d ever had.

“Yes.”

Jill opened her mouth to ask him another question, hoping to use up more time, but then shock assailed her as a hot, thick tongue made contact with her clit. She tensed, the sensation freezing the air inside her lungs. A soft growl came from Coal and then his full lips locked around her clit.

Her eyes sprung open wide as he started to suckle on her. His tongue moved back and forth rapidly at the same time. Raw pleasure coursed from between her spread thighs straight to her astounded brain. She gasped in air when she realized she’d totally stopped breathing and as air filled her lungs again, her eyes closed.

Her body tensed and she tried to wiggle away from the intense attack on her pleasure center. Coal’s hands held her firmly in place as if he’d bound her immobile. It heightened the ecstasy each lash of his tongue gave Jill. A moan passed her lips.

Coal growled louder, sending vibrations through her cl*t right to her belly, which tightened in response. Her muscles strained as her body tensed more and she realized her heels dug into the bed. It horrified her a bit that she seemed to be pressing upward against his mouth instead of trying to jerk away. The fire that burned throughout her body grew hotter until she knew sweat beaded her skin. She wasn’t breathing anymore so much as panting loudly.

Just when she thought she’d die from the overload of rapture, the cyborg pulled his mouth away. Shock gripped her for a second time as she lay there trying to catch her breath, aching for something she was certain would be sexual release.

“Look at me,” Coal demanded in a husky voice.

Jill forced her eyes open to stare down her body at him. She couldn’t speak, had no words, and fought the confusion in her mind.

“The five minutes is up. Do you want me to stop?” His eyes appeared black and his features had darkened slightly, his normal skin tone apparently flushed. “I keep my word and we made a deal.” He paused. “Let me give you pleasure. Allow me to finish.”

I’ve lost my mind, she could finally think. Her body ached, hurt actually, especially where his mouth had just been. Her cl*t throbbed painfully and her belly quivered. She could feel wetness trickling down the seam of her pu**y.

“Jill,” his voice deepened. “Let me continue.”

Her mouth opened but no words came out.

“You should see how beautiful you look.” His thumb shifted and rubbed her swollen clit.

Jill gasped, the sheer intensity of that light touch had her fighting back a moan.

“Your increased breathing has made you pinker and your blue eyes have darkened with passion.” Coal rubbed a slow circle over the swollen bud with the pad of his thumb. He inhaled. “I could make a meal out of you. You taste as good as you smell. Have you ever had a male fill you with his tongue?”

Nope, she thought, still unable to speak.

“I know the answer since no male has done this to you before.” His thumb slid lower and slowly breached her pu**y, entering her gently.

Jill threw her head back, moaning, surprised at how incredibly wonderful it felt to have his thick digit penetrating her. There was no pain, just sheer euphoria as some of the aching need inside her eased. Her h*ps tilted in disobedience of her will, helping him slide in deeper.

“Coal!” She wasn’t sure what she wanted, what she meant to say, but only his name passed her lips.

“That sounds to be a yes to me.” He rasped the words before his thumb withdrew and he entered her again, this time with one of his fingers. He adjusted his hold on her until one hand kept her vaginal lips spread while he used his thumb to press against her clit. He started to pump his finger in and out of her pu**y.

Jill clawed at the headboard, her fingers frantic to find anything to grip. Sensations swamped her, too much for her to take in or even attempt to control. She’d never experienced anything that strong, that extremely delightful, and then she screamed when the cl**ax gripped her. Her body shook with each explosive shock of release that flashed until she nearly lost consciousness.

The first thing she became aware of had to be her rapid breathing. She wondered how many seconds had passed, praying it had only been that short of a time before she came around, and then moaned again when Coal slowly withdrew his finger from her still-quivering pu**y. She forced her eyes open and met a pair of totally black, angry-looking eyes.

It baffled her—the evident rage coming from Coal. She just stared at him when he rose up to his hands and knees, managing to avoid her now limp, spread legs on the mattress. He growled words she didn’t understand, spoken too softly for her to hear. She couldn’t look away from him as he backed off her bed, stood at the end of it, and continued to glare down at her.

She glanced down Coal’s body and saw his c**k was still semi hard, actually twitching to a heartbeat tune of its own, and then he spun around, presenting her with a beefy, bare ass.

“I was incorrect. You’re very tight and I fear I’ll hurt you. I’m sorry. I was too sexually stimulated. I need to cool off before I can trust myself not to harm you.”

Jill watched in mute shock as the na**d cyborg stormed out of her quarters, leaving her still tied to her bed, minus her pants and still reeling from what he’d done to her. A full minute later, she shifted her leg, straightening it, just lying there trying to catch her breath. Her foot touched a wet spot on the edge of her bed and she lifted her head to see what it was.

“Oh shit,” she sighed, understanding why he’d fled.

* * * * *

Coal punched the exterior bulkhead in the hallway after the door to Jill’s quarters slid shut. Humiliation and embarrassment gripped him. He welcomed the pain that shot up his arm from where his fist had impacted the unforgiving metal. Anger also burned through him. The female cyborgs had damaged him in more ways than just taking his ability to remote link to computers. They’d damaged his mind until he had a hard time controlling his physical responses.

He turned his head, staring at the door to the captain’s quarters, and wondered what Jill thought of him now. Her beautiful blue eyes staring at him with such passion would be a memory he’d never forget. Maybe she wouldn’t know that he’d come just from hearing her and tasting her. When her muscles had clamped down around his finger and he’d felt her release, he’d lost all control with the scent of her drowning his senses. Just brushing his c**k against her comforter had done him in. He’d come as if he were an untried human male who’d just had sex for the first time.

His shoulders slumped. He flexed his throbbing hand and glanced at it, noting blood smeared across two knuckles. I can’t even control my own temper, he admitted silently. His eyes closed and he took deep, calming breaths. He opened them and walked down the corridor after he regained control of his raging emotions.

How can I face her? He had no answer to the questions that plagued him. I’ve offered to fix her yet I can’t even repair myself.

He entered the cargo hold and frowned at Arm. The droid’s sensor eyes opened and his humanlike features shifted into a simulation of a smile.

“Hello, Sir.”

“Shut down. I’m going to use one of those cleansing canisters and I don’t want you watching me. I don’t even want to see me right now.”

Arm hesitated and then followed orders. The light turned off in his sensors and he went completely still. Coal envied the droid his total control as he jerked open the cabinet where Jill had stored the canister when she’d cleaned him. He knew he’d have to face her soon. She’d need to eat dinner. He’d be damned if she suffered just because he’d had a really embarrassing and frustrating moment in front of her.

Chapter Five

The smell of food woke Jill. When she opened her eyes, she noticed a much calmer Coal standing inside her quarters. He’d donned another pair of ill-fitting pants, stood shirtless just inside the door, and held a tray. He didn’t say a word when he placed it on the only table in the room.

“Could I use the facilities? I’d also like not to be na**d from the waist down.”

The cyborg turned to face her. “I planned to untie you.”

Embarrassment heated her cheeks when she noticed the way Coal’s gaze ran over her body, hesitating on her bare thighs with an intensity that she couldn’t miss. He cleared his throat when he closed the distance between them.
