Sabotaged Desires Page 3

  “I’ll ask a question or two. She’s probably won’t like it though.” He nodded to Suz. He knew she’d become angry at a few of them. They had to get this out in the open and somehow rebuild a relationship. Even if they managed to talk through everything, he didn’t know how he could trust her again.

  Susanne sat up, looked at him and slowly shook her head from side to side. Her shoulders slumped. “He thinks he knows all the answers.”

  “Then he’ll be surprised when he hears the truth. Let him ask and simply tell it as it is.” David eased in beside her and put an arm around her in support.

  They faced him and waited in silence. Robert didn’t understand how David could be so calm and sure of Suz. They’d both known her only a short time and they hadn’t had any say in the match. The information in that message put her and her actions in a very bad light.

  His eyes returned to Suz. Her silver blond hair hung wildly around her shoulders. His gaze took in her rounded face and reddened, kiss swollen lips before sliding down to her breasts. His mouth watered as his gaze locked on the reddened nipples. He wanted to touch, lick and taste. First though, they had to begin to talk about the information he’d been sent. He didn’t start off with the most important question. He dreaded hearing her lie to him.

  “Tell me if it’s true or not. Did you arrange the psych eval so that you could be matched with us?” He lifted his eyes to hers, but the lure of her naked body sitting across from him drew them down. His gaze trailed over her breasts and down to the mound of her pussy. He wished she’d widen her thighs just a little.

  Her mouth dropped open. “How could I do that? I didn’t meet you before they paired us together. I didn’t know who was in the program.”

  She had to have done something. He hadn’t met her before they were matched, but with what he knew about her now, it seemed much too coincidental that she’d been matched with a man in the highest position on the colony. Even after they arrived on the planet, he was the only one guaranteed to maintain some power as they built their new life. He’d be in charge during the time they built their new colony. After they had everything set up, they’d select a governing triumvirate.

  “It’s simple chance that you were paired with David and me?” He raised an eyebrow, but his eyes moved over her sweet body.

  Suz sighed, but rose to her knees. He watched her, unsure of what she planned to do. When he considered her reaction earlier, she could do anything. She edged across the bed and put her hand on his shoulder, pushing on his shoulder until he sprawled on the bed. The move surprised him, but his body hardened at the show of spirit and feminine aggression. She’d shown this side of her a little before, but at the moment, he wished he’d seen more of it.

  “If you plan to stare, you can get a look up close. It might remind you of what you’ve been missing.” She swung her leg over him and straddled his hips. “To answer your question, yes, it was simple chance, but you can bet you weren’t the only one a little mystified by the choices made.”

  “You don’t think they made the right choice?” Robert frowned, feeling a little offended and angered by the thought that she longed for someone else.

  “I thought that whatever method or algorithm they used to come to the decision had some serious flaws because both you and David seemed so far from the type of men I usually found attractive.” Suz grimaced and shook her head.

  “You’re saying that we’re not the men you would choose for yourself.” Robert frowned, but found himself lifting his hand. His fingertips brushed across her hip. Her skin was so soft.

  “No, you aren’t.” She shrugged.

  His eyes almost crossed as her breasts bobbed with the movement. Did she know how much he wanted to get his hands on those gorgeous mounds? He held back, unsure if he believed her assertion. She’d walked so easily into their relationship. She hadn’t asked any questions or sounded angry when they’d met.

  “Why should I believe that? You didn’t say anything about it when we met and you seem to like us to this point.” He met her eyes again, but found it difficult to focus on the point of the conversation.

  “Because I don’t have any reason to lie about it and sex isn’t what I’m talking about. It’s not as if anything would change either way. We’d still be married. We’d still have to work through this.” She shook her head and put her hand on his chest. “You should start thinking and asking the questions I know you have even though you’re furious.”

  He could feel the tension in her legs and see it in the set of her shoulders. She was getting frustrated and probably angry as well. His hand stroked over her thigh and he hoped the touch soothed her a little.

  “Why didn’t you say anything before now about having doubts about the choices made for us?” His eyes followed the path of his hand as it drifted up to her ribs.

  “Because it wouldn’t have done anything except cause problems and maybe hurt feelings. I thought we should start off without all of that between us since it didn’t matter. Everything about our life on Earth doesn’t count. Only now and what we do in the future.” She looked down at him with sadness in her eyes.

  He believed that she’d preferred not to start their relationship with trouble. Hadn’t he done the same thing in a way? Physically, she was different than most of the women he’d dated. And temperamentally. He couldn’t forget that. Most of the women he dated didn’t question or argue. She hadn’t backed away from the fight. It had been different. He’d never pointed that out to her, so finding fault with her would be hypocritical. He’d focused on the positive aspects of the situation and let the past go.

  “What about me and David isn’t what you expected or wished for?” Robert let his fingertips graze the underside of her breast. The gliding caress tormented him as much if not more than her, but he couldn’t resist exploring the flesh so close to hand. The soft warmth of her skin and her full curves drew him.

  “I don’t think it’s necessary to go into that.” She shook her head. “There are enough problems between us.”

  “It won’t cause any more problems. This is necessary.” David eased over behind her and his lips trailed over her shoulder. “We need to get this all out on the table now that we’re talking.”

  “You’re just not my type. I never dated men like you. Men who are accustomed to power. You both have the ‘I’m always right attitude’ and are always giving orders. Although David isn’t as intense as you, he does have it.” She bit her lip and met his eyes. “I had enough of that when I was growing up.”

  That would have been a perfect time to ask questions about her uncle, but it would destroy the intimacy of the moment. Even though he still wore his pants, he loved feeling her pussy pressing against him and the way she touched him. He had the feeling all of that would end once he asked her about her uncle.

  “The women I dated were different than you, but I took the same attitude you did. I decided to give the relationship a chance without the pressure and anger.” David dropped a kiss on her neck.

  “I decided to give us some time, too.” Robert cupped his hand under her breast. It had seemed to be the best idea at the time, before that message had arrived. If they’d talked about everything before, maybe the revelation wouldn’t have hit so hard. Maybe he would have known the truth then.

  She wriggled and the folds of her pussy rubbed against his cock, pushing his control. He could feel the moisture of her pussy even through his shorts and he itched to rip the cloth away and lift her onto his cock.

  “You have a problem with men in power?” Robert rolled his hips upward, enjoying the rub of his cock against her folds.

  “Yes, but you’ve waited a little too long to discuss it. Now, I think we’re both interested in something else.” She wriggled and braced her hands on his chest.

  “I’m definitely interested in this, but are you sure this is the right choice to make before we finish talking?” He braced a hand on her hip and tried not to think about rocking her against him. They sti
ll hadn’t worked through the main core of the issue that had caused this.

  If she moved much more, he probably wouldn’t even get the shorts off in one piece before he thrust his cock deep. He intended to make sure she was ready, but his body definitely had ideas.

  “They’re not going to let us out tonight even if we talk through everything all at once. They’ll require proof that we’ve worked out the problems and haven’t simply made nice to get out. We might as well have a little fun while we’re locked in here.” She leaned down and nipped at his lips. “You’re the one who sounds as if you might have doubts.”

  A surge of hunger shot through him at the open aggression. She licked his lips, before she sat up and rocked her hips. Her fingers clasped the top of his shorts, but she didn’t pull them down. His breath locked in his throat and he tried to remain still. Those shorts had to come off.

  “No, but if you’re not sure, you might resent me later. We have enough problems without adding regrets to the list.” He drew his fingers across the tip of one tight nipple.

  “I won’t regret it. Do you want me to get up or perhaps I should pull these down?” She fingered the edge of his shorts.

  “I might have to grab you if you try to get up completely. Lift up so I can at least ease them down.” He fought the urge to clamp both of his hands on her hip to hold her still at her threat.

  His cock ached and his thoughts centered on feeling her tight pussy rippling over his shaft. He’d been so angry that he hadn’t realized how much he missed holding her. The thought of touching her and the possibility of sex excited him, but even cuddling with her would satisfy part of him.

  She braced an arm beside his shoulders. Her hips rose until he could ease his shorts down. David took over and worked them down his legs and over his feet. She slowly began lowering her hips. Robert reached between them and guided the head of his cock to her entrance. She hummed softly, a smile curving her lips as her pussy slowly stretched around his cock.

  She remained still for a moment when she’d taken his length. Panting breaths escaped her lips as small tremors shook her shoulders. She seemed to be struggling to grasp some control. He hadn’t realized her desire had risen so high. The thought of watching her come apart with the pleasure was almost enough to make him pull back. Even more than that though, he wanted to feel her pussy rippling over his shaft.

  He grasped her hips and slowly rocked her against him. He gritted his teeth as her inner muscles clenched around his cock, threatening to send him over the edge.

  “Move on me, Susanne. Show me how much you want me.” He drew his fingers across the skin over her hipbones.

  His body tightened with need, but he wouldn’t lose control before she did. He had to see it. He loved watching the pleasure wash over her and the flush of red rise up her neck to her face.

  Suz’s eyelids lowered as her hips rocked. Her breasts bobbed with every movement. He ached to see them bouncing and take the reddened tip into his mouth or see David plucking and squeezing them as she rode him.

  She slowly canted her hips and gasped, her thighs tightening around his. “Oh, that.”

  The words hissed from her. It took him a moment to realize that the angle must be just right and his cock brushed a sweet spot. He lifted his hips upward, unable to resist exploring this development. She gasped. Her hips pressed down against him. As her shoulders shook and her inner muscles tightened, her movements became more demanding.

  He watched the sway of her breasts and his mouth watered with the thought of drawing one of those nipples deep into his mouth, but the last thing he intended to do was change the angle. Her gasps and the flush rising over her breasts and cheeks riveted him.

  “David, give her breasts some attention.” Robert drove his hips upward. His balls drew tighter to his body as the urge to come pounded through him. He held back desperately.

  Soft cries escaped her lips. Her teeth worried her lip as her hips pressed down against him, grinding and seeking every bit of sensation before lifting to begin again. David cupped her breasts, his fingers tightening and squeezing the lush globes. She caught her breath. Her body froze for a moment.

  Robert gripped her hips. He couldn’t take the stillness. He intended to drive her over the edge before she sent him crashing that way. His hands gripped her hips before he began rocking her hips as his cock stabbed upward.

  A choked cry escaped her. The ripple of her inner muscles over his cock told him he’d found that sweet spot. He continued to drive into her as she shook. David’s fingers plucked at her nipples drawing moans and wriggles from her even as Robert gave into the urgency clawing at him. His hips punched upward and he savored the wet heat of her pussy on his cock. The coiling tension broke. Pleasure exploded outward, sizzling over his body. His hips lifted as he tried to draw out the sharp, sweet sensation.

  Her hands ran over his chest. Robert savored that contact even as he began to think again. He hoped he could avoid starting another argument with her, but they did need to talk and work through their problems. His hands tightened on her hips.

  The warmth of her pussy and the slick heat offered a delicious haven that even now caused his cock to harden again. If he could hear those sweet gasps and moans again, he’d be more than happy to continue. He almost gave in to the temptation, but nagging questions pressed and demanded answers.

  Chapter Four

  David sat on the bed, thinking as they waited for Suz to get out of the shower. They’d gotten dressed reluctantly. Although he hadn’t wanted her to put on clothes again, they needed to talk.

  He’d wanted to extend the contact. Unfortunately, they couldn’t shower together. The small, white cubicle barely fit one person. His mind kept coming back to the image of her naked in the shower, water cascading down and her hands gliding over her wet body. The thought had his cock pressing against his pants and an ache building in his balls. To keep from going out of his mind before she made it out of there, he tried to think over everything they’d been discussing.

  They had to spend some time with the cameras on so that their crewmates could watch them. The other colonists needed to see the problems were being resolved. Most of the heat between Robert and Suz had dissipated during their short talk and the sex, which thrilled him. He’d hated to see them at odds. David thought that Robert might not ever ask that last question. It might not be necessary. Robert’s eyes followed Suz. His attitude had changed from accusing to speculative.

  That message still bothered David. The entire tone of it had been gossipy, leading and accusing. Why had Robert’s friend sent it at all? As part of the candidates for the mission, he’d know there was nothing that Robert could do at this point. The information could only cause trouble in the new relationship.

  “Problem, David?” Robert put a hand on his shoulder.

  “Just running over everything in my mind while we wait for her to get out of the shower. I’m trying to find a distraction from thinking about suds sliding over her breasts.” David grinned.

  “The same images flashed through my mind, getting more and more vivid. While I searched for something to tear my mind away from it, I noticed your frown. What’s behind it? We’ve made some good progress. Enough to get out of here, although they’ll probably keep us here for a few more days.” Robert grinned.

  David definitely wouldn’t mind staying in the room with them, but they needed to talk about the message and its sender now.

  “How well do you know the man who sent that message to you?” David asked.

  “We went to academy together and roomed together one year before the trainers transferred me into another program because of high scores on one of the tests.” Robert shrugged. “Suz hasn’t even tried to imply that the information was a lie.”

  “I’m not saying it was a lie. Everything in it, even the inferences could be true, but that wouldn’t explain why he did it. That’s why I’m asking how well you know him. Is he the type of man who simply likes to cause trouble?” Da
vid shot a scowl over at Robert. The contents of that note didn’t worry him. It never had, because he’d realized they had other priorities. From the moment they left the space dock, making this work and surviving took precedence over everything else.

  Robert’s eyes widened a little. “I never thought about why it was sent.”

  “Why what was sent?” Suz came out of the bathroom.

  She wore a blue sleeveless shirt and white shorts. The choice of colors and clothing was limited while they were on ship to the standard uniform, although he liked the way she looked in hers. That shirt clung to her skin emphasizing her full breasts.

  David’s eyes wandered down to the shorts. He wondered if a silky scrap cupped her buttocks and pussy beneath the loose cloth or if he could slip his hand down the front of them and over her warm, slick pussy without any impediment.

  He shook his head and tried to focus his thoughts. They couldn’t start anything now. The answers to his questions suddenly seemed very important.

  “The message that started all of this,” Robert said plainly. “David asked how well I know the man and why he would send it.”

  “The why question crossed my mind once or twice.” She nodded and climbed onto the bed beside Robert.

  David grinned. Robert hadn’t even blinked at revealing it. The easy disclosure definitely qualified as an improvement. They could barely be in the same room not so long ago. Now, the two of them were sitting shoulder to shoulder.

  “I never thought of it. I focused only on the contents of it.” Robert shrugged and relaxed back against the headboard. “As for how well I know him. I haven’t seen him much since academy. Maybe once or twice at functions. His studies leaned toward communications. I think I might have talked to him during the course of work a few times, but can’t be sure.”

  David grimaced. So not that well at all. He remembered his academy days. After living with someone for months, he’d thought he known everything about them. Only once or twice had he seen that they’d hidden part of themselves while they’d been living together. In the academy, almost everyone kept to their best behavior. They hoped to avoid messing up their future career with one stupid act. There were really only two paths to choose for most people. The military life or civilian life.
