She was a wildfire. Every inch of her searing hot, scalding, burning him to the touch. Commander Jane Shepard was a devastating force. She was consuming him whole, as though he were just a single blade of dry grass, happily waiting to be incinerated on her destructive path. Her's was the spirit of a dragon, and it was all that Kai could do to keep up with this feral and mighty creature.
Her taste filled his mouth, a sharp sting reverberating from under his tongue as his mouth painfully watered with her slightly salted flavor. The smell of her perfume was intoxicating, maddening, putting him in a frenzy and he struggled pace himself. Jane was a delicacy to be relished and enjoyed without hurry or mindless abandon. And still it took every drop of self-control to keep from ripping off her tight black dress and claiming her then and there.
Shepard was leaned against the weapon kiosk, practically seated on the sturdy screen as she held him prisoner between her legs. Her fingernails scraped down his neck and back as Kai buried his face in the crook of her neck, biting and licking her fiery skin. Her smoky voice moaned in his ear, sending chills down his spine and making his hairs stand on end.
"Fuck," she groaned, struggling to keep still under his mouth. Shepard's breathing was hitched, fast, short breaths bursting in and out of her as she frantically pawed at his back.
Running his hand down the scorching plane of her thigh, Kai wrapped her leg around his waist, her dress riding up as he pushed himself into the fire of her body heat. A beastly, primitive force was warring inside of him, bellowing out in savage outrage that he wasn't claiming this powerful female as his own. Kai Leng was fighting against himself, his inner Mr. Hyde demanding to come out and have a taste of Jane.
When he reluctantly ripped his mouth from her neck, Shepard buried her fingers in his hair and immediately pulled his lips to hers. He could taste her desire, and was encouraged by the fact that she wanted him just as badly as he wanted her. Kai's fingers threaded through the silky hair at the nape of her neck, pinning her against his mouth. His other hand was splayed over the small of her back, forcefully pulling her pelvis toward his aching groin.
There was nothing Kai wanted more than to know this woman completely. He needed to know every inch of her, every curve, every dip, every part of her that she was willing to share with him. She was a drug. Her heat, her smell, her taste, everything about her was addicting, consuming, overpowering and Kai was feeling himself becoming completely enthralled by her. He was becoming dependant on her feverish heat, as though the fire inside of her was the sole force that gave him life.
This desire, this ache, it was maddening. Kai was being driven insane by having her in his arms and not being one with her. If Jane had been any other woman he would have already taken her every which way. He didn't know where this uncharacteristic, and unwelcome, sense of propriety had come from. It didn't matter how badly Kai wanted to dip into Jane's depths, he didn't have it in him to fuck her like she was just another woman. Shepard demanded respect in all aspects, and intimacy with her would be done right; no matter how his groin felt about it.
Refusing to pull her mouth from his, Shepard mumbled over his lips between desperate and needy kisses. "Do you… want to… get out of here…"
God yes. He nodded and managed to pull a bit away from her, his body screaming at the distance he'd forced between them. "I have a hotel room on the Presidium Commons."
She placed a hand squarely on his chest and pushed him back another step so that she could slip off of the kiosk she'd been propped up against. The fire in Jane's green eyes was enrapturing, her expression tantalizing as she bit into her lip and claimed possession of him with her gaze. Grabbing his hand as she strutted past him, she towed him towards the Spectre office's exit.
They stepped out onto the embassies and all Kai could bring himself to focus on was the bewitching sway of her hips. How did anyone aboard the Normandy get any work done? He couldn't imagine serving under her. They'd never leave her cabin, ever.
The cold Citadel air helped to cool the heat in his bloodstream, if just a bit. Jane led him all the way to the rapid transit terminal and, once the cab had been hailed, reclaimed his lips with a dominating ferocity. Their tongues battled for supremacy as they kissed. Kai Leng pulled her against him, melding her curves to his body as he claimed her lips, her mouth, her breath as his own.
Kai found himself being incomprehensibly dumbstruck by her power. He finally understood. The night with her wasn't even at its end, and he was beginning to really understand the galaxy's fascination with the commander. She was a force of nature, and for the first time in all of Kai Leng's life, he felt as though he'd met his match, his equal, a woman that could not only keep up with him but surpass him and challenge him to be greater.
He sucked her bottom lip into his mouth and tenderly bit down on the swollen flesh. A needy groan escaped her and he hungrily swallowed the muffled sound. Their cab arrived not a moment too soon. The door opened, compelling them to enter it's dimly lit depths. Without removing her lips from his, Jane backed up into the taxi. Grabbing a tight hold of the front of his shirt he tugged him in behind her.
The sky-car wasn't even moving before Jane crawled onto his lap. Oh, how easy it would be to just slip into her now. All he had to do was unzip himself and preemptively claim his prize. Kai restrained himself, tempting his resolve by keeping his touch on the outside of her dress, he filled his hands with the round of her backside, firmly gripping her ass as he fought against her dancing tongue.
Jane's fingers were in his hair as she sucked the breath right from his lungs, tugging and pulling at the black strands like she was fascinated by its length and texture. As though he wasn't ignited by her already, Shepard started to gyrate against him and Kai felt the ongoing inferno inside of him roar in outrage.
A moan ripped through him, beastly, dangerous, warning her that if she kept it up he would dismiss what little self-control he had left and fill a need he didn't even know he had until meeting her. Jane leaned back a bit, grinning in self-satisfaction at the sound of the ferocity of his desire. Annoyed, and equally aroused, that she would take pleasure in his desperation, Kai grabbed a fistful of her hair and pulled her head back, exposing her neck to him.
"Do you have any idea how badly I want you right now?" he growled, forcefully guiding her neck towards his mouth. Before tasting the soft arch of her neck, he rumbled, "Do you have any idea what you're doing to me?"
A gasp tore through her when he bit into her neck, only to lick the assaulted area and bite it again. Her nails dug into his shoulders, her hips rolling against him as she sought out what pleasure she could. "Oh my God," she cried in nonsensical delight, moving uncontrollably on his lap. "That feels so fucking good."
Kai trailed his tongue up the shape of her neck all the way to her ear. The way Jane reacted to him tasting the shell of her ear was conflicted, as though the pleasure was almost too intense for her, while also being perfect enough for her to stagger through it. Her moans of unabashed wanton filled the claustrophobic space of the sky-car's interior, provoking the crazed creature inside of him. He didn't know how much longer he could wait to have her. If they didn't reach the hotel soon, Kai would explode.
The sky-car descended, landing softly on the platform before the door popped open with a sigh. A cool breeze breathed into the small space, causing gooseflesh to emerge along Jane's pale white surface. He smirked at the sight of her puckered flesh, and gently rubbed her arms. Their gazes met and locked for a moment, a thousand words passing between them, alien emotions swirling in her green irises reflecting feelings inside of him that he didn't know how to address.
She pressed her lips against his again, this kiss somehow different than the others. Beyond the fact that it wasn't one of the deep, soul-devouring kisses they'd been exchanging all night, somehow this kiss had more meaning, a depth that he wouldn't acknowledge till much, much later. Jane moved off of his lap and allowed Kai to pay the fare before exiting the sky-car and helping her back onto her feet. She looked up at the hotel before meeting his gaze again, a wolfish smile on her swollen lips.
"I see you feel the same way about hotels as you do about offices," she joked in that smoky, sexy voice of hers. Quirking an eyebrow, Jane inquired, "Are you trying to intimidate me, Mr. Leng?"
He returned her foxy smirk and, grabbing a possessive hold of her hand, he led her past the hotel's entrance. "When it comes to where I rest my head," he replied, "I spare no expense."
Excitement grew rampant inside of him as they cut through the impressive hotel lobby towards the elevators in the back. He pressed the button to summon the lift and looked down at the fine specimen standing beside him. When she glanced up to catch his gaze, Jane was pinned in place by what she found in his features. Kai wanted her, he needed her like a dehydrated man needed water. He was done denying himself. He was so close to nirvana he could almost taste it.
The elevator doors parted with a ding and they entered the metal box hand in hand. He pressed the number for his floor, immediately returning his attention to Jane. Waiting impatiently for the doors to finally shut, the moment that they did she jumped into his arms, and Kai pinned Jane against the wall as he reclaimed her mouth, groaning in delight at the familiarity of her taste.
Fuck, she thought for the millionth time that night. Shepard was beyond language. He had successfully stolen every last drop of inhibition from her. Now, the only way she knew how to communicate was through groans, moans, and sighs of unadulterated delight. This feeling… she'd never experienced anything like this in her entire life.
Kai Leng was the embodiment of power. He was the definition of male dynamism, and Jane had never met a single person like him. She was drawn to him by a force that she couldn't pretend to understand, pulled to him like an unsuspecting plaything to a tornado. All she could do was hold on and hope that, when morning came, she'd at least remember her name.
The elevator's cold metal wall chilled her back, but she couldn't bring herself to pay the hard surface any mind. Her attention was on Kai, his taste, his scent, the way he felt against her, nothing else mattered. He was the sun and she would fly toward his warmth until her wings burst into flames.
She could feel how dangerous he was, could taste it on her tongue. It was within his power to destroy her, to dismantle her piece by piece until she was little more than his toy to play with to his heart's content. And still that only served to spur on her desire for him, her need for him. He was the answer to a question that she'd never known to ask, a question too soul deep to be asked in words.
A ding sounded and it took a second for either of them to realize that they'd made it to his floor. He took a reluctant step back, releasing her lips from his, allowing her to fall back onto her feet and hold herself up on shaky legs. Straightening out her tight dress, Shepard looked up at Kai and immediately had her breath stolen from her lungs.
That look was dangerous, it was predatory. Kai was plotting, she could tell by his enrapturing gaze that he had dark and wicked plans for her. The second that they were alone, without the prying eyes of onlookers or security cameras, she was his and his alone. Jane swallowed hard, excitement and anticipation shooting like adrenaline through her bloodstream.
He led her to down the hall to his room and, stopping in front of the door, kept his eyes on her as he unlocked the door. A hiss sounded from the entryway as it slid open, revealing a finely furnished room inside. Her nervousness grew, unreasonably so. It wasn't that Shepard didn't know what awaited her past that threshold, because she did and was excited to experience Kai in the comfort of his domain. What gave her pause was this feeling of change. Something was going to be different by the end of the night, and Jane didn't know what.
When Kai gestured for her to enter the room she hesitated for only a second longer before deciding that whatever change awaited her was worth the cost. If she only ever got a single night with him, she would accept whatever consequences followed suit. Stepping into the hotel room's cold air, she walked a few paces in before stopping and turning to face the man who laid claim to this domicile.
Door sliding shut behind him, the lack of hallway light left his room painted with a slightly menacing shadow. His gaze didn't break from hers as he strode into his room toward the dark leather armchair in the corner. Shrugging out of his vest, Kai meticulously folded it over his arm before setting it down on the back of the chair.
The deep, dominating sound of his voice sent chills down her spine when he finally spoke. "Take off your boots." He instructed, waiting patiently for her to do as she was told before he also kicked off his shoes.
Shepard bit down on her lip, excitement glittering through her like sparklers. Never before had anyone talked to her like that. There was always someone higher ranking than her, addressing her as their subordinate, but this was different. This wasn't military hierarchy, Kai wasn't her superior, and still he'd addressed her as though she were his belonging. He was looking at her like she was his possession, the one he valued above all else, and he wanted her boots off.
Bending over just so, she gave him a generous view of her backside as she unzipped her boots and freed her feet from the tight black leather. The carpet was soft between her toes, a welcome change from her heels as she waited for further instructions. Her breath hitched when Kai stalked toward her, his movements slow while he gave her an appreciative once over.
"Don't move," his husky, tenor voice whispered against her temple. Heat rushed south by the bucketful, his proximity enraged the inferno of desire already burning wildly inside of her.
Kai's touch was featherlight as he traced over her surface. The caress of his skin against her was curious, explorative. The calloused pads of his long, masculine digits trailed down the length of her arm to her wrist, leaving goosebumps in his wake. Grabbing a gentle hold of her wrist, Kai lifted her knuckles to his mouth and held her gaze as he pressed a kiss to her hand.
She lifted her free hand, wanting to feel the stubble lining his jaw, but that was exactly the wrong thing to do. The second she moved, Kai moved faster, her short hair in his fist, head pulled back, neck exposed to him. "Don't." he growled ferally. "Move."
A needy moan whined out of her. Though aggressive, nothing about the way he was handling her was painful. Kai was asserting his dominance over this encounter, and she was an eager participant, happy to find out exactly how far he wanted to go.
Aside from biting sharply into her lip, Jane didn't move. Satisfied that she wouldn't disobey him a second time, Kai released her hair and allowed her to relax again. He walked around her, not stopping until he was standing directly behind her. She could feel her hairs standing on end, reaching desperately for Kai's touch as his warm breath caressed over her shoulder.
He brushed aside her red hair, kissing the curve of her neck before licking all the way up to her ear lobe. The groan that sounded from her was loud, desperate, an admission to her fleeting self-control. As he nibbled on her ear, Kai fiddled with the zipper holding her dress together and casually pulled it down. His movements were slow, unhurried, testing both her willpower and patience. She wanted him, she wanted him now, but he was taking his sweet ass time.
Once she was unzipped, he slid his warm hands under the loosened fabric and slipped the dress from her shoulders. The black dress fell unceremoniously to the carpet, pooling around her bare feet, leaving her standing before him in nothing but her undergarments. She struggled against the urge to rub her arms against the cool air circulating in the room, knowing that, should she move again, she would get reprimanded by the powerful man watching her closely.
Circling around her again, Kai's gaze was heavy as he admired her body and Shepard straightened her spine, proud of her hard earned physique. This was hardly her first sexual encounter, far from it actually, and still she felt a flutter of virgin-like jitters about what would happen next.
Kai was so vastly different from all of her previous sexual partners. He was forceful, assertive, he wanted her and wasn't shy to make it known. There wasn't this strained, socially enforced etiquette about their relationship. He hadn't wasted time courting or wooing her. Kai knew what he wanted, and how he wanted it, and all she had to do was be willing to go along for the ride. Shepard was more than willing.
He followed the line of her curves, pausing at her generous bust before meeting and holding her gaze again. The shine in his eyes was wild, territorial, this room was his and she was standing in it, making her his as well, and Shepard couldn't bring herself to mind at all. When he spoke again the sound of his deep and rumbling voice was like a jolt straight to her core.
"Undress me," he instructed, a hint of a smirk twitching at the corner of his mouth.
Jane swallowed, feeling a wave of delirium crash over her. Taking a deep breath, she reached up to him and carefully traced the soft fabric of his tanktop. She could feel his body heat through the material of his top, tempting her to hurry and get the man naked so that they could finally get down to the nitty-gritty.
Her hands glided down the front of his shirt all the way to the hem. Grabbing onto the bottom of his tanktop, Shepard pulled the cloth up, exposing his glorious torso the her until it was completely removed from his person. Her breath was stolen from her as she stared at him. Kai Leng was pure muscle mass without even a fraction of a percentage of bodyfat. He was rippling pectorals, ropes of unbelievably defined abdominal muscles, and this mouthwatering V that guided her wide eyes to the bulge of his arousal.
He sucked in a sharp breath when she touched him with her cold fingers. Shepard was spellbound by the sight of him, entranced as she traced every curve and dip with religious reverence. No wonder Kai was the arrogant creature that he was, this level of perfection demanded a certain kind of self-worship. Kai's body was a temple, and it was time for communion.
Fingers trailing all the way down to his waistband, she glanced up and met his lust darkened gaze. She didn't look away from him as she unbuckled his belt and undid his pants, allowing them to slide down a bit from the lack of support. Jane broke his gaze to glance down and her breath got caught in her throat. A neediness constricted her airway, it was like pouring gasoline onto a raging fire. The sight of him filling out his briefs so delectably was explosive.
Falling to her knees, Jane pulled down Kai's pants, underwear and all, and bit her lip as she looked back up at him. Kai had not been joking when he claimed to not be overcompensating. There was a predatory smile on his lips, acknowledging her surprise of his endowment with uninsulted amusement. He combed his fingers through her bangs, a wordless invitation to go ahead and have a taste. And Shepard had to admit that she was salivating with curiosity as to how he would fit in her mouth.
Aware that her fingers were not yet warm enough to stroke him, she held onto his muscular thighs as she lowered her mouth onto him. Kai hissed away from the pleasure of her tongue slipping down his length, his fingers in her hair as he encouraged her to continue. He tasted like a man, his scent filling her nose as she bobbed her head on his member. Shepard could feel every inch of him as she guided him to and away from the back of her throat, swallowing him whole just to hear the almost pained sound of his moan.
She was going to be his undoing. Jane was going to single-handedly ruin him. The feeling of her mouth surrounding him, it was… eye opening, it was disorienting. Kai was having an incredibly difficult time stringing a thought together while she plunged his manhood into the volcanic depths of her mouth. If she kept it up he would fall apart at the seams right then and there, over before it ever truly began.
Not wanting to be the first one to reach euphoria, Kai held her head between his hands and stopped Jane from taking him back into her mouth. When she looked up at him, confusion in her sexy, smoldering green eyes, he curtly instructed her to, "Get on the bed. Now."
Jane took her bottom lip between her teeth before standing to do as she was told. She drove him crazy when she looked at him like that, like she was expecting him to break at any moment and start pleading for the pleasure of fucking with her until she could no longer walk. It was taking all of his willpower to maintain his dominant persona, slowly pacing their progress at the rate that he was.
Telling Jane what to do, commanding over her as though she were his most beloved belonging, it was the only way that he knew to keep her from destroying him completely. This temporary control of her could only ever be implemented sexually, and it was the single thing protecting him from her.
Nervous anticipation gathered inside of him. Kai felt as though he were about to face the first meaningful crucible of his life. Once the Citadel's faux dawn gave light to another day, he would wake a new man and it was because of Commander Shepard.
Never in all of his life had a bed looked equal parts inviting and terrifying as when Jane was laying on top of it, perched up on her elbows as she waited for his next move. Feeling as though his female counterpart was overdressed, he climbed onto the bed after her and met her lips with his. As they kissed, tongues swaying, twirling, and dancing against each other, he unhooked her bra and brushed the straps from her shoulders.
There was a foxy grin on Shepard's lips as she removed the bra and laid topless beneath him. For a second, he forgot how to breathe. Jane's body was a work of art. Her breasts were full, perky, her pink nipples pearled in greeting, begging for his attention. She had the kind of body that was earned over years of physical training, her muscles pronounced, defined, strong yet unarguably feminine. Ancient sculptors from centuries past would have killed for the privilege of immortalizing her gorgeous figure, though Kai doubted that anyone could ever truly capture her beauty.
He sought out her lips again, needing to taste her on his tongue while his hand wandered in exploration of her incredible body. Roaming from the arch of her neck to the swell of her breasts, he massaged and played with each one, kneading her soft skin before taking her hardened nipples between his fingers and pinching them softly. The gasp that cut past her clenched teeth was encouraging, letting him know that he'd done exactly the right thing.
His attention remained on her breasts for a short while as he enjoyed her body writhing underneath his. When she was revved up enough, he set out to scope the planes of her body again. A giggle sounded from her when he tickled over the sensitive skin of her lower abdominals, just above the waistband of her sexy, lacy panties.
Heart fluttering at the delightful sound of her laughter, he pressed a tender kiss to her shoulder as his fingers slid under the hem of her underwear and felt the wet heat of her arousal. A grin spread over his mouth with the feeling of her slickness, she was just as wet as he was hard, and it was comforting to know that she needed him as desperately as he needed her.
Her back bowed when he glided over her petals and found the swollen nub hidden at her seam. Jane had a firm grip on his shoulder, her voice was a mindless whisper when she ground out his name. "Oh, Kai," she groaned. "That feels so good."
"Do you like this, Jane?" he asked rubbing her sex with a reverent gentleness reserved for the religious. When she whined out a needy yes, he asked again, "Do you like it when I touch you like this?" before dipping his finger into her core. The only response she was able to articulate was another moan, her fingers tightening on his shoulder as she cried out in blissful delight.
Removing his hand from her nether-regions, Kai looked at his soaked fingers before looking back at Shepard and grinning. He moved his hand toward her face and told her to, "Taste yourself, Jane. Taste how badly you want me."
There were flames behind her green eyes, a dangerous dragonfire that warned him to enjoy his games while they lasted, because they wouldn't last much longer. Sucking his fingers clean, she hummed as though she were the best thing she'd ever tasted. Once he freed his fingers from between her lips, she smiled at him and said, "It's impolite to leave a lady wanting, Mr. Leng."
A grin expanded over his face. Shepard had lost her patience with him. She wanted him too badly to wait for his next orders and hope that they were to remove the last of her underwear. Deciding that he too was ready to get to the good part, Kai kneeled on the bed and stared down at the masterpiece laying expectantly on his bed.
Hooking his fingers through her underwear, Kai pulled off her lacy panties and threw them over his shoulder. He took a moment to appreciate the beauty splayed out before him, feeling his member twitch in delight at the sight laying in wait.
Kai grabbed Jane by the thighs and tugged her towards him, smiling at the sound of her surprised yelp. He stroked his length before moistening himself on her silky folds. Looking up to meet Jane's feverish gaze, they shared an intense moment that he couldn't begin to understand. Kai felt like a piece of himself was reaching out to her, a smoky whisper seeking her out in exchange for a mirroring piece of herself. Blinking, he dismissed the intimacy of the moment, and returned his focus to the carnal need to be inside of her.
He leaned forward, holding himself up on an elbow as he inched himself into her core. Kai shut his eyes, unable to breathe past the pleasure gathering painfully at the base of his spine. Her sheath was tight and scorching hot around him, threatening to undo him before he even moved against her.
After several deep and calming breaths he trusted himself to carry on without finding his end prematurely. Jane's arms were wrapped around his neck, securing him against her as he started to pump. Finding his rhythm, Kai leaned back a bit to get the best angle and was rewarded by a loud, thirsty moan. Her nails dug into his shoulder blades, dragging down with each of his thrusts.
All he could feel was her heat, her inner fire. Kai was being swallowed up by her, turned to ash, dust to be blown away by a gentle wind. She was mind numbing, erasing everything but his need for her, his desire to be one with her, a desperate and growing belief that without her he could no longer draw breath. While a large part of him was scared of this feeling sprouting inside of him, he could only bring himself to pay attention to the part that was angered by the same.
He'd gone to Flux earlier that night to meet Shepard, to gauge her worth as a person and discover if the fandom around her had any merit. He had not gone to be put under her spell, to be enamored by her like another one of her obsessed followers. Yet here he was, sucked in and spellbound, a slave to her whims, whose only purpose was to give her satisfaction.
Pulling her leg over his shoulder, Kai and Jane both groaned out by the blessed feel of this new position. Her core hugged him tighter like this, his member rubbing against her in all of the right places. Kai could feel the white heat pooling at the base of his spine, simmering like lava waiting to erupt from a restless volcano. He was at his crescendo and could tell by her tightening core that she was also near climax.
He reached down to where their bodies met, where they were melded into one and found the bead of hypersensitive nerve endings. Rubbing her swollen nub, Kai lavishly escorted her over the edge, shoving her into a violent orgasm that had her shuddering against him. Her core pulsated around him, the snug compressions milking him as the pool of fire gathered in his depths finally spilled out inside of her.
Kai fell onto the bed beside Jane, breathless in wake of his riveting release. Never before had he experienced a climax as intense as the one he'd just shared with Jane. If he hadn't been addicted to her before, then he sure as hell was now. She was worse than the purest redsand, she was a poison and an antidote all in one, and without her Kai would deteriorate to nothing.
Their heavy breaths filled the hotel room as they both tried to calm their racing hearts. Kai looked over at Jane and grinned when he found her already gazing at him. He took her hand in his and brought her knuckles to his lips. Pressing a long kiss to her hand, he muttered, "That was fun."
She grinned at him, her eyes shining with an emotion he couldn't name but could identify inside of himself. "Yeah," she agreed. "Let's do it again sometime."
Her smile was too bright and too beautiful to stand alone. He couldn't wipe the simper from his lips even if he wanted to. "Give me a minute to catch my breath." said Kai, his smile growing at the amused quirk to her eyebrow. "And 'sometime' will happen sooner than you know."
Jane pulled herself nearer to him and nuzzled his neck. The heat of her breath summoned goosebumps to his surface as she purred, "Maybe I can help the process along." and trailed her fingers down his chest.
Shutting his eyes to relish the feel of her warm hands tracing down his torso, Kai couldn't fight the warm feeling spreading inside of him. He doubted that, after tonight, he'd have the mind to let her leave his bed ever again.
