Dark Colony 1

SEX OR SUFFER

 

Devastated to discover she harbors the SOS virus, medical researcher, Dr. Penelope Drake hires Captain Gray Wyckoff to take her across the galaxy to the cure on Parsec Five. As Penelope fights for a permanent remedy to cure this monstrous disease, the deplorable question in her mind repeats: How did she contract the virus in the first place?

Captain Gray Wyckoff burns every bridge he's ever built to get Penelope there, only to find she can't deliver the payment she's promised. Serving as her temporary sexual cure along the way only adds to his feelings of betrayal. He thought he loved her. Now he's not sure he can forgive her. Love her? Leave her? The choice between sex or suffering has never been so hard to make.

Especially when he has to watch her have sex with another man.

 

Sensuality Rating: SCORCHING

"Being a romantic at heart, my favorite stories are those where love is discovered between a hero and heroine and the ultimate struggles they face to be together. Why then would a woman decide to sleep with two different men? That provocative question began this book and my answer came in the form of a virus called Sex or Suffer. Enjoy." ~ Lara

ADULT EXCERPT

 

Penelope got to her feet and crossed to the facilities. Once inside she washed her face and studied her appearance. The image reflected in the mirror above the sink displayed her features, but she barely recognized herself. Stress regarding this bold plan already took its toll in the worry lines around her eyes. Vanity became another useless indulgence in this tense plan.

She took a quick shower for something to do and contemplated which of the seven varieties of pre-packaged meals she’d consume next as she dried her hair. She slipped back into her camisole and put a new pair of panties on.

When she returned to the main room she sniffed the air. Something smelled really good. It was as if the ebony darkness of the blackout had left behind a shadowy delicious scent for her to savor.

What was that? She inhaled deeply once again.

It smelled so magnificent she wanted to discover the source and bury her face in whatever it was. She sniffed the air here and there trying to find the trail to the elusive scent. The search led her to the bed she’d abandoned and then to the vent above. Standing on her tiptoes, after climbing up on the mattress and with hands pressed flat against the wall for balance, Penelope took a deep breath of the breeze coming from the air duct vent.

Ah. Delicious.

There was something scrumptious in the next room and she wanted more. Much more. After quick consideration she determined the scent likely came from a delectable man.

Time to find him and get acquainted.

Penelope leapt off the bed, skipped across the room and hit the button to unlock the door. Once out in the hallway, she followed her nose to the room next door.

She pushed the button, seeking entrance, and door slid open to admit her instantly into a semi-darkened room as if she were expected. Grateful that the way inside to find the delicious man hadn’t been locked, Penelope quickly crossed the threshold, closed and locked the door behind her and took another deep lungful of luscious manly aroma.

The overwhelming scent of soap, cologne and this man’s lingering raw masculinity rushed into her lungs. The unique fragrance carried through to the very marrow of her bones, touching every nerve in her body along the way with a tingle thrumming her basest desire. Her pussy came alive, demanding unfathomable pleasure as the man on the bed stirred awake. A golden lock of his hair gleamed in the near darkness from a narrow shaft of light in the room.

Half lifting his wide shoulders from the bed, the man turned and shot a drowsy look over one shoulder. A voice gruff with sleep said, “Who are you and what are you doing in my quarters?”

Time to get his clothes off and introduce herself properly. She pulled her camisole over her head and flung it across the room. “I’m Penelope, and I’ve come to fuck you.”

 

                                                      * * * *

 

Gray had experienced some wild dreams in his past, but the one currently playing out had to be the most outrageous.

I’m Penelope, and I’ve come to fuck you,” she’d said and flung off her skimpy shirt, which went sailing through the air in the direction of his dresser, revealing the most beautiful set of breasts he’d ever had the pleasure to see naked. Flawlessly molded round globes, sure to fit perfectly in his hands should the opportunity arise to touch them, currently bounced across the room towards him like a private fantasy come to life.

The dim light of his room didn’t afford him the detailed pleasure of her nipples, but since she’d started strolling to his bed, he imagined he was about to see them up close and personal in mere seconds.

“Is this a joke?” he muttered as his cock, already stiff with after-slumber arousal, pulsed, hopefully.

“No. And we need to hurry.” She hooked her thumbs into the barely-there scrap of panty fabric covering her mound, bent at the waist and shucked those off as well. Her body popped straight again and those perfect breasts bounced closer and closer, making his mouth suddenly water.

“Why do we have to hurry again?” Gray flipped his legs over the side of his bed as she took the final steps to meet him in all her nude glory. And she was glorious.

She lowered her beautiful face until it was even with his. “Because I burn for you. Please. I need to fuck you. Right now.” Her eyes stared straight through him, but the glassy sheen gave her aqua gaze a distant aura. As if she didn’t see the view directly before her eyes.

Gray stood carefully as she straightened with him remaining very close. He grabbed her slim shoulders as she proceeded to press the full length of her delectable body against him. In the next instant, her fingers unerringly found the stiff length of his cock and squeezed her fist around him like some seductive test of endurance. Even through the fabric layer of his clothing, unabashed pleasure spiked from his shaft, and urgent desire rippled outwardly to every part of his body.

He grunted, “Wait.” The prickle of desire she elicited in his cock almost overrode his level-headed danger signal of a strange woman being in his room ready to fuck his brains out.

“I can’t wait.” She gripped his cock tighter through the flight suit he hadn’t bothered to take off before falling into bed. With her titan grip on his cock, he didn’t notice her other hand had located the zipper. Not until he heard the sound of the opening zipping down his front and felt the air on his chest.

She released her hold on his cock only to slip her hand beneath the fabric of his now wide open flight suit to grab his shaft with the most unbelievably soft hand he’d ever had caressing his privates.

“God almighty!” A roar followed those two words, wrenched from his lips when she fell to her knees. Gray got a millisecond of warning before her hot, wet mouth closed over the end of his cock and blissful suction progressed.
