Free Zara by KD Jones Page B

realized at that moment—she wanted Trig.
    She ripped his shirt open exposing his smooth dark skin .  He was warm and she felt his heart beating rapidly as she ran her hands over his chest.  Yummy .
    “ Whoa!” Trig grabbed the hands that were reaching for his pants.  “We need to slow this down.”
    She paused and looked at him with frustration and confusion .  “You don’t want me?”
    Trig snorted as he pulled her close enough so she could feel his arousal through his pants .  “Me wanting you is not a question, but the timing is off.”
    “ I don’t understand.  You want me, I want you.”
    “ Why now?  You just had an attempt on your life.  It is too soon for us to be together.”
    Zara looked shocked .  “Are you turning me down?”
    “ For right now, yes.”
    She reached down , grabbed his throbbing manhood, and squeezed him, causing him to moan.  “I have never had a male say no to me.  Ever.”
    Trig gulped .  Fuck he wanted her so badly, but he needed to do the right thing.  She just suffered a trauma.  He pushed her hand away.
    “ If you still want me in the morning, I’m all yours.  But until then, I will leave you so you can rest.” He opened the door and stepped into the hallway.  The security officer gave him a shake of his head.
    “ Man, you are an idiot,” the security officer told him.
    “ I feel like one.” Trig walked back to the elevators so he could go to his own suite.  He needed a cold shower—badly.
    *****
    What the hell?  He left.  Zara stared at the door for a while.  The male left her, turned down her offer of sex.  That had never happened to her before.  Normally males fall at her feet wanting her to ‘conquer’ them in bed.  She usually hated it when the males she did take to bed were weak.  She liked them strong, stronger than her.  What female wants a weaker male?
    But for her to offer to be with a human and he turn ed her down, it made her feel unsure.  She didn’t like the feeling at all.  A knock at her door had her turning in hope.  Maybe he changed his mind.  Well, if he did, she would have to tell him that she had changed hers too.  She opened the door on the verge of telling him that, but it wasn’t Trig at the door.
    “ Wow, you look really happy to see me.” Rachel didn’t wait to be invited inside.  She walked past Zara into her suite.
    “ Rachel.  What are you doing here?”
    “ I thought you’d like to know that Tyk has been taken into custody with the IDJ.  He’ll answer for what he did.”
    “ Thanks.”
    “ Are you okay?”
    Zara walked around her suite feeling restless, needy, and horny .  She didn’t have a lot of friends.  Maya was as close to a best friend that she had.  She needed to talk to someone, human.
    “ He didn’t want me.”
    “ What?” Rachel asked, looking at her with confusion.
    “ Trig.  I kissed him and was taking his clothes off but he said no.”
    “ What the hell?”
    “ That’s what I said.”
    “ Usually it doesn’t take much for Trig, a wink or a wiggle of a woman’s ass and he is up and going.”
    Zara growled at hearing Trig ’s easy manner with other women.  “He wanted me, I felt his arousal.”
    Okay .  “What did he say exactly?”
    “ That I have been through a lot and that if I still wanted him in the morning, he would be all up for it.”
    Rachel nodded her head with a smile.  “He was trying to be honorable.  He wants you, but he wants you when there isn’t a trauma that just occurred.”
    “ What should I do?”
    “ In the morning, if you want him, go after him.”
    *****
    Rachel had stayed another fifteen minutes before she left. The security officer would be there until morning.  Zara knew there was nothing else to do so she went to take a shower. 
    She wondered if Rachel was right .  What if he was trying to be all noble and stuff and letting her recover?  She wasn’t used to males being that way, especially humans.  That was what was
