Connection

By Cora Zane

Gage Davenport is a cybernetic vampire, an AI designed to feed off various energy forms—mechanical, kinetic, and sexual. In charge of critical systems maintenance aboard the Stargazer Orbital Community, he's used to having unrestricted access to whatever his heart desires.

Kiri Harmon loves that she and Gage can feel each other's pleasure during sex. It's those tantalizing moments when he slips his fangs into her neck ports that keep her coming back for more. From the start she knew Gage expected a no-strings attached relationship, the trouble is she never anticipated that his electrifying bite would grant him full access to her heart.

Now that Gage knows her most closely guarded secret, Kiri can’t bring herself to face him. But Gage won't be denied. He has a secret, too. He’s found more than just sexual satisfaction with Kiri. He’s discovered the ultimate connection—and he intends to prove it once he’s back in her bed.

Kiri Harmon moved six drinks from her serving tray onto the reflective black tabletop, but no one seated in the plush, oversized booth appeared to notice. The three couples went on kissing and grinding, their hands groping, their bodies writhing in a sensual dance that seemed to mirror the throb of electronic music swirling through the night club.

As she stood waiting for one of the VIPs to notice her, Kiri settled her gaze on the large blond man seated closest to her. He went on flicking his tongue over his date’s hard nipples, giving his complete attention to one round breast before moving on to the other.

The raven-haired beauty sitting topless across his lap held on to him so tightly her plutonium-silver nails dug into his muscular shoulders and crinkled his crisp, white shirt. Kiri looked down and saw why. The blond man’s hand worked beneath the woman’s sequined micro-skirt, his motions leaving nothing to the imagination. He didn’t even try to hide what he was doing to her.

The woman undulated against his hand, seeking more, working her hips to meet every teasing stroke of his fingers.

While Kiri watched, the woman’s soft mewling noises grew breathy and deep. Just as her hazy, lust-filled brown gaze found Kiri, she shuddered on the man’s lap in a violent orgasm.

Ooh…

The raw heat in the woman’s eyes, combined with the husky tone of her voice, sent an unexpected tremor of desire coursing through Kiri’s veins. She tried to turn her attention elsewhere, but she couldn’t make herself look away from the couple’s erotic display.

At last the woman caught his busy hand and rested her flushed cheek against the man’s pale hair. Her glossy lips parted in awe. So good, baby. You did so good.

The man rewarded her with a slow, deep kiss that took longer than Kiri would’ve liked.

Upon breaking away, he looked up at Kiri with hooded eyes. She might’ve believed he’d just now noticed her standing there, if not for his smug expression.

With his gaze locked on hers, he withdrew his fingers from the woman’s cunt and sucked them into his mouth before resting his arm along the back of the booth. What can I do for you, sweetheart?

Tip her, the raven-haired woman said, rubbing her flushed face against his hair. She’s waiting.

The man’s dark gaze told Kiri he’d like to tip her, but not in the way the woman was suggesting. His gaze traveled over her lean body in a searing appraisal, skimming over her furry boot-toppers and striped thigh-highs, then higher to the diamond resting in the hollow of her pierced bellybutton. It was the dual connection ports near the base of her throat, however, that captured his attention. She
