Lihvan went quiet, his gaze burning into hers.After a lengthy pause, he said quietly, “My family died a long time ago.I have no brothers or sisters.I have no mate.I do not have much to lose by offering my life in place of others who have those bonds.”
Her heart twisted again.This guy blew every human man she knew out of the water.He was just so…noble.Beks didn’t think that she deserved him, to be honest.
She sat up on her elbow, even though the hard rocky floor dug into her flesh.He looked up at her as Beks traced the elegant lines of his features and the imperfectness of his scars, which she thought gave him an attractive and irresistible edge.His hair was a dark brown and fell across his shoulders.It was soft and straight.Any Earth girl would envy his hair.
His muscles were generous and had no doubt taken years of hard work to hone and perfect.His body made her mouth water as her eyes trailed over him, getting distracted briefly by the crown of his magnificent cock that was still peeking up at her through his waistband.
One of his horns was chipped, and now that she knew touching them turned him on, she planned to do so at every available opportunity until he let her pleasure him.
“I want to kiss you,” she breathed, her hair falling over her shoulder as she leaned down slightly.When his gaze darkened and flickered to her lips, she smiled and whispered, “Do Luxirians kiss?”
“Nix,” he grunted, voice deepening with arousal.“But I have seen the Prime Leader do it with his human mate.”
Right, she’d almost forgotten about the ‘human mate.’Beks was intensely curious about how a pairing like that worked on his planet, but she would ask him about it later.Right now, she wanted to show him the simple, wonderful pleasure of an innocent kiss.Or, perhaps, a not-so-innocent kiss…
Beks murmured, her voice husky, “Do you want to kiss me?”
Lihvan growled and heat rose from his body like a furnace.“Tev.”
Beks lips parted, her eyelids going half-lidded, and then she leaned down.Lightly, as they shared breath, she brushed her lips across his full ones.Just a little tease of a kiss.Then she gave his lower lip a small suckle, tasting herself, and Lihvan inhaled sharply.
Her hair curtained around them as she deepened it.His mouth moved against hers, quickly learning the subtle, intricate dance of kissing.And when she stroked her tongue against his, he groaned, soon rewarding her efforts with a swipe of his own.That tongue, with its ridges, was glorious and while Beks had always been a fan of kissing…a part of her worried that she mightneedit when it came to Lihvan, like food or water or touch.She’d just begun kissing him and she never wanted to stop.Just the thought of stopping filled her with restlessness.
Soon, they repositioned themselves into a more comfortable position.Lihvan sat up, with his back against the wall of the cave, with Beks straddling his lap.She twined her arms around his neck while his snaked down her back, resting on the swell of her ass.It was a possessive touch that drove her absolutely wild.And they kissed…and kissed…and kissed until their gasps filled their echo-y cave and Beks lips felt swollen from her alien’s attentions.
Just before things began to escalate, they stopped to catch their breaths.Lihvan’s cock was swollen and throbbing between her thighs and he groaned as she rocked against him.She nibbled at his ear, sucking on the smooth flesh, and she felt his body shudder.
His words returned to her, floating in her mind, and before she knew it, she was whispering into his ear, “If you were mine, I’d want you to be selfish.”
His gaze burned into her and then his lips were hot on her own.Roughly, he murmured back, “If you were mine, I would have every reason to be,luxiva.”

Throughout the night, following the aftermath of their spine-tingling, intense, erotic make-out sesh, Lihvan would wake her with his tongue between her legs, as if he hadn’t already had his fill.And she’d lose herself all over again.
She lost count how many times that talented tongue brought her to orgasm.The night, while bitterly cold, was an endless stream of pleasure and touch and the memory of Lihvan’s hot skin against her own.
Morning came to soon, as far as she was concerned, but she woke up refreshed and with a small smile on her face.Not even her sore back from sleeping on the rock could kill her good mood.But a night full of orgasms could do that to a girl.
Lihvan was working at something over the fire and when she shifted to sit up, his gaze was immediately drawn to her.The air in the cave went thick and he started doing that purring growl she’d come to love.The sound was a full-proof way to turn her on.
“I have meat for you, female,” he rumbled.
Immediately, her mind went to a dirty place and she bit her lip, her gaze straying to his perpetual hard-on.Even though Lihvan was a generous lover—amorethan generous lover—he’d refused to let her reciprocate, no matter how many times she’d attempted to get her hands on him the night before.She didn’t even think he’d orgasmed last night.At all.It had frustrated her in the moment, but he’d quickly distracted her with other, more pleasurable things.
Lihvan made a chuffing noise in the back of his throat when he saw where she was looking.With a jerk of his head, he elaborated, “Food.”
Beks’ eyebrows jerked up and immediately, at the mention of food, her stomach rumbled.So that was what that smoky smell was.When she managed to drag her eyes off Lihvan—that alien was the flame to her moth—and focused on the fire, she gasped.There was some sort of animal or bird, the size of a large turkey, roasting on a spit.
“Where did you get that?” she asked, her voice scratchy from sleep and the numerous screams that had sounded around their cave during the night.
“On a hunt,” he said.“Do not worry.I made sure no creature approached the cave.”
“You hunted this?Just now?”How long had she been asleep?
Then she noticed it was warm in their alcove, which meant the sun was probably long up.Apparently, she’d slept like a log.
“Earlier,” he purred, “while you were resting.”
