“You don’t have a choice in the matter.It is simple.You either get me on some kind of birth control, or you use some type of alien condom,” she said, looking down at his erect cock poking out of the bathing pool between them, “forthatbig guy.”
“Condom?” he repeated, his language implant feeding him information about the unfamiliar word.“Human males actually wear thesecondoms?”
“Yes.”
“We do not have those, female.”
“Then I want some kind of birth control.Do you have that at least?”
Vaxa’an inhaled slowly.“Tev.At the labs.”
She relaxed against him.“Good.This is important to me, Vaxa.”
Patience, he thought, letting go of his disappointment.He would still win her over.Getting her pregnant would just need to wait until she decided to stay on Luxiria.
“I…am very attracted to you,” she admitted softly.A purr started in his chest, his heart pumping a little faster.“You make me feel…” she shook her head and gave him a soft smile.“Even after all of this…I know what I want.And I want to experience sex with you even if I’m here for just a little while.But getting pregnant will just complicate things.You understand that, right?Given our agreement?”
Vaxa ran his palms up her waist, letting the water soak into her exposed skin.He brushed the pads of his thumbs over her plump nipples, hearing her small gasp.
“Luxirians rank honor very highly,” he started.“We do have an agreement.If you still wish to leave by the end of the lunar cycle, when our moon is full and bright in the sky…then I will honor our deal.But I am the Prime Leader, Kat.I am used to hard work, if it means getting exactly what I want.And I must warn you…I will do everything in my power to convince you to stay, female.” With his other hand, he ran a finger between her thighs, pushing inside of her, feeling her walls clench around him.He growled, “Anythingin my power.I mean that.”
“Bring it on,” she murmured, but her voice was breathless and she unintentionally rocked her hips into his hand.
“I intend to bring it all,” he purred.
FIFTEEN
Kate woke before Vaxa for once.Perhaps it was the result of nerves, given that today was the mating ceremony.She still didn’t quite know what that involved, but…she’d find out soon.
The bed was the most comfortable bed she’d ever slept in.And the largest.It needed to accommodate a seven-foot alien with massive bulk, after all.Massive bulk she was currently snuggled up against.She had never been a cuddler with Peter.They’d slept on opposite sides of the bed and kept to their own schedules.
But with Vaxa…she was draped over him like his own personal human blanket.It was like her body subconsciously sought him out throughout the night.Her cheek was pressed against one of his pectorals, using his bicep as her pillow.The metal piercing through his nipple glinted as the first shards of light beamed through their window.
She’d meant to ask him about the piercings, she remembered.Last night, she’d wondered about them, as she watched him bathe after their discussion.Her blatant appreciative gaze led to other, more pleasurable things, and her question had been lost.She lightly touched his nipple, studying the way the light reflected on his skin, its iridescent quality mesmerizing her.
“Female,” he rasped, making her jump in surprise.“Do you need to be pleasured?”
What a question first thing in the morning…
Kate bit back a smile, recovering from her shock.“No.I was just wondering about these,” she murmured, lightly touching his nipple.
He made a grunting noise, a somewhat disappointed grunting noise, like he’d wanted her to say yes.
“Do all Luxirians have them?”
“Nix, not all,” he murmured.He sounded positively sinful with his morning voice and he shifted his arm from underneath her to flex it above his head, stretching.A flood of arousal shot to her core, as she watched those finely honed, corded muscles flex under his skin.He looked down at her, clearly aware that she was turned on, and he turned on his side, his impossibly thick, ridged cock pressing into her thigh.“Are you certain, my Kat?” he asked again.
“Yes,” she said, on the verge of a damngiggle.“Tell me about your piercings.”
He lifted his shoulder, a Luxirian version of a shrug, she guessed.“It is tradition, once we complete military training.An old tradition.To be honest, I am not sure why it is one.”
“Wow, you don’t know something for once,” she teased.
His smile made butterflies swarm in her stomach.“Just this once.”
Arrogant male.She loved it.
“Come,” he said.“This span we must visit with Privanax.And I have final preparations to make.We will be gone for a few spans.Keriva will bring another finished covering for you after the first meal.Not like you will need it.”
