Always.
Determined to satisfy Micah’s latest fantasy, I resonated again, this time from where I was lodged inside him, letting himfeelexactly how deeply my love for him ran.
Beyond the stars.
Knowing he was close, I increased my pace, massaging his p-spot with my tendril until he was sobbing, shuddering, spilling—until I felt his pleasure like it was my own, until I no longer knew where he ended and I began.
Now, we are perfect.
I waited until he’d come down from his orgasm to detach myself from theOpertum,gather his clothes, and star hop my mate to the sleeping pod.
Our nest.
“Don’t go…” he mumbled sleepily, grabbing a tendril before I could hop back to the closet for my Earthling form. “Let me just… pretend I’m a True Stellarian like you for a little while longer…”
I didn’t want to ruin the moment by asking what he meant. Instead, I allowed him to pull my true form close, marveling over how he never saw me as a monster—how he’d always accepted every part of me.
Inside and out.
Until we return to the stars.

“Are you ready, babygirl?”
“Is that a rhetorical question, Space Daddy?” I smirked up at the Stellarian-powered Transformer towering over me. “Since you could technically check for yourself now.“
I hope he didn’t. The truth was, Ididn’tfeel ready to dismantle shields I hadn’t created. Both Leeloo and Ziggy seemed to think I could do anything an Eki could, however, so I was willing to at least give it a try.
Do or do not…
OpertumZiggy chuckled with a sound like a rumbling motorcycle engine. “Just because Icanread your thoughts whenever I want doesn’t mean I’ll do so without your permission.”
We stan a consent king.
I appreciated that and planned to give him the same respect, but I couldn’t resist a little tease. “Oh? So youwon’tbe snooping for clues during those times when you forget how to human?“
Ziggy cocked his enormous metal head and gazed down at me. “There may be times I need to check in without asking, but I will do my best to save that for emergencies only.”
What my man considered an emergency was up for debate, judging by how he’d gone scorched earth on Ekistron when he couldn’t find me for two whole minutes, but I usuallyliked how protective he was.
Ireallyliked having more of him inside me. It was comforting, like a sentient security blanket, an ever-present reminder my stellar collision was a permanent part of me now and always would be.
Glancing at the Lodger, I nervously chewed my bottom lip. “Do you really think it’s a good idea to leave Pedro on the ship? I mean, I know SWOL-E is in there with them, but what if?—”
“Pedro will be fine, sunshine,“ Ziggy replied far too quickly.
I narrowed my eyes. “Are you saying that because you’re worried about aLacertusgetting their claws on them… or is it about something else?”
Unfortunately, the giant robot alien I was attempting to stare down from far below had an even better poker face than Ziggy in Earthling form.
“Pedro will be safest on the ship,” my man sneakily skirted the question. “Now, why don’t you get inside me?”
Sir!
I dropped my head back with a groan, channeling all my incredibly impressive powers intonotgetting a boner. “You really don’t play fair, Zig, but you’re probably right…” I turned my back on the ship before refocusing on my newest party trick.
