Oh.
Her hands climbed from my chest to my neck. The feeling of her skin sliding against my own sent prickles down my spine and arms, and I nearly shuddered when her fingers slipped in my hair and pulled at the strands. She rose to her tiptoes, pushing my forehead with hers. My head tilted to the side as I stared at her, confused.What is she doing?Did she know what rubbing our foreheads together meant? Or, were we already about to butt heads until one of us caved—preferably her, so I could start fucking her into the ground as soon as her heat was here?
She closed her eyes and tilted her head until our lips brushed. Once and my tail’s grip tightened without my control. Twice andmyown hand found its way downher back while the other mirrored hers, grazing at the soft hair at her nape. Third time, our mouths actually pressed against each other and my brain went fucking blank.

Damn that man for melting the first layer of defense around my heart
Melanie
Damn, that hulk of a man learned fast.
His lips moved against my own and what I intended to be just a peck evolved into a clash of open mouths, groans, peeking tongues and nibbling lips.
That single kiss made me feel more than most of my previous sex encounters. If he didn’t feel how hard my nipples had turned through the thin fabric covering them,Icould very clearly feel the outline of what felt like a pretty monstrous and hard stick pressing against my belly.
I could never let that man fuck me, no matter how much my stupid, dripping wet pussy had ached for it the last few days.Throbbedin anticipation now.
No, no, no. I would not let another man control me with orgasms ever again. The last one had used my feelings and cravings for him and initiated the whole mess that brought me here. I’d never see the money I stole for him again, and nowIwas the one thousands of dollos in debt.
I knew I was weak. And I wouldn’t let myself fall for it again, no matter how much I wanted that green horned alien to pound into me with the massive thing I felt between his legs. I couldnotfall for him.
That would do some damage…It’s not worth it. You’ll have to be stronger than you ever were but come on, you can do it, Mel!
He groaned when I pulled back and I fuckingwhimperedlike a desperate sex-starved woman. I turned my head to the side only to see his sister had joined the other Tauris that accompanied him—their family, she had said. They all looked at us with wide eyes and dropped jaws.
“Glad to see you guys clicked,” Maxwell said, clapping his hand once. “Alrighty, let’s go over the basics before I let you continue what you nearly started here and there, but hopefully in a more private place.”
Fuck…We did make quite a show, didn’t we? I tried to take a step back but his tail tightened around my waist, pulling me impossibly closer and his throat let out a low menacing rumble. Okay…Not moving,got it.
“According to our examination, Melanie will next be the most fertile in five days.” My eyes went so wide I worried they might fall. Why was he telling peoplethat? “The average cycle of humans lasts twenty-eight days, so if it doesn't take, make sure you’re most…activeduring these periods of time.”
I glared at him and his smile was nothing but satisfied. He knew damn well I had no intention of holding my part of the deal and he made sure I knew he wasn’t going to stand by and watch me wreck this experiment for him. Considering how my—husbandhad reacted to our kiss, I now doubted he’d let me go peacefully.
Of course he wouldn’t. How could I even think for one second that he’d give up on having the first natural child indecades? His reaction was only physical. I could give him what he wanted and that was the sole reason I was here.
If I didn’t succeed in escaping him, I guess I would have to consider it. Two months. If I didn’t get away before two months, I’d give him what he wanted. Because if I got pregnant too late, it would only delay my departure. And I couldn’t let my grandmother fare for herself with absolutely no money for so long…
“Melanie.”
I jumped, suddenly pulled out of my scheming mind. Ghauro stared at me expectantly, both his hands placed firmly on my hips. My neck kinda hurt from tilting my head so far back just to look at his face—but what a handsome face it was.
Fuck, focus!
“Yes?”
“Your belongings,” he said, tilting his head to the side as his gaze absolutely pierced my soul. “Is this all there is?”
I looked at the small duffle bag in Zhari’s hand, containing the few possessions that I had—ninety percent of them provided by the space station when I arrived.
I nodded, forcing a smile. “I travel light.”
He stared at me some more, inspecting my eyes like they told him a story my lips weren’t. His hand only hesitated a second before he cupped my jaw, angling my face up so I couldn’t look away. “No more travel. You are Tauri now.” His touch burned and tingled at the same time. My weak heart wanted to lean into it, but my brain still had the upper hand.
He made me tilt my head to the side and slid a finger over the spot where the translator had been inserted just before we met. “See? Not red at all anymore. Like nothing happened,” I said. He gently pressed on it and I flinched, making him frown. “No—no, it doesn’t hurt, it’s just—it can be turned on and off if you press too hard and I had the issue yesterday and Zhari was talking and I couldn’t figure out how to turn it back on and we spent three whole hourstryingto communicate and it’s been a nightmare and so stressful and if you deactivate it and we can’t turn it back on, I don’t want to spend I don’t know how long without—”
“Breathe.” I froze. His finger was now placed on my lips,shushing me. Rude. “How did you turn it back on?”
