she moaned. “Holy hell, Kester, what are you doing?” A small grin appeared on his face. He watched as a deep pink flush rose on his beloved. There was no denying what he wanted… what he needed. But still, he needed to consider her truest desires. He would ask her again before taking her. But once he had entered her, she would be his. Forever.
“I wanted to possess you since the moment I first held you, from the moment I took you into my ship. But are you sure... is this what you really want, Nadia? Once we do this... we’ll be bonded for life. And I can’t guarantee that I’ll always be able to protect you. Not like I did during the attack.” She took his face in her hands. His beard had filled in on the journey from Earth to Gemna. Even though he had slept much of the way there, lines of worry were etched on his face. As she touched him, she knew it was worry that had been focused on her... from the very beginning. She closed her eyes, this time tapping into his thoughts. He opened them to her, showing her a future where the two of them were together, fully mated, traveling together among the star systems of Astria. He communicated that there might be danger, for them and for their children. But that there would always be love. It’s what he had to offer.
“Then take me. This is what I want.”
Kester paused for one moment, pushing a lock of Nadia’s hair to the side. “There’s no going back after this,” he said. She nodded, fully understanding. Kester took Nadia into his arms, gentle with her petite frame. He drew her to standing and pressed her body into his, cupping her small, firm breasts. He pulled her thin white shirt off over her head, letting her breasts fall free. She gasped as the cool air hit her flesh, her nipples standing at attention. A jolt like lightning shot through her body and she groaned, pressing into Kester. She breathed deeply and took in his scent, relishing in the intoxicating notes of his musk.
He tossed her top to the floor and pulled her into an embrace, crushing his lips to hers. That kiss was more than just a kiss... it was a communication of comfort, of safety, of protection that spanned galaxies. It was a promise of adventure and beauty. And more than that, it was Kester’s final step in becoming a true man. Nadia could see that as she closed her eyes. The gentle telepathic waves from Kester’s mind showed her that she was the one who would complete him... she was his resting place, his home.
He cupped her breasts roughly and pushed them together, lowering his mouth to her nipples, kissing one and then the other. Kester moved his tongue over Nadia like a man starved, sending an electric shock through her as he nipped at her sensitive flesh. Nadia grew wet at his touch, her sex growing even slicker at the thought of the huge alien man entering her and making her his mate.
As she breathed in his mating musk, her entire body seemed to pulse, growing more open, more flexible... ready to be entered and fully taken. His touch slowed, and his body read hers, each movement of his fingertips prepping her for his body. Nadia watched as he extended the tip of his tongue to her nipple, his leonine eyes looking up to hers. He circled one nipple with his tongue, rolling the other in his fingers. Nadia threw her head back, letting the waves of sensation take her body over. Here, she would give herself to this prince. Here, her life would begin.
Roughly, Kester pushed Nadia back onto the bed. He knelt before her and tugged at the pants she’d received when she’d come to the medical ward, pulling them down and tossing them aside. Growling, he brought her forward, pressing her legs apart and kissing along one thigh before moving to the other. Kester’s tongue darted out, as if tasting Nadia’s skin. He groaned and breathed deeply, memorizing her scent. He pulled her lacy panties aside, his strong fingers ripping the fabric like it was wet paper. She cried out,
