Deceit: BBW Alien Lottery Romance (Chosen by the Karal Book 1) by Harmony Raines Read Free Book Online

Thousands and thousands of people. There was a kind of stadium, which looked to have been hastily erected. It formed a perimeter around the cruiser they would use to leave Earth.
    As he led her to the doors, he smiled briefly, and she knew he could tell how terrified she was when he said, “It will all be over soon. We say goodbye to the President, he gives you his blessing and does a speech about how our worlds are working together for the common good, and then we leave.”
    “Just like that. I never knew it would be such a big deal. But then I never knew I was going to be the big deal.” She laughed nervously. “I felt so sorry for the person who was going to win the lottery. If I’d known it was going to be me, I would have felt even worse.”
    He came to her, pulled her close, and kissed her once more. This time her knees did go weak, and the size of his cock seemed to have grown even bigger. Maybe he liked the attention of the cameras. And in some ways it did take her mind off the waiting crowd, because now she did worry if he was ever going to fit inside her. Had the Karal heard of artificial insemination? That would be so much easier. And yet she wanted to explore the way he would make love to her. If his kisses were anything to go by, his lovemaking would be out of this world. She smothered her smile; she might not be laughing later when they did finally consummate this weird agreement.
    He turned and half smiled, before frowning slightly at her. He knew she had thought something funny, and wanted to know what. Maybe he felt insecure, like she was laughing at him. She nearly reassured him, and then thought what the hell, that will teach you to tune on my private emotions.
    Outside the cameras had already started to flash, no doubt the zoom lenses of the paps picking up on their embrace. Was that why he had done it, for the cameras? It didn’t matter; the whole thing was a farce anyway. If it weren’t so serious, if it wasn’t happening to her, she would find it incredibly funny. If somewhat sad—that a woman would willingly volunteer to go to an alien planet and breed the next generation of those aliens, all for the price of clean air and fresh food.
    He placed his hand on the small of her back and used a little pressure to guide her forward. Together, they walked out of the building, which had been cleared for them. No bustling nurses, no patients bleeding out on the floor. It was quiet, and she longed to stay there, to spend the rest of her life in the silence of the cool hospital, instead of facing the crowds and whatever lay beyond the stars.
    Yet, irrevocably, he guided her forward, holding the door open with his broad shoulder for her to pass by. She brushed against him, quite innocently, but was stunned to feel him tense. He was struggling with a different set of emotions than Elissa, but they were just as strong. Hers were rooted in the unknown, in fear for what was to come. While his were rooted in the unknown and the anticipation of what was to come.
    “Here at last is our lucky lady lottery winner. We would all like to wish you a speedy recovery, Elissa. I can quite see how you could spill coffee on yourself at the prospect of being the first woman to be invited to the planet Karal. I sure hope you enjoy your stay there.”
    The voice-over boomed out, with cheers and sniggers from the crowd. He made it sound as if she had won a two-week vacation to the Oxydomes that covered the large beaches in the Mediterranean. Not a lifelong sentence of breeding aliens.
    “Wave,” Marin said in her ear. She automatically lifted her gloved hand and waved to the crowds, glad the doctor had given her some strong morphine earlier. There was also a morphalite tube in her pocket if she needed it. And that reminded her of the deadly stim’ Harri had given her. It, too, remained in her pocket; she had dropped it in there when Marin entered her room. Now she wanted rid of it. No matter what Harri said, and how much of
