the Zonians, she was too pale, scrawny, wingless, and possessed two soft breasts instead of one sturdy one.
He snorted. “Don’t tell me you’ve never looked in a mirror? And you avoided my question. Why me, and why all this drama just to get pregnant?”
“It is the Zonian way.”
A blank look met her reply.

A frown knit his brow. “Zonian? I’ve met some of them before, and you are definitely not descended from them. They are giant females with clawed feet and hands, massive wings, and only one breast.” Grabbing her breasts in both hands, she squeezed them and tossed him an impish smile. “Yes, I was mocked quite a bit when I developed a pair unlike my foster sister and mothers. They offered to cut one off that I might look more like them, but I declined.”
A shudder went through his body. “Good thing you didn’t. It would be a shame to separate those beauties.” The heat in his gaze stole her breath, and the objects of his conversation tingled as her nipples tightened. “So you are an orphan? Human, I’d guess, like my brother’s mate.”
“You’ve met others of my kind?” she asked, unable to stop the eagerness from entering her tone. “The Zonians rescued me from slavers when I was but a child, and once adopted, our old lives are forgotten. It’s supposed to be easier that way. But I do have to admit, sometimes, I find myself curious about the planet and people of my birth.” She couldn’t help the wistful note that flavored her reply.

“You could visit, you know. While somewhat out of the way, it is not impossible to get to, although, we are strictly forbidden by the galactic council to show ourselves or interfere with the humans in any way. They are still little more than barbarians.”
Aylia shook her head. “No, I am on a mission, and cannot allow myself to be distracted by things of no importance.”
“Ah, yes, your mission. Getting pregnant.” He said it with a moue of distaste that made her defensive.
“You should be flattered that I chose you above all others. My people value strength and cunning. Any child you beget on me is sure to be a strong warrior.”
“Why not just go to a sperm bank and get yourself artificially impregnated instead? They have thousands of donors I’m sure that would have met your requirements.” Aylia knew what he spoke of. Pantariste had touched upon it as a solution if she failed to find a suitable male, but she could tell by the repugnance in her teacher’s tone that such a route held little honor.
“It is a long standing tradition that a Zonion warrior stalk the male she wishes to mate with. After his capture, she holds him by force or fear, and then takes his seed.” Anger tightened his features. “You do know there’s a word for that. Rape.”

“Just because my cock gets hard from your touching doesn’t mean I want to give you my seed. Mark my words, once I escape these chains, I will make you pay.” The trepidation he thought to inject her with failed to appear, and she grinned. “I knew I chose well. It is said, the more the male fights, the stronger the babe will be. Given your attempts to rebuff and scare me off, I shall breed the mightiest Zonian warrior ever.”
He groaned. “You are insane.”
“No. I am Zonian, and you shall be the first to bless my line.” Standing, she dropped her gown, and revealed her body.
“I won’t give you what you want,” he stated in a cool tone that belied the heat in his eyes and the steady rise of his cock.
“You will do whatever I wish. I am the one in control.” To punctuate her claim, she grasped his
