“You?”
“Me.” Jessica smiled up at him. “And I’ve got mother trouble just like you.”
“I can’t promise you’ll be safe on the homeworld. I’ve got influence, but I’ve also got enemies that would kill you even if you were a Sri’thaen.”
Jessica shrugged. “Life is full of uncertainty. I’m willing to risk it. Just as long as you can assure me I can send messages to my family to let them know I’m alive.”
“You’ll be able to send them messages, but my government will read them before they’re sent out.”
“Understandable.” She grinned ear to ear. “Now, how do you like this color on me?” She twisted slightly on the bed to give him a better view.
Bruyx’s eyes fell to the red that surrounded them. “Let me show you just how much I like it on you.”
He pushed the material out of the away, opening the folds of her crimson robe like the petals of a flower opening for spring.
“Gorgeous.” He growled, and she beamed under the praise. Praise that she’d grown used to and desired as much as the man above her.
“For his help,” she panted as Bruyx placed searing kisses between the crevice of her breasts, “Rakshasas wants you as an ally.”
“For helping me to get this? He’s got a deal.” Bruyx continued to kiss his way up her neck before planting a toe-curling kiss on her lips. Then he broke away, and his eyes met hers, and she could see the love and lust swirling in those brown orbs.
His eyes drifted over her body.
“I love you being draped in red.” He growled. “I promised to let you know what this color means to my people, and this is what it means.” He ground the hard on in his pants against one of her bare legs. “This color on a woman drive all Sri’thaen men wild.”
“Ah.” Her lips opened in understanding. “So, unless I want to cause a riot, never wear it in public.”
He smiled. “But in our home or bedroom, you are more than welcome to wear it any time you would like me to pounce on you.”
A slow, wicked smile creased her lips. “Be prepared for a lot of jumping.”
One of his hands slid over her smooth calf and up her trembling thigh until it landed on her waist. He squeezed slightly before his hand continued up to her breast. Taking it in his hand, he massaged the pliable flesh. He captured one of her nipples and tweaked it until she bucked under him.
“I need more.” Jessica breathed, eager to have him filling her with the hard length she could only feel through the fabric of his pants.
“And I need you.” Bruyx backed away and stripped off his pants and shirt before laying back down on the bed next to her. “First, we get you wet, and then you’ll get me.” He promised.
She pouted slightly as she rolled over onto her side and caressed her hands over his chiseled chest. “What do you plan on doing to get me wet?”
“Whatever I want.”
He placed a hand against her shoulder and forced her back onto her back before using the same hand to spread her legs wide. His fingers entwined themselves in the hair at the apex of her thighs before dipping lower, using a finger to spread her pussy lips wide. Then a wandering finger found her clit, and he rubbed tight circles around it.
Jessica’s hips bucked, and she moaned as pleasure soared through her. “Mmm, yesss.”
Then his seeking fingers explored lower. He plunged a finger into her.
“Already getting a little wet.” He whispered in her ear, his breath tickling the fine hairs on her scalp.
Bruyx pumped in and out of her, as her hips joined in, helping him.
“I’m going to come!” She cried out.
“Yes, come for me!”
Bruyx watched the fine shade of a blush creep across her cheeks. Her grey eyes hazing over with her desire as it continued to build inside her small frame.
His fingers continued their onslaught, and her entrance grew slicker as her warmth welcomed him eagerly. Her flesh trembled around his pumping fingers as her orgasm grew closer.
His cock strained to be inside her, but he was going to make her come more than once. He’d promised she would be soaking wet before he gave her what she wanted.
Her thighs clamped down around his arm, but he continued to thrust his finger into her and quickly sent a second into her with the first.
“Yes!”
Jessica squirmed under him as the pressure grew and became unbearable. She was going to break. And then her body shuddered as she slowly broke around him, her body jerking with her orgasm. “Bruyx, god, yes.”
The moment she slumped against the mattress, he rolled over the top of her, fisted his cock, and positioned the tip at her soaked entrance. In one swift movement, he inched his length into her, her tight entrance welcoming him.
Their eyes connected and held steady as he drove into her, inch by agonizing inch. She was looked like a goddess born of a star in the swathes of crimson that surrounded her.
Jessica rocked her hips, and he groaned as she pressed him to the hilt.
“Woman, you drive me insane.”
A smile spread across her lips as her arms wrapped around his neck and drew him down. “I want more.”
He drew his cock out until only the head was inside her before slamming back into her. A fine sweat beaded up on his skin as he plowed it her again. It felt so good, and he wished it could go on forever.
A moan poured out of her mouth as he withdrew and plunged back into her. Her fingernails lightly ran down his back, and he arched into her, driving his cock deep until his balls slapped against her wet flesh.
The pressure built and built. It pressed down on him in delightful waves.
“I’m so deep. Your… so wet.” He groaned as he strained above her.
“Yes, yes!” Jessica’s hips met his every single thrust.
With every thrust, her body quivered in ecstasy. Her legs wrapped around him, her heels pressing firmly against his buttocks as she dug in, spurring him on.
Bruyx pumped faster until her breasts jiggled with wild abandonment. His gaze was glued to the sight before him. Those tight pink buds twirled through the air, mesmerizing him. He drove into her hard and fast, eager to see those bouncing tits teasing him with their frantic movements.
Jessica was barely able to notice his rapt attention on her nipples as her own body began to clamp down around him. Her body was relucted to let him go until he’d rung an orgasm from her.
His back arched, his chest brushing over her taut nipples. The sensation sent her right over the edge, and she plummeted into the black depths, only to come soaring back up. Lights flashed around her vision as she watched sweat bead on his brow. A couple drops landed on her chest, his eyes never leaving the sight of her bouncing breasts.
“I’m coming!” She yelled.
“Come for me! I want to hear your pleasure.”
She saw the veins on his neck, the blood pumping through them as he continued to plow into her. His cock hot every delicious point inside of her.
Bruyx’s head dipped to her neck. His mouth landed on her, hot and wanting. He sucked the skin of her neck into his mouth, and her body plunged over the edge of the cliff of pleasure.
Her entrance clamped down on him, and he groaned against her neck right before he came into her. His hot seed seared through her. Her body continued to coax on his orgasm as he came into her hot body.
Bruyx slumped over her. His body pumped into her lightly every time her body quaked around him until the last drops of her pleasure waned.
Leaning up on his elbow, he planted a kiss to her lips. “I can’t get enough of you.”
Jessica pushed lightly on his shoulders until he rolled over and she landed on top of him, his cock never leaving her.
“Good, because I feel the same.”
Epilogue
“We’re here.” Bruyx shifted around in the pilot’s seat and glanced back at Jessica and Bethany.
Jessica met his eyes, and she felt herself waver a bit. “What if
they aren’t what’s best for her?”
“They’re her family, Jessica.” Bruyx sighed as he stopped their shuttle, a space station not far away.
“They might be her family, but what if they aren’t in a position to take care of her?”
Bethany may not be her child, but after the couple of weeks that’d passed since they’d found her on the Hennian hunting planet, she’d grown used to the girl’s company.
“She deserves to go back to her world with other humans.” Bruyx stood up from his seat and came to sit beside her. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “The council was willing to let you stay, but not Bethany. You heard them just as I did.”
Jessica wasn’t about to forget that experience. Not at all. Being called before a Sri’thaen council wasn’t something many could forget. It had been nerve-wracking, and for the first time since she’d been a child she’d picked up her nervous habit of gnawing on her fingernails.
“Your people will see to her safety.” Bruyx placed a gentle kiss to her cheek. “I’m going to the back to get Bethany ready, while you fly the ship to the space station. Okay?” He leaned over until he made eye contact with her.
She nodded her head as she took in a steadying breath. She had to remember not to cry. She didn’t want Bethany’s last memory of her as a sobbing mess.
“I know the plan.”
“Good.” Bruyx rose and disappeared behind a door to get Bethany ready for her new life.
Jessica rose, walked over to the cockpit, and sat down in the pilot’s seat. Bruyx had given her a few lessons at flying a shuttle before they’d set off to return Bethany back to human space.
As she got the engines going once more, she waited in silence. Soon the space station would notice her and contact her.
A beeping at the console in front of her began filling the air. And there they were. Right on time.
With a glance over her shoulder to make sure Bruyx wasn’t in the room, she pushed a button, answering the hail from the space station.
“Please send your shuttle information.” The man on the screen instructed her.
Jessica nodded as she quickly hit a few buttons, sending over the required information now that space stations on the border of human space were on high alert.
She watched the blonde hair man study the information that popped up on his screen and prayed that the intel Adira had provided would get them past security.
“Everything looks in order. Be quick with your business here otherwise, you’ll need to fill out an application for a longer stay.”
“Sounds good.” She nodded.
The screen in front of her went black as the man ended the transmission.
“How’d it go?”
Jessica swiveled around in the seat and watched Bruyx and Bethany walk out of the back room.
“It went well.” She sent him a relieved smile.
“When we land inside the shuttle bay, you will need to take Bethany onto the space station alone, for obvious reasons.”
She nodded her head. As a Sri’thaen, he wouldn’t be welcomed on a human station.
“Get her to where she needs to be and get back. I don’t want to be on the space station longer than we have to be.”
“Neither do I.” If the space station security found out she had a Sri’thaen on board and had falsified the documents she’d sent them, she’d be thrown into jail as well.
Their ship landed in the shuttle bay on autopilot.
Rising from her seat, she smiled down at Bethany. “Ready to meet your family again?”
“Yes!” The little girl beamed as her blue eyes lit up with excitement.
“Then let’s get going.” She grabbed a hold of the child’s hand and opened the hatch on the shuttle. They walked out and onto the human space station. The hatch door closed behind them, shuttering Bruyx away.
She felt her heart begin to thunder away in her chest. She couldn’t wait to get this over with and get off the space station. She’d hate to see anything happen to Bruyx.
Jessica kept a firm hold on Bethany’s hand as she led them through all the people and ships in the shuttle bay until she reached a station for lost and found.
“What can I help you with?” The woman behind the counter asked chewing on something slowly, her eyes dull with the boredom of her job.
“Yes, this is Bethany, and she lost her parents.”
The woman leaned over the counter to get a look at Bethany.
“We can take her in and find her parents.”
“She told me that her parents might not be alive anymore.”
The woman chewed some more on whatever was in her mouth. “We can find her other family members as well. Until then she’ll stay with child services.”
“You hear that?” She glanced down at Bethany. “They’re going to find your family for you.” Jessica bent down on a knee and hugged Bethany, “Be safe.”
“I’m going to miss you, Jessica.”
She pulled away and found the girl’s sky-blue eyes filled with unshed tears. “Don’t cry, Bethany. This will be good for you to get back to your own family.” She squeezed one of Bethany’s shoulders lightly.
“Come on now.” The woman came around the counter and held out her hand to Bethany. The girl took the offered hand and waved goodbye as she was walked into the small office.
Jessica turned and walked away before she snatched back Bethany. She wasn’t the girl’s family despite how much she may have come to enjoy Bethany’s go lucky personality.
When she entered the shuttle, she found Bruyx sitting in the pilot’s seat.
“Ready to go?”
The hatch closed behind her, as she walked into the ship and took a seat near him. “Yep.”
Bruyx reached out and squeezed her hand. “You saved her from the Hennians, and now she will have a chance to grow up with grandparents or aunts and uncles. It will be good for her.”
Jessica sighed. “I know you’re right.”
“Besides,” he smiled at her, “I hope we can soon welcome a child into our life.”
She smiled over at him. “As do I. As do I.”
Bruyx typed in coordinates, and they headed off back to Sri’thaen space.

Racing Toward
Desire
Lily Thomas
Chapter 1
Nayli’s fingers moved swiftly over the console in front of her as she maneuvered her ship around a moon. She glanced down at her monitor and noticed several other ships were right on her ass.
Damn.
Her heart rate sped up. She was so close!
Two moons ago, she’d really gained some distance, but now those other ships were about to overtake her. She was going to have a serious talk with her mechanic when she got back to the space station. Her engines needed to be faster!
Once she finished circling the moon, she punched her thrusters into full throttle with a few quick flicks of her fingertips. She could see the space station on her viewscreen amongst a backdrop of glittering stars. She had to get there first.
A ship zoomed past her.
“Damn, Daen’su!” Immediately, Nayli recognized the
design of the ship that had overtaken her. They were probably using black market equipment on their ship. Scratch that, they were. When would a Daen’su not use black market equipment?
Nayli glanced down at her monitor and saw another ship about to pass her. She wasn’t about to let another person take second place from her. If she had to play this race dirty, then that was exactly what she was going to do.
Quickly, she maneuvered her ship in front of theirs, causing them to power down their thrusters for the briefest second, but it gave her the advantage she needed. She flew through the finish line before them.
Second place. Not bad but not what she’d been hoping for.
She felt a growl crawl up her throat, and she smacked a palm against the edge of her console. Damn that Daen’su for taking first place from her.
Powering down her thrusters, she let her momentum push her towards the shuttle bay on the space station. Within a couple of seconds, she landed inside the shuttle bay and banged a hand against her console again as she shook her head. She had to watch out for those Daen’su. They never raced fair, which meant she was going to have to turn up the heat to get first place in the next race.
Rising from her seat, she twisted off her helmet and placed it on her seat. Then she made her way over to her hatch and pressed a blinking green button. A door opened, and a ramp descended, stopping when it landed against the metal deck of the shuttle bay.
Nayli leaped down the ramp, eager to talk to her mechanic about what modifications they could make to her ship before the next race started. She wanted to be first next time, not second. This was her life and second just wouldn’t do for her. As a female racer, she had a lot to prove to the men who dominated the racing industry. She wasn’t going to let them push her out. Not ever.
