I gulped. Hard. At the sound of his voice, my mouth filled with saliva and the thought of tasting Haelian’s seed again flooded my mind.
“Good…good point,” I finally whispered with a gentle nod.
That made Haelian laugh. It was a good noise, quiet but only because it seemed like it came from somewhere deep within him. Somewhere that most people could never have even found.
“Come here, Sawyer.” He held his hands out to me, palms up. “I want to show you something.”
“Let me guess—a magical fertility riptide?” Despite my sarcasm, I placed my hands into his eagerly. Immediately, I felt something tingly and electric beneath my skin at his touch. Being with Haelian did feel, well…magical, for lack of a better word. Alien too, maybe, but that was a little too on the nose, even for me. He made my body sing with life when he touched me. He made me feel safe and at home every time I was in his arms. But unless the deep blue oceans of Lunaria really did have some kind of crazy fuck-me forces in their waves, there wasn’t anything actually magical about it.
This was something carnal. Something animalistic and feral that the bonds of social nicety could barely hold back. It was something that my body needed desperately, even when my brain and heart were still trying to catch up and understand.
I wanted him. He wanted me. And if I wanted to make a life here with the Lunarians…belonging to Haelian wasn’t exactly a bad start.
“This way,” was all he said in response. “Come with me.”
He led me down to the waves of the ocean, just where they met the beach. The water was only a little less warm than the sand itself. It lapped at my toes, rolling in dirty and washing back out clear and clean.
“Is this all? I’ve been to the ocean before, you know,” I told him. Aiden had taken me once, even though it seemed like an entire lifetime ago now. But when I stopped and thought about it…the statement wasn’t quite true. “I mean, Earth’s oceans aren’t nice like this. They’re full of garbage and sludge. But technically I’ve been.”
“Yes. I have studied Earth enough to know that your oceans are unlike the ones we have here, Sawyer.” Haelian moved behind me as he spoke. His palms folded over the backs of my hands. His fingers shifted into the spaces between mine as he pulled my arms open wide. “Which is why I wished to show you this. I want you to see that Lunaria has things to give you that Earth never could. Greater beauties. The promise of something…something more than the life you have left behind.”
I gazed out over the waves, which were calmer than any I’d seen on Earth as well. Out near the horizon, they faded into a beautiful purple hue that seemed to blur into the dark of the sky so perfectly, I couldn’t tell where the ocean ended and the night began.
“It is beautiful,” I agreed. If Haelian was trying to sell me on Lunaria based on environment alone, it wasn’t exactly going to be hard. The governments of Earth had ruined the planet long before the borders of the sectors had ever been formed.
“Then close your eyes.”
I giggled at Haelian’s order. If he’d told me to take my clothes off in that tone, I would have been naked in an instant.
“Why? Didn’t you want to show me this? I can’t see all the beauties of Lunaria with my eyes shut, silly.”
Haelian leaned over my shoulder, stooping down slightly to press his cheek to my temple. “Showing is not just seeing, Sawyer. Close your eyes.”
Slowly, I did as he asked. “Okay. Now what.”
“Listen,” he ordered. “What do you hear?”
“I hear…the waves coming in.” In the darkness behind my eyelids, the vast sound of the water churning in and out was even clearer than before.
“Breathe in,” was his next order. “What do you smell?”
“Salt,” I said immediately. Not the dirty, musky salt I’d smelled on the beach that Aiden had taken me to, either. This salt was fresh and clean. I could smell it on the wind as it swept in with the waves and ran its fingers through my hair. But it wasn’t just salt. “And you,” I added with a giggle. “I can smell you, too.”
“And how do I smell?”
I breathed in again. “Dark. Green and crisp and…Mm.” I turned my head to the side so I could edge my nose a little closer to his neck. “Good. Really good.”
“Yes.” Haelian’s voice hummed with pleasure. “You smell incredible to me as well, Sawyer. Golden and bright. Like sunshine. Even here in the dark of night.”
I disentangled my fingers from his so I could turn to him. As I folded my body against his, the wind whipped up around us, but when he wrapped his arms around me, they protected me from its chill.
“Did I pass the test, then?” I turned my face up towards his, tilting my head back as far as it would go so I could look into his eyes. It was hard to tell in the dark, but I thought I could see a hint of that deep blue sinking into the purple of his irises. Just like the waves.
“It was no test, Sawyer.” His chest rumbled with amusement. “But if you are asking if I am done showing you what I brought you here to see…almost.”
“Okay. Final question, then.”
Haelian smiled down at me softly. “What do you feel?”
That made me laugh. “I feel…warm. Warm and happy, Haelian. If you’re trying to get me to come to terms with the idea that this is where the rest of my life is going to be spent…you didn’t have to try so hard.”
“You are happy here?” I didn’t know why he looked so surprised.
“Yes. Did I not just say that?” I laughed again as I reached up to run my fingertips over his cheek. “Look, I know that this is probably a little crazy for both of us still. For me because, you know, alien planet and all. For you because I guess you probably never thought you would fuck a human.”
“I never thought I would mate with anyone, Sawyer.” He placed his hand over mine and pressed my palm a little more firmly against his cheek. “But then, I saw you and…from that first moment to this moment that we share now, I cannot imagine a universe where you are not mine.”
“Good,” I said softly. “Because I’d like to be yours. I want to be yours.”
Haelian’s gaze grew serious for a second. “And you do not want to return home? You would choose being here with me over being on Earth?”
I took a breath. That was a loaded question, but I understood why he was asking it.
Not that it mattered. I’d seen the news reports. I knew the reality of this situation.
“There’s nothing for me to go back to, Haelian.” There was a little sadness in my voice as I said it, but it was true. “I’ll miss my parents, and little bits and pieces of my old life, but I know that’s all behind me now. I’m happy to be here with you, if that’s what you’re asking. I’m happy to be with you. If…” I blushed a little. This was an awkward thing to have to say, but given my past history with men, it was worth clearing up. “If you’ll have me, I mean.”
“If I’ll have you.” Haelian repeated my words back at me with a scoff. “Sawyer. Having you is all I desire. You—and only you.”
“Yeah?” I tried to fight back my grin, but I couldn’t manage it. Me and only me. I liked the sound of that way too much. “Then I’ve got good news for you, handsome.”
“Yes?”
I nodded, then moved my hand down Haelian’s cheek to his neck…and then a little lower still. “I’m yours.”
Haelian’s eyes closed as I smoothed my hands down his chest. His head tilted upward, almost like he was praying.
“That is all I could have ever wished to hear you say, Sawyer. But if—”
He paused abruptly, and I stopped the descent of my hands on his body in response.
“If what, big guy?”
“No,” Haelian said softly. “Nothing. Never mind.” When his eyes locked on mine again, they were undeniably blue. “I love you, Sawyer. You have made me…happier than I ever could have imagined possible tonight.”
Seeing that blue in his eyes—the color of desire for Lunarians,
I’d started to figure out—stirred something in me. Something devious and perfectly naughty. Hearing an I love you on top of it was just a bonus, really.
He wanted me. And I definitely wanted him.
“You’ve made me happy, too, Haelian.” Now, I couldn’t move my hands down his body fast enough. My fingers curled around the waistband of the tight pants he wore. I grinned up at him devilishly as I fumbled with the laces that kept them tied tight at his waist. “I love you, too.”
“Truly?” Haelian glanced down at the way my fingers were undoing his pants like he hadn’t quite figured out what I was up to just yet.
I couldn’t help it. I giggled. Seeing a big, formidable man confused like that was kind of cute. And if hadn’t clicked in his brain exactly what I wanted from him already…I was pretty sure it would soon.
“Oh, very much so,” I assured him as I slipped to my knees. “If you don’t believe me…Here. Let me show you.”
I freed the last of his laces and eased his pants down over his hips. Beneath them, Haelian’s cock was already stiff and getting harder by the second. It caught on his waistband as I tugged the fabric down even lower. When I finally freed it, it bounced up—hard, heavy and already dripping with a pearly white precum that made me lick my lips.
Wow. We’d been so hungry for each other last night, I hadn’t gotten a good look at it. But now, in the soft glow of the moonlight, I could appreciate its full shape—thick, long and perfectly formed. When I wrapped a hand around the base, my fingers settled into the valleys between the five little mounds on the upper side of it. Those must have been what I’d felt moving so deliciously against my G-spot last night, creating the pressure and friction that had made orgasming for him so easy. Haelian’s cock was flushed slightly darker shade of orange than the rest of his skin—the same color that his cheeks turned when he blushed. Veins bulged up and down his shaft. Even when I stacked my fists on top of each other to squeeze him tight, the flared tip poked out to greet me.
He was huge.
“I can’t believe you fit inside me,” I whispered as I glanced up at him.
Haelian’s eyes were closed as he hummed with pleasure. “Neither can I,” he admitted. “You were so tight, precious one. If you had not been so gorgeously wet for me, I do not think I would have fit at all.”
I licked my lips, then moved them toward his tip. If Haelian liked it wet, then I had good news for him. I was salivating just thinking about how good his cum had tasted when he fed it to me off of his fingers last night.
And I bet he tasted even better when I could lick his cum straight from the source.
I stuck my tongue out and moved it against the flat of his tip. Immediately, I decided that I’d been right. Even Haelian’s precum tasted hot and salty, just a little bit sweet. As my lips wrapped around his thickness, I only wanted more.
That was a little bit of a problem, though. Haelian was so thick that it made my jaw ache to take him into my mouth. I pressed on anyway, taking him as deep as I could. Haelian’s fingers wove their way through my hair and twitched against my scalp with every inch that I swallowed, but when his tip finally bumped against the back of my throat, I found myself choking. I jerked back at the sensation—but Haelian held me steady.
“No. More,” he demanded. His hips bucked sharply, just once, forcing his cock even deeper still into the warmth of my mouth. For a second, I thought he was going to lose control completely. He was stronger than I was. Bigger. Able to take whatever he wanted.
And he could have. I knew it—and as I stared up at him, I saw the realization catch in his eyes as well.
With a breathy groan, he tugged my head back. His cock popped from my lips with a soft, sucking sound of release.
“Fuck,” I swore. My jaw still ached, but the taste of his precum still on my tongue only made me want to go in for seconds.
Before I could, though, Haelian dropped to his knees as well. We were both panting—me from how bad I wanted to keep sucking and licking him, him from…something else.
“I am sorry, Sawyer. I…I do not know what came over me.” He rested his forehead against mine, then laid a dozen trembling kisses against my cheek. “I did not mean to hurt you.”
I giggled as I turned my head to steal a kiss for my lips as well. “You didn’t hurt me, Haelian. I just…” I giggled again. “You’re really big. I don’t think my mouth was quite ready for how thick you are.”
“Is that…customary, on Earth? Taking your mate’s member into your mouth like that?”
I grinned, then laid another peck on his lips. “Not customary, no. But it’s not weird or anything. And it’s, you know, kind of fun.”
“You enjoyed it?” Haelian stared me down like he was daring me to lie to him. Like the idea of me enjoying that was too good to be true.
“As long as you did,” I told him. “I started it, didn’t I?”
Haelian let out a little laugh, then nodded. “So you did. But I think you have given me enough, precious one.” His fingers toyed with the strap of my top for a moment, then he wrapped his arms around me. In an instant, I was swept off my feet and lifted up into his arms again. My favorite place. “Now, it is my turn.”
Haelian rose and carried me back over to the blankets and pillows he had laid out on the sand. As he placed me down on them, I thought I spied a picnic basket off to one side—but if Haelian had been planning a romantic dinner on the beach with me, it’d have to wait until later. My body was thrumming with need for him. Tasting his cock was a good enough appetizer for the time being.
If we were going to eat, we’d have to settle for dessert after. Now, I was ready for the main course.
“Beautiful thing,” Haelian purred as he folded his body over mine. “Precious. Gorgeous.” His eyes flashed dangerously, then he nipped at my neck with his fangs. “Mine.”
He undid my top first. The fabric slipped down over my shoulders, freeing my breasts. Normally, I didn’t feel particularly busty, but now that I’d seen a few different Lunarian women, I knew my tits were a little fuller than what Haelian would have expected from a Lunarian mate. He lowered his tongue to my nipple and flicked the forked tip against my peak. For a moment, I felt his heartbeat again in the warm, slick V between his tongue’s prongs.
“Oh,” I breathed. “Wow. I love that.”
Haelian smirked up at me. “You love my tongue against your teats, Sawyer?”
“I do—but don’t call them that.” I giggled at his word choice. Teats. Aiden would have called my breasts my boobs or maybe my titties if he was drunk—and I never would have dared to laugh at him while we were trying to have sex. He would have gotten too embarrassed, and the mood would have been dead in an instant. But with Haelian, it felt okay to laugh. It didn’t make the passion wane at all.
If anything, laughing just made it all feel even better.
Haelian’s lips were curled in a smile of his own as he kissed around my areola. With one hand, he squeezed my breast possessively. The other was already tugging the waistband of my pants.
“Mm. They are teats, though.” Haelian sucked my nipple into his mouth just hard enough to send a surge of pleasure rushing from my nipple all the way down to my clit. He released it from his lips with a gentle pop. “Perfect breasts to feed my cubs.”
As Haelian worked my pants down over my thighs, I wiggled to help him get them off and moaned softly at the thought of that. Bearing Haelian’s children wasn’t just a possibility if we went any further—it was all but a guarantee. A species with a population problem like the one the Lunarians had obviously wasn’t overly concerned with the use of condoms, and the way I’d begged Haelian to come inside me last night still hadn’t left my mind.
Maybe it was crazy. In fact, it probably was completely insane.
But so was the way that Haelian made my pussy feel when he pulled my pants off of me and moved his hand to cup the soaking wet heat between my legs.
And so was the way that my hips bucked up to press
my clit against his thumb when he slipped it between the lips of my sex.
And so was the way my entire body seemed to purr as he placed a kiss on my lips—the long, hot, passionate kind.
All of this was completely insane. Every last bit of it.
Compared to the fact that I was currently on the beach of an alien planet, about to make love to a Lunarian general who made every inch of my body feel like it was made of fire and ice all at once, getting pregnant by Haelian didn’t seem any crazier than anything else that had happened to me since I’d been torn away from Earth.
In fact…there was something about it that didn’t feel crazy at all. If anything, it felt completely sane. Completely right.
By the time Haelian pressed his cock against my cunt to enter me, I was already teetering dangerously close to the edge of an orgasm that I wasn’t sure would ever end. Rationality and reason had gone out the window so long ago, I didn’t even know what they would have looked like anymore.
All I knew was that this time, there wasn’t anything to blame for what I wanted. Nothing addling my mind except for the things my body wanted and the desperation I felt as he pressed his cock inside me. The joy I felt, knowing that this time, if I asked, he’d give me all of it.
“I…I love you, Haelian.” My legs wrapped around his waist as my words came out, breathy and staggered. His cock was stretching me out all over again as he slid it into my slick, hot folds. Our bodies moved against each other, sticky with sweat but soft, too. Like velvet on silk. “I want to be yours.”
Haelian growled as he gave a final thrust, all but hilting his cock inside me. A pang of gorgeous, bright heat burst inside me as his tip jolted up so deep that if his cum had flowed out then, it would have gone straight into my womb.
Again, I felt that flash of need. Just like I’d felt in the cave—except now, it felt even stronger. Even more real.
“You are mine.” There was no hesitation in his voice now. No holding back, either. Haelian’s hips pistoned against the backs of my thighs. His balls bounced against my ass, heavy and tight. “All mine, Sawyer. Mine to take. Mine to breed. You gave yourself to me, and now you belong to me. Do you understand?”
