  And after much thought, I knew that Archer Payne was right: the opportunity to go to Mooreah was the opportunity of a lifetime and I should not pass it up. Even though there was an arrogant and infuriating prince that was driving me mad with frustration.

  The night before my departure from Earth, I called my one-night stand from the bar, David, and invited him over. We had drinks in my apartment and then I moved him to the bedroom, leaving the drapes open. I did it on purpose. If I was going to be spied on, then I would give him a show to remember. Would serve him right for spying on me, but I did not want to admit to myself that I was doing it because I liked it.

  The thought of the prince hovering in dragon form outside my window, watching me as I let David fuck me hard was very hot. It made my time with David even better than the first time when I only felt like I was being watched; now I knew. It felt good. It made me feel desirable. After the prince had pulled me into his arms and kissed me, I knew that there was some sort of attraction between us, and he felt it too. This would be a very interesting trip indeed.

  The next day, our departure was met with a lot of fanfare. The Drackon spaceship was massive and it reminded me of a space station hotel. It was based at the government bass port station protected by the Earth army.

  As Archer Payne led me down to the ship, I felt panic form in my throat. I was really going through with this. I was leaving Earth for the first time in my life. Even though I knew that many human females had made the trip and now lived on Mooreah, it still made me very nervous to be doing this.

  Then I saw the prince. The same, four warriors that I saw in the office were leading him. There were many human females adoring his every move as he walked past them through the crowds. I rolled my eyes at them. He was practically a rock star and I found the adoration he was getting annoying.

  As I was led to the ship, he turned and saw me, as though he sensed my presence before actually seeing me. He narrowed his eyes at me in anger. Was he still mad about the slap? Or was he angry about the show I gave him last night? I smiled a devious smile as though I had won a fight between us.

  "Enjoy yourself, Marissa. But don't forget why you are really there," Archer Payne said to me quietly. I nodded my head and then handed my traveling trunk over to one of the warriors outside of the spaceship. He pulled it aside and began to go through it. I rolled my eyes at the lack of privacy. We all waited for the prince to board first and then the rest of us boarded as well.

  "Marissa Volander. I am Axon. I am the lieutenant on this ship and I will show you to your quarters. Your trunk will follow once it has been cleared. Follow me," a very attractive and charming weredragon said to me. He had blond hair and blue eyes and he was already friendlier than the prince. Perhaps we would even be friends, as this long voyage could get very lonely.

  Chapter 4

  PRINCE JARITH RYKOR

  Following the scent of the human female up the building to the roof was a mistake. As soon as I saw her standing there as the wind whipped her hair and skirt, I knew this was going to be a problem. I should have flown away right then and there instead of what I ended up doing. As I hovered over her and let the wind from my wings hit her, I could tell that she was standing there in anger. She was pissed off.

  I was pissed off too. As soon as I saw her, I remembered her with the human male the night before and it made me angry. There was something about this human female, as though I had already claimed her just by inhaling her scent. Her lips trembled in anger and then her face changed into surprise, and awe, as I got closer to her. I enjoyed seeing the look of surprise on her face as she looked at me with admiration and fear. Good; she should fear me. I was something to be feared.

  We argued. I don't know why either of us was so angry, but we were and did not have a right to be. I was angry with her for what I saw the night before, her with the human male. But there was something else that I was not admitting to myself about why I was angry. It wasn't until she slapped me after I told her that I had watched her through the window that I knew: her aggressive move was unlike any that I had seen a female do. No female had dared strike me before, or even turned their back on me while I was talking to them. This was all very new to me and very enticing.

  Why did my father have to pick the one, feisty and spirited female human on Earth? As soon as she slapped me ,I could no longer hold back and I pulled her close to me and kissed her. I lost myself in that kiss. But as soon as I came to my senses, I remembered that she did not belong to me. She belonged to my father, like a human toy. The thought made me so angry that I could no longer stay in her presence. I had to leave quickly. I flew straight up into the sky, trying to disappear from her and her delicious scent as quickly as I could.

  I flew dangerously and rough, trying to relieve my senses. Trying to erase her from my mind. I flew into the woods and was pleased to get one last flight of this planet that I had learned to actually like. Though I despised the humans, I loved the natural beauty of Earth. I let myself indulge in the tall trees of the forest, in the cold snow on the mountaintops, and in the fast wind currents. I spent the rest of the day out in the wilderness, letting myself be the dragon.

  But when I returned to the city, I could not help myself. I found myself again hovering outside of Marissa's window in the dark of the night. I wanted to watch her. But I was not expecting that she was waiting for me. No, she did not open her windows to me, but she was once again with the human male. Now that I had told her that I had watched her the night before, she was doing this on purpose.

  The long drapes on her window were wide open and every light in the room was on. She was performing for me. I watched as she moved slowly, licking up the man’s chest. She was on all fours hovering over his body. She was completely naked and her gorgeous body was petite but ample in the hips and tits. They jiggled with every moment. Then she moved down over the man’s cock and took it into her mouth.

  I snarled with envy as I watched. I did not want her doing that to anyone but me, yet I had no claim over this human female. Her mouth moved up and down on his cock as the man squirmed under her, letting me know that she was good at what she was doing. She licked and sucked and made a show of it. Then she stopped and said something to the man. He smiled. He got up on his knees and she moved her body so that she was facing the window, but she was still on all fours. The man moved behind her and placed his cock inside of her. She stared directly at the window. I knew that she could not see me, but she sensed that I was there.

  The man entered her and she arched her head back in ecstasy. He grabbed her waist and began to move in and out of her over and over. I wanted to be in his place. I grew hard watching her. My cock was very rigid as I watched her tits bounce up and down as he hammered her from behind. Finally, I could not take anymore of this. If I watched any longer, I would break down the glass, fly in, and take her myself. I flew straight up into the sky toward the moon of Earth.

  It was a beautiful sight, and I was hoping the cold air of the night would cool off my loins. She was a feisty and sexy human female, this Marissa Volander. She must be extremely smart as well to head a corporation. The females on my planet did not hold such positions and were more docile. They were mothers and cared for the offspring. Their skills did not go beyond that. The females of the Drackon were not shifters, only the men. We were the dragons and they were the mothers; it had always been that way. Now I was taking a feisty female whose scent drove me crazy on a long journey to my planet where none of the females were like her, except for the few human females that already lived there.

  Being near her would be too much for me. How the hell was I going to spend four weeks on the ship with her? I would have to have as little contact with her as possible. I would have to order Lieutenant Axon to oversee her needs and watch her. This seemed like a very good plan, until it wasn't.

  "Prince Jarith, the human female has been taken to her quarters and shown how to adapt to our ship systems," Axon reported to me as I sat on the fli
ght deck with the captain of the ship and the rest of the crew.

  "Good. I hope that she will stay to that part of the ship. I do not need a whiny female human around making this journey feel longer than it already is. Report to me if anything changes in her health, but other than that, do not disturb me with her and her needs."

  "Yes, prince," he said as he left the deck.

  There; everything was set in motion. I had done what my father asked. Now I would return to Mooreah and go back to the life that I had become accustomed to. It was my right as a prince to not have to deal with these sorts of absurd and petty assignments. These are the assignments that should be assigned to Traydon, and not I. My father expected I was going to learn something. The only thing that I truly learned on this trip was that Earth was a beautiful planet out in the wilderness, without the humans. If anything, it made me want to get rid of the humans. That would be best for their entire planet, since they were ruining it.

  Days passed aboard the ship; I was growing concerned because I had not heard a word from the saucy human female. I thought she would have complained by now. There must be something wrong with her. I took it upon myself to search for her in the part of the ship where her quarters were located. I rarely went to that part of the ship. Mostly because her scent was so strong that I could not be anywhere in that part of the ship without inhaling her. If I were to be able to not give a shit about her being given to my father, then I was going to have to distance myself from her. It was the only way.

  "Now this is how we keep the oxygen levels in correct balance. It is a self-sustaining system. It practically runs itself, and with no energy," I heard a familiar voice say as I walked down the hall.

  "That is absolutely amazing. We have nothing like this on Earth. Please show me more, Axon," I heard Marissa say.

  As soon as I heard her voice, I knew that Axon and Marissa were spending time together. Jealousy moved throughout my body. I knew that I had ordered him to take charge of our guest, but I did not think that included him showing her around and intriguing her mind with the science of the ship. She was a science-based human that worked for a science corporation; of course learning the technology of the ship and the ways of the Drackon was a way to interest and keep her attention. Perhaps it was even a way to her heart. I grew angrier by the second with these thoughts moving in my mind as I moved into the room.

  "What are you doing in here?" I said sternly. I looked to see that the two of them were only inches from each other and Marissa had been staring up at him with admiration in her eyes. I wanted to grab him and slam him against the wall. I wanted to grab him and throw him off the ship into space where he would implode. They quickly moved away from each other when they heard the interruption of my voice.

  "Our guest took an interest in the mechanics of our station. In the interest of not letting her get too bored, I offered to show he, Prince," Axon said with a smile on his face.

  Clearly he did not know about the attachment I was feeling for the human female. All he knew was that I thought she was annoying and I did not want to deal with her. For him, this probably meant that she was up for grabs. I started to wonder if he had taken her to bed. I had left them to their own devices for almost a full week now. I saw what kind of human female she was when I watching her in the window, taking that human male; why would she not do this with one of the warriors aboard my ship? I looked at them both, searching for an answer to that question: had they been together?

  "Thank you, Axon. I will take it from here. Please check in with the captain and make sure that we are still on course," I said, giving him a fake order in order to get him to move clear across the other side of the ship. He sort of frowned, and I could only think it was because I was forcing him to leave the side of the beautiful human female, because he had never frowned before when I gave him an order. He saluted me, gave Marissa a smile, and left.

  "There you are, Prince. I was beginning to think you stayed on Earth," she said in a sassy tone that piqued my interest automatically. She wanted to fight.

  "What makes you say that, Marissa?" I asked, moving toward her and leaning against the wall, allowing my eyes to get their fill of her delightful figure. I had forgotten just how beautiful she was after having deprived myself of looking at her the last week.

  "Oh, I don't know, perhaps you like peeking in windows so much that you stayed on Earth," she said playfully.

  I laughed. "Without you on the other side of those windows, there is no point."

  She was silent for a long time as she stared at me and then she looked at the controls. "Well, Prince, since you have robbed me of my escort, perhaps you can continue guiding me through the science of this ship," she said as she moved her eyelashes up-and-down in a flirty manner. It worked.

  "I would be delighted," I said to her and began to point out the various controls and switches and what they did. She listened intently. She was learning. I wondered what the company she worked for had at stake on this journey. Was it to simply do with our advanced technology, or was it something more?

  After a few hours of walking around the ship, I noticed a change in both of us. It was a sort of truce that had come between us. What choice did we have other than to get along? But this was not good for me, and she did not know why. I could not tell her the real reason why she was going to my home planet of Mooreah: to simply be used by my father, the king. I could not betray my father that way. He came before any simple human female, but I wanted to tell her, badly.

  "Are you hungry, Marissa? I know I am," I said as I moved my body inches away from her. She looked at me and licked her lips. There was double meaning in the question.

  "Famished. What do you have for me to devour?" she said as she took a step closer to me. I wanted to take her in my arms once again. But I had to force myself to fight the urge.

  "Let us go to the dining hall and see," I said, turning away from her and walking ahead of her. If I stayed another second, I would have been on top of her. I heard her sigh as I moved away from her and I smiled knowing that she was disappointed.

  Chapter 5

  MARISSA VOLANDER

  I am not sure how it happened, but it did. Something had changed between the prince and I. It was as if we had both thrown in our white flags of truce and began to become friends. I think it had to do with the fact that I was spending time with his lieutenant. Once he realized that, he made it a point to visit me for the rest of the journey to the planet Mooreah. Almost every day we had a sort of outing on the ship as he showed me around. I enjoyed it and looked forward to it, as there wasn't much to do on the ship. But there was something else: I liked his company.

  Beep. The door to my quarters rang. My quarters were comfortable. Archer was right; it was luxurious. There was a large, bay window that gave me the most epic view, the view of our galaxy. The furnishings were plush and made of rich materials, but light enough not to weigh down the ship. I had a sitting room and a bedroom with a private bathroom. For a spaceship, it was like a luxury hotel in space. But very few people ring the door to my quarters except for food delivery when I chose to take my food in my room. So I was surprised when I opened it and saw the prince on the other side of the door. I was surprised, but turned on.

  "You know it is only two days until we land on my planet," he said as he moved inside my quarters even though I had not invited him. I shut the door behind us.

  "You came to my quarters to tell me this?" I said, taking a seat on the bench sofa.

  "Yes, but just to see how you are. Since this is your first, long space journey, it can't be easy," he said, taking a seat across from me. I looked at his long body stretched out on the chair; he was so attractive and dominant that sometimes it was hard to concentrate, even when he was just sitting.

  "True, I do have a little cabin fever. I long to be on land and breathing fresh air and feeling the sun on my skin," I said to him.

  "We have all of that on my planet. I think you will like it very much. You will sta
y in the castle as our guest," he said.

  "Castle? You live in a castle? That cannot mean the same thing it means on Earth," I said to him.

  "It does. We live in a castle fortress. Our society is close to what you humans call the Medieval period."

  I was surprised that in all my study of the Drackon, I did not know that. We knew that they were technologically advanced, and that they had a king and a feudal society, but we did not think it went as far as castles and fortresses. I found it fascinating. "I cannot wait to see it. Your home."

  He stood up and came toward me. I held my breath. What was he doing? He sat next to me, very close. His manly scent enveloped me.

  "Jarith...what are you doing?"

  "That is the first time that you have not called me Prince," he said, moving closer to me.

  Shit, he was too close. He was going to kiss me. Shit, what should I...

  But it was too late; his lips pressed against mine. My breath caught in my throat as though he was taking my breath away with his kiss. I felt that confusion once more. The same confusion I had felt before when he kissed me.
