I take a sip of my drink and look around at all the happy people. The energy of the club starts to sink into my soul. I welcome the awesome feeling.
I’m bouncing to the beat by the time Tairin takes my hand and leads me toward the wrestling area. As we pass the mat, I see Din Treia pin Lank to the cushioned surface and kiss him soundly on the lips. The maroon skinned male writhes beneath her tall strong frame.
Heat pools in my core. I know how it feels to be covered by a big strong body.
We arrive at the owner’s table. I wave at Hallie and Skyla. A nudge to my arm has me frowning. The tsk that comes from Din Tairin has me cringing.
“Sorry.” I address Dins Zar, Ryk, and Von. They don’t soul search me for long. I’m flipping happy about that.
Tonight I get to sit with my friends while the guys talk business. Their gazes regularly scan the room. I see Kammy move to the mat with a warrior. I still can’t get over the shock of humans being on other planets. The bluemoonian laughs as she’s wrestled to the mat. Humans aren’t too weak for warriors.
Skyla and Hallie fill me in on what they’ve been up to and ask what I’ve been doing. It’s good to talk to them. I’d hate to be the only human from Earth here.
A female warrior decked out in black leather stops to talk to the guys. Blue highlights gleam in her short black hair. Her sweet smile doesn’t match her tough looking style. I lean close to my friends. “Who is she?”
Hallie looks at the warrior and then back at me. “Din Kysa TazLoc. She’s nice but her story isn’t.”
“What do you mean?”
Skyla rubs her belly. “Her seema died.”
“That’s horrible. What happened?”
“He fell and broke his neck while she was on a mission,” Hallie says.
“Flipping fuck, that’s terrible.”
“Right,” Hallie agrees.
Skyla leans even closer. “Now she’s determined to stay seema-free. It’s dang sad.”
Rosda and Rosman come over and the air around us fills with excitement. I get caught up in their happy vibe. As we chat, I see Rosman eyeing Din Kysa and her doing the same to him. After much staring she comes over and whispers in his ear. He shudders and then grins at us as he’s led to the wrestling mat.
This is such a good club.
Mayren walks over to us, her maroon skin glowing. Her pink lips curl into a wide smile. We all start talking about how hot the guys were while going through their fighting demonstrations. A shiver goes up and down my spine at the thought of how Tairin’s muscles rippled as he fought.
The beat pulses through the club keeping the energy alive and the people revved up. Between the atmosphere and Tairin I don’t stand a chance.
Mayren’s eyes glaze over with love and lust. I follow her gaze and see that Din Noleb Fabke has joined the other warriors.
Skyla nudges Mayren. “What’s up with the glazed eyes?”
Guilt flashes through her expressive eyes. “I don’t know. Din Noleb makes me feel things I shouldn’t.”
Hallie forces the issue. “Like what?”
Mayren looks longingly at Din Noleb. “I’m confused. I like my job but he makes me want to be only with him.”
Skyla slaps her leg. “Well dang, girl. Tell him. What if he feels the same way?” Skyla watches Din Noleb come our way. “Be aggressive. Tell him how you feel.”
Mayren only has time to nod before Din Noleb asks her to play and then he whisks her off. I didn’t miss the loving way he looked at the sweet mewmosian.
Rosda sighs. “Looks like we’re about to lose a plaything. I liked her.”
A warrior comes over and asks Rosda to play. She purrs as she’s led away.
Chattering and the fluttering of wings has me looking up. My jaw drops when I see two male brewmars battling in the air. It’s Ko and Bo. They have tiny swords. The music softens. I can hear the sing of metal. Their wings are a blur as they thrust, block, and dodge. Their muscles flex as they fight.
I stare in disbelief when Lo and Po tackle the males and then fly off with their prizes.
Skyla wiggles her eyebrows. “I know what they’re going to do.”
“The same thing we are,” Din Ryk says and then leads Skyla to a soft lounge.
Din Tairin takes my hand and starts leading me through the crowd.
“Where are we going?” He hasn’t led me this way before.
“To the Hide and Seek room. It’s time for you to experience it.”
My heart pounds along with the beat. I’ve heard the playrooms are a blast. Looks like I’m about to find out for myself.
We enter the room with Hallie and Din Zar close behind us. Hallie laughs at something Din Zar says and then slips into the plant filled room.
Tairin takes both of my hands in his. “Inside you’ll see paths, benches, art, others playing, and lots of plants. Your job is to hide. Like you would if an enemy was after you. My job is to prove you can trust me to always find you.”
“Are you kidding me? With your sense of smell you’ll find me easily.”
He points at the lush plants. “There are plants inside the room that hinder my sense of smell.”
Excitement rushes through me. “I’m going to make this hard for you.”
His eyes light up. “I’m glad to hear that. Now go hide, little seema.”
I whirl around and slip into the lush room. Awe fills me as I take in all the stone paths and thick foliage. I hear giggles and moans. When I hear footsteps, adrenaline pushes me forward and into a cove.
I stare at a statue of a couple. The warrior is staring down at the female. Confidence shines in his eyes. I’ve seen that look in Din Tairin’s eyes as well as his friends’ eyes. The female has a trusting look on her face. Do I look that way at Din Tairin?
I hear footsteps coming closer. A hand comes from the plants and pulls me inside. Flipping fuck. I relax when I turn and see Hallie. She puts a finger over her lips. I grin and nod my understanding.
I hear a tsking sound and then footsteps moving away.
Hallie leans in close and whispers, “Don’t let the art distract you.”
“Thanks, I’ll try not to in the future,” I whisper back.
Hallie moves on and so do I. A moan from nearby has my pulse thundering. What will happen when I’m caught? Desire whips around in my core. I hear footsteps and push my lust aside. I need to make this hard for him. When my clit pulses I know the sex is going to be better than ever.
Working my way through the plants is hard but exhilarating. I creep out into a cove and my stomach sinks when Din Tairin walks into it. “Flipping fuck.”
He just chuckles and then moves on. My heart does a backflip. That was Din Zairin. I haven’t been caught yet!
I slip in and out of the plants and coves. Keep moving is my strategy. I head into a new cove and stop when I see Tling By and a warrior writhing in ecstasy. Their shouts of completion fill the air. I take a step back and slip into another cove. It’s the one with the statue of the couple.
I jump when I hear a tsking sound right before strong arms wrap around me.
Knowing I’m caught, I sink into his embrace.
A shiver runs through me when he nuzzles my neck. “You did well, Kinsey Lea. Drokty. I’m proud of you.”
His praise lifts my spirits.
He inhales deeply and then growls softly against my neck. Goosebumps ripple over my skin.
He turns me in his arms. His hands caress my back. “I never want to let you go. Let me love you, mark you, keep you, cherish you. Be my kesdy, Kinsey Lea Walker.”
My heart does a double backflip. I look at the statue. Like the female, I trust my warrior.
I look into his beautiful eyes. I see love. “I love you. I’ll flipping gladly be your kesdy.”
Fire lights his eyes. “Let’s make it so, my special one.”
♥ ♥ ♥
The evening air is cool and clean. My skin is hot and my heart is flittering faster than a hummingbird’s wings.<
br />
We just got home. Home. Will he stay with me forever? Will he take me being his kesdy seriously? My flipping past flashes through my mind. It’s not a pretty sight.
His warm hand touches my lower back as he guides me toward our bedroom. I think of the female in the statue. She looked at her warrior with trust and love. I already love him and so far he has been trustworthy. I have no reason to doubt him. I glance up at him. My soul turns to mush. Nobody looks at me the way he does. My harden heart cracks. The shell around it falls like dead weight, fast and hard. I feel light and free.
He guides me into the bedroom. The gold strands in his eyes are glowing and pulsing. Love is radiating from him.
I can’t hold back the words imprinting in my soul. “I’ll love you forever.”
“Good, because that’s how long you’ll be my kesdy, my special love, my cherished one.”
My soul flies higher than any pretty bird can go. My body is alive with an undefinable sensation. It’s brighter than the stars.
Tairin releases a sensual growl and a switch is flicked within me. Desire floods my body to molten levels. Need like I’ve never known slams into me.
He inhales and then practically purrs. “Your body smells so zyfing good. It’s heating to be claimed.” He growls again and moisture pools between my thighs. In a blur of motion he strips his clothes off and then I feel his strong hands removing my clothes. Cool air breezes over my hot skin.
When all motion stops and he looks at me with love, I can’t doubt him or worry about us being so different. Love doesn’t care about those things. It’s time for me to try to forget my past. Embrace my future.
He releases a soft sexy growl. “It’s time to make you mine, Kinsey Lea.”
He kisses me deeply. Our hearts merge. Heat blazes through me. I devour him as much as he devours me. I can’t get enough of him.
My heart leaps with excitement, love, and lust. He breathes in and then growls with intention. I gasp when I’m turned and bent over the edge of the bed. Warm rough hands run over my back and butt. Flames of love and need pulse through me.
Strong hands caress my rounded cheeks and then spread them. I cry out when his tongue swipes over my wet slit and doesn’t stop until I’m panting in need.
“Please,” I beg.
He stills and then growls. The sound ripples through me. Hot and sexy. His hands press heavily onto my lower back and then his fangs slink into my left hip. I freeze in place. My body feels like clay. Solid yet ready to be changed—marked by him.
Something sharp pierces the skin of my right hip. Pain flares through me. My body doesn’t move though because it’s held in place by his fangs. His claw moves through my skin with ease.
I’m being marked. His growl of possession sets off a wildfire of need within me.
His fangs sink deeper. Lust powers through me. My pussy turns hotter than the sun and wetter than the ocean.
When he removes his fangs, I growl. “Flipping fuck me now, keslon.” Yes, he’s mine. I need to feel him deep within me.
“With pleasure, kesdy.” His solid shaft slides through my pussy, my soul sings. He grips my hips tight as his hips snap powerfully. I clench the sheet and look over my shoulder. His eyes are filled with fiery passion and possession.
He buries his hard shaft all the way inside me. His whole length pulses with untamed life. He growls as his body tightens. Hot jets of semen fill me and push me over the edge.
I sag into the bed as my climax washes through me. As I float he pulls out. His seed splashes across my stinging mark, cooling my symbol of belonging. Tairin rubs his cum into the mark. The air thickens with animalistic possession. I love it, crave more of it.
With a roar of victory he shoves his cock inside me and leans forward. His fangs sink into my shoulder. I scream and shudder as light blinds me and ecstasy rocks my whole body. Fangs slip from my skin, rough hands caress, and soft lips brush my shoulder.
His cock drives home one more time. His huge body settles on mine as his seed coats my inner walls and dampens my thighs.
The scent of sex perfumes the air. Love radiates around us.
I never want this moment to end.
With his body pressing into mine, his breath on my neck, and his mark on my hip, my soul settles into a satisfied place I’ve never known before. I’ve come home. It’s a beautiful place I’ll never willingly leave.
As long as I don’t do anything to push him away, I know I’ll get to stay. I’ll fight to stay with him. My keslon, my love.
CHAPTER
22
~ Kinsey Lea ~
♥
The camleons are flying all around me as I slide the last section of the birdhouse together.
“Now you can invite more of your friends to live here.” The other houses are full. Joy pings around inside me.
I stand back and look at my completed birdhouse. “Not bad. Do you guys think I should go into business?”
A hand lands heavily on my shoulder. I nearly jump out of my skin. One of the guys is about to get a tongue lashing, warrior status be damned.
I look over and up into yellow eyes. I stagger back and the silver skinned male grabs my wrist.
Aggression whips through me. “What the flipping fuck? Let go of me.”
“I don’t think so, human.” He starts dragging me toward the jungle.
I dig my heels into the ground. He looks around nervously and then gives my arm a hard tug. I fly forward. He gets me into the lush jungle in no time.
My heart thunders. Heat rages through my veins.
“This isn’t funny. Stop or you’ll be sorry.”
He looks me over with his scary yellow eyes—calculating eyes. “I’d only be sorry if I didn’t jump on this opportunity.” He starts pulling me faster through the lush land.
“What are you planning to do to me? I’m not valuable.” To my keslon I am. But this alien doesn’t need to know that.
Gruff laughter rings cruelly through the warm air. “We both know you are important to a certain warrior.”
My memory snaps into place. “You are the guy Din Tairin turned away at the club.”
He taps his head making his maroon hair stick out. “Now you’re getting it. You are important in more than one way.”
I dig my heels in again. “What do you mean?” My stomach turns into an old timey cast iron skillet. The ones like Milo’s grandfather collected. Large, hot, and heavy a hell.
I have to get away from him. I tug my hand. He pulls harder. I stumble and fall to the leaf littered ground. Rage pumps through me. I scoop up a handful of leaves and toss them into his face. He growls as he dodges in time to avoid a direct hit. In a flash, he has a grip on my wrist again. Tighter than ever. He jerks me to my feet.
I scream and he snarls as he looks around. “Don’t do that again, human.”
I don’t miss the warning in his voice but I just don’t care. I have to get back to Tairin.
He starts pulling me faster. I stumble again and he slows a bit.
Sweat beads my skin. I look down and see that my uniform sticks to my slightly rounded belly. Flipping fuck. I’m nearly naked. Nausea surrounds the cast iron in my stomach. I can’t go out like this.
I can’t physically attack this fucker without hurting the baby but I can talk.
“Look, you were right. I’m needed here. My warrior will pay more than what you’re being offered.”
He looks around and snarls.
The hairs on the back of my neck stand up. “Did you hear me? He’ll pay more.”
“Shut up.” His snarl is menacing, dark. He means business.
My heart flips out. Heat rolls through me, hotter than ever. I bite my tongue. I can’t bitch this fucker out. I have to protect the baby.
As he mutters to himself, I look for an escape. When he turns and pulls me back the way we came, I know he’s lost. Good. This will give Tairin a chance to find me. I still keep my eyes open. The need to get away is getting stronger by the
second.
My wrist starts aching as we walk and walk. “My wrist and feet hurt. Can we stop? Just for a second.”
He snarls and keeps staring around. Oh yeah, he’s lost. Hope swells in my chest. It’s brighter than the sun.
His distracted gaze darts around. I grab his fingers and try to loosen his grip. I cry out when he tightens his hold. My heart sinks. My plan didn’t work. I wasn’t fast or strong enough. Din Treia would kick his ass. I’d love to see him try to take her.
