Hers, Unbroken
Page 21
“I can use lots of help,” Holly assured her. “Reorganizing a society isn’t easy. I’ll be in touch.”
“Oh good,” Chase said after Avalanche and Jacinda disappeared. “Looks like I’m going back to the wrestling ring.”
“You don’t have to fight him,” Holly said.
“I want to. Maybe I’ll pick up wrestling for real. Seems like fun.”
Holly rolled her eyes. “You’ll get yourself beaten up several times a week.”
“Hell, I’m the champion. I can do whatever I want.”
“I’m glad Avalanche decided to stay on Silenia,” Holly mused. “You and he are the new definition of sexy. Everyone is going to want what Jacinda Reed and I have, but enough consenting aliens aren’t living on this planet for all the Silenians who want them. That’s going to be a problem.”
“You’re going to have to advertise on other worlds,” Chase said. “Bored in your job? Not getting enough sex? Become a sex pet on Silenia! A lifetime of kinky fun with all expenses covered.”
“This is a serious matter,” she scolded him.
“I’m dead serious,” he replied. “People—especially hybrids—will come here merely for the promise of sex and getting lusted after. Once you spread the word that this is no longer a slave planet, they’ll be here. And then Silenians get to have fun with aliens again.”
“But this time, with mutual consent.”
“I think everyone will find it more fun that way.”
She grinned and leaned over him again. She kissed him long and thorough, her deft tongue darting into his mouth. Chase tried to pull her even closer, but she broke away with a wicked glint in her eyes.
“What do you have in mind?” he asked, starting to rise, but Holly made a forbidding sound.
“You’re staying exactly where you are. You’re injured, remember?”
“I’m fine.”
“Your Mistress commands it.”
Chase settled back down. His heart pounded with eager anticipation. Holly removed the silk covers laid over him. He wore only a pair of boxers, and Holly hooked her fingers in the waistband and pulled them down his legs, removing them. He lay naked before her, his cock hard and ready for her. His right shoulder was still bandaged, but the rest of his body had recovered from his ordeals.
Holly gave his body a long, appreciative look then climbed on top of him. She didn’t remove her silk robe, but as she straddled him, he realized she wasn’t wearing anything underneath it.
Whoa.
His eyes widened as Holly sank on his cock, her pussy hot and wet for him.
“Mistress!” he rasped out.
He could scarcely breathe, her pussy so perfectly tight it made him groan. Holly let out a satisfied moan and began to rock her hips.
“You’re so big, Chase,” she murmured, a flush of arousal on her cheeks. “So right. Perfect.”
Pleasure spread through him. Holly made him feel so wanted, and she seemed to know exactly what he needed. He knew chains and spankings were in store for him later. Holly had promised him that, and he knew they both looked forward to it. But right now, nothing felt better than his Mistress riding him seductively, gazing down at him with love and passion in her eyes, her fingers lacing with his.
Afterward, she curled up against him and put her head on his chest. Chase put his good arm around her and they lay together, basking in their joint warmth.
Chase knew his world should be perfect, but one little thing could have made him even happier. He couldn’t get it out of his mind. “Holly, I’ve wanted to ask you something,” he murmured.
“Go ahead.” Her voice was soft and warm with the afterglow, her fingertips drawing lazy patterns on his chest.
Anxious because bringing up the topic might ruin this moment, Chase now wondered if he should have waited until the next day.
“Just a theoretical question,” he said quickly. “I know we’ve got too much on our hands right now, what with Silenians freeing their pets and all, so it’s not important. And I would never pressure you.”
“Yes?”
“Not like I’m in a hurry or anything. I’m just curious.”
“Well, what is it?”
“Would you…someday…consider having a baby with me?”
He wasn’t sure if he would make a good father. He merely wanted to know how far Holly would go with him, or if she even wanted children. She lifted her head off his chest and looked him straight in the eye. Her beautiful gray eyes were serious and unreadable.
“No Silenian has ever had a baby with an alien,” she said. “You know that, don’t you?”
Chase tried to swallow the crash of disappointment. “Yeah,” he said. “I know. I just—”
“Of course I would have a baby with you,” she cut him off.
Chase’s heart kicked him in the chest. “What?”
Suddenly her eyes were full of emotion. She grabbed his face and pressed her forehead against his. “Of course I would have a baby with you, Chase. It’ll drive the Silenians crazy, but I can handle it if you can.”
“I can handle it,” he replied, bewildered.
The full meaning of her words sunk in and he squeezed her to him. “Oh Holly,” he growled. “My incredible, fearless Mistress.”
She would once again defy her entire nation for his sake. She was right—the Silenians would be scandalized, but he would keep her safe. He would always keep her safe. And he would have the privilege of getting her pregnant someday. The masculine beast in him growled with pleasure. He would be a father and they would be a family. His happy grin was reflected in Holly’s loving gaze.
