I buried my face in her neck, baring my teeth and itching to bite into her. To return the sensations that made me feel like I could lose control. She arched her neck and let her head fall back. I took the delicate skin between my teeth and licked, sucking as I bit down. Not enough to break the skin, but enough to let her know she belonged to me now. What I hadn’t said as I’d blundered through my attempt at teasing, was that she really was my mate.
I didn’t know if the word ‘mate’ would be the right thing to say to the woman I’d only known for a few weeks, but it was true. I’d had plenty of sex with different females in my life, but I hadn’t felt the primal urge to impregnate any of them. Not until Evvie. Not that I had, but I understood what it meant. Now, with her straddling me, her hands on my skin and her scent in my nose, I knew it to be true. "You are mine now," I whispered when I released her neck. "And I am yours. We have shared something amazing on this planet."
Evvie wiggled her ass and pressed her core against my erection, demanding what I knew I wouldn’t hesitate to give her. Hopefully for the rest of her life. "Jarix, that's what I want. I want off this planet, but only with you by my side."
My heart soared, but I kept my face neutral. I wanted to show her how I felt about her, not mess it up with my words. She wasn't just someone I'd used to relieve my sexual desires since coming to her planet. I admired her strength and humor, her iron will, and her sharp mind. She'd picked up everything I taught her about the ship without a single issue. She was a true warrior, even if she was untrained. She was a perfect match for me. A perfect partner.
Rising with her in my arms, I walked to the closest table, which was conveniently just tall enough to hit me below the waist. I set Evvie on her feet long enough to unwrap her layers of new clothing and my own. Moving slowly—we had all night—I followed the cloth with my lips as it left her body, kissing and caressing every inch of her skin as it was exposed.
She tried to do the same for me, but I didn't give her much room to. As I moved her garments away and dropped them to the floor, she pulled mine apart, unbuttoning and untucking. A slight twinge of fear caught my attention, but I ignored it. We’d thoroughly checked the entire floor, and I’d already disabled the cameras. We wouldn’t be caught, and I couldn’t deny that the fear of being caught was a heady aphrodisiac.
When we both stood naked, I spread my newfound jacket on the table and helped her jump onto it. She laid back and looked up at me, but I didn't touch her yet. I gave my eyes a treat, letting my gaze roam her body, noting the taut stomach muscles. She was too slender, but her muscles were strong from the work she'd done. They spoke to her hard life, and her will to survive. I could imagine working alongside her on Haltrean, happy and safe. The image sent a surge of emotions through me, straight to my throbbing cock. It demanded I act on my emotions, and I wasn’t about to argue.
Her breasts settled since she was on her back, but they were still perky and round, inviting me to worship them. I wondered if they'd grow as she filled out, but even if they didn't, I thought they were perfect already. I couldn't resist reaching out and brushing one finger across each nipple to watch it pebble in the room's cool atmosphere.
Evvie clutched the sides of the table. "Jarix," she pleaded. She needed something from me, but I wasn't ready to move on yet, even though my erection would've begged me in a similarly pitiful voice if it could have. I trailed the finger down those strong stomach muscles and circled her navel, tickling the edges as a smile tugged at my mouth.
She squirmed. "Jarix." Her plea had developed a more urgent tone.
Yet still, I moved my finger lower, my gaze going to her mound. I reached down and lifted her feet to rest on the table, then pushed at her knees so she would spread herself.
"I want to see all of you," I whispered. A flush rose up to her chest and face, but I didn't think she was embarrassed. Her breasts heaved as she spread her legs and her lower lips parted to reveal her glistening sex to me. The folds spread, and as she tried to relax, I saw the edges of her inner walls.
"Beautiful," I whispered. She was eager for me. As she writhed atop the table, the weight of my gaze driving her mad, her insides clenched, and the glistening muscles pushed together. I used one hand to spread her soft lips further apart until the small nub that I knew could break her into a million pieces came into view. With the other hand, I touched it lightly, teasing it more than trying to bring her to climax.
"Jarix," Evvie said sternly, eyeing me with intensity.
She'd had enough of my explorations and teasing. "Okay." I laughed at the stern expression on her face, stepping out of my pants. "I'll see if I can relieve your tensions." Her eyes followed my movements, then her expression grew heavy with desire as my cock came into view.
She settled back onto the table. "Please do, sir."
Still chuckling, I pressed my finger harder onto her clitoris, and she cried out in pleasure. Her inner walls clenched harder. I wanted to feel that clench. I moved the two fingers that had her lips spread and positioned them at her entrance. I pushed her clit again with the other hand while I circled her entrance and watched her face.
Her breath caught in anticipation as she looked at me with brows tightly furrowed and an expectant expression on her face. Plunging two fingers into her core, I curled them up fast and moved my other fingers over her clit in hard, fast strokes. The position was awkward, but I moved my torso forward until I could kiss her belly, her ribs, her breasts. I was grateful for my extra height for the first time since coming to this damn planet.
She screamed, and her stomach muscles contracted at the same time as the muscles in her core. Rising up onto her elbow, Evvie clutched my arm. "Jarix, more." The demand came out breathless, and I did not hesitate to do as my lady commanded. I curled the fingers inside her repeatedly as I felt the rough spot inside her that was her orgasm center, her strongest erogenous zone. She said humans called it a g-spot.
Whatever it was, it helped me give her an orgasm quickly as she clung to my arms and cried out my name. Her core soaked with her desire and as she began to relax, the orgasm waning, I wiped my dripping hands over my cock, stroking a few times to spread the dampness.
Then, I braced myself against the table, positioning myself before her. Pushing the head against her entrance, I slid inside and moaned her name involuntarily. Another sign that she was meant for me. I wanted to tell her I loved her, but not now. Not when I was balls deep inside her.
I wanted her to know I loved her because of her, not because of how amazing she felt, clenched around my cock as I thrust inside. Her muscles continued to clench around me, putting pressure on my shaft. I'd wanted to do this slowly, lovingly, but my body fought to go faster and faster. Bending over the table, I sucked one of her nipples into my mouth as my hips bucked wildly as they attempted to take all the pleasure they could from her warm, soft body.
Evvie grabbed my head, running her thumbs along my ears and fingering the lobes. This female certainly knew how to run with a suggestion. With that movement, I moved my hands to her hips, her nipple still sucked deep into my mouth, and thrust as hard as I could.
She screamed, but cut off halfway. Likely trying not to alert anyone to our presence. I knew we were safe, but I appreciated her mindfulness, even in the throes of passion. "Jarix, more!" The woman was perfect for me. "You are mine," I growled against her breast as I thrust with strong, sure strokes.
She pushed at my chest until I looked up into her eyes. "Wait," she whispered.
Suddenly terrified I'd done something wrong or hurt her, I backed away until I pulled out. "What? Are you okay?"
Laughter danced on her lips as she sat up. "More than okay. But I wanted to try this." She hopped off the table, then bent over it, exposing her perfect ass to me as she wrapped her hands around the edges of the table. "Is this okay?"
I moaned, my knees weakening. "It's more than okay."
I stepped forward reverently, admiring her beautiful form. I placed my hands gently on h
er ass, cupping and brushing along it. Her body responded with a shiver, and I thought I could just barely make out my name whispered on her lips. As I slid inside her tight sheath again, I realized, with this position, my head would hit her erogenous zone every time I entered.
I'd calmed down with the misunderstanding of why she wanted me to move, so I focused on her pleasure again, giving her shallow but intentional strokes to elicit the strongest response possible from her in this position. When she began bucking back against me, using the table to help her move, I knew I'd achieved my goal and grabbed her hips again, sliding my hands down her ass and squeezing the cheeks.
"I'm close," she whispered. "Harder!"
Who was I to ignore the command of my human? I clutched her ass and hips in my hands and pushed forward hard, making her cry out again. "You like it when I fuck you?" I asked.
"Yes, please," she cried. "I love it."
I loved her. But still, I waited to say it. I didn't wait to complete my building orgasm, though. She came a few seconds before I did. I felt her tighten up on me, which helped drive me over the edge. My instincts took over, using her willing body to pleasure me until my orgasm exploded into her with a roar of pleasure and a feeling of ecstasy.
Moving slowly as I tried to draw out the glorious feeling of the orgasm, I slowed until it was gone, then pulled out of Evvie and helped her upright. Pulling her into my arms, I stroked her hair and held her close. "Evvie, there's something I want to say to you."
She looked up at me with eyes full of affection. I gazed into them, feeling relaxed from the sex, yet invigorated by what I wanted to convey. "Evvie, I love you. And not because of how amazing that was."
She blinked up at me several times, then her eyes filled with tears. Her mouth dropped open to reply, but I continued before she could speak. "I love your strength and tenacity. I love your humor and your incredible brain. I love your body, and obviously, I love what we just did, but I love you. All of you. I needed you to know that, once I was sure the affection and feelings of desire I felt for you were pure." Well, there it was. It hadn’t come out as poetically, or as grand, as I’d wanted, but the feeling was sincere. I looked down at my tiny human, stroking that flame-colored hair and watching a single tear fall down her tan cheek.
"I love you, too, Jarix.” She finally whispered. I tightened my grip on her naked body. “I love you, not because you rescued me, but because you're noble and honorable. Because you're a warrior, but you've striven not to take a life since I've known you. Because you risked your freedom to save your sister." She blinked a few times and smiled coyly. "And because you are amazingly sexy, and wickedly talented at what we just did."
Once again, I roared with laughter. "Come on," I whispered. "Sit near me while I finish this up." She smiled and slipped her clothes back on. I watched her body move as I dressed, too. She was graceful. With enough food and water, she'd fill out. I couldn't wait to get her on Haltrean and get her properly fed. I wondered if she'd ever been properly nourished. I'd hunt the planet dry to get her enough game to eat.
"I wonder if we'll be able to farm," I mused. "Once we're away from here there are countless places we can go to trade or barter for tools and supplies we'll need. I can fix their technology as a trade."
"I'd love to farm," she said. "I've only read about it a few times. I've never even been to a real farm. There are so few left here on Earth. Most of the food they eat here in the city is imported by the corporation."
"I read a little about that while sifting through the Terran information," I said. "And I better get back to it."
She sat beside me and talked softly about her hopes for our new planet as I worked on my next project. I found the stats and other information about the ships they had onsite. One of them was perfect for our mission. It had supplies already on board. It had just arrived the day before with a shipment of meat. They were refueling and spending the night in the city before going back with gold mined from the Earth as payment. The ship had already been loaded with water, foodstuffs, and farming implements that were a part of the payment for the food.
Seeds and tools. It was like they'd set the ship up to tempt us. What if they had? I continued delving into the computer until I was sure they hadn't. Then, I changed the flight information for the ship so that the pilot wouldn't return until later in the day. I found a place in the programming that told me he'd be automatically notified.
"I think we're ready," I said as the clock told me it was almost time for the building to be unlocked. "We've done all we can."
She nodded. "Let's go see if the stairs are open."
We walked out of the classroom and turned the corner to go up the stairs as the elevator dinged. An older man with white hair stepped off and gave us an owlish, bewildered expression. "Can I help you?" he asked. He looked past us into the classroom.
"No, thank you," I replied. "We're just leaving."
I put one hand on the door handle to the stairwell and said a silent prayer it would open. It did. Air expelled from my lungs in a rush and I pulled Evvie through the doorway. "Come on," I whispered. "They must've unlocked early today. We need to get moving."
We climbed the stairs with smiles on our faces. I couldn't help but think our having sex on the table in the lab last night was a final fuck off to TerraLink. We'd hidden in their headquarters and were going to get away in one of their ships. We had new identities and a ship ready to take off. I'd even prepped it remotely while we waited. All I had to do was hit the autopilot and it would rise up and take us out of Earth's orbit and toward the Haltrean. Hank would be proud, I hoped.
My nerves jangled as we topped the stairs and looked at the sign beside the door. Roof Access.
"This is it," Evvie whispered. "We're free today." I nodded at her, smiling despite my worry. I opened the door and stepped out into the early morning air, the heat of the day not yet stifling. The sun had risen enough to see the roof clearly, though. It was full of ships. For the tiniest whisper of a moment, I was thrilled. Then I saw them.
In front of all of the ships was a wall of soldiers. Humans and Gurgs, all dressed in battle gear.
"No," Evvie whispered. "No. We were so close." My heart cracked beneath the weight of her words, and I fumbled for a solution.
"Let's make a break for it," I said, hoping beyond hope that it would work. I chose to ignore the sinking feeling of inevitable failure in my gut. Instead, I just pulled the gun we'd taken from the soldiers earlier off of my back and aimed it at the small army before me. With a primal yell, I rushed toward the soldiers, leaving Evvie standing in the doorway. She was going to be a bit of a hindrance, with that still injured leg of hers, and I wanted to keep her out of danger for as long as possible. I didn’t know how they’d figured out we were still in the building, or how they knew we were headed here to the roof, but it spurred my rage.
A few soldiers went down under my fire, and the rest reacted by firing their own weapons. I ducked and dodged, surprised at how far I had to run on the large rooftop to get within fighting range of the soldiers. They broke rank when I got close enough to shoot with accuracy, scattering like a flock of Ehnki. I’d been lucky up to now, hitting most of them in legs or arms or shoulders. Just causing enough pain to put them out of fighting condition, but not kill them. Evvie’s mention of my efforts not to kill was fresh on my mind as I fired on the soldiers again and again.
With the thought of my female, I ducked behind a rooftop vent, and looked back to check on her. Evvie was similarly positioned, though further away. She hid behind an unfamiliar rooftop contraption, barely avoiding being shot. She peeked out every few seconds to fire a shot into the soldiers, and I noticed with pride that she was mostly accurate. My instinct to protect urged me to run to her, to protect her with my body, but I knew I could do more good by myself. I would have to trust that she could handle herself for a minute longer until I could get to the ship. Though, she’d need to come with me. I wasn’t sure if I could dispatch all of the soldi
ers, but if we could get to the ship and take off we wouldn’t have to worry about it. Thinking wildly, an idea occurred to me.
Without another thought, I rushed out from my hiding place amidst shots from their laser weapons. As I ran straight at them, I saw their eyes widen in surprise. I was within a hundred feet of them now, but luckily there were fewer than twenty of them left. Most were moaning on the ground or dragging their wounded bodies away from the fray.
I yelled my battle cry, tossing the weapon to the side and tackling the closest soldier. I noticed out of the corner of my eye as I flew that the gun actually hit a retreating soldier right in the back of the head. He went down with a grunt at the same time that I did. The soldier fell beneath me, while the rest surged upon me, trying to get their hands on me. A few started firing, and at close range I knew it would cause serious damage, so I rolled. The soldier I’d tackled tried with a grunt to fight me, but he was much smaller and covered in armor. He was no match for me, so we tumbled to the side, crashing into another mystery rooftop construction.
The impact knocked the soldier unconscious, so I used his limp body as a shield. I knew the armor would protect his most vital parts, and so didn’t feel cruel in using him. The other soldiers closed in on me, attempting to make a circle. I couldn’t allow that.
I chucked the limp body at the nearest soldier, sending him to the ground in a heap. The rest scrambled forward to try to apprehend me, but I dodged past them, punching one directly in the face as I went. Now behind them, I beckoned to Evvie. She darted out from her hiding spot, intending to race to my side, but she was still too far away.
As I jogged toward the ships, ducking and weaving like a Murnahen in heat, I hoped she would reach me in time. I chanced a backwards glance, but couldn’t see her amidst the Pryori shots and bodies of the soldiers. My glance cost me though, because I tripped and fell hard onto my back. I fell with a grunt, and tried to roll out of the fall back to my feet. I wasn’t fast enough because a soldier was on top of me in an instant, shouting his fury.
