Rena gave her a sympathetic smile and Suki knew she understood.
“While a lot of the mates here came through the Bridal program, you’d be surprised how many didn’t. Most weren’t in our situation,” Rena said, “but they suffered in their own way.”
“I thought you and Rena might have enough in common that maybe you could be close friends,” Jennifer said. “I know that being in a strange place can be unsettling, and your mate is very busy. You aren’t alone here, Suki. You can visit with any of the mates anytime. We welcome drop-ins.”
Rena nodded. “Definitely.”
Were they right? Had she been hiding herself away too much? Suki had thought she was just overwhelmed, but maybe it was something more. Maybe she was just scared. Earth had been her home nearly all her life, and after that had been a nightmare. She hadn’t been on Xpashta long enough to really call it her home, and while Zelthrane-3 was nice, it was almost too much at times.
“I guess I have been hiding,” she admitted. “I’m not sure I remember how to act around people. I haven’t had a friend in so long.”
Jennifer reached out and placed her hand over Suki’s. “Just be yourself. None of us bite. I was a single mom on Earth until Siril brought me here. Rena was sold when she was just a kid. Charlotte was given to Borgoz as part of a contract with a powerful politician on Earth. She was miserable before Borgoz fell in love with her. We all support one another. You don’t have to be alone, Suki.”
Suki’s throat grew tight with unshed tears. “Thank you.”
Rena smiled widely. “I think someone is looking for you.”
Suki turned and saw Tark entering the diner. His gaze scanned the room until it locked on her. He moved with a warrior’s grace as he drew nearer, then pulled up a chair and joined them. She reached for his hand, feeling the warmth of his palm seep into her.
“I was told I might find you here,” he said.
“Are you done for the day?”
He nodded. “It was a productive council session. I think my people will be pleased.”
“We haven’t ordered yet if you’d like to join us,” Beren said. “The females were too busy talking to look at the menu.”
Tark chuckled. “I could eat.”
The look he cast her way left Suki with no doubt he wasn’t referring to food, and her cheeks warmed. Jennifer snickered and Rena looked like she was fighting a smile, neither missing the look. Beren smirked and turned his gaze away.
“Maybe you should get something to go,” Jennifer suggested. “Enjoy your free afternoon and have a picnic in your home.”
“Picnic?” Tark asked.
“You could spread a blanket on the floor, maybe near those lovely floor to ceiling windows in the living room, and enjoy your lunch in peace and quiet,” Jennifer said.
“I think I like that idea,” Tark said, rising. “I’ll place an order and we can go.”
As he walked off, Rena and Jennifer giggled.
“I don’t think it’s food he’s interested in,” Jennifer said.
Beren turned back toward them. “Really? As if any male would be thinking of food when his mate is so near, especially one who is expecting. Human females get even hotter and wetter inside when they’re pregnant and turned on. Extra hormones.”
Rena smacked him on the arm. “Not appropriate talk for lunch.”
He shrugged, but Suki could see the humor lurking in his eyes.
When Tark returned to the table, he held a bag in his hand and reached for Suki with his other. She went with him willingly, and pressed close to his side as they walked through the streets back to their home. She pulled a blanket off the bed and spread it near the windows in the living room. Tark knelt on the edge of it, pulling the food from the bag and setting it out.
Suki went to their kitchen and got them each a drink before sitting next to her mate. They ate in silence, but there were more than a few heated looks exchanged between them. Suki had barely swallowed the last bite of her food before Tark had pinned her beneath him. She smiled up at her mate and ran her fingers through his hair. The weight of his body pressed against her, but he was careful not to hurt her. Tark was always careful when it came to Suki, and she loved him for it.
“Now that I’ve provided food to satisfy your belly, there’s another part of you I’d like to…”
She giggled and covered his mouth. “Just get naked.”
Tark winked and rolled off her, stripping off his clothes in record time. Suki pulled hers off as well, then held out her hands to her mate. Tark knelt between her splayed thighs and leaned down to kiss her, his lips nearly devouring hers. When he pulled away, she pulled her knees to her chest, slid her feet up his torso then draped her ankles over his shoulders.
Tark’s gaze lowered to her pussy and heat flared in his eyes. He shifted his weight and she felt his cock brush against her slit. Without warning, he plunged deep and hard, filling her. Suki cried out and grabbed fistfuls of the blanket, her nipples tightening and need pulsing through her.
“Yes! Take me, Tark! Hard and deep. Fuck me.”
He growled and narrowed his eyes. She’d learned he hated when she called it fucking, but sometimes that’s exactly what a woman needed. He powered into her, his cock slamming into her wet pussy over and over. Suki tossed her head as she felt her orgasm drawing close. There were times she nearly came the moment he entered her. This would be one of the times she came quickly, but she knew Tark would never be satisfied giving her only one release. He always left her weak and sated.
“More,” she begged.
Tark leaned back, spreading his knees and gripping her hips. His hips bucked, and every stroke of his cock made her gasp and plead for him to never stop. It amazed her that a man who had never been with a woman before her could turn her inside out so quickly. But he rocked her world every time they were together. He’d been a quick study, and she had no doubt that soon he would be the master and she’d be the student.
His body tensed and with every driving thrust, he pulled her hips toward him, not just fucking her with his cock but using her body to go even deeper. Suki screamed out her release and moments later felt the hot splash of Tark’s release filling her.
His chest heaved and glistened with sweat. Suki smiled up at him and reached out to tweak his nipple. Tark growled, but there was affection in his gaze.
“You know, the doctor here said that pregnancy can make women want lots of sex,” she said.
“Is that so?”
Suki grinned. “Lots and lots.”
Her cyborg was still hard, even though his release was leaking out around the shaft still buried in her pussy. He gave her a few strokes, then abruptly pulled out and flipped her over. Suki gave a squeak of surprise. Tark lifted her hips and slammed into her again.
“Oh, God. Tark, I… Oh, fuck.”
He fisted her hair and took her like a man possessed. No matter how many times he made her come, she’d always want just one more. Even when her legs gave out, and she was seconds from passing out from exhaustion, she still craved his touch.
Tark grabbed her breast and played with her nipple, twisting and pinching, until she was screaming her way through another orgasm. When he came for the second time, he kept his body joined with hers, but lay on his side with her wrapped in his embrace. He kissed the top of her head and murmured words of love.
Suki might have thought her life was over the day aliens abducted her, but really it had just been beginning. If they hadn’t sold her, she never would have met Tark, and he was perfect for her in every way. The longer they were together, the more confident he became in the bedroom and around her in general. The shy, unsure cyborg she’d met, the one who had feared she would reject him, was long gone. The warrior who proudly stood next to her, fucked her until she passed out, was the most incredible guy she’d ever met. And he was hers.
“I love you, my mate,” he murmured.
“I love you too, Tark. So very much.”
“Sl
eep, my Suki. After some rest, I’ll make you beg for my cock some more.”
Suki smiled and closed her eyes. Her life might not have been perfect, but it had given her a perfect guy. For a guy who had never touched a woman before, Tark knew exactly how to make Suki scream his name again and again. Although, she did wonder if there was such a thing as death by orgasm. Was it possible to come too much? Suki sighed and pressed a hand to her belly. An incredible man. New friends. And a baby on the way. Suki didn’t think it was possible to be happier than she was now, and she couldn’t wait to see what tomorrow would bring.
Intergalactic Multiverse
Dear Reader,
Thank you for purchasing a copy of Saved by the Cyborg (Cy-Con 3)! It’s taken me nearly a year to get Tark and Suki’s story just right. I know you’ve been waiting a while for this book, and I hope it didn’t disappoint. I refuse to release a title before it’s ready because you deserve my best work, even if it means pushing a title back a few months (or longer). I know delays can be frustrating and I apologize for the longer than usual wait.
For those of you who aren’t as familiar with my aliens, the Tourmalanes in the story were first introduced in the Intergalactic Loyalties series. You can read Lucie and Prince Drexyl’s story in Cherished. The other human and Tourmalane prince are the main characters of Fated. If this isn’t your first foray into my alien books, then you’re likely already familiar with the Zelthranites. If you aren’t, you can read more about them in the Intergalactic Brides series! Several couples are mentioned from that series toward the end of Tark and Suki’s story, and each couple has their own story.
I appreciate your support! While I would still write even if my books weren’t published, seeing your comments online or hearing from you after you’ve read one of my books is what makes it all worthwhile. Thank you for joining me on this journey. If you’d like to be notified of new releases, be sure to visit me online, and sign up for my newsletter at http://eepurl.com/dz7enX!
Thank you,
