I drink in the information. My pulse starts racing when I find out that they believe that a male’s duty to his female is to mate her as often as possible. Orgasms are good for the body and mind.
I totally agree.
“Oh shit.” These people believe in openly having sex. “Oh shit.” The voyeurs don’t normally touch a mating couple but they openly come. Heat swirls in my core at the thought of fucking Rylem with others watching and getting off too.
I hungrily read on and find that they believe an active sex life equals good health. “Oh shit.” The males regularly sniff females’ necks to see if their males are taking care of business on a daily basis. “They must have a great sense of smell.”
I like that they check up on each other. I’m glad Rylem let me read about his people. Now I know what to expect. He is truly honorable. I’ll prove my worth to him. I don’t want to be sold to anyone else.
The big guy is getting under my skin.
I keep reading and reading. Some of it is rather boring. My eyes skim some more and then widen. “This part is not boring at all.” I read a little more. “Yes, dagrinians have a weak spot right behind their ears. Looks like all I have to do is press hard behind both ears at the same time and they pass out. I bet Rylem forgot that tidbit of information was in here.”
It’s going to take every ounce of self-discipline I’ve got to not use that move on him the second he walks in that door.
A noise outside has me tensing and listening closely. I put the device down and quietly move closer to the door. If a stranger comes in here he’ll be sorry. I stand to the side of the door and wait…and wait.
When I don’t hear any more voices for a long while, I go back to my studying. I’m a little disappointed. I could have used the exercise. A good fight would have been great. If things had gone bad I could have tried out my new knowledge. Now I’ll have to wait.
I scan the device and learn that days are active cycles and nights are resting cycles. Those were things I was already catching on to. Here’s something new. A month is a moon cycle and there are forty active cycles in a moon cycle.
“Sheesh, these people like to drag a month out.” I read on. “Holy shit. There are twenty moon cycles in a year. Looks like they like to drag out their years even more than their months.”
My jaw drops when I find out that they live longer lives because their environment isn’t full of toxins like other planets. “They’d never make it on Earth.”
I like the way they take care of their planet. It sounds like a great place to settle. My grandmother and friends would have liked it there. A pang of sorrow slips into my heart. I let it dwell there for a few moments. Then I gently push it away. I have to be strong and embrace my new life.
I lost one life and gained another.

~ Niya ~

I wake up to his delicious scent.
It’s time.
A thrill runs up my spine. I glance over at Rylem. He is so handsome. At the moment he’s sleeping peacefully. The normally intense look on his face is softened. My gaze runs over his chest and arms. Looking at the curve of his muscles has desire stirring in my core.
Yes, it’s time. I run through my claiming routine in my head. I smile as I remember asking him yesterday how to open the front door for future reference. He can still lock me in, but he doesn’t lock it when he’s home. I look my warrior over and smile.
Rylem’s been staring at me with hungry eyes for days. He touches and kisses me every chance he gets. The heat between us is growing out of control. He has been patiently building the sexual tension within me. From the tent that’s been in his pants, I know he’s aching as much as I am.
Today I’m going to do more than touch and kiss him. I’m going to claim him the way my ancestors claimed their mates. He won’t fully understand the ritual, but he will understand that our relationship is changing.
I’m taking what I want. In this uncertain life, tomorrow is not guaranteed.
Energy whooshes through my whole body as I carefully shift over him and place my hands right behind his ears. That he’s sleeping on his back is perfect. I couldn’t have planned it better. I curve my fingers and tense my muscles.
His pretty sapphire eyes open. I smile at him and press hard. His eyes widen and then close.
Adrenaline powers through my veins. I let out a loud victory mating chant. I take off my necklace and put it on him. This alien is mine.
I go to the door, open it, and let out another mating chant. When I see a male coming my way, I stroll back to my mate and let loose another chant. This one is lower and more musical. It lets the others know I plan on taking good care of my mate.
Today is a good day.
A massive male appears in the doorway. This one is a touch shorter than my male but his muscles are thicker than Rylem’s. His keen eyes scan us and then the room. That dark gaze comes back to me.
I notice that he’s pressing a button on his comm unit without even looking at it. “What are you doing and how did you knock Rylem out?” he demands with narrowed eyes.
I straighten and lean in closer to my male. Another male rushes in. I recognize him as the one that bought Kanda. He must be Klimen Trillobe. “I’m claiming Rylem Trillobe as mine.”
A third male rushes in and assess the situation. His light blue eyes go from serious to humor filled. A smirk curls his lips. “What is going on?”
I rest my hand on Rylem’s chest. “I’m claiming Rylem Trillobe as mine.” Power rushes through me. It feels good to stake my claim.
The male that entered the room first frowns. “You can’t do that.” He points at me. “You belong,” he says as he points at Rylem, “to him.”
I stare him down. “And now he belongs to me.” I refuse to back down. This alien is mine.
The smirking male says, “I’m glad you’re feeling better.” His light blue gaze moves over me and then comes back to my face. “You look much healthier. Rylem has been taking good care of you. Now you want to tell me how you knocked him out.”
“He let me read up on dagrinians. It was very interesting reading.”
All three of them bust out laughing.
“Looks like my brother did it to himself, Captain,” Klimen says.
“It seems so,” the captain says.
“What do you want to do about this, Captain?” the third male asks.
“We find out what Rylem has to say about it, Rivlok.”
Rivlok nods once and then presses a button on his comm unit. A high-pitched sound fills the room. I clap my hands over my ears. Rylem groans and then his eyelids spring open.
In a whirl of motion, Rylem leaps up. His knees sink into the bed as he shields me. “Stay,” he says over his shoulder.
Rylem has no idea I’m the one who knocked him out. He doesn’t need to protect me. A touch of pain circles my heart. Does he think I’m some weak person who has no fighting skills? I’ll have to prove myself to him and the others. I am not worthless. I am a tough warrior who is taking what she wants.
Rylem looks at his friends. “What’s wrong? Are we being invaded?”
They all chuckle.
“An invasion happened all right,” the captain smirks.
Rylem leaps from the bed and turns to me. “Stay here.” He tries to pass the others, uncaring of his naked state.
These guys really are open-minded.
“Move, Klimen. I need to get dressed. How many are there?”
“Only one,” Rivlok answers.
“One? Do we know where he is and what his mission is?”
“Grauling right, we know,” the captain says.
Rylem’s brows slash across his brow. “Well what is it?”
Klimen smiles and then laughs. “Her mission is to claim you.”
Rylem tries to look around his friends. “A female is here to claim me! Where is she? Do we know why?”
“Rizpa nin, this is good,” the
captain says.
Rylem growls. “Stop playing with me. This is serious. I can’t have some wild female coming in here with Niya here.”
Laughter bursts from the males. The sound echoes off the walls.
I get off the bed and stand next to Rylem. “I’m the female they are talking about.” I touch the necklace I put on him. He tenses and then relaxes. “I claimed you.” I release the musical mating chant of my people and it feels good.
“Drikners, he just let her touch his necklace without a fight,” Rivlok says.
“This is good,” the captain says.
I frown and look at the males. What are they talking about? I’ve touched his necklace several times.
Klimen points at Rylem. “He never lets people touch his necklaces. He believes it takes their power away.”
Rylem says, “It does. Each one helps me in different ways—strength, peace, decision making.” He touches his newest necklace. “We have to talk about this.” His gaze turns to his grinning friends. “Time for you guys to go.”
The captain nods once. His eyes are lit with humor. “You do have a lot to take care of.”
“Yes, he does and I need to get back to my human,” Klimen says and then heads toward the outer door.
As Rivlok walks away, he says, “I didn’t know humans were that strong.”
“Neither did I,” the captain answers.
Pride surges through me. It takes a good warrior to surprise another one. Today…this active cycle, I’ve shown them that not all humans are weak.
Since I didn’t kill Rylem when I had the chance, I’ve started the foundation for them to begin trusting me. And since they didn’t kill me when they saw what I’d done proves that they are not rash and undisciplined.
I release another chant. This one shows how happy I am.
The look of confusion and lust in my alien’s eyes has a new wave of adrenaline powering through my veins.
Desire for my mate pulses through me. I need him now. “I think it’s time for us to move our relationship forward.”
CHAPTER

~ Rylem ~
♥
Blood pounds through my head.
I can’t believe she knocked me out and claimed me. I’ll never hear the end of this. One look into her golden eyes and my heart flips. She is so beautiful. She is also lost when it comes to her place.
My protective side rears up at the thought of her trying that move on any other dagrinian. She’s too fragile. It’s my job to protect my people…and she is definitely one of my people.
I look at her bare neck and reach up to touch the necklace she put on me. “You can’t go around knocking dagrinians out.” I roll a bead on the necklace she placed on me. “And you can’t just claim me. You’re my sesien min. I could claim you but I’m not ready for that right now.”
Her gaze proudly takes in her claiming necklace and then moves up to mine. “Don’t worry. The claim is just temporary. It shows that I accept you as my lover, for the moment. Life is too uncertain for forever.”
My chest tightens at her words. Some crazy part of me wanted forever with her. I push the insane impulse aside. I don’t know her well enough for that.
Deep down a voice whispers that I need to get to know her that well.
I shake my head to clear it. The strange feeling recedes but not the lust. That she was bold enough to try and claim me has my erection growing fuller. Something about this little human calls to me.
“I agree, to a point. I think we should make the most of our lives…take what’s offered.” I bury my hands in her long straight hair and pull her up on her toes. Her hands rest on my sides as our mouths collide.
Mmmm, her taste is sweet and womanly. The scent of her arousal is already filling the air. Breathing deep, I relish her taste and aroma. Our tongues duel. I fight to conquer her. She nips my lip. I growl. She licks my stinging lip.
“You are so grauling sexy.” I cup her head and deepen the kiss.
Her hands start roaming my back. I shudder at the feel of her touching me…caressing me. My skin sucks up every touch. A tingle starts heating my balls and lower back.
Niya groans and rubs her body against mine. When she pulls back and starts kissing down my chest, I growl softly. I long to throw her on the bed and mate her hard, but I can’t. She’s a human. To fragile for rough sex.
When her teeth rake over my nipple, I groan. “Don’t start something you can’t finish, little warrior.”
She drops down onto the bed and pulls me closer. She sniffs my cock. Her lusty gaze comes up to mine. “I can finish it.”
I suck in a harsh breath when her lips spread wide and she takes my dark red crown in her hot mouth. Her hand wraps around my purple shaft and squeezes. I shudder when her tongue starts swishing from side to side rubbing against the underside of my tip.
I have to see her supple body. I start tugging my shirt off of her. Her mouth release me with a pop. She raises her arms and I rip the material off her and toss it to the side.
A soft growl comes from deep within me. Her nipples are pebbled dark sweetness. I touch one.
She shivers and shakes her head. “Not yet.” She points to the base of my erection. “What’s that and what does it do?”
“It’s my rospet. The small sex-organ helps females who have a bundle of nerves in front to get wet. It gives great pleasure to me and my partner. Lean back and I’ll show you.”
Niya runs her finger down my cock and right up to my rospet. The things starts moving. Her eyes light up. “Can I touch it?”
“Yes, but be careful. Too much stimulation can make me forget you’re a little human.” She tenses and then relaxes. Did I hit a nerve?
“I’m not weak. I can handle you.” She cups my balls and puts her mouth over my rospet. A breath later her tongue brushes over my sensitive flesh. I shudder when my rospet latches onto the tip of her tongue.
A surge of lust rips up my spine. “Rizpa nin!” Another shudder courses through me when she pulls her tongue back and then presses it forward again. I growl a warning. Precum leaks from my aching tip.
She strokes my balls and pulls back. I watch as she runs her tongue up my throbbing cock. At the crown she stops, looks at my fluffy white release and then gives me a sexy-wicked smile.
My crown disappears into her mouth and she sucks hard. When she moans I lose all control. I grip her head, flex my hips, and release a fierce growl as I come in her hot mouth. Her fingers tighten on my sac. I snarl and shoot out more come. She swallows and then licks me clean.
“I love the nutty flavor of your cum.” She licks her lips.
I push her back onto the bed and drop down to my knees. I spread her thighs wide and stare at her pussy. The trimmed curls guarding her entrance are damp with her juices and smell delicious.
She rests on her elbows and watches me. The hunger in her pretty golden eyes stokes the fire in my lower belly. I growl softly and she growls back. “Black star, that’s sexy.” Her eyes glow at my words.
If she was uncertain about my appreciation of her human body, she won’t be for much longer. I trace her puffy outer lips and then her dark pink inner ones. I explore the folds at the top of her pussy. She squirms and moans. Yes, her clit is right here. Moisture drips from her entrance. I lap it up.
