His Virgin Bride (Interstellar Brides: The Virgins Book 1)

by Grace Goodwin

  Oh. My. God.

  I had the hottest guy in the universe looming over me, his hand gripping and stroking his large cock as he looked me over. And I mean looked me over like a wolf ready to eat his prey.

  And I hoped he did. I even parted my thighs a little more so he got the hint.

  This was it. I was going to give my virginity to Von.

  I had no doubts, no worries, not even a blip in my mind about whether or not this was the right thing to do.

  Guys on Earth had been a waste of my time. I could see that clearly now. I hadn’t been interested in any of them because I hadn’t felt like this. It hadn’t been Von.

  They’d all wanted a body to fuck. Just a way to get off. Sex with any of them would have meant nothing to them but a meaningless release. I’d have been fucked and left. None of them had wanted me.

  Von wanted me. He wanted my body, too, but I knew it was so much more. My mark burned with intensity as if it somehow knew that this was it. The moment when we’d finally be one.

  Putting one knee on the bed, Von crawled over me, holding himself up with a forearm he placed near my head. He stroked my hair back from my face, then slid his fingers over the shell of my ear, down my neck, over my breast, my belly, waist, hip and then to my pussy.

  All the while, his dark gaze held mine. He was touching my body, but his eyes were looking at me, seeing my reaction to his soft touch.

  “You’re soaked. Is that all for me? For my cock?” he murmured.

  I nodded, licked my lips. Shifting my leg, I made room for him to settle his hips between mine.

  “You still have your pants on,” I whispered when I felt the coarse material of his uniform instead of his heated skin.

  He grinned. “You’re right. You make me forget everything…but this.”

  His hips rocked into me and the head of his cock slid over my slick, swollen flesh.

  Pushing off, he stood at the foot of the bed and stripped out of his pants and boots and all the while I watched, my every sense tuned to the way he moved, the way he smelled, the way his muscles rippled just beneath his skin.

  It was like my own private porno.

  “Like what you see?” he asked, with his brow raised and the corner of his mouth tipped up.

  I didn’t respond, only crooked my finger.

  “Where was I?” he asked, settling back into place. All he had to do was shift his hips to put himself inside me. I felt the springy hair on his legs where they rubbed against mine. I was so aware of him that I breathed when he did, so focused on him that my body tuned itself to his. If I closed my eyes and focused on the mark, I would swear I could feel his heart beating there. I felt…everything.

  “Not close enough,” I replied, shifting my hips so the head of his cock parted my lower lips and settled at my virgin entrance. “I want you inside me.”

  “You’re not ready for my cock, mate,” he replied.

  I frowned up at him. “I’m ready.”

  He shook his head and kissed me, making me forget why I thought I wasn’t ready. I had no idea how long we kissed, but when he broke away and ran the rasp of his whiskers down my tender skin, all I could say was his name.

  When his mouth sucked on my nipple, I couldn’t even do that.

  Fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him back at the intense feel of his mouth drawing on that turgid tip, then pushing him down farther, wanting more.

  He switched sides, making me brainless with want.

  I couldn’t help but shift my hips, tilt them up to take him in.

  He worked his way lower, ignoring me, ignoring everything but his focused attentions.

  When his breath fanned over my slippery folds, his large hands settling on my thighs to keep them nice and wide for him, he said, “You’ll come, mate. Then I’ll fuck you. I’m big and your pussy will be very tight. I don’t want to hurt you.”

  “Now, I’m ready now.” His hot breath fanned over my heated core and I arched my hips off the bed, desperate for more.

  “I’ll tell you when you’re ready.”

  I should have hated his bossiness, but his head was between my thighs. What woman would argue at a time like this? When he licked me from top to bottom and then latched on to my clit, I tangled my fingers in his hair once again and surrendered, holding on for the ride.

  This time, he didn’t just use his tongue, but slipped the tip of his finger into me.

  “So tight,” he murmured, then returned to pleasuring me with vigor.

  I wanted him to go deeper, but it seemed he was just taunting me.

  “More,” I cried.

  He lifted his head, slid his hand up to cup my breast and met my gaze. “No. I want you to be desperate for my cock to fill you up.”

  “Then do it,” I snapped, flopping my head back on the bed.

  I heard him chuckle just before his tongue flicked over me. “So needy. You want to come, mate?”

  “Yes!”

  “Then come. Now.”

  His words were followed by an all-out assault on my clit. Yes, he’d been taunting me before. Now, he took the tender flesh in his mouth and sucked, and at the same time, flicked his tongue over it.

  “Oh my god,” I moaned.

  I was right there, floating on the very edge. When he moved his hand from my breast to cover my mark, heat flared, shooting like lightning from the mark to my core and I came.

  I screamed.

  I thrashed.

  I begged.

  I clenched down on the very tip of his finger.

  I drowned in pleasure.

  I was too far gone to realize he’d come up over me again.

  “Now you’re ready,” he murmured, settling himself in place. “Look at me, Alexis Lopez from Earth. You are mine. I claim you as my marked mate.”

  “Yes,” hissed out as he slowly filled me, stretching me open with one long, thick stroke. He didn’t stop, wasn’t tentative, but gained entry one inch at a time until he was buried balls deep, his cock bumping the tip of my womb.

  Von’s eyes were on me, watching me closely, as if he were memorizing this moment. I was too caught up in the feel of it, my body’s adjustment to having him inside. I’d had his cock in my mouth and I knew it was big, but having him…there felt like more.

  I wiggled my hips, trying to take him. He held himself still as I squirmed, as I breathed through the feel of it, of him bottoming out in me. How could he not? His cock was so, so big. But I felt his balls rest against my bottom and I knew I’d taken him.

  “Shh,” he crooned. “That’s it. No pain?”

  I forgot all about the fact I was supposed to feel torn open. I’d heard from girlfriends that it hurt. A lot. Like bring ripped in half.

  I’d felt pain, at first, but like the sting on my ass that sharp sting evolved, spreading through my veins until every inch of me was on fire. For him.

  “More.” I clenched down on him and he hissed.

  “Lexi, do that again and I’ll come before I even start moving.”

  I had that much power over him? When I did it again, he said some curse words I’d never heard before, his veins bulging from his temples, strain evident on his face.

  Clearly, the answer seemed to be yes.

  “Then move,” I whispered. “Fuck me. I want you to move. I want to feel you slide in and out of me. I want to feel like you’re mine.”

  “Are you sure?” he asked, seeking assurance. I remembered he’d vowed never to hurt me and in this moment, I understood. He’d expected me to have some pain the first time and he had worried that while he was taking his pleasure, he’d be hurting me.

  “Yes, mate. I want you. I need you to move.”

  He pulled back just a bit, then slid back in. Testing.

  My eyes fell closed at the feel of his cock sliding over sensitive tissues. I lifted my legs and wrapped them around his hips, locking him to me like a greedy bitch. “Yes, like that.”

  He pulled back more this time, slid deep. I rolled my hip
s, rubbing my clit against his body as he rocked into me. God. Yes. This was what I’d been waiting my entire life to experience. I held nothing back. Von was mine and I felt safe in his arms, safe letting go.

  “Again. Again. Von. God, please. Don’t stop,” I said, this time grabbing his back, sliding my hands south and tugging on his ass.

  I lifted my hips into his strokes, into the pleasure, and I met him with each thrust, our bodies slapping together. I felt my wetness easing his way, coating my inner thighs.

  My clit was hyper sensitive from his mouth, and every time he filled me, he rubbed against it, sparking my need from a banked fire to an inferno. I needed to come again, but this time, I wanted him with me, filling me with his seed, making me his forever.

  He moved slowly at first, his thrusts a steady rhythm that made me mewl and whimper and claw at his back. His cadence broke for just a moment, then picked up with even more fervor. In the past, I would lose control, come all over his mouth or his hand while he’d kept his head. It was time for me to watch him lose control, to give in to pleasure, to what my body could make him feel.

  “You’re mine, Von. You’re mine forever.”

  An unintelligible grunt was his only reply, but when I put my hand on his mark, he reared up. His eyes met mine and he shouted my name. His own hand went to my mark and the circle was complete. Something clicked inside me, like a puzzle piece falling into place, but that piece was Von and for the first time in my life I felt complete.

  For a few seconds, I shared his mind as I had in the dream, flooded with his desire, his admiration for me…his love. God, his emotions were so strong I drowned in them, never having dared to hope someone could love me the way he did.

  “I love you.” I chanted the words as he filled me, unable to contain the emotions flooding my system. Even more astonishing, I realized they were true. He’d cared for me and ensured my pleasure. Honored me, protected me, and desired me every moment we’d spent together. And I’d witnessed his selflessness in battle, his fierce pride and deadly skill, a skill he used to protect those weaker than himself.

  As his huge cock filled me, I welcomed him and the bond that would seal us together forever. I gave him everything, heart and soul, mind and body. I held nothing back.

  “Lexi.” He dropped down over me, his hips slowing to a sensual glide as he looked at me. “I love you, mate. I don’t deserve you, but I love you and I’ll never let you go.”

  “Try leaving me and we’ll see who gets the next spanking.”

  The haunted look left his eyes, replaced by mischief as he lowered his head and kissed me. Our hands entwined, he lifted them over my head and held me still as he took his sweet time sliding in and out of my body, as if he had all the time in the world.

  Me, I was more of the dessert first kind of girl, and my body shook beneath his, riding the razor’s edge as his tongue filled my mouth, fucking me as his cock fucked my pussy.

  When I begged, he finally gave over to the basest of male desires, fucking me like a wildman, his control gone. With one, two more deep thrusts, he came. The feel of his hot seed pulsing inside me pushed me over and I came with him. It was perfection, sublime heat.

  While the dream sharing had been intimate, those moments were nothing to this. I’d never felt this close to someone. We were connected. Bonded. One.

  There was no going back. And when he slumped down so his head was on the pillow beside me, his weight heavy but comfortingly so, his cock still deep inside me, I knew I never wanted to go back to the way things were before. My place was here on Everis. With the one male in the entire universe that was mine. Von.

  “Mate,” he murmured. “Mine.”

  Yes, mine.

  He was mine.

  Epilogue

  Lexi

  “I do not know what you are making, but it smells wonderful.”

  “I promised the girls meatloaf and gravy.” I’d made friends after Von took me to his home fortress. It was a community surrounded by smaller villages, all of them teaming with everyday people living everyday lives. I was one of the few women who lived in the fortress, but I didn’t lack for friends. Besides the other Interstellar Brides, we’d created quite a community with the local women, children.

  “Hmmm.” He nuzzled my ear, distracting me from the vegetables I was chopping for dinner. “And where is my princess?”

  “She’s outside feeding Bryn the cookies she sneaked off the counter.” Our daughter had just turned three, and she had her daddy wrapped around her little finger so tightly I teased him every time she crawled into his lap demanding an extra bedtime story or extra hugs and kisses.

  I thought her at her limit when she’d begged for a pet, but three days later he’d returned from a Coalition mission with a strange little puffball that looked like a cross between a pit bull puppy and a fox. She’d promptly named the beast Bryn, which caused much laughter at dinner that night as she fed the creature treats from her plate beneath the table.

  Fuzzy Bryn grew into a beast nearly half my size, yet he never left her side, more a babysitter than pet, and I realized that even in this, Von was loving us, protecting us.

  And me? I’d arrived, taken one bite of their horrible food, and promptly taken over the kitchens. Now I had several others working with me to keep the hungry Hunters and their mates well fed. Within a few weeks, I’d completely remade their kitchens and learned Von’s favorite Everin meals and shared some of my own from Earth. It had been so much fun to combine both cultures to create exquisite culinary masterpieces. The spices on Everis were exotic and wonderful, but if I, or one of the other brides, craved cinnamon or chocolate from home, Von would order it for me.

  Cinnamon delivered via transport across deep space.

  Life couldn’t get any stranger, but I loved it. Loved every minute I spent with my mate.

  Von wrapped his arms around my waist and snuggled up behind me as I stood at the kitchen counter. I felt every inch of him pressed into my back, even the thick ridge of his cock and I leaned into his embrace. “I missed you.”

  He’d been gone less than two days, but when the Hunters went out on patrol, I always worried. He was mine. Worry went with the territory.

  “Daddy!”

  “Your daughter did, too,” I added.

  I turned in his arms to look at both my mate and our daughter. She’d been conceived that very first time. Von hadn’t been surprised, considering how many times he fucked me that night. He also didn’t doubt his virility, nor my fertility.

  I’d heard it only took one time from sex-ed in high school and the woman had been right. To say Von had been thrilled was an understatement. To say that he’d become protective to almost a smothering level was also an understatement. I’d had to endure his constant attentions, love and possessiveness for nine long months.

  But when she was born, he transferred the bulk of his protectiveness to her. I wasn’t neglected, of course, but Von had been expecting a boy.

  A boy to teach to fight, to Hunt, to protect the females of Everis. Instead, out came a dark-haired little girl and he was ruined. Destroyed by love.

  A year later, our little one fell in love with her daddy. Two years later, they were inseparable. I had my time with her, but she was definitely a daddy’s girl.

  I was, too.

  Von’s eyes were dark with love as he lowered his head and kissed me. The gentle hello quickly became hot and urgent…until little hands tugged at mommy’s leg.

  “Hungry, Mommy.”

  I smiled as Von bent to lift her in his arms. When he straightened, emotion swamped me. I wanted another child. A boy, knowing Von’s heart would burst with joy at the news.

  I wanted a Hunter growing inside me, a strong little boy I couldn’t wait to meet. Right here, my entire life was within the circle of my arms, my reason for being.

  “Both of you can have a snack before our guests arrive.” I grabbed a breet, a Everian vegetable that looked quite a bit like a carrot. It was big en
ough to satisfy her until dinner. She happily took it and quickly began munching, her head dropping to rest in the crook of her daddy’s shoulder.

  “You spoil her,” Von said, but he stroked her long dark hair with undisguised gentleness.

  “With a vegetable?” I countered.

  “You spoil me, too,” he insisted and I couldn’t argue. I’d found my bliss on this alien world and I did everything I could to make sure Von knew how I felt.

  He grunted and gave our daughter a little squeeze. She giggled around the top of the breet but held on even tighter, her small arm like a vise around his neck.

  “Just you wait,” I added. “Until she grows up and the young Hunters start eyeing her.”

  His grunt switched to a deep, full-bodied growl. “That will never happen.”

  “I guess you’d better tell the doctor to get back to work on his stopper formula.” My father used to tease me when I was small, threatening to give me the magical stopper formula so I would stay little forever. I was teasing Von, of course. I loved teasing him about, well, everything.

  “No one will dare speak to her. Cosmo was reassigned to the prison moon, relaying cargo. That punishment will pale in comparison to any male who wishes to mate my daughter. They’ll be dead and their body floating across the second galaxy of Naron.”

  I had no idea where the second galaxy of Naron was, or if it was even real, but I laughed because I had a feeling it was very, very real, and very far away.

  “Then don’t you think she should have a brother to protect her along with her father?”

  Von’s eyes flared with instant heat. The attraction never diminished between us. I wanted him more than ever.

  “Brilliant thinking, mate.” He set our daughter down, who ran gleefully back out to play with Bryn. Once she was well out of hearing range, he turned his heated gaze back to me. “After this dinner, we’ll work on your plan. I want you naked, on your hands and knees, ass in the air.”

  God, I was already wet and we had four more hours of dinner guests and small talk to survive before I could get my mate naked and thrusting inside me. “You do realize you need to come in my pussy to make a baby.”
