“You would do that for me?” She thought the whole point in brainwashing was to take away the choice of saying no.
“Yes. I wouldn’t make it easy for you, though. I would woo you every chance that I got,” he informed her, desire in his star-like eyes.
So she had a choice. To mate or not to mate, that was the question.
Running her hands over his strong shoulders, gazing at his handsome face, his sharp fangs peeking out from under his top lip, she felt no repulsion, no need to escape. She didn’t feel trapped, restrained. None of the emotions she had felt during her years of marriage were present. If anything, all she felt was want, desire and need.
She needed Xandr. Now.
“I want you, Xandr,” she whispered breathlessly as he stepped into what she guessed was his cabin. “Make me yours.”
His lips were on hers before her feet even hit the ground, his tongue battling with hers. In a frantic rush, doing their best never to break the connection, they rid themselves of the fabric barriers between them. Only then did they separate.
But while she was fully naked, he was not. He’d kept his leather vest on. Her eyes instantly moved south to the long, hard cock standing for her attention, but she wanted to see all of him.
“Take it all off, Xandr. I want no barriers between us.”
He shifted uncomfortably, his jaw hard.
“Please.”
Blowing out a breath he complied, though she could tell he was reluctant to do so. Now why was that?
***
No one, other than his parents, had ever seen the mark that set him apart from his fellow males, the mark that should not be there. With Mandy, he had always remained clothed, only exposing the necessary body parts. Now, standing naked before his mate, he felt extremely insecure.
What would she think of him? Would she now refuse his claim of mate because of his deformity?
“You’re even better than you were in my dreams,” she whispered, her eyes filled with nothing but desire for him.
“You have dreamed of me too?” He had recognised her as the female from his dreams instantly, but he had not realised that she had also dreamed of him.
A smile pulled at her lips. “Yes, but every time I awoke too soon. Maybe this time we can both find release before you disappear on me.”
“There will be no disappearing. You are mine, Jessie,” he growled. “Forever.”
Chapter 16
He was on her in an instant, the heat of his body burning but in a good way, a very good way. Wrapping her arms around his neck, their kiss furious, she pulled him with her as she laid down on the bed, making room her him between her thighs.
His lips left hers, travelling down over her jaw, her neck, all the way to her breasts. His mouth engulfed her nipple, sucking deep, causing her back to arch off the bed as pleasure blasted through her.
"Oh, God. That feels so good. Don't stop."
"I don't plan to."
He moved from one breast to the other, back and forth, until both her nipples were hard, red peaks. When he finally abandoned them, the cool air hitting the sensitive tips was almost enough to make her come. The pleasure was shocking. No one had ever affected her the way he did.
“I want to touch and taste every morsel of you, but I am too impatient. I need you, now.”
He briefly tested her readiness, taking enough care to make sure that she was ready to take him. These alien males were large, much larger than human males. The weapon he was packing between his legs was no different. As he pressed forwards, filling her, stretching her, she gasped. “Fuck.”
He was so big. So thick. She wasn’t sure that she could take him.
“You can, my heart. You were made for me. You can take me.”
He kept pressing forwards. She was being stretched to almost the point of pain. Just as she thought that she could take no more, he stopped.
“I’m in, Jessie,” he whispered against her lips. “All in.”
And filling her so completely, so perfectly.
He held himself still, allowing her body to adjust to his invasion. Slowly her body relaxed, becoming accustomed to his overly large shaft. But even then, he did not move. When she could bear it no longer, she wrapped her legs around him, locking her ankles together behind his back and rocked against him. “Please, Xandr,” she begged, tightening her muscles around his shaft. “I need you to move."
And then he did.
***
Xandr had thought he had known what happiness was, but nothing could have prepared him for the true bliss that would flood his body when he finally intimately connected with his true mate for the first time. And it would only get better.
Withdrawing, he watched with fascination as his shaft emerged coated with Jessie’s sweet scented arousal. He couldn’t wait to taste it later. But first, he had a mate to claim. He pulled out, almost leaving her body completely before thrusting back in. He couldn’t help the growl that left his throat as pleasure assailed him, nor could he help the ones that came with every thrust that followed.
As he picked up his pace, driving into her body over and over again, each thrust more powerful than the last, Jessie clawed at his back, pulling at the newly healed flesh that was still extremely sensitive. The sting only added to his pleasure.
He wanted it to last forever, to never end. He wanted to bring her to climax over and over again until she was nothing but a pile of mush, but he knew that was not going to happen. Not this time at least.
“Xandr… I’m gonna… I…” Jessie panted.
She was going to come, and he was nearing the edge of his release also, but first…
“Give me your neck, my heart. Offer me your neck so that I can claim you as mine forever.”
The moment her head was turned, her tender neck left vulnerable to him, he struck. As his fangs pierced her fragile human flesh, Jessie broke apart, releasing her cries of pleasure into the room. When her blood hit his tongue, the last of his control was blown, and he came harder than he had ever known possible, filling her with his seed, marking her as his mate for all eternity.
“You are mine, Jessie. Finally, after all the pain and suffering, I have found you. You are my prize.”
***
Laying in Xandr’s arms, Jessie’s breaths were nothing but gasping pants. “I am so glad I was wrong.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, honestly, I thought that you were all unstable, that you were dangerous. You know, what with all the abductions, attacks, and brainwashing.”
Xandr barked out a laugh. “Brainwashing?”
“That’s what you guys do, isn’t it? You brainwashed me, just like your friends brainwashed mine. The others I could accept, but Alice shacking up with that brute, Torq? No way in hell that could have happened without a little brainwashing.”
Turning on to his side, Xandr gazed down at her. “And are you angry at me for, as you put it, brainwashing you?”
Was she?
Looking deep inside herself, she knew the answer. “No. I’ve actually never been happier.”
Epilogue
Finally, finally, they had escaped the planet that had kept them captive for centuries due to its population's lack of intelligence. There had been times when Teks had thought that this moon would never come. The universe had certainly seemed determined to make it difficult for them. Centuries of waiting for the materials and technology to be developed to repair the ship enough to get the engines running. A group of unplanned human females thrust upon them. One missing female volunteer who turned into one recently missing dead volunteer. Two madness induced males that needed dealing with. Multiple unexpected matings with the human females Torq had abducted. Another dead female volunteer which lead to the finding of another madness suffering male and his brother. And then had come another missing female, in the company of a killer.
Teks was so glad that all that was over now. The killer was dead, his body and all evidence of both him and their existence
buried and burned in the explosions that had gone off to both cover their exit and allow it. The ship had been buried under a mountain of rock for centuries, and the only way out was to blast its top. The five females that Torq had brought on board were also not his responsibility anymore. All five had mated with one or in one case two, of his males. It was now their jobs to make sure the females stayed out of trouble.
All that was left to do now was to reboot the ships interface systems and get the hell out of there, back to a part of the galaxy that had intelligent life.
“There is one thing I do not understand,” Teks admitted to his brother – a very hard thing to do when his brother’s new mate, Katie, was present also. “Joel killed both human females, correct?”
“Correct.”
“So why did the human male leave bite marks upon their necks? And how?” That was a question that had been bothering him since they had discovered the human male’s involvement in the females’ deaths.
“Let’s get SIS back up and running, and maybe she will be able to tell us,” Hex said, stepping up to the console and typing away. “The security footage in the feeding room at the time of the killing may not be available – and I still wish to know how the male hacked our systems - but if any information about the killings and his crazy actions exist SIS will be able to find it, I’m sure.”
Moving to stand beside Hex, Katie said, “I’m confused. Who is SIS?”
“SIS stands for Ship Interface Assistant. It is an artificial intelligence program we developed,” Hex explained. “We couldn’t reboot her until we had left Earth due to her wild nature.”
Wild nature? She wouldn’t have what he called a wild nature if Hex had left her well and truly alone. But no, his brother always had to tinker. He had given what had been a perfectly good interface assistant a personality. One that rubbed Teks up the wrong way more times than not.
“Here we go. Katie, meet SIS.”
The main screen glowed to life, all systems finally coming back online. Navigation. Shield Levels. LifeScan. All of that and more was displayed upon the screen But what took all of their attention at that moment was the image in the centre.
Centuries ago, well before the crash that had stranded them, Teks had dreamed of a beautiful Chaetdorian female, one that made his heart race and his cock hard. It was nothing but a fantasy. Chaetdorians were born males. Never in their history had a female been born. The dreams had plagued him so much, her image never leaving his mind, that when it had come time to create an image for their Interface Assistant, he had chosen hers. She had been perfect.
Until Teks had gone to bed and his never sleeping brother had gotten his hands on her, changing multiple things in her programming as well as her imaging. Now, while she still looked similar to the image of his dream female – same beautiful eyes and pouted lips - she was annoying as hell.
“Hi,” Katie said. Teks could tell that the female had a million questions about to spew out of her mouth. Unfortunately for her, SIS got their first.
“What the hell took you so long?” she demanded.
Teks growled, already thinking about turning her back off and manually controlling the ship. First, though, he needed to sweet talk her into telling him what they needed to know. “Well hello there, SIS. I’m sure you have a lot of questions, but we need you to do something for us first. A human female was killed on deck seven the other moon, and we need you to…”
“To find out how and why she had bite marks around her neck when a human killed her?”
“Exactly. Can you do it?”
“No need, I already know that answer.”
The brothers’ gazes met. “Well?” they asked in unison.
“I’m not telling you.”
“Why the fuck not?!” Teks exploded, his patience blown. He had just opened his mouth to order her immediate shutdown when Hex spotted something that he had not.
“Teks, look at the lifescan. The readings are wrong. We should have sixty-three lifeforms on board, but the system is saying we have sixty-four.”
He was right. “SIS reboot systems and re-run lifescan.”
“No need. The scan is correct.”
If that was so then it seemed they had a stowaway.
“Hex take your mate and secure her in your cabin. Inform the other males to do the same.”
“Hey,” Katie argued as Hex picked the small female up and threw her over his shoulder.
Turning his attention back on to SIS, he ordered, “Pinpoint the stowaway and give me their position.”
A smile spread across SIS’s face, and he knew he was not going to like her response.
“I don’t think so. What fun would that be?”
