“You married me because of a treaty?” she gaped.
The alien looked puzzled. “Well not entirely, but yes. Of course. I am tantamount to your royalty. Do you expect that I would marry only for love?”
Tears filled her eyes. “You just married me to make me pregnant and leave?” The feelings of tenderness toward an impending baby were beginning to take hold of her, and her anger was dissipating, despite her initial reaction to Adax’s blasé statement. He shook his head, but she was still in shock.
“Well why did I choose you?” The alien asked, accessing her thoughts.
“Ye-ess,” she wailed. “Why me?”
“Because you are beautiful! Because you are kind, and sweet, and strong. I searched the whole earth to find the right woman to be the princess of Eldazon, the right wife for a Lord of Astria. And it’s you Shauna. In fact, I am thinking of renaming the whole planet. I will recommend to the elders that it be called Shaunia, after you.”
“Shaunia?” She sniffed. Well that does sound nice. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all. My husband, the alien. And now starting a family? This was a lot to get used to. But it’s better than being killed on the beach, and it’s better than being captured by a repulsive lizard thing, and it’s even better than trying to find a new apartment on my salary.
He pulled her close, and kissed her. “Now we have about an hour to get in the bath, and I will have some ceremonial robes sent over so that you can meet your people.”
Professor Meowington jumped on the bed, colors playing on his white fur. He kneaded the covers a few times and settled between them, the prince and princess of Eldazon.
“Well if he can settle down here, I suppose I should be able to as well,” said Shauna.
“Certainly!” said Adax. “Now that’s the spirit. Besides, if we have any serious problems, I’ll just control your mind, like I did about the baby.”
“You will not!” she cried. “Have you been doing that the whole time?” She was starting to think that this was a big mistake. Despite the delicious sex, and the robot cart that was currently bringing in chocolate covered strawberries.
“Well, not the whole time,” said Adax. “But I would be foolish not to intervene when it suits us, no?”
“Adax,” she held his hands while she looked into his sky-blue eyes. “You need to understand that when you love someone, you accept them for who they are and what they want. You try to understand them and you take care of them when you can. You don’t mold them into something they’re not.”
He looked at her dead on. Nobody had spoken to him that way before. As the prince, either they obeyed him, subjugated themselves in front of him, or challenged him. Now Shauna, Princess of the Eldazon race, was teaching him. It was his turn to get teary-eyed.
“Do you understand, Adax? Love means that you try to accept the person, and help them. Not adjust them to your liking.”
“I believe I do understand.” The knowledge was filtering through his mental processes, bypassing channels and sparking new structures in his mind. “I have failed you, Princess Shauna.”
“No, not if you learn from this, and try to become better,” she said, rolling on her back. She pictured them together, sitting at the edge of the purple waterfall, small child cradled in Adax’s arms. She could feel him enter her consciousness and share the vision. In the vision, he kissed her.
“Is that ok, my love?” he said, feeling at once fierce and tender toward her, protective of her and needful of her approval. “To change your fantasy by kissing you?”
“Of course,” she laughed. “That’s ok. We’re in this together now, Adax.” The vision was getting stronger, the three of them sitting together in the multicolored rays of the ARTsun, enjoying the beautiful imagery of a day in the future. Suddenly Professor Meowington jumped into the vision, rubbed his cheek against Adax’s hand in a possessive gesture, and cuddled up to Shauna.
They looked at each other, eyes wide, and then at the cat, whose smug face said that he was going to do perfectly fine on this new planet. They all were.

"You're okay!" I cry.
"Yes, I'll be fine. Our medical team is very efficient."
"I thought I'd lost you."
"And you - cared?"
I pull off his shoulder then stare into his eyes. Shining through all the emotions warring inside is one I don't recognize. A warmth. A lightness of, well being for lack of a better way to describe it. I feel light and happy. I'm so relieved, so happy he's going to be okay. I don't want to live in a world without his bright presence in it.
"Yes," I say. "Yes, yes, yes!"
His strong arms wrap around and pull me tight against him. I pull my head back and then lean in kissing his lips. They're soft yet strong. Electric sparks shoot through me as our lips meet for the first time. A thrill of chills races up and down my spine.
"Leave us!" Mal orders.
"But sire," one of the guards protests.
"
Now!" he orders and they leave without another word.
We're alone. Primal need takes over. Our lips meet once more with all consuming passion. He tastes of berries and I can't get enough. I lick them teasing my way past his lips until our tongues dance together.
His erection strains up as I climb onto the bed with him. I run my hands over his chest, touching the muscles I've dreamed about. The solidness of him feels amazing under my fingers. Dim concerns about compatibility fight for my attention but desire overwhelms it. My limbs quiver feeling his massive manhood straining for freedom, straining to have me.

"Don't you want me, Kester?" She touched his arm and leaned toward him. Before, she had been able to read some of his thoughts when she touched his alien skin. But now he was blank, closed off.
"I wanted to possess you since the moment I first held you, from the moment I took you into my ship. But are you sure... is this what you really want, Nadia? Once we do this... we'll be bonded for life. And I can't guarantee that I'll be able to always protect you. Not like I did during the attack." She took his face in her hands. His beard had filled in on the journey from Earth to Gemna. Even though he had slept much of the way there, lines of worry were etched on his face. As she touched him, she knew it was worry that had been focused on her... from the very beginning. She closed her eyes, this time tapping into his thoughts. He opened them to her, showing her a future where the two of them were together, fully mated, traveling together among the star systems of Astria. He communicated that there might be danger, for them and for their children. But that there would always be love. It's what he had to offer.
"Then take me. This is what I want." Kester paused for one moment, pushing a lock of Nadia's hair to the side.
"There's no going back after this," he said. She nodded, fully understanding. Kester took Nadia into his arms, gentle with her petite frame. He drew her to standing and pressed her body into his, cupping her small, firm breasts. He pulled her thin white shirt off over her head, letting her breasts fall free. She gasped as the cool air hit her flesh, her nipples standing firm. A jolt like lightning shot through her body and she groaned, pressing into Kester. She breathed deeply and took in his scent, relishing in the intoxicating notes of his musk. He tossed her top to the floor and pulled her into an embrace, crushing his lips to hers. That kiss was more than just a kiss... it was a communication of comfort, of safety, of protection tha
t spanned galaxies. It was a promise of adventure and beauty. And more than that, it was Kester's final step in becoming a true man. Nadia could see that as she closed her eyes. The gentle telepathic waves from Kester's mind showed her that she was the one who would complete him... she was his resting place, his home.
He cupped her breasts roughly and pushed them together, lowering his mouth to her nipples, kissing one and then the other. Kester moved his tongue over Nadia like a man starved, sending an electric shock through her as he nipped at her sensitive flesh. Nadia grew wet at his touch, her sex growing slick at the thought of the huge alien man entering her and making her his mate. As she breathed in his mating musk, her entire body seemed to pulse, growing more open, more flexible... ready to be entered and fully taken. His touch slowed, and his body read hers, each movement of his fingertips prepping her more fully. Nadia watched as he extended the tip of his tongue to her nipple, his leonine eyes looking up to hers. He circled one nipple with his tongue, rolling the other in his fingers. Nadia threw her head back, letting the waves of sensation take her body over. Here, she would give herself to this prince. Here, her life would begin.
