They landed on the main ship and walked together down the hallway to their apartment. Once inside, Lexi turned to Nash and smiled. She could see the light in his eyes, full of desire and expectation.
She couldn’t put him off any longer. It was time to accept him. It was time.
The more she thought about it, the more she realized that she wanted this just as much as Nash did. Sure, she was scared as hell, but she hoped Nash would see her through it—just like he had with everything else.
He moved toward her, enfolding her in his arms. He was so big he had to pick her up off her feet to hold her close to his chest. He ran his hands through the hair on the back of her head and pulled her into a deep kiss.
With a tangible warm lust throbbing between them, Lexi opened her mouth to Nash’s tongue. He darted his between her lips, thrusting his tongue over hers. She made a low moan and wrapped her legs around his waist. He carried her effortlessly into the bedroom.
He set her on her back and climbed over her, keeping his substantial weight off her smaller body. She could feel him hard against the crevice between her legs.
Throwing her head back, she sucked a deep breath. Nash ran his hand up her stomach and chest, encircling her breast with his big hand. He squeezed, kissing her deeply, his tongue causing an answering ache in her breast. Overpowering desire swept through her body and she felt herself opening to him.
She was drawn to him in an almost unbelievable way, and at that moment, there was nothing in the world she wanted more than for him to be inside of her. She broke their kiss and looked him deeply in the eye.
“I’m ready,” she whispered, her breath hitting his face.
Nash didn’t say a word. He just began to help Lexi out of her clothes. A moment later, she was naked on the bed before him. Nash flicked the spot on his uniform that made it disappear in the blink of an eye.
He stood above the bed, naked, magnificent, and hard. His massive erection stood tall, thrusting toward the ceiling. Lexi leaned forward, licking her lips as she looked at his gorgeous, cut body.
Nash crawled over her, between her legs, looking into her eyes the whole time. She lay back, shivering with fear and desire. Goose bumps rose on her thighs, but he covered her with his body, warming her chilled flesh.
His smooth, hard cock pressed against her wetness. Her body begged for him to fill her. Her breasts swelled and pressed against his solid chest. He kissed her sweetly and passionately, consuming her senses.
His hands ran over her body, touching all her sensitive parts with his tantalizing finger tips and palms. He leaned down and wrapped his lips around her nipple, sucking and biting gently on one, while he fondled the other breast.
Lexi moaned out loud, shaking. She wanted him inside her, and her body wouldn’t wait much longer. His kisses trailed down, focusing on her breasts before dipping lower. He licked her belly, lapping her navel before he opened her legs.
His wet tongue flicked over her outer entrance but quickly thrust deeper, caressing her swollen clit. She let out a strangled cry when he touched her there. Her body flowed with moisture as she opened more.
Her pussy wept to be filled, begging for his shaft, or his fingers or tongue to push inside her.
“Nash,” she whimpered, as he ran his tongue over her soaking wet opening.
He let out a rumbling moan, as he tasted her sweetness. “You’re flower is so ripe,” he groaned. “So fragrant and sweet.”
She whimpered again, running her fingers through his hair. She pushed him harder against her need, and he chuckled.
“Patience, beloved bride. I will fulfill all of your needs.”
“I need you inside me, Nash. I can’t wait any longer.”
He chuckled again and thrust his tongue into her aching pussy. Lexi gripped the bedsheets and thrust her head back, arching her back.
“That’s it, come for me,” he said in his deep voice, before he focused his tongue on her clit and pushed two thick fingers into her channel. He rubbed along the inside of her core, sparking sensations so pleasurable and intense it nearly drove her mad. She climaxed in a blinding fury of emotion, screaming at the ceiling above her.
Nash crawled over her, his eyes light and full of desire. He kissed her lips, gently coating them with the sweet tang of her own juices. She whispered his name again, as he leaned his hardness against her throbbing core. He pressed the head of his cock inside her.
She gasped and bit her lip, moaning. He pushed deeper, opening her beyond her imagining. Every inch he sank, her body opened around him, accommodating his manhood. Lexi rubbed her hands up and down his arms, feeling his love penetrate her as deeply as his body did.
The budding of their bond flowered around them, linking them both in its twining embrace. Lexi felt her heart flow into Nash’s. He pulled her up onto his lap and threaded his fingers through hers, allowing her to control the depth of his thrust.
He moved his hands around her waist, holding her body in his big, strong hands. With gentle waves of motion, Nash brought Lexi to another rush of pleasure. He dipped his fingers lower, flicking her tight bud to increase the momentum of her desire.
Lexi’s breasts tightened, and she threw her head back. Crying out with passionate joy, she came once more. Nash gripped her waist tighter, and thrusting forward, he bit down on her neck as he came.
Pain and pleasure danced around Lexi’s body and mind. Nash held her hard, sowing his seed deep in her womb, his teeth grasped tight around her flesh. Blood dropped down her shoulder while her body contracted around Nash’s length.
Slowly, he let her go. Lapping his tongue over her wound, he pulled her off of him. She lay on his chest, panting. The dull ache inside her body and on her neck throbbed in time with her heart. Nash’s heart thumbed inside his deep chest, and she sighed.
It had been the most intensely pleasurable and emotional experience of life. She knew she wanted to be with Nash forever. She also knew that she wanted to spend that time making love with him.
He stroked her hair, and she looked up into his eyes. “We’ve mated, my beloved bride—the stars in my heavens. I can feel the bonding deep in my soul.”
“I can feel it too, sweet, beautiful Nash. I feel it, too.” She crawled up to plant a kiss on his chin. He smiled down at her as she nestled into his shoulder.
“You grow more beautiful by the day,” he stroked her cheek with the back of his hand and she closed her eyes with a sigh. Their legs tangled together when they drew closer to each other. Feeling full to overflowing with joy and peace, Lexi drifted off to sleep.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Nash standing in the doorway in his uniform. “What time is it?” she asked, groggily, leaning up on her elbow.
“Early morning, beloved. You should go back to sleep.”
“Where are you going?” she asked, lying back down.
“I have things to attend to with the Draconian government at home.”
Chapter 13
On the bridge, Nash addressed the President of Draconia, reporting on the progress of the mating mission.
“Yes, President. We have just made our 1,857th mating.”
“How many of those are military?” the President asked.
“Roughly half of my fleet is military. The men who have been mated have been about half enlisted military, as well.”
“And, the other five thousand military men?”
“They have not yet been mated.”
“We need to pull out all our military men, now. The mating can wait.”
“But, President Yoshor, that would leave us with no defenses.” Nash said.
“You have defense capabilities, Commander. I even considered pulling you back, too. But, I decided against it.”
“There are serious threats to the human population here, from our interference.”
“The technology deal was a bad plan. Should have just taken the women and left. Less loss of resources.”
“As the Commander of this mission, I res
pectfully disagree. If we ever want to use human DNA again, it is in our best interest to protect this population, not help it to an early extinction.”
“Deal with whatever needs to be dealt with, Commander Nash. In the meantime, we’re pulling out all military personnel, as of now.”
“Sir,” he said, but the screen went black.
Chapter 14
Six weeks later, Lexi stood by the big window in her apartment, cupping her soft belly. There was a life growing inside her—she and Nash’s child.
She looked up as he entered the room, smiling with her secret. He came to her at once and took her hands in his, planting a kiss on her cheek.
“Nash, I’ve just been to the medic,” she said.
“Oh? Are you alright, my beloved mate?”
“Yes. I’m more than alright.” She smiled slyly, barely able to contain herself.
“What is it?”
“Nash.” She took his hand and touched it to her belly. “I’m pregnant.”
He immediately picked her up in his arms, twirling her around in a circle. He set her back on her feet with an expression on his face that said he could barely breathe.
“A baby,” he said, letting out a long breath.
He hugged her to him. Lexi could feel his joy radiating through his body, and hers. “This is everything I’ve ever wanted.”
She could tell something was wrong, though. Nash had seemed distant since the night of their mating. Then, the military personnel moved out. It had been a difficult time for him.
She understood now, the kinds of restraints he was operating under. The larger government of Draconia was at war. The much-needed mating mission was a lower priority. What had happened on Earth could have been prevented, but at this point, she no longer blamed anyone for the current problems.
She knew Nash was on the same page as her about everything. But, his hands were tied in a lot of ways. Without any trained military left with the fleet, it would be hard to implement any kind of change on Earth as effectively.
“I have some good news, too” Nash said, looking deep into space outside the window.
“What is it, dearest?” she asked, hooking her arm around his waist.
“The government is sending a task force to help combat the issues technology has created—help Earth get on a better course for the future.”
“Really?” she asked, gazing up at him.
“The government is officially taking a stance on our Earth issues?” she added, smiling.
“Yes. These men are the best of the best. Trained in dozens of hand-to-hand fighting techniques, and exotic weapons. They are our top special forces soldiers.”
“How many are they sending?” Lexi asked.
“Twenty.”
“Only twenty?”
“Believe me, with these guys, twenty is enough.”
Alien Warrior’s Mate
She's looking for a job, not a mate ... but fate has other ideas.
Loretta Franklin hasn't paid much attention to Draconians, the dragon shifter aliens who've come to Earth looking for human mates. She's been too busy getting her MBA so she can take care of her grandmother and younger siblings.
But when she comes to NYC from Alabama for an interview, anti-Draconian terrorists attack the building she's in. They want the dragon shifters to leave forever, and they don't care who they kill.
Fortunately for Loretta, Draconian commandos come to the rescue. And their leader, General Mylash Shin, might be intimidating--but he's also the sexiest male, human or alien, she's ever encountered.
Mylash is certain the curvy human is his mate, and urges her to take the DNA test to prove it. Loretta finds the seven-foot-tall warrior hard to resist ... but she doesn't want to leave her planet and her family. Can the general win his most important campaign ever, and persuade Loretta that he's worth it?
Chapter 1
Loretta Franklin stepped off the hover bus onto the busy streets of New York City. The smells and sounds of the city rose around her as she gazed up at the skyscrapers towering overhead. They didn’t have anything like Wall Street back in Alabama.
Loretta gripped the handle of her bag, moving swiftly down the sidewalk, her best pair of pumps clicking on the pavement. Her interview at the investment brokerage firm was in fifteen minutes, and she couldn’t be late. She had to nail this interview. It was her one big shot to make it in the city.
She checked the address on her cell phone, inspecting the buildings for the right one. People paced by, striding toward their destinations. When she found it, Loretta walked through the glass doors and hopped into the elevator going up.
As she stood in the elevator, her heart thumped in her chest and nervous energy coursed through her veins. Loretta had just graduated from Alabama State with an MBA. She’d been at the top of her class and could have gone to almost any college. Her grandmother needed help with her younger sister and brother, so Loretta stayed nearby. It was almost a miracle that the brokerage firm was willing to interview her in the first place.
The elevator stopped on her floor and she got out, taking a deep breath and letting it out. She stood in front of the lit wall that stated the name of the investment brokerage firm. She could see the place was luxuriously decorated in gold and cream with steely green accents.
I’ve got this, she told herself.
Even if she hadn’t gone to Harvard or Yale, Loretta had respectable credentials. She had to believe in herself. There were people at home counting on her to bring home the big money now that she was out in the workforce.
Loretta smoothed down her taupe skirt suit and ran her hand over her thick black hair. When she turned the corner into the reception area, she put a smile on her face and approached the receptionist. The girl behind the counter wore a dress that looked like it had cost as much as a month of Loretta’s rent.
The bleach blonde bombshell cast her bright blue eyes on Loretta. “Loretta Franklin. I have an interview with Charles Wilson at eleven,” Loretta said. Her tongue flicked over her full lips. She watched the woman look over at her computer screen and click the mouse with a French manicured fingertip. Loretta glanced at her own nails, painted an understated beige tone she’d done herself. The color brought out the caramel color of her dark skin. She wouldn’t let the receptionist’s big city glamor distract her from her goal.
“Mr. Wilson is ready for you, Ms. Franklin. Follow me.”
Loretta followed the receptionist through the front office and down a well-lit hall with abstract paintings on the walls to an open office door. The receptionist gestured for her to go inside and Loretta entered the office. The middle-aged man behind the desk stood to offer her his hand.
“Ms. Franklin. Good morning. Please have a seat,” he said.
She sat opposite his rich wood desk. There was a view of the city outside his window and Loretta tried not to stare, focusing on Charles Wilson.
“Your resume is impressive. You graduated magna cum laude from the University of Alabama. Paid internship and the largest brokerage firm in Montgomery. What makes you want to move to New York, Ms. Franklin?”
“The opportunity to work for this brokerage firm is exactly what I’ve been working toward.”
“Why did you choose University of Alabama?”
“It has a great business department. But to tell the truth, I wanted to stay close to my family.”
“What’s changed now?”
“Starting as a junior financial analyst for this brokerage firm is only the first step toward my goal. I want to be a broker. I can’t do the work I want to do back in Alabama.”
“Fair enough, Ms. Franklin.”
They spent another twenty minutes talking about her experience and her goals before Mr. Wilson shook her hand and told her he would let her know if she got the job by the end of the week. Feeling a little lightheaded but confident as she left the office, she rode down in the elevator.
Just as she stepped out into the first floor, the entire building q
uaked.
Chapter 2
A massive explosion shook the building all around Loretta. Alarms blared and the lights flickered off, leaving the entire building in darkness. There were screams of panic. Dust flew around the air and filled Loretta’s lungs. She hurried towards the front glass doors, seeing that several had been shattered in what appeared to be some kind of blast. Disoriented and terrified, Loretta didn’t notice when a group of men in black uniforms and distinctive all black face masks pushed into the building in front of her.
She smacked right into one of them before she realized what was going on. He grabbed her arm and pushed her backwards violently. Loretta lost her footing and fell onto the hard tiled floor. It was then that she realized the men were brandishing semi-automatic rifles. Her heart beating violently as she gasped for breath. They looked like some kind of military operation. What in God’s name is happening? One of the men shot a round of bullets into the ceiling and people screamed, running for cover at the back of the room.
“We are the Human Liberation Coalition. We insist the Draconians meet our demands. They must leave our planet now. For every hour they ignore our demands, another fertile female will die.”
Loretta scrambled backwards, hiding behind a security desk. The security guard lay unconscious on the floor, having been hit on the head with falling debris. The explosion had sounded like some kind of bomb had gone off on the upper floors.
Loretta had heard the rumors of terrorist groups who opposed the Draconian involvement on earth, but she had never imagined that they would do something so dramatic.
When the Draconians had come five years ago, they had asked for women to voluntarily mate with them and bear their young. Much to humanity’s surprise, the Draconians had been on earth before, five thousand years ago. They’d mated with Earth humans then, just as they wanted to now. Their species favored male young and every thousand years the Draconians had to breed with another species to keep their own species alive. They were on their Earth rotation.
