Wren appreciated his words, though she didn’t feel particularly strong at the moment.She was trembling in his arms, though she suspected that had more to do with desire than nerves.
She was still cautious of Lorrd’s size, and she hadn’t forgotten how brash he’d been earlier, but she was beginning to feel more at ease in his presence.She prayed it was a sign of good things to come.
Another distant blast sounded, and the ground shook again.Wren gasped and instinctively stepped closer to Lorrd.He took her in his arms and rubbed his hands up and down her back.His eyes glimmered with warmth.Comfort.He was trying to comfort her.Her spirits lifted at the realization.
“You’re safe with me, little star.I promised to protect you, and I always keep my word.”
Chapter6
To his great pleasure,Lorrd detected the unmistakable scent of Wren’s feminine arousal in the air, and he savored a long, deep breath.She smelledfluxxingdelicious, and he couldn’t wait to taste her.He couldn’t wait for them to consummate their mating union.
Soon.Before they reached New Vaxx would be optimal.
Would she agree to mate with him aboard his Vaxxlian cruiser after they departed Earth?He felt it was prudent that he claim her and cover her in his scent as soon as possible.Not all Vaxxlian warriors were assigned mates directly after they applied for the VAMOB program, and there had been cases of unmated Vaxxlian males trying to steal unmated human females in Starzzia.
Yes, he decided, he needed to mate with her immediately.
His scent would offer her the ultimate protection from rogue, unmated Vaxxlian males.Not that he would let her out of his sight on New Vaxx—not until he’d properly claimed her.But when it came to her safety, he wasn’t willing to take any chances.
He wasn’t willing to take any risks when it came to his ownership of her, either.
Mine.My female.My mate.
Possessive thoughts swirled in his head, and he tensed briefly as he considered the prospect of another male trying to steal her away.
He would bludgeon anyone to death who dared to touch her.
She wasn’t his yet, not officially—but in his mind, she already belonged to him.
Though the scent of her arousal remained strong in the air, she continued to tremble in his arms, and he couldn’t help but worry that she feared him.Was it because of his size?Or was it because they were strangers?A mix of both?
He resolved that he would treat her with gentleness the first time he claimed her.He would make her comfortable and take his time caressing her and bringing her to a quaking release with his tongue, then he would sink his rigid appendage between her thighs, claiming her as his for all time.
Of course, before he claimed her, they would have to repeat the mating vows of his people.His heart warmed at the thought.
Voices floated down from upstairs.It didn’t sound like Myles and Emmy were fighting, but it sounded like they might be having a difference of opinion.He hoped they reached a decision soon.He’d already spent more time on Earth than he’d planned, and with the nearby rebel activity, he was eager to whisk Wren away from the failing human planet.
The next time a blast sounded and the building quaked, Lorrd swept Wren up in his arms, overcome with the urge to hold her close while keeping her safe.He glanced around and spotted a sofa pushed against a wall that he thought would hold his weight, and he approached and took a seat.Wren remained stiff at first, but eventually, she softened in his embrace and rested her cheek against his chest.
Her rapid breaths tickled his skin through the material of his shirt.Her little backside was pressed directly on his lap, and his cock, already semi-hard, surged to full rigidness.
Fluxx, he wanted her.
He wanted to kiss her all over and lose himself in the sweetness of her.His mate.His female.
He couldn’t believe he was on the verge of finally taking a mate.
The scent of her excitement kept increasing.Her body was preparing for the mating act.This pleased him.Because he doubted it was something she could control.
He savored another long inhale, then he pulled back and waited for her to glance up and meet his gaze.
When their eyes locked, warmth surged through him, his scrotum tingled with sensation, and his length hardened further.
She squirmed slightly on his lap, drawing a growl from his throat.She gasped and her eyes widened.She also released a shaky breath.
Could she feel the thick hardness of him beneath her bottom?Did she know what it meant?
“You smell delicious, little star.”He took another deep inhale, then growled again.
