The Alien’s Reward by Luna Kingsley

Chapter 19

Vah’all

She tremblesin my arms making me curse the bitter cold of this cell. Her bare skin is cool to the touch, tiny bumps raised across her skin.

“Press against me. I’ll warm you with my body.” Even in the darkness I can see the wide gleam in her eyes. She surprises me by settling her back against my chest and rubbing against me until the friction of our bodies is enough to make me burst. “Take me out so I can feel you against my bare skin.” I wrap my arms around her torso, taking her full tits in my hands and squeezing while she works to rid me of my pants.

She’s eager tonight. Her jumpsuit landed on the floor of my cell as soon as Stux’an locked the door behind her. Now she’s in my lap, writhing over my erection while trying to tug my pants down at the same time. In order to distract myself, I nuzzle into her neck, licking her soft skin and nipping down her shoulder. My arms wrap around her completely, pressing her so tightly into my body I must be careful not to hurt her. “I missed you today,” she says when she finally frees me, her body never slowing down.

As soon as the warm wetness of her cunt slides against my cock it begins seeping in preparation to mate again. Her small fist wraps around me and pumps a few times, coating my cock before she slides her hands over her mound. “You’ve become an addiction, Vah’all.” She’s sliding the soft lips of her sex over my rigid erection. Back and forth, back and forth. Making me crazy with need. “My pussy throbbed for you all day. Like my body knew you were here but too far away.”

She gasps when she hits the perfect spot. Once afraid of me, now my woman is using my cock to get herself off. The sensations grow and I can’t fight it any longer. Grabbing her hips, I lift her just enough to gain access so I can plunge my cock inside her. One sharp thrust and I’m buried deep, gripping her hips and holding her flush against my body. My cock throbs but I fight the urge to pump a few times and explode. Instead, I wait for her body to adjust and let me in. I wait for her muscles to relax and for her nails to pull out of my thighs. Seconds pass and a long, deep moan eases from her lips as she relaxes against my chest, her arm wrapping awkwardly around my neck.

“This is my cunt now.” My fist wraps around her hair as I begin to thrust into her from behind. “Mine, Sarah. Mine.” My growls mix with the sounds of our skin slapping together, the sounds of the chains rattling with every vicious pump. “So sweet.” Thrust. “So tight.” Thrust. “So perfect and all mine.”

My hands travel down her back, one gripping her hips while the other plays with her full ass cheeks. They jiggle in my lap, with every squeeze and slap of my palm until I’m obsessed and can’t stop touching. When we finally get out of here, we’re never mating with the lights off again. I want to see every inch of her beautiful body. Every curve.

“I need more, Vah’all.” She’s panting and breathy, desperate to come but unable to reach the pinnacle. “Touch me where I need you.”

My fingers reach around and slide over her pleasure bud. Circling, squeezing, pinching, rolling, until she moans, and shouts cries of “Yes, yes, yes!” I give her what she needs until she flops backward against me. Still wrapped in my arms, I pump into her a few more times before marking her with my seed, stream after hot stream of it.

Just like the last time we mated, I hold her as long as she lets me. Until she dozes off and I worry Stux’an will come in and see her glorious naked body sprawled across me. He’s doing me a huge favor by bringing her to me like this, but I’d still want to claw his eyes out if he saw her in this state. So even though it goes against all my instincts, I jostle her awake so she’s ready when Stux’an returns.

“He’ll be back soon. You must get dressed.” She’s groggy and moving sluggishly but she climbs off my lap and puts her clothes back on. Now that she’s standing, her mind must clear because when she looks at me, she smiles.

“Kraal said they’re holding the meeting about everything in the morning. All of this should be over soon, right?”

Even though I want to ease her worries, I don’t have the answers she’s looking for. “They’re not telling me anything, Sarah. But if Kraal said the council meets in the morning, I assume this will end soon.”

She brushes her fingers through her hair and steps toward me once she’s dressed. I watch every move she makes, soaking it in like it’ll be the last opportunity. “They won’t keep you chained like this forever.” She uses her fingers to brush my hair from my face. She looks me over, straightening my pants and doing the little she can to make me comfortable before she leaves. “Even if Stux’an isn’t telling you what’s going on, he’s on your side. He wouldn’t be bringing me down here to you if he wasn’t.” She leans in and presses her soft lips to mine. Without thinking, I pull her to my lap, deepening the kiss in order to take advantage of every moment we have together.

Stux’an comes for her a little while later. Once she’s gone her scent lingers, bringing me comfort knowing she’s at least in the same building even if she’s not allowed to stay with me. I wouldn’t want her to stay down in this cold cell with me anyway. She deserves better than this. I deserve better than this, too. After all the missions I’ve completed for Bameh to keep our secrets safe, my anger continues to grow the longer they keep me chained like an animal down here in confinement.

I never questioned the missions they sent me on…not once. I brought down so many ships and ended many lives. I did it all for Bameh and the safety and protection of our lands and people. Now because I asked for something in return, a woman who felt like my other half from the moment I saw her, I’m being punished.

Unlike the other nights, Stux’an returns after delivering Sarah back to her quarters. At any other time, I’d thank my alpha for bringing my woman to me. But tonight, those words remain trapped in my throat as he stands before me, the light from outside outlining his features.

“In a few short hours this new council will convene for another vote. I haven’t heard good things, Vah’all.”

“What have you heard?”

“The discourse among our kind isn’t worth the trouble for four females. There are too many who will vote against allowing this mating between Sarah and you to continue.”

This isn’t surprising news. I knew it to be true the moment they came for us at the pond. “Then why bring her down to me?”

He stares at me thoughtfully, a mix of emotions crossing his face. “You’ve claimed her. The bond is strong, even for her. The women don’t realize but we can hear everything they say in their room. They’ve been quietly scheming. Making plans to escape if things don’t go their way. I watch Sarah and she struggles with this. She wants to please her friends but it’s clear from the look on her face she doesn’t want to leave you. I wouldn’t have believed in the connection if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.”

“And this convinced you to encourage our mating regardless of the council’s decision?”

“I don’t see anything wrong with your love.”

Silence settles between us, the unexpectedness of his support making it difficult for me to know how far to push his loyalty. “How long must I remain down here?”

“Your punishment will be decided tomorrow. We’ll have all the answers we seek soon.”

He leaves me in darkness, alone with my thoughts and my shifting loyalty. Anger and retribution simmers in my blood. Not toward Stux’an but for those who think I’ll accept any decision related to Sarah other than allowing her to be mine. I’ve killed to protect Bameh’s secrets and I won’t hesitate to do the same for my mate.
