Alien Warrior’s Promise by Sue Mercury

Chapter 9

Macy had never knownsuch breathless desire. She had expected to feel nothing but fear on her first night in Dakk’s home, even if they didn’t mate right away, but her fright had quickly faded, to be replaced with anticipation and carnal want. She couldn’t stop flushing, nor could she catch her breath. The aching in her core only kept increasing.

She couldn’t explain it, but she wanted Dakk.

Right here, right now.

She wanted to lose herself in the act of mating, wanted to experience the closeness she imagined would follow their exchange of vows. The truth was, she hadn’t felt ready to take a mate… until she’d met Dakk. There was something about him that both calmed and unsettled her. She felt safe in his presence, but also flustered and desperate and wanton.

When he looked at her with reverence gleaming in his sexy dark depths, she felt desirable rather than broken. And the fact that she was no longer trembling, the fact that she longed for him to join her in bed and show her what it meant to mate with a Vaxxlian, imbued her with a growing sense of strength and bravery.

He’s my soul mate. That must be it.

She couldn’t explain the abrupt change that had taken place within her since meeting Dakk only hours ago. She only knew that she wanted him and she didn’t wish to overthink it.

Why was he just standing there? Why hadn’t he joined her in bed yet?

Shame heated her face and she found herself pulling the sheet higher. Was he about to reject her? Maybe she was rushing him. Maybe he wanted to get to know her better before they exchanged mating vows and sealed the deal.

But a glance at his crotch brought her a measure of relief. It looked as though he might burst out of his pants at any moment, and her heart fluttered as she ran her gaze over his naked torso. His muscular chest gleamed under the overhead lights. His eight-pack was chiseled to perfection and his biceps flexed when he abruptly ran his hands through his damp hair, smoothing it back. Her mouth went dry, and she squirmed on the bed, pressing her thighs together as her pussy clenched.

He strode closer and sank down on the bed beside her, then he placed a hand upon her thigh overtop the covers. Her breath caught in her throat and tingles swept up and down her body. One simple touch and she was already putty in his hands.

“I thought you would wish to wait a while before we mated, yummiska.” He exhaled a long breath and appeared tense, as though he were trying to restrain himself from jumping her. “I do not wish to rush you or frighten you. You are my sweet mate, the precious female the Star God has blessed me with, and your well-being, both mental and physical, is the most important thing in the universe to me. I do not expect you to mate with me immediately.” He gave her thigh a gentle squeeze.

His words wrapped around her like a big warm hug. Still holding up the sheet with one hand, she reached for his face with her free hand and cupped the side of his cheek. His eyes widened, though he didn’t pull away. After a moment, he leaned into her touch and she felt a shudder moving through his body.

“Thank you, Dakk,” she said, barely able to get the words out, as her throat was suddenly clogged with emotion. “Thank you, but I-I am ready. I want to exchange mating vows and share a bed with you tonight. I’ll admit, when I first met you, I was a little afraid of you and I definitely didn’t feel ready to mate at the time, but I feel ready now.”

His eyes bored into hers, his gaze intense and penetrating. “What has changed?”

“I can’t quite explain it, all I know is that I want this,” she said, releasing his face to gesture between them. “I don’t want to wait. I mean, unless you want to wait. I-I don’t want to rush you either.”

He shifted closer, settling his hands on either side of her pillow, and leaned down until his lips hovered just before hers. Their breaths mingled and she lifted her face, parting her lips and hoping, waiting, longing for him to finally kiss her.

“I’ve been ready, yummiska,” he said, his voice strained, “I’ve been hungering to claim you since the moment we first met.” His nostrils flared and a low growl emitted from his throat.

“Oh, well, that is a great relief.” A smile pulled at her lips. “I must admit, these urges I’m having, I-I have never felt so unsettled in my life.” She flushed and reached out to rest her hands on his chest, trailing her fingertips over the warm, hard expanse of his oh-so-lickable eight-pack. She flushed again because holy hell, she was seriously contemplating licking him.

“Your scent is driving me wild, Macy.” Another growl, and his eyes flashed darker. “Before I claim you, I’m going to bury my face between your thighs and taste you, feast on you.”

Her pussy spasmed and a tiny whimper escaped her. A pleased look entered his eyes, and he bent down to press his lips to hers. Finally. She closed her eyes and surrendered, welcoming his attentions.

It was no soft kiss, either.

He grasped her chin, holding her in place while he explored her mouth. He swept his tongue along hers and eventually shifted his other hand into her hair, his fingers tightening around her locks as he deepened the kiss.

Without warning, he vibrated his tongue inside her mouth. She’d heard Vaxxlians could vibrate their tongues, but the action still surprised her.

Stars swam behind her closed eyelids. She continued running her hands over his chest and moaned into his mouth as his tongue tangled with hers. Flutters rose in her stomach and heat built inside her.

The urgency between her thighs increased and she soon found herself writhing on the bed, seeking friction to assuage the aching in her core. Delirious with pleasure, she gave a needy whimper when Dakk broke the kiss.

He rose from the bed and pinned her with a look so primal, she shuddered with desire and instinctively parted her thighs underneath the sheet. Still holding her gaze, he started removing his pants. She swallowed hard when his massive cock sprang forth, much longer and thicker than she’d anticipated. He tossed his pants aside and crawled atop her.

The sheet ended up tangled around her waist, and his gaze landed on her heaving bosom. His eyes lit with appreciation and he cupped one breast, then delved his head to her other breast and swirled his tongue over her nipple. She arched into his touch with another needy whimper.

She gyrated her center against his, wishing the tangled sheet weren’t in the way. With frantic movements and a few choice words about the sheet, she managed to push and kick it past her knees and off her entirely. A chuckle reverberated from Dakk as she did this, and he released her nipple and peered at her with a wry grin.

“Problems?” he asked, still smirking.

“Nope, I’m good.” She wiggled against him, delighting in the skin-to-skin contact. “I’m not really a fan of top sheets, but we can talk about that later.”

He kissed his way down her neck and collarbone, occasionally running his vibrating tongue over her flesh. She tilted her head to the side, giving him better access. He worked his way back to her breasts, then to her stomach, and finally lower.

An exhilarating sense of freedom stole through her. She was here, by her own choice, and she was about to mate with a handsome Vaxxlian warrior named Dakk, by her own choice. During the last year, she’d had little control over her own life, including plenty of encounters with creepy men in the safehouses, but Dakk wasn’t like any of those men. She felt safe with him, and she wanted him.

Experiencing passion, for the first time in a long fucking time, made her feel more in control of her life.

She pushed away thoughts of the past and focused on the heady sensation of Dakk licking the insides of her thighs. She parted her legs wider, but he kept teasing her, running his tongue up and down her thighs and hovering his mouth over her sex. She was on fire, burning up and ready to beg him to touch her where she ached almost painfully.

To her relief, he finally ran his tongue over the seam of her pussy. Oh God yes. She gasped and jerked her center upward, seeking more, needing more. With one hand, he reached between her thighs and parted her nether lips, exposing her pussy to his gaze.

“You taste fluxxing divine, Macy,” he said, before he began circling his vibrating tongue over her clit.

She cried out at the intensity of the pleasure and soon became lost in it, shamelessly grinding her center into his mouth while he tended to her pulsing nubbin. He swirled two fingers in her core and eventually pushed inside. She groaned at the fullness and felt herself being propelled into a euphoria from which there was no return.
