“Relax, my kora. “I only want to make you feel good. I have you. I will take care of you.” I alternate a rhythm, pushing inside both of her holes, driving so hard that she moves higher up the bed.

“So tight.” I feel my cock thicken and pulse. Two more hard thrusts and I shoot thick jets of my release inside her lovely body. Then I fall across her back and huff heavily, my head spinning.

I can’t control it and I feel it as soon as it starts. My cock swells even more and the knot forms,

Lacey sits up under me and moans. “What the hell is that?”

“My species knots with our mate. To make sure that we breed as soon as possible.”

“I don’t want to get pregnant.” She jerks and pulls but she can’t break free and anger brightens her cheeks to a deep color, like a fiery sunset on my planet.

“I cannot control it, mate. You might as well be still. We won’t be able to move until the knot goes down and right now, that’s not happening soon.”

After fifteen minutes the swelling finally goes down and my limp rada slips out of her hole.

She scrambles off the bed and stares at me. “What the hell was that?”

“I don’t know how to answer that, mate. You asked me to take you and I did. Now you’re mine.”

She shakes her head, her eyes wild. “No! I’m nobody’s mate. I’m my own person. You can’t just take me and tell me I’m yours,” she huffs. Her tiny hands tear at her hair and she paces wildly, completely naked which has my rada rising again. The breeding heat is coming upon me but we don’t have time for that right now. We have a mission.

“And where the hell do you get off letting your dick do that…”. Her hands wave wildly at my rada and I smirk. “Whatever that was inside me.” Then she touches her shoulder and glares at me. “And you bit me! What the hell is wrong with you?”

“All of that is our mating.”

“I don’t like it,” she growls and stomps off, the door coming open and letting her stomp down the hall.

But she liked it. I know she did. I felt her body respond to mine. And I felt her give herself to me completely.

She is my mate. I just have to wait until she realizes it.

I smile as the dark whorls on my arms spread higher and deeper. Our bodies know the truth. She’ll give in sooner or later. Mates cannot resist each other.

And I have a mate. My chest warms and I rub it absently. A beautiful, soft mate who I need to protect from the worst scum of the galaxy.

This mission is going to be more difficult than anything I’ve ever done and way more important. I have to succeed.

My mate’s life may depend on it.

Heading down to Calon 5, the floating auction ship orbiting the planet of Calon, I smirk to myself. My little human is about to become very angry with me. I’m slightly angry with her myself even though I understand why she’s trying to resist what’s going on between us. Even so, I have no choice in what I’m about to do.

I’ve only been able to come up with one way to guarantee protection from her exposing herself as human and she isn’t going to like it.

“Come here,” I crook my finger at her and she eyes me warily, her golden eyes narrowing.

“Wh-what do you want?” She stutters.

“You’re the one who insists on coming to the auction ship with me, searching for previous human females that might still be saved. Calon 5 is the best place to start looking. All species come through this ship but especially every criminal in the galaxy knows perfectly well that if they want to purchase something exotic like a human female, they can find them here. This is where we will find information if there is any.”

“Oh. Okay.” She comes to my side and I can’t help but look down at her, stunned once again by how tiny and yet strong she is.

“Give me your hands.” She reaches out to me. I quickly clasp metal rings on her slim wrists in a delicate pattern of leaves and vines. The same as the ones that an Arkadian male gets when he mates fully and knots with his mate.

“What are you doing?” She shrieks.
