"It's a special sort of power that few of our kind have. I have it, and now my child has it."

"This is so weird," he chuckled nervously. I could tell that having my child worried him. "What kind of power do you have? Like magic tricks or setting people on fire?"

I laughed. "I wish."

I held out my hand, feeling the tingling sensation run through the bone until it reached the tips of my fingers. Once I released it, the small white vase nearby lifted off the ground and crashed.

"Holy shit!" He exclaimed. "That's how you passed me that knife!"

"You'll get used to it. Though don't be afraid when strange phenomena occur around you."

"Like?"

"Things moving around you and so on. The power is uncontrollable when the child is in the womb."

I lifted his chin and kissed him on the lips. He pulled away gently, and I thought I would get another half-baked runaround. But he stared into my eyes, unwilling to release me.

"I will do whatever it takes to protect you, myself, and our child. I want you to know that I'm fully committed no matter where this little adventure takes us."

A smile formed on my lips. This was just what I wanted... needed to hear.

"I wouldn't have it any other way. Now we are both committed."

"But I don't want my child raised by some hegemony."

Ah, yes, I remembered telling him about that. I was so sure of myself that my child would be raised by a system that didn't even raise me.

"My Damma also refused," I said, stroking his soft skin. "And look at me. I turned out okay. We'll do it together."

I kissed him again, this time deepening the kiss as I felt his soft ass in my hands. I ran my tongue along his collarbone. Thinking of the child inside him prevented me from lifting him in my arms and tossing him to that narrow bed. Instead, I guided him to sit while I removed my armor and undersuit.

He ran small kisses along my stomach and kneaded my ass as he ran his mouth along the shaft, his warm breath springing it to life and purpose.

He took me between his wet, plump lips and suckled, sweeping his tongue along the head before engulfing me again. I held his head, stroking his soft hair as I pumped my hips into his mouth, fucking it until the pleasure increased from a dull wave to small ripples. Not wanting to come this way, I stopped him, laid him down, and parted his legs. I removed the underwear under his tunic before burying my face inside to take his small cock in my mouth, which drove him wild with pleasure.

His cries of pleasure sent me into a frenzy as his body stiffened and shuddered.

I entered him, taking care not to press my weight on him. He was a sight to behold, his hair loose and wild, his cheeks as red as a Koi flower, his breathing labored, his eyes glassy. I knew what I wanted to do.

Sinking my fangs into his flesh and siphoning the sweet blood which flowed inside of him while I buried my cock deep inside was the greatest feeling in the universe. Displaying my neck to him, I ordered him to follow. He didn't hesitate.

However, I regretted it when I realized that his incisors grew larger. He tore at my skin, breaking it with crude abandon. The mark he left wouldn't be perfect, but it would be there, nonetheless.

The sun shined in my eyes from this damn window. Who the hell puts a bed by the window? The ringing in my head became sharper and more focused, real. I shot up from the bed once I smelled smoke, and after making sure I didn't run outside with my cock swinging all over the place, I ran out with Caspian following behind, and my soldiers worked tirelessly to put the fire out.

"Oh my God! The Hospital!" Caspian gasped and pointed at the fire catching hold of the roof nearby.

The whirring engine caught my attention, directing me to the landing pad, and I ran over to find Cormac knocked out on the ground near some cargo containers.

It didn't take long to figure out the culprit.

"That bitch!"

Our ship lifted off the ground with the cargo doors half closed. Without time to think, I ran for the doors and jumped onboard, rolling inside the bay just before the doors were sealed shut.
