Karin was trying too hard to smile, to please him, but she was struggling to hold it. "I know."

Korrev nuzzled his nose against the back of her ear. "We could have dinner and then go to bed early." He squeezed one of her breasts.

Karin kissed him gently on the lips. "I'm actually going to bed without dinner. I'm not very hungry."

"Karin," he scolded gently. "You will get pregnant soon. I guarantee it."

Karin didn't think it was true, but she didn't seem to be in the mood to argue. Instead, she squeezed his hand in a weak attempt to make him feel better. "I know I will."

The next few days passed, and neither Korrev nor Karin brought up the idea of a baby again. It was still weighing heavily on her mind, he could tell by the miserable look on her face.

She was quiet. He didn't like seeing her quiet because it usually meant she was going to do something crazy without thinking.

Korrev had asked Azis for advice, but of course, he was no help. He had just told him he needed to let nature take its course and to wait a few more months before trying more severe methods.

But he didn't want to wait any longer. Korrev wanted to try something now. Anything to make her happy. He hated seeing Karin so unhappy. Having her pout because of a spanking was one thing, but having her be utterly miserable was something quite different. Karin was getting sadder and sadder each day. She was also losing weight.

He could tell every night when he fucked her. She was losing her curves and becoming skin and bones, which worried him constantly. She had never quite recuperated from her illness and he didn't want her to regress.

"You could take her on a trip," Kyvan suggested one day during one of their training sessions.

"A trip? What kind of trip?" Korrev wiped the sweat off his brow. He was king. He couldn't just go gallivanting across other planets. It could become a matter of national security.

"To Earth." Kyvan gave a small shrug, as if it should have been obvious. "Before her mind was all about babies, she washomesick. Perhaps taking her back to Earth would give her something else to think about."

It wasn't a bad idea, but it did make him worry. What if she suddenly decided she preferred Earth to Krotev and she changed her mind? Not that he would ever let her leave, of course, but he didn't want to give her another reason to be desperately unhappy.

"Do you think it's a good idea?"

Kyvan gave him a crooked smile. "It's the only option you have, I'm afraid. If Alice and I didn't have the baby to take care of, we would go with you. Unlike you, I actually like Earth." Unlike Korrev, Kyvan had spent a few weeks stalking Alice before he kidnapped her.

"Earth it is." But despite him saying the words, he couldn't hide his doubtfulness.

Karin reacted pleasantly when he told her they would visit Earth. For a few minutes, she stared at him curiously, but at least her mind wasn't on a baby anymore. "You're not planning on dumping me there and getting a more fertile mate, are you?"

Korrev let out a laugh until he realized his future queen was quite serious. "Honestly, Karin, look how much I have suffered for you. Do you really think after everything I've gone through, I would just dump you on Earth?"

Karin rolled her eyes, but an amused smile was twitching on her lips.

"We can't go back to New York," he warned her. "It would be a huge security risk if someone were to recognize you. But we can go anywhere else. Avoiding the entire United States might be the safe option."

She rolled her eyes at his paranoia, but after a few minutes, she finally told him where she wanted to go. "Paris."

The following day, they left on one of the smaller ships, to Paris, France. They would have to land in the Frenchcountryside to appear undetected and then board a train or bus. Karin didn't care. She was too excited. For once, she was thinking of something not related to pregnancy.

Karin glanced curiously at the way Korrev navigated the ship. No wonder she had failed so miserably on her first try.

They spent a week in Paris, doing all the touristy things Karin had always wanted to do, but never had because she had put work first. They visited the shops, which Korrev found pointless because she would always be naked at home. They went to museums, which Korrev found boring. They tried delicious French cuisine, which Korrev found tasteless.

At night, Korrev would fuck her so hard, she was surprised they never got a noise complaint. The bed would shake and her moans would only be half hidden by a pillow as he pumped into her, filling her with each stroke. Karin felt like she was still filled with cum even after she had cleaned herself.

On their last day in Paris, Karin had insisted on a walk near the Eiffel Tower. It was August on Earth and very warm, even at night, which hadn't helped Korrev's sullen mood. Laughingly, Korrev hated the heat. He said he had never gotten used to it since Krotev was significantly colder, with the exception of the palace.

It was fun seeing him sweat and dealing with tourists who didn't see him as the almighty alien king.

"Do you miss it?" Korrev suddenly asked as he wrapped his arms around her torso, breathing in her sweet scent.

"Sometimes," she admitted as she looked at a couple walking their dog. "I'd forgotten how busy everything was all the time. How many people there are on Earth. Even though I've lived here for over three decades, it feels surreal. It's like I never left."
