Page 2 of Rescued By the Luxirian

With terror on my face as my eyes fastened on…

A male.

An alien male.

A Luxirian male whose eyes went wide in disbelief and surprise at the sight of me while I screamed down at him.

He’s hot, I thought, my hysteria and fear making the thought appear without warning.

My vision went a little blurry. Blood rushed in places I didn’t think blood could rush as my adrenaline spiked.

And then—like a cherry on top of this wonderful sundae of a day—I fainted.

Chapter

DROXAN

“Vrax,” I cursed roughly, moving quickly to leap up onto the hull of the silver pod to catch the female before her face slammed into the metal.

She was warm and soft in my arms, her body limp but light.

Disbelief and shock—mingled with unwanted lust—made me peer down at her face.

Nix, nix, nix, I thought.No.

But there was no denying it.

The moment I’d seen her…the Instinct had awakened inside me. Roaring to life like a beast rousing from its dormancy.

It felt like my body had been hollowed out only to be refilled. With purpose. With the need to protect my new little mate. With the knowledge that I would never be the same again, that I would always want her, that I would alwaysneedher.

It left me shaken. Off balance. Like a veil on my reality had just lifted only to show me another dimension entirely.

I’d never thought it would happen to me.

Never tome.

And certainly not on this day when I’d spied a streak of fire hurtling across the sky, crash landing not far from my dwelling. I’d expected to find wreckage.

Instead, I’d found myfated mate.

For a brief, hazy moment, I studied her, my grip on her body tightening unconsciously.

She washuman. A human female…and exceedingly pleasing to look at. She had a warm complexion with a smattering of dark little dots across the bridge of her nose. Her lips were plump, pink, and soft-looking. Her cheeks were round. Her brow bone had little hairs on them, making sharp little slashes across her face. Her eyes had curled hairs too, fanning across the tops of her cheekbones.

My eyes trailed down. A rough purr that somehow managed to sound like a growl rose from my throat.

Her body was…

Mine, came the possessive thought, even though I fought against it.

She was wearing a strange covering. Thin and strappy, the top portion had triangles covering her large breasts. The bottoms molded to hervaxixand were tight on her wide hips, revealing short legs and thick, perfect thighs.

Her little feet were bare and her toenails were…red? Shiny and red.

My gaze ran back up her body. Curvy and lush and beautiful, she was everything I was attracted to.
