Page 8 of Rescued By the Luxirian

Except for a beautiful, curvy human female who awakened my Instinct, apparently.

“You—youownthis planet?” she asked me, stammering over her words in her bewilderment. “Is that…is that evenpossible?”

I raised a single brow. Repeating the word she was so fond of, I said, “Obviously.”

She blinked rapidly. “But…but…”

“I like my privacy,” I told her gruffly, beckoning her forward when I opened the door to my dwelling.

“Obviously!” She burst out and I had the oddest urge to laugh. “So you bought a whole planet for…privacy? That’s a little extreme, isn’t it?”

“You don’t know my extended family,” I muttered.

“Oh,” she said, stepping up to me. Then she bit her lip. “You’re right. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to sound…judgmental or anything. I was just surprised. I don’t know a lot of people who own planets. I don’t even know anyone who owns their own cruiser. Not on Wero.”

“I didn’t think you were being judgmental,” I informed her, rubbing my chest, which drew her eyes. She blinked, the little hairs that lined her eyes fanning quickly with the movement. She licked her bottom lip, which only made my cock thicken further. As if the dart of that pink tongue controlled it.

“Good,” she said, giving me a small smile that filled my chest with something that felt curiously likepride. “Um…at the risk of sounding high-maintenance, do you also have a washroom I could use while you make the coms call? And possibly a robe?”

I blinked. A robe?

My gaze tracked down the line of her body. I hadn’t realized how close she was to me until that very moment, as we both hovered on the threshold of my dwelling. I watched the tops of her breasts swell with her sudden intake of air and my nostrils flared with want and desire. Her skin was smooth and a warm, tanned color, little brown dots peppering her collarbone, her cheeks, and the bridge of her nose.

Her pupils dilated, the black widening the longer we stared at one another.

Sovraxingpretty. I wanted to look at her forever.

That’s just the Instinct, I reminded myself. Females brought trouble.Peoplebrought trouble. I needed to remind myself of that.

So why did I step closer? Her breath hitched. I heard her swallow hard. I swore I caught the hint of arousal perfuming the air…but it was more likely that it was my own than hers, right? What Ididknow about humans was that they didn’t have Instincts, not like Luxirians did at least.

Vrax, I hadn’t fucked a female since I left Luxiria. Three long years of celibacy were beginning to weigh on me.Hard. And now, my Instinct felt like it was controlling my cock, making it pulse and heat, myvarxdrawing up tight underneath me, filling with my seed,readying.

“Tev,” I murmured. “No robe but I have a tunic you can wear over your…covering.”

Her eyes never left mine. “My…my what?”

“Your covering,” I repeated. Why were we whispering to one another? Why did it feel like I was being dragged down under water? A rush had started up in my ears. The sudden dizzying tension was making it hard to think.

What had she wanted again?

What was my damn name again?

Nix, everything I’d read was wrong, I decided. Humans did have Instincts, just like Luxirians. Because it certainly felt like we were on the cusp of something bigger.

“My bikini?” she whispered.

“If that’s what you call it.”

“It’s for swimming.”

I grunted. “Luxirians swim naked. You may as well be too.”

Her eyes went wide. “What?”

When I looked between us again, I nearly growled with desire. The thin straps of herbikinidid nothing to hide the way her nipples pebbled underneath them. My teeth snapped together behind my lips because I wanted tobitethem. I wanted to lick at those breasts and hear her moans in my ears.

Madness, I thought, my control beginning to slip, going a little dizzy.
