Page 56 of Alien Knight Blind Date Disaster

It was true. Shecouldfeel him, his feelings like warm sunshine in her heart, in her mind. She could just lie here and melt. “I love you.”

She wasn’t sure if she’d told him or not, but she wanted to say it. Saying the words mattered.

He froze at her declaration, lifted his gaze to hers. Held himself there, staring, the moment long and silent and so intimate she was going to cry. “I love you, my Bella. Forever.”

“Shut up and kiss me.”

He didn’t need to be told twice. He made love to her mouth until she shifted and sighed, until her hips lifted in urgent demand. He worked his way down her body, kissing every part of her, lingering when she moaned or gasped or tugged on his hair.

With a groan, he pulled back, a slow, sticky kiss letting her know he wasn’t finished with her. Not by a long shot. Reaching over to a cylinder full of maju paste that he’d noticed, he pulled the lid off. “It is an ancient tradition for a Lumerian woman to paint maju paste on the markings of her chosen mate, and vice versa. We are a possessive people,” he said with just a tinge of sadness for his lost world.

Isabella took the cylinder from him gently. “Your people are not lost to you. You can rebuild. We can rebuild together, Falden.”

He nodded, his heart bursting. “Will you honor me with paint, Isabella? Will you light my markings?” he asked with a slow grin. “Again?”

With a laugh she nodded, happier than she’d ever been before. Dipping her fingers into the maju paste, she then slathered it over every inch of his body, this time watching his markings get brighter with full knowledge of what that meant. He belonged to her. Forever.

When she was finished, he took the cylinder from her. “Now it’s my turn,” he murmured. “You have markings now, too, my Bella. I hope they are pleasing to you.” With reverence he applied the paste to the crystalline pattern on her neck that was so unlike his own. His markings were raised below the skin. She was human, and the microbes within the paste had gone below the skin, growing from the inside. They’d integrated with her. The swirling crystals were part of her skin now, beautiful and unique.

“Yes,” she whispered, love in her eyes. They both knew she was talking about more than her new appearance. More than the paste.

Smearing the paste over her new markings, he watched with wonder as they lit with opalescent fire, dazzling to the eye.

She moaned, his touch somehow erotic. Her body began to tingle. Her heart raced in anticipation.

“I’m going to apply this paste everywhere,” he warned her. “Not just your markings. I want it everywhere.”

Panting, she closed her eyes and tipped her head back. “Yes. Yes. It’s like little tiny kisses.”

With a wolfish grin, Falden smeared more paste over her body. Her neck, her breasts, her hips and thighs. He was very thorough as her moans turned into gasps with each stroke of his hand.

“Spread your legs,” he ordered. “When I said everywhere, I meant everywhere.”

She obeyed without hesitation, wanting to please him. Wanting everything from him. She was on fire for him, every cell in her body tuned to his. Tingling with electricity.

He dipped two fingers into the past and his gaze burned into her own before he pressed the paste into her waiting sheath. Arching back, she cried out, bucking as he drove his fingers deep.

“Keep your legs spread,” he ordered, his tone brooking no argument. “Grab your knees.”

Again she obeyed, spreading herself as wide as she could, her body open and exposed to him at every level. Heat spread through her, a rosy flush blooming across her cheeks, her breasts. Her core throbbed, nub engorged. She wanted. Needed.

With a growl, he pulled his fingers free, only to push deep again. In and out. Over and over again. “Come now, my Bella.”

With a scream, she let go, her orgasm so intense she shook with each spasm.

He wasn’t finished. Refused to let her recover. Her wet heat beckoned, and he feasted, slipping two fingers back into her hot core, his mouth teasing and suckling her clit until she exploded in his arms again.

And when she was breathless and trembling, he pushed his cock deep, joining them into one body. Pounded inside her with a perfect rhythm.

“Yes.” She arched her hips, took him even deeper, demanded more, which he was all too willing to give.

They moved as one, their emotions and fire building between them until blue light arced around them as they generated their own personal storm.

Against the wall, Furon glowed with eerie blue light despite the fact that Falden was nowhere within reach.

Power built in the room, rising between them in a fury as he took her harder. Deeper. Faster.

She cried out, and he followed her into bliss, every light in the room flickering with them.
