Page 8 of Gairo

TWO MONTHS LATER

Sarah was safe with Ulfar back home now. Gairo, my big alien was only a few feet away. He swept me into his arms, and my feet dangled off the ground. After months together, pregnant, I knew that Gairo was my person. He told me that on Aesirheim, it was called a heart-mate. He said that his heart could ring true when he was near me. I didn’t think that humans could feel heart-mates like aliens could.

I wished that I could tell him more about Zyloxia. Zyloxia barely ever spoke to Magdorian.

“I have word from Magdorian.”Soren looked irritated.

“What?” said Gairo. “Who is that?”

“Magdorian is your younger brother.”

I wrapped an arm around Vi, looking at Zyloxia trailing behind my commander.

“We’ve been looking for you for a long time. You’re the son of an alpha male who led another clan on the other side of the continent. Your communicator went out, and you’ve been missing for years. Magdorian has requested that Soren send you and your pregnant surrogate back home.”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea,” said my heart-mate. “I have a bad feeling about it.”

“We can go to my home tomorrow to settle the matter.”

From the hurt look that Veronica gave me, I knew she wasn’t happy about leaving our love nest. However, it was time to face the music. I didn’t like having no memory of my childhood before I was found here in the valley.

“I can’t sleep.”Veronica climbed into my lap. Zyloxia had found me brooding under the stars, and now I was in our love nest’s living room area after being unable to sleep and crawling out of bed. Veronica didn’t add anything to what she was saying. “Do we really have to go to where Zyloxia says is your home?”

“I don’t trust her. I don’t think that we are heart-mates, because I don’t feel it with her.”

“Why did you agree to go with them tomorrow?”

“As much as I don’t trust Zyloxia, she has access to the answers I’ve spent years racking my brain for. Once I find the right answers, I can go back to my normal life.” I sighed. “I want to ask you to stay behind.”

“Absolutely not.”

“I knew you’d refuse. When you’re at my side, I can see you and our baby.”

“I have to show you something. Don’t get mad, okay?”

“Did you steal another knife, little heist queen?”

“No, it’s a cloned communicator. I think that we are walking into a trap. If you insist on going, I’ll go with you. I don’t want to be left behind like I was when you went on that mission. Soren and Orvox can’t keep me here, not when I’m already pregnant with our baby.”

“I want you to stay safe. All my alpha instincts are yelling for you to stay here. I can’t tell you what to do; it’s too much like that stars-blasted colony that you grew up in. I love you. Being apart from you while I was on that mission was hell already. While you’re pregnant, I don’t want to be separated from you again.”

“I love you, too,” said Veronica.

She was already sitting in my lap. I rearranged her thighs so that they were around my hips. I was already half hard and growing harder by the second. She knew what I liked by this point. Her hands came to comb through my hair as she stole a kiss with passion that made me melt inside. I needed her naked. Thank the stars that her nightdress was one she frequently didn’t bother with undergarments with. I had it off over her head in a split second before I tugged at my pants to open them.

Sometimes she liked it rough, but I wanted to taste her essence. I rearranged us on the couch so that I could eat my little omega until she screamed.

After I’d taken her through two orgasms with just my tongue, I parted her thighs. She was already pregnant, but I couldn’t resist everything we’d done while baby-making. As I slid inside of her, I sent up a silent prayer for everything to be okay. Stars above only knew what was going to happen.

PILOTING SHIP

GAIRO

“Idon’t want to travel to the other side of the planet to find your long-lost clan,” said Veronica to my face, unhappy with the journey. “But if I have to, I’m glad to explore this planet a little. I’ve wanted to explore the galaxy ever since I was stuck in my home colony.” She ruffled my hair.
