He kneels in front of me, and it truly feels as if he is worshipping me as his palms slide down my thighs. His touch is strong and sure.

“Look,” he says.

I follow his gaze down to my pussy. Watching his fingers slide through my slippery arousal is beyond filthy, and I am so needy. “Asher,” I beg.

Chapter Nineteen

ASHER

I’m dancing along the edge of pain. My cock is so hard that I can feel cum leaking out the tip as it swells to press against the laces of my breeches. I lift my eyes to see Jane looking down just as I’ve asked her to do.

I tease my fingers into her glistening pink folds, sliding two in at once. She bites her lips as she whimpers, and her pussy tightens in a rippling clench around my fingers.

Her clit is pink and plump, pushing out. “Soon, you will be round with my baby. Look at your needy little clit,” I say as I circle my thumb over it.

She cries out sharply, and I feel the pulse of her heartbeat in her clit. My own cock is beating with need.

“Please, Asher,” she rasps.

I pump my fingers into her again. As much as I want to make her come right now, I need to be inside her when it happens. I straighten, ordering her, “Turn around and bend over.”

Jane, my princess, moves with alacrity. She shimmies off the table and spins around, bending over to show me her beautiful bottom, her curves generous. I’m yanking at the laces on my breeches, and my cock springs free, cum rolling down its length.

“Hurry,” she begs, pushing her hips back to meet me as I bring my thick crown to her entrance.

On the heels of a breath, I fill her swiftly. She cries out, and I feel her arousal building. I reach around to tease my fingers over that needy clit of hers, letting out a growl of satisfaction when I feel her coming as she cries my name. She shudders all over and pushes her hips back into me, taking all of me into her silky, clenching sheath.

My release is fierce, like a clap of thunder in my body. Once more, I pour my seed into her. I know she’s already pregnant, but something about knowing that she’ll be walking around with my seed wet between her bare thighs is so primal.

I smooth a palm up her spine, needing the connection. I let it rest between her shoulder blades, where I can feel the beat of her heart. Her soft sigh spins around my heart like a little lasso, cinching tight. She may be mine, but more than that, I am hers. Sheownsmy heart.

We disentangle ourselves and tidy our clothes. A few moments later, she turns to look up at me, her cheeks stained pink. She looks almost bashful. I love this about her. She’s wild and free when we’re intimate. In the aftermath, she’s always a touch shy about it.

I step closer again, lifting a hand to brush a loose lock of hair off her cheek. “What is it, love?” I ask, my voice low as I search her eyes.

She bites her lip before she takes a quick breath. “You. Obviously, I never expected to be a princess on another planet. And I certainly never imagined I could feel like this with someone.”

She places her palm over my heart, and it lunges toward her touch, recognizing its owner.

I never expected a woman from Earth to be my princess. And even though I knew of infinity pulse, its power is more than Iexpected. I place my palm over the back of her hand, holding her gaze as I take a steadying breath. “You are everything to me. I’m so glad I found you.”

I’m leaning to kiss her when there’s a sharp knock on the door. Helena’s voice reaches us. “I’m sure you’re busy, but we’re here for business,” she calls.

Jane bites her lip as she giggles. I lower our clasped hands, and we walk toward the door together. I watch over the next few hours as Jane deftly handles the crush of applicants.

Maybe we didn’t quite catch that the concept of royalty on Earth is more of a news thing than anything, but as Jane pointed out, it’s a draw. There’s that, and the fact that life on earth isn’t great. For anyone, but even more so for women.

By the end of the day, they’ve selected four women to return to the planet. One of them is already bonded to Kayden, although I wonder if he will believe in the power of infinity pulse. My old friend and lead bodyguard is cynical.

I reach for Jane’s hand as we walk back toward the spaceship. She smiles up at me as her fingers lace with mine. “You handled that perfectly, my princess,” I murmur.

Her eyes twinkle. “You think?”

“Yes, I can already tell those you’ve selected will handle the transition to a new planet well.”

“I hope I don’t work myself out of a job,” she teases.

I shake my head. “You won’t. And if you do, there will be something else.”
