His fingers slide through my slippery folds with one hand as he grips his shaft with the other. I watch as his arousal drips down over me. I’ve never felt like this. Ever.

“Please,” I beg.

Even though I don’t know precisely what it is that I need, Hunter gives it to me. His fingers slide inside to fill me and pump in and out. All the while, we watch together as his arousal drips down, making it even more slippery there.

I don’t even recognize myself. I want him inside me and his seed filling me. I want to be plump and round with our baby.

I feel a sense of indescribable pleasure tightening inside until he gives me just enough pressure. The pleasure explodes through me, and I cry out. His release drips down.

I’m stunned and almost bewildered at how good I feel as I look up at him. Even though he has just given me more pleasure than I could’ve ever imagined, I want more as soon as it’s over. There’s an ache inside, and I want him to fill it.

I take a shaky breath. “I want more.”

He dips his head, kissing me as I feel him rubbing the tip of his shaft over me. “There will be more, but not now.”

After he pulls away, he helps me tidy myself. He drags my panties up, putting them in place. They’re messy from my arousal mingled with his, but I kind of like it. I like the idea of carrying that with me for the evening.

He doesn’t leave my side for the rest of that night. With Jane’s permission, he walks me back to where I’m staying with the other women from Earth. He kisses me at the gate and whispers, “I’ll see you every day until next week when we marry.”

Chapter Four

HUNTER

“Remind me why we have to wait a week?” I ask Kayden and Thorne.

Kayden chuckles. “Look who’s impatient now,” he teases lightly.

“You were impatient to marry Nadine,” I point out.

Kayden nods. “Very. I honestly don’t know about the waiting period. They say it’s tradition and that it is somehow important.”

Thorne waggles his brows as he looks over at me. Like me, he’s a spy. He will be leaving with our team to go to the other side of the planet in the coming months. We will gather information about those continuing to stir unrest. There’s an ongoing trial for those who kidnapped our princess. She is safe, and I predict she will be pregnant again. The infinity pulse binds her and our prince, and they are simply besotted with each other. It’s a miracle Asher gets anything done.

“And here you thought it was convenient not to believe in the infinity pulse because you’re a spy,” Thorne comments.

I roll my eyes. “You’ve said the same.”

“True enough. We’ll see if I fall.” He glances toward me, flicking his tail mockingly.

“You never do know,” I reply. “Did you even go to Princess Jane’s gathering the other night?”

Thorne shakes his head. “I did not.”

Kayden throws his head back with a hearty laugh. “You can only get away with that so many times.”

Thorne’s grin is cheeky as he shrugs.

“Now, let’s get down to business,” Kayden says. “When do we plan to start this operation?” He glances from me to Thorne.

“In a few weeks. And not just because of my wedding,” I say. “With the trial, things are a little stirred up over there as it is. Let’s wait until they’re past the opening arguments on that. Thorne and I have already scouted out options. We think getting temporary jobs at the large warehouse would be best. We can easily blend in there. We thought some others could apply for jobs at the local recycling company. That means they’ll travel all over town on a regular basis. They can be there long-term, and we’ll travel in and out for the seasonal jobs.”

Kayden nods. “Those are good options. Meanwhile, we have another issue with our landing station. Earth is sending a contingent here.”

“What?” I ask sharply.

“Asher told me he heard about it from the king. They’re aware of our matchmaking plans,” Kayden explains.

“How are they even traveling?” Thorne asks.
