Obeying with alacrity, she turns, and I draw her dress up around her hips. Her bottom is flushed pink. Without me asking, she bends over the bench, and I look at her pussy, pink and wet. I tease my fingers over her swollen nub, gratified at the way she cries out and her tight little pussy clenches when I sink my fingers inside her. I free my length, cum already rolling down the shaft. I hold it over her bottom, my arousal dripping over her skin. I press some of my seed inside her as I pump my fingers in and out of her.

“Come for me, sweetheart,” I tell her.

She cries out when I bury my fingers in her once more with my thumb teasing over her clit. She shudders around me as myrelease spurts all over her pussy, running down and dripping to the ground underneath us.

It takes me a moment to catch my breath. I turn her around, fingering her from the front before I draw my fingers out and lick her arousal off them. I finally release her dress and hold her close to kiss her so she can taste the mingled flavors of us on her tongue.

I help tidy her clothes. I love knowing that she’ll walk around with my seed sticky between her thighs for the rest of the day.

Chapter Five

MELODY

I return to work, feeling almost weak-kneed from the pleasure Hunter wrought on my body. I honestly don’t even know how to feel about how good it feels to be with him.

My life on Earth was one of fear with an abusive father and later a brother who also became abusive. Women had next to nothing there. We could work and access online things, mostly because there was no way for the government to cut that off. Kidnappings were common. I’d grown up simply hoping I could keep my head down and no one would notice me. I didn’t want to marry, much less ever have children. In fact, I had prayed to be barren.

Now, I crave carrying a baby, quite specifically Hunter’s baby. I love it here. The planet is so beautiful. It’s a little startling for me to realize that when you have what you need and you’re not starving and fighting over resources, so much fear and conflict dissipates.

I glance over at my boss. “Thank you for my lunch break.”

She smiles, her eyes twinkling. “Your Hunter is a handsome man. I can feel the burn of the infinity pulse between you.”

“Really?” I prompt.

She approaches and places her large hands on my shoulders. Her skin is beautiful. It’s shimmery green and always warm. “My dear, you deserve to feel safe and loved.” She waggles her brows. “Hunter is one of the royal family’s protectors. You will be safe.”

A little anxiety spins in my chest. “I just hope I can”—I let out a little sigh—“satisfy him and be good to him in the way that he needs.”

“I see the way he looks at you. You needn’t worry. That man is on fire for you, and it will stay that way because of the infinity pulse.” She squeezes my shoulders firmly before dropping her hands. “Now, go home. I will see you tomorrow.”

As I walk down the street to home, a sense of lightness gusts through me. It’s crazy, but this new-to-me planet, where I have no family or anyone I’ve known until recently, feels more like home than Earth ever did. My mother had been the one bright light in my life. After she died, life felt darker and bleaker.

Here, the air is soft. There’s sunshine, rain, trees, flowers, and wildlife. A bright blue bird flies by, flitting about in a tree as I walk past it. I pause to marvel. Someone rides by on one of those horses with sharp tails. Nadine tells me I’ll be able to ride one, and I’m so excited.

I turn onto the street leading me to where I’m staying with the other women who came here from Earth. Since I arrived on the first trip, another group has landed. We’re still getting to know them. We stay in a house in the royal compound. Princess Jane stops and visits us every day.

Maybe once I feel completely safe, I’ll be able to relax. I’ve been worried that I won’t find a mate. I’m more than happy to simply marry a man who won’t abuse me. Abuse is all but unheard of here, from what I’ve been told, because they worship women on this planet. The annual festival they hold here to honor women is what led to the death of so many during a space storm.

When I turn into the gate, I’m aware there’s security nearby. Jane assures us we’ll be safe, but she was kidnapped by a group on the other side of the planet recently. I try not to think about that much.

A few minutes later, I’m sitting on a comfortable couch holding a glass of lemonade, my new favorite beverage. They cultivate lemons from Earth here. This planet is a hub in the galaxy due to its safety and abundance. Lots of beings travel here from other planets. Before Earth’s environment was devastated, they sent seeds here in large quantities, and the people here began cultivating them.

“How was work?” Romi asks as she plunks down across from me, adjusting her dress.

Jane has given us a selection of clothing to choose from. So far, we all favor the soft dresses. It was hard to find pretty clothes on Earth.

I feel myself beginning to blush, and Romi’s brows arch. “Did Hunter come to see you?”

I can’t help my smile. “He did. He took me to lunch.”

“What did you have?” she asks. It’s a simple question, but my face burns.

Romi’s smile is sly. “I’m guessing you didn’t actually eat.”

I clear my throat as she laughs softly. “From what I understand, if you have the infinity pulse with someone, they want you all the time.” She pauses and shakes her head. “I can’t even imagine that. Even the best relationships on Earth were just not abusive.”

I nod. “It’s hard to feel good about much when you’re hungry and poor all the time.”
