Page 42 of Alien Engineer's Mate

“No.” He groaned, watching her mouth. “I want to lock you up until you agree to my claim. Slake my lust on your gorgeous body, feel you come on my cock over and over.”

He let go of her legs, letting her slide partway down his hard, warrior’s body, but not all the way. She was caught, pressed against him, with her feet off the ground as he held her easily. Using a big hand, he pressed her hips against his, letting her feel the hardness of his cock, trapped between them.

“I want to know what you look like when I take you,” he growled. “I want to see what you look like when you shatter in pleasure, and know thatIdid that to you.”

“Oh god,” she whimpered, less than a heartbeat from begging.

“So no,” he lifted his head, watching her. She felt the iron control in the tension of his body. “I don’t want toaskyou. I want to take. Everything you have. Everything you are. You aremine, kelarris.Always mine.”

“Yours,” she nodded in agreement, answering the question he hadn’t asked. She didn’t need that from him. “Please…”

Her soft plea broke the dam of his control. With a growl, he dropped her to her feet and pushed her back onto the bed in one quick moment. She barely felt the coolness of the sheets before he was braced over her. His hair brushed her shoulders and neck as he took her lips again.

Her moan broke free as she clung to him. There were no preambles. He didn’t bother with niceties. His kiss was hard and ruthless, and so damned hot she almost caught fire there and then. Wrapping herself around him, she drove her hand up into his hair like she’d wanted to from the moment she’d met him.

She met him kiss for kiss, their tongues tangling in a torrid dance of heat and need. Braced on one elbow, he cupped the back of her neck in one large hand, tilting her mouth to where he wanted even as his other hand swept down her body. She whimpered, the sound lost in his mouth as he cupped her breast, the knowing sweep of his thumb making her nipple pebble immediately. But he didn’t stop there, sliding his hand down the curve of her waist and over the swell of her hip. Before she could register his movements, he cupped her, right through her dress, long, strong fingers pressing right where she needed him.

“Oh god,” she broke away from his kiss to gasp. For saying the Lathar had no women, he knew his way around a woman’s bodyreallywell.

“Is that right?” he murmured, nudging her chin up so he could kiss along the line of her jaw. He rocked his hand againsther, altering the pressure of his fingers over her cloth-covered lower lips. “Do you like that?”

“Uh-huh,” she managed from somewhere, nodding. “Just… better with…”

“With whatkelarris?”He nipped softly at the soft lobe of her ear, sending chills through her body. Stars, she didn’t know it could be this way. That a man could turn her on this much. “Tell me what you like…”

“Without clothes,” she gasped. “It would feel better with no clothes.”

She felt his smile against the skin of her throat as he kissed her. Even though she couldn’t see it, she just knew it was wicked.

“That’s not a problem,” he pulled away from her, leaving her dazed and blinking on the bed as he stood up. Her eyes widened as he began to strip, right there in front of her. Lifting on her elbows, she watched as he shrugged out of his jacket. None of the Lathar wore shirts, so she’d known that he was packed with heavy, hard-carved muscle, but there was seeing it through the open jacket and there wasseeingit as he took his clothes off for her.

A small smile quirked the corners of his lips and he tensed his shoulders as he dropped his jacket on the floor. “Do you like what you see, little mate?”

She couldn’t do anything but nod as he reached for his belt buckle, chest and abs tensed as he toed his boots off at the same time. But she really couldn’t spare any brain cells for his footwear, not when the belt was loose and his strong fingers unsnapped each button, revealing more and more of his flat, hard lower abdomen. The leather parted and she bit her lip. He had those hard ridges either side that made every feminine instinct she had sit up and take notice.

He pushed the leather down over his hips and his cock popped free. Long and thick, it curved upward proudly to hiscobblestone abs, the wide head flushed and already weeping with pre-cum.

“Oh shit…”

It was… No, there was no way that was fitting inside her. A deep chuckle filled the air, and she dragged her attention back up to his face. A smug, amused grin filled with masculine pride and ego creased his lips.

“If there is any look a male wants to see on his mate’s face when she sees him for the first time,” he rumbled. “It has to be that.”

He got rid of his pants by the simple act of shoving them down his legs, and then he was advancing on her again, a dark look in his eyes.

“Dress,” he growled. “Off, or I’m going to tear it off.”

“No!” she squeaked, already sitting up to twist so she could get to the zip down the side.

“Let me,” he murmured, hooking a strong arm around her waist to pull her to her feet. Her back against his broad chest, he pulled the zipper down slowly, taking the opportunity to leave a line of kisses down the side of her throat, then her shoulder when the dress gaped, sliding down her body to catch on her hips.

Heat flushed her cheeks. She wasn’t as slender as some women in the program, and she’d had three kids. Childbearing was an understatement when it came to describing her hips. What would he think of her body? Would he be disappointed when he saw her naked?

“Gods, you are sososoft,” he groaned, his hand sliding over the skin he exposed. Down her side and around. She gasped, biting her lip again as he pushed under the dress bunched at her waist and further down under the fabric.

Her panties stopped his advance, and he growled. “Draanthit. Why do human women wear so many clothes?”

She couldn’t help the chuckle, one that ended in a strangled sound as he managed to navigate her underwear and slid his hand beneath them. The first brush as his strong fingers parted her pussy lips had her clutching at his wrist for support, but the second, when he found her clit, made her knees buckle.
