He pushed the tip toward her lips. “Open,” he commanded. “Open up and take me inside your mouth.”

Tyra eyed Rem’smassive length dubiously. He was so huge, she had no idea how she would manage to suck his cock. Apprehension flowed through her, even as the quaking between her thighs reignited, causing her clit to throb unbearably despite the fact that she’d come only minutes ago.

Her nipples had grown so tight that they almost burned, and her breasts felt achy and heavy. She longed for Rem to reach out and caress her bosom, but she knew she must obey his order and start sucking his cock. First, she needed to take the huge appendage into her mouth. She exhaled a deep breath and then parted her lips. A drop of precum gleamed on the tip of his manhood, and as he nudged the tip into her mouth, she savored the salty essence of his seed.

Her heart pounded faster as she started taking him deeper, until the tip of his cock pressed against the back of her throat, nearly gagging her. She drew in a deep breath through her nose and steadied herself to commence pleasing her mate.

He groaned and laced his fingers through her hair. “Gods, Tyra. That feels so good.”

Warmed by his praise, she continued, and though her movements were a bit clumsy, she started bobbing her head forward and back as she ran her tongue down his hard length. Minutes passed as she kept sucking, spurred on by his sexy growls and moans. She liked that she was making him feel so good, liked that she was drawing such noises of pleasure from him.

His cock seemed to harden further in her mouth and she struggled not to gag yet again as he shoved deep in her throat. He grasped her head and held her in place, then started driving in and out of her mouth.

“I’m going to climax soon,” he said, “and I’m going to erupt into the back of your throat. You’re to swallow every last drop, my sweet mate. I plan to shoot my seed inside of you on a frequent basis. In your mouth and in your tight little pussy as I mark you asmineover and over.”

His shocking words sent a thrill through her. She quivered in place as she accepted each hard thrust into her throat, she had no choice but to accept his size as he drove into her again and again, his growls increasing along with his pace.

The first spurt of his seed was a hot pulsing jet against the back of her throat. She struggled to swallow and it took several tries until she’d gulped it all down. Another pulse of his essence filled her and she did her best to swallow again. She couldn’t believe how much seed could erupt from his cock when he climaxed.

She had felt the warmth inside her pussy before, and whenever he came in her, his essence always dripped out of her and slid down her thighs, but she hadn’t realized how large the amount was until she was forced to swallow every last drop, per his orders.

When the spurts stopped coming, his length remained hard in her mouth, but he withdrew and cupped her face. He stroked her hair and peered at her with a gaze so affectionate that she felt as though she were about to swoon. A second later, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her back to the bed.

To her surprise, he pressed her upon the bed and kissed his way down her body. He shoved her legs apart and began feasting on her again, though this time he brought her to a quick, hard release that made her writhe upon the bed and scream out his name.

Just when she didn’t think she could take anymore pleasure, he settled his cock between her thighs and shoved hard and deep, stealing her breath with the rapid plunge. Oh God. She could scarcely catch her breath as he pounded into her.

His muscular green chest gleamed under a sheen of perspiration and occasionally the tips of his horns scraped over her lower thighs, though it didn’t really hurt, it simply felt as though he were dragging his nails over her flesh. Goosebumps rose all over her body, even as heated waves engulfed her.

His nostrils flared and he emitted a fierce growl that shook her insides. “I’m about to fill you up again, little Tyra.” His eyes darkened and then he erupted inside her in a torrent of pulsing liquid heat.

Breathless with desire, she couldn’t even find the strength to lift her head as he withdrew from her center moments later. Her eyes fluttered shut and she kept floating, lost in a sea of requited pleasure, the aftermath of their mutual bliss buzzing through her like alcohol flowing in her blood.

She was barely cognizant as he proceeded to take care of her. He pressed a cool cloth to her center. At some point, he gave her a quick bath, dried her off, and dressed her in one of his oversized shirts. The last thing she remembered before falling asleep was his lips at her ear as he murmured something in his native tongue.

His voice was gentle and affectionate, and she imagined he was spilling his heart to her and confessing his love. It was a beautiful thought. God, how she hoped it was true, because the truth was, she was starting to fall in love with him.

He cared for her, made her feel safe, and it was nice to finally feel wanted. She had spent so many years feeling unwanted and uncertain, as well as frightened of her future. But now she finally had a place to call home and a sweet, albeit possessive, mate to call her very own.

Chapter 21

“You look tired,” Rem’s mother said. “Are you feeling all right, Tyra?”

“Oh, I’m feeling just fine,” Tyra replied, her face flushing. Rem had kept her up rather late last night and she was definitely feeling the effects of it today, though she wasn’t about to complain. She had enjoyed every second of their time together.

“I hope that son of mine isn’t working you too hard. He has money, you know. He could afford to hire a housekeeper for you.” Alissina smiled. “If you would like, I can send one of our housekeepers over to help you tomorrow.”

“Oh, I appreciate the offer, really I do, but that’s not necessary. I truly enjoy keeping house and especially cooking. Of course, I might change my mind about wanting help after we have children,” she replied with a giggle as they approached a crowded square that contained dozens upon dozens of vendor booths.

Alissina grabbed for Tyra’s arm and stopped her in the street. “Children?” she asked with a wide grin. “Do you think you will have children soon? Are you trying?”

Tyra flushed. “I, um…” Her voice trailed off and her face heated further. She didn’t know how to respond.

“Ah, so you are trying,” Rem’s mother said, her voice filled with delight. “Well, I cannot wait to become a grandmother. I never thought Rem would take a mate so I was overjoyed when I learned he was taking a mail order bride from Earth.”

“Why did you think Rem would never take a mate?” Tyra couldn’t help but ask. She felt guilty, as the answer likely had something to do with the loss Rem had mentioned, the person he’d cared about who’d died because of the Xieandans. She knew she ought to hear this from Rem himself. Now that she’d asked the question, though, she wasn’t about to take it back.
