My will to hold back is dwindling. I need to release soon. I pull out to take a mini break, but Arella’s not having it.

She grabs my cock and strokes me into submission. “Come back.”

Breathlessly, I obey, climbing back on top of her, but I’m done being gentle. I drive into her so hard, she screams out. She keeps screaming as I pump, and pump, and pump.

“Come for me, baby,” I beg.

“I’m so close,” she half gasps, half moans.

That makes me almost erupt. I circle my fingers around her swollen clit over and over until, finally, her nails dig into my forearm and she shrieks. The sound of her orgasm is my sweet release. She pulsates around me as I pour into her.

Suddenly, it comes to me, clear as day. All her emotions rush through my mind. Arousal, gratification, relief. I sense her feelings for me, all desire, and need, and... something else. I drink in every second of it as I thrust one more time, groaning as I hammer every last drop inside her.

Then, as quickly as it came, it’s gone.

I collapse over her with an arm on either side of her face, careful not to crush her. My ear presses against her thrashingheart. A thin layer of sweat coats her body, sticking to my dry skin. Together, we pant hard, and we stay like this until our breaths slow.

She lets out a little gasp as I pull out. Flopping next to her, I stare up at the stars with my mind in disarray. Isensedher. Only for a few seconds, but I sensed her!How?

I gape at her, searching for an explanation. I will my mind power to work on her again. It doesn’t. She’s blank, like always, except...notalways.How did that happen?

However it happened, I can’t try to figure it out now. My brain can’t process anything—not after that. It was crazy. The best I’ve ever had. Uncontrollable passion. It unearthed a deep intensity in my soul that I don’t know how to explain. All I know is that I was meant to be inside this woman.

“You didn’t pull out,” Arella says, interrupting my thoughts.

I pat my chest and gesture for her to scoot toward me. She does, nuzzling her head into the crook of my shoulder.

“You’re on birth control, right?” I don’t even pretend to sound concerned.

“Yeah.”

“And you’re consistent with it?”

“I have the implant.”

I give her a look that says,What the hell is that?I know nothing about Ordinary birth control options, except that they have pills and backup pills.

“It’s a little rod they stick into your arm, and it works for three years.”

There’s a Zordi version of that. I’m pretty sure Jess has it. “Is your three years up?”

“Not yet.”

“And the success rate is . . . ?”

“Over ninety-nine percent.”

“Sounds like we’re good.”

She makes apfftsound.“That’s not the point.”

“Then what is?”

“The point is that you just came inside me, and you didn’t even know if I was on birth control or not. You’ve never even asked. What if I wasn’t?”

I’ve always been careful to use protection with Zordi women. Once, Jess tried to get me to fuck her without a condom. I’m a risk taker, but I’m notthatmuch of a risk taker. One percent is still too high, and with my luck, I’d be part of that tiny statistic.

With Ordis, though, there’s no risk. I couldn’t have a baby with Arella even if the Zordinary fertility gods floated down from the fucking sky and sprinkled us with their golden baby dust.
