ENTERING THE PALACEsuite, I was greeted by Riley, who ran to me, jumped and wrapped her legs around me.

Our mate bond had strengthened a lot, and our desire for one another had only grown.

While she was always happy to see me, she had never greeted me in this manner before.

And I was not complaining.

Her lips felt soft and tender against my skin as she began to kiss my face.

I gave her ponytail a gentle tug, grinning at her. “My mate. What has you so excited to see me?”

My K’sha drew her head back to meet my gaze.

“I’m always happy to see you, big guy. I’m grateful because Grace told me that you agreed to extend our stay so I can help her with the new mate program.”

She kissed each of my cheeks, then squeezed her legs tighter around my waist. I kissed her and held her enticing behind in my palms.

“We will be returning to our new vessel in a couple of cycles. You still want to go with me, do you not?”

I was filled with dread at the thought of her not leaving with me when the time came.

With a gentle tilt of her head, Riley flashed me a sweet smile.

“Of course, silly. You aren’t leaving without me. It’s just, the mate program will allow hundreds of Alaran males to meet their K’sha. It excites me knowing how happy they will be.”

She kissed the tip of my nose, then my lips. “Just like us.”

My adorable mate was secretly very sensitive to emotion though she tried to deny it. Every time I touched her, or our skin brushed, I felt her reaction through our mate bond.

Riley’s body pressed against mine, and I was enveloped in the captivating, seductive fragrance of her arousal.

My member instantly stiffened in my pants.

“Why don’t I take you to our bed. You can show me as much gratitude as you can manage.”

She laughed. “Are you saying I will tire before you? Because I won’t.” Riley’s eyes filled with mirth.

My hands moved from her buttocks and thighs towards her center. Her body wriggled and a soft moan escaped her lips as I made my way towards our bedroom.

I gently lowered her to the ground, then pulled her tunic over her head as she raised her arms.

Riley quickly let her pants fall to the floor.

Inhaling between my teeth, I groaned at the fact she wore nothing underneath her clothing.

From head to toe, she was a living example of flawlessness, her beauty undeniable.

The light seemed to dance on her skin, giving it a radiant appearance.

Her breasts were softly rounded, topped with dusky nipples, and fit perfectly in the palm of my hand.

With desire, my eyes lingered over her, taking in every detail.

My voice, tinged with longing, husked out the words, “Gods, I crave you every moment of every rotation.”

My body was on fire and she was the only thing that could quench it. Ever since claiming my K’sha, my only desire was to spend every spare moment in bed, with her legs wrapped around me.

With a playful smile, Riley leaned in and whispered, “I’m all yours, big guy. Always.”
