My fingers probed and explored my mate with precision. I needed her to crumble in my arms, and for mine to be the only name that ever escaped those lips of hers.
Her diamond wings were covering us from view of anyone that might interrupt us, but I couldn’t take her here. Not like this.
What was wrong with me?
She was willing, and open for me, and I held myself back like a fool.
You want her to want you.
It was a stupid thought, since none of the estreld ever kept any of their mates, but I knew as soon as I kissed her and my canines extended that if I mated with her… I wouldn’t be able to let her go. My Sholonus instincts would take over, and I’d kidnap her from her own planet to make sure she’d never leave my side.
My chest vibrated with the need to claim her. Even my cock pulsed as I pressed her thigh against me while I cupped her ass in one hand, and teased her entrance with my other. I rubbed my thumb against her clit as I slid in and out of her, wishing it wasn’t my finger deep inside, but my shaft.
Her whole body glowed and shivered, as she clung to my shirt and wrapped her arm around my neck to pull me closer. Luan’s soft moans drove me mad with need.
“Say my name,” I begged her.
Luan lifted her firm ass in the air, adjusting herself towards my cock, and she whimpered as I pulsed against her bundle of nerves. Holding her to me I kept my cock rubbing against her as I sunk my fingers into her eager haven, matching my rhythm. Her wings folded over us, and they were warm against my back. I didn’t worry about whether they would cut me or not, it would be worth it.
“Vareo,” she finally rasped, and my heart swelled with emotion at hearing my name on those perfect lips of hers.
As I felt her shudder her release, I bit my tongue to prevent myself from completing my own. I couldn’t afford to let myself feel anymore than I already did, for her sake.
The life of an indentured outlaw wasn’t what she deserved. And while I still had some control over myself, I wouldn’t steal her away from her home planet.
Fuck, what was I doing getting distracted with mating someone I couldn’t have. I needed to focus on what I came here for. Stealing the jewel of Estreldez.
Holding her to me as she panted, I could smell her juices in the air and I tried to memorize her fragrance for later, the scent of her need for me and no one else.
I growled possessively as I sniffed the top of her blond hair, she smelled of wild flowers from my home planet. Cost a sum of credits to find the seeds for them, and an incubator to supplythem with the correct nitrogen levels. All I had to do was come to Estreldez and the true flower was here all along.
“I like the way your body pulses like mine,” she admitted while stroking my chest. I regretted not ripping the shirt away when I had the chance, now I wanted nothing more than to feel her fingers against my skin. My cock still ached to complete what we started.
Luan trailed down my shirt, toying with the top closure of my pants, and my blood pumped faster at her advances. I groaned with an intake of air as her palm rubbed my shaft and her fingers cupped my balls.
She giggled. The sound brought warmth to my chest. I needed to hear more of that sweet laughter, but I couldn’t let her continue. Grabbing her hand to still her as she clutched my cock she peered up at me with a raised eyebrow. Her silver eyes glowed with mischief.
“If you continue I won’t let you go.”
That seemed to clear her head, and replaced those lusty orbs with fear. She adjusted her silky dress, repositioning the slit of her skirt back to her smooth thigh. Not that covering up would do anything to bar me access to that pretty pink center, it was the terrified expression on her face that stilled my hard need, and dulled my throbbing cock.
I had expected that kind of reaction, but it didn’t lessen the sting. Of course she didn’t want to be mated with me if it meant leaving her planet.
Estreldez wanted offspring, not someone taking one of their viable females. I’d be on their bounty list for more than stealing a diamond, but one of their prized breeders too. I’d never make it out of the star system with my shit piece of an excuse for a ship. That wasn’t part of the job. She wasn’t part of the plan.
She’s yours.
I gave her one of my reassuring smiles, as if I were merely joking. No need to scare her.
She turned her eyes up to the ceiling, only now did I notice the jeweled constellation design above us. This whole planet had a wealth of stones that they could decorate every room with murals like that.
“Do you really think the necia know of a planet with the technology that could help my clan?” She gnawed on her lower lip, worried about discussing this with me.
It wasn’t common knowledge, but what did I care if the necia were pressured into sharing the tech that could help the estreld scientists with their mating system, or even their food shortage.
“Even if they don’t have it, they know who does,” I was sure of that much.
That fire returned to her eyes, and before I could ask what she was planning a male cleared their throat to get our attention. My arms were still wrapped around her, and her wings of diamond daggers were now unfolded and spread out ready to strike.
