Soft thighs press against me as her legs wrap around my back. Everything about my female is soft, especially her heart. She’s accepted me for who I am, including all that I’ve done.
As I thrust into her and listen to her sweet moans, I see a future full of love and possibilities. When her walls clench and squeeze my pleasure cock, drawing more frem from me, I imagine it’s my mating cock, and she’s taking my seed.
“One of these days, I will claim you fully.”
“When?”
I pepper the junction of her neck and shoulder with a dozen quick kisses, causing her to laugh. She’s rather ticklish, my female. “When you are ready to be mine. Are you ready, Lexi?”
She hesitates, which immediately worries me, especially with how her smile fades. “A full claiming is like a marriage, right?”
“It bonds us. Forever. Which is why you need to be sure.”
“I’m mostly sure.”
I go still at her words. “I have not proven myself to you. What happened with Narzan?—”
She cups my face with a firmness that keeps me from averting my eyes. “This is about me, Lutan, and where I’ll fit into your life. Where would we live, what would I do? What restrictions would I have in your culture?”
“We are free to live anywhere, do anything, sholani. Those are decisions we will make. Together.”
“Even Earth? I thought as a warrior, you’d be required to live on Zyan.”
“I’m a tracker. That means I often travel from planet to planet. Zyan does not restrict warriors from living wherever they want, including Earth, except in times of war. Then we are recalled home.”
“That means we can live here and I can continue working with my father?”
“If that is what you wish.”
She notices my horns rising before I force them back. “You still don’t trust him,” she says.
“I do not have the best experience with fathers.”
“I’m sorry about your father, Lutan,” she whispers. “My father will accept you in time. He’ll have to.”
“Why is that?”
“Because I won’t give him a choice. We’re a package deal. If he wants me in his life, then he’ll have to accept you as well.”
She means it. My Lexi is a determined woman. “I will be patient then, my sweet Lexi.”
“There’s one more thing, Lutan. My family’s leaving on a trip in a few days. For work. A job in Japan, which is on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. These jobs usually take a few weeks. We do a preliminary workup here at home, then travel to the location to see the area and issues first hand, to make sure we haven’t missed anything.”
“You do this often?”
“A few times a year. We’ve been all over the world. This trip is more crucial than most. It will give me the one-on-one time I need with him, to work things out in regard to my choices.”
“You mean me.”
“Yes.” She pushes up and kisses me. “Will you… will you be here when I return?”
I look past her.
“Lutan?”
