Page 13 of Haunted By the Alien
“Do you fear aliens, Kenzie?”
“Not all aliens, I guess. They’re people too. Good and bad, like humans. At least that’s my hope, though at times it’s hard to stay positive. I’ve only seen an alien in person once, when I was a child and had to go to the doctor. I’d fallen down the steps and broken my arm.” She flexes her right arm. “We passed a grud in the streets. He scared the hell out of me. It wasn’t the glowing yellow eyes or green skin, either. I saw him…”
When her voice falls off, I hold her hand. She takes a deep breath, then continues. “The grud raked his claws down a man’s back. The screaming…” She shields her ears as if she’s experiencing the trauma all over again.
I ease her hands away from her ears. “You are safe, Kenzie.” When her beautiful green eyes meet mine. I run my other hand up her arm. Her soft skin feels like velvet beneath my fingertips. “Your arm healed perfectly.”
“That feels nice. You have a gentle touch, Kobrik. You could be a doctor.”
“Hussa! I can break bones, sever arteries, even rip off heads, but not heal. That requires a compassionate soul. Not a warrior.”
“I love how into role-playing you are. It shows real passion.” She presses her body against mine and pushes up on her toes, her lips nearing mine. “What do you do to a prisoner when you capture her?” she asks in a sultry voice.
My pleasure cock’s harder than a diamond, and not the version they have here on Earth either. The truly hard diamonds mined on Tunzen.
“I’ve never had a female prisoner.”
“Maybe I should be your first?” Her eyebrows dance for me. My cock is going to burst through my trou if she continues.
I pull a pair of mag cuffs out from a back pocket. “Would you like me to restrain you, female?”
She bites her lip, but the hint of a smile reaches her eyes. I’m about to explode.
KENZIE
I only intendedsome harmless flirting with Kobrik but there’s this crazy pull to him. Off the charts. And when he flashes those handcuffs—which look incredibly real—my lower half wakes up. As in, I’m clenching and eager to spend the night with him.
It’s been forever since I’ve had sex and I’ve never had a reaction to a guy like this.
Kobrik is handsome, sweet, and caring. There are so few men like that these days. Damn, I’d even take just plain sweet, as looks don’t last forever.
I slide my hand over the metal cuffs, then keep going, past his hand, up his arm, finally circling the tribal tattoos on his biceps.
“I don’t share my fantasies with men I barely know.” I throw him a teasing smile. “I guess you’re gonna have to make sure you find me when your job’s done,Warrior.”
“Hey, Kenzie,” a woman calls from down the street. My co-worker Rayna is walking with four males. “Are you heading to Josh’s party?” she asks.
“I’ll be there soon.”
Kobrik takes my hand and guides me into the shadows of an apartment building. “There will be more males than females at this party? Will you be safe there?”
I press splayed hands against his chest and push up on my toes until my mouth brushes against his. “I’d be safer with you there. Are you sure you can’t come with me?”
And yes, I intended the pun.
Did I just see his horns move? The dim light must be screwing with my eyes.
His hand cups my cheek. “You leave me torn.”
“I didn’t mean to alarm you. I’ll be perfectly safe. Rayna’s one of several friends going to the party. Do what you need for work. Good jobs are hard to find. But I hope you’ll stop by if you get off in time.”
His lips press against mine, catching me off guard. A determined tongue takes its time exploring every corner of my mouth before stroking my tongue. Thoughts of skipping the party and taking Kobrik to my apartment fill my head.
My fingers tangle in his hair while my other hand glides over his breathtakingly contoured chest and abdominal muscles. Oh, the power in this man.
His lips slowly pull away and plant a sweet kiss on my forehead. “I’m sorry,” he says, puzzling me.
A second later, I feel the snap of metal enclosing my wrists.
