He kisses me hungrily before he responds. “I love you, my mate, my Zarra, my love.”
And then we kiss again, feverishly. The need is all-consuming, and the bond is pulsing in my chest. I feel it now, and it is filled with want.
T’Rak lifts me and slams me against the wall behind us. I wrap my legs around his waist and grind against his cock. We are out of control, and I am here for it. I feel feverish, and the only thing I can focus on is having him inside of me. Now.
I rip my lips from his and pant. “T’Rak, I need you. NOW.” He grunts before he yanks up my top, he hoists me up higher as if I weigh nothing, and lavishes attention on my breasts. He licks and sucks and bites my nipple, while his hand is playing with my other breast. I clutch his head against my chest, his beard leaving stubble all over me, but it only adds to the sensations.
I whine his name and he takes the hint, ripping the seams of my trousers before he lets me slide down to his waist.
“Do you need something, my love?”
“Yes! Yes, your cock, please!”
He chuckles and releases his cock from his leather pants, teasing me with just the tip at my entrance.
“Promise me you will never try to leave me again.”
I whine again. “That’s not fair!”
He slides in an inch. “It is not, but I need your words, Fr’Ya.”
“I will never leave you, T’Rak. But you’d better never leave me behind!”
“That I can promise you,” he grunts before he pushes himself to the hilt. My eyes roll back and I see stars, his ridges ripple against my inner walls, and before he can even thrust once, I cum. He’s not gentle this time, though. He keeps thrusting into me, hard. My back scrapes against the metal off the wall, but the discomfort only adds to the pleasure. When he throws his head back and roars his release, I cum again. Screaming.
I am limp in his arms as he walks me to his room. He gently lays me down on the bed and retreats to the bathroom, cleaning me up when he returns. After he disposes of the cloth he sinks down next to me, and we just look at each other. I reach for his hand, and he takes mine, kissing the knuckles. There’s a comfortable silence, and I find myself drowning in the stars that swirl in his eyes.
“I love you.” Now that I’ve let the feelings in, I am overflowing with a need to share them with him.
He places a gentle kiss on my fingers. “Will you come home with me? Fly with my crew, explore the galaxy.”
“Yes!” My heart fills with warmth, and then I remember the kittens. “But what about Bygul and Trjegul?”
“The cats can stay on the Ring; they are making their home in Kepti’s garden right now. We can visit them when we are at the station.” He hesitates. “You can always stay there.”
“No.” My mind is made up about that part. “I want to stay with you. I only want to stay with you.”
“Forever?” he asks.
“Forever.”
EPILOGUE
Freya
The sight of the nebula never amazes me. I have seen it a dozen times by now, but I still feel the wonder of the first time.
“That is because it is home,”T’Rak tells me through our bond.
“You are my home, big guy.”
He smiles and hugs me closer. He is piloting the ship, and I’m in his lap. D’Var is cradling Lauren on his, and A’Rok is laughing at us.
The third chair, O’Rec’s chair, stayed empty for a while after we came back to the Ring. We took a break, which was great, because it gave us enough time to bond and made me connect with Lauren, Mara, and the other women. Something I desperately needed. I grieved for Earth, cried bitter tears over the loss of my family and my friends, and they helped me through it. I lost everything I had on Earth but gained a whole new family on the Ring.
T’Rak needed some time as well. Though extremelytough, he’s a big old softy on the inside, and losing his brother shifted his world.
When we finally went back out, it was just the four of us for the first missions. T’Rak decided quickly that a crew should always be three, and they searched for a new addition. A’Rok is young, but motivated, and he balances between T’Rak’s seriousness and D’Var’s antics. He is also young enough not to think about settling down, which is good, because things are changing fast enough around here.
