“Look at you taking me so perfectly,” he murmurs while caressing my back. I’m too worked up for slow, pushing back against him, clenching my inner muscles. T’Rak groans and starts pounding into me, just like I wanted.
His ridges hit every place inside my body, and it doesn’t take long until I am right on the edge. I feel his pleasure through the bond, and he slows down on purpose. I’m not having it though, and I sink to my shoulders and wiggle myarm under me. Sweet relief starts flooding through me once my fingers find my slippery clit and I am cumming.
T’Rak cries out, then joins me, rutting his cum inside of me.
When both our orgasms die down, he rolls to his back and pulls me into his arms, kissing me gently.
“Welcome home, my love,” he says, and I smile at him. It is good to be home.
FIVE YEARS LATER
O’Rec
My heart still skips when I see the ship with my former crew arrive at the Ring. They have been gone a while, and as always, I feel like I lose a piece of myself every time they go. M’Ran is still talking to me, but I have lost focus and turn away from the windows to face him.
“I must go, M’Ran. T’Rak’s crew is back, and I need to greet them.”
M’Ran sighs, but I just grin and walk past him.“Marra, my star, the crew is back, let us go greet them. It needs to be done. Take our sons with you as well.”
“Are you alright, honey? You sound tense?”she replies through our bond.
“I have this feeling we need to be there, we all need to be there.”
My amazing mate, my Queen, does not reply anymore, but I feel determination and haste set in. She will meet me at the docking station. I make my way to the place at the Ring that has always been my favorite before I met my mate and settled down with her.
My citizens stop me, but I bristle at them with kind words—I need to be there before they arrive.
Marra and our sons meet me at the docking station, and my eldest boys run towards me. Laughing, I scoop them up, one in each arm. A’Zak starts talking right away. He is three years old and only knows one speed: max. His brother U’Rec is more thoughtful and puts his tiny hand on my cheek.
“Are you alright, papa?” His voice is soft and serious.
I nod. “I am my boy, something is coming. Something good, I just know it.”
Lauren
“Easy, baby, you can’t climb mommy anymore now that your little brother is coming.”
“But I want to see! I want to see the pretty clouds?”
“The nebula,” D’Var corrects our son. “Do you feel excited?”
He nods and pushes his nose up against the glass. I roll my eyes and wink at Freya. “Guess we need to add window cleaning to the bot program permanently.”
“Guess so,” she winks and leans back against her mate.
A’Rok strolls forward and crouches next to my son. He murmurs something in his ears and points out different things. I caress my nearly there belly. We have been waiting for the stars to bless us with this second child, and I cannot wait to come home and share the news with Mara.
D’Var comes to stand behind me and places his hand over mine.“O’Rec will be beside himself with the news.”
I grin.“In more ways than one.”
D’Var kisses my head, and we watch the nebula appear.This time, and every time we get home since K’Var was born, we watch the magic through his eyes. I cannot believe how much my life has changed in the past years, the joy and love I have found ever since I first saw that crowd part for this big and scary male. He showed me I was right to give him a second chance, and I have cherished every minute of it.
T’Rak
My mate is in my arms, my crew is happy, and we have some news to share with our King. I sense his presence when I am docking the ship. The connection faded over time, making room for A’Rok—as a functioning crew should do—but some things keep lingering.
Once the ship is fully docked, we make our way to the airlock. Fr’Ya is securing the cats in their designated area in Cargo Bay. Their bond to my mate was strong, and their separation was so depressing for them that I built them a play area, and we now take them with us on missions.
