Olivia didn’t know how to feel. Realistically, she knew nothing about Kaias. Hell, they weren’t the same species. But Kaias was hot, and no one on Earth could lay claim to what she would be doing. This was going to be a first among many.
 
 Her brain worked through the pros and cons list, finding that the cons were nearly nonexistent. She could learn more about Kaias, and what she did know about him was intriguing.
 
 “Do you understand?”
 
 She snorted out a muffled laugh. In a way, it felt like he wanted her consent. In response, she rolled her ass into him. Kaias purred against her.
 
 “I do not know if I could give you heirs.”
 
 The purr turned to laughter. It rumbled over her. She closed her eyes and leaned into his chest. Olivia could live in that laugh.
 
 “We will worry about that later,”he said, “for now, I want to teach you our ways as you taught me your name. I am a good teacher.”
 
 His hand traveled from her stomach down to her waist. His thumb played with the twisted folds of her robes, grazing just a peek of skin.
 
 “I hope you are,”Olivia whispered.
 
 Torque continued trotting, bringing her closer to Kaias. Just not close enough.
 
 “Soon,”Kaias promised. He snapped the reins, and Torque followed the orders. The creature sped up, pushing through the city center, closer to the palace.
 
 Her body was throbbing with need by the time they were through the palace gates. The servants looked at her in confusion, but none of them said anything as Kaias picked her up. He barked out orders, using words she didn’t know. The servants bowed their heads and hurried to work.
 
 “I can walk.”
 
 “And I can carry you.”
 
 “Kaias.”
 
 He hummed in response. “I am Lord Kaias.”
 
 “I have no lords where I’m from,”Olivia sighed. Kaias jostled her in his arms, causing her to squeal. She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. “I will not call you Lord.”
 
 ”Hmmm,”Kaias walked up the stairs into the residential floor of the palace. He carried her down the hall towards his rooms. “If you are to call me Kaias, it will be only for me. No other ears will hear my name from your lips. Not without the Lord.”
 
 He opened the door into his room and kicked the door closed behind him. Olivia’s attention moved away from him as shelooked at the room. The spacious environment was beautiful. With a full panoramic view of the city from a balcony on one side, all she could do was gasp.
 
 Kaias lowered her onto his bed. Her skin slid across the silk covers like butter. Olivia pushed herself up on her elbows, only for Kaias to grip her collarbone. His thumb rubbed tentatively in the valley between her shoulder and collar. A bone spur scraped across her skin, deadly and exhilarating.
 
 “I might do what you say.”She couldn’t help challenging him.
 
 Kaias snorted. His dark eyes flashed with necessity. He lowered his face, grazing his lips against her throat. Olivia’s breath hitched up as Kaias held her throat with his mouth. His teeth nipped at her skin.
 
 “You will.”He whispered as his hands traveled down her robes.
 
 Olivia gasped out. She wanted to give in to him. She tried to fight back. The warring emotions inside her raged as he gripped her wrists with one hand and let the other open the silk.
 
 Kaias nipped away from her collarbone, tasting the soft skin of her breasts. Olivia groaned as his mouth found purchase on a nipple and sucked. She struggled to free her hands to touch him, but he tightened his hold.
 
 “Make me,”she panted out.
 
 Kaias laughed. It rumbled through the room, shaking into her body. Her heart raced with desire as his hand found the knots of her waistband. With a few flicks of his wrist, he freed the silk from her, exposing her body to the heat.
 
 Kaias slid his hand down her waist to her sensitive area. He slowly rolled his fingers on her bud, taking his time to explore her body and the different ways he could get her to react. His knuckle spurs scraped against her inner thigh, sending electric chills up.
 
 Olivia closed her eyes. She groaned, trying hard to push back the growing need and desire Kaias elicited. The man rolled his fingers, slow, then fast, and slow again. The motion was maddening.
 
 Kaias moved from one breast to the next, taking his time exploring her nipple with his tongue and teeth. Olivia bucked up, causing his knuckle spurs to cut into her skin. She paused for a moment, but the pain subsided into pleasure.
