Page 52 of Brute's Mate

Though we’re alone, Brute doesn’t break character, and I suspect it’s because he thinks there are security cameras on the elevator. He’s probably right.

“You will be mine, human female,” he says in a gruff voice.

I pound my fists on his back. “Put me down, you beast! I don’t want to mate with you. I-I was about to turn myself in! I’m a wanted criminal. There’s a warrant out for my arrest. You need to let me go!” I beam inwardly at my calculated speech.

“I don’t care if you’re a criminal. I will mate with you. I can tell you haven’t received a hormone suppression shot recently. Your scent calls to me. I will rut you over and over and fill you with my seed, and I will thrash you if you disobey me in any way. You aremine.”

The elevator stops and Brute storms off, still carrying me over his shoulder. I’m not certain what floor we’re on, but the ride wasn’t long, so I suspect his quarters reside on one of the upper decks. I glimpse several passersby in the corridors as he carries me toward his temporary quarters. He steps through a door, then carefully places me on my feet.

Gentleness flows through our bond, but I’m taken aback by the heat in his gaze. I’ve never seen his purple eyes glow so brightly. His nostrils flare and he takes a deep inhale. A growl of satisfaction leaves his throat, and he bares his sharp, pointed teeth at me.

Arousal pangs in my core, and I suddenly find myself breathless.

Still keeping one hand on me, he turns quickly to bolt several long pieces of metal across the door. I’m stunned. It looks like he’s rigged some sort of mega-lock on the door to his quarters. There are so many metal pieces across the door, that even if security officers managed to burst the door open, they would encounter the cage-like apparatus.

He meets my eyes. “Rulliannsteel. I got it from the engineers, as it was left over from the materials they brought to fix the worldship. It’s impenetrable. No one is getting in my quarters.” He lowers his mouth to my ear, and his warm breath dances across my earlobe, causing me to shiver as the pulses in my core deepen. “And no one is getting out.”

JENNY

Brute carriesme to the bedroom and immediately strips off my clothes. He meets my eyes as the sound of pounding echoes in from the entryway. Someone is pounding on the door, trying to get in.

“While theRulliannsteel should hold,” he says, “I don’t want to take any chances. I must claim you soon. It needs to happen fast, little female, which means I can’t be gentle. I’ll try not to hurt you, but…” His voice trails off and he casts a brief glance over his shoulder in the direction of the entryway. The pounding has turned to a sharp and steady bang that comes every few seconds, as though something big and heavy is being repeatedly thrust at the door.

“It’s okay.” I lift my chin and try to summon bravery, though inside, I’m quivering with more than a little fear. Brute’s cocks are massive, and he intends to claim me with both appendages at the same time. To fill both my holes. “It’s okay,” I repeat. “Just do it. Quickly. Then message Admiral Tornn and tell him to send the signed letter to Captain Warren. I’ll be safe then. You’ll be safe then.” I inhale a long breath and glance at the massive bed.

Brute’s gaze darkens with lust, and he guides me toward the bed as he begins stripping off his clothes. He slips his boots off, then practically rips his shirt and pants from his body. I stare at him in shock for a few moments. In the alcove, he never got undressed. He’d removed my clothes plenty of times so he could spank or pleasure me, but when it came to me pleasuring him, or rather, me receiving nourishment from him, he’d simply withdrawn his shafts from his pants without actually removing his clothing.

I knew if I stripped off my clothing in the alcove, little female, there would be no going back.I would’ve lost control and claimed you. I would’ve lost control and rutted you against thesurface of the viewscreen.He steps closer, and I swallow past the dryness in my throat as I admire his muscular body.

His entire body is covered in dark, textured skin that almost looks like huge scales, though I know from touching him that he’s definitely not from a reptilian race. He’s as warm-blooded as I am.

The ancestral markings covering his arms glow bright green.

He’s beautiful.

As the steady banging on the door continues, he grabs me and presses a kiss to my lips. It’s anything but gentle, and I soon find myself pushing at his chest as I desperately attempt to get air in my lungs. He pulls back with a savage growl, spins me around, and forces me to bend over the bed.

I gasp and peer over my shoulder, and warmth quakes in my center as I watch him fist his upper cock in one hand. He glances at my pussy, then reaches for a bottle of lubrication that rests on the nightstand. I suck in a shaky breath because ohmygodohmygod this is it.

He’s about to claim me.

He’s about to shove inside my pussy and ass with both his shafts. And he’s promised to leave my orifices dripping with his seed.

He splays my bottom wide apart and trickles the lube down my crevice, then wastes no time in massaging it into my pucker. I try to be obedient and remain in place. The more I cooperate, the sooner this will be over. The sooner I’ll belong to him and we’ll both be safe.

Who knew copulating with an alien would one day save my life?

I think about the fleshy bit of resistance he’s pressed against, a bit painfully, all the times he inserted his fingers in my chasm. My arms tingle, and though I know I should remain in position, they soon itch so badly I can’t help but squirm as I try to scratch my inflamed flesh.

Star Gods, it’s happening. Brute’s astonished voice comes to me, and I finally glance at my right arm. Through the bond, I’m able to sense that’s where he’s staring.

To my utter shock, I’m wearing two ancestral markings on this arm, and as I continue staring, a third one appears. All the marks glow green, and when I glance at Brute’s arms, I realize they’re a perfect match to his. My heart beats faster and happiness reverberates inside me.

Waves of warmth descend from Brute, and I send him affection in return. I also remind him of the pounding on the door and that we shouldn’t delay. He snaps back to the task at hand and finishes rubbing lube into my pucker. I notice he pours a copious amount of the liquid on his upper cock and rubs it in.

He steps closer and the heat of his body wafts over me, grounding me in the moment. He’s so hot, I swear he must be coming down with a fever.You’re going to take both my cocks like an obedient little female, aren’t you?
