CHAPTER 57

THREXIN

K aia Halena's pregnancy made everything simpler. She would remain an annoying needle in Threxin's side, but knowing any attempt at rebellion would endanger her child would deter her from doing anything stupid. He understood humans were very attached to their young, perhaps almost as much as uhyre.

And now his human-kin had even more reason to not fuck everything up. Not only was his beloved female's life on the line, but that of his unborn child.

His Alina had told him they had been worried that Threxin would think the child a threat.

He couldn't imagine why, considering if Orion Halen indeed guided him to the promised planet, who had command of Colossal would no longer matter. And if Orion Halen tried to play tricks and the planet ended up being a lie to delay his doom… Well, then it would not matter because his female and offspring would be the first to die.

He had a feeling Alina Argoud would not enjoy knowing his reasoning, however, so when she tried needlessly to gauge Threxin's reaction to the news of the offspring he simply assured her he did not care without added elaboration.

The jump was days away, and Threxin had bigger things to worry about. Preparations. Threxin's days were growing ever longer. Though he much preferred spending nights in Alina's smaller cabin, he found himself sometimes requiring the additional sampling capability of his own quarters, for last-minute comms and commands to the ship. His Alina did not seem to mind. She dutifully slept wherever he commanded, usually already deep in slumber by the time he came to bed each night. He tried to let her be most nights. Sometimes he woke her to fuck. Sometimes he didn't bother—she would wake on her own once he was inside her.

"You can't just do that," Alina had said sleepily one night when she woke up with him behind her, buried in her cunt.

The protest confused him—she had been leaking her arousal juices before he even entered her, and woke up in the middle of thrusting herself deeper onto his cock. He had felt her mind spark with excitement even before she woke. She wanted it, and he knew it.

"Of course I can."

She scoffed and tried to shimmy out of the way, at which point Threxin firmly clasped his large hand beneath her belly, clamping her tightly to him. "You are mine to mate."

"Yeah, but you need to ask ," she protested even as her cunt clenched more tightly around him and her mind broadcasted its hunger to his own, making his spikes swell and his cock twitch inside her.

Threxin slid his other arm beneath her then, squeezing a plump breast in his large hand as he shoved her flat against his chest completely. His fangs brushed her earlobe, then tugged none-too-gently at the skin before he pressed his mouth to her ear.

"I need to do nothing," he rasped low, shoving himself deeper still in response to the delicious shudder running down her spine. "I know what you want, little human. And you need to shut your small mouth and take it."

He was done with the conversation, which he made clear by rolling them over, pinning her flat on her stomach with her face shoved firmly in her pillow. She did not need to talk to take his cock, and he fucked her thoroughly, eliciting one thrashing orgasm after the next as explicit proof of her body's betrayal.
