T he shock of Allie's lips pressed to mine wore off within moments, and I gave myself over to the feel of her and the taste of her. Blood pounded in my ears as I curled one arm around the small of her back and pressed her body to mine, savoring the quick intake of her breath.

I should stop, I knew I should. I had not been sent to Earth to seduce a female of my own. I had not been tasked to find my own mate. And I had no right to claim a woman when I would have to leave her behind.

There was no provision in my job that would allow me to take one of the women from Earth as my own. If that was allowed, every Drexian would sign up to be a procurer and would only search for their own mate. No, the task of sourcing the tribute brides from Earth was one I took seriously. I had never even come close to slipping—until now.

Allie moaned into my mouth as I parted her lips with my tongue, and my cock thickened in response. Her body arched against mine, the swell of her soft breasts pressing against my chest and sending fierce heat arrowing through me. I tangled my tongue with hers, loving the way she teased me with hers, pulling back and then stroking forward.

I ran both of my hands down her back until I reached her ass. Then I slid my hands under her and hoisted her up and over so that she was sitting on top of me, her knees straddling my waist. She broke our kiss just long enough to meet my eyes, her gaze molten and her chest heaving.

"Do you want to stop?" I asked, even though I was afraid that my body would implode if she said yes.

She shook her head, biting the edge of her plump bottom lip. "The world might be ending. Why shouldn't we take all the happiness we can?"

I hoped she was wrong, and her world was not ending. I hoped my Drexian brothers were beating back the Kronock. But I also hoped that I could stay in this cavern with Allie forever. I'd never felt as comfortable and at the same time as exhilarated by a female before. "And if it doesn't end?"

Her laugh was husky and sent desire skittering down my spine. "Then we'll both have had the best alien invasion ever. But do you want to take that chance?"

When she put it like that, it was impossible to remember any of the logical reasons why I should resist. Suddenly, my Drexian duty was slipping away, my devotion to my job was evaporating, and my worry that this would be a mistake I could not undo vanished like smoke in a storm.

She grabbed the sides of my shirt and jerked me toward her. "So, are we going to talk or are we going to fuck?"

Her words were like a jolt of electricity, both shocking and thrilling me. I ran one hand through the back of her hair, curling my fingers in it and jerking her mouth to mine in answer. I was no longer kissing her gently and with curiosity. I was ravaging her mouth, my tongue plundering and taking.

Allie did not shrink away. She scraped her hands roughly through my hair, her nails scoring my flesh and bringing a sharp sting that only made me need more. Rocking forward, she ground herself against my cock, which was hard and aching to be released.

Without tearing her lips from mine, she slid her hands from my hair down my shoulders and then my chest, dragging her fingers along my hard muscles. When she reached the waistband of my pants, she did not bother with the fastening. Instead, she slid one hand under the fabric until her fingertips brushed the tip of my cock.

She emitted a breathy gasp, leaning back and pulling her mouth from mine. As we both fought for breath, her eyes flashed desire before she dropped her gaze to her hand in my pants.

My cock was stiff and straining as the tips of her fingers danced over the slick crown, but I still had enough control to grab her wrist in one hand. She flicked her gaze to me as I pulled her arm behind her back and then pulled the other one, until I held both of them with one of my hands to the small of her back.

She wriggled her hands. "What are you doing? Why did you stop me?"

I held them firmly as she struggled to free herself, enjoying every moment of her fruitless wriggling. Without answering her, I used my free hand to rip open her shirt, sending buttons scattering across the rock floor.

She gasped, and her pupils flared so wide they swallowed almost all hint of blue in her eyes. But instead of cowering from me, she arched her back and sent her breasts—which were only covered in sheer, white lace—higher.

Even though I'd never encountered human breasts this intimately, they were not so different from Drexian ones, although Drexian females had three. And Allie's perfect, round breasts were much preferable to the breasts of Kaloren females, whose flesh was covered with tiny suckers. I eyed the soft skin as she thrust herself toward me.

"So greedy," I murmured before setting my mouth onto one full, quivering mound, sucking her light brown nipples through the rough fabric and loving the way the flesh pebbled in my mouth. Once she was panting and moaning, I switched my attention to the other breast.

I was so caught up in the feel of her spongy flesh on my tongue and the keening sounds she made as I sucked her that I didn't notice her pull her hands free. I glanced up as she grabbed my wrists and pulled them high over my head, pressing me back against the rock.

She gave me a wicked smile and shimmied down my body. "Now it's my turn to play."
