Maxxon

" H ow did I not know about the private plunge pool?" I asked as I submerged myself fully in the warm water.

"You never came out to the terrace," Allie said as she stood on the steps of the small pool that was inset in the teakwood platform over the holographic ocean. She wore a tiny pink bikini that showed off her lush curves and made me want to rip it right off her body.

I knew it was only a holographic projection, but the scent of salt in the air and the faint breeze carrying the sweet aroma of tropical flowers made it seem very real. As long as Allie was real, I didn't care if everything else in my life was made of light and energy.

She glanced around, nibbling her lower lip. "You should be in a swimsuit."

I looked down at myself, fond of the way the water made my impressive size look even more impressive. "No one is watching us." Her cheeks turned a lovely shade of pink. "But would you care if they did? It's not like we're staying on the station."

We'd gotten permission to return to Earth—and Allie's cat, our dog, and her best friend—so I could work with the tribute bride transition and the integration of our two species. The theory we'd floated was that the more happily married, Drexian-human couples the people on Earth saw, the faster and smoother the acceptance of the Drexians would be.

So, after our wedding and a brief honeymoon, we would be saying goodbye to the Boat. Until then, I was going to be enjoying every bit of it—and every bit of my mate.

Allie peered over her shoulder, then let her eyes wander back to me. "You're awful."

I laughed. "Come closer and tell me how bad I am."

She shook her head at me. "We're supposed to have our final wedding planning meeting with Serge and Reina today. They could be here at any time."

I moved quickly, crossing the compact pool and looping one hand around her waist. "Then we'll have to be fast."

"Maxxon!" She swatted my bare chest as I pulled her into the water with me.

Her legs went around my waist, and I instantly thought about the supply closet on the transport ship. "I do like you like this."

She splashed me playfully. "You're incorrigible."

I swiped the water droplets from my face. "I thought I was awful."

"You're both." She gave me what was probably supposed to be a severe look. "And you've gotten me wet."

"That was the plan," I husked, sliding one hand down and under the scrap of fabric barely covering her ass. I slipped my finger under it and teased her opening.

Her pupils flared and she inhaled quickly. "Maxxon…"

"Yes?" I slid my finger inside her, savoring the look that crossed her face and relaxed her features.

She shifted to take me deeper, even as she scolded me and wrapped her arms around my back to rub my nodes. "You're so bad."

Desire arrowed through me at her touch, and I slid a second finger inside. "I thought you liked me to be bad." Then I leaned forward and whispered into her ear. "I thought you liked to be bad for me."

She released a breathy moan and ran her fingers along my firm and flushed nodes. "I'll be whatever you want me to be."

"Mine, cinnara ." I crushed my mouth to hers, and she welcomed my tongue swirling with hers as I moved my fingers inside her. "All mine."

When I tore my lips from hers, she looked dazed with pleasure. " Cinnara ?"

I lifted her so I could capture a nipple through the thin fabric of her bikini top. "My love."

She arched against me. "I like the sound of that, and I like the sound of being called yours."

I sucked one nipple and then moved to the other, shifting my hand so that my thumb brushed her slick nub. I swirled my thumb as her breaths became ragged.

She gasped my name as her legs squeezed around my waist, giving in to the tremors rocking her body as she clenched around my fingers again and again.

Allie dragged in a breath as she sagged against me, her cheek resting on the hard swell of my chest. I lowered her a few inches, and my cock bumped between her ass cheeks.

She lifted her arms and reached behind her head, untying the string at the back of her neck and letting her bathing suit top fall. My mouth went dry at the sight of her breasts spilling out, the beige nipples hard and pebbled.

But instead of succumbing to my embrace again, she wiggled away from me, her legs hitting the bottom of the pool. It took me a beat to recover, but I quickly lunged for her, coiling an arm around her waist. She laughed and caught the edge of the pool, holding on and twisting her head back to give me a wicked grin.

"Running from me?"

She shook her head. "Just playing hard to get."

A laugh rumbled my throat as she faced away from me with my body curled around her from behind. "You are not so hard to get in this position."

She arched her ass into me. "Show me."

Since the pool was on the terrace that extended from the overwater bungalow, it only took a glance either way to see neighboring balconies. The thought that someone might walk out and see my mate with her breasts exposed made my heart race.

"You want me to fuck you from behind out here?" I used one leg to part hers under the water.

She tilted her ass up higher as she spread her legs even wider for me. "Well, you do want every other Drexian to know I'm yours, don't you?"

I wrapped a hand around her and cupped one of her breasts, thumbing the nipple as I guided my cock between her folds. Then with a growl, I thrust into her.

Her breath wooshed out as she took all of me. The water splashed over the side of the pool as Allie moved her hips to meet my thrusts.

I tangled my fingers in her hair with one hand and held her hip with the other, my fingers biting into her skin. Then I dragged my cock out until only the crown was inside her. "You like to be bad, don't you, my good girl?"

She writhed her hips and shot me a hungry look over her shoulder. "You're the one who wants his Drexian brothers to see me getting fucked. Who's the bad one now?"

I let loose a rough laugh. "Why should I be the only one to see how good you take me, how well that your tight little body stretches around my cock?"

As much as I loved to tease her with my words, there was no part of me that would ever share her with another. But I loved to watch her flush with pleasure when I teased her. I slid my hand from her breast to between her legs, savoring the sharp breath when I found her bundle of nerves and started working my finger over it.

She almost instantly started to gasp and wriggle beneath me, her second release fast and hard as her body clamped around my cock. The vise-like pulses made my control shatter, and I pounded into her relentlessly, chasing my own release as water slapped the walls of the pool and sloshed over the side. When I finally exploded inside her, she fell forward with her arms over the edge and my body cocooning hers.

There was nothing but the sound of our heavy breaths and the roiling water, until voices from behind caught my attention. At first, I thought they were coming from another bungalow. Then I realized they weren't.

"You shouldn't just walk in."

"We've waited outside long enough. This is the last meeting before these two walk down the aisle, and there is no time to waste, Reina."

Serge stomped onto the terrace as we both craned our necks. I was still inside Allie, and I was still very naked.

The Gatazoid wedding planner was in head-to-toe yellow, including his shiny platform boots, making him look like a very shocked banana as he stopped and gaped at us, his purple hair flushing pink from the roots.

Reina was in a multicolored form-fitting column dress that meant her footsteps were short and quick as she hurried up behind Serge. "I told you this was a bad idea."

Serge had frozen in place as his mouth opened and closed.

Allie waved at them. "Hey, guys. We didn't hear you at the door."

"Obviously," Serge muttered when he finally regained the ability to speak.

"I can't believe this happened again," Reina said, shaking her head so that her blue hair bobbled. Then she cut a look at the Gatazoid. "Have you learned to swim yet?"

Serge shot her a scathing look, turned on his heels, and stomped away. "I will come back later."

Reina hurried after him, giving a final wave over her shoulder. "Bye now, hons."

Allie wiped her eyes as she laughed. "Later is going to be very awkward."

I twisted back to Allie and started moving inside her again, loving the combination of surprise and delight in her expression. "And it's going to be much, much later."
