Epilogue

Eight suns cycles later.

Renowlf

I rise expectantly when Mia enters our quarters, my muscles taut with tension. "What did Gantok say?"

"You were right." She grins and places her hand on her abdomen. "You've put an orc baby in my belly."

Rushing forward, I sweep her into my arms and twirl her around the sitting room, her joyous laughter filling the space. "I knew I could smell the delicious changes within your body, savor them on my tongue."

She nuzzles my neck and nips at my ear. "Keep up the dirty talk, Ren, and you might need to take me back to bed before getting on with your day."

"There is no ‘might' about it." Even though I emptied my seed inside of her when we woke, my cockspikes emerge and fill at her suggestion. "This is cause to celebrate."

I carry her to the bed chamber and she kicks off her boots so I can strip the pants Agavar made down her legs. She spreads her legs for me and I bury my face between them. My insatiable queen is already wet with arousal, and I easily bring her to climax, drinking deeply of her sweet nectar.

With her hair splayed out on the bed and a rosy, orgasmic flush to her cheeks, she could not look more beautiful.

"My God, you're good at that," she tells me, and my chest swells with pride. Praise for pleasing my mate is a heady feeling. She pulls me toward her for a kiss. "How did I get so lucky?"

"I am the lucky one, Mia." I say, branding her with the heat of my lips, then pull away to discard my loincloth. My cock springs free, hard and throbbing for her.

Mia licks her lips. "Fill me, my king," she purrs, reaching for me. "Give me your spikes."

I growl with need and settle between her thighs, plunging my cock into her slick cunt. My mate is not the only one who enjoys what she calls dirty talk.

"Oh, yeah, that's what I'm talking about." Mia runs her hands over my chest, nails lightly raking across my skin. "You"re so strong, Ren…so virile…so fucking sexy." She moans when I find my thrusting rhythm, dragging my spikes in and out of her tight channel. "It's no wonder you knocked me up so fast."

We have spent every night since her coronation mating until the wee hours of the morning. I would be surprised if she had not conceived by now. "Does Gantok know if you carry a male or female babe?"

She laughs. "We won't know the sex of the baby for a while yet. Do you hope it's a boy?"

I shake my head. "All I care about is the health of the babe—and the health of its mother. I love you, Mia. I cannot wait to see you heavy with child…to feel the kicks of our babe in your belly."

"I love you, too, Ren. So much." Mia lifts her hips to meet mine and flashes a seductive smile. "Now, how about less talking and more fucking?"

My heart swells at my great fortune of finding such a lusty mate. I am truly blessed—and all too eager to obey.

Many hours later, I can no longer ignore the incessant chiming of my communicator. Sensing that duty calls, Mia wraps her arms around my waist. "I know you have king stuff to do, but this is nice. I don't want you to leave."

I, too, do not want to leave. "Let me retrieve my communicator and I will return to the bed."

That placates my mate who dozes beside me as I reply to several messages of varying urgency. One message, however, requires more than a written reply. The missive from King Dexari is short and to the point:

Renowlf: I have found one of the human females from Earth. Call me, Dexari.

I press the vid call button and Dexari's face fills my small screen.

"Renowlf," he says in greeting. "I take it you received my message."

"I did. And my queen will be happy to hear the news."

Mia stirs beside me. "Who are you talking to?"

"King Dexari. He found one of the human females."

She abruptly sits up, covering her ample chest with the bed covers, and leans over to peer at my screen.

Dexari grins. "It appears you are busy, Renowlf. Would you like to call me back when you are not otherwise…occupied?"

Mia answers before I do. "No, it's okay. He can talk now. What is the female's name and when can we come get her?"

"Her name is Sloane, and she is not available to travel at this time." Dexari's brow furrows, his teasing tone gone.

"Why not?" Mia questions.

"She is currently under house arrest," he says. "She killed one of my guards and severely wounded my second."

"A human female did this?" I ask, incredulous. "She must be much larger than mine."

Dexari shakes his head. "She is just a tiny thing. Yet she is also cunning and fights like the fiercest of warriors." He gets a strange look on his face.

"What are you not telling us, Dex?" I ask.

After a long pause, he says, "My cockspikes have emerged for her, Ren. I do not know whether to punish the human spitfire for her crimes…or take her to my bed."

Thank you for reading The Orc King's Baby.
