Chapter 21 Zoey

My screams echoed through his shuttle, and I was glad Harb’k had decided to bring me back here instead of fucking me up against the walls in the showers. The entire base would’ve heard. Even now, I wasn’t sure they couldn’t hear me all the way in the building.

The first section of his cock was thick, and my body resisted, despite being soaking wet for him. Harb’k was huge. I’d marveled at both the size and the shape when I’d touched him, and now I wasn’t sure I could take him. But I also wasn’t a quitter.

I wrapped my legs around his hips, pressing my heels against his firm buttocks, urging him on. I just needed him to start moving. Once he was in and fucking me, I knew it would get better.

I grabbed his horns and gave them a little tug, knowing it would spur him on. He growled, reacting as I’d expected him to, and his hips bucked. I gasped as he sank into me a little more, this time all the way to the last ridge. But this last section was the thickest.

I was already so full I could hardly breathe.

“Please,” I begged. “Don’t stop now.”

“Never. You are mine.”

A thrill shot through me at his words. He bent his head, and I turned to make room for his horns as he buried his face into my neck. He inhaled greedily like he couldn’t get enough of me.

He nipped at my neck, and I yelped. But the slight bite of pain was suddenly overshadowed by more intense sensations because he was moving, stretching me with every roll of his hips. Every movement was slow torture as he penetrated deeper. My whole body was shaking now, threatening to come apart at the seams.

He did not stop until he was fully seated in me. But there was no respite because this was when he succumbed to the primal drive he’d been holding back. With a roar, he started to pump into me.

I thrashed under him, half-sobbing, half-screaming, tossing my head from side to side. It was too much yet also perfectly enough. The flared ridge of his cock hit my G-spot with every thrust, and the only thing I could do was hang on as pleasure tore through me.

That, combined with the press of his pelvis against my clit every time our bodies came together, threw me over the edge. The world exploded around me, and I sobbed out my pleasure.

Harb’k froze above me before a loud roar filled the shuttle.

I closed my eyes and let myself float down, light as a feather, on the cozy cloud of bliss. When I opened them again, Harb’k was lying next to me and carefully arranging the blankets around me to make sure I was super comfortable. Even now, my comfort was his top priority.

I cuddled into his big, brawny chest, feeling the safest and happiest I’d been in a very long time.

“Mmm. This is nice.”

“It is. You will stay in my shuttle from now on.”

I chuckled. Everything felt dream-like, and his declaration gave me the warm fuzzies. “You make it sound so easy.”

“It is. You are never leaving again.”

“And what happens when you go fight that nest they found?” I didn’t mention going to Sanctuary because I wasn’t sure that was where I wanted to set my roots down now.

He made a face. “I’ll make an exception. Stay here where it’s safe. Then, when I return, you shall join me on the shuttle. You will never be alone again.”

I didn’t want to argue with him, not when I was feeling so thoroughly happy. Also, a part of me really liked hearing those words and wanted it to be true. But the logical part of me knew better. People didn’t fall in love and live happily ever after this quickly. It was never this easy.

But damn! Was it ever nice to dream!

Then I realized there was only one pillow, and it was under my head. Harb’k was resting on his own arms.

“Oops. I didn’t mean to steal your pillow.”

“You can use it. I do not need one to sleep. I never had one until I came to Earth.”

That explained why it was blue and had Hot Wheels on it. “What about the blanket? Did you have one before?”

“No. Hunters do not need extra comfort. A thin mat was deemed good enough by our creators.”

Oh. That was kind of sad.

“I have also never had a Zoey in my bed. Now I am spoiled.”

That had me smiling.

“I’ve always wondered what life was like out there. In space, I mean. You’ve been out there, so tell me, what’s it like?”

He didn’t answer at first. And he was so silent that I thought perhaps he wasn’t going to. His answer broke my heart into a million pieces.
