JADE

I moan as he enters me, my body's lubrication easing his way, my channel stretching to accommodate his alien size.

A low growl escapes from his throat as he pushes forward, filling me completely. The sensation is both overwhelming and utterly perfect.

"You feel so good." He stills inside of me, his voice thick with emotion. "I cannot believe you are finally mine."

"Believe it." I reach up and caress his face, my fingers tracing the strong lines of his jaw. "I've always been yours, Zeleck. It just took me a while to realize it."

The heat of his skin against mine, the weight of him pressing me into the soft furs—it's a moment I want to remember forever.

Zeleck begins to move, his hips rocking against mine in a rhythm that feels both new and familiar. I wrap my legs around his waist and move with him, our bodies in perfect sync, as if we've done this dance a thousand times before. Each thrust sends waves of pleasure coursing through me, building and cresting like the tide.

I savor the feeling of him inside me. The joining of our bodies is more than just physical pleasure; it's a spiritual feeling that makes me realize I do have faith.

Faith in us and our love.

Faith that Rakuium will make our lives better, safer.

"You are so beautiful, my Jay-duh," he murmurs, his lips brushing against my ear even as he continues fucking me with the slow and steady thrusts that are driving me wild.

His scent envelops me, and I breathe him in, letting his musky essence fill my lungs. I taste his skin as I press open-mouthed kisses along his neck and shoulder, lost in the sensations of our lovemaking.

The coil within me winds tighter and tighter, my pleasure mounting with each passing second. I arch into him, chasing release, even as Zeleck's thrusts become more urgent, more purposeful. He drives me closer to the edge. Closer, closer .

"Let go, my love." He slips his hand between our bodies to circle my clit. "I want to feel you shatter."

With a blinding burst of ecstasy, I do shatter, my release washing over me in magnificent waves. He follows me over the precipice, his own climax hitting him hard. I feel the warmth of his seed flooding my channel as he pulses inside me.

It is a primal claiming that leaves no doubt that I am his, and he is mine.

"I love you," he breathes against the top of my head, collapsing on the furs and tucking me in beside him.

"I love you, too."

As we catch our breath, I rest in Zeleck's arms, savoring the afterglow of our super-hot sex. That's when I remember something. The Rakuis don't believe in penetrative sex before mating.

"This was your first time, wasn't it?"

"It was." He flashes a cocky grin. "I am a natural."

That makes me giggle. "Yes. Yes, you are."

I settle down against him, his skin warm against mine, the beat of his heart steady beneath my cheek. I have never felt so complete, so content. I want to hold on to this feeling forever.

"Jade," Zeleck murmurs, his fingers tracing lazy patterns on my back. "What do you want to do with the rest of the Rakuium?"

"I want to do an experiment."

He lifts his head to look at me. "An experiment?"

"Yep." I give him a quick kiss before he puts his head back down. "I want to gather all the Terrans and pass the remaining pieces around to see who they speak to."

"You wish to let the Rakuium stones choose a female to protect?"

"Exactly. And once the Rakuium chooses, I want you to make pendants like mine for the Terrans to wear."

"I can do that," he agrees. "There will not be enough pieces to protect every female."

"I know. I guess that means we'll need to go on another quest."

Zeleck kisses the top of my head. "Only this time as mates. I cannot wait to lick your cunt again in our favorite place on this godsforsaken planet."

I giggle again, and I'm not a giggler. Must be all the happy sex hormones. "It's god, not gods."

"You say god, I say gods." After a while he says, "Has the box on your wrist told you if we made a kit yet? The mated Rakuis tell me that is how you will know."

It takes me a second to realize he's talking about my TEASE. I tap the small screen, but nothing has changed. "Not yet. Are you disappointed?"

"Not at all." He rolls over onto his back and pulls me with him so I'm straddling his hips. "That just means we have to keep trying until we do."

I smile at him, my heart so full of love and happiness that I wonder if I'll burst. "I like the sound of that," I say, leaning down for a kiss before giving him the ride of his life.
