“Sorrin,” I say, my voice firm but kind, “you are the bravest warrior I’ve ever seen. I have no doubt you would fight until your last breath to keep me safe.”
And I don’t have any doubt of that. At first, I didn’t understand him. He annoyed me with his confidence. But now I see him for what he truly is—loyal, protective, and honorable. He’d do everything in his power to keep me from being harmed, and that knowledge humbles me.
“But you don’t have to. Not by yourself, at least.” I chuckle self-deprecatingly. “Believe it or not, us humans aren’t completely defenseless.”
A slow grin spreads across his face, melting away the tension. This time, it reaches his eyes, softening the hard gray and igniting the golden flecks in his irises. His gaze turns warm, as if the sunlight hidden within him has finally broken through the clouds.
“I do not doubt that,” he says, his deep voice tinged with laughter. “Humans are far fiercer than I first gave you credit for. And you have your own weapons.”
I arch a brow at him. “Weapons, huh? Like what?”
He grows serious and the smile that was on his face is suddenly gone. The warmth in his eyes grows even more until they look like molten gold. His gaze drops to my lips, and the low simmer of desire that always seems to plague me around him arrows straight down to my center.
“Your ability to captivate,” he murmurs, his voice rough, edged with hunger. “Your kiss. Your taste…”
His words trail off, and I can’t take it anymore. My heart pounds as if it’s trying to break free, and before I can think about it, we’re moving toward each other. The moment our lips meet, it’s like a spark igniting dry kindling. The kiss is wild and unrestrained, his wide mouth pressing against mine with a desperate need that steals my breath.
A moan slips from me as I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. His hands move to my waist, warm and large, grounding me even as the rest of the world spins out of control. When his tongue sweeps into my mouth, I gasp as the rough nubs massage against me and the memory of how that appendage felt against my clit returns to me. My body aches with need, and I can feel the wetness already gathering between my thighs.
The air around us feels charged, and every stroke of his tongue, every nibble of his lips against mine, only serves to fan the flames higher. I’ve never felt anything like this—this raw, untamed connection that exists between us and that sets every nerve ending alight. It’s almost too much, but not enough at the same time.
With a whimper, I move and straddle him, my legs going on either side of his hips and press as close to him as I can get until not a single inch separates us. A shiver runs down my spine as my beaded nipples drag over the thick ridges on his chest. Sorrin’s hips jerk against me and a growl rumbles through him, vibrating against my sensitive flesh and sending a surge of hot desire through my veins.
That’s when I feel it.
Based on the overall large size of Sorrin, I expected his dick to be equally as big, but holy shit, this feels huge.Gargantuan, even. And it feels like there’s something a little extra going on down there. Maybe those nubs also…
That thought is stopped when his remarkable tongue tangles with mine and I don’t care anymore. I don’t care if I’m about to get laid by an alien with an equally alien cock, I just want the raging fire that is spreading through me to be quenched.
I want this crazy, goofy, annoyingly self-assured, strong, loyal, fierce warrior more than I’ve ever wanted anyone or anything in my life. I need him. Now. One thing I’ve learned is that life is never a guarantee. I promised myself I’d stop playing it safe and actually enjoy life. And right now, I can’t think of a better way to enjoy it than showing this amazing warrior exactly how much I want him.
I tear my mouth from his and before either of us can even speak, I reach down to the hem of the supple leather of my shirt and drag it over my head, tossing it aside behind me.
Sorrin’s face is hard with need as his fiery gaze trails over the hot pink bra covering my breasts. One long finger rises to softly trace over the fabric causing goosebumps to rise on my skin. A shiver goes down my spine as he grows bolder, swiping his thumbs over the hardened beads of my nipples visible through the material.
He releases a deep breath. “I wondered what this was for.” His gaze moves up to meet mine. “Now, I see. It is a weapon.”
Well, that wasn’t what I was expecting at all. Leave it to him to make me laugh when we’re about to get down and dirty.
I snort out a laugh of disbelief. “A weapon?”
His eyes twinkle with amusement as he nods his head and says, “Yes, you have slayed me with it. Brought me to my knees with this bright piece of fabric.”
I roll my eyes at him, but I can’t suppress the grin that spreads across my face. “You’re ridiculous,” I say, but there’s warmth in my voice, a teasing lilt. “But how about we do a little less talking, huh?”
Reaching behind my back, I unfasten the hooks on my bra and toss it away.
As soon as my breasts are free, the grin on Sorrin’s face turns into something more predatory, almost wolfish as all his concentration is focused on my chest. If I thought his gaze was heated before, it’s nothing compared to now. The gold in his eyes has expanded until the gray is completely burned up in a blazing inferno.
He reaches up and cups my breasts almost reverently as if he’s handling something precious and rare. Considering all of the Laediriian females died out a long time ago and this is his first time seeing boobs, I guess they are exactly that to him.
His breath puffs out in a long stutter, fanning against my overheated skin.
“My eyes are up here,” I quip teasingly and his gaze jerks up to meet mine, startled at my words.
I don’t know why I’m joking, now. I’ve certainly never been the playful type when it comes to sex, but Sorrin brings out that side in me.
“And they are more beautiful than anything I have ever seen,” he replies, his voice low and filled with awe. “Like twin stars illuminating the darkness.”
