“Giveme a few more tics,Rowan.Iwill be up presently.”

Hismumbled words are barely discernable.Desperately,Iwrack my brain, trying to remember everythingKallensaid about how this mate bond works for his species, butIcan’t.Panickingis making it worse, andIdon’t know what to do, butIknow whereIcan get answers.Jumpingdown from the bed,Isprint to the door, pausing only long enough for it to open.

Runningdown the hallway,Istop in front of whatIhope isKallen’sroom and start rapidly knocking on it.Itmust be super early, because no one else seems to be up and about yet.AscowlingRuarcopens the door, andIflinch away from his intimidating countenance.Ihaven’t actually met him yet, soI’mnot sure what kind of receptionI’mgoing to get.

“Ineed to talk toKallen, please.It’sextremely important!”

Kallenmust hear me because she appears besideRuarcbeforeIstop talking. “Greetings,Rowan.Whatis so important that you are here so early in the rotation?”

“It’sEinar!He’sextremely lethargic and the mark around his neck has faded so much you can barely see it!Canyou tell me what’s wrong with him?”

Herface fills with concern and just as she opens her mouth to explain,Ruarccuts her off with a vicious snarl.

“Heis dying, you spoiled little bychit.Ifhis mating collar has faded and he is that lethargic, then he has one rotation, maybe two, at the most left.Itis the mating sickness but does not normally hit a male this fast.”

Kallen’sgasp tells me whatever he just called me isnotnice.Ruarcshoots her a quelling glance before continuing.

“Einarwarned all of us that you are damaged and were not to be pressured into anything.Thatit was to be your choice, and your choice alone whether or not to seal the mate bond with him.Well, guess what?WeareALLdamaged in one way or another.Youare not special because you have suffered.Doyou think, after hearing how we came to be on this ship, that we have not endured much?Einarmay see a beloved mate when he looks at you, one that should be cherished above all else, evenhis own fracking life.Isee nothing but a cowardly little bychit, too fracking scared to take hold of the gift, and the second chance at love that the gods ofRukhave given you.”

Withthat, he grabs a furious lookingKallenand shuts the door in my face.

Indignationwars with terror.Ruarcis the first person to lay me out like that after my escape fromRobert.Heisn’t wrong, though.

Einarand his brothershavesuffered.

Irefuse to feel guilty for taking my time to get to knowEinarthe last couple of days becauseIneededthat regardless of whatRuarcthinks, butEinarshouldn’t die just becauseI’mscared shitless of having sex.RubyandSlavichave been going at it like horny teenagers, so we have to be compatible.It’sjust …Einaris quite a bit bigger thanSlavic, even thoughRubyandIare about the same size.

Themain door to our bedroom is in front of me, butIdon’t remember walking back.Pressingmy palm to the pad, likeEinarshowed me,Istep into our room and shut the door behind me.Einarhasn’t moved an inch sinceI’vebeen gone.He’sstill on his back in the middle of the bed, with one arm thrown over his eyes.

Well, here goes nothing.

Determinationfills me asItake a deep breath and whip my nightgown off over my head before climbing back up on the bed.Pullingthe blankets down to his shins to get them out of the way,Iunlace the front of his sleep shorts enough to pull his cock out.Myeyes widen at how huge he is even soft andIcan’t see how that is going to fit inside me once he’s fully erect.Takinghim in hand,Ilift his dick and start massaging his balls and watch as he rapidly hardens.Adeep rumble tells me that whatI’mdoing feels good to him.

Iguess knowing my way around a cock and balls is a bonus right now.

Okay, well, he’s hard, butI’mnot wet andIwould rather not tear.Beenthere and do not want a repeat.Crawlingup the bed,Iease his arm off his face and lean down to whisper in his ear.

“Einar, honey.Iwant you to use your mouth to make me feel good again.”

Mybreathy demand prods him enough to open his eyes, but they’re hazy and unfocused.

“Youknow you need only ask.”

Heattempts to get up, andIpress my hands to his shoulders.

“Let’stry something a little different.Youstay right there, andI’llcome to you.”

Swinginga leg over,Istraddle his face and only flinch a little when his hands grab me by the hips, jerking my pussy down onto his face.Unlikethe last two times,Einarlacks any amount of finesse as he tongues me.Thisis pure instinctual hunger, and it doesn’t take long for him to bring me to the brink, my body hungry for the pleasure only he is allowed to give it.Moaning,Icome all over his face.Hisgrip on my hips prevents me from escaping when my clit becomes overly sensitive.

Heforces a second orgasm from me.

Anda third.

Bythe time he builds me to a fourth,I’mnothing but a panting mess clinging to his horns for dear life as the pleasure bursts across my nerve endings.WhatIdo know is that between his slick spittle and my own fluids,I’mabsolutely drenched.Ican’t possibly get any wetter, soIneed to figure out how to get my slot b, in line with his tab a.

“Einar, don’t you want to claim me?Iwant you to fill me and seal our bond, mate.”

Mysultry words do the trick, and he releases my hips.Again, he makes to get up, andIlay on the sugar.
