He grabbed onto her hips again the next time she lifted up and while he thrust up toward her body, he forced her down, slamming into her. He repeated the action several more times, growling each time his cock slammed into her. Finally she opened her eyes and simply stared into his eyes as her body began to seize around his. But even then, he didn’t stop pulling her down as he thrust up. As his body began to shiver, her nipples tightened, and not only pulled her down onto his cock, he pulled her forward, forcing her clit, mounted further down than a human’s to ride along the length of his shaft, from one end to the other. After the first contact with her clit, she screamed and froze, her pussy working his shaft as it tried to force him to flood her with the only thing that her body recognized as a mark of mating — his semen. It needed to be inside her in every way that it could. And she was successful. He gritted his teeth, snarling as he held down, pressed against him, his cock buried deep inside her, as he watched her reach an ecstasy he’d only ever dreamed of until this night. He’d had no idea claiming your Ehlealah, and being claimed by her, could be like this. Her body finally seemed to reach its pinnacle and she collapsed toward him.

Zahn caught her in his arms and held her close, kissing any part of her he could reach as she struggled to catch her breath. He continued to hold her, as they simply sat in the glory that was the knowledge that they weren’t alone anymore. No matter the relationships they’d thought they’d had before, nothing even came close. They’d finally figured out where and with whom they were meant to be.

“Are you alright?” Au'revele asked, her voice shaky.

“I’m better than I’ve ever been.”

She laughed lightly. “I meant, because you’re not fully healed. Did I hurt you?”

“If you did, please hurt me again,” he said.

Au'revele laughed again, more forcefully this time.

Zahn’s chest rumbled and his eyes focused on her again.

“Again?” she asked.

“I don’t know how we’ll ever leave this room,” he said.

Au'revele smiled at him. “But when we do, won’t it be nice knowing we’ll always come back to it?”

“I love you, Au'revele.”

“I love you, Zahn. Grouchies and all.”

Chapter 31

Rokai sat in his ship holding his communicator, weighing the options of contacting Bart or not. Chances were he wouldn’t be close enough to get there in time to assist anyway, but then again he might. What he wanted was to make sure that Bart didn’t charge in and ruin any chance of him locating Mirilla. But, if Mirilla was Bart's, then he deserved to be there. And that last thought was the one that won out. If it were Rosalita, he’d be damned if he’d be kept out of rescuing her. He pressed the button.

Almost immediately Bart answered. “Did you find her?!”

“I think so. I’m on my way in now, well, in a few minutes. I have to cloak the ship first, then I’m on my way.”

“Where?” Bart demanded. He was like a crazy man, having lost all sense of control.

“Here’s what I don’t want…”

“Goddamn it, Rokai!”

“I cannot make the demands I get away with making if I look like I’m backed up by the Consortium! I need you to give me time to locate her. Once I do, then come in with both barrels blazing. Hey, what does that mean anyway? Why would you set barrels on fire before you destroy something or someone?”

“It’s guns, Rokai. The barrel of the gun. Both barrels blazing!”

“Ohhh, see I’d have never thought that. We don’t use such rudimentary weaponry. Lasers, blasters. Plain, old fashioned flames.”

“I’m aware, Rokai. That’s exactly what the Consortium uses. It’s just a saying left over from a long, long time ago.”

“So, when I find her, what are you going to do if she won’t have you?”

“Spend my life begging, most likely. But she’ll be safe to refuse me repeatedly. I’ll never leave her unprotected again.”

“You know, I like Mirilla. She was always kind to me. Even when I was an ass.”

“It’s possible you’re still an ass.”

“I don’t want her to have to do anything she doesn’t want to do, Bart.”

“Neither do I, Rokai. At this point in time, I just want her safe. I’m really afraid she’s not.”
