“What do you mean?”
His room had one of those mirror walls like mine and with a swipe of his hand and a few other little commands, the wall lit up with images of green and blue rolling hills. Plants. Fields. Bluish-purple skies and oceans of sparkling water. I felt like I was watching a nature documentary of an alien world.
“This is gorgeous,” I said. “I’ve seen this landscape before. “On the wall in my room.”
“It’s Valer,” he said. “A very specific part of Valer, actually.” He walked up and circled a portion in the top right corner. “All this is mine. Well, ours.”
My head snapped toward him. “Excuse me?”
“It was my family’s and since I’m the only Mena’tauve left, it’s mine. Nothing is there yet, but anyone in the military is allowed a personal place of residence. One that isn’t on a base. I’ve decided to make this mine. With you.”
“Are you shitting me?”
He raised his brows at the volume of my voice, but I couldn’t help it. I stepped toward the image and started to zoom in on areas, taking in every exciting detail. The plants. The colors.
“Do you like it?”
Those damn happy tears started to burn in my eyes when I turned back around to look at him.
“This is what you’ve been doing? You’ve been planning this?”
“Among other things.”
“And we can build a house? For us to live in? In this gorgeous place?”
“Yes,” he smiled.
I slapped my hands over my mouth to conceal the squeal of excitement threatening to tear out of me.
“Saleuk, I… Are you serious?”
“I would still be working for the military. I’d still have assignments. Some, I can take you with me, others you won’t be able to come.”
“Yeah.”
“And I would need to teach you to at least pilot a demeran, which can fly you anywhere on-planet.”
“Sure.”
“And you’d need to learn Takesh and maybe—”
I reached up and grabbed the front of his jacket, pulling him down into a kiss.
“We could make you a lab for—” he said against my mouth before I cut him off with another kiss. “The plant life on Valer is—” I kissed him again.
“Saleuk, I appreciate all of this so much, but you’ve gone and made me so crazy for you, I can’t even think.”
He paused, taking a few rugged breaths before returning the kiss with equal passion.
“Take these damn clothes off, Sam,” he growled against my mouth.
I didn’t even hesitate. I stepped away, pulling my shirt over my head, kicking off my boots, and sliding my leggings off. Saleuk’s eyes moved along my body, lingering on my breasts, my stomach, and then the apex of my thighs before he threw off hisfitted uniform shirt and stepped out of his pants. His cock was standing toward his navel, pulsing with need, and my sex was throbbing like it had been neglected for months.
Saleuk slid his hands around to my backside and lifted me off the floor. I clung to him with my legs, my body pressing against the hard length of him as he walked over to my oversized bed. Laying me down gently on the soft sheets, he poured himself over me, reclaiming my mouth with slow, precise strokes of his lips and tongue.
I moaned softly, my hands exploring every inch of his body that I could reach. I basked in the scent of his skin. In the weight of him on top of me and the way his warmth felt against mine.
“I’ve always wanted you to stay with me,” he whispered, the head of his cock notched at my entrance. “If I had to watch you return to Earth, I would truly go mad. I cannot protect you there. I would not be able to touch you. See you.” He began to push forward, sliding his thickness gradually into me. “Feel you.”
