Koha’vek looked at me with the utmost tenderness as he raised both hands to stroke my hair from the top of my head and down the sides. His touch was light, and his eyes looked reverent as he stared into mine. He ran his hands down overmy shoulders and my arms, taking both my hands into his. Kissing my forehead, he led me into our nest room.
As we stopped beside our bed of furs, Koha’vek didn’t wait for me to undress. He reached for my blouse and methodically unfastened the buttons. It was an ordinary thing that became a slow, sensual process the way he did it. Once unbuttoned, he pushed the garment off over my shoulders and down my arms in a long, caressing motion from my shoulders to my hands.
The blouse dropped to the floor, and he leaned down to kiss my neck, where it met my shoulder.Every touch and kiss sent surges of need through my body. His simple touches were almost more arousing than the direct stimulation of my breasts or pussy.
There was, however, no hurry. I was existing in the moment, basking in every caress. When his fingers went to my breast wrap knot, my nipples throbbed even more intensely. I was already wet for him before he did anything overtly sexual.
Koha’vek deftly unwrapped my breasts and dropped the wrap on top of my blouse. Then, he went to his knees and relieved me of my pants. Standing naked before him, I felt as though every nerve in my body was on alert, craving his touch.
He gently gripped my waist, pulling me closer so he could take my aching nipple into his mouth.I moaned a sigh at the sheer pleasure as he began sucking on it while I started caressing the ridges and hornlike points on his head. Delightful sensations rushed straight to my clit, and I had my first orgasm before he even laid me down.
With my first shudder, Koha’vek cupped my mons and pressed his hand against my clit to enhance my climax. I was weak-kneed by the time it finished, and he lowered me to the furs then stood to remove his pants.
I smiled up at him, further aroused by the dark, possessive way he looked at my body.Spreading my legs, I drew up my knees, and Koha’vek came down on his knees between them. His cock was extruded fully erect, and I was eager to have it inside me.
Lying over me with his weight on one forearm, he used his other hand to guide his cock into my entrance. Once we were joined, I was no longer in any hurry to orgasm again. The scent of pine and rosemary wafted between us while we kissed and caressed.
Koha’vek thrusted in and out of me intermittently with slow, deep strokes so I felt every inch of him. Neither of us was in any hurry to reach orgasm.Just being together in the moment, savoring our intimacy. He was mine, and I was his.
Some would see him as the monster I first saw, but now I saw only the male that I loved. Lastly, he laced his fingers through mine and held them against the furs. We looked into each other’s eyes as he fucked me slowly for what seemed like hours. By the time he poured his essence deep into my womb and took me to ecstasy with him, I felt like I was floating.I gasped his name and arched against him, loving the feel of him on me and in me.
I prayed silently to myself that they wouldn’t take him from me. It hurt too much to imagine continuing my life without him.
Chapter Fifteen
Raven
As soon as I landed the sky cycle in front of our house, I looked up and saw Hannah come out onto our porch. It was such a nice day that I rode in without engaging the cockpit. She ran and jumped into my arms the moment I stepped onto the porch. I’d left before dawn and returned an hour later than I planned.
But this trip had been more fruitful than I had expected. There were things I needed to tell Hannah about that night we took Jenkins into custody. However, at that moment, I was relishing our reunion as I held her and kissed her thoroughly. I knew it would be a while before we talked as I carried her into the house and into our bedroom.
We finally talked sometime afterward while having a late lunch at the kitchen table.
“I need to tell you some things, but you can’t tell anyone until this all plays out. People’s safety depends on it. Can I trust you on that?”
Her expression told me I’d hurt her by asking the question. “I’m sorry, but you can’t even tell Zach or Grace, and especially not any other cyborgs.”
“Now, you’ve got me worried. What’s going on?”
“The night I rescued you from Jenkins, you started to tell me that you had seen something. Then you said it was nothing. It wasn’t nothing.”
Hannah’s eyes widened with the realization as she remembered what she had seen and tried to forget. “That thing was real?”
“He is very real, and he is Mesaarkan,” I stated.
“You mean one of the aliens who bombed Earth at the beginning of the war?”
“He is one of that species, but he did not take part in that part of the war. In fact, he is a deserter who believes that what his people did to Earth was wrong and way out of proportion to what was done to his people on a distant planet by a small group of humans. His name is Koha’vek, and he went behind the scenes and neutralized many of the guards at Jenkins’s Wexley estate while I broke in. He saved me a lot of trouble. He did it because Jenkins had stolen his human mate’s ranch.”
Hannah frowned. “I thought he was a monster,” she said softly and cringed.
“Some of them are monsters,” I admitted. “Not Koha’vek. He is a good male, and he wants to stay on Earth with his human mate. It’s clear they love each other. Because he is Mesaarkan, I’m supposed to arrest him and have him deported from Earth. If I do that, it could be a death sentence for him, and it would take him away from his female, who hasn’t done anything wrong.”
“So, what are you going to do? Will you get into trouble for this?” she asked, worried.
“I might lose my job. Then today I discovered he’s not the only one. There’s a whole colony of about 40 Mesaarkans that I could count, many of whom have human mates, in an isolated basin deep within the mountains. And they all want to stay there and live in peace.”
Hannah shook her head with a slight smile, reaching across the table to take my hand. “You’re going to help them, aren’t you?”
