“They’re not going to hunt us either,” Koha’vek replied.
I looked up at him. “So, we’re free, but only if no one notices.”
He nodded once. “Invisible freedom.”
I let that sink in for a moment.
It wasn’t what I’d hoped for. No Federation guarantees, just a pretense they didn’t knowabout us. To formally give Koha’vek’s people sanctuary would break the treaty, causing hostilities to resume. Yet, by just leaving us alone, they were giving us the chance to go on with our lives together.
“I think we’ll be safe here, now that Jenkins and his gang have been removed.” I slid my arm around Koha’vek’s waist and leaned into his side. “We’ll be smart and keep to ourselves.”
His gaze fell to mine—those golden eyes always reading deeper than I expected. “Are you sure?”
I nodded. “Nothing has really changed.No one ever bothered you here before I came, and I love what we have here. I love you.”
He exhaled slowly, his breath brushing across my cheek as he drew me into his arms. “I am happy here with you, too.”
Koha’vek lowered his mouth to mine, and I could feel his steady heartbeat against my chest and the bulge of his erection against my belly.
I held on with both arms as our tongues engaged in a sensual dance, making my body tingle with desire. The passion of his kiss conveyed more clearly than words that we were completely in sync.
Our lips parted, and I pressed my face to his chest, breathing in the scent of sun-warmed scales and pine.
He pressed his cheek onto the top of my head. “Shall we go inside and finish this?”
“Yes.” I nodded against his chest. We held each other for a little longer before we parted, and I led the way into the cabin and to our nest.
The room was dimly lit as we stood facing each other. I smiled, admiring his bare chest, and started to undress. My mind knew I should not be attracted to this alien male with his green scales and inhuman yellow eyes with their vertical pupils. Yet, I no longer saw the monster who made me scream in fear at first sight. I saw the man I loved, a man of a different species, handsome and sexy in his own way.
Koha’vek started to undress first, by taking off his heavy boots, so I followed suit, untying the laces on my deer hide moccasins. I pushed them off with my feet, then pulled my handmade tunic off over my head. With only his leather military issue pants left to remove, Koha’vek was already naked when I had just started to work at the knot on my breast wrap.
Stepping forward to help, hishands closed over mine. “May I?”
I nodded, even though I could do it myself. He had once said that it was like unwrapping a gift, which gave him great pleasure. He liked the feel of my breasts in his hands and how he could manipulate them to pleasure me. Soon, the wrap fell to the floor, and he cupped my breasts in his big hands, kneading them against my chest wall.
I swayed forward as delightful sensations shot straight to my clit and made it throb with need. Gripping his upper arms, I turned my face up for his kiss. While he kissed me, his hands found my pants' waist, and he untied the cloth belt that held them up. He pushed them down over my hips so they dropped the rest of the way to the floor. My tie-on panties quickly followed, and I stepped out of them.
Koha’vek’s tail wrapped around me, and he lowered us down to our soft nest of furs together. It seemed he had made it his mission to pleasure me in every way he knew, exploring my body with his mouth and tongue. He lay over me, working his way down my body while I moaned in pleasure, caressing him with my hands where I could.
He trailed kisses and licks up and down both legs before he finally settled between them to lick my pussy. I groaned and mewled in exquisite pleasure when he drew that wickedtongue up through my channel and over my clit. I loved the way he seemed to savor my enjoyment as he took great care to wring out every sigh, every moan, and every wail of satisfaction from me until I could only scream in ecstasy.
Only then did he stop and nurse me through the intense orgasm he had given me. Wiping my juices from his face, he moved back up beside me and took me into his arms, stroking the back of my legs with his finely scaled tail as we lay face to face on our sides. I ran my hands over his upper body, kissing his face and neck.
Feeling his hard cock against my leg, I grasped it and stroked it with my hand. “I’m ready for you to take me now,” I whispered. “Just to be clear, I want you to take me now.”
As I looked into his eyes, the corners of his mouth lifted in a smirk. “As you wish,meora.”
In hardly more than one quick movement, I was on my back with Koha’vek inside me. He felt so good, I sighed my appreciation. He began slowly with firm, deep thrusts that drew me gradually toward another orgasm.
I had learned in our months together that it was how he liked to prolong our joining. It was intensely intimate as he insisted I lookinto his eyes as he fucked me.
Koha’vek took me to the summit again with his slow, deep thrusts. By then, he’d reached the limit of his control, finishing hard and fast, pounding into me until I came and took him over the edge with me.
As we lay knotted afterward, I realized I wasn’t scared of losing him anymore.
I knew we were in good hands with Raven watching our backs. He respected Koha’vek and Veklan. He’d gone out of his way to give us a chance to live our lives in peace.
After a long silence, I said, “I’m glad we have Raven on our side.”
