Page 16 of Balarr
She quickly reached a decision, and she drew in a long breath as she held his luminous green gaze.She couldn’t be sure, but she thought she detected a hint of worry in his eyes.Was he worried she was going to reject him?Or was he just anxious about her answer—clearly, he wanted to claim her now… even if he had promised to be patient and allow her to take as much time as she needed.
“I’m ready,” she blurted.“I-I want to mate with you, Balarr.Right now.”She stepped back, just a small step, and allowed the towel to move a bit lower on her body.She didn’t quite reveal her breasts to him, but she gave him a view of her cleavage.
His nostrils flared, then an appreciative growl sounded in his throat.Her clit pulsed in response to that growl, and her breath hitched.
Anticipation coursed through her, along with a wave of uncertainty.She didn’t regret giving Balarr her agreement—she just couldn’t help but feel a tad shy.She’d never even kissed a man before.She didn’t know where to start.Should she touch him first?Should she initiate a kiss?
She found herself wishing he would take charge and guide her, though she wasn’t brave enough to admit this aloud.She prayed he would read her cues and take the lead.
To her utter relief, his eyes gleamed with heat, and he gathered her closer and caressed his large, warm hands through her hair.He leaned down and peered at her intently, his eyes holding a definite glow of happiness.
“I am pleased that you want to mate with me right now, sweet Luna,” he finally said, his voice deep and rumbling, a steady vibration that brought her comfort.“I know this is your first time, and I promise I’ll be gentle with you.But if you need me to slow down or stop for any reason, please tell me.I want you to feel entirely safe with me, and I don’t want to hurt you.”
“Thank you for promising to be gentle, Balarr.But yes, if I need you to slow down or stop, I’ll let you know.”Her face flamed and a heated wave rolled through her.“Um, is there anything we need to do first?To make our mating official?I thought I heard something—perhaps it was in one of the VAMOB commercials—about Vaxxlian mating vows.”
He nodded slowly, his gaze never leaving hers.“Yes, Luna, before I claim you, we must exchange the traditional mating vows of my people.Don’t worry—I’ll let you know when the time is right for us to say the sacred words.First, however, I think I’d like to kiss you.Would that be acceptable to you?”Though his voice remained thick with desire, there was a formal note to his question, and she found his overly polite demeanor utterly charming.
“Yes, Balarr.You may kiss me.”
He leaned down and captured her lips with his.
Chapter9
Balarr couldn’t get enoughof the sweet human.He held Luna tight as he continued kissing her, delving his tongue inside her mouth to tangle with hers.He savored the little whimpers and moans she made, and he especially loved it when her hips jolted forward, causing her stomach to press more firmly against his stiff length.
He was throbbing to be inside her.A mental image of her bent over the bed, her slick pink folds on display, as he prepared to mount her, flashed in his mind.
But he quickly resolved that he couldn’t claim her from behind during their first time together.He supposed they should be face-to-face, staring into one another’s eyes as they repeated the mating vows of his people just before he sank his rigid cock into her pussy.
He reminded himself that they would have many years together—the rest of their lives—and plenty of opportunity to explore a variety of positions.
Tenderness swelled inside him as he deepened the kiss, causing her to moan into his mouth.His cock throbbed harder, and his blood heated.He burned for her—ached to claim her with every fiber of his being.
He quickly decided to push all remaining thoughts of the past aside and focus on the present—focus on Luna.She was about to become his mate, and it wouldn’t be fair to her if he harbored thoughts of another female while they exchanged their mating vows and physically consummated their union.
Balarr withdrew from the kiss and peered down at Luna.A pretty blush stained her cheeks, and her eyes were heated with desire.She was so beautiful, the sight of her took his breath away, and not for the first time.He’d been just as stunned by her beauty when he’d laid eyes on her in the hospital room.
He gave a low growl, then swept her into his arms and carried her to the large bed.He gently placed her down atop the covers, and when he noticed goosebumps on her arms and legs, he called out a verbal command for the computer to increase the temperature in his quarters.
She glanced at the ceiling as a slight hum filled the air, and the room became noticeably warmer—too warm for his tastes, but he would adapt.
She shot him a grateful look.“Thank you, Balarr.That was very thoughtful of you.”
The tips of his ears grew hot, and not because of the increased temperature in the room.It was because of the sweet way she was thanking him, and the look of gratitude she’d directed his way.It made him want to do more nice things for her.It made him want to give her the universe.
“You’re quite welcome, sweet Luna,” he said, tired of trying to stop himself from using the endearment.He liked saying it, and he suspected she liked hearing it.Maybe he shouldn’t overthink things.Maybe he should allow his instincts to guide him.
As she sat up slightly, her towel came undone, opening to reveal her breasts, as well as the sweetness between her thighs.Fluxx.Balarr stood next to the bed, staring down at her, admiring her beauty.
Her skin was smooth and pale compared to his, and he already knew how soft she was.He imagined stroking a hand up her inner thighs and a fresh wave of anticipation rushed over him, causing his scrotum to tense and his cock to lurch in his pants.
Another growl tore from his throat.Thankfully, Luna had gotten used to his growls.
Luna gasped and glanced down at her naked body.She reached for the towel, as though intending to cover herself back up, only to pause and glance at Balarr with a questioning look.Her hands trembled, and her chest started rising and falling more quickly, which of course only drew his gaze more intently to her bosom.
He longed to take one of her peaked nipples into his mouth and suckle until she moaned and writhed against him.He also wanted to tease those little buds with his teeth, perhaps give a good tug, though not hard enough to cause her any pain.
At last, Luna returned her trembling hands to her sides, and she allowed herself to remain uncovered.She lifted her chin a bit, and he thought he saw a spark of challenge in her eyes.It made his cock sofluxxinghard.
