“Mm.”She sat back in the water with a satisfied look.“I don’t think I can manage another bite.That was very good, Balarr.The best food I’ve had in ages.Thank you again.You’re very thoughtful.Very attentive.”Another blush stole over her features.

“You are very welcome, my mate.”He set the near-empty tray aside before joining her in the tub.

He sat across from Luna, their legs entwined beneath the soapy water, as he considered all that had happened recently.An old commander friend of his had signed him up for the VAMOB program against his wishes.He’d been matched to Luna, and he’d traveled to earth to retrieve her—a complete stranger.

He thought of the guards he’d stunned as he fought his way to her in the organ-harvesting facility, and he had to suppress a growl.He was still tempted to return to the scene and terminate the human males he’d left lying on the ground outside the building.He was also determined to hunt down the surgeons who’d removed her organs.Every last one of them.He wouldn’t rest until vengeance had been served.

“Balarr?”Luna asked.“Is something wrong?”

Fluxx.He tried to fix his expression, but it wasn’t easy when he couldn’t stop thinking about the torment those bastards had inflicted on her.They deserved to die.They deserved to suffer.

“I was just thinking about Zalora Biotech,” he admitted.But he didn’t want to tell her about his murderous thoughts, so he went on to tell her about the messages he’d sent the Vaxxlian diplomats.

“Thank you for contacting your diplomats,” she said.“That makes me feel better.Do you think they’ll help?”

“I know a few of them personally, and yes, I believe they’ll help.They’ll work in secret, of course—the United States government can’t learn of our interference—but I’m confident they’ll locate the escaped patients and offer their assistance.When I receive a reply from the diplomats, I will let you know.”

She exhaled slowly and nodded.“I’m so relieved.You don’t want to know how many body bags I saw being carried out of that place.”

“I can imagine.”Despite himself, a low growl rumbled from his chest.“I am sorry you endured such pain and fear at that place, Luna.I wish I could take away those dark memories for you.”

Her visage softened.“Thank you, Balarr.I’m just grateful you were able to help me, and that you still wanted me after finding out I signed up for the VAMOB program when I wasn’t totally healthy.I felt a bit guilty for signing up for the bride program.”

“The state of your health wasn’t your fault, and in any case, it is actually quite common for human females to sign up for the VAMOB program because they desperately require medical attention, or because one of their children needs medical attention.Word of our healing nanobots has started to spread.But we are happy to take such females as our mates,” he said in a comforting tone, hoping to alleviate her remaining guilt.“I am gratified that you signed up for the VAMOB program, Luna, and I feel lucky to have met you.I feel lucky to have you as my mate.”An odd warmth he hadn’t experienced in years flowed through him, and his chest also became a bit tight.But he was speaking the truth he harbored in his heart.

Luna blinked rapidly as tears filled her eyes, but he knew they weren’t tears of sadness.Still, he moved to her side in the large tub, then drew her onto his lap.He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight as he breathed in her sweet fragrant scent.

She relaxed in his arms with a soft sigh, and he brushed his cheek against hers repeatedly, enjoying the feel of her skin and her hair tickling his face.

She squirmed slightly in his lap, causing her bottom to grind down over his cock.His scrotum tensed and his shaft lurched upward with such a force it caused her to gasp.

He kissed her cheek and continued rubbing his face against her, relishing the softness of her hair and skin.Star God, she was so perfect, he wasn’t certain he would ever manage to get his fill of her.Would he always remain in a state of urgent need?

He’d finished claiming her a short time ago, but his cock was already fully erect and throbbing to be inside her.Fluxx, he wanted her.Right here in the bathtub.

Would she think he was a beast if he rutted her again so soon?He tried to think rationally, but it became difficult to form a coherent thought when she kept squirming upon his lap and grinding her bottom over his shaft.

A growl escaped him before he could stop it, and he found himself taking a firm hold of Luna while he pushed her down harder on his cock.

Her breath caught, and when she leaned forward and peered over her shoulder at him, he realized her eyes were brimming with desire.Since she was submerged in the water, he couldn’t easily detect her arousal in the air, but just one look at her and he knew—he knew she was aching to be claimed all over again.

Did he dare claim her here in the tub?

He stroked a hand through her hair as he considered.Well, she hadn’t given any hints of pain during their activities in the bedroom, and she’d climaxed twice while also managing to take the full length of his cock.Perhaps she wasn’t as delicate as he’d initially thought, though of course the healing nanobots and the hypospray had probably helped.

“Do you want me to claim you right now?”he whispered into her ear.

She gave a keening whimper as she squirmed over his cock again.“Yes, Balarr.Yes.I-I want you.I hope you don’t think I’m too… wanton.But I…” Her voice trailed off, and he sensed her embarrassment over her desires.

But he didn’t want her to feel any shame just because she wanted him—her desire would always be for him, just like his desire would always be for her.It was how Vaxxlian mating unions worked.For as long as they lived, they would only crave one another.

“Please don’t feel embarrassed, Luna,” he said in a gentle but strained tone.“I’m pleased that you want me again.Can’t you feel how much I want you?I’mfluxxingaching for it.I want to bend you over the side of the tub, spread you wide, and sink inside your exquisite tightness.I want to rut you until you climax on my cock again.”

Another whimper caught in her throat, and he suddenly realized she always had a visceral reaction when he spoke so candidly to her about their intimate activities.Dirty talk.That was what some humans called it.But to him, it was just talk.It was him expressing exactly what he wanted to do with his sweet little human mate.

He threaded his fingers through her hair and gave the slightest tug, just because he knew the action would make her whimper or moan.It worked, and the strangled moan that left her caused his shaft to throb harder beneath her bottom.

“Ask me to bend you over and claim you, Luna.Ask me.”
