“I promise to worship you in sickness and health.I promise to stand by your side, my hearts forever open, and to love you intensely and eternally,” I finished.

A rush of air heaved from her chest as she smiled up at me, her depthless brown eyes shimmering with love and light.

“How am I supposed to top that?”she muttered.

I laughed.So did the guests in the first few rows.

“You don’t have to,” I assured her.

She nodded, took a deep breath, and began.“I, Nera Cotrobin, human from the planet Earth, pledge to explore the wonders of the universe with you, Maxx, King of Xenoxx, my cosmic companion.I promise to embrace the mysteries of your world and to share the marvels of mine.I promise to be your anchor, your solace, and your earthly, trustworthy tether.I promise to love you unconditionally, to reach for the stars with you, and to find the extraordinary in every moment we share.”

To hear her say the words pounded my heart faster.This was real.Every moment.I almost couldn’t believe it was finally happening.

From my pocket, I retrieved the Ring of Eternity, crafted from rare Xenoxx metals and crystals.Slowly, I slipped it onto Nera’s delicate ring finger of her left hand.It emitted a soft, pulsating glow, which meant that my goddess herself blessed this union.

Not that I was nervous She wouldn’t.Both She and Nera were cut from the same fierce design.

Nera had no such ring for me.Xenoxx men were marked permanently with their bond in a much different way.My pants grew tight at the thought, my blood practically singing.My kaxxui thrummed within me and begged to be released.

“Now we kiss,” I whispered.

“About time.”She hooked her finger into my wedding robe and hauled me closer.

I leaned down to devour Nera’s mouth with mine.

Everyone gathered on the beach threw their hands in the air, and a shower of iridescent sparkles rained down upon us.This was the stardust blessing part of the wedding, a token of goodwill.Stardust held the collective wishes and dreams of everyone in the universe, and it was believed to bring good fortune and harmony to our union.

The stardust sparkled like tiny diamonds in the air, and while I hungrily kissed my bride, my hands knotted tightly at the back of her head.I freed one to take hold of Nera’s ringed hand and touch the celestial unity amethyst on the tree-trunk altar.

It was infused with the energy of my goddess, and as we touched it simultaneously, the jewel emitted a brilliant, otherworldly glow that enveloped us in a cocoon of shimmering light and glittering stardust that hovered in midair, frozen in time.Our guests had disappeared, still on the beach with us, but nonexistent in our goddess-made bubble of privacy.

“Maxx…what…?”Nera panted out, her attention caught between my kisses and the beauty of our starlit oasis.

I swept her up against me, feeling all of her delicious curves, and growled into her neck, “Now comes the fun part of our wedding.”

Chapter eight

Nera

Okay…Maxxdidn’ttellmeabout this.A gorgeous, glittery bubble, shot through with rainbow swirls and delicate golden webs, had sprung up out of the amethyst stone on the tree trunk and enveloped us, hiding us from our wedding guests.

But could they see us as Maxx grabbed my ass through my dress and ground me against his thickening cock?I didn’t mind a little voyeurism, but the way Maxx was kissing me would skyrocket this from zero to porn very fast.

Which I was very okay with, just not live on camera.

“Maxx?”I asked breathlessly.“What about—”

I broke off into a moan when he cupped my breast, catching my nipple just right against the fabric of my dress with tantalizing friction.

“They can’t see or hear us,” he assured me.“Whatever time we spend in here will seem like only a second to them.”

“Oh, well, in that case…” I climbed him like a pole, or at least I tried to in my dress.

He made it easy for me by lifting me off my feet and spreading me gently on a wispy cloud of whatever made up our private bubble.The surface felt gloriously cool against my skin, which only grew hotter when Maxx dipped his head under my dress.

I still didn’t know exactly what was going on and why we were here, but soon, it didn’t matter.

He ravished my inner thigh with ferocious kisses, grazing his scaled tongue and lips against my skin.My body trembled in anticipation, my blood scorching through my veins as he drew closer to my center.Each kiss sent electric jolts of pleasure throughout my body, and my hips involuntarily rolled toward him, begging for more.
