“Why did you stay if you were just going to be miserable the whole time?” Stephenie shot back.
Ouch. That stung.
Darcy didn’t bother responding to her best friend. She just turned on her heel and left the cafeteria.
Truthfully, she didn’t have an answer.
Chapter 2
Darcysat up from her spot on the bunk when she heard the door to the room she shared with A-rec whoosh open. She stared at the gray alien that stood in the doorway. He was huffing as if he had just run to get here, his shoulders bouncing up and down like some sort of wild animal.
Son of a bitch, she thought as she jumped up from the lumpy mattress and raced across the dorm room. A-rec was like a magnet and moved forward to catch her just in time as she leaped into his arms at top speed.
Her lips pressed against his as she wrapped her arms around his neck. God, she hated this creature. How could she be so attracted to him at the same time? He was so…fucking annoying. And so fucking hot.
His hands cupped her thighs as she wrapped her legs around his waist, locking her ankles together.
“God, you piss me off,” Darcy growled, catching A-rec’s lower lip between her teeth and giving it a rough tug.
The alien let out a groan in response, and suddenly her back was pressed against the chrome wall of their dorm.
“What have I done now, my Mate?” A-rec grumbled against her lips.
Darcy stilled and gently pulled away. She stared into his gray eyes and frowned. “Exactly that,” she said. “Stop the whole ‘myMate’ crap. I’ve told you a thousand times. I want a choice in this.”
A-rec tightened his hold around her waist. “You chose me.” He replied softly.
“Ugh.” Darcy pretended to gag. “Stop. Just stop.” She wanted to deny that it had been HER to come onto HIM…but that wouldn’t be entirely true. Well… She had just decided to spend the rest of her life with a bunch of alien guys in space! Or at least in space until they returned to the alien guy’s planet. She needed something to take the edge off…and A-rec had been the closest thing.
Did she feel bad about it? A little, but not bad enough to stop.
“As you wish,” A-rec said, pressing his lips to hers once more.
Darcy gave the long horns on his head a tug, using them to stir him in the way of the bed they shared. A-rec surprised her by dropping her onto the mattress. Her hands, as if of their own accord, reached up and caressed his bare abs. One of the perks of these alien guys? They weren’t fans of shirts. Or many clothes at all, for that matter.
She leaned forward and pressed her lips against the gray skin there. It was soft against her mouth, as if A-rec was covered in peach fuzz. Her tongue darted out, and she slowly, teasingly licked downwards, stopping just short of his loincloth.
Darcy had learned pretty early on that the Toxhocan women did not pleasure their Mates with their mouths. She supposed that made sense, what with the males having two cocks and all…but to Darcy, that made it all the more fun.
She felt A-rec tense beneath her touch, and a satisfying thrill shot through her. There was just something about being able to bring someone so huge and muscular to their breaking point that was such a turn on.
She pulled back and glanced up into the eyes of the alien that had claimed her. She watched his chest and shoulders risewith his uneven breathing. He stared down at her, eyes wild with anticipation.
“Are you… Are you going to do that thing with your mouth?” He managed to ask.
“Do you WANT me to do that thing with my mouth?” Darcy countered back teasingly. She reached up and ran her fingers along the hem of his loincloth, occasionally dipping inside just shy of his members.
“Y-yes,” A-rec whispered gruffly.
“Why should I?” Darcy taunted. She trailed her tongue just beneath the hem of his loincloth. “I’ve asked you to stop following me around all day…but you keep doing it. Why should I give you what you want if you can’t give me what I want?” Ha. Maybe now he would take the hint.
“I-I’m only trying to k-keep you safe.” A-rec quivered against her mouth. “What if I-ya escapes his hold and comes after you?”
“I can take care of myself,” Darcy snapped back. “Besides, with all you big baddies around, I doubt I’ll be in any real danger.”
“Baddies?”
“Yeah,” Darcy explained, rolling her eyes. “Big, sexy men.”
