Chapter Ten
Rezzer, Zakar Private Quarters
“Excellent job,” I said, walking up between my friends and slapping them both on the shoulder.
Tyran and Hunt didn’t look away from their mate or their new baby as we came in. In fact, if the Hive came through the door, I doubted they’d notice. Although the way they eyed their loved ones with such possession, I had no doubt they’d defend them to the death.
Lady Zakar, their mate, laughed from where she was propped up in bed. She wore a white gown that covered her modestly, and the blankets were tucked about her waist. Kristin of Earth held her newborn baby in her arms, swaddled in a soft wrap. “Thanks, Rezzer, but I did all the work,” she grumbled, but a smile played at her lips.
I knew her well, having worked beside her, hunted next to her in the caves below this world. She had been trained to enforce the law on her world, and that need had come with her to this one.
Her mates did not approve, but as I was discovering on my own, our mates from Earth were fiery and stubborn.
Kristin looked nothing like my mate with her short, blonde hair. She was smaller, too, of similar size to Lady Rone. Caroline had called herself an Amazon, although I didn’t know what it meant, only that she was perfectly sized for me.
Finally, Kristin looked up from the babe in her arms but ignored me, only having interest in Caroline. “I’m so glad we finally get to meet. I’m Kristin, although everyone else calls me Lady Zakar.”
“Yes, Hunt. Tyran. It seems we’ve kept our mates in bed for the past two weeks for completely different reasons,” I said. I heard Caroline’s little gasp before Lady Zakar frowned. I smiled as I clarified. “You were resting to ensure your baby’s safe delivery, and I kept Caroline in bed to ensure I put a baby in her.”
Caroline turned to me and swatted me on the arm. “Rezzer,” she complained.
Lady Zarak laughed. “Come sit with me, Caroline. He’s just being normal. All mates are possessive and proud of their virility.”
Tyran walked over to the bed, leaned down and kissed the top of Lady Zakar’s head. “And look what our virility made, mate,” he said, eyeing his sleeping daughter.
“You’re in big trouble now,” Caroline said as she sat on the edge of the bed. “A girl. She’s going to have you two wrapped around her little finger before she can walk.”
Hunt made a grunting sound. “She already has. She will not be mated until she is thirty-two and they will live with us. In separate rooms,” he added.
I didn’t say a word, for I knew I would be just as possessive when it was my turn. The thought of Caroline holding our baby as Lady Zakar did, a cap of black hair on a little girl’s head, a babe who looked just like my mate, made my heart swell and my beast pace and preen in equal measure.
Especially now.
We’d done it, my beast and I. Caroline carried my child. She didn’t know it yet, but the signs were there. Over the past two weeks since she'd transported to the Colony and become mine, I’d learned her body well. Every curve. Every line. Her taste, her sounds of pleasure, the way she tightened before she came. The feel of her pussy after it had been well claimed, my seed slipping from her. Of course, I took to using my hand to slide it all back into her, making her come once more on my fingers to ensure the seed was pulled deeply inside her body.
I couldn’t take my eyes from her. Everything about her hypnotized me. The soft sheen of her skin. Her smile. The graceful and feminine way she moved. The curves of her breasts and belly and hips. She was everything I’d never known I’d missed. My heart had been empty, but now it was filled. I’d had no idea it could grow to be bigger than my beast, and larger still with the potential for a baby. Something we made together. Something so perfect it was hard to believe it could be real.
Seeing Lady Rone and Lady Zakar heavy with child, playing with Kiel’s new son, Wyatt, had awakened a need in me just as strong as the beast. Perhaps more so. More primitive. I’d been obsessed with planting my seed in my mate and taking her body whenever I wanted and anytime she needed. We were both voracious for each other. Insatiable. I’d thought my cock would be too much for her, that she’d be sore, but no. She’d awoken me in the night, sliding onto my cock, taking what belonged to her.
Not to be outdone, I’d roused her with my head between her thighs, tasting our mingled flavors.
That had been several hours ago and yet, my cock pressed against my pants with the want of her again, even as we stood, guests in the Zakar family’s private quarters.
I took a deep breath, cooled my ardor until I could get her alone. Somewhere. Anywhere I could push up her dress and fill her. Oh, the seed had already taken, but just knowing there was a baby growing within her made me want her all the more.
The changes were subtle: her breasts larger. Heavier. Her nipples were darker and more sensitive; I could bring her to climax just from my mouth and fingers on them.
And lower, while her belly was still flat, she was always dripping for me, her inner folds swollen and sensitive. Aroused in a way she called horny. She was horny all the time.
I grinned, and Tyran pulled me in for a surprise hug. “It’ll be your turn sometime soon.”
Stunned by the overly affectionate gesture, I realized I would be behaving like him and his second in a matter of months. While this baby was the first born on the Colony, it seemed she would be the first of many.
“Ignore them. They’re happy now. But you should have seen them during the delivery.” Lady Rone rolled her eyes, but there was laughter behind the gesture. And love. It shone from her like a beacon for every unmated male on the Colony.
Hunt’s face went grim. “That was terrible. I vowed then never to fuck you again if it meant keeping you from such pain.”
Kristin rolled her eyes. “And look what the pain brought.” She glanced down at the baby, who’s tiny hand came out of the swaddling and curled into a fist. “Besides, it wasn’t that bad. Not with all your medical gadgets and the ReGen wands.” She looked up at Caroline. “Seriously, it’s amazing. I had the baby, they put me in the ReGen pod for like, an hour, and I’m already healed.” Her gaze drifted to her mates. “So, we’ll see how long your ideas about leaving me alone last.”
