And I’d do what I had to do to keep her safe. If that meant eliminating the Vice Admiral, so be it. No one was going to use us against one another. No one. And with the cuffs about our wrists, no one would doubt.
I’d kill the fucking king on Prillon Prime or the leader of my home world, if I had to.
I wanted this to last forever, our connection, the sweet, blissful feel of being deep inside her, but the smell of her skin, the softness of her pressing against my chest, the softness of her ass as it bounced against my hips was too much. Her wet core pulsing. Coaxing. The orgasm built, drawing up into my balls in a blissfully painful twist, and I knew I wouldn’t last, needed to take her with me.
I dropped one hand to her clit, found her swollen and slick and stroked her, increasing my speed, pumping into her like the primitive animal she turned me into.
Her scream was my cue to let go, and her pussy milked me as my roar filled the entire lower level of the Academy building where they’d held me.
I coated her pussy with my seed until it overflowed, slipping down her thighs, over my balls. I’d marked her. There was no going back. The claiming was complete.
The Mating Fever was instantly gone. My beast was soothed.
Hot, sweaty, barely breathing, I held her there, pressed to the wall as my beast settled, completely content for the first time in years. Hell, I never recalled being this sated, this much at peace.
Lowering my head to her shoulder, I kissed her there, gently. Finally, gently. I knew my voice would be hoarse, but I had to say it. “I love you, Kira. You’re mine.”
I saw her smile as I brushed her damp hair back from her face. “I love you, too. You’re my beast now, Angh. No more of this dying bullshit, okay? You scared the hell out of me.”
The bliss I’d felt dimmed. She’d only come here because she thought I was going to die. She hadn’t chosen me, she’d chosen not to let me die.
Before I could process that, someone cleared their throat.
Instantly, I moved my body to block the other’s view. But that was all I could do. The cuffs were still activated, holding her wrists locked to the wall above her head. And my cock was still buried deep. I didn’t want to pull out. Not yet.
If I was honest, I wanted to stay there forever.
With Kira sheltered from the stranger’s eyes, I turned my head to find the Vice Admiral standing with her arms crossed over her chest and a victorious grin on her face.
“Now that you’ve got that sorted out, finish up and be in Transport 2 in an hour.”
I growled, the beast coming from deep within me, taking control. It was no longer raging out of control, but fierce and focused.
“Kill you.”
This was the person who had threatened our mate and the beast was angry.
The Vice Admiral didn’t bat an eye at the threat. “Yes, well, can you do it after you get back from Sector 54? You’re mated now. You will go together. Fight together. I’m counting on the two of you to be my strongest team and we’ve got an I.C. asset that needs immediate extraction. So, one hour.”
With that, she turned on her heel and took three steps. Stopped. Faced me again. “Oh, and in case you were wondering, I relieved the guards monitoring the prison cell vid feeds, and a certain period of time will be mysteriously missing from Academy data.” With that, she left me alone with my mate. Both beast and man at a complete and total loss for words.
Was that the same woman who’d had me sent to the brig, strapped to the table and being readied for execution? Had this been her master plan all along? Was Kira here because she truly loved me, or because this manipulative female had forced Kira’s hand?
I couldn’t think on it now, for my cock was still hard, the vids were down and we were still alone. We might have to head to Sector 54, but I’d fuck my mate once more before we did so. This time, I would be in control, not my beast. But Kira would come again. Her pussy would pulse and spasm as I watched. I wanted to see her face this time. She was mine to pleasure. Mine to tame. And even if she had only come here to save my life, the beast didn’t care about the rules. He didn’t care about the Vice Admiral’s schemes. He’d taken what was offered and it was too late to change anything.
Kira was mine now, whether she truly wanted to be or not.
And I wasn’t strong enough to let her go.
