succeeding.
Hell, I was premed with no student loans. I was doing something right. Keeping that in mind, I faced the extraterrestrial men that wanted to use us.
I hated we were giving into their demands, but we had nothing to fight with.
Oh my god...
I was about to sleep with aliens.
If I was a newscaster, I'd be Jim Carey, muttering under my breath, "And that's how the cookie crumbles."

"What is your name, human?" I asked the female as we guided her to my quarters.
"Harker," her tone was firm, unwilling to say anything else. I enjoyed the hardness she exuded.
Cahn and I shared a look behind her as my personal guard guided her to my living space. He had similar thoughts about our pick. She was feisty, and we liked it.
Harker was an alpha female of her race. They just didn't rank her kind the way we did ours.
The horns resting on our heads told everyone we were superior among the Amgards. Cahn's mother was of an extinct race, so that's where his tail and fur came from.
She had been a slave of the Druigns, forced into captivity by my grandfather when they destroyed her home planet. During the war on my own planet, all the Druigns had been sent to march on the front lines, sacrificed for our own kind to survive.
The worst part about all of it was, it had been a civil war. Our people weren't defending our lands against outsiders. When the bombs dropped, it was our own brothers lighting the fuse.
It saddened me greatly, but I understood the tyrants my grandfather and father had been when it came to their leadership. Barely surviving now, I was expected to get us back to greatness again.
Segn—my personal servant—opened the doors to my room, pleased about my retrieval of future breeders. Harker wouldn't know until it was too late that we impregnated her, but I had to do it. Unlike my father and grandfather, I would put my people first.
Harker was just the first steppingstone of growing toward it. The grey-eyed beauty cast her gaze over her shoulder, halting me in place. Her exquisiteness alone would ruin me tonight, but she would have no idea how much she called to me.
I partially wondered if there was more to this connection than mere attraction, but I couldn't let my mind go there. My mother used to speak of all creatures having a soulmate, no matter how distant in the galaxy.
What could be, could not plague my mind now. I had a mission for my people because they were my priority.
Using humans as our new partners after the other races died out, we had hopes that our kind might be able to reproduce on their own. Only time would tell, and Harker would never forgive me for the secret she'd find out in the coming weeks.
Pretending to take them for a night of satisfaction was easier than expressing we needed their wombs for our next generation. Once she learned of the child, we'd send a protector to make sure she kept the baby.
Segn would look after Harker without her ever knowing I had eyes on her. He knew his part in this procreation plan. So far, we had eighty fertilized females on Earth.
Our plan had been fruitful, but we needed more to keep our kind going.
Harker's curvaceous body swayed into my room, so it was only natural my eyes lingered on her very large rear. Cahn elbowed me as we entered my private chamber.
She gasped, seeing my extremely large bed draped in the furs of the beasts I slaughtered. It was not a secret among our kind that I shared my bed with other females in this space, but I could see her mind putting it together.
"Strip," Cahn commanded her.
Harker flipped around, fright present in her expression. I rolled my eyes at the daft beast.
"Do not spook her, Cahn. We will make this equally enjoyable for her." I fixed my stare back on the female. She stood in the middle of my metal room, appearing to belong in it. Our ship might be made of an alloy, but my furnishings were wood.
Harker was seeing my den like my other lovers had not. She wanted to take in every detail because it was so different than Earth’s wood. Our trees had been light purple, so my bedroom set had that.
From my stance as alpha, I was revered and enjoyed the finest of white furs. They came from the beasts called ompokkas on my home
