is so fragile that I could crush her. How can such a delicate creature have enraptured me so intensely? How can she doubt my love for her is anything but unbreakable? “You are my mate. No other female in the universe will ever be that to me. Do you understand me?”
The tears collected on her lashes brim over, splashing her cheeks. “I understand you. I just don’t believe you. How can I when women throw themselves onto you and you just stand there kissing them back?”
Moving my hands beside her head, I cage her with my body instead, concerned I’ll lose control of my strength. I am not letting my mate go. She can fight me, she can delude herself into believing I have been unfaithful to her, but I will not release her.
“I did not reciprocate the kiss. And trust me, the next female who ‘throws’ herself at me will be getting pushed out of the nearest airlock.”
“Don’t be so cruel.” She smiles as she says this. “I don’t want you to kill them. I just want you to be more mindful of their motives.”
“As you wish.” I drag a finger down the curve of her breast. She breathes sharply, pushing herself into my hand. “But only if you promise to not be so damn stubborn.”
Her lips thin. “I’m not sure I can promise that.”
“Then perhaps I need to do something about it, hm?”
I brush her nipple, and she gasps. “Sounds like you’re threatening to punish me.”
“Oh, I’m not threatening.” I chuckle, tweaking her nipple between my thumb and finger. “Punishing you is exactly what I’m going to do, Jade.”
She watches me stand back. A smirk glides over my lips as I reach into my coat pocket. I’m glad the androids did not steal the item during my captivity. That would’ve been another thing to retrieve.
“I want you to undress and put this on for me,” I say, handing her the red lace bodysuit.
Jade stares at the lingerie incredulously. “You can’t be serious?”
“I am very serious. This is part of your punishment.” I lean in, whispering in her ear, “And don’t pretend the thought of wearing this doesn’t turn you on. I can smell your cunt getting wet for me already.”
I will never get tired of my mate’s blushing. Her mouth opens, and she clamps it for a second before shaking her head.
I cross my arms and smirk at her. “The longer you disobey me, the more I am going to spank you.”
She squirms as the blood rushes to her face, and I nibble her ear before pulling back, again holding out the item. She grabs it and hurries into the bathroom, muttering intelligible words under her breath. With a smirk, I sit on the edge of the bed and wait for her, my palms resting on my lap rather impatiently.
The door opens, and lust floods my veins when Jade emerges. From the way her body fills the lingerie to the smell of her arousal infusing my senses, she is a truly magnificent sight to behold.
And she’s all fucking mine.
I inhale through my nose and pat my lap twice. “Come here.”
My mate walks over timidly, and I drink in more of her beauty. I’m the luckiest warrior in the universe to have this female as my mate. I don’t think she’ll ever comprehend how much she matters to me.
Trailing my fingers down her chest to the little bow above her pelvis, I ask, “Do you know why I must punish you?”
“Because you’re a pervert.”
I arch a brow and nod slowly at her. “Yes, yes, I am. But why else?”
Her heart stutters as I run my thumbs along her stomach to her hip. “Apparently because you think I’m stubborn.”
“I do not think you are stubborn; it is a fact. From the moment I met you, you have repeatedly demonstrated this trait to me. Now, I didn’t mind it, for the most part, since it allowed you to come into your strength. But then your stubbornness had you believe I did not want you. That you are not my mate.” Grabbing her waist, I yank her forward, pulling her cunt to my torso. “That’s something I cannot—will not—let slide. Because you are my mate, Jade, and if I have to spank your sweet little ass until you believe me, I will.”
She gasps as I move her aside.
“Now…” I pat my lap again. “Lie down.”
A flicker of hesitation dawns on her face. I lift a brow, and that single act has her
