if I could.
I grip her waist and move faster, my cock desperate for release. She digs her nails into my shoulders and rides me while her moans of pleasure tear from her throat. The demoria’s song is even more beautiful than I remember.
“Castien, I’m…I’m going to come.”
I spank her ass, a wicked grin sliding over my lips. “Then come for me, demoria.”
And my mate does. She throws her head back, her entire body stilling, and lets go with the most beautiful sound of all. Unable to hold back any longer, I release into her cunt, and for a moment, we remain tethered.
I stand and carry her over to my bed, then I lie with her cocooned in my arms. She breathes heavily, trying to catch her breath, and for a long while, I listen to her heart beating like the wings of a demoria. But that demoria is no longer caged; she is free and happy, her song intended only for me, and I couldn’t be any happier than I am right now.
“Castien?” Jade whispers, her breath hot against my torso. “I love you too, you know.”
Euphoria ripples through me, and it takes all my strength not to crush her with my elation.
“I know,” I say, kissing her temple. “You were just too damn stubborn to admit it.”
She giggles and leans in closer. “Me? Stubborn? Never.”

“Wake up, demoria. You have a visitor.”
I groan, immediately wanting to mush Castien’s handsome face to get him to be quiet. For days I’ve been nauseous, and at first, I swore it was because of some alien thing that he had me eat, and I swore it was a rodent.
But then the ship’s physician told me I’m pregnant.
The thought is still foreign to me, but it’s made very real every morning when I feel like puking. Like right now, which is why a visitor is the last thing I need.
“I don’t want to see anyone,” I grumble, refusing to open my eyes.
Castien tucks some of my hair behind my ear before whispering, “I think you’ll want to see him.”
“Him? There is no one on this ship I want to talk to, especially not a him.”
“My sweet mate, that is music to my ears, the song of the demoria, but you will want to see this male.” Castien runs his fingers down the side of my cheek. “This I can promise you.”
I sigh and open my eyes. “Fine. But I plan on sleeping the entire day afterward.”
Castien gives me a smile that’s filled with mischief. “We’ll see.”
It’s on the tip of my tongue to tell him about the pregnancy, just so he’ll understand why I’m not myself, but I bite my lip instead. I want to break the news to him gently and in a way that’s special. Even though I wasn’t planning on getting pregnant, I didn’t exactly do anything to prevent it either, yet I find that I’m really happy about it.
I hope Castien will be too.
He leans over and gives me a long kiss, and right when I’m ready to ignore my nausea in favor of a good time, he pulls away. “Now sit up and close your eyes, mate.”
Because of the sparkle of excitement in his gaze, I do as he orders while he slips from the bed. A couple seconds later, there’s a quiet thud as something large is placed in front of me.
“Open your eyes, Jade.”
I almost scream for two reasons.
The first is because there’s a scary alien looking at me. The second is because that alien is Mr. Fluffy.
“Castien, you found him!” I grab the stuffed creature and squeeze it to my chest. “How? We left him behind in the alley.”
“I asked my men to retrieve that hideous thing because I know how much it means to you.”
My smile wobbles when I look at him, my heart swelling in my chest. “Thank you. And you’re right, it does mean a lot to me. Honestly, I can’t believe you even thought to do such a thing.”
Castien sits on the bed beside me, wrinkling his nose at my prize. “I would do anything for you. Surely you know that by now?”
“I do,” I say, inwardly grinning. It never fails to amuse me how he detests my fluffy friend, but it’s more than a stuffed animal. It’s a symbol of my first achievement, the time in my life when I became who I was meant to be at Castien’s side.
“Are you ready for another visitor?”
Instead of huffing, I nod. If Castien wants
