and inhaled the fragrant scent of her hair. His cock began to stir when she shifted in his lap, but he ceased whispering to her in hopes that she would remain sleeping. After recent events, she needed her sleep.
He considered his promise not to have her uncle killed. He still raged at the knowledge that the man had been planning to sell her innocence. Gods, he wished he could travel to Earth and make her uncle suffer. But Rem would keep his promise. And he wouldn’t leave Tyra’s side.
The sun rose higher in the sky and it wasn’t until late afternoon when his sweet mate stirred again on his lap. He kissed her cheek and then watched, waiting for her to open her eyes. When she did, she blinked up at him with a soft smile gracing her lips.
“Good morning, Rem,” she said through a yawn.
He chuckled. “It is late afternoon.”
She sighed and wiggled around in his lap, freezing when she rubbed over his hardness, the evidence of his building desire for her. “Well, good afternoon, then.” In the next moment, she shifted around again, deliberately rubbing her bottom over his hardening cock. Her gaze turned heated and she parted her lips on a quick inhale.
“How did you sleep?” he asked.
“Like a log,” she replied, then grinned when he stared at her in confusion, as he didn’t quite comprehend her meaning. “But I’m awake now, and it seems you are too.” She wiggled around yet again, and he repressed a growl as his length thickened and his balls drew up tight, desire heating his blood as the scent of her sudden arousal hit him. He marveled that she could be growing so wet between her thighs so soon after waking, though he wasn’t about to question it or complain.
“Are you sure you wouldn’t prefer to get something to eat?” he asked after her stomach suddenly growled, her well-being at the forefront of his mind, even though he would love nothing more than to claim her right now, to push her down upon the bed and worship every little part of her body before he sank himself inside her tight, welcoming depths.
“You can feed me later,” she said, a glint of mischief entering her eyes. “Please, Rem, I-I need you right now. I can’t explain it, but I must feel you in me, I need to feel that we are still a mated pair.”
“We will always be a mated pair,” he reminded her. “Marttiaxoxalians mate for life, in case you have forgotten, and you, my sweet Tyra, belong to me. For as long as I live, you will be my most precious possession. The love of my life. The mate of my heart.”
Her visage brightened. “Who would have thought that my big, bossy, grouchy mate was capable of uttering such poetic phrases?”
For a brief instant, he wondered if she could understand the Marttiaxoxalian tongue, for he had uttered many flowery and heartfelt phrases to her while she was drifting off to sleep, as well as when she’d been deep in her slumber. But her next words revealed she hadn’t.
“The mate of my heart is quite possibly the sweetest thing you’ve ever said to me.” She reached for him and ran her hands down his horns, then lifted her face to his and parted her lips. “I am yours, Rem, and you are mine. Remember, we belong to one another. Now kiss me, kiss me before I explode.”
Tyra’s center throbbed and whenever she squirmed upon Rem’s lap, she felt the heat of her growing need rubbing between her thighs. She was wet for him and that empty space inside of her ached to be filled up. She longed for him to press her down and make her feel as though she truly belonged to him, as though his heart only beat for her.
He deepened the kiss, tangling his tongue with hers as he growled into her mouth, causing her insides to vibrate and her pussy to clench. He proceeded to strip off her clothing, then rose from the bed just long enough to divest himself of his own attire.
A second later, he pressed his naked body to hers and resumed kissing her. He entered her in the next moment, shoving his cock deep inside her, and she parted her thighs wider, inviting him to shove even deeper. This was exactly what she’d wanted. She didn’t need any lengthy foreplay this time, she simply wanted to feel him deep inside her, pounding away
