me to take her.
“You keep many secrets from me, but right now, you are failing miserably at keeping your lust for me hidden.” I bring my lips to her ear and lightly nibble the side. She gasps and then holds her breath, her pulse thrashing like pistons in my ears. “So don’t try to deny it,” I whisper, running my tongue from her ear down her neck. “I can already smell how wet your cunt is for me and how desperately you want my cock to be the one to fill it. Is that not so, my little human?”
There’s a brief silence, then a warm, clenched fist slams into my chest in a futile effort to shove me back. The retaliation is more endearing than anything. How enticing Ella looks when she’s mad and trying to send me away.
Enticing, and so very foolish if she thinks she stands a chance.
The only way I’m leaving this planet is with her in my arms.
And if that means using force and abducting her again, so be it.
I tighten my grip on her jaw, scarcely managing to contain my displeasure. “Why do you want me to leave you all of a sudden?”
She glances from my chest to my face, her thin eyebrows drawn together in a frown. “Because I don’t need you anymore. So just…just go. I can walk the rest of the way on my own. Please?”
There’s a distinct vulnerability in her voice that brings out my empathy more than my wrath. If I weren’t so certain Ella was telling the truth, I’d pin her to this tree and show her exactly how much she needs me.
“No. You see, Ella, I plan on escorting you all the way to your destination. And once you’re done there, I’m taking you with me whether you want to come or not.” I straighten and look down at her, my shadow devouring her small frame pressed against the tree. “So whatever you need to do on this planet, I suggest you get on with it. Otherwise, I’ll put you over my shoulder and take you back so we can pick up where we left off. It’s not like your body isn’t ready for me.”
The female’s eyes widen and dilate, her bowed lips parted in momentary surprise. But then she drags her dainty features into a scowl and raises her fist again with clear (although misplaced) determination to inflict bodily harm. The moment her small fist descends, I catch it with my other hand and pin her against the tree with my body. I use my knee to hold her in place, and despite the blood rushing to my cock with an almost painful need, a tinge of fury sears through me.
“Perhaps you want me to do just that,” I say, a deep growl rumbling in my chest. “Perhaps that’s why you’re trying to provoke me. You want to finish what we started, don’t you?”
A violet blush surges to her cheeks. “I don’t want to continue anything! What we did on my ship was—”
“A mere taste of what I’m about to do to you, right now, in these woods? My thoughts exactly.”
“Bravik, I don’t—”
“Hush, human. Let me give your body what it craves.” I slide my hand down her chest and circle the curve of her breast with the pad of my thumb. “You can fight as much as you want, Ella, but I’m not leaving you.” Her pulse spikes when I tweak a nipple and gently bite the side of her neck. “You’re the only female in existence who offers me salvation. Do you have any idea what that does to me? How invaluable that makes you to me?”
“But you don’t even know me.” Her voice is barely audible. “You just met me.”
“And yet I’m tethered to you in a way your human brain can never comprehend. Without you, there’s no hope for me. Nothing but darkness. Do you really despise me for trying to avoid that?”
Her frustration, anger, and unease wash away from her in an instant. In place of them is a genuine curiosity that burns similarly at my own core, hardening my cock and desire for her until all I can think about is ripping off her clothes and sinking into her cunt. A smirk tilts my lips when she looks at my mouth and slowly leans forward. It appears she’s in agreement with me, and I couldn’t think of a more pleasing distraction.
“Identify yourself!”
At the sound of the male voice, I spin around,
