I snap my hips against hers, lifting her into my arms and pinning her against my chest. Her legs are around me and I sit back on my heels, thrusting into her as I sit up. I bare my teeth and bite her neck—gently, oh-so gently—even as my release crashes through me and I come harder than I have ever come in my life.
Kim clings to me, her breath panting on my shoulder as I continue to work her up and down on my cock, my movements slowing. She moans, the sound long and loud, and I feel her clench around me again.
"Oh," she whimpers. "Okay. That was…"
"Pleasing," I offer, licking the small bite mark I have left on her throat.
She chokes on her laughter, burying her face against my shoulder. "I was going to say 'intense' or 'shattering' but we can go with pleasing."
"Was it good for you?" I ask, stroking my hand up and down her sweaty back. She's still seated atop my cock, and I can feel my release on the insides of her thighs. My cock is drenched in our fluids, but it makes her wetter and I think I might take her again, just like this, as soon as I catch my breath.
My warrior stirs, and I suspect he will rally for a second round quick enough.
"It was amazing," Kim murmurs, snuggling against me. "Did it feel like I was having my insides rearranged by a baseball bat? Yes. Was it mind-blowingly good? Also yes." She sighs. "I've never come so hard."
"I bet I can make you come harder," I purr, my hands sliding to her backside.
"Let me catch my breath, you demon." There's laughter in her voice. "Oh god. I'm pretty sure everyone on the ship heard us. Were we loud?"
"Very quiet," I promise her, and then hesitate. "Actually, I promised I would no longer lie—"
She giggles and shakes her head. "Great."
I continue to stroke her all over, fascinated at how soft she is, how vulnerable. How perfect. My beautiful, wonderful mate. "I want you to know I would never leave you behind," I tell her. "Nor would I decide my future solely on what I want. We are together, you and I, and your future is just as important as mine."
"I don't want you to feel like you're held back because of me," Kim says, her fingers lightly caressing my pectorals.
"I am not held back at all. I never wanted to be their heir. All I ever wanted was my mate at my side…and children." I turn my face and press a kiss to her sweaty brow. "I should let you know that I cannot make you pregnant like this."
"How do you know unless you try?"
"Because we are two different species—"
"I know," she interrupts, chuckling. "I'm teasing. Plus, you told me before that we'd need to get fertility shots or something."
"Yes. Is that…something you would wish to do?"
"Absolutely."
"When?"
Kim pulls back and looks me in the eye. "You're asking now?"
I nod. "Why not? I love you and want to be with you."
She bites her lip, thinking. "I guess I'm always a little afraid of what the future holds. Like I say I want babies, but it's 'in the future' because I keep waiting for things to get better." Her fingertips skim over my nipple. "Can't imagine things getting much better than now, though."
"I want to have cubs with you," I tell her. "I do not care if they are half-human as long as they are half-Kim."
"Oh, Nassakth," Kim whispers. "I never thought you would be so perfect when I first met you. I thought you were just a scary stalker. But you're amazing, aren't you?" She brushes her fingers along my jaw, then traces my mouth, so different from her own. "I love you so much."
"All my heart-feelings are yours, Kim." I kiss her fingertips and then ease her gently back down on the bed again. I shift my hips. Sure enough, my cock is beginning to stiffen once more. I wonder if I can remain inside her and claim her a second time?
There is only one way to find out.
"Are you sore?" I ask, reaching between us to cup one enticing breast. I roll the nipple with my thumb, coaxing it to a stiff peak once more. "Shall I get off you?"
"No and no," she breathes, looking up at me with beautiful eyes. "I think you should claim me again."
I think that is an excellent idea.

KIM
“You’re alive,” Bethiah teases as I enter the mess hall of the Little Sister. “Here I thought we were going to have to pry you two apart with a crowbar.” Her voice lifts in a mocking tone as she mimics my voice. “Oh, Nassakth! Make me purr! You’re so big and strong!” She sticks her tongue out. “Disgusting.”
“You’re just jealous,” I say happily as I move to the noodle dispenser.
