It felt like I’d enjoyed a good workout at the gym, something I hadn’t done since I got here.
“I’m a little sore too,” Egara said, grunting and screwing up his face. “I must have worked you hard. But it’s your fault for turning me on the way you did.”
I blushed, my cheeks and entire face burning red. I slapped him on his giant muscular forearm.
“Do you usually hurt after sex?” I said.
“No,” he said and seemed a little surprised by his answer.
Egara was not traditionally handsome. His forehead was a little too high and his cheekbones a little too striking. His was more of a visceral, animalistic attraction, the type that drew everyone’s eye whenever he entered a room. Charismatic was the word.
He rolled over onto his side and leaned his head on his bulging bicep. I’d always had a thing for big muscles and he had the biggest muscles of anyone I’d seen in this prison—and that was saying something as most of them were built.
This was my favorite part as a Prize. After fucking, after the awkward silences had passed, we could luxuriate in each other’s presence. I had a real chance to get to know the creature that’d chosen me.
Every person was a story and there wasn’t a single prisoner I’d been with that didn’t have an interesting history to share.
I rolled onto my side and faced him, our naked bodies entwined, our bare skin rubbing against each other. I peered up into his eyes—and what eyes!
They were blazing turquoise and speared me in place. He had long eyelashes, blazing red skin, and huge horns jutting from either side of his head.
And yet, I felt as comfortable as could be in his presence.
“What made you become a pirate?” I said.
“What makes anyone become a pirate?”
I thought it was a rhetorical question but he appeared to be waiting for me to answer.
“I don’t know,” I said. “Desperation. A lack of opportunity?”
He threw his head back and barked a laugh.
“I suppose it could look that way from the outside. But no. We become pirates because it’s what we’ve always done. It’s written into our DNA.”
“Always?”
“For the part of our lives that matter, yes.”
I wasn’t sure I much liked the sound of that. I preferred the idea of being in charge of my own destiny. I believed in taking responsibility for my life. But did that mean me ending up here as an alien’s plaything was my fault?
Hm. That didn’t sound right to me.
Egara smiled and lowered his face to the base of my neck and nuzzled me there, his lips kissing the soft skin and nipping at it with his teeth. He moved in closer to me and I felt his impressive thickness press against me.
“I had a ship,” he said. “There were few other things I wanted to do, so I joined the family’s pirate business.”
I sighed as he lowered his lips to my nipples and stroked them gently. I tried to form the words of my next question but they died on my lips beneath his caress.
So gentle for such a big monster.
“How about you?” he said. “What were you before you got banged up in here?”
“I was a historian,” I said, my eyes closed and enjoying his caress. I looked forward to what it might lead to.
He paused and pulled back, peering at me.
“A historian?” he said.
