I lean back on him, stroking his arms that are wrapped around me. “Now, I’m here.”

“I...” Iechon’s voice shivers. “I want to ask you something.”

“Sure.” My heart skips a beat. Is he going to ask what I have in mind?

I close my eyes to see how he ran to save me again. This time, the memory is a lot clearer. I can even see how he smashed those two males with the stool. Not what I’d expect for beings fighting in space, but Iechon risks getting shot by laser guns to save me.

He holds me closer to him as if that’s possible. He remains quiet, but there is a vibration in his chest that echoes in me. Is he nervous?

He pecks a kiss on my neck, but he is still quiet. I hold his arm, stroking him. He has been looking like a hulky, muscular beast that won’t flinch at anything, but...

“Zoe...”

“Yes? Whoa!”

He spins me around so I can see his face. “I know we have a bumpy start and we don’t meet like humans and I’m not even a human. But I know in my blood that you are my mate. I understand that you may not want to be mine and...” He sucks in a deep breath as if the words are weighing on him.

“Zoe... Will you give us a chance? Be my mate?”

I look into his eyes, feeling the heat inside me. I have no idea what will happen next if I agree to be his mate, but if I refuse...

A pain nudges me when I give that some thought. Maybe I don’t want to leave him, even though I don’t understand everything there is about life in space.

“Iechon... I...”

He sucks in a breath as if he is bracing and getting ready to get punched. “Yes? No? Do you need more time?”

I cup his cheek. He watches me, seemingly in doubt. “Iechon, I’m nervous too. But I can feel it inside me. I don’t completely understand the mate bond, but I want to give us a try. Thank you for saving me, even though it is dangerous and you may end up getting hurt.”

He wraps his arms around me so tightly that I feel like a teddy bear getting crushed. Maybe he should remember I’m a human and I’m a lot smaller than him. I don’t mind if he thinks I’m fragile in this instance.

“Thank you, Zoe. I promise it is going to be amazing. I run around on trading routes doing different stuff for others. I think you will enjoy it. We will get to travel around and you will be able to visit all the places.”

That sounds like a good deal.

He kisses me before I can say another word. His lips are hotter than I remember, and he is melting my heart with the kiss. There are waves inside me that are stronger than the ones on the beach. His warmth envelopes me and I love that.

“Zoe, I will take good care of you. No one gets to take you away from me.”

“Iechon... I know you will be there for me.”

He pulls me over as he lies on the bed. “I’ll always be there. No more stupid blue males.”

I rub his cock, which has been pressing against my body when he holds me that close to him. “Look at this. You’ve never hidden your intention.”

He grins. “I know exactly what I want the moment I saw you. There’s no hiding. I don’t do that, I take what I want.”

“As a proud and snobbish kuqnil?”

He rolls around and pins me under his huge body. “Soon, that will be a horny and strong kuqnil.”

“Maybe also one that’s obsessed with me.”

“Are you complaining?” He pulls onto my clothes and I move to make it easier for him. I love looking at his handsome face and... the warmth in me agrees.

“I’ll complain when it gets boring. You are supposed to be here to keep me happy and having fun.”

He grunts and grabs my boob, nibbling on my flesh. “If you enjoy screaming and squirming, you will be having fun. You are such a tease.”
