Chapter 11
Knox
Tell her what she is to you, you absolute fucking asshole!
Clara got one thing right about me. I am an asshole. A better man would have explained the whole starmate thing by now. But here I am, one blow job, a finger fucking and a pussy licking later, and I haven’t told her she is my mate.
My tongue buzzes on her clit, and she lets out a moan that makes me want to fuck her right now, to hell with the consequences.
You’re not really supposed to lie to your starmate. Usually, you don’t have to. They know what the deal is when you meet them. You both know that you’re supposed to just fuck and be mated for life. Easy.
But Clara doesn’t know anything about Virrindarian starmating culture. In fact, I have no fucking idea how this is even happening. My cock shouldn’t be glowing for a human, my tongue should only vibrate for my Virrindarian starmate, not my grocery delivery girl.
But fuck if I don’t want to keep her forever.
I have no idea what I’m doing with the whole licking her out thing, but the mating bond knows, so I trust my instincts, licking and sucking on her delicious clit while my fingers pulse inside her.
She writhes and pants, and I think she’s getting close.
Yeah, I made a couple of women come on the starship, but not all of them. Not all the time. I felt pathetic, but they said it was okay. Sometimes it just doesn’t happen.
It will never not happen with Clara. I’ll do everything in my power to make her come. Every damn day of the rest of our lives.
I trust my instincts and curl my finger at exactly the right moment. She cries out, shudders, and screams my name through the cabin and hopefully through the whole fucking woods so everyone on the mountain knows what I did to her, that she’s fucking mine.
She pants, letting out soft moans and groans as I gently slide my fingers out of her and lie down beside her.
“Why are you stopping?” she asks.
“You came.”
“But I want to come again.”
“Again?”
“Yeah, but this time with your cock in me.” Her delicate brow knits. “You don’t want to?”
“Course I want to, I just—”
“You just what?”
Need to tell you about the starmate thing!
“Nothing, baby. Just open your legs.”
She opens up for me, and she looks so fucking amazing lying here on my rug in front of the fire. Her arms still in my sweatshirt, nothing else on her.
She runs her hands over my bare chest and gasps as she takes in my muscular form. Virrindarian guys all have super strength and super speed, and that comes with a pretty decent physique.
“You’re so ripped,” she gushes. “So fucking hot.”
I quirk my lip at her. “You’re so fucking hot too.”
“I don’t really work out.”
“You’re beautiful,” I tell her, my hands running over her sexy tits and giving her nipples a little squeeze. My mouth finds its way to one of them, and I run my tongue over a nipple, kneading her other breast with my hand.
She squeals and arches into me, and I swap over, flicking my tongue on her other nipple until she’s kicking her legs, giggling and panting and pushing her hips towards me.
I grin as I grip her waist, right at the place I’m going to hold while I’m fucking her, shoving my cock all the way into her and making her mine forever.
“I love your softness,” I say, before planting a gentle kiss on one breast. “So soft, so warm.” I kiss the other breast and then start placing kisses all around her tits and down her belly. “You’re fucking perfect, just, like, this.”
I line my cock up with her dripping, ready and wanting pussy.
Okay, you really should tell her, asshole!
Yeah, I should tell her, but I want to get inside her. Feel what she’s like. I’ll fuck her just a little. One inch. Maybe two. Then I’ll explain. I’ll still have time to stop if she doesn’t want the bond.
But starmates always want it. When one starmate wants to fuck, so does the other one.
At least, that’s how it is when your starmate knows that they’re about to be mated to you for life!
There’s nothing I want more than to thrust my cock into her, but instead I fucking freeze.
“Condom?” she asks, like she thinks that’s the reason for my sudden stalling.
“Oh, shit. I don’t have any.”
“I have one in my purse, I can go get it.”
Fuck, I didn’t even think about this. Maybe she doesn’t want to mate. Doesn’t want my alien babies.
Oh, fuck. I’m so confused. If she was Virrindarian, she’d understand the mating is for love and also to continue the species.
But everything is different on Earth, and I don’t understand any of it!
“You want kids?” I ask her, rubbing my tip against her entrance, desperate to get in, to get home.
“Kids?”
“Do you want them?”
“Uh, yeah? I mean, eventually. Sure.”
“Want to put a baby in you right now,” I grunt, my forehead falling gently onto hers while my tip rubs at her opening.
Oh, fuck, what am I saying?
This is the worst. I am the worst! This isn’t how humans do it!
“Right now?” she asks, her eyes wide.
Just fucking tell her!
I keep my cock where it is, right at her entrance. “On Virrindar Four, we don’t do sex like this.”
“Yeah, you do it in pods, against a wall.”
“Unless we meet our starmate. Then it’s different.”
“Starmate? What’s a starmate?”
I reach down and move a tendril of messy sex hair off her cheek. Fuck, she’s perfect. So fucking beautiful. All naked, her legs open, pussy wet, if I fuck this up and lose this woman, I’ll never fucking forgive myself.
She’s your starmate, you can’t lose her.
“Everyone on my planet had a perfect match. One true love.”
“Oh?”
“When you find them, that’s it. You’re done. No more fucking in pods. It’s just you and them forever.”
“That sounds… kind of nice,” she says, a soft smile spreading over those beautiful lips.
“Yeah. Really fucking nice. But it didn’t happen for everybody. Especially after, well, you know.”
She nods.
“There are a couple of ways you can tell if you’ve found your starmate.” I look down at my glowing, pulsing cock, so ready to take her and mate her.
“The glow?”
I nod. “Yeah. The glow.”
“Are you telling me that I’m your starmate? Your one true love?”
“Yeah. If I fuck you, all the way in, we’ll be mated for life.”
“And with mating comes babies? Alien babies?”
“Yeah. Well. That’s how it usually works.”
“You don’t get to know each other first? Date for a while? Move in for a year to see how it goes?”
I laugh at the idea of that. “No. Never. When we know, we know. Simple as that.”
“Do you know?” she asks. “Do you know if… if I’m your starmate?”
“My dick fucking knows.” I grip my cock and rub the head on her clit.
Her eyes close and she sighs. “Fuck, that feels good.”
I lean over her, move her hair away from her ear, and whisper. “I know it sounds crazy to your human ears, but I’m in love with you, Clara. You’re my starmate. My missing piece. You are the only woman in the entire universe I want to call mine.”
“What if we get to know each other and it doesn’t work out?” she asks, grinding against me.
“The stars guided us together. It has to work out.” I run my hands down her amazing Earth woman body. “But we can wait. Take it slow. It’s not how we do it on my planet, but we could do that here. Whatever you want. Anything you need. We can take our time. Get to know each other—”
“Fuck me,” she says, her eyes on me, steady and sure. “I want it. All of it. I want your alien cock. Want your seed inside me. I can’t explain it either, but I want forever with you.”
I don’t fucking wait. I grab my glowing cock, line up and push inside.
