Pulling back slightly, I slid my length into the cleft of her ass, rubbing it back and forth for a few strokes, letting the wetness I had gathered from her dripping cunt smooth the way.

“Please.” Natalie’s plea was echoed in my mind as she pushed back into me, grinding her hot sex onto my cock.

I wouldn’t make her wait any longer. Not when she begged so beautifully.

With one hand braced on her hip, I reached forward and laced the fingers of my other through her hair, the dusty purple of the ends contrasting perfectly with the deep gray of my skin. A gentle tug pulled Natalie’s head back, arching her back exquisitely. My tail wrapped around one ankle, nudging her legs even wider.

As the head of my cock notched at her entrance, I caught my mate’s gaze in her reflection on the glass viewport ahead of us. I worked forward inch by inch, feeding my cock into Natalie. I pressed in slowly, letting her soft flesh give way to me even as I itched to bury myself to the hilt immediately.

A sharp smack echoed through the cockpit as Natalie slapped a hand to the star port to brace herself. She bit her lip and her eyelids fluttered, but she held my gaze until I was seated fully inside her wet heat. Her one human eye was half-lidded and glazed with pleasure, and even the silver cybernetic orb, which seemed to constantly flit about, stayed still as she stared at my reflection.

I shuddered, completely overwhelmed by the feeling of oneness. The clenching of my mate’s cunt echoed in the back of my mind, enhanced by the feeling of fullness from Natalie. As she rippled around me, I felt the echoes of the pleasure caused by my piercings pressing against the sensitive points within her.

Then, I began to move. With short, slow thrusts, I somehow managed to work deeper, until Natalie was all I could see—feel—taste.The edges between us blurred, until my mind was lost in a transcendent ball of ecstasy.

“Eacus.” Natalie’s voice was a whine for more, and I could deny her nothing. My grip in her hair tightened, arching her back into me even further. Her gaze held mine through our reflections in the viewport, her mouth hanging open and brows furrowed against the onslaught of sensations. I snapped my hips forward once more and snarled at the way her breasts swayed with the motion. I could just make out my name, smudged on her chest in her own blood, in the reflection. The sight spurred me on as my thrusts became relentless. Through her mind, I could feel the way her fingers dug into the unforgiving titanium of the control panel, and the building pleasure at the base of her spine.

My psyche fell into hers, wanting to be surrounded by Natalie in all ways. Her pleasure was mine, and my mouth watered with the craving for more. My hand at her hip snaked around to her core with the intent to stroke the bundle of nerves just above where we met, to stoke her pleasure higher.

Instead, my fingers drifted farther back to where I entered Natalie, tracing over the way her flesh stretched around me. The silver balls of my piercings popped in and out of her one by one. Each one sent a fission of pleasure up both our spines.

A growl ripped its way out of my throat. “I don’t think I’m ever going to get enough of the way this tight little cunt strangles my cock.”

Natalie’s only response was a choked noise between a sob and a moan, but I understood it perfectly. I picked up the pace, pounding into her hard enough to drive her hips into the unforgiving edge of the control panel. She didn’t seem to care, pushing back against me with equal force.

Finally, I dragged my fingers up to strum over her pleasure point. Earlier, she had touched herself with quick, vertical strokes and I mirrored them now, gritting my teeth against the thundering approach of my own release.

She shuddered around me, and I redoubled my efforts.

Supernovas exploded in my vision as Natalie’s pleasure snapped with a breathless cry.

“Eacus.”

The warm, salty taste of blood filled my mouth before I realized I had bitten down on the side of my mate’s neck with the force of my release. I spent inside her with an almighty groan, my wings snapping fully open as our joined minds became nothing more than a burning ball of white-hot pleasure.

Mate.

She was my mate in every way now. Nothing in the charted galaxies and beyond would part us now. I would make it so.

The pressure and pain of the hard edge of the control panel against Natalie’s hipbones seeped into my mind, gradually, as our brains continued to bleed into each other with little distinction. I gently pulled my teeth from her neck as I slid my softening cock from her, helping her shift away from the panel to ease her discomfort.

I relaxed my grip in her hair in favor of gently rubbing circles into her scalp. Another breathy moan escaped her lips, this one more a sigh of contentment than the cries of pleasure that had come before.

As I took a step back, the sight of my spend dripping down Natalie’s thighs greeted me, almost more intoxicating than the blood trailing down her neck. Absently, I trailed my fingers through it before pushing it back inside my mate, her sex still pink and swollen with pleasure.

Natalie squirmed but didn’t pull away.

“You took me at my word when I asked you to make me yours,” she observed, teasing, but I sensed no regret. Only satisfaction.

“I do nothing by halves,” I responded, pulling my fingers from her with a debauched squelch. The sound nudged my hunger again, but for now, the need awoken by the new mating was satisfied. There were other needs that overrode those desires.

The need to make sure my mate was cared for.

“What now?” I asked, stroking the length of her spine gently.

“Well, for now I think we need to clean up and find some clothes,” Natalie sighed, finally standing up.

My arms came around her waist as I tucked her back to my front, unable to keep my distance for too long after all.
