“Your Unrighteousness, she, um…” The Ambassador’s voice broke. “She bought an entire Joining Room for herself and the Llurren.”

“My sssexy beassst?” Daddy Skirkild’s lament slithered into my ears just as Zyn’s tongue slithered inside me, thrusting over and over.

Zyn’s tongue was a god, and I would erect statues to it. His mouth clamped over my entire sex, gently sucking, and his tireless tongue swirling around my clit, slipping inside me, and back. Back and forth in a perfectly overwhelming dance. My hands twisting in his hair only seemed to make him go at me harder. His hands squeezed my bare ass, pulling me tighter against his mouth. I bit down hard on my lip to drown my cries of pleasure..

“What did you let my daughter do?” Sha hollered.

“Explain yourssself and your daughter, Borrdaff,” Daddy Skirkild said. “My Llurren never joinsss with anyone. He’sss my finessst dancsser!”

“Erm, the other dancers say…” One of the Ambassador’s voices began, and the other finished. “They say he found his mate. They’re in there right now…ehrm, mating.”

“They’rewhat?” A guttural give in thewhatnearly betrayed Sha’s true voice, but they recovered. “Let me get this straight. My daughter is joining with a Llurren?” They sounded more confused than outraged. “Are we sure that’s what’s happening in that room?”

The Ambassador sighed heavily. “It sure sounds like it, Count.”

Athunkagainst wood like someone’s fist hitting a table. “That’s preposterous. My daughter is an innocent virgin!” Sha bellowed. “She only has sex with other humans!”

I might’ve laughed at Sha’s misunderstanding of the human construct of virginity, but behind the thin concealment of the flag, Zyn’s mouth was thoroughly fucking me. Orgasm after orgasm cascaded through my body and one of his large hands expertly groped my breast.

“I’m gonna hold you responsible for this, Skirkild, and any babies that come from it.” Sha rushed from the room with Daddy Skirkild close behind.

“Holdmeresssponsssible?”

Whatever I’d expected the notorious Crime Lord of Jurdu to look like, the aged, skinny yellow-scaled reptile rushing from the room in a white-powdered wig was not it.

As Skirkild rushed down the hallway after Sha, bells tied to his tail with ribbons tinkled from below purple and gold embroidered robes. His shouting faded. “Your promissscuousss daughter can’t have my Llurren! I found him fair and sssquare!”

The poor Ambassador followed, wringing his four hands.

The moment I judged them out of earshot, I released a string of expletives at Zyn’s perfectly-timed release of a mind-numbing orgasm. He lifted me down, but I was unsteady on my feet. “Holy Dilf, Zyn.”

He pulled me close against his chest, his strong arms encircling me, his heartbeat strong and steady under my ear. For the moment, I gave in to the quiet, the comfort. My face against the smooth, soft hair of his chest, his body exuding that irresistible scent while I tried to recover my shaking legs. This was no condition to be in for a job.

“You know, Roxy,” he said, his deep voice soft and reverent in my ear. “I prayed to Dilf for a mate I would love?—”

I pulled away and studied his soft brown eyes, my hands on his ridiculously muscled arms. Dilfdamnit he was beautiful. “Whoa.Love?Zyn, I’m not your mate. I’m being paid to rescue you from Jurdu and bring you to IFUCS, and?—”

“But youaremy mate. You’re not only the ideal biochemical match for me, and—” He gave a small shrug and looked down as if bashful. “For producing Llurrlings, if we want, but?—”

“Zyn, look. You’re a great guy. Really. And yeah, right now with your mating…stuff kicking off, we’re having a lot of fun. But I have important plans that this rescue is paying for, and?—”

His shoulders sagged, his face pained. “What do you have to do that’s more important than your mate?”

I sighed and pushed out from under the flag, and he followed me into an empty chamber. “Someone important to me is—” I hated to tell him I was emotionally involved with someone else, but he had to hear it sooner than later. “Someone I love is in trouble, I think. So I’m going to find him.”

Zyn folded his arms, his thick eyebrows pulled into a foreboding frown. “Him?”

“And when I find him, we’re going to go somewhere far from all of this—” I gestured around us. “This bullshit. Of arms dealers and mercenary jobs and rescues that almost never go right—” I put my hand on his arm reassuringly. “Oh but this one will, I promise! I’ve been doing this a long time, and I deserve a peaceful life, finally. The money from delivering you is going to buy me a retirement on a beautiful planet?—”

“But we?—”

“No.” I put my hand on his chest. I needed his body again, but I didn’t want to break his heart. He was making everything harder, especially my clit. “I’m taking this for myself, Zyn. What I want is an afterlife?—”

He gasped. “While you’re still alive?” His jaw dropped, those deep brown eyes staring intently into mine.

My heart kicked against my throat. “What did you say?”

The most beautiful smile bloomed on his face as he pressed his forehead against mine. “That’s what you want. Isn’t it, PrettyScoundrel22?”
