Page 35 of The Alien Warrior's Mate

Ready to claim her.

He knew what she was thinking for it mirrored in his own heras.

I would break her.

Korben cupped Sah-ah’s chin and tilted her head up so her eyes were on him. His finger’s blue hue clashed against her dark brown skin. The way she felt cupped in his palm made a moan of need spring to his lips.

Denizi.

Just standing near to her like this triggered Sah-ah’s wet heat. He could feel her blood rising. Could smell the desire flowing down her thighs and mixing with the drops of water from which she’d bathed.

Her flesh quivered beneath him and the fragrance of her eagerness reached his nostrils.

She was ready to mate.

He felt it in his bones.

So ready.

But making her wait came with its own spring of satisfaction.

He enjoyed torturing her.

Just a little.

His eyes fixed on her mouth. Korben had been fascinated by these two plump pillows since their first meeting. His fingers traced the shape of the top. It was arched on both ends with a tiny dip in the middle.

Sah-ah trembled harder and a quiet cry leaked from her parted lips.

He smirked in masculine victory. “I haven’t even tasted you yet, Sah-ah,” he murmured, delighting in the way she responded to his tiny touches. His strokes were not meant to be seductive, but every brush seemed to melt her bones.

Sah-ah said something in a low, impatient voice.

He chuckled. “In time.”

Her eyelashes fluttered. A little moan settled deep in her throat. He understood without her speaking a word. She liked his voice.Thatvoice. The husky tone that escaped whenever he was affected by her.

Korben sensed her agitation, but he did not rush. Lowering his thumb to her bottom lip, he rubbed against the soft, tender flesh. It was surprisingly springy. He tugged down and released, watching her lip bounce back up.Fascinating.

He’d only glimpsed the human female anatomy from research. Fortunately, the differences between a Plutonian female and a human female were few. He found himself grateful for this fact. It would make finding Sah-ah’s pleasure sensors much easier.

Korben’s own hand trembled with nerves. He had no practice in touching a female, but he had wicked instincts and the gasps of his human to guide his way. Pleasing Sah-ah was his new mission. He looked forward to making her scream until she went hoarse.

“Sah-ah…” He breathed over her neck. “May I have permission to touch you in your private places?”

She threw her head back and wrapped her arms around him, pressing their bodies flush together and rubbing on him the way she had in the shrubs. As she did so, she muttered under her breath. There was a soft, near begging plea to her tone. Korben’s hand wound around her waist to steady her and a low groan hissed through his teeth as his body responded to her impatient gyrations.

His mating instincts screamed to take over. She was pushing him to the very limits of his patience as she rubbed and moaned.

Her soft chest, her wet heat—

Denizi.

Korben crushed his lips to hers. Sah-ah stood on the very tips of her toes, her feet sinking into the soft sand beneath the shallows of the lake. Her arms came around him as she pushed herself up to meet his mouth passionately.

Korben’s lips sucked gently of hers, tasting the sweetness of her. He moved his devotion to her bottom lip, savoring the plumpness of her mouth while she dug her blunt nails into the back of his neck.

Mm.
