KROKTL

F rom the very first moment I found my tantalizing little human mate lost in the jungle, I’d wanted to put my teeth in her throat. I wanted to leave a permanent mark on her body that couldn’t be washed away or covered up with another male’s scent.

I hadn’t dared bite her hard enough to leave such a mark.

Not on her perfect, fragile skin. We’d barely even gotten past introduction sex, and she’d been taken by the mercenaries.

When I got her back, she’d been injured.

Then I immediately impregnated her and two months later, she was a mother to our youngling, the first documented dynos born in the wild for millennia.

Natalie hadn’t had a single moment of peace since she ran into me. Especially now with five dyni mates to satisfy and a youngling to raise.

She arched her back and pushed her tempting ass up against me. :And I wouldn’t change a single moment. Except for when I was locked in the cave alone. That sucked.:

“How many fucking times am I going to have to apologize for that mistake?” Axxol growled.

“Every single day,” Snryx and Rizan replied in unison.

:For infinity,: Lohr added on the grid.

“Fuck you. Especially you.” He tugged on her hair again, trying to get her to let go of his skin. “Don’t you dare tell me you’re intelligent for a fucking human when even my alpha vibration doesn’t knock some sense into you.”

Which gave me an idea. I sat upright, straddling his thighs. “Let go, baby. I want to try something.”

She made a low, hungry little sound of protest, making my dick throb with urgency, but she released the bite.

Swirling her tongue over the indentations in his skin, she purred out, “Who’s a big baby now?

I didn’t even break the skin. Meanwhile, you swallowed me whole and gave me nasty infections from your T-rex teeth. ”

Axxol bared his teeth in a vicious grin. “These teeth will do a little more damage than your flat grazing chompers, baby . One snap and you’re just meat.”

I lifted her enough to turn her around so she faced me. “And we’re very, very hungry.”

Tipping her face up to mine, she licked her lips, her eyes heavy lidded and dark with lust. “Evidently, me too.”

I let the raptor rattle rumble through me. “That’s good, because I want you to take a bite out of me, and Axxol’s going to help.”

“How’s that?” He retorted—though his dick halfway emerged from his slit.

I shifted her so she sat on his lower abdomen, her soft cunt fully in contact with his stomach. “Let out another alpha vibration, and I’ll show you.”

He released a deep, nearly silent rumble.

Even for my raptor, it was a sound meant to shake me out of the most fevered, intense hunt and bring me under his dominion.

He could certainly rattle the glass window panes with a bone-shaking T- rex roar, but the quiet sound was more alarming.

Creatures for miles in all directions would feel his rage and freeze, hiding, terrified the apex predator would find them.

Natalie shivered, goosebumps rising on her arms. But she also moaned as the vibration rippled through her pussy.

Axxol might be a giant dick—in more ways than one—but he was also a quick study.

He locked his hands around her thighs above her knees and pinned her harder against him.

Another wave rumbled through him, and she jerked in his grasp, her spine bowing.

Her head fell back, trailing her soft hair over his chest.

Her hands flailed against my chest, grappling for something to hold onto. The sharp prick of her nails put my raptor on high alert. Eagerness surged through me. I wanted her nails clawing me, her teeth deep in my flesh. Marking me.

I felt the flinch in her very human mind, quailing before such a bloodthirsty desire. She stared up at me, her eyes widening with shock, shimmering with moisture. Shaken, she whispered, “I don’t want to hurt you. Ever.”

“That’s good.” I leaned down enough to lightly rub my nose against hers. “Though marking won’t hurt me.”

Axxol let out a soft grunt of acknowledgement. “It’ll actually make him stronger.”

“A marked squad will be damned near unstoppable.”

“I thought you were already unstoppable.” She laughed shakily, her brow still furrowed with concern. “What’s so special about this mark?”

“It’s hard to explain in terms a human would understand since they’re urges you normally wouldn’t experience. I’m sure Lohr and Snryx can elaborate in a lengthy lecture?—”

“Later,” Axxol broke in with a vicious snap of his teeth. “Too much talking, not enough fucking.”

For once, I agreed with him wholeheartedly. I cupped the back of her skull and pulled her closer, using my scent and heat to stir her desire again. “I once made you come just by vibrating against your pussy. Do you think our alpha’s up to the challenge to do it again?”

He narrowed a hard, ozone-sparking glare up at me. “That’s not much of a challenge. She comes at the slightest touch anyway, not that I’m fucking complaining.”

The corner of her luscious mouth quirked up, her eyes flaring with her own growing power. A hint of blue, a fiery red core, sparkled with amber and green. “I remember what I did to you too.”

Exactly. I slipped my hands beneath her thighs, lifting her up out of Axxol’s grasp enough for him to start thrusting up into her sweet heat.

From the muttered growls and pants, it wasn’t much easier for him to get inside her this time either.

Alphas weren’t programmed to think smaller, let alone adjust their size to better accommodate a mate.

Especially one of Natalie’s more delicate frame and size.

His breath rushed out in a choked wheeze. “What the fuck did you do?”

I flashed a toothy grin at him. “Our little human has extremely good muscle control.” I tucked her close, folding myself around her so she had easy access to bite any part of my upper body she wished. “See if you can squeeze him hard enough to break his dick in half. He’ll love it.”

NATALIE

Hot velvety muscle rubbed against my entire face. Kroktl’s scent filled my nose, once a terrifyingly strange odor that made me want to run. Now, he smelled like home. Safety. Love.

His hands stroked my back, played with my hair, and slowly danced down my spine. His fingers unerringly traced each vertebra as if memorizing every bump and ridge.

While Axxol tried to shove a giant log inside me.

To his credit, I’m pretty sure it was just as hard on him—ha ha—as it was for me.

Especially when I tightened my pelvic floor muscles on the few inches he’d managed to work inside me.

As soon as I relaxed, he heaved up beneath me, lifting my knees off the mattress.

I would have fallen off him entirely without Kroktl’s steadying hands.

“Fuuuuuuck,” Axxol panted, squeezing my thighs so hard I’d probably have fingerprint bruises. “Do it again.”

Kroktl teased his lips in feather-light kisses behind my ear.

His tongue stroked my neck, his teeth lightly nibbling on the tendons that ran down to my shoulders.

Hot and cold chills raced down my arms and spine, both with delight and an underlying thread of danger.

Predator at my throat. One careless slice or nip. A twist of his big hands.

I’d be dead.

Though what a way to go.

Keeping my focus just to our private channel, I whispered, : If I’m going to bite you, I want you to bite me too.:

His raptor rippled inside him, a swelling pulse of eager hunger, not just for my pleasure. But also my blood. :Are you sure?:

:Absolutely.:

I clenched my pussy hard again, starting the rhythmic squeeze and release trick I’d done on Kroktl.

Axxol was so much bigger, it was hard to feel any constriction or ripple in my walls.

Though he must feel every squeeze from the way he panted and groaned, rocking his hips up beneath me each time I let my inner muscles relax. Stuffing more of his dick into me.

Maybe I was too focused on the squeezes to climax myself. Or he was just too big. I could feel him moving incrementally deeper, though I wasn’t sure how. Impossibly deep and thick, making it difficult for me to breathe too. I wasn’t riding him at all, but I still couldn’t catch my breath.

He jerked upright so he could growl directly in my ear, his breath hot. “Open up. Let me deeper.”

I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, but I couldn’t make my brain work enough to reply. He was so deep inside me the pressure was becoming unbearable. Not pain, exactly, but too much to be pleasurable.

Besides, I couldn’t forget my challenge.

I wanted to make the mighty alpha beg.

So I squeezed his dick even harder, clenching down everything in my core.

Squeezing until my muscles quivered. My heart thundered.

All my senses tunneled down to touch. Smell.

Taste. Every inch of my pussy stuffed full, rubbing up and down all that magnificent thick length.

Hot, hard bodies pressed against me, so much power and danger and intensity, entirely focused on me.

This silly little human on this forgotten, ignored planet deemed incompatible. Disposable. Billions of people wiped out without any hesitation.

Yet I was still here, mated to the squad sent to destroy Earth entirely.

Every single component of their supremely advanced engineering focused on making me come. Giving me pleasure. Making me happy.

Me.

Universes spun inside me, spiraling galaxies and inescapable black holes and blazing nebulas of exploding power.

All at my fingertips. Ready for me to use—even if I didn’t understand the scientific complexities.

The key burned inside me. All the secrets, scattered like puzzle pieces, waiting for me to put them back together where they belonged.

The secret lay here. Sandwiched between my mates. In their scents burning my nose. Their straining muscles engineered to kill and destroy effortlessly. Their blood, ripe with Sirian programming.

Click. Of course. The puzzle board shifted in my mind, all the pieces re-arranging themselves effortlessly.

I carried their DNA from their cum. But not their blood.

Another reason humans were deemed incompatible for breeding with dyni.

I pressed my open mouth to Kroktl’s chest. The meaty pectoral flexed against my tongue. His arms tightened, silently urging me to surrender to the mating urge of his kind. He gripped the ridge of my shoulder in his jaws lightly, his tongue flicking teasingly over my skin.

We held each other’s flesh in our mouths.

Tasting. I enjoyed the texture of his skin.

Thicker than mine, more like hide or leather, though not as impervious to damage as his raptor’s scales.

Old scars marred his body, scrapes and bites from other battles.

Images flashed through my mind, whether imagination or scenes from the grid replaying, I wasn’t sure.

His sleek, formidable raptor attacking, slashing with six-inch long razor claws.

Tearing with vicious rows of teeth. His special X-ray vision zeroed in on his target, seeing exactly where to bite and dig with his front knife-like claws to kill his opponent as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Yet he held me with infinite tenderness. He’d cradled our infant daughter in his massive hands and swore to keep us safe. Always.

I tasted his courage and loyalty. Fiercely protective and vicious, he would kill anything and everything without hesitation.

A wave of vibration rolled up through me, lifting every hair on my body. Shaking my bones, rattling my teeth, clenching every muscle. My heart stopped, my lungs squeezed tight.

“Fuck!” Axxol roared so loud, so close, my ear drums ached. “Please fucking come before I fucking die!”

Smiling against Kroktl’s chest, I willed everything inside me to lock. Clamped down. As hard as possible. Even my teeth.

Scalding hot blood filled my mouth, raw with minerals and surprisingly thick. My brain jolted. Shaken to the core.

At how good it tasted. How right it felt to have my mate in my mouth. His hot blood on my tongue. While our alpha exploded and thrashed, pouring his release into me at the same time. But his release was nothing compared to the sounds Kroktl made as he tasted my blood too.

I didn’t feel any pain from his bite, but the grid flared and burned with a sudden surge of energy. Data flooded us all, too rapidly for me to even begin to understand.

I broke apart, fragments spinning away in a tornado that blasted through me. Pleasure so intense it hurt, flying at the speed of light—only to crash into the ground and shatter into a million pieces.

:I got you, baby: Kroktl whispered in our special, private grid, his words melting through me like red-hot lava.

Yes. He would always catch me. Whether I soared or fell.
