Page 33 of The Alien Who Saved Christmas

I saw Sadie kiss Santa Alien,

Underneath the mistletoe last night.

…And in the control room.

…And by the view screen.

And when he picked her up and told her how pretty she was.

Honestly, everyone sees her kissing him all the time.

A lot.

From “I Saw Sadie Kissing Santa Alien”

A Christmas Carol for Non-Earthlings by Sadie Malone

“Would it spoil the mood if I asked what happened to Lord C’don?”

“It is impossible to spoil my mood.” Xane carried her into the really lux stateroom, apparently unconcerned about the fate of the Vipri. “Not even with the mention of that deceitful asshole.”

Sadie was pissed off at the duckling too, but still… “You didn’t kill him, did you?”

Xane endeavored to look hurt at the accusation. “Of course not. I knew you would disapprove of such an action, no matter how justified it would’ve been.”

Sadie arched a brow, waiting.

“Last I saw, Lord C’don and his heir were alive and well.” Xane assured her. “There is no need to fret over their fate.”

“You could’ve taken them with us when we left.”

“I could have. …But I didn’t want to.”

Sadie supposed that was fair enough. “Well, once Lord C’don gets a power crystal thingy, he can repair my spaceship. He and Jynn will escape on their own. This will be a good lesson for them.”

“Exactly. A few decades of hard work and they’ll be fine.

” Xane dropped her onto his bed. “Corono will be a much more habitable planet, now that Vice-Corporal Siganthum-Rycen Lonel Lonel is dead. If you wish, I can have Hathgarr send men there and enforce any orders you desire. No more slave market. No more blue salt mine. Nightly tavern singing for all. The planet is yours to command, wife.”

All of those ideas sounded pretty good, actually. She wanted to make Corono better for the people who didn’t have handsome aliens to whisk them away. Without that damn octopus to oppress everyone…

Hang on.

Her head tilted. “Vice-Corporal Creepy Guy is dead? ”

“Yes.”

“What happened to him?”

Xane loomed over the bed, looking down at her with intense turquoise eyes. “Exactly what happens to all men who threaten my wife.”

Sadie beamed. “Did you kill that asshole for me, babe? You did , didn’t you?” She clasped a hand to her heart. “Oh my God, that is so sweet!” She shifted herself up the mattress to make room for him. “You’re for sure getting lucky tonight.”

“This means sex?”

“This means so much sex. We’re moving on to the advanced class of my lessons.”

“Good. Show me what you desire.”

“I desire you.” Sadie told him honestly.

He gave her a slow smile and started unfastening his pants.

“You have me. What else? I have seen illustrations of how to mate with non-robot women, but they weren’t drawn with human anatomy in mind.

The scale of you is,” he held up two of his fingers to represent a very small gap, “tiny. We must proceed slowly and with caution.”

“Uh-huh.” That totally wasn’t going to happen. She watched with deep interest as he undressed. Every time she saw his naked chest, her breath caught. “You have the most incredible body. I’ve been lusting after you since we met.”

He blinked. “You have?”

“Of course! Can you blame me? You’re all muscles and bigness .” She fluttered her eyelashes at him. “I like that in my man.”

His smile grew wider. “Your man.” He agreed.

“I don’t want you to think I’m shallow or anything.

I’d totally be married to you, even if you were one of those weird mailbox aliens.

But-- my lord -- am I happy you look like you.

” She stared up at him. “I don’t know a lot about your customs or preferences or anything.

Do you have any places you don’t like to be touched? ”

He climbed onto the huge bed, snagging one of her ankles to pull her towards him. “My body belongs to you. Do whatever you want with it.”

“Really?”

“Touch me everywhere , wife.”

Sadie didn’t have to be told twice. She scrambled into a sitting position so she could run her hands over his shoulders. Her finger squeezed his massive biceps, barely making a dent. His arm was thicker than her thigh.

“Wow.”She whispered.

Xane chuckled, but most of his attention was on getting her naked. Her ugly Christmas sweater was yanked over her head and tossed to the floor, quickly followed by her pants and underwear. He was wasting no time in stripping her and all four of his hands were in on the effort.

Sadie trailed her fingers up to touch his face. Her thumb traced his lower lip. He had the most gorgeous mouth, and he loved kissing. He never seemed to get enough. Sure enough, Xane dipped his head to cover her mouth with his. A low groan rumbled out of him as her lips parted.

She couldn’t get enough of him either.

“When most men get a wife, they don’t let her out in public for weeks.

Did you know that? They just keep her to themselves, fucking her to exhaustion, again and again.

Sometimes they tie her to the bed the entire time.

I begin to see the appeal of this plan.” He lowered his head to suck one of her nipples into his mouth.

Sadie gave a small whimper, desire snaking through her.

“You like the idea, too.” He gently nipped her skin. “My little human captive.”

“I think we’re both captured. It’s not like I’m letting you escape me, big guy.”

“You couldn’t get rid of me if you tried. I would crawl back to your side, even if I was dying.” He eased her down onto the mattress, so she was lying beneath him. “I am always with you, Sadie.”

She gazed into his eyes. “I’m always with you, Xane.”

“I know.”

“I want this to be good for you. Do whatever feels right, okay? I’ll help if you get uncomfortable or stuck. Your first time should be really special.”

“Everything is special when I’m with you.” He kissed her lips, then the base of her throat, the space between her breasts, slowly moving down her body. “Are you still amenable to me licking your essence? I know it might seem shocking to…”

“I’m so frigging amenable.” Sadie interrupted eagerly.

He chuckled and kissed the curve of her stomach. “Never mention to any other Rtaharion males how agreeable you are to trying wicked things. I will have to fight another war to keep them all away from you.”

“I’m only agreeable with my Rtaharion.” Sadie assured him. “My body is yours, just like yours is mine. You can do whatever… Oh my God! ” His tongue licked her core, and all thought vanished from her head.

“I have longed for this.” He breathed against her swollen flesh. “I knew you’d taste of honey.”

Sadie wriggled beneath him, heat building.

Xane held her still, his huge palms cradling her hips.

His tongue was rougher than a human’s, creating delicious friction with every pass.

She instinctively reached for something to hold onto, as she writhed beneath the onslaught.

Her hands hit his wide horns, because they were huge and right there.

Her fingers curled around them, gripping hard.

Xane gave a sound of carnal bliss.

Were his horns sensitive to touch? Good to know.

Sadie began running her fingers up and down their hard surface, trying to make the movements as erotic as she could.

Her concentration was kind of scattered, though, due to her husband’s mouth turning her into a sobbing, desperate, basket case.

For a virgin, he was really, really good at this.

Tension curled inside of her, much faster than she would’ve thought possible. “Xane!” She was already so close to the edge. Small tremors were shivering through her body, as she tried to hold on. “I need you now.”

He made a hungry sort of sound, reluctant to give up his feast.

Sadie couldn’t wait. “Now, now, now.” Using his horns as handles, she yanked him up. “I need you inside me, right now .”

With a snarl of lust, Xane moved back up her body. “Are you sure you’re adequately prepared? I am…”

“Yes!” She parted her legs, yanking him even closer. She could feel that peppermint essence stuff soaking her. It felt amazing . “Please.” She whispered desperately. The man was driving her to the edge of madness.

She was apparently doing the same for him.

“I want to feel you coming all around me.” His voice was guttural. “But, if it’s too much, tell me. I don’t want to hurt you, and I’m very far gone.”

He was able to form sentences, so he was still doing better than her. Her whole body arched off the bed, as he entered her, her mouth open in a silent wail of pleasure. Even with the additional lubricant he was adding, she was stretched full to bursting, and he was barely inside of her body.

“Are you well?” He choked out.

“I’m… amazing.” She had never felt so powerful and so claimed, at the same time. “Keep going. We got this.”

He surged deeper, and they both moaned in pleasure.

Shocked turquoise eyes found hers, like Xane wanted to be certain this wasn’t some fantasy playing out in his head. “How can this feel so good?” He pulled back slightly so he could push back in, deeper than before. “You truly are the most magical being in the universe.”

She would have responded to that, but she couldn’t quite remember how to talk. He pressed deeper into her, hitting just the right spot, and Sadie came hard.

“Holy gods!” Xane breathed in awe. “Sadie! Holy gods …” His head went back in a roar of satisfaction, as her climax triggered his own.

The force of his release filled her body to overflowing and kept her own orgasm going.

Sadie screamed, her legs wrapping around his hips.

She rode out the endless waves of pleasure, swept up in the sensations of her husband.

His touch and smell and taste and the sounds he made and the way he looked at her like she was the most precious person in the world.

Her body finally went limp with satiated exhaustion, a smile on her lips.
