She smiled when she finally decided on what to do. “I don’t want you to touch me, okay?” She looked expectantly at him, half expecting him to deny her request.

Dragon’s breath hissed out from between his clenched teeth. “I promise to try as long as I can to honor your request. Please…” he groaned. “Put me out of my misery. I need you so much.

I am in pain from it. Please.”

She reached out and swiped her finger across the weeping head, picking up the pearly bead.

She brought it slowly to her mouth and closed her lips around her digit. Liz closed her eyes as she relished the taste of him. His essence tasted sweet and salty. She couldn’t think of anything Fated Mates

possibly tasting as good as he did.

Dragon’s breathing changed to panting. “Please, don’t torture me like this. I want to keep my promise to you. But you don’t know what you are doing to me.” Liz could see a sheen of perspiration break out all over his body from the force of his control. She moved over him and straddled his hips. He reached out to cup her breasts, and she slapped his hands away. “Don’t touch.”

Dragon growled at her, but dropped his hand to his sides. His gaze burned hotly as it roamed her body above him. He was so erect she didn’t need to guide him as she slowly lowered herself on his hard cock. Her body stretched to accommodate his size as inch by inch filled her to completion. He threw his head back and groaned low and hard. His hips arched to aid his body’s invasion of hers.

She loved how full her body felt with him inside her. He looked up at her with such love it made her breathless. She loved how he gritted his teeth and how his hands were fisted in the blankets to keep from touching her like she’d asked. She rocked her hips back and forth slowly; her clit brushed his body with every movement. Her walls quivering around his cock as the tension built toward an orgasm.

“Oh, Liz. You feel so good. I need to touch you.” His voice rough with passion.

She looked down at him hotly and ran her hands slowly up her stomach to cup her breasts.

“Are these what you want to touch?”

“Your nipples,” he gasped. “Pinch them between your fingers.” Liz took her thumb and forefinger and rolled her erect nipples between them, pinching them hard enough to have lightening sensations shooting directly to her pussy. She groaned at the increased intensity, arching above him and undulating her hips faster, riding him.

He moaned and groaned uncontrollably beneath her, throwing his hips upward to meet her thrusts. His head thrashed from side to side on his pillow. His hands moved to grasp the wood on the headboard, his knuckles turning white with the strength of his grasp.

She knew he was on the edge, but trying to hold off his release until she reached her peak 48

first. This new sexual power thrilled her. Not only thrilling but also freeing, she knew she could be herself sexually with him.

She let one hand drift back down her stomach and vigorously rubbed her clit. “Or is this what you want to touch?” The tension in her body increasing, her body, ready to snap, started thrashing uncontrollably.

Dragon let out a roar as his orgasm seemed to start in his back, working its way to his balls before exploding out of him. Wood groaned and snapped as he threw his hips upward spurting his cum within her pussy in crashing waves.

His orgasm triggered her own; her body spasmed and shook above him. Her inner walls squeezed and tightened around him, milking him of every drop of his precious cum.

When her body finished, she collapsed onto his chest gasping for air. Their hearts pounded in unison after what they had experienced. His arms clasped her to him in a steely embrace. Who knows how long they lay there, Liz was at peace listening to the beating heart of the mate.

The gray light of dawn brightened through the window signaling to her she was probably going to be late for work if she didn’t hustle out of bed and get ready. Liz sighed and rubbed her nose against his chest trying to breathe in his scent, so she could remember it while at work.

Dragon traced the curve of her cheek and the line of her chin. “Come to me,” he whispered while gently putting pressure on her chin to look up at him.

Liz smiled dreamily at him when he grasped her chin and pulled her in to sweetly kiss her lips. “I think I came for you quite a few times.” She leaned down to kiss him again, but he stopped her just before she reached his lips.

“If we continue this, neither one of us will be getting out of bed today.”

“I know. I’m probably going to be late on the last day of school. But it was worth it.”

“I too must get back to my ship and see to my duties.”

“How does this work? Will I see you later?”

“Nothing could keep me away from you. The hours apart won’t seem as long because I know I have you waiting for me.”

Liz was never so happy to get up and go to work in her life.

* * * *

Work went by in a blur, with all of the questions about her mate and the mating mark; she barely had time to get her work done before the bell rang at three. She hugged everyone and wished them a happy summer. She felt a bit sad not knowing if this was the last time she would be seeing any of her colleagues again. She and Dragon hadn’t gotten around to talking about the future. Liz chuckled. They really didn’t do a lot of talking at all.

She couldn’t wait to get home. She planned to cook him a wonderfully romantic meal and have it waiting for him. She might even meet him at the door naked. Liz giggled at her newfound brazenness. She always wondered how it felt to feel totally happy and now she did and it totally lived up to the hype!

Liz turned onto her road and waved at Mrs. Soares doing some gardening in her yard. In the next yard, another neighbor waved hello to her and another neighbor in the next.

“What is going on here?” She muttered waving back.

Come to think of it, looking around the neighborhood, people were everywhere doing something in their yards. Turning into her driveway, Liz smiled when she realized the cause of the activity. There, in her front yard, was Dragon on his hands and knees replanting flowers that were crushed last night Her mate was creating quite the stir, she couldn’t blame them. She could stare at his body twenty-four-seven and never get bored. Liz shivered despite the heat. The man certainly had a wonderful ass.

Liz grabbed the groceries and waved to Bernice from across the street. Bernice waved back and returned her attention to her phone conversation. If Liz was a betting woman, she’d bet the person on the other end of the line was her mother. She sighed. With everything going on, she totally forgot to call her mother and tell her what happened. The “Bat-line” had been activated; it wouldn’t be long before her phone started ringing with calls from her mother, sister, and brother.

I’ll deal with them later

Looking at her mate’s ass was starting to get her panties moist. This morning seemed so long ago and her body wanted him again. Her body would have to wait though. She and Dragon needed to talk, specifically about where they were going to live. Liz needed to know so she could make arrangements for her job, her house, and her family.

She walked up and placed a kiss on his check. Liz’s stomach flipped at the welcoming smile he gave her. “What a beautiful sight you make, planting flowers in my yard. I could get used to this every day. If I knew you were waiting for me, I would have gotten home sooner.” Dragon chuckled and went back to digging in the earth to plant the last of the flowers. “I’ve been feeling horrible all day. All of the beautiful flowers in your yard were destroyed during the concussion blast from the Tessa-jump last night. So I thought to surprise you by replanting them.

I’d hoped to be finished by the time you came home from work but your neighbors have been extremely welcoming. They have been coming over and congratulating me on our recent matching. How was your last day of school?”

Hmmm. More likely my neighbors were trying to get a closer look at the best piece of male
ass this quiet street has ever seen.
“It actually flew by knowing I was going to see you again.” She paused for a second unsure of how to say what was on her mind. Thinking the band-aid method was probably the best, she blurted out, “We have to talk though.” He rocked back on his heels and looked at her intently. “It sounds serious.” Suddenly nervous, she started fidgeting and playing with the plastic grocery bag.

Dragon covered her hand and led her over to sit down on the steps with him. “Hey,” he said tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. “There should be nothing to be nervous about. Just tell me what is troubling you and we will fix it together.”

She looked down at their entwined hands and wondered where the nervousness was coming from. She finally realized she had a true partner now. Someone to go through life sharing everything with, she no longer had to be “the strong one” in the relationship. She now had someone to lean on, in good times and in bad.

“I was wondering where we’re going to live. Will we be living on the star cruiser or Fated Mates

Serralia? Would you consider living here on Earth?”

She saw Dragon let out a breath he probably didn’t know he was holding and anxiety cleared from his gaze.

“Is that all?” he whispered quietly.

Liz dragged her hands away from him and looked at him indignantly. “What do you mean?

Is that all? It’s an important question.”

He grabbed her hands back and dragged them to his mouth for a kiss. “I apologize. I know this is an important question to you. Know as long as we are breathing, I don’t care where we live as long as we are together. Your happiness is the only thing I care about.” Liz’s eyes filled at his thoughtfulness.

“I will tell you I resigned today. A star cruiser is not the type of place for us to live. Also, I have waited for too long for you only to be sent away on other missions.”

“Okay. So it leaves us either Serralia or Earth.”

“Would you mind, if we lived here on Earth? I happen to really like this planet and there is nothing left for me on Serralia. Here on Earth, you have a job and a family. I don’t want to take you away from them. A curiosity deep within me wants to see the place of my ancestors. What I will ask, is if you were to permit me to buy us a bigger house? We will at least have to get a new bed because I am sure this morning I did irreparable damage to the one upstairs.” Liz felt all buttery inside thinking about their lovemaking this morning. He was right, they were going to need a new bed. Dragon then placed his large hand against her abdomen causing her stomach muscles to contract and she momentarily lost track of their conversation. Her mind getting foggy from the desire blossoming within her body.

“When your body grows ripe with my child, I want you perfectly happy. I’m sure having your mother close to you will be a comfort during that time.” She laughed nervously. “Pregnant? Do you think we created a baby last night?” Mentally, Liz did some quick calculations. If her calculation was correct, now was the perfect time to conceive.

Dragon’s hand lifted and gently cupped her cheek, “I don’t know what I did to deserve this happiness, but I accept the gift and will cherish it forever.” Liz threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck. “You are a wonderful man.” She could feel his hard cock poking her in the stomach. He was aroused and she had an idea.

Liz looked up at him lovingly, her fingers making lazy patterns up and down his chest.

“How about we go inside and I show you my appreciation for these beautiful flowers you planted for me?”

“Hmmm, that sounds nice,” he said dipping down to kiss her lips. “But I need to take a shower and wash this dirt off me.”

“I have an idea. How about you go get started in the shower. I have a few more things to take out of the car then I’ll meet you there and wash any hard to reach places.” Dragon’s gazed burned hotter. “Don’t be long.” He turned and walked into the house.

Liz practically skipped getting her things from the car. She dumped everything in the living room, heard the shower running and smiled thinking of all the wicked things she planned to do to him.

She started removing her clothes when the doorbell stopped her in her tracks. Oh shit! It must be Kevin with the cats.
Fuck, I totally forgot he was coming over.
She sighed and rebuttoned her shirt, glancing toward the bathroom. Hopefully she could get rid of him quickly.

The doorbell rang again with a sustained ring. The fucking bastard was leaning on the bell.

Apparently, she wasn’t answering the door fast enough for him. Now that she knew what real love was, she couldn’t believe she’d stayed with him so long.

She threw open the door ready for a fight. “There is no need to keep pressing the doorbell. I heard you the first time.”

Kevin pushed his way in, carrying the cat carrier. “Yeah, well I got tired of waiting at the door. Amy’s in the car, so I don’t want this to take forever.” She held her hand out for the cat carrier. “Fine with me, give them to me. You don’t want to keep her waiting. Didn’t she trust you to come alone or is she worried you’ll do to her what you Fated Mates

did to me? I hope at least, you left the windows opened a crack. It is hot outside.” When he saw the mating mark on her outstretched palm, his face turned a dark shade of purple. “You bitch. I can’t believe you actually did it. You let an alien touch you,” he spat.

Liz took the carrier from his hands and placed it on the floor. Both cats ran out looking for a place to hide. Some things never changed. They always went running for a hiding place whenever he started to raise his voice.

She wasn’t going to allow his hate and anger to taint the beauty she had discovered. “You listen to me, you prick. Dragon is three times the man you are and I won’t allow you to spew your hate in my house. Get the hell out. Know this, today will be the very last time I will ever talk to you. I am never going to acknowledge your existence again. I am Serralian now and they consider Earth marriages a pale comparison to being Mated. You are nothing to me. I should go out there and thank Amy for taking you off my hands. Now get out. I never want to see you again.”
