Chapter Three

(Macie)

I’m falling for an alien.

I know, you must be looking at me like I’m crazy, but it’s true. I tried my best to hate Xanrun over these last couple of weeks and I made good on my threat to try to kill him, several times, but each time I attempted to take his life, he ended up stealing a piece of my heart instead.

He’s a Torian warrior—my enemy—and yet, he treats me with the upmost respect and has never tried to harm me since breaking into my clinic. All he seems to want is a safe place to hide out and food to eat. Oh, and he wants me as well. I’m not an idiot and I see the way he looks at me when I’m not looking. Hell, he looks at me that way even when I’m looking at him, smirking as he does, like he doesn’t give a shit that I see him checking me out.

At first, it annoyed me to a point where I would lash out at him, but Xanrun is a masochist because he likes when I get mad at him. Fighting with me seems to be his favorite pastime and considering we’re stuck down here, waiting out the end of the world together, I can’t really blame him. There’s nothing to do here besides banter with each other. And I won’t admit it to him, but I love interacting with him as well. He’s opinionated, funny, and stubborn. He challenges me at every turn and that fact alone turns me on. I’ve never met a man like him before and I know feeling this attraction to him is wrong, but I can’t help it when it feels so right.

Xanrun has flirted with me constantly since day one, but unfortunately, he has yet to touch me like he did when I first attacked him. I shiver at the memory, remembering his lips at the back of my ear, kissing the sensitive area just below the lobe of my right ear. I remember how wet I grew when his breath and lips made contact with my skin and my nipples harden at the memory.

“It turned you on, did it?” Xanrun whispers into my ear, scaring the shit out of me. I try to turn around, but his hand holds me in place as he moves his body closer to mine until I feel his growing hardness pressing against my ass. My cheeks are flaming in embarrassment and arousal and Xanrun chuckles knowingly. “I remember that day as well, Angel. I remember how your body came alive with only a slight touch of my lips.” As to prove his point, he brushes his lips against the shell of my ear and moans when my body shakes with need.

“H-How do you know what I’m thinking?” I stutter out, my eyes rolling into the back of my head when Xanrun moves his hands up to my breast and cups my left tit into his hand. He doesn’t squeeze it, but just the feel of his hand, cupping me with possession, is enough to drive me crazy right now.

“You don’t want to believe me, but I was telling the truth when I told you about Torian’s imprinting on a mate.” He kisses the side of my neck now, trialing soft, feather-like kisses up and down my neck. “When we touch our true mate, or they touch us, a bond is instantly made and cannot be broken, no matter what. I’ve never heard of a case of a Torian imprinting with a member from a different planet before, but I somehow bonded to you, Angel.”

“So what?” I ask, grinding my teeth to keep back the moan that wants to break free as he keeps kissing me. “Since you mated with me, without my consent, you can now read my mind?”

“Yes, my mate.” Xanrun says, but not out loud, but somehow in my head. My eyes widen in fear, but he holds me tightly in his arms and my heartbeat instantly calms down. “See how I just calmed your fear, Angel? I can do that because our bodies and minds are becoming one. As we spend more time together, our bond will continue to grow stronger and we’ll be able to do many other things. For example, I’ll be able to know where you are, at all times, and when you’re in danger, I will know and be able to find you.” He turns my body until we’re facing each other and Xanrun strokes my left cheek lightly, affection shining through his eyes. “I know this scares you, Angel, because it scares me too. But I know me getting wounded wasn’t by chance. It was fate. My injuries brought me to you, my mate, and I would get injured all over again, knowing I had such a sexy doctor to take care of me.” He smirks and wiggles his eyebrows at me, making me laugh and relax in his arms.

“How can this possibly work, Xanrun?” I ask, voicing my worries for the first time. I raise a hesitant hand up and cup his face, my heart soaring when he closes his eyes and leans against my hand before he places a sweet kiss on the inside of my hand. “Your people hate mine, and visa versa. We’re technically enemies. And yet,” I sigh and drop my hand from his face. “And yet, I can’t stop thinking about you, Xanrun. You consume all my thoughts and I’m beginning to trust you. Does that make me a fool? To trust someone who I barely know?”

He shakes his head. “No, Angel. We’re bonded, so time does not exist for us. We have been destined to meet each other since before we were born.” He presses his forehead to mine and smiles. “Our hearts know each other, even if our minds and bodies do not yet.”

“So…you want me as much as I want you?” I question, biting my lip nervously.

He chuckles and his glowing blue eyes somehow become brighter. “Oh, Angel, I want you so much more than you want me. I’ve been having dreams of you lately and every time I see you, I want to make those dreams become a reality. And every time you do that.” He stops me biting my lip by grabbing my lip and pulling it gently away from my teeth. “I imagine how good my swollen shaft would feel in that pretty little mouth of yours.” I blanche at his words, but my core tightens with want. “I can’t wait any longer, Angel. I need to taste your lips on mine.” Xanrun doesn’t say another word and surprises me when he collides his lips against mine in a punishing and passionate kiss.

At first, I’m scared to kiss him back, until his lips open my mouth up and his tongue comes into contact with mine. After that, I’m lost and kiss him back with just as much fire and urgency as he’s showing me.

Xanrun grabs me into his arms and I wrap my legs around his waist, moaning when he presses his hardness against my warm core. Instead of going to the bed, like I assumed he would do, he slams me against the wall and attacks my mouth as he removes the tank top I’m wearing. We rip each other’s clothes apart until we’re both as naked as the day we were born and when Xanrun runs his swollen member up and down my wet lips, I bite his neck and he growls out his pleasure.

“Fuck, I can’t wait to sink inside of you, Angel.” he hisses, still teasing my opening with his hardness. “I’m afraid this isn’t going to be slow and gentle, like I imagined it would be in my head. I need to take you hard, Angel. I need to show you who you belong to and how much I want you.” he thrusts hard up into my channels and I scream as my inner walls squeeze around his manhood. Xanrun doesn’t give me a chance to adjust and instead, he holds both of my wrists against the wall, as he shoves into me with reckless abandon. “You feel so fucking tight, Angel.”

I groan at his words, loving how he doesn’t call me by my name and prefers to use his nickname for me. His shaft moves fast and brutal inside of me and my channels are tightening around him with pleasure. He feels so full inside of me and when he hits my sweet spot, I whimper into his neck.

“You like that, Angel?” he asks me, thrusting up against that spot, again, and again, and again, until I’m a sweaty mess and I’m a breath away from coming apart around him. He pulls out, almost all the way, and leaves me quivering and begging him for release. He kisses my lips softly before he leans his head away and gives me a look of determination. “You’re going to come apart for me, Angel. And I’m going to keep pounding until you until you’re screaming my name and only when you break apart a second time, will I allow myself to come deep inside of you, marking you as mine for the first time.”

He slams into me and I do as he said I would, I fall over the edge and my screams pierce the room, echoing around us. He doesn’t stop his movements and continues to slam into me until I’ve come down from the most powerful orgasm I have ever had. And even when I’ve come down, he continues his sweet torment on my body until I’m shaking and ready to fly over the edge again.

“I’m going to come again.” I cry, my walls beginning to tighten around him, so close to coming.

“Damn right, you are.” he growls out, picking up his pace. “And I’m going to fall over with you. Come for me, Angel. Now.” he shoves up into me one last time and I scream, my channels closing around his manhood and he comes inside of me in a roar. My core milks his release and I swear this orgasm lasts longer than my first one.

Xanrun empties himself into me and we both pant heavily, still pressed against each other against the wall. When we’ve both come down completely, Xanrun kisses me on the lips and carries us to the bed. We both lie on the bed, wrapped in each other’s arms, and breathe in each other’s scent. When my eyes grow heavy with sleep, he kisses my forehead and tightens his hold on me, as if he’s afraid that I’ll disappear at any moment.

“You’re mine, Angel.” Xanrun says, cupping one of my breasts into his hand. “I don’t care what our future holds, you are mine and I’m never letting you go. And if you try to run from this, I will chase after you and I will bring you back.” he bites my neck, like I did to him earlier, and smiles. “You. Are. Mine.” he repeats again.

I nod my head sleepily. “And you’re mine, Xanrun.” I say telepathically, which causes Xanrun to tighten his arms around me and I know for a fact he’s grinning like a loon right now.

I know, because my smile is mirroring his right now.

For the first time since the invasion, I’m happy.

I should’ve known it wouldn’t last long.
