My hands travel down Aria’s curvy, naked body.

I love her form, her shape, the softness of her skin, the paleness of it.

I love every damn thing about her.

I even love the way she snores, though she vehemently denies doing so when I tell her. Her body is on top of mine, and she is still in a deep, deep sleep.

Considering how long we mated last night, I can’t blame her for it.

Our conversation last night was wonderful. I’ve never been this honest, this vulnerable before… and it felt good. I’m happy Aria trusts me enough to share her own burdens with me.

When I think back to her story, I get angry all over again.

I was there, when Earth was attacked. I was on my father’s ship, watching powerlessly as the humans were slaughtered. My father could have stopped them, could have thrown the full force of the Zoran fleet into the battle…

But he didn’t.

“Not our fight,” he said. “We are not humans. We are not them.”

If he had intervened, Aria’s sister might not have been taken. I tried to fight, but he knocked me out cold before I could do so with a cowardly strike from behind.

I squeeze my mate’s round, firm ass, and some of the anger dissipates. Aria is my own personal stress ball. She mumbles in her sleep and cuddles up close to me, and I hug her tightly.

Her scent surrounds me. My mate is so much stronger than she thinks. I understand she blames herself, and that she wants to do something, but she’ll have to learn how to forgive herself.

As a Zoran, I know how hard it can be. Our home world was destroyed. I know what it’s like to be powerless.

Luckily, I don’t feel that way when I’m around Aria.

When her toes curl, her breath quickens, and she begs for my cum, I feel more alive, more powerful than ever. There’s nothing better in this world than watching your mate orgasm.

That’s why I did it five times last night.

The memory alone makes me hard again, blood rushing down to my cock in an instant. It doesn’t take much to make me hard when I’m around my mate, even though we mated until the sun was almost about to rise again. My body is ready and eager for more, but I know Aria needs her rest.

She can only take so much.

With my fingertips I draw circles on the small of her back, as I watch her sleep, peaceful and serene.

My com beeps, breaking the silence. I press a button to ignore the call. Not now. It can wait. I want to enjoy this moment for as long as lasts.

Awakened by the sound, Aria slowly opens her eyes.

“Morning,” I say, kissing the top of her head.

“Good morning,” she whispers. “I don’t want to get up.”

“Then don’t,” I say, wrapping my arms around her. I hug her tightly, my fingers digging into her skin. I never want to let go.

She shifts her weight, and chuckles when she feels my hard cock pressing against her naked body.

“What’s this?” she says as her hand slides down and she runs her fingers up my hardness. “Still not tired yet? Not even after last night?”

“My cock will never tire of you,” I say with a smirk. “I am always ready.”

She grips my cock and squeezes the base.

“God, you’re so damn big and hard,” she says. “It’s crazy.”

“Be careful,” I growl. “You are awakening the beast.”

“Oh, and what will the beast do to me?” she coos as she moves her hand up and down. With her other hand she pulls the blanket away, and my cock stands up straight, fierce, hard and throbbing.

I can hear her mutter to herself under her breath how she still can’t believe how big I am, or how well I fit inside of her, and her words fill me with pride.

With my thumb I tilt her chin upward before planting a big kiss on her lips. She moans softly as our lips touch, and the sweet sounds spur me on.

“The beast will punish you.”

“How?”

“By filling you up.”

Her eyes widen, her pupils dilating.

“With every inch?”

“With every inch,” I growl.

Her hands move faster now, stroking me up and down so quickly they are a blur. My fingers grip the sheets.

“It won’t fit.”

“It can and it will.”

“What if you hurt me?” she says, biting her bottom lip.

Fuck, she’s making me so damn hard.

“Should have thought of that before you awoken the beast,” I growl.

“I want to see you come,” she says, her voice barely a whisper. “I want to see it.” Her brown eyes are filled with lust.

If she keeps up her pace, it won’t be long before I come all over myself. She sees the look of pure arousal on my face and nods.

“Watching you explode is the hottest thing ever,” she whispers right into my ear.

Oh fuck.

I can’t hold out a moment longer.

One hand grips the bed sheets while the other finds her ass, squeezing her hard as my orgasm hits me like a supernova. I come hard, shooting my seed up high in the air.

Aria sits up and smiles broadly, watching with a mixture of fascination and lust as I shoot rope after rope of my hot, Zoran cum all over her hands and my own abs. Her hands keep moving, not leaving my cock until I’ve fired every drop.

Pure pleasure reaches every fiber of my beings, and I revel in the post-orgasmic bliss. I pull her in for a deep kiss.

“Thank you,” she whispers. “That was amazing.”

“No, thank you,” I chuckle.

Her cheeks are a fiery red, matching my own red, Zoran skin.

“I love watching you come. Is that weird? It’s just superhot to me.”

“Not at all,” I say. “We love what we love… and I happen to love coming as well, so, I think it works out.”

She nods, a sly smile on her lips. “I want it on me next time… is that okay?”

My cock throbs with arousal at the thought of coating my mate with my seed. I’ve been fixated on coming inside her and filling her womb, but now that she’s suggested it, I can’t wait to fulfill her fantasy.

“Where do you want it?”

She glances down towards the mess she made — there’s cum all over her hands and my abs, and now I see there’s also strands of the hot goodness all over her legs as well.

“Everywhere,” she whispers, looking back up at me, a wanton look in those gorgeous brown eyes of hers. “My tits, my stomach, my ass, my… face… if that’s okay,” she says with a nervous smile. “I can’t explain why, I just think it’s hot.”

By Zora, what a wonderful mate I’ve found!

“Because it is hot,” I growl as I kiss her again, nipping her bottom lip. “I have more than enough cum to cover you with, to fill your womb, to spray on your gorgeous tits, your round ass or your beautiful face, whatever you desire.”

My cock responds in turn, this wanton conversation already filling me with lust, even though I just came. My member stands up straight with cum dripping down the side, ready for more.

“Fuck,” she breathes, her fingers gripping my member again, spreading the seed all over my hardness. “I don’t deserve you.”

“You deserve nothing but the best,” I say, grabbing the back of her neck with one hand and kissing her deeply.

“Let me guess: That’s you?”

“You’re damn right,” I smirk.

My com beeps again — more incessantly this time. Not now! Not ever again! I want nothing more than to stay here in bed with my mate, to kiss and fuck and mate and cum and eat her out and taste her juices and fill her with my cock and fill with my cum and cover her with my seed and lose sight of the world, of obligations, of commands and missions and planets and uniforms.

I just want to fuck for all eternity with my fated mate.

Is that too much to ask?

I grab the device and throw it against the wall, shattering it into a thousand pieces. The beeping sounds dies away, and I focus my attention back on Aria’s tongue which is in my mouth.

“Shouldn’t you get that?” she asks between kisses.

“Fuck them,” I respond. “Fuck the mission. I want you.”

She places her hands on my naked chest and pulls back.

“What are you saying? You are the general. I thought your command meant the world to you.”

“You mean the world to me,” I answer. “The rest is just background noise.”

“Oh Dost,” she sighs.

A heavy knock on my door ruins the moment.

“General!” Trent says from the other side. “Are you there?!”

Damn it.

Aria rolls off me, despite my protests. “Go,” she whispers. “They need you!”

My mate’s right.

“I’m here,” I answer. “What is it? Is it urgent?”

“The HF Boomerang, sir! She’s under attack!”

“Under attack?!” I growl. “How? By whom?!”

“We don’t know! The attack…it seems to be coming from inside the ship!”
