Mated to the Alien King: The Complete Series: A BBW SciFi Alien Romance (Captured by the Alien King Book 12) (22 page)

"Yes. Yes. Yes." And I still did, even though my first orgasm was still shaking my body. He positioned himself so that his cock was pressing at my entrance. My body was still spasming and convulsing, the waves of bliss hitting me over and over.

He didn't wait for me to finish and pressed his way inside me. We both groaned at the sensations. It had been so very long. He filled me up completely and I lay there as my body shook, enjoying the feeling of having him so close.

Soon he was thrusting into me and I felt the heat start to build again. Abruptly he pulled out and flipped me on to my stomach. He pulled my hips up so I was kneeling and I felt him line up to my tender flesh and sink deep inside again.

"Yes," I groaned.

His hand came around and played with my hard little nub that was still sensitive from the first orgasm. But in a minute, the passion grew and the feeling of him pounding into me from behind along with his hand stimulating my clit was too much and I came again.

As soon as he felt me go, he pulled out and rolled me on to my back again, thrusting back in and barely skipping a beat. The walls of my sex squeezed and contracted around him as my climax ripped through me.

He bent his head and sucked on one of my breasts. I moaned, unable to believe that my body was still able to respond after two orgasms. What had he told me once?

My body was capable of far more than I knew, if I would just let go.

He was pounding into me, looking for his own release but the angle he was hitting as he drove into me again and again was stimulating all the right places. Every slam of his pelvis into mine electrified my clit over and over.

I let go of all rational thought. I let go of what was possible for my body. I let go of everything and just trusted Dar. Because I loved him. I loved him so much my heart ached. I loved him so much.

As we gazed into each other's eyes, my third orgasm exploded inside me, the most powerful of them all, by The Three.

I screamed and it seemed like I couldn't stop coming. My body shuddered and the ecstasy rolled over me. Dar stiffened and pressed his hips hard against me as I writhed in pleasure under him. Then he completely collapsed.

My breath was coming short, he was so heavy, but I loved the feeling of his weight on me.

A moment later, he rolled us both over so that I was on top and he was still inside me.

I laid my head on his chest, glad he hadn't pulled out right away. I loved feeling him inside of me and knowing that he was here with me — all of him.

"I love you, Kenna." he said, running his hand down my back and relaxing completely beneath me. I felt limp. There was no way I could move, even if I wanted to. After three mind-shattering orgasms, I probably wouldn't be walking for a week.

"I love you, too, Dar. I need you so much. I had such a hard time doing without you when you were gone." I felt a tear leak out of my eye. It had been so hard.

He lifted his head so he could kiss my forehead.

"Never again, Kenna. I'll never leave you again. I promise."

"How can you say that, Dar? How can you know?"

"Because we're going to be together forever," he said, totally serious. Then he added, "My mother said so."

I laughed then and rolled off of him, making a little sound of sadness when we came uncoupled. I pressed my naked body all along the length of his and laid my head on his arm.

"Speaking of which..." he said, his eyes suddenly becoming more alert. I held my breath.

He rolled over onto his stomach, leaning on his elbows so he could look me in the eyes. Our left hips were side by side. I scooted up on the pillows, feeling wide awake and a tiny bit nervous.

"Kenna..." He started. Then he trailed off, looking puzzled. Maybe I was wrong about what I thought that he was going to do. "Do you have a middle name?"

Where had that come from?

"Yes."

"It's important. I need to know it."

"You do?" He nodded vigorously. I shrugged. "My full name is Kenna Alessandra DeAndrea."

He looked a little skittish.

"It's beautiful."

"Dar? Are you all right?" He placed a finger on my lips, silencing me.

"There are traditions that must be upheld," he whispered. Then he spoke in his usual voice with a tone that was quiet but strong.

"Kenna Alessandra DeAndrea. You have been with me in my most painful moments. You have loved me with your body, your mind, and your spirit. You have given more than a woman should have to give in order to be with me." He paused then and touched my scar.

"I love your intelligence, your beauty and your talent for bringing life, whether it's with plants, people, or me. I love how you make me mad with desire, and how you have been there for me whenever I've needed you. I want to do the same for you for the rest of our lives."

I held my breath and searched his eyes. He meant it. Every word. I knew the truth when I heard it. He kissed my forehead, then my right cheek, and then my left — a triangle, of course.

"Kenna Alessandra DeAndrea, would you do the very great honor of marrying me?"

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. My breath was coming too fast and I was feeling too much. I couldn't answer. The words wouldn't move past my lips.

"Kenna?" he said and then he looked worried. Shit. When was he not going to doubt my love? When you stop hesitating at important moments, you idiot, I chided myself.

"I'm overwhelmed, Dar," I said, truthfully, still unable to say the words that I wanted to.

"Overwhelmed because you don't want to marry me and you don't know how to tell me?" he said, looking sick to his stomach. "I think I might have grossly overestimated your feelings for me if that's the case."

I closed my eyes. This was all falling to pieces because I was a chicken shit.

"Darvish Shu'in," I said, opening my eyes again. "Sorry, I can't remember all the other ones."

He didn't say anything just waited for me to go on.

"I have loved you almost since we first met. You have made me more me since the moment I met you. I love how you make love to me. I love how you drag me around the galaxy on your crazy adventures."

He grimaced but I didn't stop.

"Okay, maybe you don't drag me with you, but I tag along." I smiled, going on. "I love waking up next to you and feeling happy because you're there. And I swore when you lost your memories, that if I ever got you back, I would never ever take you for granted again."

His eyes got a soft look in them and he took my hand.

"Will you give me a chance to show you how much you mean to me, every day for the rest of our lives? Will you let me wake up next to you so that I can appreciate you every single morning and thank The Three and God and whatever other deities were involved in bringing my curvy ass all the way across the galaxy to find you?"

He smiled and squeezed my butt.

"Will you marry me, Dar? Even though I don't say the right thing at the right time and you keep wondering if I care about you. Will you let me prove it once and for all by marrying you, so that you never have to wonder again? Will you?" I said and then waited, my heart in my throat, for his answer.

"This is very unconventional," he said, instead.

I slapped him on the arm.

"If you wanted a traditional female, you shouldn't have fallen in love with a human," I said. "Now answer, damn it."

"You first," he said, smiling now. "You feisty thing. I asked first, so you have to answer first."

"Is this what being married to you is going to be like?" I said.

"I hope so," he said and then laughed. I loved to hear it.

"Okay, okay. I'll marry you. What about you? Will you marry me? I answered, now it's your turn."

"I will marry you, Kenna," he said, leaning in for a brief kiss. "With all my heart."

Then he moved over and pressed our scars together. I gasped and saw stars. The shot of energy blasting through my body was incredible.

"Dar," I panted. "What was that?"

"That was the feeling of a love vow being sealed with our scars, Kenna."

"I'll get engaged all over again if we can do that one more time," I said, still unable to process how good that had felt. "It's almost as good as sex with you. And that's saying a lot."

"If you want to get engaged again, we can do it again, Kenna," he grinned. "Whatever you want, sheeranla. Whatever you want."

The next morning after some hot, wet shower sex, Dar had brought us breakfast in his room. I thought he was hoping to get lucky again but he was just being romantic.

"I guess we can let your mother announce our engagement at your cousin's wedding," I said.

Dar turned a thousand watt smile on me.

"I guess we can," he said. "Hey, you know what?"

"What?" I said, tucking into my toast and scrambled eggs. He said it was weird to eat bird ovum, but he got it for me anyway.

"I wrote myself a note one night when I had my memory back for a few hours."

"Yeah?" I said, not really paying attention. I was so starving these days. It seems I could hardly get enough to eat. "Are you going to eat that?"

I could not believe I was offering to eat his weird animal meat. I had been eating on Susohn for some time and I still could not get used to the fact that their meat is blue.

He frowned. "No, I'm done."

"Can I have it?" I said.

"Sure." He handed me his plate and I tucked in. "I wrote myself a note that said: Propose. Propose now. Don't let her get away or you'll regret it the rest of your life."

I stopped eating to stare at him.

"You wrote that to yourself?"

"Yep. But I didn't want to act on it, especially since you were adamant that you weren't going to get engaged to me when I didn't know what I was getting myself into."

He grinned at me.

"Well, see? Full disclosure," I said, taking another bite of the weird meat and trying not to look at it before I put it in my mouth. "I wanted to make sure you were going in with your eyes wide open."

He laughed.

"Indeed."

"I have something to tell you," I said, finishing the last bite and pushing my plate away.

"What's that?" he said, looking interested.

"Well, I've figured out what I want to do with my life, other than marry you and give your mother grandchildren. Wait a second. They will be our children, won't they?" I said, suddenly nervous about what strange Susohnnan child-rearing customs I might not be familiar with.

"Yes, Kenna. Of course they will be our children," he said, rolling his eyes. "Now, what were you saying? About what you want to do with your life?"

"Well, you're a king and as much as I've loved zipping around the galaxy with you, it's really not much to build a life on. Once we're settled somewhere I can grow things. Herbs and medicinal plants, you know?"

He nodded, his face lighting up.

"I would prepare them the way my Gran taught me. I would be a medicine woman, I guess," I finished, looking at him nervously. Would he say I was ridiculous? Would he laugh? I hoped not.

He looked absolutely joyful.

"That sounds wonderful, Kenna. And you would help people heal the way you helped me on Dobu and the way you healed Elara's eczema?"

"Exactly," I said. "I would feel useful, like I was doing something good with my life. Do you think I could do that?"

"Of course. I think it's amazing. I know some people on Susohn that can teach you about the plants that grow there and of course you can have a greenhouse. You already know about growing Earth plants in other environments, so you would just have to figure out Susohn. We'll get you whatever you need."

"You sound more excited than me," I said, laughing. I felt better about the future than I had in a long time.

"We've made nearly all the repairs necessary and we just need to restock and take on more crew on Susohn. Then we'll be ready to hunt down that..." Jakk stopped himself from swearing but it was a near thing. "That space squid and the last alien ship that's hiding out there. We'll be arriving on Susohn in an hour or so."

"That's perfect, we'll be getting off there, then," Dar said. "Kenna and I have a wedding to plan and a garden to grow."

Dar put his arm around me and I caught a wistful expression on Elara's features. Her glance darted to Jakk and then away again. She was hanging around at the back of the crowd on the bridge and she faded as we continued to talk.

I made a mental note to go talk to her before we got left the ship. I wondered if I would ever get to see her again. It would be a dangerous mission, hunting down those aliens.

"You're engaged?" Jakk said, a smile spreading across his face. "Congratulations, Dar."

He made the sign of The Three and then slapped Dar on the back and kissed the triangle of The Three on me — one kiss on the forehead and one on both cheeks.

"You're invited, for sure," Dar said.

"Great. Hopefully, I'll be back in time."

Or at all. It was unspoken and we were thinking it, but we all ignored it. The congratulations kept coming in, but finally I was able to slip away to find Elara.

I poked my head into the library. Elara was sitting in one of the reading bubbles but she wasn't reading. Her eyes were red and she was rubbing her nose.

She'd been crying.

"Hey," I said, softly. "Are you okay?"

She smiled sadly.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Congratulations."

"I'm sorry, Elara."

"You're sorry you got engaged? Well, maybe you ought to break it off then," she said, trying to make a joke. "It's just that I wish..."

She didn't finish, just laughed self-consciously and dropped her eyes to the floor.

"We all do, you know. I was once in your shoes. I thought I'd never find someone like Dar, who would love me. It still feels like a crazy miracle that I can't quite believe, Elara."

"Really?" she said. And she looked so young when she gazed up at me like that. It was an illusion, surely, because with that much schooling behind her, there was no way that she was as young as she seemed. Still, she had an innocence about her that was charming. I was afraid someone would hurt her and make her cynical and jaded.
