He moved into the cooking area, one that held their preserved meats and their heating elements, and opened up one of the lower drawers in the built-in stone shelving. They might have been an advanced race with superior spacecrafts, but Rylan and his brothers didn’t need technology in their dwellings to be comfortable.
They preferred a simpler life, one where they hunted for their food, killed the beasts with their bare hands, and built the items in their home. It was somewhat primitive living, but it suited them, and they felt warriors should live off of what they acquired by sheer strength and willpower.
He grabbed the small silver disk that was no bigger than a pebble, the injector, and set the items on the counter. He rested his hands on the smooth, cold surface and breathed out. She was really here, the female who was to be their mate, and he couldn’t even describe the pleasure that brought him.
It didn’t take very long for him to sense her emerge from the bathing chamber. He turned and stared at her wrapped only in that hide, and the sight of the beads of water slipping down her curvy form had his pulse pounding at the head of his dick.
Rylan may have been versed in many languages and wanted to tell her how gorgeous she looked to him at that moment, but the language she spoke was not something many species learned. It was a primitive and nearly extinct dialect. That was why she must have the translator injected in her so she could speak with them in their native language. His female’s eyes widened as she stared at what he held.
Once he inserted the translator into her neck, she’d be able to understand their language and then know where she stood with them. He stopped right before he reached her and held his empty hand out for her to take. She eyed it at first, very hesitant, but that was smart and to be expected. He was, after all, a predator, and if she wasn’t afraid of him and didn’t listen to her instincts, then she wouldn’t have made a very good mate at all.
He gestured with her to come closer with a curl of his fingers, and after only a few seconds, she slipped her hand into his much larger one. As he pulled her close so only an inch separated them, his cock jerked behind his leathers at the scent of her. Gone was the subtle scent of her sweat and the dirt that marred her perfect body. Now what was left was the fresh aroma from the cleansing beads.
The hide did nothing to conceal the large mounds of her breasts or the fact that her nipples were erect. He wanted her desperately, and the urge to breed with her ran him hard. Lifting his hand to gently cup the side of her face, he tilted her head to the side and pressed the injector to her skin.
She started to breathe heavily, and the scent of her fear filled his nose like the sulfur that rose from the ground. Fortunately, she didn’t move.
When he slipped the disk into the chamber, the injector lit up a brilliant white, and before he let the anticipation of what he was going to do fester inside her, he pressed the end of the cylindrical pen, pushing the disk into her neck. A sharp cry left her, but he already had the needle removed from her flesh.
She rubbed the spot and watched him with wide eyes. He knew the translator worked instantly as it dissolved into her body and traveled to her brain, and he stared at her for several long moments. The color of her eyes was a startling blue, a shade he had never seen before. His planet only had dark shades and the shocks of red that covered their land, but he had traveled the galaxy enough to have seen a wide range of colors.
But her shade of blue was by far the most alluring color he had ever seen.
Her hair hung over her shoulders and down her back in thick, wavy strands of golden brightness. It reminded him of the horizon right before the sun rose.
“Are you hungry?”
She swallowed and lifted her hand to her throat. Yes, she obviously realized what he had done and that was the reason she understood him clearly. After a few seconds, she shook her head.
She licked her lips and looked around. “You put a translator in my neck?” He knew the question had been rhetorical, but he nodded regardless. She still rubbed the spot he injected, but the small puncture wound healed as soon as he removed the needle thanks to the healing gel that it emitted after insertion. She knitted her brows and finally asked, “What now?” dropping her hand back to the hide and tightening her fingers around it.
