Page 36 of Axon’s Lust

What was I thinking? This baby should be all that matters, and I would love this child more than anything in the world.

I was pregnant, and I was very happy.

Regardless, I was going to keep my baby no matter what happened between Axon and me.

It seemed like only yesterday the data on my desktop screen began to mess up while an alien ship was hovering over the city.

It all must have been meant to happen for a reason. I mean what if I hadn’t been on that ship? What if I had been left alone in my home and pregnant with an alien baby? It could’ve been a disaster.

Now all that’s left is to tell the father of my baby.

***

This is it,I thought to myself as Axon came to bring me dinner. I was feeling a little nervous. He walked in and silently placed the tray on the table before smiling at me, nodding and then heading back towards the door.

“Axon?” I called. He turned around enthusiastically, a hopeful gleam in his eyes.

“Yes, Jennifer? What is it?” he asked, stepping towards me.

“I need to ask you a question, and you have to promise to tell me the truth,” I said urgently, coming closer to him. “Can I trust you to do that?” I asked, and he nodded readily.

“Yes, I promise with all my heart,” he said.

“I have to know if my being on the ship really was a mistake. Was it planned? Did you know the Captain was going to leave Earth so you could take me back here?” I asked.

“I swear to you, Jennifer, it was a mistake. It was not planned at all. We were there to warn you about the Compiers and that’s it. The Captain wouldn’t jeopardize our relationship with the humans by taking one of their top females so blatantly,” he swore. “I would never lie to you about this,” he assured me.

I was quiet as I mulled over his answer, but it made sense. Why would they take me if they were trying to hide the fact they were taking humans in the first place?

It was now my turn to tell him the truth.

“Axon, I need to tell you something,” I said, and his face looked concerned. “Axon, I’m pregnant. I found out earlier today. The healer said I’m carrying a Revian child, and it’s yours,” I revealed.

His eyes widened as he took another step closer to me.

“Jennifer, are you sure? Are you sure?” he grabbed my hands inside of his ever so gently. I nodded, tears pooling in my eyes. He grinned so wide before picking me up in his arms and spinning me around. “Jennifer, I am so happy! You have made me the happiest Revian!”

He put me back down and pressed his lips against mine, kissing me so deeply and passionately that I melted against him, kissing him back with equal fervor.

This. This felt right.

Finally, he pulled away and looked at me.

“You are happy about this, yes?” he asked, his forehead etched with worry as he gauged my reaction. “Do you want to have my child with me?” he asked again, and I nodded vigorously, my tears finally spilling over my cheeks from joy.

“Yes,” I breathed. “I do, Axon. I love you. I want to stay with you on this planet and raise our child together,” I declared, and he smiled wider.

“Then Jennifer Rose, will you marry me? Will you enter into a union with me? Will you be my wife?” he asked.

“Yes, yes. To all of it, yes,” I said.

“I love you so much, Jennifer.”

He pulled me back to his chest and kissed me again, my hands moving up and down his lavender and purple arms. He was such a beautiful alien creature, and I missed him so much. His large hands moved up and down my back as well, and I could tell he was just as hungry for me as I was for him.

“Will you stay with me?” Will you stay the night here?” I asked.

“Yes, I will stay with you, but not here,” he said, shaking his head.

“What do you mean?” I asked, confused.

“I’m taking you home with me,” he whispered. “To our home, where we belong together.”

He picked me up in his arms like a bride and carried me out of the bungalow and down the path. I wrapped my arms around his neck to keep from falling, and my eyes widened as he pushed open the door to another bungalow three times the size of mine.

“This is your home?” I gasped, looking around in awe.

“This is our home,” he corrected, kicking the door closed behind us. Then he carried me through the main living area and into a back room where I saw a large bed in the center.

He laid me gently across the bed before kissing my lips softly, letting out a growl as I nipped at his bottom lip. He stopped and put one large hand gently over my belly before looking at me with undiluted happiness.

“I’ll have to be gentler with you this time. Not ravage you like I did before,” he said.

“Yes, you must be very gentle,” I said, giggling. “But not less passionate.”

He laughed and began to kiss my body inch by glorious inch as he undressed me before taking off his clothes and crawling into bed. We made love that night like two souls who longed for each other for years.

It was a celebration of our love, and at last, my search for happiness had finally ended.
