Her orgasm hit so hard, she screamed, and Hunter took her mouth, stifling her cries as she rode the pulses of pleasure.

“You feel so good. Better than I remember. Better than all my fantasies.” Hunter thrust hard, pumping into her. “You’re perfect.”

Cleo held on tight as his breathing grew erratic. “I really love you, Hunter.”

He groaned. “That’s the sexiest thing you’ve ever said to me.”

“You feel amazing inside me.” She reached down and clasped his cock, loving the feel of them joined.

“Fuck! I can’t hold back any longer.” His breathing became shaky and his thrusts rapid.

“Don’t! I need you to fill me up.”

Hunter groaned as he released. He remained where he was, deep breathing as he kissed Cleo’s shoulder.

A lump formed in her throat as he slid off her and pulled her against him. A tear trickled from the corner of her eye.

Hunter kissed it, then trailed kisses down her cheek and onto her neck before he wrapped his arms around her.

She’d never felt so wanted.

“I’m right here. Even though I can’t stay, I’m never leaving this.” He brushed his fingers across her chest. “You’ve captured my heart completely, my beautiful human. I am totally in love with you.”

“You’re in my heart, too,” she whispered. “But you’re going, and you could die.”

“I can’t die now I know you’re mine, and you want me. I’ll fight to earn my place by your side again.”

“You have that place. You don’t need to prove anything to me ever again.” Cleo buried her head against his chest and let the tears fall. Her guy, her amazing alien warrior, was leaving just when she’d found him. But they had this. And she’d hold on to this memory like her life depended on it.
