What if... What if it didn’t just have to be sex between them?

Hadn’t Delilah and Sahin started out similarly? Hell, they hadn’t even been able to communicate for several days, and now they were mated and having a baby together.

They were happy and in love.

Would it be so bad to hope for the same kind of happiness? She only wanted to escape this planet because she felt as if she didn’t belong here. That if she had children, they’d be taken away.

But now…

Ezul was a fierce warrior and a protector of his people. He wouldn’t let anything happen to her. Would he? He’d already proven he was capable of keeping her safe.

Ezul’s eyes met hers over the swell of her breasts, and she could have sworn compassion shown in his gaze before he nuzzled her chest.

“You are required to serve a year,” he muttered, glowering at the mention of her returning to the harem. “You should have listened when I told you to return. You may be in trouble for your absence. I am a warrior, not a politician; I am unsure what I can do to keep you from punishment.”

She made a face, some of her hope fading until she realized he hadn’t told her ‘no’. Licking her lips, she switched up her tactic. “If I’d done that then you never would have tasted me.”

He groaned, crawling back up her body and kissing her tenderly. “Nothing is sweeter, Cordelia.”

“You never would have fucked me,” she reminded him, though she didn’t think he needed it.

Ezul smirked, nipping her lower lip and sucking. “Now I long for nothing else but the feel of your tight cunt drenching my cock.”

“Your barb never would have locked inside me,” she added smugly, though she still didn’t quite understand anything about that particular trick of his.

A purr emanated from his chest. She relaxed immediately, feeling content and exhausted all at once. She swore that the rumbling sound even helped keep the effects of the pollen from overwhelming her.

Or maybe it had been all the sex. Either way, she was grateful to him. Grateful and sleepy.

“It seems like I made a good call ignoring you yesterday.” She yawned, collapsing into a little puddle of spent lust when his purring increased. “I think I like when you purr for me,” she whispered.

His face softened, the delectable purr in his chest increasing in volume. “Sleep, Cordelia, and we can discuss our return tomorrow, once I’ve found a way out of this cave.”

Her eyes closed, a soft sigh escaping her when Ezul’s fingers brushed her face gently. His warm body was like a blanket as he lay down beside her, gathering her close until he was spooning her protectively.

“My barb is only for you,” he murmured under his breath a few minutes later when she was nearly asleep. “I will never crave another.”

Cordelia’s eyes popped open, unsure if Ezul had intended for her to hear his rather insane claim.

He didn’t plan on being with anyone but her?

He must have struck her with more than just lightning because her heart beat rapidly in her chest, excitement stirring to life at his bold statement.

A slight movement out of the corner of her eye had Cordelia tilting her head toward the ceiling in confusion, unsure of what she was seeing. Another quick movement from high above and the dark object began a quick descent, long legs spiraling toward them.

A horrified scream left her throat, and Ezul rolled her abruptly, shielding her body with his as a leiling fell from the roof of the cave, nearly crushing them with its large body.

She couldn’t look away from the huge spider. It was just as horrifying as she remembered!

It was massive, standing several feet above them. Dark brown fur covered its body, eight legs surrounding a fat center, and its face looked oddly human, with pincers instead of lips covering a gaping hole in its face.

A high-pitched screech sounded from the creature, its pincers snapping in their direction, and Cordelia screamed again.

Ezul leapt up from the ground, black mist surrounding her before he launched himself at the creature.

Cordelia hadn’t seen Ezul fight the leilings last time, but her screams died off when he grabbed one pincer and wrenched, ripping it clean off, gray globs of flesh slapping onto the ground.

Another hideous screech came from the creature, and Cordelia heard a thud of several heavy objects landing somewhere nearby.
