CHAPTER 18
SPELLBOUND
Dargus leaned back against a crate, crossing his arms over his jacket-covered chest.
What is taking her so long?
He had gone through his shopping list twice and had double-checked the remaining amounts of 3D colors and materials in the non-food replicator, and Lia was yet to join him in the cargo hold. How long did it take to don a pair of trousers, a vest, and a jacket? The traditional freelancer clothing was specifically designed for quick dressing and undressing and for complete comfort of movement.
Not that the quick undressing feature had helped him some half an iona ago. He had been so close to sliding into Luvian paradise, to solidifying the sacred bond with his true mate… Alas, he had been cocks-blocked again, this time by the Funk’fruvian Consortium.
Such great luck you have this planetary rotation, Dargus.
“Iamlucky!” He had found his true mate and had tasted her ecstasy on his tongue all in one planetary rotation. “Aren’t I the luckiest Luvian in existence, Cubbie?”
Cubbie sneezed. He was perched on a nearby crate, which already bore evidence of the many times the rabbisaurus had dug his claws in the hard artificial wood to climb on top.
“Ah, my precious furball.” Cubbie leaned in when Dargus scratched behind his ear. “Those horrid replicated cushions are going in the garbage shredder, I promise.” Though they bore a special meaning to Dargus after he had half-claimed his pumpkin on them.
Blessed Three.She had been so responsive in his arms, so soft and pliant, so… perfect. The sechiona she had kissed him, he had lost control.
He had always wondered how he’d do with a female who was with him forhim, not his credits. He had been worried he’d freeze and fruck up. Clearly, he had worried in vain.
Once his instincts had taken over, he had brought his Lia to completion not once but twice. Sure, the first time his primary cock had gone off in his trousers along with her, but who could blame him? Seeing Lia come, hearing her call out his name, feeling her blunt claws rake down his back, smelling the perfume of her desire? He was only Luvian.
Cubbie’s chirrup made Dargus realize he had gotten lost in his head. He resumed scratching his client. “Sorry, furball. I’ve got love on my mind. You know how it is.”
Cubbie angled his head until Dargus’ partially extended claws were scratching under his fluffy chin.
“By the way, thank you for rolling out of the nestroom when things got heated. When your mating season comes, I’ll find you the wildest rabbisaura on the intergalactic pet web. Scratching and biting guaranteed.”
“Sounds sexy.”
Dargus’ hand paused mid-scratch. As his gaze slid along Lia’s outfit, his tail froze mid-swing.
The knee-high boots, the black pants, the red sleeveless vest – everything fit her like a glove. Accentuated every curve, every dip, every delicious part of her that he had explored with his mouth and tuft. The unbuckled jacket of black leather imitating ponchukha skin completed the devastating look. And the way Lia had pulled her hair up into a messy bun? Dargus barely resisted the urge to go nip at her bare neck.
If he hadn’t been completely spellbound before, he was now. Lia was made to be his. His mate, his partner, his everything.
You’re staring again, Dargus. Stop being a creep and say something nice.
“You look… Um…”
“Like a tiny copy of you?” she suggested with an amused smile and walked further into the cargo hold.
“Yes!”That’s a good thing, right?
“Why, thank you.” Lia curtsied. “You clean up nicely yourself, Dar the Scourge of Space Scum.”
He barked out a laugh and stepped closer. “Ready to go shopping, pumpkin?”
“Am I ready to browse alien shops filled with alien goods sold by aliens on a planet other than Earth? Sure thing.”
His tuft caressed her hand at its own volition, responding to the anxiety in her voice. “No need to worry: everyone coming to Funk’fru is considered an alien. You’ll fit right in.”
“Really?”
“You’ll have to always be by my side, however,” Dargus said more seriously. He didn’t want to scare her, but he had to warn her. “Funk’fru welcomes everyone willing to spend their credits here, with a criminal record or not. A unique beauty such as yourself could give certain individuals bad ideas.” When her eyes filled with fear, he wrapped his tail around her wrist and quickly added, “Only if you look unmated and unprotected. You’ll be safe by my side, Lia.”
