“You were hired to find me, but you’re not going to turn me in?”
Grux nodded and then sat down next to Scarlett on the grass. “Um, yeah,” he said. “I know it sounds odd, but I don’t want to do that to you. I want to keep you safe, and I know that being with them isn’t safe.”
Grux could barely come up with a reason as to why he was doing what he was doing. He had growing feelings for her, which was undoubtedly a part of it. He had never felt so keenly for someone. It was as if when she hurt, he hurt in an endless loop of empathy.
She nodded and continued rubbing at her wrists. “I’m sorry I spat at you.”
Grux smiled and then shrugged. “It’s a good tactic,” he replied. “You got away faster than anyone I’ve ever had to chase.”
She smiled at him. That was a good sign. “Is that so?” She half-smirked.
He lifted a hand to her cheek, and she leaned into his touch. Scarlett closed her eyes and kissed his palm, sending a pleasant shiver up his spine.
“It is so,” he said. “Not many humans could keep up with a Lorrian.”
Scarlett giggled. She took him by the neck and brought his lips to hers, pulling him on top of her on the dewy grass. Grux lost himself again, feeling his cock harden beneath his pants as her breasts pushed against his chest.
He desperately wanted her, but he had to make sure she was okay with everything first before they made love. He could sense the heat between her thighs, though, the way her leg wrapped around his waist and pressed hard against him was enough to drive him mad with wanting.
Chapter 4
Scarletthadjustbeenscared for her life, but all she wanted to do was get fucked under the shade of that spectacularly large tree. He said he wasn’t going to take her back to those horrible people, and for some reason she couldn’t quite put her finger on, she believed him unequivocally.
Perhaps the horniness blocked her rationality.
She tried reaching down to unbuckle his pants when he was on top of her, but he stopped her, a hand over hers.
“Scarlett, wait a minute,” Grux murmured.
She was tired of waiting, but she stopped as he’d asked. He rested his handsome face on her breasts, kissing them with such delicacy she had to bite her lip again.
“I want to make sure everything is okay before we…” Grux trailed off.
Scarlett smiled at him. It was endearing to see such a handsome man look sheepish.
“Before we fuck?” she quipped.
He grinned and then kissed the part of her breast where her areola began.
“Yes, that exactly,” he replied. “My father will want to know your story, and I think he can empathize with it. We will protect you from anything and anyone.”
Scarlett felt a flicker of fear move through her body as he lay on top of her. The fog of arousal was diminishing, so rationality was finally able to have its say.
She didn’t really have a choice at that point. She could try to flee from Grux again, which would be fruitless, or she could go with him. She believed him when he said he didn’t want to hurt her or return her to those horrible “employers.” But that didn’t mean everyone hadherbest interests in mind.
They found their way back to where Grux was staying and then proceeded to make their way to his ship. The trip didn’t take long for a vessel with decent FTL engines.
Scarlett was nervous, despite not really having a reason why. She had spent her entire life being cautious of strangers. She only really trusted them when she was intoxicated and absolutely desperate for another person’s touch. Even though she was looking for someone to spend her life with and was hoping it was Grux, taking her back to his planet to meet his father was a few steps ahead of where she wanted their relationship.
They landed on Lorr and immediately went to meet with Grux’s father. He lived in a mansion that looked like a blend of the Wizard of Oz and the Disney castle squished together. They walked into his chambers, which also looked like she had just stepped into some kind of animated feature film.
“Son!”
A man who looked like an older carbon copy of Grux sat at a large, black desk. He wore a golden crown that nearly blew off his head when he stood and took Grux in his thick, tree-trunk arms.
Scarlett had to take a step back to clear the area of their embrace. It was heartwarming and made her feel a little less apprehensive about things to come.
“I am so glad to see you!” Grux’s father exclaimed.
