Free Victoria and the Alien Doctor (Intergalactic Brides 2) by Jessica Coulter Smith

pulled a bottle of water from the mini-fridge and took a long drink. A hand slid around the back of her neck and she dropped the bottle with a squeak.
    “Easy,” Xonos crooned, placing a kiss on top of her head. “I didn’t mean to startle you.”
    “I’m sorry I woke you.”
    “I didn’t hear you get up, but I felt your absence. Odd, since I’ve slept alone for so long, but within a week of being with you, the bed suddenly feels empty without you in it.”
    Victoria turned and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head on his chest. His deliciously naked chest. Her body burned at the thought that he was naked everywhere… if she just had the courage to strip those pajama pants off him. From what she’d seen and heard, Terrans didn’t believe in underwear. He’d been teasing her every night since he first brought her here and probably didn’t even know it.
    “Xonos… you desire me, right?” She felt his cock pulse against her and smiled.
    “You know I do, Victoria. Why are you asking?”
    She leaned back enough to look up into his eyes. “What if I asked you to let that iron-like control snap for once?”
    “You don’t know what you’re saying. Trust me. You want me in control of myself at all times.” His eyes darkened and the bulge in his pants grew, far more than she’d thought possible.
    Oh yeah, she definitely wanted him to lose control. Maybe she’d have to take things into her own hands. She’d never seduced someone before, but something told her it wouldn’t take much to get him to break. At least, she hoped it wouldn’t. The slight touch of his hands as they rested on her shoulders was enough to make her shiver. If something so innocent was enough to weaken her knees, what would happen when he had his hands elsewhere on her?
    Victoria licked her lips, feeling a thrill run through her when he traced the movement. It made her wonder if he’d ever kissed anyone before. He’d told her that his encounters had merely been a way to expel some energy and frustration, but he’d left out all the details.
    “Have you ever kissed before?” she asked. Was that her voice? That low, throaty, sultry sound?
    “No.” His gaze was fastened on her mouth, and she went up on tiptoe to press her lips to his.
    Victoria felt him stiffen against her for a moment before wrapping his arms around her, lifting her so he could kiss her more thoroughly. For a man who’d never done it before, he sure seemed like an expert. His tongue swept into her mouth, drawing a moan from her. The kiss was deep and delicious, making her want even more. The seductive push and pull of his lips on hers made her nipples harden.
    Xonos drew back, but only long enough to sweep her into his arms and carry her back to their bedroom where he used his hip to quietly shut the door, then set her down on her feet. His dark purple gaze was intense as it bore into her. Slowly, as if waiting for her to stop him, Xonos reached for her top and drew it over her head, letting it fall to the floor. He maintained eye contact as he stripped the rest of her before letting his gaze caress every inch of her.
    Victoria shivered from both the chill and the unbanked passion blazing in his eyes. With shaking hands, she reached out tugged his pants down, letting them land around his ankles. She sucked in a breath at the impressive sight of him.
    Oh lord! That’s definitely more than a handful… or three .
    “I won’t hurt you,” he said, mistaking her silence for unease.
    “I trust you, Xonos. You’re just… so big. I have to admit, I’m not entirely convinced you’ll fit.”
    “I’ll fit.” He smiled. “All Terrans run a bit bigger than your human males. None of the other mates have had a problem, so I’m confident you won’t either.”
    “I know you’ve been with… prostitutes before, but I don’t know how much you’ve experienced in the bedroom,” she said.
    His smile broadened. “Not to worry, sweet mate. I’ve studied the
