Free Alien Romance: Hunter: Space Commander's Fated Mate (Space Beasts Book 3) by Alyssa Ezra

“About two people destined to meet?” 
     
    Her brow furrowed in thought. “Like soul mates? Uh… It’s… Well, it’s something we all hope for, but a lot of people dismiss it. Most people dismiss it, myself included.” Juliet had never been the romantic type, something that was an issue with her previous relationships, but that was something she didn’t seem to worry about Zalgar. She could be honest with him and how she felt without feeling judged. In fact, the more he got to know her, the more proud he seemed of her.
     
    “On Rolq’thos, it’s the same,” he said, “But it’s also different. We all look for it. It’s something we all hope for. But not everyone gets it in this lifetime.” Zalgar paused, then pressed a long kiss against her lips. “When we find that person, we just know. Instantly.”
     
    Juliet felt butterflies beginning to fly around in her stomach. Where was he going with this? “How?” she struggled to ask, clearing her throat, “How do you know?”
     
    He smiled softly, trailing a finger up her arm and to her shoulder. “Your smell,” Zalgar said, “That was how I first found you. It was like I was a starving man coming across the scent of a hot meal. I couldn’t help but follow, and then I found the crash, and you…” Juliet swallowed a lump in her throat. If he hadn’t… Smelled her… She would have died at the hands of that Dwynlin. “Once I met you, I didn’t want to stop touching you. I still don’t.”
     
    Her head started to feel light as Juliet became hyper-aware of just how much they were touching in that moment, of how much they had touched since she first met him. What are you saying, Zalgar?” she asked, her tone breathy.
     
    “I’m saying we were destined to find one another, in one lifetime or another, Juliet,” he replied, “And it may be some lifetimes before we find each other again. So let’s just have tonight, hm?”
     
    Juliet found herself nodding. God, she could imagine some guy at a bar using that same line, but in that moment, she believed him. Zalgar never once lied to her, and there was something…
     
    Something in the fact that she hadn’t been able to resist touching him either, had taken over her heart and mind so quickly. And he’d known it, even hinted at it from the beginning. He knew their connection and thought her resistance was nothing short of hilarious.
     
    Zalgar was gentler than the day before, and Juliet wondered if it was because this was a goodbye until the next time they saw each other, in some other lifetime. She hoped that it would be easier, that they would get more time together, in the next one. Lifting her hips, she helped him discard her shorts. His hand remained between her legs, fingers finding her clit quickly.
     
    Her hips pushed up into his hands index and middle finger rubbed over her nub in long, slow circles. “I want to hear you beg again, Juliet.”
     
    She whimpered, giving into what he wanted. “Please, Zalgar… Please don’t stop. I want more…”
     
    He smirked, lowering his hand further, teasing her entrance. She was so wet for him, and Juliet wondered how that had happened so quickly. Her fingers pulled at his hair in desperation, crying out into the night air as his fingers entered her.
     
    His exploration was measured and patient, trying to find Juliet’s most sensitive spot. When Zalgar found it, her breath hitched in her throat, fingers digging into his scalp. He paid special attention it after that, rubbing at the best angle possible to hit it over and over again, curling his fingers.
     
    Juliet felt herself begin to spiral out of control, her hips writhing like a wild animal. Though they were outside, she didn’t care that she was loud, crying out her orgasm into the night sky. Zalgar eased her down, withdrawing his fingers when she started to settle down again, only to pull her shorts completely off.
     
    Juliet looked down at what he was doing, her expression
