Free Dante’s Command: Scifi Alien Abduction Romance (Science Fiction Alien Romance) (Survival Wars Book 1) by Hana Starr Page A

how could he not be? She was brilliant and strange and a
pure delight, with that odd human sense of humor.
     
    Her honey-colored hair was merely a bonus on top of that, as
was the curves of her form which he thought might cradle him much better than
the comparative flatness of his people. So many nights recently, he wrestled
with himself while trying to sleep in his captain’s chair. She excited him so
much throughout the day but at least he could distract himself with his men and
his duties, but at night? She filled his mind, so exotic with that light skin
and those unnatural eyes…
     
    But, he was a male. He did not have the breeding privileges
that females had. He could not simply choose his own mate. He had to be chosen.
And as a lowly male, the lowest of the low who was now in a position of
punishment, his likelihood of ever being chosen to mate with anyone was
astonishingly low. Though he was aware of the difference in parts between him
and a female, and the essential basics, he had never even touched a female
before meeting her.
     
    And now she was here, her body pressed close to his, her
mouth on his. Her lips were so hot compared to his, although he certainly felt
a great deal of heat gathering in his member. He was throbbing, so hard he
feared she could feel it, so hard that he worried he would burst straight
through his clothes.
     
    “Mariella,” he tried to say, weakly, but his lips only moved
soundlessly against hers. She took the encouragement, and gripped his shoulders
harder. He very nearly lost control of himself, his hips trembling on the very
edge of bucking himself against her….against her…
     
    This temptation went against everything he had ever known to
be good and right. But, neither could he shove away the advances of a female.
Females were everything, were the future of his kind, and no woman had ever
been more key to that future than Mariella. He dared not offend her. He dared
not resist.
     
    And she felt so nice…
     
    His control weakened. But he didn’t know what to do,
reaching weakly out to her, but not knowing where to grab. He couldn’t think,
not through the magic of what her silky-wet lips were doing against his. All he
could do was shudder.
     
    After an excruciating eternity, she stopped and looked up
into his eyes. Rather, she tried to. He closed them immediately. The sight of
those gorgeous blue jewels would surely make him…
     
    “Dante? What’s going on?  Don’t you…Oh. You don’t like me,
do you?”
     
    He opened his eyes then, just in time to see rejection flood
across her face. Her grip on him loosened and she was about to step away,
clearly hurt and disappointed.
     
    “No!” he burst out, and grabbed her wrist so she couldn’t
leave. It was the first time he’d grabbed someone, and he was terrified of
hurting her but he couldn’t let her leave like this. “Mariella, no! I do like
you! I like you very much! I just don’t…know what to do.”         
      
    “What do you mean?” she asked. He saw some of her curiosity
return, and took a deep breath to try and combat the pang of sexual attraction
deep in his loins. “I mean that you…That I…This isn’t how we do things!” He
struggled to explain. “The female chooses a male who is worthy. I am not.”
     
    She just looked at him. “But, I’m choosing you!”
     
    “But I’m not worth it!” he pleaded, so embarrassed and
confused.
     
    And then he was nothing but surprised, her finger pressing
against his lips. “Isn’t that for me to decide?”
     
    And then, there was nothing else to say as she replaced her
finger with her lips again. He held still, shaking and about to shatter apart,
as her lips moved over his, rubbing and caressing. Her breasts pressed to his
chest, and he felt hard points dragging friction against his clothes. Hands
roamed, touching all over him, from down between his legs, around to his butt,
caressing up his back muscles…
     
    Parting his lips to
