Alien Breed

It was the only time I have seen Zakar scared. Yes, something happens to him when he is near certain frequencies.

But that’s all I know. It’s not a science. It’s just one observance, and I could be wrong.

She sighs. “Well, the network is shot to hell. The cables are frayed. The only guy I trust to fix the power has turned against us.”

“Then we must escape before Zakar does. The fuel is in the first team’s starship. We must be careful.”

We’ll leave tomorrow morning, early.

She glances at the exit to the upstairs, but she’s smart enough to know the stakes.

“If I stay, you’ll protect me? You promise to keep me alive?” she asks.

I move closer to her. Caressing my palm underneath her chin, I look into her eyes. “If you stay, I will do anything for you.”

She brushes my palm away, but she stays near.

I look like a monster because I am a monster. But she will learn to love me.

As much as I want to fuck her pussy into submission, I need to make sure we can survive.

I want to save her, but Zakar’s greed is stronger than his genetics.

He will find us.

And when he does, I’ll find a way to end him for good.

Spending the night with a possessive alien is not what I planned to do when I got to Avalon.

No, I did not think I would have to nuzzle against this beast’s chest to find warmth in the middle of the night. I sure as hell didn’t envision that same alien to be butt-ass-naked.

I didn’t expect him to be so… chiseled.

And warm.

And… okay, he’s not that bad. For a killer, he’s actually kind of nice.

I can’t believe I’m thinking any of these things. It’s the obvious wrong choice of words, but they flow on their own accord.

Yeah. This caught me off guard. Between Fassbender’s betrayal and this, I’m not sure what to think.

Part of me is terrified. Another part of me thinks this is the smartest route to take.

I mean, honestly. Fassbender has the crew hostage. Halloway ran away, and I really have to wonder if he’s coming back.

If that alien didn’t save me, I’d be dead.

“I had no one growing up,” I mutter.

His eyes are closed, but I can sense that he’s a light sleeper.

A groan reverberates from his massive sternum. “Hm?”

“On Earth. I never really had a family,” I say. “I’m not what you think I am. I’m not like everyone else. My experience was different, too.”
