Chapter 14

Belle got ready for bed while Khann ventured to his ship to retrieve a few personal items. As she went about her business, she couldn’t help but marvel at her energy levels. Today was the first day in ages that she hadn’t had to take a nap. How strange it was, she mused, to suddenly go from death’s door to perfect health. Her heart warmed at the thought of Khann. She had him to thank for her complete recovery.

She took a quick shower, brushed her teeth, and dressed in a pair of warm pajamas. When she finally emerged from the bathroom, she gazed around the master suite, expecting to see Khann. Though he’d promised to give her time to get to know him better before they mated, she had half expected him to attempt sleeping next to her. She pushed away the unexpected disappointment when she found her bedroom empty.

Maybe he’d decided to spend the night on his ship. He would probably be more comfortable there. She glanced at the bed. Even if she felt comfortable inviting him to sleep next to her, he likely wouldn’t fit. He was at least a foot taller than the mattress.

Belle checked on Amie one last time, gave the sleeping child a kiss on the cheek, and returned to her bedroom. Her heart skipped a beat when she spotted Khann kneeling beside the bed, spreading out a blanket and some pillows he must’ve gotten from the living room.

“Um, Khann? What are you doing?”

“Preparing my bed for the night,” he replied, giving her an affectionate look. “Next to you, where I belong.”

Her heart contracted at his sweet words. “Oh.” She couldn’t think of a better response and suddenly felt awkward standing before him in her pajamas. Should they kiss goodnight?

She started walking to her bed, but he rose to his feet and swept her up in his arms, holding her as if she weighed nothing. She marveled at his strength, though she was a bit confused. Why had he picked her up? She peered at him, her mouth going dry and her pulse accelerating. His gaze locked with hers and the world seemed to stop spinning.

“Khann? What-what are you doing?” she finally asked.

“Holding you, little human,” he replied. “Holding you.” He appeared as if he might say more but eventually pressed his lips together and simply stared at her. Bombs could’ve exploded right outside the window and she wouldn’t have been able to look away. The warmth and the possessiveness in his sexy green gaze held her captive.

She placed her hands upon his chest and a shuddering breath left him.

“Fluxx, I want to take you right now,” he said. “But I’m a male of my word and I will honor my agreement with you. And agreement or none, I would never force myself upon you, Belle. I hope you know that. I realize you might’ve heard stories about Vaxxlians kidnapping human females in other parts of the galaxy, and while there is some truth to those stories, I don’t wish for you to fear me.
