Heart of the Galaxy (Paranormal Romance Aliens) by Cristina Grenier Page B

twisted; wanting more and more. Troy gave her what she wanted. It was beyond what she could handle. She felt herself coming and could not stop the avalanche. She clasped his head with her thighs and climaxed in his mouth. Troy could feel the rolling sensations of release tumbling through her body. It was such a turn-on. He moved up beside her and held her in his arms.
    “Good morning,” he smiled.
    She smiled.
    “Good morning. Will every morning be like this?” she asked softly.
    “It will if you want it to be,” he replied.
    “I think I do,” she murmured.
    He laughed.
    “So do I,” he agreed. He brushed her hair back from her face and noticed her ears. “Your ears have reverted to their original form.”
    Jess touched her ears in wonderment. She could feel the pointed tip and that they were flat to her head.
    “They have. Will anything else change about me?” she asked as she fingered her ears.
    “No. As I said we are very similar to the human form. Are you okay with the transformation?” he asked.
    “Yes. I’m fine with it. I knew it would happen. It was only a matter of time,” she smiled wryly.
    “I’m glad you’re okay with it,” he smiled.
    “There’s something I’ve wanted to ask you about,” she said.
    “What’s that?” he asked.
    “How is it that you’ve seen Ash so recently?” she asked.
    “When you thought I was visiting relatives in other states I was actually hooking up with Ash who was exploring space near Earth,” he explained.
    “Ah! I see. But of course you couldn’t tell me that,” she surmised.
    “Of course not. You’d never have believed me anyway and it served my purpose for you not to know,” he said mildly. “Satisfied?”
    She smiled wickedly.
    “Not quite,” she said sassily as she pulled his head down for a sensuous kiss.
    That kiss led to much, much more. They spent the majority of the day in bed; making love time and again. Jess eventually went into the bathroom to bathe and Troy joined her. They bathed each other which led to a passionate escapade. By the time they dressed and emerged from their quarters it was late afternoon. They encountered Ash and Rakia dining in the Mezzine. Rakia smiled knowingly at them and Jess blushed. Troy laughed.
    “Come join us,” Ash said jovially.
    Troy seated Jess then himself. He held up his hand for the waiter to come to the table. The waiter came over and Troy placed the meal order for he and Jess. The waiter moved away. Jess looked at Troy in annoyance.
    “You placed my order without asking me what I wanted,” Jess exclaimed in irritation.
    Troy grinned unrepentantly.
    “Of course. I know what you like,” he grinned.
    “You still could have consulted me. Maybe I’m not hungry,” she retorted.
    He looked at her in disbelief. He leaned over and whispered in her ear.
    “Remember, we worked up an appetite,” he murmured.
    Jess blushed and smacked his arm. Troy laughed at her flaming face.
    “What did you say to her?” Rakia asked.
    “Don’t you dare tell them,” Jess exclaimed. She whispered to Troy. “Or you will know hunger pangs forever.”
    Her play on words was not lost to Troy.
    “You’re cruel, woman,” Troy said in mock horror. “But you win.”
    Jess gave him a satisfied smirk. She caught Rakia’s eye and mouthed the word: later. Rakia smiled. Ash grinned despite his bafflement. He didn’t know precisely what was going on but was ecstatic that his friends were happy. The food and drink arrived and there was much laughter at the table.
    “I have good news for you, Troy,” Ash said.
    “What is it?” Troy asked.
    “We have been able to make up for the lost time in tracking Roz. We will arrive at Topal in three days,” Ash announced.
    “Three days!” Troy said in wonder. “How is that possible?”
    “The Commodore is a very swift vessel. She can move faster than even her designers recognize,” Ash said proudly. “When I need her to respond she does so without fail.”
    “We will
