ecstasy. But he kept holding back, inching her downward very slowly, taking his time. It was killing her yet increasing her pleasure. Then without any warning, he plunged her downward hard. It made her scream from the combined pain and delight as she felt him expanding and going deep within her.
He wrapped his arms around her and this time manually thrust her up and then down again. He moaned with amazing indulgence, embracing every sensual moment, his lust escalating without control. He then lay back on the huge desk and shifted her on top of him. With eyes burning, she eagerly rode him as his eyes seemed to consume the sight of her curvy body and gorgeous face, strands of her dark brown hair cascading across her shoulders.
Even more overwhelmed by the radiating heat from her body, the fullness of her taut breasts, and the expression of sheer pleasure on her face, his carnal decadence took him soaring into high heavens until he eventually reached his climax. She too opened her mouth as she raptured in pure erotic bliss.
Later that night, they made love again – on the couch this time – and lay spent beside each other. Dr. Ashkin wrapped his arms around her as she snuggled comfortably on his bulky chest, tracing the two new tattoos with her index finger.
“Don't go, Abby,” he whispered unexpectedly. “I want you here.”
“I…” she couldn't continue. She had not come to a decision yet.
“You and Kyle can live with me,” he offered.
Abby raised her head and looked him in the eye. “Oh, Ashkin. I would love that, but I don't have a career here. My family and friends are not here. I don't belong here.”
“But you can be one of us if you want to…”
“I don't know,” Abby whispered with great uncertainty, her heart breaking as she spoke. This was the part she was dreading. They were already starting with their goodbyes. “I was thinking… Kyle might be for your world but not me. I can just visit him from time to time or maybe he'll be the one to go to Earth to see me.”
Abby laid her head on his chest and could feel the quick thumping of his heart. He stayed silent for a few minutes and she thought he'd already fallen asleep. Then he embraced her tighter and kissed her on the forehead without saying anything.
CHAPTER 12
Abby wiped a tear from her eye as she browsed through the wedding photos that she'd recently taken with her photography team. The couple's funny and romantic shots reminded her of the special moments she had shared with Dr. Ashkin on Planet Krach. The fact that the newlyweds already had a 13-year-old son, although younger than her own, made her miss Kyle more than ever.
It had been two weeks now since she'd gone back to her own planet and resumed the life she had left. Throughout this time, work had kept her busy so she hadn't had the chance yet to visit. On the other hand, Kyle was also preoccupied with the grueling research and studying he was doing.
“Why did you come back, Abby?” Claire asked, sitting beside her on the couch in their small office.
“Why not?” Abby countered with a forced smile.
“Abby, you're obviously not happy,” Claire pointed out. “I mean, aside from the fact that I'm dying to meet this gorgeous alien you've fallen in love with, I just can't understand why you didn't just stay there.”
Abby sighed, leaning back on the couch and looking at her friend. “Was it a wrong decision?” she asked.
Claire nodded without hesitation. “I get it that you feel as if you don't belong there, unlike Kyle who turned out to be half-alien. Yes, there are a lot of things you'll have to get used to but it's all workable. It may all be worth it if you can be truly happy.”
“But what about my life here?”
“Abby, your life should be where your heart is,” Claire told her gently with a smile.
Abby groaned. “I hate it when you start being so serious and you actually make sense,” she said in a complaining but teasing voice.
