groaned. “Is this sex, Zoe?” he whispered and couldn’t keep the tremor from his tone. Zoe lifted her head and smiled at him. She looked pleased, she smelled very strongly of desire. “Part of it.” There was a change in her tone. More throaty. Doss wanted to pounce on her. Ah yes, he would be on top of her, she was right. When Zoe lifted her leg across his middle Doss immediately put his hands on her waist. He rubbed her tight ass as she rose over him. A delicious aroma was coming from her opening where her female mound was. Doss thought he would go wild when his cock tasted her. His long hardness was secreting juices as she slid him inside of her. Fluids met and mixed. Doss knew her, he knew her body and she was his. Doss had seen other females who were marked, but that was long ago. Zoe would wear his tattoo across her shoulder blade. That meant she would need to be under him. But not yet. Right now he just lay back and enjoyed the rhythm of her hips as she rode him. Her hands were planted firmly on his glistening chest. Her breath came out in quick tiny puffs. “Doss, you feel amazing.” She gasped and moaned the words as she moved faster. Not all of him entered her. She was being cautious, but his cock was slick with need and she was aroused and ready. Her heady scent of wanting him made his heart hammer. She wanted him. Doss needed more. Zoe squealed when he flipped her under him. His hips plowed against her making her scream when every inch of him found its mark. Doss remembered to keep his weight from her. He not only wasn’t to crush her , he couldn’t have. Though his shield was down it was working furiously on his insides to regulate what she could carry. His must was high and if not for his shield, she could have been hurt. Now Doss understood why his Castian half would give a child of his a shield. If Zoe were impregnated with his babe, her musky scent would put her in danger. Doss shrugged off the Tonan selfish half immediately that suggested for a few days he would be vulnerable if a babe were conceived. It meant giving an actual piece of his shield that would need to regenerate. From deep inside, Doss knew a Tonan could stop his armor from filling his cock with a piece of shield if he chose. Doss wasn’t certain if his body could do the same thing or if he was more prone to a Castian’s way of mating. It was his desire to mate. Part of mating was to give her his protection always. Even from himself . He felt his shield physically lift his arms and legs higher from within and force his forearms and knees to hold more of his weight. She feels so incredible. Zoe wrapped her legs around his waist and clung tight. She cried out and Doss felt the most amazing secretion absorbed into his cock. Waves of desire rushed through her into him. He had done that to her. She flowed like warm flavored water invading every ounce of his entire being. Doss was moving harder and faster. His hand gripped her behind holding her in place. He felt her tire beneath him. She was supposed to. A warrior had great stamina to wear out his opponent. Zoe wasn’t his opponent, but he needed her completely exhausted and relaxed for his bite. She wasn’t to move when he marked her. Doss felt his seed begin to move up into his cock, expanding him further. His other hand tangled in her hair. Zoe was groaning and gasping, struggling. Doss scented her emotion. She was afraid. He heard her say something about the size of the Castian prisoners who weren’t allowed to bite their victim. Zoe had heard their screams of agony. She tensed beneath him; her wild eyes looked up at him imploringly. The thought made Doss furious. Deeper hate of Castians raged. They had frightened his female to their sex. As Doss grew larger he thrust slower. “I’m going to turn you around, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you, Zoe. I will be very gentle.” Remaining buried within her Doss turned her onto her belly and pulled her hips up, he
