danger like this. He couldn’t. She was too good, too pure. He could sense that beauty inside of her with each touch. It was like he had known her for years upon years, like he knew every thought she had before she had it. Kester knew that she would gladly take him, even if she wouldn’t consider a life in Astria. But that was lust. And he wouldn’t risk her life for the lust she held inside.  

    The landing field was in sight as he dropped through the atmosphere below. He sighed heavily, feeling like he had aged ten years since the flight had taken off from Delma. How could he have known that his father would be right? That he would find a mate in the strange way that he did? And that he would lose her before he could even have her?  

    He coasted down, landing on the soft pad below. The beauty of Gemnia once again took his breath away. It was a land that was strange to him. It was the land of his people, but not where he had grown into a man. It was a land that had always seemed too beautiful for a shallow prince concerned only with entertainment. In his heart he knew it would be a good place for Nadia Rainer to heal. She deserved to wake up in a beautiful place among beautiful people before she journeyed back to her station in the skies above her home planet.  

    He went to Nadia’s sleeping bay and pressed the button to release her, taking her gently into his arms and walking her out to the airfield. A medical transport ship greeted them and swept both Kester and Nadia away as the police came to dispose of the Nebulan corpse and the space pod that had accosted Kester’s ship. Kester held tight to Nadia as the ship flew them to the nearest medical building. He knew he would have to let her go as soon as they landed. But for now, he could relish the closeness of her body. Just before the ship touched down, Nadia’s beautiful eyes fluttered open. Immediately, Kester sensed her need for him, growing deep inside of her.  

    Put her down, Kester. Don’t make this any worse than it is.

    “Kester,” she mumbled. “Where... where are we?”

    “On Gemnia. It is much like your Earth. I will take you to a healing station, and there you will be able to recover from your injuries. One of my cousins will take you back home once you have healed.”

    “Don’t leave me.” She reached out for him with her good arm, drawing his face close to hers. Gently, she placed a kiss on his lips, sending a great wave of desire through him. His cock stiffened against her small, feverish body. He sighed heavily, letting his tongue slip against hers for just a moment.  

    “I must.”

    “Just for a moment longer. Just until I heal.”

    “Okay,” he sighed. “I will.” The ship’s captain looked at Kester, giving him a nod and staring at the Terran woman’s body with curiosity. Instinctively, Kester shielded Nadia from his view.  

    Mine , he thought. She is mine .

    He disembarked from the ship, holding her childlike body close and walking through the doors of the medical station. Here, she would have her own private chamber to heal, and soon, she would be on her way back home.  

CHAPTER FOUR

    Nadia and Kester

    Nadia woke to find that Kester was waiting beside her, asleep in a round, edgeless chair in the quiet room of the medical port. The room was small, white, and blank. A broad computer panel flashed on the wall, monitoring Nadia’s health stats remotely. There was no noise in the corridors beyond the closed room… either they were alone, or there were some silencing techniques at work. Tentatively, she moved her arm, flexing it forward and then pulling it in.

    Miraculous, she thought. No more pain. It’s completely healed . She brought her hand to her injured side and found that the bruises had also healed. Gemnian medicine had healed her, just as Kester had promised.  

    “Kester,” she whispered, bringing her hand to his knee. A shock of warmth ran through her body. There was a perfect beauty to this man.
