Sparrow's Release
thrust in and out.
    He followed her gaze and found himself
growing even harder at the sight. “Look, Sparrow. My Little
Sparrow,” he panted. “Look how perfectly we fit. The God of our
worlds intended you for me.” His eyes burned into hers as he began
thrusting harder. “You were meant only for me.”
    His words affected her as much as his
lovemaking. Her fourth climax hit with his and they cried out in
unison as his seed emptied into her womb. He pulled her tightly
against him and turned on his side, bringing her with him. She felt
so contented she was already half asleep when she realized one
thing was off. She had never told him her name.
     
     

Chapter Five
     
    When Sparrow woke, it was to find Navar
beside her, watching her sleep. He gave her a smile which made her
heart stutter. “You are magnificent, even when you slumber.” He
leaned down, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “What would you like
to do today? Do you want to see your kingdom? Perhaps explore your
new home?”
    Sparrow frowned up at him for a moment before
answering, “I’d like to know how you know my name. I don’t remember
telling you.” She searched his face, looking for some sign of
deceit. She wondered if she was just paranoid, or if there was
really something to be alarmed about, as her gut instinct was
telling her.
    Navar’s happy face melted, and he moved to
sit up in the bed. He looked ashamed, and Sparrow suddenly felt
very scared of what he was going to say. “What is it? I know
something is off, but I am blind here. Please tell me.” He spared
her a sidewise glance before moving to get off the bed, and she
followed closely behind, “How can I feel safe and comfortable about
any of the women from my planet being brought here if I don’t know
what it is you’re keeping from me?”
    He pulled on his pants before turning to look
at her. “This does not affect the other women of your world. Only
you.” He paused, “and me.”
    Alarmed, she sat back on her calves. “What
did you do?” She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing
heart. “What have you done?”
    He moved to a huge armoire and opened it,
looking briefly through the clothes before picking one that was
different hues of burgundy, pink and silver. Turning back, he
handed the dress to her. Softly, he said, “I am not hiding anything
from you. I just wasn’t ready to explain yet.”
    Stepping into the dress, she pulled it up and
secured the clasp behind her neck, before turning to stare at him
again. She refused to make comment on the beauty of the dress or
how relieved she was that it actually gave her back her modesty.
Instead, she demanded, “Explain what?” she glared at him in
frustration. “Why are you being so secretive? Why can’t you just
tell me? I’ve trusted you more than I usually trust anyone already.
I swore to help things run as smoothly as possible in this matter,
but you aren’t telling me something.”
    Ho looked her over and took a deep breath.
“So beautiful,” he whispered, “even when you’re angry.” Then he
reached out, offering her his hand. “This isn’t something I can
tell you. You must be shown.”
    With a sigh, she reached out, clasping his
hind in hers. She tried to ignore the tingles that went through her
at the contact. He had to realize she was sincere and would not put
up with dishonesty “Fine, then show me. After this, I expect you to
be completely candid with me from the very beginning. Real
relationships cannot be started with any secrets.” She stomped her
foot a bit to prove she was serious, and Navar had to bite his lip
to keep from smiling. Instead, he simply nodded as he turned to
lead her from the room.
    He led her down the corridor toward a room
guarded by a man. He stood outside the door with a serious
expression. His head was bald, just as every other man she’d seen,
but his skin was a dark shade of green. Upon seeing them, he bowed
deeply as they approached. “You’re Majesties.” He
