CHAPTER THREE

Amber

After dinner I quickly put the kids to bed and strolled out to the living room where the prince rested on my couch. For a moment I wanted to be annoyed at him, but he managed to feed me and my kids without complaining. I liked being independent and able to provide for my elf babies, but I was limited by what I could do on this planet.

“That wasn’t so bad, was it?” Lundin’s brow arched with a smirk on his lips. Smug ass.

“No but you don’t need to rub it in.” I glared at him, and the grin vanished.

“Sorry. I keep forgetting you don’t joke easily.” He adjusted in his seat and fully faced me.

“I don’t like taking things that aren’t mine. I’ve always been a strong, independent woman, even when I left Earth with Amelia and the other females.” I sat on the other couch to keep some distance between us. Part of me felt like I wasn’t being faithful to my husband. My late, dead husband. I reminded myself again for the hundredth time in the last week or so. Moving on wasn’t easy but I needed to try. For me and for my kids. After all, isn’t that what he would’ve wanted?

I debated with myself for a moment in silence. The very attractive prince had helped me feed myself and my children giving him major points in the good guy column.

“Yet all of this should’ve been yours. You’re a widow to a hero. It should mean more than you struggling to survive.” He shook his head.

“Well, I can’t change anything. Employers like elves, not humans, and without an elf mate, I feel like I’ll drown in the sea of misfortune. Then again, if I choose to get back out there and date, I’ll come with baggage. Lots of it. Not to mention trying to give myself permission to move on isn’t easy.” Heat rose in my cheeks as I reminded myself who I was speaking to.

“Don’t be ashamed of wanting security here on Iyvis. After all, that’s why we brought you here. To help re-build our species.”

“But to what end? I mean you already have two half-elf, half-humans in there who look like they belong. At least they won’t struggle. If they can make it with limited food.” I sighed heavily. This morbid conversation had to stop or I might spin into another deep depression. I shook out my hands. “Enough about me and my problems. I bet a prince playboy such as yourself has lots of issues.” I smirked and he laughed so deep it almost had me laughing with him.

“Nah, I have no secret pregnant females around the planet and my last girlfriend chose to leave because she wanted commitment and I couldn’t offer it.”

“Why not?” I tipped my head to the side.

He leaned in closer, and my breath stalled in my lungs for a moment. The curve of his face and the way his eyes stared into me called to my soul. “Why so interested?” His brow arched and his lips parted slightly.

I shouldn’t want him. I need to get up and walk him to the door. I have a family to think of. I tried to reason with my body as I leaned in, closing more distance between us. “I’m not sure why I’d be interested.”

He closed the gap completely and kissed me. My protests flew out of my head as his lips pressed into mine. A need grew in my stomach. He might have the power to make me forget about all my problems. When he broke away, his own breathing was heavy and strained like mine. “I shouldn’t have done that.”

“No… I shouldn’t do this.” I kissed him this time and he wrapped his hand around the back of my neck to deepen it. Butterflies raced around my stomach but I loved kissing him. So aggressive and so needy all in one passionate lip lock.

I pulled away this time and stood while taking off my shirt. Then I unsnapped my bra and let it fall to the ground.

“What are you doing to me?” he asked as he stood and backed me up to the table. After a few breaths, my pants and panties were on the floor along with his pants and boxer briefs. He lifted me up and set my bare ass on the table. My eyes landed on his swollen cock and my need grew stronger.

“Don’t tease me,” I begged.

“Maybe next time.” He aligned his tip with my slick entrance then slammed into me. I gasped as my head fell back. I feel so freaking full. I missed this feeling. His hands lifted and grabbed my neck and face as he thrusted deep while kissing me. The passion was unreal, and I fucking loved it too.

Each sweet thrust sent me higher than before and soon I could feel my body beginning to unravel. But I wanted it to last longer. Wanted to be with him for hours on end.

But I couldn’t stop the train of pleasure as he picked up his pace. I moaned against his mouth as the dam broke. The pleasure raced through my body, seizing my muscles as I rode out my release.

He groaned against me, and his cock swelled deep inside me before throbbing. After a moment he pulled back giving us a chance to steady our breathing. “So fucking perfect.” He kissed me quickly before carrying me to bed. By the time he set me down he was hard as a rock again.

“I’m not done with you yet my sweet little human.” He smirked as he spread my legs. The way he looked at me had me ready for more. I needed it and was ready to enjoy every minute of my time with the playboy prince.
