Alien Soldier's Baby (Scifi Alien Romance) (Zoran Warriors) Read Online Free

says. “Did you sleep well?”
    I turn and stare at the purple alien. I mutter a quick thank-you as I gulp the drink down, nearly burning my throat, and I return to the land of the living as the synapses in my brain fire again.
    I realize with horror that I’m standing in front of the alien warrior wearing nothing but a long T-shirt. My hair must be a total mess, and I don’t want even want to think about my breath right now.
    My cheeks burn bright with embarrassment as I slam the cup down and sprint towards the bathroom, keeping the bottom of my shirt tucked down so I don’t accidentally flash him all the goods.
    I’m thankful for this ship’s shower – I feared the military vessel would have a cramped space, but it’s a veritable Valhalla in the washing room. The shower is made for a seven foot tall Zoran, so for me, it’s like being in the middle of a tropical rainstorm.
    As the warm water caresses my skin I let my mind wander to the kiss we shared. I can still picture Koryn’s shocked face.
    Truth be told, I feel a little guilty. I just wanted to tease the stoic warrior, get him out of that armor-plated shell of his a bit; lighten the mood.
    And I admit that perhaps a small part of me just wanted to kiss his full, dark lips.
    He’s an excellent kisser. Even though it lasted a mere moment, I can tell he’s skilled at more than just fighting… but I have no intention of finding that out, of course. I’m on a cleanse! No matter how much Jill laughed at me when I told her, I’m sticking with it, damn it!
    However, that hurt look in his honey-colored eyes when I pulled away and slammed his hand down on the table? That crushed me. I have to make it up to him somehow.
    Without giving him the idea that I’m in love with him or anything. I don’t care what Jillian says, but I’m not going to cuddle with him next to a smoldering fire while we gaze at the stars.
    I just needed a taste. A quick fix. I could only stare at his chiseled jawline, his broad shoulders, or the veins running up his muscled, amethyst-colored arms for so long without… you know.
    The only problem?
    Now I want more.
    I strap myself into my seat next to Koryn, freshly showered and actually wearing clothing this time.
    “Just in time,” he says. “We’re about to arrive on Zenus, so I’ll have to use the engines to slow us down. It’ll give another kick, just like the launch did.”
    “Great. Can’t wait,” I answer, securing the strap that’s keeping me in my seat a little more. Not that I have to. The landing will feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest.
    “Here it goes,” Koryn says. He hits a few switches, and it starts. The entire ship rumbles and rattles as the engines fire, the intense pressure on every part of my body returning instantly. My eyes hurt – everything hurts actually. I see dark spots, and the sound seems to drift away, and I realize I’m fainting. I hold my eyes open, staying conscious by sheer will alone.
    I don’t want Koryn to see me faint. He thinks humans and females are weak, and seeing as I’m both, I’m dead-set on proving him wrong.
    The uncomfortable – and that’s putting it rather lightly – feeling subsides when Koryn kills the engines. An enormous emerald orb set against the black backdrop of space sits silently in front of us.
    “Zenus,” Koryn says.
    “It’s gorgeous.”
    Our ship nosedives down towards the surface, and the planet gets closer and closer until it’s all we can see. It’s several times the size of Earth, and mostly uncharted – because it’s in hostile space. The Ygg’s home-planet is only a galaxy away. Far enough away that it’s not an immediate concern, but close enough to make me anxious.
    “Are we alone here?”
    Koryn peers down at his scanners.
    “Seems like it.”
    “We haven’t been spotted?”
    The mauve man turns to me. “No. Not unless they’re staring at us through binoculars. Which I don’t think they can. No thumbs.”
    Did I just catch
