The Alien’s Unwanted Bride (Alien Brides #4)

Chapter 30

THIRTY

A s the night wore on, Zora found herself craving a moment of quiet. She caught Dravek’s eye, and with a silent understanding, they slipped away from the festivities. Hand in hand, they made their way to a secluded part of the gardens where the sounds of celebration faded to a gentle murmur.

They stood together beneath a canopy of stars, the gentle glow of bioluminescent flowers casting a soft light around them. Zora leaned into Dravek’s embrace, savoring the peace of the moment.

“Can you believe how far we’ve come?” she mused, her voice barely above a whisper.

Dravek’s arms tightened around her. “Our journey has been extraordinary,” he agreed. “But I believe it’s only the beginning.”

Zora turned in his arms to face him, struck once again by the depth of emotion in his eyes. “We’ve faced so much,” she said. “Malgor’s threats, cultural misunderstandings, the weight of three worlds’ expectations...”

“And we’ve overcome it all,” Dravek finished. “Together.”

“Together,” Zora echoed, the word filled with promise. Emotion welled up in Zora’s chest. “You are my rock, my joy,” she said. “Together, there’s nothing we cannot achieve.”

Their lips met in a tender kiss, the universe seeming to hold its breath around them. When they parted, Zora’s mind was already racing with possibilities.

“Think of all we can do now,” she said excitedly. “Educational exchanges between our worlds, environmental projects to protect the unique ecosystems of each planet...”

Dravek nodded, his eyes shining with shared enthusiasm. “Cultural festivals to celebrate our diversity,” he added. “And who knows what new territories we might explore together?”

“Both literal and metaphorical,” Zora agreed with a grin. Then, more softly, “And maybe... someday... a family of our own?”

Dravek’s breath caught, his expression softening with tenderness. “Nothing would make me happier,” he said. “A family that bridges worlds, just like us.”

They stood in comfortable silence for a moment, the weight of their shared dreams settling around them like a warm blanket. Finally, Dravek straightened, offering Zora his arm with a playful formality.

“Shall we return to our guests, my prince?” she asked. “I believe we have a celebration to finish.”

Dravek pulled her close. “In a while. First, we have some unfinished business,” he said and picked her up in his arms.

She gasped and immediately curled her arms around his neck. “Dravek, where are we going? The hall is the other way. What are you doing?”

“My brothers are taking care of the guests for the rest of the celebration. You’re mine for the rest of the night.”

Dravek carried her across the threshold into his bedroom, the door clicking shut behind them. He set her on her feet, his hands lingering on her waist. Their eyes locked, shining with love and longing.

He pressed his lips to hers in a tender kiss that ignited the desire between them. As they kissed, his fingers worked at the fastenings of her wedding gown. Zora’s heart raced with anticipation and joy.

At last, they were husband and wife, free to express their love and passion. She had never felt so cherished, so completely adored.

The dress slipped from her shoulders and pooled at her feet. “My beautiful bride,” Dravek murmured, his heated gaze roaming over her. “I love you, Zora, with all that I am.”

“I love you too, my darling husband,” she whispered back, then kissed him again.

They fell onto the plush bed, mouths fused and hands roaming over bare skin. Dravek’s sensual kisses trailed from her lips to her chin, then down her throat. Zora sighed blissfully and tangled her fingers in his hair. Lower and lower his mouth traveled, finding the swell of her breast. She arched into his touch, alight with exquisite sensation.

He caressed every inch of her trembling body as if memorizing her curves. Zora had never felt more treasured or desired than she was when with Dravek. This was everything she had ever yearned for - a lifetime of love with her soul mate. Her heart swelled with the overwhelming emotions. She was finally his, and he was hers, in every possible way.

Zora gasped as Dravek’s masterful fingers found the apex of her thighs, stroking and teasing her most sensitive flesh. Waves of exquisite pleasure rolled through her body, building to an impossible peak. She cried out, hips lifting to meet his touch.

“That’s it, my love,” he encouraged, his voice a low rumble against her skin. “Come for me.”

With a few more skillful caresses, Zora shattered, Dravek’s name on her lips. Sparks of bliss shot down her spine as the powerful climax overtook her. She clutched at his shoulders, anchoring herself against the storm of sensation.

Before the tremors had fully subsided, Dravek settled his hips between her thighs, his hard length nudging at her entrance. Zora wrapped her legs around him, welcoming his weight. As he slowly pushed inside her slick heat, she felt complete like two halves becoming whole.

This man was her everything - her lover, her best friend, her partner in all things. Becoming his wife was her greatest joy. As he began to move within her, each deep stroke stoking the embers of her desire, Zora poured all of her love into her gaze, her touch.

“My incredible wife,” Dravek rasped, dropping his forehead to hers as he rocked into her. “I’ll cherish you all of my days.”

Zora cupped his face, overcome with adoration and passion. Nothing could be more perfect than sharing her life and her body with this amazing man. With him, she was home.

Dravek’s thrusts started slow and deep, savoring their connection. Zora met each roll of his hips, her body welcoming his. She ran her hands over the hard planes of his back, feeling the muscles flex beneath her fingers with his movements.

“You feel incredible,” Dravek groaned against her throat. “I can’t get enough of you.”

“I’m all yours, always,” Zora promised breathlessly. The exquisite drag of his thick length inside her sent tingles racing across every nerve ending.

Dravek gripped her thigh, hitching her leg higher on his hip to take him even deeper. Zora cried out at the burst of pleasure.

Her head fell back as Dravek drove into her again and again, hitting that perfect spot that made stars explode behind her eyelids. The obscene sounds of flesh meeting flesh and their mingled moans filled the room. Sweat-slicked skin slid together as their bodies surged as one.

“Zora... Zora...” Her name fell from Dravek’s lips like a reverent chant as he chased their release. His hand dipped between their straining bodies to circle her swollen clit, heightening every sensation.

Pressure coiled tighter and tighter at the juncture of Zora’s thighs as he thrust harder, faster, grinding against her just right. Her pulse roared in her ears, her breath coming in urgent pants. She was teetering on the edge of rapture, ready to tumble over.

“Come with me, my love,” Dravek commanded hoarsely, his rhythm growing erratic. “I want to feel you.”

His words were her undoing. With a wordless cry, Zora came, her inner muscles clenching tightly around him. Dravek followed her over the precipice with a guttural groan, his hips surging forward as he came inside her welcoming body.

They clung to each other as the waves of ecstasy crashed over them, trembling and gasping from the force of their shared climax.

Zora felt cherished, sated, utterly content. She knew in her bones that she would never tire of loving this man with every fiber of her being.

As their racing hearts gradually slowed, Dravek gathered her close, raining tender kisses across her face. “My radiant wife. My heart is forever yours.”

“As mine is yours,” Zora whispered, smiling softly. “Until the end of our days.”
