One of the great mysteries of the universe, at least for someone from Earth. On the screen, she could see a large, utterly black circle, surrounded by curving bands of pure light.
At the edge of the black hole, objects were moving, circling and then disappearing. Sa’Zhan stood and went to the view screen, pointing to one of these objects.
“What you see here are planets, suns, even entire solar systems, falling into the black hole’s event horizon,” he said. “What do you think?”
“I think it’s amazing,” Hannah said.
Then a thought occurred to her. “Where else can we go?”
Sa’Zhan laughed. It was the first time she’d ever heard him do that, and it sounded lovely.
“We can go anywhere in the galaxy, my love.”
For the rest of the day, they traveled. Sa’Zhan showed Hannah the most incredible sights in the galaxy. Massive star fields. Supernovas. Galactic phenomena that there were no words in English to describe.
Sa’Zhan slowly began to open up to Hannah. He told her about life on his home planet, about the ancient wars Ventosians had fought against slave traders.
They were at peace now, he said, a spacefaring civilization that traveled far and wide across the galaxy. He also told her about himself, about his own travels.
“I have been to many places,” he said.
“I have been alone for a long time. I had begun to despair that I would never find my soulmate. But then, on a small blue planet, I discovered you, my beautiful human Hannah.”
Hannah felt the heat rising in her cheeks. She felt something stir in her stomach. And she felt her heart open as she realized this man, this alien, might really be her soulmate.
Sa’Zhan smiled wolfishly at her. Hannah immediately understood that he had sensed what she was feeling. She smiled back at him and he rose from his seat.
Without warning, he scooped her up in his big, strong arms and carried her out of the bridge, into the main cabin just across the hall.
He put her on the bed and looked down at her. Hannah could feel her hands shaking and her whole body trembling. She nodded at him.
Sa’Zhan climbed up on the bed with her, kneeling by her feet. Hannah could see how hard and ready he was, and she thought he would ravage her right then, but he surprised her.
Sa’Zhan lifted her right leg and kissed the bottom of her foot, then her ankle. He continued upward, slowly, trailing kisses along her calf, her knee. He came to the hem of her dress and pushed slightly upward so he could kiss the inside of her thigh.
He hiked her dress higher and just brushed his lips against her panties. Hannah breathed in and out in little gasps and moans as sensations like she’d never known raced through her.
With skilled, careful hands, Sa’Zhan removed her dress completely and resumed where he had left off, putting his warm, soft lips on her stomach, then licking up toward her heavy breasts.
He took them in his hands, kneading them, lightly pinching her sensitive nipples. He kept this up as he moved to kiss her on the mouth, his tongue greedy for her own.
Hannah grabbed his face in her hands, kissing him back hard. The way he played with her breasts was driving her crazy. She wanted more.
She bucked her hips off the bed, rubbing herself against him. Sa’Zhan growled deep in his throat.
“You will be my mate now,” he said, his voice husky.
“Yes,” Hannah said. “Yes, right now.”
Sa’Zhan rose and stripped quickly, revealing all of his magnificent, muscular body. Hannah stared. She’d never seen a real, live man naked before.
Never seen anything like the big, beautiful erection he was sporting with her own eyes. He saw her looking and smiled again.
Back on the bed, Sa’Zhan positioned himself between her legs. In one sudden, strong motion, he reached out and ripped her panties off of her body.
He leaned forward to taste her womanhood, his tongue lapping gently at her labia. His lips found her sensitive clit, and Hannah thought she would explode then. But that was not what he wanted.
He took his mouth away. Hannah moaned with frustration and desire.
Sa’Zhan spread her legs with his hands. He lay down on top of her, the weight of him solid and comforting against her body. She could feel his cock, ready to enter her.
And then it did, slowly, Sa’Zhan pushing in little by little, sending shockwaves through her with every movement.
Hannah cried out and her hands found the small of his muscular back, pulling at him. Sa’Zhan obliged, driving deep into her, stretching her out, filling her up. Hannah cried out, her * so tight around his steel-hard shaft.
With a deliberate, medium pace, he began to move in and out. He kissed her again as they moved in rhythm together. Then he moved to a kneeling position, rising above her as he began fucking her again.
He lifted one of her legs, and then the other, holding her open and stroking his cock into her again and again.
