Celestial Seduction by
Jessica E. Subject
At the end of his obligated commitment to the Space
Service, Frey Berger decides to stay on Earth to further experience human
emotions rather than return to Ginnun where his intended has already mated with
another. Looking for real love and someone to accept him for what he is, Frey
enlists in Madame Evangeline’s popular dating service. Although he does not
understand the concept of a one-night stand, he hopes to find his perfect mate.
Carrie Cooper’s husband divorced her for someone who
could provide him with children, leaving her with little self-confidence and no
desire to let a man hurt her again. Her best friend convinces her to join a
dating service, claiming Carrie needs to get laid, while not winding up with a
broken heart since her date requires no commitment after the night is over.
Although several misunderstandings nearly derail them
before the date has even begun, Carrie and Frey end up becoming closer than
they ever believed possible. Still, Frey will need to convince Carrie that her
perfect mate isn’t human at all, and that one night can lead to a forever love.
Excerpt:
Her intensity excited him, but he needed to find a way to
keep her calm. She refused to look into his eyes. His mouth crashed down on
hers, absorbing her next words. She objected at first, but then her tongue
reached out to him, a passionate gesture unheard of on Ginnun.
He matched the force of her kiss and skimmed his hands down
her arms to rest on her sides near her breasts. She no longer struggled. Her
arms wrapped around him, keeping him close. When she released his mouth to take
a breath, he sat up. She panted underneath him.
“That was incredible. I….I felt like I was flying through
space. So many colors and the brightest stars.”
He experienced something different. With that kiss, he had
finally found someone who could keep him grounded on Earth and repress any
regret for not returning to Ginnun. He brushed his thumb along her cheekbone.
“I’d like to continue if you’ll let me.” He leaned down and placed light kisses
across her face.
A sigh escaped her lips and the last of her tight muscles
relaxed underneath him. He slid his body down her legs, his hands returning to
her belly.
“I thought you were going to continue something else,” she
whispered.
His cock pressed against his pants already. Her sudden
interest in sex made it painful. “I want to, but I need to finish giving you
this gift.”
Her body moved but she didn’t struggle or try to get away.
“What exactly are you doing to me? What is this gift? Why was my stomach
glowing?”
He took in a deep breath and released it a little faster and
louder than he’d wanted. He knew the answer would lead to more questions. While
prepared to answer them, he didn’t want to scare her away. His response
required carefully chosen words to ensure he gave her the gift before he told
her of his origins.
“I’m healing you.” The blue glow returned across her belly as
his hands warmed. “You’ll be able to have a child when I am finished.”
Her eyes widened. He sensed her fear, but she didn’t move.
“Your child?”
“No, I am not giving you a child. That can only be done in
the usual ways. I am simply making your body able to become pregnant and carry
a child.”
Carrie propped herself up on her elbows. Her eyes stared down
at her belly, but she remained calm. “How? No doctor could do that for me. How
can you? Are you some type of voodoo priest or something?”
“No.” He needed to continue and keep his heritage from her
for as long as possible.
“A religious fanatic who thinks I’m possessed by demons?”
Frey laughed. “Nope.” He was almost finished. Just a little longer.
The scarring had all returned to normal, healthy tissue. He only needed to
stimulate the maturation and release of eggs in her ovaries.
“How then? I know you’re doing something to me. I can feel
it.”
“Remember how I said I needed an open-minded partner?”
She nodded, her eyes catching a quick glance from his before
returning to her stomach.
Just a couple more minutes and he’d be finished. He prepared
to hold her down should she freak out when he told her he came from space. “I’m
not exactly like you and most of the people on Earth. I’m….different.”
“Like a demon or a guardian angel?”
He laughed. It sounded forced, but he needed to stay focused
on healing Carrie rather than mating with her. “No, you’re thinking paranormal.
Try science fiction.”
She began to squirm under him, but he didn’t need to restrain
her. “A….clone? Artificial intelligence?”
He finished
healing her and lay down beside her. His thumb ran across her lips, wanting to
taste them again, but knowing he probably wouldn’t. “Try alien.”
