Wulf sighed. “I am pleased to know you won’t associate with him any further. You are afraid this may come up in the tell-all program in New York?”
I shrugged. It was then I realized I was on his lap. Comfortable, sheltered. Protected. If anyone could keep the likes of Jimmy Steel away, it was Wulf. I almost laughed at the idea of him going with me the night before, seeing the bouncer’s face at that seedy bar if Wulf stood beside me.
“My family will come up as well. They aren’t nice. I don’t associate with any of them anymore, but I have no idea if the producer went and searched them out, got them to talk about me in one of their clips.”
“It matters not to me about what is shared on the program or how those on Earth respond.”
“What about the other fighters? Won’t their chances of finding a mate be less?”
He kissed the top of my head. “I would assume other females from Earth have secrets and they will find you relatable.”
I had to laugh. “I highly doubt every woman has to pay off a debt to a drug kingpin.”
“I will protect you and the children. It is now my job. The children will come to New York with us. Separation is not an option.”
Separation is not an option.
“Especially when you have my cuffs upon your wrists.”
God, those words. He held me close as we watched the kids, and I wondered if he’d even let me off his lap. I realized I was content exactly where I was. And the cuffs? Being bound to him in such a way? Maybe I was crazy, but I wanted it. I wanted him.

Wulf, New York City
I thought the weather in Florida was bad. I thought Chet Bosworth was bad. I even thought the human airplane was bad. But nothing, absolutely nothing could prepare me for New York City.
I’d grown up on Atlan. Yes, there was a large population on the planet and it even had cities, but Gods.
The buildings reached the sky. There was no greenery. No trees. Planets. Flowers. At least none that I’d seen. And it teemed with people. Noise. So much to look at, my head hurt. Nothing anyone could say to me would have made me believe reality. I was claustrophobic walking on the sidewalk, and I was over a foot taller than everyone around me. I could see in the distance and knew it went on and on and on.
The show had provided a vehicle to retrieve us from the airport. I wouldn’t even talk about that experience. Flying. As if! Humans had no idea what real air travel was like. This ground vehicle was spacious and more luxurious than any ground craft I’d seen in space. My legs could extend out long and not touch anyone. A small miracle.
The children had come, along with things called car seats that ensured their safety while traveling, a diaper bag for Emma, a toy bag for both children’s entertainment, a suitcase of their clothes, plus drinks and snacks. I had no idea how two tiny humans could require so many things. It was good we had such a large vehicle to carry it all.
Lucy had been asked to join us, although by her excitement I doubted she would have said no to Olivia. She was glad to watch Tanner and Emma while we did the program. I was at ease by this request, for I knew how well she cared for them and would protect them in my absence. The producer had requested them to be on the program, but Olivia had been adamant and flat out refused having Tanner and Emma shown in any way. She’d said it was one thing for the two of us to have images all over the world, but the children hadn’t asked for it and would remain anonymous.
The vehicle first went to the hotel where a representative of the show met us and assisted Lucy, Tanner and Emma to their room. Olivia had given out kisses and hugs to the children and waved as they entered the tall building, hand in hand with Lucy.
“You are not worried about being separated?” I asked, staring at the strange revolving entry. People swarmed around us, a haste in their steps as if they had somewhere important to be. I pulled Olivia close. It would be easy to lose someone in this chaos, and this was the last place I wanted my beast to come out. Lucy had mentioned something about Godzilla, a strange beast-like creature, and told me not to turn into it. At the time I didn’t know what she meant, but now I did.
“Lucy will keep them safe,” she said reassuringly. “They will check in and go right to the suite we’ve been given. They’ve been wound up with excitement for hours. They’ve never been on a plane before. I’m sure they’ll conk right out… after jumping on the beds.”
I frowned down at her and she laughed. “It’s fun.” The sound and her optimism soothed my beast. Ever since she’d shared her burden about the drug dealer, she’d been more relaxed. I wasn’t. I wanted to find the fucker and have him spend some time with my beast. But vengeance was not going to happen. I’d rather have her and the children off planet so I knew they would be safe.
Earth was such a primitive planet with too many self-serving, malicious humans.
“It’s all right,” she said, pulling me from my thoughts. “Come on. Don’t you want those cuffs?” Her words were meant as a taunt, but they were a clear reminder of what we had to do. While I had Olivia beside me, our relationship was not our own and couldn’t be until this… tell-all program was complete and I had the mating cuffs on her. Although my mating fever wouldn’t be soothed until I claimed her as my beast required. Up against a wall, her hands pinned over her head, my cock deep inside her as I took her hard and made her scream.
I growled at the thought, knew it wouldn’t happen until we were off this forsaken planet and back on The Colony. My cock was hard, and I had to adjust myself to be comfortable in my Earth-tailored pants.
Her words and the thought of claiming her pussy as my own had me moving, pulling her along by my hand gently at her elbow, back to the large vehicle. As soon as the door was closed, she crawled onto my lap so she straddled me, rubbing her center over my hard length.
The driver was separated from us by a divider so we had complete privacy. The noise and bustle from outside was silenced. We were alone.
We’d shared a bed again last night but only for a few hours. Tanner had come in, wanting a drink of water, but then decided he wanted to sleep with us. While the boy was quite young, he needed to maintain some independence, especially during sleep. Therefore I told him warriors slept in their own beds, and I ended up sleeping on the hard floor in his room to ensure he remained there.
Olivia cupped my jaw in her small hands. “I can’t believe I’m saying this, especially since I’ve known you such a short time, but I missed you last night.” She bit her lip, and I reached out and tugged the plump flesh free with my thumb. “You only gave me one orgasm.”
The smile on her face indicated she had a playful side, a side my beast and I liked in equal measure. My cock throbbed as I remembered how I gave her that orgasm. My hands settled on the curves of her ass, then slid down her thighs to the edge of her skirt, then right back up. This time I cupped bare skin and the silky material of her panties.
“Then you shall have a second orgasm.” My fingers slipped beneath the edge of the dainty material to find her center. Wet, hot and ready for me. I might not be able to claim her until we were on The Colony, but I could satisfy her in the moving vehicle.
“Here?” she asked, her eyes falling closed.
