Not of This World: Sleeping With the Alien






Kren tries to comfort Jeannie after a nightmare.




She didn’t wake. Instead Jeannie burrowed her face in the hollow between his chest and shoulder, as if he could shelter her against the demons that pursued her. He petted her silky mane and held her close.

She made a sleepy, contented sound. Her soft body relaxed against his and with a last little sigh, she went limp.

Now that Jeannie had settled, Kren was abruptly aware she was naked. Naked, with her body right up against his. Soft breasts pressed against his skin. Her topmost leg slid between his, tangling their limbs like lovers in the immediate aftermath of mating. The scent of her hair, smelling of her recent shower, filled his nostrils.

Kren drew a shuddering breath. It had been some time since he’d joined with a female, longer than was wise. Between the coming harvest of his crops, the calving of his herd of ecal, and enforcement work, he’d been too busy to visit the women of the temple complex. He regretted it now. A surge of heat between his legs made the skin swell and begin to protrude.

He was her savior, but she was his salvation.

Jeannie Gardner escapes from her captors’ clutches only to find herself trapped on a planet far from Earth. When she is discovered by a muscle-bound warrior, she must prove to him, and the Council of Elders, that she is not a creature set free from a lab, but a sentient being from another planet.

If she succeeds, they will send her home. If she fails, she will be executed.

Risnar warrior Kren Bolep is duty bound to protect his village from the Monsuda and their creations. But this small pink-skinned female is different, special. As the bond between them grows, Jeannie’s vulnerability invokes Kren’s protective instincts, and he vows to uncover the truth and secure her future.

But there is a bigger threat looming. The Monsuda are coming to get Jeannie, and they’ll use whatever means necessary. When Jeannie is taken, Kren is forced to choose—disobey the Elders and place his people in danger, or lose the only person who makes him feel whole.
