I smacked Xai'an's hand when he reached for me in the healing pod after I woke. I was still a little pissed at him for that insane fucking. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't mad because he pulverized my hooha for seven-YES, SEVEN-hours straight. I was mad because he refused to let me sleep or eat for the duration of it. After running to his rescue, fighting for an hour straight, he fucks me for SEVEN HOURS. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SHIT? SEVEN! Nevermind he had a fucking rhino worthy viagra running through him, a girl has to draw the line somewhere!

"Z is mad." Not a question. The big guy looked like a kicked puppy and it sucked a lot of my fight right out of me. Not fucking fair...

"I get rather bitchy when someone refuses to let me sleep, Xai'an." I grumbled as I climbed out on my own. When I slipped, he tried to catch me, but I again slapped his hand. "Keep your perverted hands off me!"

Xai'an seemed to droop a little, obviously hurt at my rejection and I felt guilty for making him look so taken aback. "Z said Xai'an could mate. Z mad about mating."

I sighed and went to him, wrapping my arms around his waist. God damn it! How can an alien male standing nearly 9 fucking feet, weighing 400+lbs of pure muscle make me feel bad about what just happened? Xai'an was strong enough to yeet a fucking truck like a Spartan yet he still looked so vulnerable right now. Not fair man...Not fair at all. "I'm not mad about the sex, Xai'an. Granted I had no idea you were going to John Wick destroy my vagina, but that's not why I'm mad. I'm mad because you wouldn't give me a damn break. Yes, you were drugged, but you need to respect me better than that."

"Sorry…" He said softly. God, he really did look like a kicked puppy and it made it incredibly hard to stay mad. This fuckin guy…

"I'm not going to say it's okay. Because it isn't. But I forgive you." Those words brightened his face and he leaned down to nuzzle mine. That meant he had to squat with me in between his thighs.

"Xai'an take Z home now."

"Does that mean I get to call my mom?" I felt my heart swell. I really wanted to let her know what was going on. I couldn't leave Earth without letting her know her first born wasn't dead or lost under the crumbled town.

Xai'an nodded. "First, Z must eat." 

"I'm not hungry, Xai'an." I was too excited to talk to my mom to even think about food.

I tried to step away with the intent to leave the healing room, but Xai'an held onto me. He stood up and reached over to the pod. A few clicks of his claws pulled up a holographic screen and he guided it with his hand to hover at my level. I looked at it in confusion because it was in his language. A chart of some sort.

Xai'an pointed to a specific cluster of characters as if that explained everything. "Z must eat. For young."

Call me stupid but I had no idea what he was talking about. "I need to eat to stay young?"

"For young." He repeated bearing down at me with an intense amber gaze. 

"For young...what?" Yeah, I still didn't get it.

Xai'an ran his large hand over his face and he heaved a sigh, clicking something in his language. Probably calling me dumb, who knew? Finally he squatted down to balance on the balls of his feet and lightly palmed my stomach. A soft purr came from his chest and the soft horror dawned on me.

Oh...my...god...

"ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT I'M PREGNANT?!" Oh sweet mother of skittles…

I shook my head at him in instant denial. "That's not possible, Xai'an! I have birth control and we JUST had sex last night! There's no way you could have possibly-"
