Chapter Sixty-One

Jitter's POV

Alpha Centauri guides me through the street toward Evoni Central, a place only the super-rich had access to in Light Metro. I had literally never been inside this massive building, but with my hand in his, he scoots me through like he's done it a thousand times before. Red flag? Maybe.

The fact that he is a Kor and probably wants to devour me? Also probably, just maybe, kinda a red flag. But he was super fucking attractive though?! And he was honourable, which meant, our deal was actually very, very good and very, very safe. I could enjoy this free date and then just, yah know, exit politely at the end of it. He did owe me one! I try to reason away why this date is a good idea.

Besides, how exciting! Even in my black pants covered in flour stains near the ankles where the apron didn't protect me, and my white shirt which was clean but basic, and my slightly torn sneakers, I'm somehow allowed into the building.

We walk toward a fancy round lift and Alpha Centauri gets the doors to open as if everyone knows not to delay him, including the inanimate metal doors. We step in together, then my dangerous date asks for the Terminal View Restaurant.

Fucking fancy prick! I didn't know aliens like him dined out like this.

Alpha Centauri sees my nervous excitement in the reflection of the lift doors.

"Nervous?" He smiles and it's nice, he isn't mocking me, I don't think.

"My favourite pastry chef works here," I admit, shuffling from foot to foot, soon jumping from foot to foot.

"Behave for me, Jitters," Alpha Centauri's low drawl has me quietening down.

"Ooh, sorry. Where's your squad anyway?" I like that he's still holding my hand, firmly too.

"For dinner it'll be just me, Bunny, you can meet them later if you agree to the terms," Alpha Centauri turns toward me. I spin toward him too, because I also want to see what he could possibly do next to turn me on. He seemed to have everything down, the charisma, the confidence...

As he gazes adoringly over me, I watch his hand reach up, the long steel claws trail along my cheek, and then tickle under my chin, keeping my head up, inspecting me.

"Eyes on me," Alpha Centauri tests my obedience, when I nod, he approves. Something in his eyes, I guess, "Any questions yet, bunny?"

"Do you think I'm pretty or something?" I whisper. I want to know what that look in his eye was. He seemed obsessed but he barely knew me. Maybe I was imagining things?

"Your womb is of interest to me."

Alpha Centauri speaks so seriously, I just gawk as he faces the doors.

What a weird and very creepy alien thing to say.

Ignoring he just said that, I follow him spritely into the restaurant and we get escorted to one of the window seats in a slick booth. I try to slip in opposite him but Alpha Centauri suddenly jerks me over so I sit right on his lap instead.

"I like my bunnies sitting on me," Alpha Centauri's explains to me, but the waiter is right there, and I blush hard.

"Okay," I whisper as I shuffle back on his comfortable thighs. He is so enormous he is like a seat himself. The menus are handed over and my Kor date immediately asks for red wine to begin with.

As the waiter takes the order and walks off, I can already feel Alpha Centauri's hard dick through his pants, straining.

My estimate? Definitely bigger than a rolling pin. Fuck.
