Justice Read online

  “My turn.”

  Justice thrust into her fast and hard, not holding back anything and she wrapped around him. Her legs hooked over his ass, her arms wound around his neck. Their bodies moved together perfectly as he thrust inside her, hitting every nerve ending that screamed for release. He drove into her deeper, more forcefully and adjusted his cock to hit a spot that made her cry out his name.

  Pleasure crashed through her as Justice moved faster and harder. She screamed his name as the climax hit. Justice threw back his head and a roar tore from his throat. Their bodies jerked and locked together. Jessie relaxed as the last twinge of pleasure washed through her and Justice’s body draped over hers.

  “You’re my mate,” Justice whispered against her ear, brushing a kiss on her throat.

  “Thank God,” she whispered back.

  Justice chuckled. “There is one thing I would like to tell you.” He lifted his head to make her look him.

  “What is it?”

  “We discovered it’s possible for us to have children when a human became pregnant by one of our males. Their healthy, strong baby was born weeks ago.” He cupped her face. “The baby is Species, has our facial traits and resembles his father. I want to have a child with you. Will you think about it?”

  Shock hit her—not that they could have kids, something that she already knew but wasn’t supposed to, thanks to Breeze trusting her. It was the fact that Justice wanted to have a child with her. He’d gone from fighting them being together to asking her to be the mother of his unborn children. It was a fast switch.

  Justice rolled them on their sides, opened a little space between their bodies and cupped her stomach. “I want you to swell with my child and I want you bound to me in every way possible.” He stared deeply into her eyes. “I want to do everything to bind you to me in every way. You make me happy.” He smiled. “You make my life complete.”

  Tears filled Jessie’s eyes. “You are so good with words.”

  He frowned. “What does that mean?”

  She laughed and wiped her tears away. “It means I’d love to have a baby with you though I’d like to wait a year at least. I want time with you first and you need to take more time off work before we have one. I want us to raise our child or children together, not just me raising our baby while you’re gone at work.”

  “I’m your mate. We’ll do everything together.”

  “Honey, you’re a workaholic.” She licked her lips. “My dad is one and he wasn’t around for me much when I was a kid. My worst fear was growing up and marrying someone like him. Ironic, isn’t it? You make him look downright lazy when it comes to the hours you put in but I’m an adult. I get why you work so hard but kids don’t understand how important your job is. They just feel abandoned and like they come in second. Do you understand? You need to learn how to relax more before we become parents.”

  “I’m going to hand over some duties to the council and that will free up a lot of my time. I can wait a year and you’ll see that we will have lots of time together. I can relax and you’re going to teach me how. I had no life but being the face of my people. That’s all changed now, Jessie. I love them but you’re my number-one priority.” His gaze narrowed. “You’re my mate. You come first before all others. I will step down in the morning to show you how much you mean to me. I love you and you’re everything to me.”

  She knew he meant it and her love for him grew stronger. “I don’t want you to quit but I do want you to work less hours. What you do is so important and I don’t want to change who you are. You’re the man I want to be with. I just ask for more of your time. Getting help from your council sounds ideal.”

  He smiled. “Done. I would like to have more than one child. I would like to keep you pregnant and I could do it.”

  “We’ll talk numbers after we have our first one.”

  He looked hopeful. “But at least two?”

  “I love you with my entire heart and you make me happy too.” She grinned. “When you’re not pissing me off but I still love you more than I want to kill you. You make my life complete too.”

  “I was told this next thing is good news. When I get you pregnant what is the worst thing about being pregnant?”

  “Getting fat.”

  He laughed. “Second worst thing?”

  “Morning sickness.”

  “How about nine months of being pregnant?”

  “Yeah. That sounds like a pain but it’s worth it.”

  Justice suddenly rolled onto Jessie and pinned her under him. “It’s a Species baby you will carry, Jessie. The first baby was born in twenty weeks, healthy and at full term. We heal faster than you and we were designed different. It seems our babies develop faster than yours do. The second human mother-to-be is experiencing the same accelerated pregnancy. We think twenty weeks is the pregnancy length.” His gaze searched hers. “Would you still carry my child?”

  Jessie was stunned. Five months? Justice rolled away and sat up.

  “It is too much, isn’t it? Are you afraid now to consider having my child?”

  Jessie rolled onto her side and propped her head on her bent arm. “No. I’m just trying to process this news. It’s stunning.”

  “Are you repulsed?”

  “No. Never. I’d love to carry our baby inside me and it’s kind of cool. Hell, I could almost have two of our children in the time it takes my kind to have one baby.”

  He looked relieved. “So you are agreeing to have at least two. Good.”

  She inched closer, reached out and rubbed his thigh. “So, any other surprises to throw at me?”

  “The doctors have helped Fury’s mate, Ellie, get pregnant. She had something called a blocked tube but now they are having a baby. We’re planning to move them to Reservation to hide that when she begins to show more. We can’t allow your people find out yet. We don’t think they are ready to learn of us having children and are worried they will react badly if they knew Species babies exist. Our child won’t be alone.”

  Jessie nodded. “We’re going to have to open a school for our children before they are old enough to need one. We sure can’t send them to public schools outside the gates. They’d be in too much danger.”

  Justice covered her hand to hold it. “My mate is smart. What other things are you thinking?”

  “I’m thinking we will need to practice getting pregnant. We want to do it right.”

  He glanced at her and growled. In seconds he had flipped her over and yanked her to her hands and knees. He entered her gently, fucking her deeply and Jessie moaned. Justice thrust into her slowly and steadily until she nearly came. He paused when she was right on the edge.

  She turned her head. “Don’t stop.”

  “You have complaints? I need practice?”

  He suddenly thrust in hard and fast, curled around her back and his teeth gripped her shoulder. One of his hands left the bed and his finger strummed her clit.

  Jessie came screaming and Justice roared his own pleasure from behind her. They collapsed on the bed side by side, still connected and Jessie laughed once she caught her breath. Sometimes him not understanding what she was trying to say wouldn’t be a bad thing. He’d mistaken her joke for a complaint. Justice nipped her shoulder and she jerked from the jolt of pleasure. It sent a pulse straight to her clit, reminding her how sensitive it currently was.

  His teeth released her. “How was that?”

  She turned her head to look into his smug gaze. “It’s a human joke. Sorry. I love the way you take me, Justice. You don’t do a thing wrong. It’s just a saying. It means we should have lots more sex so they say to ‘practice getting pregnant’ as a joke.”

  He chuckled. “I see.”

  “But I’ll be sure to say that again. When I do could you forget you know what it really means? I liked this a hell of a lot.”

  “So you want a lot more sex?”

  “I always want you.”

  He grinned. “We were designed for endurance a
