damn Cheshire cat when he saw them coming to the counter with the purchases. Yeah, he could have called Hale, and he would have sent one over, but sometimes you needed to let children know they were loved. In his world, actions spoke louder than words.
“What do you think we should do next?” he asked as they walked out of the store.
“Arcade,” they both screamed before their bellies made rumbling noises.
“Hmm, I think someone needs to eat.” He flashed them a smile, “But first we need to take our purchases out to the car.”
He quickly found the group and ignored the smiles as they checked out the games in his hands.
“Car keys,” he said brusquely. He wasn’t upset or anything else, but they didn’t need to know that. He couldn’t afford them knowing how his heart was breaking. They would want to keep him at their side, watch him. That wasn’t happening.
“Stay with your parents,” he said to his diligent little soldiers. Picking up the toys, he headed towards the parking lot to stow them in the vehicle.
The walk to the SUV took no time at all. He closed the back and leaned his head against it. Once again he reminded himself that not everyone was supposed to be mated, and it was simply his luck that he had drawn the short straw. His boys were taken care of, and that’s all that mattered. Now he could turn his mind towards others who needed his help. With a slow shake of his head, he pushed himself up and returned to the mall.
That scent, the one he smelled in the toy store was tantalizing his sense of smell again. He should resist but how could he? It was like the Delia flower from his home world mixed with a unique scent of femininity. The smell was enough to drive him to his knees while making him harder than steel. There was no way he was leaving until he found the source of the scent.
He rode the escalator down to the lower level; the scent became stronger, calling to him. Walking down the corridor, he called himself a fool; this must be a new trick by the Sudir. How else could the scent appeal to him? Briefly, he thought about asking for backup, but he didn’t want to share the scent, not yet. He walked until he saw her.
She was standing in front of a store slightly bent over allowing her body to show off the perfect roundness of her rear. He licked his lips and felt one of his fangs. His fingers itched to touch her ass; he knew it would be soft. Swallowing hard, he tried to adjust himself. Forget about being hard as steel, right about now he could bend the stuff with his cock.
His eyes tried to travel up the alluring column of her back while taking in her legs at the same time. Colun had to give a small laugh. He definitely had to pick a direction. His eyes decided to climb up her lovely body first, appreciating the way her pants cinched around her waist, and the soft pink of the shirt tucked into the band giving him a surprising view of the small of her back. The desire to lick her there was overwhelming
With a slow shake of his head reality set in. Who wanted an old alien like him? It was time for the young ones to mate; his time had come and gone. His eyes continued to move up until he saw the strong column of her neck and the dark hair pushed to the side with a light sprinkling of silver in it.
He liked it. He had never mourned his youth, but at this moment he wished he was a young male so he could approach her.
*~*~*~*
Sara straightened up; the shoes she was looking at in the store window were a little too high for her. She wanted to embrace her youth not break her neck. Feeling eyes on her, she turned thinking it was probably some young girls laughing at her looking at the high heels.
It wasn’t!
Her body stopped, no air moved, her blood didn’t flow. She was certain she would have died at that moment if someone hadn’t knocked into her making her take a breath while her body started functioning again. She had never seen anyone like the male looking at her. He was
