She didn’t ever want a repeat lesson about putting herself in danger. Melody had discovered a whole new world of sensual pleasure and punishment with her mate and she had no desire to experience real punishment again.
It was definitely better to keep punishment to the sensual realm where it combined with pleasure and brought her satisfaction never before dreamed of. Liam was a patient lover and dominant. She reveled in his punishment in the bedroom, knowing she was safe to explore her limits as he pushed her to the edge and over time and time again.
Melody was sad it was time to go home, back to the real world.
Liam was everything she could have asked for in a mate and more. Of course it was funny to think a month ago she would have said she didn’t want a mate at all.
She’d always thought a Ramelian mate would take her freedom and curb her ability to enjoy life. Now she knew Liam’s arms were the only place she’d ever be truly free.
“Melody, come, I must braid your hair before we can leave,” Liam called her from the bathroom.
Melody obediently went to her mate and watched as he wove her hair into intricate twists and braids with diamond-like beads interspersed throughout the braids. It was a marvel how quickly he made her hair do just what he wanted.
The style was simple but elegant and Melody knew she would always wear her braids with pride. They showed the world she belonged to Liam and he to her.
He dressed her in a beautiful Ramelian caftan of gold, then pulled her into his arms. “I wish we could stay forever, little mate, but it is time. I have duties I must return to.”
“You mean you won’t be my bodyguard anymore?” Melody questioned teasingly.
Liam laughed. “No, sadly, I must return to the training of human males for battle.”
“Does this mean I no longer require an escort?” she asked with an arched brow.
He growled and nipped her earlobe. “I think you know it does not mean any such thing, young lady.”
She only laughed in response, then squealed when he slapped her bottom.
“Put your boots on. I have a surprise for you,” he said with a grin.
Melody pulled on her boots, then followed Liam outside to find the large motorcycle waiting and looked at him in surprise. “I thought we were going home?”
“We are. I just thought you might enjoy taking the bike rather than transporting. Was I wrong?” he asked.
“Oh, Liam, it will be a wonderful ride!” She eagerly climbed on the bike, wrapping her skirts around her legs to hold them in place as they rode.
“Wait! You have to put your helmet on first, little mate,” Liam said indulgently as he pulled her back off the bike and buckled her helmet in place before putting on his own. Then he mounted the bike and Melody climbed on behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist.
The big motor thrummed to life and Melody felt the power of the bike vibrating between her legs, making her squeeze Liam’s butt with her thighs as she moved closer.
She breathed in the scent of the leather of his jacket and the musk and spice that was all Liam as she pressed her face against his back. She was glad their helmets didn’t cover their faces.
When he gunned the motor again and started off down the winding dirt road, Melody yelled in delight.
She loved the feel of the wind as they sped down the road. Closing her eyes, she tilted her head back to lift her face toward the sun, still holding tightly to her mate.
They rode in silence for a while, then Melody leaned forward, wrapping her arms further around him so she could rub a hand teasingly over the front of his pants.
Liam jumped at her teasing caress and leered over his shoulder at her.
She shivered when he pulled over into a secluded section off the highway; once the bike was parked, he swung her around to straddle him at the front of the bike.
Melody make quick work of opening the button of his jeans and unzipping them to free his throbbing cock from its confining prison.
Liam groaned as she caught him in her hands and began stroking him with her fist wrapped tightly around him.
His hands caught her skirts up around her waist, revealing that she was totally bare underneath her caftan. “Naughty girl. No panties?”
She looked up at him mischievously. “My mate didn’t bring me any panties, so I had to go commando.”
“Commando?” Liam frowned.
Melody laughed. “It just means I went without.”
Liam was obviously tired of the subject because he lifted her quickly up and brought her down directly on his cock and thrust home.
She groaned at the feel of him filling her passage snugly and wrapped her legs around his waist.
Liam began to lift her up and down quickly on his shaft, his hands gripping her bottom tightly. Melody just hung on and enjoyed the ride, bracing her hands on his shoulders. Then he pressed her down tightly and ground himself against her, sending her skyrocketing into an orgasm and making her scream.
Before she was even finished spasming around him, Liam lifted her free of his shaft and got off the bike. Melody whimpered, not nearly finished with her mate when he turned her to face downwards, over the seat, spreading her wide.
When he slammed into her from behind, she mewled her welcome as he began to pound into her; every few thrusts his hand slapped her bottom, heightening her pleasure.
“Harder, Liam! Spank me harder!” she cried as she was caught up in their storm of passion.
Harder and harder his hand fell, keeping in time with his rough thrusts until she stiffened beneath him once more and shuddered in climax.
Liam groaned loudly as he followed her over the edge. He pulled free of her, then lifted her up in his arms, pressing kisses against her neck as he held her close.
Melody started laughing uproariously.
“What?” he asked.
“We didn’t even take our helmets off!” she said, laughing again, Liam joined her in her mirth, snuggling her even closer as they shared their laughter.
Chapter Fourteen
The rest of the trip home passed way too quickly and before she knew it, they were pulling up in front of her parents’ home.
“Melly!” The gleeful cry of a child was all the warning they had before the small bodies of her brother and sisters hit them from all sides.
She grinned and bent down to hug each of them close as she realized how much she’d missed their childish chatter.
Then all five of them froze as they looked up at Liam. Maggie was the first to speak in a loud whisper, “He’s our brother now too, isn’t he? Do we hug him?”
Liam grinned and got down on one knee, opening his arms to the girl. “Indeed you do, little sister.”
Maggie hurled herself at him eagerly, Mandy approached more cautiously but did give him a tentative hug. Layla and Janine hugged him quickly then darted back out of reach. Maggie then plopped herself down on his knee as if she’d be perfectly content to stay all day.
Liam stood, scooping an arm under her to hold her securely in one arm, before extending a hand to Ransom. “Brother.”
Ransom released Melody from his strangling hug, pleased to be offered a manly greeting. “Brother,” he said with a nod.
Liam placed Maggie back on her feet to scamper after the rest of her siblings.
Melody’s cry of pleasure filled the air as her parents came into the room. She hurled herself at them with almost as much enthusiasm as her littlest sister.
“Mama, I’ve missed you!” she cried, hugging her mother tight.
Izzy lightly touched her braids as tears misted her eyes. “You look beautiful. Grayson, our baby is all grown up.”
Grayson smiled and hugged his daughter before tugging his mate to his side. Melody saw a suspicious sheen of moisture in her father’s eyes as well before he blinked it away.
He turned and greeted Liam with a hearty handshake before leading him away to discuss new training strategies. Liam stopped halfway out of the room and returned to lift Melody off the floor and kiss her deeply before setting her back on her feet and following the commander from the room.
“Well, I guess it’s safe to say the honeymoon went well?” Izzy asked drily.
“Oh, mama! I love him so much it hurts,” Melody told her mother earnestly.
“It’s hard to describe exactly what happens in the bonding experience, isn’t it?” Izzy asked.
“It’s like we’ve become two halves of a whole. I don’t like being away from him for a minute,” Melody confided.
Izzy smiled. “I know. Come, let’s have some tea and I’ll fill you in about what’s been happening around here. Maggie, go on out and play with your brother and sisters.”
Melody frowned as she watched her little sister’s shoulders slump as she walked slowly outside. She’d seemed fine a minute ago when she and Liam got home. “What’s wrong with Maggie?”
“Your father sent Jackson to Ramel,” Izzy said. “Maggie’s been almost inconsolable.”
“They’ve always been close; I’m sure it’s almost as bad as when Griff and Braeden left her,” Melody said, her brow wrinkled.
Izzy sighed. “Yes. She’ll be fine. I’m so glad you’ve accepted Liam as your mate.”
“Once we truly bonded, it wasn’t nearly as difficult as I’d made it out to be,” Melody said with an embarrassed flush.
“They are a passionate lot, the Ramelians,” Izzy said with a grin.
“Mother, please, I don’t want to hear anything about you and daddy’s passion. I get it!”
Izzy laughed. “Liam seems good with the children.”
“He really is, though I hope we don’t have any right away. I want time to just be mated; the rest can come later as far as I’m concerned.”
“When the time comes, you’ll be ready,” her mother assured her.
Melody smiled. “I’m ready for anything that comes our way. I can handle it; after all, I am the commander’s daughter.”

The Commander’s Mate
While she struggles to change a tire on a lonely road late at night, Izzy’s quiet, uneventful life changes suddenly and drastically when Grayson—a huge, handsome male from the planet Ramel—comes to her rescue. Earth has recently entered into a treaty which gives each Ramelian male the right to select a human woman as his mate, and to Izzy’s shock, Grayson chooses her.
Grayson tries to reason with his chosen mate, pointing out that she’ll be the wife of the high commander of the Ramelian fleet, but when discussion proves useless he pulls her over his knee, bares her bottom, and gives her the first spanking of her life. He will be a kind, fair, and loving husband, but he will be obeyed.
Despite her protests, once aboard Grayson’s ship Izzy receives a thorough, intimate, and deeply embarrassing medical examination as her new husband watches. It is only when Grayson takes her to his bed that Izzy begins to look forward to her future. He proves himself an attentive and skilled lover and she is almost instantly overcome with desire for him.
But even as Izzy finds herself falling in love with Grayson, she wonders if she can ever adjust to life as the commander’s mate. She craves his touch, but can a man who dominates her body so utterly also lay claim to her heart?
