When he says he claims me, he means forever, and that makes my brain stop dead in its tracks. Thargar is part of a group of alien dragon-men who have kept us safe, provided for us, and without them we’d all surely be dead or captured by the Order to be used as breeders. We’re all super grateful, but neither horniness nor survival needs are a great reason to say yes to being claimed forever. I want to spend the rest of my life with someone I know I’ll always be happy with, but the steel jawed, well-endowed alien and I haven’t had a chance to get to know one another at all yet. My v-card isn't something I want to just throw away, but Thargar says he'll prove to me he's my soul mate and worth it. Fated mates? Check! Instalust/love? Check! A virgin heroine and an alpha male who will do literally anything to protect his mate? Double check! You're going to love Miranda Martin's Mick's Claiming - Red Planet Jungle #4.
