Prize (A Rough Sci-Fi Romance)

Exiled from Earth and intended for sale on a distant planet, the narrator is taken by Vane—a fierce alien who doesn't buy but takes what he wants—after a confrontation. Despite a brutal initial encounter, Vane ultimately chooses to keep her as his mate rather than simply display her as a trophy. The story includes intense themes of dominance and submission, along with scenes of punishment and humiliation.
