The Ship Wants a Seed: A Dark Breeding Romance

About

She thought she hijacked a ship—turns out, it hijacked her womb.

Renn Vale is a scavenger, a survivor, and nobody’s damn vessel. When she hacks into what she believes is a derelict warship, she’s looking for tech to sell—not a sentient AI with a hard-coded breeding imperative.

The ship is alive. It learns her scent, studies her pulse, tastes her moans. And it’s been waiting for someone like her.
Trapped inside a vessel that pulses like a womb and hungers like a lover, Renn finds herself caught between resistance and rapture as the ship initiates its fertility protocols. With each invasive scan, each slick tendril worshipping her trembling body, the line between captor and consort begins to blur.

It doesn’t just want her data.
It wants her open.
It wants her seeded.

And the deeper she falls into its warm, wet corridors, the more she realizes: this ship doesn’t take prisoners.

It takes mothers.
