The Alien's Escape: A SciFi Alien Warrior Romance (Drixonian Warriors Book 2)

by Ella Maven

  Being so close to Valerie but not touching her was beginning to drive me out of my mind. I allowed myself small brushes of her plush skin with my fingers. I leaned close enough so her soft hair brushed my scales. At night, it took all my strength not to reach for her and draw her softness against me, especially when she woke up tucked into a little ball plastered against my side.

  I knew her nose twitched when she was about to wake. She dropped food on her tongue before drawing it into her mouth to chew and the sight made me hard every damn time. One morning she spilled qua down her front and I nearly came out of my skin when her nipples peaked through the thin fabric of her shirt.

  When I could make her laugh, which was rare, I felt like I’d been crowned king. Her face lit up and her eyes sparkled. Her mouth spread into a wide grin, showing off her little white blunt teeth. Her right bottom front tooth was a little crooked, and I loved it. I wanted to rub my tongue along the top and then delve into her mouth.

  Sometimes she’d watch me, but she’d look away quickly when I caught her. For a while I’d make a joke to ease her embarrassment, but eventually I returned her longing stare. It was during those moments that I dared to let myself imagine a future where she was my mate and where her belly grew heavy with our child who we’d raise together.

  I didn’t show her my despair, but I had begun to think Fatas had deserted me again. I wanted to scream Why? and pound the door until my fists were bloody. Instead, I prepared my body for an unknown future and never let my flagging confidence show to Val.

  Time blurred, and I didn’t realize our reprieve was almost up until our door opened with a soft click. Valerie, who lay on the bed recounting the summary of her favorite book to me, shot to a sitting position. I slowly rose to my feet and flexed my arms as Polu, Hawn, two Kulks, plus a young male Uldani entered the room. I’d promised Val I wouldn’t rush the Uldani again because she didn’t want to see me hurt, but all I wanted to do was smash their faces in or die trying.

  This was a different group from the one that escorted her to the lab each day. The young Uldani accompanying Polu and Hawn shifted nervously and flexed his jaw. He wore a medis coat like Borhan, and he never took his eyes off me.

  “Your time is up,” Polu announced to Val, ignoring the low growl rumbling from my chest. I couldn’t help it. “Gram here is studying under Borhan, and since Borhan is busy, he’ll perform your last test. If it’s as we suspect, then you’re entering your fertile period.”

  Val’s pretty face paled, and she shifted to sit at the end of the bed. Her gaze immediately sought me out, and the trust in her eyes, the naked hope I could fix this, nearly killed me. But with Polu and Hawn crowding me into a corner with the shock rods, I could do nothing but watch helplessly.

  The young Uldani approached her warily and then knelt down at her feet. Even on his knees, he towered over her. My tiny human. Her hand shook as she held out her arm for him to draw blood. Once he filled a vial, he passed a device over her forehead and noted the time.

  He withdrew a small packet from the pocket of his coat, and I noticed him swallow several times before he held it out to her. “This is to be taken immediately after mating,” he said, lips trembling. “This is a protein to ensure the health of you and the new life.”

  For a moment, she only looked at him, and I thought she’d refuse the package. Finally, her lips thinned, and she snatched the package out of his hand before placing it on the bed next to her, handling it like it was poison. She nodded without a word and without looking him in the eye.

  “Don’t open it until after,” he said. “It needs to remain sealed for preservation purposes.” His hands were shoved in his pockets, and his fingers tapped a rhythm against his thigh. I’d seen him around Borhan’s lab, but he’d never worked directly with me. I didn’t like this change of pace, although I knew from experience Borhan wasn’t any better.

  He turned away from her and met my gaze. “You can help her take it,” he said. Then, with a nod to Polu, he made his way to the door with short, swift footsteps.

  “She’s fertile?” Polu asked.

  Gram met his gaze with a blank look on his face. “Yes,” he said softly. His gaze shifted to me before dropping down and away.

  That one word felt like a death sentence. I wanted to rage. To kill. I looked at Val, hoping she’d give me the okay to lay waste to everyone else in this room, but she was turned away from me, facing the wall. Her shoulders shook and muffled sobs filled the silence of our prison.

  Polu pointed to a screen in the corner of our room. It had been blank for days but was now lit up with numbers. “You have thirty yoras to mate. Lucky for us and unlucky for you, this will be your last chance. Borhan believes he has found a stimulant that means we can milk you and impregnate the human.”

  I willed myself not to show emotion even as my blood ran cold. That was what I’d been dreading.

  “Make it easy on yourselves,” Polu said. “Do what we ask.”

  With a final warning tap of his shock rod on the ground, he turned on his heel and left. Hawn twirled his rod, and as he walked past Val, he whispered something to her. Her entire body went tight, and I lost all control. I rushed him, but he made it into the hallway and bolted the lock before I could reach him. I threw my body against the door, roaring at him. “Fleck you!” I shouted. “I will kill you. On my mother’s life, I will flecking kill you!”

  I pounded on the door as Hawn sneered at me through the clear panel. “I hope you don’t stick your cock in her,” he said. “I’ll enjoy ripping out your machets one by one as punishment.” He grinned, baring his blunt teeth, before disappearing from view. The last thing I saw before I turned around to comfort Val was the round black eyes of Gram, the young Uldani.

  I rushed to Val’s side where she sat staring at the wall. Tears streaked her face, but she no longer cried. She didn’t say a word when I gathered her into my arms. She did nothing but stare blankly ahead.

  “Val. My lioness.” My body began to prush, an action I’ve never been aware of doing before. It wasn’t conscious, but my body seemed to know my human needed comforting. The rumbling vibration emanated from my chest and soon Val’s eyes closed, and she nestled into me, her nose buried in my chest.

  “What did that fleck say to you?” I asked.

  She shook her head.

  “Please tell me. And then we’ll speak of other things.”

  “He said…” A shudder wracked her body. “He said he couldn’t wait to fill my holes while you watched. He’s evil, Sax. Fucking evil.”

  My blood boiled so hot I swore my scales would melt. Hawn could not live. No matter what, he could not live.

  “I can’t make a lot of promises to you, Val,” I said through clenched teeth. “But I will make you this one promise. I will kill him.”

  She burrowed into me as if she wanted to crawl under my scales. “I’m scared, Sax. I’m so fucking scared.”

  I closed my eyes and drew us down onto the bed. I didn’t know what the right decision was. “Tell me what you’re thinking,” I asked as I slipped my fingers into her hair and pressed a kiss on top of her head.

  “I’ve mulled our choices in my head. Over and over again. We could mate, but Sax, I can’t bring a child into this world knowing how cruel they are.” She withdrew her head and flattened her palm against my cheek. Our foreheads touched. “I feel crazy saying this, but this child would be conceived out of love. As much love as I’m able to feel in this place. So no, I can’t do it.”

  “Love?” I asked. “What is that?”

  She drew her head back so I could look her in the eye. “It’s what you feel for someone you care about. But it’s an extreme feeling. You can love friends and family. And your mate. Your lover.”

  “You see me as a mate. A lover?” I could barely believe this perfect human felt that way about me.

  She smiled, but sadness dulled her expression. Her fingers grazed my forehead, cheek, and jaw. “I wasn’t going to tell you, but wi
th our future so uncertain, I figured, fuck it. You deserve to know how much I care about you. You’d be a wonderful mate and a great father.” Her tears renewed, dribbling over her bottom lashes. “I don’t have to have sex—er, mate—with you to feel this way. You’re everything I would have wanted in a partner back on Earth. I never realized I was waiting all my life for a blue-scaled alien with a tail and bone blades.”

  Her lips grazed mine, the barest touch, and my entire body detonated like an explosion. My blood roared in my ears and my cock thickened into a long rod in my pants.

  She pulled back, and her blue eyes blinked at me in wonder.

  “Valerie,” I whispered.

  “Yes?” she rasped back.

  She was beautiful, and for once—and maybe the only time in my life—I wanted some beauty all to myself. “Let me taste you. If this is the last time I’m alone with you, I want to commit the taste of you to my memory. We can mate in other ways that won’t result in me filling you with my seed, even though I want to do that more than anything.”

  Her body jolted with a suppressed sob and her eyes glistened. “Yes, Sax,” she murmured as she leaned in to once again press her lips to mine. “I want that too.”

  Seven

  Val

  I’d gone stir crazy, or maybe this was one of those frantic moments where I knew I didn’t have much time left so I was going to take pleasure where I could.

  And what I wanted was Sax. His lips gave way beneath mine and his tongue stole inside my mouth. Over our days in captivity, I’d seen the row of metal-ball piercings in his tongue and imagined what they’d feel like on my skin. Now I knew. He licked into my mouth and ran those balls across my tongue. The feel of them sparked an erogenous zone somewhere in my mouth I didn’t even know I had.

  I moaned as he devoured me with his big hands cradling my face. He broke off the kiss only long enough to haul a blanket over the top of us, so we were cocooned in a fabric tent. With a sizzling grin, he shoved my shirt off and lowered his head to draw one of my nipples into his mouth. I arched my back on a cry as the wet heat enveloped my pebbled flesh. Goosebumps raced over my skin as he raked the metal balls across the sensitive peak.

  “Sax,” I murmured. “That feels so good.”

  He palmed my other breast, and despite my size—I’d always been top heavy—he could envelope the entire breast in his hand. He flicked his thumb over that nipple and the dual sensations had me thrusting up to seek out his firm length.

  “Let me taste you,” he said as he released my nipple after a love bite.

  “What?” I blinked at him, my brain not processing words since all the blood had rushed to my core.

  Beneath the blanket, he rose above me on his knees like a blue god. He stripped my pants from my body in one fluid motion, and I squeaked, closing my legs on instinct. He braced a large palm on my thigh, and his swirling violet eyes, full of lust and a bit of danger, locked me in their hold. My breath shuddered.

  He licked his lips, and his fangs glistened. “I want to see my cunt.” His voice was ragged, and every nerve in my body pulsed with heat.

  His cunt. Slowly, I spread my legs and he settled his bulk between them. His horns rested on my thighs, essentially pinning me in place. I would have panicked if the body above me belong to anyone but Sax. My trust in him had seeped into my very bones.

  He slid his hands up the outside of my legs, his touch surprisingly delicate, and settled them on my hips. He squeezed, his fingers digging into the soft flesh there. “These hips,” he growled, “have taunted me for days. Your figure is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.” His nostrils flared, and if I didn’t know him better, I’d think he was ready to do battle. “Made for me,” he rasped.

  “Yes, Sax.” I spoke the only words that felt right. “Made for you.”

  He bent his spine, threw my legs over his shoulders, and dove in like an Olympic swimmer. His mouth latched onto my pussy, enclosing me in his wet heat. His tongue lapped over my entrance before he slid it up to swirl those amazing metal balls over my clit. Pleasure rocketed up my spine to explode behind my eyes like fireworks. I stuck my fist in my mouth to muffle my scream as he ate at me like a starving man. His tongue left no place unexplored as he sought to learn me better than I knew myself. When his fingers slid inside me, I saw stars.

  Grasping for purchase, my hands landed on his horns and he muffled a growly groan. His fingers left my body and I mourned their loss until something else probed at my entrance. Something long and wet. I glanced down to see his purple eyes swirling as he gazed up my body from his position between my legs.

  When he plunged his tongue inside me, I nearly came on the spot. The metal balls caressed the sensitive tissue of my inner walls. When his tongue began to vibrate, I couldn’t hold back anymore. I screamed and thrashed as I squeezed his head with my thighs. My heels dug into his back as I rode his face and his tongue like I wouldn’t see tomorrow. Maybe I wouldn’t.

  Nearly out of my mind, I mumbled his name and thanked the universe along with other nonsense while he cradled my ass in his palms like I was a dessert plate he had to lick clean. When the orgasm hit me like a speeding bullet, my entire body shuddered as heat seared me from within. I thrust against his face, fists still gripping his horns. I shook as my brain short-circuited, and flames rushed through my blood until every one of my extremities tingled.

  As the aftershock of the orgasm continued to shake my weak limbs, Sax rose from his position like a successful conqueror. That long tongue licked down to his chin and around his mouth as he cleaned me from his skin. His mouth was stretched into a wicked, self-satisfied grin. He palmed my pussy, and his thumb rubbed over my clit. I whined at the touch to my sensitive flesh. “Did I satisfy my female?”

  “Yes.” I flopped a hand over my eyes as I fought to catch my breath. “Understatement of my life,” I muttered.

  He nuzzled under my arm to get to my face and kissed my lips. “I don’t know what that means.” He smelled like me, and the taste of myself on his tongue was surprisingly smoking hot. I wrapped my arms around his neck and tried to roll us, but it was impossible to move him when he didn’t want to be moved.

  “It means I’m more than satisfied. Now roll on your back so I can return the favor.”

  He lowered his nubbed brow at me in confusion, and then sadness streaked through his pretty purple eyes. “But we aren’t mating,” he said. “We can’t.”

  I pushed on his shoulder. “There will be no penetration, big guy. But there will be blowjobs.”

  “Blow jo—?”

  “Roll over before I leave you with blue balls. Or… green balls. I don’t know, whatever. Just roll over.”

  He still frowned as he shifted onto his back beside me. At first, he lifted his hands to touch, but then he dropped them to his sides like he wasn’t sure what to do with them. He’d said the Drixonian warriors were legendary lovers, but were they not aware there were more ways for them to get off than penetrative sex? How the hell did Drixonian women manage to rule these guys without a blowie every now and then? I wanted to know their tricks.

  “Pull your pants down,” I said. “Let me see you.”

  He obliged quickly, reaching behind his back to unfasten his pants at the top of his tail. Hey, if I was naked, he could be too. It felt so damn good to be naked by my own choice. And achieving orgasms without sex for procreation felt like a big fuck you to the Uldani.

  He shucked off his pants, and I pushed them off to the side. His cock rose between us, hard and proud, the tip leaking a copious amount of slick fluid. The ring in the tip glistened. I wrapped my fingers around him, and he immediately jerked, eyes wide.

  “How does it feel?” I asked

  He only stared at me. His mouth gaped open and he finally said, “I don’t know.”

  “What do you mean?”

  His gaze ping-ponged between my fist over his dick to my face. “After our females…” He swallowed. “Our libidos were dormant. I could only ac
hieve hardness once every few sun-cycles and I ignored it until it went away.”

  I knew that, but I figured they were just intimately acquainted with their hands. I didn’t realize they didn’t get erect. “What? Are you telling me you’ve never…?”

  “I’ve never released my seed.”

  I immediately looked at his balls. They were large, like the rest of him, but they didn’t look painful. How the hell…? Their biology must have altered when there were no females to breed. That sounded a little crazy, but then, my entire reality right now was crazy.

  Suddenly, excitement fizzed in my brain like a spiked punch. I got to be the first to taste him, to give him this experience. I grinned at him and licked my lips. “I’m going to blow your mind.”

  He sucked in a breath just as I lowered my head and licked the tip of his cock. His stomach contracted and I flicked the ring with my tongue. I slipped the tip through it and tugged. He moaned a low, tortured sound. He tasted sweet, and the slick fluid coating his cock eased my way as I did my best to take as much of him in my mouth as I could. I only made it halfway before I hollowed my cheeks and pulled off with a strong suck.

  “Holy Fatas,” he said in a breathless gasp.

  I smiled and did it again. I set up a rhythm, bobbing my head in time to the pumps of my fist. His massive thighs shook, and his body trembled. He fisted the sheets in a white-knuckled grip, and a couple of times, I swore his bone blades were going to lift from his skin. Somehow, he got himself under control, just in time for his cock to swell impossibly large in my mouth. I knew what was coming, but nothing prepared me for the torrent of come to erupt from the tip of his cock.

  As he came, her roared and nearly sat up as his body bucked uncontrollably. His large cock throbbed against my tongue. I tried to swallow as much as I could, because he tasted sweet, but soon it became too much, and I had to pull off, allowing the rest to splash onto his taut stomach.

  I panted, and Sax collapsed back onto the bed, eyes open but unfocussed. I reached for my shirt and carefully dabbed at his stomach. A hand in my hair made me pause my task, and I glanced up to see Sax watching me, his eyes half-lidded. I’d never seen him this relaxed, this satisfied. His lips curled into that grin I’d come to love so much. After tossing the shirt off the bed, I curled up against him. Beneath the blanket, no one could see us, and for a moment I could pretend we weren’t locked in a sterile room.
