So that night we speak while on the bed. His eyes glazed over as he watches the skylight, the stars glimmer above him and I laid beside him, unmoving and fretting with every breath that he took.
"You know what this means right? It almost assuredly means that you're going to die in this entire attack of yours." I state and he shakes his head with a frown. His hands grasp mine and I can feel the shivering overtake me as I leaned into his chest and began to cry.
I had only just redeemed him and now he was about to take the final step and try risking himself. I was distraught, I wanted to tell him that his sins were forgiven and that he had earned his freedom but the humans will want more than that. They won't just take my word for it and they won't just allow some information from him be the price of his freedom. They desired more, far more than we could ever offer without him risking his life to save Penny.
And I knew this truth very well. I just didn't want to acknowledge it at all.
"I won't die. I can't without returning to you and fostering the life that I've always wanted with you." he admitted and I stumbled over my words as the sobbing began.
In the last few days things have almost entirely returned to normal. He wasn't allowed to travel to most of the ship but was allowed to travel around a fair bit of the living quarters. He had told me how sorrowful he was and how he was going to change. He had admitted that he was wrong, he had swallowed his pride and was now actively aiding us. There was no trace of the bitter, arrogant man that he once was. He was still the same at his core but there was a change that I had welcomed. The air between us was completely uninhibited and warm now. Each night was filled with either passion or simple moments of reflection as we appraised the skylight above us.
"And how can you be so sure. What if you fail?" I cried into his chest while he rubbed my back. Those strong arms of his pull me in close and I shuddered as I think of all the ways that this could go wrong, I couldn't lose both him and Penny, not to mention most of my crew as dead already. I wanted someone I loved to stay with me dammit! "You're' tough *sic* but you're not strong enough to come out of this unscathed, are you? I don't want you to go...You can't leave me too! There's so much I want to do with you! I never would have thought I wanted to do any of this when I first met you me but I want a life now! I want children and a home! I don't know if I can stomach it if-"
"This is my quest and my quest alone. To redeem myself without putting my life on the line and sufficiently paying for what I have done would be too easy. I don't want to pay in a half measure, I want to be sure that I redeemed myself. If I stay here and do nothing then I will never receive the life that we have discussed at length, I will never get to hold you and my children while we travel to wherever we like. That is something that I can't do without accomplishing this first." He whispers in my ear while stroking my shoulder. My brown locks of hair brushed his chest and he sighs while the brush of his breath rushes against my forehead. "I will always love you. I may have not realized it until recently but...I love you. I truly do. I can't imagine a day without you, a life without you. I will forever treasure you as my mate and my love and that is why I must do this to completely be worthy of you. To bring back your friend and to give you the life that you've always wanted."
I couldn't deny that I wasn't going to get everything that I wanted with him if he just stayed here. He wouldn't really earn his freedom should he just stay here so he had to risk himself in this battle if he really wanted to be with me and yet...I didn't want him to go. It was just my protective instincts taking over.
And then again I wanted Penny to have her freedom as well and there would be no way of returning her to us should he not take this mission. An invasion wouldn't be in our favor and since our goal was simply one girl it would be far more logical to just send this one man.
How much is your happiness really worth? That was the real question that I had to ask myself.
I stumble over my thoughts until I gave in and merely pressed my lips up against his. He sighs as he captures me in his embrace and I got on top. My legs wrapped around his waist and he sighs as he pulled me in for another round of kisses. His hands stroke every inch of my body as his fingers run over my curvaceous sides and my back. My moaning grows and grows while I continued to shudder, my hands clenching the sheets beneath us as he turns me over and gets on top instead.
"You love to be so dominant." I giggled "Well what are you waiting for? Claim your mate. She's finally fully willing."
I gasped as he began to tug my shirt and pants off. They were tossed to the wayside along with my undergarments as I am laid bare for him to see completely. I laid on my side, glancing up at him as he kneels there, gazing down with feral eyes before he leaned in and kissed my lips once more. His hands run down to my breasts and groped them, his claws rubbing my nipples while I gasp in approval. His horns glimmer in the light and his blue skin seems to writhe in a lustful dance under our shadows.
"Please, please take me. Oh god I want you more than you'll ever know. Just claim your mate." I moaned as the heat began to gather on my folds. His thighs slide against mine and I felt the distinct hardness of his member dashing along my abdomen as he leaned in.
"You want me to take you don't you? Then let me claim you, spread for me, take everything that I want to give." he growled into my ear and I nodded while his hand runs down to my crotch. His fingers slipped over my folds and slide deep inside of me while I whimper. I let my folds clench him as he continued to slip his finger in and out of me at a brisk pace.
My back arches while I am underneath him and my breasts shake while his lips travel downward. Every touch was heated and passion-filled and I couldn't deny him for long. He eyes my body curiously as if he was observing it for the first time. I suppose even after weeks of sex with me he was still unsure about a couple of things regarding the human anatomy. His lips pursed while he glances me over before his lips slips around my mounds and begin to suckle. He pulls with his mouth while his teeth gently slide against my nipples with every pull that he gives. I groaned while his tongue rolled in circles around my nipples, the heat begins to gather on my folds as my clit throbbed in approval in reaction to his actions. "Oh god! Please, please don't stop! Don't you dare stop! Go all the way." I moaned loudly while his lips continued to grope and tease my breasts.
His member was hardening and I could feel the distinct ridges on his shaft sliding against my thighs as he continued to suckle me. His muscles tensed up and those scales on his back shimmered while I run my fingers along every inch of his body. His arms clenched up and I watched as his muscles bulged and his red eyes became more and more feral. His fangs prod and I groaned as his kisses depart from my breasts and travel downwards to my womanhood that was now glistening for him.
He glances over my glistening folds and I grumbled while my thighs rubbed together in front of him. His lips spread and his tongue slides out before whipping across my throbbing clit and my folds. He gently brushed my clitoral hood with his finger and I gritted my teeth as I tried to control myself, I wanted to scream and to press his head against my folds but I had to maintain some semblance of civility for a moment.
"Tell me you want me my mate. Tell me that you belong to me. You are my human for all of time." he grunts. "You belong to me." he said as he kisses my clit with a wide grin on his face, my moaning reaches an apex and I nearly lose myself right then and there before he does anything else.
"I want you. I want you so badly. I belong to you and only you, please make me feel good, please ravage and use me as much as you like. I want to feel you! I want to be yours!" I groaned before his tongue slithered out of his mouth and slides all the way into me.
His fangs brushed my folds as the tip of his tongue slithered inside of me after dashing over a variety of nerve bundles that cause me to squirm and squeak for him. His tongue slid deeper and deeper and I could feel walls dripping heat onto the ridges of his tongue as well as his fangs while the tongue traveled d
eeper and deeper inside of me. My hands clenched the back of his head while my breasts bounced, his hands rest on my thighs and stroke them during his feast and I could feel his claws retracting so that he could grip me as hard as he liked, the tips of his blue fingers were turning pale and for a moment the lust seemed to overwhelm me. My legs wrapped around the back of his head to pull him deeper and my climax slowly approaches with every lick and quiver that his tongue gave me.
"I'm so close! Please! Please don't stop!" I moaned out while his red eyes glanced me over. His hands were preoccupied with massaging my thighs rubbing my clit, his muscles bulged against the grip of my legs and I finally lost it when his tongue began to vibrate as a result of moans that he was letting out, the noise vibrates his tongue as it dashed over my nerve bundles and I finally announced it.
"I'm coming!"
The orgasm lasted a short while as the rest of my juices and heat trickled down his lips and onto the sheets. He gets on his knees soon after I released him and he spreads my thighs to slide inside of him. His tip was already swelling and his shaft was throbbing with all the excitement that he could muster as he tugged his pants down and off. His entire muscular frame is revealed as my eyes feasted on those ridges, the crevices of rock hard flesh. He was bare for me to see and I enjoyed every inch of skin that was displayed as he finally leaned in and sunk his member deep inside of me. I grunt as I feel my folds being pressed apart, his immense size was something that I cherished during these night of fun, it felt like I would climax just from feeling the ridges of his member dash over my walls.
"Please, please. Make me yours. Don't make me regret anything about this last night with you." I reassured him and he nodded before leaning back in and sliding as deep as he could.
I grunted as I feel him spreading me apart. His tip glides over my womanhood and my depths as the nerve bundles along my sex throbbed and pulsed with energy in reaction to his powerful thrusts. I can feel his muscular hands clenching me as his torso tensed up. Those ridges of muscles flexed and I traced the veins, they swell with blood as his member dashed deeper and deeper inside of me. My long brown hair brushed my flushing cheeks and I shut my eyes while wonderful moans escaped my half-open mouth. His hands travel towards my breasts and caressed me as his tall, muscular body melded with my curves. His hands began to caress each and every one of my curves, stroking my arms, my backside, my thighs, my breasts, every inch of me was on display for him to see and he loved it.
"I don't care what any human male says. Your body is amazing my mate. Oh, I can't wait to have you all by myself. I will return and make you mine. I will make you mine forever." he snarled while pinching my nipples and sliding his tip over a rather sensitive spot. My clit is brushed by his finger as he slipped as deep as he could and let his member throb.
"Oh yes! Oh please!" I cried while my juices continued to collect on his thighs.
"With me. Come with me." snarled into my ear with his teeth gently brushing my earlobe. "Come with me."
"I'm coming!" I moaned out as he slides as deep as he could before facing his own end.
I feel the long ropes of seed flush across my depths and I nearly screamed. Our fluids mixed and coated his member as he slides it out and panted whilst in front of me. My folds were absolutely soaked and his massive member was engorged as much as it could be. I looked him over as he kneels there, even while on his knees he still towers over me completely and I loved it. I loved the feeling of him simply holding me down and doing whatever he wished to me, it was truly magical.
He falls to his side and lays beside me before collecting me in an embrace and holding me there. Tomorrow he would be setting off with a scout ship to initiate the infiltration. I don't know how long he would be gone but it would likely be a few weeks if not more. I just hope that he would return to me, that he would come back and build the lives that we both wanted to have.
"You better come back to me alright? I don't want you just leaving me high and dry. I won't stand for it. I'll go to the afterlife and find you if I have to..." I muttered while resting my head against his shoulder. His black horns shone in the starlight and his red eyes glowed in the darkness like two glimmering rubies.
"Do you know what happens to Rialans when they die? It is supposed that they venture to a realm far from here, to a heaven that is everlasting no matter what they have done. There they can harm no one, only joy can be created whilst there. They say that the seas shine forever and the land stretches for as far as the mind can imagine, every wish would come true there eventually." he starts but pauses and glances me over one more time before resting his hand on my cheek. "But I would rather wait until we can both go together. That is why I will do everything I can to not only bring back your friend but to survive as well."
The rest of the night I slept in his arms, hoping that it wasn't going to be the last night I would ever feel his embrace.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Relkor
I had arrived on the outskirts of the solar system earlier in the day and was just now arriving near the outer edge of the planet. I waited there and glanced over my readings before I got into contact with the local traffic control. I informed them that I was a part of Gerax's crew and I was arriving to meet back up with the captain and they soon let me enter. I tried to quell my fears by taking a deep breath but it didn't seem to work.
I suppose I would find out if they believed me soon enough
As soon as I land on the docking pad on this frankly drab planet, I am greeted by Gerax who approached me with open arms. His first question is why there wasn't anybody else with me to which I replied:
"They all perished in the crash. I was the only one to make it out in good enough condition to come back here." it was somewhat believable considering the fact that most of the crew had indeed died in the crash and the wreckage was far more terrible than anything that could be imagined. It was a wonder anyone lived after that crash actually.
"And the humans?" Gerax asked with a frown spreading on his face. "I know that they were behind it. Are they all dead at least?"
"I've killed everyone that I've encountered. Even the girl." I grunted with every ounce of stoicism and malevolence that I could muster, he nods immediately after I inform him of their "fate".
It made sense, at least somewhat. The humans weren't wearing armor when we crashed and they were in exposed areas of the ship as far as he knew so it made sense that none of them have survived. I got a bit curious though. How did Gerax survive the crash? Did he know it was coming and got on a pod to escape before we finally descended into the planet and nearly all died? Was he the one that brought Penny back to this place? Was that what had happened? I think I know the answer but bringing it up couldn't have hurt my chances. It would certainly make it look a bit more believable to him at least.
"Did you escape before the crash? I'm guessing yes." I stated and he nods.
"I got off on an escape pod and hitched a ride on the last ship that was escorting us. The girl is safe and with the prince, although without our ship and most of our men I have to say...we're kind of in dire straits. The only reason I'm still here is because he offered to house me for a little while as payment. Because most of our troops died, he's also able to still offer us our freedom and passes to reenter Rial if you want to." Gerax mutters while leaning against the steel wall of the hanger. I watched him with those crimson eyes of mine as I planned my next move. If I told him yes then I might be set on a ship right now and would never be able to return to save her. If I said nothing he would grow suspicious and probably interrogate me in the middle of the hangar bay. So I went with the soft neutral option.
"Sure but give me a couple days to regain my bearings and everything. I want to rest up before any of that happens." I muttered while stretching my arms out. "Is there a room for me here?"
"There certainly is." a new voice interrupted, this one was bit more light than Gerax's, it was pure and unfiltered in its essence. It als
o held a large degree of arrogance and condescension. It was the force of the prince and I knew it well.
He stumbles up to me in that purple robe of his, by his side was the girl. Her golden hair framed her pale cheeks and those blue eyes gazed at me with a tiny degree of shock before they went back to being despondent and averted. I glanced at her and back at the prince before giving a deep bow and stating "your majesty."
"I will have my guards show you your quarters. I'm sure that you will find everything that you need there." the prince declared while tightening his grip around the golden cane that rested against his thighs.
"I'm sure...." I admitted while glancing at Gerax. "What has caused you to come and greet me in person my prince? To what do I owe the honor?"
"Well I just wanted to personally thank you for delivering my mate of course. She is truly a marvel." admitted the prince as he caressed the girls hands, she was obviously in discomfort and I had to resist the urge to grab her right here and now before running towards the ship.
"Oh is that so? Well I am certainly happy for you your majesty." I admitted while glancing at her. She seemed beg me with those eyes and I can only hold myself back from acting foolishly. "She looks like she is quite content with you."
The conversation is uneventful thereafter and I am led back to my quarters by the guards. Along the way I try to observe all that I could, I looked for hints of anything that could aid in my capture of her and I did find some cues. Some exposed generators that could be taken advantage of, an armory, that sort of thing. I would have to wait and see, whoever, this was not the time to act without thought. I had to think this over and get her back safely with both of us in one piece, otherwise I would be leaving her behind to a lonely fate and that was something that I could not and would not allow.
