"This ship is nice, I guess that man was all alone. No one else on here." she said.
"I know, ran a scan before I stole it. Not my first stolen jet but this is the exact same model I stole as a teenager. Would you believe that?" I asked her, getting to my feet and walking over to her while she smiled softly.
"What's with the sudden change in heart? You were never this open before you decided to ditch the plan." she asked, I nod and bite my lip, shaking as I struggle to think of what to say to her.
"I couldn't let you go, I just couldn't. What you said to me, about having to fight the evil in your life, having to fight for what kind of fate you wanted...you were right." I said, I hold her in an embrace and lean in.
Only now can I see all the subtle markings, the subtle beauty in her eyes and her voice as she giggled and looked into my eyes. It was so strange, they said that a Jzarian mating pair form an inseparable bond upon first contact. That was why she fell in love with me so quickly, it was fated to be that I would belong with her and she with me.
"I'm glad you can see it my way." she said and pressed her lips against mine once more.
I whimpered into her grasp and she slides her fingers over my cheek and I run my tongue over her's. I press her against the kitchen counter and slipped off her shirt, her flowing dress drifting off of her body as her bare chest is revealed to me. I rub the curves on her side and lean into her while her hands dashed over my abs and my chest, feeling every inch of scarred and sculpted muscle on my body.
"I love you." she remarked.
I feel her lips sliding over me as I kissed my way down to her chest and took her breasts into my mouth. Their massive shape is enveloped by my lips as I pull on her mounds and run my tongue over her nipples several times. I feel her quivering before I slide my hands over her hips and dashed the fabric from her legs. Her bare pussy is revealed and I stared at her soaking wet folds.
"Give it to me." she begged.
"Yes, yes beg for me. Beg for your alien master, your mate." I said.
"Please, please. Fuck me, fuck your mate." she moaned
I slip inside without a second thought and begin to shut while she cried out for me. I dashed my fingers against other things as I slipped all the way in and shut my eyes while I pressed against her cervix. I feel the vibration of the thrusters rocking the entire ship and running through my feet and my hands as I slide in and out of her. I can feel myself slipping all the way in, I bite my lip and feel myself throbbing while her blond hair tussle over her neck. I grinned and feel my tip swelling as the heat dripped onto her insides.
"Please please don't stop." she said.
"Oh fuck you're so tight. You feel so good." I said.
I was so big compared to her, I could move and bend her to my will. I chose to be gentle, I rolled her clit under my finger, her soaking wet folds enveloping my member as I slipped all the way in and let myself rest deep inside of her. I can feel my tip throbbing, the slickness of her walls coating me as her breasts bounced in my grasp. I watched all of her curves shake over and over again while I grinned at her.
"I love these curves, I love them." I said.
"I'm glad you do, oh back home they hate this." she murmured. I could hardly believe that any creature in this world could hate something so beautiful.
She stroked my blue skin, her pale fingers dashing over my tattoos and my scars while my blue skin flushed a shade darker. She looked into my red eyes and I grabbed her buttocks, smacking them and letting the flesh ripple in my grasp while I kissed her. I slide all the way in and cried out as I feel myself approaching. She did as well apparently because she pulled me in and moaned into my ear. I pinched her nipples and pulled as I sunk deep inside before letting it all gush out of me.
"GRAH!" I roared.
"Yes!" she moaned.
I feel her walls tensing around me as I slide all the way inside of her and let the hot seed gush out onto her folds. She whimpered and lets the heat run over her cervix and her eggs while her breasts bounced in my grasp and her eyes rolled back. Her curves bounce in my grasp and I rest inside of her while panting, my member completely coated in her heat.
We stand there for a while, she slides off the counter and her back rubs the wood paneling while her breath grows steadier and steadier. My muscles relax and I sit beside her, she rests her head on my shoulder and sighs.
"I guess I am your mate." she said.
"I suppose you are." I remarked.
I feel her shallow breath rubbing my shoulder, her eyes fluttering in the dark and her smile growing wider while she kissed me a couple of times. I feel her shaking, quivering while the hum of the spaceship was all that was spoken for those few moments. My hand takes her's, my musculature tensed and my red eyes shut for a brief while. We have our moment of peace after a couple days of mayhem.
CHAPTER SEVEN
Helen
We've spent a couple of days in space already, we mostly sat there and talked or played with the ship's systems. He would educate me on the finer points of interstellar civilization and I would tell him of Earth. We were almost at the end of this solar system, about to enter the true coldness of space.
It was so strange being with him like this, this man that I hadn't known for days prior to this. A man that rescued me from such a terrible fate and showed me such unconditional kindness upon our first interaction, perhaps I was latching onto him and that it was unhealthy to be doing so but something was different about him, when I looked at him I felt something else, like something not quite rational was binding us, an ethereal force. Maybe this was the power of the bond between us, the mating that had already begun when he laid his eyes onto me.
"What are you making?" he asked.
"Hamburgers. Or something close to it at least, I hope this is meat." I said while I prepared dinner for the both of us. He wanted to cook but I insisted that I wanted to try out the ingredients, they looked so exotic but I was open to possibilities. I flipped the meat and it began to crumble but I retained some semblance of hope. The closest thing they had to bread were these soft bundles of spongy material that he told me were made from a staple food that they had up here. Close enough I suppose.
I laid the food down and he took a bite, smiling with each one while I nodded at him. We both remain silent for a while, contemplating our next move, what would be happening to us soon after this. The sounds of the ship's engines fill the air, despite being free I still had the fear of being captured ruminating in the back of my mind.
"Do you think he's already noticed?" I asked him.
"Yes, he has. He's noticed ever since we got shot down and were late for your return. He's likely tracking us right now, tracking this exact ship. Of course, he'll likely never be able to catch up with any meaningful effort to capture us, we should be safe." he said with great certainty.
"You sure they'll take you back on Jzar?" I asked, he shrugged.
"No to be honest I don't. I don't' even know if they'll recognize me but even they understand the weight of finding your mate. They'll give me the time necessary to make all the proper accommodations, every Jzarian's discovery of their mate is of extreme significance and no amount of disdain can disrupt that." he said.
"And once we're back......you and I will be together forever, right? I won't be able to...." I began, the sudden sadness of never being able to see my homeworld again washing over me while I frowned.
"We can return...if that's what you wish. You can have your old life back but...I will need a child." he said.
"A child?.....I suppose that's not too much of a price." I started.
He nods slightly and reached out, he takes my hand into mine and I sighed while he glanced over my body. We hold one another's hands and look into each other's eyes before I hear his voice begin to sound off once more.
"But I do...I want you to stay. In these last couple of days, i've felt nothing but....affection for you and I would prefer if things sta
yed this way." he said.
I stare at him with my melancholy eyes and frowned, I wanted to be with him as well but part of me wanted to return home. Good news for him was that I was thinking it over and....well home didn't have much to offer me anymore. I was going to work the same job and find some man, I don't know if I would be as happy as I would be joining him. He led a life full of adventure, of excitement, it was a life that I envied and wanted to share in.
"What happened to make you leave Jzar?" I asked.
"My parents cast me out into the nothingness, the void. I had nothing to go back to at the moment and while wandering the streets homeless, I found my calling. I found my mentor there, a man that taught me everything I would come to know, Pzoria, an adventurer like I am now. Ever since then i've been riding through the darkness, I tried to be the same kind of figure to Kagi and Koros...I suppose I wasn't good enough." he said, I bite my lip and watch him before reassuring him, his pained expression hurt me as much as it did him.
"You were...don't blame yourself." I remarked and stroked his back.
"I let my men down, I botched a mission....the least I can do is not let my mate down as well. It's the only thing I really have left. You don't know what it's like drifting for an entire lifetime, from contract to contract in hopes that one day you'll make enough and get away. The day never came and I think eventually I thought that it was all hopeless, still, a tiny sliver remained to keep me going on. When I look at you I see none of that, I see an opportunity to start fresh, to get away from this dirty business." he said.
"What did you have in mind?" I asked.
"I don't know......I've never learned to do anything else but survive. I can't join the military because of my record, I can't hold down a steady job because of my lack of knowledge on how to do anything else but fight and steal....But we'll find our way, perhaps on some distant planet, we'll find a place where we can live together in peace....What was your life like? Was it the same? Or did you have a future, hope?" he asked.
"Well I had a future but i'm afraid our ideas of hope and a life worth living are very different. I had a job back home, something to go back to, something to hope for, but none of that made me happy. I feel happier on my feet, off the steady path and somewhere more exciting like the life you lead, although I guess we both fell into the traps of disliking what we did." I remarked.
"I suppose we did.....they say that a mate is supposed to be your perfect match. A mirror image of your life in a different scenario, a different environment. When I look at you I see the same pain, the same struggle and I....I know that we're the same." he said, holding my hand, an instant kinship was felt between the two of us when he met me.
"Then......I guess it's settled then." I said with a grin and turned on my heel to go to my room. It's been a long day and I wanted to shut my eyes and drift off into nothingness.
"I'll join you soon, there are still some things I have to check up on." he said.
I go inside and tuck myself under the covers, I hum a tune as I feel the tiredness slowly creep up my back. All of that exhaustion trails up my body as I groan and shut my eyes. I feel my body shutting down, this darkness flowing over my eyes, not like ordinary sleep at all. I feel the weakness growing in my chest, the feeling of helplessness the drowning, it all comes down and I try to cry out but it's too late.
"Osorn!" I called out in my mind but he had no idea what was happening.
I grip the pillows tightly, unable to move too much or make a sound. I was so tired, it felt like such a chore to even lift a finger up. Sweat crowns my brow and I lick my lips, my fingernails digging into the pillows as I nearly crumble down right then and there. It was such a strange feeling to be having but soon the exhaustion makes me succumb, I shut my eyes and my hands relax, I stop tensing and let it wash over me, finally giving in.
#
Osorn
It was late and I should have been with her but I still needed to run a few diagnostics on this ship. If anything was wrong with it I would have to stop and steal us a new one and I really hoped that that would not be the case this time.
I stare at the monitors, all of the signals humming through while the monitors blinked against the backdrop of the void. I see the stars glimmering, fading in and out of my vision as we make our way from my home. It's been so long since i've seen those desert sands and those massive cities, I wonder if anyone would recognize me. The first thing I would need to do would be to find a local shaman and inform him of what had happened, then he would offer us the proper accommodations and protections granted to a mating couple. Then she could give me a child and I could plan everything from there, perhaps they would give me a second chance and let me join the military once I showed them what I could do.
My thoughts then fell to Jumo, he was likely hot on our trail at this point, tailing our every move with great precision. He wasn't a large crime lord by any means, his organization wasn't a part of multiple solar systems but he was still a threat. Setopolis and all of the colonies surrounding it were definite political and militaristic forces. I would have to tread carefully, keep us hiding until I worked out a deal with the Jzarians or gave us new identities. I had to find a way to provide, even if I would have to steal I would provide for my family.
Of course, I had a great deal of confidence in the fact that my race would have my back once I informed them of the gravity of the situation. Mating between a Jzarian and another species was unheard of so the doctor's would likely want to study us to discover the intricacies involved, maybe lonely Jzarians could be sent to Earth, I don't know but I was grateful for such a wonderful woman.
But it was time to retire to my bed, to hold her and dream with her. It was time to hum into her ear and sigh while she caressed my back, it was time to finally fade into the realm of sleep and let her hold me while we both rocketed off into the world of dreams. I get up from the pilot seat and walk back to the room, humming to myself as I opened the door and stepped inside to see her lain there under the covers, that beautiful blond hair drifting over her face while she smiled.
"Hello darling." I murmured and laid beside her. I gripped her back and instantly noticed that something was amiss.
Her breathing was irregular.
"Helen." I said and shook her a bit, she wasn't responding.
I began to panic.
I shook her a bit more and she still isn't budging, I listened to her heartbeat and everything seemed fine but she wasn't responding to anything that I did. I got the medical kit and monitored her, the sickness was marked as untreatable with the kit and that it had a high lethality rate when I tried scanning her. I broke out the syringes but held myself back, it was better not to experiment when I didn't know what was affecting her. Only then do the dreaded thoughts begin to crawl up my spine.
I would have to take her to a clinic, out here, in all of this cold, in Kaiso's and Jumo's territory where we could likely be caught. Jzar was still weeks away and judging by the measured lethality rate, we didn't have too much time.
But I couldn't leave her like this, I couldn't leave her here.
"Shit what do I do....fuck what do I do?" I panicked and scurried around the ship, holding my head in my hands and freaking out.
Eventually, I calmed myself and sat beside her, I studied her face, the paleness increasing and the pink leaving her cheeks. I stroked her blonde hair and wait for her to open her eyes and ask me what was wrong. I run my hand along her side and she shivered while her fingers tensed up and she groaned out in pain. I could do nothing to help my mate but save her and relegate her to an arguably worse fate....but I couldn't let her die!
I grunted and get to my feet, tightening my fists and walking over to the pilot seat. I typed in coordinates for any nearby settlements and find a nearby colony on a moon. I set course for it, hoping that they had a clinic or a doctor there that could care for her. I studied the signature of the colony to see if there would be any of Jumo's or Kaiso's sol
dier's there. I bite my lip when I pick up the familiar signals of some of the ships, they were definitely looking around but I would need to save her somehow.
"Alright, alright....." I muttered and steered towards it.
It took a couple of minutes and in those brief moments I could feel my soul shaking, I could feel my body shivering and the cold creep up my spine as I thought of what might happen to her when I took her there. They would take her back to Jumo to have her blood drained, to be used as a tool for the rest of her life. They would likely execute me on the spot or perhaps Jumo had some sick intentions and he wanted to torture me. There was a chance, a chance that I could break out and free her or that I could survive and free her, but that chance didn't exist when it came to her making it through this sickness. The diagnosis tool told me to take her to a clinic immediately and Jzar was still weeks away, it also told me that her temperature was skyrocketing which probably meant a lethal end within a few hours.
"I'm sorry Helen." I muttered, it would have been better if she had never been captured and born with that cursed blood.
As I land and see the soldiers begin to close on my location, I take her out of the ship and run towards the doctor. His office wasn't that far away, just a couple of meters away from me, I would take her in and give her to him and accept my fate. We were in the middle of a parking lot for spaceships, all of these metal behemoths situated around me while I dashed in between them, staring at the fighter jets landing in adjacent spots, soldiers jumping out and chasing after me before I got to the door of the clinic and pulled it open with one arm while holding her over my shoulder with the other. I walk in and lay her down in front of the secretary and the doctor is called out, then I hear it.
