Ten minutes or so had passed as we lay in silence. Then out of nowhere, he began to kiss me again. I kissed him back and threw my arms around his neck. I pushed my fingers into his long hair. I could feel his wings spread out and flap twice. It threw a gush of wind on us, and it was spectacular. As he kissed me hungrily, I felt him grow hard once again inside of me. I could not believe it. Only ten minutes had passed, and he was ready to go again. He was all over me once more, just like an animal. A few moments later, we were deep into fucking once more. He moved in and out of me; I screamed and moaned. It was just like before; it was another round. This one lasted much, much longer. By the time he was done, I was completely exhausted. He seemed exhausted as well.
Finally, he rolled off of me. We lay in silence in the sand, side-by-side. The fire was beginning to burn low, and the rain was still coming down hard. I could hear it hitting the rocks outside the cave. My body was still experiencing the ecstasy of the moment, but my mind was slowly creeping in with logic. What I did was wrong. I should not have done it. But I allowed my body to dictate my actions, and I gave into my desires.
“I should put more wood on the fire,” he said as he got up from the sand. He put on his loincloth. Then he stepped away from me, and right before my eyes, he shifted out of dragon form. It was absolutely spectacular to watch. He was a magical creature; I had to give him that, even if he did irritate me beyond belief.
“You have to promise me something, Amelia,” he said as he grabbed more wood from the corner and put it on the fire.
“Promise? What do you mean promise you something?” I asked.
“You have to promise me that you will tell no one about this. I should not have done that. I should not have mated with you. It was wrong.”
“Well I wasn't planning on telling anyone,” I said as I grabbed the cloths from the sand and began to dress myself. He was already irritating me once more.
“You do not understand. I need you to promise me because there is more in this than just you and me,” he said.
“Do you mean your father? You think that if he finds out we had sex that he will force us to marry? Don't worry; I wasn't going to tell,” I said as I tied the cloth around my breasts. I felt the sheer dress on the rock, and it was dry. I angrily put it on my body, covering myself.
“No. I am not talking about my father. There is someone else that I was thinking of. I am in love with a female Draqua. You met her before. Her name is Talia. I am in love with her more than I could ever imagine. I do not want to lose her. I should not have touched you. I have never been with another since I have been with her. This is a first, and a last. It was a big mistake. We have to bury this. We will never talk about this with anyone,” he said as he stood up strong and tall before me.
His words stung for some reason. He wanted me to keep it a secret because he wanted to protect another female. It was a female that he was in love with. I was simply a mistake. I was the other woman. It made me very angry. I never should have allowed him to have sex with me. What the hell was I thinking?
“Yeah, I get it,” I said, moving away from him and sitting on the log.
“No. I don't think you do get it. Let us pretend that this never happened. You have to keep this a secret. Promise me that this is a secret,” he said.
“I promise. It is a secret. I will not tell anyone,” I said to him in anger. I narrowed my blue eyes at him.
“This is wrong; this is really wrong. If she finds out, she will be very pissed. She will be very hurt. I could not stand to see her in that kind hurt,” he began to mumble to himself. He was no longer talking to me; he was talking out loud about how he had done wrong to the Draqua female that he loved. It really pissed me off. I did not expect his love. I did not expect his attention. But no woman, human or alien, wanted to hear how much the man that was just inside them regretted being inside of them. That they thought it was a huge mistake and that they were in love with someone else.
“Yes, Ravinn! I get it! You were wrong to fuck me. Can you just shut up about it already?” I shouted to him. I could not control my anger anymore. He stopped what he was doing and stared at me. He was not happy. He grabbed his boots and then he marched to the entrance of the cave and walked right out into the rain. I shouted after him.
“Watch out for dragons! I hope they don't take you and torture you!” I shouted at him. I wanted the dragons to take him and torture him. I paced back and forth in the cave. How dare he tell me those things. I was still wet between the thighs when he decided to tell me that he was rejecting the experience we just had.
I made a bed for myself by the fire in the soft sand. I was so angry that all I could do was try to sleep. He was such a jerk. But I already knew that. He did not hide that fact. He was a jerk from the very first moment that he rescued me from the water. He had always been a jerk. Why did my body allow him to do those things to me when I knew that he would not to be sensual and sensitive afterward?
“You really put yourself in deep this time, Amelia,” I said to myself as I pushed the sand together trying to make it into a pillow.
“Will I ever be able to get back to Earth now? Oh, Michelle, I feel so sorry that you were taken. I will get them to find you, and then we can go back to Earth. I am so sick of all of this. And I am so sick of this idiot dragon man, Ravinn,” I said as I turned over to my side, facing the fire. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. But as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw Ravinn naked in front of me with his wings spread out. I quickly opened my eyes.
“Stop thinking about that, Amelia,” I ordered myself, but I knew that even I could not follow my orders. It was going to be a very long night.
CHAPTER SIX
RAVINN KEED
I had to admit that sex with Amelia blew my mind. I had never been with a human female before. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced. Yes, I loved Talia. I enjoyed having sex with her. But it did not compare to what I had experienced with Amelia. Her body was different, and her way of caressing me and touching me was very soft and fragile. Everything I thought I hated about humans and them being too soft was what I loved about Amelia when I was inside of her. My thoughts had backfired on me. Now, I was completely pissed off at myself. I had betrayed Talia. I had spent so much time trying to convince my father to let me marry Talia and be with her, and now after only being with the human female alone for a few hours, I had mated with her.
“It was exactly what you wanted, wasn't it father?” I said as I stomped in the sand away from the cave. I had so much anger to get rid of. I needed a distraction. I needed something to occupy myself so that I didn't continue to think about the fact that I had betrayed Talia.
“Why don't I just go check out what is going on with this opposition business?” I said to myself. Being in a dangerous situation was what I lived for. Now I would go put myself in danger simply so that I could punish myself. I deserve to be punished. I had messed up badly.
I shifted into dragon form. I let my wings fold out from behind me and stretched them ready to fly. I pulled my blaster gun from my boot and checked it. It had a full charge, just in case. I flew straight up into the rain, flying very close to the rock walls for cover. I flew up to the very top of the ridge, where I landed. I lay flat on my belly as I crawled across the ridge to the other side. From this point, I could get a view of the other side of the island. As I moved, I could hear commotion that was low and hard to hear because of the rain, but I definitely heard it. I moved further down the ridge. It was dangerous for me to do this, but it was the only way I was going to get a better view.
Then I saw it. I was shocked. There was a large group of Draqua warriors. They were not shifted, so I could not tell if they were hybrid or dragon from this high up on the mountain ridge.
There were several groups of them underneath a rock ledge taking cover from the rain. But the small fires that they gathered around provided the dim light for me to see. I did not see the human female called Michelle from this vantage point. B
ut if they did have her, she would probably be tied up and not hanging around the fire with them. The opposition hated the human females; they would not be accommodating to her. She would be kept as a prisoner locked up somewhere.
I spent the entire night crawling along the ridge getting different views of this base. I counted ten small spaceships and one hundred Draqua warriors. From the vantage point of being so high up, I could not tell who they were being led by. There had to be an organizer of this base. I gathered as much information as I could, memorizing it so that I could tell the king as soon as I returned.
The time flew by, and I was very glad for the distraction of the work of gathering information on this opposition base. Now I was not thinking about the fact that I had taken Amelia and betrayed Talia. This was exactly what I had needed. Before I knew it, the golden light of the sun rising over the ocean began to illuminate the sky.
“Shit. I need to get back.” Now that I knew how many Draqua warriors were on this island, Amelia and I were in danger. I would need to get her away from here without them seeing us, and I would have to do it quickly. I crawled down the ridge of the rocky mountain on the side of the island where Amelia slept in the cave. When I got halfway down, I felt safe enough to fly the rest of the way. I entered the cave. The fire was dead.
“Amelia, wake up. We need to leave,” I said as I walked in. But as I looked around, I realized that she was nowhere to be found.
“Amelia?” I said.
There was no answer. I walked out onto the beach. “Amelia!” I said louder, but not too loud.
“Over here,” I heard her say. I walked around the bend and found her on the beach. I was not expecting to see her at work. The shell that my father wanted was in her hand. But there were also about 50 of them all over the sand.
“Did you find all of these?” I asked her.
“No. They were just sitting here the way you see them now. They are all over the place. I don't think they are as hard to find as your father had made it out to be. There is an abundance of them. Even when I went into the shallow tide pool, there were so many that I had to be careful not to step on them. We can take as many as you like,” she said with a smile.
She was right. I realized that my father had set us up. This was his plan all along. He just wanted Amelia and me to spend time together. I realized that it had worked. His damn plan to get me alone with the human female and mate with her had worked. But I wasn't going to let him win. I was still going to marry Talia, whether he liked it or not.
“Let's get out of here,” I said as I grabbed a large palm leaf from a tree. I filled it with a few of the shells and tied it in a bundle. I handed it to Amelia.
“I'm ready,” she said.
“Good,” I said as I scooped her up in my arms and flew low, straight over the water. I was using the island to block the view of our flight path. I flew low until we were far enough away and then flew straight into the air. But having Amelia's body this close to me only reminded me of what we did in the middle of the night. Next to the fire, I entered her. I tried not to inhale her scent. But it was hard not to. It was torture having her this close to my body. So it was a relief when I saw the village come into view. I didn't waste any time; I flew straight to my father and landed on the veranda outside his living quarters. I put Amelia on her feet and stepped away from her as fast as I could. I did not want to be near her body any longer.
“Father! Father!” I shouted as I moved into his sitting area.
“Back so soon? I didn't expect you back until this evening,” he said as he came out of the hallway and into the room. He had a smile on his face. He looked at Amelia; she looked away. Then he looked at me and smiled. He could obviously tell that something had happened from the way Amelia was avoiding eye contact.
“Here are the damn shells that you wanted. They were very easy to find, and there were plenty of them,” I said to him.
“There were? They are usually so hard to find,” he said with a bit of a laugh.
“I know what you were up to, father. But your dumb game turned out to be a good thing,” I said to him.
“I am sure that it did,” he said looking over at Amelia.
“That is not what I meant. Though I know that is what you were expecting. What I meant was you sending me to that island uncovered something much more important than you trying to manipulate Amelia and me into getting married. I found a secret opposition base.”
“What? You found what?” my father said, moving toward me. The smile had disappeared from his face, and he grew more serious.
“Yes, I did. So I must go and tell the king right now. I trust that you can see that Amelia gets back to her home,” I said as I walked toward the veranda. As I did so, I grabbed Amelia's arm and pulled her towards me and said in a low whispered, “Remember what I said. Our secret.”
Then I let go of her ran and jumped off the veranda and spread my wings. I flew through the trees and toward the palace.
“King Hydros, I have requested this meeting with you because it is of some urgency,” I said as I walked into my very first private meeting with the king.
“Yes, Ravinn. So my guard has told me. It must be of some urgency. I very rarely meet with warriors that are of no rank,” he said.
“Yes, I understand. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you. I will get right to it. I understand that your time is important and I think my findings need to be addressed immediately,” I said.
“Tell me,” he said as he offered me a drink. I accepted.
“I have spent the night on a small island away from here. The island does not have a name. It is uninhabited. There is a large mountain ridge on it with a small cave. It is about 10 miles offshore behind the jungle and then west. While I was there, I discovered that on one side of the island there is a gathering of Draqua warriors. I could not hear their discussions, but I am positive that it is a base for the opposition. I believe these are the same that were involved in our latest battle that shut down our ships entering Kelon,” I said.
The King turned to me with a startled look on his face. He put his cup down on the table and was silent for a minute entirely.
“Who else have you told this information to?” he asked.
“I have told my father out of necessity. And there was a human female with me, a new human female known as Amelia. I believe you spoke with my father and offered her to me as a wife. We went there looking to get away to get to know each other better at the request of my father. I don't think he knew that I would find such a thing there. But they are the only two that know,” I said.
“Good. Let us keep it that way. My first instinct is to raid the base and capture the Draqua at warriors there. But we lost many Draqua in the last battle only a few days ago. I do not wish to lose anymore. Therefore I am going to send a few scouts there in order to gather data and find out as much as we can so that when we are ready to invade their camp, it will be without any casualties on our side.”
“I understand, King. That is very wise,” I said to him.
“Thank you for this information. Ravinn, I will see to it that you are on a path to achieving a higher rank as a warrior,” he said.
“Thank you, King,” I said to him.
“Now go and tell no one what you have told me. I will take care of it,” he said.
I left the palace glad to have the information off my shoulders. But now that I had handed the information over to the king, my mind was now free to roam. It immediately went to Amelia. I could see her naked body lying underneath me. I had to shake the image from my mind so that I would not crash into a tree. I was on a flight path to my home. But I quickly changed my mind and flew back toward the sandy beaches. I flew over the ocean and then made a dive straight down into the water. I needed to wash Amelia off of me. I needed to cool down after thinking about her naked body with her long red hair trailing down over her breasts.
Then, I made my way home again. I landed on the veranda outside of my hut.
I walked in ready to eat and figure out how to deal with my father pushing Amelia on to me as a wife.
“There you are. I have been waiting for you all night. You did not come home last night,” Talia said as I walked in.
“Talia? What are you doing here?” I asked her in surprise.
“Waiting for you, obviously. Where have you been, Ravinn?” she asked looking at me suspiciously. I felt guilt come over me. I did not want to keep it from her, but I could not tell her because it would break her. I would have to keep it a secret. I searched my mind for an excuse. Perhaps I could tell her that I was at my father's home all night.
