I should've been angry at this, but I wasn't. I gave him a look and cocked my head to the side. Tears began to form in my eyes, but not because I was hurt by his coldness; it was because it would be the last time I would ever see him. And even though I was excited to get out from under his wing, the reality of what I was doing hit me right at that moment. But I could not let him see me tearing up or he would stop me from going on this mission. I moved quickly behind him and threw my arms around his shoulders and gave him a squeeze from behind so that he could not see my face.
"Goodbye, father. I love you,” I said quickly and then moved away from him and down the hall. I could hear Kuvo Bane move from his station outside my father’s office and follow me. I didn't want him to see my tears either; he would think they were a sign of weakness. I quickly dodged into the ladies room and cleaned myself up. I looked at myself in the mirror and forced confidence on my face.
"Well, Andrene, this is it. This is the last Earth mirror you will look into for years, possibly forever. Take a good look,” I said as I stared at my reflection. Then I straightened my ponytail, pulling it tight on my head, and walked out. Of course Kuvo Bane was outside waiting for me.
"Is everything all right?" he asked and his question shocked me. How did he know that anything was amiss in the first place?
"Yes, fine. Why would you ask such a thing? Let us go to flight control, get this mission going,” I said, avoiding eye contact with him and walking down the hall.
Ten minutes later, Kuvo Bane and I were standing on the ramp outside of a black ship. The ship was a perfect triangle. It was also very, very small designed to go very fast. It was called the Cosmo.
"After you,” Kuvo Bane said, pointing at the ramp. I walked with my bag strapped across my body up the ramp into the ship. I looked around with a smile. It was small, but it was very advanced. We were walking inside the back part of the ship. To the left and to the right were sleeping quarters that had nothing more than a bed in them. Further down the hall was a small kitchen with machine to rehydrate food. There was a bicycle exercise machine, that was more like a unicycle as it was just the bottom half of the bike with one wheel—very important while in space to exercise. Then beyond that was a washroom that was very small as well, almost the same size as what you would find on a commercial airplane. Then toward the front of the ship was the flight deck with four chairs.
"Good morning, Ambassador Representative Novan. I am your pilot, pilot, Winfrey,” a young man said.
"It is very nice to meet you. I am in your hands,” I said to him with a smile. He smiled back politely and I could tell that he had a pleasant demeanor, which was a welcomed addition to this team as I already knew that Mr. Weredragon was very moody.
"This here is my copilot, Simon; he is also a trained medic,” he said as another young man boarded the ship with blond hair and blue eyes and a dashing smile.
"It is nice to meet you both,” I said to them.
"If you will put your bag in your bed capsule, and then join us on the flight deck so that we can strap you in, we should be clear to fly out in just minutes,” Pilot Winfrey said.
"I will do that, thank you,” I said as I moved toward the back of the ship to the sleeping capsules. I picked one and pressed the button for it to open. I threw my bag into a cupboard, making sure it was secured to not fly around the capsule. I walked out of the capsule and Kuvo Bane stood at the door of the capsule next to mine and opened it, inspecting it.
"That's the capsule you choose?” I asked him.
"Yes, it is important that I am as close to you as possible. I am your guard,” he said with a smile. I rolled my eyes at him and closed the door to my capsule and then moved to the flight deck. The pilots showed me how to strap in and then made me do it myself a couple of times. Then Kuvo Bane came onto the flight deck and strapped in. The pilots strapped in and began preparations for takeoff.
"This is the Cosmo, ready for launch. Waiting for clearance from flight control,” Pilot Winfrey said. My stomach turned. It was really happening. I was really going to do it. I was going to go on a mission in space, but it wasn't the mission my father sent me on. Of course he did not know that; no one knew it.
Within minutes, the engine roared to life and the ship darted into the atmosphere with such speed that the view out the windshield was just a blur. Then, complete darkness. I took a deep breath, inhaling sharply at the view before me. It was complete blackness and nothingness. It was space. I was in awe of the vastness of dark; someone really could get lost out here and never be found.
"It is beautiful,” I said to myself.
"We have left the atmosphere. Cosmo has successfully entered space, coordinates for Mooreah commencing,” Pilot Winfrey said to flight control.
"Copy that, Cosmo, you are cleared to set coordinates and be on your way. Good luck to you all," flight control said.
"Is it what you expected?” Kuvo Bane said as he turned to me. I was startled by his question. He was making small talk. What did he care? My father was paying him very well to guard me, not to be my friend.
"No, it is not. Of course, I've always known what it looks like, but seeing it with your own eyes and being here is very different.”
"Yes, it is. I will never forget the first time I saw it for myself when I was a youngling. Wait till you see Mooreah; it will take your breath away as well,” he said to me.
"If it is so stunning, why did you leave it?" I asked him without realizing the question had left my mouth. He looked at me with almost anger in his eyes.
"It is a long, complicated story, and none of your business,” he said as he unbuckled his belt and walked away from the flight deck. I looked at the pilot; he nodded to me as though to say it was fine to unbuckle from our seats now. I did so, but not to follow Kuvo Bane. I couldn’t have cared less about his inner conflicts, but I wanted to get as much of a view as I could of the space around us.
I walked down the hall to all of the small porthole windows on every side of the ship. I could see Earth and the moon as we moved away from it. The blue and green of the miracle planet took my breath away. It really was a stunning ball of beauty, and we were lucky to have it as a home. I hoped that I would one day return to it, on my own terms.
Over the next two days of flight, I spent most of my time writing and planning in my journal. There was much to take care of. I saw very little of Kuvo Bane, only because I planned it that way. If he walked into the kitchen, I walked out. I spent a lot of time in my small capsule because I needed the privacy. Then in the middle of sleeping time, I could not sleep. It was less than twenty-four hours before my plan would be put into action, and the anxiety of it was giving me restless sleep. I decided to go into the kitchen to eat something and perhaps it would put me to sleep. But I was not expecting the view that I received when I walked into the kitchen. There, doing push-ups on the floor without a shirt, was Kuvo Bane. He was breathing hard as he moved his body up and down. He was sweating. His glistening skin on his hard muscles made me gulp.
"Don't let me stop your late-night snacking,” he said without even looking at me to acknowledge my presence.
"I can come back,” I said, turning away from the kitchen knowing that I could no longer look at him or I would do something that I would regret. He jumped to his feet and came over to me. He stood directly in front of me, his towering physique strong and sweaty and half naked. He definitely was a stunning creature. Seeing him this way, I almost forgot that he was alien and a weredragon. I could not take my eyes off his six-pack abs because they were directly in front of me at my height.
"The kitchen is all yours. I was just about to hit the shower, unless you want to join me,” he said with a wink as he moved past me. I moved into the kitchen while rolling my eyes, but I could not stop thinking about him. I sat down to a rehydrated blueberry muffin. It wasn't bad for rehydrated food, but it wasn't satisfying. I knew then that it wasn't a meal that I was craving; my body was craving contact, it was craving sex
. I knew at that moment that I saw Kuvo on the floor doing those push-ups. My entire body responded to him. My nipples grew very hard and I could feel my panties getting wet as I watched him.
Now, sitting here shoving blueberry muffin into my mouth, I was imagining what he looked like in the shower at this very moment. His completely naked body and large, hard cock would be dripping wet. I bit my lower lip as I thought about it. Would it be so wrong to allow myself to indulge in his body? He was obviously game for it; all Drackon were game to mate with females at all times. They were a very sexually driven alien race. I knew he was teasing me when he invited me to join him in the shower, but I also knew that it was a real invite. In a few hours, I would never see him again, so what would be the harm in allowing myself to enjoy something that he would willingly offer? I sat there talking myself into it, and before I knew it, I was so turned on that there was no way I could stop myself. I smiled. I was going to get laid. Yes.
Not just by anyone, as there were two human male pilots that I was sure were also starved for romance as well, and if I seduced either one of them, they would be willing. But that's not what I wanted. I wanted to experience Drackonian sex. Of all the human females on Earth that romanticized them and registered to be brides to Drackon, they did it simply because the sex was that mind blowing; they couldn't be wrong, could they? I would know myself now.
I grabbed a few of the packs of blueberry muffin, dried fruit and nuts, and soy protein and took them to my sleep capsule. I pushed them into my bag and I left my door open on purpose. I stood by my bed and could hear the door of the washroom open. I peeled off the top portion of my space suit and stood there half naked. I pushed my thumbs into the waistline of the suit pants and began to push them down over my hips when I heard a gasp. I turned to see Kuvo in the doorway with a towel around his waist. He was dripping wet. His black locks of hair looked even more shaggy as they stuck against his head. His blue eyes were wide as they looked at me.
"I was just about to take you up on your offer to join you in the shower,” I said with my most flirtatious smile. Kuvo looked at me up-and-down as I slid the suit pants down to my ankles and kicked them off.
"Are you coming in?" I said as I took a few steps backwards. He gave me a smirk and then stepped inside and shut the door of the capsule. I moved to him and put the palms of my hands flat against his hard chest and he took in a sharp breath of air. I let my hands move further down, over the towel. He had beads of water on his skin as he stood there in the damp towel. My hand moved lower and I could feel the bulge underneath the material. I put my hand directly on top of it, his hard cock.
"Fuck…" He breathed the word out in a husky voice. I moved my hand over the bulge up and down before clasping my fingers around it. I was shocked at the size of it, and it wasn't even completely hard yet. It was very thick and long and I allowed my hand to tighten and then move up and down, jerking him off under the towel. He put his hand on the wall, as though to help him keep his balance. I could not keep my lips away from his hard six-pack abs that were directly in front of me. I pressed my lips against his abdomen, slowly trailing kisses as my hand still worked. I was so turned on that I didn't know how much longer I could do foreplay before begging him to push his fat cock inside of me.
"Shit, you feel so damn good," he said breathlessly. I grabbed the towel and yanked it off him. I stepped back and looked at his gorgeous body. His cock was long and thick. It was smooth and perfect. Very strong thighs that were muscular and bulging surrounded it. He groaned as I looked at him. He stepped to me and then put his hands on my waist and picked me up to his height. I put my arms around his neck and he planted his full lips on mine. I picked up my leg and he cupped my ass. I jumped and wrapped my legs around him. He kissed me hard and I allowed his tongue to explore my mouth. I was so turned on and very happy with my decision. He laid me down on the bed and his mouth moved from mine down my chin. Then he moved lower and lower. I arched my back up and his lips pressed over my nipple.
“Oh yes, that feels good,” I sighed.
He moaned and his lips pressed harder on my nipple and then his tongue licked it. He licked up and down, sucking and kissing my breasts. It felt so good. I had not been touched like this in so long and there was something very hot about doing this with an alien weredragon. It felt very erotic and different.
I pushed my fingers into his black hair as his lips went lower and lower over my stomach. Kuvo kissed and licked every inch of my skin. I wanted him inside of me but I also wanted to feel every single moment of his foreplay. I did not want to rush it. I wanted to savor it. I let my hands move from his hair over his shoulders. Damn, he was strong. His muscles rippled underneath my fingertips and his shoulders were so hard, like cement. It was impressive.
“I want to taste you, Andrene. I’ve wanted to taste you since I first saw you,” he whispered. I bit my lower lip as I looked down at him. He was going lower and lower. He looked up at me through his black locks with bright blue eyes. My breathing was hard with anticipation. He kissed the top of my mound and then moved further down. His tongue licked my wet center.
“Oh, yes! Please don’t stop doing that,” the words escaped my mouth. He groaned as he moved, skillfully licking. I opened my thighs wider, letting his massive body rest comfortably between them. He was so massive he dwarfed me with his size, and I liked it. It made me feel desirable and petite. His licking grew faster and faster as he pressed his tongue against my clitoris. I felt my body shudder and then release into orgasm. “Oh! Kuvo! I’m coming! I’m coming!” I said over and over again as pulsated with little vibrations.
“Mmm… yes. I want you to come for me Andrene,” he moaned. Then he moved further down, kissing the inside of my thighs. His tongue flicked out, licking my legs. He was moving further down, over my knees and to my calves. He was going to lick my entire body. I didn’t know if I could stand it anymore. I was so hot and aroused that I wanted his cock in me right then and there. It was torture. I looked down at him and he smiled at me as he licked and kissed my ankles. He was doing this on purpose. He was teasing me to make me wait for it. He wanted me to beg, and I was about to. But then the entire ship felt like it had been jolted violently. Kuvo quickly was on his feet.
"What is it? Did something just explode?” I asked as I sat up in bed.
"No, the ship has been locked into a beam. Someone is trying to board us. Do not leave this capsule until I come to get you,” he said as he moved out of the door and closed it behind him. I sat there and wiped the look of panic off my face. This wasn't supposed to be happening, not now, I thought as I looked at the clock. They were early.
Chapter 4
KUVO BANE
When I saw Andrene standing there completely topless with her fingers shoved into the waistline of her pants, something took over me. I wasn't even myself; it was like I was hypnotized. Her breasts were perfect. Her nipples were rosy and hard, begging for me to suck on them. I was in complete shock by her turn of behavior. It was suspicious that she would suddenly be so inviting to me, but in that moment, I wasn't exactly thinking with my head, at least not the head on top of my shoulders. As I watched her seductively peel off her pants, I was lost in lust. I didn't want anything else and couldn't think of anything else other than being inside of her, and I needed to do it or lose my mind.
So when we were rudely interrupted, I was filled with anger. Who the fuck would be trying to board a peaceful Earth ship on a mission of negotiations? We weren't in an army ship, even though we were armed, so there would be no reason for it to be a target. There would be no reason for anyone other than the king to know that we were coming. But most of all, I was filled with anger because they interrupted me before I could sample of the sweet warm and wetness of Andrene, before I could push myself inside of her. It pissed me off.
Now in my capsule, I quickly dressed and grabbed my blaster gun and pushed various weapons into holsters on my thighs and boots. Then, I moved into the hallway.
"What the hell?” Pilot Winfrey said, looking at me.
"Go to the flight deck and mayday our position to both Earth and to Mooreah, if you can reach it. Go do it now. We might have just seconds before they board us and take us prisoner,” I said to the pilot. His eyes were wide and he quickly ran to the flight deck. Copilot Simon looked at me with fear in his eyes as he grabbed a blaster off of the wall.
"Who is boarding us?” he asked.
"I don't know. My guess would be pirates, but that is just a guess. Get into position facing the gateway,” I said as I moved to the side of the ship and looked out the porthole. I could see a very large gray ship that was docked onto ours.
"I don't recognize the ship. It is not a Drackonian ship. It is not an Earth ship,” I said out loud.
"Then what the hell?” Simon said. I stood beside him with my blaster aimed toward the gateway as it opened. On the other side stood twenty human males, with four Drackon warriors. It shocked me to see them together, working together. And I knew exactly what this was. They were criminals for hire. This was the only time that you saw human and Drackon working together like this in such a brash way. They had been paid to do something, but I did not know what that something was. It could be as simple as to scour space and commandeer ships like pirates and sell them and whatever cargo they contained, including selling the people into slavery.
