Mountain Man's Proposal

by Lauren Wood

“I mean, how long do I stay your slave? What do I do? I don’t know anything about how this works.” She wanted to add “I don’t want to be a slave I want to be more to you”, but she couldn’t.

  “Hmm, I’ve never had a slave before. So I don’t know, I guess you would be with me your whole life. As far as what you do, I think you’ve learned some of the things I require.” He chuckled and smiled, his meaning written on his face and by his hands flicking her nipple lightly.

  Melody couldn’t help but let the moan escape from her mouth. He seemed to know the right spots to touch her and send her body into overdrive. She turned red, but her body cried out for him.

  He pulled her to him and crushed her lips to his. “I don’t know, I guess we’ll play it all by ear.” He said releasing her.

  She wanted him again, wanted him to converge on her body and plow her into oblivion. But then she looked around and considered their situation once more. However, they had sex once already, though it was quick.

  Melody moved her hand down his leg and cupped his balls in her hands.

  “We should really wait until we get to Zeron. It won’t be much longer, than we can break in our new home.” He promised with his words. His mouth added a more intimate promise.

  “Okay.” Her body yearned to feel him right now. But she put her libido in the closet for the moment and locked the door. She really couldn’t understand how she had fell for him so quickly.

  When he had said our new home, she thought she might swoon and faint. It sounded like he wanted more with her, not just a slave/owner relationship. Maybe he will marry me one day, she thought.

  Chapter 7

  Cassius could feel the ship slowing down; he knew they were getting close to Zeron. When Melody has started to rub him, he had almost gone wild. He had wanted to take her like a wild animal at that moment. However, he knew how close they were to stopping.

  If he wasn’t careful they would miss their window and be stuck on the ship to a more inhabited location. That wouldn’t do good, he would be got and they would both be killed.

  It had taken all of his will to not take her. Cassius knew of a place where they would be able to stay. He had a home here, one that no one had known about.

  The home had been a gift from a friend a while back. “Here, thank you for not killing me. This is the deed to my home on Zeron.” The man had stated.

  “I can’t take your home.” Cassius had told the man.

  “Please, I have another one. Truthfully I don’t think I could ever live on Zeron. There is so little there. So few, that you have to learn to live off the land. I’m not interested in hunting for my meals. I’m more of the type who wants it ready made.” The man had said.

  Cassius had no clue at that point he would ever see this home. However, it was funny how things somehow seemed to work out in his favor. Well, not with the whole death of Demetri. At least he had a place that was safe for him and Melody.

  He looked at her and thought of all the things he was going to do to her in that new home. He also wondered if she would ever be interested in a more stable relationship, like being his wife.

  He had heard of interspecies relationships before. They might even be able to have a family together. Cassius had heard that most women liked to have at least one child. Maybe if he offered that to her, she would agree to be his wife.

  “Come on, you have to go now, you have two minutes.” The man who had set up the passage for them came into the room.

  Cassius grabbed Melody by the hand and got them out of the ship quickly. He found transport at a small hut that was near the landing zone of the ship.

  “We need a few supplies; can you take us to the shop first?” Cassius asked the man.

  “Yeah sure, but it will cost you more currency.” The man said.

  Cassius agreed gladly, he was happy that news of the gladiator fights at the Goma didn’t reach this area of the region. The guy clearly had not recognized him.

  The shop was small and didn’t have much to offer in the way of supplies. Cassius picked up what he could and they went on to the house. He had never seen it so had no idea what to expect.

  “Here you are.” The guy said as he stopped.

  The place looked pleasant enough, as long as the inside was in better repair, they might be in luck. “Thanks a lot.” Cassius handed the man some currency, plus a little extra.

  “Thanks man, anytime.” The guy took off after they had taken the bags out.

  “Well it looks pretty nice from here. I’m shocked I thought it might not look as good.”

  Melody and him went up to the door. He opened it with the key. “It looks like we’ll be busy cleaning for a bit.” Melody said looking around at the dust and grim that had been seated for years.

  “First things first, we’ll get to cleaning later.” Cassius grabbed her. “You were driving me wild in the ship; I think we need to take care of that first.” He laughed. “Now to find a spot that isn’t so dirty. Oh hell with it,” He said after looking around for a few moments.

  Cassius finally shook out a sheet that had been placed over a couch. He pulled her down on top of him. They kissed deeply as his hands went over her body.

  He had learned where to touch her already. Cassius moved down though and looked at her nexus. He licked his lips, he felt like doing something special.

  He heard her moan as his mouth covered her slit and his tongue licked up to settle on her clit.

  “Oh wow, oh my.” Melody was sputtering as he applied his tongue to her sex.

  Cassius laughed and went back to his exploration of her lower body. Soon he was awarded for all his hard work with a rush of her juices. She screamed out as she was sent over the edge and climaxed.

  He greedily licked up as much of her juices as he could. He was hungry to taste more of her, but he wanted to have sex too. His member was throbbing, and he thought he might orgasm before he even got inside of her.

  She was still bucking up into his face as he pulled away from her. He moved up and placed a kiss on her lips. “Melody, I don’t know what all I can offer you. But I’ve been thinking about it. I don’t really want a slave.”

  Melody froze below him, her face looked frightened, “What will I do? Where will I go?”

  “I’m not kicking you out my love. No I would like you to be my wife instead. We can have children if you want; I think our species is compatible.” He offered.

  “Married, you want to marry me?” She asked confused.

  “Yes I would like that very much. I mean we may have to move quickly and if your my wife. Well our cover might be better. If your my slave though, we might be easier to find.” He explained.

  “I thought that you said we should be safe here?” She asked.

  “We should be, but just in case.”

  “Oh is that the only reason, so that we won’t be discovered?” She questioned. He could hear the hurt in her voice.

  Cassius pulled her up to him and thrust into her. “No it’s not my love. I want to be with you too.” He admitted. “I love you.”

  Chapter 8

  “You do?” Melody questioned.

  “Well yeah, I mean when we are together it’s like a volcano igniting and exploding. This has to be more than just sex.” He explained.

  “Yes, I thought the same thing too.” She admitted.

  “So what do you say?” He asked.

  “Oh yes, I’ll marry you, and I love you too Cassius. I feel safe around you, like no one could ever harm me.” Melody scraped her nails on his back and he thrust into her again.

  She was lost in thought as he brought her body to another climax.

  Once they were done it was time to clean though. They both began to fix the place up. It was possible that they could be stuck here the rest of their lives, or at least for a few years.

  Along the trip Cassius had explained to Melody more in depth about how their justice system worked. It had made her shiver with fear to think of how many innocent people they
may have killed in the past.

  Soon enough the house was coming together.

  “Overall it’s in rather good shape.” Cassius announced after he came in from inspecting the outside of the house closer.

  “Well that’s good.” Melody smiled at him. “Were you kidding when you asked me to marry you earlier?” She asked.

  “Of course not, why would I do that.” He answered.

  “I don’t know. Well on Earth men talk and say things they don’t mean. You know they promise women things so they get sex.” She explained.

  “Wow, your species seems a bit dishonest. Is that what your ex-boyfriend did to you? Didn’t you tell me his name was Jay? Another thing are you dishonest?” He asked, his face showing some worry.

  “No I’m what you would call one of the good ones. I’m so honest sometimes people take me as being rude. Yes Jay did the whole dishonest thing to me. But I would rather not talk about him anymore.” She laughed.

  “I’d rather have you honest.” He admitted.

  There was a knock on the door, they looked at each other. No one knew they were here, except for the guy who drove them here. However, why would he be back out here?

  Cassius approached a window slowly and looked out front. He turned towards her, “I don’t know who it is. He doesn’t have a uniform on though.”

  She shook her head, ready to help defend him if it came to it. “Be ready to run if I tell you.” Cassius told her.

  “No way, I’m standing by you.” She stated.

  He smiled at her. “Alright, but I really don’t know if this is bad news, or nothing big.”

  “Go ahead.” She stood by his side and he answered the door.

  “Yes can I help you?” Cassius asked the blue man standing at the door.

  “Wow, Brakley wasn’t lying; there are really new people on the planet!” The man smiled and pushed his hand towards Cassius. “I’m Jureal; I’ve lived on Zeron for around ten years now. You are the first new people I’ve seen come here. I was just wondering if you needed anything.”

  “Oh it’s nice to meet you Jureal. I’m Cassius and this is Melody.”

  Jureal looked from one to the other. “Hmm, interspecies couple are you? Interesting, I would never have imagined that on Zeron!” He laughed.

  “Yeah we wanted to be away from the bustle of it all. You know live a very quiet life.” Cassius said.

  “Oh you’ll have that here on Zeron. Overall, there may be around 100 of us here. All of us are spread out quite a bit. So you should be able to enjoy your peace and quiet here. Perhaps I’ll contact the others and we can have a little party to greet you one day.” Jureal said.

  “Sure that sounds nice. But can you give us a bit to fix up the place, and we can have it here?” Melody said, shaking Jureal’s hand.

  “That’s not a problem. Most people who live on Zeron don’t like to travel much anyway.” He laughed heartily.

  Cassius and Melody looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

  “Well I just wanted to stop by and welcome you to the planet. When you get the phone installed here’s my number. Just let me know if you need anything. I’m one of your closest neighbors.” Jureal explained.

  “Oh how far away are you?” Melody asked.

  “About four hours or so, with the speed travel options. But if you want to go the slower way it would take me a few days. So not very close at all! I just happened to be in the area to visit the shop.” Jureal explained.

  “Well thanks for stopping by. We’ll let you know when we get our phone in and are ready for a party!” Cassius said.

  “Yeah it’s always nice to see someone new comer to Zeron. Hey did anyone ever tell you, you look like that gladiator dude a bit. Well you’re not near as big as he looks on the channel though.” Jureal laughed as he left.

  Melody looked at Cassius, “Do you think he knows?” Her nerves felt frayed at the thought of Jureal knowing Cassius real identity.

  “I don’t know. We’ll be careful and watch to see if we get a lot of visitors or not. I’ll set up an alarm system outside. That way if they do come for us we can hopefully get out quickly.” Cassius said.

  Epilogue

  Melody looked over at Cassius; they had been on Zevon for six months now. She had grown to love Zevon quite a lot.

  They had a party about a month ago and met several of the other people who lived on this lonely planet. Jureal had turned out to be not only a real friend, but also a good source of information.

  It had been just two weeks ago when Jureal had come to visit them again.

  “Hey, Cassius and Melody how are you both doing?” Jureal asked him as he came into their home.

  “Hey Jureal, we’re good. How are you doing?” Cassius had asked.

  “Not bad. I heard some interesting information from the Goma the other day.” Jureal had said.

  “Oh what is that?” Cassius had asked quietly.

  Melody had felt the nerves begin to throb in her body. On more than one occasion Jureal had hinted about how much Cassius looked like a great warrior he had once seen at the Goma.

  “Well it seems that Demetri, he was the guy who sold the tickets and promoted the fights. He was killed, there was a lot of talk about how the warrior, Cassius, funny he has the same name as you. But the warrior had supposedly killed him. However, you know that never made much sense to me. Why would a guy who had just won his freedom do something like that? Surely, it would be someone else.” Jureal had paused.

  “Right it wouldn’t make sense that a guy who was finally free would kill the man who basically gave him that freedom.” Melody had said.

  Cassius had cut her off with a look though.

  “Yeah I agree.” Jureal had said. “So anyway, I thought perhaps it was a relative of the Lars fellow. Do you know anything about the Goma?” He had stopped and asked them both.

  “No, besides the legend talk I’ve heard from some people in the past.” Cassius had stated cautiously.

  “I have no idea, I’m from Earth.” Melody had looked at him and played dumb.

  “Okay, we’ll you have heard of gladiators before right Melody.” Jureal had looked at her.

  “Yes, the Romans on Earth used to have fights to the death.” Melody had shook her head.

  “Well the Goma is the same thing, but in our Galaxy. The men who battle are often slaves, they’ve either been sold as slaves, or their families were slaves. The deal is that if any warrior can win 200 fights they will be set free. It isn’t a task that is easy to do. There have only been two in all of the history of the Goma. Mazart back around 100 years ago was the first fighter to complete all the fights. Recently, Cassius completed this same number of fights. This is where it gets interesting though. The night of the fights someone killed Demetri, and the signs all pointed to Cassius. I on the other hand had other theories about the guilty party. I thought that it would either be one of Lars’s relatives, he’s the man that Cassius obliterated in about 10 minutes time. Or perhaps an angry fan who felt they were cheated on a bet. I just happen to have the right connections and let it be known of my theories. It seems that the authorities hadn’t looked at the cameras in the building yet. When they pulled up the footage from that night, you know who could be seen clearly walking out of the building?” Jureal had stopped and studied them both closely.

  Melody squirmed under his study, but sat tight lipped. Cassius had not said a word either.

  “Well it was Cassius and his prize for the fight. About two minutes after walking into Demetri’s office was a hooded man. The kicker was when they pulled the office film though. The man who had come in was Lars’s younger brother, Marteen. Clearly on the film you can see Marteen as he slayed Demetri.”

  “Oh really, that’s great news!” Melody had said.

  Cassius had looked at Jureal, “So how long have you known I was the warrior?”

  Jureal had laughed, “Since the first time I met you son. But I’m telling you I have a sense about
anyone I meet. I can tell if they are a good person or a bad one. You my friend are indeed a good man. That was why I pulled my strings and made sure that the truth was discovered. You my man are truly a free man. If you want you can go back home.”

  Cassius and Melody had been stunned further to find out that Jureal had once been an inspector for the authorities. If he had thought Cassius was really guilty, he would have called them in the day he first met them. But he had gone with his gut instinct and now Cassius could do anything he wanted.

  They had decided they loved Zevon and would stay there most of the year. But had planned to visit his home planet once the baby was born, he wanted his parents to meet their new grandchild.

  “What are you thinking about Melody?” Cassius interrupted her thoughts.

  “Oh just thinking about how scared I was when I was first kidnapped. I never imagined that I would find love out in space.” She answered as she rubbed her belly.

  “You know I was so upset when I first found out you were the prize. Boy was I a stupid man at that point.” Cassius laughed.

  “But you’re not anymore!”

  He grabbed her and kissed her deeply, “No my love I’m not, and I have the most amazing wife a man could ever ask for. I love you Melody.”

  “I love you too Cassius.”

  THE END

  DESIRED BY ALIEN LORD

  Chapter 1

  Kelly awoke with a start in the night unable to move her limbs. This wasn’t a sensation that she was unused to, as she had had bouts of sleep paralysis since she was a child. Many of the nights that she lied in her bed trapped under her sheets, she saw large, masculine figures crowded around her, looking down at her, helpless under invisible weights. As always, she stopped and told herself not to panic. Yes, the feeling of being at the mercy of someone or something else was a horrifying one, but this was something that she was used to. She woke up frozen in the night because there was something wrong with the way her brain worked, not because she was in a trance or about to be abducted. This was a night just like any other over the course of her life, and nothing that she should be worried about. Until it was.
