Carly keen and sobbed her pleasure at being enthusiastically and thoroughly fucked by the man she loved. Although he came first, he made sure she reached her climax as well. He needed to feel her inner walls clamping down on his cock and milking him as he finished.
He stayed inside her as long as he could, massaging her breasts and kissing the back of her neck while her orgasm played out. Joven purred his satisfaction while Carly hummed and moaned softly.
A few minutes later, he pulled out of her and helped her off the bed to hold her in his arms again, kissing her tenderly. She opened for him, and their tongues did a slow dance, twirling around each other.
“I love you, meomee,” Joven said softly after the kiss ended.
Carly hugged him and whispered, “And I love you, meomee.
Their mating frenzy had waned in the following days, although they continued to mate once or twice a day. They still wanted each other frequently, but Joven and Carly were no longer experiencing a nearly constant state of arousal as they had when they first came together. For the next fifteen rotations that it took them to get to Glasica, they started joining the crew in the dining cabin for meals.
Thanks to the language chip she received before she left Earth, Carly was now fluent in the Alliance common language they all used. She could even read what once had looked like hieroglyphics to her.
Soul mated felines were not generally possessive of their mates, but cyborgs were. Logically, he was glad his team liked his wife, but he could also see the appreciative looks they gave her. Sometimes, he would growl softly when he felt they were a little too attentive. His crew understood and took no offense.
Even though they found her charming and attractive, they fully respected that she was Joven’s mate. If they didn’t, his men knew the violence Joven was capable of from their warrior days. While they hadn’t seen the viciousness of how he had killed Zaif Crazell, they could imagine.
Chapter Thirteen
Joven and his teams all lived on the Tresta continent in a hamlet an hour out of the largest city of Jaiba. It was just south of the Selkeres Mountain Reserve where a native sub-sentient species of dragons lived. Joven and his team had started the hamlet because there was no spaceport big enough to land the Sentinel Hawk on either continent.
Because Tresta was warmer and dryer, Joven was able to purchase a great deal of land on an isolated plateau. The Sentinel Hawk was quite a bit larger than the shuttles their two spaceports were designed to handle. It was longer than a passenger jet and about three times as wide. Most of that space was filled with weapons and the warp engine. Sentinel Hawk was fast and deadly, much like its Captain.
With the imminent arrival of the second team for the space patrol, their hamlet now contained nine dwellings. Joven’s was at the west end of the development just past the landing pad for the Hawk. Fortunately, the ship could land vertically, so the landing pad was just a bit wider and longer than an American football field.
The houses were built of an aerated concrete material that was as sturdy as concrete but much lighter to handle. Each one had similar components but varied in layout and color.
Joven had been hopeful when he built his house that he would have a family to fill it. The dwelling consisted of multiple attached domes. There were four bedrooms with full bathrooms, a formal dining room, a fully automated kitchen, an office, and a small classroom.
Like every home in the little community, it was entirely off the grid. Joven’s farm was watered from one of a series of artesian wells and completely automated. There were no lawns, but groupings of indigenous plants and rocks decorated the yards. Parked on a landing pad to the left of the front entrance was a four-passenger flyer.
The outdoor temperature was comfortably warm as Joven and Carly rode up to the house in a golf cart type vehicle powered by a solar battery. They were dressed in identical black jumpsuits that were indeed one size fits most as they both belonged to Joven. There was no projected time of arrival for the Star Traveler, which carried all of her clothes and possessions.
She had recycled the outfit she was wearing when Joven rescued her. It was torn, and stained with dirt from helping the fallen woman back on Se’Nar. It seemed so long ago as she remembered Crazell hitting her with his discipline strap. That hurt enough, but not nearly as much as that pain stick. Even the memory of that torment seemed distant.
It was probably just as well. Carly attributed her muted memories to the mating frenzy that had been just as intense as Joven had warned her. Even though the overpowering need to copulate had eased, she was still deeply attracted to him. He’d give her a smoldering look, and she would be wet for him. He always knew, too.
Despite the fact there was no grass in the yard or nearby meadows, there were many shrubs and green leafy plants. In the distance, she could see a forest. The ultramodern multi-domed structure was elegantly white in contrast to the surrounding greenery and lavender-blue sky.
“Joven, the pictures you sent didn’t do this place justice. It’s beautiful!” Carly exclaimed as she stopped to look around. As she looked up into the sky, a large animal was flying over. At first, she thought it was a bird, but it had four legs and bat-like wings. “What is that?” She pointed.
He looked up. “It’s a Selkeres dragon. See those mountains in the distance?”
“Yes.”
“Those are the Selkeres Mountains. Almost the whole mountain range lies within one of several world preserves. They are native to Glasica. Our land borders the Preserve. The dragons are a protected species. It’s illegal to capture or kill them.”
“That’s good, but I wish I could get a closer look at them,” she said.
“That could be arranged. I can take you to the Selkeres Observatory after we’ve had a few rotations to settle in,” he said. “Meanwhile, we can call up a hologram on the AI.”
“That would be great.”
They got out of the vehicle and met in front of it. Joven put his arm around her shoulders, and they walked the path to the front door. It opened automatically for them to enter. Stepping into the foyer, Carly could see it led to an ultra-modern formal dining room. To the left of the dining room was the kitchen, and a sitting area lay on the right of the dining room. Inside, it looked like one big room, while outside it was a series of three domes attached.
There was an opening into a hallway between the dining area and what Carly would call the living room. Joven guided her in that direction. The hall led to a smaller dome with a skylight with two more openings.
“These lead to the bedrooms.” He pointed to the three on the right. “The first one is ours, and the other three are down the hall on the right.”
Each room was furnished in a minimalistic ultramodern style with some interesting sculptures and wall hangings. A huge bed dominated the large bedroom with an en suite to left and a walk-in closet to the right of the bed. There was a large skylight letting sunlight in over the bed. The entire house was pristine.
“Do you like it?” Joven asked.
“It’s beautiful… Looks brand new…”
“Close,” he said, walking to the opening of the closet. “All of these houses were fabricated a couple hundred rotations ago, just before we arrived to set up star system security.” When the door slid open, he handed his duffle to the mechanical claw that reached out for it.
Carly stood at the foot of the bed, watching him. The snug fitting jumpsuit he wore displayed his muscular form revealing only a little less of his gorgeous male body than if he were naked. When her gaze reached his eyes, they had a familiar predatory look that made her nipples tighten and a growing yearning between her thighs.
Carly met his gaze with a receptive smile as he strode across the room and stood before her. He put his finger on the closure of her jumpsuit and drew it down between her breasts to her pubic bone. It popped open, and Joven pushed it apart to bare her breasts.
She looked up at him and grinned, “I guess this means we’re going to try out the
bed.” She pressed her finger to the nearly invisible closure on his suit and opened it the same way.
Joven gave her a sexy grin and gently pinched her nipples between his thumbs and forefingers. A delicious sensation rippled through her body and straight to her core. She stepped closer and looked up into his eyes that reflected the hunger she’d felt at his touch.
He lowered his mouth to hers and kneaded her breasts while slipping his tongue into her mouth. He kissed her long and slow, getting rid of their jumpsuits while hardly taking his lips from hers. When they were naked, he lifted her up, so her core was pressed to the length of his cock, and her breasts squeezed against his chest.
Carly wound her arms around his neck and softly hummed her approval while they continued to kiss. The room was comfortably warm, so Joven didn’t bother to turn the bedcover down before he laid Carly on top of it. Although she was wet and ready for him to take her, he had a different plan.
Joven seemed bent on licking, nibbling, and kissing her whole body. He sucked each of her nipples until she was on the verge of orgasm even though he hadn’t touched her pussy. Then he stopped.
Carly moaned and panted. She suspected he planned to drive her senseless with need before he brought her to climax. It was sweet torture that she had come to enjoy because she trusted him to satisfy her fully as only, he could.
She reached down and caressed his head as he worked his way down toward her pussy. Joven moved slowly, dragging his lips and tongue over her sensitized flesh. Carly whispered his name and crooned her pleasure, running her fingers through his short hair and stroking his shoulders and back….
During their intensely sexual bonding, she had learned to savor the journey because Joven never failed to satisfy her need at the end. They had become deeply attuned to each other’s needs. Carly cried out as his mouth settled over her clit at last.
She bucked her hips and clawed at the bed as his tongue flicked over her clit. He sucked it gently for a few moments, then spread her legs wider to lap between her inner lips. When he thrust his tongue into her opening and used it to fuck her for a time, Carly vocalized inarticulately. He alternated between her opening and her clit, pausing his stimulation intermittently.
Carly stood his teasing as long as she could because it pleased him. She had to admit it delighted her, too. When he finally brought her to climax, it was utterly mind-blowing. Joven’s control was incredible. It seemed like he titillated her for hours before his restraint reached the limit. Only then did he bring her to orgasm before he covered her body with his to impale her with his cock.
He pumped in and out of her, gradually increasing speed and thrust until he was pounding into her as only a cyborg could. His love surged through her with the pleasure of his cock, stroking her g-spot and the hilt pressing and rubbing her clit.
Carly met his thrusts enthusiastically, hugging him with her inner walls, wanting to give him as much pleasure as he was giving her.
She started to come before he did, despite her efforts to hold back, but she held back just long enough for him to find his release. Then she came hard as soon as she felt the first surge of his hot semen inside her.
Joven roared with that first wave, and Carly cried out in elation for the exquisite pleasure they shared together.
He was her husband, soulmate, and lover. He was meomee, and she gave him everything when they mated. He was hers, and she was his.
Joven stayed inside her as long as he could before he pulled out of her. She smiled sleepily as he pulled her close, cuddling her against him. Their long mating had exhausted her, but she said, “that was awesome, Joven. You are an awesome lover.”
“And you are to me, as well, meomee. No one else can satisfy me as you, do.” He kissed her forehead, and she sighed contentedly as she was drifting to sleep.
He held her in his arms until she was completely asleep. Then he got up from their newly christened bed and covered her with a sheet.
It had been too many rotations since he had shifted and run the forest trails. He required that freedom almost as much as he needed release with his mate.
Joven’s jumpsuits were made to shift with him, but he didn’t bother to dress when he left Carly sleeping in their bed. He just shifted into his big, sleek black cat form, and trotted from the bedroom and out his front door. He would be back in the morning before she awoke. The dwelling’s AI would alert him.
Chapter Fourteen
Joven was exhilarated as he bounded down the path along the planted field that led to the forest. The last time he ran the trail, he was enraged that the pirate Zaif Crazell had intercepted the ship that was bringing his soulmate to Glasica. But now, she was home in their bed sleeping after they had mated at length.
Nothing ever brought him the kind of joy, he felt the first time, and every time he claimed her with his cock. He loved her enthusiasm in their joining, and he loved her. He was glad that Rader Knight had recommended him for Glasica System Space Patrol. In the scores of rotations since he and his team settled on the planet, he believed he had finally found a place to call home.
When he first came to Glasica, loping through his forest was his favorite thing to do. At first, the native wildlife scurried away in fear when he passed through in his big-cat form. Now they ignored him, even though he was the largest predator in the area, other than the Selkeres dragons.
The dragons were actually omnivores. They preyed on small animals and insects, but they also ate greens and wild fruits. Since his property backed up against the reserve, Joven had frequently seen dragons flying overhead. Occasionally, he would see them foraging in his crop fields. Although they did some damage and fed on some of his vegetables, they usually hunted varmints more often than they fed on vegetables.
He had been warned that could happen, so he planted a few extra rows to compensate. They were protected so they couldn’t be killed or hunted. He could use a sound system to scare them off, but they were animals, and they were there first.
Joven had rarely seen such magnificent creatures on all the worlds where he’d fought. While they weren’t quite sentient, they were intelligent, bore live young and lived in herds or flocks depending on who was classifying them.
It was just a little past daylight when Joven bounded up to his front door and padded inside when the door opened for him. He decided this was as good a time as any to introduce Carly to his alter ego. Although he’d shown her via vid com, that was different than up close.
She was still in their bed asleep, facing the side toward the open doorway. Her scent filled his nostrils mingled with his own. He moved closer and started to purr softly. He nuzzled her with his nose, willing her to open her eyes and look at him.
Next, he licked her bare arm and then her face. Carly groaned and opened her eyes. She shrieked and scrambled backward toward the center of the bed.
Joven made a low rumble in his throat and stared at her solemnly. Carly stared back, clutching the sheet to her bare chest.
“Joven,” she murmured and moved closer to the side of the bed. Carly stretched her arm and stroked the side of his face. “I’m sorry, you just startled me. Is everything all right?”
He made a hissing noise that almost sounded like ‘yes.’
Carly guessed that talking in his cat form was difficult. She was still stroking his face and head. “You certainly make a big handsome cat. …And your fur is so soft.”
Joven started purring again, a loud, rumbling purr of a big cat. By then, she was no longer afraid of him. She was just not expecting to wake up to a huge black cat staring at her. Minutes later, Joven morphed back into his humanoid form.
Carly watched his transformation in awe. Staring for a moment she smiled up at him. He was every bit as gorgeous as a feline man. When her eyes lighted on his engorged cock, she had a pretty good idea what made him return to his humanoid form.
“Hold that thought,” she said as she slid out of bed. “I’ll be right back.”
Joven watched as she p
added into the bathroom naked.
Fifteen rotations after completing the mating frenzy of their initial bonding, they were still unable to go a day without sex. Generally, they mated in the evening and again in the morning. Afterward, they shared breakfast in their kitchen in the breakfast nook.
Joven had a meeting with his first team and the new team that morning, but he was free to spend the rest of the day with Carly. They got up from the table and walked together toward the door.
“When I get back, we can order some clothing for you from Jaiba,” he suggested. “They will send it out by a drone. But you don’t have to dress on my account.”
“Oh, you would like that,” she teased sassily.
“I would,” he admitted with a sexy grin. After a moment, he said, “You can probably expect a vidcom from Skye Carter Knight. Rader said she was thrilled and excited to have another woman from Earth to talk to.”
“I can’t wait to meet her. It’s some kind of weird coincidence that we were on different sides of the same city during the Drayid attack on Earth, and now we are on the same planet married to cyborgs who served together in the war.”
“They will be at the gathering next rotation set here, along with Makus and Jhenre Driza.”
“Here?” Carly’s eyes widened. “As in this house, here.” She pointed to the floor.
“Don’t worry, meomee. Our service droid will take care of the preparations, and we have the room,” Joven said in a soothing tone. “It will give everyone a chance to get acquainted. All of the new team members have mates, and one pair has offspring.”
“Well, okay. I’m sure it will be fine,” she said hopefully. “We have a droid?”
“Yes, four, actually. We have one who takes care of the house and serves our meals, and three who work the fields.”
“That doesn’t leave me much to do,” Carly said with a frown. “I’ve been a teacher for eight years. Now I am wondering if anyone even wants to learn what I know how to teach. Technology here is so far ahead of Earth.”
