“I did too. I was worried that it would never happen again,” I said, putting my hands against his back.
“Shh… don’t worry about that now. It’s over. You are safe with me. I will protect you, and I will protect our child,” he said. His words only turned me on more. I wanted him to be the one to keep me and my unborn child safe. I knew that now more than ever.
Dekario moved slowly inside of me, in and out. He was careful not to put his weight on me. He held himself up on his strong thick arms. Through this position, I could see down his torso to where we met in union. I loved watching his strong, toned abs contract with each movement. I ran my hands down his torso as I watched. Dekario was moaning and growling a low growl as he moved in and out of me. I could feel him tensing up, and I knew that he was on the verge.
“Oh, Reena, Reena,” he moaned out my name. As soon as he said my name, I felt the build up inside of me again in my sensitive state. I was already on the edge of another orgasm. Dekario’s perfect body was such a hot thing to look at that I was very, very, heated. I pressed my fingertips into his torso as I felt my body tighten and then release again.
“I’m going to release,” Dekario breathed out the words.
“Me too. Don’t stop,” I said. Then he kept moving a little faster and faster and then we both released together.
“Oh, oh, Dekario…” I whispered as I enjoyed the pulsing ecstasy my body was gifting to me. Dekario was moaning and slowed down his movements until he was completely still inside of me. We stayed silent as we let the orgasms wash over us.
Moments later Dekario was lying at my side. He put his hand on my belly and said, “Are you sure you are all right?”
“Yes, I feel wonderful,” I said.
“Good. I am glad to hear it. If you feel anything at all, you will tell me,” he said.
“I promise I will tell you. I will even have Luka look me over. I am sure that she is anxious to do so. She is a doctor, you know,” I said.
“Yes, I know. And you are a scientist. But Kavik has returned. He visited me while you slept. So I doubt that Luka has left her bed,” he said.
“Kavik is back! I am glad to hear!” I said happy for our friend’s return.
“Yes, so am I,” I said.
“I guess that the three of us, Luka, Phoenix, and I, will need to meet with the king once more. We are to tell him that we all want to stay if Kelon will have us,” I said.
“All? Phoenix too?” he asked.
“Yes, I think he has fallen in love as well,” I said laughing.
“This is good news. I do not think the king will protest, but yes, we must get his permission officially,” he smiled. “But we will see to such things tomorrow. For now, it is late again. I am hungry. I will call to have dinner brought to us from the kitchens,” he said as he kissed my head and got up out of bed.
“I can stay in bed the rest of the night,” I said snuggling into the soft spot of warmth that he had just left on the bed.
“And so you shall. We shall have dinner in bed,” he smiled as he moved his naked body out of the room. When he returned, he had a big grin on his face.
“What are you smiling about?” I asked.
“I had an idea,” he said.
“What is that?” I asked, suspicious of what this idea could be to make him grin like that.
“Well, I don’t want to hurt you when I am inside of you. You are carrying my child, and I don’t want to slip and release my weight on you something like that.”
“Yes, go on,” I said.
He got in bed and laid on his back and said, “You should be on top. You should straddle me and ride me. This way I can’t crush you,” he said with a big grin.
“That’s what you figured out?!” I said laughing as I rolled on top of him.
“Yes, I am very smart,” he said playfully.
“Well I suppose we can try it,” I said kissing his long torso as I hovered above it.
“Try?” he said.
“Yes, try it and maybe…” I said teasing him.
“Good, how about right now?” he said as he looked down at his cock. I looked down and noticed that his staff was rigid.
“Already? We just finished only minutes ago,” I said playfully.
“Well yes, but that was minutes ago. This new idea has me feeling ready to give it a try. Just thinking about it has me turned on,” he said as he pulled me up to him.
He kissed my mouth gently. I moved over him, straddling him. My legs were across his stomach. When he stopped kissing me, I scooted back until I was over his hard cock. I placed it in my hand and firmly moved my hand up and down. He groaned as I did so.
I loved looking down at his long form from this vantage point. His long dark hair was messy around his head. His dark, thick eyebrows were hovering above his sultry brown eyes. His full lips parted, and he licked the bottom one. His strong jaw was tensed as I played with his cock. I could tell that he was really enjoying it. Then I pulled myself up on my knees and placed the tip of his cock inside of me. Then slowly I sat down toward him. He slipped inside of me slowly. I smiled as I watched him. He placed his hands on my breasts. I moved up and down and up and down again. I was really enjoying being in control of the movement. Dekario was moaning and groaning underneath me as he watched me.
“I think I like this a lot,” he said.
“I think I do too,” I said realizing just how deep he went inside of me in this sitting position. It was safer for our child too. In this position, there was no way that he could accidentally put all his weight on me. This was good in all ways.
I pressed the palms of my hands against his six pack abs and used it to hold me up as I bounced up and down on him. Within seconds we were both exploding into orgasm. It was a good second round of love making and not the last, but we did have to stop for dinner.
I was so happy. I had been through a lot, but it was worth it to get to this moment of joy. Dekario had declared his love for me, and I had nothing more to fear… or so I thought.
CHAPTER TWELVE
LIEUTENANT DEKARIO DUNDRA
A child! A human Draqua hybrid child, and it was my child! It was the best news that I could ever receive. The female that I was deeply in love with was carrying my offspring, and nothing could be better than that. I was happier than I thought I could be. Even though I always got what I wanted when I wanted, I did not think that I would get Reena. So I was more than happy to spend the last twenty-four hours in bed with her. But after that, it was time to do some work.
I had responsibilities to take care of after the mess of the battle. I needed to speak with the king. So I took Reena to be with Luka to do a check up, as she called it.
“Don’t let them out of your sight,” I told Kavik, who sat in Luka’s hut.
“I promise you I won’t,” he said smiling at me.
I moved over to Reena and kissed the top of her hand, “I will be back.”
“I know. Go see the king. He is waiting. I am fine here,” she said.
I left her and went to the palace. I made my way up to the king’s chamber. He was looking over a report.
“So you saw it? You saw them, the Aeriwana-Draqua hybrid?” he asked. “Kavik already gave me a report.”
“Yes. I am positive that is what it was. They were in Riqov, and one of them was named Temuk. He tortured Kavik and I,” I said.
“Torture, a favorite tool of the Aeriwana,” the king said.
“Yes, and you were right all along. There is still breeding going on. There were at least four that I saw, maybe more.”
“You think that Commander Triq was doing it?”
“When I accused him of it, he growled at me but did not admit as much. It is possible that he was working for someone else,” I said.
“If you would have left him alive then we would be able to find out,” the King said annoyed.
“I know. I apologize, King. It was not the Draqua way to to do such a thing. I know that it is essential to
gather as much information as possible when dealing with these things. I was not myself,” I said.
“Yes, because he stole Reena. I understand. I would have done the same thing. How is she?” he asked.
“Pregnant,” I said.
“What? Really? That is good news indeed. I now understand your reason for killing him. Nothing should harm your pregnant mate,” he said. “I know from experience.”
“Yes, that is true,” I said as I grinned, remembering the stories I had heard about King Hydros and Queen Melody. Then the king grew silent.
After a few moments passed, he said, “We may have some answers yet, answers about the breeding of Aeriwana and Draqua,” he said.
“Yes, in time we shall find out all that we can. I assume,” I said.
“No, not in time. Soon. After Kavik told me about Riqov, I sent a mission there,” he said.
“You did?” I asked shocked.
“Yes, they are to bring the Aeriwana Draqua here if they catch any,” he said.
“What? Here!” I was astounded that he would bring the awful creatures into our homelands. “But why?”
“They will be prisoners, of course. But through them I should learn once and for all who is the one that is doing this,” the King said.
“It just seems dangerous. These Draqua are very powerful, and they are not like us at all. I have seen them,” I said.
“I am aware of the dangers. I would not put our village in danger, but it is in danger every day that goes by and we don’t know what these Aeriwana are doing. It is better that we catch them and keep a watch on them so that we know. There will be no surprise attacks. The fact that the opposition had a base here on Kelon in the Manta is unacceptable. Now we must keep better track of our enemies,” he said.
“I understand,” was all that I said. I did not agree with him on this one but he was the king, and I owed him my loyalty.
“Now go be with your human female. I know they will be standing in front of me in a few days as they have requested an audience. I will see them in time as I want to deal with this pressing matter first. You are dismissed,” he said.
I nodded to him. I had so many questions. How long had it been since he launched that mission? Which warriors went? Where would the Aeriwana be kept, as I did not see our prison cells holding them? I made my way back to Luka’s hut. They were in the kitchen cooking as Kavik sat at the window peering out over the sky. He was keeping watch like a good warrior.
“Welcome back! Did you have a good meeting with the king?” Reena said as she jumped up when she saw me and skipped over to me. She reached up on her tiptoes and wanted me to kiss her. I placed a very light kiss on her lips as I did not want to hurt her bruised jaw.
“I did have a good meeting. I have much to discuss with Kavik,” I said, nodding to him.
“Well, you warriors go ahead and leave us pregnant ladies out then. We will just cook and slave away in the kitchen,” Luka said in a joking way as she laughed a girly laugh.
“Yes, feed us well. We need energy, for we are warriors,” Kavik said in response to her joke in his deepest voice. Reena laughed and moved back into the kitchen. I walked outside the door to the veranda. Kavik followed me. He shut the door behind us, and I whispered to him, “There could be trouble soon.”
“What is it?” he asked.
“After your report of the Aeriwana, the king sent a mission to Tiok. He has instructed the warriors to bring any back here as prisoners if they find any. He is looking for Temuk in Riqov.”
“No, that can’t be good,” Kavik said.
“No, it cannot. Let us hope that the mission does not find any,” I said.
“But I see why the king is doing it. Waiting around until something attacks you is not a good position to be in. He wants to have control over the situation,” Kavik said.
“Yes, I agree with that. Only why not keep them locked up on the planet Tiok? We can manage that. Not bring them here,” I said.
“Yes, I am extra paranoid too now that Luka is with child,” Kavik grinned reading my mind.
“It is almost excruciating. At first, we only had ourselves to think of in dangerous situations, and now that has changed,” I said.
“Yes, Luka told me that Reena is also with child. Are you going to take her as a wife?” Kavik asked.
“Yes. Are you going to take Luka?”
“Yes, I am, if she will have me. She has said yes, but I feel like she will change her mind at any second and you know the law since Queen Melody took the throne,” Kavik said.
“Yes, I know it all too well. The human female must agree to be your mate as well in order to have marriage,” I laughed.
“So what do you want to do about the Aeriwana situation?” he asked.
“What can we do? We will just have to keep an eye on it. But for now, let’s say nothing to Reena and Luka. I don’t think that extra stress is good for them after everything that has already happened.”
“I agree,” he said.
“Let’s just hope that nothing happens, and we don’t have to speak of it ever again. Let’s go eat,” I said as I patted him on the back. We walked inside the hut and ate with our new family. I was counting down the days until the king would see the humans and officially grant them a stay on Kelon. This way I could move forward and claim her as well.
Two days passed before they were finally summoned to stand before the king and make their decision official.
“State your plea, humans,” the king said as he stood with his wife, Queen Melody.
“I, Reena Rhodes, wish to obtain permission to stay on Kelon permanently. I do not wish to return to Earth. I wish to take Lieutenant Dekario Dundra as a husband as he is the father of my unborn child,” Reena said as she stepped forward.
“You do understand that this means that you shall not return to Earth ever again. You are to stay here and become Draqua,” the Queen said.
“Yes, Queen Melody, I understand it means I shall never see Earth again, or know the comforts of the material things of humans. I am ready and willing to give up that life in exchange for a life here,” Reena said. The king and queen nodded to her.
Then Luka stepped up and said something similar. They put her through the same questioning process. Then it was Phoenix that stepped up and declared his wish to stay.
“After hearing from the human guests, I, King Hydros, grant them permission to stay and live on Kelon. Let it be known that the humans willingly gave up their lives on Earth to have a life here with the Draqua on Kelon,” he said.
I stood up proudly, relieved that this portion was being put into action. Now I could marry Reena Rhodes. The king continued.
“We are happy to hear of the offspring that you have created. You are contributing to our race and preventing the extinction of it. Your mates wish to marry you and make you wives. If you agree to it, then I shall grant it so,” he said.
Reena turned to me, and Luka turned to Kavik. “Yes, I do agree to marriage,” Reena said grabbing my hand. “And I agree as well,” Luka said.
“Then I, King Hydros, grant it so. We shall have a great ceremony so that you may marry your Draqua warriors. We will have it next week. The village needs a grand celebration, and the warriors that fought in the battle at the Manta deserve some fun and relaxation. It will also be a chance to—”
Ping! Ping! The palace sirens rang loud and clear. Everyone looked startled, but Kavik and I had our blasters in our hands as soon as the first siren went off.
“King Hydros!” a guard shouted through the door of the chamber. “The Aeriwana has escaped!”
“No!” the King said. “Find them now!”
I looked at Kavik, and we both looked at the King. “Aeriwana? They are here?”
“Yes. I thought it best not to tell anyone until it was necessary. I did not want to cause a panic in the village,” the king said.
“Did you bring Temuk here?” Kavik asked.
“Yes, and now he has escaped,” the k
ing said.
“Shit,” I said in anger.
“We have to go find him. Dekario and I know him best,” Kavik said.
“It is true,” I said, already looking at Reena, knowing there was a plea on her lips.
“No. Let the guards search for him. Please don’t leave,” she said.
