He drops his hand from my arm to my thigh and squeezes it lightly. “I need no thanks from my mate. What's mine is yours.”
My heart skips a beat. Did he just call me his mate? His words recall a blurry memory to my mind. I was frightened. A scary alien covered in orange fur was squeezing my arm. He wouldn't let me go. Then a flurry of flashing steel and blood. That's what happened. Oh Peter. He thinks I'm his mate. And he'll kill to keep me.
I look at him nervously, trying to keep the fear out of my eyes. “How long have I been asleep?”
“Several hours. It is daytime now.” He gestures to a small steel box by the far wall. “I know you did not like the food I had offered you before. I bartered you a few different things you can try. I want you well fed. You will need your strength. Kartak will not be a forgiving home.”
“Home...” I need to play along with him for now. Act like I plan to stay until I find Rhea. Then we can come up with a plan together. It's not like he's mistreated me. He's saved my life three times that I can count. Probably more times that I didn't even notice.
“Okay, but before I eat, you promised me you'd take me back to my escape pod. I need to find my friend.”
“Escape pod?” He stands up, his ears twitching in agitation. He flexes his hands into clenched fists. “Who were you escaping from?”
I feel conflicted by his reaction. It sends a thrill up my spine to see a man react like so, just because he thinks someone might have tried to harm me. But I don't like the idea that he thinks he can possess me. “I don't know what happened. We were on a ship in orbit getting ready to land, when we were shot down.”
“So you are truly from the stars?” He drops down to his knees by the bed and clasps my hands in his. “Tell me who attacked you, and I will make an offering of their heads as a gift to you.”
“I- I don't know,” I stammer. “I think Rhea would know.” It's been nearly two days now since we crashed. If I have to lie to him to get him to help me rescue her, so be it. “We need to go back to where I crashed. To see if she's still alive. I think she can tell you who attacked us.”
“Very well. We will eat. You will rest. I will go search for her when the sun sets.” He pulls me up from the bed towards the box with the food. “Come, eat. You will need your energy.”
I pull my hand out of his grip. “Why wait? I need to find my friend now. She's been by herself for two days. Who knows how badly hurt she is. She can't wait anymore.”
He looks at me, as he would look at a sullen child. “It is too hot out for you. Your body is soft and full of water. The desert nearly cooked you alive in your sweat when I found you. Do you not remember? I do not think you could have survived if I had not brought you back here. Or if I did not have coldstones to take the fire from your flesh. I have lived my entire adult life thinking that my fated mate would never be within my reach. Now that I have found you, I will not lose you to carelessness.”
What does he mean by fated mate? It must be the translation; I guess it's too much to hope for the technology to be perfect. If he thinks we are mates, then I will have to use that to make sure he saves Rhea. I do not want him to find her without me there to comfort her. After remembering what he did. I have no idea what he'd do. What if he's convinced she'll try to take me away from him? He might just kill her. I need to stop thinking I understand him. I barely understand human men, never mind an alien one.
I step close to him and put a hand on his chest, and slowly feel my way down his tight stomach. At least I can say that this will be fun. “Okay, Leo.” I lift myself up on the tip of my toes and kiss him lightly on the lips. “We'll eat.” I kiss him on his chin. “Then we'll rest.” I kiss him on his neck and lick him down to his collarbone. I hear him purring. I feel the sounds rumbling deep in his chest. He has the look of a lion, with his thick main, flat nose and pointed ears. A big blue lion.
I take the bottom of his shirt in my hands and lift it up to his chest. I'm too small to lift it above his head, so he takes over and tosses his shirt on the ground. I run my fingers down his abs and feel the outline of his six pack. His body is incredibly defined. I know what he means when he says I'm so full of water, because it doesn't look like there's any spare water padding his muscles.
I kiss his chest, lick lightly at his nipple and feel him catch his breath. I slide a hand into his pants slowly, feel the short fur trailing down from his belly with my fingertips. It's so soft. I hear him breath in as my hand reaches the base of his cock and I stroke his rapidly hardening shaft. I tug at his pants and try to pull them down but they hold fast. I guess that's the only downside of his tight pants. I look up at him and tease him with a coy smile. “Help me get these down. I don't know how your pants work.”
He reaches into his waist on the sides and loosens a cord on the inside. His purring grows louder. I push his arm back and finish for him, pushing down his pants. His cock is fully erect now, straining against his waistband. It springs free when I push down his thighs and let them rest at his knees. I gasp lightly, my mouth drops open. “I'd heard the phrase before, but this really is a purple monster.”
I grab his thick shaft with one hand, look up at him and lick my lips. I stroke his cock lightly, feeling the ridges on his shaft. It reminds me of a dildo I saw at the last way-station, where Rhea insisted on taking me. A purple one with ridges. Rhea almost convinced me to buy it. But Leo's cock has to be at least twice as big. There's enough there for me to hold with two hands and leave more than enough left for my mouth. I feel myself getting wet with anticipation.
I kiss him again on the mouth, squeeze his cock and drop down to my knees before him. I look up at him and wet my lips. He looks back at me, the look of a hungry predator on his face. I hear him gasp as I place a wet kiss on his cock. I plant another kiss on his shaft and work my way to where it meets his blue fuzzy balls. I gently hold them in one hand, careful not to squeeze, and drag my wet tongue down the base of his shaft to its head, feeling the contours of his ridges. The short fur on his major vein feels soft on my tongue.
He purrs in pleasure as I take the head of his cock in my mouth, flicking it with my tongue and sucking on it gently. I work it in as deep as I can, but it's just so big. It'll take a lot of practice before I can even get a third of his pride and joy into my mouth.
I work his penis in my mouth, take his hand in mine and put it on my head, letting him guide me. He grips my hair lightly, and starts working his hips to match my tempo as he lightly thrusts his massive dick into my mouth. I can feel him tensing, getting ready to come. I can't help but wondering what his cum is going to look and taste like. I bet it'll be purple.
Before he comes, he pulls my head back, stands me up and kisses me deeply. His tongue wrestles with mine and he picks me up, walks me over to the bed and tosses me lightly on top of the furs. I laugh in delight and undo my belt, tossing it off the bed. He lifts my shirt over my head and I lift up my ass and let him take my panties off.
He gets on top of my and ravishes my breasts with his silky tongue. I moan wildly. I grab a fistful of his mane and pull his face off my breast. “I'm wetter than I've ever been Leo. I need to feel you inside me.”
I hear him make a sound like a roar in response. I spread my legs and he positions himself between them, his cock standing tall and erect before him. Like the main battle gun on a ship of the line. Another time, I might have been worried whether I could handle his size, but I'm too horny to have any clear thoughts. He positions his penis at my entrance and runs its tip between my lips. I gasp from the sensation. He does it again, starting from the top and dips his head into my wetness, testing me. I groan with anticipation and pull my knees back to make more room for my massive alien.
He holds me by the bottom of my knees and pushes into me. He starts thrusting rhythmically, slowly working his length into my wetness. I groan in pleasure as I feel myself fill up with his length. I've never felt so full before and there's no end to it. This is more dick than I ever thought I would need. Bu
t I want all of it.
I watch him as he fucks me with his massive cock, sending waves of pleasure washing through my body. Every thrust is like a wave crashing on a beach. I start feeling my climax approaching. “Oh, Leo. Yes, fuck me harder.” He keeps thrusting, deeper and harder with every thrust. “I'm coming!”
He keeps fucking me as I come. My pussy clenches on his dick, trying to hold him inside me, but he keeps fucking me and another climax begins to build until it erupts. I grab his head and pull him down to me and kiss him, biting at his lips and his tongue, moaning into his mouth with every thrust. He lets my legs drop by his side, leans down over me as he keeps fucking me into orgasm after orgasm.
I feel him breathing heavily and thrusting hard as he gets ready to come. I pull my legs up and wrap my feet around his waist, letting him fuck me into oblivion. He roars as he slams his dick into me and begins to come. I feel his dick spasm inside me, filling me with his seed. He holds himself over me, as we breathe heavily, staring at each other with lust in our eyes. He kisses me again, pulls himself out of me, turns over and collapses by my side.
I turn my head to look at him. Leo, my big bad blue alien, is catching his breath with his eyes closed.
I did good. I'd never have guessed that I'd be the first to give an alien a blow job, never mind having an alien fuck my brains out. It's a good thing I'm sterile. Or else I'd have to worry about whether he could get me pregnant.
Rhea will be really proud of me when I tell her this story. I feel a twinge of guilt thinking about her. She's Peter knows where, probably wondering how she's ever going to get home alive, and here I am in an alien sex god's bed enjoying more orgasms than I've had in the past five years.
My stomach rumbles in hunger, only ever thinking about itself. Leo stirs next to me and sits up. “I'll make us some food.”
“Thanks.” I pat him on his broad shoulder. “That's just what I need.”
I sit up in bed, still feeling spent from the amazing sex when I hear a squawk of static from my comms laying on the heap of clothes by the bed.
Leo pauses to look at what made the noise, but I jump down on the floor and pick it up. I activate the comms, “Rhea! Is that you?!”
Nothing. I wait there holding my breath, desperate to hear her voice.
Moments pass like an eternity. Leo stays silent, watching me. As my hope begins to turn to despair I hear her voice. “This is Rhea. Astrid, can you hear me?”
“Oh, thank Peter you're alive!” I cry with happiness. “I was starting to think I'd never hear from you. Where are you?”
“I'm still in the escape-” her voice cuts off mid-sentence, “managed to get out and fix the comms. But it took a while. What happened to you?”
“That is a long story better told over strong drinks and good food.” Now that I can finally speak with her, I don't even know what to tell her. Never mind what to tell her in front of the alien that thinks I'm his mate. “I am going to come get you Rhea. Can you stay in place? Is your distress beacon active?”
“Yeah, I got it working.” Her voice sounds weak. I remember she had a bad wound in her leg. I hope it's not infected. There's no chance there was proper medical equipment in her escape pod. “I got the broadcast working five minutes ago. You should have heard the beacon activate if your comms aren't damaged.”
I don't think there's a chance I would have heard a nuclear explosion go off five minutes ago. “Okay, I see it now. Must be the batteries dying. But I've got enough left to track you back to your escape pod. You hold tight. We are coming to get you.”
“We? Who's we?”
“Like I told you, Rhea.” I see Leo watching me as he prepares the food he got for me. “It's a long story. But if the first person that greets you when you open your escape pod is a big blue hunk, don't shoot him!”
“That does sound like an interesting story. I can't wait to hear you tell it.”
“Rhea, I've got to stop talking on this thing. The battery is dying. I need to cut off the line to keep the drain low, to make sure I won't lose your signal.”
“Okay. Just come get me.” She sounds sad and desperate. “And if you have any pain killers and antibiotics, please bring them with you. My leg is really messed up.”
The reality of the situation comes crashing down on me. I start choking up. “I'm going to come get you. I promise. I'm turning off the comms now.” I click off the voice channel. “I'm sorry.” I choke out those last words.
I turn to Leo who has prepared an assortment of weird delicacies. He holds it up to me, but doesn't say anything.
“Thanks, but I need to take that to go.” I cross my arms over my breasts, feeling very silly asking him to leave while I'm naked and covered with sweat. “We have to go now.” The insides of my thighs feel sticky with his purple seed. “Also, I need a towel.”
He sighs deeply and puts the tray of food down. “Eat that while I get you a towel. I can show you where to wash.”
“I don't have time for that.” I pick a small brown morsel up from the plate. It looks like it could be some sort of mushroom. I take a bit and feel a rush of sweet and salty juices on my tongue. “This is actually pretty good.”
He smiles as he emerges from another room and hands me a green towel. “I want to convince you to stay behind, but I know you will not let me.”
“Good. That means you're smart. And I really don't want to think I just let an idiot fuck my brains out.”
He laughs for a moment. It's a strange look on him. Then his expression turns serious again. “You have to promise me two things. Until you learn the dangers of this world, when you are out, you will not leave my sight, and you'll listen to what I ask you to do.”
I frown as I dry myself with the towel. I know what he says comes from a good place. But I've always been willful. I can pretend I will follow his rules though. Just like with Kole.
“Okay, I promise.” I wonder though; what will he do if I don't keep to my promise?

LEO
It is another hot day, but the wind is calmer than before. I am riding at maximum speed at my mate's urging. She rides behind me, her arms wrapped around my belly. I enjoy her tight hold on my body. This was how it was meant to be. Mates, riding together through the wilderness.
I worry for her, out in the elements. I worry about the condition we will find her friend in. I worry about how long our new supply of water will last, with two soft women to keep alive.
This worrying is a good feeling for me. For too long, I have not felt the need to worry. What is there to worry about when you have no one to care for? I left my family and Clan long ago to never return. I have lived the life of a renegade since, taking what I need from others. No one who has dared stand in my way has lived to regret their decision. Where I am met with respect, it comes from fear, not camaraderie.
Now that I have found my mate, I am filled with worry. But I welcome it. It fills that void I have felt growing inside me. The void only my fated mate could fill. I will do anything I must to protect her, and to keep her.
I feel my mate tapping me on my shoulder. I look back at her sweet face. She shows me the indicator on her comms and points at a cliff face in the distance. “I think she's there.” I nod and veer in that direction.
As we prepare to head out, Astrid told me how she came crashing on Kartak. About her salvage mission, the attack on her ship, and how she and Rhea escaped. I don't know much about space travel, other than what most on Kartak know. Space travel used to be common before the calamity that reshaped Kartak, but ever since, space travel has been closed to Kartak.
No one has come to Kartak since except for my Astrid, and her friend. And no one has been able to recover the secrets of space travel. There are too few of us and precious little resources left on Kartak to return it to its past state of glory.
Those of us that remain on Kartak are left to feed off each other and the scraps of a dead civilization.
I pull to a stop on a rocky outcroppi
ng. If there is anyone there, they would be able to see us from a great distance. I need a moment to see if there is any danger to Astrid in our approach. I pull out my binoculars and train them on the cliff-side. There's no signs of movement but I locate what must be the escape pod. I point at the spot, in the bottom of the cliff where the vessel has crashed. Astrid adjusts her goggles and nods excitedly. “That's it!”
She activates her comms and speaks into it, “Rhea, are you in there? I can see your escape pod!”
A moment of brief silence passes before Rhea responds, “oh, thank Peter.” Her voice is weak. I suspect she is suffering from an infection to her wound. I brought what medicine I had that could help her, but I worry it will not be enough.
“Just don't go anywhere. Okay, Rhea? I'm coming to get you.” She turns to me, “Let's go!”
I put my hand on her shoulder gently and she immediately gets her back up, ready to defy me. I think she knows what I am about to ask of her.
“You need to wait here.” I point at the cliff. “I can't tell if there is anyone up there where I cannot see. And my jetbike cannot get high enough for me to get eyes on that.”
Astrid pushes my hand off her shoulder and looks back at me defiantly, “I don't care. What does that matter? We are out in the middle of nowhere. There's no way anyone's waiting for us. Rhea would have told me if there was any danger near.”
I growl in irritation. She truly is like a child wondering into the middle of danger with no thought to her safety. “I told you before. Kartak is dangerous, and you are precious to me. I would not risk losing you just so you can see your friend ten minutes sooner.”
I gesture at the wasteland around us. “Kartak is my home. I know it and the dangers that hide in its every corner. Your escape pod crashing attracted my attention, and the attention of the skinners I killed to protect you. Hers will have attracted the same attention. They could be waiting for their moment to strike.”
I put my hand back on her shoulder. “Before we came, you promised me that you would listen to me, so I can keep you safe.”
