She wasn't very happy about it and refused to join the women on their hunk watching escapade but eventually, after swearing the women to secrecy, Temple agreed to open the doors.
After that, they found no resistance as they made their way through the ship to the viewing window on the south side of the cabin deck. While deck seven was too high up and facing the wrong direction to see anything in the underground cave, from the viewing window on the cabin deck that Alice and Nora stayed on with their mates you could see everything.
Chapter 11
Returning to the ship, Hex deposited the items he had picked up with another member of his tribe with instructions to take them to the human volunteers before he followed Torq on his mission to find his mate. “I thought the females were meant to stay on deck seven?” he asked as they entered the ship.
“They were, but I was informed by the twins while I was waiting for you that they hadn’t,” he growled, not in the least bit happy.
They found the females on the main cabin deck, giggling as they gazed out of the large viewing window.
“What about him?” one of the females asked, pointing out of the window at Xandr, who seemed to be taking his frustrations out on one of the many rock formations inside the cave.
“Nice… but not for me,” the beautiful blonde Hex hadn’t been able to get out of his head sighed. At the sight of her, his recently unresponsive cock stirred to life.
“Him?”
It was only then that Hex realised what the females were actually doing. His fists clenched as jealously unlike anything he had ever felt before rode him hard.
She shouldn’t be looking at other males. She was his!
His?
Breathing hard, he looked her over in the flesh for the first time, noticing every freckle, every dimple. She was truly breath-taking. And his mate.
He should have known. The moment he had seen her on the camera feed he had been drawn to her. No one had ever affected him like that before. How could he not have realised? Especially after he had failed to react to the sales assistant at the supermarket.
“I doubt there is a hot alien mate in my future,” his mate sighed sadly.
Oh, there was... and he wasn’t going to waste another minute.
When Alice turned and spotted Torq, she moved into his arms. “Well, if both Nora and I have found one, I’m sure you can too.”
Turning her back to the window, Katie’s gaze moved over Hex, sadness in her eyes as she said, “Well, I disa…” Stopping mid-word, her wide eyes swung back to him, her mouth agape.
Did she sense that they belonged together? Humans didn’t have the same senses as Chaetdorians, but Nora and Alice had quickly accepted their fated mates. Would he be as lucky?
“Katie?” Alice queried, worry clear in her voice.
Not given the females a chance to swarm his mate, Hex strolled forwards, quickly and carefully lifting her over his shoulder and marching down the deck to the cabin he, as of yet, had never slept in. He had never been so thankful of his brother’s insistence that he have one.
"Put me down," she demanded, her fists raining down on his back. It didn't hurt, if anything it was kind of relaxing. He needed a massage.
Entering his cabin, hearing the doorway seal shut behind him, he allowed her to slip down from his shoulder and gently set her down on her feet. The feel of her body rubbing against his own had his cock straining even further against his leathers. He’d gone from impotent to rock hard in the space of an hour.
He still couldn't believe it. Since the moment he had seen her on the holding bay attack feed he had been drawn to her, found her incredibly attractive, but never in his wildest dreams had he thought that she would be his mate. As he’d walked down the cabin deck behind Torq, he’d felt a strange pull, an urge to push the Slayer Chaer out of the way and pick up speed. He knew why now. The human female he had drooled over, the one who's name sung to him, was his mate.
Stumbling back a step, she gazed up at him with wary eyes. He could scent her fear, but also... her hope?
This was insane. Katie had spent the last hour stood with the girls on the cabin deck watching the alien males outside the ship. Hannah would regularly point to one of them and ask if they were the male from her dreams. Both Alice and Nora had explained that they had felt instantly drawn to their mates and instead of trying to recognise the male – an impossibility as she had never once seen her dream lover – she should go with her gut, her instinct.
Dozens of males had walked by, some were Warriors and Slayers but the majority of them were Technos. She’d had to admit, there was something about the silver markings that drew her in, but none of the males she had seen had affected her. There was no pull, no drive to be with them.
She had almost given up hope when she turned to speak to Alice - whose mate had just returned - when she had set eyes on the most handsome, sexy-as-hell alien male ever.
It was him. She knew it was. And it was just like Nora and Alice had said. She felt drawn to him, found herself wondering what it would be like to have his body pressed against hers.
As it had turned out, she needn’t have wondered long as within a matter of seconds he had picked her up and carried her away in a fireman's lift. It was a good job she hadn’t brought her bag with her when they had left deck seven, otherwise, she may have acted without thinking and whacked him with it.
Gazing into his eyes as he stood before her in what she could only guess was his cabin, she found herself mesmerised. The silver orbs, while utterly alien, were actually easy for her to read. And what she saw in them was desire. A bank load of desire.
Looking him over, taking in his lean muscular body, her cheeks burned. She knew these aliens were huge, but... wow! The large appendage straining within his trousers left her mouth watering.
“I’m glad you like what you see, my sweet,” he said with a smirk. His cool voice sent shivers down her spine and straight to her core. “But I think I better introduce myself before this goes any further. I’m Hex.”
“Katie,” she found herself replying breathlessly.
“I know.”
Hold on. “You do?” How could he know who she was? She had never seen him before. She would have remembered him, that was for sure.
For some reason, he turned a little sheepish at her question, nervous to answer. “Well, I may have watched you on the cameras aboard the ship a few times.”
“You what?” Had she been wrong? Was this guy nothing but a giant perv?
“I saw the way you took out Dekon, the male that attacked your friends in the holding bay. Ever since then I’ve been bewitched by you. Are you sure your names not Samantha?” he teased with a wink.
“I’m no witch,” was her instant reply before she realised what he’d just said. “Hold on, you watch Bewitched?” She hadn’t seen that show since her mum was alive. They used to gather on the sofa on a Sunday evening to watch it. PJs and slippers on with bowls of popcorn at the ready. It had been her mother’s favourite show.
“Unlike the rest of my kind, I am not closed minded and find most human TV shows quite entertaining. Though I will never understand people's fascination with reality TV. Celebrities my arse.”
She tried to fight it, but the smile pulling at her lips was just too big to contain. She said the same thing to Hannah – the number one fan of all reality TV shows – on a regular basis.
“You’re beautiful when you smile. I think that will be one of my new projects.”
“What will? she asked, her heart picking up speed as he moved in closer.
“To make you smile so much each and every day that your cheeks hurt.” Placing his hand on the base of her spine, he pulled her against his warm, seriously excited body - judging by the humongous bulge she now felt against her stomach - and whispered in her ear. “And the other will be to make you scream in pleasure so much every night that your voice is hoarse for days.”
Chapter 12
He was being forward, pushi
ng his luck maybe, but he couldn't help it. She was his mate. The one female in the universe meant for him and he desired her more than he had ever thought possible. He wouldn't force her, he had more honour than that, but he really hoped she wouldn't keep him waiting too long.
His worrying turned out to be for nought as Katie took him by surprise, raising on her tiptoes to kiss him. The contact of her lips against his sent a sizzle of electricity through him and straight to his cock.
"You're mine, aren't you?" she asked breathlessly.
"Yes, as you will be mine."
Brow cocked, she queried, "Will be?"
"There is the simple fact of my claiming you first. But for that, we would need to be a lot closer, and these clothes would certainly have to go," he teased. At the full body shiver he felt pass through her body and the strengthening scent of her arousal, he had no doubt that she was on board with that plan. Still, it never hurt to get verbal confirmation first.
"Do you want that, Katie? Do you want me to strip you bare and fill you with my cock? And when you fall over the edge into paradise, your pussy clamping down around me, milking me of my seed, I'll place my fangs upon your neck and bite down, marking you as my one and only for all eternity."
"Yes," came her barely there whisper before he claimed her mouth in a heated kiss.
Losing himself to the taste of her sweet lips, Hex ground his hardness against her.
“I want to make this good for you, take my time and love you slowly, but I can't wait. I want you. Need you. Now,” he growled, his fangs aching for a bite of her flesh.
“Then what are you waiting for?” his mate teased, pulling away. He stepped forwards to stop her, missing the warmth of her body. Hands grasping the hem of her top, Katie quickly lifted it up over her head, exposing her naked breasts to his gaze.
Hex couldn’t help the animalistic growl that escaped him at the sight before him. “You are not wearing a bra.” He was a little disappointed that he would not get to show off his talent for removing them one-handed, but as her nipples tightened before his eyes he had more pressing matters to attend to. Like getting his mouth on those succulent berries.
“The dress I was abducted in didn't really allow for one.”
“Really? I would love to see you in that dress.”
“I bet you would,” she whispered, running her tongue over her kiss-swollen lips. The erotic sight had Hex struggling to keep control. He didn't want to scare her by getting all... aggressive on her. She deserved to be loved right. He didn't want to rush this. At least not too much. Once he got inside her, he couldn't promise that he would last long.
"So I could rip it off you and feast on your flesh."
As her hands moved to the waistband of her jeans, she paused. “ I think you're a little overdressed. How about I remove these when you remove that,” she said, pointing to the human t-shirt he had worn for his expedition to the supermarket.
Who was he to deny the wishes of his mate? Especially when what she wished was for him to get naked.
Making quick work of the t-shirt he wasted no time ridding himself of the jeans too. Standing before her, cock standing proudly to attention, a smile pulled at his lips at his mate's wide-eyed stare. “Now I think it is you who is overdressed.”
“You have... You've had...” she stuttered, her hands falling limply at her sides.
“My cock pierced. Why, yes I have.” He also had a human tattoo. Though, he was a little embarrassed about his mate seeing that. He had been supremely drunk at the time. Xandr had brewed a new batch of super strength chaetdorian ale - human alcohol had no effect on them - and he may have overdone it a little, Hopefully, she would not spot it and he could get one of the guys on the medibay to remove it before she did.
“Is that a problem?” he asked. From experience, he found that his piercing could heighten the pleasure of his partner, but not all females wanted to find that out. Some found it a turnoff. He hoped his mate was not one of them, he quite liked the sensation it created when it hit a females g-spot.
A wicked grin spread across her face as her hands returned to the waistband of her jeans. Snapping open the fastening, she slowly pushed them down over her hips, leaving her standing before him in nothing but the tiniest black lace panties. “No problem at all,” she whispered as she turned around to face the bed, hooking her fingers in the sides of her panties and lowering them to the floor.
Hex couldn’t hold back even if he wanted to, not when she teased him so. At the sight of her rounded peach of an ass bending over for him and the moist, glistening petals of her sex, a roar burst from his chest.
She was a tease, she couldn't deny it. She was torturing herself also, a need unlike anything she had known before causing her body to ache, but it was so much fun.
Hex's loud roar was the only warning she got before she suddenly found herself flat on her back on the bed, her naked alien mate above her.
"That's enough teasing, my sweet."
Mouth capturing hers, she opened for him immediately. As their tongues duelled her scraped the tip of one of his fangs. Would he really bite her? Would it hurt?
When he released her lips, his kisses moving down her neck and over her swell of her breasts, she opened her mouth to ask. Before she could even get a syllable out his heated mouth descended upon her nipple and all thought flew from her head. When he bit her stiff peak, her back arched off the bed as the sudden flash of pain seemed to elevate her pleasure. "Oh God!"
Opening to him when he slid his hand up the inside of her thigh, she moaned when he reached her slick folds, pushing first one then two fingers deep into her tight pussy. Never had she been so aroused so quickly before. In the past, she had needed a long session of foreplay beforehand, and then it wasn't guaranteed that she would be ready for penetration.
"Your arousal smells amazing, my sweet. I have to have a taste."
Abandoning her breasts, Hex moved down her body, settling on his knees at the foot of the bed. His eyes stayed locked on hers as he placed her legs over his shoulders and leant in. She felt a great loss at the removal of his fingers, but only for a moment as his mouth quickly replaced them.
Spreading her wide to his view, Hex lowered his mouth, zeroing in on the small swollen bud peeking out at him from under its hood.
“Fuck,” she gasped, her body trembling as she neared release.
Not wanting her to climax too soon, he released her clit and moved down to her damp entrance, teasing her some more by circling it a few times before sliding his tongue deep inside. When her pleas became incoherent and her hands pulled more sharply at his hair, he captured her clit within his mouth, licking and sucking until she was once again on the pinnacle.
Moving quickly back up her body, aligning himself with her wet pussy, he waited a moment until she opened her eyes and met his gaze. "You are mine, Katie. Forever."
With a quick thrust of the hips, he embedded himself in her warm rippling heat as Katie screamed, her body clamping down on him in her release. "Hex!" Gritting his teeth, he almost followed her over the edge but managed to keep his control, just.
As her orgasm began to subside, Hex pulled out, a moan escaping them both before he thrust back in. As he picked up speed, altering the angle of his propulsion to hit her sweet spot within, he struggled to hold back a grin at her wide-eyed gasp. The pain he had gone through when he had decided to test out the human fascination with piercings in the most extreme fashion was more worth it than ever before.
He was on the edge, barely holding on as he leant down, kissing her briefly before moving to her neck. Biting down hard, he sunk his fangs deep into her flesh, marking her as his mate and tying them together forever.
Screaming in pleasure, her second climax holding her tightly in its grip, Katie's body clamped down on his cock, pulling him over the edge with her and milking him of his seed. "Katie!"
A little while later when she had gotten her breath back, Katie sighed. "I have to say, I really like that piercing."
Laughing, Hex smiled down at his beautiful mate. "As I knew you would." Reluctantly leaving the bed, he went in search of a cloth so that he could take care of his mate.
“Your markings are back.”
Glancing down at his chest, Hex smiled wide as he took in the swirling silver markings that covered his arms and right side. It seemed that claiming his mate had had the same effect on him as it had Corr. Why was that?
Forgetting himself for a moment, he turned his back to her. Cackling, Katie asked, "Hex, what the fuck is that on your ass?"
Shit. Well, there was no hiding it now.
"That, my sweet, is what happens after drinking too much of Xandr's homebrewed Chaetdorian ale and then trusting the twins to get you back home safely."
"But why that tattoo? Why an alien from that film?"
Shrugging, he replied, "It’s a good film. If you ask me, Mars Attacks is so underrated."
Chapter 13
"So what's the plan?" Katie asked as she lay sprawled across Hex's sweaty, muscled chest after another bout of lovemaking. They had been held up in Hex's cabin for the past 24 hours and Katie still couldn't get over the amazing recovery rate of these males. How were Nora and Alice still alive?
"Plan?"
"Yeah. You know, where we're going? What happened after we leave Earth?"
Running his hand up and down her back, he said, "Well, I guess we keep on with our mission."
"Which is?"
"Find mates for the others... and find a new home," he added, sadness filling his voice.
Leaning up on her elbows, she gazed into his silver eyes. "What do you mean find a new home?"
Sighing heavily, he pulled her back down, brushing his lips against her hair before explaining, "Shortly after we left Chaetdor, we received a communication that our planet had been destroyed - reason unknown. We immediately returned, not wanting to believe what we were being told. When we arrived back at the location our beautiful planet had once stood all we found was dust and debris. We are all that is left."
