Verian Mates: The Complete Series (Books 1-4)

by Stella Sky

  “Thank you. Join us! There is plenty,” I said.

  “Yes! There is plenty,” Luka said interrupting us.

  Kavik smiled at her. I knew that smile well on him. “I would be glad to. I have some business to discuss with you as well.”

  “Understood,” I said as I motioned him to me closer to the shoreline. I pulled my long knife out of my boot and handed it handle first to Reena. “This is for the fish. I trust you can manage?”

  “I am a scientist. I think I know how to serve fish,” she said as she grabbed the knife from me and her and Luka made their way to the fire and to the fish.

  “What new, Kavik?” I said.

  “I found out as much as I could about Commander Triq’s mission.”

  “Lay it on me,” I said quietly.

  “Yatew and Borvon are the warriors that replaced us on the mission.”

  “I do not know them,” I said.

  “No, neither do I. They only finished their training a month ago. Very young hybrids,” Kavik said.

  “So they are young and impressionable. They know nothing but following orders. It makes sense that he chose them. What else?”

  “He took a small ship, a Kiva 867.”

  “A Kiva? That is not a cargo ship. That is a speed ship. It is one of the fastest in the fleet.”

  “Yes, exactly, and get this: there was no mission for a cargo transfer for him on the books. He convinced the port to let him take the ship by making up some bullshit story about a trade that needed immediate attention on Tiok. No doubt he scared the shit out of the port guard in some manner or other to allow that to happen.”

  “Just as I thought. Good work, Kavik. I will report this to the king and see what actions he wishes us to take. When I spoke to him earlier, he said that only you and I should secretly keep an eye on Commander Triq and that situation but to take no action. I will see if this new information changes that, but I doubt it.”

  “Good, because I’m done with work for the day. The sun is setting, and I have grown… hungry,” he said as he looked over at Luka. I saw her turn to him and give him a smile. We moved toward the human females.

  “Have you already cut yourself?” I playfully said as I sat in the sand next to Reena.

  She smiled. “I have perfectly cut the fish with no incidences,” she smiled.

  “That’s impressive,” I said looking at her work. We all sat around the fire eating and having a good time. It was very strange to get along so well with these humans. I was not expecting to have anything to talk about or to spend time with a human female other than the mating that was necessary. This was refreshing.

  “Come on, I want to show you something,” I said to Reena as I stood up and held my hand out to her.

  She stood up and said, “Where are we going?”

  “You will see,” I said with a smile.

  “But I promised Luka we would walk back to our huts together,” she said.

  “I’ll walk her home!” Kavik blurted out. We were all silent for a second. Then Luka cut through the silence as she said, “Oh yes, that will be fine. Don’t worry about me, Reena.”

  “All right,” Reena said with a smile. I grabbed her hand and led her down the beach a bit as we walked in silence. Then I stopped and looked at her.

  “Well?” she said.

  I didn’t answer. Instead, I picked her up into my arms and flew into the night sky. She let out a little squeal as I did so. “What are you doing?” she said as she wrapped her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist.

  “Having some fun,” I told her.

  I flew out over the water and then got very low over it. Reena laughed as the spray from the water wet her. I had fun taking my time allowing her to enjoy the flight. I never understood how humans could ever find any enjoyment without the ability to fly, so I wanted to show her what it was like in a fun way. We weren’t running from any monster or flying to a specific destination with a purpose. We were just flying for fun. She giggled and placed soft kisses on my chest. As soon as she did so, I found myself aroused. She shouldn’t have done that because now there was no stopping me. The queen herself did give me permission to court Reena, as she put it. I assumed this was as close to courting as a Draqua could get.

  “There,” I said as I looked ahead.

  “What is it?” she asked.

  “It’s an island called Eita. It is isolated and very small. That is where we are going,” I said as I flew to the island. It was only about the size of a very large hut in the village. I landed on the sand.

  “Oh my gosh. This is incredible. It looks like it’s just floating in the ocean,” Reena said as she walked around the small area of land surrounded by water.

  “Look at these trees; there are only three but they are tall, and they look happy to be on this small piece of land,” she said as she excitedly took it all in.

  “Yes, and look up. Without the light of the village, you can see all the stars and our three moons,” I said. She looked up and gasped.

  “Dekario, this is beautiful. I have never seen so many stars in my life. They completely cover the sky barely leaving in black. The moons, they are glowing and—”

  She couldn’t finish because I placed my mouth aggressively on hers, cutting her off. I couldn’t wait anymore. She moaned and put her hands against my forearms. I put my hands on her bottom and squeezed. Then I let my hand go down her bottom, further and further as I kissed her. Then I let my long fingers slide between her thighs. Reena sighed and lifted her thigh against my leg. I groaned in response. I pushed them up her loincloth and directly onto her sweet center.

  “Oh god,” she whispered between kisses. I allowed two fingers to push inside of her warmth. She whimpered and pressed her body against mine. I moved my fingers slowly within her as she cried out. My cock was completely hard. I rubbed it against her small frame. Understanding my needs, Reena reached down and placed her hand on top of it. She rubbed the material of my waistcloth up and down over it. I growled in response. I knew that I couldn’t wait any longer, but I wanted to please her. I wanted her ready for me. I moved my fingers from inside of her and pushed them on top of her sweet spot.

  “Oh yes. Right there; don’t stop touching me there,” Reena said. I played with this spot, allowing my finger to move in a circular motion. I felt her tense up as she pushed her face into my chest.

  “I’m going to release,” she whispered.

  “Good,” I whispered back. Then her body convulsed slightly as she moved her hand off of my cock and pressed her fingertips into my sides. She held on as though she was going to lose her balance. I moved my hand from her center and put my hands on her back, holding her up as she whimpered and went limp. I smiled at her. I scooped her up into my arms and laid her on the soft sand. I pushed my face between her thighs and tasted the result of my work. She moaned and wiggled. “I’m so sensitive still,” she said as I slowly licked her.

  “I can tell,” I said as she jerked in small movements as while I slowly let my tongue move up and down her wet slit. But I needed to be inside of her. As much as I enjoyed playing with her and teasing her until she could hardly stand it, I also needed to be inside of her. I was hungry for her and needed to feel her warmth envelope me. I moved from between her thighs and slowly placed soft kisses on her body as I moved upward. I licked and kissed her belly and moved up over the cloth on her breasts. I playfully tugged on it with my teeth. I sat back on my knees and then I pulled off my loincloth and moved on top of her. She opened her shapely thighs for me, and I placed soft kisses on them, moving up her body as I pulled off her loincloth. Then she pulled on the cloth covering her breasts and hoisted it up. Her pink nipples were hard, and I put my mouth on one immediately.

  “Oh Dekario…” she whispered as she pushed her fingers into my hair. I spread out my wings behind me, as I knew how much she enjoyed it when I was shifted into dragon form. She moaned in response. “You are so beautiful. You are such a beautiful and mysterious crea
ture,” she whimpered.

  I loved hearing her words. I was exotic to her, and she was exotic to me. We both turned each other on.

  Then I placed the tip of my cock in her warm center and pushed in. She arched her back in response. I could feel her lips press against my chest as I moved forward. She was delicate and petite underneath me, and I did not want to hurt her. The sand under her was soft, but I was heavy.

  “How does that feel? Does that feel good?” I asked her.

  “Yes, it does. It feels really good. Don’t stop what you are doing,” she whimpered. I noticed her legs began to move higher up my thigh. She was opening herself up to me. I grinned knowing she wanted more and more of me. I moved faster inside of her. The sound of the crashing waves of the ocean only a couple of feet away was filling my ears. The spray of the water was hitting us. It was the perfect way to cool off while I was getting so damn hot.

  “I think it is happening again…” she said.

  “What?” I asked.

  “I am going to release again,” she whimpered. She dug her fingertips into my torso and held on. I moved faster and faster. Then she let out a loud yell. I knew then that she was releasing. I smiled. I reduced my pace and moved my cock inside of her slowly, then out. She wiggled under me as the sensation moved through her. I let a few seconds pass before I once again moved faster and faster inside of her. Then I felt myself coming to the edge. It built up inside of me, and in seconds, I was shouting and releasing. I pressed my body to hers as I allowed the shudders of the orgasm to go through me.

  Moments later I was laying beside her in the sand. We were both winded from the workout. Then I felt a drop land on me, and then another.

  “What is…” Reena began to say.

  But then it suddenly poured, cutting her off. We both laughed as fat drops of rain hit us.

  “The sky was so clear a while ago!” she screamed at me over the pouring rain.

  “Yes, but then we became distracted,” I said to her. “Come on. I will get you back home,” I said picking her up from the sad. We each put on our clothes as best we could in the pouring rain. Seeing her hard nipples sticking out from the cloth made me thankful for the rain. I smiled at her.

  “Let’s go. It’s coming down harder,” she said.

  “Hang on,” I said as I pressed my body against her belly. She put her arms around my neck, and I scooped my hands around her bottom. She wrapped her legs around my waist, and I took off into the pouring rain back to the main island.

  I landed outside her hut and placed her on her feet. The rain was still coming down as she opened the door and we went inside.

  “I’m soaking wet!” she said as she moved over to the table with plenty of clean, dry cloths. She grabbed two and handed one to me as she dried off.

  “I think this storm is going to last well into the night,” I said looking out the window.

  “Yes, it is beautiful though. On Earth, I always get the best sleep during a storm. I like the rain,” she said.

  “Do you miss Earth?” I asked not wanting to hear her answer.

  “Of course. It is my home,” she said.

  The smile faded from my face. She looked at me as though she was regretting what she said and quickly changed the subject. “I need to get out of these wet cloths.” She moved toward the washroom and began to grab cloths to tie around her body.

  “Do you want to be left alone tonight?” I asked her as I leaned against the wall of her hut. She turned to me and looked at me with wide eyes.

  “But what about Commander Triq? What if he comes for me?” she said in a slight panic.

  “He won’t. He left Kelon this morning. He went to Tiok,” I said.

  “Oh, I see. That is good news,” she said.

  “Yes, and no reason for me to guard you anymore. At least not until he returns,” I said.

  “Well yes, but…”

  “But what?”

  “I want you to stay anyway,” she said.

  “I would be delighted,” I said as I moved to her and scooped her into my arms. She giggled. I was ready to go for another round, and another, and another…

  CHAPTER SEVEN

  REENA RHODES

  Ten days passed as I was lost in a web of lust with this alien dragon shifter. I never expected things to go this far, but day after day I wanted him inside of me. I couldn’t control it. I was in awe of him. His telekinesis powers fascinated me and his ability to shift into dragon form impressed me beyond belief.

  I had felt safe again knowing that Commander Triq was gone from Kelon. After the encounter with him, I was afraid to be alone with him on the planet. This relaxation kept me from keeping track of days and time. I just enjoyed the days away with my lover, and when he worked, I spent time with Luka and the few Draqua females of the village. Today was one of those days, as I sat in the communal outdoor kitchens with Luka chopping some fruits that had been picked that morning.

  “Are you alright, Reena? You look a little pale,” she said to me.

  “Pale? I’m getting a tan out here in this sunny paradise,” I said to her.

  “I mean a little out of sorts, like you are sick,” Luka said glancing over at me again and again.

  “Is it that obvious? I have been feeling nauseous off and on yesterday and all day today. I think it might be something I ate. We are eating alien food after all,” I said as a whiff of the fruit I was cutting suddenly hit my face. “Oh god.”

  “What?” Luka asked.

  I quickly got up from the wooden bench and ran away from the table into the lush landscape. I puked.

  “Oh my god, Reena,” Luka said as she quietly came over to me and whispered, “Are you alright? I will get you some water.”

  “Yes, please,” I said as I stayed bent over at the waist and ready for another round to come up. My stomach felt like it was in knots. What the hell was wrong with me? I had not eaten anything new in the last few days. My scientist mind tried to determine a reason for my sickness, but my heart knew I was with child. It had been long enough to know after my first time with Dekario, and even so, I did not know how long it would take to show signs of being with an alien offspring. It could be the very next day for all I knew.

  “Here, rinse your mouth before drinking,” Luka said as she handed me the glass of water. “I need to check your vitals and…” she went off into doctor mode, putting her hand on my wrists and such.

  “Do you feel dizzy?” she asked.

  “No, but I think I know why I’m sick,” I whispered to her as I stood up, feeling the wave of nausea finally pass. She looked at me. She was nodding her head yes as she whispered, “I have been feeling the same way.”

  “So you are…” I asked.

  “I’m pregnant,” she whispered.

  “Oh my god, Luka,” I whispered back. I grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the communal village deeper into the tropical lushness.

  “I figured it out yesterday when I was doing just as you are,” she said to me.

  “And I figured it out yesterday too, but I was denying it to myself. This is insane,” I said to her.

  “I know. Isn’t it wonderful?” she said with a big smile.

  “Wait, who have you been with?” I asked.

  “Kavik,” she said. “I think I love him, Reena,” she said with a happy grin.

  “Luka, you do?” I asked.

  “Yes. I do. I think this is it for me, Reena. I don’t want to go back to Earth. I want to stay here and be with Kavik. I didn’t plan for this, but it has happened,” she said.

  “Does he know that you are pregnant?” I asked her.

  “No, I have not told him. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do until this moment, actually. Saying it out loud feels right though. I want this offspring, and I want Kavik. I want to stay here and be a Draqua. I do miss Earth and everyone I knew there, but this is an incredible adventure. Who thought we would ever find out about other life in the universe, let alone be invited to live peacefully amo
ng them? The astronaut in me thinks it’s the coolest thing ever,” she said laughing.

  I giggled, “I am glad that you are happy, Luka,” I said.

  “And you? What will you do now?” she asked.

  “I have not thought about it. I guess I need to think about it. I guess I could not raise an alien offspring on Earth in secrecy. So I think my choices are limited,” I said, realizing the full extent of what this pregnancy meant.

  “No, I guess not. I am here for you anytime you want to speak of it, but it is your decision alone. But know that I will be telling Kavik and I will be letting the king know that I wish to stay. I think he will grant it since I am with offspring and that is their mission, to mate with human females and create offspring.”
