But what about Nova?
Would she get her happy ending?
Nova heard a noise and looked up to see her husband standing in the doorway, a sensuous smile on his blue-green lips. She marveled that his lips and the palms of his hands were a slightly different shade than the rest of his body, a beautiful blue-green shade that always drew her gaze. Her heart fluttered at his sudden presence and she couldn’t help but feel the first stirrings of arousal. It was just after dinner, but perhaps he intended to call her to bed early.
“It’s ready, little human.”
Too distracted by her thoughts of being bedded by Zylonn, she peered at him in confusion, not quite grasping what he was talking about. “What’s ready?”
“The video comm, and it’s working perfectly. I tested it out by contacting an old Tarkkuan teacher who lives on Earth that I knew as a child. Come, my bride, and you may contact your family. Based on what you’ve told me about them, I am certain they will be overjoyed to hear from you.”
She jumped to her feet and rushed to grasp his large hand. “Oh, thank you, Master.” Tears burned in her eyes and she blinked rapidly to keep from crying, but she knew she would probably burst into tears of happiness the moment she saw her parents and sister.
Zylonn gathered her close and kissed her forehead, then he handed her a clean white cloth. She accepted it and gave him a confused look.
“I figured you would need that while you’re talking to your parents.” He gave her a wry grin, kissed her again, and led her into the library where he’d been working on constructing the interstellar communicator.
“You think of everything, Master,” she replied as they entered the room.
He guided her to sit in a chair at the video comm and asked her about her parents’ full names and their address in New Leesburg. He used this information to connect to the video comm in their home. The screen remained blue with Tarkkuan symbols on it for several minutes. She waited, trying to be patient. Perhaps her parents weren’t home at the moment. Or maybe they were sleeping. Oh no. What if it was nighttime in New Leesburg?
As if reading her thoughts, Zylonn stroked her hair and said, “It’s late afternoon in your dome-city.”
“My parents might still be at work, but Julie usually gets home from school around three. I hope she answers.” Nova held her breath and continued waiting, picturing Julie’s face and chanting her name in her mind, as if she could somehow send a psychic message across the stars to her sister.
“If no one answers now, we’ll keep trying for the rest of the night,” Zylonn said. “In fact, you are welcome to sit here as long as you wish.”
“Thank you, Master.”
“I’m going to get ready for bed, but I will come check on you soon.” He kissed the top of her head and departed the library.
Please answer. Please be home soon Julie.
Mom and Dad, please come home soon too.
Please pick up. I need to see you. I need to talk to you.
She wiped away her tears with the cloth Zylonn had thoughtfully provided her with and kept staring at the screen, praying there was an answer soon. The room dimmed as the sun set and the sconces lining the walls automatically brightened. Nova ran a hand through her hair and straightened her blouse, wanting to look as good as she possibly could when someone finally answered. She didn’t want her family to worry about her. She’d always done her best to protect them from the fallout of her inevitable departure from Earth and she would continue doing so.
Besides, it wasn’t as if she were about to lie to them and promise them she was happy on Tarkkua. When she told them about her life here, she wouldn’t be lying when she claimed it was starting to feel like home.
To her great delight, the blue screen suddenly transformed to an image of Julie sitting at the video comm in their living room.
“Nova?” Julie’s face crumpled. She covered her mouth and her eyes filled with tears.
“Hey, little sis.” Nova dabbed at her own tears and drew in a deep breath. “I’m so happy you answered. I miss you so much.”
“Not as much as I miss you. Oh my God, I can’t believe you’re really contacting us so soon. I worried it might be impossible for you to get access to a video comm, though I didn’t dare voice those thoughts aloud because I didn’t want to upset you.”
“My new husband built this video comm in our library. I’ll be able to talk to you guys whenever I want now.”
“That’s incredible.” Julie straightened in her chair and a look of interest crossed her face. “That’s really kind of your husband. Tell me about him. Does he treat you well?”
“He is a kind Tarkkuan. Much nicer than I expected,” Nova replied, deciding not to mention anything about the punishments she’d endured at his hand. She hoped her family never asked her if it was true that some Tarkkuan males physically disciplined their wives. “His name is Zylonn and I must confess—I like him very, very much.”
Zylonn headed back downstairs, dressed in a pair of black pajamas that he intended to strip off as soon as he went to bed, as he was used to sleeping naked. However, he hadn’t thought it would be appropriate to enter the library unclothed and frighten Nova’s family members. He hoped someone on the other end had answered the video comm.
As he approached the library, he heard voices and his heart warmed with the knowledge that his little human had finally gotten an answer. Then his soul danced with joy when he walked closer and overheard Nova’s next words.
“His name is Zylonn and I must confess—I like him very, very much.”
“Oh, Nova, I’m so happy to hear that. What does he look like?” Judging by the youthful tone of this female voice, Zylonn surmised Nova was speaking to her younger sister Julie.
“He’s big and blue and quite handsome.”
Zylonn cleared his throat to announce his presence and entered the library. Nova glanced back at him with a huge smile and reached out a hand to him.
“In fact, here he is now. Zylonn, I would like to introduce you to my sister, Julie. Julie, meet Zylonn.” The smallest glint of worry flashed in Nova’s eyes as she used Zylonn’s first name, instead of calling him Master. He realized they should have discussed her use of his name in front of her family members beforehand, and he gave her a warm smile in hopes of alleviating her worries before turning his attention to Julie.
“Hello, Zylonn. It’s nice to meet you.”
“Hello, Julie. I am pleased to meet you, too.” He wrapped an arm around Nova and felt her relax at his touch.
“Nova says you built the video comm. That was very kind of you. Thank you so much. It’ll be wonderful to be able to talk to her on a daily basis. I thought I was losing my sister, only to be able to send handwritten letters once a year, but now we can truly remain part of one another’s lives.” Julie wiped away her tears and laughed. “Ah, sorry. I always cry when I’m really happy.”
Nova giggled and wiped at her own tears with the white cloth. “It must run in the family, because I can’t stop crying either. Any idea when Mom and Dad will be home?”
“They should be here any minute.”
“My parents both work in the same factory,” Nova explained to Zylonn. “They always walk home together.”
Zylonn left Nova for a moment to pull up a chair next to hers. He sat down in it and wrapped an arm around his sweet bride once again. “We’ll wait for as long as it takes for their return.”
“Is it late where you are?” Julie asked.
“Yes, but that’s okay. There are twenty-six hours in a Tarkkuan day, so we’ll be on a constant rotation of weird times compared to Earth. But we’ll figure out good times to talk to one another.”
“I don’t care what time it is in New Leesburg when you call, sis. I’ll always answer.” Julie glanced away from the video comm and called out. “Hey, Mom and Dad! Come quick!”
What followed next was a joyous reunion. There were so many voices speaking at once that for a while Zylonn had a difficult time following the
conversation, even though he considered himself fluent in English, as well as several other Earth languages. Finally, once the conversation slowed down somewhat, he was able to fully understand what was being said.
“I am pleased to make your acquaintance, Zylonn,” Nova’s father said in an overly formal tone. Though he was smiling, Zylonn noticed a suspicious gleam in his eyes whenever he looked at him. No doubt he was worried over the well-being of his daughter.
“I am pleased to meet you as well, Robert,” Zylonn finally replied. “Your daughter is a fine female.”
Both Nova’s parents gave him a strange look and he wondered what was wrong with his statement. But he didn’t intend to apologize for it, even though he thought he’d paid Nova a compliment. He reminded himself that all humans were at the mercy of the Tarkkuans and Nova now belonged to him by law. Even if her parents disapproved of him, it was not as if they could travel to Tarkkua and rescue her.
“So what’s been going on since I left Earth?” Nova asked, moving her hand into his lap to squeeze his hand, out of the video comm’s view. Zylonn appreciated her rapid ability to change the subject, for her parents started to look more comfortable and her father stopped giving him suspicious looks.
“Sara and Heath got married last Saturday,” Julie said. “We all went to their wedding.”
“That’s right. I knew that was coming up soon,” Nova said before whispering to Zylonn, “Sara lived down the street from us in the dome-city. She’s my age. We grew up playing together.”
Zylonn nodded at her in appreciation, thankful that she was trying to include him in the conversation. However, he realized that perhaps it would be best if Nova had a chance to speak with her family while he wasn’t in the room. No doubt her family felt guarded about what they could say around him. He couldn’t blame them, as he realized he was a complete stranger to them.
He rose from his seat, still holding his little human’s hand. “I’m going to retire for the night, Nova, however please feel free to stay and speak with your family for as long as you wish.” He turned his attention to the screen. “It was nice meeting you, Robert, Anna, and Julie. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight,” the three of them said.
He gave Nova’s hand a quick squeeze before departing the library. Though he longed to hear the rest of her conversation with her family—in particular, he wished to know what she would say about him—he did not feel right eavesdropping, so he ascended the stairs and went to bed.
Nova joined him sooner than he expected she would. She entered the darkened room and went into the adjoining bathroom for several minutes, then she slipped under the covers next to him, completely naked. She snuggled up to his side and kissed him on the cheek.
“Thank you, Master. For everything.”
He gathered her in his arms and stroked her hair until she drifted to sleep, his entire being resonating with affection for the sweet little human nestled next to him.
Chapter 13
Several nights had passed since Nova had first contacted her family. She’d spoken with them every day since then, as well as Maggie and a few other friends. She was glad to have reconnected with all those she’d left behind and doing so had brought her much closer to Zylonn, for he’d given her the greatest gift imaginable.
Her husband’s thoughtfulness had served to further open the lines of communication between then, and in the days since he’d finished building the video comm, they had shared more about their former lives with one another. Every day, more and more, she found she truly enjoyed talking to him and learning about his past.
He also always kept her up to date about the news of Ashorr and the other large cities on Tarkkua, for which she was grateful. Most of the news was always positive, as the crime rate on his planet was extremely low. She’d originally worried his planet wouldn’t be the safest place since the cities weren’t enclosed in domes, but she was glad she’d been wrong about that. However, he did warn her that she was never to walk in the forest by herself, as there were large predatory animals that might harm her. She had no intention of disobeying this rule of his, as the very idea of coming face to face with an alien forest beast made her blood run cold.
Sometimes Zylonn even surprised her with little gifts he picked up in the marketplace on his way home from work, which always touched her. Just yesterday he’d brought her a soft blue scarf home that he’d said reminded him of her beautiful blue eyes. She smiled briefly at the recollection.
However, despite their newfound closeness, she was starting to worry she’d recently done something wrong. At the moment, she stood in the bedroom naked, per her master’s instructions, as she awaited his arrival upstairs. Despite believing she hadn’t disobeyed him in any way recently, she couldn’t help the nervous flutters that rose in her tummy. After dinner this evening, he had instructed her to go to their bedroom, strip off all her clothes, and wait for him in a no-nonsense tone.
Though it wasn’t the first time he’d ordered her to do such a thing, this time felt different. A dark gleam she’d never seen before had entered his eyes and his voice had sounded deeper than usual. The aura of dominance that always surrounded him had felt more pronounced, leaving her wondering if perhaps she’d unknowingly broken one of his rules.
When his footsteps sounded on the stairs, her stomach did a little flip. She stood taller, which caused her legs to press together harder and made her ever aware of the ache in her pussy. Despite her worry that she had a spanking coming—or worse, perhaps a strapping—she couldn’t help the heat that was gathering between her thighs.
Zylonn appeared in the doorway and his strong presence immediately filled the room. She gulped hard and met his dark, glimmering gaze. The sun had already set and the only light in the bedroom came from the numerous sconces lining the walls. His dark blue skin looked so beautiful during the nighttime hours, she mused, when the illumination from the sconces danced across his muscular body with his every little movement.
Her breath caught in her throat as he entered the bedroom and strode directly for her. She noticed he was holding a small box in his hand and wondered what it contained.
“You’re nervous, little human,” he said, placing a finger beneath her chin. He forced her face higher and peered down at her, capturing her gaze in his. “Why are you nervous?”
“I-I’m worried you’re going to punish me, Master.” She paused for moment. “Are you going to take the strap to me?”
“That depends on how obedient you are tonight in the bedroom.”
“I’m always obedient in the bedroom,” she said, and it was true. She never spurned his advances and she was always quick to comply with his demands, no matter how much they sometimes shamed her—like when he commanded her to bend over the bed and pull her bottom cheeks apart.
“I know you are, and your submission always pleases me. But tonight, we’re going to try something new, something I suspect will make you a very nervous little human.”
“What-what are we going to try?”
“Anal training.”
Her breath left her in a rush and she tried to step back, but he kept grasping her chin and wouldn’t allow her the movement.
He continued holding her gaze. “Eventually, I plan to claim your bottom hole with my cock, however that part of you isn’t yet ready to accept my size. That is why you require training.” He released her chin and opened the box, revealing the contents to her.
“What is that?” she asked, but she already knew the answer. It was an anal plug and he meant to insert it into her bottom. Her cheeks involuntarily clenched and she resisted the urge to reach around and shield her behind.
“I think you know what this is, little human.” He pulled the plug from the box and held it up in front of her face. “However, I will explain, just in case. This is an anal plug that will increase and decrease in size. This is how it looks in its smallest form, but when I press the buttons on the base of it, like this,” he said, pressing one of the buttons, “i
t will become larger.”
The plug increased in size before her very eyes and it took all her self-control not to step away from him. She didn’t want him to put the plug in her ass, but she also didn’t want a spanking or a strapping.
His cock. He eventually plans to put his huge cock in my bottom hole.
Her heart skipped a beat. How long would her training last before she was able to accommodate his huge size in her most private place?
“Go bend over the bed and pull your cheeks apart, Nova,” he said in a commanding tone. “Failure to comply at once will result in a painful strapping on your bare bottom.”
Though her legs felt weakened with nerves, she somehow managed to rush to the bed and bend over it. Anxious to avoid a strapping, she immediately reached around and spread her cheeks wide apart, knowing the wider she spread herself, the more satisfied her master would be.
“Good girl.”
She heard him getting something out of a dresser drawer but didn’t dare turn around and look. She pressed her eyes shut and concentrated on holding the embarrassing position. Even though he’d ordered her to assume this very position many times in the past, she couldn’t quite get used to it. She was always filled with shame as she displayed her privates to him in such a manner, and her shame always deepened the harder her pussy throbbed and the more moisture she felt trickling down her inner thighs.
“Your smooth pink folds are all swollen and wet, little human,” Zylonn said, standing behind her and reaching for her throbbing core. He stroked his thick digits through her wetness and she soon felt something odd on her bottom hole. She jerked forward slightly, but he held her in place and continued pouring something cool onto her back entrance. Lubrication, she realized, with a quickening of her pulse.
He removed his hand from her lower back, ordered her to stay in place this time, and commenced massaging the lube around her bottom hole. All the while, he kept stroking her pussy with his other hand, and the sensations building in her center were enough to draw a moan from her. She buried her face in the covers. She was wet, throbbing, and spread wide open to her master’s gaze while he touched her most private places and prepared to insert a plug into her tightest hole.
