In the eating area, or Galley as Eon had referred to it, she noted Anna sitting beside Kylan and her eyes sought Serenity’s as if asking what was going on. Serenity shrugged, before sitting beside Anna. She clasped Anna’s hand, waiting for the bad news. Her stomach in knots, Eon began, “Anna, I’m not really sure what Kylan has told you, so I am going based on what I told Serenity. As you know, Kylan and I chose you to be our mates, and though we need females to continue our race, we will not force you to choose us. I told Serenity that she had two days to choose whether you would come with us to Salin and be our mates or we would return you to your lives. The time has come. We need to know. We have received word from our council and they are expecting us in approximately three months’ time. We must leave within the next few hours to make that deadline.”
Serenity let out a sigh of relief, her sense of dread melting away. Anna looked at her confused before looking at Kylan and stating, “I thought we were already mates?”
Kylan came over and pulled Anna into his embrace, whispering into her ear words only she could hear. Serenity looked up at Eon, nearly laughing at his face. She crooked her finger at him and he came to her, his eyes pleading her to stay. She smiled at him, before stating, “I don’t know if I could live without you and I really don’t want to find out.”
Eon grabbed her around her waist, pulling her to him. She instinctively placed her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck as she met his kiss. He was unleashed, taking her mouth, not waiting for her acceptance or denial. Her mind shut down in a fog of need so acute her stomach clenched, a moan passing her lips only to be devoured by Eon. He broke from the kiss, a fire burning in his eyes, begging for an answer. She slowly nodded her assent and the answering growl in his throat excited her. Wiggling to get closer to his hardness, she gasped at the sharp pleasure that went through her at the small contact between their clothes. He turned abruptly and headed for his room. Her heart sped up in anticipation and fear. He laid her gently on the bed, removing his shirt. She stared up at his smooth red chest, his muscles flexing with each movement. His hand grasped the edge of her shirt, peeling it slowly from her body. The air touched her skin causing gooseflesh to raise, her breathing becoming labored. He looked down at her, and she instinctively went to cover herself, remembering her less than perfect body.
Eon grasped her hands and pinned them to the bed above her head, as he slowly pulled her bra off, her breast spilling into his gaze. He groaned, using his free hand to cup her bountiful breasts, overfilling each hand. He teased her nipples with his thumb, watching as her nipples tightened with the small stimulation. He looked up into her beautiful face, her cheeks pink. Her eyes clouded with lust. She looked beautiful. He leaned down and nipped her ear lobe before stating, “Mine.”
He kissed and nipped the skin behind her ear and taking the path down the curve of her neck. His tongue bathing the sting away to the hollow of her neck, where he spent extra time lapping at her pulse, beating a fast, and steady rhythm. She wiggled in his embrace, moaning in abandon. Her hips rising to meet the hardness pressed between her legs. He was driving her wild and she needed him to press harder into her, to quench that ache deep inside.
His leisurely stroll ended at her breasts where he blew a breath on one engorged nipple, then the other, finally taking one in his mouth suckling strongly. Her body lifted from the mattress, her voice echoing in the room. She began writhing, her voice pleading with him, whether to stop or never stop she didn’t know. A sharp edge of pleasure that bordered pain shocked the breath from her with his small bite to her nipple. He released her arms as he unfastened her pants, pulling them down her hips. She was too far gone to care if he seen her naked. She needed him. Her hips undulating of their own accord were enticing him to take her and ease their need.
He kissed her hip, his hand traveling down her rounded abdomen to come to the juncture of her thighs. Her curls glistened with her arousal, her hips undulating. He breathed deeply of her scent. Need shot through his loins. He closed his eyes taking a deep breath before spreading the lips of her pussy. Her pink flesh was soaked and swollen with need. His tongue took a small foray around the little ball of nerves behind its hood, her hips jack knifing off the bed, her cry of pleasure causing him to chuckle. Her hands threaded into his hair, her thighs holding him prisoner. He grasped her hips and pushed her to the bed, firmly but gently before continuing his oral assault. When he sensed her close to the precipice, he pulled back. She tugged at his head, her thighs tightening as she wailed, “No, Nooooo! Please, please, please…”
He grasped her hands and pushed them above her head once more, taking her mouth. She gasped at the flavor of her mixed with Eon. It made her want more. She protested when he left her, her arms reaching for him. He made quick work of his pants. She took in his nakedness, the first glimpse of his package made her swallow, some of her need taking a backseat to fear. It was huge. She looked up into his eyes, the fire made her melt with need. “Eon,” she whispered, “I think you should know, I’ve never done this before. I’m really not sure that you will fit.” She finished. He crawled upon her again, chest to chest, his hand clasping her face forcing her to look at him, before he began, “I’ll fit, little one, and I’ll be gentle. Don’t worry.” Kissing her again he thrust his cock through her juices, teasing her clit.
He lodged the head into her entrance, slowly pushing forward into Serenity’s tight sheath. Serenity gasped at the feeling of being stretched. The slight burn was slightly uncomfortable, but not enough to cool her ardor. They moaned in unison when he was fully seated within her, his lips teasing hers a few times before, he lifted his eyes to her gaze. She needed him to move, to do something, to quench the ache that had built to an inferno that wouldn’t be denied. His stolen kisses, his butterfly touches and those sultry looks she had been subjected to the past two days were expecting a conclusion, one she couldn’t ignore. She wrapped her legs around his waist, her heels digging into his buttocks, lifting herself up to grind against him. He groaned as he finally began to move, thrusting slowly at first with her hips rising to meet his every thrust. She leaned up and nipped at the muscle between his neck and shoulder, lapping the sting away with his tongue. He groaned, his control slipping. His thrusts became more forceful, quicker. Her head fell back, his lips finding her throat, kissing and licking as he plunged in and out. In and out.
Her velvet glove began to ripple, squeezing his cock, signaling her pending fulfillment. He reached between them and circled her clit, once, twice and on the third she jerked and shattered in his arms. Her eyes widened in surprise and a low keening sound escaping her lips. He pistoned three more times, his balls drawing up and a tingle at the base of his spine signaled his impending orgasm. He jerked within her, bathing her channel in his seed, gasping her name as he collapsed on his arms preventing himself from crushing her. He kissed her on the lips before rolling to the side and gathering her in his arms splaying her across his chest.
She lay across his chest, allowing her breathing to even out and her heart rate to return to normal. She balanced on her arms and looked into his eyes and said, “You did fit.” He stared at her for a few seconds before laughing out loud at her wide eyed expression. She smiled at his laughter and kissed him on the cheek before whispering in his ear, “Can we do it again?” His cock rose between them and her laughter was cut short when he showed her that they indeed could do it again and again.
Chapter 9
The first couple of month’s journey to Salin was uneventful. Although it did give Serenity and Eon ample time to get to know each other better. Serenity sit in the galley with Anna eating breakfast with a smile plastered on her face. She hadn’t realized there were so many places once could make love. Against the wall in the hallway. While taking a shower. In the bed or against the door to the bedroom. She sighed in contentment, looking over at Anna who was smirking at her. “What?” she said between bites.
Anna chuckled and pointed her silverware at Seren
ity before saying, “You are so much happier. I never realized how unhappy you were. I’m sorry I didn’t really pay attention to how unhappy you were back home. I feel kind of guilty.”
“Well, honestly, I wasn’t unhappy, just lonely. I always felt as if something were missing, a piece that I once had but lost. I didn’t tell you but, I used to dream of Eon. Not as he is now, but when he was a child. We played together. I didn’t realize it was him at first and that explains why I didn’t freak out when I met him. On some level I knew who he was. Don’t feel guilty, Anna. I believe if things had of happened differently and I had fallen in love with someone back home and married, I still would have felt as if a part of me was missing. So, how are things between you and Kylan?”
Anna squeezed her hand and leaned back into her chair with a smile, “You know, I feel like I’ve known him forever, but I know that is just silly. He still hasn’t told me that he loves me, though. Sometimes I wonder if I am just a means to an end.”
“What do you mean, a means to an end?” Serenity asked.
“Well, think about it, if what they say is the absolute truth, then there isn’t anyone else for Kylan to choose, or Eon for that matter, and maybe they just chose us in a fit of desperation. I mean, I really care for Kylan, a lot. I’ve even broken my sex before marriage rule because I love him, but what if he only sees me as a way to have babies? He really doesn’t treat me as an object, he acts as if he cares, but what if.” She finished with her voice breaking.
Serenity moved to sit beside Anna and wrapped her in a hug, “Anna Banana, I’ve seen how he looks at you, and how he tracks you even across the room. You should hear how he says your name when he asks me where you are. He may not have said the words, but I’m pretty sure he loves you. And, Anna, how do you know by his cultural standards you aren’t already married?”
Anna chuckled through the tears that had started falling down her cheek. Serenity, looked up to see Eon and Kylan walked through the door. Kylan rushed to Anna’s side and pulled her onto his lap and began to comfort her. Serenity smiled as she walked to Eon, taking him by the hand and leading him into the Bridge.
“What was wrong with Anna?” Eon asked when they were alone.
She turned and stared up at him, linking their hands together, relishing his touch and scent. “It’s just that she feels guilty.” Serenity answered.
“Guilty for what?” Eon asked puzzled.
“Well, Anna believes that you aren’t supposed to have sex before marriage and apparently she has with Kylan. She was scared that he didn’t love her and that she had made a mistake. I told her that maybe she should think for a minute because we don’t really know your marriage ceremony and that possibly it had already been performed. So, what is your marriage ceremony like?”
Eon looked at her for a second as if working out a puzzle, before stating, “You mean, marriage as in mating?”
Serenity thought for a second before replying, “Maybe.”
Eon then described mating in their culture which was the same as marriage on Earth, but there was no dissolution, it was for life. Serenity nodded at his description and said, “The only difference is our marriages can be dissolved for one or more reasons, whereas yours are for life. What do you do to commemorate a mating commitment?”
Eon smiled and nibbled on her jaw, before stating, “Remember before I took you the first time, and I said Mine.”
She nodded leaning her head to the side to grant him better access.
“We were mated for life in that moment. I declared that you were mine and you accepted when you allowed me into your body.” Eon said.
“So, Kylan and Anna are mated?” Serenity asked, gasping at the end when Eon laved the pulse at the base of her neck.
“Yes, little one.”
“Well, how does that work when you have sex with other females before finding the one that you want to commit to?”
“I didn’t call them mine, because they weren’t mine and I wasn’t theirs.”
“And we are mated?”
“Yes, little one. Should I remind you of how it happened?”
She smiled at him, then pulled his lips down to hers. She kissed the corners of his mouth before licking at his lips. He growled and pulled her flush against him, one hand holding her rear and pushing it into his erection, the other clasping the back of her head, tilting her head for the best angle to plunder her mouth.
Moaning she reluctantly pushed against his chest, breaking his kiss. He reached for her, but she stepped out of her reach. Backing up to the bench like seat on the wall she crooked her finger at him. He followed her to the bench. She took his hands and placed his back to the bench. She pushed him backwards indicating she wanted him to sit. She knelt in front of him pulling his shirt up, he took it off as her hands started to smooth over his chest. She moistened her lips at the feast before her. Her light touches driving him out of his mind. She licked as his nipples, smiling at his gasp of pleasure. Her hands went to his pants, and he lifted his hips to help her ease them down. His erection sprang free, already oozing pre-cum from the slit. She bit her lip and looked up at him, his eyes looked like black pools, the pupils taking up his entire iris.
She took a deep breath, then grasping the base of his cock, she extended her tongue to take her first taste. A salty, sweetness exploded on her taste buds and she was delighted to find a faint trace of his own flavor. Emboldened by the way his hands had found her head and tightened into her hair, she took the head into her mouth and gently flicked her tongue to its underside. She was rewarded with another bit of flavor. She smiled, then applied a slight suction. He groaned, his fingers tightening in her hair to the point of pain, but she was amazed to realize how much it excited her. She slowly tried to take as much as she could into her mouth while keeping a small suction. He became more and more aggressive with each bob of her head, reaching up she fondled his balls between her fingers.
She was driving him crazy. The pleasure was all encompassing as her hot mouth enveloped his cock into a cave of warmth and pleasure. When she reached up to fondle his balls he almost lost it. He was worried he was hurting her with his death grip on her hair, but it seemed to excite her more. She pulled back abruptly with one last swipe of her tongue to his slit. He groaned at the loss. She pulled her pants off, throwing them to the side, the scent of her arousal swamped his senses, her dew glistening on her curls. She took her shirt off, then straddled his lap, easing over his shaft, stopping with the head lodged within her entrance. Every molecule of him screamed at him to take her, but her hand on his face stopped him. She brought his face to hers, her smile capturing his soul. She leaned forward and whispered into his ear, “Mine.”
He kissed her gently showing all of the emotion he felt for her. Releasing her lips, he looked into her eyes and whispered back, “Mine.” She took him inch by slow inch, her wet heat enveloping him into paradise. She rode him slowly at first, her breaths coming fast. When she groaned in frustration, he chuckled and held her to him as he took her to the floor, thrusting into her the way she craved, she moaned. Her cries in his ears, he let himself go, thrusting faster and harder. She wrapped her legs around his waist, holding onto him. His cock hitting that special place within her, she whimpered at the start of her orgasm, her stomach bunching at the intensity of it. She screamed at the pinnacle and faintly felt his seed jetting into her womb as he found his completion, her vision showing stars behind her eyelids.
He held himself up looking down at her, and she opened her eyes to his gaze, with a small smile. He nuzzled her neck as he pulled himself from her, she moaned her protest when his cock glided over her sensitive tissues. He picked her up and carried her to their room. She snuggled under his chin holding him close as she whispered to him, in that state between sleep and wakefulness, “I love you.” He kissed her temple and repeated it to her, his heart full of love for the other half of his soul.
Serenity woke a couple hours later to Eon’s gaze. She smiled up at him then an id
ea hit her, “Eon, you’re like captain of this ship right?” she asked.
He nodded his assent and she laughed as she sat up and hugged him. “I have an idea! This will make Anna so happy and it will be legit because you are a captain of a ship, and well we may not have the wide blue ocean, but we do have the endless expanse of space.” She jumped up and began dressing, then looked back at him. “I need to speak with you and Kylan, so come on, we gotta keep Anna busy so I can work on her surprise!”
Chapter 10
Serenity was so excited. It had taken two weeks, but she finally had everything planned. She thanked her high school guidance counselor for screwing her schedule up in 11 and 12 grade and placing her in that clothing construction class. She also thanked her lucky stars that she was essentially a pack rat and had her old sewing kit in with some of the junk that Eon had taken from her apartment. Those skills came in really handy using the materials she had available to her to decorated and make Anna a dress. It did require her to sacrifice Eon’s bed sheet, but that was okay, at least he seemed okay with losing it. She had allotted the room they had awoken in to be the room for her surprise, because first it was white and empty and second Anna never went near it. She had decorated it with paper flowers she had made from some of her old notebooks. She had coached Kylan and Eon in how the ceremony went.
Serenity entered the galley to find Anna cleaning the table. Kylan was watching her intently waiting for Serenity’s signal. She nodded at him when he looked up at her. He walked to Anna and turned her around to face him, holding her hands he dropped to his knees and looked up into her eyes, “Anna, my mate. I love you more than life itself. I waited my whole life to know you, so, Anna, Will you marry me?”
