Blaire had seen little of Arthexei on the first landing and this time around she looked forward to a far different scenario since they would land as a simple courier ship rather than the Jatra warrior vessel. Knowing Kezon would stick by her side eased Blaire’s mind as she sheltered the box containing the nanobots and virus inside her belt bag. It would end the cyborg army and enable the Jatra military to come in and arrest all those responsible for making trouble in the Vada System.
Dust rose from the ground as the Gamma Tracker lifted back off the surface after dropping off the two of them. It would soon bring back more warriors to help them see that the mission was a success. Until then, Kezon kept his watchful eyes on Blaire as they entered the marketplace. Blaire wore a long breezy tunic that mimicked what the Aulius females wore, so she’d blended in very well with the others found there. Until the Tracker came back, they had time on their hands to explore the marketplace as well as the surrounding area.
Kezon bought a hovercraft and helped Blaire inside. They headed into a dense patch of forest that had hidden him and Uza from the enemy when they had fled from their drone. This time, they were less likely to notice them because both Kezon and Blaire were disguised. Blaire took in the landscape wide-eyed as Kezon pointed out the direction of the cyborg factory. She breathed a sigh of relief when they turned in the opposite direction. Kezon had promised that they would simply be tourists of the planet for an hour or so while the Tracker brought the others they would need to help guarantee the success of their mission.
Kezon parked the hovercraft and helped Blaire step out. A roaring sound nearby startled her.
“Relax; it’s beautiful,” he said as he led the way on foot toward the sound.
Once out of the trees, a beautiful waterfall appeared before them, the water a faint red against the backdrop of the deep green stones. “Oh, it’s so breathtaking,” she said as they made their way to it. “Why is the water red?”
“It’s the plant life that gives it that color,” he replied. Arthexei has deep indigos and greens, but underneath it all there is red moss, much like the green moss on Earth.” Kezon proudly smiled as he explained something biological that Blaire didn’t know.
The golden orange sun peeked overhead through the dense silvered clouds, casting a strange orange glow over the indigo and deep greens of the leaves in the forest. Patches of red moss grew in great mounds near the falls. Blaire knelt down, running her hands over the velvety softness of the simple plantlife. “Amazing. It’s so soft and cushy. This would make a comfortable bed,” she mused.
Kezon chuckled as he settled beside her, running his hands over the moss. Glancing over, Blaire smiled into his face as he leaned in, no longer able to hold back. She fell into his arms as she lifted her chin, meeting with his lips in a fiery kiss that ignited a passion so deep within that it surprised her. Kezon’s arms encircled Blaire, drawing her close as her hands drifted under his warrior tunic, under the disguise, to where her fingers sought the warmth of his uxormea. The alien warrior removed his clothing as her fingers traced the contour of the pattern glowing on his chest.
“I’m not sure if I can commit to you like you want me to,” she said as her hands moved ever downward, feeling the defined ripples of his muscles.
“It’s okay. I’m patient,” Kezon said as he lifted Blaire’s disguise from her body before she helped him remove the uniform underneath.
Never had Blaire felt such passion as Kezon kissed her body, starting at her neck and working his way to her breasts. She groaned as she pulled him close to her while his hands removed her pants. He smiled at her naked body. Blaire pulled hard on his loops to release his pants. She gasped in wonder at his phallus that stood out longer than that of any human she’d ever seen. Swallowing hard, the young woman reached out and touched it, eliciting a groan from the Hjott male so deep that she wondered if she had imagined it. As her hand grazed the top of his massive cock, it swelled and vibrated. Her eyes grew wide as she looked up at him, and he chuckled.
“It’s my anatomy. I assume it differs from Terran males? It’s our way of stimulating the Hjott females to ovulate so that we can procreate.”
Blaire wondered if conception between a human and a Hjott was even possible, and at the moment, she really didn’t care. She just wanted him as she pulled him to her. She wanted to feel his massive body next to hers. Kezon groaned as his hands drifted between her legs, running his fingers through her soft warm folds. Instantly, Blaire’s back arched at the sudden attention. It had been so long since she had felt any release and he had a way with his fingers that drove her wild. Blaire began to grind hips into the soft moss beneath her as he brought her to orgasm, his face hovering just over hers, watching with wonder as she came hard. The juices between her legs flowed as Kezon growled, his phallus growing even harder and longer. He pulled Blaire underneath his body, no longer able to hold back. She knew the act would claim her as his but she didn’t care; the Terran woman wanted it as badly as he did.
Blaire’s legs parted as his massive frame settled between her knees. He hoisted her pelvis until she could wrap her legs around his waist. So great was he that her feet didn’t meet at his back. Clinging to him, she gave him access as he prodded through her folds, his great head piercing through and filling her, stretching her beyond what she could have ever imagined. Kezon groaned as he thrust into her, his cock growing longer and greater in girth. Blaire’s body reacted as the second orgasm built up inside her pelvis. When his cock vibrated, she nearly blacked out from the sudden rush of pleasure that hit her body. The scientist shook violently as she had a second orgasm. Blaire gasped for breath and clawed at her lover while he wildly pumped into her, his cock building and growing as it vibrated even faster. Soon Kezon’s cock flooded Blaire’s womb with his seed, thereby claiming the Terran female as his own.
Once finished, Kezon carefully laid Blaire down on the moss and rolled to the side of her, his massive body pulling her close. She turned to him, inhaling his raw scent as it drove her wild. The desire to be with him again flooded her, so much so that she swooned under the euphoria of it as his lips came down on hers and their kiss sparked a new round of passion. Being Hjott meant that he could immediately go again, and this time he rolled her on top of him as he swelled with excitement. Blaire lost herself as she hovered over him, fully engulfing him within her tight wetness. This time she had the pleasure of controlling the pace of their lovemaking as she rocked her hips to allow his vibrating cock to satisfy her for a third time. Kezon helped her move as he came for the second time, blasting her again with his seed. His uxormea continued to glow so brightly that Blaire thought it might blind her.
Never had she felt so satisfied as she did lying in his arms and basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking. Never could she have imagined that she’d fall in love with an alien such as Kezon. Blaire never thought herself as one to be claimed, let along claimed twice in one day by an alien. They spent the rest of the afternoon on the red moss under the Arthexei sun declaring their love through their bodies. It was better than anything Blaire had experienced on Earth. However, she had yet to utter the words of love to him and believed that the giving of herself to him would suffice for now. Hjotts were physical beings and often showed rather than told of their affections. That much she had read about his kind.
Chapter 18
Blaire
Kezon’s uxormea glowed brighter than ever before. Claiming his mate gave him an entirely new perspective as they walked back to the hovercraft to head back to the marketplace. Uza sent a message on his comm that said they had spotted a cyborg that might be easy to capture. He glanced over at Blaire who sat beside him in the hovercraft. Her face was aglow with a satisfied smile, which was something that he'd never seen before with her. Kezon couldn't stop the smile on his face as he reached over and took her hand; her frail human hand which looked so tiny compared to his large six-fingered hand. Blaire glanced down and noticed the difference as well.
"I'm
not sure that I'll ever get used to the fact that you have six fingers and I have five," she said. The lighthearted tone in her voice caused her lover to chuckle.
"There are differences between us, but not so many that we can't be together," he replied.
When they reached the marketplace, Kezon parked the craft and walked along with Blaire to meet the crew near where they had spotted a cyborg. They turned the corner and saw a group of Terud rebels. Blaire sucked in a breath as her eyes widened. Kezon quickly grabbed her arm as they rushed ahead to duck into a building. They crouched down along the hallways and moved quickly as they hid in the shadows.
"What if they catch us?" Blaire whispered to the Hjott commander.
"I don't intend for the likes of them to capture us today," Kezon answered her. They walked along until they found a room in the abandoned building that was filled with dusty crates. They crouched behind a stack of them and Kezon placed his finger over his mouth. The rebels walked along the hallways nearby. He wasn't certain that they had seen them, but the rebels appeared to be looking for something. The door of the room they were hiding in opened, but the Terud standing in the doorway did not enter the room. In their Terud dialect, he told the others that there was nothing to see there.
After the rebel soldier left, Uza beeped in on the comm. Kezon lowered himself and turned his back to the door while speaking quietly. "Go ahead.”
"We have a position on the cyborg off the main throughway at the end of the market. It is two clicks from the throughway heading towards the setting sun," Uza reported.
“We aren't able to leave this building at the moment, I’m afraid. It’s crawling with Teruds,” Kezon informed his underling.
"Aye, Commander. Make your way back to the Tracker and meet us there when you are able to do so. The crew and I will capture the cyborg and have it here when you return," Uza advised.
Kezon closed his comm and listened for the sounds of footsteps in the hallway. Hearing nothing, he stood from their hiding place. He placed his finger over his lips as he helped Blaire to her feet and they stole away from the dusty room to make their way to a flight of stairs. Outside the building, the Teruds were undoubtedly patrolling the streets nearby. Kezon led Blaire up the stairs toward what appeared to be several abandoned apartments. They went inside one one of them and he secured the door behind them. The small living quarters had several pieces of crude furniture that was for the likes of those living on Arthexei.
Kezon peered out the window to the street below where the Teruds were milling around and talking to each other. "We must stay here for a while," he told his companion.
Blaire trembled as he pulled her close to him. She lifted her chin and gazed into Kezon’s brilliant eyes. "What if, after what has happened, what if we are separated or even worse," she worried.
"That's why we're staying right here for the time being. They have already searched this building. I heard the one rebel tell the others that it was all clear. So, we should wait here until they clear out from the streets below," Kezon replied.
Blaire worriedly looked out the window, her face skewed in fear. She trembled as she placed herself beside Kezon on a makeshift bench. He pulled her toward him. The Hjott warrior could feel her body quiver with worry.
"It's alright, Blaire; I won't let anything happen to you," he promised.
She thought for a moment and shook her head as she turned her teary eyes towards him. "You don't understand, Kezon. While on Earth I only ever worked in a laboratory. I never faced a situation where death was a possibility as it is now. I never had aliens that wanted to see me dead, especially none like these nasty Teruds outside. I was always safe in my laboratory or apartment. This is all so new to me, and now I have something else that I fear far greater than losing my own life," she told Kezon as she looked up into his face.
His brow furrowed as he looked back at her. "Now that I've claimed you as my mate, I will give my life to protect you, Blaire. No harm will come to you.”
Blaire shut her eyes. A single tear fell from her face, trailing down and dropping off onto the dirty floor below. She slowly shook her head as she opened her eyes and looked at him. "Kezon, you don't understand. My greatest fear now is not that I could lose my life. My greatest fear now is of losing you.”
The words struck Kezon's heart like a piercing arrow that had struck straight through his armor. His uxormea glowed brighter than ever, Blaire’s words carrying such weight that it settled over him like hot, thick Cron. The alien warrior’s feelings for his mate were exactly the same as hers for him. Kezon would do anything to keep harm from happening to her and he could not imagine life without her. Blaire had become the center of his universe and he would move the entire planet or blow it up to save her.
Her eyes connected to his, so sincere and honest in what she felt him. Fresh tears brimmed and threatened to fall, but didn’t. “Kezon, humans don’t talk about being claimed or mating. For us, the most sincere and pure emotion we could feel toward another being is love. At it’s purest, it means the same thing as your claiming a mate, I believe. What I’m trying to say is that I love you. I know it now. I feel it. Every fiber of my body wants nothing more in the universe than to spend the rest of my days by your side. I don’t know how that will work, but I know that I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen,” Blaire told him.
Kezon sucked in a shaky breath. Of all the words ever spoken, the ones Blaire uttered now caused his heart to thump wildly as his uxormea to glow brightly. He’d heard Kedun say it to Aryn. “Blaire, I love you,” he replied. He also feared that she was merely speaking in the moment and once out of danger might rethink her position and want to go back to Earth.
Blaire smiled, her body relaxed. She eyed another room in the apartment's interior. “A washroom?”
“Even aliens need a shower,” Kezon observed, suddenly feeling more light-hearted. He stood and pulled her to him before they walked to the washroom.
Blaire lifted a brow as she pulled off her clothing in front of the Hjott commander. He followed her lead and also removed his clothing as she started the shower.
“Oh, it’s rather cool,” she complained.
Kezon chuckled as he stepped inside and pulled Blaire to him under the streaming water. They slowly washed the grime of the day from their bodies, his hands roaming over her soft curves. He groaned as she touched his cock, which then quickly extended before them. Blaire shivered as the water grew more tepid. After turning it off, she pulled Kezon to the bench again without putting any of her clothes on or drying off. They were dripping wet. Kneeling before him, Blaire leaned in between his great knees. He groaned deeply as her lips slid over his phallic head, causing it to swell and vibrate. The Terran woman’s small mouth sucked it in, pulling all of the engorged member to the back of her throat. She moaned as her hand slowly moved up and down his shaft. Kezon couldn’t control himself as pleasure flooded to the tip of his alien cock. After holding back as long as he could, he suddenly lurched forward and blasted his seed into the back of Blaire’s throat. She swallowed every drop he gave her as his hands laced through her damp hair, holding her to him until he had finished rocking into her face.
“Uh, oh, that was good,” Kezon groaned as he gently pushed her back.
Blaire stood and smiled at her lover. He had in mind to do the same for her as he wanted to taste her essence and breathe in her sweet aroma. Set on doing just that, Kezon pulled the young scientist onto the bench just as his comm beeped.
“Speak,” Kezon said after tapping the interface.
“Commander, the way is now clear. The Teruds have gone elsewhere and the streets are empty at this moment. We have captured the cyborg and disabled its network protocol. We’re at the Tracker waiting for you and Blaire so that we can go back to the ship.”
“We’ll go that way now,” Kezon replied.
He and Blaire quickly dressed. He pulled her to him before opening the door of the small living quarters. “Little Terran, I o
we you. Once everything is settled, you may collect the pleasure due to you,” he promised.
Blaire stood on her tiptoes and lifted her chin. He leaned in and kissed her, wishing that they had more time. But for now, the mission was afoot, and their time together would have to wait.
Chapter 19
Kezon
Kezon and Blaire carefully opened the door to the dusty apartment and crept into the hallway. Walking as if on glass, they tiptoed toward the stairs as he carefully scanned the area for heat signatures. Seeing or hearing nothing, Kezon carefully opened the building’s access door and looked outside. True to Uza’s word, the empty road greeted them and nothing but the whisper of the night sounded.
Blaire clutched his arm as they made their way up the throughway to the main road that led to the hanger. The Terud Rebels were careful not to occupy an area for too long. The rebels operated in swarms most of the time to avoid being ambushed by their enemy while in small groups. Spending the night on the streets was too dangerous even for them.
Not a soul was in view as they quickly strolled along the shadows of the road. Suddenly, a door opened across the street and a hulking Aulius stepped out, lighting a thick grassel. Kezon pushed them back into the shadows, his hand protectively on Blaire’s body. The Aulius smoked his grass and relaxed, unaware that they were so near to him. Kezon and Blaire stood silently and waited until he stepped back inside before they quickly moved along the planks of the walkway.
After several more minutes, they reached the small road that led to the hangar where the Tracker was waiting for them. Once on the road, they were out in the open where anyone could potentially see them. The stars twinkled above and the small elusive moon barely gave light to the western sky.
