“Come for me, Ella. I want to feel your release all over my cock.”
He was learning to speak more slang, getting better at playing human since arriving on Earth. The dirty talk was a bonus.
She came suddenly, her nails digging into Dhiro’s forearms as the orgasm tore through her body. He joined her, pumping the last of his seed inside her.
She already carried his baby. It was part of both of them, so it meant the world to her.
He grabbed some paper towels from the dispenser and cleaned them both up before helping her get presentable.
“That was exactly what I needed. Thank you.”
“It’s my job to pleasure my mate.”
“Well, just one of them.” She held his biceps as he helped her off the counter. She loved his strength. She’d seen him do things that ten men wouldn’t be able to do together. There were probably so many other things she had yet to learn about her alien abductor.
They found Bronn and Kaalen in the aisle.
Bronn shook his head disapprovingly. “Where have you two been? I’ve been scouring the store in search of you.”
“We were preoccupied,” Dhiro said.
Kaalen groaned. “Again? We can hear you across the hall in the hotel. It’s unnatural.”
“Tell me that again once you have your own mate.”
Ella’s face must have been bright red by the way it felt.
They purchased all their hardware and supplies and then drove out to the spacecraft. It was always unnerving, hoping they weren’t followed. They constantly checked behind them. Bronn always parked nearly a mile away from the site so as not to overly disturb the vegetation and create suspicion. If their ship were discovered, it would be the end of ever returning home or saving Trenu Zel.
Dhiro held her arm, helping her through the terrain to the ship. Sometimes, he insisted on carrying her. The weather was beautiful today, the trees giving just enough shade. They began the usual drill of uncovering the ship and inspecting everything once they arrived on site.
“Ella, come inside. I’m going to contact Trenu Zel. You need to be there for the call.”
“Are you telling them about the baby?”
“We will see how the conversation goes. First, I will call my mother.”
For an almost mother-in-law, Ella couldn’t complain about Dhiro’s mother. She was calm, thoughtful, and accepting. The fact she had Dhiro’s loyalty said a lot.
She sat down on a chair in the cockpit as he attempted to get his communication equipment working. It didn’t take long for the viewscreens to light up.
“I’m calling her now,” he said. “I’m afraid of her reaction. She will worry.”
Ella kept quiet.
“Dhiro! Are your brothers well?”
“Yes, they are repairing the ship as we speak.”
“Your mate?”
He didn’t answer. She saw him swallow hard. “I have news, Mother. Unbelievable news. My mate is with child.”
His mother stood from her seat, leaning over the viewscreen. “With child? Why would you return to Earth with her then? Why risk their health?”
“We only just found out after landing.”
“You said nothing before leaving. I am confused.”
“After so many cycles, our leaders were becoming impatient, reminding me Ella’s sole purpose was to save our race. Without a pregnancy, I feared they would kill her.”
Kill her?
She thought they’d send her back to Earth, not kill her. Now she understood Dhiro’s sense of urgency the day they left Trenu Zel.
“Our people do not murder, Dhiro. You know this. You must be mistaken in your assumption.”
She heard Bronn’s and Kaalen’s rough footfalls on the grated metal stairs.
“Mother!”
“Oh, my baby boy, Kaalen. You must return to me.”
All three of them crowded at the monitor. “We are working on the repairs now. Once the environmental systems are fixed, we can plan to depart from this planet.”
“Please be careful. All of you.”
Dhiro shut off the viewscreen and began to pace. She could feel his stress as if it were her own. “I need to contact control central and get advice on this final repair.”
“We’re so close,” Bronn said. “I cannot find or replicate the environment control oxygen chambers. Ask them about those specifically.”
“Okay, please wait outside. You are overly excited, and there isn’t enough room for the three of us in here.”
The two brothers headed back outside. Soon after, she heard them tinkering again in the underbelly of the ship.
“If they say anything negative about you, I may not be able to hold my tongue. Maybe you should also wait outside.”
“Dhiro, I’m a big girl. I think I’ve heard it all. Make the call.”
He took a deep breath and punched some numbers into the keyboard. Within seconds, the viewscreen came to life again. A man in a black suit similar to what Dhiro wore to work appeared.
“Dhiro, what have you done?”
“I protected my mate as any male would do. Apparently, the alien experiment had a time limit.”
“Protected her from what?”
“From our leaders. How long do think it would have taken before they decided she was a mistake?”
“After enough time, the project would have been canceled, but no one would have harmed your mate.”
“Then why was my ship’s engine tampered with?”
“We were studying the impact of a voyage to Earth on your ship’s systems. Nothing more.”
“I hope this news is true because I have some news of my own.”
“Please update us.”
“Ella is pregnant. As you know, our child is the key to our planet’s salvation. However, our environment systems are currently not operating properly and we are unable to repair them.”
“Send me the schematics.”
Dhiro forwarded files and diagrams on the other screen.
He beckoned her closer as they waited for a response. She sat on his lap and he kissed her forehead. “We’re so close to having our happily ever after.”
“Did you read about that from your Earth studies?”
He nodded.
“You’re adorable, and I love you,” she said.
The man returned to the viewscreen. “Dhiro, the mixed-species pregnancy can have many complications only the advanced equipment in our hospitals can handle. Ella needs to get back to Trenu Zel. Your ship’s environmental damage is beyond repair. The oxygen system will only sustain two lives for the voyage back. Any more would stress the system to the point no being could survive the return flight. You must leave Bronn and Kaalen on Earth and return home with your mate immediately.”
Chapter Ten
“You will go,” Bronn and Kaalen both answered at the same time, but Dhiro shook his head.
“No, I cannot leave you both. You should not be punished.” Dhiro knew he rambled, but he was experiencing a great deal of information all at once. His mate was pregnant, and they were never going to terminate her life on Trenu Zel. His ship was only going through the usual protocols and instead of being ready for any of that, he’d acted rashly, and now he had two brothers willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
He couldn’t do it. It was unfair. They had only wanted to help.
“I will stay. Ella can go with you. I’m sure three people will survive. I will stay here.”
“Stop it,” Kaalen said. “You know that’s not possible. We all knew there was a risk and besides, hope is not lost. The government knows we will be stranded here. I have no doubt they will start to craft the proper equipment to come and save us. No hope is lost.”
“Brother, Ella is living proof that your theories were correct. More of our people will want to travel to Earth to get their own mates.”
“I feel sorry for your women,” Ella said.
All the time he’d been talking with his brothers, she�
��d sat quietly in the corner.
He was worried about the journey having an effect on her. It had been two days since his communication back home, and he’d read one of the pregnancy books that had been available at one of the shops. It had been like a beacon for him to pick up and to read. However, his joy was overshadowed by the guilt of leaving his brothers behind. They didn’t deserve any of this.
“There is nothing to feel sorry about,” Bronn said. “I imagine there is a female sector already preparing to send their first female to find a human mate. I cannot wait for our planet to be full of kids once again. The joy, I can relish it.”
Dhiro smiled. This was the hope he had always wanted to give to his people, but at what cost?
It seemed to be too steep a price.
Rubbing the back of his head, he tried to think of a solution, but the truth was, he’d spent many sleepless nights thinking of ways to help them all return to their planet safely. Fear rushed down his spine. It was an odd feeling as he’d never experienced it.
His brothers hadn’t studied Earth culture and how to blend in like he had, and he’d sucked at it. The first time he was here, he’d been suspected, and the truth was, they already gained so much attention for their sheer size.
The only way his brothers would be safe was if they didn’t partake in any communication with humans. They’d be best not to stay on Earth at all.
“You know the risks of getting caught,” Dhiro said.
Kaalen stood, and rather have his back ramrod straight, he slouched a little. Dhiro noticed a swagger to his walk. “Listen, I don’t know what the fuck your problem is, but you need to take your woman and get her somewhere safe. The safety of like a gazillion people rests in your hands.”
Dhiro frowned at his brother. “I have no idea what you’re doing right now. You sound foolish at best.”
“Exactly.” Kaalen shrugged.
His brother got up, shoved a hand into his pocket, and walked toward him. “Hey, the name’s Bronn. Pleasure to meet you.”
“Why are you talking like that?”
He turned at the sound of Ella’s laughter. “I don’t think you’re getting it because your brothers blend in a little better than you.”
“Well, hello there, sweet thing. I don’t know what planet you came from, but sign me up, gorgeous,” Bronn said.
His protective urges kicked in, and within seconds, he stood in front of his mate. “You need to back off, Bronn.”
Ella grabbed his hand. “Dhiro, stop it. Your brothers are proving to you that they know exactly what they’re doing. In a short time, they have learned to blend in, and I have to say, it’s kind of scary.”
Kaalen winked at her. “We’re going to be here for a long time. It only makes sense to adapt. We can do it a lot better than our brother, who’s a giant pain in the ass.”
Ella chuckled, and Dhiro growled. “I can do everything far better than the both of you.”
Bronn pointed at him. “And that’s why you can never fit in with these Earth people. You’re way too competitive. You need to learn to chill a little.”
Dhiro shook his head. “I don’t think I can be around them right now. They’re mocking me.”
Ella got to her feet and wrapped her arms around his waist. “They’re mocking you, yes, but they’re also showing you that if we go without them, they’ll be safe. I am so sorry, you guys.”
“You’ve got nothing to say sorry for, Ella. It’s our brother, as usual, jumping to the wrong conclusions and panicking.” Bronn shrugged.
Ella laughed. “I’ll leave you boys alone. It’s so hot, I need a shower.”
Dhiro watched his mate leave, and he heard her go into their bedroom, the door closing behind her. He hated her being out of his sight, but the moment she was gone, his shoulders slumped.
“Are you okay?” Kaalen asked. “We can joke around, but you’re going to be a father. The first one on our planet in some time. That’s a huge deal.”
“I do not want to leave you.” He felt so guilty. “We can fix the ship. I know we can. I don’t care what they say.”
Kaalen came to him, putting a hand on his shoulder. “Brother, we are going to be fine. Trust us and our people. It will be only a matter of time before we return. I have faith and I have hope. You and Ella have given us that. Do not fear.”
“It has always been my responsibility to take care of you.” He shook his head. “I failed.” Never had he uttered those terrible words.
“You didn’t fail. Look at the opportunity you have given us all. We are on Earth. We are together and have each other. There’s a chance here for the two of us to find our own mates. Do not look at the bad or fear what could happen. Think of the opportunity here. We’re surrounded by Earth women. We blend in a lot better than you. There’s nothing for you to worry about. Not for us.”
“You’re my brothers. I will always worry about you.”
“There is no solution here,” Bronn said. “You have to accept it, and you’ve got to take Ella back. We do not know how her baby is going to react to this environment, nor how she will either. She is already highly sexual and needs your constant attention. You must protect her and our nephew or niece. You know this.”
“I can’t believe I am going to be a father. I have wanted this for so long. I had resigned myself to a life dedicated to the finding of advancement for our people.”
“And in doing so, you have given us back hope. You need to see the truth of that,” Kaalen said. “Others will be unwilling to wait the many cycles before Ella gives birth and a cure for the infertility is created. They will come to Earth for mates, and we will have a way back home.”
This was all bittersweet. It wouldn’t be the same returning to Trenu Zel without his brothers. Their mother would be devastated.
Dhiro went back to his room to find Ella sitting on the bed, waiting. “Are you okay?” she asked.
He shook his head.
She opened her arms to him, and he went to her, wrapping his arms around her, not wanting to let her go.
“I’ve got you,” she said.
“I do not want to leave them, but I want to take you somewhere safe. I feel I failed them.”
Back home, he may be seen as a hero for what he’d been able to achieve, but this was nothing heroic. He never should have rushed off or assumed the worst of his people. His love for his mate had driven him to the extreme.
“You haven’t failed anyone. Honestly, I think you can do anything. And I know you’ll be an amazing father.”
Holding Ella in his arms, he felt the stirring of his cock, but she wasn’t aroused, at least not yet. Kissing her neck, he licked over the pulse that he knew caused her a great deal of pleasure. He needed to be inside her, to feel the connection, the bond. His need was so fierce. This was more than a basic sexual release. He felt lost and needed Ella to ground him.
“I need you, Ella,” he said.
“Then take me, Dhiro. I’m yours. I will always be yours.” She giggled. “I’m usually the one who needs you lately.”
This time, he wasn’t gentle as he tugged at her clothing, removing the negligee that covered way too much. He wanted to see Ella naked, to witness the slight growth of his baby inside the mother’s stomach.
He craved her so much.
“Please.”
The scent of her arousal filled the air, and he moved her to lie down on the bed. Her big tits were the first part of her to capture his attention. He flicked his tongue across one peaked nipple, relishing the sound of her gasp.
Using enough teeth to drive her wild, he tugged it into his mouth, and his name spilled from her lips.
“Please,” she said once again.
Putting his hand on her knee, he slowly began to glide it up her thigh, tracing over her knee, going up further until he was nearly touching her pussy.
She tried to move to get him to touch her where she wanted, but he held back, sucking each nipple in turn, flicking over the puckered tips.
<
br /> “You’re doing this on purpose.”
He couldn’t deny it. He was.
Only when he was ready did he put his hand on her pussy. She moaned as he slid two fingers inside her tight cunt and used his thumb to rock back and forth across her swollen clit.
She thrust against his hand, but he wanted it to be his cock that was inside her, driving into her repeatedly.
“Yes, that feels so good.”
Kissing down her body, he knew what was going to feel even better. He used his tongue to trace a path down toward her pussy.
Ella spread her legs, making sure there was enough room for him, and he stared into her eyes as he touched his mouth to her pussy.
Gentle at first. Teasing. He slid his tongue across her clit, going down toward her entrance, then back up again. Slow teases, heightening her arousal and need. Her taste was addicting as always.
The way she thrashed against him. Her need so palpable.
She was so close to orgasm, but he wanted this to last and so he teased her even more, making her work for it. Each time she tried to build to fall over the peak, he held her back, doing exactly what was necessary to keep her so close, but never falling off that edge.
His cock was in a state of torture, wanting to fuck her, to take her, to mark all over her body so that when he returned home, no one would ever doubt who she belonged to. Ella was all his.
Coming to Earth had been a desperate mission, but Ella wasn’t a duty. She was the love of his life.
He wasn’t like his brothers. He didn’t know how to express his feelings like they did. He was used to facts, to being stoic, to being what his planet viewed as normal. All his life, he’d been ordered to be admired as leader of the taskforce, for men and women to want to be like him.
With Ella, he got to be himself. She admired the man, all parts of him.
She loved him even when he felt he was a failure.
“Dhiro, please, I … I need…”
“I know what you need.”
And he couldn’t take it anymore. He used his tongue in just the right way, thrusting her over the edge. The pleasure was instant, and before her orgasm had even finished, he was out of his Earth pants, which weren’t very strong to begin with. Trenu Zel materials were far more durable. He pressed the tip of his cock against her entrance, and with a hard thrust, he was seated to the hilt within her.
