"Is ... is it true? What you said?"
I knew what he was talking about. I raised my hand and put it on his cheek.
"Yes, Hunter", I confirmed gently. "I love you! And I belong to you. Only you!"
"Pearl!" he said harshly. "Pearl! What am I going to do with you?" He shook his head.
"Don't you want me?" I asked and felt a painful sting in my heart.
"Don't I want you?" he asked without understanding. "Does it look like I don't want you?"
"Well, I know that you want me sexually", I said carefully. "But I actually meant whether you ..."
He interrupted me with the most gentle and tender kiss I had ever been given. My heart began to race and butterflies fluttered in my stomach amok.
"I don't want you just for sex", he confessed quietly as he stopped kissing me. "But I still have doubts. I would never forgive myself if I seriously hurt you."
"We can learn to deal with each other", I replied. "Lie down on your back!"
"What?"
"Lie on your back!" I looked deep into his eyes.
"Why? What do you ...?"
"Don't you trust me?"
"Yes, I do ..." He sighed and rolled himself onto his back next to me. The look he gave me was more than skeptical. When I sat down on top of him, his eyes widened. "You want to dominate me!" he said so accusingly that I had to laugh.
"Look at you and then look at me, Hunter! Do you seriously think I have a chance against you?"
"That doesn't mean you can't dominate me", he growled.
"Hunter, just because I'm on top doesn't mean I want to dominate you. Quite the opposite. I want to make you feel good. I want to serve you. You maintain full control. Tell me what you want me to do. I want nothing more than to give you pleasure. Command me. What do you want me to do for you?"
"This is a dangerous game, Pearl. You are lucky that my appetite is satiated, otherwise you would already be lying beneath me, my cock all the way inside your pussy and my teeth in your neck!"
"Especially now that you're satisfied, it's the ideal moment to do this experiment."
He looked at me in disbelief.
"You really want to do this?"
"Yes, I do."
"Okay!"
"Tell me, Hunter. What do you want me to do?"
"Touch me!" he demanded hoarsely.
I put my hands on his broad chest and began to explore his body. He growled quietly and closed his eyes.
"My cock!" he whispered. "Touch my cock! Grab it in your hand!"
I followed his orders. He raised his pelvis as I embraced his thick shaft. I liked the feeling of his smooth hardness in my hand.
Hunter clenched his fists and emitted growling and hissing sounds as I caressed him with my hand.
"Pearl!" he growled. "I have to ... Fuck! I have to ... now".
"Do you want me to push your cock into my pussy?" I asked.
"Yeah", he grumbled with his teeth clenched.
I raised my pelvis and braced my lap so that I could slowly slide his cock into me. Apparently it wasn't fast enough for Hunter. He grabbed me by my hips and rammed his sword hard into me. I gasped and closed my eyes with a groan. It took a few blows until we found a rhythm. Hunter's breath became heavy and pressed. His grip around my hips was brutally firm, but I allowed it. I wanted this to work.
"Fuck! Pearl! I am ... so close. I ..."
"Touch me", I whispered hoarsely. "I'm close too."
Hunter looked at me, then slid one hand to my clit and rubbed it with circular movements.
"Come on, Pearl! Come for me!"
I felt my climax closer and closer, felt the heat shooting from my lap over my breasts to my cheeks. I yelled out Hunter's name at the same moment as he roared. My twitching pussy milked his cock until he had given every drop.
He pulled me on top of him, still connected deeply with him. I hid my head on his shoulder and breathed in his scent. It was a soothing smell. Like sun, warm earth, salty sweat and man. I felt so safe and secure in his arms.
"What do you think of taking a bath before going to sleep?" he whispered into my ear.
"That sounds good", I replied. "But I don't know if I can make it to the water. I am quite lazy and tired."
He laughed quietly.
"Want me to carry you?"
"Would you do that?"
"Hmmmm. Maybe I'm too lazy and tired, too."
I giggled in Hunter's shoulder. His big hands wrapped around my waist and he pushed me off him to stand up. I wanted to protest, but then he picked me up and carried me to the river. I snuggled up to him content and happy and wrapped my arms around his neck.
Hunter
It would soon be light. Pearl was sleeping deep and sound in my arms. I enjoyed the feeling of holding her. The last night with her had been unique. After the bath in the river we had loved each other twice before she fell asleep exhausted. Her willingness to trust me and to surrender so completely, to submit to me, amazed me. And it touched something deep inside of me. Pearl had told me that she loved me. That she was mine. Words that calmed my inner beast. I was far better in control of it now. Maybe Pearl was right. Maybe I could learn to keep my instincts in check. Pearl seemed to know exactly how to handle me. She was the perfect mate. The thought made me smile. I had never imagined having a mate. I had satisfied my sexual needs with one of our women from time to time. I had always been honest about it. Always made it clear that I wanted nothing more than sex. With the Alien Breed women that was no problem either. They were different from human women. They took what they needed and weren't clingy. One reason why I never wanted anything to do with human women. And now I was lying here and what I had never wanted was suddenly the best thing that had ever happened to me in my entire life.
It was time to get up. I gave Pearl a kiss on her sweet little nose and she grumbled in her sleep. I smiled. I had already noticed that my little mate was not an early riser.
"Wake up, baby!" I said and gently nudged her side. "We still have a lot to accomplish. I want to be in Ourilandia do Norte in three days at the latest".
"Hmmmm", Pearl grumbled reluctantly. "How can you remember that name? I can't even pronounce it."
I laughed.
"Alien Breeds have a good memory and a talent for languages. We are strong, have better senses and are of course, are exceptionally good in bed."
Pearl snorted.
"And so modest too," she said sarcastically.
"Maybe I'll have to fuck you real good again so you’ll remember how good I am in bed," I teased her.
"Show-off! But you’re right. After last night I hardly remember your ... umm ... achievements. You might have to refresh it a little!"
I growled at the audacious challenge.
Although I knew she was just teasing me, my Alien side felt challenged. I rolled over her and pressed my mouth on hers. She willingly wrapped her legs around my waist.
"I'm ready for you", she whispered, "Take me, Hunter!
With a deep growl I penetrated her warm tightness. She moaned in my ear. I began to move inside her. Fucking Pearl felt so incredibly good. No other woman had ever satisfied me like this. Only in her arms had I experienced what real fulfillment felt like. So much more than just satisfying a need.
My inner beast awoke and I felt the red veil approaching, but this time I no longer feared it. I knew that I could control it.
"Tell me, Pearl", I demanded harshly. "Do you remember now?"
"Yes", she gasped, "Yes, Hunter. You are the best lover. Only you can make me come so hard."
"I will see to it that you will never forget this, Pearl!"
"I love you, Hunter!"
"Then come for me, baby. Come on! Now!"
I pushed even harder into her and I felt her explode as her sweet pussy tightened even more around my cock. It was heaven and hell at the same time. Ecstasy and pain. My own climax made me roar. I pushed deep into her a few more times, catapulted my seed deep into her pussy until I felt the veil slowly lifting. Gro
aning, I rolled beside her and closed my eyes.
"You're killing me, Pearl", I gasped.
She giggled.
"Tired already, cowboy?"
"Give me a minute and I'll fuck you until you cry for mercy", I said threateningly.
"I'd love to accept your offer, but I think we should get up now. It's getting light."
Pearl
Before I knew what was happening to me, Hunter had grabbed me and turned me on my stomach. Immediately I was overcome with excitement, paired with a little thrill, because I knew that Hunter was out of control again. I had challenged his beast and would now bear the consequences. Consequences that I knew would be extremely satisfying.
"On your knees!" Hunter demanded, breathing heavily. "I will show you that I have more than enough manpower to satisfy you!”
I followed his orders and crawled onto all four. Already I felt Hunter's finger by my pussy. Two fingers slid into my hole while his big thumb rubbed firmly against my clit. I moaned lustfully and pressed myself against Hunter's hand.
"Don't move!" Hunter growled.
His hand between my legs disappeared and I whimpered disappointedly. Instead, he now grabbed my hair and wrapped a thick strand around his fist. It hurt a little when he forced my head back, but it also turned me on. I didn't intend to calm his beast this time. I wanted him wild. With a firm thrust he penetrated me and I screamed out hoarsely.
"Yes, that's right!", growled Hunter. "You want me to show you, sweetheart? You get what you want. I'll fuck you until you don't remember what’s up or down!"
With these words he began to push into me hard and mercilessly. His firm grip in my hair left me no choice but to endure every one of his blows. I was unable to avoid him. And I did not want to either. Even if I faltered between pleasure and pain, I wanted it. And I needed it! Just as he did. He had to make it clear that he had absolute control over me and I had to make it clear to myself that I wanted nothing more than to belong to him. Completely! With every fiber of my being. I felt myself heading for the climax. I was so close that I tried to push myself up. Hunter growled threateningly, then I felt his fangs drilling into my shoulder. I screamed as I exploded. Waves glowing ecstasy made my whole body tremble. I felt Hunter come inside of me. It took a while until I was able to think clearly again.
Hunter was still inside of me, but his grip had loosened a bit. His hot breath was tickling in my neck.
"Pearl" he whispered. "Who is your master, Pearl?"
"You are!" I gasped breathlessly and earned a satisfied hum.
"Good girl! We don't have time for me to show you again." He laughed quietly. "Are you okay?"
"Yes. Done, satisfied, absolutely well fucked, I'd say. Good work ... Master!"
Hunter separated from me and gave my backside a firm slap.
"Ouch!" I shouted outraged. "What was that for?"
"For you always having to challenge me, female!"
"But you like it!" I said. "You enjoy being the wild Alpha to me."
"Yes", he said in a raucous sexy voice. "I like it. But now we should really get going."
Chapter 4
Pearl
The way through the jungle became increasingly difficult. The part of the forest we were now crossing was densely overgrown and although Hunter cut through the path, it was difficult to get ahead. I was starting to look forward to a real bed and a big bathtub filled with hot water. Eating something decent wouldn't be too bad either. The jungle food, mostly consisting of fish and some roots, slowly but surely got on my nerves. Even though I was glad Hunter could provide us with something to eat at all. If I had been alone, I would have starved to death in this green hell.
Even the soldiers would surely have had their difficulties here. My dad had chosen the right man for this mission. But I wouldn't have expected anything else from him. He didn't bother with people who didn't meet his high standards. Only the best were able to impress my dad. That's why I was sure that he would approve of my choice. There was hardly a human man who could fulfill Dad's idea of a son-in-law. Hunter, on the other hand, was perfect.
By evening I was so exhausted that I fell asleep before Hunter had prepared the food. He tried to gently wake me and get me to eat something, but I felt much too weak. I was cold and my teeth were chattering. Half asleep I noticed Hunter lying next to me and pulling me into his arms. That helped a little against the cold and I slipped deeper into sleep. My dream was confusing. Something about blue-skinned aliens with yellow eyes, then Dillon and my dad and Hunter time and again. But everything was completely muddled and made no sense. From time to time I thought I heard Hunter's worried voice, but it could have been part of my dreams. Now I was hot. Unbearably hot.
Hunter
I was very worried. Pearl was not doing well. She was burning up from fever and seemed to be hallucinating. She was talking crazy stuff and threw herself back and forth in my arms moaning. I tried to give her some water, but she didn’t drink much, spitting most of it out. I didn't know how far it was to our destination, but I assumed it was a two-day march still. I would have to carry her, which would slow us down drastically. She was by no means able to walk. But I couldn't leave her here to get help either. First of all I couldn't leave her alone and secondly she would be able to get help faster if I carried her to Ourilandia do Norte. I would try to give her something to drink again and then set out on our way. It was still dark, but since I couldn't sleep any longer anyway, it didn't make sense to wait around. The sooner I left, the sooner Pearl would get help from a doctor. I took the water hose and put it on Pearl's dry lips.
"Come on, sweetie. Drink something!"
She grumbled reluctantly, but then she started drinking. To my relief it seemed to stay down this time. The worst thing that could happen to us here in the jungle was for her to get dehydrated. I had no other way to get fluids into her here than by mouth. There would certainly be a doctor at her dad's camp who could put her on an IV, but that was still a long way to go.
"Okay, sweetie. We're heading out now. I will carry you. You can go back to sleep."
"Hunter", she mumbled weakly. "So hot."
"I know, baby", I said quietly. "I know!"
My gaze went to the water hose. I wouldn't be able to sacrifice much water because I didn't know when we would find water again. I tore off a long strip of my shirt and moistened it with the precious water, then tied it around Pearl's temples.
"I'll be right back", I assured her, "all I have to do is put out the fire and pack everything up."
After I had finished, I picked Pearl, who had fallen asleep again, off the ground and started walking. I was glad that the jungle was getting a little lighter again, because I had a hard time clearing the way with Pearl in my arms. I was now following a wild path and had some room available. About every two hours I took a short break to give Pearl some water and moisten her headband. I didn't worry about food. Pearl was not able to eat anyway and I could get by without it. So I saved time and walked with Pearl in my arms until late in the evening. It wasn't until midnight that I carefully laid her down in a small clearing and quickly made a fire to deter wild animals.
I kneeled down on the ground in front of Pearl and shook her gently.
"Pearl! Wake up, sweetheart!"
After a while she opened her eyes and looked at me. Her eyes were glassy, but at least she seemed to recognize me because she smiled.
"Hunter."
"I’m here, Pearl. We're sleeping here tonight and tomorrow we'll continue. I hope that tomorrow we are able to make it to the village. Then a doctor can look at you."
"Did you carry me all day?" she asked in a weak voice.
"Yes. Don't worry about it. I will be fine".
Pearl's eyes fluttered and slowly closed again.
"... love you," she muttered weakly.
"I love you too, baby", I said quietly and earned myself a smile.
I lay down behind her and pulled her tightly into my arms. The long march slowly began
to exhaust me too. I had walked from early morning until late into the night and I was feeling the effect it had on my body. My muscles were tense and my head was thumping. To save water I had hardly drank anything. Sighing, I reached for the water hose and straightened up to drink a few sips. It wouldn't help us much if I collapsed from dehydration. After drinking, I lay back and fell asleep almost instantly.
The next morning Pearl was in a better mood. She managed to relieve herself by herself in the brush and drink a few sips. She looked unusually pale and it was clear that she couldn't walk more than a few steps without collapsing. I would have to carry her again.
"How are you feeling?" I asked her after she had finished drinking.
"Like shit", she replied with a tortured smile. "I am cold again."
"You have the chills", I said worriedly. "Maybe there was some virus in the water that made you sick. We Alien Breeds hardly ever get sick. We can handle a lot, but you obviously caught something bad. I wish I could do more for you, but all I've got is a little water."
"I can do it, Hunter", she assured me.
"Let's get going! The sooner we get to the damn village, the better!"
"Sorry I'm such a burden."
"Don't be silly!" I growled. "You are strong. Much stronger than I ever thought you would be. You can't help it if a stupid virus knocked you out."
I took her face between my hands and looked firmly into her eyes.
"I love you, Pearl Jackson! You are an incredible woman. And you are MINE!"
"Yours", she whispered.
"Exactly! Never forget that!", I said seriously and kissed her gently. Then I lifted her onto my arms and continued on.
Pearl
I snuggled up to Hunter's shoulder. My guilty conscience that he had to carry me was replaced by the wonderful feeling of being in his arms. Smiling I closed my eyes. I was his. But that also meant: he was MINE! And he had said that he loved me. No matter how weak and miserable I felt, knowing that Hunter returned my love made everything bearable. He was the man I would spend my future with. I could not be happier. I constantly wavered between sleeping and waking. I had no idea how long we had been walking through the jungle. Hunter seemed tireless. His step was as firm as ever and full of determination. We took a break at a small waterfall.
