  "My dad taught me to keep my cool and be resourceful." Trisha rubbed her head against Kelan as she continued. "I keep a little Leatherman micro in my bra. I used it to remove some of the slats from the cot in my cell. I sharpened them into knives. Once on board the shuttle, I released my straps right after take off. None of the men thought it was necessary to tie my hands or feet. I guess they thought one small human female was nothing to worry about." Trisha smirked as much as her dragon form would allow. She raised her head and blinked her long, dark lashes at her mate innocently. "They were wrong. When we were close enough I thought Raffvin couldn't send a strike force until it was too late, I attacked the three men. I was able to kill two almost immediately. One of the guys got off a shot but it hit the pilot taking care of him so I didn't have to worry about him. I was able to break the guy's nose and did a headbutt into him when he grabbed me trying to break my ribs. Dad always told me if you hit something right on the tip of the nose it hurts like hell and they'll loosen their hold while they are seeing stars. It worked! He loosened his hold enough for me to drive my knife into his ribs before I slit his throat."

  Kelan tightened his wing around his tiny mate and looked up at the stars in a prayer of thanks to the Gods and Goddesses for protecting her. Then he looked down at his mate and growled out, "I’m so proud of you but if you ever do anything like that again, I'll whip your ass."

  Trisha's dragon coughed out in glee as she suddenly sent images to her mate through the symbiosis around their necks letting him know exactly what happened through images. Trisha tried to stop her but her dragon was determined her mate know exactly what happened in minute detail. Trisha could feel Kelan's temper rise as the images flooded through him. She knew the exact moment when her dragon shared the kiss Terac gave her after they landed. Kelan's snarl would have scared off any predators within a fifty mile radius. He even started to get up but the next images of Trisha in pain and frightened as their son struggled flashed into focus. Trisha heard Kelan's cough of distress at the knowledge he came very close to losing both Trisha and his son if not for the care of the two men with her.

  “Maybe I won’t kill them yet but if either one of them ever kisses you again…” Kelan started to growl out at Trisha. She stopped him by running her tongue along his lips.

  Kelan wrapped his tail around hers, flipping her over onto her back and positioned his big body over hers. He lowered his head until their snouts touched. Trisha’s dragon coughed out softly begging her mate to claim her again. She let her front claws wrap around the upper arms of Kelan’s dragon while she stretched her tail out and wound it around his moving both of them gently back and forth. She could feel Kelan’s thick cock lower from the slit and push against her. Her dragon arched under the big male, opening for him as she used her back claws to pull him forward into her. Both dragons called out as they became one in the age old call of mating. Kelan let his dragon take over, rocking and driving into his mate over and over until both were totally sated. Kelan grinned at his dragon’s sigh of contentment and joy. It was the first time he let go totally and just became his dragon. His dragon sent a heated breath of love and warmth over his exhausted tiny mate who was curled up under his wing sound asleep. Kelan reached out to Bio to see how the men were doing and if it had heard anything yet from the V’ager. The V’ager was just entering the galaxy and would be within range in approximately two hours. The men were talking quietly and safe. Bio sent one large predator running when it tried to knock the men from the tree but otherwise everything was quiet. Bio sent a wave of warmth and affection to Kelan and his dragon for caring for their mate.

  Anytime, my friend, anytime. Kelan responded silently.

  Chapter 25

  Kelan gently nudged Trisha’s sleeping form to wake her. The V’ager was going to be transporting them up and was already attacking the freighter and the Curizan warship. Gold Valdier fighters were already deployed and the V’ager was sending out disruption bursts. Kelan looked at the two men as they came out of the forest with Bio by their side.

  “Is it time already?” Trisha asked sleepily. She was already exhausted all the time now and Kelan’s dragon and hers didn’t let her get a lot of rest last night. She felt like she could sleep for a week if given the chance.

  “Yes, the V’ager will transport us up shortly. How are you feeling?” Kelan asked as he helped Trisha to stand up.

  Trisha started to answer when she turned deathly pale. She covered her mouth and ran for the edge of the river where she knelt down and vomited. Kelan moved quickly beside her, holding her as she tried to empty the contents of an already empty stomach. Trisha moaned in embarrassment at the thought that the three men were watching her puke her guts out.

  “Leave me alone for a few minutes.” Trisha groaned out as another wave of nausea hit her hard. She doubled over again.

  “Never again will I let you out of my sight.” Kelan said gently as he dampened a piece of his shirt to wipe across Trisha’s forehead and the back of her neck.

  “Perhaps I can help.” Jaron said as he knelt down next to Trisha. “Sniff this.”

  Kelan looked suspiciously at the small green leafy plant Jaron was rolling between his fingers. “What is it?” He asked pulling Trisha a little closer to his body.

  “It is a plant I recognized from my planet. It has been used for centuries to help the women during their pregnancies. The smell will help alleviate the nausea. I found it as we were coming to the river. I should have looked for it before.” Jaron explained calmly holding it out for Kelan to sniff first.

  Trisha moaned as she leaned against Kelan. “Give it to me if it works. I feel terrible.”

  Kelan sniffed the plant and was surprised by the pleasant smell. He carefully took it from Jaron and held it under Trisha’s nose. Almost immediately the nausea dissipated. Trisha leaned back weakly in Kelan's arms and sent a grateful smile to Jaron.

  “Thank you.” She whispered.

  “My pleasure.” Jaron responded with a grin. “My mother swore by it.”

  “Look!” Terac said pointing up to the sky where a large fireball was shooting across it. “It looks like what’s left of the freighter.”

  Kelan watched grimly as the huge fireball exploded into smaller pieces as it fell through the atmosphere of the moon. He looked at Bio who showed him images of the V’ager attacking both the freighter and the Curizan warship. The warship was trying to flee. Kelan growled out a silent command for Bio to notify the V’ager there was five of them to transport and their location. Within moments, a bright light engulfed them.

  "Status report!" Kelan shouted above the alarms. "Someone shut off the alarms. I want a full report now."

  Kelan picked Trisha up in his arms and strode through the doors of the transporter room. She would have to be content in the officer's conference room off the bridge since he did not want her more than a few feet from him. He listened intently making slight changes or asking questions as the lift took them up to the bridge. Once there, he carefully lowered Trisha to her feet.

  "Go with Kor. He will show you to the conference room. There is a large couch there. It is not as comfortable as our living quarters here but I cannot have you far away from me." Kelan explained gently as he ran his hand down her cheek.

  Trisha nodded. She understood he was needed here. Trisha smiled as Kor came up and waited patiently while Kelan brushed a kiss over Trisha's lips. Kelan turned to Kor with a nod before shouting out orders. Trisha turned one last time to see Jaguin explaining something to Kelan. He glanced up and smiled at her before turning his attention back to Kelan. Trisha felt her love for her warrior swell as she noticed how the whole atmosphere on the bridge seemed to change when Kelan walked in. Here was a man used to giving orders and expecting them to be followed. He was a true leader of men. She started when she felt Kor gently touch her arm.

  "Thank you." Trisha said softly as she turned and walked into the conference room.

  Kor showed Trisha where the cleansing
unit was and where Kelan kept some of his clothes. "He spent a lot of time here from what I hear when he first met you." Kor teased as he laid some blankets on the couch.

  Trisha blushed as she remembered how stubborn she was at first. "It did him some good." Trisha retorted humorously.

  Kor just laughed and explained he was to guard her. He apologized for any inconvenience but it would be necessary for him to remain inside the room with her at all times. Trisha raised her eyebrow and asked if that included the cleansing unit while she took a shower. Kor's face turned a dull red as he responded he felt she would be safe long enough to bathe, that is, unless she needed help washing her back. It was Trisha's turn to turn pink. Kor laughed as Trisha mumbled something about males and their sense of humor.

  Trisha tried to stay awake but after a nice warm shower in the cleansing unit and the wonderful meal Kelan had delivered to the conference room she couldn’t keep her eyes open. She and Kor talked about the forests on the moon and some of the things she did to survive while she ate but he finally encouraged her to lay down and rest. Trisha was asleep before her head even hit the pillow.

  Kor looked down in wonder at the amazing alien female from Earth. He knew Kelan planned to take Trisha back to Earth as soon as they were finished with the Curizan warship. Kelan already made sure the coordinates were programmed into the navigation system for the location of Trisha’s father’s home in the place called Wyoming. Kor looked up when the doors to the conference room slid silently open. Kelan’s eyes immediately sought out his mate. His face softened as he walked over to her sleeping form.

  “How has she been?” Kelan asked Kor quietly not wanting to wake Trisha up.

  “Good. She fell asleep shortly after she ate. What happened with the Curizan warship?” Kor asked in return.

  “Destroyed. It took longer than I expected. They had some new technology we were not aware of but luckily so did we. We sustained minimal damage to the port side and repairs are underway.” Kelan murmured.

  “How many warriors did we lose?” Kor asked.

  “Two warriors.” Kelan said soberly. The weight of responsibility was heavy when he lost any of his men. The two lost were wounded too severe for their symbiosis to heal them fast enough. It didn’t happen often but it happened. They were in the section damaged on the port side and were crushed, dying immediately.

  “Was Raffvin killed?” Trisha asked softly causing both men to start.

  “You should still be asleep.” Kelan reproached softly as he knelt next to the couch and ran the palm of his hand along her cheek.

  Trisha smiled sleepily and yawned really big. She tilted her face until her lips were pressed against his palm and licked it. “I’m not tired anymore.”

  Kor laughed and stood up. “I think I’ll go check in with Jaguin unless you have further need of my services, my lord.”

  Kelan never turned his gaze from Trisha’s as he responded. “No, I think I have this.”

  “Until later, my lady.” Kor said as he moved to the door.

  “Kor.” Kelan called out as the door opened.

  “Yes, my lord?”

  “Make sure we are not disturbed unless we are under attack.” Kelan said with a small grin.

  “Yes, my lord. Not even if your brother’s mate was on board.” Kor laughed as he exited the conference room. Bio moved to lay down in front of the door to make sure no one interrupted his mates.

  “So, what’s on your mind, my lord?” Trisha asked softly as she walked her fingers up Kelan’s chest.

  “I need to clean up before I make love to you.” Kelan groaned against Trisha’s lips.

  “I could help you.” Trisha whispered back.

  Kelan pulled Trisha up growling when he realized the only thing she was wearing was one of his shirts. “This is all you had on with Kor in here?” He growled.

  Trisha laughed as she saw the flames of jealousy flare in Kelan’s eyes. “Honey, I have dresses back home that cover less than this.”

  “You’ll have to bring them back with you.” Kelan murmured against Trisha’s lips as he kissed her deeply.

  It took a moment for her to understand what he was implying. Trisha tore her mouth away from Kelan’s and looked at him with tears in her eyes. She opened her mouth but nothing came out at first. It was almost like she was afraid to voice her hope.

  “Do you…” Trisha began. “Are you saying…?”

  Kelan cupped Trisha’s face between his big palms and pressed a gently kiss to her lips. “We are going to get your dad. He needs to know he is going to be a grandpa.” Kelan murmured gently referring to the name Trisha used when she talked of wanting her dad to know she was with child.

  “Oh, Kelan!” Trisha gasped as she flung her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest. “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

  Kelan laughed as he wiped the tears from Trisha’s face. “I can think of a way you can thank me.” He whispered devilishly.

  Trisha’s face lit up as she began pulling at the ties holding his shirt on. “So can I.” She whispered back before running her tongue over one of his nipples.

  Kelan shivered at the feel of Trisha’s tongue on his extended nipple. Gods and Goddesses he would never get enough of her. He found her even more desirable rounded with his child. His cock grew long and heavy at the thought of sliding in and out of her. He wanted her desperately. Kelan quickly pulled the shirt Trisha was wearing over her head and pulled the rest of his clothes off, stumbling when Trisha reached down and cupped his heavy sack in the palm of her hand.

  Kelan groaned and picked Trisha up chuckling when she squealed out she was getting to big and heavy for him to carry her. He strode into the cleansing unit. With a swipe of his hand the cleansing foams made quick work of cleaning the dirt and sweat from the moon off his body. Kelan was about to reach for the door when Trisha sank down to her knees in front of him and pulled his thick cock into her mouth without warning.

  “Goddesses’ bosoms!” Kelan roared out at the feel of her hot mouth wrapped around him.

  He splayed his hands on the wall behind her and leaned into her mouth. Kelan closed his eyes trying to hold back as waves of intense pleasure pulsed through him as Trisha moved her head back and forth. When she pulled almost all the way out and waited, his eyes opened and he stared down into her dark brown ones. A small smile curved the corner of her mouth as she pulled his cock out of her mouth so she could lick the tip. Kelan’s eyes widened at the erotic picture she made as she licked and sucked him. He could feel his sack drawing tighter but was unable to break the hypnotic hold the sight of her sucking his cock created. He felt the shaking begin in his legs and move up as he lost control.

  Moaning, Kelan wrapped one hand in Trisha’s hair holding her head still while his cock pulsed, sending his hot seed down her throat. He watched as she swallowed. She never took her eyes from his, watching how his changed shape and color as he came. When she drank the last of it, she licked him clean before slowly standing up again. Kelan wrapped his shaking arms around her, loving the feel of her soft, silky skin as it moved against his.

  Trisha turned her head into Kelan’s throat and whispered softly, “I love you, my true mate.”

  Kelan was about to reply when he felt Trisha’s sharp teeth pierce the skin of his throat. He groaned out deeply as she began breathing dragon fire into his blood. His hips moved back and forth in rhythm with the waves building. When she licked the wound on his neck, he growled out it was her turn now. Trisha threw her head back and to the side welcoming the claim of her mate. She tensed and groaned loudly as Kelan bit down on the opposite side of her neck from the dragon’s mark. She felt the heat of his breath as he began sending the dragon’s fire through her. He was marking her again as his. Trisha half thought at the rate Kelan was marking her there wouldn’t be a place uncovered by their first anniversary.

  “Kelan!” Trisha cried out as the first wave hit her hot and fast.

  “Turn around.” Kelan groane
d out. “I want to take you from behind.”

  Trisha turned and spread her legs. Her pussy was throbbing with need. She almost came when Kelan pressed two of his fingers inside her to see if she was ready for him. Her vaginal walls clamped down on them, greedy for more.

  “Gods, Trisha!” Kelan moaned. “Your body wants mine.”

  “I know, damn you. Do something!” Trisha sobbed out as another wave washed over her.

  Kelan aligned his swollen cock with her dripping pussy, pushing her forward slightly so her ass was higher in the air. He swore one day he would take her beautiful ass. He pushed forward, groaning as he cock fought to push through the swollen folds of her clit. He had to grit his teeth to prevent the moan of pain as she wrapped around him so tight he thought he would explode from how good it felt.

  “Faster!” Trisha begged as she pushed back.

  “Trisha, if I take you any faster I won’t last long and I want you to come before I do.” Kelan muttered as he tried to control the building wall of heat in his cock.
