Mated on Hades

by Golden Angel

  “One hundred credits and not a penny more.”

  Vzanth glowered at him, which was truly creepy looking but he'd gotten used to it. She'd glared at the old captain the same way, but Tarrik's father had a strict policy when it came to the Riknari and it was one that Tarrik agreed with. They would not profit from the Riknari - they made plenty of profit off of their other sales.

  “It’s worth twice that, why won’t you just let me pay you like a normal trader?”

  “It’s worth exactly that and you know it, why won’t you just let us contribute to the cause like we want to?”

  “She just fixed our entire computer system on this blasted planet, that is already a substantial contribution.”

  Tarrik groaned, rolling his eyes skyward. “Then pay her for that, but I’m not taking more than a hundred credits.”

  “I don’t want payment!” Juliette blurted out. He couldn’t help but grin down at her. It would be interesting to see if she could manage to get away from Vzanth without taking any kind of recompense.

  By the time they made it back to the ship, Jules felt more than a little dazed.

  She was no longer afraid of the Riknari, but she definitely was still pretty intimidated by them (it was kind of hard not to be). They’d been pushy about paying her something, no matter how she insisted that she just wanted to help and it hadn’t really been work, but she’d ended up taking a small sum of credits too. Vzanth had insisted it was a matter of honor, at which point Jules had given in because she had no idea how to counter that argument.

  Even more so though, she was more than a little shocked at realizing that Tarrik was helping supply the mythical Riknari and earning no profit from it. She especially wouldn’t have expected him to look so pleased over it.

  Jules gave him a sidelong glance. “Are all of our stops going to be so… unprofitable for you?”

  He chuckled. “Hardly. This is the only one where we won’t turn a financial profit.”

  As she followed him onto the ship, she couldn’t help but mull over his word choice. No, he wasn’t turning a financial profit, but he was definitely getting something out of it. She had a feeling it was the same thing she got from helping the charities and hospitals back on earth.

  Having that in common with him made her feel even more unsettled.

  Seeing her expression, Tarrik tipped his head in a questioning motion. “What?”

  “Nothing,” she said, hurrying past him and into the ship where she could surround herself with the rest of his crew. It was the only way she could think of to barrier herself against him… against the things she was starting to feel for him.

  Chapter 6

  Jules managed to avoid being alone with Tarrik for the rest of the day. It helped that he had his shift on the bridge, so all she had to do was stay off there. She ended up exploring the ship with Verrik, who was happy to have someone else willing to crawl through the tunnels with him. Lessys and Sasslys were the only other two who could have – even with their wings tucked in tightly, the other Hadesians wouldn’t fit – and apparently they preferred not to unless they had to.

  She, on the other hand, liked to know everything about where she was currently residing. There was only one section she wasn’t allowed to go in – the room where the weapons were held, because Verrik said that their Weapons Specialist would have a fit. The room wasn’t even hooked up to the main computer system; it was on its own internalized system for security. He showed her everywhere else though and also made sure she knew how to suit up and to use the escape pods in case of emergency.

  All in all it was an enjoyable rest of the day until dinner when she realized that everyone was now comfortable enough to start asking her questions. They wanted to know about earth, her family, and herself, and she was really only comfortable talking about the first option.

  On the other hand, she felt rude not answering personal questions that were pretty normal for social interaction. Especially when they were being asked in such a goodnatured way.

  "So are you going to take Tarrik back to visit Earth and meet the family?" Sasslys asked teasingly. It was a completely normal question, but Jules tensed anyway.

  “No,” she said tersely. Then immediately regretted it when everyone recoiled slightly and she realized the answer had come out a lot harsher than she’d intended it to. She knew Sasslys hadn’t meant anything by it. Staring down at her plate, she poked at the pseudo-lasagna the replicator had created for her dinner. “My dad left when I was five and my mom kicked me out as soon as I was legally an adult. If I have any other family I never met them.”

  Silence. Yeah. That was about the reaction she expected.

  What she didn’t expect what came next. Sasslys scooted closer to her, wrapping her arm around Jules’ shoulders. “Don’t worry about it, they’re assholes and they didn’t deserve you anyway.”

  Jules shrugged. “I was pretty obnoxious.”

  “Please,” Verrik said with a snort. “No one is as obnoxious as Shonik and we still put up with him.”

  Despite herself, Jules felt a little smile curve her lips. She’d met Shonik while Verrik was taking her around on a tour of the ship; he was Tarrik’s Second Mate and Operations Officer and he was a little… prissy? Anal retentive? Rigid? All of those descriptions fit. He was also currently sitting at the table with them since it was third watch and Korik, the third mate, was the one currently running the bridge.

  Everyone guffawed and Shonik very calmly, without his expression changing one iota, loaded a fork with the sticky vegetable he was eating, and lobbed it straight at Verrik. Of all the people to start a food fight, Jules would never have guessed straight-laced Shonik would be it… although somehow she wasn’t surprised when he was the only one who escaped completely unscathed by the aftermath.

  It also took all the attention off of her, for which she was eternally grateful.

  ******

  The dinner conversation had made Tarrik realize how closed off Juliette was. She talked with everyone, she joked with everyone, but she never really said anything personal. None of them had known that asking about her family would be such a trigger.

  What made it harder was that now he wanted to know more. How old was the legal age on Earth? Why had her mother kicked her out? How had she lived? Was that part of why she’d applied to Celestial Mates, had she been looking for a home and a family?

  Wondering if that was part of her motivation made him feel even worse about his initial behavior and his original plan to try and drive her off. Hades wasn’t a bad home, and by coming there she would have accepted that the likelihood of having more than one offspring was low. His parents would be very happy to welcome her into their family. Gark, his mother was likely to overmother her, especially once she knew that Juliette had no family of her own back on Earth.

  Once they were alone in his cabin, he waited until she was out of the shower (some panchii fruit juice had gotten in her hair during the food fight) before bringing it up. Sitting on the bed, propped up on the pillows he’d piled against the headboard, he admired the way the damp towel clung to her curves as she walked into the room.

  “So, where did you learn so much about computers?” he asked, angling for a different question about her past that might not be so filled with landmines as her family.

  Juliette’s steps slowed and she turned to look at him, rather than continuing onward towards the closet.

  “I’ve always liked computers and learning how all the different species used programs that were both similar and different,” she said, cocking her head at him curiously, as if wondering why he was asking. Her wet, dark hair was slicked back from her face, giving him a completely unobscured view of her expression. “Computers always made sense to me. They don’t change what they do unless there’s something wrong with them, and once you know what the problem is you can fix it. They’re… reliable.”

  In some ways, Tarrik realized, it was the most personal thing she’d
said about herself so far. Her father had left when she was a young child, her mother had abandoned her by forcing her out… he’d always taken his parents for granted, that their love and support would be there for him whenever he needed it. But Juliette hadn’t had that. Obviously it had created a need for stability within her, which made her move from Earth all the more surprising. She must have been very desperate to fill out the Celestial Mates application and move away from everything she’d even known.

  “I’ve never been very interested in them,” he confessed. “I know enough of the basics, but it was definitely not something I was ever interested in as a specialty. It was garking hot watching you fix the Riknari’s system though.”

  A little smile curved her lips. “Oh yeah?”

  “Definitely,” he said grinning back at her and giving her a wink. His interest – otherwise known as his cock – perked up as she began to sashay towards the bed. “So um, did you go to school for computers or…”

  “Why the sudden interest?” she asked, raising her eyebrows as she let the towel drop. His cock went from intrigued to full throttle aroused as Tarrik’s eyes dropped to her breasts, then down to her pussy, then back up to her breasts, then back down…

  Wait, he’d been saying something…

  Juliette put her hands on the bed and started crawling towards him, her breasts swaying gently as she moved. She yanked on the covers, pulling them away from his hard cock, and her eyes latched onto the swollen shaft with purpose. Immediately Tarrik’s tail came to life, creeping up to wind about her thigh as she moved into position with her lips hovering over his dick.

  She glanced up at him with a sultry smile. “Do you really want to talk? Or…”

  Tarrik didn’t even have a chance to answer before she bent her head back down and swiped her tongue over the tip of his cock. He groaned, his head thudding back against the headboard at the cool, wet caress.

  Talking was probably overrated anyway.

  ******

  She hadn’t really been planning on getting down and dirty with Tarrik again tonight – she needed a little bit of physical space to help her get some emotional perspective – but when it was clear he wanted to play ‘get to know each other’… well she’d much rather fuck. It wasn’t like being turned on by him was a problem.

  Watching his eyes go all hot and his body start to glow red just because she was naked and crawling up between his legs? Well, if she hadn’t already been turned on, she definitely would have been after that. As she’d moved, his wicked tail had slithered over her legs, winding around her thigh and the end moving up between her pussy lips. The heat emanating from it was almost too painful to be pleasurable, but she definitely didn’t ask him to stop either.

  When she began licking the end of Tarrik’s cock, the end of his tail began to rub against her sensitive folds, seeking out the entrance to her body. Jules shuddered at the hot touch, even as she began to lower her mouth over his cock. Unlike a human man’s, there was no ‘head’; it was just a long, thick blunt-ended shaft down to his body. His tail, on the other hand, was tapered, and as it began to slide inside of her, heating her pussy from the inside out, she could feel her muscles stretching the deeper it slid.

  Moaning at the sensation, she shuddered as she began bobbing her head up and down on Tarrik’s dick, loving the feeling of being filled at both ends by his hot flesh. His fingers slid into her damp hair and she could actually hear her hair steaming at his touch, the water in it evaporating. The smoky flavor in her mouth intensified as she ran her tongue along the underside of his shaft, which she found utterly fascinating.

  His hips thrust upwards, his hands pressing down, and she almost gagged. Immediately his touch gentled slightly, allowing her to pull up… and she went right back down again, this time prepared and with her throat relaxed so she could take him deeper. As if in reward, his tail began pumping in and out of her pussy like he was fucking it, making her gasp and moan around his cock as she began to suck harder.

  The more his tail fucked her pussy, the more her body heated, the more ravenously she tried fit his entire dick in her mouth. It was a dirty, filthy compulsion, one which she had no desire to fight.

  The tapered length of his tail was driving her to distraction; it lashed inside of her, making movements that his cock couldn’t possibly duplicate, and yet it wasn’t nearly enough to get her off either. The thick length moved and rippled, making her muscles try to clamp down around it, but it wasn’t the kind of steady rhythm that could actually bring her to climax.

  Jules’s sexual desperation transmuted itself to her eager sucking, her cheeks hollowing as his rumbling moans filled the air.

  If her mouth wasn’t full, she would have been begging him to fuck her, but for some reason instead of lifting her head to do so she just slid her mouth down his shaft, taking him deeper every time until her lips touched his groin. Tarrik jerked underneath her, his fingers tightening in her hair… and then he pulled her up and off of his cock, leaving her gasping and almost frantic as she reached for him.

  Flipping her onto her back, his tail slid out of her pussy as he lowered himself atop her.

  ******

  Although Juliette’s touch was cool and sweet against his heated skin, Tarrik felt like he was burning up from the inside. Her enthusiastic suckling had nearly undone him, but he hadn’t wanted to cum in her sweet mouth… no, he wanted to be buried deep inside of her again, feeling her muscles spasming around him as she came all over his cock.

  Her fingers trailed up the back of his neck and to the base of his horns, sending a shudder of extreme pleasure through his body. Snatching her wrists, he pushed them down on the bed on either side of her head, practically growling as his cock pressed against the slickness of her pussy.

  “Are they sensitive?” she asked, eyes wide with surprise. Tarrik had enjoyed her holding onto them while he’d been licking her last night, but she had been using them as handholds, not as a way to arouse him even further. He sure as hell didn’t need to be further aroused.

  “Only at the base,” he replied, before lowering his mouth to hers, taking her lips in a searing kiss as he began to push inside of her.

  She was incredibly wet and soft from being fucked by his tail, her body eager to welcome him in, and she cried out against his kiss as he thrust in deep and hard.

  Burying himself inside of her, he pressed down on her wrists, holding her hands in place as he ravaged her mouth and began a slow, steady pace in and out of her pussy. Ignoring her small cries of urgency, he kept her pinned as her legs wrapped around the backs of his, her heels digging in to urge him onwards. In their current positions, she had no hope of controlling his pace, but he enjoyed her attempt.

  His palms slid against hers, fingers sliding between hers, and he stretched her arms up above her head. Arching beneath him, her hard nipples rubbed against his chest, and her pussy clamped down around him. Tarrik knew the heat of his body would feel painfully good against the sensitive buds.

  Releasing her from the kiss, he hunched over, his wings spreading fully over them as he began to kiss and suck at her breasts, laving his tongue over her nipples and enjoying the way she panted and writhed for him.

  “Tarrik, please… don’t torture me,” she begged. “Just fuck me!”

  He’d really rather do both.

  His tail crept up, finding the crease of her buttocks and the tight little star nestled between them. Tarrik felt more than heard her swift intake of breath as the tip of his tail began to push into that narrow ring, stretching her open.

  “Oh nova stars…” Her words came out sounding half strangled as his tail pushed deeper. Tarrik could feel its tapered length moving inside of her against the underside of his cock as he continued his slow, grinding thrusts in and out of her pussy while his tail filled her ass. “Tarrik… oh fuck yes…”

  He groaned around a mouthful of breast flesh as her body tightened down pleasurably around him. Oh yes, his Juliette was a dirty fucking gi
rl and he loved it.

  ******

  For the love of all that was sinful… that tail.

  It was narrow enough at the tip, but the deeper it thrust in, the wider her entrance was opened. The burn of her muscles stretching was intensified by the heat of the appendage as it began pumping in the same maddening rhythm as his cock, alternating thrusts and making her want to scream with the utter ecstasy of it all.

  Jules was not an anal virgin, but it had been a long time and the last time she’d allowed a guy to try… well it hadn’t been fun.

  This hurt too, but it hurt so good. She was pinned down, ravished, taken in both holes… it was her hentai fantasies come true… the only thing that could make it better was if her mouth was full too.

  As if he could hear her thoughts, Tarrik left her breasts swollen and throbbing and returned to her lips for a kiss, thrusting his tongue into her mouth. His hard, hot body rubbed against hers, searing her sensitive skin and her nipples felt like they were being scalded as they rubbed against his chest.

  His hands holding her down made her feel completely dominated, and yet under the spread of his wings, their bodies joined together in every way possible, she felt totally safe. Protected. Even cherished.

  He wasn’t just in this to get his own orgasm. He wasn’t after her submission for the fun of it. No, Jules was starting to understand that Tarrik truly wanted to pleasure the ever-loving-fuck out of her and he wasn’t going to stop until he achieved his goal.

  She writhed beneath him, so full of him, so enveloped by his heat that she could scarcely tell where she ended and he began anymore. The thrust of his tail into her ass went deeper, making her feel fuller than ever as his cock pushed inside of her, his body grinding against her swollen folds and clit. The scorching heat made her scream against his lips as her orgasm began to rise, her body clenching down around him.

  Tarrik began to fuck her harder, faster, his tail and cock no longer completely in tandem with each other. The wildness of it spiraled around her, taking her higher as she began to practically sob with the intensity of the exquisite torment. Her thighs tightened around his pumping hips, trying to hold him in place as she began to come, her body jerking against his, clenching around his.
