GWEN

The day had been exhausting, and evening loomed in front of me.

Two weeks had passed since we’d booted the pirates off the transport and continued across the galaxy toward Auxem. The pirates were all in jail, and that sector of space was a little bit safer for everyone else. Allex had hidden Priya again. I assumed they were trying to figure out a way to get her out of hiding, but I hadn’t heard of any concrete plans yet.

Anders’ family had decided to make a change to the panic room. They were enlarging it to make space for at least two children and more couples.

Oh, and I had finally figured things out with Anders.

“Mrs. Madellan, come over here.” My husband was speaking to me. He stood on the other side of a bridal suite. The transport had all the rooms necessary for an Auxem wedding and the wedding night. After all, they had ventured out into the stars looking for women who were willing to become brides and mothers.

I wondered with a little burst of excitement how soon I would become a mother. Would we conceive on our first attempt? The idea made me happier than I could have ever imagined.

Anders had his wings on full display. He was wearing black wedding pants, but he didn’t have a shirt on. He noticed me eyeing his wings. “I guess you’re not used to them yet.”

I shook my head. I had only seen them twice.

“What do you think?” He looked a little unsure.

“I love them.” I lightly ran my hand over the feathers.

He shivered and closed his eyes. “Do that again.”

I gently brushed his wings. He drew in a ragged breath. “You won’t have to stop tonight, you know.” He reached out and pushed one of the spaghetti straps on my wedding gown off my shoulder, leaving it bare. “We can go all the way.”

“It’s about time.” It had been a long two weeks. We had spent the days apart. I had insisted there be no physical contact between us, knowing it would be torture.

We hadn’t been able to keep our hands off one other completely, but our interaction had been completely unsatisfying. I was ready to fuck.

I couldn’t wait to bond with him. And it wasn’t all about the sex.

After the marriage, we would be closer than a human couple could ever be, thanks to the life bond. We wouldn’t be able to lie to each other. And apparently, Anders would never want to look at another woman. To be honest, I didn’t think we would need anything to ensure his fidelity. He only had eyes for me. I knew that would never change.

He was different from Jake.

Anders looked anxious. “The first time is going to be intense. We have to do things a certain way, according to custom. And I might not be exactly the way you remember me.”

“I’m getting more and more confused with each sentence.”

“Never mind. You’ll see. Come here and give me a kiss.”

His touch was passionate and intense. I felt overwhelmed by his body, which seemed larger than I remembered. His wings surrounded me as his arms held me close. I could feel his bulge pressing between us. More than anything, I wanted to feel him inside me.

Somehow his hands were on my breasts, but he couldn’t reach them through the dress. “Take your clothes off.” There was a demanding look in his eyes that was new to me. I had seen different sides of him before: the comic, the pilot, and the lover, but I didn’t know what he would be like as a husband.

It turned me on. I began removing my clothes. There were about a thousand buttons on the front of my dress, and they all had to be undone. It was inconvenient, but it was so lovely that I had overlooked any impracticalities. I was regretting that decision now as I undid the tenth button. Anders watched my feverish fingers, his eyes dark with lust.

I wondered if he was going to get impatient and tear the thing off me. The dress had cost a lot of money. I remembered that he had already waited a long time to have me. A few extra minutes wasn’t going to make a difference.

“Did you ever—” I couldn’t complete the thought, cutting myself off before I said the words. I finally finished with the last button and spread the dress apart, revealing a matching bra and panties.

“Let me take a guess. Did I ever think about you when I was jerking off? Of course. I couldn’t help it. I burned for you.”

He wasn’t touching me now, though.

I removed the dress and draped it over a nearby chair.

“I think you have to put it on the altar.”

“Can we dim the lights?” I felt exposed, which I usually didn’t like but now it was making me hot.

He shook his head. I figured it must be against their wedding night rules. “You’re not in control here.”

A spike of lust shot through me.

“Get on the altar.”

He repeated himself in a tone I couldn’t ignore.

I dashed over to the altar while my breasts nearly fell out of the tiny bra which barely covered my nipples. I could feel my scrap of panties getting wet already.

I had seen the altar earlier, but I thought it was just another table. I wondered how I could gracefully climb onto it. Without warning, Anders picked me up and set me on top. It felt like it was made of stone. Having a heavy altar like this on the spaceship was expensive. Every ounce of weight was carefully planned out. Even so, it felt like a slab of rock, and I must have looked like an offering to Anders.

A pulse of energy shot straight into my core, making me gasp. Anders was between my legs, kissing me savagely. He couldn’t contain his pent-up desire any longer. His tongue dived into my mouth, claiming me with every silky touch. Finally, his hand reached up and cupped my breast, making me moan. He groaned when he found material again. He quickly unhooked my bra and tossed it away. He shoved his hands into my panties and ripped them off me, flinging them onto the floor.

I was completely naked now. My pale skin gleamed in the bright light. I felt completely vulnerable. Anders spread my legs and opened me. I had nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. My breasts rose and fell with my harsh, uneven breathing. They looked swollen to me as I arched my back, eager to feel his touch against my skin. He put both hands on my boobs, lifting them a little before gently squeezing.

I watched him without saying a word.

His fingers caressed me, and with every touch, I felt the ache between my legs increasing. He circled the hard, pebbled tips of my breasts, making me go wild with desire. He pinched my nipples a little too hard and elicited a gasp.

I realized I was nude and he was still completely dressed. I longed for him to get things moving but I had a feeling he didn’t want to rush things.

I ran my hands over the smooth muscles of his arms and around his wings. He stepped back, eyes blazing, and dropped his pants to the floor.

I had seen his cock a few times before. He hadn’t looked like that.

“Don’t worry, Gwen.” He looked worried. “Auxem men are a little larger when we have our wings out.” There was nothing little about Anders right now. “You don’t have to be scared.”

“I’m not scared.” It was mostly true. I was aroused...and somewhat frightened that he wouldn’t fit inside me.

“It will fit. It always fits.”

“How would you know?”

“My brothers warned me about it.”

I didn’t want to think about his brothers right then.

“Kiss me again. We’re talking too much.”

We spent the next few minutes making out. His long cock pressed between us, hard and ready to go.

He pulled away and breathed sharply. “I can’t wait any longer.”

“Then don’t.”

With eyes closed in ecstasy, he eased the tip of his cock into me. He was really fucking big. He slid in a little more, spreading and stretching me. When I was ready, he sheathed himself completely, disappearing inside me as our bodies joined into one. He held still for a moment.

But Anders had waited a long time for this, and soon he was moving again. He pulled out and thrust back at a slow, steady pace that had me writhing on the stone. Anders pushed me down, forcing me onto my back. I spread wide for him as he pleasured me.

I felt my climax rising as he rocked into me. I thrashed beneath him. The joy overwhelmed me. My body felt hot all over. My clit throbbed and my nipples were incredibly sensitive. Every thrust took me higher. I squirmed as he plunged into my body, deeper and harder and faster.

“Anders, please.”

He dropped his hand between us and rubbed my clit. The additional stimulation was all I needed to set me off. I screamed as I came. It felt like an explosion.

He called out my name as he pumped into me and filled me. The clenching spasms kept going as if the orgasm would never let me go. I felt a surge of energy flow between us, ending where our bodies joined. My heart had felt full at our wedding, but now I was overflowing with love. I looked up to see him staring at me too. Our eyes locked and I never wanted us to be separated again.

I realized what had happened. We were bonded soulmate. I rested my head back on the altar. I didn’t wonder why he stayed inside me. I found out later it was a requirement of the mating ritual.

If these were the Auxem wedding customs, I was ready to get married every day.

The next time was against the altar again. Anders had barely softened inside me when he pulled out. The action stimulated everything in my core, and I hissed. He stared at me, putting his hands on my soft breasts. I wanted more. I didn’t think I could be ready to go so soon.

“Turn around.” I flipped over, and he pulled me up until I stood. He bent me over the altar. I didn’t know what he was going to do since he had been limp a second ago. I felt something hard push against my opening, and with a single thrust, he was deep inside me. He had said something about his stamina earlier.

I leaned on the altar as he fucked me from behind. His hands were all over my breasts and clit while he pounded into me, bouncing against my soft ass until we both cried out again.

We took a break and fell asleep on the bed, curled around each other. I woke to feel Anders inside me, moving softly and slowly. I don’t know how long we stayed like that before I came apart in his arms.

The fourth time was in the bathtub. We spilled a lot of water. By that point, I could hardly walk. After that, we fell asleep, completely and totally worn out.

We were completely and totally in love too.

ANDERS

The next morning, I woke and saw Gwen lying beside me, spent from our efforts. I pulled her to me. She pressed herself against me, making my morning erection become harder. I was utterly insatiable. Fortunately, she was too. Hot kissing and touching progressed until I couldn’t wait to have her anymore.

I kissed and nipped at her neck while gently prying open her legs to make room for my hips. Gwen lined me up at her entrance. I sank deep inside her, closing my eyes at the pleasure of her wet heat. I pumped into her slowly, watching for signs of her impending orgasm. She arched up, and I took a nipple in my mouth, needing to suck her sweet pink buds.

Soon she was moaning incessantly, and I sped up, pounding her in a frenzy. She let go, coming hard with a shattering release. As soon as she came, I exploded inside her, filling her deep with my seed.

“Anders, each time seems better than the last.”

I had to agree.
