Pyrr
From the moment, she first stood naked before me, I admired her beautiful body---large full breasts and curved hips and long shapely legs. Her short-cropped hair drew attention to her beautiful face and large green eyes. I was so hard for her as I knelt between her parted thighs and looked down, drinking in the sight of her, open and ready for me to take her.
She smiled up at me, licked her soft, full lips, and held her arms up invitingly. I lowered myself on all fours and leaned down to kiss her lovely lips. She didn’t seem to mind that I tasted of her juices.
“I’m ready,” she whispered.
“Me, too,” I whispered and lowered my cock to her entrance, sliding easily inside. It was a tight fit, but she was so wet there was little resistance. I started to fuck her slowly and gently, trying to make it last. I couldn’t hold back. Without conscious thought, I was ramming my cock deep into her hard and faster.
“Oh, God, yes!” she cried out and gripped my buttocks like she was trying to pull me in deeper.
It was far more than just sharing sex. I kept thinking of Scarlett as mine even though I was not claiming her---yet. Fucking a woman never felt so good. I wanted it to go on and on, but she took me to that summit of exquisite pleasure, and we sailed into bliss as her inner walls contracted around my cock in her orgasmic rhythm. I throbbed inside her, and her walls squeezed me in response.
I kissed her mouth and slid my tongue between her lips to lay claim to it as well. She caressed my back and pressed me to her, rubbing her breasts against my chest as if to claim me as well. Ah, yes, she would be mine. It would just be a matter of time.
It felt so good to be on her and in her with her arms around me. I raised myself up on my forearms so I could look into her eyes. She reached up and stroked my cheek with the backs of her fingers, her eyes shone with tenderness.
“No one ever made me feel as good as you just did, Pyrr, you are awesome,” she said.
“We are solmatu,” I told her. “We are meant to be mated. Can’t you feel the connection between us?” I stared into her eyes willing her to feel the same force I felt drawing me to her.
“I’m beginning to,” she murmured. “I feel a connection with you that I’ve never felt with anyone before not even my fiancé.”
“Your mate who was killed?”
“Yes, but we weren’t mated yet in the sense you mean. We were committed to becoming mates. We call it marriage.”
“Courting?” I thought I understood what she meant. “Will you accept my courting you?”
“Yes,” she whispered and kissed me lightly on the mouth, “only you.”
I kissed her back with renewed passion, and she hummed her pleasure, arching her back to rub her breasts again my chest. I was getting hard again, so I started thrusting in and out of her slowly. Scarlet made a soft sound of approval in her throat and raised her hips to meet my thrusts, hugging my cock with her inner walls. Gods, she felt good.
After sharing sex again, we dressed and went to the mess hall for second meal as we had missed first meal. While we were eating, two of Scarlet’s Earth friends stopped to speak with her. They teased her that she hadn’t gone “home” last night.
“Well, I shouldn’t have mocked Harper about hooking up with the commander,” she said and laughed. “Pyrr and I have discovered that we are solmatu. We are courting now so don’t expect me tonight, either.”
“I guess this means you’re staying with the company,” Nora remarked. “I guess if you and Harper are staying, I am too. Halor sounds nice and all, but there are no Earth people there---no humans.”
“And these guys are more like us than some of the others. They seem nice enough, but I don’t think we would fit in that well on Halor,” Zoey added.
“Maybe, Pyrr has some friends he could introduce to us,” Nora said, looking at me.
I smiled at her. She and Zoey were certainly attractive though a bit smaller than most Uatu women. Our people favored solmatu mates. “You haven’t met all of our company yet, I will tell them they should come meet you.”
“We’d like that,” Zoey said. “We’re getting bored just hanging out in the conference room. It’s crowded, and there is no privacy.”
“That’s only for a couple more weeks until we get to Halor. Most of the females will be staying there at least until they can get passage back to their homeworlds,” I explained. “The commander thinks we have enough empty cabins so you and the others who are staying can each have one.”
“Unless we find a nice soldier like you to share one with?” Zoey said.
“Yes, but they will only share if you are solmatu,” I added.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Zoey frowned. “I’m not going to hook up with just anyone. It’s gotta be serious.”
“Most of our men and women have never mated because we have been at war. Those who have are solmatu. Some of our kind never find their soul mate. They may choose a mate for procreation, but some never do and have vowed not to.”
“It sounds like there won’t be any procreating any time soon,” said Nora.
“Not with what we have ahead of us. A warship is no place for children. Only solmatu can have their mates with them here. They must leave the company if they are procreating.”
“There is not going to be any procreating for this girl anytime soon---solmatu or not,” Zoey asserted.
“Anyway, the commander said if we stay, we have to learn a skill to help support your mission,” Nora said. “I am a nurse. Once we get proper language implants, I can start learning current medical practices.”
“I want to be in the company,” Scarlet told them. I was not keen on that plan, but I wouldn’t oppose her on it. All the females would be tested once their language implants integrated. “What about you Zoe?”
“I don’t know where my skills as a fitness instructor are going to fit in here. I like working with people,” she said. “I guess I will find out after we take the aptitude tests.”
“Well, we’re going to get some food. We just wanted to be nosey and meet the guy who took you away from us,” Nora teased. “We’ll see you later.”
The two women went and joined the self-serve line while Scarlet and I continued eating in silence mostly because we were pretty hungry after sharing all that sex and missing first meal. I was hoping we could go back to my cabin after eating and share some more.
From what the commander told me, their mating practices were a little different than ours. Uatu women simply accepted solmatu and consented to mate almost immediately. Very few women resisted solmatu. The commander had been worried that Harper would resist because she is an alien, but she didn’t.
Scarlet wasn’t exactly resisting, she said that her people had an unwritten rule that they should not share sex until after the third date. Of course, I never heard of the term used to describe courting, but she explained it as occasions to recreate together---courting. But she couldn’t hold out and wait for the three dates to share sex. The bonding pheromones make that very difficult once we touched skin to skin. I assured her she was not acting “slutty” because she didn’t resist. Solmatu are not expected to resist mating. It is an honorable union like Earth marriage.
Using the barrier to contain my seed is not particularly a hardship while sharing sex. The film is so thin that I hardly feel it when my cock is inside her. I just want to consummate the mating to seal our commitment. I am growing to love her almost as much as I want her. She has at least committed to staying and consented to our courting, so I feel it’s only a matter of time before we complete the solmatu vow.
I could wait. There would be weeks to court her and share sex to convince her. But as far as I was concerned, Scarlet was already mine.
I did spend the rest of the day in my cabin sharing sex and dozing with Scarlet in between. We went to the mess hall late because we wanted to be mostly by ourselves. On our way back to my cabin, we saw Zoe walking toward the rec room with Tahvoe Brintu, a good friend. I suspected she was his solmatu by his expression. Perhaps Scarlet’s other friend would be claimed as well.
It was a good thing that duty the next day entailed armor and weapons maintenance because I had to force myself to concentrate on my tasks. I caught myself daydreaming like a kid who had shared sex for the first time. But, I also worried that Scarlet would yet deny my claim on her. I needn’t have worried because when I met her for the evening meal, she was genuinely happy to see me.
Afterward, back in my cabin, she was as eager to share sex as I was. I did understand her reluctance to make a commitment after what had happened to her previous lover, but one takes the risk of loss anytime they enter into a relationship. Solmatu mates never estranged themselves. That only happened in consented matings.
Of course, I could not promise I would not be taken from her in battle, but now I had so much more to live for than I has after the destruction of our homeworld and our people.
