Chapter 7

 

Claiming Her

 

 

 

This was it. She’d agreed and now it was time. His gums itched and excitement coursed through him. There would be no turning back after this, not for either of them. They were in her room. It was neat, uncluttered, and the bed was made, but it wouldn’t stay that way long. He started to strip throwing his clothes on a trunk that was at the foot of the bed.

Hopefully she wouldn’t think him a slob. Military training had ingrained at least a sense of keeping things in order in him. She was more careful with her clothing which was why he was naked and watching her toss her clothing in hamper and set her boots in her closet. When she looked up to see him watching, her face turned pink.

“Just a habit to put things where they belong.” She explained.

“You belong on your bed with me.” He directed. Nothing was on his mind except the woman he was about to mate.

She came to him until they were close enough to touch. Her scent was alluring, not that he wasn’t already hard as a stone and his heart was beating like crazy. His breathing was rapid as he reached out to touch her. This woman was everything to him and she would be his future. Pulling her to him gently, he dropped his lips to hers to claim his one and only.

His tongue licked the seam of her lips until she opened up and let him in. It ran along her flat dull teeth exploring them. He wondered if sharper ones would develop after the mating. Next his tongue met hers and dueled with it almost like a game. She would never win in a game of dominance but he moved on to discover every nook, cranny, and even the roof of her mouth. After all, she was his.

Meanwhile his hands roamed over her body stopping at her soft breasts with the hard pointed nipples. She wasn’t a large woman and her breast were appropriate for her size. Just a handful, but he’d heard that was all that was needed and he agreed. Her skin was a creamy white, pale as he’d never seen before and her breasts were pink tipped. All he wanted was to taste them and suck them into his mouth so he did. First with his tongue, then he sucked them, in gently at first then harder.

She moaned making a drop of cum form on the tip of his cock. Gods, she made him so horny. Another word he’d learned from the Earth movies Patty played often. All that he’d learned when he and Oak had been around Patty would help him understand his mate, hopefully. Nothing was as important to him as pleasing her. He continued to suck her breasts switching from one to the other. The way she whimpered and moaned let him know they were sensitive. It was time to move lower.

His tongue licked a path down to her bellybutton rimming it before going further. Once the landing strip was in site his mouth began to water. Her sweet scent hit his nose hard. It reminded him of the last time he had tasted her delicious honey. He moved so he could put his nose right in her center breathing in deeply. Yes! This was just where he wanted to be. Tasting her was all he wanted to do. His tongue whipped out fast catching her juice and savoring it.

Her moan delighted him. His tongue licked her slowly getting more of her honey to enjoy. A finger moved up to plunge inside her as his tongue moved to her little bundle of nerves to circle it. The whimpers and moans that came from her drove his need higher. That they were about to mate forever made his excitement even stronger. His gums tingled as he fought to keep his fangs down until the time was right. They could hurt his mate if they cut her.

Soon her passion would erupt, she would find her first release, and he would get a mouthful of her sweet juices. She was moving around and arching up against him. Her fingers were wrapped in his hair holding his face against her center. He now had two fingers inside her and added another as his tongue worked her clit faster than ever. Her moans grew louder as she began to thrash. Liquid honey hit his tongue in a gush of release.

Once he licked up most of it, he slid up her body impaling her on his rigid staff. Her pussy clenched it tight still caught up in the aftermath of her climax. Gods, it felt amazing! He began to pump in and out of her sweet pussy feeling so good it was indescribable. His mate was everything to him. The rhythm he set was fast as it drove them both closer to their orgasm. Once achieved, he’d be ready to join them forever.

While he kissed her, it wasn’t a deep kiss because his fangs refused to retract now. His whole body was aware of what was about to happen. Excitement even beyond what sex could give washed over him at the thought of claiming his mate. That moment was just seconds away as he felt her begin to tense just before her climax rolled over her. As he struck her neck where it met her shoulder, his orgasm hit him too. The taste of her blood was spicy and sweet.

This joining was everything he’d thought it would be and so much more. A bond began to form and the connection between them was strong and instantaneous. The love filled him, although he’d already felt it. Now it was even stronger. Nothing mattered more to him than she did. As his seed filled her, he held her close drinking in the scent and the feel of his mate.

They were both so exhausted they fell into a deep sleep. When he woke, Mike was up and cleaning her room. He felt good, rested and ready to make love to his mate again if he could pull her away from her cleaning chores.

“How did you get so obsessed with cleaning?” He asked.

She looked up surprised he was awake. “Earth military is strict about keeping quarters clean and watching out for your uniforms and equipment. Believe me, it is not worth letting things go. It’s not like it doesn’t have to be done at some point anyway.”

“I just wanted to make sure you’re not a neat freak or a germaphobe.”

“No. I was trained to be this way.” She admitted. “Since your up and I’ve already showered, why don’t I get dressed and you can shower and dress. Then we’ll go eat breakfast.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

“Why do you use so many Earth terms?”

“We were on a space station with Patty and her mate for a while. She has the coolest parties and shows old Earth movies. You two would like each other.” He explained.

“Patty is the one who runs space stations with her friend?”

“Yes, that’s the one.”

“I’d like to meet her sometime. I’ve heard so much about her.”

“We’ll have to go there sometime when we’re on leave.” Now he rushed to get clean and then dressed. He was actually very hungry.

They headed to the cafeteria. Down days were much like workdays when you were onboard the ship. Everything was well regulated and the choices of places to go were few. They could go to the cafeteria like they were to eat, work out in the gym, stay in their rooms which were somewhat confining, or go to the rec room to play games or watch shows on the screens set up around the room. While they ate, he thought about what they might do.

He’d been onboard longer than Mike so maybe he could show her some less well known areas. “Have you seen the gardens yet?”

“Gardens? Is that where they grow some of our food?” Mike asked.

“It is, but they also have some flowers, herbs, and trees mixed in. They are lovely when certain plants bloom. Their scents can also be pleasant. There’s also a bay that holds aquariums of assorted sea creatures and plants. Some for food and some are interesting to watch.”

“No one mentioned them before.”

“It’s been hectic since you’ve come aboard. Normally new crew member are toured through the whole ship. There’s also a 3D room for entertainment. It’s only one room and often popular with most of the crew. Teresa plans to put in a few more to accommodate everyone.”

“She’s a good leader, so is Flicker.”

“I think we may not have her much longer.”

“Is she leaving?”

“No, but I think they may be enlarging their family.”

“That’s why she wasn’t her usual self the other day?”

“That’s what I believe.”

“How will that effect everything else?”

“Not much. She’ll work a while longer I would guess but she’ll stay onboard. At a certain point, Flicker will insist she stays on Oison and if she wants to work, she does it there. I believe she’ll understand. Wouldn’t you?” He looked to see what her answer would be.

“I suppose so. Honestly, I never thought about it.” She admitted.

“Under the current circumstances, maybe you should. I don’t think they planned the pregnancy so much as they did nothing to prevent it. Maybe that’s a talk we should have had a few days ago.”

“I’m on birth control.” She explained.

“I’m not sure it will work. We normally prevent our seed from getting inside except with our fated mate. That’s just to be completely sure.”

“I’ve never heard that of any race. I guess I should have asked more questions.”

“Would it be so bad if you conceived?” He asked.

“No, I just like to have control of my life and plan for everything.”

“You know it’s impossible to plan for it all, don’t you?”

“Maybe, but I like to try.” Mike admitted. “Where are we headed? I’ve never been here before.”

“This is where the garden is. Follow me.” He led her through the door into a tropical jungle. There were even a few bugs and animals loose inside.

“What are the bugs for?”

“The bees are to pollinate the flowers. The other bugs help break down the scraps and leftovers. Some of the small animals are exotic and look pretty.”

“What the hell was that?”

“The red lizard like creature?”

“Yes, that.” She pointed. It was the size of a cat and seemed quite wild.

“Flicker likes them and they are nearly extinct so when he found some on a raid, they put them in here. They don’t bite and are only dangerous to the bugs. They help keep their numbers where they need to be. It seems to be a good place for them. Their numbers are increasing. If we get many more we’ll release them into their native habitat.”

“It’s pretty in here.”

“I thought I would bring you here to talk. When we get our next leave, I’d like you to come to my parent’s house with me.”

“Are you sure?”

“You’re my mate now. Eventually you’ll have to meet them.” He grinned at her panicked look. “Angel met them and she’s still alive to tell about it.”

She swatted his arm. “Stop picking on me. I don’t think they’re violent. It’s just a big step. I wish you could meet my family but with my parents gone, I don’t know where anyone else is now.”

He pulled her into a hug. “I’m so sorry. I know you miss them. Maybe some of them will get found. Razar or some of the crew from the ships that go to Earth might have word of them.”

“I doubt that. It couldn’t be that easy.”

“There’s talk that in the near future our ship may run Razar to Earth to make another trade. It’s not a secret exactly, but they don’t want too many people to know.”

“That would be great. You do mean this ship and crew?”

“I do. It will be after our next leave. Certain things have to fall into place.”

“I can understand that. Right now let’s just enjoy this beautiful place and a day away from work.” And that’s exactly what they did. It was a good day to be in love.
