CHAPTER FIVE
SAHVIN
For the next ten days, Nora and I barely left her cabin. The effects of the mating pheromone drove us to mate frequently and at length on a daily basis. Even though we were told this would be so, the bond growing between us was profound. I felt like I would do anything possible to make her happy and I would protect her with my life.
As the intense lust meomee recognition waned, we discovered we had much in common. I loved her as my mate, but I liked her as a person as well.
“Before you came to us, I planned to stay on with these Farseekans. We would have been sold as slaves if not for them,” Nora said. “With your military training and law enforcement experience, I think they would welcome you to join them. I would like to stay if you would.”
“Of course, meomee. I feel like I owe it to the Farseek Mercenaries to help free their people as they freed me,” I said, smiling at her, “and brought me here to you.” I leaned over and kissed her as we were sitting on the small sofa in her quarters.
“I’ve missed ten days of training to mate with you,” she went on. “I will have to ask if I can continue and if you can stay and join them.”
“Perhaps we should go together,” I suggested. “Since your friend Harper is Commander Maktu’s solmatu, he should understand that what we share is the same.”
“I’m sure it is, but their bonding didn’t take him away from his duties as ours did us,” she explained. “Your mating pheromones were so strong that everything I ever thought about getting to know a man before mating went out the window.”
“Idiom,” I said, “That’s an idiom---out the window.”
She chuckled and smiled at me. “Yes. But you were on Earth for quite a long time. Normally, humans socialize and get to know a potential mate for weeks or even months before actual mating takes place. Some only mate after marriage. Most don’t mate first then fall in love like we are.”
“Yes, I did come to understand that. It is not all that different for sapiens on Narova. Felines are different except when they mate by consent.” I explained. “Meomee recognition is different. Our bodies give off the pheromones involuntarily beyond our control. It is not always a welcome occurrence.”
“It was very unnerving when it happened,” she said, “but when we fucked for the first time, I knew it was right. It was the best sex of my life.”
She giggled and blushed adorably. I wanted to kiss her, but I knew if I did we would get sidetracked.
“May I use your tablet to com the Commander to set up a meeting with him?” I asked.
“Of course,” she said and went to get it from the table. “I will just set up the call for you. His translator does work for English.”
Nora said the commands and Commander Maktu was available to my surprise.
“Hello, Commander. You may not remember me, but I am one of the men you helped rescue from Breskaa,” I began.
“You are the Narovan,” he replied, nodding in his hologram. “How can I help you?”
“I wish to join you for your mission to free your people. Nora is my equivalent to your solmatu. She wished to stay on mission with her Earth friends, and I wish to be with her because we are meomee. I am a trained soldier and law enforcement agent.” I explained. “I want to help as you have helped me. Also, I don’t want Nora to be punished for missing training because of meomee bonding.”
“That won’t happen. The same regulations for solmatu would apply,” he said. “I will let Sergeant Namotu know that your absence from training is justified. Sahvin, pay a visit to our Medic for an exam to be sure you are fit for duty and for it to determine if a language biochip can be engineered for you.”
“I hope it can,” I said. “The chip I got from the slavers was unbearable. The bastards cut it out with no pain blockers. Barbarians.”
“We got our bio-synthesizer on Halor. They offer some of the best technology in the Consortium. None of the people who receive chips on Halor had any adverse effects.”
“I will do this,” I told him. “And I wish to thank you for getting us out of that hell hole. I was expecting to die there.”
“I’m glad. Welcome, to the Farseek Mercenaries. No sentient being should be a slave to anyone. It would be wrong for us to leave any of you behind to have your lives stolen from you.”
“It will be my honor to assist you in this quest.”
Commander Maktu inclined his head subtly in acknowledgment and added, “Once you become oriented, someone from navigation will be contacting you to have you look at our holographic star charts. Perhaps you can find a familiar point of reference to locate your star system.”
“I will certainly try,” I said.
“My congratulations to both of you. Sergeant Namotu will contact you on when and where you should report,” said the commander who then signed off.
“I thought the commander would understand as he has recently experienced solmatu himself as well as his lieutenant,” Nora said. “I should probably take you up to the medic to make sure that gorgeous body of yours is in tiptop shape.”
She draped her arms around my shoulders and kissed my cheek, hugging me and nuzzling my neck. I pulled her on my lap and kissed her full on the mouth. She parted her lips readily to let my tongue caress hers, and I knew we would not be leaving our quarters for a while.
My cock stirred to attention almost as soon as she put her arms around me. I needed to mate with her to tame it before we went out among the others on the ship. I also needed to satisfy my Nora so she would not be distracted as well when we left our cabin.
