Chapter 5
SHIA HETON
I was in complete shock over my behavior. How the hell did I go from hating this ruthless warrior that had no empathy toward human life to making out with him? It was wrong! I was betraying my own species. I wished that I could take it back.
After he walked out of the living quarters, I was able to get my emotions in check. I guess I kissed him because I had been feeling lonely, lost, and terrified of my situation. Then when he told me about the spawning of the Corillion race, I was completely captivated. I was not expecting to hear something like that from him. But it was the way he was saying it that caught my attention. For some reason, I did not see a ruthless warrior; instead, I saw a sad and sacrificial warrior that had no control over his own destiny, so it was a lot like my situation. He would be dead in a year, and he was willing to sacrifice that in order to keep his species alive. I found some sort of chivalry in that notion. There was honor in it. His self-sacrifice was attractive to me. His lack of fear of death was magnetizing to me.
It made sense why he treated death so casually, how he found it so easy to kill my colleagues on the space station. For him, it was just a part of the cycle and death was very near for him. These Corillion warriors were not born, but were spawned, like some sort of fungus. It was absolutely insane, but it made sense. It made sense why they wanted to spread like a virus.
But it was his looming death that made me want to kiss him. His face had changed when he told me, and I sensed some sort of sadness in him—if the Corillion were capable of sadness. It was that moment of emotion that made me have pity for him. I gave him a pity kiss. But once his lips touched mine, that kiss turned into something more, and that frightened me. It was strange to know that I had the power to keep him alive; all I would have to do is have sex with him. I had one-night stands that meant way less than that in my life.
I couldn't really describe exactly what was going on when he put his arms around me and pressed his lips to mine, but I felt something deep within me. Something sparked inside of me. I began to wonder if the Corillion had some sort of power over human females after kissing us. If they were in fact spawns, then maybe they transferred some sort of spawn particles through their kissing that attached to us, making us want them. It would make sense. It was very much what a viral fungus would do in order to attach itself to a host. It is what it would do in order to make that host carry its offspring. Shit. What had I gotten myself into? This was a lot scarier than I had expected it to be, and now I was in deep.
The rest of the day, I waited around, feeling extreme internal conflict over what I had done. But it was about to get more complicated. Swoosh! The door opened, and Duron walked in fast.
“Hey, look about earlier I was just—” I began to say.
"Let's go,” he said to me.
"What do you mean? Am I being taken to one of your leaders to be a mate?” I asked with fear in my voice.
"No, not that,” he said as he quickly moved me out of the living quarters. He was very tense and quiet as he quickly walked me down the hall. I didn't know what was going on. Finally, he pushed me into a very large room and said, “I'll be right outside.”
I was very confused until I heard, “Shia?”
I turned to see Alexis sitting in a chair and in a beautiful maroon dress. It was luxurious and tied behind her neck, like the green dress I still wore. She was wearing lavish jewelry made of polished rocks, and her hair was tightly braided. She looked clean, refreshed, and happy.
"Alexis!” I said as I ran to her. We hugged each other.
"I was so worried about you. Are you all right? What has happened to you?” I asked her.
"I was worried about you too. I couldn't get any information about where you had been taken. I didn't know if you were still alive or not,” she said to me.
"The same with me too. I am so glad to see you now. I've been so alone,” I said, hugging her again.
"Shia you do not have to worry about me. I'm fine. Actually I'm better than fine,” she said with a big smile on her face.
"What do you mean?” I asked her.
"Baradur. He took me as his mate. At first I was very scared, confused, and of course refused him. He was very patient with me, and we got to know each other. Soon I found myself falling for him more and more each day. Now we are lovers. Now, I love him,” she said to me.
I was completely shocked. “Alexis, are you sure? Have they drugged you? What if they've done something to you to make you fall in love with Baradur without you realizing it?” I said to her.
"No, it is not that. I would know. I am a scientist too, remember? I have been very cautious; it was only once I got to know Baradur that I began to have feelings for him. I am fine, Shia. But as soon as I found out that you were in the care of the commander that took us, I knew that I had to see you. Commander Duron Spaunok arranged it so that I could meet you in private. Not even Baradur knows that I am meeting with you. Tell me what has happened to you. Have you been hurt?” she asked me, looking at me up-and-down.
"No. I have not been hurt. After I left your side, I have just been locked up in the commander's apartment. It is very comfortable and I am treated well and fed well. It is a bit boring, but other than that, I have no complaints,” I said to her.
"And the commander? What has happened with him? What has happened between the two of you?” she asked with the smile on her face.
"Nothing, actually. In fact, he says that I am to be the forever mate of one of the Corillion leaders on another base. That I will be taken to one, probably very soon.”
"No. You must stay here. Is there not another Corillion that you can be with here? I do not want to be here without you,” she said, pleading.
"Alexis, I think you forget that we are captives. Even though you have fallen for Baradur, do not forget that we were taken against our will. I do not have a choice in the matter. If I did, I would have asked to be taken back to Earth. If I had a choice, I would want to be set free; wouldn't you?” I asked her.
"Yes, I suppose you're right. It is easy to forget when you are in love, like I am. This is a very strange situation. I am glad that I got to see you."
"And I you. I feel so much better knowing that you are happy. I feel so much better knowing that you were not hurt. In fact, you seem to be enjoying your new partner,” I said to her with a grin.
"I really am, Shia. Do not worry about me. I am happy.”
“Shia, we must return you back to my quarters before anyone sees,” I heard Duron say as he peeked his head inside the door.
Alexis hugged me tightly. “I will not forget about this, Shia. I will see if I can find out any information about what is to be done with you. I will plead and beg with Baradur for you to remain here and not be sent away. I do not know if I have any pull with him, but I can try. I will try. I promise you that,” she said.
"Thank you, Alexis. I hope we get to speak again soon,” I said, leaving her side. Duron quietly led me back to his living quarters. I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders after seeing Alexis. I did not need to fear for her anymore. I was terrified that she had been treated brutally, and it was relieving to know that she was well. In fact, she looked beautiful and glowing in her beautiful dress. It was as Duron had said: she was being treated with the respect and luxury as the mate of a leader. But I did not think that she would have fallen in love with Baradur. That was a surprise. But after thinking that I too had pushed myself into the arms of one of the Corillion warriors, I guessed it wasn't that hard to believe that she had done the same. They did have sway over us; I didn't know if it was because of my theory about the spores transferred through a kiss or something else. But it had worked on Alexis and I was happy that she was happy. Now I only had to worry about my own fate.
When we finally arrived at the living quarters, I turned to Duron and said, “Thank you very much. Thank you for allowing me to see her. Thank you for helping her arrange to see me. It means so very much to me. I was wrong about you. I thought you were ruthless and heartless, but a ruthless and heartless warrior would not do such a thing for me. It is the one request that I had of you, and you fulfilled it. Thank you.”
"Anything for you, Shia, the human female scientist,” he said quietly to me. His demeanor was soft. His voice was sexy.
He walked to me and put only a few inches between us. I looked up at him. His thick, dark hair framed his strong jaw, and his blue eyes were piercing. I placed my hands on his strong chest over the blue scales. I dragged my hands across his strong chest and abs while I walked in a circle around him. I was getting my fill of every single inch of his body. He sighed.
“Shia, what are you doing? You shouldn’t touch me like that,” he moaned.
“But I want too. I am curious,” I whispered. He threw his head back, enjoying the sensations of my hands. His back was strong and muscular. It was so firm, and I suddenly felt safer than I had in a long time in the presence of this strong, ruthless warrior. He was so strong, I didn’t think that anything could ever hurt him, except for time. I moved in front of him once more. He looked down at me. I smiled as my hands moved up and down his strong chest and abdomen. He bit his lower lip. Then I looked down at his scales and at his six-pack abs. Then I allowed my gaze to go lower to the bulge in his trousers; he was hard. I moved my hand over it. He sucked in a sharp breath of air.
“That feels so good, Shia. I have never been touched like that before,” he said.
It was then that I realized that I was dealing with a virgin. They all were alien warrior virgins, and I suddenly understood why Alexis found this attractive. Sure, they were ruthless warriors when it came to fighting, but when it came to sex, they were shy and unsure of themselves, and that was attractive. I found it very sexy. I moved my hand up and down his shaft through his trousers and he put his hand on the wall next to him to steady himself. I found it sort of fun.
“I don’t know what to do next,” he said breathlessly.
“Kiss me, Duron. Then when you are ready, pick me up and carry me to my bed,” I whispered. He growled a low growl and then placed his lips on mine. I kissed him as I placed my arms hands around his neck. He was so tall, I could barely reach. Then he quickly pulled away from me and picked me up in his arms. I smiled at him. I couldn’t believe I was doing this, but it felt right. I wanted to experience it. I guess a part of me was jealous of Alexis that she had found so much happiness. I wanted that too. I wanted my own Corillion warrior, but I did not want it chosen for me. I wanted control over it, and I wanted it to be Duron Spaunok. He carried me into the room and stopped.
“Lay me on the bed,” I said. He did as I commanded and it felt good to have control over this ruthless commander. I was commanding him for a change. He gently lay me on the bed and then stepped away and looked at me. I sat up in bed on my knees. I untied the green dress from behind my back and let it fall to my waist. My bare breasts were exposed for him to see. My nipples were hard and erect. He gasped, and then came to me. He laid his body on top of mine and kissed my lips. His large hands cupped my breasts in his hands, massaging them. Then his mouth moved over them and I knew that his primal instinct was taking over. He kissed and licked my nipples softly. He was a skilled lover without having any experience at all. I wondered if nature had designed them to be delicate with making love to humans because they were too heavy and strong to not be otherwise. They could injure us, and that is not what nature would want. It would go against the purpose of mating.
His hands slid up and down the sides of my body. He stopped and grabbed the dress in his hands and pushed it over my hips, down to my ankles. He pulled it off my feet and then threw it on the floor. He kissed my legs and slowly made his way up my body, kissing every single inch of me until he was kissing my lips. I moved my hands up and down his firm body, feeling the scales under my hands. It was so exotic to be with an alien male warrior. I never thought I would be here, but it was too tempting to pass up. This was more than just sensual passion; I was going to save his life.
Duron stopped kissing me and then looked at me. I realized why when he said, “What else? What do you like? What feels good to you?”
I smiled and pushed him away from my body. I put my feet flat on the bed and brought my knees up toward the ceiling and opened up for him. He looked directly at my center as I put my hand on it and began to massage. “Like this; this feels good,” I said.
He growled and then replaced my hand with his. He massaged my center and when his fingers moved over my clitoris, I yelled out, “Yes, there. That feels good. Don’t stop doing that.”
He followed and obeyed my orders. He massaged my clitoris softly until I was finally yelling out, “Oh god. I’m going to release. Don’t stop, Duron. I’m almost there!” Then I felt the pulsations flood my body. It was unlike any orgasm I had ever had. I felt it through my entire body as I shuddered on the bed.
“Are you all right, Shia?” he said softly.
“Yes, yes,” I said breathlessly.
“Good,” he said as he placed his lips on mine. I kissed him between heavy breathing, and we were not done yet. I couldn’t wait to get him naked. I pushed him away and said, “Take your boots and clothing off.”
“Yes, Shia,” he said as he stood up and pulled off his weapon belt. Then he pulled off his heavy boots and pulled down his trousers to his ankles and kicked them off. My mouth fell open at the sight of his glorious warrior body. His thick, hard cock was standing straight up. It was perfectly smooth and pink in hue. It was so long. His blue scales moved down the right side of his body, over his right hip.
“Is everything all right? Why do you have your mouth open like that, Shia,” he asked as he looked down at his own cock.
I laughed and said, “I’m just in shock because you are so beautiful.”
“Not as beautiful as you are,” he said as he moved onto the bed, hovering over me. I opened my hips wide for him and wrapped my hand around his warm cock. He gasped and growled at the same time. “You feel wonderful,” he said.
“Here, I will show you,” I said as I placed the tip of his cock in my opening. He growled. “Now move closer to me. Push yourself inside of me very slowly,” I said.
“Are you sure? I will hurt you. You are small and delicate,” he said.
“Go slow. I will guide you. If you hurt me, I will tell you to stop,” I said as I put my hands on his strong muscular ass and pushed him inside of me. “Oh yes!” I whispered as he moved inside of me with his thick cock. He felt so good, and the slight roughness of his scales against the inside of my thigh was intoxicating. He slowly went deeper, inch by inch, and he moaned and breathed heavily as he did so. Then he was finally all the way inside of me.
“Okay, now move back and forth inside of me,” I said as I put my hands on his hips and showed him and to move back and forth.
“Oh! Oh!” he whispered as he did so. “I didn’t think it would feel this good,” he said breathlessly.
“Faster,” I said. Soon Duron had the hang of it and was moving on his own. His strong chest was in my face as he loomed far above me at his height. I placed my hands on his scales and opened up my thighs wider for him. I was going to release again.
“Yes, yes, that feels good, Commander. I’m going to release again. Don’t stop doing exactly what you’re doing right now. I’m almost there,” I said.
He continued to move and growl louder and louder. He was such an animal and I was enjoying every second of it. Then I released again, pouring my warm juices all over his cock. He moaned. “I can feel you on me, Shia.”
“Yes, you did that. Having you inside of me made me do that,” I whispered.
He moved faster and faster and kept on going for a long time. I kissed his chest and licked it. I moved my hands up and down his strong back and wrapped as much of my legs as I could around him. He was so large that he dwarfed me under him. Finally, after a long while, he tensed. “I think I am going to release too,” he said.
“Yes, don’t stop. Keep going. Let yourself get lost in the feeling. It feels good, doesn’t it?” I whispered.
“Yes, yes, Shia,” he whispered. Then I felt his warmth flow through me as his body tensed up and he released inside of me. I couldn’t describe what I felt in that moment, but I did feel bound to him. I felt like we were now one. It was such a feeling that I had never experienced with any man . I felt so damned turned on and desirable by having him inside of me. I couldn’t get enough of him. I wanted more and more of him.
When he rolled off of me, he was stunned. “That is mating?” he asked.
“Yes, that is mating. On Earth, we simply call it fucking or making love, but yes, that is what it feels like.” I laughed at his innocent way of putting it into words. It was this innocence that was so adorable to me. It was so unexpected from this ruthless warrior, and I liked being surprised by it. I felt like the dominant one now. It felt good, and gave me some sense of control.
“That is the most unbelievable feeling I have ever experienced. It is better than being in command of a thousand battleships,” he smiled.
“Yes, yes it is,” I said to him.
He put his arm on me, and the other on my hair, and said, “The color of your hair. It is different. You are different. You are a special human female, Shia.”
“You don’t get too many redheads out here, I assume,” I said.
He laughed and then we lay there together in silence. It felt good that I had saved his life by having such explosive sex with him. It was an indulgence on my part too, and that was obvious when I made love to him again and again. The second and third times would not save his life, only the first, but I could not get enough of him.
