I watch Caia’s hips sway with every step. It is the loveliest sight in the entire universe.

If we die here, on this cursed ship, then I can die a happy man. I have found my mate. The kiss, that magical kiss, sealed it.

The energy I felt was unbelievable. Indescribable. I saw colors more vidid than I could have ever imagined. I felt stronger than ever before, my entire body brimming with energy, with love, with... lust.

My animalistic side wanted to take her right there and then, but I resisted. Now, I don’t know how much longer I can keep my inner animal at bay.

We are all alone, with an entire night to kill.

“I think this is the place,” Caia says as she slowly pushes a door open. It’s like we’ve entered an entirely different ship, simply by descending a few levels.

The floor is covered in red carpet. The walls are adorned with paintings. The doors are covered with gold.

This is the type of luxury that only a select few individuals get to enjoy. And it seems that, at least for the night, we are one of them.

“Look at this place,” Caia gasps as she goes from room to room with her mouth hanging open. “Amazing.”

“It was built with dirty money,” I say. “From resources stolen, from people exploited.”

Caia frowns at me. “I know that, but did you have to remind me of that right away?”

“Yes,” I smirk. “Yes, I do.”

“What about this room?” Caia asks. “It looks nice.”

The massive bed, big enough for four Zorans, catches my attention. “Yes,” I agree. “It will do nicely.”

She sits down on the edge of the bed and pats the seat next to her. I join her there, and wrap my arm around her waist. She leans down and rests her head on my shoulder.

“How are you feeling?” I ask.

“I’m scared”, she says.

“Me too,” I answer.

She glances up at me.

“I am happy I met you, Leto, no matter what happens.”

I feel a lightness in my chest. “Me too,” I answer. “You are the light of my life, Caia. I am a better person for having met you.”

I lean down and kiss her. She surrenders herself to me, her lips parting slightly as my tongue enters her mouth.

All the thoughts of death and destruction fade away as I grab the back of of her neck and just kiss her, for minutes on end.

Outside, stars pass us by. There’s an entire universe out there, but none of it matters to us. In this moment, it’s just her and me.

She opens her eyes and rests her hands on my chest.

“Do you love me, Leto?” She asks. “No matter what happens?”

I growl affirmatively. “I love you with every fiber of my being. You mean more to me than the world itself. Do you not feel this connection?”

The hairs on my arms are standing up straight, as if an electric current runs right through me.

“I do,” she says resolutely. “More than anything. And it scares me, a little bit. I’ve never trusted anyone so fully and completely. What if we fail? What if we… die?”

“Those are questions I don’t have the answer to,” I say, my thumb brushing her cheek. “As hard as it is, right now we’ve got to focus on the things we can control.”

“And what’s that?”

I drop my hand from her cheek down to her waist.

“We control ourselves.”

I pull her in close and kiss her, nipping at her bottom lip.

“We control our bodies.”

A smirk appears on her beautiful face. “That we do.”

“Then let’s use that control to make the world a more pleasant place,” I say as my hand cradles her lower back.

She leans into me and returns my kiss passionately.

I slide my hands up her shirt, and enjoy the soft sensation of her skin. She hums approvingly, and suddenly, the beast inside of me is released.

I must have her.

Now.

I push her back onto the bed forcefully, my hands pinning her wrists down as I climb on top of her.

“What are you doing?” She laughs, a wide smile on her face.

I kiss her neck hard, and gently nip at her collar bone.

“Taking what is mine,” I growl.

I practically rip her shirt and bra off. She is suddenly self-conscious, folding her arms over her chest, a shy smile on her lips.

“I…” She starts.

“You are beautiful,” I say, as I take in the sight of her beautiful form. My hands move to her pants, unbuttoning them quickly. She crosses her legs, but there is no stopping me.

“Take off that armor,” she pleads. “I want to see you.”

Before she’s even finished her sentence, my armor drops to the floor with a heavy thud. The rest of my clothes follow suit.

Caia’s eyes grow wide as she looks at my perfect, naked frame.

“Holy… you are so… big.”

I grab the base of my cock and stroke myself gently as my eyes feast on the sight in front of me.

“It is all because of you,” I say. “You are the most beautiful… the most sexiest damn woman I’ve ever seen.”

“Am not,” she says. “I’m just…”

“Remove your hands,” I say. “Let me see them.”

With a shy smile she moves her hands out of the way, exposing her full, round breasts to me. I take a step closer as I stroke myself.

“See how hard you make me?”

Caia nods, biting her bottom lip. She arches her back and presents herself to me. I take another step forward and rest my turquoise cock on her milky white breasts. The touch sends a pleasing sensation right through me, from my scalp down to my toes.

We are truly Chosen, her and I. I now know the ancient rites, the prophecies of the Sacred Order — they are all true.

I never figured I’d have that realization while I spread my precum all over a human female’s breasts, while I rubbed the golden, shimmering head of my cock against her hard, swollen nipples, but here I am.

I wouldn’t have it any other way.

She looks mesmerized by my throbbing hardness. Her hands slowly move to encircle my Zoran rod. The tips of her fingers don’t touch one another as she holds my weight, as she feels my hardness, as she strokes my alien cock.

“I’ve never seen anything like this…” She mumbles, completely spellbound.

As much as I am enjoying the sensation of her worshipping me, there’s something I want to do even more.

Taste her.

I push her down onto her back and sink to my knees in front of her. My thumbs hook into the side of her jeans and I slowly slide them down.

Every passing second more of her pale skin comes into view, and my cock grows harder and harder.

“What are you doing?” She asks, her voice quivering.

“You’ll see,” I growl as I grab her thighs and push them up, making her body readily available to me.

I take a deep sniff of her panties, and her face turns as red as a beet.

“Wh-what are y-you,” she stammers again, but it turns into a moan when I drag my tongue across her panties, feeling the curves of her wet folds hidden just below the thin fabric.

“Oh fuck,” she pants as I pull her underwear to the side and let my eyes feast upon her pinkness. I’ve never seen anything so beautiful, or smelled something so delightful, so erotic, so perfect.

I lean back for a quick second in order to take her panties off. Now she is completely naked, completely vulnerable, completely mine.

My tongue dives in, her wonderful taste filling me completely. My fingers dig into the soft skin of her thighs and ass as my tongue enters her, as I find her swollen nub and devour it whole.

Caia is all moans and curses, her hands moving to my neck and my hair, her nails scraping my skin as I bring her higher and higher.

I slide a finger inside of her, first one, and then two. She is so damn wet it fits easily, and her moans become even more erratic, her legs trembling from sheer pleasure.

“Leto, I’m going, I’m going to…”

“Yes,” I growl. “Cum! Cum for me!”

“I’m going to! Oh fuck, I’m, I’m! Ah!”

Caia cries out my name as she orgasms, her entire body shaking, her toes curling up as I double down on her swollen clit, my fingers inside of her cunt, my tongue flicking against her, never stopping, never giving her a moment’s respite.

Only when I am well and truly satisfied with her screaming my name in orgasmic pleasure do I relent, and smirk up at her, her juices on my face.

“Hurry up and fuck me,” she pants.

It’s like she can read my mind.
