Knight in Shining Alien?: Athrian Warriors Book One (7 page)

She felt like she should be able to rise above this since she was gonna be a momma herself, but she had never expected to be one. She knew how her momma acted when someone threatened her. It was fierce and a little scary. She had a wonderful example in her momma’s actions, so why was she having such a hard time deciding?

She felt Jarrek return and then the mattress dipped as he straddled her legs. She felt herself tense up. Why hadn’t she covered herself up while he was gone? She was lying on the bed with nothing but her panties on. She really was losing her mind, if she was comfortable showing off the cellulite in her ass and thighs. She started to turn over so she could at least get her ass covered up, but Jarrek completely sat on her legs to stop her movement.

“Easy little bird. You are fine and I am just going to help you relax a little.”  He could already see the tension in her body. Watching that message had been a mistake. He could see that now. He only wanted to know how to handle the Krakill eggs with her genetic makeup. She had insisted on watching those horrible scenes. She had handled herself better than he thought.

He was quite proud of the indomitable spirit she showed in adversity. She would need it when she was his Queen, but some acts of violence did not need witnessing. Varill had been uncharacteristically kind in not letting her feel or remember her rape. That was the only thing for which Jarrek was grateful. Now it would be his job to take her away from those images. He should have just spanked her ass when she had gotten demanding.

Smoothing oil on her back in long smooth strokes, he made sure to cover her entire back, shoulders and arms. Pouring more into his hand, he set the bottle aside and briskly rubbed his hands together to heat the oil. Once he felt the oil heated enough, he started at the base of her spine and circled up to her shoulders using firm circular motions.

“Ohhhhh. God, Jarrek. That is sooo good.” Hearing her moan was wreaking havoc with his cock, but he was determined to concentrate on Hailey’s pleasure.

Jarrek massaged her shoulders and down each arm. Seeming to pull all the tension right out of her body into her fingertips and then away from her entirely. He was a master and she was a pile of goo under his hands.

“That feels so wonderful, Jarrek. Thank you.”

“Oh little bird. I am just getting started.” Jarrek told her and then slid further down her body. Pulling her panties down and off her body in a subtle move that barely shifted his relaxed mate, Jarrek grabbed the bottle of oil again. Drizzling the oil up both legs and let a generous portion pool along the seam of her ass. Warming his hands, he started working on her calves and feet. Drawing moan, groans, sighs and gasps from her were like a melody to his ears. Her body was his instrument and he was learning to create a symphony for the ages.

He gently pulled apart her legs and worked on her thighs. Reaching the bottom of her beautiful ass, he slipped his thumbs along the lips of her pussy toward her little nub before he began to trace her lips back to her ass. Digging in his thumbs, he grabbed her cheeks and began to knead them, exposing her rosette to his hungry gaze. He would take her there one day. Not today, but in the very near future. His cock was in serious need of attention.

Right now Hailey only needed his love and attention. He would show her that he was right for her by showing her with his actions that no matter what was done to her body against her will; it would never change his undying devotion to her. She had said she felt unclean and wanted to scrub her skin off; he wanted to show her that she was perfect and unsullied by the rough treatment of Varill. A male, no matter the species, or size, had no right to seize by force. A hundred Krakill could have touched her body or even shoved their cocks into her and it would change nothing. It broke his heart, it made his blood boil and made him crave the blood of those who had harmed her, but she was his cherished little bird, and he would show her in his worship of her body.

Gently turning her over, her body so relaxed as to be near sleep, Jarrek began at her feet again and worked his way up. His movements were slow and easy, opening her legs and spreading the lips of her pussy to show the glistening dew of her arousal. The scent of her pussy drifted up to him and he paused a moment to take a deep breath. She smelled so wonderful. He had to taste her.

He was salivating at the idea of lapping the honey straight from her well. Lowering himself on to his stomach, he framed her cunt with his hands. She was almost hairless. Just a small patch of hair lay at the top of her pussy like a crown. Her lips were puffy and dark, wet with her arousal. Gently pulling her lips open, he got his first look at the tender center. She was flushed a deep pink on the tips of her lips and went to a deep red at the center of her clit. He could feel his little bird stir when he blew hot air against her exposed clit.  

“Um, Jarrek. I'm not really comfortable with you down there. I would prefer you let me have a shower first. I mean I don't really like oral pleasure. Sometimes I got a tingle, but for the most part I would rather give than receive.” Trying to close her legs as she felt her cheeks heat up in embarrassment, Hailey tried to stop Jarrek from putting his face any closer to her pussy.

“I don't know the last time I was able to get a shower in, so I can't guarantee the freshness, ya know? God this is embarrassing. Thanks for the massage, really.  I feel much better, but I would prefer to stop now.” Hailey struggled to get into a position where she could sit up and close her legs completely, but she was stopped by Jarrek's tongue licking a path straight up her slit.

“Oh holy fuck!” Hailey exclaimed and fell back against the bed. His tongue felt amazing. Forget a little tingle. He had just given her a full-blown zing. “Well maybe you can do that for a few moments then.” Hailey said as Jarrek parted her lips and tasted the inside of her pussy.

Jarrek had never tasted anything as wonderful as the honey Hailey produced. He was going to make her his main meal for the next eight thousand years. He spent several minutes just nibbling along her lips, making sure to touch every inch of her skin. He flicked her clit, and slid two fingers inside her cunt. She felt so smooth and silky, stretching his fingers in a V; he turned them around and crooked his fingers. He explored the contours of her cunt, loving how she squeezed his fingers.

It would be a tight fit when they joined, but he relished the idea of her muscles strangling his cock.  He rubbed  and touched the inside of her vagina, finding all the little places that made her moans increase, or made her wiggle to get deeper before pulling his fingers free. Sliding his hands under her ass, he tilted her cunt up to his tongue.

“I’m going to taste you deep now Hailey. I need to drink deep of your well. You are so delicious that my hunger is growing.  Do you want me to put my tongue deep inside that beautiful pussy, little bird?  Do you want to feed my hunger with your creamy cunt?”

Hailey was beginning to feel desperate. Her insides were on fire and she could feel the ball of tension getting tighter and tighter. He was going to make her scream soon. She just needed a little something more, “God Jarrek, yes. Taste my pussy deep. Oh please don’t stop. I’m gonna come soon.” Hailey cried, grabbing at Jarrek’s head and trying to force him to keep going. “Just a little more.”

Jarrek loved the feel of Hailey’s nails digging deep into his scalp. The way she was almost ripping his hair out to get him to continue. It amped up his own pleasure, he was going to have to get relief after she came, or his cock would explode. Bending his head to Hailey’s dripping pussy, he circled her clit with his forefinger. Without actually touching her sensitive nub, he kept lightly circling her clit. Stabbing his tongue deep in her pussy, he imitated what he would like to do to her with his cock and then pinched her clit hard.

As soon as Hailey began to scream out her orgasm, he pulled his tongue from her pussy and sucked her clit into his mouth as though he would swallow it completely. Giving her clit the occasional flick with his tongue, he kept her riding the crest of the orgasm. Once she began to whimper, showing that it was too sensitive, he stabbed his tongue back into the well of her cunt and lapped at all the cream she had made for him.

Once he had gotten as much of her cream as possible, Jarrek went up to his knees and ripped open his trousers. Freeing his cock from the tight confines of his armor felt so good he gave a little groan of relief. Sliding the fingers of his left hand into her pussy, he got his fingers full of her honey and used it to lubricate his straining cock. It was rigid with the veins distended, pulsing with the heat of his arousal. Five rough tugs and he shouted his own release. His release was so strong it splashed long strings, from her breasts to the top of her thighs.

After Jarrek and caught his breath, he stood and stripped out of his clothes. Picking his sated Cordisa up into his arms, he took them both to the cleansing room.

“Come on little bird, let’s get you cleaned up.” Activating the red sterilization field, he directed her attention to the red haze surrounding them.

“The red haze is actually an ultra violet free solar beam that will burn off dead skin and then sterilize your body by removing any contaminants. There is no need to remove your lovely skin, as this will leave you completely clean. The oil I used earlier will act as a cleanser as well. In just a few more seconds when the red turns to white, you can step out knowing you are clean.”

“Wow. We immerse ourselves in hot steaming water with oils, foaming cleanser or just the water itself. We let the heat loosen our muscles and help with any aches from injuries. We also use it to relax and get our thoughts organized. We call it either bubble bath, for the foaming cleanser, or just a bath. We also have cubicles like this that have a showerhead that pours water out of it to simulate rainfall. Then we put the cleanser on little scrubbing cloths to run all over our bodies to help remove the dirt and dead skin cells. Then we rinse off the soap and use a different type of cleanser on our heads. Women like to condition their hair as the cleanser tends to leave it very dry. We rinse again before we are done. We call this showering. Your process sure is easier.” Hailey explained to Jarrek as once the light turned to white, he stepped out and created new clothing for her.

This was a simpler gown in turquoise, as it gathered at one shoulder with a diamond clasp, leaving her other shoulder bare. It lifted her breasts somehow, so that there was no need for a bra and then cinched at her hips before falling to her ankles. He produced some glittery sandals with a two-inch heel for her before pulling out another black form suit for himself. “I will need to head back to the bridge. I will have Sidhawk entertain you and show you around the ship. He can also make sure you get something to eat. He will allow no harm to come to you while I am gone, but I do not anticipate any trouble at this time.” He told her as he finished dressing.

Pulling her into his arms, he took a few moments to kiss her and hold her, before telling her, “I will call you to the bridge in a few hours to see if you have made your decision and to tell you of any plans I have made. Until then know that you hold my soul. I cannot wait until I can bond us together for all time.” Placing one last kiss on her shoulder, he strode from the room.

“Bond?” she whispered to the empty room. A few moments later the door opened again as Sidhawk returned to keep her company. He had managed to clean up and change clothes. He also looked more subdued than when he left. “What's wrong Sid?” Hailey asked.

“I went to see Kirrek to discover what was wrong and saw what had been done to you and my Prince. I quickly went to cleanse myself and change into my armor. I am not a warrior like Kirrek or the Prince, but I can fight and protect you. My body can shield yours. Our armor can take more damage than your fragile body.”

Hailey shrank away from Sidhawk. “You saw that? Why? How many damn people have seen my shame? I want that message restricted right now, Sidhawk. Call Jarrek right now!” Hailey's voice grew in volume at the end until she was practically screaming.

“Whoa, Hailey. Calm down. It is not your shame. How can you say that? No one who has seen that message has blamed you for what happened. How could we? We place the blame right where it belongs on the hated Varill. If you will please calm down I will comm Jarrek and Kirrek right now and you can talk to Jarrek yourself. You will see that nothing you did was wrong.” Sidhawk tried to lower his voice and speak in soothing tones. He did not like the panicked expression on Hailey's face. Her face had looked so relaxed and happy when he had walked in. He would let Jarrek kick his ass if he became angry with him for upsetting his Cordisa. Picking up the comm, he quickly reached Jarrek and explained that he had upset Hailey after telling her that he had seen the message. Handing the comm out, Hailey put it to her ear and started in on Jarrek.

“Jarrek I don't want anyone else to see my shame. Do you hear me? No one else needs to see what happened to me. People will look down on me or treat me weird.” Hailey yelled at Jarrek.

“Little bird, listen to me. I will pull the message right off the board right now. I will put it in the restricted section for the Captain's eyes only. Will that make you feel better?” Jarrek asked.

“Yes. But I want you to make sure the people who saw it keep their mouths shut. I don't like people knowing those bad things happened to me, and I sure as hell don't want 'em gossiping about me like little old ladies in a Bible belt town.” Hailey wanted some kind of reassurance from Jarrek that his men could keep a lid on their mouths.

“Hailey, my men would never talk about what happened to you like that. They are all honorable men, and those who were on the bridge to see the message are still here. I will personally tell each of them, that if they repeat to anyone else what they saw in that message, I will eviscerate them where they stand. If you like, I will take a blood vow on the matter.” Jarrek assured his mate. If someone upset her then he would kill them. Simple as that.

Hailey gave a little internal eye roll at the offer to take a blood vow. Men were such strange creatures. “No Jarrek, I don't require a blood vow from you. Your word is enough for me. Just make sure that you pull the video right now. My shame is my own to deal with and not for others to enjoy the viewing of.” The snark in her voice was completely lost on Jarrek. Hell even Sidhawk didn't get it. Aliens. Well, they were sexy.

“You say shame, when there is none Hailey. Not one little bit of shame falls on your shoulders. Men, no matter the species, who take by force are cowards and should be executed on sight. Do you hear me, Hailey? I will not have you believe yourself shamed. I have tried to show you that I still love and desire you. Did I do such a bad job, that I need to repeat it? I will be happy to come back and repeat it as much as you need.” Jarrek teased her.

“No. I got it.  Just remove the video. I'll get it together on my end. Thanks Jarrek.” Hailey assured him. She didn't need him to come distract her, he did a good enough job of that without him right there. Handing the comm to Sidhawk, she turned her back to him and walked to the small table in the food prep area.

“So what's to eat in this joint? I'm starving and food helps me think.” She asked casually, trying to move on from knowing that he had seen her naked and violated.

“I have many delicacies that I can make for you. Do you have a taste for anything in particular?” Sidhawk asked, happy to move on.

“I somehow doubt you have grilled cheese sandwiches and Doritos in the cupboard, huh?” Hailey asked doubtfully. “Just make me a couple of your favorites and I will try to see if something is to my tastes.”

“Do you have any questions for me while I get you something to eat? Something on your mind that I could help with?” Sidhawk asked from the prep counter.

“Well unless you can tell me whether I should try to save the eggs incubated with my genetic material or have Jarrek kill them, then I could maybe think of a few questions I have.” Hailey tried to joke. It fell flat, but she tried. She gave herself points for that.

“I don't see how that would be possible, Hailey as they actually have specific needs at specific times and this is instinctive to the sire that is incubating. They have an almost telekinetic link with the young in the egg and the young wouldn't be able to survive the loss of the father.” Sidhawk said so matter of fact, that it surprised Hailey.

“What? Then if this is known, why did Jarrek even ask me?” Hailey questioned.

“Well, it is not something that is widely known. I have been studying the Krakill over the last ten years. At every port we stop in, I make it a point to travel to the sectors medical area. Krakill's are tolerated only on trade planets, moons and asteroids under strict watch. They are known throughout the universe for their knowledge in genetics and medical training. They congregate in these areas and discuss their knowledge; they have even traded on that knowledge for supplies that they require. I inquire about what they did or said, just ask questions. When I felt I had enough information, I was going to share it with the Commander. I was not keeping it a secret exactly; it just seemed smart to learn all I could so as to try to find a way to kill them quicker. I worry for Kirrek sometimes. There have been a many instances over the last fifty years when he almost died in his pursuit to eradicate their species. I know we are a dying race, but I would like as much time with my friend as possible before he goes to greet the Goddess. It was about twelve years ago that I almost lost him completely. He struggled for a year to get back to fighting form. I helped nurse him through that time. I watched as he struggled to return to fight and I decided I would study them.” Sidhawk finished with a shrug as though it was no big deal.

Hailey looked at him and shook her head. “That is smart. Why are you the only one to have thought of it? I would think since you have been trying to kill the Krakill's for some time now, that somewhere along the way, someone would have said, “Well how are they fashioned? Can we kill them with extreme heat or cold? How can we better kill large numbers of them? How can we keep them from reproducing at all?” and then created a committee to research and answer those questions. That's one of the first things we would've done back on Earth.” Hailey actually felt relieved over his information. She just didn’t think she could have handled a bunch of lizard-alligator looking egg children.

She would have loved them as they were a part of her, but it would have been a struggle to understand them and help them grow and develop. She could cry and mourn them when she was alone, but it helped her to know she wouldn't have been able to save them.

  “Well, that helps end my anguish over the eggs. You really should pass everything you know about them along to Jarrek or Kirrek if you don't feel comfortable telling your Commander.”

Sidhawk set several dishes in front of Hailey and she took a deep breath of each one. If it stank too badly, she would pass on those. To her surprise, everything smelled wonderful, so she dug in. She was quite happy to fill her growling stomach. Hailey was a little uncomfortable having him watch her eat, so she paused long enough to say, “You can help me eat some of this if you’re hungry. I was also wondering about the bonding thing Jarrek mentioned. What did he mean?”

“You are a Cordisa to Jarrek. This means that you alone are to be the other half of his heart and soul. Someone to help complete him, someone he can love without reserve, have children, and grow old with. When we find our Cordisa or Corduva then we bond our life forces together to fully immerse ourselves into one cohesive being. He will give you a part of his essence and symbiot's life force and tie you together. You will understand one another on a level you would not be able to reach without the bond. You will know when he is hurt, whether emotionally or physically. He will know how to please you as well. The bond means a deeper understanding of one another. Your heart, mind, secrets, joy, pain. All of it will be known and shared. You could close your eyes and pinpoint where he is and if he is okay with a thought. If you were close to, dying Jarrek could morph to your side in a microsecond and morph you to safety and the same is true for you. If his life force was slipping away, you could use the bond to get him to safety. You would not be capable of carrying him, but as long as you got your arms around him, you could morph to safety. We normally require some time to recoup our energies when we morph; however, bonded mates have a hundred times the energy as unmated males do. No one but bonded mates can explain all that the energy does as it seems to be different for each couple.” Sidhawk gave a little deprecating laugh.

“Perhaps this is a question best answered by your Corduva. I am afraid that I am not doing a very good job.”

Hailey swallowed one last bite before pushing her plate away. She may have started out starving, but the more that Sidhawk explained about the bond the more that she disliked the idea of bonding. The thought that there would be nothing private, nothing she could keep hidden. No thanks. There were horrible things in her past that no one needed to know. She hadn't even shared them with her momma and there wasn't much she didn't tell her.

Also, everyone had thoughts both good and bad that they kept to themselves. People were complicated. You could be polite, but think horrible thoughts in your head, or use a celebrity to help get off when your partner wasn't hitting the right notes, been hurt or angry and hid it. The list of things we kept hidden from one another was endless. She couldn't imagine being so open and vulnerable to someone. It actually made her nauseous.

“How do you bond? Is there a ceremony, does he have to bite me, or what?” Hailey asked with what she hoped was a curious tone of voice instead of how she was actually feeling.

Sidhawk smiled at her, but answered her question. “No he doesn't have to bite you. We do have a ceremony for joining, but it can be done before or after the bonding takes place. To bond he will make love to all of your body. Once he has tasted of your honey, the one after he has given you an orgasm, he will then need to give you his essence in your mouth and anal cavities before he makes love to you from behind and then right as he reaches climax he will latch onto the nap of your neck and kiss you. He must have given you his seed in each area first. Why? Do you have to bite him for you to join life forces?” He asked curiously.

“No, on my planet we only have a wedding ceremony when two people want to join their lives together. They have a priest or judge preside over a ceremony where they pledge in front of friends and family that they will love one another in sickness and health, for richer or poorer until death they do part. Then after they exchange rings and a kiss, the priest or judge tells everyone that they are joined together as husband and wife. They have a party and then they go on a honeymoon for two weeks to someplace where they can be secluded together and have lots of sex.” Hailey told him while thinking how she was going to find a way to avoid bonding sex with Jarrek.

“Um one more question about this. Does he have to do the bonding sex at the same time or could it be spread over days and weeks?” Hailey didn't want to panic if there was no need. He had already tasted her honey, but that was all. Thank god that they had been interrupted or she had fallen asleep before they kept going. She could have been mated before she knew it.
