Travlr (The Mating Games series Book 2) (4 page)

“Let me see your feet.” She gave him the oddest look.

“You don’t have a foot fetish do you?”

“What is a fetish?”

“It’s a deviant sexual practice.”

“By the gods, no. What do they do with feet?”

“I’m not exactly sure but they say it’s weird.”

“No, I just want to make sure your feet aren’t severely injured.”

“They were hurt but when I washed them in the water from the pool, they healed.”

“That’s good. I didn’t want you to suffer while we waited.”

“Thank you for thinking of me.” Tammie said quietly.

“Why are you crying? Are you hurt?”

“No, it’s just no one ever worries about me. It’s been so long. Last time was when my mom was still alive and I was a kid.”

“How long ago was that?”

“Don’t you know you should never ask a woman her age?”

“I’ve never heard that before. Why?”

“Many women are sensitive about their age. It’s probably because men seem to prefer younger women.”

“You’re people are very strange. I must have missed many customs when I studied Earth ways.”

“Why did you study about Earth?”

“So that when you came here, I could make you comfortable.”

Tears came faster. “That’s so sweet.”

Travlr wrapped her in his arms as she cried. Earth females were much stranger than he’d originally thought, but he liked this one anyway. He wanted to keep her.

Chapter 5

Hello Brave New World

Tammie thought back to when she had been moving across the cavern not sure if she should just hide here for two more days, take a break and get some sleep, or forge her way across the cave and go to the other side of the mountain to continue that way. As she meandered around the cave not really paying as much attention as she should to things, she almost tripped over a vine. The floor of the cave was carpeted with thick purple grass and flowers in rainbow colors. Stepping over the vine she started to move on when she tripped but luckily her fall was cushioned by the grass.

The vine began to wrap around and she screamed like a banshee or at least what she suspected a banshee would scream like. In the end, it had been her undoing. It must have been loud enough to catch the attention of anyone nearby because a man came running to her rescue. She almost swallowed her tongue as she stared at him. He was close to seven feet tall and muscled like Mr. Universe. His hair was short, a dark brown, and his eyes were the color of coffee. He was tan but his skin had the slightest green tinge. The man was gorgeous and her mouth went dry as she tried to tear her gaze away before he caught her staring.

The biggest shock was when he claimed he was her mate and took a picture of her. On one hand it was like Santa had brought her the best present ever but on the other hand she was contrary enough not to want things to go well for the people who had done this to her. It wasn’t just for her, they would just keep doing it as long as they got away with it. Travlr was talking to her and she’d been so lost in dreaming about how gorgeous he was that she’d not heard a thing.

“I’m sorry. What did you say?”

“Only that Razar and his mate are almost here. You’ll like her, she’s a sweet female and they just mated recently. They are expecting their first young.”

“Your brother must be potent.”

“Potent?”

“Sorry, it’s an expression for used for a male that’s fertile.”

“Oh, yes, I am sure we all are. My parents have ten sons.”

“Your poor mother.”

“Why do you think my mother is poor? She wanted more children but ten were all the goddess blessed her with. Now she hopes for grandchildren.”

“Sounds like she’ll have one before long.”

“Yes and she looks at Lista as a daughter. She will be happy to meet you too.”

“That’s fine but I’m not sure about mating.”

“Alright, but you will give me a chance to convince you?”

“You saved me so I don’t see how I could do otherwise.”
Besides you are so damn hot!

The thought shot into her mind. It was true and she didn’t know if she even wanted to resist him. A car pulled up a few feet away. Travlr stood up then held out his hand for her. She put her hand in his and felt a shock. It caught her so off guard she almost fell back on her ass but Travlr caught her arm with his hand on her shirt. It felt warm but didn’t tingle. That must require skin on skin contact. He slid his hand down to hers and it tingled again. Maybe he was testing their connection.

Helping her in to the vehicle, he waited for her to slide over and sat next to her. “Razar and Lista, this is Tammie. Tammie, this is my brother and his mate.”

Greetings were exchanged and Razar took off fast. They pulled into the driveway of a house and he turned the motor off. “We brought you to our house since I assumed you forgot to get food. There’s a meal waiting on you and then you can stay here over night or we’ll take you to your house.” Razar and Lista got out and went on in.

“I am hungry.” Tammie said as she watched him get out. She slid over to him and he helped her to the ground.

“Let’s go in then.” Travlr led the way in and the smell of good home cooking hit her in the nose at the door.

“It smells wonderful in here.”

Travlr led her to the bathroom and showed her where to wash up. “I’ll shower in the other bathroom.”

Once he left she felt strangely alone. She was coming to rely on him in such a short time. Tammie cleaned up. When she got out she dried off with a towel but quickly realized she had nothing to wear. Luckily there was a knock on the door. Lista brought in a lightweight dress.

“It’s sort of like a house dress but it’s acceptable to wear away from home too. They’re very comfortable.” Lista handed it to her. It was soft as a whisper and a lovely green.

“Thank you. I thought I might have to run around naked.”

Lista laughed. “It’ll be fun having you around.” She slipped out the door leaving Tammie to get dressed.

Once she was ready, she left the bathroom and made her way back to the kitchen. Everyone else was already in there eating, drinking, and talking. When they saw her everyone shut up. “I’m back.” Tammie squeaked embarrassed to have everyone’s attention.

“Come sit by me and I’ll tell you what‘s on your plate.” Travlr smiled cajolingly.

She sat next to him noticing how tight his shirt fit across his shoulders. He was drool worthy and she couldn’t deny he stirred her interest. The male was a sweetheart too describing the food as she tasted it and eating anything she didn’t like and giving her more of what she enjoyed.

“Do you want anything else?”

“Oh, no. I couldn’t possibly eat another bite.” Travlr grabbed her plate and his along with silverware and cups then washed them. Tammie was stunned, men back home never helped with household chores. They felt it was beneath them.

“Tell me, Tammie, do you wish to go to bed here?”

Tammie’s heart beat went wild and her blood heated. Her mouth went dry and her knees felt weak as her mouth dropped open and she stared at Travlr. Hell yes she wanted him to take her to bed right now. Unfortunately she couldn’t do it, not yet.

Travlr chuckled. “To sleep, do you wish to sleep now? If not we can go to my place.”

“Together?” Tammie screeched in question. She couldn’t remember for a moment why she wasn’t just jumping in bed with him. He was perfect, her dream lover come to life.

“It is just for sleeping, Beautiful.”

Suddenly it hit her. The long march through the desert, the rough trip getting to Oison, the pain of her father’s death even if he hadn’t been a particularly loving father he had been all the family she had.

“I do feel really tired.” Travlr picked her up and held her against him. He smelled clean and sweet, but distinctly male. She cuddled up against him taking in deep breaths of his special scent. The warmth of his body made her even sleepier. The male was like a powerful sleeping pill.

She knew he said something because she felt the vibrations in his chest and she liked the way it felt. It was soothing and relaxing making her want to be even closer but she was as close as she could get already.

“Are you two staying over?” She heard Razar query.

“Just tonight, Brother. Thanks for offering.”

“How’s the house building going?” Lista wondered.

“As well as can be expected with just me working.” Travlr replied turning to carry her away.

“We’ll help you in a couple days. Just let us know when you need us.” Razar’s deep voice, similar to Travlr’s only deeper, spoke.

“I’ll let you know. Meanwhile my mate is sleepy.” Travlr chuckled as he strode down the hallway.

She should object to him calling her his mate but she just didn’t have the strength to do so. He shifted her body so he could open the door and once they were inside the room he kicked the door closed. He settled her on the bed and she looked at him through slitted eyelids. Her heart almost froze when he began to undress. Stripping down to the equivalent of underwear, she stared at his muscular chest and the muscles everywhere she looked.

“I know you’re still awake my lovely. Go to sleep before I decide to try to seduce you.”

Tammie made a choking noise and rolled over to try to pretend better. When he crawled into bed next to her, he wrapped himself around her. Better than a heater, she felt warm everywhere. Somehow he managed to fall asleep as evidenced by his slow deep breathing. She fussed and fidgeted almost hoping he’d wake, but somehow he managed not to. Eventually, in the dead of night, sleep claimed her because she was just too tired to stay awake. It was the heat of his body, his rhythmic breathing, and her soul deep tiredness that brought it about.

Someone was poking her in the ass with something hard. She moved away but it kept following her. That was when she realized she wasn’t in bed alone and when everything that had happened came rushing back. Travlr was still sleeping and he had morning wood. Damn that thing was the size of a club. Tammie rolled around to face him but now he was pressing the crux of her thighs. It felt good too.

“Travlr, wake up.” Tammie needed him to wake up before things went too far.

He leaned in and kissed her slowly and sensuously. His kiss was spicy and sweet, it drew her in and she wanted more. The kiss changed and became wilder as he took what he wanted but gave her so much more. Stroking his arm and his back she moaned with need and she humped against him.

“Do you want me, Tammie?” Travlr asked as his hand moved under her dress.

“Oh, yes!” she moaned completely out of her mind with want at that moment.

His hands stroked her breasts causing her nipples to tighten and she felt liquid heat at her center. He rolled her on top letting her take charge of everything as he continued to stroke her. She leaned down and kissed him needing to sample more of his tasty mouth. Tammie was no virgin but she wasn’t experienced either. Being on top was a new position for her. Reaching down she stroked his giant cock and wondered briefly if it would fit. Well if a baby could come out than even his big club could go in, she hoped.

Travlr moved his fingers to her entrance and started to finger fuck her. His other hand moved to her clit which he worried, circled, and pinched driving her crazy. Tammie moaned and writhed on top of him. Speeding up he sensed she was on the edge and he pinched her clit to send her over. She collapsed on top of him panting and trying to catch her breath. It took her a couple minutes before she was ready to proceed. Reaching under her, she grasped his rigid staff and moved it to her entrance. Slowly sinking down it, she moaned as he stretched her and went further than any man ever had.

“Oh dear God!” She said as she finally sank all the way to the base.

Chapter 6

Sweet Revenge

Tammie rode him and it excited him to watch her move up and down on his shaft. Her moans and the squeezing of her channel on his cock thrilled him and pushed him closer to release but he held back waiting for his female to experience orgasm first. It was his privilege to give her pleasure, as much as possible before claiming any himself. That would ensure she wanted to stay with him and get even more enjoyment.

Wetting his finger, he moved it to circle her clit. Tammie jerked forward and her eyes widened. “Dear God!” She screamed as she convulsed and made guttural sounds. She seemed so caught off-guard and stunned he suspected she may never have had such a strong orgasm. Her breathing was ragged and she was flushed with pleasure.

Travlr froze and then his essence burst forth. He bucked and jerked filling her with his hot seed until it ran down her thighs. His mate collapsed onto his chest and he just held her as small seizures caused him to jerk until his body finally calmed. Never before had he felt so wonderful. This female was his and he intended to keep her. She fell asleep in his arms, but he had to get moving. He gently moved her to the side and covered her with a sheet. Tammie reached for him and it made him smile. The female was his whether she knew it yet or not.

Hurrying to the kitchen, he wiped out the breakfast leftovers. Razar and his mate sat at the table lingering over the coffee they shared. Lista drank it brewed while Razar liquefied the ground which then tasted much like crue, their version of coffee. Travlr got a cup of Razar’s drink.

“Don’t take it all. I’ve gotten used to drinking it and I’m irritable when I don’t get my share.” Razar warned with a gleam in his eye. Travlr suspected Tammie would want her coffee too and then he would have his own stock of grounds.

Travlr was a fair-minded individual and he was distraught by what his mate had been put through. Right now seemed like the best time to apply some justice. Sitting at the table after he washed his empty plate, he began to explain to his brother and Lista what had happened to Tammie.

“We can’t allow that to continue. It’s not fair to anyone. What are you going to do about it?” Lista turned to her mate.

Razar started to answer. “I have an idea where to start.” Travlr said before Razar could answer. Razar and Lista both turned to look at him. “We have an office on Earth in New York. They handle the trade agreements and the mating program. Why don’t we have them investigate and find out who is responsible and what they did exactly? Once we know that we can determine how best to punish them and make sure this never happens again.”
