However, now that they were finished, she worried that they'd been loud, that they would attract notice from the crew, or worse from some Taliam creature. "Terrex," she said softly. "I should go, before someone finds us like this."
"No," he grunted into her neck.
"Seriously, we're in the medba—"
Terrex swiftly pulled her into his arms, grabbed the sheet and wrapped it around them as he stood up. "No, you cannot leave me." He started toward the door.
"My clothes, they'll know—"
"Beautiful—" he started but whatever he'd been about to say, he stopped and returned to grab her clothes from the floor without dropping her.
A moment later, he strode down the quiet hallway and then a door slid open and Bella realized they were in his quarters.

Terrex dropped her clothing to the floor as the door slid closed. Bella was his, finally, in his arms, in his life. She belonged to him, he could feel it. He adored her, she was beautiful, smart, and funny and everything he could have ever asked for in an Omega. She was too good for him. He knew that. But he wanted to be better. Wanted to be a better man for her. She was everything to him.
He laid her gently on the bed, never taking his gaze off of her. "You're beautiful, Bella." He leaned down and kissed her lips. The first time he sank his cock into her had been frantic, brought on by the need of the Frenzy, but it had cooled some, thanks to her, but his need for her was still strong, still stirred his cock into hardening again. But he wanted to move slower this time, enjoy being with her, in her more. He wanted to worship her.
He kissed her sweet lips and along her jaw, behind her ear and down her neck. He gripped her plump breasts in his greedy hands, licked each nipple until it stood hard and erect. He kissed his way down her body, savoring the taste of her skin, salty and sweet. She smelled of honey and lemon with a hint of cinnamon and he craved her even more.
Bella moaned as he moved down her body, every sensation sending a thrill through her. He spread her legs wide and then hooked her thighs over his shoulders as he began to taste her again. He licked and suckled her clit as he slid a finger into her folds. She quivered beneath him, her body engulfed by him. She came as he slid another finger into her, gushing over his hand as she cried out, "Omygoddddd, Terrex!"
He grinned, his face covered with her juices as he set her back down and moved up her body. He captured her lips and swirled his tongue against hers, the flavor of her and him mixed together like a luxurious cocktail. He pressed his hard cock against her entrance and then slowly inside of her. Inch by agonizing inch he invaded her, plundered her slowly, meticulously, as he gazed down into her eyes, capturing her, enticing her, enslaving her, making her his.
Bella couldn't break her gaze from him, didn't want to, never wanted to. She wanted to be right here in this moment forever. Beneath him, cherished by him, adored by him, belonging to him. This was where she was meant to be.
They built the fire that banked in them, making it bigger and stronger, the flames climbing higher and higher, in a slow and steady pace. Each stroke of his cock in her drawing out the pleasure, making her burn harder and brighter. She was feverish with need for him, for his touch, his kiss, she could not get enough. She was consumed by him.
And then when the fire reached its peak, burned it hottest, he moaned in her ear, "You are mine, Bella, my Omega," and they both climaxed, shattering, and writhing together as they melted into one another.
Terrex pulled her close, her back to his front so he was curled around her. Bella felt secure, safe in his arms as they cuddled. Her mind drifted, feelings of bliss and belonging overwhelmed her. She craved this, craved him. Couldn't get enough of him. He was the only thing she needed. She'd die without him.
Bella blinked. That had been an odd thought. She shook her head, trying to push away that thought. Sure, she liked Terrex, and she loved what they'd done, the sex was off the charts amazing, but… die without him? Where had that thought come from? And the only thing she needed? That too wasn't something she normal thought when she'd been with a guy she really liked.
Bella shifted, attempting to sit up, but Terrex pulled her closer, his strong arms wrapping tighter around her, cradling her. Where she belonged. In his arms always.
Bella's breathing picked up as that thought went through her head. No… that wasn't right. How could that be right? She pushed against his arms, breaking free and sliding out of the bed. She needed to get her head straight. She started toward the bathroom, but it was like there was a rope around her, binding her to him and it was hard to move forward, move toward the bathroom.
What the hell was happening to her? She made it into the bathroom and shut the door. She was breathing hard with the effort it had taken her to get in there, away from him. It was as though her soul was tied to his. Flashes of their joinings drifted through her mind. She recalled his words…
"You are mine, Bella, my Omega."
Bella turned her frightened gaze to the mirror. Was it true? Had she somehow become an Omega? Had there been enough of that absurd cocktail in her to change her, bind her to him? How could she have been so stupid? She didn't even know if he was a good guy! And here she'd gone and bound herself to him? What was she thinking?
She gripped the counter edge and stared into the mirror as everything played through her mind again. The way he looked at her, needed her, loved her… she couldn't deny that she enjoyed it, had loved every second of it. She'd never orgasmed so hard before. If his tongue was magic, his cock was even more so, both had the power to make her come on demand. And she did love the feeling of him inside her, his hands on her hips as he drove himself deeper into her. Just thinking about it had her pussy dripping with need.
"Bella?" Terrex called frantically from beyond the door.
Bella felt her nipples harden at her name on his lips. "I'll be right there," she replied, keeping her voice soft as she recalled they were supposed to be quiet. She took a deep breath and opened the door.
"I missed you, come back to bed," he said, holding a hand out for her.
Bella took it and returned to his side, tucked into him. He kissed her neck again and she could feel his cock hardening against her thigh. She couldn't believe he was ready to go again. Most guys took forever to get hard again. A grin spread her lips as she pushed him to lay on his back. This time, she was taking control.
She moved over him, straddling his hips. Leaning down, her breasts dangled above his lips. "See something you like?" she murmured, a wicked grin on her lips.
Terrex growled and captured her nipple in his teeth, and then gripping her breast with tight fingers as he licked and nipped at her. "Very much," he uttered, "mine."
Giggling, Bella pulled back and slid down his body, kissing his chest and stomach as she went. When her lips reached is groin, he sucked in a sharp breath. "Hmm, what do we have here?"
Bella gripped his cock, and licked the tip, tasting the pre-cum and licking her lips. Terrex reflexively lifted his hips as she did, straining to reach her lips with his cock. His eyes closed as he moaned, "Bella, don't tease."
She giggled. "What… like this?" She licked the tip again as her hand move once up and then down his cock.
"Bella," he groaned.
Smiling, Bella took his cock and inched it between her lips. He was bigger than anyone she'd ever been with, wider, and longer, and oh so delicious. He filled her mouth and then some. She used her hand to pump him as she slid her mouth up and down his cock. He gripped her hair, trying to hold her, push her down further on his cock until it hit the back of her throat. She let him thrust a few times and then pulled up, kissing the tip of him. She wanted him inside her, so she sat up, moved up his hips, still gripping his cock, holding it up so she could impale herself on him.
As she slid home, she leaned forward, and he captured her lips again in a breathless kiss. She began to move, riding him, sliding up and down his cock faster and faster. His hands gripped her hips as he too frantically
slammed his hips up into hers. Bella bounced and his hands slid up her torso to her breasts, holding them for a moment and then he slid his hands behind her and down her back sending shivers of pleasure through her. He pulled her body close to his and kissed her as they both went over the precipice into euphoric bliss.
As they lay together panting, the ship's interior lights dimmed and then shut down. "What's going on do you think?" Bella asked, softly.
"Seems like they've powered down the ship." He cuddled her close. "Where are we, anyway, are we making the drop off now?"
"Mmm, no. We're on Taliam? Some Imperial Space Force ship was in the area, so Melody said we were landing here to take cover. Jodie said to be quiet, so we don't draw attention from any creatures or the ISF."
"Taliam? Even I know better than to land on this planet," he said softly. "Ninety percent of it is swamp, and Jodie's right, the creatures here, they will devour anything they can drag under the water."
"Great. Can they take down the ship?" she asked.
"Doubtful, but if anyone were to venture outside, I wouldn't expect them to come back."

Bella shivered in Terrex's arms. Just then, they heard something creak loudly. Bella's eyes widened and she gulped. "Was that—"
"Sounded like the outer door." Terrex nodded.
"I should go back to my ro—"
"No. You should stay here. In bed with me where I can protect you."
Bella sighed and melted into him. "But what if someone comes looking for me?" A frown marred her face as she tilted her head to look up at him. "Or you? You're supposed to be in medbay."
Terrex rested his chin on her head. "Damn. Very well, you may return to your room, but not for long. I don't think I can stand you being away from me for very long."
Bella grinned at that. "Attached to me already?" She giggled. "Good. How about I check in with Jodie and get us some food, then I'll be back."
He smiled and nodded. "And I'll return to the medbay, let Sina know I'm feeling better and no need for her further assistance."
"Sounds like a plan." Bella bit her lip. Regretfully, she moved from his arms, found her clothes strewn across his floor and dressed.
Terrex stood, wrapped the sheet around his waist, and gazed at her with longing. He didn't want her to leave, even if it was to go get them food and speak with her friend. He wanted her at his side. Forever. He'd never felt that way about Elenix. Sure, he'd thought he loved her, but this… this was something different. This was a deeper connection. He felt soul bound to her.
"I'll be back, don't worry," Bella whispered as she moved into his waiting arms and pushed up on her toes to kiss him.
His grip on her hips loosened, and he watched her open the door and slip out into the hall with hesitance. It was almost like she couldn't move quickly, like every step was painful. He didn't want that, so he moved toward her, but she seemed to gain momentum and the door closed between them. He realized he could still feel her and that made him sigh in relief. Their connection wasn't severed by her moving about the ship, he could feel it tugging on him as she went about her tasks.
He recalled he had his own task to see to, and quickly found a pair of pants and a shirt in the closet. They weren't his, but the fit fairly well. It seemed the crew had not only stocked the bathrooms with needed materials, they'd also managed to pick up a variety of clothing for their guests. There was a much larger variety of women's clothing in the closet than men's clothes, but he wasn't too picky and was just glad they'd managed to provide something.
He made his way down to the medbay, which was still empty. Maybe Sina hadn't returned? Didn't know he'd been missing? Just as he sat on the bed, the door opened.
"There you are." Sina bobbed her head at him. The look in her eye told him he was about to be scolded. "I have been looking all over the ship for you."
"I woke and felt better, so I returned to my quarters for a shower and a change of clothes. Thank you for your assistance, Sina. It was much appreciated."
"There is something different about you," she commented, staring at him, her arms crossed over her snake-like body.
Terrex shrugged, but felt uncomfortable under her scrutiny. "Just feeling a bit stressed about this upcoming deal with my father."
She nodded.
"I'll just get out of your way now," he started, "thanks again." He quickly darted out the door and returned to his room, hoping that Bella would return quickly.
It took nearly a week for the crew to repair the damage the ship had taken by landing on Taliam. Apparently, when they'd landed, it had ripped a hole in the bottom of the ship, and Mabav and Jorwon had taken turns keeping watch as the other repaired the hole and pumped the swamp water out of the ship.
The plan was to take off once the sun rose. For now, Bella was curled into Terrex's arms. He traced a pattern on her arm. "What are you thinking about?" he asked softly.
She sighed. "About our kidnapping plan with your dad. I'm going to miss you."
"I won't be gone long. Merely long enough to let my father know I am fine, then I will return to you."
"You think he's gonna allow you to leave after just getting you back?" Bella glanced up at him.
"I don't see why not. I doubt he suspects I would be in on my own kidnapping. Though I do worry he might try to double cross the Yebrax who supposedly took me. That is a bit worrisome."
"Yeah, we'll have to come up with some kind of failsafe, I guess. Maybe Melody and Dev have already figured that out."
"Maybe. I've been thinking."
"Oh?" Bella arched her brow and looked at him curiously. "About what?"
"My life. It's been pretty much a waste. I've not done anything to be proud of, but… I want to. I want to be better. I think—" he stopped, and his cheeks colored.
"What is it?"
"I want to join this crew. I want to help. Do you think Melody and Dev would let me?" he questioned.
Bella pulled back from his chest and stared up at him. "You do? You want to be a space pirate?"
"Well, seems to me they're doing good work here. Saving women like you from slavery—"
"So, you agree? What your nobles are doing is enslaving women to be their Omegas?"
He nodded. "Yeah. What they're doing is wrong. It needs to stop. There has to be another way. A way to do it without forcing women to become their Omegas. I don't think I could stand it if you were forced to be someone else's Omega."
"If I were forced to be someone else's Omega, I wouldn't be me anymore."
"I know. So yeah, I want to help."
Bella smiled. "I think that's an admirable thing to do."
"But first, we need to get that money from my father. Without that, I doubt Melody and Dev will ever believe I want to help for real."
"Yeah. I know what you mean. Melody isn't really very trusting of Canian nobles I've noticed. Lezin either for that matter. I suppose most aren't really all that trustworthy."
"Unfortunately, when it comes to Omegas I fear you are correct. Until meeting you, I was just like them. Well for the most part. I had no idea what was happening to women who became Omegas. I should have saved Elenix, helped her escape bef—"
"Terrex, you didn't know. And she probably couldn't tell you. Not with that cocktail of drugs they inject into the women."
"You had the injections, though," he commented.
"I had some of them, but not all of them. Thankfully."
He nodded and then after a moment, he caressed her face and leaned down to kiss her. She cuddled closer to him, pressing herself up against his chest. His hands wandered down her body and he felt his cock stir into action. He lifted her just a tad and slid his aching cock into her waiting passage, and he spent the next hour making love to her.

The sun rose, not that Bella could see it through the closed panels over the windows, but she figured it must be up because like always her internal clock told her to wake up. She looked over at Terrex, sound asleep next t
o her and smiled. Since she was up, she decided to make use of his shower. It had become slightly easier to leave his side over the last week. She could still feel the tug, the bond they'd created as she headed into the bathroom, but it wasn't demanding her return to his side immediately.
She took her time in the shower, washing her hair, and just enjoying the warm cascade of water. She was grateful that even though the ship was powered down, the showers and bathrooms in general were still functional. The galley was as well, so they didn't starve while they were stuck on Taliam. She hadn't seen much of the crew, even when she and Terrex went to grab food, nobody had been around. Granted they usually went at off times, as they were still trying to keep their private life private.
Bella finished up in the shower and then used the brush dryer to dry her hair. It wasn't like the blow dryers on Earth, this one was a handheld brush that you ran over the wet hair and it emitted some sort of airwave that dried the hair as she brushed it and it was really quiet, so she didn't have to worry about waking Terrex or about attracting any kind of Taliam creature.
Once she had finished in the bathroom, she went to the wardrobe and grabbed a pair of shorts and a tee shirt. She'd just finished getting dressed when the ship slowly came back alive, lights turned on, and the engines began to hum. She guessed they were getting ready to finally leave Taliam.
An hour later, Melody's voice came over the comm system. "Please, take your seats and prepare to re-enter the atmosphere."
Bella frantically moved over to Terrex, shaking him awake. "Terrex, I have to return to my room, we're taking off—"
Terrex sat up as the panel by the door opened and his seat flipped down. "What's going on?"
"There isn't a seat for me in here, I have to return to my own room, we're leaving Taliam."
