He inhaled the heavily-scented air and wondered at his body, already ready to go again. Not that he ever needed much recovery time, but his cock was painfully hard, like he hadn’t released.
With a growl he plunged back into his mate’s body, her arms and legs gripping him tightly as they roughly rode through another orgasm, and then another. His cock released over and over each time that his pleasure barb hooked into her. He could feel the copious amounts of his released seed running thickly between them, coating their thighs and pelvises, and still it was not enough. It was getting vaguely alarming actually, but he couldn’t find it within him to care as consumed in lust as he was. Every time he began to become concerned, a new tide of desire pulled him back into Nikki’s heat.
He had no idea how long they had been grinding against each other on the beach, nor how much his body had spent, or how many orgasms they rung out of each other. It was like they couldn’t stop, they felt driven by their need of each other.
Nazzek’s body jerked and he coughed out a startled shout as a bucket of cold sea water sloshed over them. Nikki shrieked and blinked up at him through bleary eyes as he snapped his tentacle to whip the offender. Distantly he heard Medif curse as four large hands grabbed him and yanked him off his mate. Nazzek snarled at his captor, and tried to beat the male off with his clawed hands, just moments before his was bodily thrown into the shallow water. Sputtering he shoved himself to his feet to glare balefully at Oigr.
“What the hell was that for, Oigr. It is pretty rude to disturb a male and his mate caught in a passionate embrace,” he growled, the tones colliding in a manner that highlighted his particular aggressive feeling towards his friend at that moment.
Oigr sneered down at him as Medif looked on in concern, but a smile appeared to be twitching at the corner of the Forad’s lips. “The sun is nearly down and we returned to camp with a kill to roast to find you rutting on the beach like wild animals, covered in cum. How many times exactly did you ride your female Nazzek? Were you trying to kill each other?”
Medif picked up a flower and frowned at it, and then glanced at the few remaining fruits laying on the sand. He scanned both and groaned. “Nazzek did you scan the fruit before you ate it?”
“Of course,” he snapped. “It showed clean for toxins.”
“You weren’t paying close enough attention then. This is glibi fruit according to the scan, and contains high amounts of erotic stimulants. Judging from the pits littering the beach I think you both overdosed on this stuff. Added to the fact that you camped under yasma flowers, the pollen of which is used in potent aphrodisiacs and medicines used for sexual aid, it is no wonder you two look like crap.”
Nazzek watched as Nikki, blushing furiously, waded into the water and began to scrub the cum thickly coating her legs and hips. Now that his head was beginning to clear, she did look a little worse for wear. Her hair was a tangled mess, her lips were full and red from his kisses, her skin and eyes dull. She actually looked as dehydrated as he felt. He looked up to the sky at the setting sun and did some quick math. They had been rutting on the beach for four hours straight. He swiped his hand over his horns and worked his fingers through the mass of his own hair.
He gave a sheepish look to his friends, “I guess I should thank you for prying us apart then.”
Oigr snorted, “I would say so. You put up a hell of a fight when I pulled you off her.” He gestured to several deep gouges carved into his thick skin. Nazzek glanced away guiltily. He had never been that carried away before. Before he could wallow, Oigr slapped him on the back. “It is nothing Nazzek, just some scratches. I knew when I grabbed you that Indivi are pretty hostile when it came to interrupting them with their mates. Being drugged out of your ever-lovin’ mind just made it all that much worse.” The male chuckled loudly. Even Medif grinned, his amusement shining through his green eyes.
Nikki sloshed up to his side, a broad grin on her face. “Well we may have been strung-out, but I think that is probably the best trip I have ever heard of. Nothing says lovin’ like a bit of heavily-aphrodisiac-influenced sex.” She smirked, which quickly broke into a long loud bout of laughter. “Of all the things on this planet that is ready to kill us, I never would have thought we nearly would have died from fucking to death. What a way to go!” she crowed before gasping around another barrage of laughter.
Nazzek stared at his mate fondly. He was truly fortunate to have found such a fun-loving mate who can look on the brighter side of a rather embarrassing situation. When Medif had explained what had happened, he had been worried that his mate would have been mortified. Instead she was laughing louder than any of the rest of them. Before long he joined in, dropping an arm across her shoulders and giving her a smacking kiss as he did so.
Chapter 6
Nazzek reclined back on his bed in his quarters, grinning from ear to ear, having just finished telling of some of his more interesting adventures he had in space since leaving his home planet. She had gotten him started by telling him a few humorous exploits from her youth and then demanded that he, after he laughed a bit too long for her liking, tell her about his youth.
He had done so with great pleasure, and relished her every laugh and giggle. She seemed to find the time that he got trapped in the brothel on Vixidon12, due to some minor miscommunication that his crew had to rescue him from, to be particularly funny. Nikki giggled as she curled into his side, her armed looped across his chest.
Oigr popped his head as he concluded the tale of Vixidon12 and grinned broadly. “I remember that. You were such a walking disaster in your youth,” he chuckled.
“You mean adventurous,” Nazzek corrected.
“If you define adventure by following your cock into trouble--yeah that would be exactly what I mean.”
“Not everyone can be old and boring,” he quipped with an evil grin. Oigr growled menacingly. “Was there a reason you are darkening the door of my cabin?” Nazzek asked, still slightly perturbed.
Oigr nodded, frowning. “Medif picked up something on the surface scanners of the area. While there are no nearby villages, there appears to be a holding facility a few clicks away.”
Now that had Nazzek’s attention. A holding facility meant trade-able goods of value. “Oh? Does he have any idea what may be in it?”
His friend shifted uncomfortably, casting a quick look towards Nikki, as if weighing his words carefully. “Yes, he is picking up life signs from within the building. He is guessing about three hundred human females are being kept inside.”
Nkki jerked upright. “Did you just say three hundred women? I thought you said the natives here are cannibals--how would they get three hundred females from Earth? The only way to transport a woman off Earth these days is through the Mate Index Distribution Program. As far as I knew it had strict guidelines. They won’t even send mates to the VaDorok due to the disagreement they had last year.”
Nazzek frowned, rubbing at his rough jawline. “Apparently your Earth isn’t too concerned who they actually get credits from. They are holding a grudge against the VaDorok, but aren’t otherwise screening the interested species--or just don’t care. You realize that three hundred fertile females probably brought in millions of credits.”
She frowned, “But why would the Katazians want or need three hundred females?”
Oigr shrugged slightly, but his frown deepened. “My guess they are keeping them for breeding purposes and livestock when they no longer have a use for them.”
“You are telling me that they are going to fuck them, and then eat them when they are unable to breed them any longer?” Nikki was horrified. Women signed up for the program looking for love with mates who would appreciate and cherish them. They definitely weren’t signing up anticipating being put on the menu! She grabbed Nazzek’s arm. “You guys normally rescue women in distress right? Can we rescue them and get them off this gods-forsaken planet?”
Her mate nodded thoughtfully. “We may have to dump our cargo to make room in to
the cargo hold, but we may be able to squeeze them all in there for the short trip to Indesh.”
Oigr’s brows climbed up, “Indesh?”
Nazzek leaned back and smiled, “Of course. These are women who want to be mates I assume.” At Nikki’s hesitant nod he continued, “So they got the short end of the stick in this situation. That doesn’t mean that they can’t have what they signed up for--loving, doting mates. Indesh has that in surplus.”
Oigr and Nikki exchanged a long look and then grinned. Nazzek smirked, he knew they would be on board. It was an excellent idea. Even better, it would do probably the one truly good thing he could ever do for his planet. Nothing would make the males of Indesh happier than to enjoy the tender love of a female they could woo and romance--in the correct definition of the word as he now understood it from Nikki.
“I better go let Medif know the plan,” Oigr growled out. “He will have to survey how heavy the guard is, and when the best time we can get in and liberate the little females.” With a friendly nodd to Nikki, Oigr stalked out of the room to find their third crewmate.
Nikki slid across his chest, pressing small kisses along the hard scales of his pectorals.”You are doing this for the glory aren’t you?” she grinned up at him.
Nazzek gazed down at her affronted. “Of course not my dearest! I consider this to be giving back to my home planet, a boon for my people…and the glory that will be bestowed on me won’t hurt. It is a bonus,” he grinned.
She chuckled against his chest before tracing a couple scales with the tip of her tongue. He glanced down at her, a gentle smile curving his lips. “Didn’t you have enough of me earlier female?” She grinned and wiggled herself against him, her dark eyes sparkling up at him. His cock hardened in excitement. “I guess not,” he growled tossing his mate down onto the plush mattress of his bed. She gasped as he buried his face between her lush thighs.
Much later they lay replete in each-others arms, his green cum painting his mates thighs once again a creamy soft hue. Her hands stroked along the sensitive scales of his belly lovingly and he pressed affectionate kisses to the top of her head. How he loved his mate! Their bond was more than he had ever been able to imagine.
“I don’t understand how I can feel so connected to you, to love you so much, when we have known each other for so little time,” she whispered, lacing her fingers through his.
He rubbed his fingers against her delicate ones thoughtfully. “I didn’t expect it. I had heard of what mate-bonding does to my species, but I never thought I would feel it.” He met her eyes earnestly, wanting her to see the depth of his feelings. “I may love to joke a lot. Life is nothing without enjoying it and getting as much laughter as you can out of it--but in this, I am completely serious when I say that I never expected to lose my heart and soul to my mate. I am yours forever, Nikki. Ever since we lay together on the beach and my pleasure barb and bite united us, my soul was united to yours.”
He leaned down and kissed her lips gently. “I will never leave you, never get enough of you. There will never be anyone for you but me.”
Her eyes shimmered up at him with un-shed tears. He frowned in concern as he wiped them away. Had he said something wrong? Nikki curled her fingers around his and pulled his hand away with a sweet smile curving her lips.
“You make me so very happy Nazzek, that is why I am tearing up. I love your silly ass so much.” She leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his lips that gradually deepened with their renewed passion. His cock surged for another round, but this time he would love her slow and sweet. He trailed kisses down her neck and drew the blanket over them.
***
Nikki sat in the chair in the command center, leaning forward eagerly to look at the view screen that Medif brought up. Her muscles were relaxed and pliant in the way that only numerous rounds of great sex can do. She peered at her mate from the corner of her eye, and met his violet eye at the same time. His lips curved softly, and she returned the smile before redirecting her attention to the view screen, trying to ignore how loved and glowy Nazzek made her feel. Even more since the first time, she had felt deeply connected and bound to him. His explanation of the mate-bond had blown her mind, and melted her stubborn heart.
He may have been cocky and full of himself, a jokester who took little seriously, but she couldn’t help loving him. For all his faults he was genuine, caring and generous. She loved him even more that he was selflessly putting himself into a potentially dangerous situation to save three hundred strangers. Yeah he saw glory in it, but she knew it was also more than that. He was just overall a good person in a slightly pirate package.
In fact she never imagined she would be so happy in a crew of misfits like this one. Oigr was stern but she got along with him fabulously. In his own tough-guy way he kept an eye on her and made sure she had everything she needed. She hoped that he would get his own special female someday. It was unfortunate that there were a fair number of species that had very specific biologically driven ways of locating a mate. Unless Oigr or Medif were lucky, there was a good chance that none of the females they rescued would be a mate for them. And Earth wasn’t make it easy for their kind either with the financial penalties they charged for males who need to “hunt out” a mate on Earth.
For the Indesh, a species far more flexible with how they chose a mate, where their biological drive followed in line with their emotional connection to a special female, having these women delivered to them would literally be a huge move in the right direction to save the species from extinction.
Medif pointed at the far right of the view screen, several meters away from the bright blob of the facility, “These look like guards. It seems that whoever is in charge isn’t allowing anyone to actually get close to the facility, not even their own guards. My guess is that all the females are specifically owned and distributed by a specific leader.”
The corners of Nazzek’s lips pulled down. “Are they going to be problematic? Can we get around them maybe?”
Medif nodded. “If we got around this way,” he traced a route that circled away from the camp of guards, “we can probably avoid the majority of the guard. It is probable that we may draw some attention we will have to deal with it, but should avoid the worst of it. At least for a short time.”
Oigr enlarged the image of the facility. “It looks like the building only has one entrance. It is going to have to be a straight in and out as quickly as we can to minimize damages and injury.” He looked sidelong at her. “Humans seem to be a particularly fragile species.”
Nikki curled her lip at him, “Just because we aren’t built like tanks and don’t have multiple arms doesn’t mean we are fragile, exactly.”
He grinned down at her flexing his mass of muscles, “Vrooduk are a powerful species, not many can match our strength. I did once see a skirmish, all in good spirit of course, between a VaDorok and a Vrooduk. Our species are almost a match for size and aggressiveness. It was mightily entertaining.”
Her eyes widened a bit trying to imagine that. It sounded like a clash of titans in the flesh. That would be a huge ticket seller at a WWE event.
He tilted his head to the side in consideration. “I confess it makes me very curious how VaDoroks and humans are even compatible given your small delicate structures.” He shrugged with a quick smile. “It must work out just fine though since there many new younglings on Dorok now from what I hear.”
“Maybe one of these days you will find your mate,” Nikki suggested. The huge male could use someone to love and care for him.
Gods listen to me. I get bitten by the love bug and now I am one of those saps who thinks everyone just needs somebody.
He laughed, his face wrinkling into masculine craggy lines. He really was a very nice looking male, and had a comforting presence. He would make some woman a very nice mate.
He looked down at her, a small smile still playing about his lips. “No, Nikki, I am afraid I won’t turn any female’s head. I am old. I was an adult
when I started looking after Nazzek on his crew when he was barely into his age of majority.”
Her eyebrows raised. She didn’t think he looked all that old. “And just how old are you then?”
Oigr dug the fingers of one hand into his mane. “I am forty-six revolutions. Too old for a young female to breed fine sons and daughters. Not that I can’t,” he glared at Nazzek before he had the opportunity to get a word out, “I just don’t think any mate my instinct will attract me to, will want an old warrior like me as a mate to give her younglings.”
He cleared his throat awkwardly and turned back to the screen. “I will pull out some of the larger guns, and maybe my ax-- just in case. I don’t want to fire weapons once we are inside with the females. It is too easy for innocent people to get hurt. Much better to use my ax in close combat situations.”
The other two males nodded their agreement on that. Nikki just went along with it, she could maneuver a diplomatic dinner for one of her dad’s elections but didn’t have a clue about weapons and strategy. “I get a gun right?”
Three sets of eyes looked at her nervously. She frowned at them. “Look I am not going to go blasting into the thick of things, but I am coming with as intermediary and would like something simple to protect myself. Nothing fancy, just point and shoot.”
Medif nodded, “I think I have a small gun that will work well for you. It is one we usually allow juveniles to use when they are first learning to use weapons. It is steady, with reliable aim.”
She grinned at the Forad. “Awesomesauce! Well then lets get rolling!”
Chapter 7
Nikki swiped at a bug buzzing lazily in front of her face, probably attracted to the sweat running down her nose. Who knew that the further away they got from the beach that the weather would become stifling hot and muggy. And like all hot cesspools everywhere, the bugs were attracted to her like a fucking magnet. Fuckity, fuck, fuck, fuck.
She spared a glance at Nazzek who look disgustingly cool and comfortable. Feeling her eyes on him, the male turned and gave her a saucy wink. Ugh. At least Oigr and Medif looked like they commiserated with her to a degree. It had to be one hundred over what-the-fuck outside. If Nazzek thought they were getting snugly after they got back to the ship before she had a cool shower he was going to be in for a rude surprise. Nikki hated being hot. She felt bad for the women locked in the building, doubting they had something as decent as a reliable air conditioning system. If she were in there she would probably be begging people to spit on her to get cool. That was utterly disgusting--but she would do it if desperate enough.
