Kelian

by C. R Corbin

  Love.....

  It was a word I haven't considered for a long while. Ithyrian tradition did say that a man should love his mate but....surely this was not a possibility? My senses have gone down, there was no way she was the one, that night under the moon had already taken care of any tension I may share with her, it already ceased.

  "I've never been this far away from home. It's a nice change." she said, hopping around the room, shuffling her things into a bag.

  It was almost domestic, a normal life.

  Years spent on the starways, attack ships and sunbeams all the way and now I was here with her. Solar tainted metals and rogue asteroids faded into this small room, this hotel room with cheap carpet and cheaper wallpaper. The TV flickering in the back and the balls of her feet sliding against the floor as she danced around. I could easily imagine some kids running around right now, I could picture it perfectly in my mind. I reached out and suddenly she was in my grasp.

  "Yes?" she asked, shyly smiling, ready to whip my hands away playfully.

  "I...." I began and took her in once more pressing my lips against her's, she was shocked to say the least. I held her and pushed her down onto the bed, she smiled at me as I got on top, her curves bouncing, those ample breasts rubbing the fabric of her dress and her thighs sliding against my knees through the gown that she was wearing. My muscles tensed while I gazed at her, licking my lips.

  "Kelian...." she whispered, I gripped the back of her neck and kissed her again, running my lips against her's. I didn't care if it didn't make sense, this feeling that was flowing through me, I needed it, I needed it with the greatest sense of urgency possible.

  "I.....I'm confused." I said, pulling back briefly, I stared into that beautiful face and pondered what I was doing for a moment. The mating ritual was something extensive, my feelings had overcome me for that short while, I pulled away

  "What's wrong? You don't have to be afraid of me or afraid for me. I care for you." she tells me but I turn.

  "Just let me think for a while, I don't really know how to tell you this.....those feelings were never extinguished after that night, I think I want more." I said, she sighs and nods, sitting back down on the bed and resting her hands on her knees. She bites her lip and looks back up at me, letting out a deep breath before speaking to me.

  "I'm confused too....we can work through it together." she said, rubbing my back, her fingers tracing the ridges of my musculature.

  "Just....a day. I just need a day to think it over." I told her.

  "I'll wait, I'll wait for you. You're the only important thing left to me now, I realize that." she said.

  "In just a matter of a few days....I never thought I could feel this way about something or someone. Especially in a few days." I mutter.

  "It's normal to feel this way, you've just been on your own for so long you don't remember." she said.

  "You're right....but I just have to make sure." I said.

  We get outside and return the keys, she gets in the car and starts it up, there are no words for a while. I missed the aura of ease around us before I told her the extent of how I felt, now it was frigid, icy, I detested this new sense of awkwardness but I had to ensure that I was right about this, her safety depended on it.

  I thought back to the mating process, what I knew of it anyways. The old files on my species said when an Ithyrian bonds the process is for life, we bond for life and remain connected forever, if one of us should suffer harm, the other would feel it as if it were their own, nothing physical but...the death of a mate could trigger an emotional breakdown, it could lead to death in their counterpart from heartbreak.

  This was a grave agreement that I was asking her to sign, if I did feel this way. This isn't something that could be broken in moments, this was a feeling that would being the two of us together for a long while, longer than any human could even imagine.

  So I began sketching.

  "What are you drawing?" she asked.

  "Nothing." I said quickly in an embarrassed voice, there was only the drivers manual and a small pen to use but it would have to do. I try to sketch the shape of the symbol in my minds, the mating symbol that would bring us together.

  "It's....no no." I said.

  I didn't want to mess this up, if I got our blood together and I drew it...I didn't want to tell her she was indeed the one and it would turn out that I couldn't find the right shape. Everything had to be right...it just had to be right.

  "If you need to talk...i'm here." she said.

  "I know, I know." I said.

  I didn't say a word to her, she just listened to the radio while I ruminate and thought of what I was going to do. Pretty soon we were in some place with snow caps, great spiny trees reaching upwards from grounds of white to touch the sky. I feel the cold air brush my cheek and shake a little, my grey skin tingles in the sun.

  I look at her for the first time in a while, staring at her beautiful face, that porcelain face framed by locks of brown hair. Those green eyes peering into mine, her perfect face accentuated by that curvy body that drove me mad. Her flesh, that ample flesh that I loved to hold and press myself against, there was nothing better in this world, nothing better than her. I wanted to bring her in and never let her go ever again, she was mine, the only one in the world that I wanted.

  And then it happened.

  "Shit shit!" she said, steering wildly.

  "What happened?" I asked.

  "Flat tire." she muttered, we crash lightly into the side of the cliff, left there while she tries to start the car again, the engine suffered some serious damage from the crash.

  "We don't have any spares do we?" she asked.

  "No." I said.

  "Well just give me a fe-" she began but I shook my head.

  "It's no use." I told her.

  "It's cold out. You sure you want to go through here even with all this snow?" she asked.

  "Will you be alright?" I asked.

  "Yeah." she said.

  "Then i'll be alright as well. Come on." I said and popped the back of the van open.

  From my radio interceptions they weren't anywhere close to us at the moment. I could only carry a few weapons so I took some pistols and an assault rifle. I took a magnum revolver just in case a Trezodian came across our tracks. Due to the bureaucracy issues they could only send a few at a time and with limited resources. I knew the Trezodians well, they had their tricks, their ways of hunting men and women, they were ruthless but i've had experience with avoiding them my entire life.

  No that's not what worried me at the moment, I knew I could protect her even out in the open like this.

  As we set out on the little hiking trail near where we parked, her shoes crunching against snow as we made our way through the forest. What concerned me was the look in her eye, the way I was feeling. This was not the way I wanted to tell her how I felt, not the way I thought it should occur.

  But somehow it was.

  CHAPTER SEVEN

  Penny

  The day was mild and bright, trees covered in snow, the path was clear and I was actually kind of glad that we could get out of that stuffy van. It wasn't that cold in my opinion, it was actually quite warm.

  He didn't think so I think.

  "How far along are we?" I asked, he was trailing behind a bit, unsure about what he could say to me after yesterday.

  "About 20 miles away from a parking lot. I rolled my eyes and smiled slightly, I knew he was going to steal another car, this time it might not be so easy. 20 miles was quite the walk, I was up for it but Ithyrians....I wasn't so sure. Maybe they didn't like the cold.

  "All this time...I think i've been thinking that I would just fizzle away and then you come walking in. Taking a girl on a cross country trip and protecting her from soldiers, sounds like quite the tall tale." I said, rubbing the branches with my fingers, he continued to pace himself.

  "This planet is too cold for my liking." he
muttered and I laughed.

  The cool Colorado air brushed my face, my hair flickering over my cheeks as we continued. He steadies himself eventually and puts on his tough face once more. I tried to tease him about his rugged demeanor, deep down I knew that he was just faking it but a great deal of me was flattered that he put on his tough facade just for me.

  "I want to thank you." I said.

  "What?" he asked me as we crawled up a particularly rough hill.

  "I want to thank you....I haven't been this happy in a while." I said.

  "Crawling through snow makes you happy?" he asked.

  "Crawling through snow with you makes me happy. I haven't had someone in my life for a long while, you're the first." I said.

  "I'm...still pondering the extent of my feelings." he said.

  "Take your time, I already know how I feel." I said.

  The day warms up after a while, I took in the atmosphere of the area, the beauty that surrounded us. These tall hills and mountains reaching up like fingers of the world, just barely teasing the sky, just barely pressing against it. The birds chipper around my head, light flutters in my heart, I look over at him and admire his beauty. Those rugged muscles underneath that hoodie, his golden eyes framed by grey skin and his horns pushing the hoodie up at a slightly abnormal angle.

  "This part is slippery." he said, we were walking alongside a river and he suddenly stopped me.

  "You sure?" I asked.

  "I know." He said.

  He takes my hand and I blushed, he's done much more than that but for some reason....this felt different. That feeling of sexual gratification was gone, this was sweet, sickly, where that feeling a few days before was fog this was a light rain, much more clear, much more pleasant.

  "Your hand is still so warm." I remarked, he blushes and pulls away after helping me over the slippery path and I giggled. For a tough guy he sure was cute when flustered.

  I knew how I felt about him now, the entire day walking through the path made me realize just how much he meant to me, just how much I wanted him to stay and be here, as my mate, as my husband. We stop for the night near a cave, he huddled near the rocks and created fire with a lighter he took from the car. We sit around the fire, huddled together, he holds me close, pulling me in. Light specks of snow danced down from the heavens, I felt incredible.

  "I've been thinking over the last day...." he starts.

  "You have an answer?" I asked.

  "I think I do...." he said.

  "Well then what is it?" I asked him, teasing as he rubbed the back of my neck.

  "The answer is yes, I want to claim you, you're my mate, nothing you or I can say will change it." he tells me.

  "I'd be happy to." I muttered.

  "It's not up for discussion." he smirked and pushed himself into me.

  "So forceful! You're really letting instinct take over now aren't you?" I asked him and he nodded.

  "I've been waiting all my life for this moment....the ritual is quite complex but I'd like to start the first step, just the first." he said.

  "And that is?" I asked.

  "This." he tells me.

  He gripped my hips and spread my legs, his bulging member was pressing against his pants and my folds were already soaking from his mere touch. I rubbed his horns, his golden eyes shining as he gets on top, mounting me and sliding his lips against mine. I am enveloped by his kiss, his lips pressing around me as I groaned into him and rolled my tongue over his. I whimper as he holds me close, pulling me in and smiling while his tongue brushed along my lips and I feel his hands grip my breasts.

  "I love these curves." he said, finally a man who really accepted me.

  His thick cock rubbed my folds, brushing over me as he flicked my locks of brown hair back. It was dry where we were, he laid down some tarp onto the soft grass, I didn't care, he could have taken me on a lava pit and it would still be the greatest pleasure of my life. He runs his hands along my sides, feeling that ample flesh as he took my shirt off, my nipples hardened from his touch and the cold breeze. The fire continued near us, the warmth making my right side sweat.

  "I love you." I moaned into him, he stopped for a moment when I said those words but continued anyways.

  "I love you too." he said.

  His fingers dance along my thighs as his lips puckered and I feel him gripping my breasts. He holds my mounds, rubbing my nipples with his thumbs as he kisses me some more. His lips run down to my mounds and he wrapped them around my breasts, pulling on the ample flesh and flicking my nipples back and forth with his tongue.

  "Oh god it feels incredible. Oh fuck that feels so nice." I moaned.

  "I love the way you feel, I love this ample flesh. I love this body, don't ever let anyone tell you different." he said.

  I run my hands down to his cock, stroking his bulge and his hips as he continued to kiss me. My breasts rubbed his chest, I lift his hoodie and his shirt, his abs and his back tensing up while I rubbed him. His body shakes and I feel him flexing against me.

  "You're so sexy, you're so sexy." He said.

  "Fuck this body." I moaned.

  I run my fingers along the scars, the bullet holes and the cuts. A lifetime of pain and loss consummated in a rogue that saved me from a life of mediocrity. I loved the way he felt, the way he brushed me and kissed me. I hook my legs around his back while he continued to suckle my breasts, biting them gently with his fangs and pulling while spinning his tongue in circles around the nubs of flesh.

  "Take me, take me." I said.

  "You're my mate, you're mine." he said.

  "I'm yours!" I moaned.

  He kisses my belly, rubbing my belt before tugging that off as well. He takes my pants off and soon I am nude before his presence. His eyes widen and his abs tighten, in the light of the flame he looked like he was glowing. Every inch of his abs and pecs tensing up and the muscles flexing while he watched me. I licked my lips, his horns lingered in the night sky, the snow flakes falling onto his body and disappearing into condensation. The drops of water run down from his shoulders, through the cracks of his muscles. He towered over me, all 6 feet and 6 inches of him above before I motioned my hands to his pants.

  "No." he said, pinning my arms at my side, I felt helpless, I felt so....aroused.

  "Oh?" I asked him.

  "I own you, you listen to me." he growled.

  "Do your best to punish me master." I moaned in a sultry manner as he turned his attention to my glistening folds.

  He rubbed my clitoral hood, even more juice leaked out of me and he leaned in, running his finger in circles around the flesh and teasing me while I continued to moan for him. I shut my eyes and shake, feeling his hands grip my thighs as he leaned in and his tongue darted over my folds. His lips pursed and he kisses my pussy, rushing his tongue along my folds as I moaned for him. I feel him sinking his tongue in slightly, it was just a tease of course. He starts with his fingers and sinks a couple inside of me.

  "Fuck!" I cried.

  "Yeah you like it when I do this huh?" he asked me with a devious smile, rubbing my most sensitive nerve bundles with his three fingers, filling me out as he gently began to rock his hand back and forth.

  "Please!" I cried.

  "You want it, you want every inch. Tell me that you're mine. Who do you belong to?" he asked me in an animalistic growl, I felt so submissive, so fucking horny.

  "I'm yours! I'm yours!" I cried out.

  He slipped his fingers out and darted his tongue over my folds, leaning in and slipping his tongue deep inside of me while I groaned for him. I shut my eyes and I feel his lips pursing around my flesh, his tongue sinking deeper and deeper inside of me as he filled me out with its incredible girth. I whimper, I shake, I feel my folds dripping with juices as his long alien tongue sinks into me. It had these bumps in it, the long shape of his tongue squirming inside of me and rubbing my walls while I moaned.

  "Yes, yes!" I cried, grabbing t
he sheet laid below me, the cold night hair brushing over our bodies but I was still sweating.

  "Who do you belong to?" he asked me.

  "I'm yours, yours!" I moaned.

  His tongue continued to squirm, he knew all the right spots to touch me. He rubbed my clit with his thumb while he filled me out with his tongue. I feel him shaking inside of me, the juices dripping all over his tongue while he sunk himself deeper and deeper inside. I clenched him and screamed, arching my back and rubbing his horns, pressing him even more as I locked my green eyes with his gold.

  "I'm-AH!" I screamed as I came.

  I feel his tongue shaking inside as the juices rocketed out all over his tongue. I clenched him and bind him with flesh as the juices leaked out onto his mouth. He moaned and let himself sink all the way inside of me, those juices leaking out onto his mouth as he moaned and shook. I feel my juices dripping from his tongue as he slides it out of me and nodded.

  "God...oh my god." he says.

  "Can I have my reward now master?" I asked him.

  "You may." he said, taking his pants and dropping them to the floor in front of me.

  I cannot help but admire his size.

  I gaze at him, licking my lips and leaning to lick his tip once. I groaned into his size and feel him rubbing the back of my head. In all of these mountains our moans echoed, our love burned in this snow, our passion consummated under the infinite darkness. I feel him rubbing my locks of brown hair as I leaned in and let his tip dash along my tongue. He sinks it inside of me, his tip rubbing my inner cheek as his balls rubbed my chin and his cock throbbed in between my lips. I whimper into him, I can feel him throbbing as I pumped his cock with my hand, rubbing his slick tip and rubbing his balls before I decided to take the rest of him into me, I didn't care, I wanted it all.

  "Fuck you feel incredible." I said.

  "Take it in." he said, gripping my head and sliding his tip in between my lips.

  "Oh!" I moaned into his cock.

  I rubbed the downside of his member with my tongue, darting my lips along his length and letting his tip rub the back of my throat while I groaned. I feel his balls rubbing my chin while I moaned into him, shaking and feeling his size swell while he began to thrust gently.
