His Fallen Star

by Lily Thomas

  “You sure you’re worried about the aliens and the other women?” Scarlett raised an eyebrow. “Perhaps you might be worried about how you’ll feel when we leave if you accept this matehood. But you could fix it.”

  “How?”

  “Ask Vlek to take you to the escape shuttles and see if anyone has responded to the distress signal.” Scarlett paused. “Or go just to make sure the distress signal is still working. You never know what could have happened, since we left the ship. It might not even be in orbit anymore. It could’ve crashed somewhere on the planet or exploded.” Scarlett raised a hand and spread out her fingers like her hand was exploding.

  “You’re right. I should go and find out what’s happened since we left.” And then she might be able to think about this mate thing more clearly. If they were about to spend an indefinite amount of time on this planet, then she could more easily accept Vlek, but if she knew for sure someone was coming in a couple of months, then she would do her best to keep more distance between them.

  If a Vrak’rir had claimed she was his mate, things might have been different, but an alien, who came from a primitive planet, was claiming she was his mate. If she accepted that, it would mean a life without her modern amenities. No more watching shows, reading books, or having her teeth sealed every few months, so she didn’t have to brush them every day.

  Olivia glanced over to where Vlek was talking with his people. She wasn’t sure she wanted to be the mate of a leader. She might take charge of a lost band of women, but that didn’t mean she was prepared to tackle the challenge of ruling over an entire alien clan which she didn’t even know anything about.

  His golden eyes looked over at her, and Olivia saw his nostrils flare. He picked up on her scent from that far away?! It was slightly thrilling.

  Olivia walked over to him. “I need to ask a favor from you.”

  “Anything.” He turned his whole body towards her, and she knew he was determined to convince her to accept him by any means necessary.

  “I need you to take me to where I fell out of the sky. You said you saw it, so I was hoping you’d be able to get us there.”

  “Why?” He crossed his arms over his chest. “So, you can leave?”

  Olivia opened her mouth and then closed it. It was kind of true, and kind of not. She wouldn’t be able to leave right away, but it would tell her if she would be leaving any time soon.

  Vlek growled at her. “You wish to leave me!” He growled. His body shook with the growl of displeasure that left his mouth, and then he stormed away from her.

  It was still possible for her to leave this planet if a rescue team came and it may not have pleased him, but she couldn’t just lie to him. It would be expected of her to leave when a rescue came. She could eat frikers on the planet Reni again if she left. She could go back to studying alien species from other planets.

  Then again, she could remain here and get the study of a lifetime with a man who made her heart race. She’d never have such a great chance to be a part of a developing society like she was now.

  But for now, she had to convince Vlek he could let her go back to the escape pods without the fear of losing her. She should’ve been quicker at answering his question.

  Vlek took a bite of the meat the village was sharing around the fire. He watched as Olivia interacted with the other women. He shook his head slowly. He still wasn’t entirely sure why she had rejected him earlier. Couldn’t she feel the pull between them? He sure could, and he was finding it difficult to resist her.

  Kriiv walked up beside him. “I think we should consider another hunting party going out. Now that we have these women to feed we will need to head back out.”

  “I agree.”

  “Should I set it up?”

  “Yes.” Vlek continued to watch Olivia as Kriiv walked away.

  The firelight played over her and her strange brown hair. All he wanted was to walk over there and sit down next to her and enjoy her company, but he knew the women needed some time. They felt safe when they were all huddled together. He just hoped they would blend in with the village after they were given some time.

  Olivia glanced up, and her eyes widened slightly when she caught him staring at her. Then a blush crept up her cheeks as she quickly returned to the conversation she was having with the other women.

  He was patient though. At some point, this dinner would come to an end, and he had some plans for them. She might be rejecting the matehood, but he knew one thing she would have a hard time rejecting. She loved having him between her legs, and that was exactly what he planned on doing tonight.

  Vlek faded into the night and waited until Olivia finished speaking with the other women. Sneaking around a couple of huts he followed her through the darkness. Once she was far enough away from the other women, he walked out in front of her.

  “Oh my god!” Olivia raised a hand to her heart as she backed up. “Vlek. You scared me!”

  “That wasn’t my intention.” He prowled closer to her.

  “What was your intention?” She asked her question breathing and full of anticipation of his answer.

  “This was.” He grabbed a hold of her hand and guided her through the huts until they were in the surrounding rainforest. Then he whipped around and pressed her against the trunk of a tree. “I’ve been waiting all night to have you in my arms.”

  “I’ve been waiting to be back in your arms.” She sighed as his hands roamed over her clothed body.

  His heart nearly jumped out of his chest at her declaration. It felt good to know she couldn’t resist being in his arms and gave him much needed hope that he would be able to win her over in no time.

  His head dipped to the corner of her neck and shoulder, and he sucked in a greedy of intake of breath. Her scent washed over him, and his cock went rock hard. His mate was so close but so distant emotionally. He needed to persuade her to accept what they had. She might be scared of what the future might hold, but he wasn’t. They’d face whatever came their way if and when it happened until then he wanted nothing more than to enjoy her company.

  Leaning back he caught Olivia licking her lips, and his cock twitched in excitement. “I want your lips wrapped around my cock.”

  Olivia dropped to her knees, undid his pants and sucked in a sharp breath when his cock leaped out of the confines of his pants. “Good, because I’ve been dreaming of giving you a blow job.”

  He had no idea what this blow job was, but if it meant her mouth was wrapped around his cock, he could care less what it was called.

  Olivia rubbed the pad of her thumb over the tip of his cock spreading the bed of cum over his head. He watched on as her lips opened and then wrapped around the tip of his cock. He groaned as her tongue swirled around the edge of his cock. Then she pulled away with a wet smack.

  “Salty.” She purred before sliding his length back into her mouth. This time she took it deeper, and his eyes couldn’t look away as he watched his length slowly disappear into her hot little mouth.

  Together with her hand, he felt the pressure build at the base of his spine as she thrust his cock in and out of her mouth. His head fell back as he enjoyed the sensations rolling through him. His Olivia was a special woman.

  Reaching down he pushed her away before she had him coming into her mouth. He had other ideas of what he wanted to do.

  Helping her back up to her feet his hands gripped the hem of her shirt before whipping it off of her and throwing it to the side. Reaching behind her back he undid her bra. He understood it helped to support her breasts, but he’d much rather she not use it, but if it made her happy, then he wasn’t about to bother her about it.

  The moment her bra dropped to the ground her breasts bounced out, just asking to be fondled and suckled by him. He was eager to please her. His head descended, and he latched onto one of her pink nipples. He sucked the bud into his mouth lightly scraping his teeth against the sensitive flesh.

  Her hands flew to his shoulders as she dug her
fingernails into his flesh, and he growled pleased with her reactions.

  Olivia moaned as he continued to suck on her nipple. Damn the man. Here she was trying to keep a little distance between them, but it was hard when he drew her in like the other side of a magnet.

  While his tongue flicked her tight nipple, she could feel his hands meandering their way down to the buttons on her pants. In just a couple seconds he had them undone. He pulled away from her nipple, and she let out a sigh of disappointment. What he’d been doing had felt so good!

  She kicked her pants away, and Vlek studied her in the light of the moonlight.

  “You must be the most beautiful female I’ve set my eyes on.” He breathed out as his golden eyes continued to roam over her naked form.

  Olivia could feel a slight sheen of sweat forming on her skin as the humid air of the rainforest caressed her exposed skin.

  “Pfft, you’re just saying that.”

  “Not at all.” His voice dripped with desire as he continued to skim his eyes across her body. “You are the perfect mate. Everything I could have possibly dreamed of.”

  She smiled, she couldn’t help it, not when he was paying her compliment after compliment.

  Olivia leaned back against the tree, the rough bark pricking at her skin as she invited Vlek to come forward and do what he wanted with her. Her body was hot and bothered, and she wanted Vlek to take care of her.

  It didn’t take much convincing before he pounced on her pushing her up against the bark of the tree as his hands skimmed over her slick flesh over her shoulders, down to her hips. He gave her hips a light squeeze his claws gently pressing into her skin.

  Vlek rubbed his cock against her stomach, and she nearly melted right there as she thought of it penetrating her deeply.

  “I need you.” She mumbled as she arched her back, pressing her stomach against his hard cock.

  “You’ll have to be patient mate.” He dropped to his knees. Then his hands separated her thighs right before his head pressed up against her patch of curly hair. His tongue darted out and lightly ran over her clit.

  “Yes!” Olivia let her eyes slide closed ready to enjoy what he would do to her.

  Her hands reached behind her and gripped the trunk of the tree for support as his tongue continued to lap at her. Slowly her pussy began to slicken up as the desire built inside of her.

  “Oh, Vlek.” She moaned as she arched her back hoping for more, wanting to come and feel the pleasure sweep over her. Her mind slowly fled her as blissful pleasure took over. All she could think about was coming.

  He reached up and tweaked one of her tight nipples between his thumb and forefinger. She arched her back in response, wanting more.

  Vlek’s tongue dipped between her engorged wet folds as he sought to spread her essence over her nub.

  “Mmmm.” She bit her bottom lip and thrashed her head to the side as he began to circle her clit with the tip of his tongue.

  “So good.” He murmured against her. His tongue lapped at her in a leisurely manner, enjoying what they were sharing, but she was eager to come.

  She shifted her hips, allowing him better access and she heard him chuckled.

  His hands abandoned her nipple and dipped between her legs. Then he entered her with a couple of his long fingers, and her eager body clamped down around him pulling him in further. She shattered around him as the pleasure built and stars flashed in front of her eyes. Her back arched and she drove her hips down against his face.

  Vlek growled in pleasure as she quaked around him.

  She slumped as she finished and he gave her one more lick against her clit before he rose back to his full height, dominating the space around them.

  “I want your cock inside me.” She pleaded with him as her lust filled mind drove her forward seeking more from him. She reached a hand between their hot bodies and wrapped her fingers around his cock drawing him closer to her.

  “My mate is lusty.” He purred in satisfaction.

  “Yes. I want to feel you fill me up with your cock.” She rubbed her hand up and down his cock to emphasize her words.

  Vlek’s hands gripped each of her buttocks raising her feet off the ground so she could wrap her legs around his waist. She dug her heels into his back as his cock slid past her wet lips to the entrance of her hot sheath.

  Her breath hitched in her chest as the crown of his cock breached her entrance. Then he slammed her down on his cock. His hands stayed on her waist as he guided her up and down his long hard length.

  Olivia felt her body squeeze down on his length ready to come again.

  “Vlek…” She moaned as her hips met his every thrust as she used his back for leverage.

  Her arms wrapped around his neck as her hands skimmed through his black hair. Every inch of his cock felt so good as he thrust to the hilt and then withdrew until only the tip was inside her. Then he would thrust back into her, and she felt her breasts bounce with the force.

  Vlek’s head dipped down and captured her lips, and she tasted her essence still on his lips. He captured every moan as the bliss built inside of her.

  As the pleasure increased, his thrust became more wild and eager. She felt her body begin to clamp down around him, and he growled in response before breaking away from her lips.

  Lifting his head, he grunted into the night air as she moaned. Her back arched as he filled her to the brim with his seed.

  They collapsed, their skin slick with sweat, each of them sucking in breath trying to recover from their joining. Once he caught his breath, Vlek pulled his still hard cock out of her and set her down on her feet. He placed his hands on the tree behind her and blocked her in. Then he placed a tender kiss on her lips.

  “I need you in my life, Olivia.”

  “I understand what this matehood means to you.” Olivia looked up into his golden eyes as one of her fingers traced a black swirl on his skin in the dark. “I’ve known several species who have mates.”

  “Then you know I won’t ever give up until you are by my side and in my hut.”

  Her heart skipped a beat at his promise because she believed him and he might just get the chance to win her over because she might be stuck on this planet long enough to fall in love with him.

  Chapter 11

  “You have to do something,” Scarlett told Olivia.

  A few days had passed since she’d last spoken with Vlek. They’d been eyeing each other over dinners and whenever they were in the village at the same time, but neither had spoken another word to the other.

  “I can’t just promise him that I’ll stay here with him. I can’t make such a promise.” Olivia threw her head back as she sighed and stared at the wood beams of the tent for a couple of seconds. “It would be a lie. If we do get rescued, I’d have to leave. You know it, I know it, we all know it.” Olivia paced inside the tent with Scarlett.

  “Somehow you need to convince him to take you to the escape pods, or you will have to go it alone in the rainforest. We need to know what’s going on up there.”

  Olivia shivered. That black panther had almost killed her the last time she’d gone running off, and she wasn’t interested in repeating that type of thrill.

  “I’ll do my best, but I’m not making promises I can’t keep.” She warned Scarlett.

  “However, you want to handle the situation.”

  Olivia sucked in a breath and made her way out of the tent. This would be the first time in a few days that she had spoken with Vlek. He’d been avoiding her, but she’d always felt his eyes lingering on her.

  She spotted Kriiv first. “Do you know where Vlek is?”

  Kriiv gave her a warm smile. “Good day, Olivia. Vlek is out hunting for the clan.”

  “Hunting for the clan or avoiding me?” Olivia folded her arms in front of her chest and tried glaring him down for answers.

  He cracked. “He did not like what you had to say. You are his mate, and you shouldn’t be leaving him.”

  “I can’
t make a false promise. Surely, you can respect me for not lying to your leader.” She hoped so.

  “Why will your people take you?” Kriiv cocked his head to the side. “Vlek says you came from the sky.”

  “We did come from the sky.” She confirmed. “My people will have orders from their leaders to take us back. If Vlek took me back to where we fell, I could find out whether or not our message even got to my people.”

  “There is a chance you wouldn’t leave him?” Kriiv leaned in, interested in this bit of information.

  “There’s a chance, but we won’t know until I go back to where we fell.” It would also give some of the women some closure. It would let them know what to expect out of this new life they were living.

  Kriiv leaned in close. “I will talk with him, but he might not be back for a day or two.”

  Olivia frowned. A day or two? Seriously? “Thank you.”

  She made her way back to the tent they’d been given for all the women. On her way there she got a few glares from a couple of women. It seemed the women around here thought Olivia was insulting Vlek by not promising to be his mate for the rest of their lives.

  She glared right back. They weren’t going to intimidate her. She wouldn’t be pressured into making a lie of a life. They couldn’t even comprehend how twisted this all was. She couldn’t accept Vlek as her mate when she might disappear on him.

  “How’d it go?” Scarlett greeted her as Olivia entered the tent.

  “He isn’t in the village. Vlek went out hunting and might not be back for a day or two.”

  “Damn. I was hoping for some answers.” Scarlett folded her arms the corners of her lips turning down in a frown.

  Olivia pursed her lips. “You did say I could leave on my own. I could probably get back to where we landed on my own. I don’t want to wait a day or two for him to get back.”

  “I was only joking. You could end up dead.”
