"Surprise? You have a surprise for me?" Her voice was a weak crack of a whisper.
"I do. We leave tomorrow at first light to Mooreah. But until then I thought you might want to see more of Sala. I can take you out over the mountains, if you like?" I asked her.
Her eyes lit up again and she jumped up and down. I groaned. I felt my staff getting harder. I would never get tired of seeing her do that, her body jiggling. It was very enticing.
"I would love to!" She shouted. "When? Now?" She asked me.
"No, in an hour or so. I have a few more responsibilities in my office. I will have Luqan visit you with the proper clothing attire to wear. The desert can get cold," I said as I turned my back to her, ready to leave her living quarters.
"Terik?" She said, stopping me in my tracks.
I turned to her and said "Yes?", as I stood in the doorway.
"Thank you. Being able to see the planets is everything to me. It is all I ever wanted," she said.
I wanted to say you're welcome. I wanted to say that I would do anything for you. I wanted to tell her that I had also chosen her as a wife choice. I wanted her to know that I desired her. But instead I said nothing. I could not say anything. I could only walk into the hallway, letting the door close behind me. I was getting overheated. I needed to cool off. I was supposed to go to my office, but now in my heated state I knew that I could not concentrate on my task. I went outside and shifted directly into dragon form and took flight. I needed to get this steam out of my system. I flew out away from the base port over the rocky desert. It was midday and the noon sun was high above us. I flew high and I flew hard. I tested my diving skills. I tested the height that I could go into the atmosphere. I had to keep my mind busy on flying so that I would not think of Adriana Adams.
But when I finally returned to my office, it was almost time to take Adriana out onto the surface of Sala. I would be heated all over again.
"She is ready," Luqan said as she walked into my office. "I gave her the proper attire, and the extra things that she asked for."
I looked at her confused, "What extra things?"
"You're going to laugh. She asked for a trowel and a specimen bag. She wants to dig around and collect and study things," Luqan said with a smug smile on her face. She was saying this to me because she knew that I enjoyed doing the same thing. It was uncanny.
"Is that so?" I asked her.
"Yes, she seemed very excited to do it. I looked up her profession on Earth, geologist, and it is in the same department of work as land sentinel for us Drackon."
"That is interesting," I said as I moved away from her, not wanting her to see right through me to the fact that I already knew it and it was the main reason I had chosen Adriana as a wife choice. "If you will excuse me I will go fetch her now for the outing. Make sure that everything is in place for my departure in the morning to Mooreah. Adriana will be accompanying me, as the king wants to meet with her."
"Of course," Luqan said.
As I was walking out the door, Luqan shouted to me, "Have fun!"
I stopped but did not turn around. Then I kept walking. This was not a date or courtship, dammit--or so I was trying to convince myself.
Minutes later I was walking out of the base with Adriana.
"Here we are," I said as I walked up to a land a vehicle.
"This is peculiar. I've never seen anything like this," she said as she moved to the vehicle and put her hand on it.
"Yes, it does well in the desert here. Come on, get inside," I said as I opened her door. She crawled in and I shut the door behind her. I went around and took a deep breath of fresh air before I had to be in a small capsule of a vehicle, where I would be overwhelmed by her pheromones scent. I climbed in.
"This is very exciting. Thank you," she said.
"Don't mention it. I have to monitor Sala and that requires me to drive around the land for checks," I said lying to her.
"I see, so you are not just doing this for me? You are just letting me tag along on one of your job responsibilities?” she said in a teasing manner.
"Exactly. Shall we?" I said as I turned on the engine and we rolled out of the base. We moved past the fence as I nodded at the guards, and then we were out into the open land. She turned her head back-and-forth, eagerly taking in the scenery. I could see how excited she was out of the corner of my eye. It was adorable.
"Stop here," she said, opening the door before I could even come to a complete stop. She jumped out of the vehicle and ran toward a rock wall. She moved her hands over it. I followed her and asked, "What is it?"
"I just wanted to touch the rock wall. It is my first time touching an alien landscape. It is beautiful. Look at the colors," she said in an excited manner.
"Yes, it is beautiful. I thought the same thing when I first came to Sala," I said to her as I placed my hands on the wall as well. She turned and looked at me and smiled. We were quiet as we stared at each other. It was a moment of appreciating the land and it was bonding us together. I had never experienced anything like it with any other female, be it human or Drackon.
She broke away from the stare as though trying to distract herself as she said, "Do you think I can dig around and maybe take some samples?" She grabbed her bag of tools.
"I'm not sure about that," I said teasing her.
"Why is that?" Her eyes went wide.
"Normally, a human would have to fill out many forms and they would have to be approved by the Land Sentinel before any collection could take place," I said crossing my arms in front of my chest.
"But isn't that you? You are the Land Sentinel." She asked.
I laughed and said, "Oh yes! I forgot that is me!"
"Well? Do I have your permission?" she asked me.
"I don't know. It's going to cost you."
"What do you want?" She asked.
"A kiss right here," I pointed at my cheek.
She gasped, and it grew quiet. She stepped towards me and pulled herself up on her tiptoes as her hands pressed against my chest to keep her balance. She tilted her head back and I lowered my face and turned it. Just as her lips were going to make contact with my cheek I turned my face and I locked my lips onto hers. She moaned into my mouth as I kissed her. It was a dirty trick but I could not help myself. She quickly pulled away from me and stepped back toward her tools.
"Now, do I have your permission?"
I cleared my throat and forced myself to calm down and said, "You have my permission, Dr. Adams."
She smiled a big grin and went to work. She took out a notepad and began taking notes. She was focused. She was driven. She made drawings of the strata of the rock wall, and I knew exactly what she was doing. As she went along I decided to help her, "This layer here that is a darker yellow, we call that the cruit layer."
She looked at me, shocked, and then she smiled, "Tell me more, Sentinel Vuna," she picked up her pen ready to hear my lecture. I was excited to share that knowledge with her. Before I knew it we had spent an hour as I gave her a lecture about the geology of Sala as she collected rocks and soil. We truly were a real match. And to think we came so close to actually being matched without any problems between us. If Captain Mordikye had not gone to Earth and picked her out himself, she would be on a ship from Earth to be with me as my wife. But that was not how things had progressed, and for the time being I would have to deal with that until I could figure something out.
"You know, when you and the Captain shifted and fought, that was the first time I had ever seen a weredragon shift," she said out of nowhere.
"Did it scare you?" I asked her.
"No! I thought it was very fascinating. I was in awe of it. I had never seen such a beautiful thing before. Does it hurt? Does it hurt when you shift?" She asked.
"No, in fact it feels great. It releases all this tension and energy that builds up inside of us."
"It must be an amazing thing to be able to fly," she said as her eyes began to water.
"It is," I s
aid, as I stepped away from her. She looked at me in confusion.
"Grrr" I growled as I shifted into dragon form. Then I moved my wings, flapping them up and down and taking flight. Adriana watched from below with awe in her eyes. Then I swooped down and picked her up in my arms. She let out a little squeal as I took flight, holding her in my arms close to my body. Now she too was flying. I could hear her giggling and it made me smile. I took her flying high over the desert and over the mountains. It was more fun than I had flying any other time, and it was because she was with me. After a few minutes I set her back down near the vehicle.
"That was amazing!" She shouted as she jumped up and down in excitement.
"Yes it was," I said as I stepped toward her. Her mouth fell open, as she looked me over.
"Can I touch it?" She asked.
I raised an eyebrow at her and said, "Touch what?"
"Your scales… Your wings…" she said moving toward me. Before I could give her an answer the palms of her hands were flat against the scales on my chest and stomach. She moved over them with a soft motion, and it was more than I could handle. She was turning me on. I took a deep breath as she continued to fondle me. Then she moved around me behind my back and began to finger my wings.
"They are so beautiful and shiny," she said.
"So are you," I said to her.
She walked around to my front side and before she could speak again I pulled her into my arms and kissed her fiercely. My lips pressed firmly against her… and she pressed her body against mine, putting her hands around my abdomen. I picked her up off the ground so that she could better reach me. I held her firmly against me as I ravaged her mouth. Her hands roamed over my shoulders.
Then she pulled her mouth away from me and said, "Put me down please."
I set her back on her feet and she moved away from me toward the vehicle. She turned to me and said, "I'm sorry. It is not that I don't want to, but it seems wrong. I am still betrothed to another. Is it not wrong for us to engage in this type of behavior when I am still promised to another?"
"You are right. I am sorry. It will not happen again. We do have laws against this, and technically you still belong to Captain Mordikye… for now. Let us go back to the base," I said as I shifted back from the dragon. I got into the vehicle and we drove quietly back to the base. Neither of us said anything. There was so much that I wanted to say to her, but I locked it up inside. She had been right. King Jarith Rykor would look down on my behavior if he knew what I was doing.
Chapter 7
DR. ADRIANA ADAMS
After my flight over Sala in the arms of the powerful weredragon Sentinel Vuna, I could think of nothing else. I had almost forgotten about my mission to seek out a cache of flagion rocks. I had to remember why I was really here. I had an entire life back on Earth that was about to get so much more interesting when I got to study the flagion. But now, for some reason, all of that seemed very small in the grand scheme of things. My heart wanted Sentinel Vuna… Terik.
The flight from Sala to Mooreah on board a small space pod with Terik and a guard was a very quiet trip. I could feel the tension between Terik and I yet none of us said anything. It was a short flight and when the pod entered the Mooreah atmosphere my mouth fell open. It was beautiful and lush with lots of greens, blues; forest and water. The pod flew near a grand castle that looked like a medieval English castle. “What is this place?” I asked breaking the silence.
“This is the capital city of Cerista. That castle is where the King and Queen live,” Terik answered.
After landing we left the pod and Terik walked me toward the castle. It was then that I saw a weredragon youngling flying over the castle grounds sweeping and diving fast. There was something very different about him.
"That is Prince Caspin," Terik said.
"He is different; why?" I asked.
"He is a tricolored. He is the offspring of the human female Queen Marissa and King Jarith Rykor," he replied.
That was interesting. I had heard that the offspring between human and Drackon was different but it wasn’t until I saw it in person that I really understand how special it was.
We entered the castle and, even though I knew there was a human female queen, it was still astonishing to see her sitting on the throne. The throne next to hers was empty.
"Welcome back, Land Sentinel Vuna," she said as she stood up and moved toward us. She gave him a big hug and then looked at me and said, "You must be Dr. Adriana Adams. I am glad to meet you. You must excuse my husband's absence; he is out on a mission and will be back this evening."
"Very well, then we shall join you for dinner. If you don't mind, Queen Marissa, I have promised to take this one on a flight around Mooreah."
"Of course not. You two enjoy yourselves and we will see you at dinner," she said.
I looked at Terik with a smile. He had remembered my interest. I felt a tinge of guilt that he was trying to please me out of caring for me, while I was using him to find the flagion rocks.
Minutes later we were outside on a grand veranda and Terik shifted into Dragon form. “Wow,” I whispered. I would never get tired of watching it happen. It was beautiful and it was powerful. It really turned me on. He scooped me up into his arms and together we took flight over the lush planet of Mooreah. We visited many areas that were his favorite places. But none of these places had the familiar shiny orange flagion rock that I was seeking.
We took flight again and now that the sun was at a different angle I saw something in a ravine below us that was glowing and orange.
"There! let's go there," I shouted to Terik. He swooped down and landed on the ravine floor. I looked around and twirled as the gleaming flagion orange color surrounded me high on the walls.
"What is this place? It is amazing," I said to him.
"Yes, it is one of my favorite places. It is known as Duton."
"I love it. What is all the orange shiny stuff?" I asked him.
"That is known as flagion. It is a strong stone with many purposes. It is one of the reasons why I love this place so much."
"I love it too."
“You look very sexy when you get excited over the natural elements of the land,” he said to me, taking a step forward. His silver wings spread out behind him, framing his gorgeous body. I was so turned on by finding the flagion, the adrenaline from the flight, and this gorgeous alien in front of me that I shocked myself by my aggressive behavior. I moved toward him and said, “You are sexy when you speak like that to me.”
He gulped down air as though inhaling my scent. I bit my lower lip. I had decided. If I was only going to be on Mooreah a short time than I was going to have some fun and there was no better place than where we were to do it. I pulled off the outer coat that Luqan had given to me. I dropped it on the ground.
“What are you doing, Adriana,” Terik’s voice was raspy as he asked me that question.
“I think you know what I’m doing. Don’t pretend like you don’t want me. I see the way you look at me,” I said as I pulled off the skintight top. I wasn’t wearing a bra under it and my breasts were now free. The cool breeze of the ravine made my nipples instantly hard.
“Fuck,” he whispered as he took a step closer.
“No! Stay right where you are. I want you to watch,” I said to him. His eyes grew wide and then a mischievous grin came over his face. He cleared his throat and crossed his strong muscular arms over his chest. I smiled at him and pulled off my boots. Then I pulled my pants down slowly over my hips, down my thighs, until I was kicking them off my feet. Now, I stood there completely naked with an alien weredragon warrior staring at me while I was surrounded by the amazing flagion rock. It was extremely erotic and exciting.
“What do you think? Have you seen a human female naked before?” I asked him, raising an eyebrow as I played with my long black hair.
He gulped again as his gaze looked at me up and down, “No, not in person.”
He took a step toward me, but I stoppe
d him again, “Wait! Stay there. Now it’s your turn.”
He let out a soft growl of frustration. He unbuckled the belt around his waist that held his weapons and it dropped to the ground. He pulled off his boots and then his derets, or pants. My mouth fell open at the sight of him. He was truly half warrior and half dragon. The shiny scales moved from his broad right shoulder across his chest and abdomen to his left hip. The silver wings protruded from his back. But the rest of him was much like a human male. My gaze moved directly to his hard cock. It was smooth and stood straight up. It was proportionate to his body size of eight feet tall and I swallowed hard as I took in the size with my eyes. It was perfectly light pink and he grabbed it in his hand as he said, “See something you like?”
