Katieran Prime Celebration (Katieran Prime Book 7.5)

“Just making sure my new friends made it here okay,” the female said.
“Thank you so much, Dr. Garrett,” the female with brown hair said, shaking the other woman’s hand.
“No problem. And please call me Rose.”
“If you would call me Jenny.”
“Yes, thank you…Rose, for showing us to the Medic Wing. Call me Marshal as well.” He shook her hand and everyone froze when a strange growling sound erupted from behind him. Everyone in the room was looking around for the source.
JadEN felt a heat rush to his face as he realized at the same time as everyone else that the growling sound had emanated from him. One minute he was checking the red haired female head to toe, then the Earth male put his hand on hers. Everything male in him demanded he rip the Earth male piece by piece.
What in Kitana was that all about? It was shocking the violence he felt and very out of the norm for him. He was a medic, sworn to save lives not take them. He shook his head and stepped back giving himself space from the red haired female.
AriELa watched in fascination as the normally very calm and serious Medic JadEN seemed to lose some of his control at the mere sight of the therapist. Dr. Garrett waved goodbye to everyone. JadEN’s eyes lingered on the doorway a little after the female had left. Interesting. AriELa would have to tell Kat, Cassie, and Jaxon about this later.
“Prima AriELa, should we check the results of the last treatment?” Dr. Sampson asked.
AriELa nodded her head. She and TarAK followed the medics and doctors into one of the exam rooms. She climbed onto the narrow bed and laid back. She had been to the Medic Wing over that last few months so often she had memorized every corner and crevice there.
Kat and Syd had started treatments on her prior to JadEN returning to Katiera with the fertility specialist. They knew there had been an abnormality in her cycles but it wasn’t until the specialists arrived that she was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
According to the specialist this was a type of hormone imbalance that was messing with her cycles. It wasn’t curable but it was treatable. Treatments focus on correcting reproductive hormone levels, and metabolism problems. It took a few weeks for the specialist and the Katieran scientists to come up with a drug that was more natural using Katieran natural resources. In the meantime, AriELa had been put on a regular exercise regimen and a special healthy diet.
JadEN used his medical scope to take her vitals and check her insulin levels. “Everything looks very good. How is your energy level?”
“Good. I am walking for an hour a day and am learning an exercise called Yoga that is very calming,” AriELa told him.
The two specialists from Earth were looking over the results of the scan JadEN had done. They both nodded agreement and the male spoke, “We think the best recommendation is to move forward with the injectable gonadotropins.”
“What is that?” TarAK asked, reaching for AriELa with concern.
“It’s a fertility medication we have been developing with your scientists. It contains a follicle stimulating hormone. It should cause the development of one or multiple follicles that is needed to ensure pregnancy,” Dr. Sampson explained.
“How long will I have to get this injection?” AriELa asked.
“Normally three to six months of treatment. If pregnancy is not achieved we could look into in vitro fertilization,” Dr. Applegate told her.
AriELa looked at TarAK. “What do you think?”
“Will this hurt her?” TarAK asked SydEL directly.
“I have read up thoroughly on this type of treatment. As long as she is monitored several times a week, she should be fine,” Syd reassured them.
TarAK walked over to the bed and took AriELa’s hand. She nodded at him. He turned to the Earth specialists. “When can we get started?”
Chapter Nine
Leader LarIS of the Colonial Planet and his mate, Lola, arrived on Katiera about Midday. Prime Leader RendEL personally greeted them at the landing field.
“Leader LarIS, it is good to see you.” RendEL clasped the other male’s forearm.
“I am glad to return under better circumstances,” LarIS told him. He motioned for his mate to step closer. He was worried about Lola, she looked really tired.
RendEL remembered to look directly at Lola when he spoke because she was deaf but could read lips. “I hope the trip was not too unpleasant.”
Lola signed and LarIS translated for her. “She says that she is a little tired but the trip was fine.”
LarIS spoke to her mind to mind. 'What is wrong my love?'
'I am just a little tired. A nice long nap should put me to rights,' she reassured him.
'I worry that traveling on the transport brought back bad memories for you.'
'It’s getting easier each time I travel. I need to do this. I won’t let the Morins hinder me living my life,' Lola said determinedly.
LarIS reached for her hand and they followed RendEL to the Prime building. His bond mate was strong and brave. But he still worried over her. The things the Morins had done to her still made him so furious he wanted to hunt them all down and destroy them all. However, that wouldn’t help Lola. She needed him there with her each and every day.
RendEL took them to the blue elevators that only the Prime family used. A male was there waiting for them. “This is Liaison TeEK. He will show you to your suite and ensure that all your luggage arrives there. We hope it's all right that we scheduled an evening meeting with the leaders and commanders. The End of Year Celebration is tomorrow evening and there will be quite a bit going on before that.”
LarIS nodded his head. “That’s fine. I’ll eat an early Evening Meal with Lola in the suite and let her rest.”
“Oh, I will let Cassie know your mate will be resting. She was hoping Miss Marquesa would be available for this evening. She planned a special get together for some of the females to go over the final touches for the big event tomorrow night.”
Lola touched LarIS’s arm. 'I will go,' she told him using their psychic link.
'Are you sure? You don’t have to,' he told her.
'Yes. It will give me something to do while you are gone to your meeting.' She gave RendEL a smile.
“Lola would be happy to attend,” LarIS informed RendEL.
“I will have a Liaison come to escort you tonight then.” RendEL parted ways.
LarIS kept his hand wrapped around Lola’s waist as they took the lifts up to the Prime floor at the top. They followed the Liaison down the hallway and entered the suite. He ushered Lola inside as he turned to the leader.
“Leader LarIS, I will come back with your luggage and will also come to escort you to the meeting room for tonight.” The Liaison left then.
'Oh this is lovely!' Lola called out in his mind.
He went into the suite in search of his bond mate. She was out on the balcony. Their suite was located on the side of the building that gave almost a 180 view of the green Waters of Katiera. The wind blew the fresh scent of the water over Lola and goose bumps rose on her arms. He wrapped his arms around her middle and pulled her back against him.
'Is it more beautiful than our home on the Colonial Planet?' he asked, nuzzling his face into her slender neck.
'This is beautiful but it is not my home. I prefer the mountain views and the lush green forests. The smells of fresh rain and tropical flowers surround me and make me feel loved.' She turned to lay her cheek against his chest.
'You are loved, my Lola. By me and all our people.' He kissed the top of her head. 'Let’s go take a nap together before I have to go to the meeting.' He held her hand as he led her to the bedroom.
She nodded her head. 'When we get back, we need to make another trip to visit the mountain villagers. I worry about them being so secluded.'
'We will do that. I want to revisit our cliffside retreat and make love to you while the sun is setting. You have such a beautiful body, I can never get enough of you.' He helped her remo
ve her clothes and then removed his own.
She shivered with need. He always did this to her. She felt her arousal dripping down her leg. LarIS sniffed the air and growled with desire. She loved it when he growled at her. She felt the growl more than she could hear it. It vibrated the very air around her and her body responded immediately.
'Do we have enough time?' she whispered as she fumbled to help him unhook his clasps on his shirt. She sighed when her fingers finally reached his warm skin.
'There is always enough time for us to be together. I will always make the time.' He lifted her up in his arms and carried her the rest of the way to the bed. He lowered her down and followed, sheltering her with his large body. Their skin touched as their lips came together for a searing kiss.
He stroked into her mouth with long deep sweeps, making them both moan. She thrust her tongue up to meet with his each time. He released her lips with a gasp and began to nibble down her chin and neck.
Lola wanted him inside her badly. 'Please, LarIS,' she begged.
He was torturing her by kissing his way down to her breasts. He loved her breasts. She smiled, then it turned into a keening sound of need when he sucked a hardened tip into his hot mouth.
LarIS reached between their bodies and touched the seam of her pussy lips. He growled finding that she was wet and ready for him. He needed to get inside her or he would release too soon. But her pleasure would come first before his, always.
He inserted a finger stroking her the way he planned to with his cock. She lifted her hips to meet his strokes and her nails dug into the skin on his shoulder. Kitana! He loved it when she marked him. He couldn’t hold back any longer.
'Then don’t!' Lola yelled in his mind through their link.
He placed the tip of his shaft at her soft opening. Oh Goddess! She felt divine as he pushed inch by inch into her warm tight entrance. He would never get enough of her, the way she gloved him so perfectly. It was beyond anything he had ever known.
With every stroke into her depths his thoughts were simple. She was his and he was hers. He savored the feel of her, the way she responded to his every touch was priceless.
He pinned her underneath him. When she called out her release, he let go of his control. LarIS pummeled into her harder and deeper. He never let his cock leave her completely, keeping himself buried within her.
Her mind was intertwined with his. Her pleasure had become his pleasure and his pleasure hers. Lola could feel his climax building and she felt herself responding with renewed arousal. They both needed release. Just a little longer. It was almost unbearable the shared need they had.
He nipped her shoulder and that seemed to be all that was needed. They both climaxed at the same time. Stars seemed to explode behind Lola’s eyes. Then she felt an overwhelming peace and rightness. She held on to him as his seed kept pouring into her. She couldn’t move if she wanted to. Her body had become completely boneless and immobile. She soaked up his warmth and strength.
LarIS carefully turned them so they were both laying on their sides. His cock still buried inside of her. He didn’t want to ever leave her. She was home to him.
'You are my home as well,' she whispered into his mind as she faded into a restful sleep.
The Goddess KatieRI truly blessed him with his bond mate and he was eternally grateful. He held Lola in his arms and let sleep take him.
Chapter Ten
“I am glad that you returned. When will you come back to the colony?” a woman asked on the video feed coming through on the monitor. She held a writhing toddler who wanted to be put down.
“I am not sure. I did not find the Morin transport and hate leaving the search party. I will try to visit before I leave to renew the search,” AshOR told his sister, EllinOR.
“What about you, TylOR? Will you come with AshOR to visit? Your nephew misses both of his uncles,” she asked, finally letting her son down.
“I will come soon. I may be joining the search party for the Morins as well.”
“No! Not both of you! You two are the only family I have besides my mate and my young. I do not want both of you in danger.” She looked upset.
“EllinOR. We are warriors, we will always be faced with danger. You know this,” AshOR reminded her.
She looked away to get herself under control. Then she turned to look at both of them. “You will both promise to be careful.” It was a demand not a question.
Both males nodded their heads. “Yes of course.”
“Come see us soon. I miss you, both of you,” her voice broke off a little.
“We will,” TylOR promised before they ended the transmission.
“Well, that went great,” AshOR commented wirily.
“She is upset because she misses you. Perhaps you need to return to the Colony and remain there,” TylOR told him, going to the door to leave.
“She misses both of us. Perhaps you should go there and stay a while.” AshOR didn’t like this male telling him what to do. Sure they were half-brothers, but they didn’t grow up together. They didn’t have a sibling bond like he had with his sister.
“I will visit her soon.” TylOR was struggling with having a family all of a sudden. He was so used to being alone, growing up alone, being an outcast among the Kiljorns. It was going to take a while for him to get used to the idea there was someone else out there who actually cared about him.
AshOR followed his older brother down the hallway. “She is trying to reach out to you. I do not know why she bothers to even attempt it. But she has always had a soft heart and she deserves better than a brush off. The least you could do is visit with her and let her get to know you. Not that there is that much to get to know.”
TylOR stopped walking and turned to face the other male, the one that looked so much like his father…and himself. “I said that I would visit. You are not my keeper.”
“No, just your unwanted brother.” AshOR resented it. He resented the fact his father had been mated to another and had a young with her before leaving and coming to the Colony. He resented the fact the other male had been thrown in his face as something to be looked up to, someone to strive to be more like. AshOR never felt he was good enough in his father’s eyes.
TylOR would have said something else but his eyes were immediately drawn to the tiny and curvy female headed in his direction. Elizabeth… Lizzie. His body went on full alert and that made him frown. He didn’t want to react to the little female. His brother had no problem with it.
“Lizzie, you look lovely as always.” AshOR stepped forward taking the female’s hand into his and lifting it up to his lips. She blushed making her look even more beautiful.
“Thanks, AshOR. I’m glad you’re back safe and sound.” She touched his arm with a gentle hand. TylOR growled. She looked at him with a frown. What was TylOR’s problem? “TylOR.”
“Elizabeth.” TylOR didn’t reach for her, though he had this weird desire to do so.
“Will you be on Katiera long?” She turned back to AshOR. The taller man made her a little uncomfortable. Not that she felt he would hurt her. All the Katierans, Kiljorns, and Colonists were protective of women and children. It was their culture. But TylOR always seemed to look right through her and made her feel inadequate. She was short and chubby. Nothing could lengthen her height and it seemed that no matter how many times she had gone on a diet, she always stayed the same size fourteen. She was not a huge size but compared to the other women brought from Earth to Katiera, she was considered one of the more plus sized ones. She was usually okay with her body image, but TylOR made her unsure of herself and she didn’t like that at all.
“I will be traveling to the Colony soon to visit my sister and her family. But I expect to be re-deployed back through the wormhole,” AshOR told her. She was such a breath of fresh hair. Her blue eyes sparkled and she had a sweet tinkling laugh that brought joy to any room. He found her quite attractive, but it was clear to anyone looking that TylOR and Lizzie were attracted to one anot
her. So why was his brother acting like a total ass around the female?
An awkward silence fell as Lizzie and TylOR both tried to not look at each other, failing miserably. AshOR finally understood the Earth term “third wheel”. “What about you Lizzie? Will you be staying on Katiera or can I convince you to visit the Colony again?”
“I am going to be going on the next outbound Katieran transport back to Earth,” she said, ignoring the growl that came from TylOR’s direction.
“You are returning to Earth for good?” AshOR was shocked. From all he heard, Earth was in pretty bad shape. The population was overgrown and their natural resources were almost completely gone. The planet was dying and if the people did not relocate they too would begin to die out. That was why the Katierans made an agreement with them to relocate females to Katiera. Katiera needed females and Earth had too many on their planet.
“No, I am going to be helping with the Culture classes on board the transport to teach the new refugees from Earth about Katiera,” she explained, glancing at TylOR’s angry expression out of the corner of her eyes.
“You should not be traveling through the wormhole. It is too dangerous, especially with the Morins still not found.” TylOR took an aggressive step toward her. Everything male in him wanted to throw her over his shoulder and take her somewhere safe.
“It’s not up to you, Commander,” she told TylOR coldly. She turned a warm smile to AshOR. “Good luck with everything and stay safe.”
“Will you be at the celebration?” AshOR asked as she walked away. Lizzie stopped long enough to nod and waved goodbye.
When she was out of sight AshOR glared at his older brother. “You are an idiot!”
TylOR glared back. “You need to stop flirting with that female!”
“You do not get to tell me who I can and cannot flirt with. That is between me and Lizzie.” AshOR stormed off. It was either leave or beat the crap out of the other male. He chose to leave. But his brother definitely needed someone to beat some sense into him.
