The Tiger's Mail Order Mate (Paranormal Shifter Romance)

by Jade White

  “I still have that SD card, remember? I don’t want anyone finding it.” She explained.

  “Makes sense. I guess we’re supposed to wait here until the steward comes back with our uniforms, I guess. I’ve never wanted to go on a cruise, to be honest. I spent enough time at sea with the Navy to last a lifetime.”

  “Well think about it this way.” Sonja purred as she draped her arms around his shoulders. “One last trip to sea and we’ll both be free people.” She said as she zoomed in for a kiss.

  She stopped as the steward stood in the door and cleared his throat, “Also,” he said, “Fraternization, if you are going to do it, should be done discreetly and out of the view of the guests. Personally, I don’t know why you’re running and I don’t want to know, but I’m letting you know that I had to let some Navy people on to look for some fugitives. I think you might want to hide down in the engine room until they leave. It was only a few of them so we can hope they just stick to thinking you two are guests. If they do search the engine room there are plenty of places you can hide that this key can open.” He said sliding a key card to Sonja.

  The steward then reverted to a Ukrainian accent. “Look, we know who you are and what you are doing. I’m part of the movement to keep Russia from taking over our country. I had to get this job because the KGB wants to kill me too. You’re safe here if you just follow my lead.”

  “Thank you.” Sonja replied.

  “I won’t put you on the employee role until they leave, that way when they check the list they won’t see two new hires.” The steward informed them. “Now go to the engine room and stay there until I come and get you. There’s a room that only this key and the chief engineer’s key an access. You’ll be safe there.”

  Sonja ran to her rack and grabbed the SD card from its hiding space and returned to the crew’s common area. “I had to get a little something.” She said demurely. “Come on let’s go.”

  They followed the steward to the engine room and used his key card to get in. “You can keep that card until I come and get you. It’s a gesture of good faith. The engineer is off on shore so you don’t have to worry about him coming in here.”

  Sonja nodded and waved the card in front of the smooth panel on the thick grey door. It swung open and inside was a small desk and racks of switches and routers. Their green and red LED’s flashed rapidly as they sorted all the data to its destination.

  “Yeah this is our data center. We have a broadband satellite connection so our guests can stay connected to the internet at all time. Usually, it’s one or two wifi routers, but we have guests that require direct access, so we have wired internet in every room, we even supply the LAN cable.” He seemed awfully proud of that little feature. “Sorry, it’s part of my job, you stay in here, don’t knock anything around. It will take a few hours for the navy people to search this ship so you might be here a while. If you hear an announcement that we are leaving port, you know we are in the clear and you can leave if I don’t get you first. We’ll meet up in the crew’s common area if that happens. You still need your uniforms and assignments.” With that the steward left and closed the door behind him.

  Sonja turned to Russell and wrapped her arms around him again, grinding her pelvis into his, seductively. “Well, while we’re waiting, we might as well keep ourselves occupied.”

  “We’ll have to be quiet.” Russell whispered. “Don’t want let them know we’re here.” He said as he lightly kissed Sonja’s soft lips.

  “I’m able to do that, but are you?” she said as she playfully nipped Russell’s lower lip. “You growled last time we fucked.”

  “I’ll try not to do that this time.” He said as he snaked his hand up underneath her shirt.

  Sonja felt her knees go weak as she felt his strong hand caress her breast through her bra. He began to nuzzle and kiss her neck as he stroked her nipple through her lacy bra. She felt his other hand move down to her leggings and push its way in. She felt a long finger probe between her moist pussy lips with restrained urgency. As Russell stroked her gently, she felt shocks of pleasure course through her body. She wanted to moan and cry out but she couldn’t alert those who stood outside the door so she kept silent, which amplified the naughty feel of the entire situation.

  Russell’s finger found her clit and he started moving it around causing her to whimper as she bit down on his shoulder in an effort to keep silent. She felt like a teenager trying not to get caught messing around in her parents basement, or in her case, the shed behind the ballet school.

  Russell’s dick strained in his pants as he inhaled Sonja’s spicy scent. The stress and the danger of the past few nights had finally caught up to him and this was one of his ways of dealing with it without resorting to anger. The adrenal suppressant didn’t suppress the adrenaline rush of anger and fear; the nervous system wasn’t that simple. Russell’s body had adapted and instead of adrenaline, which was suppressed with the medication, his body produced more testosterone during stress, causing him to become increasingly sexually aroused. His adolescent years were very, very difficult, to put it lightly.

  Sonja breathed in Russell’s heady musk and widened her stance a bit to give his hand more room as he stroked her clit gently. She felt the tension building in her abdomen as she reached down and undid his jeans. She reached in and grasped his thick, hard cock and began to stroke it gently. The feeling of her hand on his dick caused a low rumble to form in his throat, which he bit back.

  She loved feeling his thick, hard cock in her hand and played with it gently by moving the soft skin up and down the shaft.

  Thrills of pleasure danced up Russell’s spine as Sonja gently stroked him. He looked into her emerald green eyes and felt a surge of deep love for the woman who tumbled into his life. Both of them longed for the freedom that many people in the world took for granted; the freedom to determine their own fates, which somehow became intertwined.

  Sonja felt a surge of love as she looked into Russell’s unique golden eyes. First he started off as a means to an end for her, now it was so much more. He gave up everything to keep her safe. He could have turned her in and just kept on living his life, as much as it was. He had much more freedom than the splicers she had known.

  As he stroked her clit her orgasm built higher and higher. The pleasurable sensation was amplified by the love she felt for this man as she buried her face into his shoulder and whimpered as her tension grew. Her body tensed up and her knees began to weaken and tremble as her orgasm surged through her body. Russell felt a gush of wetness fill his hand as Sonja shook and bit down hard on his shoulder. Her grip on his cock became vicelike as she came.

  Russell then removed his hand from her leggings and pulled them down. He turned her around and bent her over the small desk and pulled his hot and ready cock out of his jeans. He then placed the head of his cock against the hot, wet opening of her waiting pussy and bent over her. “I can’t wait till this is all over so we can finally fuck without having anyone listen in.” He whispered as he shoved his nine inch dick deep inside Sonja’s waiting pussy.

  She bit down on her forearm so as not to cry out from the exquisite pleasure of Russell’s hard cock filling her to the brim. He thrust softly so as not to cause the desk to rattle it and alert those outside.

  The soft, slow strokes inflamed Sonja’s passion even more. It took all of her restraint not to buck back in response. Russell was the first ever man she had been passive with and the role reversal was amazing. She whimpered into her forearm as the soft, short strokes rocked her to her core building another orgasm deep within her.

  While Russell was gently grinding inside her she instinctively reached between her legs and touched her throbbing clit with her long fingers. He grabbed her wrist and removed her hand from her sopping pussy and placed it back on the desk. “Not today.” He whispered in her ear. “I want to be in control of when you cum, so you keep that pretty little hand up there.” He whispered as he ground his pelvis in a circular motio
n against hers.

  She bit her arm harder, drawing blood as she felt another tide of pleasure well up inside of her. Russell felt her muscles tense as her orgasm began to crest and stopped moving. He reached out and held her free hand to the desk to prevent her from rubbing herself off while he was buried deep inside of her.

  “Not quite yet.” He whispered. “I’m nowhere near ready to cum yet and the more you have the louder you get, we can’t risk compromising our position. I would give anything to be drilling you right now, but slow and steady wins the race.” He finished as he flexed his muscles, causing his dick to twitch inside her.

  Sonja fought to not move against him as she felt her peak ebb, leaving a pleasant throbbing sensation between her legs. She decided to abandon her focus on her orgasm and just let the sensations carry her away since they did have a few hours to kill.

  He felt her relax underneath him. “That’s it. Just let it go and focus on the experience.” He whispered. He started the soft quick thrusts up again and Sonja just relaxed and felt herself being rocked deep inside. Russell’s heady sex musk filled the room as he softly caressed her back while he barely moved inside Sonja’s tight, wet well.

  She vaguely remembered the training she received while she was in the splicer program. When one chooses a mate, they claim them for life. The more that the opposite sex is exposed to the musk the deeper the bond becomes. The pheromone rewires the brain to produce extra oxytocin when the couple is together, and it can be consciously released by the splicer during sex. She inhaled deeply as she allowed the chemical to take her away.

  Russell felt her breathe in his pheromones as she relaxed beneath him even more. She wasn’t unresponsive, if anything with that deep breath, she became more responsive to his sexual control. He let himself slip into a semi-trance state to keep his shape shifting under control since he felt the tension begin at the base of his spine, signalling he was going to blow his load soon.

  Unbeknownst to her, he matched his breathing to her own as she took deep, steady breaths to maximise her exposure the chemical. She squeezed her legs together, providing a tighter grip for Russell as he fucked her softly from behind.

  While he rode her, he bent down and nuzzled her neck and whispered in her ear. “God you feel so damn good. I’m feeling like I’m gonna cum soon. We’re going to cum together, do you understand. It’s important for the process.”

  Sonja understood and accepted it as Russell began to thrust harder and quicker. She felt her orgasm rising deep within her belly as he reached down and rubbed her clit and fucked her at the same time.

  Higher and higher it rose and suddenly, it hit. She bit down on her arm to stifle the cry as he pinched her sensitive nub hard causing her to cum harder than she has ever cum before, while he unloaded the contents of his balls deep inside her with a quiet grunt.

  Russell felt something click within his brain as he buried himself balls deep inside of Sonja’s spasming pussy and unloaded. He knew it was done. They were a pair bonded for life, they didn’t need any kind of ceremony, except maybe a legal one down the road, but as of that very moment, they could not be separated.

  He slid out of her, stood up and buttoned up his pants. He silently moved to the corner of the room and sat down, spreading his legs and arms in a silent invitation for Sonja to join him. She straightened her clothes, smiled a shy grin and joined him in the corner. He wrapped his arms and legs around her in a protective embrace.

  “Did you bond with your first splicer?” he asked.

  “No. They wanted us to, but before we could, he was killed.” She said. “I’m kind of glad we never went through with it. He was not a nice person at all. All the experiments warped him, perverted him even.” She explained.

  “How so?” he asked.

  “Well, you know how when you’re stressed, your testosterone goes up? Well, he turned violent towards me. Sexually violent. He tried to rape me many times, but failed. I requested a transfer to another splicer but I was denied.”

  “Did you kill him?” Russell asked softly.

  “No. Vladimir Putin put him down.” She replied. “He was in the woods in Siberia on a training exercise. He was in his animal form, a bear. Putin was out there on one of his many hunting trips at the same time. They felt it was safe because both Yuri and I were out there along with other KGB agents. Well Yuri turned on Putin. It was calculated too. He went off into the woods, turned into a bear and when he saw Putin, he charged.” Sonja swallowed hard. “He forgot that Putin was a precise shot. One shotgun slug to the head was all it took and Yuri was no more. He didn’t even change back to human when he died.”

  “How do they know it was him, and not just some wild bear?” Russell asked.

  “DNA testing and the implant. Both confirmed the bear was Yuri.” She replied sadly.

  Russell gave her a squeeze to comfort her. “So they moved you back to espionage.”

  “Yes, and that’s when this whole mess started.” She sighed. “Anyway, why didn’t you have a handler?” she asked.

  “They couldn’t find one for me.” He said. “Not a female one anyway, and I had no desire to bond with a male, the closest person was Colonel Bankes.” He said with a sigh. “That’s why I went in search of one on my own I guess, even though I didn’t realize it at the time.”

  “You really thought you could get away with finding a handler on a dating site?” she asked with a smile. “Like your bosses would have to vet her and everything. Most women would run at the thought.”

  “Yeah that’s why I was hoping to keep it a secret, but it wouldn’t work. Not with this.” He said pointing to his implant. “I guess I’m lucky I found you, then.” He said.

  “Yes. You would have gone insane and needed to be put down if you didn’t.” Sonja explained.

  “Really?” Russell was surprised.

  “They didn’t tell you because they didn’t want you to know how desperate it was. When a Splicer doesn’t find someone to bond with by the time they reach thirty, their animal DNA starts to corrupt their brain, overwriting key parts of their humanity.”

  “How do you know this?” Russell asked.

  “Russia has been creating Splicers for much longer than the USA. We began to share the technology around twenty five years ago with you. But in World War 2, some of Mengele’s s scientists came to us, instead of you. That’s where we got the theory and basic data.”

  Russell nodded. “And they plan on using the women of the Ukraine to breed an army of us, right?”

  “Yes.” Sonja replied grimly. “That’s part of the data that’s on here. The US and Russia are going to be cooperating in this to build an army of splicer soldiers. They won’t be viewed as human so they will be sent out to fight the battles that regular infantries are sent to do now. The entire Middle East will fall and the oil will be ripe for the taking. China will retaliate with a tactical nuclear strike. All the communiqué’s are here on this chip. If the Ukraine falls, World War 3 will begin. We need to get this to a UN ambassador.”

  Russell sighed. “Well, first we need to get out of Hawaii and to a neutral nation with no extradition treaty. I have no idea where this cruise ship will go, maybe South America, maybe to French Polynesia. We’ll just do what we can to maintain our cover.”

  “Exactly.” Sonja snuggled into Russell’s arms and yawned. “I’m exhausted though. I think I’ll take a nap, you can keep watch.” She said as she closed her eyes.

  A few hours later, a knock was heard at the door. Russell started up and Sonja’s eyes flew open.

  Over the loud speaker, an announcement in a thick Australian accent rang out. “Attention guests, we are now departing the island of Kauai and will be heading across the Pacific to Tonga, then on to French Polynesia and back to Australia. We hope you enjoy the rest of your voyage. Captain Arnold out.”

  Russell walked to the door and passed the key card in front of it to open it for the waiting steward.

  “There we go,” he said as he str
aightened his white uniform. They went over the passenger and worker’s manifests and found everyone accounted for. They did a quick search and left. It took them around five hours to search the entire boat, and yes they even came down here but didn’t notice this door.”

  Russell sighed in relief. “So as far as the Navy knows we’re still hiding somewhere on one of the smaller islands.”

  “Exactly.” The steward said. “Now, if you would be kind enough to give me your pseudonyms so I can put you on the ships roll, That way, you can collect the tips you are owed while you work, it could come in handy when you bail in French Polynesia.” He said with a wink.

  “So much for going to South America,” Sonja said.

  “I do know China would be very interested in this information, as well as Japan.” The steward said.

  “Japan is too risky, there is too much of an American presence there, it’ll have to be China.” Sonja replied. “By the way, we never managed to catch your name.”

  “I’m surprised you don’t remember me, Sonja. It’s me, Yuri.” The steward said with a smile.

  Sonja’s eyes widened in surprise and Russell let out a low whistle as he placed himself in front of Sonja, protectively.

  “Don’t worry, Tiger. I know she’s bonded to you now. I don’t need one. I managed to figure out how to get around that compulsion.” Yuri explained.

  “How?” Russell growled.

  “I got neutered. I’m perfectly docile now. I removed my tracking device and placed it on a wild bear. I ran off to China where they helped me calm down, they had an operative replace the blood sample they took from the bear with my own. They definitely could use that intel you have.”

  Sonja recovered from the shock. “Yuri, I’m...”

  “No, I’m sorry.” He said. “For the things I did to you in the past. When I pulled that stunt, I had a moment of clarity. I didn’t want to hurt you again so I ran.” Yuri explained. “Now, I’m trying to make it right by helping you out. We can’t have an army of us out there. We’re abominations and shouldn’t even exist. If it happens, this world will turn into something like planet of the apes.” Yuri lamented.
