Razar had hurried and he came into the kitchen. “I put something for you to wear in the bathroom because I figured you would want to clean up.”
“You’re right.” She told him with a smile.
Lista hurried to clean and dress because she hoped to watch him prepare lunch. It was her intention to help him next time. When she stepped out of the bathroom, the smells of food cooking already hit her nose.
“I’d hoped to get done in time to help.” Lista stood close by and watched as the food cooked. “This is like they fixed food on old Earth many generations ago.”
“How do they do it now?” He asked looking up with interest.
“We have enclosed cookers. You fix the food and set it inside on a timer until an alarm goes off and tells you it’s ready. Some of the wealthier people hire cooks to make their food this way and some of the spaceships have almost magical cookers that pull the food from the very air. Our teacher tried to explain how it worked, but most of us never truly understood. The problem is the food still doesn’t taste as it should but it is perfectly nutritious. Do you have those on your ships?”
“We tried them but our people love good food. They ended up taking them out and putting in small kitchens and large food storage areas. Looks like our food is done.” Razar divided up the food and handed her a plate. Once he filled it, he motioned for her to sit.
“What is this? It tastes good.”
“That is our version of wild rice and mushrooms. We have increased the varieties of vegetables and grains we grow hoping to please our mates. Many, like you, come from Earth so we have many Earth plants or genetically manipulated forms from here or other places grown to substitute for those you have at home. We desire nothing more than to make our mates happy. I wish nothing more than to please you.” They were sitting close and somehow they leaned in toward each other and their lips touched.
It amazed her how soft his lips were and how gentle his touch. Her lips tingled from the contact and she leaned in further and kissed him deeper. He tasted salty and spicy, sexy even. A flutter of desire unfurled in her belly and it confused her. She was no shrinking virgin, she was no slut either, but never had she felt this way with any man. His hand moved over her hair stroking it and his other hand held her by the back of her neck almost as if he feared she would try to escape.
His scent and taste was a heady combination and she wanted more. Her tongue licked his lower lip before she sucked it in then nibbled on it. Her desire was simmering but it would take little to fan the flames into a roaring fire. Where was the control she had always excelled at using? It was slipping and she found she wanted him, now.
How she ended up on his lap she couldn’t say but it felt good there. They were pressing up against each other and their tongues dueled. Her breath was coming in pants and she felt hot as fire. Razar picked her up, carried her to his room, and she decided she didn’t mind. Something about him had called to her since she’d seen his other half. Did she have the hots for a demon? Maybe but she’d felt drawn to Razar in his usual form too. She’d just been too stubborn to admit it. This was a necessary step if she wanted to find out if they were compatible. It was the first step in the decision to stay or go.
Setting her down on her feet he kissed her while he undressed her. She helped him when she could think straight. Something about him brought out the need in her and it was out of control. Her hands stroked him and pulled at his shirt wanting it out of the way. Now that he had her undressed he helped her strip him bare. Lista had to admit he was something else. Back home, on Earth, he could be an underwear model and have his pick of women, but here he wanted her so who was she to deny him?
He helped her down on the bed and he climbed over her. She looked up at him holding himself above her, the muscles rippled in his arms. Barely touching her with his body, he started to taste her with his mouth. Kissing his way down her throat, he worked his way to one pink nipple, nibbled on it, and she loved the way it felt. It hardened instantly. He moved to the other repeating the move and worked back and forth drawing whimpers and moans from her. It felt good, but it made her want and need more.
His lips worked lower skating across her abs and down to her navel. He kissed and licked there until she whimpered then he moved down. When he was finally at her center, she heard him breathe in deeply. “You smell so sweet.” He groaned. “I need to taste you!”
Then his tongue whipped out and she felt the wet end of it. It made her moan and spread her legs so he had easier access. Her whole center was open to him and he took his time scenting and looking. But now he was touching. His tongue speared her, moved in and out furiously while one hand moved to her clit circling and plucking. How did he know so much about females from Earth? Were their own females the same?
Now his tongue and hand switched places and he finger fucked her as his tongue and lips worried her little nubbin. She arched as his fingers slid inside her hitting a spot that made her almost come unglued. He seemed to know more about what pleased her than the men she had known back home. Her orgasm stayed just out of reach but it was so close. He sucked on her clit hard and sent her over the edge. Razar didn’t hesitate as he crawled up her body and impaled her on his huge erection. Even as caught up as she was in her orgasm, there was a pinch as he stretched her entrance.
Still for a moment so she could adjust, he began to rock into her slowly but steadily. Her legs came up around his hips and she pressed her toes into his ass cheeks the position allowing her leverage and his length to slip in just a little bit further. She whimpered and heard him growl in delight. Nothing she’d ever experienced in her life had felt this good.
It seemed like he waited until he was sure she was fully adjusted, then he sped up until he was driving hard into his mate. The sound of their bellies slapping echoed around the room. Their bodies slid over each other since they were both slicked with sweat. Nothing had ever felt so incredible to Lista and she just wanted more. Tension was curling inside her and Razar was making it build fast. Just a little bit more.
“Razar!” She screamed out as her release rolled through her making her squeeze him hard.
“Lista!” he yelled back and she felt the heat of his cum shooting into her. It was something she’d never felt before. It warmed her up from the inside out. He jerked and bucked against her until he finally stilled.
“I’ve never…” He said at a loss for words.
“Me either.” She admitted as she stared at the beautiful male above her. He slid off to the side lying next to her and he grabbed her hand. Sure, she’d had sex before and she assumed he had as well, but never had it touched her so deeply and profoundly.
“Wow.” Razar whispered and then he chuckled. She didn’t blame him because she felt pretty happy herself.
Chapter 6
Will She Stay
Razar was the happiest he’d ever been and he finally got ready to sleep. Surely after such an amazing experience Lista would never want to leave. He knew she had never been content at home and she hadn’t been properly appreciated either. That was something he didn’t understand because even though he’d come from a big family, ten boys, every one of them had felt loved not only by their parents, but by each other. He was the oldest and he’d picked up responsibility at a young age but he’d never felt overwhelmed.
His parent had never given him more than he could handle or even more than he was willing to do. Travlr was the next oldest and he would get his mate as soon as Razar cemented his mating which would hopefully be soon. With nine men who had to wait to mate until he was done, he felt the pressure. The need to bite her had been so strong, but he’d fought it. They needed to talk more about what mating him meant and he hoped it wouldn’t frighten her away. At least she wasn’t scared of his daig side. That was the side that controlled the mating because it was that part of him that made the mating venom.
His mate was snuggled against him sleeping deeply as her hand clutched at him from time
to time. She was seeking him subconsciously feeling safe close to him. It made him feel more confident of his ability to keep her with him. His inner demon had bonded with her on the first level, all that was left was the bite and the declaration of intent to stay together for life. There was nothing he wouldn’t do to keep this female with him. He could only hope that would be enough. Her scent filled his nose and he wanted more of her but she needed to rest. Whatever she needed that would always come first with him.
Wrapping his arms around her, he knew that right now there was nothing he could do but rest with her. Relaxing and enjoying the soft delightful woman in his arms, he fell asleep to the most marvelous dreams that simply relived what they had already done.
Razar eased his arm out from under his female. His kind generally needed only four to six hours of sleep and he knew humans needed more so he didn’t want to wake her. Once he was out of bed he slipped on some shorts and went out to the living room. Someone sat on his couch using his computer. It was Travlr.
“What the hell are you doing here?” Razar stared at his brother.
“It’s crowded at home and I wanted to see how you were progressing. I’m ready to find my own mate.”
“Your presence isn’t helpful.”
Travlr sniffed loudly. “I see you’re making reasonable progress. Mating should soon follow providing you did it right.”
Razar threw a pillow at his brother. “I’ll have you know I know how to do that just fine.”
“Glad to hear it since we’re all depending on you to get things wrapped up.”
“Yeah, I can’t wait until Glendar interrupts your mating to see how it’s going.”
“That’s not the only reason I’m here. I thought you’d want company for breakfast since humans need so much extra sleep.”
“We’re not sure if they’ll need that after bonding or not. These are the first humans that will become part of our community.”
“You think the bite will lessen their need for sleep?”
“I don’t know, but it will make some changes, of that there’s no doubt.”
“That would be so cool. I want all the waking time with my mate I can have. That way I’ll never be lonely again.”
“If she gets to know you too well she may run and hide.”
“Ha ha. You’re so funny big brother. Go fix me some breakfast. I’ll make the coffee. It’s not too bad and we need to get used to it. Remember they said humans drink it by the gallon socially.”
“They did say that but Lista only had two cups and she said she never got real coffee anymore. Maybe they aren’t completely right about these females. Come on, let’s eat breakfast.”
Razar cooked and fed his younger brother. There was much love among his family and all were fully part of the family. Razar knew families that had a black sheep, his family wasn’t one of them. They were blessed by their gods that they all were a happy part of the family. Lista would fit in perfectly, he knew his whole family would just love her.
Travlr and he sat and talked a while until Lista woke and joined them. After making introductions, Razar got up and fixed Lista something to eat. When he was done and put the plate in front of her, she and Travlr were laughing up a storm. He was happy they seemed to get along so well, really. But he wanted her to get along with him better than anyone. It was time for his brother to go so he and his mate could continue to bond. Travlr and Razar exchanged a look and Travlr made his excuses and left.
“I’m glad we’re alone now.” Razar looked at her with rampant desire as he spoke.
“Why is that?” She asked even though she had to know what he meant.
“Unless you’re hungry or sleepy, I suggest we clean up.” She nodded and his mouth went dry. He was ready for her now and excitement buzzed through him.
Leading her into the bathroom, he undressed quickly and she just stood watching him. That was alright because he helped her strip too. Since they were both naked he turned on the water setting the temperature at very warm. Pulling her under the water with him, she moaned out loud.
“That feels nice.” She admitted staring at him. He nudged her under the spray so her hair would get wet then wet his own hair too.
Razar got a dollop of shampoo and washed her hair making sure he was tender, but thorough. Pushing her under he made sure all the soap was rinsed out. Next he added conditioner working it gently through her hair. He could no longer hold back and he pulled her up against him kissing her lips until his were numb. The female was his perfect match so far in every way. His life would be nothing if he couldn’t convince her to stay.
Filling his hands with a special body wash, he began to massage it all over her body. “That tingles. Is it supposed to do that?” Lista asked looking a little nervous.
“It’s got properties similar to peppermint. It is invigorating.”
“I’ll say. It’s tingling all over especially there.”
His hands kept lathering and rubbing and she moaned and squirmed. It delighted him to watch her and it also made his cock jump. There was nothing he’d like to do more than sink it inside her. The tray berry leaves that caused the tingle also had a sweet scent that acted like a pheromone. Lista seemed to be influenced by it too. He couldn‘t rinse her off fast enough because he wanted to claim her. Once the soap was all gone, her arms came up around his neck and he kissed her, fire raging through him. His hands reached down to grab the soft cheeks of her ass and he pulled her up onto his hard shaft. Her legs came around him wrapping him tight as he slid in her slippery channel feeling welcomed home.
He turned so he could use the wall to settle her against as he began to thrust in hard and deep. There was a rumble of enjoyment deep in his chest as she crooned to him urging him to go even faster and deeper. Her channel squeezed rhythmically giving him indescribable pleasure. His demon was near the surface enjoying their joining and biding his time until he could mate her. He pounded into his female and she was slick and took all he had to give. She urged him on wanting more and he felt a tingle running down his back. Her channel tightened and he knew she was on the edge of her own release.
The wet squishing sound as he slammed into her excited him more than he could say and pushed him closer to his orgasm with each drive inside her. Her nails dug into his back feeding him just a small amount of pain, but he embraced it. Moving one hand between them he searched for her sensitive bundle of nerves so he could push her over the edge into bliss. When he found it he pulled it between his thumb and his finger and she exploded around him allowing him to follow. She screamed his name and her channel clamped down hard on his cock squeezing his essence out of it. Razar bucked and jerked against her feeling the most powerful release he could imagine. It pulled from his toes all the way through his body and even his scalp felt electrified from it. They both gasped struggling even to breathe and he felt his mate shiver in her delight.
Their coming together had been perfect, so completely wonderful that surely it was a sign that they should be bound together forever. He nuzzled her neck as he continued to hold her close reluctant to let her get away from him.
“Have you thought about staying here and mating me? I would make you happy, I swear!” Razar whispered into her ear as he held her tight.
“I’ve thought of nothing else. My old home never made me really happy but I’m afraid that if I stay here I might become unhappy later and it will be too late to leave.”
“I would never allow you to be unhappy. You would be the center of my world.”
“Tell me more about what mating involves.”
“A male wins his mate in the games.”
“Is hunting the only game?”
“No, but it is the most common one. Most public games where many play are hunts. The royals didn’t like hunts, they found them too common and dirty. They usually played games like puzzles or ran mazes. Once the mate is caught, the male gives her a chance to rest and clean up before he shows her that he
can give her what she needs.”
“So he woos her?”
“Yes, if he gets her agreement, they will make love and he administers his mating bite which transfers the venom, they exchange a promise to stay together forever, and the male chants magical binding words. I’ve been told you feel the mating take hold and then you are joined for all time.”
“Does it hurt?”
“I’ve been told it feels magical and wonderful.”
“It sounds romantic. How are you sure when it is right?”
“There is a feeling there and when the games commence, the mate you see is meant to be yours.”
“You only saw me?”
“Yes, no one else existed for me but you.”
“Sometimes you say the most beautiful things.”
“You make me feel the most beautiful things.”
A few days passed as they grew closer and became more addicted to each other. It wasn’t just the sex, they had much in common and she was as physical as he was. She also rarely slept the eight or more hours he’d been told to expect usually fully recharged with six. He and others of his kind generally slept a solid four hours unless ill or wounded. The differences didn’t seem to be large and they adjusted to each other perfectly. Each day he hoped she would tell him she was ready and she seemed to become more a part of him and his world with each passing moment.
Razar fixed breakfast waiting for his female to wake and join him. He was almost done when she came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. She leaned on him for a moment. “I see you’re cooking. It smells great.”
“Breakfast for us, Mate.” He used the term mate hoping she’d get used to it. Nothing would make his life more perfect than finally claiming his female.
They sat down and ate their food quietly until they were nearly done. “I would like you to accompany me to my parent’s house.”
