"Keys,” Kai said as he turned to a warrior that was guarding me. The warrior unlocked the chains on me. Then Kai grabbed my arm, harshly.
"Oh, Kai, I was…” I began to say.
"Don't. I will hear nothing from you. Just walk in silence for once,” he said angrily.
I bit my lower lip. I was restraining myself from slapping him in the face. But I knew I couldn't do so here. It wouldn't be seen as a mere gesture of anger toward him. It would be seen as very hostile, and they would be forced to defend him and possibly kill me, and my child. So I stayed silent and let him yank me through the large room. He was practically dragging me. He was still pissed at me. That was fine for now. I understood that we needed to get out of there as quickly as possible before the Supreme Council changed their mind.
"I need transport to Spornium comet right now,” Kai said to an administrative-looking Corillion that stood outside the large port. I could see ships coming and going; it was a very busy port.
"There is transport leaving now. You are in luck. Port 560,” he said to Kai.
"Mark that I, Captain Kai Spornium, and his prisoner mate, Karissa Lane, will be on that transport to Spornium,” Kai said. He made his mark on some sort of screen and then he grabbed my arm and dragged me off again. I was anxious to be going so quickly. This was good news. We were getting off this rock, and he was taking me to his home. Only then could we sort things out. I would keep my mouth shut until then. I did not want to stir up any trouble with the Corillion. I knew that we had been let off out of luck and that we should both be dead.
But when we arrived, nothing had changed. I saw the stark landscape of the comet Spornium. It was a large gray rock going through the galaxy in an oval orbit. The transport landed inside of a glass bubble. There was a large city in there. This was Spornium.
I rode in silence with Kai at my side to a very large building built of the same material as the great comet. It was the biggest building in the city.
"This is it. This is my home. This will be your home,” he said coldly to me as he stepped out of the land vehicle.
"Kai. Speak to me. I think it is safe now. You do not have to be so cold,” I said to him, hoping that he would drop the act.
"I will show you to your rooms,” he said coldly.
"Will we not be sharing a room?" I asked. He did not answer me. I followed him inside the great building. It was beautiful and it was technologically advanced. I was surprised that he lived in such a place. Then I forgot: he was the leader of this tribe in this area. Of course he would live like a king.
"These are your rooms. You are not to leave this area. You will be fed well and treated well. Anything that you need in order to take care of the offspring shall be yours. Now I leave you,” he said as he walked away from me. The door shut behind him. I tried to open it.
"Kai! You come back here! You cannot shut me out like this! I am the damn mother of your child!” I shouted. But it was no use. I was not going to let him keep this up for very long. If he was going to ignore me, then I was going to have to do something very drastic. No one would treat me like this, especially not a Corillion. I WOULD GET HIS ATTENTION!
Chapter 12
CAPTAIN KAI SPORNIUM
Could I really trust her? Could I trust this agent from a human agency known as E.I.A.? She had left me in that dungeon to rot. Did she know all along that she was carrying my offspring? The look of shock on her face when we were all told the news made me think that she did not know. But perhaps she was acting; she was a trained agent after all, trained in deceit and disguise. Perhaps she had already knew and was keeping it from me on purpose. Perhaps that is why she did not come to me in the dungeon; she did not want to tell me. She did not want me to find out. She had been hoping to just be rid of me and go on to have the offspring on her own. I did not want to think of her in this way, but I had to. I had to protect myself. I had to protect the offspring.
So when I offered to take her from the council, I knew that I had to save my offspring, and that meant saving Karissa's life. I would take her in as my mate. Before it was all that I had ever wanted, after the first time that I was with her. I wanted more and more of her after that first time. But after she left me in the dungeon, I began to see her differently; now I wasn't so sure. But I did not have a choice. She was not my responsibility. She was now my property. She was now the mother of my offspring. But I did not have to love her.
So I thought it was a clever plan to set her up in comfort in her own portion of my large house. She would be well fed. She would be treated well and taken care of so that she could grow strong and the offspring inside of her could grow strong as well. But I did not need to interact with her. In fact, I took every opportunity to avoid her. I knew that if she started a conversation with me, I would not be able to get out of it. I knew that whatever she had to say would cause me to cave in. But would she mean it? She had been pleading with me, as though she loved me. But had she only decided to change in that way after her circumstances became so problematic and this was her only choice? I was her only choice? I would never know.
I did everything that I could to avoid her. I had a lot of catching up to do on my responsibilities and work. I was the leader of the tribe after all, and I have been gone for almost a month or more. So the large amount of work kept me very busy. I made sure that Karissa's area of the house was stocked with food and comforts. But knowing that she was nearby was frustrating for me. I was in an internal conflict. A part of me wanted to go to her and be with her. But the other part of me would remember how she abandoned me in the dungeons of the lunar base.
A part of me remembered that she possibly knew about this pregnancy and had kept it secret from me on purpose. A part of me remembered who I was really dealing with: a trained agent of the E.I.A. It was then that I would get angry and remember not to fall for her at all.
I would find myself walking to her door and then talking myself out of going in. I would periodically check on her and I would stand out in the hall when food and supplies were delivered to her, but that was because I did not trust any Corillion warriors to be alone with her and because only I could open the door. She was way too tempting; I should know. Only I had the key to open her rooms, so I had to be there waiting in the hall. But I think she eventually caught onto the fact that I was waiting out in the hall, that I was the only one that could open the door. Perhaps it was one of the Corillion warriors that told her I was the only one that could open the door and she figured out that I must be nearby whenever deliveries came to her. She must have known in order to make a plan like the one that she came up with, one that was shocking, but also very effective.
"Make sure to empty any refuse in there when you deliver these foods. I do not need my mate living in filth,” I ordered the two Corillion warriors that were standing outside of her room hallway with me.
"Yes, Captain,” they said as I passed my hand on the wall and the door opened. Before they could enter, Karissa stepped out into the hallway completely naked.
We all stood there frozen, staring at her gorgeous, naked body. Her long black hair was down, and a part of it covered her ample breasts. But I could see her rosy, hard nipple sticking through the strands. My body groaned and ached for her. My eyes moved down her body to her firm belly and long thighs and the treasure between them. Then my eyes moved up to her face where her full red lips were smirking, and her eyebrow was arched. I was completely hard in an instant. Then I remembered that there were two other warriors standing there staring at her.
"Leave us,” I said to them angrily. They reluctantly turned, getting their eyeful before they left. I angrily scooped her up in my arms.
"Karissa, have you lost your mind?” I said as I carried her inside. She put her arms around my neck and pushed her fingers into my hair.
"I had to get your attention somehow,” she said as her hands moved from my neck over my shoulder and over my chest as she began to rub me up-and-down. I shut the door behind me and t
hen I carried her over to the bed. I placed her on it.
"What is the meaning of this?” I said to her, trying to stop myself from jumping on top of her. I moved away from her and grabbed a sheet and placed it on top of her. She only pulled it off of her and lay there naked.
"I miss you inside of me. Do you not miss being inside of me?” she said to me sensually. It was not what I wanted to hear. I wanted her to fight and argue with me. I wanted to get my blood raging in such anger that I would leave her, walk out of there. But that's not what she was doing. Instead, her hand moved up and down the inside of her thigh. It was torture to watch.
"I must get back to work. Do not pull a stunt like that again," I said to her.
She narrowed her eyes at me and then stood up on top of the bed. Now she was just as tall as me. She grabbed my face and pulled it to her and planted a kiss on my lips. That's it. That's all it took. I was gone with just this one kiss.
My hands instinctively went to the small of her back, and her naked, soft skin felt amazing underneath my large hands. She was so damn soft and smooth. I kissed her deeply and her mouth opened, letting my tongue in. I rubbed my hands up and down her back. There was so much that I wanted to say to her, and so much that I'm sure she wanted to yell at me. But all of that was gone in this one moment. I picked her up into my arms and kissed her, ravishing her. I couldn't wait any longer.
Chapter 13
KARISSA LANE
I had to do something. I couldn't stand the way Kai had been avoiding me. He wasn't even bringing me food and supplies; he had his warriors do it. There was no way that I could ever get his attention. I would plead with the warriors to have him sent to my chamber, or to let me go to him, but they were always so good to follow the orders that Kai had given them. After a couple of days, I’d had enough of this. I was going to do something drastic in order to get his attention, and I knew it would work.
I figured out that the only way to open the door was with Kai's handprint. One of the warriors had let that small amount of information out by mistake when they once brought me food. It was then that I realized that he must be out in the hallway. He was the only one that could open the door, therefore, he had to be present.
After finding this out, I put my plan into action. The warriors came at the same time every three days to bring supplies and to take out the trash. It was like clockwork. So I knew exactly when they would be coming. So I waited. I stripped off all my clothes and wrapped a sheet around me. Then I waited by the door just a full minute before I knew it was going to open. I pulled my hair down and let it loose, tumbling over my chest. I was ready. As soon as the door opened, I dropped the sheet and stepped out into the hallway, completely naked, completely confident.
There Kai stood, just as I had predicted. He stood there frozen as he stared at me, and so did the other two warriors. They were not expecting this. I had caught them all off guard, and now they stared at me with open mouths. I watched as Kai allowed his gaze to go up and down my entire body. It was then that I realized that he still wanted me as I heard a slight groan escape his mouth.
So when he picked me up and put me on the bed, I knew that I had at least made some progress. He had not been into these rooms since the first time that he brought me here. Now we were alone, and I was going to get his attention. I was going to prove that he wanted me and that his stupid silent treatment was nothing more than that: stupid.
I stood up on the bed and pulled him to me, kissing him. As soon as his lips pressed to mine, I remembered how good he felt and I was not going to let him get away.
My hand went straight over his blue scales. I had longed to touch them. My fingers itched to touch them. He was an alien warrior, a strong one, and now the father of my child and I wanted him now more than ever. I wasn’t just naked in front of him to get his attention; it was because I could no longer stand being apart from him. He was all that I wanted now. He had done so much for me. He had saved my life more than once, and I had saved his, and so we were deeply bonded now. I needed him. I needed him badly.
He moaned softly in my mouth. I felt myself grow wet between my thighs. Then his hand slid from my lower back over my bottom. I knew what he was doing. He was going to do it like before. So I picked up my right leg and set my knee on his hip, opening up for him. He groaned and let his hand slip, down, down until it was flush against my center. His long hand covered all of me and his finger found my clitoris. He massaged and pressed his finger on it.
“Oh yes. Yes, Kai. Don’t stop touching me,” I whispered between kisses. He grunted a loud, animal-like grunt and picked me up. I wrapped my other leg around his waist, and now he carried me. One hand was on my bottom while the other was on my wet center. He carried me to the table and sat me down on it.
“I miss the way you feel. I want to have you again,” he whispered.
“Yes, take me, Kai. Please take me,” I said as he kissed down my neck and over my breasts. His hand lightly massaging my clitoris while his tongue tickled my hard nipples. I thought I would explode into orgasm at any second.
Then he moved lower and lower, and when he got to my belly, he stopped. He looked up at me. I looked down at him, his blond hair framing his beautiful face and blue eyes that looked full of kindness for the first time in a long time. Then he put his hand on my belly in a very gentle way. I gasped as he did so. He looked at my belly with such love. It made my heart grow bigger and bigger.
Then he looked up at me, and his look went from love to devious smirk. Then in a swift move, he buried his face between my thighs. It shocked me, but in a good way. How did he know how to do this? Had he been brushing up on his reading? I didn’t care. It was too good to think about anything else other than his head in my wet center. I pushed my fingers into his hair. He licked me and sucked on my clitoris lightly. I moaned and wiggled on the table. I couldn’t take anymore.
“I’m cumming! Kai! Oh yes!” I shouted as I released onto his face. He licked slower and slower in a very delicate matter.
“I’ve wanted to taste you since I first saw you. You taste delicious. I finally get to know what you taste like,” he whispered as he licked me. Tiny pulses went through my entire body, and I relished every one of them. I breathed heavily as he kissed the inside of my thighs. Then he picked me up from the counter and set me on my feet. I stood before him as he towered over me, so tall. I pressed my palms against his hard six-pack abs and blue scales.
“How does that feel Karissa I am told a human female needs to be lubricated before I enter her,” he said playfully as he made light of what he said the first time we were together.
“Yes, it feels good. Yes, I am lubricated. But you know, it can go both ways,” I said as I wrapped my hand around his hard cock.
“What? What do you mean?” he asked. But I did not answer. Instead, I went down on my knees in front of him and placed the tip of his cock in my mouth.
“Oh fuck,” he whispered. I smiled. I wanted to please him. I wanted him to feel the deliciousness of receiving. He groaned and sucked in a sharp breath of air, and I pushed his cock further into my mouth, little by little. Kai put his hands in my hair. I moved my mouth back and forth on him, and he pulled a little harder on my hair. I placed my hands on his hips and licked and sucked on him until I heard his breathing grow harder and harder, and then I stopped. I looked up at him.
“I didn’t know that would feel so good,” he said.
“Yes, it does. There is much you don’t know about, but I can show you in time,” I said to him. Then he reached down and picked me up to my feet. Then he picked me up and laid me on the bed. I lay on my back and opened my thighs wide for him. He crawled on the bed and then hovered over me.
“I don’t want to hurt you. You are so small, and you carry our child inside of you,” he said.
“If you don’t put your weight on me, I will be fine. Just stay up on your elbows like you are now,” I said as I grabbed his cock and placed the tip inside of me.
He moan
ed and closed his eyes for a second. “You are so warm.”
Then I wrapped my legs around him and pushed him inside of me, slowly. We both groaned loudly in ecstasy at the sensation we were feeling. I pushed him deeper and deeper until he was all the way within me. Then he stopped and began to rock and sway his hips back and forth in short bursts. I screamed out in bliss. It felt so good. I loved the feel of his alien scales underneath my hands.
“That feels so good. I missed being inside of you. I forgot how good it felt to be inside of you,” he whispered.
“I missed it too,” I said as I kissed his chest. He was so tall that he loomed high over me and my face was aligned with his strong blue-scaled chest. Then he said something that made me think the fact that he was so much larger than I was bothered him.
“I want to see you, Amber. I want to see your beautiful face,” he whispered. Then he stopped and pulled himself out of me. He moved down my body and looked at my face. Then he rolled onto his back.
“I want to see you too,” I said, understanding what he wanted. I moved on top of him and straddled him.
