Zylan Rebellion

by Ravyn Wilde

“No. It’s not that,” she replied softly. “I am sorry, Raj. I was just thinking about being in Tanar and all the people. I don’t know if I can do this. I don’t think I can take being around others for very long and I’m worried. Do you live in Tanar, Raj? I don’t think I can live…”

  She was doing it again. Her fear screamed down the links and into his heart. He held her tight to his chest and turned to sit on a log with Nika cradled on his lap. “It’s okay, little one. It’s okay. Breathe for me. In. Out. We will only be in Tanar a short time and you can stay in the Ruling Place if you wish, sequestered in my chambers there. You only have to see Tar and Mica and their mates.”

  He waited for her to relax and focus on him. “I don’t live in Tanar, sweet, or in any large city. My family home is in Zelph. I live on the outer edge of the small village where there is a large lake and several streams nearby and a small pond on our property. It’s a bit remote and there aren’t many people in the area. You will be happy there. As your mate, I can do no less than make sure this is so.”

  Nika smiled at the smug confidence in his tone. But she was reassured that they would only be in Tanar for a short time. She could hide in his chamber if she needed to and he would understand and explain her phobia to others, as she didn’t want to offend anyone by her need to be alone.

  “Thank you, Raj, for understanding. I am sorry to be so…”

  “Don’t. Do not apologize for anything, Nika. I recognize how hard this is for you, what you have gone through. We will work through any issues together and make any changes necessary to make you feel safe and happy. Never hesitate to tell me if you are uncomfortable in a situation or need time alone. Well…not alone, but with only me,” he said with an exaggerated leer.

  Relieved, she laughed happily and ran her fingers through his dark hair. In the suns, his hair took on red highlights she hadn’t noticed before they’d entered the cave and the feel of the soft strands were warm to her touch. “You are insatiable.”

  “Yeah, and we need to keep moving or I’ll keep us here for another couple of bi-nons. This is a beautiful part of the forest, what do you say we walk for a while? I told Mica we would be at the palace shortly after dark and we have plenty of time to enjoy being outside and together.”

  “That would be nice. We were confined in the cave for a long time and while I enjoyed my time there, it would be wonderful to stretch my legs a bit.”

  Raj could strangle himself, knowing that her ordeal made her a little claustrophobic and yet he hadn’t given her a chance to enjoy being out in the open. He swore he would remember to give her time each bi-non to enjoy the outdoors. After this conversation, he would watch to make sure she wasn’t getting overwhelmed in any way. It would take time to heal the emotional scars from being in Brac’s ghastly care.

  He held her hand as they started walking down the trail. It was a beautiful day. The suns’ rays cut through the trees and warmed their skin, creating patterns of light and shadow along the path. There were many flowers in bloom during this season and the blossoms created a vivid pattern of color against the aqua foliage of the forest. A light breeze blew, bringing with it the spicy fragrance of growing things.

  “Raj, can I ask you a question?”

  “Of course, my love. What bothers you? I can feel your confusion.”

  “Do you know how I can work on my psychic powers? I feel as if there are things locked inside me that are just waiting to pour out, but the power seems frozen inside. Or worse, I have an idea of what my abilities might be but I can’t seem to fine-tune them enough to be useful. Like my premonition in Vidar, I could feel something coming closer, but I didn’t know what or where it was coming from. It is very frustrating.” Nika stopped and turned to look at Raj, her brow creased in agitation. He could tell this had been worrying her.

  “Many psychic powers are discovered by accident. There are tests you can go through to uncover some of the more common abilities. I can help you try some of the simple exercises and Mica will be able to help you with the more complicated trials. You will also share some of my abilities now.”

  “Will they get stronger the more time I spend under Zylar’s moons?”

  “Yes. Definitely. Your powers will grow by leaps and bounds. Sometimes the power is there—it just takes using it to realize what you’re dealing with. Like the premonitions, the more you have them…the more you will be able to understand what the apprehensiveness means to you.”

  Satisfied with his explanation, they continued to walk through the forest, often along trails too narrow for them to remain side by side and Raj let Nika take the lead. This was totally selfish on his part as he spent the time behind her fantasizing. He loved the effortless way she moved, the smooth and fluid motion of her body as she glided over the ground He especially enjoyed watching the sway of her bottom and how the material between her legs would sometimes expose little bits of her skin or stretch tight across her buttocks to cuddle and frame her ass. Her hair was done in a long braid that swayed from side to side when she walked, mesmerizing him.

  Strolling behind her, he thought how easy it would be to pull the fabric from between her thighs and have her open to him. He unconsciously clenched his hands into tight fists as he imagined sinking his fingers into her, kneading her bottom and pulling her tight against him. It was becoming almost impossible to walk, as with each step his cock seemed to grow and harden with its own demand. Unable to stop this sexual fantasy, he imagined draping her over a fallen log and driving into her over and over again. The sunlight would gleam over her skin and he’d watch himself sink into her depths.

  He let his guard down and allowed her soul trails to reach back and stroke him. Opening their psychic link, he tugged on those glimmering threads at the same time.

  “Raj?” Nika stopped and turned to him, her eyes heavy with passion. He used their connection to broadcast his longing for her, let her see his thoughts and the mental images of how they could pleasure one another. Their mating fervor still controlled much of their actions and he knew she would feel the pull and have no desire to fight against it. Aroused and hungry, he waited for her.

  Silently she walked up to him and, without words, reached out to lightly run her hand down his chest and feather a brush of touch over his penis. Stroking against the sensitive head, she skimmed the long root through the fabric.

  With a thought, Raj had them naked.

  Plucking an intriguing picture from his mind, she slipped through his hands and lost no time in dropping to her knees in front of him to worship his body with her mouth. Hot and moist she slid over the tip, the sensation a tight fist of pleasure. Sucking in a breath as her tongue danced along his ultra-sensitive rim around the head of his shaft, and he exhaled as she sent waves of stimulation through his entire body.

  His teeth clenched and every muscle tightened while his blood pounded hot in his veins. The links gathered energy and amplified the feelings back to them. The boundary between their thoughts shifted and blurred as each stroke of her mouth and tongue was shared within their collective consciousness.

  The combination of savage lust and love hit them at the same time. Very little of his brain functioned and he could only focus on moving his hips to follow the rhythm she set. Fighting the urge to bury his hands in her hair and pull her closer, he instead set them on his hips, as he didn’t wish her to think he was trying to force her to pleasure him. Pulling him deeper into her throat, she tantalized and tormented him until the pressure built to an unbearable degree. The links’ connection swelled with the desires of Nika’s body. This wouldn’t be enough for him. He had to have the heat of her clenching sheath surrounding him.

  Growling deep in his throat, he reached down to tug carefully at her hair and brought her face away from his groin. Looking up at him with her eyes glazed in a sensual fog, he forced her up his body and slid his hands over her. Kneading her breasts, he played with the chains at her nipples and made her gasp and writhe in his hands. Bending his head to find her
mouth, he tasted the salty essence of his pre-come on her tongue. Taking control of her body, he worked to ensure she caught up with his hunger. Nibbling at her mouth, he simultaneously opened her thighs with his leg and slid his hand over her stomach, stopping to tease the link chain at her belly button. She moaned into his mouth.

  He continued down to the mass of tiny curls over her mound and found her dripping with moisture She was ready for him. Wanting him. Sampling the hot, slick wetness by pushing two fingers into her channel, he ignored her cries of passion and pushed deeper, forcing her to ride his hand, wanting her to burn for him. She cried out his name, her breath coming in gasps.

  Only when she begged him, as her body rocked and started to tighten around his fingers, did he look around to find the nearest log. Finding one a few feet away, he mentally fashioned a soft blanket to protect her soft skin and covered the bark. Gently positioning her, he bent her over the log so the curve of her bottom was at the perfect angle. Nika used her arms to hold her upper body away from the tree so she could look over her shoulder at him. The sun embellished her red skin with its golden caress and he saw heat flare in her eyes as he moved against her. Reveling in the sight of her spread before him, he palmed the flesh of her ass and rubbed his erection along the seam of her perfect cheeks.

  Her pussy was hot and slick and he used the ripe head of his cock to nuzzle against it lovingly. She pushed back, trying to get him to enter her, but he held on, prolonging the minon, enjoying the friction and building the tormenting pulse of the links hum.

  Enjoying the view as the tip of his shaft disappeared within the enveloping folds of her body until he could take no more. The first minon of full entry felt like heaven. He thrust hard, his hands on her hips as her tight sheath swallowed his shaft and her breasts swayed beneath her. Over and over he dove into her with long, fast strokes while she bucked and sobbed. Moving one hand along her back he reached around her to take a breast in his palm, pulling his fingers together to pinch the tip. He delighted in her scream.

  Nothing mattered but the velvet friction and heat he found between her thighs. Linked without end and sharing sensations, he balanced on the brink of control. Feeling her need for more, he thrust deeper, used the shared mental path to move exactly the way she wanted him to. Dragging her back toward him with each hard stroke, he rode her hard and furiously, wanting to stay a part of her forever. She cried out in pleasure and rolled her hips to meet him.

  They were wild and frantic, mating to try and fill the terrible hunger they carried embedded within their bodies for each other. He felt her body tighten around his, milking…demanding as she shattered with her release. With a loud roar, he poured his seed deep within her womb and slowly lowered his chest over her, carefully resting his head on her back while their hearts settled to the same rhythm and he rode the final vibrations of pleasure within her quivering flesh.

  Chapter Nine

  Raj moved them to a nearby stream where they could wash and cool off in the water. After they dried, he once again dressed them in their link garments and then provided something to eat. He’d been constantly scanning the area and sensed no threat. It would be a good time for Nika to practice some of her powers. “Have you ever shifted your form before, Nika?”

  She looked at him with a sad smile. “No. Before being captured, I had no idea of any of my psychic powers and there was no reason to try while I was alone in my cell. I never knew if I could transform or not.”

  “Transformation can be difficult and there are only a select few with this ability. It is one of my strongest powers, and with our link should be easy for you to accomplish now,” he commented. “Our link bond will allow me to merge with your mind and project the steps you need to follow. Conversely, I will be here to assist you if you have any problems returning to your own form. The links will also enable us to communicate mentally no matter what form we are in. Would you like to try? We can travel most of the remaining distance in leonar form and still be in Tanar before the moons rise.”

  “Oh, yes! I would love to be able to transform. Tell me what to do!” she demanded, excitement evident in her glowing face.

  Relieved to have found a way to take the sadness from her eyes, he stood and motioned her closer. “It will be easier if I show you.” Creating a link with her mind, he mentally showed her, in easy steps, what she needed to do.

  “Got it!” Exclaiming excitedly she closed her eyes, concentration creasing her brow. Zylar’s leonars were a very large breed of feline with spotted gray-black fur. Her body shook with anticipation as she followed the instructions Raj provided. Soon, she blinked at his human form from the restless eyes of a large female cat. Mentally she giggled. Come on, Raj. Let’s run.

  Smiling, he dropped to the ground. The much larger body of the male leonar crowded impatiently into the smaller female as he lightly nipped the back of her neck. They padded away from the stream and were soon bounding through the woods.

  Raj couldn’t shake the thought that before they transferred back to their human form he would like to see if the story of sex with the leonar’s barbed cock was as fantastic as the rumors and hints had led him to believe. It was purported the barb could keep them tied together for a very long time…even several nilts. If she were in heat, it would be bi-nons before they could break the connection.

  Supposedly the barb would hit a spot within the female, causing an orgasm of mythical proportions. When they reached the outlying borders of Tanar, he would see how much time they’d used up. He realized the anticipation would keep him half-aroused for the remainder of the journey.

  Nika was having more fun than she’d ever imagined. Running and leaping, soaring across the ground in the form of the leonar was an experience she would often want to repeat. The animal’s senses gave her a different perspective of the world around her, allowing her to hear many things she wouldn’t have noticed. In this form, she could hear bugs crawl along the ground and the whisper of soft wind high in the trees. The only problem with her new body seemed to be its constant state of semi-arousal. She’d been on low vibrate almost from the time they’d transformed.

  The closer they got to their destination, the more pronounced the carnal sensations became. By the time Raj indicated they should stop, her body rippled with anxious alarm and the need to mate. The hidden links inside the beast’s body seemed to stroke her from within and thrum straight through her center. Growling in agony, she rolled onto her back. Raj!

  Nika’s cat body burned with primal heat. Meeting the feral gaze of the beast who’d moved to stand over her, she hissed. Caging her with his body, his large paws straddled her form, his head bent to her neck and he bared his teeth against her throat. Her animal heart thrilled in reaction to his domineering position as she recognized her mate.

  Mine. You need me, Nika. You need me, now! You are mine in all ways. I have claimed you. You burn for what only I—and my cock—can give you. In the last throes of linking fever, Raj realized their thoughts had become entwined with the beasts. It didn’t matter if the three moons of Zylar were rising and Mica expected them in Tanar, they could not deny this.

  Okay. Can’t concentrate…help me change…

  No! This way. Let me bury this cock deep within you. I can’t wait, Nika. Now! Raj nuzzled Nika’s exposed neck and lowered his body to push his unsheathed cock against her furry stomach. Letting her feel the hot pulsing need he could no longer control, he rubbed against her and purred into her softness while he vibrated the open links to share his spiraling arousal. Shifting to the side, he rolled her to her stomach by butting against her with his head. Once she’d gained her feet, he bit the back of her neck and forced her to drop to her front paws and raise her hips. Positioning his large body over her smaller form, he situated his groin against her exposed flanks.

  Pushing the swollen head of his cock against her wild heat, he growled low in his throat in reaction to the sensitive barb breaking through the tip of his flesh. Exploring the responsive area exposed
to him, he raked the barb over her inflamed tissues…but didn’t penetrate. Moving and sliding against her, he pulled away before he could find a home in her weeping sheath.

  Growling her displeasure, she pushed back against him but he avoided her, moving away. Again she pressed in urgent demand, this time using her mind to punctuate her need. Now. Do it now! The link between them allowed him to feel her growing desperation…the throbbing spiral of ache deep inside her. With a hard forward thrust, he plunged into her body and then rocked from the devastating reaction as the barb burst fully through his skin and lodged in her inner folds.

  Ahnika roared in primal ecstasy at the piercing jolt when something stabbed into an unknown spot deep within her. The sharp pleasure-pain sent her into a mindless fervor. The added movement of fur-covered balls slapping against an outside pleasure point combined to drive her body to a clawing desperation.

  His haunches worked against her, pumping furiously as she arched into the pleasure, meeting every thrust. Using the links, he magnified every sensation and when her climax built and then burst around him, he demanded more. Driving her to the brink over and over again, he allowed her to fall and then worked them both to an even higher peak. He continued to assault her senses, forcing her beyond the limits of her human endurance. Beyond the limits of his own as he permitted the beast take over with his barbed cock buried in his mate’s passage—no longer able to control the animal within.

  Each time she came, it was as if the world exploded and all feeling in the universe existed within her small frame. It would slam through her and she would be certain she would die from too much pleasure and before she could collapse, he would be pushing her up again. His body surrounded her. His cock, so thick and hot, filled her…stroking desperately inside until the barbed jolts threatened to tear her apart.

  And, linked, he rode every wave with her, feeling blast after blast of explosive energy. Her body began to vibrate with intense eruptions. The orgasms were strung like beads, one following another with no rest in between the showers of exquisite release erupting through them. The pleasure built so high, it shot them hurtling into a climatic detonation that ripped them into unconsciousness. Their bodies remained connected and they twitched in silent oblivion with the aftershocks.
