Feral: A Dark Sci-Fi Romance

by Sara Fields

  As soon as he was fully inside me, he took my fingers and allowed me to release my backside. As my cheeks pressed against the girth of his cock, my shame intensified, and I moaned with it the power of it.

  “Hands back on the rock,” he said, and I obeyed.

  Once my fingers touched the hard surface of the boulder, he began to truly punish me. His hips slammed into mine and I whimpered as he used me and took me for his own pleasure, rather than mine. His cock was teaching me a lesson; obey or be punished.

  The suctioned cock over my pussy blocked my fingers from finding my own pleasure and teased me relentlessly, taking me to the brink of orgasm again and again, but never allowing me to come. My pussy spasmed, empty and desperate and I moaned, feeling forsaken and rather sorry for myself.

  My ass burned, but he didn’t stop. Instead, I felt every ridge of his displeasure, taking me and using me for his own. The wet sounds echoed around us and I shut my eyes, trying to hide from my shame although I knew there was no escaping it.

  His pace was hard, harsher than it had ever been. Each stroke was measured, calculating and rough. I felt every last inch of his displeasure. My body hummed with need, but I knew without a doubt, he wasn’t going to give it to me.

  I was a bad girl. I deserved this.

  My legs trembled, and my pleasure grew. Knowing that he wasn’t going to allow me to find my release made it even worse. Made me want something I knew I wasn’t going to have, but my clit wasn’t listening to what my mind already knew.

  Fuck.

  I didn’t know if I could do this.

  “Axel,” I begged. He didn’t listen. If anything, he just fucked me all the harder.

  My pussy vibrated with dissatisfaction, my clit throbbed, and my ass ached, and when I felt his dick harden and pulse inside me, I moaned in sad desperation.

  I didn’t want this, did I?

  My mind was saying no but my body was saying yes. To every last fucking inch of it.

  He grunted softly behind me and spurt after deliciously burning spurt of his seed splashed against my interior walls. It was slick and as large as his cock was, as much as my ass was filled with it, I felt his cum seep out and drip down my leg. When he was finished, he leisurely pulled out of me and my tight rim popped at the unexpected emptiness. I was almost sad that his cock had left my hole. Almost.

  Mortified, I stood there, bent over, feeling drop after drop of his seed edging down my skin. The feathery feeling of his secondary cock receded, simply acting as a chastity belt, keeping me from touching myself and bringing myself to completion.

  He stood there for a long time, just watching me. His cum kept dripping down my legs. He had used me, and I trembled before him.

  I’d never felt so punished in my life.

  Fucked in a place where good girls never got fucked. Used for a man’s pleasure without being given one ounce of my own. Left standing with cum dribbling down my thighs, with my ass striped from his belt.

  My breath hitched in my throat.

  I wanted to cry. I wanted him to fuck me. I desperately needed to come.

  I felt so sorry for myself.

  I squeezed my eyes shut and my body tensed, trying to fight the ever-rising tide of pleasure. His palm traced against the side of my hip, his thumb circling around the lower swell of my back and despite everything that had just happened, I sighed with pleasure.

  He was quiet.

  “I’m sorry,” I whimpered after a period of time, my skin on fire and my breath heavy in my throat. “Please forgive me,” I begged when he didn’t respond.

  “You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” he murmured softly.

  I didn’t feel beautiful. Coated with his seed, my ass red and punished, both inside and out, I felt like a truly disciplined little human.

  “I could never stay angry with you, hellcat,” he purred, his suctioned cock slowly pulling away from my pussy. Left untouched, I shivered, the chilly cave air caressing my wet and aroused skin.

  His thumb brushed against my folds. My breath caught in my throat.

  “I wasn’t going to let you come tonight, but you behaved so prettily during your punishment. What do you think, Cosima?” he asked, teasing me with his finger, edging along the drenched folds of my pussy. My body burned hot, and my desire grew higher, very close to spiraling out of control.

  “Axel, please,” I begged, unabashed and unashamed. I knew that I needed to come, or else I felt like my skin was going to catch on fire. Even now, I blazed hot within, my clit pleading to be touched, my core throbbing with need. Everything would be right in the world, if only I could just come. If only he would let me. I hoped he would.

  His fingers circled my clit, slowly but surely and my legs grew weak. I could feel his cum drying on my legs, could feel the skin of my ass sting from the belt and still, I wanted more. He pressed down slowly, but then pinched my clit hard.

  I could have sworn I saw stars.

  White-hot pleasure lanced through me and my legs gave out, but he was there to catch me. His arms wrapped around my waist, holding me close while he tortured my needy bud, forcing wave after wave of pleasure to assault my body. My pussy clenched hard and I trembled with the power of the passion coursing through my veins, but I gave in completely then.

  I let him own every second of my pleasure. I let him give it to me.

  I felt like I was flying.

  My release felt like it went on for hours, but when I finally came down, Axel gathered me in his arms and pulled me into his chest. His skin felt warm next to mine, his heartbeat sounded loud, like a calming melody that set me right.

  “Now there, hellcat, all is forgiven,” he whispered.

  If I had felt like I was flying before, now I was soaring.

  Chapter Six

  Axel

  She fell asleep in my arms that night.

  I’d lain awake for several hours watching her until I closed my own eyes. My dreams were full of images of her. I was intoxicated by her, more and more with each passing moment. I woke before she did, finding her lithe body still curled into mine. She was warm, sweet, and entirely too perfect.

  With every breath, I was getting more and more attached to her. Every flick of her eyes to mine, the way her eyes brightened when she looked at me, the way her lips curved up with pleasure at the sound of my voice. The way her ass had reddened from the swing of my belt.

  Not to mention the absolutely perfect sounds she made when I fucked her.

  She was utterly delicious. Unfortunately I knew I had to keep myself from getting too attached. Her run-in with my brother yesterday simply made that fact all the more obvious now. It wasn’t safe for her. Eventually, I had to get her out of here and away from my brother. And far away from me.

  When Saleos and I finally clashed once again, I knew it was going to end badly. One of us was going to die and she couldn’t be around us when that happened. My instincts would likely be more out of control than ever, my hormones driving me to do terrible, animalistic things without a care as to who lived or died. I knew I wouldn’t be able to control myself around her, or anyone for that matter. I’d lost control completely around her once and I didn’t want to do it again. Even now, just thinking about the fact that Saleos had laid his hands on her once again made my blood boil. When I finally found him, I knew my anger would only intensify and that wouldn’t end well for either of us.

  I’d go full on beast mode. Every second she was around me now was another moment where she’d be in danger. Saleos could be anywhere and I knew he’d come for me, revenge his sole motivator, and her too, especially with whatever deal she made with him.

  I’d never be able to forgive myself if I hurt her. She was a treasure, a worthy human who deserved a man who would treat her like a queen. I was simply a genetic experiment, an alien no less, who no longer had a place in this world, other than to stop Saleos. My fate was already set in stone.

  Just thinking about her being in his presence once mor
e, or ever again made my adrenaline levels surge. That monster didn’t deserve to lay a single hand on her, not one finger. She was too good for him. She was too good for me.

  In the morning, I would see to getting her out of Echelon 67. There were no more guards to contend with. Now, it was just me, Saleos, and Cosima. Just the three of us.

  For days I had searched for Saleos without her, but he was smart. He had avoided me somehow. I hadn’t found a trace of his footsteps, of his scent other than what he’d left on her. I knew him though. He’d know that I’d realize he’d been around her. I couldn’t just react though and go after him, wherever he was. I had to think carefully before I decided to take him down.

  I had to be careful not to underestimate his intelligence. What occurred in Echelon 67 proved that, beyond a doubt. He was clever, crafty, and consumed by his need for vengeance, but also jealous about the disparity between both of our lives. He’d always hated the freedoms I’d had. Always wanted them for himself. Been jealous of the fact that I’d lived most of my life outside the bars while he was locked behind them.

  Our fight wouldn’t end until one of us was dead. Of that, I was sure.

  Cosima stirred beside me, her gorgeous blue eyes blinking awake. She looked to see me, and I expected anger, at the very least displeasure with her punishment the night before, but there wasn’t a trace of that. Instead, she just looked up at me and smiled, her eyes warm.

  “Morning,” she murmured sleepily. She yawned, and I tried not to smile when she squeaked just a little bit.

  “Good morning, hellcat,” I answered.

  Her brow furrowed for a long moment, and I saw a glimmer of awareness pass across her features. She’d remembered something.

  “Axel, I have to tell you something,” she whispered.

  I paused, raising my eyes to meet hers and waited. Whatever it was, it had taken her soft smile and caused it to falter. Instantly, my hackles rose, and I felt like I needed to protect her.

  “I overheard something yesterday. A transmission intended for the people that used to reside here,” she murmured.

  I didn’t answer for a long time.

  “What did it say?” I asked, almost afraid to hear the answer.

  “They’re going to bomb Echelon 67 tomorrow. They intend to kill you and Saleos for good and wipe this place off the face of the map,” she answered, her fear causing her to tremble beside me.

  I drew in a sharp breath and I felt my claws sharpen against her skin. She gasped at the feeling, the sound exuding exquisite pain, sharp and beautiful and I had to close my eyes in order to focus on the danger, and not fucking her instead. I needed to calm myself before I hurtled out of control and endangered the two of us.

  There was only one type of bomb that Saleos and I were weak to. It was a bomb with an additive that we were especially susceptible to, Nano swarms that specialized in neural shredding. Essentially, it would turn our entire neural systems into dust in less than a minute if we were exposed and destroy our capabilities to control our minds and bodies completely. Our deaths would still take time but be exceedingly painful. Any human in the vicinity would be killed instantly.

  Trying to stay calm, I breathed a steady breath and shook my head. I had to remain in control.

  “Why didn’t you tell me this sooner?” I murmured quietly, trying to keep my worry in check. I had to get her out of here and I needed to do it now, before it was too late.

  “I was… distracted,” she whispered, her eyes blinking, her expression one of innocence and brutal honesty. She smirked, just the tiniest bit as her eyes flicked back up to mine.

  “Come. We must start moving right away. I have to get you as far from here as possible,” I said, while pushing off of the mattress. Her body heat left mine and I suddenly missed her touch. Instead of dwelling on that though, I extended my hand for her to grasp and she took it, at first hesitantly, but then more boldly.

  “What are we going to do?” she asked quietly.

  “We’re going to run,” I answered.

  I lifted her to her feet and then quickly handed her the clothing she’d been wearing and then her boots. Quickly, she got dressed and in little time, I had snuffed out the fire and hid as much evidence of our presence as possible. Cosima watched me quietly, not saying a word.

  I wondered if she was thinking of me, of our time together last night and I saw her hands drift towards her backside.

  “Are you sore at all today, hellcat?” I asked her. She met my eyes for a quick second, before looking away with a shamed expression.

  “Yes,” she finally whispered, and I smirked just a little bit.

  “Good. It’ll remind you to obey me if I give you an order today. Don’t disappoint me again,” I said, and she nodded softly, if a bit petulantly. Her cheeks pinkened in a soft blush and her eyes dilated.

  I tried not to lift my eyebrow in reaction to her response. It was clear though that she liked me telling her what to do, almost as much as she enjoyed being punished in the first place.

  Noted.

  In no time at all, the two of us were ready to leave and we walked out of the cave together. The sun was warm as it caressed my skin and I breathed in the clean mountain air before I lifted her off the ground and threw her over my shoulder. She protested for a moment, but once I laid my palm on her ass, she relaxed.

  I almost chuckled in response.

  Quickly, I flipped her so that she lay against my chest, my arms twirled underneath her legs and her shoulders.

  “I can walk, you know,” she murmured quietly.

  “We’ll be able to move faster if I carry you,” I replied, grinning. She hardly weighed anything at all. I was strong, built to be agile and powerful, despite carrying heavy combat gear. I’d trained all my life, built up my strength as much as I could. At that moment, I almost felt like it was all in preparation for this day. In preparation for meeting her.

  My eyes skimmed the horizon, looking for any sign of Saleos and found nothing. Echelon 67 was quiet, undisturbed but I knew better. I knew he was out there waiting, watching and if I wasn’t careful, I’d step right into his trap. I’d have to keep my guard up at all times.

  I couldn’t sense any aircrafts in our immediate surroundings either. If the controlling governments were dropping a bomb, it would seem that they were following their announced timeline that Cosima had overheard, but I was still wary, especially if Saleos decided to act early. We had to move, and we had to do it now.

  The temperature was warm today, with only a slight chill on the wind. The border of Echelon 67 was quite a distance away from my cave, and would take me several hours to get to, even if I ran the entire way. I gritted my teeth, resituated Cosima in my arms and sighed softly when she wound her arms around my neck, enjoying the feeling of the warmth of her skin. Then I began to move.

  The first part of the journey was uneventful as I worked down the mountain. I couldn’t hear anything other than the normal sounds of nature, be it the wind, animals, or the sway of the trees. It was peaceful, but still, I was on my guard.

  I enjoyed the feeling of her body in my arms, her arms around my neck. I savored every last second of it.

  Just as I was descending the last bit of the mountain, I heard a rock skid off in the distance to my right. I paused, listening and trying to sense my surroundings, to see if Saleos had wandered near or some kind of animal had climbed the mountain, but I picked up nothing.

  The wind had gone uncharacteristically calm in that moment. Totally silent. Unnaturally so.

  My instincts told me something was wrong, and I tensed. In my arms, Cosima stirred, looking around herself.

  “Is something wrong?” she asked. I didn’t respond. Instead, I just continued to listen. The entire world seemed to have gone still. Something was definitely wrong.

  Then, in the same direction I’d heard the rock skid nearby, I heard a small clicking sound.

  Instantly, I reacted, dropping to the ground and covering Cosima with my
body. She gasped with shock, but then the explosion I had been expecting burst beside us. Fiery hot electrical pulses shot up into the sky and around me. It sucked the oxygen right out of the air for one long moment and she struggled beneath me. I covered her mouth with my palm, knowing that if I didn’t, the bomb would force the air right out of her lungs and they would collapse from the sudden change in pressure. She’d die simply because she was human.

  It wouldn’t hurt me. My bulletproof skin protected me in diverse ways, although it still stung like hell. It felt like the top layers of my flesh were searing away.

  The air burned with heat and had I not covered her as I did, I knew that her skin would have peeled off from the intensity of the engineered bomb. The bomb pulsed once, twice, and then a third time and I gritted my teeth, my own skin set ablaze by its power.

  I knew what kind of bomb it was. The scientists here had created it as a way to kill everyone in a small, immediate vicinity with little effect a short distance away. It was the most effective, controlled crowd device I’d ever seen. And I knew Saleos had set it up, stolen it from the humans’ weapons store. He had known the path I would take, so he set it up just at the bomb’s very limits. He’d been prepared, had buried them in a location just far enough from the path I used fairly regularly. Fucking bastard.

  He knew that the bomb wouldn’t affect me, knew that it would only hurt me if I was closer to the target. He was trying to get to her. He was sending me a message. He wanted Cosima and he wanted me to bring her to him.

  I growled with my anger. Saleos was going to kill her if he wasn’t careful.

  When the mountain breeze finally picked up again and blew the ions away, I uncovered Cosima’s mouth. The bomb had run its course and it was safe for her now. She glared at me for a moment, before looking around.

  “What the fuck was that?” she asked, her voice trembling with fear even when her eyes blazed with courage.

  “My brother,” I grumbled in return. I could feel my epinephrine levels beginning to rise and I took a few deep, calm, steady breaths. I lifted her off the ground and started running again, faster this time.
