Alien's Claim

by C. R Corbin

  I smiled at that.

  "Why did you choose to become a healer?" I asked her and she pauses before shrugging.

  "Why did you become a warrior?" she asked.

  "It was what I was good at." I stated firmly.

  I never gave it that much thought, in fact, it was just something that I was forced into as a child. I actually quite liked the profession and didn't have that much of an issue with it honestly. The only problem was that it hurt sometimes, at times, I think that I would have been better as a laborer of some kind but I suppose that being a warrior was nice, I got to determine my own assignments if I went with that route. I could still hear the barks of the general in the hot sun of Urenda, the red sands swell beneath my fingers as I clung onto trees with my claws over and over again, as I lift stones and chuck them across the dirt in order to exercise.

  It seemed so long ago but when you have as many assignments as I have they all seem to meld together and you lose track of what happened when and where.

  "Are you happy with the route that you've chosen?" she asks.

  "I would have been far more unhappy should I have never met you. They say that a Delosians true purpose in life is revealed to them once they find their mate and well ...I never really had a purpose before I came here. It was just endless combat with a vague end goal of using my money to buy some sort of home I suppose."

  "Couldn't you live on Delos?" she asked.

  "I could...but without a family it just brings a whole lot of bad memories, to be honest...I don't really like to go back there unless I can help it. Now that I have you I don't mind of course but before ...everything was rather uneasy. There are few things that I avoided on purpose but that was one of them and well...you give me the strength to confront it."

  She smiled, "I don't know what that feels like. To avoid your home, god, every day I think about returning to Iopa."

  "Then we will...I suppose that we have to have the mating ceremony somewhere right? And where better than just your home? I suppose that your family will want to see it."

  She blushes and averts her gaze while I glanced her over with the greatest affection that I could muster. I feel her hands' clap mine as her fingers tighten and she presses her head into my chest. I grasped her and pull her in, hugging her back as if I was protecting her from some sort of unseen evil.

  "There is that word that you humans have...I've been trying to research as much as I can and apparently you have this term called...love?" I expressed.

  She blushed and hugged me even more tightly, "Are you saying you love me?"

  "I value you as my teren but I don't know what that word means exactly. Trust me I haven't had that many close relationships...well ever, so this is a new thing for me." I remarked.

  It was a stark contrast between the two of us. She would tell me at times about how her family life was and how nice they were. The friends she had and the bonds that she had formed were also discussed and it all seemed so alien to me in a way. I was unsure about how I would even describe the concept but apparently, this "love" described this close relationship, this intimacy that was unmatched. It meant that you would do anything for the other party when you loved them and I did feel that for her. She was my teren after all.

  I would do anything for her. But was that all love was? Was it just that feeling or was it something even more than that? Was it that warmth that was festering in my heart? Or was that just my ribs healing over? Either way, I am grateful for either.

  "It seems...well I don't know. It's just something that you understand."

  "So do you love me?" I posed the question without hesitation and she nearly jumped up from her spot on the bed.

  "I ahhh...."

  I laughed in response, I knew that it would take longer than the time that I had given her to answer me, "It's fine...I know that you don't have an answer and I'm not going to rush you...Speaking of answers, let's see if the computer as something for me." I muttered and got to my feet but nearly fall over from the pain, she catches me along the way and helps me back up.

  "Don't be so reckless!" she chides.

  Chapter Ten

  Sarah

  He was currently hunched over the desk of it, the holograms were telling him something in those strange symbols that he told me was the Delosian language. It all seemed to be full of rather round, disjointed shapes instead of straight lines, that's what the calligraphy of his species' looked like.

  And it was rather lovely in a sense.

  "Alright so it says here...it's a message, encoded. It says that the heart of Nomida lays in the sun ...What does that mean?" he asked me and I glanced at the disk, my eyes furrowed in thought before I concluded, "It means that It's not underground then...right? That has to be what it means."

  "I'm not sure I follow." He remarked. "Are you telling me that the actual pathway towards this thing lies somewhere in the mountains and that the rumor that it was stuck in one of the trees is just some sort of ruse designed to try and misguide searchers?"

  "That's right." I concluded, "But where could it be then? Anywhere in the sun I guess...if you could find more of these disks then I'm sure that you can piece together something that makes sense but for now, I guess that this is the only info that we have. Should we just keep on searching in these caverns then?"

  The cavern that he had described to me was a specific species of tree that would bury into the ground with roots that were hollow. The space inside of the roots would be filled with dirt but as water and minerals were absorbed the soil began to grow finer and finer and over years and years of erosion the space inside of these cavities became...well open. After a while, they could be walked into like regular caverns and I suppose that the Berians used that space to store their stuff. There were only a few trees that were like this in the area so I suppose that he could search them but there wasn't even the guarantee that they had the message written inside of them.

  "Well I suppose that we should keep on searching then..." he remarked and got to his feet, stumbling back over to the bedroom with me aiding him, the disk laid there on the table, cold, unmoving, there were far more details and clues than I had previously thought there were. The search for this thing wasn't nearly as foolish as I had once thought it was and I had to say that I underestimated Sarel quite a bit with regards to this.

  The next days were all the same, he would leave and return with the disks occasionally. He would slot them in and they would give us more clues. During this entire time, I was surprised at the quiet, at the lack of interference on the part of Karo and his men. I suppose that since we were on a mountain he had no way to really reach us but his lack of action was...disconcerting. I suppose that his men had been more alert now than before but they were still acting rather subdued in the face of all of this.

  In addition to the clues that we had gathered he had spent the days, when he had returned at least, in my arms. I could usually heal him and he could stick around for a while to get some analysis done. I could still remember what it felt like to have his hand on mine, to have his finger graze my cheek as he holds me there. Those times were the best that I have had in recent memory, I could still remember the time that he had taken me out of the small portion of mountain that the ship was parked on. I had insisted on going on a bit of a walk and he had relented.

  "Just through the mountains for a little while." He told me as we paced through all of the shrubbery and the rocks. We were headed up this little pathway near where he had parked the ship. We stumble by these small ponds near the slope, from here the trees below were all visible they looked like the gnarled fingers of a world that were all being dragged down by this swamp.

  We continue onwards and I get this warmth in my chest that I was rather unfamiliar with, I wasn't entirely sure what to make of it but I knew what it was the moment that we had reached the top and I glanced over at him. He had helped me up this small stone pathway and my hands were resting on his as he glances at
me. I gazed out amongst the rest of the world and here it doesn't seem so bad. The bandits that lived in the swamps weren't here to intrude, it was just him and I.

  And that was enough for me.

  "It's lovely." He sighed and grasp a rock to chuck down the slope. There was a small pond below us, we had tried to aim for that, tried to toss the rocks into that little pool of water while we passed the time watching clouds and wishing that we would be able to get out of this mess. Soon.

  And I knew we would. As long as the clues gave us the answers that we needed. I would cherish the few moments that we had though, I would cherish what little time that we had together no matter what happened.

  Because I loved him, I did.

  The clues all gave valuable details, of course, there was always this sense of...excitement when we opened one of them up.

  "It lays in the giants."

  "It shines with all the other crystals at night."

  "The heart of Nomida finds its home in warmth."

  It all pointed to the same thing, that this one thing was found somewhere that wasn't in the extensive root systems of the trees down here. That was the only clue that we had, it was the only piece of any of it that made any sense. So we begin to conclude that it was found somewhere in the mountains.

  But then of course there was something that came up. The warlords had apparently caught on to our little operation and interrupted us during the midst of the night.

  He had returned with little to no wounds and we were just finishing up our last meal. I looked him over and got into bed with him, resting my hands on the sheets as he laid there with me. This time was traditionally the time where he would try to rock me to sleep but I didn't want to.

  Not yet, I still needed him.

  He seemingly understood this because he rests his hands on mine to get on top

  Traditionally the night would have ended with one of us pleasuring the other but we hadn't had sex quite yet. That was still something that he was holding off on and I wasn't even sure if we were ever going to do it. I was just waiting for him to give it to me but I suppose that I wasn't ready for that size yet, that throbbing cock that was in front of me. God I was already so slick from the idea of it, I didn't even want to think about what it would be like when he showed it to me because the feeling would be so overwhelming ...But now it was going to happen.

  "Do you need something?" I asked him with a smile as he growls on top of me.

  "You're ready my teren." He remarked, "You're ready for my seed." His growl was low and powerful and I could feel every bit of lust that was coming off of him as those words came off of his tongue.

  I spread my legs and invited him to take me, my eyes glazed over as he leaned into me.

  I feel him plant a kiss on my lips first, his touch was tender and his breath was soft. I could feel the slickness gathering on my folds as he grinds his thighs against mine, he was just wearing a simple pair of underwear now, I could see every inch of muscle, every bit of him, all the scars and the curves of his incredibly tough physique.

  And I licked my lips to invite him to do more. His lips plant against mine and I groaned as I feel his tongue flick mine, I groaned into him and I feel the heat gather near my thighs, my entire body was quivering for him.

  And he knew it, that look in his eye was far too intense for it to be mistaken for anything other than passion, fire, of a burgeoning want and need to claim me, to take me as his.

  And I couldn't wait for it, I could feel his thick bulge, I could feel it sliding over my legs and I willed him forward as his kisses continued.

  Chapter Eleven

  Sarel

  It was the night, I knew that she was ready. The last time I had pleasured her I had understood it. My senses were telling me that I could actually take her now without fear of harming her.

  Before this we had been serving one another every night. Sometimes I would do it when I would detect her lust and other times she would have an argument with me, that descended into lust, that was only on occasion of course, usually it was a result of her pheromones acting up.

  But now...I knew that she could take it now and I was more than willing to give it to her.

  I leaned in and planted a kiss on her neck before pecking at her lips a few times. I could feel her quivering and it was the most addicting feeling in the world. I knew that I wanted to make her feel like that once more, I knew that I wanted more of this so I continued to peck her chest. I kissed her neck and suckled it gently while she gasps and the blood gathers in her cheek. She runs her hands along my horns and the scales on my back, I could even feel her fingers pressing against the little ridges on my neck that were flailing up in a display of pleasure.

  I wanted to give her everything that I had and I was dedicated to making her understand that.

  I plant a kiss on her breasts, gently wrapping my lips around her mounds of flesh before pulling. I gently whipped her nipples back and forth with my tongue as she groaned for me. I could feel her shivering underneath me as her back arched and she drives herself into me. My mouth continued to pepper her chest with kisses before it begins to travel closer and closer to her crotch.

  "Take me Sarel, please, please just take me, oh god I want it so badly from you." she managed out, "I don't care anymore, I want you to give it to me, I want you to simply make me yours."

  "And that's exactly what I plan to do." I said to her with a confident smile as my kisses press against her stomach before I arrived at her thighs. I began to kiss them and rub her legs with my rough hands. The scales on the back of my hands and on my fingers washed over her and leave trails of these strange tiny bumps on her skin. She had told me that they were "goosebumps", the term was foreign to me but then again a lot of things about human physiology were.

  But that wasn't the important part, the important part was that I was here with her and that I was about to claim her.

  I wasted no time and kissing that nub of flesh near her folds, near her swelling womanhood. Her breeding slit drips its heat as I licked it and plant a longing kiss against those slick folds. I continued to kiss a trail from the bottom of her pussy to the top, more of that sweet juice and cream was gathering on her now and I was taking in more of it. I slipped my tongue inside of her just to get another taste, just to get a bit more out of her as my tongue slithered inside and washed over her nerve bundles. I knew that she was close now.

  "Oh god!" she whimpered out as my tongue pushed against her insides. "Don't stop! Don't stop!" she begged me and I didn't relent, not for a second did I relent

  I continued to thrust my tongue inside of her and let the tip of it lash over that nerve bundle that she adored so much. I puckered my lips on top so that I could brush against that nub of flesh that she adored so much. I could feel her clenching me now, I knew that it was time for a change.

  So I slipped out of her.

  "Why did you stop?" she asked in the most innocent tone that she could muster, "Don't you want to claim your-"

  "Silence." I interrupted her and grabbed her wrists to pin them down beside her head, "I am going to slip into you and you will enjoy it." I whispered into her ear, knowing that she couldn't resist.

  And I was right, her legs began to quiver as I gripped her hips and slowly slide into her. I spread her folds with my fingers and entered her as easily as I could. My tip struck that nub of flesh that caused her so much pleasure and she nearly lost her head screaming before I entered her.

  And she was tight, so very tight and warm.

  I shut my eyes and savored the feeling, I had claimed my teren and she was fresh, she was for me and for me only. Her body was laid bare for me to see and I could take every bit of her, that much I adored, that much I knew and I wanted nothing more than to begin to slip in and out. I began to thrust rather slowly, gently guiding my hips back to slide deeper and deeper into her while she groaned for me. Her eyes had shut and I could feel my tip throbbing as it rolled alon
g her folds. My tip slips all the way in and continues to throb as my balls pressed up against her buttocks. Her entire body was quivering now and I plant a kiss on her lips to contain the moaning, at least for a little bit.

  "Oh god I love it so much." She whimpered, "Please don't stop, fill me, fill your teren. Fill your little human." She moaned.

  Just that phrase was enough to push me over the edge, "Little human."

  I began to pick up the pace, encouraged by that phrase alone as my tip began to rub that special spot of her's. I angled in such a way so that I could strike it, her breasts were bouncing beneath me and I leaned in so that I could suckle them while I was still inside of her. I could feel her clenching me now, her heat dripping onto my member as I slid deeper. Her body was shaking and her hands slapped my shoulders as she continued to rock underneath me with all the fury and lust she could muster. Her eyes rolled back as I rolled a finger over that nub, as I groped her breasts and pinched her nipples. I caressed her backside and slapped it as I slipped as deep as I could before I growled out and let my seed seep into her.

  And she was getting there. I could tell that much by how her walls were tensing around me at this point and how she was moaning. Her face was far more flushed than I had ever seen it and I am ready to give it to her, I was ready to unload everything that I had.

  "Oh please, please, don't stop, don't stop Sarel." She whimpered as I slipped all the way inside of her, her eyes had rolled back and I was ready to unload my seed.

  I was ready to claim her.

  She begins to scream as I run my finger along the nub of flesh. Her face was as flushed as I had ever seen it and her moaning was loud as I slipped all the way inside of her once again. Her body was trembling and her walls were clenching me as I rested my tip along her nerve bundles and shot out my seed. The instant I growled and let the seed strike her was the instant that her walls had tensed around me and she had been brought to the brink as well.

  "Oh god! I'm coming!" she moaned out as her fingers grasped my back, "Yes!" she moans.
