“I’m scared.” Tink replied trying not to cry.
“What has scared you? You are in danger?” J’kar asked again this time unable to keep the concern from his own voice.
“No. I’m not in danger. Just scared. What if your family doesn’t like me? I don’t know anything about you really? What if this doesn’t work out? Will I see my family again? I miss my parents and my sisters. I miss Cosmos. I…”
“I will come to you.” J’kar said with a sigh of relief. “You will not be alone. I will be with you. My family will love you as much as I do. Do not Borj and Derik love you? You will love my world. It is very beautiful, almost as beautiful as you.” J’kar teased.
“I’ll be okay. Is it going to be much longer?” Tink asked a small quiver in her voice.
“No. I will send Zariff to bring you to me. I would like you to see my world from space. You will see how beautiful it is.”
“J’kar." Tink said hesitantly. "Thank you.”
J’kar could feel the touch of warmth Tink sent to him. He closed his eyes briefly as the feeling coursed through his body. A part of him was concerned someone, anyone, could have this type of effect over him. He had never heard of it even among bonded mates; at least not in the newer times. There were legends of old that told tales of bonded mates being very powerful together, working, fighting, and living as one being. Over the past several hundred years, though, the bonding ritual had come down more to who could breed. He knew his own parents did not have a bond like he was experiencing. Even Zariff, the healer, was able to leave his mate for extended periods when necessary though it became uncomfortable after a while.
“Zariff.” J’kar murmured into the communicator.
“Yes, my lord.” Zariff replied immediately.
“Please escort my mate to the bridge.”
“With pleasure, my lord.” Zariff replied.
“Zariff, make sure she is well. She seemed a little upset. I need to know she is not harmed.” J’kar asked hesitantly. He was concerned all their lovemaking may have been too much for her. He had not let her get much rest. He had also lost control during their lovemaking more than once during the night. She was much more fragile than the women on his planet and he was easily twice her size.
“Of course, my lord. We will join you shortly.” Zariff signed off.
J’kar let out a sigh. He walked to the front view screen and stared with unseeing eyes down on his planet. He had reservations as well. He wondered how his people would take his mate. She was much smaller, more delicate, than them. She was also paler in both skin and hair coloring. It made her look more exotic. He would have to make sure she was protected whenever he was not with her. He would kill anyone who tried to harm her.
Tink called out a welcome when the communicator device announced Zariff was asking for entrance. Tink smiled at the healer as he entered the room. She was just finishing cleaning up and was about to fix herself a cup of tea. Smiling a welcome, Tink asked Zariff if he would like a cup of tea.
“Yes, that would be very pleasant.” Zariff replied.
“Tell me about your planet.” Tink asked as she came over and set the tea in front of Zariff.
“It is very beautiful. The main city is surrounded with tall mountains on three sides and the sea to the west. The mountains are home to many different species of animals. Some are small and some are large. It is best not to travel in them without an escort. The city itself is the most beautiful in our region. It is the home of the ’Tag Krell Manok family. They are the most powerful in our region and rule over all the clans. There are many other clans but none quite as powerful. The ‘Tag Krell Manok family brought the other clans together to form the high council which establishes and enforces the laws of our planet. Each clan has a council and certain members represent each clan on the high council. We have three moons, Ananke, Leda, and Metis. They are very beautiful on the months they can all be seen. The sea in this part is warm and flat during the warm months but wild and fierce during our cold periods.”
“It sounds lovely. I wish my family could see it. Hannah would be the one to disappear into your mountains. She is at home in the wild.” Tink said with a sigh.
“You have many in your family?” Zariff asked curiously.
Tink shook her head. “Not really. It’s just my two sisters, mom and dad. And Cosmos, of course. We adopted him so he’s part of the family whether he likes it or not.”
“My mate and I have a son. We hope one day he will find his bond mate. Your world gives me hope. If he could find someone like you I would be honored to have her as my daughter.” Zariff said with a warm smile.
Tink’s eyes filled with tears. Wiping them with the back of her hand she smiled. “That is so sweet. Please forgive me. I don’t know what is wrong with me. All I want to do this morning is cry.”
Zariff smiled gently at Tink and pulled out a small scanning device and nodded for her to lie down on the bed. “J’kar is worried about you. He asked I make sure you are all right. I would like to scan your body to make sure it has healed completely from your earlier wounds. You and J’kar have completed the mating rites?” Zariff asked quietly as he pulled the medical scanner from his waist.
Tink felt the blush turning her cheeks pink. She was feeling a little self conscience. She knew he was a doctor but it was still new to her the connection she had with J’kar.
“Yes.” Tink replied softly.
“Prime males can be very forceful during the mating process. We forget our strength at times when the primal urge overcomes us. J’kar’s feelings for you are very strong, much stronger than I have ever seen in a mated pair. You are much smaller than our females. He is concerned he may have hurt you during the mating rites.” Zariff said gently as he took in the rise of color in Tink's cheeks.
“He didn’t. He was wonderful. Human females may be smaller but we are strong.” Tink responded with a grin.
Zariff ran the scanner slowly over Tink. He paused and frowned when he came to her stomach area. Running the scan over her again he made some adjustments before scanning a third time.
“Did J’kar bite you during your mating?” Zariff asked with a frown as he studied the results.
Tink blushed a deeper red. “Yes, several times. It didn’t hurt, if that is what you are worried about. I think I bit him a couple of times too. Prime males aren’t the only ones who lose control during the mating, you know.”
Zariff looked down at Tink with a startled look in his eyes. “You can sit up. Human females lose control during sexual mating?” He could not keep the fascination or the curiosity out of his voice.
Tink sigh. “You really need to talk to my mom. I finally realized exactly what she was telling us girls for years. When I am around J’kar all I can think about is jumping him. I would worry it was a chemical reaction happening just because he was different from me but my folks are the same way after almost thirty years of marriage. They still can’t be in the same room without touching each other.”
“Fascinating. I would be very interested in meeting your parents one day.” Zariff slipped the scanner into his belt. He turned to pick up the two cups and placed them in the cleaning rack before turning back to Tink.
“So, am I cleared to go? Everything is okay?” Tink asked as she walked towards the door.
“Yes, but you will need to see a healer as soon as you are settled on the planet. You are breeding.” Zariff said coming up behind Tink.
Tink froze. She was breeding? What exactly did that mean? She was pregnant? Already? How could he tell.
Turning as if in slow motion Tink drew in a small breath. “What exactly do you mean by breeding? Are you telling me I’m pregnant? I’m going to have a baby? How can you tell? J’kar and I have only been together, what a few days at most? There is no way to tell yet, is there?” Tink asked in a dazed voice.
Zariff smiled. “The scan says you have bred. It can tell within a day if the male’s seed has taken. It is very unusual for a woman to breed so soon. Ma
ny times a male must inject the breeding chemical many, many times before a woman’s body accepts. It took my bond and I several years before it happened, and even then, we only had the one son.”
Tink turned pale and her hand went to press against her stomach. Looking down she was suddenly a little dizzy. “What do you mean ‘inject the breeding chemical’?” Tink asked hoarsely.
Zariff reached for Tink guiding her over to the chair and gently forcing her to sit back down. “As you know, during sexual mating a male’s canines elongate. This allows us to bite the female, holding her still while our body injects a chemical making her more receptive to our sperm. It usually takes many, many times for a female to accept. The chemical helps the female enjoy the sexual experience and readies her womb for our seed to implant. Is this not what your males do?”
Tink listened in disbelief. She really only heard a little of what Zariff was saying. The males bit a girl to make her hornier and so she could get pregnant? Was that why J'kar was always biting her? He thought she needed it to want him?
Shaking her head she replied numbly. “No. Our males don’t bite the females. It just depends on the timing most of the time. Females get pregnant very easily most of the time. It only takes one sperm to get a woman pregnant on our planet.”
Zariff shook his head. “I wonder if it is even necessary for one of our males to bite a human female to get her pregnant than? I would like to do more research on this? In the meantime, J’kar is getting impatient for me to bring you to him. He will be most pleased to know of your breeding status.”
Tink’s head flew up at that. “No. You mustn’t tell him.”
Zariff frowned. “But why? It is a time of celebration among our people. J’kar, as the next ruler and a member of the ruling house, will be most excited.”
Tink stood up quickly and reached for Zariff’s hands. Looking at him with pleading eyes she begged. “Please don’t say anything. I need time to absorb this. On my planet it is normal for the woman to tell the man she is expecting. I want to wait for the perfect time to tell him. He has so much going on right now. Please. Let me be the one to tell him.”
Zariff studied Tink's pleading face. “Of course. I can understand you would want to be alone with him to give him this great news. I will not say anything." Zariff responded before he added a word of warning. "But, you must promise to see the healer at the palace as soon as possible. Since this is a first between our species we will need to monitor you carefully to make sure there is no threat to you or the child.”
Tink let out a sigh of relief. “I promise.” Grinning, she added, “I’m going to be a mommy.”
“And may I add a beautiful one. Now, I must get you to the bridge before J’kar sends an armed escort to find us.” Zariff said with a chuckle.
J’kar paced back and forth impatiently. What was taking Zariff so long to bring Tink to him? It had been over half an hour since he called. Did Zariff find something wrong? Was Tink hurt? J’kar pressed a hand to his stomach. The thought of anything happening to Tink was more than he could bear. He didn’t know what he would do if she was hurt...or, sick. Pressing the communicator again he growled for Zariff to answer him.
“I have brought your bond mate, my lord.” Zariff answered from the entrance to the bridge.
“About time.” J’kar snarled. “What took you so long? Is she well?”
“She is perfectly all right.” Tink answered with a soft smile.
She loved looking at him. She loved being with him. In the short time she had known J’kar she realized she had fallen in love with him. It was like the other half of her was complete. Walking up and wrapping her arms around his waist, Tink stood on her toes to kiss him. Even then, she still needed to pull his head down to hers.
“I need a step stool to reach your lips.” Tink murmured.
J’kar lifted Tink up and held her tight against his body. “I will simply hold you against me. You are so beautiful.” He murmured kissing her deeply.
He had been stunned when he first saw her. She had been behind Zariff when they entered but when she stepped around him, he was mesmerized by her beauty in the traditional dress of his people. The blue and silver represented the colors of his house. The women wore traditional gowns representing their house or clan colors. This showed who protected them. Tink was breathtaking. Overwhelming feelings of pride and the need to protect her filled him. She would be in danger from other clans who would want to secure her for their own. He knew he would do whatever he had to do to protect her. She would just have to learn to understand it was for her safety.
Borj cleared his throat. “J’kar, the shuttle is ready for departure. Father is most anxious to meet with you.”
J’kar reluctantly broke the kiss and let Tink slide down the front of him. He smiled when he heard Tink’s gasp as she felt the hard length of his cock. Smiling wickedly she turned brushing the front of his pants with her hand as she moved towards the front view screen to look out at the planet below.
This time it was J’kar’s turn to gasp. His eyes narrowed to slits as he followed her graceful glide to the front. “I should punish you for that.”
“Promises, promises. By the way, isn’t it my turn to tie you up this time? I’m thinking I could start at your ankles and work my way up. Very, very slowly.” Tink responded with a sultry smile curving her lips and a promise in her eyes.
J’kar growled low under his breath. His eyes flared with the silver flames Tink loved. J'kar took a step towards Tink before his brother's voice drew him back to the fact they were not alone.
Borj looked between the two of them frowning. “J’kar, did you hear me?”
J’kar threw an exasperated look at his brother before turning back to his bond mate. “A moment. I want Tink to see her new home from here before we leave. Give us a moment alone. We will be there shortly.”
Zariff, Borj and the last crew man left the bridge. J’kar walked over to Tink who was standing against the front railing of the view screen looking at the planet below. He wrapped his arms around her pulling her tight against his body. He couldn’t get over the feeling of how delicate and fragile she felt yet how strong and brave she was.
Tink sighed, melting back against J'kar's hard body. “It’s so beautiful. It doesn’t look all that different from Earth from space. A little more colorful in some areas. Earth is like a little blue and white marble. Baard is blues, greens, whites, pinks, and reds.”
Tink moaned as one of J’kar’s hands moved over her breast. Taking his hand in one of hers, she slid it down the front scoop of her neckline arching back into his body to give him more access. J’kar watched as his hand slid under the covering of her gown and he gripped her hardened nipple between his fingers. Pulling on it, Tink moaned again as she moved her body back and forth along his length.
J’kar growled. “I want you, now.”
Tink was already pulling on her gown, pulling up the back. Panting she said. “Quickie. We can do a quickie, right here, right now.”
J’kar groaned again. “I do not know this quickie but it sounds good. Bridge command, lock door, no entrance without authorization.”
J’kar pulled the gown up around Tink’s waist and bent her forward. He pulled her lacy panties down until they pooled around her ankles and she stepped out of one side free to her legs as he unbuttoned the front of his pants freeing his swollen cock. Pushing Tink’s legs apart J’kar forced Tink to lean even further forward over the railing. Cupping her ass he rubbed the length of her line. He had the sudden desire to explore her even more intimately. He wondered if she would let him. He must have communicated his dark desire with her as he felt the sudden flood of warmth and excitement at the idea.
“Yes, oh, yes.” J’kar’s eyes narrowed with lust and passion as he felt her response. “Soon, little one. Soon I will taste every part of you. Enjoy every part of you.”
Sliding two of his fingers into her pussy he found the wet mound swollen with need. Unable to resist he p
ulled his fingers out and lifted them to his lips tasting their delicious flavor. The taste sent J’kar over the edge.
With a low growl he grabbed Tink around the waist. “Hold on, do not let go. I cannot control myself. I am sorry, little one.”
“Fuck me. Now.” Tink was panting she was so horny.
With one thrust J’kar buried himself deep inside Tink. He was out of control with need and desire. Holding her tightly he pounded her pussy each thrust going deeper and deeper. Reaching around her he rubbed her clit finding her swollen nub and pinching it between his fingers while his other hand grabbed the swollen nipple of her breast he had pulled free from her gown. He could feel the strength of her orgasm rising.
Tink was breaking apart. The feelings were overwhelming her as the tension built. Between the erotic thoughts of him wanting to fuck her ass, his deep, hard thrust which was hitting all of her nerve endings, and his fingers working their magic on her breast and clit she couldn’t control the shaking overtaking her as her climax hit her hard and fast. Letting out a scream she went wild in his arms as she came.
