CHAPTER 4

Dakleth

A perimeter alarm had sounded half a centine ago, indicating the grounding of an unauthorized space shuttle.

As the nearest patrol guard, I responded immediately - though not entirely out of duty.

Secretly, I welcomed any excuse to leave the overcrowded capital behind and disappear into the quiet wilds for a few hours.

My current assignment required me to assist with patrols of the densely populated capital area, but I much preferred my quiet estate away from people and politics.

This unexpected diversion was a welcome reprieve.

As I approached, I saw the shuttle had crashed, which explained its lack of landing clearance.

The vessel had carved a scorched path through the terrain before finally collapsing onto the moss-covered ground.

They were fortunate the craft had gone down several clicks outside the city.

A crash within the capital would have resulted in devastating loss of life.

Grabbing the emergency aid kit, I approached the damaged shuttlecraft.

The hull was torn open in multiple places, smoke curling from fractured metal panels as overheated systems hissed and crackled in the cooling air.

Reaching the main hatch, I pressed the release mechanism.

The door groaned before slowly sliding open.

“Is anyone alive?” I called into the dim interior. “Do you require assistance?” Even though the ship was unauthorized to be in our orbit, there were intergalactic protocols to follow to aid survivors.

Standing in the doorway, I noted the chaos of the wreckage inside. I spied the battered, very dead body of a Trexian on the floor and narrowed my eyes. There was no reason for one of those chitinous pirates to be near the planet of Ptekennan.

As I scanned the rest of the room, I stopped short when I laid eyes on the most stunning creature I had ever seen.

She glowed like a Lumanela from the old stories.

Her face, which was decidedly feminine, was ethereal.

Her luminous eyes seemed too large for her delicate face and had a ring the color of the sky around the black pupil.

I had never seen such a color on the eyes of another being and was immediately entranced.

Her skin looked like the petals of a moon flower.

A thick, glossy, golden mane surrounded her face and shoulders like an aura of sunshine.

She was so small and delicate, but her limbs were willowy and elegant.

I had never seen anything like her before.

I had no idea what species she was, or where she had come from, but in that moment, I would give anything I had for her to be mine.

As her sweet scent hit me, my mating shaft swelled and slipped out of its pocket.

Without conscious thought, my chest rumbled to soothe the female I hoped would choose me as mate.

Andie

Shit, shit, shit. A giant, four-armed, gray alien with black wings (wings?

!?!) spotted me when he opened the shuttle door.

The alien was HUGE, and his deep gray skin was textured like the hide of an elephant or rhino.

He was wearing a short, black skirt made of hanging strips of fabric.

Despite the skirt, everything about his stance, his muscled torso, and his unnerving focus on me screamed “male.” The alien stood frozen for a moment when he saw me, but then he growled at me.

I looked down and saw the head of a giant cock poking through the strips of his skirt, and I knew I was in immediate danger.

That was it. I was officially done with this whole “abducted by aliens” experience.

“Awww, hell no!!” I shouted, pushing him backward as I skated under his arm and sprinted out the door.

I summoned every last remaining drop of energy I had as I made my desperate escape.

I hauled ass on still-shaky legs for the trees and prayed to any deity that was listening that the gray monster in the wreckage would let me go.

Dakleth

“Mate!” the tiny creature shouted, then pushed my chest and ran out the door.

I was momentarily stunned. The female of my dreams - dreams I never even knew I had - just initiated the mating ritual of my people.

A feeling of elation that I had never known filled my body and soul.

I would chase her, as the ritual demanded.

Then I must subdue her - show her that I was a strong male who could protect her and our future young. Then I would claim her.

I could have been mated years ago, but there had never been a female that had captivated my interest the way this one did. My whole body vibrated with tension and feelings I couldn’t yet name. All thoughts of intergalactic protocols for greeting new species or helping survivors melted away.

She would be mine. But I had to capture her first.

Andie

I could hear him pounding the sand behind me, catching up to me easily with his longer limbs.

He tackled me from behind, and I screamed.

I fought and shouted for him to let me go, but the bastard was at least a foot taller than my 5’8” and probably outweighed me by 100 pounds.

Not to mention he had four arms. It was never going to be a fair fight.

He pushed me face-first onto the ground.

The purple and green grass was prickly on the skin of my face.

I tore my nails as I scrambled to find purchase and tried to get away, but he held me down easily.

Tears of anger and frustration leaked from my eyes as he pulled my jumpsuit off.

I couldn’t think about what was about to happen.

I just knew I had to get away. I threw my elbow back, tried to kick him, or headbutt him, but my head thumped against his chest with zero effect.

I screamed as he held me down with two arms and parted my thighs with two others.

I tried to deny what was happening as I felt something thick and long nudge my entrance.

“Get off me! Let me go!” I screamed at him, to no avail.

I sobbed as I felt him push his way into me.

Dakleth

She fought well for such a tiny thing. Not with any real training, I could tell, but she was fierce and determined to make me prove my strength to her.

I approved of her testing me so well. It was true, what they said about Lumanelas.

There was magic in her voice. She screamed shrilly, and I was paralyzed, completely unable to move for a few precious seconds.

She tried to use that time to scramble away from me, but I recovered and caught her again. Clever little mate.

I breathed her scent in deeply, already enchanted with her. This first time, I knew I would not last. She was too enticing and I felt that I was seconds away from spending myself.

Once I had her firmly in grasp, I took a moment to center myself.

I would not embarrass myself with my mate during our first joining.

Trembling in excitement, I pushed slowly inside her channel and nearly exploded as a wave of pleasure rolled through my body.

Nothing I had ever experienced felt as good as being inside my mate.

I gave her a few seconds to adjust and for my mating shaft to produce more lubricant to ease my passage and then, with a groan of pleasure, I began to thrust in earnest. It was bliss.

Andie

It was torture. He was too big, and every thrust of his monster cock felt like he was splitting me in half.

I could feel my delicate tissue burn and tear, and it hurt so much.

I hated it. I hated him. I hated this planet and everything that had happened to me.

I tried to hold on to that anger as he pumped behind me, but soon my anger gave way to frustration and a soul-crushing despair.

He kept me immobile as he drove into me over and over. I was full-on sobbing, begging for him to stop, unable to get away. I just wished for it to end. He ignored my pleas, taking his pleasure while I spilled my tears into the unfeeling dirt below.

I cried, not just for what was happening to me, but for the girl I had been before all this.

The girl who, just a few days ago, was singing show tunes and dancing through my charmed, beautiful life.

I would never be that girl again. I knew I would never feel safe again, not after this violation of my body and soul.

Gods above, please just let it end, I thought. Please let me die.

Then I felt a white-hot pain streak across my back and knew no more.

Dakleth

I was close, I could feel it. She was making noises I didn’t understand, but I hoped she was enjoying this as much as I was.

I extended my claws to deliver the mating mark on her back, the symbol that would tell all other males that she was mine.

The venom in my claws would bind her to me and prevent her from accepting any other male.

I would remember this moment for all my days, and would devote myself to making my mate happy.

I admired the smooth expanse of her back that would soon bear my mark. I ran a hand over the delicate skin that would be forever changed. “You are mine, mate,” I declared as I sliced through her skin from shoulder to waist and felt her relax. Her full and final submission to me made my hearts sing.

I bent over her and covered her fully, my chest to her back, as my hips pistoned, and I thrust into her like a wild animal.

Her submission goaded me, spurred me, and I felt a tingle signaling my coming release.

With a roar, I emptied my seed into my mate, ropes of my cum painting her inner walls.

She was so tight, choking my cock, and I kept coming - harder than I ever had.

I was almost disappointed not to see how much semen I pushed into her, but chuckled in satisfaction knowing it was inside my mate.

I wanted to spread more on her beautiful skin so she smelled like me always.

I withdrew and nuzzled her warm, golden mane affectionately.
