Chapter 3
Axelun
The bond between me and my mate was growing faster the more I teased her.
I could feel the way she watched me as I left.
It took a lot of effort to leave the room knowing that as an unGor the proximity helped our bond, but my human upbringing taught me that humans preferred to feel the tug of desire that coils in their belly from not getting what they want right away.
We were still on the same ship, so the pain of our distance was bearable.
I'll admit there was an appeal to torturing both of us for the anticipation of greater satisfaction later.
If anyone forced me to leave the ship with her still aboard, I'd fight until my death or tear apart the ship to reach her. I'd never felt something so visceral since stopping my inhibitors. Even that thought had me holding back an animalistic snarl.
Living on Earth, I'd dating humans before, even mated with them casually to wet my cock, though that wasn't a just name for what my species mated with.
And I'd never done so without inhibitors to prevent bonding.
I was only a child when I came to Earth, and I'd been on inhibitors to block my mating instincts since my mating marks started forming.
I never thought I'd find a compatible mate so quickly after the meds were out of my system.
It was intense. They didn't warn me about the way my body would ache, or how my ormete tentacles would warm like a fever. I called my mating organs a cock like the humans did, but I knew I was different than them.
No matter how much I twisted my tentacles together, my mating ormete was not a cock.
Would she still want it without the effects of the bond?
My last mate didn't like how thick I was when I twisted my ormete together but was terrified when I separated them.
She said it creeped her out that they could be wiggling separately from each other, and then I crossed the line when one of them touched her ass.
Every human was different. Would Timber like rubbing her clit on my ormete cock?
Without my inhibitors, the bond will be stronger, and I'll be able to finish now. I can already feel my glands filling with fluid. I've never came before, not really. My seed was always absent from release. Timber would be my first and only if she accepted our bond.
UnGor may be okay with sharing a delegate, but as much as I teased her about it, I had no intention of sharing.
I wasn't brought up on my planet during my what Earthlings called puberty.
On Earth, sharing was a choice. A choice I would avoid for as long as possible.
If any of those mates tried to claim her.
.. I wasn't sure what I would do. Or what I could do without destroying my position as an ambassador?
Would I do what a krelin would?
Would I steal her?
It would be against everything an unGor stood for.
I may have grown up with humans, but I agreed with my heritage that earning a mate's honor was the only way to keep them.
Our ancestors learned the hard way that a bond unearned would drive an unGor to madness, always wondering if the bond would break if they didn't hold on tightly enough.
It led to many deaths, according to the elders.
Warriors would fight each other, and others would kill themselves or their own mates.
I've seen such things happen among Earth matings.
AsunGor hasn't had a mating related death in centuries since the delegations were formed.
I made it back to the shuttle and gathered the next group of humans to bring them to the other screening room, giving them a basic understanding of what to expect and then rushed back to the shuttle for the final group from medbay.
The sooner I completed my job, the sooner I could get back to my mate and stare down anyone who tried to approach her.
To give the newly inoculated humans time to recover, they would go straight to the dorms. It should be done in no time.
"Where is Timber?" one of them asked, and normally, I'd divert, but she said my mate's name.
"Timber?" I let her name roll from my tongue and savored it with a lilt to confirm we were talking of the same such human.
"She's my companion. We're supposed to be together," the pink-haired human explained.
"She's at her screening, you'll join her in a few days, after your recovery.
" And after I've had a chance to devour her sweet screams of my name on her lips and scare away any potential mates she may attract in the meantime.
Not that this companion needed to know what I had planned for her friend before they could discuss me behind my back.
It was pivotal on Earth to secure the favor of a companion or lose the favor of mating prospects.
The last human I mated with did not have her companion's approval of me and…
"No," the pink-haired woman snapped. "You'll take me to her now." It was an odd thing to witness something so small stare up at me with such determination and resolve.
This was the human my mate tricked into coming here with her.
Did her trickery spoil their bond? It would hurt me to know someone that made her happy would cause her pain from betrayal.
It was a strange feeling when just moments before I was convinced that my mate deserved to feel the sting of trickery so she would think differently about it in the future and never wish to betray our bond in a similar way, as she did with her best friend, her found family.
I wished to be her found family as well, and that included making sure this annoyed sprite of a human glaring at me would give my mate her approval of our bond.
But if their own bond was severed, I needed to make sure she wouldn't harm Timber should they meet again while her temper was high.
"And what exactly do you plan to do if I take you to her?"
"I plan on slapping her in the tit, yelling at her a bit, and then dragging her ass back with me to wherever you're supposed to take me so we can be together," she said with a huff.
I blinked in an awed expression that my mate has such a strong bond with this human.
Perhaps, I had misjudged my mate's trust with this human.
She does not seem to hold a grudge past a duel of attrition and then resuming their bond together.
Everything I learned of humans is that they let their emotions go and then move on.
It is the humans that do not express themselves that are most dangerous.
This one held nothing back, and that was refreshing.
I nodded in agreement. "I must take the rest of the humans to the dorms first, if that's agreeable with you."
It suited my purposes for my mate's companion to take her back to the dorms and end her screening time short with the other mate options. Timber would not be taking on any other mates. Every laugh, scowl and moan from those pretty lips were mine.
