Serenity was sure she was going to vomit. She was sure she couldn’t eat whatever the hell Eon had just sat in front of her. A glance at Anna and she knew it wasn’t just her. She wasn’t sure what it was, but she was sure it wasn’t going into her mouth. Anna ever the diplomat used her eating utensil to shift it around in the plate before pleasantly asking, “What exactly is this called?”

Kylan replied with a name she couldn’t fathom ever repeating, so she just went with what it sounded like, “Blognetak?” she attempted to repeat. Eon just repeated it, way better than she had and nodded. “So that makes it a meat, plant, or something else?” she questioned as she picked up her fork to poke at what was on her plate.

“Well, this is a plant from our planet,” he said pointing to the pile of unappetizing red wormy looking things that she could have sworn would have been bugs, “And this is from a small creature called the Baukentor, it was similar to the little rodents we became familiar with in the forests of your planet.” She looked up at him after he had pointed to the greenish strips she was sure was plant.

“God, I hope you’re talking about squirrels and not rats.” She said as she watched Anna experimentally sniff a piece of the plant. When Anna shrugged and placed it in her mouth, she thought for sure that Kylan was going to wear this meal as he looked at her intently. Anna chewed for a few seconds, her face blank before nodding. Looking into Serenity’s eyes she swallowed her bite, then said, “Serenity, taste it. I think you may like it.”

Anna had a look that Serenity didn’t altogether trust, but she really had to eat something. If she were going to go to his home planet, she was going to have to eat something. Sniffing of the small bit on her own fork she couldn’t determine a scent. Tensing her stomach for the assault on her taste buds she placed it slowly into her mouth. As she chewed, preparing herself for complete and utter disgust she couldn’t hide her amusement. The taste was spectacular. It was succulent and sweet at the same time. Her taste buds applauded the taste unlike any she could remember tasting. “Holy crap!” she exclaimed as Anna began laughing. She was even surprised to find that the bits of green meat tasted like chicken, for which she was ever grateful, that if everything had to taste like something she was glad it was chicken. She finished everything Eon had placed in front of her. She felt much better after eating, looking up she smiled at Eon, “It was very good, Thanks.”

Chapter 8

Serenity was astonished at the layout of the ship and although small it had everything one could possibly need for an extended trip. There were two bedrooms. They both looked the same, very small and utilitarian. The bathrooms were small also, but functioned in much the same way that hers did at home. The room she woke up in, she later learned was called the decontamination room and was used to sterilize all materials brought aboard the ship. On the other wall from the entrance to the ship was the exit to the ship. The kitchen and galley were together with a small table that was meant for two, but they all sat together. They cooked food in a similar manner as if on earth. She was pretty impressed that they didn’t have cardboard meal packs for space travel. When Eon showed her the small green house area she realized, they grew their own food which also helped to oxygenate the ship. The meat was preserved and when water was added, it became less jerky like and more succulent. Kylan’s lab also housed medical, and was just slightly bigger than the bedrooms. Kylan had told her and Serenity that the ship was around the same size as the airplanes they had on earth.

The next two days went by in a blur. Eon showed her various functions of the ship and at every opportunity it seemed he would grab her to kiss her senseless. He never went beyond those kisses, to Serenity’s disappointment and relief. She still remembered climbing in the bed that first night she had changed into an old t-shirt and shorts that Eon had grabbed from her place before they had taken them. She had just relaxed into a light dozing when she felt his presence. She stiffened hoping he didn’t notice her reluctance. He just reached over and pulled her to him, his arm draped around her middle protectively. He gently kissed her cheek before whispering, “Sleep, little one.” She relaxed into his embrace and drifted into a sleep full of dreams, dreams of Eon and her in intimate embraces and twisted sheets.

Trying to forget those dreams proved difficult, her body igniting with each touch. Her skin felt too tight, clothes seemed to rub against her sensitive skin. Moisture would gather at just her thought of him. She was staring into the stars when Eon came up behind her, placing his hands on her shoulder’s before leaning down to speak in her ear, “Come with me, little one, we have much to talk about.” She turned into his embrace, and stared into his eyes. His beautiful golden eyes sending shocks of awareness to her core, as she lifted her hand to the back of his neck to tug him to her she placed a gentle kiss on his lips. His worry was plain to see when she opened her eyes to gaze at him. He had sadness in his eyes. She couldn’t understand why he would be so sad.

In the eating area, or Galley as Eon had referred to it, she noted Anna sitting beside Kylan and her eyes sought Serenity’s as if asking what was going on. Serenity shrugged, before sitting beside Anna. She clasped Anna’s hand, waiting for the bad news. Her stomach in knots, Eon began, “Anna, I’m not really sure what Kylan has told you, so I am going based on what I told Serenity. As you know, Kylan and I chose you to be our mates, and though we need females to continue our race, we will not force you to choose us. I told Serenity that she had two days to choose whether you would come with us to Salin and be our mates or we would return you to your lives. The time has come. We need to know. We have received word from our council and they are expecting us in approximately three months’ time. We must leave within the next few hours to make that deadline.”

Serenity let out a sigh of relief, her sense of dread melting away. Anna looked at her confused before looking at Kylan and stating, “I thought we were already mates?”

Kylan came over and pulled Anna into his embrace, whispering into her ear words only she could hear. Serenity looked up at Eon, nearly laughing at his face. She crooked her finger at him and he came to her, his eyes pleading her to stay. She smiled at him, before stating, “I don’t know if I could live without you and I really don’t want to find out.”

Eon grabbed her around her waist, pulling her to him. She instinctively placed her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck as she met his kiss. He was unleashed, taking her mouth, not waiting for her acceptance or denial. Her mind shut down in a fog of need so acute her stomach clenched, a moan passing her lips only to be devoured by Eon. He broke from the kiss, a fire burning in his eyes, begging for an answer. She slowly nodded her assent and the answering growl in his throat excited her. Wiggling to get closer to his hardness, she gasped at the sharp pleasure that went through her at the small contact between their clothes. He turned abruptly and headed for his room. Her heart sped up in anticipation and fear. He laid her gently on the bed, removing his shirt. She stared up at his smooth red chest, his muscles flexing with each movement. His hand grasped the edge of her shirt, peeling it slowly from her body. The air touched her skin causing gooseflesh to raise, her breathing becoming labored. He looked down at her, and she instinctively went to cover herself, remembering her less than perfect body.

Eon grasped her hands and pinned them to the bed above her head, as he slowly pulled her bra off, her breast spilling into his gaze. He groaned, using his free hand to cup her bountiful breasts, overfilling each hand. He teased her nipples with his thumb, watching as her nipples tightened with the small stimulation. He looked up into her beautiful face, her cheeks pink. Her eyes clouded with lust. She looked beautiful. He leaned down and nipped her ear lobe before stating, “Mine.”

He kissed and nipped the skin behind her ear and taking the path down the curve of her neck. His tongue bathing the sting away to the hollow of her neck, where he spent extra time lapping at her pulse, beating a fast, and steady rhythm. She wiggled in his embrace, moaning in abandon. Her hips rising to meet the hardness pressed between her legs. He was driving her wild and she needed him to press harder into her, to quench that ache deep inside.

His leisurely stroll ended at her breasts where he blew a breath on one engorged nipple, then the other, finally taking one in his mouth suckling strongly. Her body lifted from the mattress, her voice echoing in the room. She began writhing, her voice pleading with him, whether to stop or never stop she didn’t know. A sharp edge of pleasure that bordered pain shocked the breath from her with his small bite to her nipple. He released her arms as he unfastened her pants, pulling them down her hips. She was too far gone to care if he seen her naked. She needed him. Her hips undulating of their own accord were enticing him to take her and ease their need.

He kissed her hip, his hand traveling down her rounded abdomen to come to the juncture of her thighs. Her curls glistened with her arousal, her hips undulating. He breathed deeply of her scent. Need shot through his loins. He closed his eyes taking a deep breath before spreading the lips of her pussy. Her pink flesh was soaked and swollen with need. His tongue took a small foray around the little ball of nerves behind its hood, her hips jack knifing off the bed, her cry of pleasure causing him to chuckle. Her hands threaded into his hair, her thighs holding him prisoner. He grasped her hips and pushed her to the bed, firmly but gently before continuing his oral assault. When he sensed her close to the precipice, he pulled back. She tugged at his head, her thighs tightening as she wailed, “No, Nooooo! Please, please, please…”

He grasped her hands and pushed them above her head once more, taking her mouth. She gasped at the flavor of her mixed with Eon. It made her want more. She protested when he left her, her arms reaching for him. He made quick work of his pants. She took in his nakedness, the first glimpse of his package made her swallow, some of her need taking a backseat to fear. It was huge. She looked up into his eyes, the fire made her melt with need. “Eon,” she whispered, “I think you should know, I’ve never done this before. I’m really not sure that you will fit.” She finished. He crawled upon her again, chest to chest, his hand clasping her face forcing her to look at him, before he began, “I’ll fit, little one, and I’ll be gentle. Don’t worry.” Kissing her again he thrust his cock through her juices, teasing her clit.

He lodged the head into her entrance, slowly pushing forward into Serenity’s tight sheath. Serenity gasped at the feeling of being stretched. The slight burn was slightly uncomfortable, but not enough to cool her ardor. They moaned in unison when he was fully seated within her, his lips teasing hers a few times before, he lifted his eyes to her gaze. She needed him to move, to do something, to quench the ache that had built to an inferno that wouldn’t be denied. His stolen kisses, his butterfly touches and those sultry looks she had been subjected to the past two days were expecting a conclusion, one she couldn’t ignore. She wrapped her legs around his waist, her heels digging into his buttocks, lifting herself up to grind against him. He groaned as he finally began to move, thrusting slowly at first with her hips rising to meet his every thrust. She leaned up and nipped at the muscle between his neck and shoulder, lapping the sting away with his tongue. He groaned, his control slipping. His thrusts became more forceful, quicker. Her head fell back, his lips finding her throat, kissing and licking as he plunged in and out. In and out.

Her velvet glove began to ripple, squeezing his cock, signaling her pending fulfillment. He reached between them and circled her clit, once, twice and on the third she jerked and shattered in his arms. Her eyes widened in surprise and a low keening sound escaping her lips. He pistoned three more times, his balls drawing up and a tingle at the base of his spine signaled his impending orgasm. He jerked within her, bathing her channel in his seed, gasping her name as he collapsed on his arms preventing himself from crushing her. He kissed her on the lips before rolling to the side and gathering her in his arms splaying her across his chest.

She lay across his chest, allowing her breathing to even out and her heart rate to return to normal. She balanced on her arms and looked into his eyes and said, “You did fit.” He stared at her for a few seconds before laughing out loud at her wide eyed expression. She smiled at his laughter and kissed him on the cheek before whispering in his ear, “Can we do it again?” His cock rose between them and her laughter was cut short when he showed her that they indeed could do it again and again.

Chapter 9

The first couple of month’s journey to Salin was uneventful. Although it did give Serenity and Eon ample time to get to know each other better. Serenity sit in the galley with Anna eating breakfast with a smile plastered on her face. She hadn’t realized there were so many places once could make love. Against the wall in the hallway. While taking a shower. In the bed or against the door to the bedroom. She sighed in contentment, looking over at Anna who was smirking at her. “What?” she said between bites.

Anna chuckled and pointed her silverware at Serenity before saying, “You are so much happier. I never realized how unhappy you were. I’m sorry I didn’t really pay attention to how unhappy you were back home. I feel kind of guilty.”

“Well, honestly, I wasn’t unhappy, just lonely. I always felt as if something were missing, a piece that I once had but lost. I didn’t tell you but, I used to dream of Eon. Not as he is now, but when he was a child. We played together. I didn’t realize it was him at first and that explains why I didn’t freak out when I met him. On some level I knew who he was. Don’t feel guilty, Anna. I believe if things had of happened differently and I had fallen in love with someone back home and married, I still would have felt as if a part of me was missing. So, how are things between you and Kylan?”
