Surrender Seremity (Salin's Salvation 1) by Astrid Cielo nodrm (7 page)

Anna squeezed her hand and leaned back into her chair with a smile, “You know, I feel like I’ve known him forever, but I know that is just silly. He still hasn’t told me that he loves me, though. Sometimes I wonder if I am just a means to an end.”

“What do you mean, a means to an end?” Serenity asked.

“Well, think about it, if what they say is the absolute truth, then there isn’t anyone else for Kylan to choose, or Eon for that matter, and maybe they just chose us in a fit of desperation. I mean, I really care for Kylan, a lot. I’ve even broken my sex before marriage rule because I love him, but what if he only sees me as a way to have babies? He really doesn’t treat me as an object, he acts as if he cares, but what if.” She finished with her voice breaking.

Serenity moved to sit beside Anna and wrapped her in a hug, “Anna Banana, I’ve seen how he looks at you, and how he tracks you even across the room. You should hear how he says your name when he asks me where you are. He may not have said the words, but I’m pretty sure he loves you. And, Anna, how do you know by his cultural standards you aren’t already married?”

Anna chuckled through the tears that had started falling down her cheek. Serenity, looked up to see Eon and Kylan walked through the door. Kylan rushed to Anna’s side and pulled her onto his lap and began to comfort her. Serenity smiled as she walked to Eon, taking him by the hand and leading him into the Bridge.

“What was wrong with Anna?” Eon asked when they were alone.

She turned and stared up at him, linking their hands together, relishing his touch and scent. “It’s just that she feels guilty.” Serenity answered.

“Guilty for what?” Eon asked puzzled.

“Well, Anna believes that you aren’t supposed to have sex before marriage and apparently she has with Kylan. She was scared that he didn’t love her and that she had made a mistake. I told her that maybe she should think for a minute because we don’t really know your marriage ceremony and that possibly it had already been performed. So, what is your marriage ceremony like?”

Eon looked at her for a second as if working out a puzzle, before stating, “You mean, marriage as in mating?”

Serenity thought for a second before replying, “Maybe.”

Eon then described mating in their culture which was the same as marriage on Earth, but there was no dissolution, it was for life. Serenity nodded at his description and said, “The only difference is our marriages can be dissolved for one or more reasons, whereas yours are for life. What do you do to commemorate a mating commitment?”

Eon smiled and nibbled on her jaw, before stating, “Remember before I took you the first time, and I said Mine.”

She nodded leaning her head to the side to grant him better access.

“We were mated for life in that moment. I declared that you were mine and you accepted when you allowed me into your body.” Eon said.

“So, Kylan and Anna are mated?” Serenity asked, gasping at the end when Eon laved the pulse at the base of her neck.

“Yes, little one.”

“Well, how does that work when you have sex with other females before finding the one that you want to commit to?”

“I didn’t call them mine, because they weren’t mine and I wasn’t theirs.”

“And we are mated?”

“Yes, little one. Should I remind you of how it happened?”

She smiled at him, then pulled his lips down to hers. She kissed the corners of his mouth before licking at his lips. He growled and pulled her flush against him, one hand holding her rear and pushing it into his erection, the other clasping the back of her head, tilting her head for the best angle to plunder her mouth.

Moaning she reluctantly pushed against his chest, breaking his kiss. He reached for her, but she stepped out of her reach. Backing up to the bench like seat on the wall she crooked her finger at him. He followed her to the bench. She took his hands and placed his back to the bench. She pushed him backwards indicating she wanted him to sit. She knelt in front of him pulling his shirt up, he took it off as her hands started to smooth over his chest. She moistened her lips at the feast before her. Her light touches driving him out of his mind. She licked as his nipples, smiling at his gasp of pleasure. Her hands went to his pants, and he lifted his hips to help her ease them down. His erection sprang free, already oozing pre-cum from the slit. She bit her lip and looked up at him, his eyes looked like black pools, the pupils taking up his entire iris.

She took a deep breath, then grasping the base of his cock, she extended her tongue to take her first taste. A salty, sweetness exploded on her taste buds and she was delighted to find a faint trace of his own flavor. Emboldened by the way his hands had found her head and tightened into her hair, she took the head into her mouth and gently flicked her tongue to its underside. She was rewarded with another bit of flavor. She smiled, then applied a slight suction. He groaned, his fingers tightening in her hair to the point of pain, but she was amazed to realize how much it excited her. She slowly tried to take as much as she could into her mouth while keeping a small suction. He became more and more aggressive with each bob of her head, reaching up she fondled his balls between her fingers.

She was driving him crazy. The pleasure was all encompassing as her hot mouth enveloped his cock into a cave of warmth and pleasure. When she reached up to fondle his balls he almost lost it. He was worried he was hurting her with his death grip on her hair, but it seemed to excite her more. She pulled back abruptly with one last swipe of her tongue to his slit. He groaned at the loss. She pulled her pants off, throwing them to the side, the scent of her arousal swamped his senses, her dew glistening on her curls. She took her shirt off, then straddled his lap, easing over his shaft, stopping with the head lodged within her entrance. Every molecule of him screamed at him to take her, but her hand on his face stopped him. She brought his face to hers, her smile capturing his soul. She leaned forward and whispered into his ear, “Mine.”

He kissed her gently showing all of the emotion he felt for her. Releasing her lips, he looked into her eyes and whispered back, “Mine.” She took him inch by slow inch, her wet heat enveloping him into paradise. She rode him slowly at first, her breaths coming fast. When she groaned in frustration, he chuckled and held her to him as he took her to the floor, thrusting into her the way she craved, she moaned. Her cries in his ears, he let himself go, thrusting faster and harder. She wrapped her legs around his waist, holding onto him. His cock hitting that special place within her, she whimpered at the start of her orgasm, her stomach bunching at the intensity of it. She screamed at the pinnacle and faintly felt his seed jetting into her womb as he found his completion, her vision showing stars behind her eyelids.

He held himself up looking down at her, and she opened her eyes to his gaze, with a small smile. He nuzzled her neck as he pulled himself from her, she moaned her protest when his cock glided over her sensitive tissues. He picked her up and carried her to their room. She snuggled under his chin holding him close as she whispered to him, in that state between sleep and wakefulness, “I love you.” He kissed her temple and repeated it to her, his heart full of love for the other half of his soul.

Serenity woke a couple hours later to Eon’s gaze. She smiled up at him then an idea hit her, “Eon, you’re like captain of this ship right?” she asked.

He nodded his assent and she laughed as she sat up and hugged him. “I have an idea! This will make Anna so happy and it will be legit because you are a captain of a ship, and well we may not have the wide blue ocean, but we do have the endless expanse of space.” She jumped up and began dressing, then looked back at him. “I need to speak with you and Kylan, so come on, we gotta keep Anna busy so I can work on her surprise!”

Chapter 10

Serenity was so excited. It had taken two weeks, but she finally had everything planned. She thanked her high school guidance counselor for screwing her schedule up in 11

and 12

grade and placing her in that clothing construction class. She also thanked her lucky stars that she was essentially a pack rat and had her old sewing kit in with some of the junk that Eon had taken from her apartment. Those skills came in really handy using the materials she had available to her to decorated and make Anna a dress. It did require her to sacrifice Eon’s bed sheet, but that was okay, at least he seemed okay with losing it. She had allotted the room they had awoken in to be the room for her surprise, because first it was white and empty and second Anna never went near it. She had decorated it with paper flowers she had made from some of her old notebooks. She had coached Kylan and Eon in how the ceremony went.

Serenity entered the galley to find Anna cleaning the table. Kylan was watching her intently waiting for Serenity’s signal. She nodded at him when he looked up at her. He walked to Anna and turned her around to face him, holding her hands he dropped to his knees and looked up into her eyes, “Anna, my mate. I love you more than life itself. I waited my whole life to know you, so, Anna, Will you marry me?”

Anna began to cry, her tears seemed to frighten Kylan, but before he could panic she began to laugh and repeat, “Yes. Yes, I will.” Kylan picked her up and twirled her in the small galley, before setting her on her feet and kissing her. Anna looked over at Serenity and beamed. Serenity smiled at her as she went over and clasped her hand.

“Come on, Anna, we have a wedding to get ready for.”

Serenity helped Anna into her dress, which Anna thought was lovely. She kept asking where Serenity had found it, but Serenity just shrugged and stated, “Oh, I just altered something lying around.” She didn’t want Anna to feel self-conscious about wearing a sheet. Anna handed her the bouquet of paper flowers, and quickly slipped into a blue nightgown that was her favorite, its wide straps and empire waist made it look so much like a dress that she didn’t feel too terrible that it was a nightgown. She walked Anna to the room and outside the door, she turned Anna and said, “I know it isn’t what you probably wanted, but I couldn’t have you feeling guilty. He really didn’t know or he probably would have done everything in his power to marry you in our way.”

Anna nodded, the tears falling down her cheeks, “This is one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me, thank you Serenity.” She hugged her for a few moments, and then placed her hand on the panel. She gave her friend away to a man she knew loved her as much as she loved him. Eon and Kylan both played their parts very well. Serenity cheered when Eon announced that the groom could now kiss his bride. Eon left Kylan and Anna to their wedded bliss and captured Serenity pulling her close and he kissed her gently on the lips.

“You’re wearing blue, do you remember the last time you were wearing blue?”

“You remember? That’s been so long ago. Ever since that night, blue has always been my favorite color.”

He smiled down at her and bent to kiss her, she moved to the side, “Later, we have a reception to attend.” He swatted her rear as she walked toward Anna, and she threw a saucy smile over her shoulder.

Serenity woke her stomach turning. She leapt from the bed and ran to the bathroom, barely making it to the toilet before the contents of her stomach came up. She wiped her mouth on the towel that Eon handed her, his gaze concerned. “Are you ill, little one?” he asked.

“I don’t know. This is the third morning this has happened. And sometimes during the day, I get nauseated too. Maybe it was something I ate.” She said as he pulled her to her feet.

“Little one, please, let’s go to the medical scanner, let me make sure you aren’t ill. It will make me feel better.”

She nodded in agreement and walked with him to the medical scanner. He helped her into the device and placed the lid. She was relieved to note that she didn’t freak out as much as last time, but the look on Eon’s face as he helped her from the scanner made her feel sick all over again. “Eon, what is it? What’s wrong with me?”

“You are healthy, little one.”

“Then why are you looking at me like that?”

“You are healthy for a pregnant female.” He said so quietly, she almost didn’t hear him.

She walked over to him, and placed her hand on his shoulder before asking, “I’m pregnant?”

He nodded, but his demeanor seemed to cry that he wasn’t happy about it. She started to cry, and scream at him, “If you didn’t want me to get pregnant you shouldn’t have fucked me every chance you got!” She turned to walk away from him, her tears turning to sobs, when he caught her and pressed her head to his chest.

“Oh, little one, I am happy but I am also worried. What if I’m not a good father?”

“So you aren’t upset that I’m having a baby?” she sobbed.

He lifted her chin to peer into her gaze, “No, I love you. I want babies with you.”

She nodded and smiled before burying her head back into his chest. He held her for a few moments then picked her up and carried her back to their bed where he made slow sweet love to her, kissing all her tears away.

Chapter 11

Two days later she stood staring out at the planet she would now call home. Oddly enough it was the third planet in its solar system, but it sort of looked like a Mars mixed with Earth from the ship. She could see that a lot of the planet was reddish in color and it made her wonder if that was what caused Eon and Kylan’s reddish skin tone. When she asked Kylan he stated it was a possibility. She told him about how some humans turned orangey when they ate lots of carrots, so he analyzed some of the pigment from some of the wild life and minerals they consumed. Kylan told her that it was probably the reason they had reddish toned skin, when Serenity looked into the mirror after their conversation, she noted a small change, from pale alabaster to a slight pinking of her skin.
