Travlr (The Mating Games series Book 2) (5 page)

“That’s an excellent idea.” Razar praised.

“You act like I never have a good idea.”

“Not true. You often have them in the area you are familiar with. This is something new to us and it’s amazing that you thought this through so well. Contact them and get them started.”

“Can I use your office?” He asked Razar because he didn’t want to wait.

“Be my guest.” Razar said as he and Lista headed out the door.

Travlr knew they went out to the lake almost every day to fish and relax. They came home, cooked their catch, and then Razar would go in to work for a few hours coming home for a late supper. It might seem that Razar had the perfect life but he had a great deal of responsibility and he worked six or more hours every day of the week and was on call every hour of every day of the year including holidays. Things were running smoothly right now so he was wise to take what enjoyment he could from his days.

Travlr went to Razar’s office at the end of the long hall that led to several bedrooms. He wanted to build a big house like Razar’s and he had already started the process. The office was large and well equipped. Sitting down at the desk he switched on the computer. Due to a series of satellites and space doorways, communications with Earth only took mere minutes. It was mind boggling to him because he had never had access to technology until they had been freed but scientists thought nothing of it.

Waiting for Dracvar to answer, he worked on his emails until what was basically their Earth ambassador answered the call. Dracvar was wearing shorts and his hair was mussed.

“Sorry to disturb you during you sleep cycle, Dracvar. I had a matter of importance I needed you to attend to.”

“Travlr, it is usually great to hear from you and I can always sleep later. What is this matter you wish me to look into?”

Travlr explained the matter and what he wished to know. “So you see this is a bad thing to let someone get away with. We need to find the culprit and make sure he won’t be in a position to do this to another.”

“Will this ruin your mating?”

“I believe Tammie will come around. We are compatible and my heart is set on her.”

“That is good. I wish you many blessings. The matter will be fully investigated and I will have several suggestions for you on how to deal with this criminal.”

“Thank you, Dracvar. I knew I could count on you.” A weight seemed to lift from his shoulders. It was all about having the right people in the right places. Dracvar would ferret out every secret and find the perfect solution. Once the transgressor was punished appropriately, Tammie would be pleased and they would move on with their mating.

He heard sounds coming from the outer rooms. Shutting down the computer, he made his way out there to find his female looking for him. It surprised him to find her up so soon. “I am here, Tammie.”

“Why didn’t you wake me?”

“We have been told most of your kind require an average of eight hours of sleep. My kind require half that.”

“That may be true but I usually only sleep six hours. If you don’t mind I’d like to cook something. I could eat a horse.”

“I am surprised that you are one of those humans that eat horses. I didn’t think that was common where you are from.”

“It’s just a saying that means I am hungry.” Tammie explained as she followed him to the kitchen.

“Since we are in Razar’s house, please allow me to cook for you.” Travlr requested as he started to assemble the ingredients before she even answered.

“I suppose that will work since you’ve already begun.” She replied wryly as she watched him cook. “Is the coffee fresh?”

“Yes, we just had breakfast but I expected you to sleep until lunch. As soon as we eat, I will take you to my rooms.”

“You live in your parent’s house?”

“Yes, it is common to do so until mating. At that point we build our own house. I have just started on mine. It was my hope you would have some input into the design.”

“How far have you gotten?”

“I have the land selected, a place for the house cleared and leveled, and a road going to it. There is power at the site and water going to it. At this point, I am ready to begin building.”

“After I eat, could we go see and you can tell me what you envision?”

“I would be pleased to take you there and hear your opinion of the property.” Travlr put her food on a plate and set it on the table. Happiness exploded from his as he thought about her interest in what would soon be their home.

Sitting at the table near her with a mug of coffee, he watched her and enjoyed just being with her. The goddess had truly blessed him with this woman. “You’re a good cook. I can cook but it’s not anything to brag about.”

“I’m not as good as Razar. Being the eldest he helped our mother the most.”

“It must have been crazy having ten of you. Did you’re father help your mom a lot?”

“Honestly? We were considered prisoners and everyone had to work ten hours a day in the fields. The crops went to Mazlan or were sold and we had to hunt, fish, and gather wild foods to survive. My father taught me to fish at age three. I was fishing by myself by the time I was five. Once I turned ten I had to work half a day in the fields. Our emperor was not kind to those who disagreed with him.”

“Dear Lord, what a terrible man.”

“You don’t know the half of it. Let’s speak of more pleasant things.”

Thankfully she allowed him to change the subject to building which she not only was interested in, she also seemed to have some knowledge of the way things were done on Earth. Everything was cleaned up and put away. It was time to take his mate to the spot that held their future. They went outside and he led her to a car and helped her in. Their vehicles were much like the cars of Earth except they floated over the ground. Even though many of Earth’s creative people thought they would have hover craft by the year 2000, they never became popular because there were too many accidents.

Once he was in the driver’s seat, he turned on the car and headed down the road to what would become their own little love shack. As soon as he pulled in and stopped, Tammie hopped out without allowing him to assist her. That was not the way the rule book on mating etiquette said things should be. Taking off after her. Travlr noted she looked excited. Maybe the house would be a point in his favor. Once things were dealt with on Earth, he hoped that would be another point in his favor. His heart was set on her and he couldn’t lose her.

“This is the spot I planned to put the house. The large meda tree would stay and so would the row of bushes. They are lovely when they bloom. See the path down the hill? It leads to the lake where we can fish if we’re careful. I’m sure you read about the giant predators that live there.” Travlr spoke as he walked and pointed to things.

“The meda tree is a nut tree, isn’t it?”

“Yes, it’s similar to the hazelnuts of Earth. We would have a huge garden back here that would supply much of the fruit and vegetables we would need. Jay bees already live back here in a hive I set up a year ago. They take years to fully establish and they are like the honeybees of your world.”

“It’s gorgeous here. You picked the perfect place for a house. Tell me a little more about how you plan to build the house.”

“We have a building material we buy from the Formleys. That the closest I can pronounce their name. They are an advanced amphibious race. They have a high tech product we buy that makes building easier.”

They have a building material called dempth. It adjusts easily and comes in various shaped blocks. I’ve heard humans describe them as similar to Legos.”

“That would be cool. I worked in construction on Earth.”

“Truly? You might be a godsend here. We are about to enter a serious building phase and we have little experience in it. Most of us have a natural talent for working with our hands, but we prefer to use experts when available.”

“A business? If we were mated you would not object to me running a business?”

“My greatest desire is to see you happy. I have to work because of the family situation, but we can always hire someone to assist with the house and the children. You, as my mate, are my priority.” Travlr watched his female closely. He saw signs she was slowly warming to the idea of mating. This pleased him greatly.

“You’re not what I expected.” Tammie said quietly before she walked around to check out the size of the lot the house would sit on.

Once Tammie had time to look at everything, Travlr ushered her back into the car and they drove to his parent’s house. They slipped up the outside steps to his private entrance. He didn’t want to scare his mate off by subjecting her to the craziness of all his brothers. Better to introduce her to his parents when only one or two or even better, none, of his siblings were hanging around.

“This is where we’ll stay until part of our house is livable.”

“Part?”

“The house can be built in sections because of the way the dempth is made and attaches to other pieces. Pieces of the dempth come in various sizes. It’s easier to show than explain.”

“I think I understand. Have you ordered the material yet?”

“Yes, most of it is here on a trailer waiting to go. There’s one kind for the foundation and another kind for the walls. The insulation is built in and it has a small amount of flexibility. It is an amazing material.”

“It sounds like it. What do we do here?”

“What do you mean?” Travlr’s face wrinkled up.

“At home I had a TV but I also had hobbies.”

“I have a computer. We watch films, movies from your home world, but mostly we do things outside like fishing and hunting.”

“You’re an outdoorsman?”

“If that means I like to spend time outside, than yes. You don’t enjoy going outside?”

“Back home it wasn’t safe to go out alone or even in pairs. I lived in a city and places to fish and hunt weren’t nearby. I also didn’t have the needed equipment, I hadn’t had any of it since I was in my early teens when my last fishing pole broke. Those type of things were expensive so we couldn’t replace them.”

“That’s not a problem here. We’ll start you off slowly and see if you enjoy it.”

“I just think I might.”

The rest of the day went well with them talking and eating supper. Once it was time for bed, he felt a little nervous and uncertain if they would make love again. This morning had been surprising and wonderful, but was it a one-time thing to her or was it the start of something real? There was only one bathroom so he let her get ready first. He’d gotten some clothing in several sizes so he had something for her to wear. A dress would work for tonight but he had other things she could look through in the morning to wear outside.

She came out with damp hair wearing the blue dress. It looked nice on her and left large portion of her legs bare. “Your turn.” Tammie observed as she walked passed him smiling.

Gods help him the female was hard to resist. Hurrying to the bathroom to get ready for bed now that she was through, Travlr wasn’t sure if he should take the edge off his sexual need or if Tammie would want to make love again. Since he hoped she would, he just shower, dried, and put on a pair of sleep shorts. When he entered the bedroom she was already in bed and pretending to sleep. Her breathing was too fast to truly be asleep but he just pretended he believed it and lay down next to her.

It wasn’t long before she fidgeted. “Can’t sleep, Sweetheart?”

“I’m just not used to sleeping with someone. You know what I mean.”

“Me neither but I’m glad it’s you in bed with me.”

“Thank you, but I think I’m going to need warm milk or something.”

“Remember what worked last night.”

“Just like a man to remind a woman of something like that.”

“I’m sorry. Was that wrong to mention?”

Tammie sighed. “I guess not but I don’t want you to get the wrong idea.”

“You mean like that you really want me or that you enjoyed what we did?”

“Well, no. I do want you and I did enjoy it. I just don’t want you to think that makes us mates or means that I’ll stay.”

“So are you saying,” he turned and scooted closer to her, ”that if I say I know you might leave, we can keep enjoying each other while you decide?”

“I suppose so.” Travlr leaned in and kissed her passionately and his hands slid her dress up pulling it over her head. Now he squeezed her breasts and sucked her nipples into his mouth one at a time. They hardened instantly and she moaned her need.

He worked his way down because he wanted his favorite flavor to burst on his tongue. After laving her belly button he went straight to her treasure box. The scent of arousal coming from her made his cock hard as a rock. Breathing in deeply, his mouth watered from the fruity sweet scent she released. His tongue whipped out quickly for a little taste and he savored it moaning as he did.

“Oh, God!” Tammie whispered as her fingers worked their way into his hair and gripped hard.

His little mate was passionate and her legs wrapped around his neck as soon as he stuck his tongue back into her honey. One hand went to her ass cheek and squeezed it while the fingers of his other hand took the place of his tongue in her clenching channel. His tongue went to work in her clit licking, circling, and his teeth scraping it as he felt like it. Her body was shaking and he suspected she was trying to hold off the orgasm so she could get maximum enjoyment. Feeling feisty, he sucked her clit into his mouth and gently nibbled on it. A gush of sweet honey flooded her channel and she bucked, jerked, and held his face against her.

Moaning with pleasure at her sweet flavor, she screamed his name which made him swell with masculine pride. His cock jumped and a drop of fluid rolled off the end. Once she loosened her hold on him, he slid up and sank his cock balls deep into his female. His balls slapped against the bottom of her soft ass cheeks. He’d never felt more at home or more like he belonged than he did now. Fully seated, he just stayed still a moment enjoying the feel of her body as it held his. Slowly he started moving but he built up speed and before long he was pounding into his sweet mate for all he was worth.
