L
arIS was escorted to a meeting room as soon as he got off the shuttle. He didn’t have a chance to speak with Lola one last time. He was doing his best to stay out of her head and give her the space he thought she wanted. But it was hard. Especially after the way she had teased him with those images of them. He was still stiff and aching.
Oh she would pay for that.
“
Welcome back to Katiera, Leader LarIS,” Prime Leader RendEL greeted him. He turned to greet Commander TylOR and then Prime ConEL.
LarIS was surprised to walk in and find Prime Leader KadEN from Kiljor already there. He went over to clasp forearms with the other male. “
Prime Leader KadEN, it is good to see you. I didn't think you would be here.”
“
Both Lindsey and I wanted to come and show that this mating ceremony is celebrated by both nations.”
It made s
ense. There had been a lot of distrust amongst both nations. Prima AriELa was originally supposed to mate with KadEN to bind the two nations together. But KadEN and AriELa mated other people. Hopefully with KadEN here to support AriELa’s mating to someone else, it would bring the nations together.
Commander TylOR cam
e over to clasp forearms with his Leader. “I still think you should have remained on KiljOR with your mate. This is a risk that I do not approve of.”
“
Commander, good to see you. Where is your brother?” KadEN asked, looking around for the male that had become TylOR’s unwanted shadow.
LarIS answered
, “I sent Commander AshOR back to remain on the Colony in case something happened to me.”
“
Thank you again, Leader LarIS, for allowing my people to stay on the Colony while their homes are being rebuilt.”
Lar
IS nodded at KadEN. “It is my pleasure. Though it was smart to postpone them coming until after we return from the mating ceremony.”
“
Our security would be stretched. I do not want to leave any of my people vulnerable to another Morin attack.”
“
That is understandable.” LarIS made his way to a seat.
Commander KydEL walked into the room. He greeted everyone. ConEL asked him something about Jaxon and KydEL
nodded his head. LarIS did his best not to take a peek into the other males’ heads. But he was curious about the breeding success.
If there were problems for breeding between their people and the Earth females, he wanted to know about it. Especially since he had Lola now. An image of Lola swollen with his child filled him with a yearning he had ne
ver felt before. He had accepted that he probably wouldn't find a mate or have a young. Everything had changed in such a short time.
“
Okay, we will make this meeting brief. I know that everyone will want to rest after their travel to Katiera. My people have detected some disturbances close to the Colony. We wanted to bring this up to see if anyone else has detected the same thing.”
“
My people have intercepted a scrambled message but have been unable to unscramble it,” Prime Leader KadEN said.
LarIS nod
ded his head. “My people found something right before we left. That is why I asked Commander AshOR to remain on the Colony. He is monitoring for the disturbance itself.”
“
Do you know for sure that it’s the Morins?” Prime Commander KydEL asked.
“
There is no one else that it could be,” Prime ConEL said.
The other males nodded their agreement. “
We will need to combine all our resources to help monitor and protect all three nations,” Prime Leader RendEL said. “Okay, let’s meet the day after tomorrow. My mate will be in a bad mood if I don’t help watch the girls while she gets her hair done. I do not see what the big deal is. You just brush your hair and go.” All the males nodded that they understood.
*****
Later that evening, Lola was taking a shower before she headed out for the Evening Meal with Lizzie. They were sharing a suite together. She hadn’t heard from LarIS all day. She missed him.
She was just washing the suds out of her hair when she saw the lights flashing. She looked through the glas
s of the shower stall expecting to see Lizzie. But it was LarIS. He was standing there watching her with hooded eyes.
'
Goddess, you are beautiful,'
LarIS whispered in her mind.
She smiled.
'
Do you want to join me?'
He didn
’t wait for her to change her mind. He began to shrug out of his clothing throwing them down to the floor. LarIS kicked off his boots and stalked toward her.
Lola was naturally shy. But with LarIS she felt bold and seductive. S
he turned her back toward him and continued to soap her body. She shivered when she felt the heat of his body pressed against hers. '
Oh God, yes.'
She moaned, leaning her head back against him.
LarIS gently reached around her small waist and rubbed her
smooth wet skin. No female had ever felt this good. Skin so delicious. He leaned down to nuzzle her neck. He licked the drops of water up her neck and nibbled her earlobe.
'
LarIS,'
she moaned, pressing her ass against his hard member. She loved how he touched her, caressing her as if savoring every inch. She loved how she could hear his growling in pleasure as he nuzzled against her ear. The rumbling vibrated down her body straight to her pussy.
'
You are perfect. Everything about you is perfect,'
LarIS whispered into her mind. He cupped her heavy breasts in both hands, massaging them and tweaking her nipples. She made him feel out of control sometimes. He liked it. All his life he had to be strategic, logical, cautious, careful, and in control. But with Lola, everything faded away until it was only the two of them. He loved everything about her.
'
I missed you today. What have you been doing?
LarIS asked, dipping his hands down between her legs.
'
Shopping and a tour of Katiera. Oh…'
How was she supposed to think when he teased her pussy lips like that? '
LarIS, I can’t …'
He dipped a finger inside her sweet channel. Goddess knows how badly he longed to bury his face there. Taste her. She was so sweet.
'You are driving me crazy!'
Lola couldn’t take any more. She pushed his hand away and turned around. Her breasts pressing against his hairless chest. She reached up, grabbing the back of his neck and pulled him down for a deep penetrating kiss.
Kitana!
The female was going to make him release before he was even inside of her. '
Easy and slow, Lola.'
'
No! I want you now!'
Lola reached for his penis and squeezed him gently. She wanted to climb him.
'
Oh fuck!'
LarIS gave up. He reached and grabbed hold of her luscious ass in his hands. He lifted her up. She immediately wrapped her legs around his waist. He pressed her back up against the tiled wall. Nothing was ever this good. No female made him lose it like this. He felt this urge to own her body and soul.
'
Yes, LarIS!' She had been in his head and heard him. She wiggled until the tip of his cock pressed into her a little. She needed him inside of her in the worst way. She kissed down his chin and neck and bit him there, not enough to break the skin but enough to make his whole body spasm.
LarIS growled as he lost the last bit of control. He pounded up into her until he
was buried to the hilt. He pulled almost all the way out and then pushed hard back inside of her. Paradise, she felt like paradise. She was tight and wet for him. She was his. He would never give her up.
'
Baby, that feels so good,'
Lola whispered in his mind. She used her feet against his ass to move up and down on him. The friction of their bodies sliding against each other was glorious. The fire slowly built within her. She wanted this to last forever but she felt her inner walls clamping. She was on the verge of an orgasm. Just a little more.
His only thought was making her his own. But he had to ask her first.
'
Will you be my mate, Lola? Accept my seed and be my mate.'
Lola wasn
’t sure what all that entailed. But if it meant she got to be with LarIS then… '
Yes, LarIS! Yes!'
He reached between their wet bodies and stroked her clit. She began to ride him faster and
harder. '
Oh Goddess! Mine! Lola, you are mine!'
LarIS shot his seed up into her ready channel, coating her.
Lola threw her head back and screamed his name out loud. “
LarIS!” She saw stars, actual stars behind her eyes and she could feel his warm seed shooting inside of her. It felt so damn good. He felt so damn good.
LarIS
, for a moment, doubted the strength in his knees and legs. He allowed them both to slide down to the floor of the shower. He pulled back so he could see into her beautiful dark eyes.
'
Are you okay?'
he asked with concern.
She blinked up at him and gave him a lazy satisfied smile.
'
Oh yeah.'
She glanced around.
'Why are we on the floor?'
He did a half smile.
'
You made my legs weak, female. From now on we will make love in a bed for safety reasons.'
Lola laughed. It was soft and lyrical. It made his cock twitch while still buried deep within her. He growled giving her body a hungry look.
'Oh no. I want that bed you spoke of.'
Lola tried to move but their bodies were still connected. He laid on his back keeping her on top of him. The position had her straddling him. She looked down and moved a little. It felt good.
Lola braced herself using her hands on his chest. She moved herself up and
down over him, enjoying the feel of taking him, controlling him. She really liked this position.
'
Lola
…' LarIS couldn’t form the words. No female had ever taken this position with him. It was unbelievable. He moved his hands up to grip her hips, helping her to set a steady rhythm. The female was driving him insane.
It was building inside of her again. Her nipples hardened and her spine tingled. It felt so good. So damn good. He made her feel…
possessive. She wished there was a way to mark him like the males of his kind mark their women. She would mark him so no other woman would come near him. He was hers.
'
Yes, I am yours, my love.'
LarIS agreed in her mind. They were linked so tightly. It was like they were one body, one mind, one soul. He felt the walls of her womb clenching all around her as she started to release. He watched in amazement at the emotions that crossed her face. She was incredible. He felt his own release building up. He hammered upwards into her. His final thrust and then he released within her over and over. She milked every drop from him.
Lola collapsed on top of him. She felt boneless. Completely loved and completely in love with LarIS. She sighed w
ith contentment. She felt peace for the first time in years.
The next day LarIS spent a good deal of time with Prime Leader KadEN of Kiljor and his new mate
, Prima Lindsey. They were going over logistics for the temporary relocation of the homeless Kiljorns to the Colony. They wanted to have the plans ready for when they left Katiera for home.
LarIS asked Lola to accompany him but she told him that she needed to get her hair done for the mating ceremony that
evening. When he offered to pick her up at her suite she refused. She said she would walk with Lizzie and meet him in the large ballroom on the second level of the Prime Building. He agreed reluctantly.
So here he was pacing back
and forth in the corridor outside of the ballroom. He was anxious to see Lola again. He could touch her mind if he chose to, but he wanted her to feel that her mind was her own and that he was not invading her privacy. These were things his previous relationships had ended over. He wanted to do everything he could to ensure her happiness. LarIS was not about to let her walk away from him that easily. He would do everything he could to keep her with him. She was his to protect and to care for.
He turned at the sounds of fo
otsteps approaching. He felt his heart beating an irregular drum. His hand automatically covered the area over his heart. '
Oh Goddess, you are beautiful,'
he whispered to her. He was grateful to have a mental link because his tongue felt tied at that moment.
Lola had her hair swept up on top of her
head and the curls were spilling down a little framing her lovely face. The dress she wore was a cross between Katieran style and Earth style. It had a strap that went over one shoulder. Her other shoulder was left bare. The color of the dress was a very pale blue. It made her natural skin tone glow. She had painted her lips with a red coloring. It drew his attention like a beacon in a fog. He would have those lips before the night was over. She gave him a dazzling smile and he thought his knees would go weak.
'
You look very handsome, LarIS.'
Lola used the silent language to speak.
“
The two of you look lovely.” LarIS glanced at Lizzie’s appearance. His eyes blinked because he almost didn’t recognize the female. Her short stature and strange hair color was a giveaway to her identity, but it was everything else that made her appear different.
Usually Lizzie wore baggie clothes to hide her larger frame. But those baggie clothes were gone
this evening. She wore a strapless green gown, which flowed out over the floor. The color enhanced the natural highlights in her hair, which was straightened and hanging down her back.
“
Shall we?” He held out an arm for each female to take and led them into the ballroom.
Lola
’s head was filled with a large number of buzzing sounds. All the people around her were talking but she couldn’t hear one solid sentence. That’s why she hated having the implants at all. It was beginning to give her a headache, then there was less noise as she heard him.
'
Concentrate on me. Keep our link open and flowing. I will act as a buffer and our link will help dampen out the other sounds'.
He raised her hand up to his lips and kissed her palm.
'
LarIS.'
She shivered from the touch. Those lips of his were a deadly weapon. He would have her out of her panties in minutes if he kept that up.
'
Minutes you say? I will work to make that seconds,'
LarIS commented, laughing.
She tapped his chest with her fingers in protest.
But it wasn’t hard. She also had a hard time fighting back her smile. '
You are so bad.'
'
That’s not what you were claiming last evening when you screamed how good I felt between your thighs.'
'
Stop it! We’re in public!'
She looked around as if someone could have heard them. It caused LarIS to chuckle again.
He loved teasing her and seeing her face turn that lovely shade of pink. He wasn
’t really offending her. Not with the naughty thoughts she was throwing his way through their link. Damn female was getting back at him.
'
Two can play your game, LarIS.'
She smiled and removed her hand from his arm. She grabbed Lizzie’s hand and pulled her toward the refreshments. He stood there and watched her go. The sway of her hips was mesmerizing. He didn’t even hear anyone approach until a throat was cleared. He turned to find Prime Leader RendEL standing next to him.
“
She is an interesting female,” Prime Leader RendEL commented.
“
She is amazing and beautiful,” LarIS responded.
“
I would like to speak with her. I am asking you first since you are her mate.”
“
Why do you wish to speak with her?” LarIS narrowed his eyes at the other male.
“
I wanted to offer my apologies for what happened on the Katieran transport.”
“
It never should have happened,” LarIS said with anger.
“
I agree. It is a shame I have to bear. The moment she and the other females stepped onboard our transport, they became citizens of Katiera. She and the others were under my protection and I failed them.” He looked at LarIS full of sorrow. “There are females that are lost to us forever because of my failure.”
What could LarIS say to the male. Everything he spoke was the truth. But as a Leader himself, he knew the weight that
was placed on a person’s shoulders.
“
I will see if she wishes to speak with you. I will not force her to if she does not want to.”
“
Of course not,” RendEL agreed.
LarIS moved toward Lola who was standing beside Lizzie laughing at something the other female said. He tapped her on the shoulder. She smile
d as she turned his way.
“
Couldn’t stay away from me for five minutes?” she teased, signing.
He smiled. “
One minute was too long. However, I was asked if you would mind speaking with someone.”
She tilted her head to the side. “
Who?”
“
Prime Leader RendEL requested to speak with you.”
She paled. She did
n't want to confront the man that her irrational side blamed for what happened to her. She knew that it wasn’t his fault but she still felt resentful.
“
You don't have to speak with him. I will tell him that you refused.”
Lola grabbed his arm as he turned to leave. “
No, I’ll talk to him.”
“
Are you sure?” LarIS caressed her face with such gentleness.
“
Yes.” She turned to place a quick kiss to his hand.
LarIS escorted her back to the spot
where he left RendEL. The male looked so serious. He should be, it was a serious matter that was about to be talked about.
“
Let us go to a more private location,” Leader RendEL said as he motioned for them to go outside onto the balcony. He closed the door behind them and directed them to a bench so Lola could sit down. The two males stood.
“
I haven’t been formally introduced to you yet. I am Prime Leader RendEL. Welcome to Katiera.” He looked at LarIS for translation. He didn’t know how the silent language worked.
Lola used her hands to communicate and LarIS interpreted it for her. “
It is nice to meet you too. You have a lovely home.”
RendEL spoke to LarIS
, “I wish to speak with you about your attack.”
Lola frowned. She signed
, “Please speak directly at me. If I can see your lips then I can read what you are saying.”
“
My apologies,” RendEL said sincerely, looking directly at her.
Lola felt bad immediately. “
It’s not your fault. You are not used to dealing with someone who is like me. What is it that you wanted to discuss?” She didn’t want to talk about the Morins. However, the more she was forced to do so, the easier it became.
“
I wanted to extend by deepest apologies for what had befallen you at the hands of the Morins. We were unprepared for an attack of that magnitude. I am responsible and am willing to offer amends however that I can.”
So many things were running through her head. She took a deep breath and then let it out slowly before she spoke
with her hands as LarIS interpreted, “It was not your fault. It took time for me to realize that. But I do not blame you or Katiera for what happened.”
RendEL sighed a relief. He wasn
’t sure if the female would hate him and his people. “My people would still like to offer you an amendment.”
“
What kind of amendment?” LarIS asked before Lola could.
“
We would like to offer you any choice of residence here on Katiera. We have many fine suites but there are more secluded homes on the shores of the waters of Katiera. You can chose.”
LarIS growled aggressively at RendEL. “
She is my mate and does not need your amendment.”
'
Whoa! Wait a minute, LarIS. I get to make decisions about me.'
Lola glared at him.
'
You are my mate and you will remain with me on the Colonial Planet,'
LarIS stated firmly.
'
I get to decide that. Ask him if the other women who were attacked were offered the same amendment.'
They glared at each other for a moment before LarIS asked RendEL her question. “
Lola would like to know if the other females who were attacked and taken prisoner were offered the same amendment.”
RendEL nodded his head. “
Yes. We also set them up with therapy to help them deal with their abuse.”
Lola didn
’t look at LarIS. She nodded her head and then shook it, signing with her hands.
Lar
IS interpreted for her. “She says that she appreciates the offer, but she must decline at this time.”
“
If you chose to take the offer, just let me know. I will leave you to enjoy the rest of the evening.” RendEL bowed as he excused himself to return to the ballroom.
Neither of them spoke for a while. LarIS paced back and forth, he had closed his thoughts off to Lola. He had never done that before. She worried about them. Would this be the end? She wished he would throw something or ye
ll at her. She hated the silence.
'
What did you mean when you said you could not accept the amendment…at this time?'
Oh shit!
