If it weren’t for the soft expression on her face and the laughter I would have gotten worried but it was clear she liked this. Then she pressed herself even closer, curling into me and her soft thigh brushed against my trapped cock. I saw stars and couldn’t hold back the hiss rising from my throat. I wanted her so badly, my dick was so hard it almost hurt but tonight was not the night, I needed to be patient.

Abigail however stiffened and then pulled away, sitting up. “Oh, I’m so selfish. You haven’t come yet!” Her eyes were wide as she let them roam over my tense body. I had to reassure her that I was under control so I waved a hand at her. “It is alright, not tonight. Not until you are certain you wish me for your mate.”

Her eyebrows went up, those pretty black curves over her dark skin and deep brown eyes. I loved how expressive they were, especially when she thought I couldn’t see in the dark. “What mate thing?” she asked.

Oh, of course, she wouldn’t know about Lacerten mating practices, nobody but one of my own kind would. Except I felt so comfortable with Abigail that it was hard to remember that sometimes. It was hard to think with my cock hard and her naked body kneeling at my side too but for her, I tried.

“I am almost certain my mating drive will engage should we have intercourse.” That was good, that sounded steady and calm, keep it clinical so it didn’t show how it made me nervous to talk to her about it when she wouldn’t be feeling the same drive. “If it does, I’ll imprint on you forever. It’s like...” I scrambled to remember the human word for mating I’d learned in my anthropology classes on her species. “Marriage? Only as you’re not Lacerten it’ll engage on my side but it won’t bind you.”

Her mouth dropped open and then her eyes skimmed down my body again to rest on the erection tenting my loincloth. “You saying if we have sex you’ll be biologically married to me? But I won’t be to you? And you don’t want to get stuck?”

Horrified at the way she’d worded that I shook my head and scrambled to explain. “I do want to be mated to you!” I started out with and when that made her lean back from me I tried to dial down the intensity a little. “But you don’t feel the same drive so we should take it slow so you have the chance to find out if that’s what you want too.”

“And if we don’t there’s a chance you’re stuck on me while I could walk away later, it would be another kind of slavery to you,” she said what I hadn’t even wanted to consider. As it was nothing but the truth though I forced myself to nod.

She eyed me again, more contemplative this time, and then her eyes came to rest on my erection, which kicked hard at the attention. I groaned, “Stop that. Please, I’m hanging on by a thread here. Maybe you should head to your cabin Abigail, so you can think about this.”

But she was shaking her head hard now, “And leave you like this? Hell no. How’s that fair to you?” I raised my brows, ears perking up and I sternly told myself that she wasn’t offering to mate with me now. Abigail clearly had something else in mind though because she spread her legs a little as she shifted and then gestured at my cloth-covered cock. “Let me see it Ziame.”

I groaned but obeyed, tugging the fabric away so I was bared to her. She hissed in a breath and then reached out a hand tentatively. “Can I touch?” she asked, voice husky and when I nodded she ran a finger from the base of my shaft all the way to the tip. “Looks almost human in shape. Just the tiny scales give it a bit of texture. Never mind all those pretty little lines decorating it.”

My eyes were riveted on the contrast of her dark skin as she curled her fingers around the much paler green of my cock. Then she applied just the right pressure as she rode that hand all the way to the tip and I hissed, my eyes rolling back into my head. “Good?” she asked and I could actually hear the smile in her voice.

At my nod, she added a second hand and started a slow rhythm that drove me crazy but wasn’t enough to bring me to completion. I watched her face as she worked me, flicked my tongue at the air when I sensed her own arousal rise again, she liked doing this. With a hand, I reached out and slid it between her slightly spread legs and she moaned when I thumbed her clit.

“Ziame,” she said and she sounded like she was reprimanding me but at the same time, she was pressing herself against my fingers. I laughed, “You like this.” Then I lost all sense when she leaned forward and darted out her pink tongue, running it across the head of my dick. “Gods!” I groaned, at the molten heat that shot up my spine and tightened my balls. “What are you doing?”

She lifted her head to look at me with a mischievous smile, “What you’ve never received head before?” When I shook my head with wide, startled eyes her eyebrows climbed up. “Never?” she asked and then contemplated my cock head again with what looked like confusion. “No one’s ever wanted the worship this beautiful thing?”

I opened my mouth and flicked my tongue against my fangs, “Lacerten females have these too you know. We’re venomous as well as capable of breathing fire… Not something you want to uh… receive head from?” She eyed my mouth again and then looked down at her own crotch and raised an eyebrow.

“That’s different,” I defended, “I don’t actually put you in my mouth, I just licked you… No risk of fangs.” She laughed, “I believe you but it seems unfair and unlike your females, I don’t have fangs.” She flicked her tongue against her blunt little teeth and then grinned and eyed my cock again. The greed in those eyes made it twitch and my mouth water, she really wanted to taste me; never in my wildest dreams.

Leaning in she licked the head again and then with a saucy smirk she wrapped her lips around it, engulfing the sensitive tip entirely. With a hoarse shout, my hips came off the bed, that felt so good! She pulled back and wiped her wrist over her mouth and grimaced, and guiltily I realized I’d nearly choked her with that move. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to do that.”

But she gave a sunny smile, “Are you kidding me? That was sexy and you taste fantastic. Just try to hold still now that you know what to expect. Can you do that?” I nodded quickly, anything to get her to suck my dick at this point, holy crap that was good.

As she went back to work I focused hard on keeping my ass planted on the bed and after a while it was easier to focus on how she sucked me in a rhythm, bobbing her head and working me with her hands in tandem. It was nothing like sinking into a warm cunt but damn if that suction wasn’t one of the best things I’d ever felt.

Her slick arousal coated the air, her pheromones tingling across my tongue, and with my fingers, I tried to work her clit in tandem with how she worked my cock. I imagined that’s what it be like when we actually mated and the thought of sinking into her ratcheted up my arousal another notch.

Then I remembered my tail and unwound it from her ankle, sliding it up her thigh so I could press the tip against her drenched opening. We both groaned at the same time, shit she felt so good on my cock and my tail. She raised her head for a moment and said on a moan, “Damn Ziame that’s so good.”

Taking it as permission I softly pressed the nubbed, prehensile tip of my tail inside of her; working her with it in a steady movement while flicking her little clit with my finger. In turn, she focused on my cock and it wasn’t long before we were both panting, close to the edge.

“Going to come little one,” I tried to warn but she ducked down, hollowing her cheeks and when I shouted hoarsely with my release she swallowed every single drop. I only had to work her with my tail and fingers a few seconds longer and she followed me over the edge; collapsing forward to rest her head on my thigh, right next to my spent cock.

“I have no words,” I told her after a long silence. When she gave a beatific smile from where she lay but didn’t move I shifted my arms and tail, releasing it from the tight grip of her sheath. She groaned in protest but then snuggled down eagerly when I tucked her into my body, her head on my chest. She fell asleep within moments and with a deep, deep sense of contentment, I followed her soon after.

Chapter 12

Abigail

We were approaching Xio now, ten minutes until we’d break through the atmosphere. Already, Ziame had spoken to ground control and we were good for the approach. I didn’t know exactly how it all worked but it sounded somewhat similar to how an airfield with normal planes might work on earth. Except that flights weren’t planned so much as that you’d just request a landing slot on arrival.

The past three days had been strange but good in many ways. The gladiators planned to fight on Xio had worked out hard to hone their skills, usually doing so for several hours in the morning and one or two more in the evening. The rest of the time those with no other important skills had worked at getting the ship as clean as possible

Sunder and Tori had taken it upon themselves to do an inventory of the ship’s hold but that was a massive undertaking as it was over half-filled with what were likely stolen goods. Until we got more knowledge on what things were worth, it wouldn’t be helpful to try and offload any of that. Though I certainly hoped we’d earn a pretty penny that way eventually.
