Tayla moved quietly through the forest. She took a step then
paused for several heartbeats. Head cocked at an angle, she listened and her
eyes looked everywhere. The forest was unusually quiet. An occasional critter
could be heard here and there, but there wasn’t the usual chorus of background
noise she was used to. She took another step and paused.
Tayla decided her best bet would be to get a different perspective on things. She ghosted up a tree, quiet as a soft wind blowing. She moved with ease through the trees, barely a sign of her going by. She traveled for several moments until she came to an abrupt stop and peered down at the strangest dressed creature she had ever seen.
It looked like a L’Lodias, but was wrong somehow. Its ears were deformed and rounded and the clothing so alien, she wasn’t sure what to make of it. She watched it closely, and came to an assumption that it might be male, whatever it was.

Unaware that she was above him, he continued on for a few
more yards until stopping again. He felt that he was being watched and that
unnerved him a little. Was his team playing tricks on him or was this place
actually populated? In the end he would lean against the tree that Tayla was
using and relax.
He felt safe so he let his guard down for a moment and took his gun out to spin the barrel. The clicking noise of such would filter into the surrounding area before he put it away and looked up to look at the sun peering through the branches. It would be then that he would think he was dreaming. Had he fallen asleep exhausted from days of tracking or was the humanoid form, silhouetted by the sun, real? His hand would move slowly back to the location of his gun while the other moved to block out the sun so he could take a better look.

She watched as the creature moved about and finally came to
rest against the tree she was in. She softly moved further out on the branch
she was perched to get a better look.
Her head tilted in confusion as he pulled something out and started to
toy with it. The noise it made was odd and unfamiliar to her ears and she
frowned slightly.
Then he looked up. She froze for the briefest moment. His movement finally broke her paralysis and she flew into action. Quick as a Has'tras, she bolted across the branch she was on and leaped to the next tree. Sprinting along the new branch and zipped around the trunk and was gone.
She ran through the trees for several long moments before finally coming to a stop. She came to a rest against the trunk of the tree she was in. Her thoughts turned over what she’d seen. What was that creature? Where had it come from? She mulled all this and more over as the Daystar danced through the sky. She should head home and let her people know…. But…. She didn’t have a whole lot of information to really report. Frowning slightly, she turned and faced back the way she came. She needed to go back and learn more. Slowly she moved back towards where the creature was. She would need to be more careful this time.
Not sure if she would even understand him, Zake was about to introduce himself when she bolted only to return a moment later. He would look confused for a moment before smiling to her. Surely such a gesture would be universal but he would not put out his hand since he knew from experience that in some cultures that might be seen as an insult. Before she had returned he had put his gun away, imagining that she would not need such a vulgar weapon as that or indeed any weapon sensing that she was no threat to him at the moment. In the end he would try verbal communication while she made her way back to him.
When he said his name he touched his chest with his hand and when he asked her how he should address her he hold out his hand, palm up and pointed it towards her. Hopefully she would understand that and with hope she might even speak the same tongue or at least similar at the very least. “Hello. I am Zake Cooper and what is your name?” To give her the advantage and to show that he meant her no harm, he would sit on the ground and cross his legs, motioning her to do the same, should she wish it.
She froze once more as she realized the creature had spotted her again. Her eyes widened as she turned over the thought that it was a very good hunter itself. The expression on his face was unsettling, but couldn’t be mistaken for anything but a smile. Then he spoke and it was so guttural to her ears it made her skin crawl. When he sat on the ground, she seized that moment to fade back into the foliage around her, disappearing once more.
She made her way away from him some distance, but still within her acute hearing. She had managed to also work her way higher in the trees for safely. She found a perch between a split in the tree and settled in. She would wait for the Daystar to sink and night to descend to go back. Perhaps then it would be less alert and she could observe it properly. Her mind continued to replay the events since she’d found… him, as she sank into a light but alert doze to wait out the few hours remaining in the day.
Seeing that she did not come when he offered her the chance to join him, gave him time to think. He had most likely scared her off but he did not move from the spot. Instead he took his back pack off his back and took out his cooking equipment. It would take a while to start a fire and he would do his best to keep the smoke down to a minimum.
By the time day became night his food was almost ready to eat. His thoughts would go back to the female he had seen a little while ago and wondered if she was still about. He would portion out some of his food for her should she still be watching.
As the Daystar finished sinking below the horizon, Tayla’s eyes snapped open to view the last of the sky painted by its passing. A small smile graced her lips at the sight. It was one of her two favorite times of the day. The smile disappeared as she caught a faint whiff of something burning. Alert and quick, she started to follow her nose then realized the smell was coming from where she’d last seen the male creature.
She moved even quicker, but still careful to make no sound or give away her approach. Had it, he, whatever, no he, made fire? If so that would mean there was intelligence to it, him. That thought, and his actions earlier made a click in her head. He must have been trying to tell her his name before. Rather long winded, but obviously they named their kind differently.
Coming to a stop, she carefully peered down, and looking at the top of his head, silhouetted by fire she gave the softest of sighs. Yep, definitely intelligent. But where did he come from? There were no stories or legends about such a creature. The Elders were not going to be happy with this information, but then again, maybe one would know what it, he was. She settled in and watched him, trying to learn everything she could about him.
She couldn’t afford to wait too long to report his existence, but she wanted to go back with more than something that sounded like a wild story. Her stomach gave a soft growl as she saw him set aside some of his food, making her realize she hadn’t eaten evening meal.
Initially he would not know that he was being watched and in the end he would work through his food, from killing and cooking something that looked a little like a rabbit. There were a few vegetables left along with the food he had put aside for the female. Beginning to sense that he was being watched but with no idea who or what it was, he tested a theory.
Still silent due to his presence in the area any sound could easily be picked up. Unsure what he just heard, or indeed if he had heard anything, he looked up and spoke out again “I have food should you want some.” He hoped that it was the female he had seen earlier and not someone or something else. Not expecting a response or reply he went back to his food.
She watched him eat; wishing she’d remembered to eat herself. She stiffened as he looked up and started when he spoke once more. She didn’t understand a word of course. She grew restless watching him eat. It was so boring. She slowly made her was around the clearing, moving lower and watching him from all angles.
He wasn’t hideous to look at, just different and unusual. His clothing was odd and looked almost too hot for the region. It would serve him better farther north where it was colder. She saw no B'luthyrr (bow), no Luth'ol (spear), no Killian (sword). He seemed to have no weapons on him at all. She wondered how he protected himself, or hunted for that matter.
Finally she settled on a well-covered branch across from him and watched him finish eating. She wondered what he’d do next. She memorized every detail about his person as she sat there.
With no response, he packed up but would leave the plate of food for the female should she return to the site. He smiled to himself and pulled his gun out once again to check it; yep six bullets and one in the barrel. He then stood and made his way further into the forest. It might be dark but he had equipment to help him see if the light of the stars were to be shaded by the trees.
On one such occasion, just a few hundred yards from the discarded plate, it would get so dark that he would pull out his night vision goggles and put them on. He really had scared everything away since all he could see was the outline of light from the stars as they reflected on the bushes. He would look back in the direction he had come and if she had ventured forth to eat the food from the plate he might catch a glimpse of her but if not he would continue deeper into the forest.
She was startled when he packed up and started to move off instead of bedding down for the night. Though, this wasn’t the best place for sleeping anyway. She was about to follow him when she realized he left something behind. She paused and looked in his direction as he disappeared. She carefully crept out and investigated the object to realize it was food. Well, she thought it was food since he’d been eating it. She sniffed it carefully and realized it was Yila. She took a small bit and tasted it. It tasted a bit odd, but was edible. She carefully moved through the forest after the male, careful to still keep herself distant. She ate the food as she moved.
She stopped and nearly choked on the food she was chewing when he put something over his face. Her eyes grew huge, and she almost dropped the plate in shock seeing this deformity suddenly. She back peddled quickly.
He saw her or at least her silhouette through the goggles. He moved to face after her rummaging through his bag for a dart gun. He found it and put it in his right hand, should he feel that she was getting too far ahead. “Wait” he yelled “I only want to talk to you.” The chase would go on for some time before he started to feel fatigued and a little lost in all truthfulness.
Imagining that he would get no response from his request, he stopped and aimed his dart gun. Shooting it in the day was one thing but at night he would be lucky to hit her. On top of that he had no idea of the effect the dart would have on her should it strike her flesh. If the dart struck her he would make shelter and camp for the night, after securing his guest. If it missed he would camp without her.
He spoke in his strange tongue again, but she didn’t pause. She did her best to keep her distance from him. She finished the last of the food during the chase. Feeling she was far enough ahead of him, she paused at a stream and cleaned the plate. Just as she finished she felt something hit her in the shoulder.
Dropping the plate, she grabbed her shoulder and came up with a dart in her hand. She whirled around. Too quickly, she suddenly felt dizzy and light headed. Through bleary vision she saw the creature approaching her and then she fell over and passed out.
Still running he had no idea if the dart had hit its target or not until she fell. He was quick to move her as her head had landed in the stream. He looked around for a good place to build shelter but first he would move her to sit against a nearby tree.
After building the shelter out of leaves, twigs and branches, he moved back to the female and picked her up once again to bring her to the shelter. It was more than big enough for two and now inside he would light another fire just outside the entrance to keep them both warm. He did not know how long he would have with her and the explorer in him needed to know what she was so he could catalogue such a find. Sensing that she was still in a deep sleep he worked to remove her clothing so that he could take a closer look at the specimen. Initially he would remain focused on the task but in time his more base instincts would surface. With her now naked he would look upon her form and smile. She was taller than the average human and apart from the ears she seemed to be anatomically similar to human females. He would give a thorough examination before putting her clothes back on as best he could. He had made drawing of her to show his team back at base camp and taken photographs too.
Nothing had been off limits to him when it had come to cataloguing her and now with her dressed, he packed everything away and lay on his back to fall asleep. He may have used what could be seen as violent means to finally be this close to her but in his mind he was just doing his job. For some reason he did not feel threatened by her so he would not tie her up. If she was gone in the morning he would feel disappointed but at least he had gotten something to prove to base camp that this area was indeed inhabited.
Tayla was oblivious to what was happening to her on a conscious level since she was knocked out. But her body was aware of what was being done to it, and there were times when she moaned softly during his examination of her. Finally left alone, she settled into an odd sleep with strange dreams.
Finally waking before the dawning of a new day, she froze and blinked. A slight frown crossed her face as she stared up at what was obviously part of a shelter. After the shelter, the next thing she noticed was that her clothes weren’t on properly. Before she could investigate that though, she suddenly became aware of deep, even breathing next to her, and felt the body lying next to her.
Moving ever so slowly, she levered herself to get a look, and found the creature from the day before asleep beside her. She looked at him thoughtfully as her nose flared and took his scent into her lungs. Tayla realized he was the one responsible for making her unconscious. Her eyes narrowed slightly as bits and pieces of the bizarre dreams flashed across her mind.
Moving slowly again, and just her arms, she quickly unwound the cord she kept on her person. Once free, she moved swiftly and soon had him tied up. She then moved around the encampment making sure the fire was out, and gathered up his things. She had no idea what was important, but she would take it all. Soon she was ready to move and looked down at him.
While he slept the roles between them were reversing. He would be the held one this time. When his eyes finally opened he looked up to her and smiled. Refusing to panic he imaged that she would take him to her tribe or whatever she called her people. More excited than scared he was going to ask her to be careful with his things but judging by his past experience with this particular female he imaged that she would not understand him so he refrained.
He wondered if he could get up so he tried and after a few attempts he was sitting up. He could not or would not run due partly to his curiosity and the fact that the bindings would restrict such.
Tayla watched him wiggle until he was sitting upright. She didn’t return his smile, instead she gave him a slightly puzzled look. She smelled no fear on him, only excitement. She raised a brow for half a heartbeat before shouldering his stuff, then grabbing him by the front of his clothing, she hauled him up and threw him over her shoulder. He wasn’t much heavier than a small Narel. She shifted a few times to settle him and his things better and then trotted off to the west.
She traveled all morning with ease. At about mid-day she finally changed course to a more northerly direction. She knew a place that was secluded that she could examine this creature. She had thought to take him back home, but came to the realization if he wasn’t killed outright, that he’d be taken from her and locked away. She wasn’t about to have that happen.
She traveled for the time it took the Daystar to travel a quarter of the way through the last half of the day. There was what appeared to be a mountain range of sorts before them. When she reached the foot of it, she took a better grip on him and his stuff and then leaped. She landed upon a ledge about half her height up, and before coming completely at rest she sprang off that to another ledge. She continued this until they were half way up and at a cave entrance.
Entering the cave she finally deposited him half way towards the back. She then moved further back into the cave and seemed to rummage around for several long moments. Finally, she came back and picked him up again and took him to the back and laid him upon a pile of soft furs. His stuff sat on a shelf above his head.
Talya then moved back to midway in the cave and made a fire. She used this place often enough to keep a bed and firewood stocked. She even had some dried foodstuffs stored as well. She moved to a shelf at the foot of where he lay and found a cook pot and some of the stored food, then moved back to the fire. She quickly made some food and when it was finished, she settled down next to the creature. Getting him upright she started to feed him.
Zake was a little surprised when she picked him up without so much as a groan. She was clearly stronger than she looked but then again he knew nothing about her apart from the pictures he had taken of her. Now on her shoulder, he tried his best to relax while she ran with him and his belongings through the forest. Initially he would try to track where he was being taken but in the end he just gave up and closed his eyes. At one point he even fell asleep or the sun had shifted dramatically over a period of a few minutes. He decided to go for the former while the landscape around him shifted to a rockier environment. Feeling a little dizzy when she took him by the foot and leaped to an eventual cave entrance, he collected himself and tried a smile.
Now inside the cave he would look to her while she rummaged at the back. He did not feel as if he wanted to leave and even if he did he would not be able to get out of the bindings in time; he was sure of that. So instead he relaxed awaiting her return; assuming that she would return. When she did come back he smiled with relief when she picked him up and lay him down on what felt like soft furs. He was going to say that he had more food to add to her stew that she was making but considering she either did not understand him or refused to answer him when they were in the forest he remained silent for now. When there was a suitable gap in the feeding he would say “thank you” in the hope that she would at least understand that he was grateful.
Sensing that he was getting full, she slowed at feeding him. When he spoke she cocked her head and looked at him quizzically. While she didn’t understand the words, the tone gave her an idea of what he might be trying to say. Once he indicated he was full, she finished off the bowl and set it aside. She then climbed over him to feel along the back walls. Finding what she wanted with relief, she tugged him towards herself, then sat across his hips, straddling his body.
She pulled him to an upright position so that he was against her and held him with her chin on his shoulder and untied his hands. Pushing him back down, she tied his hands in front of him and then raised them up over his head and tied him off to a protrusion of rock on the wall. She was wary for a struggle or fight the whole time and was a bit surprised when one didn’t come.
She stared down at him for several long heart beats trying to puzzle out that mystery. Eventually her attention turned from that to him and his clothing. She started touching and investigating everything on him, and him as well. Running her fingers through his hair, and poking here and there on his upper body while she sat atop him. Eventually she worked the gun holsters off him and the bandolier around his chest.
Examining the items closely, and sniffed them. They smelled horrible and she tossed them aside with a disgusted look. She quickly figured out how to get the scarf off his neck, and even how to unbuckle and get his belt off. She then sat back and studied the rest of his clothing. Now how to remove it without untying him.
Sure that she did not understand his gesture he would remain confident that she would at least not be insulted. Thankfully she was not and would soon stop feeding him. He raised an eyebrow when she sat across him after tugging him into position. He had to admit that he kind of like her this close to him. With his hands free, he commented, forgetting that she would most likely not understand him. “You don’t need to tie me up. I won’t run.” Such words would not stop her from retying his hands in front of him this time before attaching the restraints to a rock.
He would not struggle since he still felt safe in her presence. He would not say another word while she touched and poked him and even when she started to remove his equipment he just let her learn what she must from him. After all he had done the same to her, even if she was not as yet aware of it. Now with only his shirt, pants and boots remaining he would look to her searchingly. What was she thinking?
Giving a quiet sigh, Tayla moved off her specimen and moved to clean up from dinner. She added some more wood to the fire and took the dishes out. Moving down the cliff easily, she found the stream close by and washed them. She refilled the water bottles she had also brought and headed back.
Re-entering the cave she set the dishes on the shelf. She placed the water bottles near the bed. She checked the fire and banked it for the night. Returning to the bedding, she laid down next to her creature and curled up. She fell quickly to sleep. She would work out how to finish examining him in the morning. She already had an idea.
He considered that perhaps he should not have stared at her while she began to undress him because she would sigh and remove herself from his lap. He would watch her trying to learn her behaviour while she cleaned up around him. While she was gone, he thought for a second that she was going to leave him here. However, before he even considered trying to untie his bindings she returned which made him smile. She had probably gone to wash up or something like that.
Not sure what he should do or say he remained silent and did not move; even when she snuggled up against him to rest. In a few moments she was asleep so he tried to do that same after closing his eyes. Within minutes he had joined her.
Tayla woke with the Daystar. She was quickly up and restarted the fire. Before long she had things together to start breakfast. She looked over at her creature and studied him thoughtfully. She usually needed to release water from the night before when she woke, like now. She wondered if he would need to do the same. Figuring it would be better to give him the opportunity now, she went over and worked his bonds until she had them retied to make it easier to transport him.
Seeing him awake when she was finished, she lifted him up and went out of the cave. With agile and quick hops, she was soon down the face and on level ground. She moved them off a short distance into the trees. She settled him down and made motions for him to release his water. She then moved a short ways off and squatted and did so herself.
Once they’d both finished their morning business, she gathered him up again and went back to the cave. Once back inside, she retied him in the bed and got busy making breakfast. Once it finished cooking, she put a few extra herbs into his bowl before adding the meal to it. She mixed it well. Then went over and started feeding him.
He would awaken upon feeling her lessen his bonds. He had stirred a little when she had gotten up and now being carried once again he wondered what she had planned for him. He did not completely understand her gesture to pee but when he saw her relieving herself he pulled out his cock and urinated in the direction of one of the nearby trees. His eyes remained fixed away from her while she did her business only to move back to her when she moved to him. He shook his cock a little and quickly put it away before being picked back up again and taken back to the cave.
Now back in the cave, he watched her busy herself to make food. He thought he might have seen her add something to his food but was not sure if she had done the same to her food so he did not question such. Besides they still did not understand a word they were saying to one another and he was restrained so he could not refuse the food even if he wanted too. Well she had been considerate enough to allow him to not piss his pants so why would she poison him. In the end he decided that she must have put the herbs into her food too and he must have just missed it. He would open his mouth willingly upon seeing that she was going to feed him. He would soon feel light headed and he would shake his head to try and clear his vision to no effect.
She watched him closely as the herb took effect. As soon as he was back asleep, she waited a few more heartbeats before moving quickly. She untied him first and then stripped him of every bit and piece of anything on his person. Once she had him in nothing but his skin, she quickly tied him back up.
She took his bowl and left the cave. Once at the stream, she quickly dumped and washed it thoroughly before returning to the cave. Once back, she filled her own bowl and ate while poking through the stuff she’d removed off him. Occasionally she would cast glances his way and look at him thoughtfully. Finally finished with her food, and tired of going through his things without a clue to most of it, she rose and settled next to him on the furs. She looked him over from head to toe. A bit worried he hadn’t woken yet, she cautiously reached and gently grazed her fingertips across his belly.
He had not felt her remove his clothes and belonging and he had not seen her look through them and then eat her food. He would not wake or in any way become aroused until she touched his stomach with her fingertips, leaving pinkish red markings upon his skin. When he was unconscious his body had not reacted to her touch but now even with his eyes still closed his cock thickened upon awakening. This would give away that he was at least no longer asleep.
While his cock twitched and stiffened his eyes eventually opened and he remained calm even when he realized that he was very much naked. He was going to ask what she had done with his clothes but he could see them just a few yards from them both. His eyes searched her for understanding of his situation. He could understand why she had striped him but why was she touching him?
Seeing him wake, a look of relief flashed across Tayla’s face. Though she had moderated and lessened the dose for him. She still could have easily poisoned him. She did note how his body reacted to her touch and she quirked a brow at his rising member. Her gaze rose and met his searching one with a thoughtful one of her own.
Now, what had been just concern for his wellbeing turned into curiosity. She had started to withdraw her hand upon his waking, but now she brought it back and lightly touched him once more, higher up, on his chest. Her eyes darted everywhere as she took in his reaction to her latest touch. The thought had never crossed her mind that he might react so to her touch.
He would smile upon her touch and look to her when she withdrew. Upon the return of her hand he sighed when she touched his chest. There was something about her that made him trust her completely. Yes he was still restrained but he felt as if she would not hurt him. Within a few more seconds he wanted to move his hand to hers but he could not due to the restraints.
His cock grew upon her touch and when he looked to her he welcomed her touch. He smiled warmly to her while she touched his chest. “Thank you” he said softly with the hope that she would understand that he was grateful to her and how she had been with him. Yes he was restrained but she had not beaten him and had respected his dignity by feeding him and allowing him to relieve himself of waste.
Tayla noted his various reactions to her touch. She sat back slightly and got a slightly glazed look to her eyes as she got lost in both thought and assimilating the information she had so far on this strange creature. He looked almost identical to her own people, with the exception of his ears being docked. She started and came back from her thoughts when he spoke. She cocked her head at his soft words and expression.
Suddenly she moved quickly and sat straddled across his chest. Her weight didn’t quite settle on him. Gently, her hands ran through his hair and came down to lightly feel his ears. She shifted slightly to take a closer look at them, first one then the other. Apparently, they weren’t docked, but naturally that way. Softly her fingers ran lightly and repeatedly over his face. Almost like a blind person trying to “see” what he looked like. Finally she settled back once more, this time settled more on his stomach, though her full weight still didn’t rest on him. She looked him in the eyes once more and seemed to be trying to know him that way.
Her thoughts drifted to her people and a slight frown marred her features as her eyes once more glazed. They would take him and if they didn’t kill him out right and then cut him apart, then they would lock him away and do many cruel things to see how he worked. A low growl suddenly emerged from her vibrating her whole body. They couldn’t have him. Any others that might be with him, but not this one, he was hers. Suddenly her gaze cleared and the look on her face said quite plainly that she now thought of him as belonging to her. No need of a shared language for that look.
Clearly his words had been heard but not understood, but perhaps the tone had not. They would have to communicate with actions for now and the language barrier would have to be broken down later. He caught his breath when she moved quickly to rest on his chest. She had to be supporting her own weight since her leg muscles were flexed and he could still breathe with ease. His eyes closed when she gently moved her hands through his hair as if studying him only to move her attention to his ears and then his face. When she had finished and moved to his stomach he took a deep breath while she looked into his eyes for a good while. He could only imagine what she was thinking while he looked into her eyes. In the end he picked up from the way she looked at him that perhaps she was his protector or perhaps even his owner. Could it be that he now belonged to her like some sort of pet? He smiled to her and nodded as if showing that he understood or at least he thought he did.
Upon sending that information to her, he pulled gently at his bindings. “Please untie me or at least my hands as I want to touch you.” He would look to his hands with the hope that she would make sense of his gesture and need.
She blinked as her new possession suddenly nodded at her as if he had heard her thoughts. Her head cocked and her eyes narrowed slightly. Could it be possible he was a Telepath? While rare among the L’Lodias, it wasn’t unheard of, especially in her Family Line. Though it was usually between Mates that were truly Bonded or Mother and Younglings. Far as Tayla knew, she wasn’t a Telepath, of course, she’d never had reason to test if she was or not either.
She was pulled from her musings by his voice. She looked at him and then watched his actions. Again she frowned slightly. She understood what he was wanting, his hands free. And while she had no fear of him in the least, she wasn’t ready to have him freely moving yet. With an apologetic look, she gave a slight shake of her head. She then moved and went about cleaning up the breakfast utensils.
Finally done with the mundane, she came and settled once more next to him. Sitting with one leg up and the other curled around it, she faced him and looked at him thoughtfully again. Time to see if they could figure out a way to communicate. Pointing to herself she spoke. “Tayla.” She pointed at him and cocked her head with a questioning expression.
Without realizing it he had tapped into her wishes due to the bond building between them. Somehow, this bond had unlocked an ability, long since dormant within his race, that could pick up elements from those closest. Still unaware of this in time it would help them to communicate until a verbal solution presented itself. For now his hands would not be released but he could see from her apologetic look and the shake of her head that perhaps she wanted too. He had smiled to her when she had made it clear that he would remain restrained ”That’s alright .” His eyes remained upon her while she cleaned up the breakfast and then settled next to him.
He imaged that she was telling him her name when she pointed to herself. Another smile formed on his mouth while he watched her fingers point to him. “Zake” he said hoping that she would see that was his name. He assumed that Tayla was hers. “Hello Tayla. My name is Zake.” He repeated before seeing what else they could learn from one another. He tried his best to convey that he was okay with being at her mercy.
Tayla’s brow quirked again at his string of words, but she seemed to ‘know’ it was some sort of greeting of his kind, perhaps upon meeting. She assumed this since she picked out her name and his in there, and she returned one of her own. “Ze-ach. Vendui’, Ze-ach, Usstan tlun Tayla. (Zake. Greetings, Zake, I am Tayla.)” She pointed at him again as she said his name.
She then waved her hand up and down herself. “L’Lodias.” Waving her hand over him, she cocked her head again. Something was slowly coming to wake within Tayla’s mind. An ability not needed since she tended to run alone and didn’t group hunt. It stretched languidly and sleepily. Unknown to both Tayla and Zake, it sent out an invisible, searching tendril.
Mostly unaware of what had awoken Zake nodded in relative understanding of the words she spoke. He was sure that she was greeting him and that she was either part of a tribe called the L’Lodias or that was her race. Without saying a word he let his mind go free and wished what he wanted to say in his mind while speaking. He wished to convey how grateful to her to begin with. ‘Irayo, Tayla’ (Thank you, Tayla) he thought while speaking about his race.
He would have pointed to himself but with such he informed her of his while trying to use some of the words she had used just moments before. “Usstan tlun Human (I am Human)”. With the hope that he had not offended her due to him misunderstanding what she had said he smiled to her and repeated the statement.
Tayla blinked at how quickly he caught on to and used the few words she had. She gave a grin as she tried to repeat his word. “Oo-man.”
Before she could try another word that lazy, questing tendril found something and struck with quickness. It delved and wrapped and insinuated itself around and within Zake’s mind. Her eyes widened in shock before they squeezed shut. She grasped her head with a small yelp of surprise and fell over, her head landing on the soft part of his stomach. Her breathing became a bit ragged as her mind tried to assimilate and process the flood of images and sound/words that were so foreign to her.
He smiled to her. It would appear that she was trying to communicate with him with as much keenness as himself. When it struck him, his eyes closed and his mouth opened in shock as the information overload he felt within his mind. He refused to open his eyes trying to limit the stimuli within his place of captivity. It would take him an indeterminate amount of time to realize that he could hear what Talya was thinking and in this early stage he could hear an echo of his own thoughts as they bounced back from her mind into his. He had now even felt her drop onto his naked torso as his body had not registered such an action as yet. By now his breathing was deep and he could hear that Talya’s was too.
This heighten arousal was beyond anything he had ever experienced before. ‘What could I tell her of myself? Where should I start? Should I tell her that I found her attractive in a way that I had never felt before? That he could not control how he felt about her. No not yet.’ All questions that he had not realized that he had sent to her but upon comprehending such a few moments later, he opened his eyes and smiled to her trying to clear his mind and finding it almost impossible. He did not seem at all concerned that her head was upon his torso. He hoped however that she was not hurt.
By now his breathing had returned to normal, so he tried to focus his thoughts so he could speak through his mind once again. ‘Please untie me. I will not try to escape. Where would I go?’ He understood that perhaps she might not get all that he had sent her, given that his mind was full of her thoughts bouncing this way and that, so why should hers be any different, but he wanted her to know that he would not escape.
Tayla kept her eyes squeezed shut as so much information flooded her mind. The Hunter within her rose at first thinking an attack, but she was quick to realize that was not the case here. The Scout within her stepped up and started processing and filtering the information that bounced and echoed around her head. Her own and Zake’s. The Scout quickly noted the similarities between their species. His first focused thoughts hit her like a punch in the gut, and her body reacted in a way she’d never had it react with a male. Her eyes flew open and met his. Her hand dropped from her head and landed lightly on his chest, only to softly glide along the contours. Something else awoke in Tayla that she’d been trying hard to bury and ignore since reaching maturity and breeding ability.
Her people were not shy about anything really. After all, how will the young know anything if they don’t witness it? This even included mating. Tayla had observed many ways and forms of mating amongst her people all her growing up. Now all that information rose to the forefront and blocked out any other thoughts. The Scout quietly rummaged around in Zake’s mind and found what was needed to make this a successful coupling. Tayla moved with the Hunter’s grace she possessed. As she rose and worked her way up from Zake’s middle, her clothes managed to come off as well, and soon she was straddling his hips. She looked deep into his eyes as her body started to softly rub against his. Her eyes blazed with an urgent and powerful need before her head dropped and captured his lips with her own.
He watched as she finally opened her eyes and began to caress his chest. Had she heard his plea, in part it would seem so. Her clothes were removed and his eyes took in her form once again. Of course he had seen her naked before but he would try to suppose that for now and enjoy the vision before him. How successful he had been with such a suppression would become clear in a moment, he was sure of it. Now with her straddling him, his cock drew dangerously close to insertion into her sex, while she rubbed gently up and down his groin area. His eyes now looking deep into hers he welcomed her kiss, a kiss so sweet he would wish that such an action would never end. His eyes closed again whilst enjoying the sensation, he projected how he felt with the hope that she would learn how much he liked her.
His cock engorged with blood during such affections and he so wanted to feel her touch upon it. He wanted to touch her too but with his hands tied all he could do was kiss her. In the end he focused his lust for the moment into kissing her while projecting his need to be free from the restraints once again. He would moan with great joy upon feeling her body touching his.
Tayla’s head jerked up as she caught a faint understanding that he’d seen her naked form before. She gazed at him for long moments as this processed, her body never stopped moving against his. She would come dangerously close to impaling herself upon his stiffened member. Several times the tip would start to enter, to only be pulled back out. She felt his arousal and enjoyment of their bare bodies touching. She also felt his desire to be free. A slow smile formed and her own thoughts were projected to his. He had taken advantage of her at some point and stripped her naked, now he would pay for such impatience and continue to stay tied.
The Scout hunted around and found what she wanted. Tayla quickly raised her body up so that it no longer touched Zake’s and she dropped her head again and nuzzled his chin up and lightly nipped his throat. She then sent trails nipping and licking down and across his chest, making short stops to tease his nipples. The she would continue moving down him, keeping her body above his and not touching. Her lips, teeth and tongue dancing along his belly until her face was close to his mating member.
He tried not to react when she jerked her head but he sensed that his attempted to keep his secret from her had not worked. What would she do in reaction to this he was sure to find out soon? However, he would be teased a little more when she continued to rub up against him. He even felt the tip of his cock enter her several times and upon feeling this he moaned expecting her to continue with the action and take him. When she gave him a glimpse of what she was going to do to repay his earlier indiscretion just before she rose up, he was going to frown but in truth he liked being teased and tied up. So instead he smiled warmly to her and watched her move to nip his neck.
While she did this and moved over his torso and chest, he sent how he felt from her teasing through his mind. He wanted this and it was driving his crazy with lust for her. He tensed when she focused upon his nipples and seemed to hold his breath when she moved down to his groin after kissing, biting and licking his lower torso. What he would like to do to her would have to wait it would seem and once free he would give her exactly what he thought she needed and with hope she would like it. For now he looked to her while she continued to lick and nibble at him until she came close to his cock. Taking a deep breath after realizing that he had not breathed for a while he watched her consider her next move. ‘I want you’ he projected. ‘I want to hear you cum’ he added before sending what he imaged they would look like while mating.
Before Tayla could make a move a flood of images hit her mind of what he wanted. It temporarily distracted her as her body heated up with need. Her eyes briefly closed as she let out a quiet moan. Her nipples tightened and her scent suddenly filled the cave with her desire. She started breathing quite heavily and it was several moments before she could move again.
Suddenly the Scout found a memory that was both shocking and fascinating, and it was something she had never seen done amongst her people. With a quick move and twist she had herself repositioned. Her face was still down at his stiffened member, but now her own moist and hot opening hovered just barely above his lips. Part of her studying the image from all angles, she slowly lowered her head and took his cock into her mouth. She let her tongue swirl around the tip for several long moments before she let the rest of it slide further in.
His head was filled with possibilities but he was unable to do anything except see where Tayla’s need would take them. So swift she was that within a blink of an eye her mouth was within tasting distance of his cock and her thick sweet scent had filled the cave. He wanted her and upon the touch of her tongue upon his cock he sighed moments before seeing her move her sex to his mouth. With only his tongue to use he would do such. So sweet was her taste upon the first lick that his need for her would further enflame with his own desire. He would send her deep and desirable images of how he would have her if she’d only untied him if not then he sent further images to her of his cock exploring her tight and moist depths. He would sigh again when she started to take his cock inside her mouth.
Upon feeling her tongue swirl he shuddered in excitement. He wanted to hear her scream out his name upon their claiming of one another. He lend forward so that his tongue could slide inside her sex, as if simulating how his cock might feel when finally allowed to do so. He hummed sending such vibrations through her body and then smiled before kissing her sex. He would then stick his tongue in as deep as it would go before licking around her soft lips drinking her in.
His images flooded her mind, intensifying her excitement. Almost she gave in and untied him, but lost that thought as his tongue suddenly touched her heated sex. A strange sound vibrated her throat and the head of his cock deep inside her mouth. As he continued to use his tongue on her in fascinating and pleasurable ways she was forced to swallow a few times. More molten liquid oozed from her opening and her body shuddered slightly. Her hips shifted bringing her sex even closer to his lips and tongue, wanting more. She recalled the images and slowly slid her head back up along his shaft while her hand reached out and lightly caressed the sac that hung below his member. Once she had just the tip in her mouth, she started to suck on it, lightly at first but with ever increasing pressure. Her head slid up and down his cock as his tongue danced among her folds, setting a fire in her belly the likes that she had never known.
Tayla had never experienced anything like what she was experiencing now. She knew from her lessons and observations that her people had never done something like this. What before was just a possessiveness over something new that she wasn’t going to allow to be taken from her, became fiercer. He was hers and she would kill anyone who tried to take him from her, be they his people or hers. These thoughts were more than clear to Zake, he belonged to her in more ways than her just having him tied up and her helpless prisoner at the moment.
The need to claim him became over powering on the heels of those thoughts and she quickly disengaged herself from him. She turned once more until she was hovering over him face to face, his cock lightly touching her wet, velvety soft opening. The need and possessiveness clear in her eyes, and something else, deeper, darker, irreversible. Suddenly a twitch and a jerk of her hips and he was seated deep within her almost too tight walls. Her head fell back and a cry escaped her at the impalement. Her head came back forward as her hips started rocking and thrusting, rising up and down. Her eyes blazed as their scents mingled, joined, became one. She had claimed him, he was now her mate, and she his. Any who came upon them would know this now, their scents one for as long as both of them lived. Zake would understand this from the images that came from her fevered mind.
He moaned upon her receiving his cock deeper into her mouth while he worked her sex with his limitless skills. Satisfying her was all he could think about and it would seem that she had the same idea for him. It was at that point that she moved closer to his mouth so that he could lick her more intently. He groined when she cupped his balls, taking his cock deeper into her mouth. He wanted to cum but he would fight such a need until he was inside her sex. He felt as if he must as if it was his destiny to do so. They were one now both in body and in soul. So forged for all time were they now that if one died the other was certain to follow.
While he thought on this she moved again and looked to him while her sex hovered tentatively touching the tip of his cock. Again he felt like bursting his seed into her at that moment but he took a deep breath and pushed such thoughts away. Without warning or even a pause he was deep inside her. He could feel all of her sex; the tightness, the wetness and the soft thick walls within. The images coming from his mate were understood. He was locked in an emotional bond with her for all time and he could do nothing, nor did he want too, to stop it. If this was love, he liked it, even if the pain in his heart from the pounding within was a little uncomfortable. She was his and he was hers and for that he would be forever with her. He roared on occasion and such a noise would echo through the cavern and out into the forest depths. She would take him and he her and he wanted nothing but that to occur. He tightened his buttocks to push his shaft in that little bit more with each and every thrust. No longer did he have the urge to cum but cum he would once she was spent. For now, however, he just enjoyed the connection they had as it became stronger as the seconds ticked by.
The fire in her belly turned to and intense tightening need as his own added efforts to their coupling made her go into a high frenzy. Each thrust and grind of her hips upon his cock came harder and faster. Her breathing was coming in panted gasps as a tension within her built, pushing her to an edge. What kind of edge she didn’t know, but she wanted it, and wanted it now.
Her moves became more frantic and desperate. And in truth, should have been painful with the force with which she rode him. Suddenly her body tightened ever so slightly. Her nipples tightened into tight puckered buds as her body went into convulsive shutters, forcing her pelvic to grind against his and keep her orgasm going. “ZE-ACH!” His name echoed and rebounded around the cave, her pleasure clear to hear.
His name echoed with his roar when she came; giving him instruction to release his seed inside of her. Pulse after pulse burst forth into her sex until finally he was spent and his body began to relax with his cock very much within her. Not as profound but very much evident, his breathing echoed hers. The connection with Tayla was now sealed for all time as the last of the connections of their minds was forged upon their combined release. Her thoughts to him were no longer a jumbled mess of feelings and emotions. He could hear her clearly now and he imaged the same could be true for her.
‘I love you’ he shared through his mind and he would smile when sharing such. ‘I cannot live without you my love’ he added knowing that she already knew that. He kissed her tenderly about the mouth and then gently upon her tight nipples, looking into her eyes the whole time. Now back at her mouth he would kiss her again while the last of his seed leaked from his cock.
She heard his words, understood them, the language barrier was gone between them. Her eyes blazed briefly as he kissed her, and then moved down to her hard nipples, setting off the need for more mating in her. Tayla smiled at Zake. “You are mine. I am yours. We belong together, no one can take us from each other. Not your people, not mine.” As she ‘spoke’ to him, she had reached up and untied his hands.
Her hands slowly slid down his arms after untying him until they came to his shoulders and moved to cup his face. She leaned in and kissed him. “I love you, strangely enough. Now mate with me again.” Her hips made slow, lazy circles as her slick walls tightened around his cock. “I have never witnessed such a mating, and I want more.” Her hands slid up the sides of his face and tangled in his hair. She gave a gentle but insistent tug pulling his head back slightly and lightly nipped his jaw and down his throat.
Clearly within his mind her words came back. ‘Yes we are one. I love you.’ He smiled was returned with one of his own. He felt his hands becoming free and upon feeling such he moved them to the front and smiled again. She spoke to him of her love and the need to mate with him once more. With her, he was already ready to do just that. ‘Thank you. Now let me repay your gesture’ he added in response to having his hands freed. ‘More you want then more you will have my love.’ He moaned deeply upon feeling her begin to grind against his cock.
Such deep emotion would be sent to her in as flood after flood of desire for her filled his body and mind. With his hands now free he moved them to her skin and began to caress her waist and then her chest. While she nipped at his neck, with his head back, he gently massaged her perfect breasts focusing upon the nipples mostly. In time such hands would slid behind her and cup her buttocks to assist her in sliding up and down his cock with more enthused pace. His upper arms were tense now showing the definition within them. He felt as if he could make love to her forever and in truth he was most likely not far from the truth. Something had sealed them as one for all time and that something gave them both new strength to reveal to most committed of couples.
Tayla groaned as his desire crashed upon her psyche. Feeling his hands upon her body fueled her own need and desire to new heights. His words made her growl low and her hips moved easily with his added help. Pressing her body full against his, she gave a strange twist and before he knew it she lay under him. She smiled up at Zake. “Now it is your turn.” Her eyes were aglow with her need and desire, and now her hips rolled up to meet his thrusts deep within her. Her legs came up and wrapped around his hips, locking them together.
She moved easily with him, yet made no moves to lead this go around. She waited excitedly to see what he would do. A small part of her realized, he was the reason she had so often avoided any attempts of mating by her own people. None of them even seemed as right as he felt. This was the mate meant for her, and she was happy and content finally.
With her now beneath him, he smiled and nodded in understanding. He sighed and moaned heavily when it was his turn to take control. Still inside her he quickly moved forward so that her legs slipped up straight against his chest so that her feet were by his head and her buttocks became slightly elevated. He would then rock, slowly to being with, and he would feel every contour upon his cock of her moist and hot walls. The more he lent towards the closer her knees moved to her chest and her feet to her own head. He knew that she was flexible enough to do this since she had already shown him what she was capable of.
Now deep inside her, he continued to rock back and forth in quick heated thrusts and on occasion he would be able to kiss her being sure to move up a little to allow her to breathe when needed. So in need to be with her and to ensure that she would be completely satisfied, he soon moved back a little to allow her legs to part so that he could take her in a more tradition position. Such a position was only temporary when he placed his hands upon her knees and began to straighten her legs horizontally with her body. With each thrust he would part her legs until finally they formed a T shape to her torso. There he would stop and continue to make love to her now that her sex was as wide as it could possibly be. So good it felt to be as deep as he could possibly be within his mate and soon enough he was panting with a passion he could not have imaged.
Tayla’s eyes widened as Zake pretty much slowly folded her in half. But it wasn’t long before her eyes became hooded and deep moans emerged from between her lips. Her pussy made spasmodic moves as he rocked against her. She eagerly met the brief kisses he gave. Her breathing became a bit ragged, not from lack of air the position he had put her in, but due to the slowly building tension he was creating inside her once more.
A slight sound of disappointment escaped her as he moved away bring her legs back to a more normal positioning and the tension eased up some. But as he grabbed her knees and started making her legs fold away from their bodies, she once more moaned in pleasure. With each stroke of his rod inside her velvety canal, she gave a cry of pleasure. Soon her breathing was coming in gasps and her body arched. Her nipples were so tight they were actually painful, but she didn’t notice as once more he took her to that place of bliss yet again, and her body bucked under his with each spasm that shot through her. A long drawn out cry of pleasure coming from her. “Oh yes Zake! Yes!” Her thoughts clear to him through their bond. Then something else came through their bond as well. He felt her orgasm as she felt it, felt himself sliding in and out of her tight hole, felt it wrap and contract around him with each pulse of her release.
He had felt and heard the disappointment when he had moved her into the more traditional position. Had that been why he had changed his tact or had he had no intention of remaining in that position for long, even he was not sure. Her moan of pleasure when he spread her legs so that she made a T shape he saw her nipples harden assuring him that she liked this new position; that and the fact that he felt it within his mind that she did too. His hands slipped to her ankles as he lent towards her, making her legs open even more while her thigh muscles supported his upper body weight.
When she orgasmed his body picked it up and sent such vivid images to his mind making him roar with delight. Her words to his mind were responded too while the first of his gift to her burst forth into her sex ’I love you’ Like he had experienced how she had felt upon orgasming, she too would have such sent to her body and mind when he came too; the tightness of his balls the moment before release, the pressure that would build within his shaft and the final feeling of release when the pressure of his seed moved up within his cock and squirted into her sex. When spent he released her ankles and slowly moved towards her to kiss her lips with his own. His passion for was still very much evident as was the hardness in his cock.
Tayla’s eyes widened as she felt his release, and it mingled with her own. Nothing in her life even came close to preparing her for such an experience. A slow loving smile grew on her lips just before he reached her and kissed her. “I love you.” She wrapped her arms around him and deepened the kiss.
Finally breaking the kiss, she smiles up at him. “There is so much I have to show you. I don’t even know where to start. Well… Survival might be a good place, but still…” She wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him closer to her. She rotated her hips in slow lazy circles. “Maybe not just right yet though. There’s plenty of time for such I suppose.” She grinned up at him.
He could not remember the last time he felt as live as he did now. She loved him too; he had heard it from her mind. He would smile in response to her doing the same and enjoy the kiss he shared with her. He did not want this feeling to end and the eternal bond they now had would ensure that it never did. When she rotated her hips while sharing her thoughts with him, he became more aroused and shared such with his beloved.
His constant need to make love to her did not stop him from listening to her words. ’I look forward to you showing me all of what you wish. Start wherever you want. I am yours for all time so I am in no rush. I have your back and always will do so.’ He then held her in his arms and enjoyed the hip rotations while he gently thrust his cock in and out of her sex.
“Mmm. There are so many dangers here you should know about. I don’t want to lose you now that I found you.” her hips continued their slow circling as he softly thrust into her. A slow tension was deliciously building once more and she liked it. A look of concern briefly crossed her face. “I need to show you what is edible and what is not. What will kill you and what is ok.” She gave a soft sigh of pleasure and her hips rotated a bit faster. The tension was building and she couldn’t help speed it along as delightful as this slow love making was.
’Nor I you, my love. I feel as if all of me has merged with all of you and we are forever connected. To lose you now would destroy me so I will listen and listen well to what you tell me and your warnings.’ He was already prepared to make love to her once more and in all truthfulness being inside her like this felt natural to him as anything else, he imaged, would feel strange and incomplete. ’Do not be concerned for me. I will learn fast and pay attention, I promise, my love.’ He moaned as the arousal built in him and this was magnified when she increased the speed of the love making.
Knowing by now that they could still ‘talk’ while their mouths were occupied, he kissed her briefly only to kiss her again for much longer time. Soon his tongue would enter her mouth and join hers within. His thrusts of his cock would quicken and soon enough he was breathing heavily. ’I love you and always will’ he sent to her as if was the first time of telling her. ’So tell me of some of the dangers or do you think it is better to show me?’
Images filled his mind suddenly of strange creatures, some vaguely familiar, others not so much. “These are fairly harmless, unless cornered or hurt. Then they can be vicious as only trapped or dying creatures can be.” Other images flooded his mind. Most wild in appearance, one stood out though as a small ball of fur that could fit in the palm of his hand. “These however can be deadly, by actions, claw or fang, especially that last one. Its fur is highly toxic and there is no cure for it found.”
Through the whole sharing she continued to kiss him. Her tongue quickly learned the dance his was teaching. Her hips continued to slowly increase their pace. The tension within her was building ever so slightly quicker with each increase until finally her body bucked under his as another orgasm hit her. A muffled cry came from deep within her to be released into their kiss.
The images brought to his mind might not have made sense before the mating but after he understood everything. The images of the creatures were unfamiliar but they would be burned into his soul as would her words of caution. He kissed her continually and showed that he understood with a simply ’thank you’. Soon enough his mind filled, once again, with how he felt while they mated continuously. When she came, his excitement within built fast and within seconds he too orgasmed once again. Like before it was heavy and the kiss muffled his deep moan only a moment after it had muffled her cry.
He held her for a moment or perhaps many minutes. Time seemed nothing to him right now and he wondered if it ever would or indeed if it would ever be the same again. He stopped kissing her to look at her; his eyes to her eyes, his mind to her mind.
She lay below him contented for now. When he released the kiss and looked at her, she gave him a soft smile. “You are welcome.” She was more than happy to lay there with him and rest. They would need to eat soon enough and for now, she was happy to be here with him, happy that her mate was found, even if he was a different species. What mattered is they were together. A stray thought wandered through her mind and was easily picked up by him, if their children would have her pointed ears or his round ones.
“It is good that we have found each other. But why are you here? What brought you here?” The urge to mate over, now she was curious to find out the things she wanted to know, but couldn’t ask before since they hadn’t a common language. “And what is the strange attire you wear and carry. The… clothes… will not do here. You will quickly get too hot.” Her hand came up and lightly caressed his back. “Though, personally, I prefer how you are dressed now.” A grin blossomed on her lips at that last comment.
He smiled with a hint of amusement upon picking up her ear thought. He jokingly sent back an image of a child with their left ear pointy and their right rounded until finally changing it to a child with pointed but not as pronounced as his mate’s.
He would show a hint of uncertainty as to why he had been sent here with his team of explorers and not try to hide it. ’From my understanding my team has been sent to explore this sector of the planet. I heard a rumour of possible habitats to be used for or even resources but upon seeing that this area is clearly not devoid of peoples i would imagine that my people will look elsewhere.’ He would then smile back to her upon seeing her grin. While he enjoy the touch of her fingers upon his back, his fingers would mirror hers upon her back. ’I will be happy for you to assist me in redesigning my outfit to suit the environment or as you say I could always remain naked as long as you do.” He already liked her teasing manner and hoped that she would like his too. It would be then that his tummy would rumble upon the thought of food.
Her eyes popped at the images of their children he sent, but she was laughing. “Who knows? You may be more accurate than you think on that.” Tayla still chuckled as he answered her questions. Finally sobering as the implications hit. “Hmm. Well, this world is big. Some of your people could set up a few villages here and there. As you and I have just proven, it is possible for our Peoples to mate. Young though will be the deciding factor in the end if it would be wise to mate together.”
She looked thoughtful as he spoke of her designing an outfit for him, then she chuckled. “Perhaps you should see what goes for dress first, before you decide what you’ll want to wear. Some of it can be… quite revealing.” She grinned at him, the look on her face clearly saying that she wouldn’t mind such on him. She heard his stomach rumble and frowned. “Hungry? Shall I make us something to eat?”
He would join in with the laughter upon hearing her react to his little joke. ’Yes perhaps I might be. We will have to wait and see when you give birth and as we watch the baby grow into childhood.’ Her thoughts on settlements made him cease laughing so that he could focus better on what she was telling him. ’Yes they could and it is my hope that by doing so they will not affect your chances of survival while they do that. I am sure they will not as you have just said this world is big.’ His thoughts moved to that of the repercussions of them having a child before sharing such with his mate. ’Yes we have proven that and it is my hope that we will continue to do so for the rest of my life.’ He would give her a cheeky grin before adding ’I hope for our sake that it is wise as I would not want any harm to come to you.’
His mood would lighten when she spoke of the outfits. He would once again smile to her upon seeing her grin and nod upon her asking if he was hungry. ’Yes but I am sure that I can help you now that my hands are free. As for the outfits, I will be happy to wear whatever is befitting. After all I sense that you would like it.’
Tayla gave a slight shrug to his concerns over her birthing young. “I will know in a day or two if your seed has caught. In the meantime, we can use the time to teach you of this world, and get you acclimated.” She grinned up at him slyly. “And work on making sure your seed catches as well.” For some reason, she had no doubts that his seed would. There was a feeling of the Universe working on something to make it happen.
She wiggled out from under him and sat up. “Very well, let us make something to eat then.” She rose up and went for the supplies on the self above. “We will need to replace thing before we leave. It is wise to always have a well-stocked bolt hole, several actually, for emergencies.” She moved over to the pit with the items in her arms and squatted to place them on the ground. She looked over at Zake with a smile as she started to put a meal together.
He nodded in understanding of her plan before chuckling a little at her remark about them ensuring that he seed had taken. ’Oh I totally agree. On all counts my love.’ He sensed that she believed it would and he thought so too. He was more than willing to let her feel that for sure.
He would rise to stand and follow Tayla to the pit. ’Yes show me how you cook and what you cook in these parts for I wish to cook for you as soon as I have learnt how to prepare the food from around here in a safe and appetizing way.’ He would smile back to her when she began to put the meal together. He would watch what she was doing like a hawk, making mental notes of what she was doing and how she was doing it. Understanding replaced confusion once he had seen that the items used looked not totally dissimilar to those found at home. ’So where would we find replacements to restock?’ While he worked with her, he had not even considered that either of them should redress. Already he felt comfortable in his skin and in all honestly thought nothing of covering himself up.
“Most things we’ll have to hunt and prepare to be stored. The herbs and things like that we can travel the forest floor for. Same with the wood for fires. We have many such places as these scattered through all our territory. Never know who might need some place safe to stay for a bit. Usually there’s enough stored to last a hand of days. If you need beyond that, you are in serious trouble, and usually people are out looking for you by then anyway.” She started dishing out the food and handed him his portion.
Tayla continued talking while they ate. “We can get a start right after we clean up after eating, both us and the meal utensils.” She grinned at him with a twinkle in her eye, more than cleaning up on her mind.
Taking in what she sent to his mind was becoming incredibly easy now. He wondered for a moment if they would ever use their mouths to talk ever again. Besides he had found much more interesting uses for his mouth recently. He smiled at airing such a thought. His eyes widened upon seeing what she had prepared for them both. ’it looks lovely’ he shared honestly.
With the first portion of food within his mouth, he would nod again at her suggestion that they make a start once they have eaten and cleaned up. ’Sounds like a plan to me, unless we get distracted by something else.’ He had obviously picked up on her hint of such. Even while eating he felt as if he wanted her again imagining he would never tire of the act.
Her twinkle turned into a full-fledged impish grin at his last thoughts. “Me either.” His wanting her even as they ate, flared her own desire for him up. Suddenly she stood and walked over to him. Gently she removed the plate from his hand, then managed to wiggle herself to be sitting on his lap, her knees coming to rest on either side of his ass. As she settled, she skillfully dumped his plate onto hers, and set his plate aside. She then picked up some food, and gently pressed it to his lips.
She had managed to somehow keep her actions hidden until she was firmly sitting on him. Her eyes glowed with mischief as her hips suddenly started to softly rock against him. “Shall we see how multi-talented we can be?” Her scent wafted up to mingle with the food smells right below his nose.
Then he looked up. She froze for the briefest moment. His movement finally broke her paralysis and she flew into action. Quick as a Has'tras, she bolted across the branch she was on and leaped to the next tree. Sprinting along the new branch and zipped around the trunk and was gone.
She ran through the trees for several long moments before finally coming to a stop. She came to a rest against the trunk of the tree she was in. Her thoughts turned over what she’d seen. What was that creature? Where had it come from? She mulled all this and more over as the Daystar danced through the sky. She should head home and let her people know…. But…. She didn’t have a whole lot of information to really report. Frowning slightly, she turned and faced back the way she came. She needed to go back and learn more. Slowly she moved back towards where the creature was. She would need to be more careful this time.
Not sure if she would even understand him, Zake was about to introduce himself when she bolted only to return a moment later. He would look confused for a moment before smiling to her. Surely such a gesture would be universal but he would not put out his hand since he knew from experience that in some cultures that might be seen as an insult. Before she had returned he had put his gun away, imagining that she would not need such a vulgar weapon as that or indeed any weapon sensing that she was no threat to him at the moment. In the end he would try verbal communication while she made her way back to him.
When he said his name he touched his chest with his hand and when he asked her how he should address her he hold out his hand, palm up and pointed it towards her. Hopefully she would understand that and with hope she might even speak the same tongue or at least similar at the very least. “Hello. I am Zake Cooper and what is your name?” To give her the advantage and to show that he meant her no harm, he would sit on the ground and cross his legs, motioning her to do the same, should she wish it.
She froze once more as she realized the creature had spotted her again. Her eyes widened as she turned over the thought that it was a very good hunter itself. The expression on his face was unsettling, but couldn’t be mistaken for anything but a smile. Then he spoke and it was so guttural to her ears it made her skin crawl. When he sat on the ground, she seized that moment to fade back into the foliage around her, disappearing once more.
She made her way away from him some distance, but still within her acute hearing. She had managed to also work her way higher in the trees for safely. She found a perch between a split in the tree and settled in. She would wait for the Daystar to sink and night to descend to go back. Perhaps then it would be less alert and she could observe it properly. Her mind continued to replay the events since she’d found… him, as she sank into a light but alert doze to wait out the few hours remaining in the day.
Seeing that she did not come when he offered her the chance to join him, gave him time to think. He had most likely scared her off but he did not move from the spot. Instead he took his back pack off his back and took out his cooking equipment. It would take a while to start a fire and he would do his best to keep the smoke down to a minimum.
By the time day became night his food was almost ready to eat. His thoughts would go back to the female he had seen a little while ago and wondered if she was still about. He would portion out some of his food for her should she still be watching.
As the Daystar finished sinking below the horizon, Tayla’s eyes snapped open to view the last of the sky painted by its passing. A small smile graced her lips at the sight. It was one of her two favorite times of the day. The smile disappeared as she caught a faint whiff of something burning. Alert and quick, she started to follow her nose then realized the smell was coming from where she’d last seen the male creature.
She moved even quicker, but still careful to make no sound or give away her approach. Had it, he, whatever, no he, made fire? If so that would mean there was intelligence to it, him. That thought, and his actions earlier made a click in her head. He must have been trying to tell her his name before. Rather long winded, but obviously they named their kind differently.
Coming to a stop, she carefully peered down, and looking at the top of his head, silhouetted by fire she gave the softest of sighs. Yep, definitely intelligent. But where did he come from? There were no stories or legends about such a creature. The Elders were not going to be happy with this information, but then again, maybe one would know what it, he was. She settled in and watched him, trying to learn everything she could about him.
She couldn’t afford to wait too long to report his existence, but she wanted to go back with more than something that sounded like a wild story. Her stomach gave a soft growl as she saw him set aside some of his food, making her realize she hadn’t eaten evening meal.
Initially he would not know that he was being watched and in the end he would work through his food, from killing and cooking something that looked a little like a rabbit. There were a few vegetables left along with the food he had put aside for the female. Beginning to sense that he was being watched but with no idea who or what it was, he tested a theory.
Still silent due to his presence in the area any sound could easily be picked up. Unsure what he just heard, or indeed if he had heard anything, he looked up and spoke out again “I have food should you want some.” He hoped that it was the female he had seen earlier and not someone or something else. Not expecting a response or reply he went back to his food.
She watched him eat; wishing she’d remembered to eat herself. She stiffened as he looked up and started when he spoke once more. She didn’t understand a word of course. She grew restless watching him eat. It was so boring. She slowly made her was around the clearing, moving lower and watching him from all angles.
He wasn’t hideous to look at, just different and unusual. His clothing was odd and looked almost too hot for the region. It would serve him better farther north where it was colder. She saw no B'luthyrr (bow), no Luth'ol (spear), no Killian (sword). He seemed to have no weapons on him at all. She wondered how he protected himself, or hunted for that matter.
Finally she settled on a well-covered branch across from him and watched him finish eating. She wondered what he’d do next. She memorized every detail about his person as she sat there.
With no response, he packed up but would leave the plate of food for the female should she return to the site. He smiled to himself and pulled his gun out once again to check it; yep six bullets and one in the barrel. He then stood and made his way further into the forest. It might be dark but he had equipment to help him see if the light of the stars were to be shaded by the trees.
On one such occasion, just a few hundred yards from the discarded plate, it would get so dark that he would pull out his night vision goggles and put them on. He really had scared everything away since all he could see was the outline of light from the stars as they reflected on the bushes. He would look back in the direction he had come and if she had ventured forth to eat the food from the plate he might catch a glimpse of her but if not he would continue deeper into the forest.
She was startled when he packed up and started to move off instead of bedding down for the night. Though, this wasn’t the best place for sleeping anyway. She was about to follow him when she realized he left something behind. She paused and looked in his direction as he disappeared. She carefully crept out and investigated the object to realize it was food. Well, she thought it was food since he’d been eating it. She sniffed it carefully and realized it was Yila. She took a small bit and tasted it. It tasted a bit odd, but was edible. She carefully moved through the forest after the male, careful to still keep herself distant. She ate the food as she moved.
She stopped and nearly choked on the food she was chewing when he put something over his face. Her eyes grew huge, and she almost dropped the plate in shock seeing this deformity suddenly. She back peddled quickly.
He saw her or at least her silhouette through the goggles. He moved to face after her rummaging through his bag for a dart gun. He found it and put it in his right hand, should he feel that she was getting too far ahead. “Wait” he yelled “I only want to talk to you.” The chase would go on for some time before he started to feel fatigued and a little lost in all truthfulness.
Imagining that he would get no response from his request, he stopped and aimed his dart gun. Shooting it in the day was one thing but at night he would be lucky to hit her. On top of that he had no idea of the effect the dart would have on her should it strike her flesh. If the dart struck her he would make shelter and camp for the night, after securing his guest. If it missed he would camp without her.
He spoke in his strange tongue again, but she didn’t pause. She did her best to keep her distance from him. She finished the last of the food during the chase. Feeling she was far enough ahead of him, she paused at a stream and cleaned the plate. Just as she finished she felt something hit her in the shoulder.
Dropping the plate, she grabbed her shoulder and came up with a dart in her hand. She whirled around. Too quickly, she suddenly felt dizzy and light headed. Through bleary vision she saw the creature approaching her and then she fell over and passed out.
Still running he had no idea if the dart had hit its target or not until she fell. He was quick to move her as her head had landed in the stream. He looked around for a good place to build shelter but first he would move her to sit against a nearby tree.
After building the shelter out of leaves, twigs and branches, he moved back to the female and picked her up once again to bring her to the shelter. It was more than big enough for two and now inside he would light another fire just outside the entrance to keep them both warm. He did not know how long he would have with her and the explorer in him needed to know what she was so he could catalogue such a find. Sensing that she was still in a deep sleep he worked to remove her clothing so that he could take a closer look at the specimen. Initially he would remain focused on the task but in time his more base instincts would surface. With her now naked he would look upon her form and smile. She was taller than the average human and apart from the ears she seemed to be anatomically similar to human females. He would give a thorough examination before putting her clothes back on as best he could. He had made drawing of her to show his team back at base camp and taken photographs too.
Nothing had been off limits to him when it had come to cataloguing her and now with her dressed, he packed everything away and lay on his back to fall asleep. He may have used what could be seen as violent means to finally be this close to her but in his mind he was just doing his job. For some reason he did not feel threatened by her so he would not tie her up. If she was gone in the morning he would feel disappointed but at least he had gotten something to prove to base camp that this area was indeed inhabited.
Tayla was oblivious to what was happening to her on a conscious level since she was knocked out. But her body was aware of what was being done to it, and there were times when she moaned softly during his examination of her. Finally left alone, she settled into an odd sleep with strange dreams.
Finally waking before the dawning of a new day, she froze and blinked. A slight frown crossed her face as she stared up at what was obviously part of a shelter. After the shelter, the next thing she noticed was that her clothes weren’t on properly. Before she could investigate that though, she suddenly became aware of deep, even breathing next to her, and felt the body lying next to her.
Moving ever so slowly, she levered herself to get a look, and found the creature from the day before asleep beside her. She looked at him thoughtfully as her nose flared and took his scent into her lungs. Tayla realized he was the one responsible for making her unconscious. Her eyes narrowed slightly as bits and pieces of the bizarre dreams flashed across her mind.
Moving slowly again, and just her arms, she quickly unwound the cord she kept on her person. Once free, she moved swiftly and soon had him tied up. She then moved around the encampment making sure the fire was out, and gathered up his things. She had no idea what was important, but she would take it all. Soon she was ready to move and looked down at him.
While he slept the roles between them were reversing. He would be the held one this time. When his eyes finally opened he looked up to her and smiled. Refusing to panic he imaged that she would take him to her tribe or whatever she called her people. More excited than scared he was going to ask her to be careful with his things but judging by his past experience with this particular female he imaged that she would not understand him so he refrained.
He wondered if he could get up so he tried and after a few attempts he was sitting up. He could not or would not run due partly to his curiosity and the fact that the bindings would restrict such.
Tayla watched him wiggle until he was sitting upright. She didn’t return his smile, instead she gave him a slightly puzzled look. She smelled no fear on him, only excitement. She raised a brow for half a heartbeat before shouldering his stuff, then grabbing him by the front of his clothing, she hauled him up and threw him over her shoulder. He wasn’t much heavier than a small Narel. She shifted a few times to settle him and his things better and then trotted off to the west.
She traveled all morning with ease. At about mid-day she finally changed course to a more northerly direction. She knew a place that was secluded that she could examine this creature. She had thought to take him back home, but came to the realization if he wasn’t killed outright, that he’d be taken from her and locked away. She wasn’t about to have that happen.
She traveled for the time it took the Daystar to travel a quarter of the way through the last half of the day. There was what appeared to be a mountain range of sorts before them. When she reached the foot of it, she took a better grip on him and his stuff and then leaped. She landed upon a ledge about half her height up, and before coming completely at rest she sprang off that to another ledge. She continued this until they were half way up and at a cave entrance.
Entering the cave she finally deposited him half way towards the back. She then moved further back into the cave and seemed to rummage around for several long moments. Finally, she came back and picked him up again and took him to the back and laid him upon a pile of soft furs. His stuff sat on a shelf above his head.
Talya then moved back to midway in the cave and made a fire. She used this place often enough to keep a bed and firewood stocked. She even had some dried foodstuffs stored as well. She moved to a shelf at the foot of where he lay and found a cook pot and some of the stored food, then moved back to the fire. She quickly made some food and when it was finished, she settled down next to the creature. Getting him upright she started to feed him.
Zake was a little surprised when she picked him up without so much as a groan. She was clearly stronger than she looked but then again he knew nothing about her apart from the pictures he had taken of her. Now on her shoulder, he tried his best to relax while she ran with him and his belongings through the forest. Initially he would try to track where he was being taken but in the end he just gave up and closed his eyes. At one point he even fell asleep or the sun had shifted dramatically over a period of a few minutes. He decided to go for the former while the landscape around him shifted to a rockier environment. Feeling a little dizzy when she took him by the foot and leaped to an eventual cave entrance, he collected himself and tried a smile.
Now inside the cave he would look to her while she rummaged at the back. He did not feel as if he wanted to leave and even if he did he would not be able to get out of the bindings in time; he was sure of that. So instead he relaxed awaiting her return; assuming that she would return. When she did come back he smiled with relief when she picked him up and lay him down on what felt like soft furs. He was going to say that he had more food to add to her stew that she was making but considering she either did not understand him or refused to answer him when they were in the forest he remained silent for now. When there was a suitable gap in the feeding he would say “thank you” in the hope that she would at least understand that he was grateful.
Sensing that he was getting full, she slowed at feeding him. When he spoke she cocked her head and looked at him quizzically. While she didn’t understand the words, the tone gave her an idea of what he might be trying to say. Once he indicated he was full, she finished off the bowl and set it aside. She then climbed over him to feel along the back walls. Finding what she wanted with relief, she tugged him towards herself, then sat across his hips, straddling his body.
She pulled him to an upright position so that he was against her and held him with her chin on his shoulder and untied his hands. Pushing him back down, she tied his hands in front of him and then raised them up over his head and tied him off to a protrusion of rock on the wall. She was wary for a struggle or fight the whole time and was a bit surprised when one didn’t come.
She stared down at him for several long heart beats trying to puzzle out that mystery. Eventually her attention turned from that to him and his clothing. She started touching and investigating everything on him, and him as well. Running her fingers through his hair, and poking here and there on his upper body while she sat atop him. Eventually she worked the gun holsters off him and the bandolier around his chest.
Examining the items closely, and sniffed them. They smelled horrible and she tossed them aside with a disgusted look. She quickly figured out how to get the scarf off his neck, and even how to unbuckle and get his belt off. She then sat back and studied the rest of his clothing. Now how to remove it without untying him.
Sure that she did not understand his gesture he would remain confident that she would at least not be insulted. Thankfully she was not and would soon stop feeding him. He raised an eyebrow when she sat across him after tugging him into position. He had to admit that he kind of like her this close to him. With his hands free, he commented, forgetting that she would most likely not understand him. “You don’t need to tie me up. I won’t run.” Such words would not stop her from retying his hands in front of him this time before attaching the restraints to a rock.
He would not struggle since he still felt safe in her presence. He would not say another word while she touched and poked him and even when she started to remove his equipment he just let her learn what she must from him. After all he had done the same to her, even if she was not as yet aware of it. Now with only his shirt, pants and boots remaining he would look to her searchingly. What was she thinking?
Giving a quiet sigh, Tayla moved off her specimen and moved to clean up from dinner. She added some more wood to the fire and took the dishes out. Moving down the cliff easily, she found the stream close by and washed them. She refilled the water bottles she had also brought and headed back.
Re-entering the cave she set the dishes on the shelf. She placed the water bottles near the bed. She checked the fire and banked it for the night. Returning to the bedding, she laid down next to her creature and curled up. She fell quickly to sleep. She would work out how to finish examining him in the morning. She already had an idea.
He considered that perhaps he should not have stared at her while she began to undress him because she would sigh and remove herself from his lap. He would watch her trying to learn her behaviour while she cleaned up around him. While she was gone, he thought for a second that she was going to leave him here. However, before he even considered trying to untie his bindings she returned which made him smile. She had probably gone to wash up or something like that.
Not sure what he should do or say he remained silent and did not move; even when she snuggled up against him to rest. In a few moments she was asleep so he tried to do that same after closing his eyes. Within minutes he had joined her.
Tayla woke with the Daystar. She was quickly up and restarted the fire. Before long she had things together to start breakfast. She looked over at her creature and studied him thoughtfully. She usually needed to release water from the night before when she woke, like now. She wondered if he would need to do the same. Figuring it would be better to give him the opportunity now, she went over and worked his bonds until she had them retied to make it easier to transport him.
Seeing him awake when she was finished, she lifted him up and went out of the cave. With agile and quick hops, she was soon down the face and on level ground. She moved them off a short distance into the trees. She settled him down and made motions for him to release his water. She then moved a short ways off and squatted and did so herself.
Once they’d both finished their morning business, she gathered him up again and went back to the cave. Once back inside, she retied him in the bed and got busy making breakfast. Once it finished cooking, she put a few extra herbs into his bowl before adding the meal to it. She mixed it well. Then went over and started feeding him.
He would awaken upon feeling her lessen his bonds. He had stirred a little when she had gotten up and now being carried once again he wondered what she had planned for him. He did not completely understand her gesture to pee but when he saw her relieving herself he pulled out his cock and urinated in the direction of one of the nearby trees. His eyes remained fixed away from her while she did her business only to move back to her when she moved to him. He shook his cock a little and quickly put it away before being picked back up again and taken back to the cave.
Now back in the cave, he watched her busy herself to make food. He thought he might have seen her add something to his food but was not sure if she had done the same to her food so he did not question such. Besides they still did not understand a word they were saying to one another and he was restrained so he could not refuse the food even if he wanted too. Well she had been considerate enough to allow him to not piss his pants so why would she poison him. In the end he decided that she must have put the herbs into her food too and he must have just missed it. He would open his mouth willingly upon seeing that she was going to feed him. He would soon feel light headed and he would shake his head to try and clear his vision to no effect.
She watched him closely as the herb took effect. As soon as he was back asleep, she waited a few more heartbeats before moving quickly. She untied him first and then stripped him of every bit and piece of anything on his person. Once she had him in nothing but his skin, she quickly tied him back up.
She took his bowl and left the cave. Once at the stream, she quickly dumped and washed it thoroughly before returning to the cave. Once back, she filled her own bowl and ate while poking through the stuff she’d removed off him. Occasionally she would cast glances his way and look at him thoughtfully. Finally finished with her food, and tired of going through his things without a clue to most of it, she rose and settled next to him on the furs. She looked him over from head to toe. A bit worried he hadn’t woken yet, she cautiously reached and gently grazed her fingertips across his belly.
He had not felt her remove his clothes and belonging and he had not seen her look through them and then eat her food. He would not wake or in any way become aroused until she touched his stomach with her fingertips, leaving pinkish red markings upon his skin. When he was unconscious his body had not reacted to her touch but now even with his eyes still closed his cock thickened upon awakening. This would give away that he was at least no longer asleep.
While his cock twitched and stiffened his eyes eventually opened and he remained calm even when he realized that he was very much naked. He was going to ask what she had done with his clothes but he could see them just a few yards from them both. His eyes searched her for understanding of his situation. He could understand why she had striped him but why was she touching him?
Seeing him wake, a look of relief flashed across Tayla’s face. Though she had moderated and lessened the dose for him. She still could have easily poisoned him. She did note how his body reacted to her touch and she quirked a brow at his rising member. Her gaze rose and met his searching one with a thoughtful one of her own.
Now, what had been just concern for his wellbeing turned into curiosity. She had started to withdraw her hand upon his waking, but now she brought it back and lightly touched him once more, higher up, on his chest. Her eyes darted everywhere as she took in his reaction to her latest touch. The thought had never crossed her mind that he might react so to her touch.
He would smile upon her touch and look to her when she withdrew. Upon the return of her hand he sighed when she touched his chest. There was something about her that made him trust her completely. Yes he was still restrained but he felt as if she would not hurt him. Within a few more seconds he wanted to move his hand to hers but he could not due to the restraints.
His cock grew upon her touch and when he looked to her he welcomed her touch. He smiled warmly to her while she touched his chest. “Thank you” he said softly with the hope that she would understand that he was grateful to her and how she had been with him. Yes he was restrained but she had not beaten him and had respected his dignity by feeding him and allowing him to relieve himself of waste.
Tayla noted his various reactions to her touch. She sat back slightly and got a slightly glazed look to her eyes as she got lost in both thought and assimilating the information she had so far on this strange creature. He looked almost identical to her own people, with the exception of his ears being docked. She started and came back from her thoughts when he spoke. She cocked her head at his soft words and expression.
Suddenly she moved quickly and sat straddled across his chest. Her weight didn’t quite settle on him. Gently, her hands ran through his hair and came down to lightly feel his ears. She shifted slightly to take a closer look at them, first one then the other. Apparently, they weren’t docked, but naturally that way. Softly her fingers ran lightly and repeatedly over his face. Almost like a blind person trying to “see” what he looked like. Finally she settled back once more, this time settled more on his stomach, though her full weight still didn’t rest on him. She looked him in the eyes once more and seemed to be trying to know him that way.
Her thoughts drifted to her people and a slight frown marred her features as her eyes once more glazed. They would take him and if they didn’t kill him out right and then cut him apart, then they would lock him away and do many cruel things to see how he worked. A low growl suddenly emerged from her vibrating her whole body. They couldn’t have him. Any others that might be with him, but not this one, he was hers. Suddenly her gaze cleared and the look on her face said quite plainly that she now thought of him as belonging to her. No need of a shared language for that look.
Clearly his words had been heard but not understood, but perhaps the tone had not. They would have to communicate with actions for now and the language barrier would have to be broken down later. He caught his breath when she moved quickly to rest on his chest. She had to be supporting her own weight since her leg muscles were flexed and he could still breathe with ease. His eyes closed when she gently moved her hands through his hair as if studying him only to move her attention to his ears and then his face. When she had finished and moved to his stomach he took a deep breath while she looked into his eyes for a good while. He could only imagine what she was thinking while he looked into her eyes. In the end he picked up from the way she looked at him that perhaps she was his protector or perhaps even his owner. Could it be that he now belonged to her like some sort of pet? He smiled to her and nodded as if showing that he understood or at least he thought he did.
Upon sending that information to her, he pulled gently at his bindings. “Please untie me or at least my hands as I want to touch you.” He would look to his hands with the hope that she would make sense of his gesture and need.
She blinked as her new possession suddenly nodded at her as if he had heard her thoughts. Her head cocked and her eyes narrowed slightly. Could it be possible he was a Telepath? While rare among the L’Lodias, it wasn’t unheard of, especially in her Family Line. Though it was usually between Mates that were truly Bonded or Mother and Younglings. Far as Tayla knew, she wasn’t a Telepath, of course, she’d never had reason to test if she was or not either.
She was pulled from her musings by his voice. She looked at him and then watched his actions. Again she frowned slightly. She understood what he was wanting, his hands free. And while she had no fear of him in the least, she wasn’t ready to have him freely moving yet. With an apologetic look, she gave a slight shake of her head. She then moved and went about cleaning up the breakfast utensils.
Finally done with the mundane, she came and settled once more next to him. Sitting with one leg up and the other curled around it, she faced him and looked at him thoughtfully again. Time to see if they could figure out a way to communicate. Pointing to herself she spoke. “Tayla.” She pointed at him and cocked her head with a questioning expression.
Without realizing it he had tapped into her wishes due to the bond building between them. Somehow, this bond had unlocked an ability, long since dormant within his race, that could pick up elements from those closest. Still unaware of this in time it would help them to communicate until a verbal solution presented itself. For now his hands would not be released but he could see from her apologetic look and the shake of her head that perhaps she wanted too. He had smiled to her when she had made it clear that he would remain restrained ”That’s alright .” His eyes remained upon her while she cleaned up the breakfast and then settled next to him.
He imaged that she was telling him her name when she pointed to herself. Another smile formed on his mouth while he watched her fingers point to him. “Zake” he said hoping that she would see that was his name. He assumed that Tayla was hers. “Hello Tayla. My name is Zake.” He repeated before seeing what else they could learn from one another. He tried his best to convey that he was okay with being at her mercy.
Tayla’s brow quirked again at his string of words, but she seemed to ‘know’ it was some sort of greeting of his kind, perhaps upon meeting. She assumed this since she picked out her name and his in there, and she returned one of her own. “Ze-ach. Vendui’, Ze-ach, Usstan tlun Tayla. (Zake. Greetings, Zake, I am Tayla.)” She pointed at him again as she said his name.
She then waved her hand up and down herself. “L’Lodias.” Waving her hand over him, she cocked her head again. Something was slowly coming to wake within Tayla’s mind. An ability not needed since she tended to run alone and didn’t group hunt. It stretched languidly and sleepily. Unknown to both Tayla and Zake, it sent out an invisible, searching tendril.
Mostly unaware of what had awoken Zake nodded in relative understanding of the words she spoke. He was sure that she was greeting him and that she was either part of a tribe called the L’Lodias or that was her race. Without saying a word he let his mind go free and wished what he wanted to say in his mind while speaking. He wished to convey how grateful to her to begin with. ‘Irayo, Tayla’ (Thank you, Tayla) he thought while speaking about his race.
He would have pointed to himself but with such he informed her of his while trying to use some of the words she had used just moments before. “Usstan tlun Human (I am Human)”. With the hope that he had not offended her due to him misunderstanding what she had said he smiled to her and repeated the statement.
Tayla blinked at how quickly he caught on to and used the few words she had. She gave a grin as she tried to repeat his word. “Oo-man.”
Before she could try another word that lazy, questing tendril found something and struck with quickness. It delved and wrapped and insinuated itself around and within Zake’s mind. Her eyes widened in shock before they squeezed shut. She grasped her head with a small yelp of surprise and fell over, her head landing on the soft part of his stomach. Her breathing became a bit ragged as her mind tried to assimilate and process the flood of images and sound/words that were so foreign to her.
He smiled to her. It would appear that she was trying to communicate with him with as much keenness as himself. When it struck him, his eyes closed and his mouth opened in shock as the information overload he felt within his mind. He refused to open his eyes trying to limit the stimuli within his place of captivity. It would take him an indeterminate amount of time to realize that he could hear what Talya was thinking and in this early stage he could hear an echo of his own thoughts as they bounced back from her mind into his. He had now even felt her drop onto his naked torso as his body had not registered such an action as yet. By now his breathing was deep and he could hear that Talya’s was too.
This heighten arousal was beyond anything he had ever experienced before. ‘What could I tell her of myself? Where should I start? Should I tell her that I found her attractive in a way that I had never felt before? That he could not control how he felt about her. No not yet.’ All questions that he had not realized that he had sent to her but upon comprehending such a few moments later, he opened his eyes and smiled to her trying to clear his mind and finding it almost impossible. He did not seem at all concerned that her head was upon his torso. He hoped however that she was not hurt.
By now his breathing had returned to normal, so he tried to focus his thoughts so he could speak through his mind once again. ‘Please untie me. I will not try to escape. Where would I go?’ He understood that perhaps she might not get all that he had sent her, given that his mind was full of her thoughts bouncing this way and that, so why should hers be any different, but he wanted her to know that he would not escape.
Tayla kept her eyes squeezed shut as so much information flooded her mind. The Hunter within her rose at first thinking an attack, but she was quick to realize that was not the case here. The Scout within her stepped up and started processing and filtering the information that bounced and echoed around her head. Her own and Zake’s. The Scout quickly noted the similarities between their species. His first focused thoughts hit her like a punch in the gut, and her body reacted in a way she’d never had it react with a male. Her eyes flew open and met his. Her hand dropped from her head and landed lightly on his chest, only to softly glide along the contours. Something else awoke in Tayla that she’d been trying hard to bury and ignore since reaching maturity and breeding ability.
Her people were not shy about anything really. After all, how will the young know anything if they don’t witness it? This even included mating. Tayla had observed many ways and forms of mating amongst her people all her growing up. Now all that information rose to the forefront and blocked out any other thoughts. The Scout quietly rummaged around in Zake’s mind and found what was needed to make this a successful coupling. Tayla moved with the Hunter’s grace she possessed. As she rose and worked her way up from Zake’s middle, her clothes managed to come off as well, and soon she was straddling his hips. She looked deep into his eyes as her body started to softly rub against his. Her eyes blazed with an urgent and powerful need before her head dropped and captured his lips with her own.
He watched as she finally opened her eyes and began to caress his chest. Had she heard his plea, in part it would seem so. Her clothes were removed and his eyes took in her form once again. Of course he had seen her naked before but he would try to suppose that for now and enjoy the vision before him. How successful he had been with such a suppression would become clear in a moment, he was sure of it. Now with her straddling him, his cock drew dangerously close to insertion into her sex, while she rubbed gently up and down his groin area. His eyes now looking deep into hers he welcomed her kiss, a kiss so sweet he would wish that such an action would never end. His eyes closed again whilst enjoying the sensation, he projected how he felt with the hope that she would learn how much he liked her.
His cock engorged with blood during such affections and he so wanted to feel her touch upon it. He wanted to touch her too but with his hands tied all he could do was kiss her. In the end he focused his lust for the moment into kissing her while projecting his need to be free from the restraints once again. He would moan with great joy upon feeling her body touching his.
Tayla’s head jerked up as she caught a faint understanding that he’d seen her naked form before. She gazed at him for long moments as this processed, her body never stopped moving against his. She would come dangerously close to impaling herself upon his stiffened member. Several times the tip would start to enter, to only be pulled back out. She felt his arousal and enjoyment of their bare bodies touching. She also felt his desire to be free. A slow smile formed and her own thoughts were projected to his. He had taken advantage of her at some point and stripped her naked, now he would pay for such impatience and continue to stay tied.
The Scout hunted around and found what she wanted. Tayla quickly raised her body up so that it no longer touched Zake’s and she dropped her head again and nuzzled his chin up and lightly nipped his throat. She then sent trails nipping and licking down and across his chest, making short stops to tease his nipples. The she would continue moving down him, keeping her body above his and not touching. Her lips, teeth and tongue dancing along his belly until her face was close to his mating member.
He tried not to react when she jerked her head but he sensed that his attempted to keep his secret from her had not worked. What would she do in reaction to this he was sure to find out soon? However, he would be teased a little more when she continued to rub up against him. He even felt the tip of his cock enter her several times and upon feeling this he moaned expecting her to continue with the action and take him. When she gave him a glimpse of what she was going to do to repay his earlier indiscretion just before she rose up, he was going to frown but in truth he liked being teased and tied up. So instead he smiled warmly to her and watched her move to nip his neck.
While she did this and moved over his torso and chest, he sent how he felt from her teasing through his mind. He wanted this and it was driving his crazy with lust for her. He tensed when she focused upon his nipples and seemed to hold his breath when she moved down to his groin after kissing, biting and licking his lower torso. What he would like to do to her would have to wait it would seem and once free he would give her exactly what he thought she needed and with hope she would like it. For now he looked to her while she continued to lick and nibble at him until she came close to his cock. Taking a deep breath after realizing that he had not breathed for a while he watched her consider her next move. ‘I want you’ he projected. ‘I want to hear you cum’ he added before sending what he imaged they would look like while mating.
Before Tayla could make a move a flood of images hit her mind of what he wanted. It temporarily distracted her as her body heated up with need. Her eyes briefly closed as she let out a quiet moan. Her nipples tightened and her scent suddenly filled the cave with her desire. She started breathing quite heavily and it was several moments before she could move again.
Suddenly the Scout found a memory that was both shocking and fascinating, and it was something she had never seen done amongst her people. With a quick move and twist she had herself repositioned. Her face was still down at his stiffened member, but now her own moist and hot opening hovered just barely above his lips. Part of her studying the image from all angles, she slowly lowered her head and took his cock into her mouth. She let her tongue swirl around the tip for several long moments before she let the rest of it slide further in.
His head was filled with possibilities but he was unable to do anything except see where Tayla’s need would take them. So swift she was that within a blink of an eye her mouth was within tasting distance of his cock and her thick sweet scent had filled the cave. He wanted her and upon the touch of her tongue upon his cock he sighed moments before seeing her move her sex to his mouth. With only his tongue to use he would do such. So sweet was her taste upon the first lick that his need for her would further enflame with his own desire. He would send her deep and desirable images of how he would have her if she’d only untied him if not then he sent further images to her of his cock exploring her tight and moist depths. He would sigh again when she started to take his cock inside her mouth.
Upon feeling her tongue swirl he shuddered in excitement. He wanted to hear her scream out his name upon their claiming of one another. He lend forward so that his tongue could slide inside her sex, as if simulating how his cock might feel when finally allowed to do so. He hummed sending such vibrations through her body and then smiled before kissing her sex. He would then stick his tongue in as deep as it would go before licking around her soft lips drinking her in.
His images flooded her mind, intensifying her excitement. Almost she gave in and untied him, but lost that thought as his tongue suddenly touched her heated sex. A strange sound vibrated her throat and the head of his cock deep inside her mouth. As he continued to use his tongue on her in fascinating and pleasurable ways she was forced to swallow a few times. More molten liquid oozed from her opening and her body shuddered slightly. Her hips shifted bringing her sex even closer to his lips and tongue, wanting more. She recalled the images and slowly slid her head back up along his shaft while her hand reached out and lightly caressed the sac that hung below his member. Once she had just the tip in her mouth, she started to suck on it, lightly at first but with ever increasing pressure. Her head slid up and down his cock as his tongue danced among her folds, setting a fire in her belly the likes that she had never known.
Tayla had never experienced anything like what she was experiencing now. She knew from her lessons and observations that her people had never done something like this. What before was just a possessiveness over something new that she wasn’t going to allow to be taken from her, became fiercer. He was hers and she would kill anyone who tried to take him from her, be they his people or hers. These thoughts were more than clear to Zake, he belonged to her in more ways than her just having him tied up and her helpless prisoner at the moment.
The need to claim him became over powering on the heels of those thoughts and she quickly disengaged herself from him. She turned once more until she was hovering over him face to face, his cock lightly touching her wet, velvety soft opening. The need and possessiveness clear in her eyes, and something else, deeper, darker, irreversible. Suddenly a twitch and a jerk of her hips and he was seated deep within her almost too tight walls. Her head fell back and a cry escaped her at the impalement. Her head came back forward as her hips started rocking and thrusting, rising up and down. Her eyes blazed as their scents mingled, joined, became one. She had claimed him, he was now her mate, and she his. Any who came upon them would know this now, their scents one for as long as both of them lived. Zake would understand this from the images that came from her fevered mind.
He moaned upon her receiving his cock deeper into her mouth while he worked her sex with his limitless skills. Satisfying her was all he could think about and it would seem that she had the same idea for him. It was at that point that she moved closer to his mouth so that he could lick her more intently. He groined when she cupped his balls, taking his cock deeper into her mouth. He wanted to cum but he would fight such a need until he was inside her sex. He felt as if he must as if it was his destiny to do so. They were one now both in body and in soul. So forged for all time were they now that if one died the other was certain to follow.
While he thought on this she moved again and looked to him while her sex hovered tentatively touching the tip of his cock. Again he felt like bursting his seed into her at that moment but he took a deep breath and pushed such thoughts away. Without warning or even a pause he was deep inside her. He could feel all of her sex; the tightness, the wetness and the soft thick walls within. The images coming from his mate were understood. He was locked in an emotional bond with her for all time and he could do nothing, nor did he want too, to stop it. If this was love, he liked it, even if the pain in his heart from the pounding within was a little uncomfortable. She was his and he was hers and for that he would be forever with her. He roared on occasion and such a noise would echo through the cavern and out into the forest depths. She would take him and he her and he wanted nothing but that to occur. He tightened his buttocks to push his shaft in that little bit more with each and every thrust. No longer did he have the urge to cum but cum he would once she was spent. For now, however, he just enjoyed the connection they had as it became stronger as the seconds ticked by.
The fire in her belly turned to and intense tightening need as his own added efforts to their coupling made her go into a high frenzy. Each thrust and grind of her hips upon his cock came harder and faster. Her breathing was coming in panted gasps as a tension within her built, pushing her to an edge. What kind of edge she didn’t know, but she wanted it, and wanted it now.
Her moves became more frantic and desperate. And in truth, should have been painful with the force with which she rode him. Suddenly her body tightened ever so slightly. Her nipples tightened into tight puckered buds as her body went into convulsive shutters, forcing her pelvic to grind against his and keep her orgasm going. “ZE-ACH!” His name echoed and rebounded around the cave, her pleasure clear to hear.
His name echoed with his roar when she came; giving him instruction to release his seed inside of her. Pulse after pulse burst forth into her sex until finally he was spent and his body began to relax with his cock very much within her. Not as profound but very much evident, his breathing echoed hers. The connection with Tayla was now sealed for all time as the last of the connections of their minds was forged upon their combined release. Her thoughts to him were no longer a jumbled mess of feelings and emotions. He could hear her clearly now and he imaged the same could be true for her.
‘I love you’ he shared through his mind and he would smile when sharing such. ‘I cannot live without you my love’ he added knowing that she already knew that. He kissed her tenderly about the mouth and then gently upon her tight nipples, looking into her eyes the whole time. Now back at her mouth he would kiss her again while the last of his seed leaked from his cock.
She heard his words, understood them, the language barrier was gone between them. Her eyes blazed briefly as he kissed her, and then moved down to her hard nipples, setting off the need for more mating in her. Tayla smiled at Zake. “You are mine. I am yours. We belong together, no one can take us from each other. Not your people, not mine.” As she ‘spoke’ to him, she had reached up and untied his hands.
Her hands slowly slid down his arms after untying him until they came to his shoulders and moved to cup his face. She leaned in and kissed him. “I love you, strangely enough. Now mate with me again.” Her hips made slow, lazy circles as her slick walls tightened around his cock. “I have never witnessed such a mating, and I want more.” Her hands slid up the sides of his face and tangled in his hair. She gave a gentle but insistent tug pulling his head back slightly and lightly nipped his jaw and down his throat.
Clearly within his mind her words came back. ‘Yes we are one. I love you.’ He smiled was returned with one of his own. He felt his hands becoming free and upon feeling such he moved them to the front and smiled again. She spoke to him of her love and the need to mate with him once more. With her, he was already ready to do just that. ‘Thank you. Now let me repay your gesture’ he added in response to having his hands freed. ‘More you want then more you will have my love.’ He moaned deeply upon feeling her begin to grind against his cock.
Such deep emotion would be sent to her in as flood after flood of desire for her filled his body and mind. With his hands now free he moved them to her skin and began to caress her waist and then her chest. While she nipped at his neck, with his head back, he gently massaged her perfect breasts focusing upon the nipples mostly. In time such hands would slid behind her and cup her buttocks to assist her in sliding up and down his cock with more enthused pace. His upper arms were tense now showing the definition within them. He felt as if he could make love to her forever and in truth he was most likely not far from the truth. Something had sealed them as one for all time and that something gave them both new strength to reveal to most committed of couples.
Tayla groaned as his desire crashed upon her psyche. Feeling his hands upon her body fueled her own need and desire to new heights. His words made her growl low and her hips moved easily with his added help. Pressing her body full against his, she gave a strange twist and before he knew it she lay under him. She smiled up at Zake. “Now it is your turn.” Her eyes were aglow with her need and desire, and now her hips rolled up to meet his thrusts deep within her. Her legs came up and wrapped around his hips, locking them together.
She moved easily with him, yet made no moves to lead this go around. She waited excitedly to see what he would do. A small part of her realized, he was the reason she had so often avoided any attempts of mating by her own people. None of them even seemed as right as he felt. This was the mate meant for her, and she was happy and content finally.
With her now beneath him, he smiled and nodded in understanding. He sighed and moaned heavily when it was his turn to take control. Still inside her he quickly moved forward so that her legs slipped up straight against his chest so that her feet were by his head and her buttocks became slightly elevated. He would then rock, slowly to being with, and he would feel every contour upon his cock of her moist and hot walls. The more he lent towards the closer her knees moved to her chest and her feet to her own head. He knew that she was flexible enough to do this since she had already shown him what she was capable of.
Now deep inside her, he continued to rock back and forth in quick heated thrusts and on occasion he would be able to kiss her being sure to move up a little to allow her to breathe when needed. So in need to be with her and to ensure that she would be completely satisfied, he soon moved back a little to allow her legs to part so that he could take her in a more tradition position. Such a position was only temporary when he placed his hands upon her knees and began to straighten her legs horizontally with her body. With each thrust he would part her legs until finally they formed a T shape to her torso. There he would stop and continue to make love to her now that her sex was as wide as it could possibly be. So good it felt to be as deep as he could possibly be within his mate and soon enough he was panting with a passion he could not have imaged.
Tayla’s eyes widened as Zake pretty much slowly folded her in half. But it wasn’t long before her eyes became hooded and deep moans emerged from between her lips. Her pussy made spasmodic moves as he rocked against her. She eagerly met the brief kisses he gave. Her breathing became a bit ragged, not from lack of air the position he had put her in, but due to the slowly building tension he was creating inside her once more.
A slight sound of disappointment escaped her as he moved away bring her legs back to a more normal positioning and the tension eased up some. But as he grabbed her knees and started making her legs fold away from their bodies, she once more moaned in pleasure. With each stroke of his rod inside her velvety canal, she gave a cry of pleasure. Soon her breathing was coming in gasps and her body arched. Her nipples were so tight they were actually painful, but she didn’t notice as once more he took her to that place of bliss yet again, and her body bucked under his with each spasm that shot through her. A long drawn out cry of pleasure coming from her. “Oh yes Zake! Yes!” Her thoughts clear to him through their bond. Then something else came through their bond as well. He felt her orgasm as she felt it, felt himself sliding in and out of her tight hole, felt it wrap and contract around him with each pulse of her release.
He had felt and heard the disappointment when he had moved her into the more traditional position. Had that been why he had changed his tact or had he had no intention of remaining in that position for long, even he was not sure. Her moan of pleasure when he spread her legs so that she made a T shape he saw her nipples harden assuring him that she liked this new position; that and the fact that he felt it within his mind that she did too. His hands slipped to her ankles as he lent towards her, making her legs open even more while her thigh muscles supported his upper body weight.
When she orgasmed his body picked it up and sent such vivid images to his mind making him roar with delight. Her words to his mind were responded too while the first of his gift to her burst forth into her sex ’I love you’ Like he had experienced how she had felt upon orgasming, she too would have such sent to her body and mind when he came too; the tightness of his balls the moment before release, the pressure that would build within his shaft and the final feeling of release when the pressure of his seed moved up within his cock and squirted into her sex. When spent he released her ankles and slowly moved towards her to kiss her lips with his own. His passion for was still very much evident as was the hardness in his cock.
Tayla’s eyes widened as she felt his release, and it mingled with her own. Nothing in her life even came close to preparing her for such an experience. A slow loving smile grew on her lips just before he reached her and kissed her. “I love you.” She wrapped her arms around him and deepened the kiss.
Finally breaking the kiss, she smiles up at him. “There is so much I have to show you. I don’t even know where to start. Well… Survival might be a good place, but still…” She wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him closer to her. She rotated her hips in slow lazy circles. “Maybe not just right yet though. There’s plenty of time for such I suppose.” She grinned up at him.
He could not remember the last time he felt as live as he did now. She loved him too; he had heard it from her mind. He would smile in response to her doing the same and enjoy the kiss he shared with her. He did not want this feeling to end and the eternal bond they now had would ensure that it never did. When she rotated her hips while sharing her thoughts with him, he became more aroused and shared such with his beloved.
His constant need to make love to her did not stop him from listening to her words. ’I look forward to you showing me all of what you wish. Start wherever you want. I am yours for all time so I am in no rush. I have your back and always will do so.’ He then held her in his arms and enjoyed the hip rotations while he gently thrust his cock in and out of her sex.
“Mmm. There are so many dangers here you should know about. I don’t want to lose you now that I found you.” her hips continued their slow circling as he softly thrust into her. A slow tension was deliciously building once more and she liked it. A look of concern briefly crossed her face. “I need to show you what is edible and what is not. What will kill you and what is ok.” She gave a soft sigh of pleasure and her hips rotated a bit faster. The tension was building and she couldn’t help speed it along as delightful as this slow love making was.
’Nor I you, my love. I feel as if all of me has merged with all of you and we are forever connected. To lose you now would destroy me so I will listen and listen well to what you tell me and your warnings.’ He was already prepared to make love to her once more and in all truthfulness being inside her like this felt natural to him as anything else, he imaged, would feel strange and incomplete. ’Do not be concerned for me. I will learn fast and pay attention, I promise, my love.’ He moaned as the arousal built in him and this was magnified when she increased the speed of the love making.
Knowing by now that they could still ‘talk’ while their mouths were occupied, he kissed her briefly only to kiss her again for much longer time. Soon his tongue would enter her mouth and join hers within. His thrusts of his cock would quicken and soon enough he was breathing heavily. ’I love you and always will’ he sent to her as if was the first time of telling her. ’So tell me of some of the dangers or do you think it is better to show me?’
Images filled his mind suddenly of strange creatures, some vaguely familiar, others not so much. “These are fairly harmless, unless cornered or hurt. Then they can be vicious as only trapped or dying creatures can be.” Other images flooded his mind. Most wild in appearance, one stood out though as a small ball of fur that could fit in the palm of his hand. “These however can be deadly, by actions, claw or fang, especially that last one. Its fur is highly toxic and there is no cure for it found.”
Through the whole sharing she continued to kiss him. Her tongue quickly learned the dance his was teaching. Her hips continued to slowly increase their pace. The tension within her was building ever so slightly quicker with each increase until finally her body bucked under his as another orgasm hit her. A muffled cry came from deep within her to be released into their kiss.
The images brought to his mind might not have made sense before the mating but after he understood everything. The images of the creatures were unfamiliar but they would be burned into his soul as would her words of caution. He kissed her continually and showed that he understood with a simply ’thank you’. Soon enough his mind filled, once again, with how he felt while they mated continuously. When she came, his excitement within built fast and within seconds he too orgasmed once again. Like before it was heavy and the kiss muffled his deep moan only a moment after it had muffled her cry.
He held her for a moment or perhaps many minutes. Time seemed nothing to him right now and he wondered if it ever would or indeed if it would ever be the same again. He stopped kissing her to look at her; his eyes to her eyes, his mind to her mind.
She lay below him contented for now. When he released the kiss and looked at her, she gave him a soft smile. “You are welcome.” She was more than happy to lay there with him and rest. They would need to eat soon enough and for now, she was happy to be here with him, happy that her mate was found, even if he was a different species. What mattered is they were together. A stray thought wandered through her mind and was easily picked up by him, if their children would have her pointed ears or his round ones.
“It is good that we have found each other. But why are you here? What brought you here?” The urge to mate over, now she was curious to find out the things she wanted to know, but couldn’t ask before since they hadn’t a common language. “And what is the strange attire you wear and carry. The… clothes… will not do here. You will quickly get too hot.” Her hand came up and lightly caressed his back. “Though, personally, I prefer how you are dressed now.” A grin blossomed on her lips at that last comment.
He smiled with a hint of amusement upon picking up her ear thought. He jokingly sent back an image of a child with their left ear pointy and their right rounded until finally changing it to a child with pointed but not as pronounced as his mate’s.
He would show a hint of uncertainty as to why he had been sent here with his team of explorers and not try to hide it. ’From my understanding my team has been sent to explore this sector of the planet. I heard a rumour of possible habitats to be used for or even resources but upon seeing that this area is clearly not devoid of peoples i would imagine that my people will look elsewhere.’ He would then smile back to her upon seeing her grin. While he enjoy the touch of her fingers upon his back, his fingers would mirror hers upon her back. ’I will be happy for you to assist me in redesigning my outfit to suit the environment or as you say I could always remain naked as long as you do.” He already liked her teasing manner and hoped that she would like his too. It would be then that his tummy would rumble upon the thought of food.
Her eyes popped at the images of their children he sent, but she was laughing. “Who knows? You may be more accurate than you think on that.” Tayla still chuckled as he answered her questions. Finally sobering as the implications hit. “Hmm. Well, this world is big. Some of your people could set up a few villages here and there. As you and I have just proven, it is possible for our Peoples to mate. Young though will be the deciding factor in the end if it would be wise to mate together.”
She looked thoughtful as he spoke of her designing an outfit for him, then she chuckled. “Perhaps you should see what goes for dress first, before you decide what you’ll want to wear. Some of it can be… quite revealing.” She grinned at him, the look on her face clearly saying that she wouldn’t mind such on him. She heard his stomach rumble and frowned. “Hungry? Shall I make us something to eat?”
He would join in with the laughter upon hearing her react to his little joke. ’Yes perhaps I might be. We will have to wait and see when you give birth and as we watch the baby grow into childhood.’ Her thoughts on settlements made him cease laughing so that he could focus better on what she was telling him. ’Yes they could and it is my hope that by doing so they will not affect your chances of survival while they do that. I am sure they will not as you have just said this world is big.’ His thoughts moved to that of the repercussions of them having a child before sharing such with his mate. ’Yes we have proven that and it is my hope that we will continue to do so for the rest of my life.’ He would give her a cheeky grin before adding ’I hope for our sake that it is wise as I would not want any harm to come to you.’
His mood would lighten when she spoke of the outfits. He would once again smile to her upon seeing her grin and nod upon her asking if he was hungry. ’Yes but I am sure that I can help you now that my hands are free. As for the outfits, I will be happy to wear whatever is befitting. After all I sense that you would like it.’
Tayla gave a slight shrug to his concerns over her birthing young. “I will know in a day or two if your seed has caught. In the meantime, we can use the time to teach you of this world, and get you acclimated.” She grinned up at him slyly. “And work on making sure your seed catches as well.” For some reason, she had no doubts that his seed would. There was a feeling of the Universe working on something to make it happen.
She wiggled out from under him and sat up. “Very well, let us make something to eat then.” She rose up and went for the supplies on the self above. “We will need to replace thing before we leave. It is wise to always have a well-stocked bolt hole, several actually, for emergencies.” She moved over to the pit with the items in her arms and squatted to place them on the ground. She looked over at Zake with a smile as she started to put a meal together.
He nodded in understanding of her plan before chuckling a little at her remark about them ensuring that he seed had taken. ’Oh I totally agree. On all counts my love.’ He sensed that she believed it would and he thought so too. He was more than willing to let her feel that for sure.
He would rise to stand and follow Tayla to the pit. ’Yes show me how you cook and what you cook in these parts for I wish to cook for you as soon as I have learnt how to prepare the food from around here in a safe and appetizing way.’ He would smile back to her when she began to put the meal together. He would watch what she was doing like a hawk, making mental notes of what she was doing and how she was doing it. Understanding replaced confusion once he had seen that the items used looked not totally dissimilar to those found at home. ’So where would we find replacements to restock?’ While he worked with her, he had not even considered that either of them should redress. Already he felt comfortable in his skin and in all honestly thought nothing of covering himself up.
“Most things we’ll have to hunt and prepare to be stored. The herbs and things like that we can travel the forest floor for. Same with the wood for fires. We have many such places as these scattered through all our territory. Never know who might need some place safe to stay for a bit. Usually there’s enough stored to last a hand of days. If you need beyond that, you are in serious trouble, and usually people are out looking for you by then anyway.” She started dishing out the food and handed him his portion.
Tayla continued talking while they ate. “We can get a start right after we clean up after eating, both us and the meal utensils.” She grinned at him with a twinkle in her eye, more than cleaning up on her mind.
Taking in what she sent to his mind was becoming incredibly easy now. He wondered for a moment if they would ever use their mouths to talk ever again. Besides he had found much more interesting uses for his mouth recently. He smiled at airing such a thought. His eyes widened upon seeing what she had prepared for them both. ’it looks lovely’ he shared honestly.
With the first portion of food within his mouth, he would nod again at her suggestion that they make a start once they have eaten and cleaned up. ’Sounds like a plan to me, unless we get distracted by something else.’ He had obviously picked up on her hint of such. Even while eating he felt as if he wanted her again imagining he would never tire of the act.
Her twinkle turned into a full-fledged impish grin at his last thoughts. “Me either.” His wanting her even as they ate, flared her own desire for him up. Suddenly she stood and walked over to him. Gently she removed the plate from his hand, then managed to wiggle herself to be sitting on his lap, her knees coming to rest on either side of his ass. As she settled, she skillfully dumped his plate onto hers, and set his plate aside. She then picked up some food, and gently pressed it to his lips.
She had managed to somehow keep her actions hidden until she was firmly sitting on him. Her eyes glowed with mischief as her hips suddenly started to softly rock against him. “Shall we see how multi-talented we can be?” Her scent wafted up to mingle with the food smells right below his nose.
