Tears streamed down her face, and for a moment my hearts broke. Did she not want to marry me? It had sounded like that was her wish in the hallway just moments ago … Had she changed her mind?
“Oh, Q’on! Of course, I will!” She threw herself at me, almost knocking me over as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
My friends cheered, and J’meer honored us with the Xalanite tradition of pouring spicedgribbalover the two of us to bless the coming union. As he was the closest one to a priest here on the ship, I took great pride in his blessing. Amber, however, didn’t understand the tradition, so we had to explain it before she strangled J’meer.
The pending nuptials proved cause enough for celebration, and Hunir surprised me by warming up someb’raalcakes that he had in the ship’s galley. I hadn’t known, but it apparently was a common practice to keep the sweets on hand, meant to bring luck to a voyage.
Perhaps someone had hidden someb’raalon my ship before I left Xalan. My journey proved lucky in the end, after all.
After dinner, Amber and I went back to our temporary quarters on the ship to retire for the night. I surprised Amber by raising the panel that had hidden the large window from sight her first time here. We sat together in bed, watching the stars fly past as the ship flew towards Xalan. I held her close while I pointed out stars and constellations that she was unfamiliar with due to her Earth vantage point. She was the first human to see some of these stars, and certainly the first to see them from this angle.
She fell asleep in my arms with a smile on her face. I pulled the covers up and laid her down to sleep more comfortably before allowing myself to get situated for bed. Her silky dark hair cascaded down, falling across her eyes, and I took great joy in the feel of it on my fingers as I brushed it away.
I wanted to mate that night, to seal our bond, but she slept so peacefully that I couldn’t bear to disturb her. Besides, we’d have plenty of time for mating on Xalan.
I woke hours later with her lips on my cock, one slender hand around my uppern’ril, and the other stroking my seed-sack. When she released the suction to speak, I let out a whimper of disappointment.
“Morning, baby. I’m glad you’re awake; this is way more fun when you can take part, too.”
She took my cock back into her mouth with a sultry wink, and I moaned. The combined stimulation from her hands and her mouth was almost too much, and I shuddered as I came down her throat.
Amber licked her lips and wiped the corners of her mouth. “Mm, Q’on, that’s delicious.”
If I hadn’t already been hard again, that would have done it. “Amber, my love, if you wake me like that every day, I shall never want for anything else.”
“I mean, I could’ve woken you up by riding that hardn’rilof yours, but I thought this might be a gentler way to rise and shine.” She winked again and crawled up the bed to kiss me, stopping with her dripping pussy hovering over my cock.
I groaned against her mouth and lifted my hips, but she continued to tease me by moving out of reach. With one hand buried in her hair, I used the other to grab her hip and hold her in place. “Mine,” I growled as I thrusted again, this time finding my goal. Amber gasped, and her pussy clenched around me.
After some study of the human mating shows back on Earth, I knew that I was not limited to lying there in this position. While Amber bounced on my cock, I thrusted back into her. Her cries of “Oh, God!” and “Yes, Q’on, yes!” told me I was doing well, so I kept up the pace.
My cock knotted inside her, and I moaned as our bodies linked. She was so perfect, we fit so well, that I almost wished we never had to leave this bed.
Before she came, I gripped her hips and rolled her onto her back. I could apply more force from this angle, and it took the pressure of performance off Amber, though she continued to meet me pump for pump as I slammed into her. Tears formed at the corners of her eyes, and I would have been concerned had I not learned that humans could cry for joyous reasons as well as sad ones. I bent to kiss her, to taste myself on her tongue while we fucked.
She came apart so fucking beautifully. Her eyes rolled back in her head, her plump lips parted, and her back arched, pushing her full breasts into me. I stared down at her as she shattered around me, trying to burn the sight into my memory.
Finally, once I was certain she had been sated, I allowed myself to come as well. I bit into her tender skin, marking her once again as I stilled inside her.
“Holy fuck, Q’on!” She panted and licked her lips while I waited for my knot to recede.
“I am not a priest,” I said, “but I thank you for the compliment.”
Amber cast a sideways glance at me. “Are you making a joke?”
I grinned and rolled onto my back at her side, drawing her close. The stars from outside reflected in her dark eyes, and I contented myself with watching them there while she stared past me out the window.
“I can’t believe this is my life now,” she murmured. “Engaged to an alien, moving to another planet, an official envoy of Earth … It’s all so surreal.”
“I am glad it makes you happy.” I stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head.
She snuggled closer with a sigh. “It really does. I’m excited to see Xalan, to finally see everything you told me about, but at the same time it’s a little terrifying. What if the other Xalanites don’t like me? Or what if they don’t accept me as a diplomat? Unless you go back to work in the military, we won’t have a source of income otherwise.”
“The Xalan population would be fools not to accept you.”
“It’s still a possibility, though. Your friends took to me well enough, but not everyone will. It’s not going to be all sunshine and rainbows.”
My brows knit together as I tried to make sense of the phrase. “But Xalan has much sunshine. Many rainbows.”
She sighed. “It means that not everything is going to be easy for us.”
I shrugged and hugged her tighter. “We will have each other. That’s enough.”
We spent the rest of the voyage much the same, enjoying what time we had alone but also spending time with my friends. Amber listened with rapt attention as we each regaled her with tales of life on Xalan, and her eyes widened with wonder when Hunir showed her a recording of the planet from a flight he had taken over the surface. Tears came to my eyes as I saw the brilliant colors of home.
Home. Better yet, home with Amber.
I did not know what the future held, but what I did know was that whatever came to be, we would face it together. Me and my mate. Mytyr’il.
The End
