Avari Nyx Read online

  He increased his pace as her lips began to explore the side of his throat, muttering the occasional curse as she found a spot that was especially sensitive. Hesper flew in front of them as they wended their way through the forest paths.

  Thirty minutes after they left the meeting hall, they arrived at his home. Keeping her tight against him, he opened the door and brought her inside. The inside of the house was cloaked in darkness. Nothing was visible to her pale and human eyes.

  She did not even notice her surroundings, she held on tight as he walked to his bed and let her slide slowly down his body. Humming with pleasure at the feel of her against his aroused flesh. He reached for a lamp and watched her face as the light flared to life.

  “I am glad that you attended the festival. You will not regret it.”

  He brought her to him again, and put her hands against the ties that held his tunic and trousers on. “First we will get rid of my clothing, then yours. You look quite lovely this evening, by the way.”

  Her hands fumbled a bit, then moved more surely, as the shape of the ties came to her memory, as clear as day. When they were freed, she slid her hands up Tarun’s smooth skin and caressed the tunic off of his shoulders.

  From his shoulders she trailed her hands over the warm pads of muscle, down to his ribs then across his flat belly to his trousers. Her fingertips dipped delicately below the edge of the leather, and she smiled as the muscles drew in sharply. Stopping her teasing, she undid the fastenings that once again seemed clear before her. As her hands let go, the loose trousers dropped into a tan puddle on the floor before Tarun’s bed.

  She briefly caressed his cock as it rose proudly to curve towards his abdomen, enjoying the feeling of his heart beating and pulsing through the warm and heated flesh.

  Her hands, of their own accord, drew up once again to trace the contours of his chest, his ribs, and around to his back, in this manner embracing him while rubbing her body against him gently in need of further contact. She sighed in contentment and laid her head on his chest as his arms came around her to draw and cuddle her close. Once again she rubbed herself against his hard cock, feeling the moisture at the tip dampening her gown.

  “Now, your turn.” He gave her a gentle squeeze and began to untie the laces supporting her top. When it was loose, he left it in place and began to work on her skirt. It too came undone with only a few strategic maneuvers, he left one hand on it, and the other on her top, then kissed her on the top of her head and drew her clothing off of her in a few graceful moves.

  “Now we are on equal footing, so to speak.”

  Tarun’s head dipped to hers. His lips met hers for the second time. Like the first, she almost felt as if a glow enveloped them from the moment that their lips met. His tongue swept in to tease and play at hers, and she felt her feet leave the ground.

  Her back hit the bed with a whisper of crisp sheets. Before she knew what was about to happen, he came upon her. His thighs parting hers as he settled onto her.

  “I am going to memorize your body Anna, every inch, but first, I think we need to get something out of the way.” He seemed both resigned and enthusiastic at his plan.

  He inserted two fingers between her thighs and worked them into her damp heat. She sighed and arched as his fingers stirred the heat within her. Within moments, her hips were moving in time to his fingers, her breath coming faster in the silence of the night.

  As whimpers began to break from her throat, he moved. Shifting his hips to push his arousal against her. Two nudges against her slick petals, and he was sliding past the tension at her entrance and deep inside. Gently and deliberately, he began to move within her.

  Thrust after thrust he delivered into her willing body. She started to moan with every movement within her, her back arching to rub her breasts against his chest with every stroke. A strange glow emanated from them both, but in Anna’s distracted state, she thought it was only a sign of the coming dawn. As Tarun continued to move within her, the glow grew brighter.

  He noticed that she was approaching her release and drove his hips harder. Snaking one hand down between them to caress her clit, as if he knew how she liked to be touched. She went off with only a few caresses of his fingers on her slick flesh, his hard cock pounding within her.

  “Oh, Stars!” The involuntary cry broke from her.

  Sparks flew behind her eyes as her body convulsed in it’s victory. She felt him pulsing within her, and met his gaze while his eyes burned into hers as his body achieved it’s own release with a groan and a shudder.

  He collapsed onto her, sweat coating him with that strange glow still burning beneath his skin. Anna blinked to clear her vision, then noted that she was actually glowing herself.

  “What the hell?” Her next words were cut off as Tarun lowered his mouth to hers.

  His lips and tongue fed at hers, and she let out a shuddering moan when she felt him begin to twitch and swell inside her once again.

  “I will explain it all to you later. But now, I need to know how you taste.” His lips traced down her neck and trailed across her breast leaving heat burning in her skin as he passed, over her ribs and along the gentle soft swell of her belly.

  Beside her hips, her hands made fists in the sheets, her body tensed and lifted to his mouth as his exploration continued. His hands spread her thighs to make room for him, and he leaned down to taste her. She let her voice have its reign as his tongue lapped at her from anus to clit. She was moaning and shrieking in response to the sensations that he heaped on her. His tongue thrust into her, lapping up her juices as her body begged for more.

  Her hips twisted restlessly, seeking a firmer touch. She gasped in relief as he thrust two fingers into her and attached his lips to the bud of sensation that quivered in anticipation of his tongue. The walls of her cunt grabbed desperately at his fingers, trying to draw them in further. When he felt the flutter deep within her he raised his head and gave her a wicked smile.

  He withdrew his fingers from her slick depths and ever so slowly climbed up her body, keeping scant inches of air between them.

  “Do you want more?” His tongue slid out to lick at her lips. She raised her head to his as he pulled away. A frustrated groan sounded from her throat.

  He lifted off of her completely and flipped to his own back on the bed next to her. “Then take it.”

  She scrambled up in the bedding and looked him up and down. The glow was still evident, but she had put it to the back of her mind. She would worry about it later. Now there was all of that golden bronze skin to explore.

  Anna dipped her head forward and took him deeply into her mouth without any preliminary touching, sucking and working at him with her tongue.

  He shouted incoherently and pulled her up and across him. His chest heaving as he drew her astride him, two fingers sliding into her once again. Her back arched, moments later she was gripping his cock and sliding it into the warm embrace of her body. She sighed in relief and began to move. As she rocked up and down on him, he stroked her legs gently out until the juncture of her thighs was flat against his pelvis. She shuddered and shook, oh god he was so deep.

  Her hips rocked gently, then with a faster rhythm as each movement drove her clit mad with sensation. Finally she groaned as the fire exploded behind her eyes; her body flexed and tightened around him. Her body shook violently with her release.

  Once she had stopped shuddering around him Tarun gripped her hips and worked her up and down on his cock, driving his hips upward to bury himself into her depths. Anna tried to help him, but her muscles were limp with the aftermath of the orgasm that had claimed her. She could feel the head of his erection dragging against the sensitive tissues within, rubbing and caressing and making a home for itself within her.

  Tarun’s eyes closed and he arched as he spent himself inside her depths, a groan shaking the bed and reverberating through the night. Anna squirmed lightly against him, and he tugged her down to lie on his chest. With one hand he flipped
a sheet over them both and they slept, his arms curled around her, their bodies still joined.

  How long they slept Anna didn’t know, but when she woke something had changed. She looked down at the dark head resting on her breast and smiled. She stroked his hair and ran her hand down the line of his shoulder, loving the play of muscle under skin.

  Sometime during the night they had shifted position, but Anna was not upset, she loved the feel of him lying against her. As she stroked his hair, he stirred.

  Against her thigh she felt him beginning to swell with interest in the soft body beneath him. His head lifted from her breast and his eyes met hers with a smile of greeting.

  “Holy Shit!” A second more and she was out of the bed and across the room, backing toward the door.

  “Anna, what is it? What’s wrong?” His voice was even deeper than usual this morning, and she shook with fear as she looked at the stranger that she had woken up with.

  Chapter 7

  His body had undergone fifteen years of aging in a matter of hours. The strong chest that she had cuddled up to last night was now deeper and wider. His jaw had squared, the muscles of his neck were now thick and corded. The lithe muscles of the rest of his body were replaced by rippling bands, and his male endowments were, well, huge.

  “Tarun? Is that you?” Her mind was a little muddled at present. She knew it was him, knew his scent, but he looked different.

  He let out a sigh. “Yes, it’s me. And if you are looking at me like I have changed, then I was right. We are true mates. Have a seat and I’ll explain.” He gestured to the bed.

  She eyed the extremely intimidating erection that was obviously intended for her and opted to sit in the chair by the window. “Uh, could you toss me that sheet please?”

  He glanced down at himself, looked a little sheepish and did as she asked. Seconds later she was wrapped from armpit to toes, feeling a little more in charge of herself.

  “Ok. Explain.” She crossed her arms and waited for his explanation.

  “Where to start?” He sighed heavily. “The first time that I met you, I felt the beginnings of the change. When a male meets a female that is a candidate for mating, he feels the start of the change. It is a kind of a pulling. A feeling that grows every time that they meet.”

  “When the male and female mate for the first time, the change starts. He acquires the fully mature form required for procreation. Until the change happens, he is sterile.”

  “Ok. Fine. I can get used to that, but what about the glow?” It made a certain amount of sense, and explained several of the comments that her friends had made during tea.

  “Ah, that.” He stopped to rub the back of his neck. “You know that Avari is tech restricted, right?”

  “Of course, that is why I am here.”

  “Well, that’s not exactly true. The people of Avari have nanites in their systems that repair us as time progresses. We still have a designated life span of about two hundred years, but we remain physically fit.”

  “Whoa.” She thought about it for a few minutes. “Ok, then why don’t I feel them? If everyone here is filled with nano machines, why aren’t I screaming in a small heap?”

  “Different frequency. The nanites operate with the same electrical field as regular nerve impulses. There was no reason for you to feel anything.” He sat on the edge of the bed, and as he explained, Hesper swooped in and landed on his shoulder.

  “Aha. Ok that leaves me with the final question. Why does Hesper follow me everywhere I go?”

  “Hmm. Well, Hesper has been tuned to me. Our nanites operate on the same frequency and I can see what she sees.”

  It took her a moment to realize what he had said. “Wait, you mean, when I was bathing in the pool, you saw all that?”

  His skin flushed and his erection twitched as the images of her caressing herself came flooding back to him. “I needed to keep an eye on you, to make sure that you didn’t come to harm.”

  Her lips took on a wry twist. “Well, as you may imagine, I think that I was perfectly safe that day. Did you enjoy watching?” Suddenly a teasing tone was in her voice, and she realized that she could not stay mad at him.

  He had not deliberately lied to her, just omitted certain facts.

  “Very much. I would enjoy watching you in person some time.” His voice had grown even deeper and his eyes were darkening with lust.

  “How about now?” Anna rose to her feet and walked toward him.

  At her approach, Hesper took flight and was out the window in seconds. Slowly, teasingly, she unwrapped the sheet and let it fall to the ground. Her fingers came up and drew a delicate line along her collarbone. By now she was standing between his legs. Her hands came down and cupped her breasts, teasing at the nipples until they stood at attention.

  His eyes were glued to her hands, each movement of her fingers on her sensitive flesh caused him to draw in his breath in a shudder of arousal.

  Her fingers drew down her ribs, and parted the petals of her sex, exposing the slick interiors to his view. Delving between the parted lips with her middle finger, she dipped it in her dew and spread the moisture over her clit.

  One hand returned to her breast and kneaded, while the other circled her nub and gasped at the pleasure that she was bringing to her body. Suddenly she heard a snarl and then she was flying though the air. Impacting the bed pressed the air out of her lungs. Feeling Tarun press his erection against her ass left her gasping.

  His shoulders were not the only part of him that had gotten bigger.

  His hands drew her to her knees and she was forced to balance on her hands as he parted her thighs to make room for him behind her. He eased the head of his cock into her, pushing and retreating, over and over until he was fully seated.

  “So, when you touch yourself, does it feel as good as this?” His voice was a growl in her ear as he began to move within her. If she hadn’t been out of her mind with arousal, she would never have been able to take him all.

  “Oh god.”

  “Does it? Don’t you want me inside you when you fuck yourself?” Each word was punctuated with a thrust of his hips.

  “Yes, yes I want you inside me. I was thinking about you on the rock and wanted you with me.” Her words were carried on her gasps. She was so close.

  “You want me to touch you here don’t you?” His fingers teased around the area where their bodies joined.

  “Yes! Please!” Her back arched and she thrust her hips back to bring him deeper.

  “Whatever you wish Anna.” His knowledgeable fingers swirled around her clit and she screamed and threw her head back as the rigor swept through her. His hips pumped violently into her, fingers gripping her hips hard enough to leave bruises. The slapping sound of his balls against her ass was the only noise in the room aside from the grunts and moans of the participants.

  Finally, he shuddered and came. She felt the head of his cock spurting deep inside her, then the groan as he pumped into her over and over again.

  With one hand wrapped around her waist, he fell to the side taking her with him. His body still joined to hers.

  Idly, she looked at her hand in the morning light and noted that she was glowing again. Then she looked again.

  Her scars were gone. She checked her other hand, the marks of the pilot fittings were gone. She sat up and examined her body, Tarun’s spent member slipping from her. All of her scars were gone. “Tarun!”

  “Hmm?” His body was completely relaxed, glowing slightly.

  “What happened to my scars? They’re gone. Every one of them. Even the ones that I got as a kid.”

  “The nanites. They repair all damaged tissue.” He stretched and looked like he was going to nap.

  “But I don’t have any nanites in my system.”

  “Yes, you do.” One eye opened and watched how she was going to take this.

  “But how could I? I mean if they were in the food, I would have changed days ago, wouldn’t I?”

  “N
ot in the food. Only in sentient living beings.”

  “Then how?” She was baffled. She honestly didn’t think how she could have ingested the tiny computers.

  Sighing Tarun sat up. With two fingers he reached between her thighs, delved deep and brought out those two fingers covered with her cream and his seed.

  “The thin tissues of the vaginal walls allow the nanites access to the bloodstream. The minute that I came inside you, you had them in your system. The glow is the energy that they are expending to repair the nerve damage that you sustained, in a few days you should be completely healthy.”

  “You…you didn’t tell me.” She was in shock. This was not something that she had ever considered on her possible list of happenings. “I have to go.”

  “Annabelle, wait. Please. This is just the way things are here.” He reached out a comforting hand to her. She shied away from it and wrapped herself in the sheet once again.

  Rolling out of the bed, she grabbed her shoes from the floor and headed out the door. She heard Tarun following her and when she got to the door she asked him, “Please, I just need some time alone.”

  She scooted down the path and through the market place, ignoring the stares and the greetings called to her. When Ilyssa called out to her, Annabelle broke into a run, heading for the safety of her cottage.

  As she entered the clearing where her cottage was, she noted Hesper on a branch watching her with concern. She gave the raptor a teary-eyed smile and went into the tiny house.

  Inside she was at loose ends. Her hands would not let her work on her hobbies, and she was to nervous to read. A swim. That was it.

  She flung off the sheet and got dressed. Her hands flying automatically to the ship suit to tug it on. This was who she was, a human, a Terran and an Alliance battle cruiser pilot.

  She ran down the path to the pool, noting that she seemed to have a boundless amount of energy. Her feet were sure and swift, she was at the pool in no time.

  She skinned out of the suit the moment that she hit the bank and dove into the water without a second thought. Tirelessly she stroked back and forth, pulling herself through the water and clearing her mind. As she swam she came to grips with a few things.
