Dekario (Dragons Of Kelon) (A Sci Fi Alien Weredragon Romance) Page 7

  “You creep!” I playfully said as I slapped his back hard.

  “I did nothing but my assignment,” he laughed. “What brings you to the barracks this early? I would think you would still be taking a couple of turns with Reena,” he said.

  “I’ve come to look for Commander Triq. He attacked Reena last night,” I said angrily.

  “What? Commander Triq did that?” Kavik said surprised.

  “Yes, I caught him in the act, and we had a confrontation. But I am not finished with him. I have a few choice words for him,” I said looking around for him.

  “That makes sense. That would be why he left in such a rush earlier,” Kavik said putting his blaster gun in his boot.

  “What? He left? Where did he go?” I said, pissed off that I missed my opportunity to scold him, but also relieved that he was no longer near Reena.

  “He left to Tiok with Nalox and another warrior team,” Kavik said.

  “Tiok? I wasn’t aware of this mission,” I said.

  “Yeah, neither was I. He said it was to take charge of a cargo transfer in Pacu. He was very adamant that you and I were not needed,” Kavik said.

  “We have been replaced,” I said.

  “Ye, and I now know the reason why. It was because of your encounter with him last night. He probably feels humiliated and doesn’t want to face you, so he replaced us,” Kavik said.

  “Perhaps. But that sounds a little strange to me. Something is not right with that. I am going to dig a little on this. I don’t like it,” I said.

  “Anything I can do to help?” Kavik asked.

  “Yes, find out which ship he went in. Which warriors he took and if there really was an order for this cargo transfer,” I said. “I have a meeting with the king. I will meet up with you later.”

  “Sounds like a plan. I can handle that,” Kavik said as we grabbed forearms in a Draqua arm shake and parted way. Then I made my way to the palace to see the king.

  “Are you aware of Commander Triq’s departure to Tiok?” I said after I greeted the king with a bow.

  “Commander Triq has left Kelon?” King Hydros said.

  “Yes. I thought it was odd.”

  “I am not aware of every single departure; nothing would ever get done if that was the case. But you have reason to think of it as odd? Tell me why?” King Hydros moved over to an open area of the room and shifted out of dragon form. When I arrived, he had just come in from a flight around the village. I followed his lead and shifted out of dragon form as well.

  “Because he was adamant about not taking Kavik and I and we have always accompanied him on missions to Tiok. We are a team, but there is a factor that I must inform you of that could also have affected his decision to leave Kavik and me out of his plans,” I said as the king handed me a glass of water.

  “Go on,” he said.

  “Last night I found the human female Reena screaming for help in her hut. Commander Triq was attempting to force himself on her. I put a stop to it,” I said.

  “Commander Triq did what?!” the King roared. “That is not tolerated here!”

  “Yes, as I told Reena. I protected her the rest of the night and led her to the communal spaces this morning. I did not know of Commander Triq’s departure from Kelon at the time, but I knew that she could not stay in her hut alone.”

  “Protected her?” the king asked with an arched eyebrow.

  I grinned. I couldn’t help myself as I remembered what Reena and I had done. “She asked me to stay and protect her. I did not do anything unless she asked me to.”

  “And did she?”

  “She did.”

  “Good,” the king said.

  “What? Do you mean you are not cross with me for taking her? I have not been granted her as a mate. It is not the Draqua way.”

  “No, you are right. It is not the Draqua way. But your disobedience in that matter might work out for us. The humans are anticipating returning to Earth, which as you know is a very complex situation for us since humans on Earth do not know of our existence. By taking Reena, as you have done, perhaps she will want to stay on Kelon. She might even grow to love you.”

  “I can only hope,” I said.

  “As for Commander Triq, if you feel that something is not righ, then I trust your instincts. I give my permission to keep an eye on it. You and Kavik keep an eye on it together but take no action toward it. I am sure that it is nothing. But it might get us some needed information. I am still wary of the Aeriwana Draqua hybrids, and I can feel that something is happening on that front. Perhaps it is linked.”

  “I will keep an eye on it, as you say,” I said to the king, a bit annoyed that he was not letting me depart to find out what Commander Triq was up to.

  “Yes. If you find something, report to me immediately,” he responded.

  But as soon as I realized that he just wanted me to stay on Kelon, my mind jumped to Reena. I didn’t want to leave her, not now. I didn’t trust that she would be safe in the village without me. So perhaps it was a thing that the king was not ordering me to leave Kelon. It would be a hard thing to do. I think King Hydros sensed my hesitation.

  “What is it?” he asked.

  “I want her. I want Reena as my mate. I know I am only a warrior, but I am one of your trusted warriors. If you think it is worthy, may I be granted a human female wife?”

  “You know my wife; she will insist that the human female want you in return. I know that is not the traditional way of the Draqua. It used to be that the king granted a human female to a Draqua male, but since she came into my life…” he smiled.

  “Yes, I am aware,” I grinned, suddenly understanding how he allowed his human female to influence him so much. I would also do anything that Reena asked of me.

  “We grant you permission to court her, if she wants you in return, then you shall be granted her as a wife,” a soft feminine voice said. I turned to see Queen Melody Hydros entering the room.

  “Yes, my queen,” the King said going over to her and placing a kiss on her cheek. She blushed.

  “Now, if there isn’t anything else, I think you should get a move on that mission and leave me with my beautiful wife. I have a lot of… business… to discuss with her,” the king said.

  “Yes, sir!” I said playfully, understanding his notion. I bowed to them, “My queen, my king,” and then I moved to the veranda and shifted. I ran fast and swan dived off the edge and flew straight to the village to find Reena. She would be relieved to hear of Commander Triq’s departure, but that didn’t make me feel good about leaving her for too long. I still did not trust that she was safe, for some unknown reason.

  I flew over the white beaches and spotted her immediately. Her long brown hair was down around her shoulders, and she was wearing the very vibrant cloths of the Draqua. It was the first time I had seen her dressed in the Draqua fashion. She had worn her space suit since arrival. It suddenly filled me with joy to see her in the sheer white dress over the long horizontal strip of green cloth covering her breasts and the blue loincloth covering her from waist to thigh. It was a sign she was embracing the Draqua life. I watched as she did a cartwheel in the sand and laughed and giggled with her friend Luka. I landed near them and walked over.

  “Having a good time on the beach?” I said playfully.

  “Yes,” Reena said, walking over to me with a big smile on her face. Her friend Luka blushed at seeing me. I wondered how much she had told her close friend about our encounter. Or had Luka simply heard us the way Kavik did?

  “Good, I am glad that you are. What’s next?” I asked implying what was next for the day.

  “Well, we were just talking about how we were hungry again,” Reena said pointing at Luka.

  “I’ve got that covered. Watch,” I said ready to impress the human females. I gathered a pile of wood and placed it in a fire pit as they watched. They looked confused. Then I took a deep breath as I looked at Reena. I could feel the warmth in my chest begin to build. Then I opened m
y mouth and shot fire at the woodpile.

  “Oh my god,” Reena whispered as I lit the fire pit. Then I stopped and turned to them.

  “I can’t believe you are able to do that,” Reena said.

  “I’m not done. Now, you said you were hungry?” I said.

  Reena looked at Luka and both of them nodded. I ran at a fast speed toward the ocean as though I was going to jump into the tide, but before my feet hit the water I flew straight up into the air. I could hear the women gasp as I did so. I flew fast and hard over the water and then stopped mid air and changed direction. I dove straight down very fast and dove into the water. I was down in the water for five minutes. I didn’t need to be down there that long, but I wanted Reena wondering where I was. I wanted to make her want to see me emerge. Then, I finally did. I broke through the surface and flew into the air with a large fish in my hands. I flew onto the beach and threw the fish on the fire.

  “Food will be ready soon,” I said as I walked over to Reena, dripping wet. She was staring at me with her mouth slightly open.

  “That was so cool!” Luka shouted as she giggled.

  “Yeah, what she said,” Reena added.

  “Should we go for a swim?” I said.

  “Yea!” Luka shouted as she pulled off her sheer white dress and ran into the waves. Reena grabbed her dress, but I stopped her. “No, allow me,” I said as I grabbed it from the bottom hem at her knees and slowly slid it up her body, allowing the back of my hand to graze her skin. She breathed in a sharp breath of air as I moved over her thighs, then her belly, breasts, and then finally over her head. I leaned down to press my lips to hers, but as I got close, she jerked away with a laugh and ran straight into the water. I growled at being denied a kiss. I ran and dove into the water, speeding out as they watched and then back to them. We played and frolicked in the cool crystal waters for some time. Then when we returned to the beach, Kavik was waiting for us.

  “Kavik!” I said.

  “I took the liberty of turning this over and then removing it. It is done,” he said pointing to the fish that he had placed on a long leaf.

  “Thank you. Join us! There is plenty,” I said.

  “Yes! There is plenty,” Luka said interrupting us.

  Kavik smiled at her. I knew that smile well on him. “I would be glad to. I have some business to discuss with you as well.”

  “Understood,” I said as I motioned him to me closer to the shoreline. I pulled my long knife out of my boot and handed it handle first to Reena. “This is for the fish. I trust you can manage?”

  “I am a scientist. I think I know how to serve fish,” she said as she grabbed the knife from me and her and Luka made their way to the fire and to the fish.

  “What new, Kavik?” I said.

  “I found out as much as I could about Commander Triq’s mission.”

  “Lay it on me,” I said quietly.

  “Yatew and Borvon are the warriors that replaced us on the mission.”

  “I do not know them,” I said.

  “No, neither do I. They only finished their training a month ago. Very young hybrids,” Kavik said.

  “So they are young and impressionable. They know nothing but following orders. It makes sense that he chose them. What else?”

  “He took a small ship, a Kiva 867.”

  “A Kiva? That is not a cargo ship. That is a speed ship. It is one of the fastest in the fleet.”

  “Yes, exactly, and get this: there was no mission for a cargo transfer for him on the books. He convinced the port to let him take the ship by making up some bullshit story about a trade that needed immediate attention on Tiok. No doubt he scared the shit out of the port guard in some manner or other to allow that to happen.”

  “Just as I thought. Good work, Kavik. I will report this to the king and see what actions he wishes us to take. When I spoke to him earlier, he said that only you and I should secretly keep an eye on Commander Triq and that situation but to take no action. I will see if this new information changes that, but I doubt it.”

  “Good, because I’m done with work for the day. The sun is setting, and I have grown… hungry,” he said as he looked over at Luka. I saw her turn to him and give him a smile. We moved toward the human females.

  “Have you already cut yourself?” I playfully said as I sat in the sand next to Reena.

  She smiled. “I have perfectly cut the fish with no incidences,” she smiled.

  “That’s impressive,” I said looking at her work. We all sat around the fire eating and having a good time. It was very strange to get along so well with these humans. I was not expecting to have anything to talk about or to spend time with a human female other than the mating that was necessary. This was refreshing.

  “Come on, I want to show you something,” I said to Reena as I stood up and held my hand out to her.

  She stood up and said, “Where are we going?”

  “You will see,” I said with a smile.

  “But I promised Luka we would walk back to our huts together,” she said.

  “I’ll walk her home!” Kavik blurted out. We were all silent for a second. Then Luka cut through the silence as she said, “Oh yes, that will be fine. Don’t worry about me, Reena.”

  “All right,” Reena said with a smile. I grabbed her hand and led her down the beach a bit as we walked in silence. Then I stopped and looked at her.

  “Well?” she said.

  I didn’t answer. Instead, I picked her up into my arms and flew into the night sky. She let out a little squeal as I did so. “What are you doing?” she said as she wrapped her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist.

  “Having some fun,” I told her.

  I flew out over the water and then got very low over it. Reena laughed as the spray from the water wet her. I had fun taking my time allowing her to enjoy the flight. I never understood how humans could ever find any enjoyment without the ability to fly, so I wanted to show her what it was like in a fun way. We weren’t running from any monster or flying to a specific destination with a purpose. We were just flying for fun. She giggled and placed soft kisses on my chest. As soon as she did so, I found myself aroused. She shouldn’t have done that because now there was no stopping me. The queen herself did give me permission to court Reena, as she put it. I assumed this was as close to courting as a Draqua could get.

  “There,” I said as I looked ahead.

  “What is it?” she asked.

  “It’s an island called Eita. It is isolated and very small. That is where we are going,” I said as I flew to the island. It was only about the size of a very large hut in the village. I landed on the sand.

  “Oh my gosh. This is incredible. It looks like it’s just floating in the ocean,” Reena said as she walked around the small area of land surrounded by water.

  “Look at these trees; there are only three but they are tall, and they look happy to be on this small piece of land,” she said as she excitedly took it all in.

  “Yes, and look up. Without the light of the village, you can see all the stars and our three moons,” I said. She looked up and gasped.

  “Dekario, this is beautiful. I have never seen so many stars in my life. They completely cover the sky barely leaving in black. The moons, they are glowing and—”

  She couldn’t finish because I placed my mouth aggressively on hers, cutting her off. I couldn’t wait anymore. She moaned and put her hands against my forearms. I put my hands on her bottom and squeezed. Then I let my hand go down her bottom, further and further as I kissed her. Then I let my long fingers slide between her thighs. Reena sighed and lifted her thigh against my leg. I groaned in response. I pushed them up her loincloth and directly onto her sweet center.

  “Oh god,” she whispered between kisses. I allowed two fingers to push inside of her warmth. She whimpered and pressed her body against mine. I moved my fingers slowly within her as she cried out. My cock was completely hard. I rubbed it against her small frame. Understanding my
needs, Reena reached down and placed her hand on top of it. She rubbed the material of my waistcloth up and down over it. I growled in response. I knew that I couldn’t wait any longer, but I wanted to please her. I wanted her ready for me. I moved my fingers from inside of her and pushed them on top of her sweet spot.

  “Oh yes. Right there; don’t stop touching me there,” Reena said. I played with this spot, allowing my finger to move in a circular motion. I felt her tense up as she pushed her face into my chest.

  “I’m going to release,” she whispered.

  “Good,” I whispered back. Then her body convulsed slightly as she moved her hand off of my cock and pressed her fingertips into my sides. She held on as though she was going to lose her balance. I moved my hand from her center and put my hands on her back, holding her up as she whimpered and went limp. I smiled at her. I scooped her up into my arms and laid her on the soft sand. I pushed my face between her thighs and tasted the result of my work. She moaned and wiggled. “I’m so sensitive still,” she said as I slowly licked her.
