A love in the stars (closed)

[silvertongue217]

IN A DISTANT SOLAR SYSTEM

IN A TIME LONG PAST

She was sleeping

Peacefully he might add though she almost never slept any other way. It was comforting to Graken who after having slept in the likes of an active battlefield with snoring and grumbling men found peace in her sleep.

And in her

He got up shrugging on his simple black pants. He didnt bother to put on any clothes and made a deliberate point of ignoring his gun belt as he instead walked over to the small viewport. They were on a remote station hanging on the edge of fringe space. It was as far from the war as you could get nowadays. They couldnt stay however but it was the only place in the universe who had a doctor willing to give her and the baby a check up.

The baby

He turned his eye color going to a sharp gray as he took them both in. He moved forward reaching out and slowly pushing the soft blanket down to expose her belly.

"Hello little one" He murmured placing his hand on her belly spreading out his fingers. The runes on his hand began to give off a faint glow as he reached out and communed with the life force inside of her.

The life force that was THEIR baby

Graken was a man who had had the pleasure (and in his eyes the curse) of seeing far to much in his long life time. He was by his peoples customs still a young man even though other species would have considered him ancient. Yet the military had robbed him of any sense of youth he felt.

Now he was just a survivor

"But not with you" He murmured looking at his wife. Their marriage was young two months now since they had both met and been married but he knew it would last he knew it because she had saved him helped him off the path he was on the path of violence and war. There people would kill each other into extinction if given the chance.

But they would be a testement to love conquering all

He reached out stroking her hair before rising once more. He checked his watch noting she was not due to wake up for another hour. He began his early morning work out routine grateful for the physical exertion to center himself.

 

[sharingfantasies]

Alika shifted in her sleep, reaching out for Graken but he was already up. Stretching she sighed softly. He didn't sleep as much as he should, he was restless much of the time. He had so much on his mind. She picked the translator up from the small table near the bed and glanced at it. The small medallion not only helped her to understand the speech of others but it gave the time. She sighed again. Alika would much rather entice her new husband back to bed, but they had an appointment with a doctor to check on the baby. Alika wasn't concerned and, if left up to her own ideas, would not be seeing the doctor so soon. But Graken was adamant that they see the doctor, and she understood. It was hard to find a doctor who would treat a bispecies couple, and they needed to take advantage of the services while they were in the area. Not to mention that her husband, she did so love saying that phrase, was a wee overprotective of her. Since he had found out about the baby, his protective urges had multiplied. It was sweet, annoying at times when he hovered about, but sweet. Alika laughed thinking about telling her very masculine, very soldierly-like husband that he was sweet and watching his eyes change from purple to pink. She was still getting used to reading his emotions through his eye color. Her favorite was the deep forest green they turned when he was loving her.

Rising from the bed, she began to dress, pulling up her leggings over the emerald green arrow dangling from the ring pierced below her navel. She paused, looking at the symbol of her womanhood and wondered what would happen when the skin stretched for the baby. Right now she was still flat there but eventually the skin would spread, would the ring have to be removed? She would have to ask her birthing mother the next time she had a chance to post a message. Communications were hard with all the unrest in the universe and many times she and Kraken were out of reach of any communication signals.

Pulling up the leggings, she tugged her tunic over her head, and fastened the tiny belt around her waist. Tishans, like herself, were all born with curvy bodies but tiny waists. When Graken put his hands there, his fingers met easily. He once mentioned that he was afraid his strength would snap her in two, which made her laugh. Tishans did not break easily and certainly not from being held in a man's arms. As Alika bent over to tug on her low boots, she again thought of the baby and the changes that would come. Some day, it would be Graken putting on her shoes, when her belly was so big she wouldn't be able to see her feet. What if Graken no longer desired her once she had swollen up like a small asteroid? She would have to work hard to make him happy so that he would want her even then.

Checking to make sure her blade was tucked in the secret pocket of her tunic, Alika left the bedroom and went down the hall to the small room where Graken kept some workout equipment. He worked hard at keeping his body in fighting condition, even though he was trying to become a pacifist. As she watched him lift the heavy weights, she smiled. She loved looking at his body as he worked out, watching the muscles shift in his arms and back.

"Husband, it is time to leave for the doctor's. You know, it is too early for the doctor to do anything, don't you?," she said softly.

As they walked from where the ship was docked to the small building that housed the infirmary, Alika watched her husband's blue eyes constantly shift taking in everything and cataloging and departmentalizing the vehicles, beings walking by, and the distance between objects. The constant surveillance was a natural part of who he was. Alika wasn't even sure if he was aware that he did it.

At the doctor's, the nurse's eyebrows raised high when she saw Graken's horns. His horns made him seem larger than life, and emphasized the fact that Alika was not from Marisso. Alika hoped the nurse would not comment on their dual species, because she did not want Graken to get upset. Why people got so indignant over mixing up species she would never understand. But the nurse, merely held out her hand for the payment in advance and sent them back to the cubicle where they waited for the doctor.

 

[silvertongue217]

Things were going smoothly so far

Graken did not like visiting the stations, he preferred there ship which housed only the two of them and would soon include the baby. Stations even remote ones like these were to noisy. Every one and their mother liked to converse and meet up in these places either for work, business, or pleasure to Graken however it was just another battlefield just another place where some would could slide a knife between both of their ribs.....

He shook his head his eyes stormy as they walked in to the doctors office. He noted the nurse shock before she decided to ignore it and sighed. His hands itched to go down to the twin guns in his gun belt. Even though he had vowed not to touch them ever again. What if she decided to look into them? what if she decided to go after the bounty on their head.

Before he could over think it they were rushed into a high tech if not a little cramped room. The doctor was a nice man kind and elderly. His one eye held no contempt or interest as the man checked her and the baby.

"your vitals are good" He said pushing his chair back "both you and the baby seem to be fine I do not know however what your species merging together will lead to as the baby develops for now however we shall operate as if it was a normal baby" He said to them both before handing them his card.

"I will need to keep regular check ups if at all possible" He warned them as he walked them to the door "Move carefully and please both of you be safe"

 

[sharingfantasies]

Alika saw the relief in Graken's eyes when the doctor said the baby was fine. She also saw the relief in the doctor's eyes as they left. She wasn't sure if he was nervous about the bi-species of the baby, or if he had recognized Graken. Either way she was glad to be getting out of there.

As they approached the area where the ship was docked, she noticed a small market place. Coming from an agrarian planet, she was used to having fruits and vegetables always available. One of the hardest parts of living on the ship and constantly traveling was the lack of fresh fruit. She could grow vegetables in the above-ground gardens that Graken had built for her, but there wasn't space for fruit-bearing trees.

"Please, Graken, could we stop to get some fruit? We could buy enough that I could put some up in jars and then we would have fruit when ever we want it."

Alika knew that Graken didn't like market places, they were too loud and crowded, but she also knew that he wouldn't let her go alone. "We don't have to go into the market area, just to that stand with the berries. Please?"

 

[silvertongue217]

Graken turned eyeing the market place as his eyes reflected his worry. He then looked at her sighing as his eyes filled with happiness.

"We can go in" He finally relented ignoring his own worry "but please let us not dawdle my love"

He placed a hand on the small of her back guiding her into the market. The flow of smells and spices that hit him was one he breathed in deeply and enjoyed. He sighed in pleasure at the creature comfort humming softly to himself as he stayed close to his wife. He noted a few supplies to pick up but other wise let her make the shopping trip.

 

[sharingfantasies]

"Oh, thank you, thank you. I will be quick."

Practically jumping with joy, Alika walked as fast as possible to the berry stand. She picked up a strawberry smelling the earthiness and sighed with pleasure. Sifting through the fruit, she selected two pounds of strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. As she paid the small farm worker, the worker looked from her to Graken and back.

"You make a nice couple," she said. "How did you meet?"

Alika flushed, her face red with embarrassment. Glancing at Kraken, who was watching other shoppers closely, she leaned closer to the friendly girl and said with a sheepish smile,"In the most cliche way possible. I was visiting the planet, Sharsa, to see an old friend that had recently married and moved there. As I was going down the ship's ramp, I noticed a pair of horns moving above the heads of the people in front of me on the level ground. The sight startled me and I tripped. You can imagine my surprise and embarrassment when I was caught up in a pair of arms, and found myself looking into the eyes of the stranger with the horns. I stammered a thank you and hurried on my way to meet my friend. At dinner that night, guess who showed up?" Laughing she said, "The rest as they say is history."

Paying for the fruit, she turned to Graken and noticed his blue eyes were shining with humor. She could tell he was remember her inelegant fall into his arms. Laughing back at him, she grabbed his hand. "I have what I wanted, let us go back to the ship."

 

[silvertongue217]

Graken smiled his eyes shinning with humor as he took her hand. The memories of their chance meeting bubbled up the the surface of his head causing him to chuckle as he guided her back to the ship.

"I dont know about you but I am ready to get out of here" Graken said walking her over to the space port. There ship hung at the far back long and sleek one of the few things he had kept from his military days. The ship had long been stripped of any thing the coalition could use to track it down and now served as their home when they were on a planet.

"I dont know about you but I could use a planet after this" Graken said waving his hands and murmuring some thing in his native tongue. The ships freight bay opened up giving them a way to board.

Graken helped her up and then grabbed their things bringing it aboard and stowing the few supplies they had needed.

"Alexander" He called waiting for the ships AI to answer him "take us out please"

"affirmative captain" The AI said as the ships engines roared to life.

 

[sharingfantasies]

Alika smiled widely, Graken had smiled. She lived for these moments when his eyes turned so gray they were almost black. Happily, she left him to get the ship headed for wherever they were going next. Taking the berries into the galley, she began to sort out those that would be chopped and frozen and those that would be cooked and put up in jars for those days when there were no markets around.

She smiled, dancing to a beat in her head, humming a song she learned as a young girl. Graken had done his best to make this the best home he could for her. The kitchen had the most up-to-date appliances and gadgets and a large table where they could eat. It was her favorite space, except for her garden, and she spent a lot of time in both places.

Going to the large walk-in pantry, she leaned down to lift a box of heavy jars. She had learned to can fruit at her mother's knee, standing on a stool stirring the hot jellies and jams. Today she was going to store the berries whole so that she could freeze them. When they were defrosted they could be eaten just as they were or cut up for salads. Tomorrow she would do the jams.

 

[silvertongue217]

Graken watched her go a small smile tugging on his lips as he took her in. She was so innocent so pure in so many ways yet a woman in her own right. His mind threatened to run away with her get lost in memories of their whirlwind romance.

But he pushed those away for now

He instead went over to his workbench. The guns came off and were broken down disassembled in a mere mater of minutes. He focused on them and his little rituals cleaning and checking them with a practiced eye before he finally reassembled them. Once he was satisfied he put them both back in their holsters and hung it on his gun belt.

"Alexander that planet we were scouting plot a course" Graken said looking up "estimated time of arrival?"

"Two days sir"

"Good" Graken murmured running a hand across his horn. They would spend some time on a real planet which would make her and him happy. He went to tell her the news finding her working in the kitchen he paused leaning against the bulk head and admiring her frame.

"God your beautiful" He finally siad.

 

[sharingfantasies]

Alika jerked and almost dropped the box of jars. Tightening her grip she turned around and smiled at Graken. "You startled me," she said softly. "I didn't hear you come in."

He did that a lot, startled her. He had a way of moving that was athletic yet almost feline. He was a big man but he walked softly with the tug and pull of long muscles flowing back and forth. Sometimes when he was pacing, she would sit in the corner and just watch his body move.

Carrying the heavy box to the table, she smiled when he took it from her. Since they had figured out she was pregnant, he hardly every let her lift anything. As he set the box on the counter, she leaned against it, close enough that she could feel the warmth radiating from his skin.

"So, Captain," she smiled up at him, "in which direction are we heading this time?"

 

[silvertongue217]

"an actual fraking planet for once" Graken said putting the box down. He turned noting how close she was and shivering. His hands reached out sliding up and down her frame before finding her hips. He pulled her close pressing their bodies together as their nose slightly bumped together.

"I know you and I both dont like being on a ship or in space for very long" He murmured his lips inches from hers "I though this would be a nice change of pace the planet has a sparse populace and from what I hear it looks very nice we can hang out there for a while before we are forced to move again"

 

[sharingfantasies]

Putting her hands on his warm chest, she could feel his heart beating through his clothes. Looking up she smiled widely, "You mean we could actually stay somewhere for awhile?"

Then realizing that could be taken as complaining, she smiled into his eyes, "You know I love traveling with you, but it would be good to stay somewhere for a little while. Maybe I could get a message out to my birthing mother? I have some questions I would like to ask her, and it would be good if we could stay somewhere long enough to get her response. When will we get there?"

Upon hearing Graken's response, she exclaimed, "Two days! Go on, get out of here, I have a lot to do with this fruit if I want to be finished in two days."

Pulling out of his arms, she laughed, pushing at him (not that he budged) and waving her hand towards the door. "Go do something, exercise, read, watch the lights on the AI panel, do something but get out of my way."

"Two days, two days," she muttered torn between all she needed to do to get the fruit put up and her excitement about being in one place outside in the fresh air. Quickly getting her knife and cutting board she began to cut off the stems of the strawberries.

 

[silvertongue217]

He shook his head "yes dear" He mumbled going to the door. He paused however watched her work for a few seconds and sighing. He admired her form and her abilities for several minutes before he finally ducked out and went down the deck. He ignored his excerise room and instead checked the ship. It didnt take long but it was busy work and so he spent the next hour checking every thing and making sure nothing was wrong with the ship.

Once he was done with that he retired to their bedroom. He stripped down intent on taking a shower and ducking under the warm water. He leaned in putting his head again the tile and letting the warm water roll down his back in small waves.

 

[sharingfantasies]

Two hours later, the berries were in the freezer, labeled and sealed tightly. Tomorrow she would get up early as it took a long time to cook down the fruit for jelly. For now she was exhausted. Her back hurt and her bladder was yelling at her.

Heading for the bedroom, she paused as she noticed Graken on the bed. From the book on his lap, she knew that he had started out reading and fallen asleep. A nap sounded like an excellent idea, but first a shower. She quietly stepped into the bathroom, noticed a damp towel on the bar. She loved that Graken picked up after himself, so many wives she knew complained tirelessly about wet towels and dirty clothes strewn about. Alika guessed it was Graken's military background, but it could be just him, either way she appreciated it.

Stepping out of her leggings, she tossed them and the tunic into hamper. She needed to do some laundry before they landed again. Glancing in the mirror, she slid her hand down over her stomach. She could see that her breasts were changing, but her stomach still seemed flat. She wondered when the baby bump would start to appear.

"We are waiting for you, little one." she whispered as she caressed the area where a tiny being grew.

Then she stepped into the shower and began to wash off. Afterwards, she dried off, hanging her towel next to Graken's made her smile. She loved married life and being married to Graken. Although they had only known each other for a month before he claimed her in marriage, she knew she would never regret it. Each day, she felt her hearts swell until sometimes she wondered how they could fit into her chest. "Thank goodness," she said quietly, "that all Tishans are born with two hearts. I am sure if I had had this much love to fill one heart it would have exploded. Thank you, Goddess Tishana for giving me this man and this baby to love."

Wrapping a dry towel around her petite frame, she slid into the bed under the covers and was instantly asleep.

 

[silvertongue217]

Graken had fallen asleep

That in and of itself was strange, Graken was not a very good sleeper a combination of his PTSD and being on battlefields all his life. He suffered from insomnia and was well known to go whole days without sleeping.

So a nap was pure bliss to him

He felt his wife curl up with him and naturally sought her out. His hands grabbed her hips pulling her close until her pert ass was snuggled against his crotch. His other hand traveled up her stomach rubbing it softly before his hand found her breast and easily cupped it. His head buried into her hair breathing her scent in as he moaned in pleasure.

 

[sharingfantasies]

Alika woke to the feel of her husband's hands sliding over her body. Turning in his arms, she sleepily smiled, "You slept. I am glad." Sliding her arms up around his strong neck, she slid up and kissed him gently. "I love being married to you."'

She felt his strong hands move to her hips as he pulled her up over him. Her legs spreading to either side of his hips, she rocked gently against him as their kiss deepened.

 

[silvertongue217]

"I did and I am glad you joined me" He said his voice husky with both sleep and arousal. He kissed her deeply moaning in pleasure as he felt her press her moist core against him.

"As I love being married to you" he murmured in her mouth his tongue snaking in as his cock throbbed between her. He slid down the curve of his rigid cock allowing him to slide halfway into her from this position. He tipped his head back moaning from the pleasure.

 

[sharingfantasies]

Moaning with pleasure, Alika lifted up from Graken's chest, pushing him deeper inside her. Pressing down on his hips, she moaned, feeling her body stretching wider to take him even deeper. They had been married six weeks and still he thrilled her. Her back arching, head back, panting softly as she rose up until he was almost out of her and then dropped down hard, feeling him thrust deep inside. She loved the small twinge of pain that said she was learning to take him deeper into her body. She wanted him as deep as possible, so deep he could never let her go.

As she moved up and down, her juices eased the tension and she moved faster. Her hips rising and falling, her mouth stretching wide, as she panted heavily. Her dark brown skin tinged with the flush of arousal, as her body tightened, pulsing around Graken. The pressure built inside her, as she struggled to postpone the end, wanting him to be there, when she reached the top.

 

[silvertongue217]

She felt divine

Graken moaned thrusting forward meeting her hips as she struggled to take him deep. He panted his hands sliding down to her ass grabbing the pert luscious globes as his hard cock throbbed inside of her. He groaned his eyes deep dark pools of emerald as he thrusted in and out of her panting softly as they rocked together in bed.

"Thats it my love" Graken moaned his hands slapping her ass as he drove in and out harder and faster. One hand remained on her ass guiding her along as the other stroked up her back and pulled her down pressing their two bodies together. He kissed her deeply his tongue sliding into her mouth as he thrust in and out taking her deeply.

 

[sharingfantasies]

Alika could feel Graken's hands holding her hips tightly in place as he thrust roughly into her. Their tongues dueled as each strove to push the other higher and higher. His hand slapped her cheeks making her body spasm even more tightly around him as the tension inside built higher and higher. She had tried so hard to wait for him to join her going over the edge but it was too much and she could hold back no more. Rising above him, she paused. looked down into eyes even greener than her own, and dropped down hard onto him. Her back arched, her mouth stretched wide as she screamed his name, shuddering as her body clenched tightly around him. Waves of pleasure surged through her again and again, until, with a soft moan, she collapsed on to his broad chest. Gasping for air she lie boneless, feeling his warm hand stroke her back slowly letting come down.

Slowly, she became more aware of her surroundings. Aware of his large hand stroking her back. Lifting her head slowly, she looked down into his eyes still bright green and softly spoke, "The things you do to me, my husband, the places you take me. It never ceases to amaze me, how you can make me feel those things."

 

[silvertongue217]

"Mmmmm I can say the same to you my wife" Graken chuckled his cock still throbbing inside of her as she came back down to earth. Through sheer force of will and his own training he had staved off his orgasm kept himself instead right on the edge. It was a madening prospect but he had no intention of cuming just yet not when his wife and her lovely body was currently impaled on his cock.

"But now it is my turn" He chuckled moving this time so she was on the bottom. He lifted her legs running his hands up and down the skin before he thrusted forward his cock bottoming out and filling her more deeply then before. He spanked her ass running his hands up and down her stomach and to her breast as he began to grunt and fill her rutting inside of her as his eyes locked with hers.

 

[sharingfantasies]

His words made her flush with pleasure. Alika sometimes worried that so much pleasure was impossible to maintain. She feared that someday he would get tired of her. But, not at this moment, when his eyes glowed green and he was hard and deep inside her.

She gave a short gasp as he flipped them over, then cried out with the intensity of his deep thrusts. He was deeper than he had ever been, his hand lifting her hips as he slapped her bottom, the tingling pain making her pleasure stronger.

As he rammed into her body over and over, she cried out, back arching thrusting her hips to meet him. Her hands gripped his forearms, where she could see the muscles straining as he took her higher and higher. She looked into his eyes, let him see her deep love for him as her body began to tighten once more.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Uh huh thats it baby thats it" Graken moaned over and over again. His hands couldnt get enough of her running all over her body touching and teasing every inch of her as his cock throbbed inside of her. He fucked her with passion making love at the same time he hungrily moved in and out of her. He panted his chest heaving up and down low groans and moans coming from his body as he felt himself getting closer and closer.

He leaned down kissing her deeply his tongue sliding into her mouth at the same time he felt himself go over the edge. He thrusted forward moaning in pleasure his cock throbbing and swelling inside of her as it burst. His cum flowed inside of her seeding her as he thrusted in and out and rode out his orgasm.

 

[sharingfantasies]

Fingers clenching his arms where she gripped him tightly. She moaned deeply as she shattered around Graken, Alika could feel him fill her with the seed that had created the baby she carried. The seed that was proof that he desired her. Her arms tightened tightly around him, enjoying the weight of his body on her as they slowly came down. She kissed his shoulder softly, ran her hand slowly up and down his back.

"So good, you make me feel so good," she whispered. "I love when you come deep inside me."

 

[silvertongue217]

"and there is nothing more pleasurable then coming with you my love" He said chuckling and moving off of her his cock limply falling between his legs. He got up turning and leaning in to give her a deep kiss before standing.

"My darling" He murmured then repeated it in his peoples language "rest please I have to go check on our progress" He said pulling the blankets back over her and giving her belly a rub before he walked out naked.
