The Intergalatical Zoo of Alien Life.

[TiredFingers]

"Hurry!" Hunter demanded as Gaia finally began his way. "We have to escape."

He looked back toward the keepers, finding them all entirely engaged with the big, dangerous lizard from another world. He snatched the female's hand and pulled her hard toward a thick section of faux-forest the enclosure's designers had attempted to make as real as any true Yuza rainforest. When he realized that a pair of the keepers had turned their attention to him and Gaia, Hunter crouched them both down behind a rock, pretending to only be hiding. One of the keepers turned back to the beast, jabbing at it with a long tranquilizer pole; the other continued to look between the beast and the Humans.

Suddenly, a surge forward by the lizard gained the attention of all 12 of the keepers. The creature slashed its tail, charged, slashed again, then lowered its horned head and charged another Yuzan. Hunter looked to the open door and found it still open but with a keeper standing near it, grasping a tranquilizer dart gun in his hands; the man seemed to be looking for the exhibits true occupants.

"Now!" Hunter said suddenly when he saw the gate's guarding keeper's attention shift to the lizard. "We go now!"

He pulled Gaia to her feet and ran for the open portal. Just before they reached it, the keeper there spotted the advancing humans. He looked panicked and only backed up initially. He finally raised the gun … but too late; Hunter slashed the blunt end of his spear through the air, catching the man with force across his temple. The man's head spun halfway around, the attack dropping him to the dirt.

Hunter didn't hesitate. He shot through the open door, dragging the still naked Gaia behind him. Their flight would have been a short one; there was, indeed, a second set of gates just a few meters past the previous one. But another keeper had unlocked that gate and was passing through it, bringing with her a more powerful tranquilizer weapon. This time, Hunter simply rammed into the female with all his momentum, knocking her hard against the wall; she, too, collapsed, knocked out.

Hunter led Gaia down a series of twisting passageways that he didn't realized were one floor beneath the park. There were no Yuza here, which was good; the doors he tried were all locked, which wasn't. Finally, they arrived at an unlocked door with a small window in it that looked out onto a park-like setting. There were dozens of visitors eating and drinking and enjoying their day, oblivious to the mayhem taking place halfway across the zoo. There was no way two Human Beings -- aliens!, one of them scantily dressed and the other naked -- could get through that crowd without being seen.

Hunter looked back down the passageway, wondering whether or not they could go back and find a way out. And then he saw the open front of a locker filled with keepers' uniforms. He smiled, snatched out some of the items, and held them out toward Gaia.

"Put on," he told her with a widening smile. "Put on … and we escape."

 

[LandiKirk]

"Hurry! We have to escape."

Gaia looked between Hunter and the opening. Now she reached for hi hand. When he crouches down she follows his lead. She watches the monster with the strange stick and wonders if it will eat them like the strange mix beast would.

Now! We go now!" Hunter's commanding voice reminded her of Wynn's voice. Her father was responsible for his family and the whole tribe so it made sense that Hunter would have those same qualities.

Gaia had to run to keep up with his stride. It was a long row of twists and Gaia wondered if there was a way to escape.

When they came across the new Yuza, Gaia tries to scream but Hunter defended them both and went deeper into these tunnels.

Finally arriving at an opening Gais saw the Yuza in various sizes. They were families and tribes .. so why did they take Hunter from his tribe and her away from the tall ones.

Hunter moved back from the doorway then handed her some strange fur. It was a light blue and had strange Mark's on it.
"Put on," he told her with a widening smile. "Put on … and we escape."

Gaia.copied Hunter to put on those clothes and she held still as he fixes the hat to cover her hair. The Yuza didnt have much hair so to make the disguise work the hair must be hidden.

Now Gaia follows lHunter to the opening. He took her hand and walked out into the open. So far the disguise was working and no one bothered them as they weaved thru the park. Gaia was amazed by all the different displays of Creatures they saw as Hunter lead them deeper into the jungle of trails leading everywhere.

Gaia may not have been able to read the signs pointing to new sites but she did have a good ear. Gaia pointed at a big marque of gold with ruby letters it showed a book with panels (pictures) of the Creatures at the Zoo. The clicking sound of panels being snapped had to be near the place away from the prison they endured at .

 

[TiredFingers]

Back in his jungle home, Hunter had sometimes used a hidey suit to stalk and kill boar or other larger prey upon which surprise was difficult. The hidey suit was one part blanket, one part coat that chosing cover the baggy from head to toe; depending upon the type of prey and/or environment in which the hunt was being performed, it was made of either plants from that environment to camouflage the hunter or of animal hides doused in the scent of the prey to allow the hunter to blend in with the herd, as if one of them.

Seeing the Yuzan clothing and remembering his hunting ploy, it all came together in an instant for Hunter. Deciding to dress up as one of their alien captors was the easy part; actually doing it was the hard part. The Yuza were, as a species, smaller than Humans. It took Hunter several attempts to find a set of zoo uniform coveralls that would fit his 2 meter height. Gaia's body was easier to hide, but that hair! It took both of the Humans forever to get all of it hidden inside a hat, and even when they were done, Hunter had little hope that they would not immediately be identified and captured.

And yet, somehow, the pair of them were able to leave the building and walk through the park -- casually but with a bit of haste, too -- and reach a less conspicuous corner of the shade forest that was a lunch and relaxing place for Yuza taking a break from visiting the exhibits.

Hunter had never been so scared in his life. He was certain that any moment he and Gaia would be found and killed. They were alien animals loose in a public place filled with children; he had attacked keepers; they surely would be shot to protect the zoo goers, wouldn't they?

As they'd been slipping past otherwise engaged Yuzans and now as they hid in the shadows, Hunter had taken and was now taking notice of the same alien beasts Gaia had seen. He'd never even imagined such creatures before; they were big and small, ugly and beautiful, fierce and gentle. He was truly and quickly beginning to realize that they -- he and Gaia -- had been caged attractions for the Yuzan people. It made him angry, yet somehow it made him feel special: all of these people had come here today and all the days before just to see him and his mate.

After a moment of contemplating their next move, Hunter realized that Gaia was studying an electronic visual display on a wall just a few paces away. He didn't fully understand it; he'd never seen anything like it in his life because the Elders had had the shuttle and all their Earth possessions sunk and hidden in a distant swamp long before his birth. The display changed occasionally to emphasize a new species of zoo inhabitant. Hunter recognized only the 6 that had been introduced to his cage; it would turn out that one of the small mammals the keepers had provided him alive for prey was actually an off world rodent that the Yuza had very successfully bred, so much so that they none used them as feed for many of the carnivores in the zoo.

Suddenly, there were images of Hunter and Gaia. He recognized the photo of Gaia, of course; seeing a visual representation of himself was simply incredible, though. There were no mirrors in his village, no reflective surfaces, and he'd never really looked at his image in the surface of the river.

There was a map with icons indicating the location of the zoo and -- Hunter correctly presumed -- the locations from which he and Gaia had been taken. He looked to her with concern; the two Humans had come from locations very distant from one another. If they were to escape and survive, they had to stay together ... which meant that one of them might never see his or her home ever again.

The display moved on to another alien creature. Hunter had the gist of what the map offered: his village was to the north, and Gaia's village was to the southeast ... twice as far away. The best thing to do in his opinion was to head for his village. He couldn't know the scale of the map, and therefore couldn't know how far away his village might be. It could take the pair off the hours, days, or months ... possibly years.

But first, they had to get out of the zoo. Hunter still had hold of Gaia's hand. He squeezed it, telling her, "I will keep you safe. Hunter will protect Gaia."

He'd been watching, and he'd noticed how patrons of the zoo were using a turnstile to leave the grounds. He also caught sight of a pair of keepers with tranquilizer sticks looking all around the park.

"We leave now," Hunter told Gaia.

He didn't wait for Gaia to respond but instead moved for the exit, pulling Gaia behind him.

(OOC: Gaia's pic link failed. I will fix it.)

 

[LandiKirk]

Gaia saw where Hunter was going and knew they had to be quick. So she followed his lead as she didnt know how to go hi home.

Now they were beyond the gates of the zoo. The parking area stretched out in front of them. Gaia noticed strange machines that floated back and forth.

Suddenly a voice came up behind them and the voice was speaking to Gaia

Hey Ker ' za. Have the boys taken a sample from the human? Did she breed well?

Gaia didn't understand his words at all and looked to Hunter. So she shook her head no.

That's too bad. It would be a good addition to the Zoo's hybrid program. Then he walked into the silver barrier into the zoo.

Gaia looked around and wondered where they would go from here when a golden paper blew into her face. It was a brochure of the zoo and a map of the surrounding area to include Hunter's homeland.

 

[TiredFingers]

The zoo's exhibit area had been unknown and unfamiliar to Hunter, but the area beyond the gate was even more frighteningly amazing. He held Gaia close to him and tried to keep to the shadows or within the little plots of trees and shrubs that seemed to have been intentionally place, rather than natural grown wherever their parent seed or nut fell.

When one of the Yuza spoke directly them, Hunter's already pounding heart leaped. He kept his face away from the man, letting the oversized rain hat hide his Human face and neck. Hunter met Gaia's eyes; he was surprised to find her seemingly less panicked than he was. Could it be that this female was more at ease with their situation? Could she be handling this better than the male hunter? Could her calm and common sense about their flight be what would save them?

Or was Hunter only imagining all of this and he was going to have to beat this Yuzan down, to facilitate their continuing escape?

Hunter released his hold on Gaia, clenched his fists, and turned his head just enough to see the keeper's position relative to him. Hunter was confident that one punch to the Yuzan's face would be enough. But then, in response to a second round of words from the off duty keeper -- who was only just arriving for work -- Gaia shook her head. Hunter was unsure about whether his mate was warning him off of attacking or simply presuming that a head shake meant the same to both species.

Either way, it seemed to work; Gaia had saved the moment, and the Yuzan turned and wandered away. Hunter met the female's eyes again and smiled. He had never been so impressed with someone's smarts before in his life. He glanced back to see the keeper turning his attention to other arriving workings, all dressed similarly to how he and Gaia were.

"You are very smart, Gaia," he told her, adding, "Smarter than Hunter."

A piece of something that looked like Pep Tree bark only much thinner blew up and literally stuck against Gaia's face during a gust of wind. She pulled it down and held it before them; it somewhat resembled the map picture they'd seen on the wall inside the zoo, only this time it was much more detailed.

"It is a picture of where we are," Hunter said, not knowing the word map. "Can you use it?"

They moved to a less conspicuous spot in another small grove of trees, and between them they were able to figure out how to orient the map and find specific features of the land within view. They turned the map over and found a second one, this one covering a much larger area. And right there in the upper left corner was again a rather poor representation of Hunter's Human form and an arrow pointing to a bright red dot.

"My village?" he asked, hoping Gaia believed it all to be true. Turning the map over, studying it, and turning it to the larger map again, between them they came to a tragic conclusion. "It is far away."

Suddenly, there was movement to Hunter's left. Instinctively, he turned and took a defensive stance with fists clenched. Then … he just … stared at the tiny Yuza who was looking up at him with her big eyes and wide smile. Hunter was at a total loss of what to do. Should he punch it and knock it out before it gave them away? Should he turn himself and Gaia away and ignore what he presumed was a child version of their captors? Should they run as fast as they could before anyone noticed?

The toddler spoke to them in incomprehensible words … then offered out an opened bag of some sort of mixed nuts, apparently wanting to share. Hunter looked to Gaia for some indication of what to do; she'd handled the keeper well enough, so, maybe she knew what to do with this Yuza?

 

[LandiKirk]

Gaia breathed a sigh of relief as they were left alone.

"You are very smart, Gaia. Smarter than Hunter."

"Ga I ah ss ma are terr" she mimics with a smile.

A piece of something and it showed many things around them. The zoo, tram stops, sonar center, roads, rivers, places of interest, and a forest to the unknown and a newly discovered settlement.

"It is a picture of where we are," Hunter said. "Can you use it?"


Gaia studied the odd panel then turned it over to discover the panel showed them more ground. A wider view. Gaia pointed st the mountains near the red dot. "Hun teeer tri ba. heem ha oom"

"My village?"

Gaia could see pain in Hunter's eyes. Gaia flipped the panel.again and heard Hiunter say. "It is far away."

Gaia wanted to console Hunter but there was a noise and Gaia was ready to run away but something was different.do she peeked around Hunter's body and saw a.small child like one back in her village. Probably as old as her sister Breeda who was four summers. Gaia crouched down to see what the child wanted.

Are you hungry? The child asks then offered them a sack..

Gaia took some of the offered food and smiled. She stood and gave dome to Hunter then knelt down to the child and gave back the sack . "Ta ank yoo."

The child smiled brightly then gave Gaia the sack. Gaia nodded understanding the innocence they shared. Then Gaia showed her the map and to a building that was near to the forest. The child pointed to her left and Gaia hugged her before standing and waving goodbye.

Gaia looked at the map and turned it so the forest was on the left and looked forward it seemed that they had to go through the city to get back to Hunter's village.

 

[TiredFingers]

Hunter watched the interaction between Gaia and the Yuzan child with both fascination and horror. Regarding the latter, he had too little knowledge about their captor species to know whether or not touching the thing might prove to be hazardous. The child could have toxic skin and be poisonous; it might misunderstand Gaia's motives and bite her or stick her with a venomous tail or nail or spike from its skull. Hell, Hunter didn't know! It might suddenly open that cutely smiling mouth and bite off his new mate's face.

On the other hand, it might be wanting to keep Gaia as a pet. The Human Beings were, after all, seemingly nothing more than animals to be caged and stared upon. On the other other hand, Hunter also harbored a bit of fear that Gaia might want to take the Yuzan as a pet instead. The child was actually kind of cute, which made Hunter wonder if maybe the Yuza as a species weren't so monstrous after all. But then he remembered how cute the young of the Yellow Bellied Mud Weasel were … before they aged, grew their fangs, and became the most vicious pseudo-mammal by weight in the whole of the Central Continent's rainforest.

In the end, though, the Yuzan child helped the Humans, and after Gaia had correctly oriented the map, the pair of them were off once again. Just in time, too, as the situation back in their enclosure had been handled -- the Hurnkan Lizard had had to be killed -- and the Human Beings' absence from their captivity had been verified. The zoo's security hadn't wanted to cause a panic, so they hadn't energized the facility wide alarm siren. But they did have every keeper, guard, vendor, and exhibit volunteer on the look out for the escapees.

Hunter led Gaia along the edge of the unusually hard packed ground painted with variously colored lines and shapes. He kept them away from the hovering machines filled with Yuza males, females, and children of both genders. Twice, youngsters caught sight of the strange looking keepers, pointed, and tried to bring their parents' attention to Hunter and Gaia. But the former only turned his head and stepped in front of his mate to better hide her, before continuing up the slight slope toward a thick forest on the hill's top.

Soon, they were in the ever-thickening undergrowth of the woods, following a packed trail covered by wood bark. They occasionally saw Yuza who seemed to be walking the path with no hurry or true purpose. They seemed to just be out enjoying the air, scenery, or birds and other animals in the trees; they carried no weapons or dead prey, no baskets of gathered nuts or berries or weaving grasses. Each time they saw Yuza, Hunter and Gaia moved off the main trail to a smaller one; if they were already on a smaller one, they moved into the forest itself.

It was four hours before he felt clear enough from the zoo and the forest-enjoying Yuza to stop. They were both exhausted from the mostly uphill trek over sometimes rough ground. They'd left the last trail behind more than an hour ago, and Hunter believed they were no longer in serious danger of being recaptured.

They stopped at a small, clear stream for a badly needed drink. Hunter caught sight of movement in a small pool, and with a branch broken from a nearby tree, he speared them a fish nearly as long as his forearm. Using his bare hands, Hunter ripped out the fish's innards and tore off its head before running it back and forth a couple of dozen times to knock off the vast majority of its hard scales. He washed it off, took a bit bite out of it, and chewed the raw meat and soft, digestible bones as he offered the carcass to Gaia.

"You will be a good mother to my children," he complimented seemingly out of nowhere. He continued, "Gaia is smart, and she is strong, and she is shaped for birthing healthy baby."

 

[LandiKirk]

Gaia followed Hunter now that they knew where they were going. It was most of the daylight to reach the place called forest and moving into the heart of this place was just as scary as the enclosure at the zoo.

Still she noticed Hunter was more at ease being here. Which made it easier to relax. Then Hunter found water and Gaia dropped to her knees to drink its refreshing taste.

Hunter nearly scared her to run away while catching a fish. He moved so swift and it seemed like watching a fittcha (type of alien frog) cast out its tongue and catch food.

Gaia watched as Hunter cleaned the animal from the waters. It was bigger then one she saw back in her village. That was what made it interesting to watch how Hunter prepared it so she could do it correctly in the future.

Now she was handed the fish. Naturally she sniffed it before taking an bite next to where Hunter did. It was different but good. Gaia took two more bites and handed it back to Hunter.

"You will be a good mother to my children,"

Gaia looked up to his face and tilted her brow. Now her heart sank some, he had another woman who gave him children.

"Gaia is smart, and she is strong, and she is shaped for birthing healthy baby."

There was a word she didnt understand so she asked innocently. "Ware Hon teerr bay bee?"

 

[TiredFingers]

"Ware Hon teerr bay bee?"

It took Hunter a moment to interpret the female's words, and even when he did understand her, he didn't. Then it came to him; she thought he'd meant Gaia would be a good mother to his existing children. He laughed, bit into the fish once again, chewed, and swallowed.

"Gaia will be a good mother to Hunter's new children," he clarified. He moved a bit closer to her, reached out slowly, paused when she reacted, then reached again until his opened hand lay on her belly. "Hunter will put a baby inside Gaia. Gaia will be mother to Hunter and Gaia's baby. Understand?"

He sat back again to bite into the fish again as he studied her. And he realized that his cock was getting hard at the thoughts of once again breeding with the female.

 

[LandiKirk]

When Hunter laughed Gaia had a good feeling inside. She didnt understand why he laughed or maybe it was his way of telling Gaia that she was always his and that made her very happy.

"Gaia will be a good mother to Hunter's new children,"

Gaia looked at Hunter shyly as her hair fell from the hat and hid part of her face from view. "Ware naeoo?"

When he moved closer Gaia wasn't sure what he was going to do. Naturally she moved back not wanting to provoke any anger. Still he touched her belly.

"Hunter will put a baby inside Gaia. Gaia will be mother to Hunter and Gaia's baby. Understand?"

Gaia opened the coat and looked at her middle. She didn't see this baby that Hunter spoke of. However she quickly noticed the way Hunter acted seeing her bare flesh. His eyes filled with a hungered look which made her nervous. "Na oow?"

 

[TiredFingers]

Hunter's penis was already stiffening at the thought of once again breeding with the female. Seeing Gaia open the front of her keeper uniform, exposing the majority of her body only caused his semi-rigid manhood to spring to full stiffness over the seconds to come.

"Yes, now," Hunter said softly. He opened the front of his stolen suit as well, pulling it off his shoulders and slipping his arms out. "Hunter put baby inside Gaia now."

Hunter pulled the lower front of his coveralls open, exposing his now fully stiffened manhood, then moved closer to Gaia, unsure of how she would react. If she did nothing to stop him, he would politely strip the keeper clothes from her, lay her back on the soft, grassy and mossy ground, and slip in between her thighs...

 

[LandiKirk]

"Yes, now,"

Gaia watched Hunter strip away the clothing and heard his vow of planting life.

"Hunter put baby inside Gaia now."

Gaia became nervous as the memory of his flesh so hard and upright brought her pain she never knew before. She also worried about how much it would hurt this time as he looked bigger then last time too. Gaia hadn't moved away but she didn't come closer either.

 

[TiredFingers]

Hunter couldn't help but notice the hesitation in Gaia's expression and body language; she didn't want to have sex with him, plain and simple. He ceased his quest to undress her and asked, "Does Gaia not want to have Hunter's baby?"

The man from the rainforest found this concept simply baffling. No breeder in his village would have denied Hunter; his seed was considered a very valuable commodity back home as he was intelligent, sensible, fit and strong, and vulnerable to none of the ailments with which this alien planet had subjected the Human Beings.

The breeding plan that the Elders and, more specifically, the Matriarchs had devised had been very successful in creating a Human population of the most diverse genetic makeup. The 6 males and 10 females had mixed and matched to produce at least one child of each gender from each possible coupling. Some of the younger females had had to wait for their bodies to be ready to birth a child without age related complications, of course; the two young males had waited a couple of years as well, but as they weren't the ones carrying and popping out children, they'd been able to become involved far younger than would have been appropriate and legal back on the Home World of these aliens

There were some setbacks along the way, of course. Four of the original shuttle survivors died before they were able to contribute their DNA to the Breeding Wheel. And Yuza III did its best to kill off this alien infestation called Human Beings, too; the mortality rate had been tragic in those early years, with 40% of the Yuza-borne dying before reaching breeding age.

The weak and vulnerable were weeded out, though, and the survivors became stronger and able to survive in this new world of theirs. A new group of Bucks would eventually became available, offering their seed to the Wheel; the first of the new Does would begin breeding 5 years after that.

By the time Hunter was born, the village had a population of 140; that number now stood at almost 300. The vast majority of these were children below the age of breeding, but 52 of them were breeding age females. Of those, 22 were distant enough from Hunter's own bloodline to allow scheduled breeding with them. Hunter had bred with all 22 at least once and most of them three or four times. He'd fathered 41 children over the past 9 years -- 6 had unfortunately died -- and at this moment was responsible for 9 of the yet-to-be-born in his village.

"Hunter's babies are very good babies," he explained to Gaia, not realizing that her hesitance was in having to relive the pain he'd caused her when he'd taken her virginity. "Strong boys and fertile girls."

As he waited for her response, Hunter realized that while proud of having fathered all those children, a baby made with Gaia might be most important child he'd ever created. Although he hadn't told Gaia this and really didn't even want to think it, there was a good possibility that the two of them might never again see his village, his people, and his offspring, let alone see Gaia's, which likely was in the opposite direction. A child produced with her might very well be the 3rd member of a very small and very new village in the Equatorial Continent of Yuza III.

 

[LandiKirk]

"Does Gaia not want to have Hunter's baby?"

Then he looked more confused then she felt.

Hunter's babies are very good babies,"

Gaia tilted her head so Hunter could see she was listening to him. "Ga ood?"

"Strong boys and fertile girls." Hunter's face was full of pride as Gaia still remained in that one spot

Gaia looked at Hunter then said plainly " nao ba bee. Hon tterr nao hertzz Ga I ah gan. Ga I ah wan smm all won."

There was his answer but would he understand she was giving consent for planting a small one as long as he didnt hurt her. What made it comical was she didnt see a baby and a small one were the same thing.

 

[TiredFingers]

Hunter very quickly understood what the issue was: Gaia had never been told how babies were made. He smiled a bit wider, amused; he sat back away from her and simply studied her face. She was an adult woman, easily into breeding age. So, how was it that she'd never been told what Earth humans had once jokingly called the birds and the bees?

"Oh, Gaia," Hunter murmured softly, contemplating what to do next about this situation. He finally decided that this was not the time for a lesson in sex and procreation. Instead he gestured for her to close her clothes again. "We'll talk about this later."

Hunter did fully remove his own keeper uniform, however. When the lizard attack began in the enclosure, he had been wearing the butt flap Gaia had made him out of the boar hide. She had been naked, though, washing herself in one of the pools. He found a large stone, broke it over another one, and had a sharp edge available for his first task. Using the edge, he cut the legs of his coveralls into strips, then used those strips to wrap and secure the remains of the clothes to both his and Gaia's feet. They were uncomfortable, a result of having to be so tight to keep them on. But they would protect them well in this terrain that was rougher than that which either of them had grown up.

They set off again, following the creek downstream until it met with another one that led to the north, toward where Gaia believed the dot represented his village. They pushed on until after the sun had fallen behind the mountains to the west. The shadows were deepening, and the temperature had dropped dramatically. They had to stop soon or begin to feel the effects of exposure.

Hunter speared another fish in the creek after telling Gaia to forage for food. He then followed an animal trail a couple of dozen meters up a steep hill and found a small cave. It had once been occupied by some unidentified beast, but his experience told Hunter that it had been long abandoned. He called Gaia up the hill as he began gathering tender and wood for a fire. He was already beginning to tremble from the deepening chill when his mate arrived.

Within minutes, he had struck up a roaring fire using a stone and one of the metal fasteners he had collected from his destroyed keeper clothes. They prepared the food, fed the fire once more, and headed into the cave that was barely large enough for the two of them. Now with very little on, Hunter cautiously indicated to Gaia that she needed to share her warmth with him. He urged her close to him, wrapped his arms and legs around her, and held her close. The heat radiating from the fire in the mouth of the tiny hole in the mountain reflected off the stone to heat Hunter's backside just enough to keep him from freezing.

With his head right next to Gaia's -- his mouth near her ear -- he explained in a soft voice, "Gaia thinks Hunter meant to hurt her when he put himself inside her. Hunter was not trying to hurt Gaia. Hunter was trying to put his seed inside Gaia. Hunter was trying to put baby inside Gaia. That is how Gaia will get Hunter's baby. Hunter's seed in Gaia's belly … in her baby garden … that will make baby inside Gaia."

He reached to grasp a piece of wood, handed it to Gaia who sat between him and the flames, and told her to add it to the fire. He continued, "Sometimes, planting baby inside hurts. Hunter is sorry he hurt Gaia. But to make baby, sometimes hurt."

Hunter twisted Gaia's upper half to her left so that they could look into each other's eyes. He put his left hand cautiously on her face, continuing, "Hunter would not hurt Gaia if not have to to make baby. First time hurt, yes...? Next time, not hurt. Not much."

Then, he did something he rarely did with the breeders in the village, something he generally saved for when he was fucking for the sheer pleasure of it. He pulled Gaia's face toward his with the intention of kissing her. It wasn't not part of breeding, of course; it was only about pleasure, about tempting a reluctant female into pleasure by showing her gentleness, passion, and intimacy. Since Gaia didn't know about breeding, Hunter thought that perhaps kissing her might help calm her and make her more open to his intruding upon her womanhood yet again.

 

[LandiKirk]

Hunter was from a different tribe then Gaia so they had very different upbringings. Where creating children was vital to his people's survival. Gaia's was relaxed and a fairly large family. Gaia was still called daughter and wasn't considered as a necessity to increase the population of her tribe.

But she had been gone from her people for four years and matured to be considered for promising. Promising was as important to her people as the land itself. A daughter would go to the man that promised her father a price and to forever be her protector, mate, and Elder to the tribe. Gaia's secondary problem was Wynn, her father wasn't here to make the arrangement of marriage or promising as they called the joining of two bodies always.

They moved deeper to the east before finding a safe place to rest. Gaia noticed it was colder here in the woods then she knew before. Hunter may have urged her closer but she would have sought him out when she got colder.

"Gaia thinks Hunter meant to hurt her when he put himself inside her. Hunter was not trying to hurt Gaia. Hunter was trying to put his seed inside Gaia. Hunter was trying to put baby inside Gaia. That is how Gaia will get Hunter's baby. Hunter's seed in Gaia's belly … in her baby garden … that will make baby inside Gaia."

Gaia listened quietly as Hunter spoke. His words opened another aspect that she was clueless about.. Gaia took the wood and moved it into the fire as he nodded.

"Sometimes, planting baby inside hurts. Hunter is sorry he hurt Gaia. But to make baby, sometimes hurt."

Gaia felt bad that Hunter suffered with pain in his heart. This need to make a baby was very important to him. His touch soothing away doubts and fears as his voice continues speaking truth.

"Hunter would not hurt Gaia if not have to to make baby. First time hurt, yes...? Next time, not hurt. Not much."

Then Hunter placed his mouth close to hers. Gaia hoped he wouldn't bite her as she has seen her brothers do to their mates. Then the tender touch built a warmness inside her belly and she encircled his neck with both of her arms. "Hon tterr pom is. Ga I ah hees ma tah fur evr."

 

[TiredFingers]

With all the differences between their tribes, Hunter was relieved to see that kissing wasn't one of them. While it was apparent that she knew what kissing was, it was all too obvious to Hunter that Gaia hadn't kissed a man before or hadn't kissed one much. He pressed his mouth to hers softly for a moment, pulled away, then kissed her with his lips wetted by his tongue.

"Hon tterr pom is. Ga I ah hees ma tah fur evr."

Hunter considered her words for a moment, realizing that she was saying she would be his mate forever. That made him wonder about her people and their customs regarding mating. Gaia seemed to be indicating that she would be his and only his. If that was what she'd meant, should Hunter explain to her that if they ever did reach his village, she would be expected to conceive children with many men over the course of her breeding years?

No. He wouldn't do that now. It would be moot if they never reached the distant village. There were so many dangers between here and there. And right now, the only thing Hunter really wanted was to release yet another load of his seed inside this warm, comforting body against which his own body was so enjoyably pressing.

"Gaia will be Hunter's mate forever," he told her. It wasn't a lie … not yet. They may never get out of these woods, which would mean he'd been telling her the truth. And if one of them was killed by one of those great dangers -- many of which even Hunter was unaware -- then it didn't really matter what he told her. He added, "And Hunter will be Gaia's mate forever."

He turned her a bit more so that she was nearly facing him, sitting there between his parted thighs and slightly raised knees. Hunter hugged her to him with one hand and held her neck and skull with the other as he pressed his mouth to hers again. He let his lips direct her as his first Pleasure Mate had taught him when he was a young man. The Pleasure Mates were females who used sex for the purpose of, what else, pleasure. Some of them were breeders, too; they engaged in sex when they were between breeding periods or after it had been decided that they were to no longer conceive more children.

Hunter's first and still favorite Pleasure Mate had been a four-years-older women named Lorris. She'd spent hours with Hunter that first night, driving him to so many orgasms that he'd finally passed out from the delightful exhaustion she'd caused. She'd used her mouth on his manhood, which he'd initially thought strange but later enjoyed almost as much as intercourse.

More importantly, though, Lorris had taught him how to please a new breeder with his fingers and mouth, to cause pleasure in her body that often made their first breeding easier and less painful. Hunter should have used these techniques last night when he intruded upon Gaia's garden. But he'd been full of lust for her and … well … what happened happened.

Now, though, Hunter lowered his hand from her face to her collar bone, then to a breast, which he gently squeezed. He toyed his thumb upon her nipple and reveled in her reaction to the gesture. He continued to kiss her when she wasn't pulling back to observe what he was doing.

"I'm going to touch you between your legs, Gaia … at the gate to your garden," he told her with a soft tone. "Do not be afraid. Hunter will not hurt you. I will show you how your gate can be opened so that Hunter hurts you less … maybe not hurt any … when he plants his seed in your garden."

He began caressing his hand down her rib cage and belly, and if she didn't stop him, he would ever so carefully begin caressing her womanhood … and … if all went well … gently insert a finger inside her while his thumb manipulated her Gate Watcher, the most sexually sensitive part of most women's bodies.

"Gaia will be Hunter's mate forever,"

That was all it took and now Gaia yielded.

"And Hunter will be Gaia's mate forever."

Gaia looked to the sky and said something "Wakan Takan Kici Un."

Then she kissed Hunter gently and took his hands " Ga I ahs Hon tterr."

His kisses on her breast made her shiver some but it was an excited sensation. Gaia gasps as his hand moves along her body. She never had someone touch her so intimately before.

"I'm going to touch you between your legs, Gaia … at the gate to your garden,"

Gaia furrowed her brows but didnt pull away. His words were like honey to her ears now for he was hers and she his.

"Do not be afraid. Hunter will not hurt you. I will show you how your gate can be opened so that Hunter hurts you less … maybe not hurt any … when he plants his seed in your garden."

Gaia relaxed and parted her legs slightly. Her fingers reaching out to touch his manroot whispering "Hon tterr pa lant sm all won enn Ga i ah."

She did it, she allowed Hunter to go ahead and this night Gaia believed the Great Grandfather of the stars would open her garden and let Hunter fill her with seed to make many small ones

Hunter's hand caressed its way down Gaia's wonderful body, over her curly muff of kinky hair, and into between her thighs. He moved slowly; even though she seemed to have accepted what he was doing, Hunter still didn't want to frighten her with intimate acts that she'd never experienced before. He pressed his fingers against her outer labia, then aligned them with her slit. Then, slowly, he pressed one in between her lips to find her warm, moist inner folds.

In between soft, erotic kisses, Hunter watched Gaia closely for her reaction to all he was doing. She still seemed a bit uneasy, but that could have simply been Hunter's own fear of scaring her playing out in his own mind. He gently slid his finger up and down the exterior of her opening, then ever so slowly pushed his middle finger inside her, one knuckle at a time until finally the finger was buried as far as it could be.

"No hurt this time?" he asked in whisper, hoping for an affirmative response. Either way, he would continue, but it would be nice to believe she wasn't regretting this due discomfort. Hunter pressed his thumb to Gaia's inner folds, wetting it thoroughly, then traced it up her womanhood to find her Gate Watcher. As he gently manipulated her clitoris in little circles, he asked her, "Does Gaia like this? Does Gaia feel good?"

 

[LandiKirk]

Gaia felt his finger slide into her and she noticed her belly tremble and wetness build. Gaia wondered if she was leaking waters that pass (pee). She gasps as her inner muscles tease his finger with a catch and release.

As Hunter kisses her lips she finds her teeth nipping his lip and her body shifted up to his hand. His finger deeply wedged in her brought out a garbled purring moan

"No hurt this time?"

Gaia mumbled "Honn tterr nao hertzz. "

His touch excited her body and she moved to him again. Then she heard his voice over the loud pounding of her heart.

"Does Gaia like this? Does Gaia feel good?"

Gaia responded with another garbled purr. Then her primitive manner took over as she rolled to be on top and his manroot was planted deep within her womb. "Hau ga ood"

Now she nodded and waited for Hunter to roll her and plant his promised seed. Gaia was ready to become a woman.

 

[TiredFingers]

"Take off," Hunter told Gaia as he tugged at the shoulder of the keeper's uniform. "The fire will keep you warm. I will keep you warm."

The coveralls were already unfastened clear to her groin, so he pulled it from each of her shoulders and urged her to slip it down farther. Once it was free of her arms, Hunter easily pulled it down to free up her midsection, including her buttocks and groin. If it hadn't been so big on her, Hunter would have had to remove it entirely to be able to get inside her. As it was, he simply laid back on the soft dirt floor of the little cave, parted Gaia's knees about his own thighs, and pulled her into place. With some skilled maneuvering, the bulbous head of his manroot found the female's wetness. And with a gentle push, he penetrated her this-time pre-stretched opening … and sunk into her slowly.

Gaia was still tight, though, and felt so incredible as Hunter slipped inside her. He took it easier this time, watching his partner's expressions and judging her body language. Soon enough, though, he was balls deep inside her tightness. He kissed her again, passionately, then whispered to her, "Gaia makes Hunter feel good. Feel good … pleasure. You know word pleasure? Gaia's pleasure is good … makes Hunter pleasure … makes Hunter give her his seed … plant baby in Gaia's garden."

He moved his hips a bit as he grasped Gaia's buttocks inside the coveralls. "Move like this to make pleasure … to make baby. Gaia is on top. Gaia does as she pleasures."

Hunter couldn't know whether she was understanding anything he meant. She knew the words, all except for maybe that last one. But knowing the words and interpreting them in the right way … well … there had been a lot that Gaia had said in the last two days that Hunter hadn't understood, so...

 

[LandiKirk]

Take off, The fire will keep you warm. I will keep you warm."
Gaia began to take the top off as Hunter asked.

After some moving about Gaia felt Hunter enter her body and found it pleasing and softly moaned as his manroot sought the right place. The gliding of flesh moving deeper made her squirm and tremble as her muscles tugged his flesh. The heat she felt over her whole body was making her yearn and silently hope to be as Hunter put it. Fertile.

"Gaia makes Hunter feel good. Feel good … pleasure. You know word pleasure? Gaia's pleasure is good … makes Hunter pleasure … makes Hunter give her his seed … plant baby in Gaia's garden."

Gaia nodded then mimicked " mmm geeve ssseeda"

Gaia rubbed his belly as they mated then rolled her eyes. This mating gave her such wonderous feelings

"Move like this to make pleasure … to make baby. Gaia is on top. Gaia does as she pleasures."

Gaia lifted her hips and bounced against his crotch. It did feel good and she began to kiss him back as passionately as he gave.

 

[TiredFingers]

This time around, the sex was much better for the both of them. Gaia was still very tight and inexperienced, and Hunter could see the occasional grimace of slight pain and he sunk deep within her. But after a couple of minutes, those expressions faded and all he saw in her face was the joy of sexual pleasure.

"Yes, Gaia, yes," Hunter told her in between kisses as she bounced her lower body over his own. She had very quickly come to understand what made her feel good and was setting herself in a repeating movement. It was fantastic for Hunter as well, and he knew that within a couple of minutes he would once again be filling her womb with his seed. He reached to grasp her hips to help her moved, telling her, "Gaia make Hunter feel good. So good. Gaia good at making baby. Gaia good at making pleasure."

He kept his eyes on the female's face at all times, watching for signs that she was enjoying herself. Although they were breeding for the purpose of conceiving a child, Hunter say no reason why they couldn't enjoy themselves, too. He was! He knew what it was for a female to orgasm; the Pleasure Mates, after all, didn't fuck outside of the guidelines of the Breeding Wheel solely for the pleasure of their male lovers. And Hunter knew that if what they did here caused Gaia to achieve orgasm, she would be more inclined to seek pleasure in the future … which meant greater odds of her birthing him a son and daughter.

 

[LandiKirk]

"Yes, Gaia, yes,"

Gaia thrilled to his praises and came to enjoy these kisses. There were a few times his manroot raked the sides of her path. She felt his cock twitch when her muscles would capture his manroot. It gave her a greater sense of belonging

"Gaia make Hunter feel good. So good. Gaia good at making baby. Gaia good at making pleasure."

It came, his manroot slammed forward and entered the womb . Gaia cried out as her body quakes with an intense orgasm. Her muscles clenched on his manroot and refused to let him move. This tugging brought life to Hunter and his manroot flowed hot fire into her. Gaia clung to Hunter as her spasms were strong and matched the sound of her heart.

Now Gaia understood Hunter's word pleasures and it wasn't as horrible as the first time.

 

[TiredFingers]

Hunter was overjoyed at seeing the woman above him suddenly engulfed in a powerful orgasm. Despite her vagina clenching down around his penis, he attempted to continue thrusting inside of her. Then he realized, it didn't matter; his own climax was just seconds away. With his hands still reaching into the partially removed keeper coveralls, he grasped her ass in both hands and pulled their bodies tightly together. A moment later, as Gaia trembled atop him in ecstasy, Hunter's manroot began filling her up and the euphoria swept through him as well.

They lay there for the longest time, their chests swelling and abating against one another in the aftermath of their nearly simultaneous orgasms. Hunter pulled his hands from within Gaia's borrowed uniform, then pulled it upwards to cover her back and most of her shoulders. Their internal heat would soon give way, and they would once again become aware of the night's growing cold.

"Gaia know pleasure of making baby now," Hunter said softly as he reached up to take hold of her head, lifting her face from where it had been buried in the crook of his neck. He brought their lips together for a soft but erotic kiss. "Hunter pleasure Gaia now and will pleasure her more in times to come, yes?"

They kissed and talked, and when a chill ran up his spine, he pulled his manroot out of her, helped her to her haunches, and then helped her back into the coveralls. He excused himself to get more firewood; by the time he returned his nearly naked body was trembling to the bone. But the fire began to roar once more in the entrance to the tiny cave, and the warmth of it mixed well with that of Gaia once Hunter sat and pulled her into his wrapping arms and legs once more.

"Gaia happy with Hunter?" he asked softly. He listened to her answer, then finished, "Gaia sleep now."
