Page 19 of Subchief Flander

“Let me walk you to your room," Flander suggested.

She thought about refusing, but then she just nodded. Hel was too tired to try to figure him out. Did he prefer to do this in a bedroom, or was he just letting her down easy? He escorted her down the hallway to her room.

“Ask me in.”

“Come in if you want," Hel said.

He did and kicked the door closed. This time, he picked Hel up and carried her to her bed. After he laid her on it, he began to undress. Gods, he had the perfect body for a warrior. She could find no fault with it. Hel knew it felt good to touch, and she could see that it felt good to look at. The male was muscled like a warrior should be, with a narrow waist moving up to broad shoulders and arms that looked like they could lift a mountain. She'd always loved his lips. Now she knew how good they could feel. When he pulled off his pants, she was surprised at how large he was. Maybe she shouldn't have been since she had felt it pressed against her, and he had a massive package. It worried her because she was small and tight. That would be even worse this time since no one had ever been there.

“Aren't you going to get undressed?” Flander wondered.

Hel began to remove her clothing, but she was too slow for him, so he helped her. She felt the cool air hit her hot skin and got goosebumps. He kissed her, and then his mouth began to move down her neck and to her breasts. First one, then the other, as he slowly sucked them in until they were hard. His fingers feathered their way down her stomach to the point between her legs and slid into her slickened center. His tongue moved to her clit, which he began to circle. That felt amazing, and she just wanted more.

She began to lift towards him, and her hands sank into his hair so that he wouldn't quit what he was doing. This wasamazing and made her wish she had done it sooner, except that she couldn't because he hadn't been available then. Hel stopped thinking and just tried to enjoy everything he did to her. Something inside was building, and she wanted it to continue. She sensed that she was about to reach the end of something, and she wanted it badly.

“Don't stop!” She moaned.

He didn't, and he continued what he was doing, but now he moved faster, and that was both his fingers that were moving in and out rapidly and his tongue that was circling her clit faster and faster. There was a pinch, but she ignored it, and the pain disappeared. Suddenly, she exploded, and the feeling was incredible. Hel cried out with pleasure, and her hips bucked. Her hands gripped him, and she was willing to let him go. Her breathing was faster, but it began to slow down. Flander slid up her body, and his enormous cock began to inch its way in.

It amazed her that it seemed to make its way inside her. She'd expected more pain, but apparently, he'd prepared her in the best possible way. There was little pain and a whole lot of pleasure. Flander began to move slowly, but she wanted more. She wrapped her legs around his hips and pulled up every time he pushed down, making them slam together. That felt amazing. He sped up, seeming to realize what she wanted. What amazed her was that it wasn't long before she began to feel that explosion building again.

That feeling was building, and she knew it wouldn't be long. Flander began to pound into her, and she felt his tongue lick her neck. It felt good, too, but it seemed out of place. The lick seemed to set off the explosion raced over her, and she felt a pinch on her neck. That set off another explosion, and it seemed to go on and on. Her mouth had a funny taste, and she realizedshe had bitten him too. Maybe biting was a thing that occurred during sex.

He fell, moved off her onto the side, and lay there as they both gasped for breath. That had just been a hell of an exercise session. As breathing became easier, she thought about things like that he hadn't worn protection. Maybe he didn't realize that she didn't have or take anything to prevent pregnancy. Perhaps once wouldn't matter, and they'd be fine. Hel had enjoyed what they'd just done and hoped they would do it again. She understood now how easy it was to fall into a relationship and be addicted to the sex.

Flander moved and curled around her, and they both fell asleep. She was so exhausted that she was still tired when she woke up. Her alarm hadn't gone off yet, but she felt it was time to get up. He was still with her, although she wasn't sure why because men usually left early. She wasn't sure what it all meant, but she would figure it out. Hel got up and went to the bathroom to shower and dress. Although she was tired, he was still in bed, but at least he was moving around, so she didn't have to worry about him. His eyes opened, and he looked at her.

“I'm sorry for not asking you. Okay, maybe I'm not sorry because I've wanted to be with you for so long," Flander observed.

“I'm not sure what you mean.”

“Do you know nothing about mating?”

“Not much because no one wanted to discuss it with me when I asked questions," Hel admitted.

“I mated you last night, and you're mine. That's just the way it is. It will not change unless one of us dies.”

Holy shit! Was that true? If it was, how did she feel about it? There was a time when she wanted his attention more than anything. The question was, did she still want that now? If she decided that she didn't, what would she do with Flander? She would have to work this out, and her room wasn't the place to do it. She left and figured that he would get ready and go alone. Hopefully, he would remember to lock her door, not that she had many valuables in her room.

Hel wondered what kind of life they might have together. Did he want children? Of course, he did because all Majuri warriors wanted children. But did she want children? She did. Unfortunately, they wouldn't have her sister's children to play with because they were too old. Lane was too young and wouldn't have children until hers were teenagers. He didn't even have a genuine interest in girls yet, though that might come soon. Her life was too crazy because she was a warrior, and there was no time for children yet.

Maybe she just needed to leave thoughts of a family alone and worry about what kind of couple they might make. After all, that was where everything started. Moving toward the cafeteria, Hel felt sore all over. It wasn't necessarily a bad sore because it reminded her of what they had done last night, which had been fabulous. As she entered the cafeteria, everyone looked at her, and she remembered that the warriors would be able to smell the mating. They would probably even know who she was mated to. Her face heated, and she knew she was perhaps a bright red.

All she could do was ignore it, and she filled her tray with extra food because she was especially hungry, and they would notice that, too. She wondered what ability she would pick up because her sister had picked up several after she had mated. Extra talent was never a bad thing. It made her wonder what extra talent Flander would pick up from her. Ranni had pickedup some from her sister, Kasey. Hel wasn't sure what talent she had that Flander wasn't already better in. All the physical areas he could beat her in. The guy was already smart. So, what could he possibly gain from her?

Her squad looked up at her but said nothing. The surprise was that no one looked like they didn't know already. The surprise wasn't that they had mated but that Flander wanted to. It was something they had expected would happen eventually. Why hadn't she seen it? All she'd seen was disinterest in him. Was she so blind to the emotions that Flander felt? Apparently, that was the way things were. Everyone had seen it but her.

The guys were eating quickly, so she ate to replenish her energy. Today, they would be going to the new base and doing as much as they could. There were issues that they would need to deal with, and safety was the most important one. Safety bunkers were what they wanted to manufacture, and these would keep the people safe from all but the worst attacks. These would be put together, and families would get priority on using them.

Others would find what safety they could, and warriors were never safe under battle conditions. They would fight and die if necessary. She looked up and saw Flander had joined them. There was no place to sit but across from her. Hel tried to concentrate on her food but looked at him occasionally. What could she say? He was nice to look at. The other guys were finished eating. She was usually last, but today, she beat Flander.

Hel wondered how they would get so many buildings built. Refugees had flooded the base, and places to live were needed. They couldn't bring any more refugees there until most of those there were settled. That was the way that things were done. A bit of doubling or even tripling app was allowable, and they even had people camped out for a certain amount of time, but thechaos they had at the camp was unacceptable and could not be continued. All of them would dig in and work as hard as they could. Her job was often easier because she would find people among the refugees trained to do specific jobs, and they would put them to use.

This was something she was good at, and it would help. Flander finally finished eating, and they all headed to the shuttle with some available other people, or maybe he'd even volunteered. The planet wasn't far, and after landing, everyone left the shuttle and headed to their assigned place. She headed to an office and immediately reviewed the refugees' records. The skills and abilities that the last group had were amazing. She'd recognized a few names from Purgatory, and these were talented, capable people who could be put to better use working for Mercury.

That was impossible, but she'd discuss it with Kasey later. Meanwhile, she'd found cooks, builders, and a lady with experience supervising a cleaning crew. There was also an experienced maintenance boss. It was like hitting oil. This would help them both on the planet and on the ship. Hel was pleased with her work. It was lunch time, and she decided she needed her energy, so she went to the cafeteria. Her squad was there, but they finished their meal while she was just beginning. She felt like she was starving, and the food had a powerful scent. It was a good one, but more than she usually noticed.

Could it be that her sense of smell had improved, or was she just imagining it? Time would tell. Hel would keep a close eye on things. Her whole life would change now, but she didn't want to think about that now. Her squad finished their food, and they all left without a word. She didn't mind. What was there to say anyway? Hel could only hope the changes would come slowly.
