But.

That’snot all they did.

Growlingunder my breath when my eyes land on the frackin scales that run the length of my forearms,Ireflect on just how differentIam.Frackingfaeries also dabbled in gene splicing in their attempt to create the perfect warrior to serve them.I, and several of my brothers, were spliced with a now extinct reptilian species.Thesegenetics presented in a variety of ways with all of us, but over the years, we have all somewhat, come to terms with what was done to us.

Myscales run along the entire length of my body along my backside.Essentially, my back is protected by armor-plated scales that are extremely difficult to penetrate.Thespines that cover my back and shoulders are longer with serrated edges on them, which makes them far more deadly than some of my other brothers.Flexingmy fingers,Iwatch as talons sprout from their tips and click against the cleansing stall wall.

Howis she ever going to see me past all of this…?

Thegods ofRukoffer me no answer to my unspoken question.

Thenthere is my pivy, cock, prick, whatever one wants to call my member.Iknow what a human male sexual organ looks like… and mine is nothing like what she has seen before.Mymating collar extends from my throat all the way down to the back of my pivy, where it spirals up the length of my hard flesh.Blatantlyshowcasing that my entire body belongs to my mate, but it also accentuates the fact thatIam not only considerably larger in girth and length than a human male, my scales are also present along the length of my cock, making it textured.Unfortunately, the differences do not end there.Ihave never performed an in-depth medical examination on my brothers at the genetic level, butIdid one on myself.ThereptilianDNAthat was forced into my body also modified my reproductive genes to a drastic degree.

Inot only ejaculate seed, butIalso possess an ovipositor that will lock with my mate’s womb to ensure she cannot escape implantation of my eggs.Thismeans she will always carry multiple offspring, should we ever choose to have them.Mybody will force an egg upon her that will absorb herDNAto create our child, but my seed will not only fertilize her existing eggs to create another life, but will ensure my egg is also viable.Thisis a closely guarded secret; oneIhave never revealed to anyone… nor haveIever lain with a female.Icould not risk the chance of leaving an egg in a station worker, even thoughIcreated a hormonal implant to null my fertility.

99.9% certainty was not enough when a possible youngling was at risk.

Reachingdown,Igrab hold of my turgid length with my calloused hand, groaning asIbegin vigorously stroking myself up and down.Itdoes not take long for me to bring myself to completion asIpaint the wall with my spend andIwatch the tip of my ovipositor emerges from my pivy as it tries to latch onto a mate that is not there.Theorgasm is shallow and only offers a modicum amount of relief.Mybody knows that it is mated, and my rough fist will no longer suffice.

Forcingmyself to focus,Ifinish washing myself and turn the water off before stepping under the dryer.Thewarm air feels good on my bare hide as it evaporates the water droplets clinging to me.Ignoringmy reflection in the looking glass,Ileave the cleansing room and snag a pair of my sleep pants, pulling them on asIgrab my medical tablet.Ihave not checked my mate’s vitals in some time and the need to do so is an itch under my scales.

Eyeslocked on the screen in front of me,Iwalk into the med bay and consequently drop my tablet at the sight that greets me.

Mymate is sitting up in bed, fully awake, and her glorious breasts are out on display.Deliciouslooking peaks that make my mouth water to taste them tip both globes.Theyare even more alluring without metal ruining the perfection of her body.Thesight before me engorges my pivy in nano-tics, as ifIhad not just pleasured myself to completion moments ago.Freezingin place, my eyes feast on her body before trailing up to her precious, little face.Iallow her to look her fill asIbelong to her just as much as she belongs to me.Nomatter that she will most assuredly not want to be my mate.Thedamage done to her body is indicative of many years’ worth of torture.

Eventually, she realizes her partial nudity because she pulls the warming sheet up while drawing her knees to her torso before wrapping her tiny arms around herself in a protective fashion.Imust tread very, very carefully.

Onewrong word andIwill lose her.Gentlyclearing my throat,Itake a small step toward her, only to stop when she tenses.

“Greetings, little one.Myname isEinar.MayIask what you are called?”

ChapterTwenty-Eight

ROWAN

IfIthoughtthat other thing had a deep voice,Iwas grossly mistaken.Thiscreature, this alien’s voice, is so deep that it almost rattles the room around me.

“Greetings, little one.Myname isEinar.MayIask what you are called?”

Hetakes a step closer to me andItense in alarm.Whenhe notices my reaction, he freezes in place and waits.Okay, introductions.I’vedone enough of those being ponied around onRoberts’ arm.Ican at least handle surface conversation.Touchingmy tongue to my lips,Iwet them and clear my throat before replying.

“Uhm… hello.My… my name isRowan.”

Thelook of sublime pleasure that spreads across his face at learning something as simple as my name is almost painful to watch.RubyandKallen’sconversation comes back to me, andIknowI’vegot to say something to him about that.

Explain.

Maybeeven apologize.

Ican’t be what he needs.

Idon’twantto be what he needs.

“Mysister,Ruby, and a female that looks similar to you by the name ofKallenwere here earlier.Theysaid some things while they thoughtIwas still asleep…”

Atmy hesitation, he circles around the bedI’msitting on, grabs some sort of rolling stool, and positions it where he can sit far enough away to make me comfortable with his presence but close enough, we can talk comfortably.Hemust be smarter than he looks because the spot he picked leaves a direct avenue of escape open to both of the exits.OnceEinaris settled, he prompts me to continue.

“Itis good to finally know the name of my mate and her fierce sister.Thankyou for gifting them to me.Youmentioned thatKallenand yourRubywere here discussing something that appears to have troubled you deeply?Whatis it that concerns you, and how canIassist you in being comfortable here… with me?”
