Page 8 of Oret
With so much excitement, they decided to take the fish that they had caught and the two arms from the sea monster and head away from the water.The children weren't scared, only excited, which was probably not a good thing.A healthy amount of fear was beneficial, motivating you to take the necessary precautions to stay safe.They were a good distance from the water when they began gutting and cutting up their fish.Neither child was particularly excited about what they were doing now.Both still gave it their best shot and appeared to be advancing their skills.Once they were done, they headed back to where they could both take a shower.Working with the fish or the kills of any kind was messy and made them smelly.It was a good thing that showers were set up, allowing anyone to take one at any time.
A water treatment center was also set up to remove any contaminants that didn't belong in the water, ensuring that the water released into the holding tank was cleaner than the water that had entered it.The Majuri had the ability to either break down the chemicals or impurities added to the water or pull them out and capture them, depending on the nature of those impurities.If Earth had only had that technology, the planet would still be alive.Victoria was sure that in time she would stop thinking about her old planet so much.Oret had told her that in his time, Earth was used to teach children a lesson about how not to live and what not to do.That was sad, but if they learned from the mistakes her planet had made, that was a good thing.
They met back up, now that they were both clean, and headed to the cafeteria for a meal.She had to admit that had he not been with her, she would have probably skipped the meal.The aroma of cooking fish filled the air, making her hungry.They decided on the fried fish, even though she could admit that she liked fish, anyway, because they prepared.Someone had made coleslaw, and it was very good.The tartar sauce had added dill, which she preferred over the other kind.Whatever the local root vegetable was, they had prepared it like fries, and it tasted remarkably like them.There were also hush puppies that were neither undercooked nor overcooked, and she was very pleased with them.The kitchen crew was improving at their job, and eating a meal was more enjoyable than ever.
To ensure they would get dessert, they went ahead and selected theirs.Carrot cake was her choice while cherry pie was Oret’s.They carried their plates and their dessert to a table in the cafeteria.They usually sat in the kitchen, but someone was already taking a break there.Maybe it was good for them to socialize with others.Victoria didn't talk much, but she did listen to Oret as he spoke with the others, and she saw how easy his manner was.When some of her miners came in, she was able to interact with them in the same way.Other than her family and a few of the kitchen helpers, they were the people that she knew well.
She enjoyed the meal, and she was beginning to see that if Oret was no longer with her, her life would be missing a big piece.Victoria still wasn't sure what type of action to take, but she knew she shouldn't wait much longer.If she did something, something might happen that would prevent them from being together.Life here was a little chaotic but having a partner you could trust could help make things a bit less stressful.Tomorrow she would go back to work, but she had to admit that she would miss the time off that she had spent with Oret.On the other hand, she had seen some signs that productivity had dropped slightly.Not only would Radvar say anything about it, but he would notice, like she had.
More time off had shown her that she needed to make sure to take some time away from work and that she and the colony could benefit from her other activities.Daisy had been very appreciative of all the samples they had received, and the kitchen had also appreciated the variety of plants and animals they had acquired due to the extra gathering, hunting, and fishing that she and Oret had done.As for them personally, they had acquired a large stash of plants, minerals, and ores, as well as horns, skins, and claws that had value, which would enable them to trade for other items.It was good when something worked out for everyone.Perhaps she should take one day off a week, as she has given her miners two days off a week, unless they prefer to work for the extra points.Shifts were twelve-hour days, and two shifts ran, but there were fewer miners on the evening shift.
Points was the system they were currently using, and it is working just fine right now.Eventually, the chief had promised that they would adopt a monetary system because that was what everyone was accustomed to.He had not yet decided what would be the best thing to use for money.Many humans wanted gold because it was familiar to them.Coins would be the first, and eventually, they might add paper money.In the chief’s own time, money was mostly digital, with only coins still available because paper money wore out too quickly.In many isolated colonies, the barter system was widely used as it was now.
Oret took her back to her room, continuing to watch her as Daisy had directed.They both knew she no longer needed watching, but she didn't protest.Victoria knew that a new relationship was about to develop, and she wondered what that would be like.There was chemistry between them, and they were drawn together, and neither of them could deny it, even though she had tried.For the first time in her life, Victoria considered letting something develop simply because she wanted it, not because it was the right thing to do.She thought that he sensed that she was on the edge and ready to give in.When they arrived in her quarters, she got out a bottle of wine.It was one of those that he had brought her that she had put up and never gotten to.
In a box on the shelf, she had a pair of wine glasses that were rose colored.She pulled them out and set them on the table, then added a candle, which she lit.The atmosphere was romantic, and they sat at a small table, sipping wine and chatting.This was possibly the nicest evening she had ever had since she'd arrived on Mars 2.Everyone talked about changing that damnable name, but she was sure it was going to stick.Especially since now everyone was more concerned about the moon that was being populated with monsters.They weren't really monsters, but they had come from Earth, and they had been affected by the radiation in a limited way.It seemed many of the humans who had come from Earth with them were worried about everything, and everything scared them.That made them poor colonists, but they had to make the most of what they had.She could only hope that they would get better in time.
“Are you excited about getting back to work in the morning?”Oret asked.
“Are you?You've been off from your job almost as much as I have.I'm aware that you have snuck out while I was sleeping because Majuri don't need as much sleep as humans, but you still missed a lot of work.”
“If I could, I would take you and run away to a place where all we ever had to do was keep house, hunt, fish, and gather.It would be like paradise, and I believe you would enjoy it too.”
Victoria tried to hide the smile but could not.“I have to admit it's been a lovely week, and I may reconsider the amount of time I put into work unless I have issues where I must work more.You are a great companion.”
“That is a far more lovely compliment than I thought I would ever get out of you.”Now he was smiling.
“It is well deserved.You seem to be good at everything.”Victoria observed.
Oret wiggled his brows.“I can show you something I’m the best at.”
She turned bright red, and she knew exactly what he was talking about.He pulled her into his arms, and he gave her a passionate kiss that made her whole body heat.Oret seemed to know that she had already made her decision, and he began to undress her.Once she was naked, he lay her down on the bed and stepped back and began to undress himself.She'd heard the warriors were big, but he was huge.So much so that she was unsure that she could handle it.
“I'll make sure it fits and that you enjoy it.”He promised.
Naked, he was impressive from head to toe.His body was well-muscled with no extra fat anywhere.He moved onto the bed and lay over her with his weight resting on his elbows.That was when he kissed her again, and she forgot everything she had been worried about.He kissed a path down to her breast and sucked her nipple in until it was hard.That was when he moved to the other one and gave it the same treatment.He was naked, impressive from head to toe.His body was well-muscled with no extra fat anywhere.He moved onto the bed and lay over her with his weight resting on his elbows.That was when he kissed her again, and she forgot everything she had been worried about.He kissed a path down to her breast and sucked her nipple in until it was hard.That was when he moved to the other one and gave it the same treatment.He was playing with her body like a fine instrument, and she loved every moment of it.Oret continued to move his way down until he was at the crux of her thighs.She could feel his hot breath hitting her, and it made her wet.Her orgasm hit, she screamed out his name, and her hands that were sunk into his hair pulled his head closer and refused to let it go.
Oret slid up her body and inserted his big cock, using a finger to assist it.While it pinched, the pain she had anticipated was not there.Her legs wrapped around him, and her toes sank into his soft butt cheeks.She couldn't remember ever feeling this wonderful.Victoria was hurtling toward another orgasm.This time, when it hit, he bit her, and she bit him back.That seemed to start her orgasm all over again.It went on, and Oret slid up her body and inserted his big cock, using a finger to assist it.While it pinched, the pain she had anticipated was not there.Her legs wrapped around him, and her toes sank into his soft butt cheeks.She couldn't remember ever feeling this wonderful.Victoria was hurtling toward another orgasm.This time, when it hit, he bit her, and she bit him back.That seemed to start her orgasm all over again.It went on and on, and when it finally eased, she was so tired that she fell asleep.She knew that he had pulled her into his arms because she felt his heat, and it comforted her.Later, when she woke, there would be time enough to figure out what all this meant.Victoria had a lovely dream, and she resisted waking up.She could only resist for so long, and she knew there was a reason she needed to get up today, because there was something she had to do.That's when it hit her that she needed to get to work.She sat up and realized that she was alone in bed.Where was he, she wondered.thought she would if he had mated her.Could she be mistaken, and he hadn't really bitten her?That was something she would find out in time, and right now she needed to get back to work because she had already been off for a week.
When she got to the mine, everyone looked at her like she was a unicorn.What was their problem?Maybe it was just that she had been off work for long enough that they didn't know what to make of her.She decided to do the office work instead of going down to the mine today.Part of the reason was that she didn't know how she would feel as the day progressed.If he had truly mated her, she would probably not feel herself and maybe not be as strong as usual.It was possible that it wasn't as bad because she was older, and it was unlikely that she was able to have a child now.
This whole thing was confusing, and perhaps she needed to talk to her daughter, Sara.She'd been through this, and she might have good advice to tell her.Victoria waited until lunch and then made her way to the cafeteria, where Sara often had her lunch.She was relieved to see that she was there and eating lunch alone.This was not something she wanted to discuss with anyone else.Quickly grabbing a tray of food, she hurried to sit with her daughter.
“I'm glad to see you.”
“I'm happy to see you as well.Congratulations on your mating,” Sara observed.
“How can you tell?”
“My senses improved, and I can smell it.”
“That doesn't sound good.Do I smell bad or like sex?”Victoria asked.
“No, you smell more like him.Your scents mingle so there's no doubt you are mated.”
“How did you feel after you mated?I've heard some women get sick and are bedbound.”
“True, and it will probably hit soon.It only lasted a couple of days for me, but I have heard that some women experienced it for a week or more.Everyone will understand, and I bet Oret already planned so that they would not expect you.”Sara offered.
