CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

KObrIK

T his female never fails to surprise me. She's not shy and yet she doesn't always speak up for what she wants or needs. And yet when it comes to others, she is determined to give what they need.

Kenzie is a wonderful medic. Nurse . I must remember to use local terms on Earth. Either way, her skills, especially her patience and resilience, impress me.

"Watch and learn, Warrior," she says as she places her hands on my hips and winks at me.

"I do not know what you're planning, but a little pain in my arm won't keep me from touching you."

"Oh, we'll be touching. I guarantee it." She runs her tongue over my pecs and down to my abdominal muscles.

My impossibly hard pleasure cock pulses as her tongue dips lower and lower. She tilts her head back, looks up at me, and smiles. A simple yet carefree smile. Not forced like with past pleasure mates. She's genuine, my Kenzie. Her every expression, her every thought, is filled with honesty and something more that I can't quite identify.

She licks her lips, causing my pleasure cock to twitch with need. I'm already envisioning the wet warmth of her mouth. I pet her hair, loving how the silky strands glide between my fingers.

Kenzie's tongue darts out as she looks down. "What the…"

She loses her grip on my legs and falls back onto her ass. "Two, Kobrik. You have two cocks."

"Yes. A mating cock and a pleasure cock."

Wide eyes stare at my cocks. "Two…"

I help her rise. "Kenzie?"

"Humans only have one."

"And I can only use one. My pleasure cock. My mating cock has never risen and won't until the right time."

"I don't understand." She shakes her head and strains not to look down at me again, but it's clear my anatomy is not what she expected. I often forget we are from two different species.

Being with Kenzie comes naturally to me. As if we've known one another our entire lives. When I look at her, I don't notice a lack of blue coloring or shapely horns. I only see the beauty of this female, especially her spirit.

"I'm sorry," she apologizes with a shaky smile. "This is new to me. I have a lot of questions about how this will work. I mean not how, but two… I've never been fucked by two guys at once."

"I'm only one male."

"With two swords."

"I carry eight knives and one blaster. No swords."

"Two cocks , Kobrik. Double penetration."

"Only one cock will work with you. My pleasure cock. My mating cock, the upper one, has never risen and won't until I meet my sholani."

"Then I guess you've met this sholani of yours."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because both cocks are hard."

KENZIE

"That can't be," Kobrik says, his horns shooting straight up as he looks down at his very large, very hard cocks. "My mating cock cannot be hard."

He seems to be in shock. I'm not sure why, since he's had what, thirty, thirty-two years to get used to having two cocks. I've had two minutes.

I stroke his upper cock, the one he called his mating cock. "It sure feels hard. Very," I add in a seductive voice. I'm starting to imagine the possibilities and I don't see any negatives.

Except Kobrik is flustered.

With my left hand, I take his other cock and stroke both, hoping to relax him. How odd this is, holding two cocks at the same time. But they're both a part of him. And I love touching him, but my heart aches seeing him stress.

"Breathe, Kobrik. Everything will be fine."

He closes his eyes and releases a long-held breath.

"We can fix the problem, whatever it is," I say as I resume stroking him

"This is not a problem," he says between moans. "A surprise. A very pleasant one."

I'm not sure if we're talking about my hands on his dicks—I can't believe I'm using the plural for that word—or the fact that the upper one is hard, which he clearly did not expect.

I release my hold on him and cup his face. "Are you okay?"

He nods. "I was not expecting to find you on Earth, sholani."

"You used that word before. What does it mean?"

"You are my sholani. My heartmate. The one the gods have chosen for me."

"That's very sweet," I say, truly flattered, but he's talking soulmates, something I don't believe in.

He pets my hair. "I should have realized it, before my mating cock rose, but I never considered the possibility of forming a heartmate bond with a human. The ZDC may allow me to transfer to Earth. Or you can come with me to Zyan."

"Slow down there, Kobrik. We just met. It's too early to be talking long-term commitment." Isn't it?

"We're heartmates. Do you not understand the significance?"

"No, I don't," I say even though I think I feel what he's saying, deep down. The thought of him leaving Earth without me terrifies me.

"You are my future, Kenzie. I will not leave you behind." He bends his head until our foreheads touch, and then there's silence.

There's no telepathy.

No touching besides our foreheads.

And yet there's this undeniable pull toward him. One I don't want to ignore.

"My life is here. My friends are here. I know nothing about your world or what I'd do there. We need time together, as a couple. To be sure about one another."

"I am sure. My mating cock rose for you. We will learn each other in time, yes?"

As much as it kills me to deny him anything, I shake my head. "I can't say yes to you. We've only known each other for a day. A very chaotic and yet wonderful day, but still, only a day."

He kisses my head and holds me against his chest. I'm not sure what to make of his silence, but damn it, he's swaying me in a way that's hard to resist.

"Talk to me, Kobrik. I don't always do well with silence. My mind starts making up things that aren't true. Like right now, I think you'll walk away from me because I'm not ready to say yes to permanently committing to you or to leaving Earth."

"I understand that humans don't believe in heartmates, but that doesn't mean I could leave you, sholani." His hands grip my face ensuring I look at him. "A thousand grud couldn't pull me away from you."

The thought of grud attacking him makes me hold him tighter. "I don't want you to go anywhere."

"I never expected I'd find my sholani on Earth and I'm full of joy at learning you are my sholani, my little human. I would never pressure or rush you. We are heartmates, and nothing can change that."

He doesn't say it, but I hear a ‘but' there. I'm almost afraid to ask, but I have to. "What's troubling you?"

Strong arms wrap around me, cocooning me in his warmth, but he doesn't answer.

The hairs on the back of my neck rise. "Just tell me," I whisper.

"I've been ordered to leave Earth in five days."
