CHAPTER 5

Tara

It seemed to surprise Kris a bit that we weren't having dinner in the Regency Manor dining room, but rather upstairs in my bedchambers.I was wearing my white dinner gown with silk straps and gold filigrees.When I told him we weren't going to dine with my father, but instead in my room, we were standing in the entrance hall, and he froze there, looking startled.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"It's just…eating in your room.When I tell my parents and my brothers you invited me to have dinner here at all, it'll get their ears twitching and their fur jumping."He lowered his voice."But dinner in your room…"

I laughed a little at that, and touched him on his chest.He had actually put on his dress uniform for this.It was sleeveless like a regular Guard uniform, but had gold braids on the shoulders and gold and black wristbands, which made him look extra dashing, almost like a storybook character.He thought he'd be dining with Daddy, and he wanted to look impressive, which I found very sweet.

"Oh, I've had people up to my own chambers for dinner before," I told him, subtly reminding him of what everyone knew about Regency sons and daughters and the Guard.And that relaxed him a bit.

Moving his eyes from left to right as if he expected someone to come out and inspect him, Kris said, "Oh, right.Of course you have.Everyone knows…"

I took his hand and said, "It's fine.The serving staff has been instructed to bring my dinner upstairs.And don't worry about Daddy.Prime Regents always, how shall I say, look the other way."

He chuckled at that, and I loved how nonchalant he was trying to be.Just the same, Kris let me lead him upstairs to my chambers.

*****

In my room, with the polished marble floor, the little dining table and chairs, the elaborate tapestry area rugs, the wall hangings, and the four-poster canopy bed large enough for four people, was my art collection on one side of the space where the big picture windows as tall as the ceiling were.The objects that I had mounted in a frame on one wall by one of the windows caught his eye.There were a couple of ring-like artifacts in some substance like a gleaming mother-of-pearl, along with some other squares and rectangles with golden patterns etched into them, resembling electronic circuits.While we waited for dinner to be brought up, Kris studied them intently, curiously.

He turned to me and wondered aloud, "What are these?"

"The Colonial geologists who found them didn't seem to know, actually.We have other things like these in the Capital Museum.Daddy gave me these as a present.The geologists have a theory that there was some other civilization that lived on this planet, before us and before the Soorns.The working theory is that the Soorns wiped them out."

"That'd be just like them," Kris said, looking closely at the objects again."They don't believe in sharing."

Tilting my head and sighing, I replied, "No, they sure don't."At a knock on the door, I said, "Come on to the table now.The Soorns may not believe in sharing, but the cooks have made something nice for us to share."

At dinner, I didn't state my intentions in words, but I let my guest know exactly what I had in mind.I had the serving staff light diode candles at the table and turn off the room lights, casting a golden glow in the room.And I had the room computer call up the soundtrack of The Arcturian Kites, the most sensuous ballet to be composed in the quadrant in the last hundred years.Its reputation was known across space.The Arcturian Kites was performed entirely in the nude except for the shoes, on a stage with an antigravity system.Part of the second act was done in zero gravity, which called for the talents of most skilled and fit dancers.I assumed that even if there were not much in the way of culture in his life, Kris knew The Arcturian Kites.Everyone knew it.

For dessert, we had Thuban chocolate mousse pyramids, a dish that was known throughout the quadrant as an overture to romance when it was served the way I had the kitchen staff prepare it, with rings of whipped cream around the upper parts of its obelisk-like shapes.That left nothing to the imagination.

Kris took the hint.We teasingly fed each other those chocolate pyramids, one delectable spoonful at a time.And when I licked away the last bit of fluffy chocolate and cream from my lips, Kris put down his spoon, reached across the table, and put his warm hand on mine.

Smiling, I rose from my chair.Like a gentleman, Kris rose with me, taking my hand.I started across the room and my gorgeous young Guard began to walk that way along with me, until I raised a finger of my free hand and shook my head at him, telling him to stop.He looked at me with a tilted head like a curious puppy.I put a finger to my lips, telling him to hush."I'll say when," I said softly, and walked the rest of the way across the room until I reached the foot of the bed.Kris watched me with rapt attention.

There at the foot of the bed was a long chest in which I kept extra blankets.I wouldn't be needing them tonight.But that chest was the most convenient place to lay my gown when I slipped it off.I kicked off my shoes and stood there in just my tiny panties and halter.I then went round one side of the bed to one of the nightstands, and touched a surface on it.The micro-diodes in the underside of the canopy over my bed lit up with a golden glow to match the candles at the table.All the while I watched Kris—and the growing interest that lit his handsome face.

He tilted his head at me again, silently asking to approach.With the same smile that I wore when I left the table, I said, "Not yet."

"Not yet?" Kris asked, mildly confused.

"First," I said, "undress for me right there.Take everything off."

Kris readily did as I asked.Off came the sleeveless top, the boots, the stirrup trousers, the regulation short, tight black briefs.He stripped it all off.Onto his chair went the garments, onto the floor went the boots.And he stood facing me in all the glory of his human body, his hair falling almost to his shoulders, his little mustache and goatee accenting his boyishly handsome face, his arms and legs powerfully muscled.Hair was sprinkled sexily all over his chest, stomach, and legs.A thatch of pubes darkened his crotch, and from beneath, a proudly erect penis with its crown poking out of its foreskin pointed at me with a plump sac of testicles behind it.His dick twitched at me as if to ask for permission to approach.

I held out my hand to him and softly said, "Come to me."

My stunning Guard's boner bobbed with his stride as he walked across the marble floor and area rugs to reach the bedside where I stood.

"Take off the rest of my things," I whispered.

Kris expertly undid my halter and dropped it to my feet, releasing my breasts.Then he dropped to one knee, grasped the waist string of my tiny undies, and slid them down my legs to my ankles.I made myself fully naked, stepping free of the underthings, and Kris stayed there on one knee and looked up at me, his eyes lit with desire.I tingled at the look of sex on his face.Instead of standing up, he brought his face forward, and I held my breath as he nuzzled my pubic hair with his nose and inhaled deeply, getting the scent of my sex, suggesting the animal that lurked within him.I tingled more hotly.

He stood up, put his hands on my hips, and gently pulled me closer to him.I first touched his shoulders, then ran my hands across the finely haired muscle plates of his pecs.He brought his face to mine, tentatively at first; then when I drew closer to him, Kris touched our lips together.It began as a soft touch, then our lips parted and slipped deliciously into a full-on kiss.His hands slid from my hips around behind me and grasped my buttocks pulling me the last tiny bit forward so that our bodies now pressed together and his erection throbbed like hot metal jacketed in flesh against my stomach.I shuddered at the feeling of his dick against me and his tongue exploring my mouth.

Pulling out of the kiss, he kept his face close to mine and backed up just enough that he could take hold of his penis, bend his knees slightly, and rustle his glans through my pubes while grasping my bottom for support.I continued to feel his chest and brushed my knuckles down to his abs.Kris moved his dick down and started to tease the lips of my sex with it, stoking my desire like a campfire, making me moan softly at him.

"I've fucked society girls before," Kris said, as softly as my own moaning, "but never a Princess."

"There aren't that many of us," I replied."We're pretty rare."

He kissed me again, harder than before, and with knees still bent, continued to probe my vulva."You're pretty special," he said, and now I both tingled and shuddered.

I pulled gently out of his grasp and climbed up onto the bed, facing him on my knees, displaying my bosom and my pubes to him.I thrilled at the throbbing of the hardened penis with which he'd started exploring me."Come up here with me," I said, again holding out my hand to him.

Kris took my hand and brought his lips once more to mine, taking them in a kiss while holding me by the small of my back with one hand and using the other to aim his dick between my legs and onto my moistened folds once more.He rubbed his nose against mine at the same time and whispered, "I want you, Tara."He took his hand from my lower back and caressed my breast and thumbed my nipple.He sucked at my lips, then released them."You're so soft.Your tits are so soft.I want your pussy."

"Lie down first," I said.

Guessing correctly what I had in mind to do to him before what he wanted to do for me, he lay down on the bedspread and spread the muscular trunks of his legs.His prick stood at attention, ready, his foreskin pulled back behind his glans and a bead of pre-semen at its eye.I set myself down between those fantastic legs and opened my mouth wide, and smoothly took that fleshy pillar between my lips.I savored the taste of the bead at the tip, and the feeling of his length and thickness filling my mouth.He made a rumble of pleasure from deep within him.I told him the pleasure was mutual with the sliding of his dong up and down, over my tongue.And so our real evening began.

Here he was, this handsome, strong, brave, proud young wolf man, submitting completely to my enjoyment of his beautiful body and my sucking of his beautiful cock.And it was truly a pure delight, feeling his body react with the tensing and releasing of his muscles, the long inhales and exhales of his breath, and the long groans that he released, sounding as if he were lost in a waking erotic dream.As I worked on his penis and took delight in the way it throbbed in my mouth, I gingerly fingered the pouch of his scrotum.His groans became louder.As we were both bathed in the glow from my canopy, so too did we both bask in the bliss of his sharing his erect maleness with me.

I slid up Kris's shaft and held just the tip of his dong in my mouth, swirling my tongue around it."Oh, shit…fuck, yes," he muttered approvingly, and after we both savored that feeling, I licked my way back down his erection until I reached the well-rounded sac of his balls.I treated his scrotum as I'd just done his glans, moving my tongue over its roundness.He made Mmm sounds, as dazed with this pleasure as he was with having his cock in my mouth.Carefully, I opened wide again and sucked one of his balls."Uhhh…fuck," he grunted, and he bent his legs up while I released that one testicle and sucked on its twin.I soon had both of his tender nuts in my mouth, and the pleasure of that produced ecstatic tremors in Kris's tightly sinewed body and a warm rush of anticipation in me from the thought of what I wanted next.

Releasing his balls, I gave the shaft of Kris's penis one last lick, and kissed the tender cap of the glans.Then I climbed up and lay down beside him.Groggily, he shifted onto his side to give me a long, hot kiss and squeeze my breast.I took his moistened hard-on in my hand and gave it a little tug.Kris sucked on my lower lip for a second, then whispered lustily, "Can I have some pussy now?"

"Yes…please," I whispered breathlessly back at him.I kept his cock in my hand while letting him mount me and position himself between my thighs.With Kris on top of me, I aimed his rod of flesh into my vulva and let him slide it into me.That first moment of a beautiful man entering my pussy was always a thing of total wonder, and Kris's cock going into me for the first time was no exception.His body on top of me and his hard maleness filling my inner passage were exquisite.As if to join our bodies together forever, I grasped his thighs with my hips and wrapped my arms around the flexing muscles of his back, and cried out excitedly at the sensation of deep thrusting as he began to fuck me.

All awareness of our respective stations was gone.The gentle Princess and the gallant Guard were forgotten.We were only Tara and Kris, the desiring lass topped and eagerly, passionately fucked by the beautiful, lusting lad.And fuck me he did—hard, deep, exuberantly, as if this were the first time he had ever had his dick inside a pussy.The way Kris did it to me was like a revelation for both of us.With his cock penetrating me, claiming me, pumping like the piston of some ancient engine of hot, driving steel, he was discovering me, and I was truly experiencing him, in the most awesome and intimate way.Though neither of us was a virgin, that was how we felt, as if this were the first magical lay of either of our lives.I cried out in total rapture under him, receiving his powerful thrusts and the beating of his crotch against me, and he puffed hotly atop me while covering my cheeks, my neck, and my shoulders with steaming kisses.

I clutched at his upper back, digging my fingernails into his muscles, and wailed madly, "Kris…Kris, don't stop!"His pounding his steel-hard length into me, the force of his sliding inside me and the power of his blows against my mound, produced the most insane pleasure in me.I wrapped my legs around his lower back, crying out with my voice and my whole being, wanting to make him the prisoner of my body forever. And Kris responded by holding the full length of his cock inside me for an extra second on the down stroke and grinding his crotch onto me, tickling my clit and making me that much more insane with pleasure.

He made me think of the beast that he was in his other body as he growled at me, "Fuck, it's good…Oh, FUCK…!"His voice dissolved into just growls of ecstasy, as if he would morph into that other form while beating his prick wildly inside me.He did it so hard, so savagely, that I felt myself being taken by the man and the beast at once.And there was never a more beautiful, perfect beast than this one humping so furiously on top of me and slamming his prick into my wetness.Kris kept on, fucking me so primitively that I felt like an animal myself.His sex was the most utterly carnal thing I'd ever experienced, and I didn't want it to end.

But only one thing could happen from a fucking like this.I could feel it building up inside him.He reared up on the palms of his hands and started to ram the pulsing pillar of his erection into me even harder, so much so that the dizzying force of it nearly made me scream.It was making something build up in me as well.He continued grinding himself against me, screwing against my clit while plundering my pussy, and the fantastic feeling of it was too much for me to contain.The orgasm that hit me made me feel as if my body would fly apart and scatter my limbs across the bed.My climax made his own orgasm explode like thunder inside him.I heard it in the roar that ripped itself from his throat as he tossed his head back and the mighty shudder of his lean muscles, and the heat from his throbbing cock inside me.He was pouring out the contents of the balls that I had sucked.He was flooding my pussy with his cream.I panted heavily at this release of his pleasure and mine, an almost simultaneous orgasm.

Kris held himself all the way in me, giving me every drop of his outpouring.Then he settled down on top of me, his cock still hard, and fucked me more slowly, more tenderly, kissing me all over my face.His breath was warm against the skin of my features as he muttered, "Oh, fuck…Oh, shit, that was good.That was so fucking good."Kris took my lips in a long kiss while beating out the last of his hardness inside my pussy.I was sure that his thick semen was leaking out around his dick as he kept penetrating me for every possible second.I whimpered a little bit, and he grunted, "Shit…," as he finally pulled out and lay still and quiet on top of me.I stroked his long, thick hair and fondled the resting cheeks of his ass, and together we were quiet in the afterglow of Kris's impassioned fucking.

He rolled off me and gathered me up in his arms.I embraced him and let him feed me his tongue and caress my labia and clitoris.My sex was slippery from his plentiful ejaculation, and we chuckled softly at what he'd done to me so passionately and beautifully."Oh, Kris," I whispered."You were absolutely wonderful.Just wonderful."

Pecking my lips in another kiss and nuzzling my nose, he said, "There's nothing better than fucking.And that…damn, that was the best."He kissed me again."I want to stay the night.I want you all night long."

I grinned, teasing his goatee with my finger, and said, "Then consider that an order from your Princess.Share my bed all night, my handsome Guard.Have me as much as you want."

"That's going to be plenty," Kris replied with a husky little laugh, and pulled me into a long, hard kiss.

My handsome Guard obeyed his Princess's command above and beyond the call of duty.To prepare me for what he wanted, and what I so wanted to give him, he put me on my back and kissed and nuzzled his way to my breasts.The rustle and scratch of his mustache and goatee against my bosom made me giggle embarrassingly, and he sounded more like a panther than a wolf, purring as he kissed my breasts all over, put little love bites on them, and turned my nipples to little pebbles by licking and sucking them.He traveled down lower onto my body and kissed my belly, sliding his hand down to the slippery opening of my sex to feel for my clit.I let out a shuddering little moan at the feeling of his lips and tongue French-kissing my navel while he strummed with one finger at the bud of my womanhood.Then he continued his sexy journey below my waist to rustle his nose in my pubic hair, taking in the mixed scent of my vagina and his semen.

Kris's lips reached their destination, coming at last to the curtains of my labia, which he licked up and down, making me tingle all over, before bringing his tongue to my clit and licking it with swift, wet strokes.The tingling feeling turned to a vibration that rang through my muscles.He went on relentlessly that way, meaning to lick my tiny love knob into another climax.How many long, sensuous minutes went by, I didn't know, as the feelings he was giving me turned my mind into a shimmering light.But Kris's licking me in exactly that spot did just what he meant to do.The trembling glow in my mind turned to a sheet of blinding pleasure, and my body twitched up and down with yet another climax that left me breathlessly gasping with satisfaction.

It was Kris's turn next.He mounted and entered me again with a renewed erection and penetrated me with the same wild abandon as before.He humped me to another climax of his own, and once again I clung to him, moaned beneath him, and let him carry me off with him on a flight of carnal joy.He cried out, "FUCK!" on top of me, his loins pressed tight against me and his cock lodged all the way in me, deluging my depths with another thick and copious burst of cum.And once again he lay on top of me in a smoldering afterglow of slow pumping, using every second of his demanding erection before pulling out and settling atop me with a deep and husky sigh.

Dazed from sex, but still wanting more, we climbed beneath the sheets and spent some time cuddling and kissing while I played with Kris's cock and he played with my pussy.He rolled onto his back and let me straddle him, riding his next erection.He thumbed my clit and made me come, and he shot a fountain of cream into me from below.When Kris softened and slipped out again, I curled up beside him with my back to him, and he kneaded my breasts and played with the lips of my pussy from behind.Soon his cock hardened once more, and he lifted my leg to give himself entrance to me.We both made intoxicated sounds of pleasure as he fucked me and strummed my clit from behind, bringing us both to still another climax.

After that, we were spent and still, and in the warm glow of my canopy, wrapped up in each other beneath the sheets and spread, Kris and I fell asleep together.No handsome Guard had ever served his Princess better than Kris served me that night.

Sleeping with Kris—actually sleeping—felt golden and tranquil.But some time in the night, I was stirred back awake by a growling sound from beside me and a sudden rustling in the sheets.At first I thought it was Kris, aroused once again with another erection, wanting to wake me and mount me one more time.And after the four awesome times he had already done it to me, I would have more than gladly granted him another…

But when I opened my eyes and looked over at him, he was sitting up, morphing to wolf form, growling ferociously, and gazing down at another shape looming over the foot of the bed.A shock of horror tore a scream from my throat and made me bolt upright beside Kris, gathering comforter and sheets against my nakedness as if they could shield me from what had entered my bedchamber.

It resembled a massive snake.Its mouth hung wide open and showed large, horrible fangs.But its head was like a dragonfly and it had huge, hooked forelegs like a praying mantis, and on their hooked tips I could make out drops of liquid—venom!—glinting in the light of my canopy.It reared up like a cobra prepared to strike.At any second it would come lunging across the bed to sink the hooks of those forelegs or the spikes of those fangs into us.My scream turned to a gasp of panic.Part of me wanted to dive for the side of the bed; another part of me was frozen with the question of where I could possibly go to evade this thing.

But the figure that lunged forward was not me.It was Kris.Fully in his wolf form, he sprang forth, snarling with fury, and hurled himself right at the serpentine creature.I gasped and flinched again, almost bringing up the covers over my face, but too scared not to look at what was happening.Kris's lunge carried him all the way down the bed and into that dreadful, elongated body.They both went flying over the far end of the mattress and onto the floor with an awful thud, and the next things I saw were the coils of the creature flailing in the air and Kris's furred and muscular arms rising and falling as he beat and thrashed at the thing.I got up onto my knees, whimpering in terror, trying to see what was happening, but all that I could make out was silhouetted shapes rising up and crashing down, and shadows on the far wall where the dining table and Kris's clothes were.

The room was filled with the monstrous sounds that Kris and the monster made as they struck and slammed at each other and rolled and pounded on the floor.Just as I screamed, "HELP!", the noises in my room were suddenly mixed with the wailing, clattering clangor of alarms ringing all throughout the Manor.Hot tears of fright escaped my eyes.Did this mean the entire Manor was under attack?Clutching at the covers, I backed up, shuddering against the headboard, as the shapes and shadows before me continued to roil and coil and thrash and batter away in the nerve-shattering din of the alarms.

And then, as suddenly as it started, everything was still.The only uproar in the room was those terrible klaxons.The sound of them drowned out my own voice as I crept nervously, fearfully forward, calling out, "Kris?Kris…?"

Abruptly, the door to my bedchamber slid open and two Guards in wolf form came charging in.One of them looked to the floor near the foot of the bed and hurried there immediately, while the other looked over at me and called, "Princess!Are you all right?"

My voice wasn't working.Raggedly, I half-answered, "I…I…I…"I kept staring down at the foot of the bed, where that one guard was crouching, partly out of sight.The Guard who called to me ran to my nightstand and tripped the control to bring my room lights all the way up.At the same time, the other one stood and faced his partner, grimly shaking his wolf head.

"He got the thing," said the Guard, "but it looks like the damn thing got him.He's unconscious; his arm is swollen.He must have been envenomated."

Just hearing him say that was a terror far worse than anything else that had just happened.With my nakedness covered only by the sheets that I pulled up around me and clutched against myself, I screamed, "KRIS!", and clambered down to the edge of the foot of the bed.I let out an even more horrified scream when I looked to the floor and saw the long, twitching body of the creature that had invaded my room, its head lying away from the rest of it, both parts of it oozing blood onto my floor—and next to the thing's remains, Kris lying immobile and naked, eyes shut, his body slowly morphing from man-wolf to human, one arm enlarged and purple."No…no… NO…!" I wailed, my voice half-lost in the ongoing alarm sounds.Tears wet my face now.What would happen to poor Kris?
