We were two souls, tempered by loss and hardened by the trials we’d endured, yet in this suspended moment, our desires aligned, fierce and unapologetic. There was something poetic in it, finding such intense, raw connection in a place so ancient and forgotten.
His hands, strong and sure, cupped my face, thumbs caressing my cheeks as if to memorize the feel of me. The action spoke louder than words—here was protection, care, an unspoken vow that whatever came our way, we would face it together.
Every part of me yearned to melt into him. His cock pressed against my thigh, a hard line of desire that left no room for uncertainty. The glistening tip ignited pathways of longing with the alien aphrodisiac it carried.
The girth was intimidating, yet my body wanted to open for him. He entered me slowly, carefully, inch by inch. I tensed slightly, my body riding the mingle of a small stretching pain and exquisite pleasure.
His cock pulsed within me, the veins undulating against the walls of my vagina. His movements started tenderly before escalating to a deeper rhythm. His hips drove into mine with a passion that obliterated all thoughts of restraint.
The cavern around us seemed to fade. There was only us, the alien and human, engaged in the most ancient of cosmic dances. Every thrust sent sparks through me. I was ascending, soaring on waves of ecstasy.
Aurik grunted, the sound vibrating through me. His hands gripped my hips, guiding our frenzied coupling. The weight of his cock, the rhythm of its pulsing underside, compelled me to grind against him, seeking the friction that would send me spiraling into oblivion.
He thrust harder into me, his control breaking under the force of our combined lust. As the climax coiled tight within my core, I clung to him. My nails dug into the sinewy strength of his back.
His groan filled the cavern as he came, his hot seed flooding me in pulsating waves, spilling over onto my thighs in a claim of possession. The alien essence of his cum, laced with strong aphrodisiac, triggered another convulsive orgasm that wracked my body, leaving me shuddering and gasping beneath him.
We lay together, our bodies a tangle of limbs on the cool stone, the aftermath of our passion still lingering in the air. I felt our connection, our bond, as real and tangible as his damp hair brushing against my shoulder.
Aurik spoke my name. There was reverence in his tone. "In this moment and the moments forever after, you're everything to me."
The weight of his gaze anchored me, a promise of protection, of care, of an unwavering bond. I put my hands up to cup his face. “In any universe we find ourselves in, I want to be with you, Aurik.”
Chapter Thirteen
AURIK
I had never felt such an intimate collision as I did with Sonya. The bonding, a consuming fire, melded us. Every breath she took seemed to fill my lungs, every beat of her heart echoed within my chest. Lying there, on the stone of the cavern, I wanted nothing more than to stay in the aftermath of our connection.
“Earth to Aurik.”
Her voice, light and teasing, snapped me out of my brooding. I turned to see Sonya standing by the spring. The sleek curves of her nude body created a silhouette against the glow of the cavern walls. She dipped her toe into the steaming spring, sending ripples across the surface.
"It's a hot mineral springs." Her voice danced in the misty air. “Does that mean it’s therapeutic?”
My nose picked up the components of the mineral content. "It’s safe, but I’m sure you’re the first to use it in years."
“That’s all I need to know.” She stepped fully into the water. It embraced her until she was submerged up to her shoulders. Her light brown skin took on the golden glow that filled the cavern.
She leaned back, her head resting on the edge of the pool, eyes closed. "After that wonderful bonding experience we had, I could use a good hot soak."
“You found a hot springs to bathe in.” A smile crept on my lips as well as warmth in my chest when she acknowledged our bond. "I’m amazed you found a way to make this feel like a vacation.”
"I told you, I used to work at a resort. Come in for a minute. The water is great."
I hesitated. We indulged once when our bodies joined. Yet the sight of her, serene and inviting in the steam and the gentle lapping of the water, tugged at something primal within me. After years of being far from home, and months spent in chaotic captivity, I craved moments like this. Moments of peace.
"One minute. Then we move.”
I joined her in the spring, the hot water fast becoming a soothing balm to my newer wounds and tired muscles in my limbs. I glided towards Sonya, allowing the water to carry the weight of my body. Steam rose towards the cavern's jagged ceiling, forming a hazy canopy above us. As I reached her, she tilted her head back, exposing the elegant line of her neck.
"Did I hurt you during the bond?" Worried, my voice broke through the cavern’s symphony of droplets and distant echoes. Though we started out gentle at first, we ended up making love at a feverish pace, and with our size differences, I was scared she might feel the effects after.
Her eyes fluttered open, gleaming with warmth and reassurance. "It felt amazing. Although, I wouldn’t mind a back massage after being on that rock.”
As my fingers found the tension knotted along her upper back and shoulders, I worked them with care. Her sighs harmonized with the ebb and flow of the spring.
"Seeing you like this makes me want to linger," I confessed. Still, I couldn’t hold reality from creeping back in. We couldn't stay here forever, and we were more responsible than for just ourselves.
