Page 16 of Jessica's Mates
“No, no you didn’t. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Do I smell different?” The other girls all smiled. “What? What did I miss?”
“We will tell you in the morning. Come lay down, have some rest, and in the morning we can all chat about this because I’m starting to see a pattern with how we have our mates… Also, is K’Tem’s chest glowing?” Luna looked beside me to where his chest was slightly exposed from his soldier outfit.
“Well, yeah.” They had seen him before, but I guess not with his shirt off. I had seen it glow, I just assumed it was normal for M’Mori.
K’Tem answered her. “Ah, these are my fated mate marks. Jessica doesn’t have them as she is a human female, but these are only for when you found your fated. I have found mine with Jessica. I didn’t know it could happen with another species, but it has.”
Say what? I knew he had mentioned fated mates but not that his chest glowed because of me. I reached out and touched one of the swirls and it brightened.
“Oh, wow, that’s cool,” I heard one of the girls say. Yeah, it was really cool but what the hell? He never told me. I wish I knew. I should have known this, but I guess I didn’t fully know K’Tem. And tomorrow, after I slept, I would ask him everything. About him, his family, being a M’Mori. Everything.
“Let’s go to bed.” I smiled up at him. I could see his eyes widened and shit, did his eyes glow too? I was excited to be sharing the same bed as him. I wasn’t going to do anything but sleep, but it didn’t stop Quinn from saying “bow chicka, woo woo.” I rolled my eyes and smiled.
“Well, at least I will be keeping it in my hut… unlike some people.” Everyone laughed as Quinn tried to play off it wasn’t her… it was her. Like way too much. I can never unsee what she was doing with Ryven that morning.
“K’Tem?” I reached over and I couldn’t find him. Was I dreaming? Was that whole thing a dream? I sat up, and my ankle screamed at me. No, it was real. But where was he? I was in my half-made hut. It was almost complete, but there was no door.
“He has gone for the moment to speak with Sanza.” I turned to the doorway and saw Tomlee sitting out there. It was foggy so I guessed it was morning still. I felt like I had slept so deeply that I missed half the day.
“Thanks, Tomlee, what are you doing out there?” I asked. It was odd because Tomlee and his friends all had a cabin close to Brooklyn and her mates.
“I kept watch last night from here. Koh took first watch, and now I am on morning watch.” Huh… That made me feel better that they were keeping watch. I didn’t want a repeat of yesterday. Well, kicking them in the nuts, I could do a repeat of that.
“Do you wish to urinate or have water?” he asked me. My eyes snapped up to him. Oh wow, I forgot how direct they were at times. I laughed.
“Yes, I think I might use the pot.” It was in the room I had requested and I couldn’t be happier. When I hopped over to it and pulled my shorts down, I forgot I had my period, but on closer inspection it was gone… Like, I never really had it to begin with, but this was weird. I wasn’t pregnant, I hadn’t been with anyone, not even K’Tem still. I had no idea what his junk looked like. I would ask the girls about the whole disappearing period, but they were all having sex pretty much straight up, so they didn’t even have a chance to have their periods.
In some ways, I was happy it was gone. I could make love with K’Tem tonight. I really wanted to; I wanted to be close to him. To feel his body against mine. But at the same time, I was scared. Would he like my body? It was different than his people. I didn’t have scales and I had body hair. Everywhere. Something I was still coming to terms with after shaving for most of my life.
“Are you okay, Jee-seka?” I heard Tomlee call out from the doorway. I smiled. This was what I wanted and now I had it. My heart wanted to burst. So much caring and love in a clan.
“I’m fine,” I replied as I came out. I found my bag and pulled out some fresh clothes. I felt gross and really wanted a bath.
“You wish to bathe with the females today?”
“Yes, I need to clean.” I grabbed my clothes in my hand and walked out of the door, my ankle wasn’t as bad now that I was using it. I looked over towards the watering hole and the fog really did cover them all. I could hear some of the girls chatting away. I walked over to them and realized I had a shadow.
“Oh, um… I guess you can come, but don’t look at me naked.” All the others had a male, so today I would be the same. Yet, Tomlee wasn’t a mate, so I wasn’t sure how that worked. Or the fact he wasn’t a takxe… but then Elle and Hadley had been bringing both their mates so this shouldn’t be a problem. I didn’t think it would.
“Oh my god, you’re up. And ooohhh, you brought a mate?” Brooklyn squealed when she saw me. I nodded.
“Ah… Yep, I needed a bath and a girls’ chat.” I didn’t know how to answer her. If I said no, he wasn’t my mate, the girls wouldn’t be impressed. And I didn’t want to say it and hurt him either.
I looked over to Tomlee. He stood tall and looked up to the sky. Not that you could see anything, but he kept his word. He stayed but didn’t look. I kinda wanted him to, but he was a man of his word, and I couldn’t fault him for that.
Chapter Sixteen
Tomlee
Brooklyn had said toJee-sekathat she brought her mate. She was referring to me as the mate. I stood tall and looked above when Jee-seka didn’t correct her. Was this her way of saying she wanted me as a mate? Or that she was going to allow me to ask her later? I needed to tell Koh, especially after I heard the girls talk about how their mates were all attracted strongly to them and that was how they chose them.
When she finished and made her way back to the hut, K’Tem was waiting for her. She jumped into his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist. He was a lucky male to have such affection from the most amazing female on Aarzyn.
“I am to find Koh; I will return later,” I told them both.
“Oh, okay. Thank you, Tomlee. I will see you later. Have a lovely day.” Her words gave me a bounce in my step as I ran to find Koh. My tails were waving with such force I thought I would bump into others on my way. I had never been happier.
I wasn’t going to find Koh straight away because as her scent hit me while she bathed, my cock throbbed in my cloth. My cock strained to be touched. Needed to be stroked. So, I rushed away, climbing the nearest tree away from her. With her scent still on my nose, I stroked myself until release. But it wasn’t enough. I released seed again and again. By the time I was done, it was no longer morning and the fog had lifted.
