Page 17 of Forever

We relaxed in our room later that evening, theZiperapproaching Earth’s realm. “Tomorrow, my sweet mate, we’ll arrive on Earth.”

“Kenna will be so happy. I want to go straight to see her. And then we’ll plan the Earth wedding. I can’t wait!” She bounced on the bed, grabbing me and pulling me to her.

We tumbled back, our arms wrapping around each other, groping, kissing, moving our bodies and coming out of our clothes. Our bodies reacted with such fervor, like we were starved and couldn’t get enough. I move over her, my lips kissing, licking, nipping down her neck and shoulders, pausing on her breasts and then to her belly.

Her legs opened to me as I settled between her legs. I was most at home there, enjoying her raw essence, her scent, and the feel of her soft skin as my face leaned in, kissing her and bringing her to such heights of pleasure. She soon toppled over the edge, her body writhing under the attention of my tongue, until she shoved me back.

“I am done. Can’t take another lick.” She rolled to me while giggling and drew me into her arms. I wasn’t finished with her.

“You must be making up for lost time.” She giggled as she rolled to her side when we finished making love for the third time that day.

“You’re a brute, mister.”

“A brute?”

“Oh, it's a good slang word. All those muscles and testosterone. You really make my head swim!”

My fingers moved over her naked body, ticking her as she squealed and hid under the covers. I met her there, grabbing her and holding her tightly.

“This is all I want in life. This right here. I don’t need the palace, a fancy job or even a baby. I just want you.”

“Do’Thortn, be serious. You know I feel the same way, but add Kenna in the mix. I want my daughter too. Maybe in the room next to our sound proof room.”

Laughter’s a big part of our relationship. We settled into a fun couple routine. Making love, laughing, and planning for the future. And, of course, that futured included Kenna.

I sat at the helm of the ship as we docked on the space station hovering above Earth.

Moxy took my hand as we stepped onto the space station and then to theEarth-Zorshuttle along with a dozen others coming from Zorlox. The flight from the space station to Earth took a half an hour as we burned through the atmosphere and safely landed at the airfield.

“We’ll be leaving again in a couple of weeks, have the shuttle ready.” I spoke with the human commander at the airfield about our departure. First, we’d reunite with Kenna and as a means of helping Kenne get to know me, we would plan the small wedding. It’s Moxy’s hope that Kenna would look forward to coming to Zorlox with us when we return again after our Zorloxian honeymoon.

CHAPTER 17

Moxy

I called Jefferson to give him a head’s up on our arrival.

“We’re back and I want to spend all the time with Kenna.”

“I see. She’ll be happy to see you, Moxy. She’s moped around here since you left.”

His words hit me like arrows to the heart. I had a short time to convince my little girl to want to come with me to Zorlox part time.

“Jefferson, there’s something else. Do’Thortn and I had a binding ceremony on Zorlox.”

“I suppose you want me to congratulate you?” He snorted.

“Are you jealous? We had an amicable friendship and not a real marriage. I thought you’d at least be happy for me.”

He sighed. “I am happy for you, Moxy. I’m not happy about what this is doing to Kenna. She’s very depressed about her mother disappearing all the time now.”

I stifled a cry. “It’s my job as ambassador. I’m not doing it to leave her behind. She’s more than welcome to come with me anytime. I know she wants both of her parents together and that’s why I’m trying to come up with a good solution to where she spends half of her time here with you and half with me there. I’ll not force her to do that though. It will have to be her decision.”

“She feels pulled. She has her friends here, her school, her life. And you want to take off to another star system.”

“I know. But I don’t know what else to do except to live here with Do’Thortn and he’d have to give up his standing on Zorlox.”

“Parents make sacrifices for their children, Moxy. Perhaps you and your alien lover should consider it for Kenna’s sake. Just until she’s grown. Then while she’s an adult doing her own thing, you two can skip off through the stars and do your own thing.”
