He was real

chapter ten

A frustrated roar sounded from somewhere int he ship. Ash hid deeper in the vent eyeing the grate. Apparently his kind didn't take well to pranks. Or hide and seek for that matter. Or maybe it was when bakuub had went to awaken her and only found pillows covered up. What? She had grown curious and decided to explore the ship.
    Bakuub on the other hand wasn't entirely supportive of the way she had done it. At least that's what she got from the first roar. The one that had caused her to enter the ventilation system . Today just also happened to be the day he was supposed to claim her. Which terrified her considering she was still a virgin. She had zero experience with males of any race.
A sudden noise came from below her and the grate ripped out of it's place followed by a hand grabbing her ankle that was not broke and pulling her through the hole. As she landed with a this she looked up at the male breathing heavily above her. "I... I only wanted to explore." She said quietly. He growled in response and squatted down to be eye level with her. He was pissed,  obviously. 
   After what seemed like an eternity his mandibles retracted from the flare and his eyes softened. " No running" he said in his gravily voice . She nodded and allowed him to pull her against him and into his arms as he stood. He then made his way to the control room and sat with her on his lap allowing her to look around at her surroundings. Her wide eyes turned back to him and watched as he poked at buttons. Then she turned her head to look out the front window. It was a small planet of blues and greens. "It's beautiful." She whispered earning a chuff from him. " Hunting grounds. Need to .........hunt for ... Food" a rattle of agitation followed his words as his calculating eyes turned to her. She gulped at the intensity of those eyes as she felt her body betray her. She couldn't help it. She found him attractive. She also realised that she did indeed want him.  Over their seven months of talking through messenger he had not once lied about himself. He had told her completely about himself. He was an arbitrator of his people. He was the law of his clan. He was also a seasoned warrior of 500 years. In his prime.
This male could have any female he chose from his race but, he had chose her. She still wondered why though. She needed to know. "why me?" She asked quietly.  His eyes turned to her instantly and he clicked his tusks together as he tried to figure out how to piece it together. "A strong mind, strong soul. Wise..... Beautiful..... " His gaze stared into her very soul as he began to purr " understanding. ... Loyal... Honourable.... Perfect..." His words made her face turn several different shades . Just like that.. the look... The words... The way he carresed her back as he spoke.. oh he had stole her heart completely. She was going nowhere and would stay by him however long he wanted her. She leaned up and gently kisses his mandibles . They had known each other for nearly a year. She had already fallen for him but this? It sank her further into his grasp. She didn't know how to tell him her emotions. A low purr came from him as he pulled her into a straddling position on his lap. The purring causing vibrations into her woman's core. She wanted him. Then and there. But she dared not ask .. she was still afraid of her emotions.... Even though she knew at this point what she wanted so instead she leaned forward and laid her head on his chest dozing off.
