Across The Galaxy By Nori Elan

Only You Part 50

Lex woke hours later, alone in bed. The room was dim. She would never learn the sounds, clicks or trills to command the lights. She sat up, she felt no pain. Only stiffness in her joints. She moved to the closet and entered the code. She found clothes and dressed. She looked in one of the mirrors and realized that she looked a mess! She combed her hair and cleansed her face with one of the folded pieces of cloth Scar had torn for her the first time she started her cycle on this ship. She used one of the toothbrushes and toothpaste and brushed her teeth. She now looked presentable! She went in search of Scar.

She walked the long corridors and found him in the central command centre. He sat at the controls with his mask on. "Scar...." "Lex..." "What are you doing?....are we in flight?!!!" She asked frantic looking out of the view screen to the mountains and neighboring town littered with residents. "Yes, in stasis. The ship alerted me to an approaching vehicle. I needed to lift the ship to avoid a collision." "Oh my goodness! What happened?" "A vehicle approached the cabin. It drove by and circled the perimeter of the cabin. A human male exited and rang your doorbell. Of course, he received no answer. He entered his vehicle and left. I followed him." "Why?!!" She asked nearly shouting. "I wanted to monitor his communication. I needed to hear if there was any further action or interest to you or the cabin." "And........was there?" "No, just a routine check. I established a connection to isolate and monitor his voice and any transmissions. Key words and phrases."

"Lord Jesus...." Lex found herself sliding to the floor. "I'm a bit overwhelmed. Give me a second." She told him feeling weak. Scar went to her. He kneeled in front of her. She wrapped her arms around him and took a deep breath. He hugged her to him and lifted her from the floor in one fluid motion. He carried her to his command chair and sat her in his lap. Lex observed the multiple screens, sat com and extensive information displayed on the ranger. His name, age, birthday, address, social security number, educational background, his family history, medical history, just about every fact available. Some information was written in Yautja. She couldn't understand a single symbol. She sat stunned. "Lex....I only wanted to assure you that we were safe. That is all." She turned to him. "Can we leave!? You can monitor from the cabin if need be, correct?" "Yes" He said clicking. She nodded. Scar began to navigate the ship. He flew them high up over the mountains and towards the cabin. Lex sat in his lap watching. Trying to study the controls, she put her hand over his and held the controls.

Scar landed the ship and powered down the reactor. She took a deep breath. He held her stomach, rubbing her gently. She turned around and stared into his mask. He touched her hips. Already he was growing aroused. He had to focus. Lex noticed him swallow and his hands tightened on her hips. "Off" She said, pulling at his mask. He reached up and removed it. His eyes looked haunted. "Give me kisses...." She whispered. It sounded more like a request than a command. He trilled and nodded. She leaned forward and kissed him. He fed her his tongue. She rubbed his tendrils and squeezed them, they were warm. She began rubbing his neck and chest.

Scar broke the kiss and lowered his eyes. "How are you feeling?" He asked hesitantly. "I'm well. No pain." She answered honestly. His face flinched. He clicked nervously. She held up his chin, forcing him to look at her. "You made me feel good in many ways. I do not want to dwell on anything negative. I'm not angry. You are strong Scar. I can imagine your needs are very intense!!! Passionate and primal. I will become more accustomed to you." He groaned. "I do not want to hurt you. I lost control." He said clicking in sadness.

"It happens. I understand. I am still rather.........new at this. You're the second......for me and you're not average. Nothing about you is average. Everything is....big.... and strong!............................... you want........a child?" She asked. Scar looked up at her.

"Yes, I want everything with you. You are my life and you are blooded. Our child will have a strong lineage. I can and I want....I will take care of you...you both. I would see to it that neither of you will want for anything." He told her. Lex smiled.

"So......A Yautja and a human can procreate, safely?" She asked. "It is extremely rare! However, you are changing. Our chances for conception are vastly higher due to your reproductive system going through a metamorphosis. You are changing....It will allow you to safely carry our child. Most Yautja offspring are sired during mating season. When female Yautjas are in heat, it is usually for 30 days every 400 days or cycles. There is mating season due to many Yautja warriors being off world during hunts. I will want you with me." Scar explained. Lex thought in silence.

"Scar...wow ...ok. I keep thinking I should feel upset by this but....I don't." Lex sat in deep thought.

"You've never had a girlfriend, another mate, maybe not someone you actually mated with but a female you shared a connection with?"

"No" Was all he said.

She looked at him. Wanting him to elaborate.

"Lex......I did nothing but hunt and train. Even if I wanted a mate, no female would have me. The opportunity to bond with a female other than my mother or second mother was nonexistent. I am thankful I never did. I will share all of those experiences with you." Lex smiled. "Second mother?" She asked. "It is the equivalent of a grandmother."

"Ohhhhhhhh......" She cooed.

"I see....Sebastian explained to me that you were deemed a teenager, very young. You said you're 59 years old. How old must you be to be considered an adult?" She asked.

"70 years old and older." He explained.

"I see.....you are still considered young by your standards. When is your birthday Scar?"

"20th day of the 12th month in Earth math and Aztec calendars." He answered. "Oh wow. Ok, good to know!! I will remember that and give you treats on that day!" She told him. He trilled listening. "When is your birthday?" He asked her. "February 1st." She answered. He smiled "Sign of the water bearer. You are honest and impulsive, you pursue knowledge and understanding with great passion and you value freedom. You also like being alone and many Aquarians have a mate for life take on relationships. Loyal. Completely comfortable being quiet and listening." He explained. Lex sat in silence. "That's so.....accurate! Wow!" She exclaimed!

"Astrology is a gift from the Yautja." "Whoa! That's intense......... unreal. Very interesting. Scar, being so young, what makes you think you're ready for such a serious relationship and commitment? You don't think you'd like to mate with other females before.....settling down? Experiment..........test the waters?"

Scar stared into her eyes. Lex felt him burning holes into her soul. "Lex.....there are female Yautja of lower caste, eta, also labeled as untouchables. Some unblooded males will seek pleasure from them. I never thought about it. I did not want to dishonour myself or clan by engaging in any activities that would bring shame. Deep down I always thought I would find a life mate. I have. I need you, I desire nothing more. There are some Yautja males who seek their life mates. It is not all hunting. Some desire more and for Yautja males, when we meet our life mate it is a feeling of completion. It is an internal realization. It is not often that a life mate will be with a different species. I knew with you right away. I scented you and revealed my face to you for approval. I was pleased with you and grateful to Paya that you did not recoil in fear or......disgust....or rejection."

"Scar, you're very....sweet. I felt something as well. I didn't know how to explain it. I only knew that I felt.....I had feelings I couldn't explain. A part of me wanted to board the mothership and come with you! I didn't want to part..................... I'm grateful for your honesty. So.............did you pleasure yourself?" She asked him. "Yes...." He whispered, tightening his hold on her hips. "Often?" "No...training expended all of my energy." He answered. "Did you pleasure yourself after we met....." She asked. "Yes." "Did....you think of me?" "Only you." He answered looking into her eyes. "I see. I thought of you too. It was intense and weird. Some days it felt.....absurd! You...because you were denied, I.......... sometimes feel you will want more. More than I can give or offer. Inadequate is an understatement." Scar held her face. "Alexa, I love you. You will be my wife, my mate! I am happy and proud of you. I only want you!"

Lex smiled a small smile. He pulled her to him. She rested her head on his chest. "I'm hungry. Can we cook something at the cabin?" "Why not here?" He asked. "I want to save all of the food onboard. There is food inside. Please?" She told him. "Very well." He leaned them both forward and typed in a series of codes. "I am programming the ship to ascend if anything approaches and to alert me of any approaching vehicles, ships, planes or humans....anything within long range." "Wow" Lex sat mystified. He held her and breathed her in. She reached up and pulled his tendrils. "I love you. I am sorry again." "Shhhhhhhhhh......I love you." She said whispering.
