Chapter 5: Midnight Rendezvous

"Father, why can't I go with you? It might be a trap" Tanaka complained. He wanted nothing more than to meet the female called Melody.

"Tanaka, I will be quite safe. I am going to speak to Lissa and get you the information that you desire. You must show patience. Meet me at her home on the other side of the city. Her home is located next to the largest building in the area with a lot of trees in the backyard" Varick stated, hoping that would be enough to satisfy his son's eagerness.

"What time?" Tanaka asked.

"Around lunch time. That should give me enough time to get the answers that I require for you" Varick said.

"Alright" Tanaka relented as he watched his father become invisible and walk off in the direction of Melody's home. Now, time to find Bashera.

One Hour Later:

Melissa awoke about fifteen minutes before Varick was supposed to show up. Her anticipation was growing very rapidly. She missed Varick more than anything else. She let out a heavy sigh before her heightened senses recognized a familiar presence. Varick.

Melissa bolted out of bed and quickly stripped off her sweat pants. She was glad that she was not wearing any underwear. Instead, all she had on was a long tee shirt with nothing on underneath. She had waited twenty-five years for this moment and she wasn't about to waste any time in making her dreams come true.

She stood by the edge of her bed and watched as Varick entered her room.

"Varick" Melissa whispered and then jumped into his open arms. She felt him lift her completely up and nuzzled her neck with his mask on.

"Oh Lissa. My beautiful Lissa" Varick softly stated as he held her close to him one arm and used his other hand to remove his mask. After getting the mask off, he let it drop to the floor and then buried his face into her long ebony black hair. He used his mandibles to nibble at the skin on her neck. Varick heard Melissa sigh heavily. He had waited so many years for this moment and he was not about to let it pass him by.

"Love me" Melissa begged as she slid down his body and immediately placed her hands on his metal loin cloth. She quickly found the buckle that held it on his waist and undid it, allowing it to fall to the floor. She moved her hands over his arms and instantly felt his hands cup her buttocks.

"You don't even need to ask. You and I are one, now and forever" Varick whispered as he lifted Melissa's light-weight body and swiftly slid into her. He found her to be moist and ready for him. Melissa's legs immediately wrapped around his waist and her ankles hooked behind him. He could hear her heavy breathing as he felt her body move with his.

"I already knew that, my forever mate" Melissa said in a very husky voice as she felt Varick slid in and out off her body in a rhythmic motion. She could feel her climax building with each of his movements as she strained to keep up with his ever increasing pace. Melissa began to nibble on his neck as his hands slid up her shirt and cupped one of her breasts, the pad of his thumb making tiny circles around her nipple.

Melissa tossed her head back when she herself nearing the edge. At first she wanted to hold back her scream when the first wave of ecstasy moved through her body but, it was far too intense. She screamed as she the tremors of her climax course throughout her entire body.

"Varick!" Melissa screamed out when she hit the peak of her climax.

"Lissa!" Varick roared when he felt his own climax.

He could feel her tiny muscles tighten and relax around him. Her breathing was ragged as she laid her head against his shoulder. He could feel her body sweating as he buried his face into her hair.

He still had trouble believing that he was finally here with the female that he had loved for so many years. Her body's response still had not changed; it was still violent whenever she reached her peak. She still reacted to each of his caresses with ardent pleasure, giving and receiving with each of his movements.

"I have missed you so much, Varick" Melissa confessed as she lifted her face away from his neck and looked into his golden eyes.

"And I have not once forgotten about you, my forever mate" Varick stated as he pulled out of her.

"So, do you finally want to spend the night in my bed? My parents have gone form this world and there is no Kareem for either of us to worry about" Melissa said in a sultry voice as she kissed his each of his mandibles.

"I wouldn't have it any other way. I am glad that you have a much larger bed than what you used to have" Varick joked as he recalled the small full size bed that used to be in her room when they were seeing each other all those years ago. Now, she had a huge California king size bed.

"Well, I do like my creature comforts" Melissa chuckled as she slid out of his arms and started to make her way towards the bed, only to have Varick grasp her hand.

"That first time went too quickly. I am going to mate with again and this time it will last a lot longer" Varick growled as he pulled Melissa back into his arms and then lifted her up. He walked over to the end of the bed and sat her down on the edge.

"Oh really. I thought the last time it lasted for a long while on both our parts" Melissa teased as she ran her hands up Varick's massive chest and then moved her hands down to his semi-hard erection.

"Lissa, are you sure you know what you're doing?" Varick questioned as he felt her tiny hand move over the length of him.

"Enough" Varick growled as he removed her hands away from him. Varick knew that Melissa was teasing him and he was not about to stand for it. He had every intention of teasing her until she begged him to mate with her again. He quickly removed her shirt without ripping it.

"Oh" Melissa gave Varick a mischievous grin as she felt him roll her over onto her stomach.

"I am not going to let you have your way" Varick purred as he slid a hand underneath Melissa and moved her body further up onto the bed.

"Sounds like a very serious problem" Melissa huskily whispered as she helped Varick to move her and in the process, she tried to roll over but, Varick placed a firm hand on her lower back.

"I plan on memorizing every part of you, since we now have the time" Varick stated as he climbed up onto the bed and lay down beside Melissa.

Leaning over, he began to murmur softly into her ear about how lovely she was and how much he loved her. He nibbled on her shoulders, down her spine, and even on her buttocks, which produced a giggle from Melissa.

Melissa felt both of Varick's hands slid up underneath her body and cup both of her breasts. Her back arched as she moaned with pleasure. Melissa didn't realize how many pleasure points she had until Varick decided to worship her.

"Varick" Melissa was panting heavily by the time Varick decided to roll her over and memorize the front of her.

"Oh Lissa, my lovely Lissa" Varick stated as he moved his hands over her body, bringing forth purrs and moans from Melissa.

"Varick, quite being such a tease" Melissa whispered as she moved her hands to his face and gently pulled. Varick allowed himself to be pulled up and over Melissa's body.

"Only for you, my mate" Varick whispered as he lifted Melissa up and then rolled her over. He had every intention of mating with her like a Yautja and he knew that Melissa would not turn him down.

"Oh, I take it you want to try this way of mating" Melissa joked as she willingly got onto her hands and knees.

"You better believe it" Varick purred as he quickly removed the remainder of his clothes and knelt behind Melissa. He heard her gasp when he entered her and then felt her bottom back up against him, which brought forth a soft roar from him.

"Oh!" Melissa moaned as she felt Varick lean over her back and places a hand on either side of her. She felt him pull out and then push back into her. Melissa's hips strained to meet every one of his thrusts. She felt one of his hands slid up her arm, across her breasts, and then moved between her thighs. She let out a heavy sigh as he gently stroked her.

"Oh Lissa, you feel beautiful" Varick growled as he felt her body meet every one of his thrusts. He could feel her body heating and becoming even moister with each of his movement. He watched as she tossed her hair over to one side, her eyes growing wide as she panted.

"Varick!" Melissa screamed as she reached her climax, her hips bucked wildly against him.

"Lissa!" was all Varick roared as his climax joined hers and his seed spilled heavily inside of her body. He felt her body become limp as he pulled out of her and then rolled onto his back.

"I love you, Varick" Melissa whispered as she moved over to lie next to Varick. She felt Varick roll over to face her and wrap his arms around her naked body.

"And I love you, my forever mate" Varick had not felt so complete since the last time they were together. He knew that this time would be different. They could finally leave together without any problems. No forced marriages or worrying about her parents being thrown in jail or Kareem. Ah yes, Kareem. I wonder where he is at.

"What happened to Kareem?" Varick finally asked as he stroked the back of her head.

"Kareem and I went our separate ways" Melissa started to say and then began to relate the whole tale of how she had put up with Kareem's violence and abusiveness until she couldn't take it anymore.

She told Varick about how she took a baseball bat to Kareem while he slept and beat the crap out of him. She told explained of how her father died and then her mother followed six months later. But, her mother was smart enough to hide a nice size family fortune of over five million dollars in the Swiss bank accounts waiting around for just the right time. Her mother also left the house to the Melissa and her grandchildren.

She told Varick of how the kids and her left without any luggage and picked up a set of plane tickets that her mother purchased just before she died. Melissa also explained that her mother had committed suicide so that her daughter might be able to escape with the children. It was the only way that Melissa would have been able to get the funds.

The only thing that Melissa did not tell Varick about was Alex. She felt it would be best to wait and see how Varick and Alex got along. She knew Alex would adore Varick but, she was unsure if the reverse would be true. She was pretty sure that Varick would accept Alex but, there was always that reservation of "what if". Then she also had to think about Tanaka's feelings in this matter and what would be going through his mind once he found out about his half brother, even though there was no relation between the two of them.

Melissa glanced over at the clock and saw that it was almost eleven thirty. Her stomach started growling and she laughed.

"Would you like some breakfast?" Melissa asked.

"Pancakes would be great" Varick hinted, even though it was not one of his better points but, Melissa understood.

"Alright but, you're going to have to let me up so I can get dressed" Melissa giggled as she lifted Varick's arm from around her waist.

Varick removed his arm from her waist and watched her get out of bed. That's when he noticed that Melissa still had the brand mark on her thigh. It made his heart sing that she still carried his mark proudly.

"See anything you like" Melissa asked as she turned her heal and walked to the closet. She pulled out a pair of black jeans and a lavender colored tee shirt. She rummaged through her dresser and found a pair of matching bra and panties in pale pink lace.

"You" Varick said with light tone of humor in his voice.

"Aren't we being romantic first thing this morning" Melissa giggled as she pulled on all of her clothes and opened her bedroom door.

"Coming?" Melissa raised a questioning eyebrow in Varick's direction when he got out of bed and quickly pulled on his clothes. He followed Melissa downstairs and into the kitchen.

I wish to thank everyone for their reviews. Oh, I wish to send out a special thank you to Vee017 who pointed out something that I missed in regards to Alex being so big and not taking care of Kareem. Don't worry; I'll put in a fill in the blank for that one in the next chapter. It's just sometimes I get so into the other characters and the story, that I miss a minor detail.
