Chapter Five
A Change of Plan
As the sun slowly began to rise, the first rays of light broke into the darkness of the front room. Al and Zara lay in front of the smoldering embers of the fire. The light warming Al's face as he slowly opened his eyes. He looked over at the fire and then at the sleeping Zara. A new kind of warmth filled him as he listened to her gently purring in her sleep.
For the last five years he had done his best to keep the world at arms length. Al had kept himself to himself for the most part, he spoke to some of shop owners in town, but that was mostly idle chit chat. Then out of nowhere this alien woman came crashing into his life and changed everything. He could talk to her about the war and not feel like she was judging him. He didn't even care if she saw his scars. After they kissed, Al knew two things, one, he wanted to be with her and two, he would never leave her.
Al slowly got up, trying not to wake Zara, and headed to the kitchen. He filled the kettle and switched it on. Al made his usual morning coffee, put his jacket on and headed outside. As he stepped out on to his porch he looked up towards the north mountain, thinking "Maybe I should take her up there...no ones gonna be up there...maybe go hunting with her." he placed a smoke to his lips and was about to light it when he heard that husky, Japanese sounding voice "Why do you smoke...it smells and I don't like it!" Al turned to see Zara standing in the doorway, which she had to duck under to get through. Al sighed and shook his head "I started during the war...it was a way of keeping my stress levels down...been trying to quit...I only have a few a day." Zara trilled softly and shook her head "So stress makes you do it...do I make you stress?" Al took a sip of his coffee and shook his head "No...I just need one in the morning...my dreams...well lets just say...their bad, so this helps." Zara took a step forward and wrapped her arms around him. She gently pressed her forehead against his and purred softly "Sorry for your bad sleep...can I help?" he smiled and placed his hand on the side of her face "Your helping just by being here..." he then kissed her softly.
After finishing his coffee and cigarette Al and Zara made their way back inside. Al headed for the bathroom "I'm just gonna have a shower, you can have something to eat while you wait if you want." Zara nodded and headed to the kitchen. Zara grabbed one of the plates of venison from the fridge and happily tucked into it.
Al stood in front of the bathroom mirror as he took his shirt off. It had been a while since he had looked at his scars. His chest told a story, a story of the true cost of war. Al's chest was covered in a mix of bullet,knife and burn scars. He could remember how he got each and every one of them. He sighed and turned the shower on, letting it warm up before he got in. Zara sat in front of the fire enjoying her meal. She heard the water start running and a warmth filled her as she remembered the last time she had seen Al in the shower. The sight of his naked body was, to her, a very pleasant sight. To her kind, scars showed a warriors strength, the battles they had fought and won. She let her mind wander for a moment, thinking to herself "He is a strong male...he must have won many fights...he will be a good mate..." She was suddenly snapped from her thoughts when someone knocked at the door.
Zara jumped to her feet and quickly entered the bathroom. She pulled back the shower curtain, making Al jump "What the fuck Zara..." but she cut him off "Someone is here...at the door." Al grabbed his towel and stepped out of the shower "What!...Who the fuck would come out here ?" Zara shook her head "I do not know...my clan would not be so...gently." Al grabbed the bathroom door handle "I'll see who it is, you stay here and stay quiet ok." Zara nodded as he left the room.
Al walked over to the front door and opened it "Who the fuc...oh Michelle...what are you doing here?" Michelle pulled her hood down and smiled "Well you left the other day without getting anymore fire wood...so I figured I'd bring you some up." Al sighed and shook his head "You really didn't have to..." Michelle cut him off and said "I know...but...I wanted to make sure things were ok...ya know...between us. After you left I kinda got to thinking, if you just wanna be friends...I'm ok with that." Al nodded and smiled slightly "Thanks Michelle, I'm sorry if I seemed a little cold towards you...I'm just...not really looking to get with anyone...sorry." She nodded and pulled her hood back up "It's fine Al...anyway, I best be going, see you next time your in the store?" Al nodded "Of course you will, see you later Michelle." And with that she turned and headed back to her car.
Al closed the door and headed back to the bathroom. As he entered he found Zara sitting on the floor. She looked up at him and trilled "Are you really not wanting to be with anyone...that's what you said to her." Al sighed and knelt down in front of her. He gently stroked the side of her face, he loved the way her skin felt "I only told her that so she would leave me alone...there's only one person I want to be with." Zara tilted her head "Who?" He leaned forward and kissed her forehead "You Zara...I'm gonna finish my shower...you can wait in here for me if you want?" Zara trilled happily and said "Sei-i...I would like that."
As he finished his shower Al asked Zara about going up the north mountain, the place where they first met. Zara trilled softly "Sei-i that would be nice...is it safe?" He nodded, even though she couldn't see him "Yeah it should be...this time of year most of the hunters go to the other side of town. They don't like having to deal with the bad weather up there...but I don't mind it." Zara sat for a moment before she asked "You are good hunter sei-i?" Al grabbed his towel and stepped out of the shower "I like to think so...why do you ask?" She slowly stood up and looked at a long scar that ran from his right shoulder down his chest and ending on his left side. Zara purred gently "My kind...the males...and some females...we hunt. Why do you hunt?" Al noticed the way Zara looked at his scars. He could tell she wasn't put off by them...in fact...they seemed to have the opposite effect on her. He grabbed another towel and started drying his long black hair as he spoke "Well I do it for a few reasons. I sell some of the meat and furs in town, gets me some money. I guess another reason is I like it...it helps. To hunt you have to be calm, patiently waiting for the time to make your move...what about you...why do your kind hunt?" Zara placed her hand on his chest and slowly traced the line of his scar with one of her claws "It is for honour...to show strength...uuhhmmm...scars are good to...show you are warrior." Al rested his hands on her hips as he threw the towel he was drying his hair with to the ground. He pulled her close and whispered "I'm guessing you like my scars then?" She began to purr louder as they got closer "Uuhhmmm...sei-i...they...how do oomans say...switch me on." Al giggled slightly "I think you mean...turn you on...right?" Zara nodded fast "Sei-i...you turn me on Ali'star..."
Al gently kissed her on her cheek "You do the same to me...but I thought you wanted to go up the north mountain?" Zara trilled softly as she wrapped her arms around him "A change of plans...I want you...I want to mate with you Al!" He knew she wasn't going to take no for an answer, but he wasn't about to say no. His mind suddenly filled with thoughts of what she might be expecting. Zara pressed her forehead against his and looked down "What is wrong...do you not want me?" Al smiled slightly as he ran his hands up and down her back "I do, it's just...well...I'm probably not as big as the guy's on your planet." She let out a sort of chuckling sound "Males are the same, no matter the planet..." with a quick move of her hand Zara pulled his towel away. Her eyes went wide as she looked down at his now fully naked body "Uuhhmmm...you need not worry...it is big enough for me!" And with that she kissed him passionately.
A few minutes later they were standing in Al's bed room. As they kissed he tried to remove her armour, but wasn't having much luck with it. Zara trilled softly as she unclipped her chest armour "Is that better?" Al's eyes lit up as he looked at her bare chest. Her chest had the same tiger striped pattern as the rest of her, but her nipples were a bright pink, almost red colour. He pulled her close and said "Sei-i" Zara purred as she pushed him down on to his bed. She quickly removed her lower armour and netting. She looked at Al and trilled happily "Now you see all of me...as I have seen all of you...do you still want me...do you still want to mate with me?" Al nodded gently and said "More than anything...do you still want to?" Zara jumped on him and kissed him passionately "Sei-i...I do..." She then reached down and carefully wrapped her hand around his hard member. Al let out a gasp as she took hold of him, her hand felt so good, but didn't expect what came next. She slowly pushed his member into herself. Her purr's grew louder as she pushed him all the way in. Al gasped again "Holy shit...I'm guessing your kind don't do foreplay then. Zara trilled softly as she slowly started moving her hips "What is foreplay?" Al ran his hands up her chest and gently rubbed her nipples "I'll show you later!"
Zara slowly moved her hips back and forth as Al gently played with her chest. Al moved his head forward and kissed her chest, teasing her nipples with his tongue. She began to breath heavily, speaking in her own language "Oh fuck...oh yes...this is so good..." but he just looked up at her "I take it your enjoying this?" All she could do was nod rapidly.
As she picked up the pace Al gasped "Oh my god...this is so fucking good...oh god Zara..." Zara leaned forward and kissed him passionately as she fucked him faster. She whispered in his ear "This is my first time...with anyone..." Al was shocked at hearing what she had just said. He was her first...she was a virgin, but at that moment all he could think of was her, the way she smelt, the way she sounded and most of all the way she felt. The heat that was coming from her was making him sweat. She began to bounce up and down on him as her purrs turned into grunts of pleasure, she spoke in her own language again "Oh paya yes...this is incredible...you feel so fucking good inside me!" Al, who was now panting and enjoying every moment of watching Zara ride him, called out "Oh fuck yeah Zara...you...keep going like this...and I'm gonna...cum inside you!" This time Zara spoke ooman "Do you mean you...ah...uuhhmmm...will fill me...with your seed?" He nodded rapidly "Oh god yes...oh fuck yes!" Zara forced herself down so he was all the way inside of her "Fill me with your seed Al...oh paya sei-i...fill me..." As she pushed down hard Zara roared in pleasure. Al arched his back as he came hard inside of her "Oh god Zara...I love you!" For a moment Zara just sat on top of him panting for breath before falling forward and kissing him passionately "I love you too Al."
Zara slowly rolled on to her side, laying next to her ooman mate as she gently purred. Al wrapped his arms around her and held her close. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine he would fall in love with an alien woman. The two of them just lay there staring into each others eyes. After what seemed like a lifetime Al softly said "So how was that for your first time?" Zara trilled softly as she rubbed her head against his "Everything I dreamed it would be." She slowly interlocked her hand with his "Did you mean what you said...that you love me?" Al smiled gently and kissed her softly "Yes...did you mean it?" Zara trilled and nodded "Sei-i...for the first time in my life...since I have met you...I have had a lot of first time's" Al nodded "So have I...so what would you like to do now?" She gave him a sort of smile and softly said "Could we have a...hot chocolate...in here? Al laughed and said "Hot chocolate in bed...of corse we can. I'll be right stay there and stay naked, I'm not finished with you yet." Zara purred happily and said "And I am not finished with you...my mate!"
The trees surrounding Al's cabin were strangely quiet. A silent, deadly hunter slowly made his way through the tree tops. He was searching for something...or someone. As the cabin came into view the silent hunter stopped. He scanned the cabin and made a few clicking sounds. He opened his wrist come and tapped away at it, speaking in his own language he sent a message "Elder...I have found her...how would you like me to proceed?" A gruff, powerful voice answered back "Do nothing...I shall arrive at the ooman world soon...observe but do not engage." The hunter nodded "As you wish...she is...she is with a ooman male..." The elder let out a defining roar and then he growled "Just watch my daughter...ensure no harm comes to her!" Again the hunter nodded "As you command...farther."
