Chapter 15 Zeb and Ayessa Orrelios
It finally came the time for Hondo and Melch to leave Yavin IV and continue on their pirate adventures through the galaxy. Actually, Hondo had to go because a former partner wanted his hide for a business deal that went bad through with no fault of his own.
He went over to say goodbye to Kanan, Hera, Ezra and Sabine, the two older rebels a little reserved in their goodbyes. Ezra and Sabine gave him hugs and Melch too. The little Ugnaught was nearly in tears when he hugged his friends.
Hondo walked over to Zeb and Ayessa and looked up at the taller beings.
"Purple Guy," he said as he gave Zeb a playful punch to the arm, "Take care of yourself and that beautiful lady of yours."
"Thank you, Hondo," Zeb said giving the pirate one of his spine-crushing hugs, "Thank you for all you did for me."
Hondo gasped and then pulled away to give the Lasat a punch to the shoulder.
Ayessa went over and bent down to give the Weequay a kiss on the cheek surprising Hondo, but he liked it.
"Thank you for bringing my sycha home to me," she said and bent down to lift Melch off his feet to give him a kiss. The Ugnaught squealed in surprise but enjoyed it.
"You are most welcome, my dear," Hondo said giving her a bow.
"My friends!" the old pirate said in a very theatrical fashion, "Farewell, until we meet again!"
The two pirates boarded their ship that Kanan and Hera loaded with needed supplies as they had promised and then took off with everyone waving goodbye.
"Hondo's not such a bad guy," Zeb said as he turned to Ayessa and gave her a kiss on the lips.
"Hey, you two," Rex said as he stood grinning with Kallus standing nearby, "None of that, now! You do know that there are others around!"
The Lasat and his Barrelian lover snickered and walked away to have some time for themselves. Hera and Kanan watched them leave.
"Those two need to be married...and soon," Hera said as Kanan took her by the hand.
"I know," the Jedi answered, "I can feel the building desire in both of them and it's getting stronger."
A week later, Zeb and Ayessa stood before one of the rebels who before he joined the Rebellion, was a Nabooian holy man and would be joining the couple. He had performed alot of marriages or joinings for others amongst the rebels including Kanan and Hera. The strangest one yet was between a human male and an insectoid female, so the joining of a Barrelian female and Lasat male seemed...normal. The ceremony was attended by all the rebels who were on Yavin IV at the time, among them, Senators Mothma and Organa.
Zeb and Ayessa enjoyed spending time with their friends and family, but wanted some privacy to consumate their love for each other. Before the wedding ceremony, Rex, Kallus, Ezra and Kanan traveled out to the waterfall area and set up a temporary shelter for the couple and everything they'd need for their first night alone. The rainy season was in full force on the moon and it made for a damp and chilly honeymoon for Zeb and Ayessa, but their family knew the weather would be the last thing on their minds.
Hera and Kanan stood watching Zeb with his new bride not unlike proud parents seeing their child finally married off and on his own. Ezra and Sabine smiled and for different reasons. Ezra was admiring Ayessa's skin-tight golden gown that seemed to be painted on her. The beaded collar was a glimmering gold and accented her slim neck and the plunging neckline that showed the sides of her full breasts. Sabine smiled seeing Zeb in a brand new Honor Guard uniform with chest and back armor that the two "siblings" had made with Ezra's help. Sabine had even painted a version of Ashla along the right side of his chest in memory of the Lasat's little animal friend that he loved so much. On his neck he wore his Honor Guard medallion that he received so long ago at his promotion to captain of the Lasan High Honor Guard.
After the ceremony, everyone enjoyed a meal of foods prepared by the base's chefs and other rebels who liked to dabble with cooking duties when they had a chance. Later in the day, it was time for Zeb and Ayessa to head to their honeymoon spot. It had begun to storm and the couple were given the use of a covered speeder to reach their destination and were glad for that, for the air was getting quite chilly. After saying goodbye for a few days, the couple took off for their time alone. Ayessa was looking forward to joining minds with her sycha and Zeb wanted to mate with her his desire for her growing with each minute that passed. He would be patient as Ayessa wanted to join her mind to his in the tradition of a Barrelian mating ceremony. Zeb felt a bit nervous at such an intimate touching of his barest emotions and hoped that being a non-telepath wouldn't hinder her too much. He knew that Ayessa wanted to mate with him as well as he caught her staring at his body in the way of a lover. During the ceremony, he had found himself constantly staring at her breasts that were nearly exposed in her wedding gown and was anxious to see them bare as well as the rest of her body.
They arrived at the waterfall and hurried to the shelter with the supplies that they had brought with them. When they unzipped the doorway, they were met by warmth from a portable heating unit and were able to remove their coats. Zeb smiled seeing Ayessa take her coat off to reveal her wedding gown with a sheer covering like a robe over it. He took his coat off showing Ayessa his chest and back armor, furry shoulders exposed. Seeing the two-tone purple fur made her smile for she was looking forward to running her fingers and hands over all of the Lasat's furry body, especially the lower region.
"Are you warm enough?" Zeb asked leading her over to where a makeshift bed was made for them.
"Yes, Garazeb," she said and looked into his green eyes seeing the love reflected there.
She sat down in front of him and unlaced the sheer robe over her gown and saw his eyes light up at the sight of her nearly exposed breasts.
"You are so beautiful," Zeb said , his deep voice in a near-whisper and he reached a hand up to caress her face that was now flushing with arousal. She in turn, reached up to caress his furry cheek and a low purr sounded deep in his throat.
"Sycha, you are very handsome," she answered and moved closer, "Garazeb...I want to join minds with you to finalize our bonding. It will not be painful in any way, and I think you will enjoy it."
"Okay," Zeb answered and smiled seeing her get ready for the mind joining.
"Now, Garazeb, close your eyes, take a deep breath and clear your mind of any distracting thoughts."
Easier said than done, Zeb thought as he thought of how he wanted to mate with Ayessa and feeling her body intertwined with his, but he did as she wanted.
Ayessa took a deep breath and started the joining. Seeing that Zeb was relaxed, she placed her hands along side his head with the gentlest of touches. Zeb let out a sigh and a small smile crossed the Lasat features as he felt his bondmate's intimate touch. In Ayessa's mind, she saw images of friendship, loyalty and a heart of gold that she had fallen in love with. She saw how protective he was towards his family and friends as well as the beings who were so helpless against the Empire. She shuddered feeling the guilt and grief that he still carried deep inside of the near genocide of his people. Moving further into his mind, she felt the strong feelings of a pure love for his adopted family; the crew of the GHOST and how long ago, they saved him from self destruction. She went further and saw images of what he had experienced on the jungle world being hunted by the aliens. That nearly broke her mind bond but she continued on probing further hoping to see something more pleasant. She shivered as she felt the strong emotions of love he felt for her and also the surging urges of sexual arousal. Her species weren't as physical in their mating rituals but seeing Zeb's raw feelings for her, made her feel things she never experienced before; an urge to engage in a physical mating ritual. Slowly she made her way out of his mind and opened her eyes to see that Zeb was sitting up straight, eyes still closed and his lips parted in a smile. His breathing had picked up in pace suggesting that he was becoming highly aroused and the sight of the growing bulge in the front part of his uniform bottoms showed her his heightened emotional state. She pulled her hands away from his cheeks and saw his eyes open, looking a bit unfocused.
"Ayessa," he stammered, "That...That...was...incredible!"
"A mind-joining for a non-telepath can be a bit disconcerting," she said as she caressed his flushed cheeks, "The feeling will soon go away."
"I'm...I'm all right," he answered, "Just a bit...woozy. I...really liked it."
"I'm glad, sycha, for with our mind-joining, we are now fully bonded."
Zeb smiled and placed his hands that were shaking a little against her face feeling her skin was becoming warmer.
"Ayessa," he said as he moved closer to her and stared into her golden eyes that reflected love for him alone, "This is how Lasats show affection."
He leaned forward and gave her a kiss on the mouth feeling her shiver a bit at the feel of his furry mouth on hers. She smiled liking the feel of the warm velvety fur. Ayessa moved closer and put her arms around him pressing her body close to deepen the kiss. Their mouths opened, tasting each other's breath. When they pulled away, Zeb smiled at her and placed his hands on her shoulders to loosen her beaded collar the material of the dress falling slowly to her waist, her full breasts of dark skin with golden markings showing. She in turn, began to remove his chest and back armor, lowering it to the blankets and then got to work on the top of his Honor Guard uniform lowering it to his waist seeing his muscular chest of purple fur. She sighed and ran a hand over the fur feeling him shiver. Zeb took both of his hands and ran them from her shoulders to her breasts that he cupped in his hands to caress them. Ayessa let out a soft moan of pleasure and stepped it up feeling him begin to kiss her neck while still caressing her breasts, her golden nipples reacting to his touch. His kisses moved downward to the area between the breasts and then to the breasts themselves, making her moan louder. As he touched her, she began to loosen the belt around his waist and pushed it to the blanket where she pulled downward on the uniform bottoms seeing his arousal growing. Soon his male parts were freed from the bottoms and she smiled seeing that part of him. She reached down to touch that which made him male and he began to purr in a high state of arousal.
"A...Ayessa," he whispered his breathing getting quicker, "I want to mate with you."
"Sycha," she moaned her body shivering in anticipation of what was about to happen, "I want to feel you...inside me."
"Oh...Karabast!" he moaned wanting to get closer to her.
She lowered her dress the rest of the way and her brood pouch was pulsating with arousal and glowing with a golden hue that was spreading to the upper half of her body. Zeb kept up with his kisses to her and then felt Ayessa press her body up to his showing she was ready to mate. He lifted his head from her breasts and saw her golden eyes shining with a high state of arousal and she pressed her brood pouch close to await his entrance. With a low purr of desire, Zeb thrust himself into Ayessa's brood pouch feeling her respond to the feelings of arousal and she pressed even closer, her fingers literally digging into the fur of his shoulders as they mated. A golden glow suddenly appeared from Ayessa's body and spread to envelop Zeb in it's brilliance. The two beings moved as one and the moans escaping from both of them, echoed through the shelter. This went on for close to a half hour when they finally reached their peak and fell away panting heavily. Ayessa layed her head against his sweaty chest taking in his musky scent that was like a love potion to her. Zeb put an arm around her his breathing in a state of post-sex panting. He breathed in her honey-scented sweat and gave her a kiss on her lips hoping for another round of mating. Lasat males had a lot of stamina and he hoped that Ayessa had just as much. Was he in for a surprise! The couple mated off and on for hours and finally exhaustion set in and they fell asleep in each other's arms, the post-mating sweat drying on their bodies.
In the morning, Zeb woke up to see Ayessa fixing them a breakfast of Ruusian eggs and Nerf bacon. His stomach growled and he smiled seeing that Ayessa had on a robe that barely covered her. He sat up and realized that he was still naked and reached over to his clothes pack and grabbed a pair of shorts to put on. Ayessa heard him and turned to smile seeing her bondmate awake and dressed in a very small pair of shorts that showed off his muscular physique.
"Good morning, Garazeb," she said and saw him stand up to go over and kneel behind her. She felt his big furry arms wrap around her and she sighed.
"Good morning, lover," he whispered and moved his hands to the inside of her robe to caress her breasts.
"If you want any breakfast, I can't finish it with you touching me in that way," she said a smile on her face. She turned her head around to give him a quick kiss on the lips.
"I'm not hungry for food," he whispered stepping up the caresses getting her aroused.
Shutting off the portable stove, Ayessa turned around and pulled Zeb close to her, the robe falling away. Soon the couple were mating again...and again...all through the morning. Finally they reached a point where they were hungry for food instead of sex and sat enjoying a meal of the eggs and bacon.
Luckily the rain had let up and after getting dressed in warmer clothes, they went for a walk on the otherside of the waterfall where they sat on a rock watching the water cascade over the rocks creating a mist that was chilly to the feel. That didn't bother them for they just enjoyed being in each other's arms and Ayessa even undid her coat so her Lasat lover could have a go at her breasts again. Being Barrelian, Ayessa never realized how exciting physical touch to her body could feel and that Zeb was the one touching her. The first time they had mated the night before, made her feel not only loved, but totally female...a Barrelian female that could not only join in mind, but in body. She couldn't get enough of her Lasat bondmate's furry body and the feel of him inside her brood pouch.
After four days at their honeymoon spot, Ayessa lay cuddled up to Zeb watching the Lasat sleep, his naked furry body drying from post-mating sweat. He had an arm around her body, a hand on her left breast. She put her hand over his bigger one and massaged the furry fingers, the velvety fur warm to the touch.
"I love you so much," she whispered pressing her naked body closer. He sighed in his sleep and she snuggled closer and looked down to her brood pouch that was glowing faintly from mating. She reached down to separate the folds of the opening and saw a gentle glow in the back of the pouch. A smile crossed her face and tears appeared in her golden eyes.
"Garazeb," she whispered lifting his hand up to kiss, "I now carry your seed inside my brood pouch. Sycha...I will bear you a son or daughter..."
Closing her eyes to fall asleep and dream of having Zeb's child, she prepared for the anticipation of the birth and couldn't wait to tell him the next morning.
"I'm gonna be a...father?" Zeb asked the next morning after they loaded up the speeder for the trip back to the base, "That was fast!"
"Well...," Ayessa answered batting her long-lashed eyes at him, "We mated alot of times and Barrelian females can become pregnant the first time around."
"Wow..." was all Zeb could say as he felt tears in his eyes, "I'm gonna be a father! Ayessa, will you be all right? After all...the baby will be half Lasat and half Barrelian."
"Don't worry your furry head, sycha," she answered, "My grandmother who was Twi'lek, had a healthy mixed-species baby. I will be fine. Let's go home and tell the rest of the family."
Zeb couldn't say another word. He just hugged Ayessa close and kissed her on the lips. He couldn't wait to tell Hera, Kanan, Ezra, Sabine, Rex and Kallus the happy news...
