Scar and Lex find each other, finally. But will this be their first and only contact, or is there more to come for our pair?
RATED FOR ADULT THEMES, SO BE WARNED:
If inter-specie sex squicks you, please don't read further. This was a hard chapter to write, as I wanted everything to be somewhat believable. Since I have never had sex with any Yautja hunters, I am making up stuff. Go with it. I just hope it doesn't offend anyone.
I do not own AVP, just playing with the characters.
When an enemy becomes a friend chapter 13
A few days had passed and Lex seemed to have recovered nicely. Scar was not sure what Lex wanted to do, stay or leave. She hadn't really made it clear to him yet. During the last few days, she hadn't said much at all. In fact, she seemed to be pulling away from him. He continued his daily training, so at least the elders would not say he was neglecting that. Lex would go off to that place she liked so well, what she called the observation room. She would sit for hours at the large window, just staring out into space. If he went to get her, she would follow along, saying nothing. Her radical change in behavior was worrying Scar, as physically, she was better.
Today, as usual, he headed for the observation room to find her sitting on the floor, only this time she was crying. Scar knew Lex well enough that when she acted this way, there was generally a reason, and it was not anything good. "Lex. What is wrong?"
She didn't turn to look, since she knew it was Scar. Only he would show any concern for her. The word of her eventual departure had gotten around the ship. Some of the Yautja, especially the younger ones, had shown interest in her after all this time. And not just as a fellow hunter. Maybe they thought this was their last chance to know a human. Others seemed pleased, indicating they were content to see her go, and soon.
"Lex, come now." Scar crouched down and placed a hand on Lex's shoulder. "Come," he said more softly.
Lex rose and stood looking out the window. She turned and left the room, her bare feet making no sound on the metal decking. She had started going around barefoot when she realized that there was no danger in doing so. It was more comfortable to her. She headed for their quarters, not sure what she would tell Scar. All this time, she had thought to remain with the hunters the rest of her life. Now she had a reprieve. Or was it? She had been away from Earth for so long and had learned a new way of life, one that she wasn't sure she even liked. But she had adapted. And now she was told she had to leave. Was this what was upsetting her? Or was it something else? Of course, she knew the answer but hated admitting it to herself. She loved Scar. This hulking alien who was so different from her had earned her trust and affection. He had shown her time and again that he must have had similar feelings for her. He was risking his place here by defying the elders. Without saying a word, she slipped her hand into his. He stopped walking and looked at her, head tilted in confusion. She smiled as she looked up at him, and squeezed his hand tighter.
Scar thought this must be some ooman thing and didn't take his hand from hers. He continued walking back to their quarters, with Lex at his side, feeling satisfied that her eyes were not leaking water anymore.
***********
Scar removed his clothing, and washed the day's dirt from his skin. Now that he had started training again, he had to clean more of the secreted oils from his skin. When he had finished, Scar sat on the sleep mat, watching Lex wash up. She was saying something about her eyes hurting and how she hated crying. He continued watching her as she shed her clothing and removed the bands from her hair, letting it down from her usual braid. She ran her fingers through the loose hair, before sitting on the bed next to Scar. Her left arm was barely touching his right. She sighed and said nothing. He reached up to brush a hand through her hair as he had seen her do. He loved the feel of ooman hair, soft, not coarse at all like some of the prey he had captured.
Lex leaned into his hand, enjoying the waves of pleasure his caresses gave her. One time, she may have imagined Sebastian being with her in this intimate way. She had found herself attracted to him when they met on the ship. But circumstances didn't allow anything to happen between them. Now she found herself feeling similarly about Scar.
"Lex?" His voice broke through her revery. "Is there something wrong? You have not been the same since I told you we were returning you to your planet. You seem sad now. I do not understand. Do you wish to return?"
Lex turned her body towards him, pressing her face against his chest. She wound her arms around him as much as she could and held on tightly. His arm found its way around her smaller body. He leaned back onto the sleep mat, taking her with him. She was a pleasant weight on him, so slight was she compared to his bulk. His hands moved along her bare back, caressing the soft, smooth skin.
While he explored her back, Lex lay her head against his chest, feeling his warmth against her cheek. She inched up his body to bury her face in his neck, inhaling his scent. There must have been natural pheromones in his skin, for she found herself feeling deliciously light headed. She felt his hands slide down her body and caress her butt cheeks, making it very difficult for her to think. She decided not to, letting the moment carry them both to whatever conclusion they found.
Scar marveled at the softness of Lex's entire body. He had never mated with a Yautja female, and had only heard stories from those who had, but he imagined it would be similar. Only the bodies would be different. He liked the ooman form, even if it was slighter than his own.
Lex had pushed herself up on his chest, straddling his body as best she could. Her own hands were not idle, as she ran them over the smooth skin of his chest, the mottled darker skin of his shoulders. The muscles beneath her hands flexed as she rubbed his body. She took his hands and held them in her own for a moment. Then she placed them on her breasts, keeping them trapped within her hands, showing him what she liked.
Scar was confused. Yautja females didn't have breasts like oomans. But Lex seemed to be taking pleasure from his hands being on hers. She guided him along, squeezing her hands over his gently, until he understood what he was to do. But he wanted to feel them, cup them in his hands, caress the pink tips that oddly hardened beneath his touch. He watched Lex closely as she closed her eyes, and let her lips part as soft moans escaped from them.
Lex opened her eyes, and looked deeply into the warm, amber eyes of her lover. "Do you want this?" she asked him. She had already decided that if she and Scar were to be parted, there would be this one time when neither was human nor hunter, just two beings taking and giving pleasure to one another.
Scar studied his female for a moment. Then he said, "Yes. We are mates. I have wanted this for us both." He felt unaccustomed happiness as she smiled and leaned forward, pressing herself against him again. He felt himself become aroused as Lex shifted her weight on his lower body. He did not wish to hurt her, so he let her take control.
Lex knew that Scar would be larger than any human male she'd slept with. It startled her, but she saw that he was letting her do what she wanted. She moved against him, feeling the size of him as he became more aroused. Her own body obviously felt no fear, as it prepared for sex. She was wet, and Lex found herself wanting this male, as she could not call him a man, more than anything else right now. She leaned forward and again buried her face into Scar's neck, lightly biting the tender flesh there. She felt him buck beneath her. This made her laugh with joy, and she lifted herself up and fell slowly down on him, taking only part of him inside her. With his size, she would have to be careful. But it was enough for her, and apparently enough for him, as he responded beneath her. His hands held her around the waist, as she moved up and down slowly.
For his part, Scar felt himself inside the warm, wet body of his mate, and knew only pleasure. As he held her in his hands, careful not to scratch her, he knew he could not lose her. Now they were truly bound together, regardless of what decision the elders made. He let his own body find the place that it needed to be, and rode that wave with Lex. As with his kind, he knew he could not take his pleasure until she had taken hers. Together they formed a matched set, one to one, until the two could not tell where they were separated.
Lex heard a low growl coming from Scar's throat, as they moved in unison. She felt her climax approaching and began to move faster. She dared to take a bit more of him inside her. Lex pressed her hands against Scar's chest, her fingers digging into the flesh there. She didn't take her eyes from his, until the moment when she climaxed, crying out, and then collapsing on his chest.
Scar felt her inner body squeezing him, which compelled him to thrust upward until he felt himself spill inside of his mate. He held her, not realizing that his nails had pierced her skin ever so slightly. She seemed not to be aware of this, as she lay upon him, relaxed and quite sated.
Lex didn't want to move. She felt him slip from her, leaving her empty. But the moment between them left her glowing as well. How could she be made to leave? Earth wouldn't feel like home anymore. Scar had taken her under his wing, taught her, defended her with his life, and loved her.
She had to tell him, even if he didn't understand. "I love you," she said. She looked at the confused look on Scar's face. "It means I cannot live without you."
That he understood. He could not live without her either. She would be his lifemate. No other would do. No matter what happened now, they were a mated pair.
Lex slipped off Scar, lying by him in her usual place. She felt the pain of the scratches on her back, but took pleasure in the knowledge that it was she who made him lose control.
"Turn over," he said. Scar took a small pack of the healing gel and gently rubbed it on the scratches. "I am sorry," he lamented.
"It's ok," said Lex, as she lay still while he applied the gel. It was already feeling better. She lay on her belly, watching his concern. When he was finished, she reached up and caressed the cheek and mandibles of his face, memorizing his features. Just in case. Then she snuggled up against him, and with his arm lying over her protectively, she fell asleep.
