Sorry it's been a while. I've been very lazy. Bad girl!

Warning! Sex in this chapter!

"We're doing this now?"

Her voice is muffled by the furs. I ignore her. Instead of bothering with the laces on her dress, I shred it with my claws and throw the left-over pieces across the room. She huffs.

"Thought you said you didn't like buying dresses."

"Silence." I grunt.

She obeys, and I pause. Something is odd. She is not complaining. I'd figured she'd protest. I sniff her. The scent of desire is strong on her skin; it's an intoxicating musk. I wonder if she's thought of mating with me before now. How else would she be this ready?

I pull my loincloth to the side and lean my hips forward. I growl. She's not high enough. The catch in her breath when she feels the length of my cock on her back pleases me. I feel her squirm and ease off of her. She adjusts, pulling her knees together and leaning forward onto the floor.

"Put your knees outside mine." She says.

I do and I find that I can enter her now. Obviously she has mated before. I'm not happy about the thought. I grind along her outer walls, and she groans. She wiggles and aligns me; she's not in the mood to be slow. I'm happy to oblige.

I sink into her cunt quickly and meet a barrier. She yelps and flies forward, easing off me.

"That's my cervix. You have to wait until I adjust to your length."

I grunt to acknowledge her words. This time I slide in more slowly, and am able to sink myself fully in her without causing her pain. I give her two more slow pumps just to be sure, but I can control myself no longer.

I set a quick rhythm, pounding her slick walls with my cock, my hips slapping loudly against hers.

Small as she was, I already knew she would be tight. She did not disappoint. The real surprise was when she tightened further. I slow to feel the new sensation and it fades before tightening again.

"Quit distracting me. It takes a lot of concentration to do that."

She was tightening her inner walls on her own. I resume my pace with renewed vigor. Pressure inside builds quickly, and my cock throbs as I spill seed in her womb.

"Don't stop." She orders.

I can hear her panting, I can see her hands clenching the furs, and I know she's close, so close.

"Bite me!"

"What?" I'm not sure I heard right.

"Bite me!" she repeats.

I lean forward and sink my teeth into the soft flesh on the base of her neck. She cries out and I feel her walls ripple with her climax. It sends me into a second, smaller orgasm.

She collapses on her stomach and does not move. She trembles. I gently ease myself off of her so I can lie down and pull her into my side. She looks at me, and I see her pupils have dilated. She snuggles into my side, throws a thin blanket over us, and is asleep.

She has conceived, but that does not sate my appetite for her body. Currently I have her ankles in my hands and am holding them near her ears while I pound her furiously. She has already come several times but she keeps tight. She knows I'm close. She hisses when she feels me throb inside her, and her eyes roll back when she feels my seed spill into her.

She has told me that is her favorite part, feeling me come inside her.

A few moons have passed since our first mating, and I can see a tiny swell in her belly. I'm ecstatic. I try not to show it, but I think she knows anyway.

I slip out of her and nibble along her collarbone, scraping my teeth against her skin. It is as close as I can get to the 'kisses' she peppers me with throughout the day. She likes them after mating.

There is a knock at the door.

She huffs, but doesn't complain when I stand and straighten my loin cloth. I might look presentable, but the scent of mating hangs heavy on my skin. I swipe myself with a wet rag and toss it to Alex. She nods.

When I answer the door, it is Ruha standing before me. He holds a slip of paper out to me. I take it and read it. Ji'kra has ordered that I take some unblooded hunting off world. I want to refuse, but I know he has ordered me to do so because I am the only warrior that hasn't already done so.

Ruha steps away but I call him back.

"Will you do something for me?" I ask.

"Depends. What do you need?"

"I need someone I can trust to stay with Alex while I'm gone. Hurg'rok still gives her nasty looks."

I hear Alex shuffle behind me, and Ruha looks at her for a long moment before I see the realization dawn on his face. Few people see Alex at all; only one now knows that she is pregnant. Ruha will know the importance of this trust.

"It will be done."

I gesture and lead him through the house. "This is the guest room. You may stay here. She has the means to maintain the house. We have food stocked but you may need to go to market from time to time. She has money stashed that she can give you."

Ruha nods and I turn to Alex.

"I have been ordered to take unblooded hunting off world. It should not take long. Ruha is going to stay with you while I'm gone."

She eyes him for a long moment before nodding.

"When do you leave?"

I check the paper. "Tomorrow."

She huffs. "I had hoped…"

She doesn't have to finish. "I know, so had I. It should not take me long though."

She nods.

I have been with the unblooded for two moons and only a handful have managed to mark themselves. I resist the urge to roll my eyes as Alex would. I coach them without yelling. It is good practice for patience with my own future child.

Yet, as Alex would say, 'Patience is not a virtue that I have.'

Neither do I, apparently.

We trudge back to the ship where I see I have an incoming call. I dismiss the youngsters and answer it.

It is Ji'kra. The look on his face does not bode well.

"I have bad news Kri'za," He begins. "Hurg'rok entered your house last night. He caught Ruha by surprise. Ruha lives, but barely. Alex drove him off, but Hurg'rok has done his damage."

I am silent, praying that the feeling of dread in my stomach will go away.

"Kri'za, she has lost the babe."

We are not supposed to show weakness to superiors, but I can't help but to lean forward and put my face in my hands.

"She is depressed and will not eat. I am recalling you."

"Thank you, Ji'kra. I will be there soon."

I find Alex lying in my pile of furs, crying silently and staring blankly at the wall. My heart twists when I see her flat stomach where a little bump used to be. I sit down and pull her into my lap. She wraps her arms around my neck and buries her face into my chest.

Just to let you know, I did research. As it is, a woman's vagina is only three to four inches long normally. Once aroused, it will lengthen, and will actually accommodate a penis no matter what size, though it does need time to adjust.
