Don't Call Me Kitten! (21 page)

The
androgynous winged being raised his palm outwards in a show of
greeting. “I am Oghma, mate of Eadaoin. Your sister’s town is in
great peril. She has gone there to help, so I came here to stand
for her and our kind. If the people here are willing we will allow
you to join this patch of jungle with the land of faery but it will
require an act of union to seal the pact. Only two beings of great
power consummating their love can work the magic your idea
requires.”

Joining the
jungle with the land of faery. Where was this going? Everyone
seemed to know what the idea was except her but she guessed that
didn’t matter as long as someone knew what it was. “Um, we’ve only
got one great being here.”

“No you are
wrong blue star goddess. It is only you do not yet recognise who
you are. You birthed onto this planet for this purpose. To heal the
DNA of this planet and to consummate the union of the eagle and the
condor. You were born in northern Europe, the land of the eagle and
given a great mind versed in science but your heart was chained by
circumstance. Only by freeing it and uniting it with the great
peace maker, the messenger from the angels, can your heart be freed
for you to become all you were meant to be. Do you choose great
one? Do you choose to save these people? Do you choose to remember
all that you are? Do you choose to love this man?”

Helena looked
around. While she’d been talking with Oghma the whole town had
stopped and were now assembled, watching her and the others. She
had no doubt they couldn’t see the fairy but she sensed they knew
that something was going down. They watched her expectantly. The
universe, or whatever Simon called it, the all-spirit or something,
was backing her into a corner. It had to know she loved Zex. It had
to know she wouldn’t let these people down if there was a way to
help. “Damn. Okay, how do we do this union? I assume there’s a bit
more to it than just me and Zex having sex.”

Yaguar came
forward. “Forgive me lady. I cannot see who it is you speak with
but if it is a formal union you need to perform there is a sacred
place not far from here. There is a sinkhole filled with crystal
clear water, fed from an underground spring. The glade around it is
blessed. You must come and then you will see what I mean.”

Oghma seemed
pleased with the shaman’s suggestion. “That is one of our most
treasured places around here. It should suffice. Ask the shaman to
get the townspeople to form a ring of power around the outside of
the site.”

Helena took a
moment to relay all that she and Oghma had discussed.

Zex smiled
quietly to himself. Simon’s prophecy from long ago was coming true,
exactly as he had foretold.

Kit pulled him
to one side and whispered in his ear. “If you are going to do this
right for Helena you are going to need a couple of things and a
quick 101.”

Zex was
surprised but knew that whatever Kit was up to she was doing in her
friend’s best interests. “Okay. Tell me.”

Helena
followed Yaguar down to the sacred glade. “Aren’t we going to wait
for Zex?”

“No Kit took
him down there. I saw her come back a few minutes ago.” Yaguar
stopped just before the brow of the ridge. “Just follow the path
down. He’s waiting for you. I’ll go and organise the townsfolk to
form a loose perimeter up here. We will give you privacy that
way.”

Helena
blushed. “Ah, thanks for that. How are we going to time all
this?”

“Don’t you
worry about that. You go follow your heart. If I concentrate I can
see and hear Oghma the same way you can. He will guide me.”

“Good luck
Yaguar. I haven’t a clue what I’m doing but whatever it is I hope
it works.”

“Me too.”

Helena walked
to the pool and paused at the sight before here. By the edge of the
tranquil pool was a large boulder. Someone had driven a spike into
it and attached a light chain. The other end of the chain was
attached to what looked like a dog collar around the neck of a man.
A beautiful naked man who at this moment was kneeling, sitting
comfortably on his heels as if it was a natural everyday pose. Back
straight but not rigid. His hands were loosely clasped in his lap.
His eyes looked studiously at the ground but she knew somehow he
was aware of her presence. He was the picture of peace and poise.
He had done this for her. “Zex, I never meant...I would never have
asked this of you.”

“May I speak
mistress?”

“Hell, yeah,
of course.”

“I will not be
your slave or your submissive in our everyday life but from time to
time I think we can play. If you will teach me that is.”

Helena walked
towards him, till she could nearly reach out to touch him. Tears
streamed in her eyes. “I am truly honored.”

“Then take me
mistress, take the gift I offer you, take the love and the power. I
am yours.”

Her hand
stroked his face and then lifted his chin so she could see his
eyes. “ I accept the gift you offer but know that I will always
give you the freedom and respect you give me. I will never belittle
you or demean you. I could never do that to you. I will however
enjoy the control you offer, the exchange of power and love. You
are not less than me and I am not more than you. Our play will be a
worship of each other.” She kissed him. Gently at first then
harder, grasping his hair and pulling him more tightly into her
embrace. Then she began to lick him, thoroughly. First his face,
then his neck, slowly working her way down.

Zex groaned as
he felt her accept what he offered, himself.

“Did I say you
could groan.”

“No Mistress.”
He shuddered as her tongue lapped his nipples.

She paused to
remove her clothes then offered each breast to his tongue. “Suck!
Yes, like that.”

Zex obeyed,
using his tongue to caress before he sucked hard. Each nipple
swelled under his attention, until they were both rigid and
flushed. Like ruby jewels decorating a dessert.

Helena
groaned, she was allowed to. “Lie down Zex. I want to ride
you.”

His cock liked
the sound of that. Not that it hadn’t been rigid from the moment he
heard her footsteps down the trail. It just got worse. His blood
went south, swelling his engorged cock to its fullest size. He
wasn’t small. For a moment of worry he feared he’d scare her off.
That was until she reached down to take him in her hands. The lust
in her eyes and the quick flick of the tongue as she wet her lips
letting him know that she was not put off.

Laying prone
he watched her with awe and joy as she lowered herself onto his
cock. Disbelief shook him for a moment as he realise she was a
virgin. How had this amazing woman lived half her life and worked
in sex clubs, yet never taken a man. He held his breath as she
paused in her descent. Then she took a breath and let it out as she
took him the rest of the way. Pain streaked her face for a moment
then faded. She’d made him hers.

Leaning
forward she kissed him again. “Fuck me now.”

Oh he intended
to. He pushed up with his hips, timing his thrusts with her
downward descents. They synced and it became a dance. A fluid dance
that joined their bodies as one. It became a motion without end,
beyond time and space. The universe alive in play. Their united
bodies became one with the environment around them. Bliss waxed,
starting as a ripple on the still pond of their joined minds but
growing until became a great wave. It came to shore, driving all in
its wake. The orgasm rippled out from their centre, blessing the
land.

High on the
ridge above the people rejoiced as waves of blue and red
butterflies descended in clouds onto the trees and the birds broke
into a crescendo of chorus.

A light
blinking irritatingly on his desk console let Sakla know he had a
call waiting for pick up. He read the screen readout identifying
the caller. It was the commander from their moon base. He flicked a
switch and took the call on speaker phone. “You’d better be calling
me to say you’re ready to launch Bates.”

“Yes Mr
Sauros. We’re ready for your command.”

“There’s no
chance this thing will miss?”

“Not a chance
in hell Sir, we’ve double and triple checked all the
calculations.”

“What about
the danger of it being picked up on surveillance and
intercepted?”

“We thought of
that Sir. We’re using a special technology that will absorb any
signals that might otherwise bounce off the rock. It won’t appear
on any radar Sir, not until it’s too late. They’ll never know it’s
coming.”

Sakla relaxed
a little in his chair. “You have a go for launch.”

Simon
teleported to the hill above the town, followed in short order by
Thex, Tyra, Arion and the others from the South American
expedition.

Thex knew
something major was up but hadn’t managed to pick it from Simon’s
brain yet. “Why are we here Simon? We all felt your panic?”

“Sakla’s
launching his asteroid.”

“Asteroids
don’t get launched. They roam around the space neighbourhood until
they fall on some luckless planet.”

“Well one’s
about to fall on Boswell and believe me Sakla launched it. He has a
base on the dark side of the moon. He launched it from there. In
truth it is a weapon but as he has no wish to start a war an
innocuous looking rock is his cover story.”

“Shit. Well we
better launch the spaceship. It’s still parked at the bottom of the
lake but we can get it up and running quickly and blast that sucker
out the sky.”

Trust Thex to
want to blast it. “We don’t have time and even if we did it would
only break the rock into smaller chunks that would cause chaos and
destruction over a much wider area. We need to contain the damage
to as small an area as possible.”

“How much
damage. How big is this thing?”

“Big enough to
take out the town, lake, surrounding forest including your old
crater survival training camp.”

Arion
calculated a few sums in his head. “That big?”

“It’s not so
much it’s size but its velocity that’s the problem. It’s coming in
a lot faster than any normal asteroid I know of. Really we don’t
have a lot of time. We need to get the townsfolk up here now.”

But people
were already materialising “We’re here.” Doc pointed out.

Simon relaxed
visibly and did a mental head count. “Okay. Listen up folks. The
enemy is about to attempt to wipe us out. We’re safe up here. It’s
a protected zone my mates and I created the other day but it’s not
big enough to protect our homes, the land, the plants and the
wildlife that will be affected by the asteroid coming our way.

Little Tommy
gave out a cry “But my pet skink Freddy is down there.”

Simon felt for
the little boy. His issue was minute on the scale of things but to
the boy it was his heart. He knelt down until he was Tommy’s height
so he could speak to him man to man. “That’s precisely why I must
ask you to join with us. Are you prepared to do what is needed to
save not just your lizard but everything else down there.”

The boy still
looked stricken but he nodded. “Yes Mr Simon.”

Simon gave the
boy a hug. When he drew away the boy’s pet was in his arms. The
boy’s jaw dropped. Speechless he cuddled his pet to him like it was
the most precious thing in all the world and raced over to show his
mother.

Simon
straighten up and looked around again. He needed some others. He
sent out a mind link to his mother who promptly materialised before
him. “I’m sorry mum but I need you to do something for us.”

“Whatever son.
You know I’ll do whatever is needed. This is my land too.”

“I need you to
mate Meta.”

Ma choked a
cough, in shock. “Um well, I should have known we’d need a rite to
protect the land but um, I’m not sure Meta has ever fancied
me.”

Thex’s father
morphed from his usual tabby cat form to the image of a rugged
twenty something man and made his way to the front of the crowd,
nude. He looked offended. “That’s simply not true. I’ve idolised
you for like forever. You were the one that was unobtainable.”

Ma couldn’t
help raking her eyes over Meta’s rugged well-honed body but was
completely perplexed by his statement. “Why unobtainable?”

“You were the
mother of the seer. That you gave birth to someone so powerful
daunted us all. Why would you want me?”

“Silly man. Do
you mean that all this time I’ve lusted after you we never managed
to read each other’s thoughts and feel how we truly felt about each
other?”

Simon cleared
his throat. “We’re running out of time, can you possibly discuss
this after you’ve mated?”

Ma grinned at
her son. “I think we can. But just one thing. Could we have a
little privacy for this?” She asked sheepishly.

Simon was a
bit bemused at his mother being the shy maiden. He guessed it had
been a while for her. “We’ll form a circle around you and turn our
backs, that’s about the best I can do at short notice.”

“That’ll
do.”

“Right,
well...” There was only one other person they needed and that was
Eadaoin and then he saw her, him, her...er, whatever, soaring down
through the trees until she landed in front of the crowd.
“Greetings Eadaoin. You know what I am asking.”

“You have our
permission. Proceed.”

At least the
Feya cut to the chase. “I’ll need you to stand with twelve or us
who represent the assembled beings here.”

“That will be
fine.”

Simon called
over Sally, John, Doc, Ally, Melissa with Adin in her arms, Rob her
husband by her side and a rather surprised Sarah Brown to form the
circle with him, Eadaoin and his mates. Turning to the crowd he
addressed them. “Everyone, close your eyes. See yourself as you
are, without judgement, without praise or recrimination. Become
aware of the space around you. The space between you and your
friends and love ones. The space between you and you home, the land
you love. Be the union of yourselves and that space. Become one
with it.”
