Embracing Emily (#7 Warriors of Kelon) (15 page)

He pulled back, his gaze soaking her in, his hands roaming over her body. “Are you well? You look pale, you have lost weight.”

She laughed. “Oh, my love, I am so much better now you are back with me. There is so much we have to talk about." She took his hand and guided it over her stomach. “You're going to be a father. What I said, I meant; I can’t raise our younglings alone.”

“Father?” The perplexed expression made her want to laugh and cry. “How? I remember you told me...it was not possible...because.”

“We were wrong.” Joy spread through her and she peppered kisses on his handsome face. “Hurr told me human contraceptives don’t work. Kelon seed acts as a counter agent to the pill I was on, but I’m so thankful it didn’t work. If I didn’t become pregnant, we would still be apart. The universe works in strange ways, don’t you think?”

He shook his head. “I do not care as long as this is real...you are real.”

“I’m touching you, my love, and you can touch me. This is real, here and now. We are together as we should have been. I’m so sorry my father was such an asshole.”

“He lied.”

“Yes, he lied.” She nodded.

“I see that now. Why did I not see it before? I should have known you would never reject me. I claimed you—you are mine.”

“That’s right, my love, I’m yours. I think you did not see it because you feel my love not only with your heart, but with your soul. I think he knew you were already, uh, weakened, here.” She tapped his head. “It was evil and wrong for my father to strike out where it would hurt you most. I hate him for it. I disowned him as my father, and when he tried to kill our babies...”

His arms tightened and his body stiffened. “He did what? I will kill him!”

She ran his hand up his arms, loving the feel of his skin under her fingers. “It’s okay, I wouldn’t have let him, and thankfully Hurr and Jyl came to my rescue. I became sick and my father was forced to bring in Hurr to help. When Hurr and Jyl learned my father lied and what he tried to make the human medical staff do, Jyl put me under Kelon protection. No one can hurt us anymore, Vallarr, or our babies.”

She hugged him close, resting her head on his chest, listening to the strong beats of his heart.

“How long have I been here?” Vallarr glanced around the barren room.

“A few weeks,” said Solron, stepping into view. She lifted her head from Vallarr’s chest to glance up at the Healer. No doubt, he has been listening in.

“Are you feeling well enough to leave, Vallarr?”

Vallarr rocked forward onto his knees, but not once did he release her. He cradled her in his arms and rose to his feet, a testimony to his continuing physical strength. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Better than I have...now, I have my
Corami
, healer. I have questions though. My mind is still...unclear.”

“Which I understand. Come then. I prescribe bathing and much food, and she needs to eat as much as you do; carrying your younglings, she needs extra nutrition. Afterwards, we will answer your questions.”

“I will not let her go.” Vallarr growled. Ah, there was the possessive man she loved so well. She grinned, her heart bubbling with new joy and renewed love. She lay her head against his chest.

Solron chuckled. “I would not expect you to. She can tend to your needs as you do hers.”

“Good.” He carried her out, secure in his arms, as she was meant to be.

Regaining his sanity was as precious as the woman he held in his arms. He still struggled to believe she was here. The beauty of her blue eyes staring back so lovingly into his made his heart lurch.

He followed Solron out of the ward. More and more of the nightmare he had been living in started to clear from his mind. He remembered fragments of his care and treatment here in the Healing centre. His mind had shut off from seeing them, not wanting to live in the world without the human woman he needed more than anything, now in his arms.

Here she was, soft and compliant against him. He struggled to hold on to the thread and cement the fact this is real, she is real and he held her.

By the fire demons, I will never let her go.

Solron lead them to a large room. Tables, chairs and a bed furnished the room; beyond it another open door which no doubt was a bathing chamber.

“Take as much time as you need. Food will be here shortly. When you are ready for those answers, call my office on the com.”

Vallarr nodded his thanks. Solron smiled and left, the door sliding shut behind him.

He carried his woman into the bathing room.

“Wow, that’s a big tub.” She rubbed her hands over his chest. His body responded, his cock hardened, straining against the restrictive covering.

He set her on the side, activating the water flow system from the controls on the edge. Water rushed in from three different directions, quickly filling the tub.

She waited with patient, yet hungry eyes, her gaze roaming over his half-naked body. He smiled when a lovely, pink hue crept into her cheeks as she shyly lifted her gaze to meet his.

Real and mine.

Her eyes shone with fresh tears. “I’ve missed you so much, my love.”

“Shh, my sweet. Your healing touch has helped me see again. Have no more tears.” He gently pulled her to her feet while he fell to his knees and peeled the dress up and off her body.

She flicked off her sandals and raised her arms. His breath expelled in a rush when he gazed upon all her pale-skinned beauty. He noticed the nipples of her full breasts darkened slightly in colour from their pale pink to a slightly darker tone. His gaze dropped to her soft, rounded belly and he caressed it gently.

His younglings grew in here? Such a wonder. Vallarr knew he needed to grow stronger, physically and mentally; he must fight to overcome everything, to be the best father he could be, the best
Corami
to Emily.

He kissed her belly and Emily moaned softly, her fingers threading through his wild, untamed hair.

“Mine.”

“Yes, my love, yours. Always, I promise.”

The controls beeped when the water reached the right levels and shut off. He shoved down his only covering and again lifted her into his arms, stepping over into the tub, lowering them both into the soothing, hot water.

With each passing moment, the more he touched her, caressed her body and washed her, the more real she felt. It brought joy to him to touch her like this. She took her turn to bathe him and wash his hair, lathering his body with loving attention.

Nothing ever felt so good.

“I’ve missed this, missed us,” she murmured, pressing a kiss against his shoulder.

“I need to feel you, Emily, be inside you. I need to bond and reclaim you.” He pulled her back against his chest, his lips finding her ear lobe and sucking it into his mouth, feeling her shudder in his arms. With soft kisses along her neck his fingertips took pleasure in following the same path of his lips, on her smooth skin.

“Yes, Vallarr, I want you so much. I need you.”

“Will it be okay...” He rubbed her stomach. “...will it harm the...our younglings?”

She turned in his arms, pushed up and kissed him hard on the mouth. “Making love won’t harm them. They are and I am strong; I want you inside me. Take me, Vallarr, show me how much you love me.”

Holding her tight against his body, he lifted them from the water. She saw his intense desperation in his gaze and melted in his arms.

She wanted him, desperately, she needed him to take her now. His head moved down and their lips met as he carried her wet into the room, laying her down on the bed. His kiss was gentle, but she parted her lips and his tongue moved between them and passion took over. The kiss deepened and their tongues sought each other. She nipped at his lips and he sucked her tongue into his mouth.

His right hand moved to cup her arse cheek, holding her against him while the other hand caressed her back. She felt the hand on her arse squeeze, and electric, erotic chills surged through her body. Her nipples grew hard and her pussy moistened in eager anticipation.

She trailed her lips along his jaw to his ear and his lobe, swirling her tongue in it. Vallarr groaned. Hungry for him, she kissed his neck and bit gently.

She felt his erection straining against her belly, throbbing hot and hard. He hovered above her, his gaze roaming over every inch as if to make sure she really was there. He lowered himself over her. She held up her hand, pushing against his chest. He stopped. She lifted herself partially off the bed and kissed his chest, lavishing attention on each his masculine nipples before moving to his wonderful eight-pack. She wanted to make love to him as much he did to her.

“Let me love you, Vallarr, please.” He groaned, but rolled to his side, giving her full access to his wonderful male body.

She shuffled down and trailed a kisses down over his lower abdomen, her fingers taking his cock in her hand, loving the way he shuddered in pleasure under her touch. She kissed the tip of his duel-slit cock, swirling her tongue over the leaking pre-cum from each to enjoy the combined flavours of the sweet, yet sour taste. She took it into her mouth, swirling around the head and sucking.

She felt his fingers threading though her hair, as if unable to stop himself. His breathless moans filled the air.

That’s it, baby, lose yourself in me.

“Emily!” He panted, and then grabbed her, pulling her off his cock, flipping her over in one swift move. “Any more and I will peak in your mouth. I want to be inside you when I peak.”

She grinned. “Anything you want, my love.” His mouth dropped to hers, kissing her while his hands cupped her breasts. He licked down her throat to her chest before licking each nipple and sucking them into his mouth.

Emily writhed under him, her moans filling the air while his other hand slid over her belly and down between her thighs. She gasped when he delved lower to her outer lips, finding her clit and swirling it his finger. Her body arched at the pure pleasure of his touch. He played lightly while sucking one breast, and then the other.

Then, he was gone for a heartbeat. He pushed her legs wide and buried his face between her moist heat.

“Oh, God, yes!” His tongue found her clit and he sucked it into his mouth, hard. She felt his teeth graze over the sensitive bud. Her body quivered as he lifted her hips, positioning her for better access. He licked and sucked, his tongue pushing into her hole and sliding back out to swirl around her clit. All the while, one hand squeezed a breast, rolling the nipple between his thumb and forefinger, while the other hand now probed at her slick channel, thrusting in two thick digits.

The orgasm hit hard, making her cry out as her body convulsed and shook from pleasure.

“Yess,” he hissed, “this, I know, is real!”

He got up, moving between her legs with his extremely hard cock in his hand, rubbing the head of it against her wet lips and slowly parted her lips, pushing into her.

God, how she missed this, the feeling of him embracing her body. She quivered with the pleasure of him making her feel whole, their two souls joined once again.

He stroked in and out of her, his face straining with pleasure. He groaned, gripped her hips and started pounding faster, harder and deeper while her laboured breathing and moans echoed in the room.

“Yes, my love, oh, yes! Never stop, love me, Vallarr!”

His control snapped and he pounded into her like a wild beast. She loved every minute of it, loved how she made him lose control. She cried out when he pushed her body over the edge once again; she soared to the stars.

She felt his cock twitch, his body tense, and then convulse. He roared out her name as he came in hot spurts inside her.

He continued to thrust, but his erection slowly softened and he gathered her in his arms, rolling them to their sides, placing kisses over her face in gentle reverence. She wrapped her arms around him, wanting to cry again from the love in her heart.

“Thank you, my love, for making me whole again. I promise to try to be a better man for us, for our family.”

She rested her head on his chest and reached up. “Vallarr, you always are the better man. Always were and always will be.”

Emily sighed in contentment as she sat in her husband’s lap, watching two little twin boys, Caleb and Conner. They had amazing eyes of dark cobalt blue. She wondered what colour eyes her babies would have, and rubbed her distended belly, Vallarr’s hand moving over hers, and she smiled back at him.

Visiting the home of Kerr and Alice was a regular thing. Not only did Emily and Alice get on wonderfully, but they found great friends in Rachel and Tara, added to the fact Emily and Vallarr's home was only half a block from Alice and Kerr’s.

She adored her friends' children and couldn’t wait to hold her own in her arms.

Emily watched Kerr smile with adoration at his wife, Alice, as she sat on the floor playing with simple coloured blocks, building the children towers, so they could knock them down. Occasionally, they would shove one or two into their mouths and chew.

“Teething is a tough time for them,” said Kerr, grinning as Conner crawled over to him, offering up one of the chewed blocks.

“Says the man who sleeps through their midnight cries.” Alice teased.

In three months living on Kelon, Kerr presented all the hard evidence to Vallarr. It went a long way to helping him forgive himself for what happened. He could finally let go and place the blame where it belonged. The Xersons had a hell of a lot to pay for, and the Kelons were already pressing intergalactic criminal charges against their race, but the most important thing was keeping them from ever doing any more damage.

Emily took Solron’s offer of the noninvasive surgery and, for the first time since she was struck with polio at age fourteen, she could fully use her left leg, which helped while she grew heavier and rounder with her own two little miracles.

Hurr and Jyl kept in regular touch. Solron approved Hurr’s plan to learn more about mental health and appointed new healers to travel to Earth to study it.
