Kismet - Fate

Separated, we went off on our own, to hunt. The final hunt, that would make or break us.

I'd given her the location, to where our rescue craft would be, and left it up to kismet, to decide our future.

I'd thought her lost to me, until she appeared, with the remainder of her clan. She would have been left there, if I had not invoked my right as the clan leader's son, to force them to take her with us.

Our destination is Prime, our home planet. Upon arrival, strict orders are given, for her to be carefully handled.

"This is the gift?"

It's my younger brother Aduih, eyeing the oomans, or one specific one. Embracing me, I stop him from going closer, with a hand on his arm.

"She belongs to me."

"There's nothing wrong with looking, and besides, you're not going to have her for long."

Word was sent, ahead of our arrival, about the yautjanoids accompanying us back to Prime. I don't expect a friendly welcome, and don't receive any either.

"Mother and father are displeased with you, especially mother."

"Take them to your ooman, have her properly cleansed, and dressed, to be presented to mother and father."

"Mother's going to kill you..., I'm surprised that Naidka hasn't already done so." He says, with a chuckle.

I leave her in his care, and go home to prepare for the celebration tonight.

"Father kept you away from them, and you ended up with one anyways."

They refused to entertain her or me, but Aduih had sense enough to bring his wife, another ooman and Amara's mate, they're gathered together in discussion.

Watching her, she's deep in conversation with her mate.

"You both have deemed it necessary to have my bloodline end with you, why?" Says, our father. We immediately come to our feet, our heads bowed in respect.

"Aduih, leave us." He commands.

Making a gesture for me to retake a seat, he sits with me. "

"We thought that, as the eldest, you would be selfless, putting aside your wants for the family."

"I never wanted to lead the clan."

"And you made sure that you wouldn't... you know how important it is, for your mother to be accepted, she'll be rejected by the other females."

"Everyone would be satisfied, except me, where would my happiness come from?" I ask, my attention going to Amara.

"From knowing that there's a just, and principled superior, leading the clan."

Following my gaze, his eyes come to rest on her, watching as her body slowly sways to the light music being played.

Her mate, taking the C'ntlip from her, takes a small drink, before pulling her into his arms. Their bodies meet, as he joins her in the dance.

I can see the lust in his eyes, and my jealous nature kicks in, when his forehead touches hers, and she smiles at something that he says to her.

Her arms going around his neck, his hands drift lower to her waist, and not able to take anymore, I avert my gaze.

"A good leader is more concerned with we, than me." Says father, leaving me to stew in my envy.

Taken to their home, we were released from our cage, and disembarked the ship, hungry, in need of a bath, and a potty break.

Vata's greeted by a male, who's watching me with a playful glint in his eyes. He leaves us with the other, who takes us to a community of humans.

Taken in by a woman, she's his wife, pretty, and kind, she was born here on this alien planet. Their homes are similar to ours on Earth, indoor plumbing and everything. It's a green living, with everything being recycled.

Clean, redressed in fresh linen, we're taking lunch with the community. Our arrival announced, everyone prepared food, and attacking it buffet style, we retire soon after.

I awake to Dominic sharing a bed with me, and Travis asleep on a mat nearby. He pulls me deeper into his embrace, and I snuggle even closer. His chin on my head, my arms around him, I drift back to sleep.

Dreaming of him, my protector, Vata... of us, under the waterfall... and Dominic interrupting our private meeting, coming up behind me. Turning away from Vata, the back of his hand gently caresses my cheek, and leaning into his touch, I lightly kiss his hand.

Lifting my chin, his finger slowly runs across my lip... before my tongue makes contact with his thumb, slowly taking it into my mouth.

A door opening wakes me, and venturing out, our hostess, has a beautiful gown in her arms. "It's for you."

White silk, and soft to the touch. "Vata had us make it for you, he sent your measurements. He wanted the best for you, wants to make sure that your comfortable."

I don't know what to say. "I... um..."

"It's okay, you had better get used to it, you're the future clan leader's wife. Whatever you want, is yours."

Wife? "We're not married..."

"Says you, he let all know who you were to him."

"What? No..."

"Aduih is his brother, we're family. Come, let's get you ready."

Joining the others, Aduih and Giselle, escort me to the celebration. Feeling nervous, I seek out and find Dominic. He's with a man, who notices me, before Dominic's appraisal, causes me to smile slightly.

He comes to me, and Giselle offers a comforting smile, before leaving with her husband. "Well... you clean up really well."

"And so do you." I state, admiring his striking good looks. Dressed in a linen shirt and pants set, that compliments his body, the butterflies start fluttering rapidly, and I blush at his awestruck gaze.

"Here, this should help." He says, offering me the fiery drink, that instantly calms me.

"Thanks."

"Come on, I want you to meet someone." Taking my hand, I let him lead me to the man, that he was with.

His lips are all that I can think of, as he and Liam talk about the current state of Earth, and the latest technological advancements. I care for Vata, but I desire the intimacy of being kissed, to express how we feel, without sex.

Growing antsy, I take another drink, and Liam getting the message, leaves us. Taking my liquid courage away from me, he takes a little, pulling me close.

I want him to kiss me, but he doesn't, telling me that he needs me, but that he doesn't want to lose his life in the process. "From what I hear, you're a married woman."

His humor, produces a smile from me, before I receive a kiss on the forehead. "Yeah, that's what I heard to." I state.

"Let's keep this PG for now." He whispers.

The soft melodic music playing, I'm loving the feel of his strong body, against mine. "Please... now..." I beg, the drink killing all modest inhibitions.

I'm aware of being pulled from Dominic's arms, and lifted. "Vata..." I state, holding tightly to him. I'd taken too much of the drink, and an ache has started between my legs.

My skin feels like it's on fire, as the inferno has blown out of control below. My hand seeking to relieve the painful tension, I'm taken into a small room lighted by candles. Placed on an alter of sorts, my dress is lifted, and his thickness invading my small space, forces a drawn out gasp from me.

"Vata..." His continual pounding, sends tidal waves of pleasure, electric and mind blowing throughout my body.

My hands searching, I explore his body in the dimly lit room, as he pleasures my body, bring me to heaven, and then back down to the worldly plane.

The tears come, emotions that I can't control, my body wracked with sobs, that I try to hold back, flow freely.

If it's always going to be like this, then yes, I'm Mrs. Vata...
