Saving Sara: Warriors Of Kelon Book 5 (9 page)

The rest of the universe
be
damned. He followed his instincts and it brought him his
heart’s desire. Now he had her, he would never let her go.

Chapter 7

Sara resigned herself to
knowing that
Sorlon
liked to carry her and she loved
being in his arms. She no longer protested when he swept her up and insisted on
carrying her. It was sweet, even romantic, his carrying her through his apartment,
giving her a quick tour, which of course, ended in the bedroom.

She giggled when he bounced
her on the soft mattress.

“No more off-planet
expeditions, too many ears to hear what we get up to.” He came down on top of
her,
then
assaulted the side of her neck with his
lips.

Sara tilted her head,
allowing her husband better access to her throat. She moaned softly, sliding
her hands up over his broad shoulders, and anchoring them to draw him closer.

“I’m surprised how quickly we
reached your planet,” she said, her voice sounding breathless and husky.

“We have direct coordinates
to fold space between Earth and
Kelon
. Otherwise,
hyperdrive
is dangerous, but we are home now.”

He raised his head and
stroked her hair. She stared up into his dark gaze, filled with tender love and
heated passion.

“My home is anywhere with
you. I love you,
Solron
.”

“And I you,
my
corami
.”

“What is
a
corami
?”

“You are the one who fills
the void in my heart so no empty space remains. You are the one who makes my
life complete.”

Her vision blurred as warm
tears slid down the side of her face. “Oh,
Solron
,
it’s so beautiful. You are my
corami
.”

He
dipped his head
before kissing her.
She kissed him back with the full force of the love and desire in her heart. He
broke the kiss, pulling back to again gaze at her.

“My whole life has been
planned for me by my father. Knowing I would never be a warrior, he put me into
the ranks of the healers and he even planned who I would mate. I went along
with his plans with no real thought to what I really wanted. You have changed
everything, my sweet
corami
.”

“I’m sorry,
Solron
, I don’t want to come between you and your family.”

“I have always gone along
with what everyone else wanted with no real thought as to my own desires. You
helped me realize I do not want to live a life commanded by others, destined to
be with a mate I do not want, to end up…” he swallowed, drawing in a breath.
“To end up like my father, cold and emotionless; you are my life, my warmth.”

“You are far from passionless
or emotionless. You care so much for others and you are the most wonderful
doctor in the whole galaxy.”

“I guess my father never
counted on me enjoying being a healer. I am glad to have those skills. He was displeased
when I contacted him to inform him that I took a human as my mate. I honestly
do not feel bad about it, as we were never close, and I have everything I want
right here.”

His arms tightened around
her.

“Still, he is your father.”

“Yes, if he truly cares for
me, then he will accept you also.”

Sara sighed, holding her man
close to her heart, as close as he was to her body.

“I make you no promises,
Sara, but I think we may be able to have younglings, though only if you wish
it.”

Her sad thoughts vanished and
a thrill of hope speared through her. “You really think it’s possible?”

“Now we are home and I have
the proper equipment to examine you plus all the medical data I could gather
from Earth. I will study it and see what we can do.”

“We?”

“Yes, many of the human women
have learned to read and write
Kelon
. If you are
willing, I will have you trained as my assistant. I know our females would
rather keep home for their mates, but I know humans are stronger of mind. Truth
be told, my star shine, I want you with me, always.”

“Yes, oh yes,
Solron
, I would love that—I was training to be a teacher
before
¼
before I was taken.”

Sad, painful memories washed
over her.

Solron
sensed her distress and wrapped his arms around her,
holding her close.

She pushed the thoughts to
the back of her mind.

“I will do everything in my power
to make you happy, so do not cry.”

“I’m crying because I’m
happy.” She hiccupped. “If you think it’s possible, I want to have your
babies.”

She loved the smile lighting
his handsome face.

“Enough talk. Kiss me, show
me your love. I need to feel you.”

“With
pleasure.”
Solron
captured her mouth with a scorching kiss.

“I grow tired of these
barriers between us.”

A thrill ran down her spine
when he gripped the shirt she was wearing as a dress and ripped it down the
middle, exposing her skin to the warm air.

She was already dripping wet
in anticipation of having him inside her. It felt like forever since they last
made love.

He settled his body over
hers. She automatically widened her legs and hooked them around his thighs,
relishing how hard his cock felt against her core. Wriggling a little, she
moved down on the soft sheets until the round head pressed against her clit.
“
Mmm
.”

“Do you even need me here?”
Solron’s
tone teased.

Sara grinned up at him. “Oh
yes, most definitely; I’ll let you do all the work tonight,” she teased back.

He nipped her lower lip in
retaliation.
“
Humm
, star shine,
with pleasure.”

She felt his right hand slip
between their bodies. His thick fingers slid through her wet heat, finding her
swollen nub. He rubbed it in firm circles, making her arch her hips seeking
more.

He lowered his head and
nuzzled the side of her neck, nipping at her skin before soothing away the
sting with his tongue. Sara turned to liquid fire in his arms. It never took
him long to make her writhe and beg for him to fill her.

Her arms looped around his
neck and she pulled his face up and pressed her mouth against his. She nipped
his lower lip, making him growl.

His fingers pulled from her
core, shifted hurriedly to shove down his pants, thus freeing his cock.

“Now, I claim you; now, I
make you mine.”

His breathless declaration
made her burn hotter. She wanted this, wanted him more than anything in her
whole life. Nothing ever felt so right.

“Yes, oh yes,
Sorlon
. I am yours, always.”

His cock connected with the
mouth of her sex, and he slid into her in one swift thrust. Her head fell back,
thrashing from side-to-side at the intense sensations coursing through her. Her
body was so ready, so
aroused,
it would only take a
few strokes to make her come.

“By the Holy Fires of
Elron
, I claim you, Sara.”

His proclamation rang in her
ears as he withdrew and plunged in again. She screamed his name, every nerve
ending exploding in raw pleasure.

On and on
he
fucked her, making her peak again until his thrusts became hurried, urgent, then
he threw back his head, roaring as he came inside her.

He slumped over her before
holding her close and rolling so he didn’t crush her under his weight.

“I am no warrior, but I will
do my best to protect you and make you happy, my sweet star shine.”

“Who says I need a warrior to
protect me? You are everything I want. I’m already happy knowing you’re mine as
much as I’m yours.”

He brushed back her hair, before
placing a tender kiss on her forehead.

“Yes, my
corami
,
we will face life and whatever it may bring together.”

She snuggled against her
husband’s chest, believing him with her whole heart and soul.

Days morphed into weeks. Sara
threw herself into learning all her husband had to teach her. They lived on the
top floor of the Healer Center in the heart of
Kelon
Prime. Three of the top floors were accommodations for the healer center staff.
She didn’t need to cook or clean; food was delivered and a cleaner came in
every second day to keep things neat.

When she couldn’t be with
Solron
, he left her at one of her new friends’ homes—Tara,
Alice or Rachel—who she met with
Sorlon
in the
section of the
Kelon
market set up for the human
women. They had clothes for their ‘human’ size, even foods which were
cultivated to help make life more comfortable for the few human women living on
Kelon
.

The longing, envious looks
she and other human women received from the men as they passed didn’t escape
Sara’s notice.

From what
Solron
told her, since the end of the war and many warriors returning home looking for
mates, there was still a severe shortage of females.

Peace talks between the once-warring
factions started. The news
datapad
told them
delegates were coming to
Kelon
for talks and
treaties.

Not every
Kelon
was happy with this news; they gathered outside the ruling council building,
yelling and shouting to make their protests about the talks known. When some
minor fighting broke out, it was quickly broken up.
Solron
was called in to help tend the injured.

Despite the political tension
in the cities, Sara couldn’t have been happier. Every day her love for
Solron
deepened and now, he was working on a way to get
them pregnant.

“So, do you really think I
can have our baby?” Sara gazed expectantly up at her husband.

He set aside the scanner then
picked up a
datapad
. Sara pushed herself up, swinging
her legs over the canoe-shaped
biobed
, her bare feet
dangling.

She watched
Solron’s
nimble fingers punch in the data before setting it
aside to smile lovingly at her.

“Star shine, I will not make
promises I cannot keep. The
layout of your reproductive
organs prevent
you from conceiving naturally and they are beyond my
repair. But with the fertility knowledge I took from your planet, combined with
our advancements, I may be able to fertilize one of your eggs, and then implant
it into your womb.”

“When?”
Sara knew the importance
Kelons
placed on having younglings, as they called their children. She knew
Solron
loved her, even if it didn’t work. Still, deep in
her heart, it was something she wanted to give him.

Solron
chuckled softly, leaning down to lightly kiss her
lips before helping her to sit up on a medical bed.

“Tomorrow afternoon, I will
retrieve an egg. I will also need to collect my seed and store it.”

The buzzing from the
comm
pulled
Solron
from her; he
walked over to the wall
comm
panel, jabbing it with
his fingers.

“Healer
Solron
,
your presence is required in the council chambers. A fight has broken out and a
few delegates were injured.”

Solron
heaved a sigh. “I am on my way.”

Sara slid from the bed and
grabbed her shoes, slipping them on,
then
silently
gathered all the equipment her husband would need to treat fight wounds.

“We have been treating more
internal fighting of late than I wish for.”

“I’m sure once the peace
talks are over, it will calm down,
then
we can focus
having on our baby. I have some ideas on how to help you retrieve your seed.”
She smiled seductively at him.

Sara recognized the darkening
of
Solron’s
eyes filling with want and desire for
her.

“Then we shall make haste and
return home to practice.”

Sara giggled, taking a step
back before he could grab her, holding up his Healers kit. “Yes, let’s make
haste.”
