Kayden watched Elara’s body language stiffen slightly as he got up, following her out of the hidden room and back into the main vault. She glanced around almost nervously before tucking a stray hair behind one ear. Her eyes settled on the far corner of the room and she took a deep breath before glancing back at Kayden.

“Come on. It’s just over here.”

Curiosity piqued, Kayden followed Elara until they were standing in front of an “O-shaped” sculpture that was made of the same purplish metal the Kel seemed to be so fond of. Unlike the other sculptures it had no glass casing, and as he looked closer he saw the metal’s natural sheen had been worn down by centuries of handprints, turning it into more of a gold color. His eyes travelled along the edge of the ring before settling on the metal rod that held it up at waist-height, allowing Elara to move around the structure and lean through the ring to look at him.

“How come you’re allowed to touch this one?” Kayden asked, seeing her hands settle on the bottom of the ring comfortably.

“Normally, I’m not. This sculpture is part of an ancient Kel tradition – one that used to be followed by all Kel.”

“Ah, so you got special permission before we came down here?” Kayden asked.

“No. I just decided I don’t give a damn.” She said with a coy smile. “Maybe you’re rubbing off on me.”

Kayden chuckled, shaking his head. “Are you complaining?”

“Not at all.” She replied before taking a deep breath to steady herself.

“You okay?” Kayden asked, suddenly concerned. “You seem nervous.”

“I’m…fine.” She replied, taking another deep breath. “Can I tell you a bit more about the tradition?”

“I’d like that.”

“It’s used as part of an important ceremony – so important in fact, that you can find a replica of this ring in most Kel cities, usually in a public square or a governmental building.”

“What’s the ceremony for?”

“It’s…well… the ring is supposed to symbolize infinite love.” She blurted out before continuing quickly. “One person stands on one side of the ring, and the other person stands on the other. They usually say some kind words to each other in front of all their friends and family. By doing this, their union is said to be blessed by the goddess.”

“Humans have a similar tradition.” Kayden said. “We wear the rings on our fingers and some of the details are different, but it’s the same idea.”

Her rapid-fire speech somehow picked up speed. “Yes. AJ told me about marriage. The sociological implications of similar ceremonies developing across different cultures are fascinating, and-”

“Will you do the ceremony with me?” Kayden asked, seeing where this conversation was going.

“-and…and… you’re serious?” She said, stuttering slightly.

“Of course I’m serious.” Kaden said, moving closer and placing his hands on top of hers. “I can see that this is something that’s important to you. I know how you feel about me, and you know how I feel about you. We might not have another chance like this for a long time, and you clearly want this too, so why wait?”

She bit her lip and blushed purple for a long moment before locking eyes with him. “Yes. I want this. Us. To do the ceremony.”

“Let me ask the right way then.” Kayden said, holding her gaze. “Elara will you do the ceremony with me and become my… Kel-wife?” He finished lamely, struggling for the right words.

She giggled and nodded. “Yes Kayden. I will be your Kel-wife.” She then leaned close to him and brushed her blue lips against his ear. “And then afterwards I want to bond with you. I’m ready.”

He felt a wave of complex emotions wash over him at her words. As much as they both knew they had deep romantic feelings for one another, they’d waited to become physically intimate because doing so would make the Xenocompatibility attunement process permanent. She’d never be able to conceive with anyone else, and she would be forever fixed in her human-like form.

“Are you sure?” Kayden replied, pulling away slightly so he could look at her in the eyes. “I feel close to you Elara, but this…it’s a lifetime commitment, enforced by biology.”

“I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.” She said steadily. “Even if there weren’t a war going on and I wasn’t worried about all of us dying tomorrow… I’d want this. I’m ready.”

“You’d have to share me with the other girls.” Kayden cautioned her, unconsciously moving closer.

“I know. I’m okay with that. They’ve already accepted me.”

“And the lifetime commitment would have to go both ways.” Kayden said finally. “I couldn’t live with myself knowing that you’re committed to me without giving the same commitment to you. I can’t change my biology like you can, but I can give you my word that I’ll be there for you no matter what.”

The blue skin on her face blushed even more furiously before smiling. “Those sorts of comments are how I know I’m making the right choice.”

Kayden moved closer again, until his nose was brushing against hers. “Tell me how the ceremony works.”

Unable to stop smiling and blushing, she nodded downwards. “You’re already doing the first part by placing your hands on mine. Then we say some nice things to each other – usually in front of friends and family.”

“Ali, can you record this?” Kayden asked out loud. “We can show it to them later.”

[“Of course, Kayden.”] Ali replied mentally.

“Good thought.” Elara said after seeing him nod, her smile broadening. “Do you want to go first? Or shall I?”

“You go first.” Kayden insisted.

She set her shoulders and locked her gaze with him for a moment before speaking again. “Kayden Reynolds. To me, you started as the fabled Asha’dara. Somehow though, you became more than that to me. You became my defender, my advocate, my biggest supporter, and my mate. You are as brave as you are kind, as wise as you are determined. Despite the fact that we’ve only known each other a relatively short time, I can’t imagine my life without you in it anymore.” The smile returned to her face slowly. “You have no idea how many times I practiced that in the mirror.”

They both cackled for a moment before Kayden looked at her lovingly. “Elara, I… I don’t know how to follow that up, but I’ll do my best.”

“Just speak from your heart.” She said, laying one hand on his chest.

“Elara, you inspire me everyday. Your dedication to the Kel cause is only surpassed by your dedication to the people you care about – and I’m lucky enough to count myself as one of those people. You’re somehow both a warrior and an empath – tenacious on the battlefield, and completely in-tune with other people’s feelings. I’ve wanted you since the moment I saw you, and even now you make my heart race.”

Unable to hold back any longer, their lips crashed together in a passionate kiss. Kayden’s hands slid up her arms before running down her body, coming to a rest on her hips through the ring. Elara’s arms rested on his, her hands clasping behind his neck to pull him closer. Their tongues met as the world around them seemed to fade away, leaving nothing but their shared embrace behind.

When they finally broke apart, Kayden’s blue eyes met Elara’s. Knowing how he truly felt, he said what was really on his mind.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.” She replied without a hint of hesitation.

They kissed again urgently for several long minutes as their hands roamed over one another’s bodies. By the time they broke apart they were panting with a heady mixture of love, lust, and excitement. Kayden flashed a grin at her before speaking again.

“So…what’s the next part of the ceremony then?”

She laughed, her eyes sparkling as he did. “Well, we’re supposed to say something about the goddess blessing this union, then I come around and… you know what? Forget that.” She stopped suddenly, unclasping her arms and moving around the ring to be closer to him. “I’ve waited long enough. Ali, stop recording – this part is private.”

[“Recording stopped.”]

Without waiting for him to relay the message, Elara practically leapt into Kayden’s waiting arms. Her hands fumbled with the buttons of his shirt as she practically tore it off, desperate to touch any bare skin she could. He returned the favor by finding the small zipper near the nape of her neck, pulling it down to loosen her tight grey military jacket. The moment it hit the bottom she broke the kiss long enough to shrug it off and toss it to the floor, revealing miles of light blue skin underneath.

Kayden took a moment to marvel in her beauty. He’d caught glimpses of her cleavage before, but to see her breasts bared like this was something else entirely. They were large enough that each of them would be a handful, but gravity-defyingly pert with a dark purple nipple on each. He reverently traced his fingers across them for a moment, causing her to arch her back and groan softly.

“Go ahead. They’re all yours.” She whispered.

“How…?” He said, unsure how to form full sentences anymore.

“Xenocompatibility, remember?” She said. “My body has changed to be as sexually desirable and compatible with you as possible.”

Unable to resist any longer, Kayden wrapped his lips around one of her nipples and began to flick back and forth with his tongue. At the same time he used his prosthetic hand to gently tweak her other nipple, cupping her soft blue skin as he did. Her groan became louder and more guttural at his touch, and she instinctively reached out to hold him closely.

“Yes.” She hissed. “That’s…exactly it.”

As he swapped his lips between her nipples his other hand drifted south to the simple button-and-zipper combination holding her pants up. He solved both problems quickly, slipping his prosthetic hand into her pants and running the cool metal against her opening teasingly. She shivered with delight at his touch, her nails scratching down his now-bare back as she did.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Reluctantly, he kissed up her breast to her collarbone, then her neck, and finally locked eyes with her. “Are you sure about this? Because once we get started…I don’t know if I can hold myself back.”

“Kayden, my Asha’dara, my…husband.” She said, breathing heavily as the last word left her lips. “Make love to me. Please.”

With that reassurance, Kayden’s lips crashed into hers again. As they kissed he began to work his fingers in slow circles around her clit, gently rubbing and teasing underneath the black thong she was wearing. She inhaled sharply at the motion, her lips parting to allow their tongues to meet again. She let out soft moans of pleasure into their shared embrace, encouraging him to continue.

After several minutes the tease became too much to bear for either of them. They reluctantly broke apart before quickly stripping off the rest of their clothes, leaving them both standing naked. As Kayden looked up from dropping his pants he took a moment to drink in the sight of his Kel woman in all her naked glory – from the way that her skin seemed to take on an otherworldly blue glow in the light of the vault to the way that the fat on her mostly-toned body seemed to be perfectly distributed as if to highlight her hourglass figure.

“Fuck Elara.” Kayden managed to croak out.

“Do you… like the way I look?” She said, casting her own appreciative eye over his body.

“‘Like’ is definitely not a strong enough word to describe it.” He replied.

“I can see that.” She said through a giggle, looking down at his erection, already at full-mast. “I’m a little nervous about fitting all that inside me though. Remember: it’s my first time.”

“Bend over.” Kayden said, nodding towards the ring-like sculpture they used for their abbreviated ceremony. “We’ll start slow.”

Eyes widening slightly Elara placed both hands on the oval, presenting her perfect heart-shaped ass to him. He grinned to himself as he knelt behind her, running his prosthetic hand up her thigh and causing her to spread her legs. She was already soaking wet and when he brushed them against her clit again she gasped, gripping onto the metal tightly.

“If I… believed in the literal words of the scripture…” She started between breaths. “This might be considered blasphemy.”

“Do you?” Kayden asked, stopping for a moment but not moving his hand away.

“I think the goddess will forgive me for this one.” She said, glancing back at him.

“Good.” Kayden responded before running his tongue against her pussy.

The move was enough to take Elara’s breath away. Kayden turned his head upwards and scooted his body between her toned blue legs, replacing his prosthetic fingers with his tongue. He began to tease her with it, tracing lazy shapes across her clit while running his hands up to her firm ass and giving it a squeeze. When she shivered with delight he brought his prosthetic fingers back to her pussy and slowly slipped one inside, pumping in and out as he did.

“Oh goddess… Kayden… that’s so good.” She groaned out haltingly. “I never knew it could feel… like this.”

Her pussy gradually opened up to him, allowing him to slip another finger inside. His tongue continued its relentless assault as he pumped deeper, eventually burying them inside her up to the knuckle. When her juices started to drip down his chin he knew she was ready for more, and reluctantly detached his lips from her lower ones.

“Want to try something else?” He said, looking up at her from between her legs.

“Everything. I want to try everything with you.” She replied huskily.

Hoping that Kel-Xenocompatible physiology was similar to human physiology, he wrapped his lips around her clit and sucked it into his mouth while he moved his fingers in a ‘come-hither’ motion. He knew that the move was one that delighted all his other women, and felt a small tinge of relief when he saw Elara was no different. Almost immediately her legs began to shake as she gripped the ring tighter for support.

“I’m… I’m…” She croaked out, unable to finish the sentence.

Feeling her soft velvet walls clench on his fingers he began to vibrate them gently, sending her into to the stratosphere. Her legs gripped his head like a vice as she came undone, her cries of pleasure echoing through the cavernous vault. On instinct, her hips began to rock back and forth against his face, prolonging her orgasm even further.

When she couldn’t take another moment of the exhilarating feelings she fell backwards, crashing into Kayden’s lap. Her normally piercing blue eyes were hazy and unfocused from the mixed waves of euphoria and exhaustion crashing over her. Every formerly tense muscle in her body relaxed as she leaned into him, her naked body pressed tightly against his.

After breathing heavily for several long moments she leaned up enough to offer Kayden a lazy smile. “That was…incredible.”

“I’m glad you liked it.”

“The other girls are going to have to make some room in that bed of yours, because I’m going to want that all the time.”

He grinned in reply. “It doesn’t need to be nighttime and we don’t need a bed to have sex.”

“True.” She sighed. “But a bed sounds nice right about now.”

With a coquettish smile, Elara scooted forward before wrapping her legs around his waist. Her arms went around his back and she kissed him deeply, rubbing her wet pussy against his diamond-hard cock. They kissed like that for several minutes, her juices covering and lubing him up as she worked her hips back and forth. As she did Kayden’s hands wandered over her body – from her nipples across to her back, then finally resting on her ass so he could squeeze it firmly.

Detaching her lips for a moment, Elara pulled back to look at Kayden intensely. Without so much as a word she reached down and took hold of his cock in one hand, lining it up with her opening and teasing his head against her. Achingly slowly as if to savor the moment of her final transformation she moved her hips downwards, pushing the head of his cock inside her. There was a soft resistance which quickly broke, giving way to his cock.

“It’s… so big.” She gasped out as he entered her.

“Am I hurting you?” Kayden asked, fully aware that this was her first time.

“No, just… let me control the pace.” She replied. “I can only take a bit at a time.”

Kissing her deeply, Kayden squeezed her ass and let her hips work their magic. His patience was continually rewarded over the next several minutes as she worked his cock deeper and deeper into her, enveloping his shaft in a hot, wet, velvet vice. Despite it being her first time she had incredible muscle control, with each stroke gripping his cock tightly and sending fireworks of pleasure through his mind. She seemed to mold around him, as if adapting to his size and girth so that she would fit perfectly.

By the time her hips met his, both of them were groaning uncontrollably in pleasure. She began to ride him in earnest, her pussy milking his cock while her hips swayed back and forth on his lap. He began to grip and squeeze her ass as he kissed every inch of blue skin he could get his lips on, unable to get enough of the feeling of her body next to his. For their first time together it far surpassed any preconceived notions he had, her body’s natural connection with him rivalling that which he’d built over time with any of his other women.

Before long the familiar pressure of an orgasm began to build up inside him. His eyes shot open and he pulled back from their kiss long enough to grunt out a warning.

“Elara…I’m…close.”

“In me.” She said without a hint of hesitation. “Finish it. Cum in me.”

There was something about his woman asking him to cum in her that set off all sorts of primordial feelings inside Kayden – ones that insisted that he spread his seed as much as possible. All thoughts of trying to remain a gentleman through her first time faded to the background as his hands moved to her hips and he began to meet her every thrust, his cock swelling as he neared his climax. If he had any semblance of awareness left he’d have realized that her pussy was spasming around him, signalling that she was only seconds behind.

“Cum for me!” She shouted, bouncing up and down on him.

The sight of her delicious tits waving in front of his face while her pussy gripped his cock was too much to bear. Kayden roared as his cock shot cum into her like a cannon, filling her pussy completely with hot white seed. His eyes rolled to the back of his head in pleasure and his hands gripped her ass. Every muscle in his legs, back, and arms seemed to tense before giving out from the pleasure, causing his back to fall to the floor from the overwhelming sensations.

Seeing her man cum was enough to trigger Elara’s orgasm right afterwards. She continued to ride him through it, her legs shaking and toes curling as she slammed her hips down onto his repeatedly. Her movements prolonged their pleasure almost to the point of oversensitivity before she slumped forward onto his chest, breathing heavily against him as she did.

For a few minutes, the only sound in the room was the sound of their heavy breathing. As their senses returned to them though, Kayden heard Ali’s voice in his mind.

[“It’s a good thing I am here to regulate your genetically enhanced strength.”] She started. [“I believe Elara would have been injured given how hard you were trying to grip her. Even with my safeguards in place she will likely have some surface bruising.”]

Kayden snorted out a laugh, to the confusion of Elara. When he repeated her words she laughed as well.

“I’m already yours – mind, body, and soul. You don’t need to physically mark me, you know.” She said teasingly.

The enormity of her statement washed over him, and he kissed her deeply in reply. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” She said, eyes shining. “I’m yours, Kayden Reynolds. Forever.”
