Xiran’s POV

(NSFW Content ahead)

I clasped her in my embrace and rolled to the side while still buried inside her, crushing her to my heaving chest. She was so tight down there that I had to push myself although I tried to be as gentle as I could but knew I still hurt her a great deal.

"You are my brave girl," I flicked away the stray golden locks that were sticking to her head and face and she stared at me with a confused look.

"Xiran, I won’t get pregnant on the first try, will I? We should have used protection if something like that even exists here," she questioned while crossing her leg over mine, not leaving any space between our heated bodies. My heart sank at her question.

"Did Sayla brief you about anything related to our mating?" Uncle Sulran had informed me that Sayla will talk to her about the importance of mating on the sacred tree.

"No, was she supposed to?" Aselia asked, affectionately watching me with her life-sized eyes. Her hand played with the pendant she had given me. And I knew Sayla had forgotten to inform her and neither had I discussed this issue with her.

She had previously expressed her concerns about not wanting to have kids. And telling her now might flare her up and destroy her mood. I wanted us to spend this blissful week together.

"Let’s not worry about pregnancies for now, we have just embarked on this journey, only the two of us. Can we only have fun for a week and not think about the consequences?" I tried not to lie but I didn’t disclose the truth as well and it pained me.

"You are right but I don’t want to get pregnant or have kids for now. I want to spend some years alone, with you. At times travelling and other times just doing nothing at all. Just laying like this, with you buried deep inside me," stroking the contours of my face she smiled with pure affection dripping from her face.

And I could only hope that she wouldn’t fall pregnant with our first mating, vampires and elves had difficulty procreating. It was not very likely to happen and for her sake, I wished it didn’t.

"Leia! Everything will happen in its due time and these moments are purely ours. I know we should clean up but I wish to stay like this for a while," her bronzed skin was glistening with tiny beads of preparation like pearls decorating and I couldn’t help but needily stare. I wanted to gobble her more but she was tired now and needed rest.

"Let’s sleep like this and worry about everything else later," she suggested and snuggled even closer, her soft mounds kissing my hard ones, her opening clamping my manhood so tightly and her leg resting on mine, she buried her head in my neck and closed her eyes.

I slowly began to finger-comb her hair and softly sing a lullaby my mother used to sing for me, placing a tender kiss on my neck she murmured a ’thank you’ and drifted off.

I covered ourselves with a fluffy sheet and soon fatigue consumed me too. That night I dreamt of my mother, frolicking on the pearly lands of her planet, her face radiated with contentment.

"Xiran, my beautiful son. You chose well, take care of her," she hugged me and I basked in the embrace of her tender affection.

"I will, mother. Our lands are pure and beautiful. I am honoured to be here," I whispered back as she still held me with a beautiful smile.

"They are, I hope you will keep visiting them and many others in your adventures. Take care and I am proud of the man you have become. I wish Xifin had followed in your footsteps too," she held my face, there was a pain in her grey eyes and apprehension birthed inside me as I dreamt of the moment I took my brother’s life.

"Xiran! Xirannnn," Aselia’s frantic voice had me abruptly opening my eyes. She was hovering over me with deep concern lining her face, her forehead furrowed. Her hands were caging my face as she shook me.

"Leia?" I was a bit disoriented, sweat poured out from every pore on my body, and my heart was sprinting inside my chest.

"Did you have a nightmare?" She gently stroked my face and chest, trying to calm me down.

"No, I just saw my mother. She was happy at our reunion," I wanted to skip the part where I saw Xifin and the guilt that consumed me.

"What else did you see? That’s not all," she questioned and I avoided her gaze.

"Xiran! Look at me," I finally lifted my eyes and she was watching me with such tender fondness that I seemed lost in her turquoise ocean, it calmed my frantic heart.

"Did you have a nightmare about your brother? Was your mother angry for killing him? Because you were screaming his name," she gently asked, there was only concern.

"Yes and no. She was only sad that he turned out the way he did and I had to do what I did," I gave her my truth, the pain seared inside me, cutting me deep.

"I am so sorry, it’s all because of me that you had to take such a step. I know it affects you because no matter how he was, at the end of the day you were brothers. And you are allowed to grieve for him, I will never judge you for that," she climbed on top of me and laid down and I embraced her as if my life depended on it, burying my face in her luscious hair.

"I love you, Xiran. You have done things no one will do for me and nothing I can do will repay that. So let your feelings come to the surface, share them with me, and don’t hide," her lips trailed along my body, leaving soft kisses on my heated skin. Easing out all the fears I held that she would be disappointed if I would ever mention Xifin or his heir.

"Thank you, Leia for being so understanding, I love you," I instantly rolled her over and claimed her crimson lips that tasted like the finest of wines. She responded with as much zeal as she possessed and began grinding her hips so her core would rub against my sleeping shaft, instantly waking it up and it began to nudge against her.

I wanted another release but knew she would be so sour from her first mating.

"Claim me again," she breathlessly requested and I couldn’t help but be befuddled.

"Aren’t you already in pain my love? I don’t want to go overboard,"

"I need you inside me, Xiran. Don’t deny yourself or me this on the pretext that I am a little uncomfortable there. It will go away soon," my rod was begging to enter her by that time, straining painfully, egging for the release inside her warmth.

"Let’s take a bath together then, I will wash you as well," and she nodded, removing the sheet she climbed down and offered me her hand. Taking it I climbed out of bed and our gaze fell on the white sheets that had been tainted with her innocent blood.

I nudged her close to me and planted a small kiss on her temple, seeing the shy and emotional look that was clouding her eyes.

"Don’t worry, I will change them later and won’t let anyone see it," the thought of being her first and only one warmed my heart beyond words. She melted with my touch.

My hands landed on her hair and I began to unknot them, taking out all the paraphernalia that decorated them. Lastly, I unbraided her hair and removed the sacred ribbon, placing it carefully on the nearby table-like oval structure. Then I removed her body chain and placed it alongside, letting her keep her pendant for she never took it off.

The morning rays were gliding in through the window, illuminating our room as Aselia did the same with my hair and I finally carried her to the wash area, so we could further ease each other’s hearts.

The wooden pipe-like mechanism had been installed there when turned on by a lever sprayed down water in abundance. I stood Aselia underneath it and turned it on, the milky water sprouted out and began soaking her as it flowed down her curvaceous body and she opened her arms welcoming me:

"Come!"

With a fluttering heart, I joined her underneath the warm spray of pearly-coloured water. My hands grabbed her curvy waist and she giggled as I pushed her against the wall, our starved lips automatically found each other, and our bodies collided.

Her hand slithered down between us and found my shaft, she gently pressed it and I almost lost all control I possessed. I rolled her perky top between my fingers, eliciting a needy moan from her. The water trickled down our bodies and letting go of her mouth I traced her neck with my tongue and landed on her soft mounds.

My tongue teased the sensitive flesh and she threw back her head and revelled in the pleasure as I continued sucking and licking her. My other hand slipped to her womanly folds and she was already drenched down there, so ready for me.
