Page 6 of His Human Rebel
Luckily, I wasn’t caught out working on the range but was still in the barn when the message flashed across my screen. I glanced around, thinking of the duties that needed to be accomplished today and decided that yes, now was a good time to go. The others could pick up my slack. I yelled out to Lorn, the ranch manager, that I was leaving, got in my vehicle and drove all the way into town.
For the entire drive I kept thinking about this female.
I enjoy her unusual name.
There was picture of her on the site. She’d looked almost angry, with her arms crossed and her blue eyes flashing a challenge. Entirely different from the other females of a variety of species who were offering themselves as mates. This is why she stood out to me.
Hyrrokin think humans are exotic and attractive, and their features are pleasing to us in general. It has already been established that our two species are mating compatible. But this female is more beautiful than any human I’ve ever seen. There were a few other human females offering themselves for sale on the mail order bride site, but they seemed frail and almost unhealthy. Stella is small but her frame looked powerful enough to withstand my Hyrrokin lust. Her golden follicles that fall from the top of her head are glorious. The flecks of brown spots on her cheeks and arms are adorable.
When I arrived, I turned onto the main street in town and saw her from a distance, calmly sitting on a bench. When I got closer and pulled up to the platform, I was astounded by her beauty.
I quickly learned that she carries a human offspring in her womb. This must be why she is looking for a mate. Humans are very odd in that they can have many different mates during their lifetimes. Amongst the Hyrrokin, if she were carrying my offspring, she’d immediately be my mate for life. The biological father of this offspring must be dead or gone and she needs someone else to raise her child. The legality of this will be odd, but I suspect if we go to the courthouse together and I declare the offspring mine - If I adopt it in utero before it is born, then we can still legally be bound.
Strangely, the fact that her scent trail combines with that of a human offspring doesn’t cause me to deny her. It is not off-putting. Instead, it enriches her scent. I still find her extremely sexually attractive.
And her own arousal for me is thick in the air.
I had no idea if I’d be attracted to the human I’d purchased and I am pleased to discover that in fact I quickly find her more fuckable than any female I’ve ever encountered. I am ready to take her to bed right away.
One day, I can fill her up with my own offspring and meanwhile we can raise her fully human child together on Tarvos.
Stella now sits beside me in my vehicle with a wide smile on her face.
I start down the street. Other Hyrrokin stare and whisper. I don’t bother to slow down and introduce her or tell the story of who she is and why I’ve brought her to Tarvos. They’ll find out soon enough. I’m not embarrassed that I purchased a female to be my mate, but I do hate being the source of gossip, but it can’t be helped. I am pleased that she is beside me.
“We will go to the courthouse soon enough and I will make you both mine,” I inform her as I drive through town, clarifying what I’d said earlier.
“Aren’t we already married?”
“That was for human legality and to clear the way through immigration so you could transport here. But you need to be legally bound to me on Tarvos in order to stay beyond one moon cycle, so we will walk to the courthouse together as soon as possible to make this legal.”
“Maybe I don’t want to stay past one moon cycle.”
I glance over at her. “Didn’t you sign up for this because you needed somewhere to live and raise your child?”
She shifts in her seat. “Not really. I’m a strange case. Like I tried to explain before, I’m here because I was kicked out of my community and they sent me here, as sort of penance for what I’d done.”
I turn a corner and head toward the outskirts of town. “Are you a criminal?”
“No,” she chuckles. “No, of course not. Although some might say that I’m a criminal, but I’m a person who fights for the rights of other beings to be treated equally, so I believe that makes me a hero and not a criminal.”
“Have you left a mate behind and are in hiding?”
“No, that’s not the problem either,” she laughs. “This pregnancy was the result of a one-night mistake. This wasn’t supposed to happen. The biological father is long gone and back to his military career somewhere out there in the four sectors.”
“He was a pleasure mate?”
“I wouldn’t even call it that. He was nice enough, but the pleasure wasn’t as great as you’d think. Don’t worry about that. I’ll never see him again. Not because he’s terrible and left me behind or anything; he was a nice man. But because we barely knew each other and he’s busy living his life.”
I let out another grunt. I will show her the meaning of true pleasure. “You feel this offspring you carry is a mistake?”
“Oh no, I shouldn’t have said it that way. Sorry. I meant a mistake at first. I did not set out to become pregnant. I wasn’t in the frame of mind for that, nor did I have a partner. I thought I was on birth control, but it didn’t work and this pregnancy was an accident. But I quickly decided it was a happy accident. Like I said, the biological father isn’t around and I don’t even know how to get a hold of him. I assume he wouldn’t be thrilled to find out about this; he seemed like the type who was going to spend his life in action and adventure in the stars and on various planets. He wasn’t the settle-down-and-build-a-family type. I can do this on my own though. I’m okay.”
“You are not doing this on your own. You are both mine,” I remind her.
“We’ll see. I have one month to decide.”
I grin, enjoying the challenge of her spirited personality. I can tell already she will not be boring. I find myself wanting to converse, which is unusual. “You are staying though for at least one month?”
