Honour by Viola Grace

sit up and pull the sheets over her. “Come in.”
    She chuckled at the surprised expressions of the folk delivering their meal, but when they were alone again, she made a beeline for the food.
    He grabbed her by the waist and twirled her around.
    She shrieked and kicked. She hadn’t felt tiny since she was a toddler. He kept her tucked under his arm and took a seat, settling her in his lap.
    He took it upon himself to feed her, so since her hands were free, she clasped his shaft and slowly worked the satiny skin up and down. Her meal was disrupted while he turned her to face him and slid into her slick heat.
    “Heh. I wondered how long you would last.” She rose on her knees and dropped onto him with precision.
    He narrowed his eyes at her. “I am beginning to see that you have an evil streak.”
    “It comes and goes.” Honour rode him slowly and nipped at his fingers with her extended canines when he dared to put a bite of food between her lips.
    Her release surprised her, and she gripped his shoulders, holding tight as her body shuddered. She bit his chest gently, leaving two small punctures.
    His bite was considerably more violent than hers had been but aftershocks woke in her body and her channel clasped his shaft as he shuddered against her.
    Their bodies were gleaming with sweat while they finished their meals, one feeding the other.
    Honour smiled internally, this was as close to a honeymoon as she was going to get.
     
    Four days later, they were preparing for her first trip to the space station. The clothing she was wearing delighted her.
    Head to toe, she was wrapped in a living suit that breathed as she did and provided her with an oxygen boost. Nayin had put her hair up in a sturdy coronet with tufts sticking out that resembled flower petals. It was quite pretty when it was combined with her blue and black suit.
    When Acuar finished getting into his suit, she put her hands on her hips and smiled at him. “Well, I am definitely prettier, but I enjoy looking at you in that tight suit more.”
    He grinned. “I am flattered, but you are far more suited to that suit than I had imagined.”
    “Excellent. Where do we go to get a ship?”
    He smiled, “Through the forest. Our shuttle pad is in the centre of the forest so that it is the first place we come to when we return home. Trust me, you will need to be there as quickly as you can be.”
    “How do you know all this? I thought you were only de-podded a few weeks before I was.” She snorted as they headed out through the glass doors that led into the forest.
    “I carry the knowledge of all the hosts that have gone before me. Therefore, I am smarter than you.” He smirked and patted her butt.
    He was very physically affectionate, always touching, kissing and distracting her anytime she tried to look up the brides who had gone before. She wanted to know if any of their descendants had made it through the population. He hadn’t let her at the records yet, and the forest was keeping her from focusing with its own educational regimen. Every moment that she had alone, the forest gave her horticultural information in brightly coloured panoramas. It was rather fun.
    Walking through the forest was like going to a family gathering, but one in which everyone around you was glad to see you.
    The path to the shuttle took them an hour, but it was an hour that made Honour’s soul sing. Trees that were older than the country she had been born in sang their greetings to her and told her of their love. It was a heady welcome.
    When they settled into the shuttle, their pilot was waiting. Honour was relieved that she didn’t have to fly. She could do it; she just didn’t like it.
    It seemed that Acuar didn’t like flying either. He held her hand and his fingers clenched the moment they lifted off.
    She decided to distract him. “Do you remember it all?”
    “Every moment we have been together.”
    She laughed. “Nice, but I meant which negotiations go with which
