A Baby for the Alien General: Dohan Warriors Book 2 Read online

  “That sounds… violent.”

  “We are a violent species, my gini,” Thokar says. “That is the truth.”

  “Are you violent?” I ask.

  Thokar leans down and kisses the top of my head. “Only when you are threatened.”

  “Why?”

  “What do you mean?” He asks. I can hear the surprise in his voice.

  “Why do you care for me?” I ask. “Why are you so nice to me? You protect me, even risking your own life, but… I don’t see why.”

  “Then you must be blind, my gini,” Thokar says as he reaches down to cradle my cheek.

  “Is it just a baby you want?” I say, finally speaking the thing that’s been on mind for so long, but have been too afraid to ask. Now that we’re in a dark cell with no distractions, I really can’t dance around this topic any longer.

  “Kayi,” Thokar growls. “You having my child would make me the happiest Dohan in existence. Yes, I do desire that strongly, that is very true… but even if you didn’t want that, I would still protect you, and I would still cherish you.”

  I let out a small sigh of relief. I believe his words, for I can tell they’re coming from the heart.

  “The mating bond has taken a hold of me,” he explains. “I knew it when I first laid my eyes on you. I held back as long as I could because I didn’t want to frighten you. Are you afraid of me now, my gini?”

  “Now? …no,” I answer.

  Thokar did scare me at first. Who wouldn’t be terrified of a toweringly tall alien warrior, covered in tattoos, constantly staring at you with his radiant, colorful eyes? It’s a little unsettling.

  But what really frightened me the most were my own feelings.

  I was drawn to him as well. I denied it at first, but the more he looked at me, the stronger I felt it. There was something there. Deeper than mere lust.

  I don’t trust my own feelings — too often have they led me to the wrong type of guy.

  Thokar’s different, though. I sense it in every bone in my body. He wouldn’t ever hurt me. Not with words, and certainly not with his hands.

  I’ve gotten hurt so deeply that opening myself up to him is the scariest thing in existence. Scarier than being abducted by the Uttux. Scarier than facing that shadow-lion-bear predator in the library.

  But it’s a fear I’m going to have to face.

  Thokar tilts my chin up. His warm breath hits my face. The room is pitch black, but I can feel him looking at me. I close my eyes and bask in his attention. We are both silent for a moment.

  As silent as one can be with their heart hammering in their throat.

  “I must have you, my gini,” he growls, his voice thick with passion.

  It’s music to my ears. I stand on the tips of my toes, desperately wishing for him to just shut up and kiss me.

  “Okay,” I say.

  That’s all the answer Thokar needed.

  He kisses me hard, his alien tongue forcing its way into my mouth. He lifts me up at the same time, his strong hands digging into my soft skin as he holds me tightly. Somehow he unzips my jumpsuit, and his hands find their way on my bare-naked skin.

  I fiddle with his armor as well, but I don’t share his nimble touch. It’s too dark and there’s too many belts and zippers for me to elegantly undress the alien warrior.

  “Damn it,” I whisper, my open palms pressing against his chest. “Take it off.”

  “Do you need help, my gini?” Thokar chuckles.

  He carries me to the bed and lays me down on top of it. It’s rough and uncomfortable, but that doesn’t matter to me at all right now.

  Thokar grabs my hands and places them on his body. He shows me carefully how to undo the clasps on his armor, one by one, his fingers on mine as my hand touches the cool leather.

  “Just like that,” he encourages me as another tricky clasp springs open.

  When his chest piece finally drops to the floor and my hands touch his bare skin I suck in a breath. He’s so strong. I can sense his power, brimming underneath the surface, but at the same time he’s also soft to the touch, so pleasant and warm.

  My fingers explore his broad chest in the darkness. I can feel the lines of his many, intricate tattoos, the skin feeling ever so different there.

  “What does this one mean?” I ask.

  “That is the symbol of the Qrul clan,” he explains, his voice different. There’s a tinge of sadness there, laced with anger.

  “Oh,” I say. “Now might not be the time, but… what happened between you and your clan?”

  Thokar chuckles. “Do you really want to have this conversation now?”

  “You told me we’re in this cell for a while, so what’s the rush?”

  “I do not wish to delay breeding you a moment longer, my gini,” Thokar says.

  Instantly my heart is hammering in my throat again. Breed?! This is all going rather fast.

  “No, please, explain,” I say, trying to keep my voice from shaking. “I want to know.”

  Thokar lies down on the bed and pulls me on top of him.

  “I do not know where to begin, Kayi. You know what happened to my people, correct?”

  “I think so,” I say as I try to remember all that I’ve learned so far. There’s so many alien words and terms to keep track off. It’s hard enough just to remember the Dohan’s names, let alone their history. “I remember something called the Dusk Wars? I know that your women are no longer fertile.”

  “That is correct. We served the Uttux as their enforcers, until we lost our value to them. Instantly, our women lost their fertility, and our planet was thrown into chaos. Obviously, the Uttux are to blame. They are powerful gene-sorcerers who lack all empathy. I cannot believe our Elders ever served them to begin with,” he says, brimming with anger.

  I place my two hands on his chest, hoping to calm him down. I slowly massage his skin, my fingers brushing past his many scars. He’s so dangerous and wild, but at the same time, he’s the most open and honest man I’ve ever met.

  Not what I would have expected, based on what he looks like.

  “But what does that have to do with your father?” I ask.

  “My father,” he growls, “is the leader of my clan. The Elder. And in Dohan society, the Elders decide. The Elders got together and decided that the loss of our women’s child-baring abilities was… unfortunate. But not proof of Uttux wrongdoing.”

  His voice grows angrier with every word.

  “Their years of servitude to the Uttux has made them weak. Too weak to face the fact that our species is dying — on their watch. I told my father and all the Elders exactly what I thought of their cowardice. For my honesty, they banished me, and anyone else who dared to take up arms against the Uttux. Now you know.”

  His chest heaves up and down with every heavy breath. I gently rub my hands in circles, hoping that the small gesture will bring him some comfort. My thumbs brush against his pants. I resist the urge to unbutton them right this second — now is not the time for that.

  But in two seconds from now, who knows.

  “I never thought I’d see this place again,” Thokar says. “It brings back many memories. Bad memories.”

  “Shall we make some good ones instead?” I say, my hands drifting further down. I couldn’t resist.

  Thokar reaches up and grabs my neck. “I want nothing more, Kayi.”

  I don’t know quite how he does it, for the cell is pitch-dark, but he manages to flip me over and pin me down on the bed in less than a second.

  “I have put off breeding you for far too long.”

  I swallow the lump in my throat. It’s finally going too happen.

  “First, I must taste you.”

  “What?” I stammer. If he could see in the dark, he’d know my face is as red as my hair right now.

  “Your scent is delicious,” he snarls. “I want to taste your wet cunt.”

  He kisses me again, hard, nipping my lip before kissing his way down. The strong alien wor
ships my body as he trails his tongue down, first taking both my sensitive nipples into his mouth before he ends up grazing my inner thighs.

  I try to keep them shut, but Thokar’s strength is no match for me. He opens my legs and inhales deeply.

  “Perfect,” he says. “I love your scent.”

  “No man’s ever said that before,” I stammer.

  “Has any man ever done this?” Thokar growls a second before his tongue dives between my legs.

  “No,” I moan, my hand sinking into his dark hair.

  “Then you’ve never had a real man,” he answers between deep, long licks of my sex.

  He’s right on that account. I’ve allowed men between my legs before, but none can even hold a candle to Thokar. He’s might be an alien warrior but he’s better at sex than any human I’ve ever met.

  His expert tongue drives me wild. His hands hold me in place, exposing my body to his hungry mouth, and all I can do is lie there and shudder with pleasure as he makes me feel better than I even knew was possible.

  Thokar alternates long, slow licks with rapid flicks. It even feels like he’s got two tongues at times, because he’s seemingly everywhere.

  “I want you to come for me,” he growls. “I want to hear your moans as I prepare your cunt for my hard cock.”

  “Oh fuck,” I moan.

  When he says it like that, it feels so raw and animalistic. So passionate. So exactly what I want and need.

  “Yes, like that, my gini,” he says. “The more you come, the easier it will be for my Dohan cock to enter you and fill you with my seed!”

  Oh god.

  It’s really going to happen, isn’t it?

  Thokar is going to claim me.

  He’s going to fill me with his alien seed and put a baby in my belly.

  And I want him to.

  More than anything.

  I want to be his. I want to start a family with him. I want to help him re-build his society. I want to be the one to bring light into his darkness.

  Thokar adds in two fingers, and I come on the spot, my legs shaking like mad. I scream his name as my orgasm rocks my world.

  The alien warrior kicks off his pants and climbs on top of me. I reach out to touch his cock, and I’m not disappointed.

  In fact, I’m overwhelmed.

  His hardness is so big and wide, I can barely wrap my fingers around it all. And the veins and ridges?! It’s pulsing in my hand like a powerful weapon. A cock that’ll destroy my world.

  “Hold on,” I protest as Thokar tries to fold me in half. “First off I’m not that bendy, and second, I want to taste you first.”

  “I want to claim you now,” he growls. My alien lover presses his forehead against mine as I run my fingers down his length. “Every second I wait is one spent in agony.”

  “I just want to get to know your cock a bit better before you put a baby inside of me, if that’s okay,” I say.

  I can hear him smirking.

  “How could a Dohan say no to that?”

  Thokar slides onto his back, and I nestle myself between his legs. I run my fingers down his impressive thighs first as I hover above him, merely breathing on his cock.

  It twitches and practically slaps me in the face.

  “Watch it,” I laugh as I grab hold of his cock and squeeze.

  “Hey, you were the one who wanted to get to know my cock better,” Thokar chuckles. “I can tell you that he gets impatient when he doesn’t get what he wants.”

  “And what’s that right now, hm?”

  “Your hot mouth.”

  “I’ll see what I can do,” I smirk as I open my mouth wide and wrap my lips around his member. I tease him with the tip of my tongue, and the warrior moans approvingly.

  I close my eyes and just enjoy kissing and sucking him, feeling him twitch in my mouth, hearing his moans and grunts of approval. At first this was merely a ploy to hold off on him re-upholstering me for a minute longer, but now that I’ve actually gotten a mouthful of Thokar, I have to admit… I fucking love it.

  The warrior reaches out and grabs my shoulder.

  “Careful,” he says. “You are going to make me come, and my seed is for your cunt only.”

  Gulp.

  I guess now’s a good a time as any to get knocked up by an alien warrior.

  I sit up and climb on top of him. I loved the way he pinned me down, but if I ride him like this, I’m in control. With his size, I’ll need it. I hover mere inches away from his veiny cock as I reach down to grab him.

  An abrupt knock on the door causes my heart to launch into my throat.

  “Thokar! We’re under attack!”

  The lock turns and the door is yanked open. Gopax stands in the doorway, illuminated only from the back.

  I hide underneath the covers as Thokar launches himself up, his pants already on, his chest-piece hanging open.

  “Under attack?” Thokar says as he slams the clasps shut. “And you came for me?”

  “You’re still a formidable warrior — you and Lotak both,” Gopax sneers. “Elder Kraxal sent for you.”

  “What’s going on then?” Thokar presses. “Have the Thaana come for the human females?!”

  “There’s no time to explain! Every second counts. Let’s go!” Gopax insists.

  “I’m not going anywhere until you give me an explanation,” Thokar says.

  Gopax unsheathes his sword and hands it to Thokar. “Would I do that if it wasn’t serious?”

  My alien lover accepts the sword and looks at it in surprise.

  “Your clan needs you, Thokar. Will you answer the call?”

  “My clan has done nothing for me,” Thokar says angrily. He throws the sword down on the floor. “My place is with my mate!”

  “Lotak has already gone. Will you let your friend die alone, without you by his side?!” Gopax says.

  “What?!”

  Thokar rushes out the cell and checks the adjacent one. “He’s gone! Where have you taken him?”

  “He’s gone to defend clan Qrul as he should — but I see the Elder was wrong to think you would come to our aid. Go back to your human mate then, but if no one is left alive to free you from your cell, it will be your fault.”

  With that Gopax turns and leaves.

  “Curse the ancestors,” Thokar says. He rushes into our cell and kisses me deeply. “I must see what is happening. Don’t go anywhere, okay?”

  “Wait,” I say, but he’s already gone, the door falling shut behind him.

  I’m left in the dark.

  Alone.

  Thokar

  I race up the many stairs winding staircases, following the shadow of Gopax. To think I’d ever follow him into battle.

  Today has been a day of many firsts.

  I was one second away of claiming my mate. One second from reaching bliss, from achieving what I was born to do. I’m only fighting for her. Not for Clan Qrul. And certainly not for my father. But any attack threatens my mate, and that is unacceptable.

  To my surprise, we’re heading deeper into the pyramids, rather than to its barriers. It would be more logical for an attack to come from the outside.

  Then again, the Thaana do have the ability to teleport. If those pointy-eared, silver bastards are attacking us, it makes sense.

  “Gopax!” I call

  “Follow!” He answers as he picks up the pace.

  I turn the corner and what I see there makes me freeze dead in my tracks.

  Lotak is kneeling on the ground. His hands are squeezing his head, a look of pure pain etched onto his face.

  Behind him stands an Uttux, flanked by several scaled Crokkal warriors wielding massive spiked clubs.

  The Uttux has two of his four hands pointed at Lotak, the crown on its grey head blinking rapidly. I’m well acquainted with the Uttux’s mind-destroying powers, and I can only imagine what type of pain my friend is in.

  “Uttux,” I growl. I reach for the sword Gopax gave me, only to
discover I left at the floor of my cell where I cast it away.

  “Ah, another specimen,” the Uttux sneers. “Yes, you will do nicely. You will serve the Project well.”

  I turn to Gopax to urge him to give me another weapon. The warrior has his arms crossed and a smirk on his face as he leans against the wall.

  “You are too easy to fool, Thokar. You’ve always been blind to the truth.”

  “What?!” I growl as the unfamiliar sensation of fear trickles down my spine. “You are in league with the Uttux?!”

  Gopax shrugs. “You should ask your father that.”

  No. That can’t be.

  He’s a stubborn fool, but he can’t be in league with our worst enemies. And yet, how could the Uttux enter this room, which I now recognize as the Seat of the Elders, the most scared place in the Qrul Pyramids, without outside help?

  “It’s a shame I cannot see you die, Thokar,” Gopax says. “I would have liked to see the light leave you, but the Uttux have other plans. So it shall be. I will help myself to your humans in the meanwhile. I’ve always wanted a harem.”

  “You absolute bastard,” I growl. I’m already running towards him, my fists raised. I can see the surprise in his eyes, the color shifting to white as fear fills him.

  Yeah, you better be afraid, you fucking asshole. I’m going to destroy you for even thinking about my mate. I’m going to rip out your two hearts and make you choke on them.

  Just as my fist begins to connect with his face, the world turns as white as snow and all sounds disappear.

  When I realize what’s happening I’m already on the floor, my body convulsing in pain. Gopax walks off, his footsteps echoing in the distance, a million miles away.

  No. This cannot be.

  I must fight the Uttux.

  For Kayi.

  The Uttux have the ability to warp minds. They can inflict tremendous, debilitating pain on a whim. It’s not known if they were born with this power, or if they genetically engineered themselves with it, but the results are the same.

  To fight the wretched Uttux you must take them by surprise. If they’re expecting you, you already lost.

  And I’m dangerously close to losing.

  Every molecule of my being is screaming out in pain. My breathing has stopped, my heart rate slowing down to a crawl as well. My body begs for me to give in. The moment I give in, if I just stop resisting, the pain will cease.
