Elina

It's just as Lazarus said, I'm sexually aroused all the time. Nothing we do makes the feeling go away. After sex there is about an hour that my body rests before the feeling is back and Lazarus is the same. Every morning I wake up to him thrusting into me and for some strange reason I don't mind. But all of this has to come to an end today.

In 20 minutes Lazarus has his first shift on the bridge since I came here. I have been here for a week, well actually two but the first I was sedated so that one doesn't count. At the moment it feels like I wasted the first two days when I refused him.

"You can wander around the ship freely. Do you remember where the game room is? If you get lost you can contact me on the com. Remember that Skillys and Nim want to see you later. There is a map on the com if you need to find your way. You can speak to it and it will understand you."

"Lazarus! Breath before you pass out." I cut off his ranting. "You have told me this already and shown me how to use the com three times. I will be alright. I'm a big girl." He's like a mother hen making sure I will be fine without him here. I can't say I look forward to being alone but I know I'll be fine.

He sighs and drags his hand through his hair. "I just don't like to leave you alone. Kurn, Makkan, Sulu and Reli are all on my squad so none of them are free either." He puts his arms around me and looks into my eyes. "There is no one that you know to keep you company."

I reach my arms up around his neck. He lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist so that I can kiss him. These days we have been together, mostly locked up in our room, has given us time to establish some customs between us. I am way too short to kiss him when we stand so when I reach up around his neck he always lifts me up. He always cleans me off in the shower and I do the same with him. There is still a lot to work on but at least it feels like we're starting to build a relationship.

"I'm sure there are a lot of other nice males out there willing to take care of a lonely female." I say in a teasing voice and give him a peck on the lips. He growls and presses me harder against him and gives my butt a hard slap.

"Perhaps I need to teach this lonely female where she belongs before I release her to a ship full of lonely males." I giggle and kiss him again.

"As much fun as that sounds, you have only ten minutes until you are to be on the bridge. There is no way that you will be able to finish in that short amount of time."

Lazarus groans in frustration. "Remind me again why I have to go." He wines and I laugh.

"Because you're the Captain and the next in line for the royal throne. You have to set a good example for all your citizens." I say in a sweet voice and kiss him again. He tangles his hand in my hair and deepens the kiss. Eventually we break and I peer at the clock behind him. "Two minutes." He growls but sets me down. He leans down for another quick kiss and then he's out the door without looking back.

Okay. So all alone. What to do? Lazarus has taught me how the TV works. It's like a TV with a built-in computer. There is a program in it to translate the text so that I can read it or a voice reads it out loud and the translator in my ear translates the speech.

Unfortunately earth doesn't transmit their information out to space so I can't reach any information about my homeplanet. I can however read up on Galdrians and The Intergalactic Committee so I can learn about my new life. I sit on the couch and stare at the TV without making an effort to turn it on. I know I told Lazarus that I can take care of myself and all that, but it's boring to ba alone and I feel insecure about what I can and can't do.

I thought we would have time to explore the ship so that Lazarus could introduce me to some nice people and show all the other things to do, besides the game rooms and dining hall. Instead we spent the time locked up in our room doing other stuff. The thought of the other stuff we have been doing makes me blush and smile to myself. Those other stuff were entertaining as well but for those I need him here.

I decide to turn on the TV and study the Galdrians to pass some time and then I can go down to meet with Nim and Skillys.

After about two hours of reading and listening to information about the Galdrian society and the royal family I need to change my scenery. It was fun finding some pictures of Lazarus and his family from when he was young. His mother was beautiful with the same shade of blue on her skin as Lazarus. His father, brother and sister have a much paler skin tone. Lazarus looks alot like his father in the picture, both just as handsome.

I make a quick stop in the bathroom doing my stuff and checking the mirror that I look presentable. Then I make my way down to the examination room. I know the way there by heart now since we've been there once a day since I came here. In the elevator I check my com that I have placed around my wrist. It looks like a beautiful bracelet in yellow, rose and white gold braided together. There is a small screen at the uppside that I activate to turn the com on. There is a message from Lazarus.

'I came five minutes late and was laughed at by my whole platoon. I miss you already.'

"Write a message to Lazarus." I say to the com and the message service appears. "Haha. I told you that you would be late. I'm on my way to Nim and Skillys now. Send."

Deactivating the com, I step out of the elevator and walk to the examination room. Skillys is in there as I enter.

"Hi Skillys." I greet him with a smile. I have grown accustomed to his rodent appearance by now.

"Good day Elina." He replies. Thank god I have finally gotten him to drop the human before my name. He told me they say that to show respect but when I told him it made me feel uncomfortable he dropped it. "Are thee feeling fine today?"

"Yes. A little lonely and unsure of what to do since Lazarus is working." I sit down in the chair that is placed by the inner wall and wait for Skillys to come and take my blood samples. "But I'll just have to get used to that I guess."

"Me is sure that Elina will find things to do." He smiles at me as he comes over. "Today me will take all the samples to check thees values and thees hormones. Yesterday's sample indicated that one of the hormones was a little bit high and a antioxidant was a little bit low. With some research Nim found that can be due to stress on thees body." He looks a bit concerned that my values are not perfect but I'm not all that worried.

"Isn't it a little too much to run these tests every day?" I ask him as he prepares me for the needle.

"It might seem like that for thee but since us do not know how all this affects the human body it is vital that us keep a close eye on thee. Us wants to make sure that thee does not fall ill from anything."

The door opens as he starts to collect the samples from me and Nim walks in. "Hi Nim." I greet her with a smile. I have found a liking for Nim. She is gentle, honest and she likes to joke around. She's a little apprehensive when Lazarus is in the room, but once we kick him out she jokes and giggles with me.

"Hello Elina. Thee look great today." She greets me. I can see Skillys tense up at her casual way of greeting me.

"So do you. Your hair is beautiful. Did you sleep with braids?" I comment on her soft waves that fall all the way down to her buttocks.

"Yes me did. Me wanted to try out what thee told me yesterday. Me has always worn me hair in a bun." She turns around in a circle when I motion her to do that so I can see the back.

"It looks really good on you. And your hair looks really soft." I smile and rub my arm since Skillys is done with the samples. He walks over to the machines that analyze the result.

In the meantime Nim comes over and jumps up at the chair next to mine. She has a questionnaire on her tablet. "Have everything been good with thee?" She starts to ask the questions that she asks me every day. And every day I answer the same. Except today I feel a little down because Lazarus is busy.

When she's finished with the interrogation Skillys comes over with the results of the samples for today. "The hormone level is still a little off. That could be from stress. Is there something that has happened these last few days?" He looks up from his tablet with a concerned look in his eyes.

"I am missing home and my work and friends there. And then Lazarus had to go back to work and I am left all alone. I feel lonely and insecure. That must be what heightens my stress right?" I try to give him a smile of reassurance but it mostly comes out like a grimace.

"Yes that can be right. Me want thee to take it easy and make sure thee get enough rest as well. Me knows that thee has not rested enough these last few days." I blush at this. I know that they know what me and Lazarus have been doing and how much since I informed Nim about that. But it's still embarrassing when they talk about it so clinically.

"I'll make sure to rest." I murmur with blazing cheeks. Nim giggles at me and I throw a glare her way which only makes her laugh harder. I feel a smile creep up on my lips.

"The other samples are looking good. It seems that thees period of fertility is over but thees hormones are still high. That can mean that the breeding has been successful and thee is already impregnated." At this he gives me a large smile "That is the next reason that me want thee to rest."

"So I might be pregnant?" I look at him in complete shock.

"It can mean that, yes." He answers. "Do thee want to inform the Captain about this?"

I shake my head. "No. There is still a possibility that it's not really the case. In another week or two I should get my period and if that doesn't happen then we can tell him. Humans get pregnant pretty easy and most pregnancies end before we even know that they're there. If that is the case I don't want to give Lazarus hope and then squash it next week."

Skillys nod. "Galdrian females very rarely have misscarrige, but they have a harder time to get pregnant. They only get pregnant if the male bites them during the mating."

"Well. I have been bitten quite a lot." I give an embarresed laugh and rub my neck where Lazarus bites me almost every time we have sex. Luckily it's only the canine teeth that break the skin. He does his best to avoid it sometimes, since that probably won't be needed for me to get pregnant. I ovulate anyway. But I think it gives him pleasure to see the fresh bite mark on my neck.

"Are there anything else that thee wonder about?" Skillys asks.

"Ehm. Well. There is one thing." I don't know how to express this strange feeling that I have.

"Yes?" Skillys says in an encouraging tone.

"Well. Since the mating there I have felt some changes, to my body that is. Or my senses or whatever." I fall silent and bite my lip, thinking of how to phrase me. "It's like I feel so much more. The smell is stronger, especially Lazarus' smell. And his touch and all that. Like I can sense him. When he is close, when he is angry, frustrated and happy... And, uhm, aroused. It is hard to explain."

Skillys have a large smile on his lips as he answers me. "Me understand what thee is trying to explain. Us did not think any changes would occur, but is seems thee is becoming more like a Galdrian. They have much stronger senses than humans. Me thinks it would be the hormones from the bites that are the cause of these changes. Thee might find that thee can sense something wrong with the smell of other males because they are not thee's mate. This is only good for both thee and the Captain. Brings thee closer."

I'm not sure if I should feel happy about this, but there is absolutely some happiness. It is true that I feel so much closer to Lazarus and the changes feel natural somehow.

We finish up with the examination and I'm sent on my way. And now what to do? I guess I can go to the dining hall and grab something to eat. I'm a little worried about getting food since I can't read the text on the panel, but I also know that there is a translator in my com that will help translate. Or there might be some kind soul that wants to help me. I have a smile on my face as I enter the dining hall.
