To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
Aki placed himself directly in the path of the three approaching
warriors. Even if he didn t look much like a warrior, he was going to force
these men to acknowledge his existence. He wasn t going to join the list of
ethnologists who d failed to get even a single interview from the men.  I
am Aki. I am from New Earth.
The first warrior didn t bother to walk around him. He simply
shouldered Aki out of the way as he passed. Aki stumbled and found his
footing, but now stood directly in line with the second warrior.  I am
Aki. The second warrior used his elbow to send him falling to the red
dirt of New Rangipo.
 Aki, you must come sit with me.
Aki glanced to where the old woman sat, leaning against her hide
tent, then back to the approaching third warrior. This one stopped to look
down at him sprawled on the ground. Aki met the gaze of those blue eyes.
 I am Aki. Will you tell me your name? He was sure he had the right
verb and correct conjugation.
The warrior looked away and strode a few meters to where the
others stood, apparently studying the empty red desert. Aki pushed to his
feet, wondering what they d do if he went after them. From the reaction
he d just received, he d probably set back relations with the tribe another
decade. He brushed the red dirt from his pants. He hadn t been attacked,
just pushed out of the way.
 Aki, you will come sit by me, the old woman snapped.
With a shrug, he strode over to her tent, which sat a few meters
apart from the rest of the nomadic camp and closest to the research
4
To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
settlement. The science team would move when the camp moved, and Aki
had no doubt Grandmother s tent would again end up between them and
the rest of the tribe.
She patted the ground beside her stool, indicating he should sit
there. He did, folding his legs to sit cross legged just within the shade of
the tent.  They are warriors. She spoke slowly, as if to a child. ºYou are
not a warrior. They may not talk to you.
He nodded.  Yes, Grandmother, he said using the respect word for
the tribe s older women.  But I don t understand why they may not speak
with me.
 Because they are warriors.
He sighed. No one had ever managed to wring a better answer than
that out of the tribes since few of the women bothered to speak with the
researchers. The old woman was an exception. Perhaps age put her above
social considerations.
 Do not try to force them, Aki. You are not a warrior.
He huffed. ºWell, I know that.º He wasn t even worth fighting. Not
that he d have stood a chance of winning or of proving himself a warrior if
they had fought him. The warriors he d confronted stood over six feet tall
with skin burned brown from the harsh sun of this world.
Aki was a head shorter than any of them. If heÄ…d ever thought
himself muscular, the sight of these men would have changed his mind.
And the warriors wore so little, a strip of cloth covering their genitals and
a light robe of the local wool over their shoulders; he could see each and
every muscle. They also had long hair, which they wore pulled back into a
braid. The spear each one carried showed his warrior status.
Since landing on the planet, all AkiÄ…d done was stare as a succession
of desirable men wandered across the landscape and ignored him. Damn
the professor for pulling him into this project. HeÄ…d called it the
opportunity of a lifetime. The chance to study the culture of a society that
hadn t been in contact with the outside world since it had been settled. Aki
had jumped at the opportunity. The job should have gone to someone
with ten times his experience. The professor hadn t warned him that it
could also be the failure of a lifetime.
5

Aki looked over at the old woman. She was spinning thread from
the goat like animals the tribe raised. He watched as the thread twirled
gracefully on her drop spindle. Maybe he could make her understand his
need. Her standing with the tribe might be high enough to allow her to
help him. ºI donÄ…t want to be a warrior. I just want to speak with them.
DonÄ…t they understand?º
ºThey understand.º She picked up some of the wool and put it in
his hands. Then she pulled a bit out and showed him how to roll it
between his fingers. He did so, anything to help win her approval. She
smiled when he managed to make a bit of clumsy thread. ºThey do not
speak to those outside the tribe.º
 Maybe you could explain to them what I need? he asked, still
twirling the wool.
 What is it that you think you need, Aki? What is it that a warrior
can give to you?
Before he could even stumble through an answer for that question,
a shadow fell over him. He looked up to see that the tallest of the warriors,
the one who had stopped to stare down at him earlier, had moved to
stand just in front of him.
Aki met the man s eyes and refused to squirm under his gaze. He
knew what the warrior saw a slender man with straight dark hair that
fell just past his ears, and dark eyes shaped to reveal his Asian heritage.
Not that the man would recognize that. New Rangipo had long forgotten
about Earth. But he had the man s attention now.  I am Aki.
The warrior s eyes widened just a bit, and Aki held his breath,
wondering if the man would actually speak to him. Instead the warrior s
gaze moved to the woman. ºGrandmother, he has no warrior.º
No, that had to be  he is no warrior. Apparently the warrior had
decided for some reason to warn Grandmother that the man she was
talking to wasn t a warrior. He struggled to put aside the insult and
remember that he d have to make note of the verb sound for ºisº and
 has . The pronunciation sounded different in a male voice. Though it
was possible the verb conjugation was different for warriors in this society.
It would make an interesting study, if he could ever get enough
6
To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
information to actually study it.
At least heÄ…d finally heard a warrior speak. Not that the smooth,
deep voice was going to help his celibacy issues. He moved the clump of
wool onto his lap to hide his budding erection. That was another problem.
He was supposed to behave like an objective scientist while researching
buff, half naked men. He was doomed to be the planetÄ…s most frustrated
inhabitant.
He absently twirled more of the wool between his fingers and
hoped grandmother didn t order him to leave. He couldnÄ…t risk standing
up and letting the warrior see how his body was reacting the man s
closeness. He d need to find heavier pants if this kept happening.
The old woman shook her head in answer to the warrior s question
but showed no sign of being concerned about it. The man glanced at him
again, then turned and strode off across the rocky ground, leaving his
companions behind. Those two nodded to the woman and addressed her
with the ºgrandmotherº honorific before heading towards a cluster of the
tribe s hide tents.
Aki looked down at the tangle of wool in his lap. He d made a mess
of it. Grandmother reached over to take it from him, her fingers hitting his
stiffening cock as she did so. She chuckled, and he felt his face grow
warm.
The woman lifted the wool and pointed with a thin brown finger.
ºAki, you should go to bathe. Up that path.º The trail she indicated wasn t
much more than a stretch of dirt slightly pinker than the soil around it.
ºThere is water. It will be good. You should go.º
Aki stood, keeping his body turned away from her. She was right. A
bath would help in more ways than cleanliness. He didn t need to walk
the two kilometers back to the research base with his trousers tented. Not
that there would be anyone there except the professor. He d sent three of
the team to the lake settlement and two south to a smaller farming
community. Aki alone had been sent to tackle the warriors, again.
Now, Grandmother had sent him away. He had a general idea of
where the trail he was on led. The researchers had access to hundreds of
satellite images taken of New Rangipo. They showed a stark desert world
7
To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
with a few farmed settlements and even a small town around the largest
lake. Generations ago, the first settlers had planned to transform the
world. Instead the planet had transformed them. Most of the land was
only ever seen by the tribes, who fiercely guarded their water sources
from intruders. This trail led up to deep pools of water in the rocky hills.
HeÄ…d been told that the minerals leaching from the rocks made
water in the pools unpalatable and that even the goat like creatures
avoided drinking it. The tribe resented the research team visiting the spot,
so the researchers had left the area alone. But Grandmother had sent him
this way. Maybe that was a small sign of acceptance. He grabbed onto that
hope as he scrambled up the steepest part of the path and stood looking at
the water.
The day had grown cooler and steam curled out of the pools. He
sniffed, but there was only a hint of the expected sulfur smell. Kneeling,
he ran his hand through the warm water. They d been using a sonic
shower in camp while the tribe bathed in hot springs. With a silent thanks
to Grandmother, he stripped off his slacks and a loose shirt that promised
the best in sun protective fibers, and stepped into the water. Warmth
lapped his shins. Ledges had been carved into the side of the pool, and he
could see pink rock under the water. Farther out, the pool grew darker as
the water deepened. He sat on the ledge, letting the warmth flow over his
hips and caress him. Cold water would have gotten rid of his hard on, but
now he was tempted to think of a big strong warrior while jerking himself
off. He really needed to learn to control his thoughts if he wanted to
succeed on the assignment.
He slipped off the ledge and lowered himself into the deeper water.
There he took a breath, ducked under and scrubbed his hair with his
fingers. He didn t have any shampoo, but water and friction would wash
out most of the dirt.
He surfaced and shook the water from his dark hair. For the first
time in weeks, he felt fresh. He turned back to the ledge. A warrior sat
there. Shocked, Aki froze. The warrior didn t seem surprised to see him.
He just sat, watching him. The same man who d stared down at him in
front of Grandmother s tent.  Grandmother sent me, Aki offered.
8
To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
The warrior said nothing. Aki studied his face, mostly to keep from
looking at his strong, naked body. The man s square jaw was smooth and
clean shaven. His blue eyes didn t yet bear the permanent crinkles at the
sides that would come from squinting against the glare of the sun. The
same sunlight that glinted in his hair.
Aki sighed and tried focusing on a space above the blond head. All
he could think of was the broad chest and naked torso he d see if he only
dared to look down.
ºYou have no warrior?º the man asked in his deep voice.
Aki caught his breath and looked back into the man s eyes. ºI am no
warrior,º he answered, using the verb he was sure of.
The man frowned, seeming displeased with the answer, and shook
his head. ºYou have no woman. No wife.º
Aki worried his lower lip in thought. That verb had to mean have.
Well, the answer was safe enough. ºI have no wife.º
ºYou have no warrior?º
ºI have no warrior,º Aki repeated, as if reciting a basic language
lesson.
The man nodded, apparently satisfied. ºI am Raiden.º
ºI am Aki.º He d said it before, but this time the man seemed to be
listening.
Raiden held out his hand, palm up. Aki stared at it, uncertain about
what to do. Raiden gestured with his fingers, as if trying to coax in a timid
animal. ºCome. You need a warrior.º
Hell, yes. But that couldnÄ…t be what Raiden meant, could it? He
reached out.
Raiden leaned forward. His hand closed around Aki s, and he drew
him close. ºWhen you watch the warriors, your body shows what your
spirit desires. You need to join with a warrior to settle your spirit. You will
be more balanced when I am in you.º
AkiÄ…s mind stumbled over the words, translating them. ºIn me?º
RaidenÄ…s hand moved to the back of AkiÄ…s head and pulled him
close. Until... Damn, the hottest guy on the planet was kissing him. Which
was completely unprofessional. He pulled back.
9
To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
Raiden let him go, a look of disappointment crossing his face.  I do
not please you?
 No. Yes. I mean...it s just that our rules say I shouldn t do this. Get
out of the pool and leave now, he told himself. He was supposed to talk to the
warriors, not fuck them. Or be fucked, which seemed to be the direction
Raiden s thoughts were going.
The warrior shrugged.  Your rules are not rules for a warrior. Your
spirit calls for balance. I see this. Grandmother saw this. Our rules say you
must decide if you wish to accept me as a warrior. Let me show you how I
can please you. Raiden held out his hand again.
Spirit balancing. A local ritual. Maybe the professor would buy that.
If he didn t think about it too much, he might even convince himself. He
put his hand in Raiden s.
Warm fingers closed around his, and Raiden drew him forward.
Then he wrapped an arm around Aki s waist and lifted him until knelt on
the ledge, straddling the warrior. Raiden s hands moved down to cup
Aki s rear, and Aki braced his hands on the warrior s shoulders to keep
from falling into him. Raiden chuckled and kissed him, his tongue flicking
softly over Aki s lips.
 Do you open your mouth when you do this on your world?
Raiden asked.
Aki nodded, parting his lips and letting Raiden s tongue tease the
inside of his mouth. The warrior tasted of a local minty leaf, and Aki
realized the other had prepared for this encounter by chewing the leaves
before coming to the hot springs to find him. Grandmother had set him
up!
One of Raiden s hands moved to his mid back and pushed him
forward. Aki gasped in surprise, and Raiden s tongue slipped deep into
his mouth. Aki gave into the kiss, letting the warrior caress and fill his
mouth. He moaned as Raiden s tongue moved deep inside him and drew
him to arousal. Strong hands cupped AkiÄ…s buttocks and raised him out of
the water. Raiden s kisses moved downward along his neck and to his
chest, raising goose bumps. He stopped and his tongue circled a nipple.
ºYou are smooth. The others who came with you are not so.º
10
To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
ºMy tribe,º he chose a word Raiden would understand, ºis different
from theirs.º
Raiden lowered him down a little and looked into his eyes. ºYour
tribe is very beautiful. The others, they do not know how to be a warrior
to you.º He kissed Aki gently, before reaching back to where he d left his
loincloth and robe when he entered the water. Aki saw him reach under
the robe and pull something out. He recognized one of the thick, sappy
leaves used for healing burns. ºWomen use this is to make things more
comfortable, Raiden said.  I will help you so you know how.º
Now Aki stared at the leaf. Primitive lube? HeÄ…d felt the stuff before
and it was slick enough. He wondered if it worked under water or if
Raiden planned to take him elsewhere. Suddenly, he worried heÄ…d led too
academic of a life for what Raiden had planned.
ºDo not be frightened,º Raiden said. ºYou will feel better when you
have my strength inside you. I will go slowly so you will understand.º He
put the leaf back behind him and drew Aki in for another kiss. ºHave you
never experienced this on your world?
Aki felt the warmth of a blush mix with the heat of his arousal.  Of
course I have. Once, he thought, but he didn t look like you do. Raiden s
hands caressing his body made him feel as uncertain as a virgin. He
leaned into him, seeking his warmth.
 Does my body please you?º
Aki nodded. He moved his hands down from RaidenÄ…s shoulders,
feeling the hard muscle as he went. He splayed his fingers across the
broad chest, reaching from one nipple to the other. He d never had a lover
RaidenÄ…s size. He reached down, wondering if the warrior was as big
everywhere.
Raiden s hand circled Aki s wrist and moved his hand back up to
his chest.  Not yet. Your spirit is not yet ready.
Aki wasn t sure what Raiden meant, but he leaned forward, hoping
the warrior would respond with a kiss. He wasn t disappointed. Aki
parted his lips at the touch of Raiden s lips, and the warrior s tongue dove
deep into him. He took it in eagerly, feeling his body respond and heat
course through him. Then Raiden dove too deep, and Aki jerked back,
11
To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
trying not to gag.
Raiden held him until he recovered. ºI am learning how to kiss
you,º the warrior said. ºYou must tell me if it is not good.º
ºI think my mouth is just small,º Aki said.
ºThen I will not go so deep there.º Raiden pulled him into another
kiss as Aki realized what the ºthereº implied. But RaidenÄ…s tongue was in
his mouth again, and that was all he wanted to think about. RaidenÄ…s
thumbs teased his nipples, and he moaned as shivers ran through his
body. He shifted his position, trying to rub his erection against the warrior.
RaidenÄ…s mouth left his and his hands went around Aki s waist to
lift him up again. Now RaidenÄ…s tongue teased at his nipples, and his
erection pressed against the warrior s torso, letting Raiden know just how
hard he was. The warmth of the warriorÄ…s mouth turned to chills when he
drew back and blew air across Aki s tight nipples.
Aki shivered and moaned, arching to show Raiden he wanted to
feel his mouth against the sensitive skin again. He saw RaidenÄ…s hand
reach back to his robe to find the thick leaf while his mouth still caressed
AkiÄ…s nipples. Aki gripped RaidenÄ…s shoulders and watched the warrior
squeeze the leaf until sap covered two fingers. He shivered with
nervousness, knowing where the warrior planned to put those fingers.
Raiden guided him back down and kissed him, his tongue
exploring and filling him without going too deep. Slowly, he pulled back,
just kissing Aki softly on the lips and jaw and taking a moment to look
into his eyes. ºKiss me as deeply as you can,º he invited.
Aki let his tongue slip into RaidenÄ…s mouth and explore the warmth
of him. His hands touched RaidenÄ…s strong jaw then found the braid that
hung down his back and wrapped around it. He marveled that he could
be kissing a warrior who looked like something out of his fantasies.
He felt Raiden s fingers slipping along the crack of his buttocks. His
hand clutched at RaidenÄ…s shoulder, and he knew the warrior felt it.
Raiden twisted his tongue around Aki s as he pushed one finger into him.
Aki tensed. He d never been comfortable at this. What would happen if he
were too tight for Raiden? Then the finger pushed past the ring of muscles
and slipped inside him. He squirmed, trying to get comfortable and felt
12
To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
the second finger pressing against him. The noise he made probably
sounded like a whimper.
Raiden s stopped. ºJust hold on to me,º he said. ºYou are tight
because you have not had a warrior before. I will go slowly.º
Aki took a deep breath and leaned against Raiden. It had been
months since he d been with anyone, and even then it had been more
mutual masturbation than anything like this. He felt Raiden s hand move
and clenched those strong shoulders hard enough to leave a bruise.
Finally both fingers were in him. Raiden moved them slowly, twisting and
wiggling them. Then he just stopped, holding his hand perfectly still until
AkiÄ…s grip on his shoulder loosened.
ºAm I hurting you?º
Aki took a breath. ºNo.º He shifted his hips to find a more
comfortable position and surprised himself by slipping deeper onto
RaidenÄ…s fingers. The warm water seemed to help. He moved again and
slipped until he felt Raiden s hand against his buttocks. The fingers
twisted, and Aki gasped at the shiver that ran through him. Prostate, the
scientist in him said.
ºThat is your energy spot,º Raiden said. ºYou should not be around
so many warriors without being settled.º
ºHow do you know I am unsettled?º He wanted Raiden to stroke
that spot and send shivers through him.
ºI watched you,º Raiden said. ºI saw you were beautiful, but I was
not sure about your spirit until grandmother showed me. Do I please
you?º He stroked the spot once more, and Aki arched with the pleasure of
it. ºWe are in the water, so it is easy for you to move until you feel
pleasure. This way I can learn the rhythm you please yourself with.º
ºBounce on your hand?º Was that why the warrior was holding his
hand so still? So Aki could show how he would please himself?
Raiden nodded, so Aki lifted up, feeling the fingers nearly slide out
of him, then lowered back down on them. Raiden was right, he could
move easily in the water. He started slowly, feeling the warrior s fingers
shift in him while he studied RaidenÄ…s features. Damn, he looked good
with his strong jaw and blue eyes. Aki shoved down and bent forward for
13
To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
a kiss. Raiden opened his mouth and let Aki s tongue explore him. Aki
pushed his cock against RaidenÄ…s stomach, while bouncing up and down
on his long fingers. Kiss and bounce. He moaned with the pleasure of it.
Just him and a rock hard warrior who was willing to let him do whatever
he wanted.
And Raiden knew what to do to send heat coursing through Aki s
body. He wrapped his fingers around Aki s shaft and moved with Aki s
rhythm. And with each bounce, he twisted his fingers so they stroked Aki
and made him groan. He bounced faster, and RaidenÄ…s tongue teased his
mouth. The next time he lifted and came down, a third finger filled him,
stretching him. He reveled in the feeling, shoving down, rising and
shoving down again furiously. His body tingled, his senses filled with
heat. Raiden stroked him and thrust deep with his tongue. Shivers
exploded along his spine and his world was nothing more than the feeling
of Raiden inside him and around him. Everything collapsed, focused on
one spot in his body, then exploded outward. He dropped hard on all
three fingers. Raiden twisted them and stroked inside him as he came. He
shuddered, clawing the warrior s shoulder and letting his cum spread on
the water. Then he collapsed, panting.
Raiden lowered him to his lap, and Aki curled against him. He
could feel RaidenÄ…s erection. The warrior hadn t come. And he hadn t
pulled his fingers out. They werenÄ…t done yet.
ºSee, you are already becoming more settled.º Raiden s voice
rumbled in his ear. ºYou have a fast rhythm. I will work to keep you
pleased and balance you by teaching you when to slow your rhythm. We
will do that now.º The warrior shifted, moving Aki from his lap but
keeping those three fingers in him. ºWhen you are ready, kneel where I
was sitting. I will go behind you.º
AkiÄ…s gaze moved down to where the warriorÄ…s cock curved upward
in the space between them. He reached out, and this time Raiden let him
wrap his hands around the thick shaft. Three fingers, he thought, three
fingers already filled him, but Raiden was thicker and longer. He closed
his hand over the shaft and looked into RaidenÄ…s eyes. ºYou are very big.º
With the hand that wasn t inside Aki, Raiden stroked the side of
14
To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
Aki s face and traced his jaw with a finger. ºYou are frightened. I have
learned your rhythm and how to please you. I will only please you more
when I go into you. Then you will learn my rhythm and how I am
pleased. Do you not do this in your tribe?º
ºWe arenÄ…t so big,º Aki blurted.
Raiden chuckled. ºI will guide you.º His hand moved from Aki to
grab his robe and bundle it against the edge of the rocks. ºKneel on the
ledge and put this beneath you for softness when you bend over.º
Bend over and let me shove my cock into you, Aki thought, then
Raiden s fingers stroked against the sensitive spot inside him, and he felt a
shiver run along his spine. Damn if the warrior wasnÄ…t going to make him
hard again. All he wanted was Raiden touching him, filling him. He
bunched the robe up and positioned it under his hips as he stretched out
along the warm rocks. The warrior lifted his butt into the air, and he saw
Raiden reach for the leaf with his free hand. The thought of him squeezing
the sap out onto his thick cock and smoothing it along the shaft made Aki
tilt his hips upward in anticipation. The fingers pulled out of him, leaving
him feeling surprisingly empty. Then he felt the head of RaidenÄ…s cock
press against him. He took a breath and clutched at the cloth beneath his
fingers.
 I will not hurt you. The warrior s deep voice said from above
him.  I have made you ready for me.
Aki s response came out as a grunt when Raiden pushed into him.
But the warrior went slowly, stopping to let him adjust before pushing
further. Aki breathed deeply. He relaxed when he realized he didn t feel
any pain, just a strange pleasure of being filled. Filled until Raiden s balls
pressed against his buttocks. The warrior remained motionless, letting
him experience the sensation of fullness. Aki wondered how many men
could just stand there unmoving with their cock aching for release. No
wonder Raiden thought he moved fast.
Then Raiden moved, pulling halfway out of him and pushing in
again slowly. He kept up the movement in a measured pace until Aki
raised his hips in anticipation of each trust, his own cock throbbing with
need. Aki struggled to wiggle his hand under his hips to touch himself.
15
To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
ºAh, now you are ready for me.º
Now? What did the warrior consider what they were already
doing? Suddenly Raiden pulled out of him, leaving him feeling empty
again.
ºI want to see how beautiful you are with me in you.º
Aki let Raiden help turn so he lay with his back against the warm
rocks. The warrior s face was flushed and his curved cock could have been
carved from the rocks that surrounded them. This time Raiden put the
robe under Aki s head as a pillow before producing another leaf and
squeezing out the sap. Aki watched him spread the slippery stuff up and
down his shaft. He felt himself hardening as he watched the big man
stroke himself. His own cock throbbed in response to the strokes, and he
realized he was rocking his hips in response to the rhythm without
thinking. He needed the warrior to touch him.
Raiden did, spreading the slippery sap along Aki s shaft with two
fingers. Aki moaned, his fingers curling around the edge of the rocks. He
tried to push himself into Raiden s grip.  You are trying to be fast again,
Raiden said.  You must let me decide the pace.
 To balance my spirit? Aki asked.
ºIt will be good,º Raiden said.  You need me to be in you.
Aki nodded, staring at the warrior s thick shaft. It fit a moment ago. It
has to fit again, he thought. He stared up into Raiden s eyes as the warrior
spread his legs and positioned him between them. The warrior parted his
lips and drew a breath as he pushed the head of his cock against Aki. He
exhaled as he pushed, and Aki felt the thick cock slip easily inside him.
ºYou are becoming balanced, Raiden said.  But I know you like
being kissed and when we do this from the front, I can kiss you.º
Raiden lowered toward him, and Aki parted his lips. Then he
flicked at Raiden s lower lip with his tongue. The warrior chuckled and
wrapped his arms around Aki, one hand supporting his head. His tongue
dove into Aki as his hips moved back and thrust forward. Aki felt full as
Raiden s thickness moved deep inside him. Raiden s tongue twisted along
his as Raiden drew back and thrust again.
Aki bucked with his hips as the stroke exploded up his spine. He
16
To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
wiggled, trying to rub his cock against RaidenÄ…s abdomen. Raiden knew
what he needed, and one hand went down to circle Aki s shaft. Aki s
world became nothing more than Raiden in him and RaidenÄ…s hand
stroking him. The warrior set the rhythm, moving slowly, until Aki
moaned for release.
Raiden s hard body pressed against Aki, and his tongue filled his
mouth. His hips moved with a steady rhythm that brought Aki to the edge
of release without pushing him over it. He found himself grunting with
each hip thrust and his hands clutching at the warrior s shoulder. One
hand found the braid and wrapped around it, tugging it. He could think
of nothing but Raiden, the feel of him, the taste of him. He teetered on the
edge of release. He pulled his mouth free from Raiden s kiss.
 Raiden, please. I need to come.
Raiden chuckled, but he changed the rhythm of his thrust.
Aki tilted his hips in response, moaning and gasping for air. His
shaft rubbed along Raiden s taut abdomen. Raiden reached down for it,
but before the warrior could do much more than close his hand around it,
Aki s entire body shook with the need for release. His hands raked along
Raiden s biceps as he shuddered and came, his seed spurting between
them. Raiden didn t stop. Aki felt his fullness as he pumped in him for
another minute, each stroke drawing shudders from Aki. Then the warrior
released with a moan that Aki felt to his tail bone.
Raiden stayed on top of him, kissing his neck and nibbling at his
ear. Aki stroked the warriorÄ…s muscled back, relishing the warmth between
them. Then Raiden stood, lifting Aki in his arms, and stepped back into
the pool. The water washed them clean as Raiden caressed AkiÄ…s short
hair. ºHow do you feel?º
Aki laughed. ºLike my whole body has been filled with you.º
ºThen I have pleased you, and you can accept me as your warrior.º
Aki stared at him for a moment. Not that he would mind, but how
long would he be assigned to the project? A lifetimeÄ…s work the professor
had said. For the right man. Aki looked into RaidenÄ…s blue eyes. Maybe
he d found the right man. ºI have a warrior now.º
Raiden looked serious for a moment. ºYou must remember to tell
17
To Have A Warrior by Marie Dees
other warriors that when they ask you.º
ºThey wonÄ…t ask. They wonÄ…t even talk to me because IÄ…m not a
warrior.º
Raiden wrapped an arm around him.  I am your warrior, so now
your spirit is balanced. Any warrior may speak to you, but he must know
that I am your warrior. They must also not touch you or push you out of
their way. If they do so, you must tell me.º
 It ll be the first thing I do. Aki relaxed into RaidenÄ…s arms.
