The King's Claim
by @GlacierRavenWhen the starship *Odyssey* crashes on a savage world, its human survivors are captured by the planet's dominant species: a race of formidable, primal warriors. To secure their freedom, the crew's leader must survive the brutal claim of the alien king who has chosen her.
MEET THE CHARACTERS
Captain Drina Vance
A 32-year-old expedition leader with sharp green eyes and a lean, capable frame hardened by command. Her uniform is torn at the shoulder from the crash, revealing a darkening bruise that matches the stubborn set of her jaw. She moves with a scientist's precision, but her gaze holds the desperate calculation of someone who just lost her ship and crew.
Dorrlon Krevin
The alien chieftain who first claimed the crashed vessel, standing nearly seven feet tall with corded muscle that moves beneath sun-bronzed skin marked with intricate, ash-gray tribal scars. His hair is a wild, dark mane tied back with leather and bone, and his eyes are the startling gold of a jungle predator. He wears minimal hide armor, every movement radiating a silent, effortless power that dominates the clearing.
Dr. Leo Finch
The ship's 28-year-old xenobiologist, with wire-frame glasses perched on a nose frequently sunburned and intelligent, anxious eyes. His hands, usually steady for delicate sample work, now fidget constantly. He’s the smallest of the surviving crew, which makes him seem even more like prey among the towering aliens.
Rhykar
Dorrlon's second-in-command, slightly younger but no less imposing, with a long, pale scar cutting across his ribcage. His gaze is more openly intense and assessing than his chieftain's, often lingering on the human captives with a blend of suspicion and a hunter's appraisal. He smells of damp earth and the sharp, clean scent of the jungle's resinous trees.
Lieutenant Anca Petrovich
The 26-year-old security officer, her auburn hair escaping a tight braid, knuckles scraped raw from the crash. She holds herself with a fighter's coiled readiness, her blue eyes constantly scanning for weakness, for an escape route. The alien warriors watch her most closely, recognizing a fellow fighter, however outmatched.

Golden Eyes in the Wreckage
The world was heat, pain, and the scent of crushed foliage. Elara's head throbbed where it had struck the console, but the deeper ache was the weight of golden eyes on her skin. Kaelen stood over the wreckage, a giant carved from sun and shadow, his gaze stripping her uniform and rank away. When his calloused fingers wrapped around her bicep, a shocking bolt of heat shot straight to her core. Her body, traitorous and alive, clenched in primal recognition of the predator who now owned her.
Unraveling the Precursor
the so-called exam quickly gets kinky. Dorrlon secures her hands above her head and her ankles far apart. The doctor offers to assist, but Dorrlon summarily dismisses him to go help the others in the makeshift medical tents. Drina has a really bad feeling about this, especially since she's never been intimate with a man beyond kissing and fondling under clothing. She protests, but Dorrlon gets an unhealthy gleam in his eyes, like he's really looking forward to this intimate indignity.
Treasure of Desire
Dorrlan switches modes to more businesslike and declares that he wants her treasure fully uncovered. He slowly, carefully shaves her mound after he lifts her bent legs splayed wide open, her lower back resting on a firm wedge of some sort; he takes a lick of her pussy but restrains himself, soaps her entire area, now shamelessly exposed and weeping, and meticulously uses the blade to remove every single hair. Which turns out to be unnecessary, because he's just wanted to try it, and he runs an alien instrument over her pussy and ass to forever destroy the hair follicles, so she can't hide her charms from anyone. She is alarmed by this "hiding from anyone" and what it might mean.
Bound by Desire
She asks if he's going to remove the probe, but he tells her not yet. She begs him to leave her alone, because she's never been with a man. She smiles at her in reassurance and tells her that he knows, it is why his essence honed in on her above all the other women in the rubble.
Screams in the Jungle
alarmed by female screams, Dorrlon rushes back to camp with Drina. One of the warriors, Rhykar, is spanking a woman (Lisa Henlon, the navigator) because she fought him when he tried to remove her from the female pen to take her in for examination. She protests that their ship's doctor, Henry Chast, is perfectly capable of rendering first aid- but Dr. Chast is male, and the aliens won't allow their own ship mates to aid the women.
