Samira:

It has been 2 years since I joined the draft and during those years, I enjoyed my work more than I ever thought possible.

No day was ever boring. After being rotated and assigned to different sectors of the Space Station. I was finally able to choose the work that I wanted to do for the remainder of my contract and that was a consultant to the Cuisine Research sector.

Although at times I would be called as a special consultant on other fields, My love for food made Cuisine Research my primary concern. Because of my contributions like pairing earth ingredients with Kindred cuisine and synergizing different ingredients from the different trade worlds into fusion dishes; The Kindred rewarded me well.

My generous monthly earnings ensure that I was able to send more money to my family and it also allowed me to travel different parts of Earth whenever there is research to be done or ingredients to be retrieved.

I could even retire after my contract was up and live the rest of my life, traveling the world if I want to. But it seems my freedom and happiness was not meant to be.

Two weeks before my contract officially ends, they came.

It happened when I was having breakfast at the Mess Hall with some of my human co-workers when a small bot floated towards me with a holo-message from Commanders Stabs Deep and Locks Tight, the Twin Kindred Council Members.

"Ms. Williams, please proceed to the Council Chamber located at the Command Center regarding a special matter." the gruff voice of the dark twin Deep rang clear through the message, making me flinch.

"Do not worry about your shift Ms. Williams. We talked it over with your research leader to give you a day off for today." the much gentler voice of the light twin Lock somehow soothed my frayed nerves.

I tried to act normal and even waved to my companions before two Kindred warriors came to fetch me, They were mated to Earth females and I knew them since I made it a point to be polite to our saviors.

The Council Chambers was a large scale area in the Command Center with a few dozen meeting room that can hold several member and delegates from other planets as they discuss various topics of interest but right now, I was led into the main room where I saw the Deep and Lock standing to greet me which I acknowledged.

The warriors gave me over to their care and left the room, Tea and some cookies were provided by a small bot as I swallowed and sat down on the right side of the long table while the twins took the other two seats in front of me.

Not one to mince words, Deep cleared his throat before he began his speech.

"It has come to our attention that you dream shared with a pair of Twin Kindred warriors. Is this true?" he asked me bluntly.

"Yes." I answered and meet his intense gaze with my own.

"Why have you not informed us? Ms. Williams? Have we done anything to make you uncomfortable?" Lock asked me gently.

"No, Of course not. The Kindred has been nothing but kind. I just don't want it." I said as I clenched my fist.

"You don't want it?" the twins asked together.

"I never asked to be a bride. I came here for a new start and a better life, It was not in my plans to...to get called by any Kindred." my words seems to have made them quiet.

"I see. " Deep laid back and I saw a gleam of calmness in his black eyes. "Do not be afraid Ms. Williams, most potential brides who are called by our kind have always feared us."

I blushed as he smiled at me. He knew that I did my research and I have heard some weird things about how Twin Kindred make love to their wife.

But to me, it was just.....so impossible. One warrior is built on a massive scale, even bigger than an average Earth male. And their cocks are also built the same way. I have heard enough gossip from several wives on board about their alien husband's lovemaking and somehow for someone who has never known a man's touch....

It was a scary thing. I mean having a huge cock shoved inside you will no doubt break you and the pain after is even more frightening. With the twin Kindreds, two huge penises in one opening just do not add up.

My fear must have shown in my face and it might be because I was suddenly sweating that Lock tried to pacify me.

"We are not asking you to surrender to them, Ms. Williams. But you have spent 2 years on this ship and have you ever seen a Kindred mistreat his wife?"

That made me think back.

No, in fact they seem content and weirdly happy in fact.

"That is because we love our females to distraction, We would never hurt them. I and my brother would die protecting our wife and sons before that happens." Deep said. "All I am saying is that at least give the twins who called you a chance. "

He pulled a small tech-pad and threw it towards me, I caught it and the screen displayed the rules for the Claiming Period between me and the Twins who would claim me.

I read through it carefully and somehow it eased my fears a bit but also made me even more nervous. I had questions...more questions than ever.

But before I could voice them, the chamber's sliding doors swung open and I felt them even before they came in. My entire body shivered and was covered in goosebumps as they came into view.

They looked larger than ever up close. Twin Kindreds they may be but somehow it was my first meeting "dark-skinned" Twin Kindreds, said to be a rare color amongst them but not unheard of; 2 years ago they seem so young but now they looked more hardened and mature. Maybe it was the scars I saw on the silver-eyed twin's hands and his neck but suddenly I wanted to run.

Before I can collect myself, the Darker twin with the hauntingly bright eyes suddenly marched up to me and enveloped me in a hug. I was about to push him when I smelled something really good; It smelled like dark chocolate and some sort of delicious spice that made my breasts tingle until to my embarrassment, I felt myself becoming hot...and a bit damp.

Oh my god.

"Wha-" I squeaked when he leaned over to my neck and inhaled deeply making me flinch. "L-Let me go! Haven't you heard of personal space, you idiot!"

My protest was met with a burst of rumbling laughter from the Kindred as I pushed at his massive chest , he leaned back and somehow it was as if he knew I was wet because his full lips stretched into a big grin. He stared at me for a while longer and reluctantly let me go.

"You have spirit. I like that." his amusement at my expense made me glare at him until the other twin, the one with caramel skin elbowed the other aside and took my hands in a more gentler fashion.

"Forgive me milady for my brother's attitude. He is just happy to see you and as am I. If I may.." he bowed his head and kissed my hands reverently before he pulled away respectfully. His gaze was also tinged with lust but it was tempered by awe and longing, something that made me blush even more.

He must be the light twin, I have heard that Twin Kindred have a "light" and "dark" twin. the light twin is known for their more gentle, caring and sensitive nature while their other half, the dark twin is the complete opposite; usually blunt, aggressive and stubborn.

"Let me make the introductions.." Lock broke through the tense first meeting.

I finally learned their names after seeing them in my head for so long.

The Dark Twin is called Strikes Fast because he was the fastest fighter and would always make the first strike while the Light Twin is called Warring Soul because although he is as gifted as Strikes Fast, his sensitive nature often clashes with his warrior spirit.

As I politely made eye contact, their gazes bore through me. The dark twin was looking at me like he wanted to eat me while the light twin was a bit gentler but there was no mistaking hints of lust in his gaze too, making me shift uncomfortably.

Once the introductions were finished both twins took a seat next to me, making me nervous once again.

The Twin Council Members Lock and Deep then told me how the claiming period works for both warriors and their potential partner. I have learned that I will not immediately become "theirs" but as agreed by both the Government and the Council; the Kindred warrior(s) are given a chance to convince their bride to bond with them during the "claiming period" which takes about four of our Earth weeks. Each week is divided into different "things" the warrior can do with their brides to deepen their bond which is the holding, bathing, tasting and finally the last week where they can attempt to have sex with me and make a lasting bond between us.

The contract states I have to let them and in turn, they will respect my wishes as long as it does not breach the rules or affect their ability to try and win me over. If they can succeed in bonding me to them while observing the rules then I will be their wife but if they do not succeed and I hold out until the fourth week then I am free to walk away, no harm and no foul.

I could do that. It is just a month; I have been celibate all my life so I will not miss what I have not been getting right?

"I-I have some stipulations too." I raised my hand. Normally the past brides just accept this but a few more edits have been done to the rules compared to the first one.

"Very well, You have three requests we can fulfill for you so what are those?" Deep said.

"I know this means I cannot work during the claiming period but even so I want at least send the same amount of my monthly earnings to my family for this month. " I held my breath, thinking they would refuse but Lock nodded and I felt relieved.

"Second. I am stating now that I want to sleep alone in my bed for the first week, I am already uncomfortable with the situation as it is but I will allow them to hold me when I am awake and about...with certain conditions." my voice was strong on this one but still the council nodded.

I could feel both the Twin's gaze upon me even more and I looked at both of them. They wore looks of disappointment but the lust still blazes in their eyes.

When I made no more demands but instead held on to my final request, The one called Strikes Fast leaned near me making me jump. He was very tall and more imposing but even I have to admit that he was really handsome in a dangerous sort of way.

"Crafty woman, you are determined aren't you? Maybe it would be better if you had not just saved me when I was badly wounded in Ellesia." his dark voice made me clench my fists were on the table. "If you had let me die, you would not have been in this mess."

"Brother! Stop provoking her." the light twin gasp but I just ignored him, not wanting to cause a scene.

I remained silent the rest of the time after making my stipulations known but then the Twin Kindred made their own stipulations as was their right as well.

They made only one request and that was during the second week which is the bathing week, they wanted to take me to Ellesia since they left some work to be finished after taking down a heartless tyrant and continue the rest of the claiming period there as long as they are under supervision of the Head Commander stationed there.

Deep and Lock had not a problem with the request but asked me if I am willing to go to a foreign world five thousand light-years away. Oddly, I have none since they insured that my family will be provided for while I am doing this...claiming period.

That was all that mattered to me and since I now know I have a choice to not become their bride if I resist real hard enough then that will not be a problem for me.

I hope.

Strike:

Aside from the initial meeting which ended in her calling me an "idiot" which is an unfamiliar Earth word, she seems calm and the way she asked for stipulations shows that she is smart and that she loves her family because of her actions.

However, I could not help but feel dejected when she asked for a stipulation that we are not allowed to sleep with her during the first week. That drove me to taunt her which made her pretty face cloud over with sadness at my blunt words which made me shut up instantly after my brother admonished me for my actions.

But the moment the rules were explained, she asked to be excused to explain the situation to her superiors and co-workers, she did not look back and somehow I wanted to apologize so that made me stand up, calling her name.

"Samira."

She froze just as her hand reached the door, I was so sure that she would just ignore after I invaded her personal space and hurt her feeling but I did not want to see her go.

"What is it?" she turned and met my gaze, her brown eyes were clear and even the way she turn was just so arousing.

I opened my mouth but somehow I could not say the words "Sorry". It was obvious that she isn't too keen on having us for mates. I was about to say "nothing" but then she lifted her head high and spoke.

"I never asked for this but since the Kindred Council has been nothing but kind to me; I will not run so I will see you at my living quarters which is being remodeled for your convenience."

Once again, I was speechless at her spirit and how strong she was. Most females would be scared shitless at the prospect of being claimed by a Kindred but she took it rather well.

"You have taken an exceptional woman as a potential bride you two. Ms. Samira Williams has risen to become an important asset to the Cuisine Research Team here. She is also talented in other areas like nursing, graphics even social sciences." Deep told us. "The Council had their eyes on renewing her contract but when you reported dream-sharing with her; we had to postpone that to make way for your claiming period."

"We wish you two the best of luck. Not only is Ms. Williams smart...she also much more mature than the younger brides usually called by the Kindred; She may be a challenge even for accomplished warriors like you." Lock smiled at us enigmatically.

After we were briefed a bit more about the agreement and rules for our claiming period. We were guided by a femdroid to our bride's quarters. Usually, the bride is taken to the Kindred Warrior's quarters but we were originally stationed at the Twin Moons and have never been anywhere else so an exception was made.

"This is Ms. William's living quarters. All preparations for the claiming period and to ensure your comfort has been completed. I will take my leave now." the droid pressed the panel on the sides to open the door.

Me and Warring Soul both shivered as we came inside. The whole place was very spacious, it has enough room for the three of us to move around. There was a mild floral scent that somehow relaxes us. But then we sniffed and found a light female scent that must belong her wafting through the air, the whole place was well kept and it had a simple feminine look and charm.

But most of all, her scent was all over the place and I rather like that.

"She has lived here for 2 years. Away from her own world to pursue a career. Not many females would have the guts to do that. " Warring Soul touched the linings of the couch which can support three people. "I can smell her scent here as well brother."

While my brother took a seat, I checked the kitchen and wondered if we can make a simple meal for when she gets back. I was familiar with a few appliances but the cryo-storage unit for preserving food was an unfamiliar rectangle with two-compartment units and a few human utensils and cutlery are placed neatly throughout the counters so I am at lost on where to even start.

Then I heard a shuffling sound so I grabbed a knife and turned to face whatever was behind me. To my shock, it was a creature I have never seen before. It was not a Zicther but it reminds me of the Ellesian beast Aurica but built on a smaller more tamer scale.

The animal watched me with its blue eyes and then began approaching me, sniffing my boots before purring and rubbing its face against my leg. I crouched down and slowly tried to touch its head.

"Hmmmm.." I smiled when the furry creature butted its head against my massive palms so I touched it gently and it let out a mewling sound that somehow made me relax my guard.

I managed to earn its trust and carried it to show to my twin, who was taken in by its fluffy fur, walnut shaped eyes and it's purring sound as he scratched its chin.

"What.....are you doing to my cat?" I heard her voice just as we heard the main door swoosh close. She looked tired but when she saw us with her pet, she walked over to us and her pinched expression relaxed when she saw that her " cat" looked happy in my arms.

"If Cece has taken a shine to you. I guess that goes in your favor Kindred." came her grudging reply.

When I put her pet down, she saw some fur on my suit so she reached out and made sweeping motions on my suit until the hairs were off my chest and arms. A small vacuum-bot flew and cleaned up the hair fall but my attention was not on the robot but on the fact that she touched only me, making me wince in pain.

"I guess you do not know but when you try to touch only one Twin Kindred without being in contact with the other; it gives us pain," I said hoarsely making her flinch.

"So-sorry. I did not know that."

"Here try holding my hand milady." Warring went behind her and held her smaller hand while I pulled her other hand to touch my chest once again; an electric current passed through me and judging from the slight surprise I felt from Warring, he felt it too.

"Oh..." she gasped softly and her scent became even stronger, it made both our cocks half-hard because the delicious sensation was like an intimate touch.

She looked down and saw my hardened shaft, fear immediately entered her pretty features which made her pull away from us. Her face was still flushed but now there was a hint of wariness in them.

"Milady...." Warring's voice was full of longing at the loss of her touch. " Please don't be scared. We would never-"

"You boys must be hungry....I-I'll make us something to eat. Make your self at home..G-Go bathe or watch some TV." her voice was a bit soft as she hurriedly turned to escape to the kitchen.

"Let us help you please, It is the Kindred male's duty to cook for his lady." my brother told her but Samira shook her head and shut the kitchen door. "Lanare's breath, I think we scared her."

"No. I scared her. She saw my crotch after all." I cannot help but feel hurt when she pulled away from us. It was the first time a female has ever rejected me. "Can she blame us though? She is just so pretty and she smelled so ripe. I want to take her brother....want to taste her while you suckle her breasts and make her come when we stretch her to the hilt with our cocks."

Warring's eyes darkened at my words. The gentler twin he maybe but we both badly want our lady so much but it seems like she won't be letting us touch her for a while.

We both agreed that a cold shower might cool down our raging desires for Samira so we decided to lock ourselves in the bathing chamber.
