Alien's Bride Book One (13 page)

I felt heat and his cock pulsating inside me.
 
He gave me another fast jab and roared.
 
More heat, and his cock felt like it was lurching.
 
I was glued to the animal grimace frozen on his face.
 
His ferocity thrilled me.

When his face relaxed I figured we were done.
 
He lowered to give me a few sweet kisses.
 
His cock was still buried inside me, and still felt solid.
 
After a very brief interlude he started pumping again.
 
It didn’t take long for his breathing to get raspy.
 
I relaxed and focused on how he was crushing against my g-spot.
 
He started playing with my nipples again.
 
This sped me towards my second orgasm.
 
His own followed minutes after, and looked just as hardcore as his first.
 
This time some of his seed spilled out of me.
 
I figured he had to be done after that one.
 
But no.
 
He took a little kissing break and kept on fucking me.
 
(I guess he was pretty backed up).
    

When we were finally done, he carried me off the bed.
 
A domestic was there holding clothes for us.
 
Elentinus helped me put on a flouncy night gown and donned some shorts right when it occurred to me to check out his package.
 
I only saw it for a flash.
 
It was long and a lot darker than the rest of his skin.
 
While we were off the bed two domestics quickly changed the sheets.
 
Elentinus plopped me back in the middle of the bed, got under the sheets with me, and curled beside me to sleep.

I figured I wouldn’t fall asleep.
 
Everything was throbbing and room was still spinning.
 
When I closed my eyes, though, I was out.

***

Elentinus woke me by stroking my hair the next morning.
 
My heart pounded in panic when I realized where I was.
 
I remembered everything.
 
Yeah.
 
It happened.
 
I drew a deep breath.

“Good morning, wife.”
 
Elentinus had a serene smile for me.

I swallowed.
 
“So…we’re married now?”

“Yes.”
 
He kissed me softly.
 
“Call me ‘husband’ now, my dear.”

I looked away from him.
 
I was still taking in everything that happened with my newly sober head.

He played with some of my hair.
 
“Are you vexed with me?”

I drew my lips into my mouth to wet them.
 
“Um…where I come from…when a girl gets drunk she can’t really consent to sex.”

“So you are angry.”

I considered.
 
“I’m…not sure.
 
I kind of knew what I was getting into.”
 
I looked at him.
 
“You didn’t have to use the drug, Lord—um,
husband
.
 
I would have given in to you.”

“It would have been far more painful without the drug, my dear.”

I stared at him with wide eyes.

“We altered you so you would genetically compatible for breeding with us.
 
Our relative size differences, however, can’t be altered.”

I nodded.
 
“Understood.
 
I’m not going to worry about it anymore.
 
I don’t want our marriage starting off with bad feelings.”

Elentinus swept his arm around me and drew me close to him.
 
“Nor do I.”
 

He pulled me into a deep kiss.
 
I let myself feel the sweet flutters inside me.
 
I really did try to let go of what had happened.
 
Holding a grudge would have only hurt me in this situation.
 
I was still a prisoner.
 
I had to count my blessings things weren’t a lot worse.

A three-note melody sounded through the room.
 
Elentinus broke our kiss.

“That’s Hor.”

I made a sour face.
 
Breakfast would have been nice, but I sure as Hell didn’t want to eat crow.
 
“Tell him to go away.”

Elentinus laughed.
 
“He has to photograph us in bed together for our marriage record.”

I groaned.
 
“Why him?
 
Can’t a Domestic do it?”

“I promised him the honor when the time came.
 
He takes a very active interest in my happiness.”

“He also takes an active interest in my
un
happiness.”

Elentinus pressed a button on the wall.
 
“Enter.”
 
He looked back at me.
 
“Your status is different now, my dear.
 
Things will change for the better between you from here on.”

I pouted.

Whore came in wearing a shit-eating grin and holding what I assumed to be a camera.
 
He made a little bow at the foot of our bed.

“Good morning, master.”
 
He shot his grin at me.
 
“Mistress.”

I scowled at him.
 
“Morning.”

“Don’t gloat, Hor,” Elentinus said.

He feigned offense.
 
“Of course not.”
 
He brought the camera up in front of him and gave me his smug smile again.
 
“When you’re ready.”

“My hair’s a mess,” I said to Elentinus.

“It’s supposed to be.”
 
He mussed it some more for good measure.
   

Oh.

***

Elentinus and I had separate bathrooms.
 
I know I took longer in my shower than he did.
 
I was achy downstairs and took extra time to clean myself.
 
I emerged in one of the identical black dresses I’d been given to wear with my hair done nicely and some of the magic make-up on.
 
Elentinus was gone, though.
 
My spirits sank to see Whore standing in the middle of the room.

“Lord Elentinus regrets to inform you that he won’t be able to spend any time with you today.”

I lowered my head with disappointment.
 
Whore headed toward the staircase leading out.
 

“We have some matters to attend to on Earth.
 
The yacht will be landing soon.”

“What?”
 
I followed him up the first landing.
 
“We’re going to Earth?
 
I…I want to see it.”

“That’s out of the question.”
 
He continued toward the door, but did deign to look back at me.
 
“You can look out through the windows.”
 

This satisfied me enough to let him go.

Fifteen minutes or so later, Kang came over and told me I had to sit down for landing.
 
I sat on a large armchair to obey.
 
Kang rolled in front of me so my knees were pressed against him.
 
He bent over at its waist, covering me with his body, and gripped both my arms.
 
I was smooshed between him and the chair.

“Well…this isn’t awkward at all.”

“This is to ensure you’re not injured during our descent, mistress.”

“Haven’t you people ever heard of seat belts?”

Two seconds later I was glad he held me down.
 
The whole ship made a hard bounce and then careened from side to side.
 
One of the chairs at Elentinus’ dining table fell over.
 

I wet my lips.
 
“Was that…supposed to happen?”

“Yes, mistress.
 
We have entered the atmosphere.
 
We will be landing shortly.”

That wasn’t the landing?
 
I dug my nails into Kang’s arms.
 
Nothing happened, however.
 
Kang seemed to pull himself off me after an arbitrary amount of time.
 
I stayed in my smooshed position to look up at him curiously.

“We’ve landed, mistress.”
 

“Oh.”
 
I righted and tried to smooth out my crumpled dress.

The door opened at the top of the stairs.
 
Elentinus entered with Whore right behind him.
   

“Come, my dear,” Elentinus said with a smile.
 
“We’ve landed on your home world.”

I raced up the steps to meet him.
 
He took my hand as we walked down the corridor.
 
This simple gesture caused bubbly feelings to flutter through me, despite Whore following just behind us.
 

“It wouldn’t be safe for you to join me in my duties, today.”

“I understand.”

“You’ll be able to look out the windows from a lower terminal room.
 
I hope you’ll find that adequate.”
 
Elentinus stopped at the elevator.
 
“I’ll be occupied all day, I’m afraid.”

“What will you be doing on Earth?” I said as the elevator brought us down.

He didn’t answer right away.
 
The joy I was feeling evaporated.
 
I needed to learn to keep my mouth shut.

“We’ll be taking a census, first,” he said finally when we emerged from the elevator.
 
“Then I’ll be making sure my orders are being obeyed.
 
I’ll see to it that the camps have all the supplies they need, and consider their requests for more resources.
 
We’ll ensure at least 20% of the adult women capable of bearing children are pregnant.
 
We’ll retrieve some dissidents from the neighboring mountains.
 
Punish them.”

“It’s not necessary to share all this with her, master.”

Elentinus stopped with me in front of a door.
 
He took both my hands in his.
 

“Secrets are the seeds that sow dissension.”

I swallowed.
 
He’d enraptured me with his dark eyes again.

“You may not like the things I do to your people.
 
It may seem unfair, at times, or cruel.
 
But all my actions are to ensure the survival of both our races.
 
We’ve learned the lessons well from our own history.
 
People who are suffering do not thrive.
 
I try to be more of a benefactor than a dictator—but my orders must be obeyed.”

I nodded.
 
“I’m glad you’re being honest with me.
 
It…it’s the highest level of respect.”

Elentinus smiled.
 
Whore rolled his eyes.

He pressed the button to open the door.
 
It looked like the terminal room I’d been in when I had first awakened on the ship.
 
I ignored the eerie feeling the place gave me and went right to the floor to ceiling windows.
 
We were parked next to what might have been a highway overpass.
 
It was enclosed with a semi-clear fiberglass roof or something.
 
I could see a lot more of the tube-like highways nearby us.
 
In front of it all, though, was lush greenery.
 
Plants had crawled up the pylons.
 
I recognized dandelions, chickweed, and English ivy.
 
Okay, never mind the plants.
 
There were square buildings not far off.
 
Not skyscrapers, more like mid-level high-rises.
 
They were too far to really make out, but at least they seemed solid.
