Dinosaur World 8

by Jacobs, Logan

  “We do all we can.” The shorter scout nodded. “You help our crewmate. We try and help you, too.”

  “So, leave now,” the taller one said in a flat tone. “It is time to rest.”

  It was kind of amusing to suddenly be reminded how blunt Adhara’s people were, and how much she had adjusted from her time with us. She rolled her eyes in a very human display of annoyance, and the tall alien started to take his boots off.

  “I guess that’s our cue.” Becka smirked. “Let’s go.”

  “Good night,” I said, and the tall alien shot me a glance as he silently tucked his boots into the corner of the room.

  “They do not know the human sayings yet,” Adhara said. “They need time to adapt.”

  “I like how direct and to the point you guys are,” Kat chuckled. “Maybe humans should be picking up some of your mannerisms.”

  The shorter scout led the way out of the ship, and we followed him into the dense trees. Thick clouds rolled past the moon, and I couldn’t hear the usual chirping of the exotic night birds.

  I made sure I had my sharp gun in my grasp as I surveyed the clearing, and I shivered as the cold breeze swept over us. My eyelids were heavy, and I was ready to take off the well-tailored suit to climb into bed.

  The shorter scout strode over to the other ship, and he briefly said something to Adhara before he disappeared into the entrance at the back.

  Then I swung around as I heard a rumble behind us, and I quickly realized it was the sound of an approaching engine. My heart leapt into my throat for a split second as I imagined an alien fleet suddenly bearing down on us, but then headlights illuminated the clearing, and Min-jun drove his truck toward us through the trees.

  The oldest of Hae-won’s brothers was built like a tank, and his steely expression didn’t budge as he nodded at us. Tae and Sun-hee were crammed into the passenger seat together, and their muscular frames contorted to fit inside the small space.

  It didn’t take long to see why they were so cramped. The back of the truck was crammed full of villagers, mostly women, with one little boy. One of the younger women screamed when she saw the spaceships, and she flung her hands over her mouth as she started to sob.

  “They are scared of me,” Adhara whispered as the truck came to a halt.

  “They’re scared of the situation,” I explained. “They met you today already, remember? They welcomed you at the temple.”

  It was hard to be reassuring as the crowd of villagers stared wide-eyed at the spaceships and muttered hurriedly in Korean as they slowly climbed out from the truck.

  Hae-won’s brothers jumped out of their seats and started to help everyone down.

  The little boy tugged on his mother’s hand as he reached out in the direction of the ship, and he waved the cuddly bear that was clutched in his hand.

  “He’s not scared,” Becka pointed out. “Look, he wants a go in one of them.”

  Adhara looked over at the kid, and she gave him a nervous wave as he spotted us.

  The boy’s mouth fell open, and he waved back enthusiastically.

  “Human offspring are cute,” Adhara said with a little nod.

  “Wait until you see Jason’s,” Becka sighed and smugly tousled her hair. “You’ll fucking puke from the cuteness.”

  “Puke from cute?” Adhara frowned in concern, but before I could explain, Hae-won’s oldest brother approached.

  “Jason,” Min-jun said as he strode over to me. “I will need to head back to do another run. What is the news?”

  I glanced over at the villagers before I spoke, and I watched Sun-hee and Tae usher everyone toward the base. The little boy stared at Adhara as his mother pulled him along, and the alien gave him another wave.

  “We don’t have much time,” I said quietly. “The scouts reckon it will be a few days at most before the entire fleet is in our solar plane, and then the attack will begin as soon as they reach Earth’s orbit.”

  “What can be done?” Min-jun asked. There were dark bags under his eyes, and he kept a hand tightly gripped on the strap of his K2 rifle.

  “We have a plan to get on board the mothership,” I said. “We need to get to CERN for it to work, so we’re heading off in the morning.”

  “All of you?” The huge Korean looked at Hae-won as he spoke.

  “Yes.” Hae-won nodded. “I will not leave Jason’s side.”

  Min-jun was silent for a moment, and I wondered if he wanted to try to convince his baby sister to stay at the base. His dark eyes flickered down to her belly, and I figured he already felt like the protective uncle to the unborn child.

  Then I realized my kids were going to be guarded by the Korean mafia for the rest of their lives.

  Holy shit.

  “Very well,” he said eventually. “You are capable, little sister. I trust Jason to protect you.”

  There was a tension in the air as we spoke, and it felt like none of us wanted to acknowledge that it could be our final conversation with Min-jun.

  I knew I had to be strong enough for all of us, and there was no way I would let any hints of doubt show.

  “We might see you before we go in the morning,” I told the chiseled Korean. “But if not, then we’ll be back soon.”

  Hae-won suddenly jumped into Min-jun’s arms, and the massive man gently cradled his little sister. He whispered something in Korean, and she nodded furiously while she let out a sad little squeak.

  Becka sniffed as she watched them, and the moment was only broken when something nearby howled into the night.

  “Shit,” Kat sighed.

  I clutched my sharp gun tightly as I glanced upward and wondered what horrifying creature was out for blood in the forest tonight. We had already encountered some of South Korea’s dino offerings, and I wasn’t in a rush to run into any more. Not after the massive quetzalcoatlus attack at my wedding.

  “We should get inside,” I said as I stared out into the surrounding bushes. “It’s going to be a tough few days.”

  Min-jun nodded and gently stroked his sister’s hair before he spun on his heels and strode back toward his truck without another word.

  “You okay?” Becka asked as she swung an arm around Hae-won’s petite shoulders.

  The Korean beauty nodded as she watched her brother drive away, and we started to make our way back to the base.

  The huge wooden gate that hid the entrance was reinforced with steel now, and I pushed it open to reveal the small black building inside. We made our way into the hut and stepped into the huge, glass elevator that took up most of the room. The elevator had gold detailing around the corners, and even had a small bench inside.

  Kat hit the golden button to take us down, and the doors slid shut just as another howl rang out through the trees.

  “That’s fucking creepy,” Becka shuddered as the elevator shot down.

  “I hope my brothers are safe,” Hae-won murmured.

  “Of course, they are,” I said reassuringly. “No dino stands a chance against those guys, you know that.”

  “Especially with Kwan doing runs with them,” Kat added. “They’re untouchable, and they wouldn’t want you worrying.”

  “That is true,” Hae-won sighed. “But it is difficult not to, they always put others first.”

  “I know a guy like that,” Kat said as she winked at me. “Stubborn guys like that always land on their feet.”

  “Or in a sexy roll at the bottom of the temple steps,” Becka chuckled. “I saw that save at the wedding, by the way. Very James Bond.”

  “I try,” I snorted.

  The elevator stopped at the lobby, and as the doors slid open, we were hit with a wave of panicked voices. The space was filled with the newly arrived villagers, and the women who already lived in the base.

  The lobby was made of grey concrete, and decorated with benches, an ornate water feature, and even a stone dragon. The dragon’s long, curled tail ran along the wall which led to the men’s bedrooms, and it was detailed with
golden paintwork.

  Jee was in the middle of the group and had her hands up as she spoke calmly in Korean to the crowd.

  Then Tae and Sun-hee spotted us and rushed over as we hung back from the chaos.

  “Hey,” Sun-hee said. “Everyone is so afraid. Do you have any news?”

  “Or a plan?” Tae asked.

  “We do.” I nodded. “It’s not bulletproof, but it’s the best we’ve got.”

  “We must go to the proton weapon,” Adhara said. “It should allow us to get onboard of mothership.”

  “What?” Sun-hee hissed. “You’re going to France?”

  “We have to,” I said. “The fleet is going to be here in a few days. We’re running out of time, and it’s the best chance we have at stopping them before it’s too late.”

  The two brothers exchanged glances, and their usually cheery faces were pale and unsmiling.

  “This will work?” Tae asked. “Definitely?”

  “It has to,” I said.

  “We will come, too,” Tae decided. “You will need as many people as possible.”

  I considered it for a moment, and I knew that having the brothers along would add a significant amount of safety to the team. They were tough as nails, brave, and incredible with their weapons.

  But then I glanced over at the villagers and saw the panic on their faces as they argued with vigorous hand gestures. The people of the island needed the brothers more than we did, and I couldn’t let them risk their lives for me and this mission when there was so much good they could do at the base.

  “You should stay,” I sighed. “I know you guys would be amazing to have with us, but these people need you.”

  “Come on,” Sun-hee said as he shook his head. “This is about saving the world. This is the most important thing we could ever do.”

  “These people are why we’re trying to save it,” I replied. “The most important thing you can do is to look after them. You know what these forests are like, you’re skilled with your weapons, and you’re willing to do anything to save others. You’re meant for this job.”

  “He is right,” Hae-won said gently. “Appa needs you here. He cannot look after everyone on his own.”

  “But we can’t let you leave,” Tae said, and he grabbed his sister’s hand. “You are pregnant, and this is going to be so dangerous.”

  “I must,” Hae-won said. “We both have our duties, and mine is to be at Jason’s side.”

  “I will die before I let anything hurt her,” I told the man, and I meant every word.

  Tae nodded, and he hurriedly turned away to wipe his eyes. I pretended not to notice and put a hand on Sun-hee’s shoulder.

  “You look after that dad of yours,” I said. “He’s got his work cut out for him.”

  “I will,” Sun-hee agreed with only a hint of a smile. “When do you leave?”

  “Early,” I said. “We should go and get a few hours of rest. There is a shit-load of hard work ahead of us.”

  “Good night, then.” Sun-hee nodded as he stood a little taller. “We will see you very soon.”

  The youngest brother leaned over and kissed Hae-won’s head, and Tae did the same before the brothers hurried back toward the anxious crowd.

  “I can’t handle this much emotion in one day,” Becka sighed. “Going from the wedding to this has given me serious whiplash.”

  “We have a special room tonight,” Hae-won said. “My mother gave me the key card for the huge room for our wedding night.”

  “Aaand I am ready to pass out,” Kat half-yawned, half-groaned. “Which is not exactly what I figured we would be doing tonight.”

  “Need me to carry you?” I said with a smirk.

  “I’m not the bride here,” the soldier chuckled, and she strutted off.

  “Not yeeeeet,” Becka whisper-sang in my ear.

  I snickered while Hae-won led us down the men’s corridor, and we stopped at one of the first rooms on our right. The Korean beauty pulled a golden key card from her hanbok and swiped it over the pad beside the handle.

  I glanced back toward the lobby to see another group of villagers pile out of the elevator, and the noise quickly increased as more and more voices cried out.

  “Holy crap,” Kat said, and I turned back to the room as I stepped inside.

  The space was gorgeous, and the walls were a deep red with candle holders attached to them.

  All of our bags had been moved to the room, and our casual clothes had been washed and folded into neat piles on the oak drawers. There was a white, tiled bathroom attached to the room, and I glanced in to see a golden bathtub and white, fluffy towels waiting for us.

  I wondered briefly if the tub was actually made of solid gold, but something else drew my attention pretty quickly.

  There was a huge, four poster bed at the center of the opposite wall, and it had silver, silk sheets and was covered in rose petals.

  “Awww, that is so cute,” Becka whimpered. “Did your mum do that?”

  “Probably.” Hae-won nodded. “I am not sure I can imagine Appa sprinkling petals on my marriage bed.”

  “You never know.” I grinned. “I know Kwan’s got a soft side to him.”

  I closed the door and swung my sharp gun from my shoulder as Kat headed into the bathroom.

  “There are plants,” Adhara said as she pointed to the bed. “Why are there bits of plants in bed?”

  “Because it’s romantic, of course,” Becka scoffed. “Red roses?”

  The alien wrinkled her nose as she picked up one of the petals and studied it.

  “Dead plant on bed is romantic?” she asked.

  “Humans are weird like that.” I smiled. “But yeah, we like dead plants, I guess.”

  The girls took their makeup off in the bathroom mirror, and we started to pull all of our wedding clothes off.

  “Fuck, I’m shattered,” Kat said as she pulled her dress off to reveal her gorgeous curves. Her curly hair had fallen from her bun, and she wiggled her sculpted ass in my direction.

  “Are you sure?” I groaned. “I promise I could tire you out even more.”

  “If I let you do any of that, we’d spend the few hours we have left of the night fucking your brains out,” the soldier pointed out.

  “And we do need rest.” Hae-won smirked as she dropped her hanbok to the ground. Her panties were lacey black, and she swayed her hips as she strolled over to the bed.

  “You guys are cruel,” Becka laughed. “We need to rest, don’t tease Jason.”

  As she spoke, she slowly wiggled out of her wedding dress, and her incredible breasts were freed as she stood naked in the middle of the room.

  “You weren’t wearing anything under that?” I asked as all the blood rushed south from my head. “Holy fuck.”

  “Wedding night rain check, and I promise you, we’ll rock your fucking world for it.” The blonde blew me a kiss and then crawled into bed with the other girls. They snuggled up together and giggled as they brushed the rose petals off the sheets, and I sighed as I admired the view and silently cursed the incoming aliens.

  But I knew the girls were right. I’d fucking ravage them for hours with this much end-of-the-world energy in me, and I was actually just as exhausted as they were.

  “Hmm…” Adhara muttered, and I turned toward the bathroom. The beautiful alien was taking her time removing her makeup, and she looked suspiciously at the cotton pads every time she wiped her eyes.

  “You okay, Adhara?” Becka mumbled sleepily.

  “The shiny stuff goes away,” Adhara replied from the bathroom. “This is interesting.”

  I chuckled as I joined her to brush my teeth, and I splashed my face with cold water. I knew that I needed sleep, but seeing my gorgeous girls cuddled up naked made it hard to think straight, even if I knew it was the smart thing to do.

  They were clearly exhausted, too, because it was only a few moments before Becka’s soft snores rang out through the room. Kat and Hae-won’s breathing slowed d
own around the same time, and I glanced at the bed as my beautiful lovers drifted off into what I hoped was a restful night’s sleep.

  We were going to need it.

  “I do not have good feeling,” Adhara said quietly as she slowly wiped her lipstick off.

  “Why?” I asked. “You’re nervous about getting on board the mothership?”

  “I am worried about everything,” she murmured. “I want to save you and the others. I do not want anyone to be not alive.”

  “We’re going to be fine,” I said as confidently as I could. “We have each other, and that’s all the motivation I need to save the world.”

  The gorgeous alien smiled weakly and added more cleanser to her cotton pads like the other girls had done. Once Adhara had scrubbed her makeup off, she fiddled with the back of her green dress, and she scowled as she tugged at the zipper and muttered something in her own language.

  “Need a hand?” I asked, and she nodded.

  I slowly lowered the zipper on her emerald dress, and her soft, lilac skin was revealed without any bra. I couldn’t resist gently running my fingers down her spine, and she shivered lightly at my touch.

  Then Adhara dropped the dress to the ground and revealed some silver panties that barely covered her perfect ass.

  I swallowed hard at the sight, but when the beautiful alien glanced over her shoulder at me and fluttered her silver eyelashes, I knew I was fucked.

  “Do I look nice?” Adhara asked quietly. “Nice enough to do some mating with?”

  I immediately grabbed her waist and pulled her close so that her perfect ass was pressed against my groin, and I kissed her neck from behind.

  Then the lilac woman gave a soft moan, and all thoughts of saving the world left my mind.

  Chapter 3

  We stood in the bathroom, and as Adhara grinded her ass against my cock, I became rock-hard in seconds. Then I slid my hands around her and grabbed her breasts, and I gently pinched her nipples.

  The beautiful alien gasped at my touch, and she pushed harder against my erection as she giggled. When I kissed her neck, she made a low humming sound, but then I ran my teeth over her skin, and her whole body shivered against me.
