Alien Prince’s Son

by Anna Lewis

  “So how have you been?” He asked her, grinning brightly. “It’s weird being back from Hawaii, huh?”

  “Yeah… really weird…” she trailed off, unable to keep up any pretense of a normal conversation.

  “What’s going on?” Rex asked, seeing right through any façade. “Are you okay?” The concern across his face was really upsetting, especially as she knew that it was only going to get worse.

  “I… I have something to tell you,” she said. Almost right away he sat up straighter, expecting the worst. “Before I came to Hawaii, there was this guy. I… I liked him, and I thought he did too, but he rejected me. And that hurt. That was why it took me a while to get close to you.”

  “Okay…” he drawled, a little confused. He clearly didn’t understand why she was telling him this.

  “But the closer I got to you, the more I liked you. And I still do, so much.” The anxiety was coursing so painfully through her that she could feel herself on the verge of having a panic attack.

  “But…?” he asked, sensing that he wasn’t going to like where this was going next.

  “But then he met me at the airport, and he asked me to be with him, and I’m sorry to say that I slept with him. And now…”

  “You had sex with him?” Rex hissed. “I’ve spent all week missing you like crazy, and you’ve been screwing someone else?”

  “It isn’t like that…” she tried, but it was too late. He was already giving her an awful look, hating her almost as much as she hated herself.

  “I just… I cannot believe you. I thought that you were different.” He shook his head at her, displaying how badly this was affecting him. “I cannot believe that you’re the same as everyone else. I thought…” he looked at her with tears in his eyes. “I thought you were better.”

  She had nothing to say to that – she was dumbstruck. She thought that she was a better person too, and to learn that she wasn’t was a bitter pill.

  Her silence seemed to say it all because he stood up, scraping his chair noisily along the ground and storming out – leaving her behind, devastated with only her now cold coffee for company.

  Abbie spent the entire night crying on and off, feeling utterly heartbroken at the mess she’d created. She’d lost Rex forever in the worst way possible, and she knew that she only had one person to blame – herself. He was such a lovely man, and he really deserved so much better. She knew for a fact that if she hadn’t met Travis, she would have been able to be the girlfriend that he deserved – and that sucked.

  Timing was everything, and with this situation, everything about it was all wrong.

  If she’d lied, and said that the media aspect was too much and that she wouldn’t have been able to handle the constant intrusion, they could have still been friends. But now, she doubted that he would ever talk to her again, and for that she couldn’t blame him. She knew that she would feel the same if he’d done the same to her.

  As the morning came around, she heard someone hammering on the door. She blearily got up, not understanding why her parents hadn’t answered the door, but it only took one quick glance into their bedroom to learn that they weren’t at home.

  They had never been a particularly close family, but it was still a little unnerving not to know where they even were.

  Knock, knock.

  Knock, knock.

  “Coming,” she eventually called out, not wanting to see whoever it was.

  However, when she swung the door open, and she saw his warm face, she felt glad that it had been her to greet him.

  “Rex?” she gasped in shock, her heart racing as she tried to figure out why he was visiting her at her home. It seemed totally bizarre after the way they’d left things yesterday. “What are you doing here?”

  “I came to say I’m sorry,” he told her sadly, looking only at his shoes. “I reacted so badly, without giving you the chance to explain, and I feel awful about that.”

  “No,” she insisted, wanting desperately to grab him and hold him close – how the hell was he being so understanding? She didn’t even know what to think about that! “This is my fault, not yours. I know what I did was wrong.”

  “Look, let’s just forget it okay?” He stared back into her eyes, a deep sincerity there. “Neither of us were committed to one another, and what you did really doesn’t have to stand in the way of something that has the potential to be really great. Sure, it’s a little weird, but I’m honestly so into you that I’m willing to give it a go.”

  “You are?” she asked, stunned and feeling a little nervous. She couldn’t believe how seemingly easy and honest he was with his emotions. She wished that she was the same. “Alright.” If he was actually willing to forgive her, then surely she shouldn’t push that to one side just because she felt guilty?

  “So let me take you out on a date tonight,” he pleaded with her. “Let’s start afresh and really give this thing a go.”

  She didn’t know what to say… but right now, he was here, and she wanted him.

  “Okay,” she nodded, feeling incredibly guilty. “That would be lovely thank you.”

  She thought of Travis, it was a distant thought. Her heart hungered for Rex. Even as he turned to go, she couldn’t stop thinking about him.

  She mulled it over in her mind. Maybe if I see this date as just ‘giving us a chance’ then it won’t be so bad? I spent time with Travis and gave him a shot, so surely this is only fair, too?

  But she couldn’t even make herself believe that. She was perfectly aware that all she was doing was digging herself an even bigger pit, but no matter what she couldn’t see how to stop.

  ***

  Abbie’s bad feeling didn’t subside until she and Rex were in a club together, having a few drinks and really loosening up. It felt so good to be back by this man’s side – he really did warm her up. Sitting there with him, she wasn’t sure how she could possibly choose Travis over him. Their time in Hawaii had been truly amazing, and now that they were back together it was as if they hadn’t ever been apart, for even a second.

  Argh, why did she have to like both guys so damn much? Why did it have to be so difficult? How did someone who used to lead such a boring life end up in this mess?

  “Abbie?”

  The voice came from behind her. Startled, she spun around to see Travis there, staring down at her.

  “How are you?” he said.

  Thump, thump.

  Thump, thump.

  Thump, thump.

  Her heart went wild, pounding so loud that she couldn’t hear anything else. Her worst nightmare had come true. Travis and Rex were in the same room – both kind of aware of the other one – and she was stuck in the middle. If things were going to go wrong, and she was going to lose both men, it would be now.

  “Oh I… erm…” her face flamed as she flickered her eyes between both men. This was the worst thing that could have ever happened, and she didn’t know what to do with herself. Her blood had run cold and her body almost shut down completely as the anxiety threatened to consume it. “H… hi…”

  This was it – her punishment for screwing around with two men. She was finally getting her comeuppance.

  “So, Rex huh?” he asked her with a knowing look in his eye. “Rex is the one from Hawaii.”

  Of course he knew Rex well – he was the one who had organized the job for her. How could she have forgotten such an important detail?

  “Wait,” Rex jumped in suddenly, not giving her a chance to answer Travis’s question. “The other guy you’ve been with is Travis? Travis Bunney?”

  Tears welled in her eyes. She nodded quickly, wanting to get this over with as quickly as possible. She expected an onslaught from both men. She expected them both to tell her exactly what they thought of her. But instead there seemed to be a weird competitive air instead, and no one called her out on anything.

  “So, are you on a date?” Travis asked, but he was no longer talking to Abbie. In fact, he wasn
’t even looking at her, but he had puffed his chest out in a display of dominance.

  “Yes,” Rex snapped back. “We are actually, so if you wouldn’t mind leaving…”

  For a second, she feared that there might be some sort of fight, but instead Travis plastered a serene smile on his face. “No, no I would like to buy the love birds a drink instead.”

  He spun around and spoke to the bar tender. Abbie tugged on Rex’s arm, wanting to say something to him, but he didn’t react to her at all – focusing only on the man that he now knew was his competition.

  As they all sipped their champagne in a stilted silence, Abbie could feel the tension rising. The men were oozing testosterone around her, and it was sending her a little wild. The thought of them fighting over her was almost too much.

  Even though she knew that it was very wrong to feel that way, Abbie couldn’t help but find it quite exciting that she was the prize – after spending years blending into the background, basically being ignored, being the center of focus for these two men was maddeningly erotic.

  “Would you like to dance?” Rex tried, pulling her towards the dance floor, but Travis wasn’t done yet. Even though he didn’t have an invite, and it was clearly a way to get rid of him, he joined them on the dance floor, where they all started to awkwardly move in time with the music.

  Now that the competition had been taken to the dance floor, it seemed to step up to another level. Abbie was just about overwhelmed with it all. The men seemed to compete to spend as much time brushing against her as possible, and Abbie quickly became consumed by the crazy, heightened sensations all over her body. She couldn’t help but think about what it was like to be with both of these men – how different they both were – and it sent intense bolts of lust all the way down to her panties.

  Eventually, the guys seemed to forget that they were in public and the kicked things up a notch. Rex’s mouth ran all over her neck, and not to be outdone, Travis started to trail his hands up her thigh.

  “Stop,” she gasped, trying to pull away, to put a halt to this before it got out of control. But she quickly found out that she couldn’t resist the both of them together any more than she could when they were alone.

  Whatever she’d been expecting when she spotted both men together in the club, this wasn’t it! It wasn’t good though, it could only end in tears, and she really didn’t want that either.

  Stop it Abbie, she told herself. Stop acting so nuts. But it was no use. She was powerless between these two, and she continued on regardless.

  ***

  “Come on,” whispered Travis into Abbie’s ear. “Let’s get out of here.”

  A part of her was undeniably tempted to just go with him and let him have his way with her, because she was so damn turned on. But she couldn’t bail on a date like that. She knew that she’d acted out of character recently, but to abandon was something else. Plus she like Rex a lot, and she didn’t want to leave him behind. She didn’t want to cut him from her life completely – not for anyone.

  “No.” She squirmed away from him, forcing herself to push him away. “I can’t leave Rex – I don’t want to.”

  “Oh don’t worry,” he shot her a playful wink. “He can come too.”

  “I agree,” Rex said coldly, almost making the decision for Abbie. “Let’s go. We can go back to my place; it isn’t too far from here. Carry on the… er, party there.”

  Abbie glanced from man to man, wondering what the hell they were intending to do. There was no way that they could be serious… could they? Maybe she should put a stop to this now and tell them both that she was going home alone. That was the smart thing to do, the right thing, but watching them in their bizarre standoff, the right words just wouldn’t come.

  Both men wanted control, they wanted to be the alpha in this situation, and she was surprised to learn that she loved that. She was being swept along against her better judgment, and soon enough she found herself nodding, agreeing with their crazy plan. If they’d wanted her to choose between them there and then, it backfired because she’d done the unexpected.

  ***

  The cab ride over to Rex’s house was one filled with sexual tension – like nothing Abbie had ever experienced before, and she became afraid. This was going to be the moment she was forced to choose, and she had no idea which way to turn. She just wasn’t ready for it yet.

  Even more so with the rolls of sexuality falling from the pair of them, consuming her in the middle seat.

  She wondered if she should talk, to say something to try and break the mood before it became too much for her, but she quickly realized that she couldn’t find the words, so she remained sitting in silence instead.

  “Woah,” she gasped in shock, as she saw Rex’s amazing home. Travis lived in a mansion, but what Rex had was on another level. It was almost an entire estate, and it made her eyes widen in shock. “This is… this is where you live?”

  “Yep,” he said with some of the warmth that she loved so much. “Home sweet home. Wait until you see the inside.”

  As he took them both on the tour of his house, Abbie almost forgot the reason that they were there. She started chatting excitedly, discussing each room in turn, and she wasn’t silenced until they’d seen every part of the house.

  Then it all came crashing back, painfully and shockingly.

  “I… I erm…” began Abbie. She tried to say something about what was going to happen, but she couldn’t find the words. “I… I don’t know what to say,” she eventually laughed, wishing that she wasn’t so foolish. “This is all a little…”

  “I’m not asking you to choose,” Travis growled in a husky voice. “Not tonight anyway.”

  Abbie gave him a confused look, wondering what the hell he was on about, but before she could ask, Rex seemed to agree with his sentiment.

  “No, I don’t want you to choose either. Not like this. Not right now.”

  “What are you… saying..?” She trailed off as she saw the desire coursing through both of them.

  Her heart pounded painfully and her mouth ran dry with desire. She shouldn’t be turned on by something as crazy as a threesome. She knew that it was the most insane thing ever, but she had been having such a good time learning new things about herself… maybe this was just another experience that she was meant to have – one that she was sure she would regret if she didn’t.

  Both men wanted her, that much was obvious, and they wanted her together, at the same time. She gulped down all of her emotions, and nodded coyly, wondering where this night was going to take her.

  “Okay,” she whispered lightly, equally scared and thrilled. “Let’s do this.”

  ***

  As soon as she’d given her consent, Travis took control of the situation and he stepped forward to kiss her. He took her into his arms and brought his mouth to hers with more passion than she’d ever felt from him before. Abbie could sense that Rex was watching, which made her feel a little odd – especially as she’d been on a date with him only a few hours before – but it was strangely exhilarating too.

  She felt self-conscious with another man’s eyes upon her, but Travis had her so turned on with the domineering way that he was claiming her, it made it challenging for her to even think about anything else.

  Abbie started to tangle her fingers up in Travis’s hair while he brought her in closer to him, allowing her a good feel of his sculpted abs.

  “Oh God,” she groaned into his mouth as heat coursed through her veins. “You feel amazing.”

  Just as she was about to lose herself in Travis completely, she got the shock of her life as Rex pressed up against her back. She’d almost forgotten that he was there, so the stark reminder made her jump. As he ran his tongue up her neck and his hands found her thighs, she couldn’t believe that her mind had ever wandered from Rex – he was amazing and he really made her feel phenomenal.

  As the men kissed all over Abbie’s body, exploring her with their hands, she lolled her head to
one side in pleasure. This was the sexiest damn thing that she’d ever experienced. She’d never felt so much pleasure.

  Rex slid the material of Abbie’s dress up over her head, and the silky, cool material sent even more desire racing through her body. When both men caught sight of her deep purple lacy underwear their moans of appreciation made Abbie feel more confident than ever before. She had to keep her body taut for her dancing career, so she worked hard at it, but it was a really nice confidence boost all the same. It made her feel special to have these two very sexy men wanting her, liking her, craving her. It made her feel like a sexy goddess who could do anything.

  “You’re beautiful,” Rex gasped, returning his lips to her neck.

  “So fucking sexy,” Travis agreed, steeping back to look at me. His eyes travelled up and down her body suggestively, as Rex continued to work her, sending her wild.

  He continued to stare as Rex unhooked her bra, allowing it to tumble to the ground, but moved backwards almost instantly, as if he couldn’t bear to leave her nipples untouched. He teased and tugged at them with her fingers, before sliding down and claiming her breasts with his mouth. She arched her back against Rex and slumped against him. As she collapsed into him, he began slowly and tantalizingly moving his fingers up towards her panties.

  “Oh fuck,” she cried out as he teased her, rubbing her clit through the lace until she almost couldn’t take it anymore. “Oh my God.” The fact that she was with two men no longer seemed strange. In fact, it was absolutely perfect and she couldn’t believe that she had never had this experience before.

  “Come on,” Rex insisted. “Let’s take this up to the bedroom before Abbie falls to the ground.”

  At first when both men pulled away, Abbie was upset. Being left cold and vulnerable at such a moment was a little hard to deal with, but as they walked up the stairs in a weird, lust-filled silence, she found herself grateful for the moment to think. She needed to really think about it, to make a sensible decision because the last thing that she wanted was for this night to turn out to be something that she regretted.
