About Captive Bound
An MMF Menage Short Erotic Romance
Had somebody told me, FBI profiler Gia Caruso, that I’d be spending my fifth wedding anniversary hurtling through the ether in an alien spacecraft, I would have literally laughed in their face and told them to have another drink…
Oh wait.
She did tell me, and I did laugh in her face. In retrospect, I wish I had believed her.
And when a swoony purple alien walks into the cell me and my husband are being kept in, and he makes goo-goo eyes at my husband and not me, I quickly learn the other truth Momma always taught me—that there are secrets in every marriage. Only mine are of the alien variety.
Being captive and bound to my alien husband after learning my father is an alien king from another planet can only end one way…
Hot and dangerous.
Gia
My mother always told me that karma was an evil asshole. That’s one ironic twist I won’t argue with today.
Momma always was a little bit crazy, but I wish I had believed her when she warned me not to marry Kai. And when she told me on my wedding night that someday I’d find myself hurtling through the ether in an alien spacecraft, I literally laughed in her face and told her to have another drink.
Science was my god. Since earning my PhD in forensic psychology, I never believed in things that went bump in the night. By 30, I’d spent five years working as a criminal profiler until one crazy case had me running for my life. That’s the night I met Kai—the night my entire life changed.
Before that, I still thought the evil in the world weren’t little green men, just humans capable of unspeakable horrors. After meeting Kai, I began working for the government. I was a profiler, and we worked together to catch some of the most dangerous criminals in the world.
Yet while I sat there on my fifth wedding anniversary, bound to my husband, held captive after having been abducted by ET, in retrospect, I wish I had believed my mom. I can’t tell you what I was tied up with because there wasn’t anything I could see, although I could certainly feel the invisible chains wrapped tightly around us both.
It had to have been hours, almost a day, that we’d been in this cell. This tall, bulky purple alien thing with strange, scaly skin had been in and out, checking on us. He almost seemed … kind. He’d even left food for me. Human food.
Not long after I finally woke, I’d found him sitting in a corner outside this cell, staring at us. It lasted for hours. He just stared in silence, mostly at Kai.
I tried asking him questions, but when I made to speak, no words came out. I figured he must have gagged me using some type of weird alien tech. He wasn’t the one that abducted us, but since waking in this cell, he was the only one I’d seen.
After some time had gone by, I wasn’t really afraid of him.
Looking back, I really wish I would’ve believed my mother. Fucking karma. I shook my head. Guess that’s what I get for not believing in her tales of little green men.
Only these men were far from little, and they didn’t look anything like ET.
Wide awake and tired of talking to myself in my own head, I finally wriggled loose a little, managing to pull my elbow back enough to jab him in the back.
“Kai, wake the hell up.”
He’d been sleeping so soundly. For hours. Why the hell wasn’t I?
It was cold, damp, and dark although I could still see around the strange room. My body ached from the dry heaves I’d been having from motion sickness. Thankfully, I hadn’t thrown up. That would have been disgusting.
Taking slow, cleansing breaths, I tried to get my stomach to settle through this shitty ride, a part of me still hoping that this wasn’t really happening.
Loud noises stirred outside the metal door of the cell then, scaring me for the first time. My heart started racing, and my head was spinning as much as my stomach now, wondering what could happen.
Kai and I had gotten out of a lot of situations, but when even he couldn’t fight off the purple monsters that captured us in Central Park, of all places, I knew we were screwed.
The last thing he said to me before being knocked unconscious was, “I’m sorry.”
Looking back, I still wish I knew what he was sorry for. He couldn’t have stopped this, even with his inhuman strength and super good looks.
What did these things want with me? With us?
All the abductions stories I’d ever heard were mostly about women. Like, they wanted to repopulate their alien planets. Let’s say they really were aliens, then what did they want with Kai?
Thinking back to what I knew about aliens, I didn’t have a clue.
And trust me, I’d seen all the alien movies and shows ever made. Kai had a thing for them. Almost an obsession now that I thought about it. The longer I sat there, I began to reel through our time together and recognized his obsession with alien pop culture. Any conspiracy theories about them landing on earth or abducting people were of high interest to him. I always thought it was cute. Now I wondered if there was something more to it than I had known.
I’m fucking profiler. How did I not see it before?
And what did Momma’s warning mean? Now I was wondering if I was in this situation because of me or Kai?
All the possibilities raced through my mind. I needed answers, only Kai was sleeping and wouldn’t wake up.
“Kai. Goddammit, wake up!”
Finally, he stirred.
“Holy shit. Gia, are you okay?”
“Seriously?” I scoffed.
“I’m so sorry. I fucked up, I’m so sorry.”
“What do you mean, you fucked up?”
Kai sat there silent for a few minutes before finally speaking. “I should have told you. We should have hidden better.”
“Hidden from who?”
His body was trembling. “I am…”
A moment later, the sliding metal doors opened, the same very large, very interesting looking thing came in. Although my mind knew it was an alien, other than its strange yet beautiful skin, it looked … human?
Its face was shaped perfectly symmetrical. Wider eyes than ours. Nose, chin and mouth similar.
“How are you feeling, your majesty?” Its voice was low and gravelly. Almost … sexy.
“Are you speaking to me?” I finally asked, my gaze narrowed. Surprisingly, he let me speak this time.
Before glancing behind me at Kai, it crouched down in front of me and stared into my eyes; its gaze was curious yet looked kind. Concerned, even.
“I am Commander Dhior. I apologize for these conditions. Thoruk’s future queen should not have been treated so bitterly.”
“Excuse me?” I narrowed my gaze. “What do you mean, queen?”
“I am appalled you did not tell her, captain,” the alien said, pretty sure it wasn’t speaking to me that time.
“Tell who what?”
“I apologize for the captain’s behavior. It has been, how do you say, unacceptable? I assure you, your majesty, he will be punished accordingly.” At that, his expression faltered. He seemed sad by his own declaration.
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“Kai was supposed to secure you as our queen. Not take you as his mate. I assure you, your majesty, he will serve time for his transgressions.”
At that point, I thought my brain was about to blow up.
The invisible chains loosened, and not a second too soon, because the moment I felt them release from around me, my stomach relieved itself of the four-course meal we had hours earlier.
Surprisingly, the alien creature stood behind me and pulled back my hair, keeping it from becoming a vomit-laced mess.
The moment I felt a bit better, I pull
ed free from the alien’s grasp and almost fell against a freezing cold wall.
“What the hell is happening?” My fingers gripped my temples and I closed my eyes, trying to catch my breath.
A moment later, Kai stood up with a look of horror on his face. His eyes fell to the floor, and that’s when I noticed his skin looked … like the other alien’s. Still human features, but not his skin.
“Kai?”
“I am Captain Kaiuk Dassai of the Thoruk Legion.” He bowed. “My mission was clear. I was sent to earth to find you. Not to marry you, and certainly not to fall in love. I am sorry, and I will accept whatever punishment you see fit.”
Kai’s eyes fell to the floor, refusing to look at me.
“None of this makes any sense,” I said, my gaze darting between Kai and Dhior. The more I stared at them, the more they looked alike. Similar features and skin, but different. “Where are we going?”
Dhior looked down at me as he paced closer. “Home.”
Seeing Dhior standing beside Kai, I was certain now it was a he. Although why I cared about correctly identifying alien genders, I had no clue.
“Oh, no. My home is Earth.”
“Actually, it’s not,” Kai said hesitantly.
“What the hell are you talking about?” With that, I stood up straight and pushed my shoulders out.
“You remember that conversation you had with your mother on our wedding night?”
My eyes grew wide. “Yes. Vividly. Now more than ever.”
“What she left out was the part about your father being from Thoruk.”
“I don’t understand. What the hell is Thor … oook?”
“You have never met your father, have you?” The faintest appearance of wrinkles crossed between Dhior’s hypnotic eyes. Eyes that looked like a cat’s.
So telling. Mesmerizing. And beautiful.
Staring up at Dhior, I could hardly concentrate on what he’d just said.
“Have you?”
“Have I what?”
“Met your father?”
I cleared my throat. “No.”
“Did you ever ask your mom why?” Kai asked.
“My mother said he left her.”
“Drakkaras was not of Earth but born of Thoruk. In his travels throughout many galaxies, he searched for a mate who could reproduce. In all his travels, Gia, you are his only living heir. He has begun his death cycle and has called you home in hopes that you will take on the role as our queen.”
Unable to stop myself, I erupted in an intense laughter before stopping when neither of them joined me.
“This is a pathetic excuse for an anniversary gift, Kai.” I looked up at Dhior then. Stepping around the vomit on the floor, I walked up to him and tentatively reached out to touch his skin.
It felt … familiar.
“Bullshit. I don’t believe you.” I stepped back, crossing my arms over my chest, in complete denial. “This is crazy.”
This couldn’t really be happening. Could it?
If it was, then I knew I had officially lost it. Turned crazy, like my mother.
For years, she’d blabbered on about aliens. How they looked just like us. How they were everywhere. How even Kai, the man that I loved, was an alien. And even when he became obsessed with them, I still didn’t think anything of it.
I didn’t believe her, and the more she talked about it, the less I believed. I even considered committing her at one point.
Now I didn’t know what to believe.
Aliens were things from the movies Kai liked to watch. Like vampires and zombies, they weren’t real. They couldn’t be real. This couldn’t be real. And I couldn’t be part alien, I look human. I feel ...
Then things started to make sense.
My entire life, I’d always felt … off. Something was never quite right. Health, mind, beliefs. Everything.
“It’s true, Gia.” Kai stood in front of me, wanting desperately to hold me, but knowing that would be a very bad idea right now.
“So, our whole marriage has been a lie?” I stared into his eyes which suddenly began to look very different from how I remembered them.
“It’s because we’re off planet. On Earth, we look human. Like the others, but here, we don’t,” he said. “You don’t.”
I narrowed my eyes. “What do you mean, I don’t look like the others? What do I look like?”
He held out his hand to me, begging me to take it, but I refused. Feeling betrayed, I kept my arms crossed over my chest.
“I am so sorry, Gia. Dhior is right, you deserved better than this.” His head dropped as he fell to his knees in front of me.
“What are you doing?” I asked him. “Get up.”
“He cannot. By Thoruken code, not until you decide what to do with him.”
“What does that even mean?”
“It means as our queen, it is your choice,” Dhior said.
“What is?”
“If he lives or dies.”
I looked down at my husband, kneeling in front of me. This whole thing was just wrong. All of it.
“I’m not doing this.” I started moving about the cell, running my hands along the cold metal walls, feeling for some sort of door or window, or something. Anything to get me out of there before I lost it. “I have to get out of here.”
My breathing intensified, and I found myself hyperventilating.
Having found the sliding doors, I felt around for some sort of latch or anything that would open the thing. I was convinced this whole thing was a joke or a lie or just a really bad dream.
Nothing.
With clenched fists, I started banging on what were the doors a few minutes ago. The sound echoed through the chamber we were in, and suddenly, the doors slid open. There was a long corridor in front of me that seemed to never end.
I didn’t care where it led, all I knew was I needed to get out of there. If I didn’t, I was going to lose my shit. And let’s face it, I’d already lost my dinner, and that already wasn’t a pretty sight.
Without a second thought, I sprinted down the dark corridor, Dhior and Kai following behind me. It seemed to never end … until it did, and I ran into a glass partition.
The last thing I remember was seeing nothing but the ether surrounding me before the world went dark.
Kai
“I am so angry with you,” Dhior told me as I scooped Gia’s limp body up of the floor of the space craft. “What were you thinking?”
Clearly, I was thinking of my wife. The woman I was never meant to fall in love with.
They don’t warn you of such things at the legion academy.
I was specifically chosen for this mission because I was “the job,” as they said on Earth. Because I didn’t let such petty things as emotion cloud my judgement.
Until I met Gia Caruso.
That’s when everything changed. All my training, all my resolve faded like the wind. She was the most beautiful combination of Earth and Thoruk. Her eyes were wide, like the humans, and her female body was of Earth. Her breasts and her curves resembled humans. Her skin was so soft.
Everything about Gia was perfection. I couldn’t help but fall in love with her.
“How could you do this to me?” Dhior said, trying to take Gia from my arms, though I refused to set her free. “I admit, she is beautiful. But she is your queen. And you were already spoken for. Do you have any idea what you’ve put me through?”
“I am sorry, Dhior. I never expected to fall in love with our queen. Or a woman.”
“Yes, well. You will pay, I promise you that. The king is livid. Even in his deteriorated state, he’s out for blood—your blood—and as soon as this ship lands, I promise you, the last thing you will see is your queen releasing the lever of the guillotine.”
“You don’t understand,” I said as my body slid down the wall, and I sat on the floor, holding Gia tightly in my arms.
“No, you don’t understand. This is a death sentence for you, darling. I’m afraid
I won’t be able to get you out of this one.”
“I had five glorious human years with Gia. It’s more than I ever expected to have, and I don’t regret a thing.” I looked up into my lover’s eyes; eyes I hadn’t seen in a very long time. “Except for one.”
I reached up and ran my fingers along his chin.
“Did I not mean anything to you?” he asked.
“Of course, you do. I never expected to fall for her, Dhior. Not like this. She is so … enigmatic. Breathtaking. Addictive.”
“Of all people, I never expected you, the man with a heart of stone, to fall in love with an alien.”
“Hybrid,” I corrected him. “She is part Thoruk.”
Dhior sank to his knees beside me. He reached out then, laying his palm on my cheek. If I did not know any better, I would think I saw a tear rolling down his cheek.
“I cannot lose you, my darling. I sacrificed our love for the betterment of our world, but now when they find out what you have done, there is no way he will ever let you live.”
“I am so sorry.”
Holding Gia as she slept, I stared into her face. Her hair was long and flowing, a very dark brown with just a hint of red. Her curls wrapped around her shoulders, around her long neck. Her face was so human. Large doe eyes, small nose. And freckles. Gia was tall for a human, which she got from her Thoruken roots. Also, her build, which was sturdy and strong.
Everything about her was so perfect.
I would miss her when I am sentenced, which Dhior is probably right, I am looking at facing a firing squad for my transgressions.
“Who knows?” I looked up at him. “Who else knows what I have done?”
“Everyone on board this ship. The hunters who seized you. I barely managed to get on board myself.”
“How many?” I asked, begging him to give me some good news.
“Six.”
“Anybody I care for?” I asked, eyes wide.
