“I think I got it,” I whispered. I did not mean to whisper the words, but that is how they came out. I grabbed onto my seat and pulled myself away from him. I continued to walk along using the walls of the ship to help me stay balanced.
I found the area in the back of the ship. There were two small beds that were more like padded benches inside of a little nook. There was a counter with storage containers that were bolted to the wall. I was very thirsty and hungry. I had been on a hike, after all. It now seemed like days ago. I opened a container and found bottled water that was in clear round circles. It almost looked like they were in bubbles. It was very strange. I picked one up, and it was soft in my hands. I found the opening and unscrewed it and put it to my mouth and drank. It was the most delicious, clean, fresh, crisp water I had ever drank in my life. I was astounded by the taste of it, but it was in fact water.
“What do you think?” Cylo asked as he came up behind me.
I turned around startled. “It is delicious. Is this water?” I asked.
“Yes, it is. It is water from my planet of Kelon. It is very different from the water that you drink on Earth, is it not?” he asked.
“Yes. I am afraid that water on Earth is very dirty, full of chemicals and all kinds of crap. This, on the other hand, is absolutely delicious,” I said to him.
“Maybe water used to taste like this on your planet but does not any longer. Here, try some of this,” he said, handing me a strange looking pink fruit that reminded me of the fruit of a cactus.
“What is it?” I asked.
“It is called lita fruit. I think you will like it. It is very sweet and very filling,” he said.
“But I am human. What if I cannot eat the same things that you Draqua can eat?” I asked him.
“Do not worry. Many human females have eaten this fruit before you,” he said.
I looked at him confused and with shock. “Human females? But how? You said that Kelon did not have humans.”
“No, you misunderstood. We do not have native human females, but there are human females on the planet now. Slowly over the years, we have brought them there,” he said.
“What?! How many exactly?” I asked.
“It must be somewhere between 800 and 1,000 human females scattered across the planet. I do not know the exact number, but my brother does, and so does my father,” he said, getting annoyed and turning his back on me.
“Wait. What are you talking about? How did these females get there?“I asked.
“The same way you are. Over time,” he said.
“You mean that your race of Draqua has been stealing human females from Earth for years?! I shouted at him in rage.
“Don’t get mad at me. I am not the one that started it. I had no control over it. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go back to the front of the ship. We will be in my galaxy in a matter of an hour or so,” he said.
“An hour? But we only left Earth less than an hour ago,” I said following him to the front of the ship. I was startled by what I saw. Outside the windshield was no longer black; it was stripes zooming by us.
“I put the ship into hyperspeed. It gets us there faster,” he said, sitting back down in his chair and going to work. I was mesmerized by the sights zooming by us. It was very beautiful. But it was nothing compared to what I was about to see on the planet of Kelon.
“There it is. There is my home,” Cylo said as I sat next to him in the front of the ship. The planet was a blue and white marble from space. It reminded me of Earth, only there was more blue than Earth had.
“It is beautiful,” I said as we zoomed toward it. Soon we were entering the atmosphere, and white puffy clouds were like a wall in front of us. But then the clouds gave way to a blue sky.
“Unbelievable,” I said as I could see the white sand islands that Cylo had spoke of. They were sparkling white, like diamonds at this height, and the crystal-clear water looked like vast swimming pools. It took my breath away.
“I told you it was beautiful,” Cylo said with a smile.
“I did not think anything could be this beautiful,” I said as the ship flew lower and I got a better view. It reminded me of Tahiti, but Tahiti on steroids. It was prettier than any island paradise on Earth; Cylo had been right about that.
“What is all of that?” I asked as I noticed that there were different colored patches on the island that did not look like trees.
“Those are the roofs of our homes,” he said.
“So high up in the trees?” I asked.
“Yes, we can fly, remember?” he laughed.
“Oh, right,” I said realizing that I was truly on a strange trip. These were creatures that could fly and lived in the trees. As the ship lowered through the lush vegetation, I could see that it was practically a tropical jungle with massive trees. The tree trunks were the size of the house in thickness, and they shot straight into the air by hundreds of feet. Platforms were built off of these trees with several levels, and they were all connected by very long rope bridges, or very thick, sturdy bridges, depending on which area I looked at. It was a treehouse luxury village.
“You were right, Cylo: this is stunning. It is unlike anything I have ever seen. It is unlike anything I could ever see on Earth,” I said, admitting that the place was practically a fantasy. It looked so perfect that it looked fake.
“I told you so. Wait until you see inside and swim from the beaches,” he said.
When he said it, I realized that I was actually excited to do all of those things. Only hours before I was begging to be taken back to Earth and my life, but now that I was here I was eager to learn. I was eager to experience. I was eager to have an adventure unlike anything that I could ever expect to experience on Earth.
“We are here,” Cylo said as he looked at me. The engines of the ship turned off as we parked on a landing pad. It too was high in the trees. Cylo unbuckled his belt and stood up. I did the same, and he held his hand out to me. I took a deep breath and put my hand in his. I was very aware of how large his hand was compared to mine. It was burning with heat. I was also aware of how I suddenly felt warm all over. Having my hand in his felt good, it felt safe. I looked at him, and he smiled, and he led me to the door of the ship. The door opened and a rush of cool ocean breeze hit me. The air was so clean that as I took a breath, I almost started choking on it. It was something that my body was not used to. It felt good. I breathed deep and felt almost high on the air; it must be rich in oxygen, I thought.
“Are you ready?” he asked.
“Yes, I am ready,” I said.
He walked out of the ship, and I walked with him. We stood on the large platform, and it was then that I was able to get a good look around.
“Holy shit,” I said in complete amazement at what I saw. I looked up, and there were massive houses in all the trees surrounding us. It reminded me of a fairy village but built to house these large dragon people.
“You really live here?” I asked as I took a few steps forward.
“Yes. I’m glad you like it. I knew that you would,” he said as he grabbed my arm and moved me quicker. We got to the end of the landing pad. I stopped and jerked back.
“Well, I cannot step on that,” I said as I looked at the narrow bridge in front of us. It looked to be built solid but it was narrow and the drop down to the ground was 100 feet or more.
“What? Why?” he asked.
“Because I’m scared of heights,” I said.
He laughed a little and said, “But I found you standing on a cliff high above the ocean?”
“Yes, but that is different. My feet were on solid ground, not on a narrow rope bridge. It looks like a gust of wind would make me fly off,” I said taking more steps backward.
“It is solidly built. You have nothing to worry about. You must get used to the height. This is your new home,” he said.
I looked at him with wide eyes realizing exactly what he meant. He was never going to let me go back to Earth. This was permanent
for him. It wasn’t for me. I was going back to Earth at any cost.”
“No,” I said in response to him telling me that this was my permanent home. But I think you meant thought I meant that I was not going to go on the bridge. His sighed and then moved over to me and picked me up.
“What are you doing?” I asked as he threw me over his shoulder. “Don’t. Stop,” I said.
He walked on top of the rope bridge, and I could see down all the way to the ground while hanging over his shoulder. I started to get dizzy. I felt full of fear, and my body began to shake. “Don’t. Put me down,” I said.
“You want me to drop you here?” he teased me.
“No! Don’t!” I said, grabbing onto his strong waist. I did not want him to attempt to put me on my feet now because I would most definitely fall over in my dizzy state.
“Don’t worry. If you fall, I will be able to fly and catch you before you ever hit the ground,” he teased me again.
“Oh, that is reassuring,” I said annoyed.
The rope bridge gave way to another platform that wrapped around a massive tree. It was almost like a small sidewalk, but elevated in the trees. He did not bother to put me down. Instead, the sidewalk gave way to five different rope bridges all leading in different directions. He picked one that was on the outside of what looked to be a bustling village. From my strange vantage point of being over his shoulder, I could barely see more human-like beings that were just as tall as Cylo walking around in the trees doing their daily routine. It was an unusual but beautiful sight. I could not believe that I was here. I was really on another planet watching aliens do what they must in their daily life. Could this really be real?
“Here we are,” Cylo said as he put me down on my feet. We were on a platform, another that went around the massive tree, but this one was different. At the end of the sidewalk, there was a large hut with a thatched palm roof.
“Where are we?” I asked.
Cylo walked in front of me along the platform to the door of the hut. He opened it and stepped inside. I followed him.
“This is your home, for now,” he said.
“Wow,” I said as I stepped in. Inside it looked like photos from a magazine of a luxurious beach hut on a paradise island. The vaulted ceilings were high and the walls for a bright white concrete, probably created from the white sand below. The large windows gave a wonderful view of the massive trees and the crystal-clear water of the ocean beyond it. There were lush furnishings, including a long bench with a padded rectangular pillow. In the other corner was a large bed with mosquito netting in a creamy white color hanging from the ceiling over it.
As I walked further, I noticed a bathroom area with a large tub. It was absolutely perfect, and I could not believe that this was built onto the side of a tree.
“I leave you to your new home,“Cylo said as he walked back toward the door. I was astonished that he was not staying with me.
“Wait? Where are you going? Is this not your home?” I asked.
He laughed and said, “No, my home is a little bit larger than this.”
“So you are just going to leave me here? Am I a prisoner? This is my prison is in it, my prison cell?” I asked.
“Prisoner? No, you are not locked in. I will not even lock the door. This is an island; where would you run off to? Not to mention that you were scared of heights, so I doubt you will want to step on the bridge out there,” he said with a smirk.
“How long must I live in these rooms? I am to just stay here forever like a princess in a tower?” I asked crossing my arms in front of my chest.
“No, you will not stay in these rooms forever. Just until we are married,” he said as he walked out the door. I stood there completely frozen.
“What?!” was all that I could say. But I could not move my feet. I was in complete shock. I could not believe that he intended to marry me. Did he know? Did he know that I was the daughter of the President of the United States? Was that why he took me? Was that why he wanted to marry me? Were there ulterior motives here?
I finally got over the shock and sat on the bed. I laid back. I needed to come up with some sort of plan to get out of there. I was very tired after the crazy incident of being abducted from my own planet and taken to another one. It was a lot to take in. As I lay there trying to figure things out, I dozed off before I knew it. It was only when I heard a gentle voice saying, “Wake up, Sleeping Beauty,” that I finally opened my eyes.
There was a beautiful female with blonde hair hovering over me. At first, it startled me. I had forgotten where I was in my state of sleep. I sat up quickly.
“What? Who are you?” I asked.
“Oh, she is pretty,” another voice said. I look to see that another female was sitting on my bed, with black hair. It was then that I realized something.
“You are human. Both of you. Both of you are human,” I said feeling relieved.
They both giggled.” Of course we are, silly. Melody, we are very excited to have you join our little group,” the blonde said with a laugh. “My name is Sarah. This is my very close friend, Michelle.”
“We think that you are going to be a very close friend as well,” Michelle said as she let her fingers move up my leg, caressing my skin. It was very odd.
“Okay… can you guys tell me what the hell is going on here? You are the only humans I have seen since I arrived here,” I said, moving my legs off the bed and putting them on the floor. I stood up and walked over to the window, looking out at the view.
“Do not worry your little head, Melody. You are going to have lots of fun here. We have so much fun every day. It is better than any place on Earth, Cylo is lots of fun,” Michelle said.
“Yes, and he really likes you. We have been instructed to come here and help you get acquainted with your surroundings,” Sarah said.
“Yes, and to help you get ready for the feast tonight. It is a grand celebration. We should get you in the bath,” Michelle said as she moved over to the tub and began to run the water.
“And for the feast after the feast with us,” Sarah said, and Michelle laughed. They were obviously referring to something else, and I found it all very, very strange.
“You know, you look very familiar. Where are you from?” Michelle said as she poured decadent smelling oils into the tub.
“I live in Los Angeles,” I said, wondering if they knew who I was.
“Oh, I have never been there. You must just have one of those faces,” Michelle said. “I am from Florida. That was where I was taken. I was out on a kayak by myself when I was taken. I did love Florida, but I will tell you, the beauty here is much better, and that is saying a lot when you live in the Florida Keys: one of the most beautiful places on Earth.”
“And I was taken from Wyoming. Winters there were very harsh, and I had always been surrounded by snow. I am more than happy to be here. I hardly have to wear any clothes when on Earth I had to wear several layers,” Sarah said.
“I can see that,” I mumbled under my breath as I looked at the way they were both dressed. They were both wearing sheer muslin dresses with embroidered cloth over their breasts like a tube top, and embroidered G-string cloth as underwear.
“Get in; the water is very hot. It will feel very good on your skin. It will relax you,” Michelle said as she moved her hand in the water inside the tub. I could see the steam rising from it, and it did look very inviting. I just wasn’t used to taking a bath in front of people.
“Yes, I will wash your hair,” Sarah said as she moved to the side of the tub and kneeled next to it.
“I think she is shy,” Michelle said to Sarah. She stood up and walked over to me and grabbed the bottom of my shirt and pulled it up over my head. “Don’t worry. Just think of it as a spa day.” I allowed her to take off my shirt, then the rest of my clothes. Before I knew it, I was standing completely naked in front of these two women. They both looked at each other and smiled. “You are very beautiful, Melody,” Sarah said. “Now come. Get in
to the warm water.”
I walked over to the tub and climbed in. The hot water was relaxing almost immediately. I had to admit that it was nice to just let myself sink in while Michelle took a natural sea sponge and washed my limbs as Sarah washed my hair. It was like a spa day. I felt relaxed instantly with the delicious smells of the exotic oils. Sarah took a large pitcher and filled it with the warm water and tilted my head back to rinse my hair. Michelle moved the sponge over my knee. I was so relaxed and put all of my weight go against the tub. I closed my eyes and listened to the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach. It was like a spa day.
But it was then that I noticed Michelle moving the sponge on the inside of my thigh. I thought nothing of it. She was just washing my body until she continued to go higher and higher and before I knew it, the sponge was no longer in her hand. Her fingers for pressed firmly against my center. I let out a gasp.
“It’s all right. Just relax; it is just like getting a massage,” Michelle whispered as her fingers began to move back and forth over my clitoris. I was turned on instantly. I could not stop if I’d wanted to. I was too far gone within a flash of a second. To my surprise, I allowed my knees to fall and opened my thighs wider.
“That’s it. Just relax,” Sarah said as she grabbed the sponge and began to wash my breasts slowly and seductively.
A moan escaped my mouth, to my surprise and embarrassment. Michelle kept moving her fingers; she knew exactly how to press and use just the right amount of pressure. Before I knew it, I was in a state of release. I restrained my moans, embarrassed hat I was doing such a thing with these two strangers. I had never fooled around with women before; this was a first. The sensations went through me, and I felt my entire body feel the exquisite and delicious release. There was something very naughty about doing this with these two females. It felt like I had my own harem, and I was on an alien planet to top it off.
“There you go. You needed to release some stress. Arriving here on the strange planet can be very stressful,” Michelle said as she pulled her hand from my center and from the tub. I sank low into the water, feeling shy and nervous. Sarah stood up and grabbed a large cloth and held it out like a towel. I stood up and climbed out of the tub. I walk to her, and she wrapped the cloth around my shoulders. I pulled it tight around my body just like I would a towel.
