Alien Romance Box Set: Alien Former: Sci-Fi Alien Romance (Books 1-5)

“And the woman your father left behind? What about her?” she asked.

  “Not sure. He certainly never talks about her. That whole thing made me want to learn how to provide for myself and I have. I built my own home, but my brother’s stayed with my parents some kilometers away from where you and I will live.”

  The ride went on and they got quiet. Emerald took in the scenes as they rode past them all. To one side of the trail, they rode along there was a field of blue wheat. Somewhere near there must have been a small abode where the farmer lived who raised the crop.

  The other side of the narrow trail was left alone. A bordering field which was to remain vacant. Though after looking hard, she saw evidence of small campsites where people who were venturing into the forbidden cities would spend their last night before they made it out of the settlement area they were supposed to remain in.

  “Tell me, Caleb, do you yearn like so many to go to the cities of Euthenia?”

  He shook his head. “I have no want to go anywhere out of our borders. I have a few brothers who do wish to push their limits here. They constantly try to bring me around to their rebel cause. A thing I have no interest in.”

  “That’s a shame. Why does our kind have to always grasp for more than we’re given?” she asked him as well as herself.

  Emerald also had no want to take any more than she’d been given. She’d overheard her father many times though speak of storming the capitol and taking the castle.

  “Have you heard any of the talk which has been happening here of late, Emerald?”

  Her arms went around him as she rested her head again. “My father has said a battle is imminent. He and some of his friends held meetings in our shack. I’ve seen weapons in the rafters of the attic in the shack. I cannot tell you how happy I am you came for me. I want no part of any rebellion. And I’m glad to hear you don’t either.”

  A large, dark, red forest appeared. The smell of mineral laden soil wafted in the air.

  “Are we getting close?”

  “Yes, we’ll go through the forest for a while, and then on the other side is our home.”

  A new home was about to be hers and Emerald found her stomach knotting in anticipation and a shiver ran through her as she looked at the edge of the red forest.

  One of the two suns was eclipsing at the top of the tree line. Her heart pounded as she’d dreamt the same sight only just the night before. Her voice quivered as she said, “Caleb, look at the sun. What’s happening to it? Is it burning out?”

  He chuckled. “That’s an eclipse, Emerald. We had them on Earth as well. You’ve never heard about them?”

  “No! What does it mean? I mean, I dreamt of this last night.”

  “It doesn’t mean a thing. It’s a shadow falling across it, that’s all. The fact you think you’ve seen this sight before is just your imagination playing tricks on you.” He kicked at the equine’s flanks as the animal hesitated to walk into the dark forest with red hues and shadows.

  It moved forward with great hesitation. The light faded as they entered the forest, the sunlight filtered by the red trees and the fact one sun was disappearing.

  Emerald shivered at the cold, which took her. The lack of sun made it cooler than it had been. Caleb pulled at a bag, taking out a cotton wrap, and handed it back to her. “It gets kind of cold in here. I brought this to keep you warm.”

  “That was nice of you, thank you.” She pulled it around her narrow shoulders.

  Her eyes darted around at the many trees and bushes. “Have you heard any scary tales about these woods, Caleb?”

  “Not that I recall.”

  With a quivering voice, she said, “I’ve heard stories of lost little boys and girls who came into this forest and never came out.”

  His laugh filled the air. “So, I have me a wife who believes in fairytales and ghost stories?”

  Emerald’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. “One never knows, Caleb. Don’t make fun!”

  Her eyes were wide as she looked up at the giant trees. Thousands of years old they were and she was in awe of their size and age. The fact the Euthenian’s were allowing the Earthlings to cut them down to build themselves homes was a thing she thought horrible. Though they did need something to build their homes out of.

  A scarlet leaf fell from a branch high above her head and the equine was moving so slowly she was able to catch it. “Look what I caught!” She held it out so Caleb could see it.

  “Well, seems you have a thing to remember the day I brought you home.”

  She smiled at his sentiment and held it to her chest. As if she’d ever be able to forget the day her whole life changed.

  The light began to glow as they neared the edge of the red forest. Emerald saw a meadow of purple grass with black stones strewn around as if they’d been tossed around with no regards to where they’d land.

  A stream trickled through the grass. Emerald’s eyes followed the clear stream of water. Then a house came into her view.

  Caleb turned and she could see he was smiling. “There she is, Emerald. Tell me what you think.”

  Emerald was near shock. The tiny house had a roof which looked as if it was made of the purple grass which surrounded the home on all sides. Red, wood walls were glued together with a gray, mud. The only word which came to her mind was, ‘horrid.’

  The scene surrounding it was beautiful. The wavy purple grass offset by the majestic red forest in the background worked well in nature. She supposed if built better, the home would look fantastic. It was a hut, no windows, one door and it was pitch black inside as the door was standing open for her to see inside.

  She managed to choke out, “You built this, Caleb? Alone?”

  “My brothers helped me some, but it was mostly me. Do you like it? It matches the surroundings. Don’t you think?”

  “It does, yes. I like it. You made it, so I like it.”

  The closer they got, the more things she saw wrong with it. Cracks in the mud let in small pin holes of light. Emerald knew if light could get in so could insects. She hated insects.

  They pulled up; Caleb got off the equine then held his hand out to help her. He surprised her as he scooped her up and carried her into the darkness of their new home.

  “It’s a tradition to carry your wife over the threshold.” He put her down after he brought her inside.

  Emerald saw nothing but dark shadows. He lit up a lantern, making the inside appear. She looked down and found red dirt covering the floor. “I’ll sweep this out straight away, Caleb. Where might your broom be?”

  “No, silly! It’s a dirt floor. Like one of the latest things people do now. It’s pretty, right?” He gestured to the walls. “See how it matches the wood?”

  “You’re right, it does.” She ran a hand through her hair and tried hard not to break down and cry. “It’s larger than it looks like it is from the outside. What about some walls to break up the rooms, Caleb? Are you building them later?”

  “I like the place all open. No little rooms, just one big one. You can set up your kitchen where ever you’d like to. You can move the bed around to where ever you like. The beauty is you can do with it, however, you like to with no walls to get in your way.”

  Emerald looked around the shack he built with no windows or floors or separating walls. Then she realized one very important thing was missing. “The bathroom! Where is it?”

  Caleb’s eyes sparkled at her as he answered, “I bathe in a natural spring in the red forest.”

  “Okay, what about going to the bathroom, Caleb?” She began to twist her hands in front of her.

  “I go in the woods, you can too.”

  Her unhappiness at his words began to show on her face. She felt her bottom lip beginning to quiver as tears threatened. “Perhaps a quick walk around the outside.” She spun around to go outside before he could figure out she was about to burst into tears.

  She turned and walked back in quickly as he was quickly at her side. “I’ll go with you
.” She didn’t want him to see her crying.

  Emerald acted if some dust from the floor had kicked up into her eyes, she used her sleeve to dry her eyes. “You know I really should just put my things away. Is that lump of old blankets where we’ll be sleeping?”

  He nodded and she swallowed hard. This was going to be much harder than her life had been.

  “How long have you lived here?” she asked as she placed the bags she’d brought on the ground near the make-shift bed.

  “I haven’t. I’ve been at my parents’ house. I was waiting for you until I moved all the way in. I have more things to pick up from their place tomorrow.” He sat on a small wooden chair.

  “Oh! Good!” She sighed. “Okay, so we’ll have some more things.”

  “Of course, we will, wife,” Caleb said with a chuckle. “What do you take me for, a cheap man?”

  “No, of course not. So, for tonight, dinner. Where is the food?”

  “I need to set up your kitchen. There’s a box here with some things for that. Where do you want me to set that up at?”

  “Anywhere is okay,” she answered.

  His eyes leveled on her as he said, “I want you to decide, Emerald.”

  Her words came out quietly, “Over here by the table and chairs.”

  Emerald was unsure how she was going to take living in this new place in this way. One thing was for sure, the lack of a bathroom was going to make life so much harder.

  CHAPTER 4

  Emerald

  Emerald sat in a chair at the small table, watching Caleb as he lit some wood on fire in the middle of the floor. “Is it safe to have a fire inside a house?” she asked.

  “There are so many cracks in the mud holding the logs in place no carbon dioxide will build up. Don’t worry, you’re not with an idiot.” He stood up and went to retrieve something from his bag. He turned back and smiled at her as he held out a dingy cloth. “Dinner, dried jerky, and some bread my mother made this morning. I’ll get some water from the stream. I’ll be right back,” he said, as he walked out the door into the dark night.

  It had fallen dark so quickly. Emerald supposed it was due to the eclipse of the second sun. The fire made things look a little better in the flickering light. Her stomach was growing tighter as she knew what was about to happen.

  Caleb’s cheeks had flushed several times as she caught him looking her over when he thought she wasn’t looking. She had to admit she had looked him over as well. His clothes hid a lot about him she was sure. His forearms were tightly muscled so she knew his biceps had to be nice as well.

  Emerald had grown up on the bovine farm, she was aware of how intercourse went. It was usually fast, and the female avoided it every time in the animal world.

  Would he be quick and then it would be done?

  A naked man was not a sight she had seen. She’d seen male animals, so she had an idea of what there was to see. The sound of his boots as he walked up to the open door of the shack stopped her from thinking any longer.

  He walked in and handed her a wooden cup, full of water. His smile was so big she thought he must be proud of the stuff so she took a sip and found it refreshing and tasted good. “It’s really good.”

  “The water here is filled with minerals and is supposed to be real healthy for you. It’s one of the reasons I chose this area to build on. You have the forest to hunt in and the waters in the different ponds you find in there to fish in. You can plant a garden to get your vegetables in. I have some seeds I’ve been saving and we can make a garden together. Maybe we can start that tomorrow after we return from my family’s place.”

  Emerald was somewhat relieved. “It’s nice to know you’ve made a plan for us. I know we all came to Euthenia to lead a simple life, but some modern things are good too. Like a bathroom. It would be nice if we could add one, even if it’s outside.”

  He smiled and laid a blanket out by the fire and looked at her with fire in his deep green eyes. “If you want one then you will have one, my queen.”

  “That’s nice to hear. You and I can make this happen together. I have a feeling you’re a man I can put my trust in.” He sat on the blanket and patted the space next to him.

  She went and sat with him and found herself eerily calm as he made her feel a bit protected and his size made her feel as if he could keep her safe.

  Remembering the hook and strap in all the Euthenian homes and how her father kept one in his, a thing not all Earthlings accepted about the Euthenian lifestyle, she looked around for and did not find.

  Tensely, she asked, “Caleb, do you not believe in the hook and the strap?”

  Caleb shook his head. “I do not! This world is so much older than ours, but that practice is positively barbaric. You need not have any fear I will be giving you lashes when you do something which displeases me, Emerald. If you and I have any things we need to work out, we can talk about them.”

  “I have to tell you that relieves me greatly. My father was fond of the strap and me and my mother felt it’s sting more times than I care to recall. If that is behind me, that is fantastic news.” She laughed and fell back on the blanket. Her heart felt free with the news and then he was over her. Smiling down at her.

  Her heart stopped beating as his eyes had grown very dark. “The hour is late and we have to be up at dawn's first light. We should go to bed now, wife.”

  The gulp she made was loud and he laughed as she blushed. “Okay,” she said in a whisper.

  He stood and pulled her up. “I’ll make this relatively painless.” He smiled after he said the words but it did little to make Emerald feel better about what was about to happen to her.

  Caleb unbuttoned the buttons on the bodice of her dress as she tried hard not to allow her body to shiver. His hands were large and he was having trouble with the dainty things. “Shall I do that?”

  He gave her a nod and stepped back to allow her space. She finished what he’d started and pushed the dress from her body, leaving the dark blue material in a heap on the ground. Red dust puffed up as it hit the floor and she coughed.

  Not a stitch was under the dress and she stood naked in front of him. She stepped out of her shoes and went to lie on the pallet of blankets. He pulled his clothes off hurriedly and went to stand over her.

  His large cock was at full attention and her eyes were large. “Caleb, that will never fit.”

  “Don’t worry, it will.” He moved in next to her and placed his hand on her breast. “These are lovely. May I?”

  Her nose wrinkled as her face squished up as if she’d tasted something sour. “May you what?”

  “Suckle it,” he said as he looked confused. “Do you have no idea of the things that come along with intercourse, Emerald? Were you not taught by your mother?”

  She shook her head. “Guess you have to do that, Caleb.”

  “Then just lie back and close your eyes and get ready for a trip to Heaven, wife.” He smiled and squeezed her breast.

  “Heaven? So, it feels good then?” She was confused. The animals never seemed as if it felt good.

  “I guess I’ll let you be the judge of that, Emerald.” He leaned over and kissed her.

  Not like the peck he gave her after they were married. A real kiss. A solid kiss. A kiss which took her breath away. When he finally released her she looked up at him and batted her eyelashes. “That was magnificent!”

  “You liked that, then you’re about to love this.” He placed his mouth on her breast and nipped it, making her squeal.

  Then she moaned as his tongue ran over it and his hot mouth sucked it. The other breast he took in his hand and rubbed it, giving it gentle squeezes now and then.

  Her body was building up heat, her insides were quivering, and she felt she wanted even more. His mouth was taking her to a place she’d never been. He moved his body over hers and shifted to kiss her lips again.

  She squirmed a little as she felt him pressing his large appendage to her small opening. He pushed until he m
oved inside her sending a white-hot pain through her. But the pain ebbed shortly afterward and an intense pleasure began.

  Her body moved with his, and she was surprised by how hard they were both breathing. Moans erupted from them and at least, she was unaware of them leaving her mouth.

  His hands stroked softly over her body and his lips grazed her neck as he moved over her. Something inside her was building and she had no idea of what was about to happen.

  When she climaxed, she found herself shouting his name over and over. His body went taught and a wet heat filled her. She knew then it was his seed which poured into her.

  Her body naturally milked his large appendage, pulling every drop of the life-giving liquid from his loins. Her heart beat like never before and her mind was quiet, nothing mattered but how their bodies responded together.
