Dark Matter: SCIENCE FICTION ROMANCE

by Jessica Loft

  “I know that you can feel that,” Walker grunted. “I want you describe for me exactly how it feels.” He got a lot from what a woman from another world experienced. He lived vicariously through each and every one of them. January had no idea that his lust revolved around the woman’s pleasure, not only his own.

  “That’s a strange request, but I can’t seem to help myself. I want to do that for you, I want to do anything for you. I see all of the colors of the rainbow. I don’t exactly how to understand any of this, but it’s like I don’t have control over my own body. Walker, what we have already done is not enough to feed my need. I want you to express yourself the only way that you know how.”

  Walker listened to her tone and the breathy whisper of her voice. “I don’t think that I’ve ever heard it explained exactly like that before, January. I look at you in this position, so ready and subservient that I can’t help but wonder what kind of scream is going to come from your mouth.” He was only in far enough to feel her constricting walls trying to drag him in by sheer will alone. He was breathing heavily and watching as her lips twitched, seeming to have a mind of their own. The suction was very intense, but it was the way that her ass quivered when he bottomed out that had him staring at her like he couldn’t quite believe his eyes.

  “Oh my god, I can’t believe that I took the whole thing.” January gasped. “I’ve never been this open sexually. I need you to fuck me hard and with no mercy. I don’t want you to stop, even if I scream.” The words coming out of her mouth felt like they were coming from somebody else. “Fuck me, Walker. Make me feel it, hard, with your hips slamming up against me repeatedly. I don’t know what you are waiting for. You have me where you want me, but you insist on sitting there behind me and not moving one single inch.” January tried to push back and do some of the work on her own, but he had a firm hold of her hips and wasn’t allowing her to have any kind of leeway.

  “I know that is what you want. Believe me.” He said second guessing his decision to stick it in her; no one had ever been able to handle him to this point. Her warm wet walls swallowing him up could make him lose control. “I feel it myself, but you really have no idea what you have stepped into.” Walker had been here most of his adult life, but this was not originally where he came from. His people counted on him to bring them a fresh supply of sexual delights. What they didn’t know was that he liked to sample the merchandise before sharing the wealth, but he never gave himself completely to another species. Being here was not his idea, but it was one that he was going to have to live with, so he made the best of it.

  “I can’t take it anymore.” January insisted. “I want the motion of your hips taking me to that sexual bliss.” She waited impatiently, until Walker gave in and started to take matters into his own hands. He slapped her cheeks and she groaned in response. It was the feeling of him slip sliding along her lips that had her practically begging for more. She wanted him to finish it, and god help her, she needed his seed implanted, so damn deep that it wouldn’t see the light of day again.

  “I don’t normally do something like this, but for you I will make an exception. I feel the way that you pull me, and it’s unlike anything that I’ve ever felt before. I never know what it’s going to be like each and every time, but at least this time I have a woman who is capable of matching me stroke for stroke.” Walker watched as her body moved with him and then he took his hands off her hips to see that she was doing it on her own.

  “Cum inside me…please fill me up with your seed.” January was never this open or naughty when it came to matters of the heart. She was usually more the one-man kind of woman and that was essentially the reason she didn’t want anything to do with Hanson. Having Walker supply her with the kind of sex that would have her crawling on her knees for more brought a fleeting thought about what Hanson could deliver. She saw Hanson as a little boy who didn’t know how to grow up, but maybe there was more to him that she didn’t see.

  “Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.” Walker warned. He could feel the telltale stirrings in his groin. The way that his balls were inflating had him thinking that it was going to be one hell of a load. “I don’t think that I can stop, even if I want to. God damn…I… I know that you are willing, but I’m not sure that you understand the full scope of what you are asking of me.” It had been forbidden to take it this far, and he knew that once this got out, his status within the community was going to be shaken to the very core. He didn’t care. He had finally found a way off of this god forsaken planet and he wasn’t going to turn back now.

  January’s screams interrupted his thoughts: “I’m fucking cumming…I’m fucking cumming all over that nice fat cock…YESSSSSS.” She came, and she thought for sure that she was going to lose consciousness, but she managed to keep her eyes open. He never slowed down, until his python was shooting what felt like a gallon of his sweet cream within her. The feeling of the heated contents striking up against her womb gave her a sense of euphoria that surrounded her like a blanket. She was addicted, and there was no way she could find a substitute that would even come close to what Walker had given her.

  The expulsion had him staying inside her looking at her upturned ass and the mark that his fingerprints had now imprinted on her skin. In his overanxious state, he also left behind very detailed scratch marks down her back. He didn’t break the skin, but he had come very close. Her skin was underneath his nails. This was his personal trophy from a conquest that had gone better than expected.

  Walker didn’t want to pull out. He stood there with the steam rising around them, until he finally had to find his freedom. Time was of the essence. If he didn’t act soon, his window of opportunity was going to close forever. He had brought the ship down without the knowledge of the others. He had plans that superseded those of the citizens of this planet.

  January was panting in front of him. “I don’t even know where to begin. My legs are quivering and my wet pussy is so fucking sore from taking the log between your legs that I can’t even begin to think what it’s going to be like to walk.” She tried to stand up, only to stumble over her own feet. He grabbed her by the arm to make sure she didn’t fall. His sticky seed was still drizzling down the inside of her thighs. It painted a portrait of some slutty creature that couldn’t keep it in her pants.

  Walker knew that his need had outweighed his good judgment. He may have found a way to bring the ship secretly, but that didn’t make it any easier to get off of this prison. Those who had come here were forsaken to a life of debauchery with a never-ending supply of sex that had most of them begging for death.

  “You are one of the special ones, January. I can’t believe that you made me take it that far. That has never happened before. I’m sure that those who are watching are not going to be very happy with me.” Walker saw the confusion in her eyes, and he realized he had just said too much. It hadn’t been enough information to fully let January comprehend what was going on, but it was more than enough to raise a few red flags.

  “I don’t feel very good,” January said suddenly. Her stomach was twisting around in knots followed by dry heaving, but nothing was coming out. “What did you do to me?” She screamed. It was an obvious question, and one that she felt he knew the answer to. She looked into his eyes and could see the truth. “Tell me, god damn it… I deserve to know.” The pain was beginning to be excruciating, she grabbed her stomach as it began to move like waves, before swelling and bloating. She looked…pregnant.

  “I didn’t know that this, particular, unpleasantness was going to happen. I understand now the reason they have made it forbidden for any of us to go all the way with other species.” Walker looked at the product of his love growing within her belly and he knew that fatherhood was not too far away. The evidence within her stomach moved with each individual kick that came from the child within. “I can’t let you leave with my child. I’m going to have to take you with me, but not until I finish with the rest of your crew.” He said
pulling her with him.

  “What do you mean…finish with the rest of my crew? I don’t think that you’ve been completely honest with me.” The pain was radiating through her abdomen and suddenly it was like a red hot poker being stuck into her gut over and over again. “Help me…for god’s sake…somebody do something…kill me…kill me.” January tried to snap herself out of it, but the child within her had other ideas. She felt herself being dragged out of the water. Then Walker tossing her like a bag of garbage onto the ground at his feet. She curled into the fetal position, grabbing onto her stomach and hoped to god that this would end with the blessed hand of death.

  Chapter Four

  Walker walked through the woods outside of their landing pod carrying January on his shoulder, until they came to a clearing. January saw something familiar peeking through the far right corner of the field. She realized quickly that she was barely making out the Pegasus behind a group of trees, and it looked like it had seen better days. Fortunately she also didn’t see any sign of the alien species contaminating her ship. She didn’t know how Walker was able to hide it, but for some reason nobody else on the planet had dared to enter the clearing. She’d seen some signs along their walk, but through her hazy vision she was able to realize that this was the place of the damned.

  “I’m afraid that I have some bad news for you, January.” Walker said interrupted her thoughts. “I may have lied to you just a little bit to get you here. I found a way to direct any ship that was coming close to this planet toward that dwarf star. It made me seem like the hero, but it was all just a ruse. “Tasting” other varieties of women makes it exciting for me. Like I said before, we get bored down here easily, and we can’t keep from fucking each other silly. So although I can test out the newest arrivals before the others, I was getting to the point of wanting to end it all. You changed that for me. There’s no way that I’m going to share you with the others. I’m sure that they will come looking for you, but not here…not in this place.”

  January was still writhing in agony, naked, feeling vulnerable and exposed like never before. She tried to grit her teeth and bear it, but each explosion of pain was a reminder of what her mother went through with her in 24 hours of childbirth. January was going to have to send her some kind of bouquet to apologize for the pain she caused, if she ever got back to her planet. She sometimes took for granted that her mother had given her life and what she had to endure to make that happen.

  “You may as well tell me everything.” She whispered to Walker. “You alluded to something about my crew, and I need you to tell me what you have in mind for them.” January wanted to keep him talking, so she could formulate some sort of plan of attack. “I get this feeling like you and I are the only ones who are going to make it off this planet alive.” He had already said that he wanted off of this prison, and she was starting to suspect that, that was true, but that most everything else he had told her was a lie. She knew she had gotten caught up in the moment and whatever gases were in this planet’s atmosphere. But that was not an excuse she had allowed him to seduce her. He had taken her to new heights of pleasure that she never knew existed but he had also somehow manipulated her body or had used this planet to his advantage to get her into a very compromising position.

  “Oh my god… I think it’s coming… AHHHHHHH.” January had thought that the pain of the baby developing was unbearable, but it didn’t even come close to the actual childbirth. Walker didn’t even help. He gingerly set her down on the ground and walked away leaving her to handle things on her own. After several more moments of intense labor, January gave one last scream and a push as her child slid out. She reached down and narrowly caught the baby with her hands before she could fall into the dirt. It was a slimy mess, but she was beautiful. January felt an instant love and affection for the tiny being in her hands.

  Walker turned his attention to January once the birth was over. “I have everything that I want, and I can’t take the chance of your crew messing things up for me. You and the child are the most important thing to me, now, and I will not allow anybody to take that away. They can come after me, but they will be in for the fight of their lives. I have no choice but to leave your crew here to fend for themselves. They may think that it’s paradise for a while, but that will quickly get old.” January couldn’t believe that this was happening. It felt like a very bad dream that she desperately wanted to wake up from.

  She found a sharp stick to cut the umbilical cord and tied both ends. It was then that she heard her baby crying. A rush of love and protectiveness washed over her for this little being. She knew that she would never let anything happen to her. January held her in her arms for a couple more seconds before she turned her attention to her duty to her crew. She laid the baby gently on a pile of leaves, wrapping some around her tiny body for warmth. Then she stood up straight, still sore, but ready to stalk her intended victim. He had messed with the wrong woman this time.

  Walker was running his hand along the side of the ship when January found him. He felt elated that it was his time to finally leave this place behind. He had checked the engine on the Pegasus and found that it was made from an alien species that he had come to know quite well.

  “I have to tell you that this is the first time that I’ve ever been able to salvage anything of worth. I’m going to use pieces from other ships to make this thing space-worthy.” Walker was talking to January, unaware that January had other ideas of how to stop him. “I just need to make sure that your people are taken care of. I was tempted to cut their life support, but I don’t think that you would ever forgive me for something like that.”

  “It doesn’t have to be this way,” January said weakly, suddenly feeling a bit woozy. She was definitely going to need some serious medical attention. She really didn’t believe that her body was capable of such drastic changes in such a short period of time. She didn’t know what kind of damage had been done. But, that was going to have to wait until she made sure that this animal didn’t get off this prison.

  “I’m afraid that it does have to be like this, January. You should count yourself lucky that I’m taking you and our child with me. I was just going to use you for pleasure and then toss you away. You convinced me otherwise, and I will always be hunted for letting myself give in to you. They’re most likely on their way, and I really don’t want to be here when that time comes.” January looked around at the damaged Pegasus. He had somehow sealed the fissures. There were pieces that she didn’t recognize. Walker had turned out to be quite an able repairman.

  Walker carefully took every staff member out of their pods, still in frozen state. He dragged them out of the ship and laid them on the ground. By night, the scavengers would come and drag them back to their own personal heaven and hell. January’s crew had no idea what they were in for. Walker would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when they realized how much trouble they were really in.

  “I can’t let you get away with this, Walker.” She said grabbing his arm with her left hand. “I can’t trust your word when you say that you want to take me with you. You probably want to lull me into a false sense of security and then leave me someplace to die. I can’t have you wreaking this kind of havoc across the cosmos.” January pulled the weapon from behind her back with her right hand. She had found it hidden in the brush under a tree on her way to locate Walker. It must have fallen out of the ship. She didn’t like using extreme violence, but sometimes there was no other choice.

  “I know you better than you know yourself. You’re not going to use that thing. I’m going to take it out of your hand and then we can forget about this ever happening. I understand that you are in a terrible position, but that doesn’t give you the right to hurt the father of your child.” Walker was very sure of himself. His plan was to give the child time to bond to its mother before wrenching it from her grasp. She was needed to bear the weight of the child’s nourishment until it was old enough to feed itself.

  “I’m going
to warn you one last time, and then I won’t be responsible for my actions. Don’t come any closer.” January saw his smug look. He reached for her only to feel the effect of the weapon discharging. He looked at her, stunned. She had placed it on its highest setting to do the maximum amount of damage. She had no idea what his physiology was like or what kind of pain he could withstand.

  January stared at him triumphantly as green blood started flowing from his nose, and then he collapsed. She waited a moment, then cautiously approached him, thinking that he might be playing possum. She touched his neck and found no pulse. She turned him over to see that there was no life in his eyes. His bodily organs had turned to liquid.

  January breathed a sigh of relief, went back to her baby, and collapsed in exhaustion. It took her about an hour to sleep off some of the effects of childbirth. When she recovered some energy, she awoke the others, explaining the situation, and rushing them back onto the ship. She made sure they were flight ready before passing out in Hanson’s arms, the child snuggled tightly in a blanket sleeping soundly in her arms.

  Chapter Five

  Back in the safety of the Pegasus on course to home, January could finally, truly sleep. It took about five days to fully recover, but then January had a very frank talk with Hanson. They both realized that they were stronger together and maybe they should give a relationship a try.

  A week later she woke in a soft bed to the smiling face of Hanson holding her child in his arms. “I think that before we leave this quadrant we should send out a beacon to others, as a warning to stay away,” she mused aloud. “I don’t actually know who will receive it, but at least we can do our part to try to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.” January was lying in his bed. Hanson placed the little bundle of joy into the crib at the foot of the bed and swaddled her with a see-through sheet before joining January at the bed.
