“How is it possible that I survived that mountain fall and only came away with a broken arm?” I questioned, changing the subject. “I broke your fall. It was storming pretty bad last night. If I hadn't been there, you'd not only be dead but it would have taken ages to find you,” he informed. “I guess I should thank you then,” I said. “The pleasure was mine.” He poured more blood into his glass from a pitcher. Soft music started to play from a violin and piano combo.
We sat for a while, eating our own respected meals. After we had finished. The music still played. Harcourt got up and took my hand. “May I have this dance?” he asked. It was my turn to smile as I said, “Certainly good sir,” I got up and he embraced me. We began dancing slowly to the rhythm, losing ourselves to the moment where time stood still. In that one moment it was just me and him. He drew me closer, as we moved in circles with the rhythm.
Suddenly, his mouth was on mine. He kissed me with passion, then his lips left my mouth and moved to my neck. His breath grew rapid and heavier. I felt an ache of anticipation below, my dress fell to the floor. I didn't even realize we were still dancing, until we stopped. He swooped me up effortlessly and laid me down on his bed.
He slid off my chemise, his mouth took my breast. All thoughts and feelings escaped me. There was nothing in the world but me and him and endless pleasure. His mouth moved toward my naval and back up again. His hands explored every part of my body. I felt his hardness against my thigh, then without warning he drove deep inside me and my mind exploded with pleasure.
I screamed with pleasure as he thrust inside me. His rhythm was slow and steady at first. Then became hungrier, more urgent. He thrust faster and harder. I threw my head back and screamed as I orgasmed. I heard him exhale and then he slumped down beside me. He cradled me into his arms and we stayed like that for the rest of the night.
CHAPTER 6
I woke up still cradled in his arms. The sunlight peered through the windows. I expected to hear him snoring softly, as I had the yesterday. But, to my surprise, I found him to be awake. His beautiful eyes stared at me and he whispered, “We have work to do.” I groaned not wanting to be free from his arms. He kissed me gently, then got up and returned dressed in an instant.
He took me out to the sitting area. Moved all the furniture and said, “Okay, we're going to start with a meditation. Sit down and relax, breathe in and out.” I did as instructed. “Imagine you’re a feather, floating in the wind. Now imagine that a great wind has come and is taking you higher, higher, and higher till you reach the stars.
Now, imagine that you are moving with the stars. You can go anywhere; to any time period you choose. Pick a time period and go there. It's that simple,” he instructed. I opened my eyes and looked at him. “You're saying time travel is as easy as choosing where you want to go and then imagining yourself there?” I asked. “Yes, that's all there is to it. Just choose and will yourself there. Practice building up your will power and you can go anywhere,” he explained.
I closed my eyes and tried to imagine being somewhere, but I couldn't. I couldn't imagine being anywhere but with him. Over the next several days, I was instructed to meditate like clockwork. I had to practice willing myself to go different places. I never brought myself to actually leave him though. Every now and then he would offer advice.
Every night we would dine together, though I was ordered to go straight to my room after word. He didn't trust himself, not after our last dinner. As much as it pained me not to touch him, I knew that he was struggling more. He was trying to be strong but I knew he didn't want me to leave him. If I didn't it would mean the end of my existence.
I went to bed that night feeling a sort of emptiness. He was counting the days we had left. In my heart I was too. Suddenly the night was too quiet, and I felt hot tears roll down my cheeks. I wouldn't leave him. I decided. Then I realized he would force me to leave if I refused. He wouldn't allow me to freely end my existence. I was restless all night thinking about my options. It all came back to the choice I didn't want to make.
I was awakened by four gun shots outside my window. I shot up from my bed, fear pulsed through my veins. A hand flew over my mouth. “Don't make a sound, dream queen, your hunter friends are here.” My eyes widened. He was confident the other night that he was a myth. Even when I tried to warn him. Now they had found him. No matter how good those hunters were to me, I couldn't let them hurt him. Not now, not when my heart sang every time he was near me. I didn't know what to do.
There were voices outside and more gun fire. Then we heard the voice of Marcus shot, “Come on out you hideous vamp!” they group laughed hysterically as they ran around the mansion firing their guns and whooping. “Let me go out to them,” I said. “No! It's too dangerous. Stay quiet and they might go away,” he told me. “They won't, you don't know them, they live for this stuff,” I said concerned. “I'm not letting you go out there,” he argued.
We waited for what seemed like hours. Outside the hunters still continued to taunt Harcourt. “We've got all night, vamp!” Finally, after hours of waiting Harcourt decided to face them. “Stay here,” he ordered. “No! I'm coming with you,” I persisted. We walked out to face them. It was dusk and the sun had gone way down. The night was fretfully chilly. “You want me I'm here,” announced Harcourt. I stood with him.
“Good to see you Lucy, is the monster holding you hostage?” exclaimed Spencer. “I'm with the monster. If any of you try to hurt him, you'll have to kill me first,” I replied. “Aw, so the friend became the enemy. Well, good to know this is the thanks we get for saving your life,” said Marcus. “Too bad I liked you Lucy. Now I'll have to kill you,” said Spencer. “No one is going to hurt Lucy!” snarled Harcourt.
The first shot fired, started the chaos. Harcourt pushed me to the ground as he moved in a blur and knocked the guns out of each of their hands. “Look out!” I yelled as Sofia threw a hunter’s knife. The knife jabbed Harcourt in the leg. At most the knife would slow him down some. But it was enough to get me moving. I leaped up and tackled Sofia to the ground.
We wrestled on the ground, pulling up grass as we did so. She started choking me, I knocked her off clawing at her face with my bare hands. She screamed and knocked me in my chin. I tasted blood, my lip had been cut open. I pulled her hair as hard as I could manage. She spat in my face and at that point I lost it. I went hysterical with rage. “Of all the things you could do, why would you spit in my face!” I yelled.
“You were pulling my hair; do you know how long it takes me to get it right?” she said. “At least you won't die, I'll probably get sick,” I pointed out. “Are you saying I have a disease?” I frantically wiped my face with the sleeves of my gown. “How am I supposed to know what you have?” I asked rhetorically. Her icy stare was her reply to my comment. Then for no reason at all we stared at each other and burst out laughing.
We both realized two things. First, spit was gross. Second, in another time and place we could have been best friends. Sophie was a quiet one but she was very down to earth. Someone grabbed my waist and I was slug over their shoulder. By the time I realized it was Harcourt we were miles from his mansion.
“Are we running?” I asked. “There's no reason to hurt them. They can't see very well in the night; I doubt they'd try to come after us,” he said. “Besides it's time, you need to go back now. Stay here another moment and you might vanish.” He stopped and set me on the ground. We were deep into the surrounding forest.
“I won't go. I don't want to leave you. I can't!” I said. “You must!” he roared. “Don't forget I am a time traveler too. I'll come find you.” Hot tears fell down my face. “Don't cry. I love you,” he whispered in my ear. I held on to him so tight I thought he would cry out but he didn't. He just kissed my lips. We stayed glued to each other for a long time. We kissed until we ran out of breath. Then he lifted my gown. I didn't protest as he laid me on the ground.
The pleasure was maddening as he thrust inside me. All I could say was tha
t I loved him. My world spun out of control as he went deeper, harder, madder with passion. We both knew our end had come. Either I would cease to exist or he would be found and killed. As I screamed with the final climax, he kissed me again. The moon was full in the night sky.
“Now,” he whispered with pain in his voice. I didn't want to leave him. There were voices and sticks breaking in the distance. They had found us. I closed my eyes and imagined myself back in my apartment. I willed myself there, though my heart was not ready. When I opened my eyes I was laying on a couch. Though it looked unfamiliar to me.
I sat up and found that I was in someone’s house. “What happened?” I whispered to the empty air. “You over shot it,” I heard a voice reply back. I looked around and saw Harcourt standing in the entrance. He was holding a young boy in his arms that looked very much like him. “Who's that?” I asked. “Our son,” he said. “This is what your heart desired and so this is what you got. A future with me.” My heart skipped for joy. I jumped up and ran to him. I kissed him and threw my arms around both him and my son.
I don't know how long our happiness will last, I don't know where time will take me, or how long I will be able to keep traveling through it but I do know that I now have something worth protecting, something worth existing for. And I will fight with all my strength, with my last dying breath, to protect this very moment. I will not let time pull me away, not this time. I will keep my beautiful family with me for all eternity. We will live forever, because we are time travelers.
*** THE END ***
Abducted By The Alpha Alien
By: Stephanie Hunt
Stella awoke that night to strange sounds coming from the back yard. At first she thought it was her golden retriever Sunny but when she sat up in her bed and glanced out the window she noticed strange bright lights as well. There was a dull humming noise, as well as some bells and the sound of a strange mechanism moving. Could this be a real alien encounter? Stella, admittedly, had been fascinated with the occult and the supernatural her whole life. She had always secretly wanted to have exposure to this weird new dimension. So while her heart was beating like crazy, thoughts raced in her mind about what this possible disturbance could be. Stella slept alone. As a big, beautiful woman (and very curvy) she had been having trouble finding a boyfriend lately. She hoped against hope that Mr. Right was out there somewhere.
She got out of her bed, threw on a night robe (she slept in the nude – it was more comfortable that way) and headed for the back yard. The sounds got louder as she wandered over to the strange machine. She wondered if her neighbours were at all disturbed by the transpiring. But no one seemed to be coming over. This perplexed her. She came under the bright light and then noticed that slowly a creature seemed to be descending – no, hovering – in a downward trajectory towards the soil. When the green man landed and approached her, he opened his mouth to speak and fluent English came out, if not with a very “alien” accent.
“I am Khan. We need you on board for some experimenting. Will you join us?”
Stella was strangely aroused by this. It was, after all, an adventure and one her life needed. But she was cautious as well, and a little frightened. She did not want to be abused or taken against her will. Her experiences on this ship would likely take some warming up to. She quickly ascended by nodding her head and then Khan beckoned for her to come closer. He wrapped his arms around her and then the strange tractor beam that had caused him to descend a moment ago was now lifting them up into the hold of the spaceship. The only sound on the ground was that of her dog, Sunny, barking. “Don’t worry honey!” she called out to her. “Mama will be back soon! There IS food and water in your bowls!” Sunny barked in affirmation.
Little did she know that she was embarking on the biggest adventure of her life, one that promised intrigue, sex, adventure, and thrills beyond her wildest dreams. Goodbye boring life!
On board the ship, she took a second to survey the area and make a mental note of all the strange odds and ends and technological wonders that surrounded her and that adorned the main hold. Khan led her through a series of corridors to the pilot room. From there, she noticed, through a large window, that the ground descended from under them and the ship launched high into the air at a breathtaking speed. In a matter of seconds, in fact, she could see her entire town below. There was the church where she went every Sunday. There was the community centre where she attended her single women’s support groups. There was the green park where she walked Sunny three times a day. And up, up skyward was nothing but stars and galaxies and the moon and planets. Her heart skipped a beat as she literally was whisked away into a new, unknown life. She looked over at Khan who seemed to sense her excitement and he looked back. He wasn’t unattractive for an alien, with big brown eyes, green smooth skin, and a lanky body. He was short, about 5’3, and wore only a loin cloth. Secretly to herself Stella could not help but giggle at the thought of what might exactly be underneath it.
Khan took Stella back through the long corridor and gave her a tour of the engine room. It worked in a strange way with some sort of large pink crystal powering the entire ship. Alien technology. Sheesh!
“What sort of experiments were you planning on doing to me?” asked Stella. She did not want to give herself up too easily and was slightly afraid.
“We need a female subject such as yourself to do research in human fertility.” Human fertility! Will they be sticking strange things inside of me?
“And you think I would be a good candidate?” Stella managed to utter.
“Your specifications match our ideal female carrier, yes. But first, you have to meet our master of our ship, the grand architect Isaac. He will give you a tour of the procedure room and get you started on the experiments. Then he’ll explain what further adventures await.” At the sound of “adventures” Stella perked up a bit. But she still didn’t want to forfeit her body that easily. Really, who would?
Khan led Stella to Isaac’s chamber: a very large study with tall, tall walls and an open glass ceiling portraying a magnificent view of the celestial heavens. Isaac was sitting in a magnificent, ornately-decorated chair, in front of a large metal table with all sorts of contraptions and doo-dads scattered about on it.
“This is the woman? Please bring her to me so that I may more closely inspect her. I wish to see these curves and sense her pheromones up close.” Stella felt a tingle in her womanly parts.
There was no getting around it. Isaac was handsome. His features were chiselled, he was muscular, and his commanding tone and obvious intellect left a sturdy impression in her womanly heart. She approached him slowly, the moonlight at once accentuating her own skin as well as that of the supreme leader. He touched her hand and brought her up to his height. Their hands remained entwined just long enough to send a shiver up her spine. “My lady, it is my deepest and truest pleasure to finally meet your acquaintance. If there is any accommodation that is within my power to grant you while aboard our vessel you need only ask and it will be yours.”
“I am frantic, my lord.” (She felt this was the appropriate title). “And I have come a long, long, way. What kind of experiments were you planning to do to me? I have never been abducted before and even on Earth I am afraid of medical procedures. I have so many questions.”
“Your questions will all be answered as our journey becomes clear. There is much on this ship that works wondrously and it will be my duty, pleasure, and honour to make you all the more familiar with it. For now let me show you to your sleeping quarters. Our observations of your people have led me to be able to reproduce a typical sleeping room that you should be comfortable in.”
A strange thought popped into her head: Won’t you join me? Stella wanted to ask it. There was almost a magnetic attraction between them and she found him at once masculine and overtly sexual. But she kept her thought to herself. She hoped that Isaac would be there when they performed the experiments. To say that she was afraid would be an understatement. But
somehow it all balanced with her excitement and her desire to break free from her normal life.
Khan showed her to her sleeping quarters, passing through long hallways with odd portraits of green aliens wearing a variety of strange garments. As she walked she paid special attention to these oddities, making a mental note to remember them if she was ever to return home. Perhaps she would write a memoir about these experiences. The quarters were much to her liking. Her bedroom was about four times the size of hers at home, and the bed was much larger as well. It appeared to be stuffed with feathers and as she bounced her rear end up onto its edge, she felt the instant need to lie down and become enveloped.
“Would you be requiring any sleeping companions, Earthling?” asked Khan.
It was all Stella could do to keep her wits about her so she decided that it would be best to sleep alone – at least this first night. She was used to it. She had been sleeping alone for years. But if the chemistry between herself and Isaac held up, maybe things might change in this regard.
“No, I sleep better alone,” replied Stella.
Her sleep was agitated at first. She couldn’t believe what had happened. For some strange reason she had the impulse to call home and tell everyone she knew what was happening. Then another strange thought caught her. Could this be a dream? She pinched herself to see if she could wake up. But the room she was in was as tangible as a piece of wood. And the longing in her loins was as real as ever. While still scared, she was beginning to warm up to this strange race of beings. So far they were polite, smart, and seemed to know how to take charge. Maybe that’s what she had been wanting her whole life. While searching for the perfect man, maybe she should have been searching for the perfect species?
