Her Alien Abductor (Aegarian Saga)

by O'Hurley, Alexandra

  “Okay, you growling beast, back over on the other side.”

  Besh smiled at her from over his shoulder and turned faster than she thought humanly possible. She laughed at the look of childish delight written on his face and started massaging his chest with the sweet smelling oil.

  “Woman, if you don’t hurry up and move your hands south, I will let loose my control and bury myself deep inside of you and ruin your little tormenting game.”

  “I knew I should have tied you to the bed.”

  He laughed, and then stared into her eyes. As he did, his pale blue eyes darkened with unspeakable desire for her. What she saw there brought tears to her own, and she had to suppress a small sob. No one in her entire life had ever loved her with the depth this man before her did. And then she chided herself for becoming a crybaby over the last few days. It seemed every show of love from this man brought her to tears.

  Her hands wandered down his chest, covered his stomach, and started to tickle through the patch of tight curls which covered the base of his manhood. Those curls were much softer than those of any other man she had ever seen, and she could rub the silky hairs all day. But if she did he might revolt, so she got back to the task at hand. She used two shaky hands to grasp the base of his penis and thankful for the oils coating her hands and fingers, she began emulating the friction of her sex sliding over his hard cock.

  He was tighter than a spring, seeming ready to explode even before she had barely begun. His body was so tense; the relaxing massage seemed to have no effect on his hard, virile body. She bent over to lick the head of his cock and tasted the sweet, sticky liquid which had already formed at the tip. She could lick him all night, the only man she knew who tasted like candy.

  She increased the pace of her hands and licked the head as deep into her mouth as she could, the size preventing her from taking much, as she sensed his release was coming soon. His cries of pleasure and growls from his chest warned her to be ready. She kept her tongue locked against the opening in the head of his penis, ready to lap up his spent passion, pulling the orgasm from his body.

  “K-a-y-a-a…” he groaned his release, holding her head tight to his sex with one hand, and he dropped back into the bed, spent, sated and on the border of sleep.

  Kaya cleaned his sex off with her mouth, loving the taste of him, until he slid his hands under hers and dragged her on top of his muscled frame.

  “You will be the death of me. Do you know that? I never knew sex with my mate would cause me to die from untamed passion.”

  “We are only getting started, buck-o. You had better hope you can endure me and my needs.”

  Just then the doors to the suite were thrown open, and soldiers came rushing into the room, with Dar Jin fast on their heels. Besh jumped up, shielding Kaya from the room.

  “Lieutenant, what is the meaning of all this?”

  “You, sir, are under arrest.”

  “Arrest? For what charge?”

  “For breaking the laws of Daya N’goul and seeing your mate before the period of Si’ ni mon was over.”

  Besh stood openmouthed, looking at his second in command. Two of the soldiers grabbed Besh and tried to handcuff him. Besh fought the men off, throwing one across the room.

  “General, we do not wish to harm you or your Princess, but we will take you both by force if we must.”

  ****

  Besh turned a murderous glance at Dar Jin, never expecting his friend and fellow warrior to treat him with such disrespect, especially in front of his woman. But he looked at Kaya, and not wanting her to be harmed, he allowed himself to be handcuffed.

  Fear unlike any he’d ever felt swarmed through him. Never before had he the responsibility of another’s safety entrusted to him. She could be a target for his father’s political foes. Kaya didn’t understand his world or the politic factors that raged like a tempest under the surface, nor did he ever really want her to know it all. He had to ensure her well-being if it were the last thing he did.

  “Go to my parent’s rooms and stay with them until I can be cleared of this.”

  “Your parents already left for Hara D’Noll this morning, Besh, dear boy. You will be returning this afternoon on the next frigate to your home world.”

  Dar’s interruption made Besh’s head spin. “A frigate? It will take a month or more to return via frigate. Why are you holding me for so long before allowing me to have my day in court?”

  “We think you need some time to reflect on your crimes.”

  “Dar, why are you doing this? After all my family has done for you?”

  Dar paused, sadness sweeping over his face. He stood frozen, looking at Besh, his jaw tight and his eyes dull. “Don’t make this any harder, General.”

  “Harder for whom? Me, or you? You’ve a lot to answer for.”

  Dar sighed, his shoulders sagging. “I’ll never atone for my sins, no matter how hard I try. The list continues to grow.”

  “Then stop this. Don’t do it.”

  “I wish I had the choice, Besh.” Dar’s shoulders rose once more as he closed the door on whatever weakness he’d touched within him. “Come, guards, let us get the General ready for transport.”

  ****

  Kaya sat silently as the guards began to cuff her husband, shocked into inaction. She was unsure of what she could do, or even who to turn to. If Dar was one of his closest friends and allies, who here could help her now? Then the words of Meet Sook Nu ran through her mind like a slap to the head. “Et Fatel will get himself into great trouble if he abuses your body. He knows the law. If he is caught inside you he could be killed.” Did Dar know of the nighttime dream rendezvous they had both played a role in? Had he witnessed them the day before their Joining? Could Besh being her teacher cause him to break the law, enough for him to die over?

  All this was racing through her head and just as suddenly she realized as they began dragging Besh out of the rooms that this might be the last time she ever set eyes on him alive. She screamed and dove for his body, wrapping herself around him.

  “Please, noooo, let him go. He’s done nothing wrong … you can’t take my husband away; we have just Joined. There must be some other way … noooo!”

  “Kaya, my Princess. Do not cry, we will sort this all out in due time. Do not worry yourself so, it will be fine.” Besh continued to soothe her with his words, but it was not enough; she was overwrought with emotion. She had just found the love of her life to then have him stripped from her arms, stripped from their bed, taken into custody over a stupid rule?

  “Kaya, gather your things. Find my sister and get a transport to Hara D’Noll. Promise me you will find my parents and stay with them where you will be safe.”

  “I promise,” she whispered to him through her tears. She watched him walk out the door as Dar grabbed her by the arms and held her back, preventing her from following him up the stairs and into the hall.

  “I will arrange the transport for you, My Princess. Pack some belongings, and you can leave within the hour.”

  “Like hell. Leave me be,” she screamed as she threw the huge man off of her. Her body fueled with adrenaline, she pushed him halfway across the room, allowing her to grab her gown and race from the room.

  As she was running down a hallway nude, she searched down each long hallway for a familiar face. Just as she turned another corner, a firm hand grasped her wrist and pulled her into an alcove in the wall. She tried to scream, but a hand clamped down over her open mouth, preventing the alert.

  Chapter Nine

  Familiar brown eyes stared deep into Kaya’s. J’Halle held her tightly to her, with her hand over her mouth. Behind her stood a fearful looking Be’in.

  “My lady, do not scream, I am here to help you,” J’Halle whispered. “I am going to remove my hand, and I need you to listen to me.”

  Kaya nodded, thankful to see her lady’s maid.

  “The Bel Tak landed here this morning, along with the Hi Ni Shin, and they have abducted
every member of the Emperor’s family, including the Emperor and Empress. Lady Sigh was here, as were both of the General’s younger brothers. Word has it the other sisters have been captured as well as the Regent.

  “I am not sure why they did not capture you as well; maybe they do not consider you a threat to their plans. I have seen Dar Jin conversing with the Bel Tak. Also, the Great Olum Naucht of the Ha Ni Shin is here, with some of his warriors. The Ha Ni Shin were once allied with the Bel Tak, and evidently their inclusion in the Empire was a fallacy.

  “From the looks of it, the Ha Ni Shin are still allied with the Bel Tak, and Dar Jin is their inside informant. With all of the ruling family incarcerated, they will take over the Empire easily. The only chance we have is to reach Hara D’Noll before they do and warn the Senate and get them to raise an army. The only way we can get to them before the transport is to use Brox Catha.”

  “Then let’s do it, let’s go. Point out the way.” Kaya was more scared at this moment than she had ever been in her life, but she would do anything for Besh. She had no knowledge of Brox Catha or how it worked, but if she would save her love and his family, she would do it.

  “It is not that simple, my lady. Brox Catha is a device which many train for years to be able to use before they even take their first jump. It changes your body into separate molecules, and you travel to where you need to go in the blink of an eye, after focusing on your destination, and there you rematerialize. You have never even been to the home world, so you cannot visualize it. You are untrained. Even trained men have been hurt, and a few have even lost their lives. But I don’t know of another way to reach the home world and not raise notice by trying to send a communication.”

  “Then you go. Go warn them of this. Or better yet, take me with you.”

  “Being artificial, no, we cannot use the travel device. Our molecules would be unstable, and we could never rematerialize and that would leave you in the middle of Hara D’Noll alone. I am unsure if there is anyone in the village besides the General who can even do the jump.”

  “So, we need to either free Besh or I need to make the jump and pray I make it in one piece. Some decision … do I choose the rock or the hard place?”

  “What?”

  “Nothing, sorry. Is there any way we can free Besh before they load him on the transport?”

  “He is probably being loaded as we speak, my lady, so besides taking a cruiser and gunning the ship down and hoping he survives the crash, I don’t know of a way.”

  “Damn.” Double damn. Kaya was definitely in between the rock and the hard place. Suddenly another issue came to mind. “J’Halle, how does a quiet lady’s maid suddenly become so knowledgeable about the inner politics of the Empire?”

  J’Halle only smiled at her words. “My lady, there is a small faction of the Empire which has been very vocal about being anti-human. Don’t you think one of the most important men in the Empire would think to protect his mate with a bodyguard?”

  “You’ve been my bodyguard all along?”

  “Of course. The general understood you would bristle at having a bodyguard, so I was to assume the role of lady’s maid along with my sister.”

  “He was right. But at this point, I can say I’m glad he did it. You may be saving our collective asses.”

  Kaya needed more information on the Brox Catha and how she could prepare for this jump. Information, where would she find information? Aha! “J’Halle, take me to the library.”

  “At once, my lady.” J’Halle looked at her curiously, but went along with her instructions before turning to her sister. “Be’in, stay and listen to what they are doing.”

  ****

  The streets were quiet as J’Halle grasped her lady’s hand and navigated the streets to the library. The beautiful houses and gardens did not even register in Kaya’s sensory system on this trip. She was on a mission, and she had to save her love.

  They reached the door to the library, and with a deep breath and a crossing of the fingers, Kaya pushed open the heavy door and the musty smell hit her face like a wave. She could find out what to do here, she just knew it. After walking into the main hall, she saw her friend Eetu. The librarian had been helping her over the past few weeks learn about the Aegarian culture. He beamed once he saw her and raced over to embrace her.

  Eetu sensed her worry and frowned as he looked at her. “What can I do for you today, Princess D’Hanna?”

  “I hope I’m turning to the right person.”

  Eetu frowned, his eyes narrowing as he looked at her. “I am forever in your service.”

  She paused a moment, fearful of trusting the wrong person. Kaya sensed she could trust this man. He’d done everything he could to aid her quest for knowledge, often admitting there had been mistakes made along the way. His honesty then gave her hope. The words flew from her in a flood, her nerves raw. “The entire ruling family has been abducted.”

  J’Halle jumped in. “The Bel Tak and Olum Naucht are planning to overthrow the Empire. We need to use Brox Catha to get to the Princess to Hara D’Noll before they do and try to notify the Senate. I cannot go with her.”

  Eetu’s eyes enlarged, but he stayed calm and thought over the words. He began to walk a short path, pacing as it appeared his mind was racing. Her stomach was doing flip-flops as she waited, wasting time they didn’t have. After a pause, he finally spoke. “And you do not even know how to use Brox Catha, yet you are willing to possibly die to save our worlds?”

  “Not just our worlds, to save my love. Maybe I’m being foolish, but if he dies, I can’t imagine living without him.”

  Eetu smiled down at her. “Then I think you need a Ga Hall warrior to help you save the day, my dear.”

  “What’s a Ga Hall warrior?”

  J’Halle interrupted, her face covered with awe. “The Ga Hall were a small sect of mystic warriors the Emperor employed for millions of years. The Bel Tak attacked their village nearly a hundred years ago, coming in the night, somehow slipping through their defenses and killing the entire village. Two warriors escaped that night. Dar Jin’s father was one. The other disappeared, never to be heard from again.”

  “Dak Jin was a traitor. He was in league with the Bel Tak, and that is how they slipped past the defenses. I claimed it then, but because Dak was so popular with the Senate at the time, no one believed me, and I was exiled.”

  Kaya’s eyes grew wide. “You’re the other warrior?”

  “Yes, Princess. I made an oath over two hundred years ago to serve the Empire. I wasn’t able to save my people, but maybe I can help you save your love and the Empire as well.”

  “What do we do?”

  “I am well trained in Brox Catha. I use it almost weekly to gain more information for this library. You are not, but I think I can give you a way to come with me and survive the journey.”

  “How’s that?”

  “We go through together. Instead of you focusing on your destination, focus on me and you will follow me until I stop at Hara D’Noll. I did this many years ago with a pupil who was frightened of the transporter, and I did this to show him how simple it was. My pupil had said it took little effort and was the easiest trip he had ever been on.”

  “Then let’s do it.”

  “I have my own Brox Catha in the back room. Let’s go, Princess!”

  ****

  Kaya stepped into the coffin-shaped box, which was standing on its end. She then realized it felt like a telephone booth and started thinking of a silly movie she had watched when she was a teen. Realizing the hilarity of the situation, she mumbled under her breath, “Something is amiss at the Circle K.”

  “What was that, Princess?”

  “Nothing. Nothing. I think the weight of the situation has got my nerves jumpy and I’m laughing to ease my anxiety.”

  “Laughing I can deal with, crying I can’t. So laugh away.”

  “I agree, Eetu.” She took a deep breath and released it on a sigh. “Are we ready?”


  Eetu had been working on a few dials and knobs and had turned around to face her. “Princess, you need to look directly into my face. Remember my face throughout the entire journey. Focus on it and do not allow the memory of my face to leave you until you rematerialize on Hara D’Noll.”

  “Yes. I understand.” She faced the older man and stared at his face for what seemed like an eternity.

  “Have you got it, Princess? Are you ready?”

  “As ready as I’ll ever be. Let’s go.”

  Eetu closed the door to the box and flipped a switch. Kaya could no longer see anything, except the face of the kind elderly man who had become her friend as well over the past few weeks. She held on to that vision, as it seemed her body was whisked away. She felt lighter than air and as if a wind were blowing through her whole body, like she was made of nothing at all. And through it all, she saw Eetu’s face. Around her planets loomed, galaxies shone brightly and comets soared, but Kaya ignored it all, scared she would lose the image she held fast to, afraid she would be left scattered to the heavens for infinity without saving Besh. She hoped to be able to witness the beauty of space sometime in the future, because it took all her control not to gaze around her at the colors which swirled into her line of vision.

  Finally, after what seemed like eternity, Kaya felt whole again. She blinked several times and realized she was weighed down again, not floating, no winds billowing through her. It was dark, like the moment they had stepped into the box, and then Eetu’s face, not just the image she had held on to, was visible in front of her face.

  “Well, Princess, you seem to be a natural at this.”

  “You told me it was easy, and it was.”
