Romance: The Bad Boy Affair: A Second Chance Romance

by Veronica Cross

  “Pumpkin?”

  “Uh, yeah.”

  “You okay? You seem to have the weight of the world on your mind…or at least on your face.”

  “Oh, ummmm. Well… Just wondering if you wanted breakfast?” She asks, chickening out of what she really wanted to say.

  “That would be nice, pumpkin,” He says after taking another sip of coffee.

  Ashton heads to the green fridge and pulls out a couple of eggs and other items to make breakfast. She places each item on the counter and keeps looking back to her dad, waiting for the right time to say something.

  “So, how’s that Booo Bee fella? You still seein’ him?”

  “It’s Bobby, and no.” Ashton pulls out an iron skillet from the bottom cabinet. She turns the heat up on the gas grill of the stove.

  “That’s a shame. He had quite an arm, though to be honest, he didn’t seem too bright to me.”

  “Just wasn’t meant to be.” Ashton smiles and grabs a jug of orange juice from the fridge and pours herself a glass.

  “Probably best. Heard from Miss Callahan that he was caught naked doing something god awful to some football post.”

  Ashton practically spits out her orange juice after the first sip. She cleans it up and cracks an egg to put on the skillet. The skillet sizzles.

  “Autumn Spirit and her filly are doing well. The filly has tons of energy. Reminds me of you and your sister.”

  “Dad…Pops, I’m pregnant,” Ashton says. as if triggering a small explosion. She squints after saying it, waiting for the reaction. Her dad hasn’t spanked her in years, but she can’t help but flinch.

  She glances over to see him staring at the window. His face is getting flushed red. He doesn’t say anything.

  “Well?”

  “Well, nothing. What were you expecting me to say?”

  “I don’t know. I wasn’t thinking that…”

  “You weren’t thinking. That’s the problem.”

  “I wasn’t thinking that I could keep this a secret much longer.”

  “Who’s the father? Is it that no good Bobby can’t-keep-my-pants-on quarterback?” Her dad continues to get red.

  “No, Dad.”

  “I expected this from your sister, but not you. How you going to help on the farm while you’re…”

  Ashton gets angry. It’s not about her getting pregnant. It’s about her not being able to help on the farm. What if she didn’t want to help on the farm anymore? Would she ever have the choice to leave? “That’s what this is really about.”

  “Don’t go changing the subject.”

  “I’m not. This isn’t about me, it’s about you,” Ashton fires back. “You’re afraid. You’ve been afraid ever since you lost Mom, and then your hand. You’ve always needed a crutch.”

  “I don’t know what you got spinning in that head of yours, but…”

  “Dad, I know you. You try your best, but you’ve been limited. Especially by your…”

  “Gimp hand, just say it! Don’t you think I wish I could be self-sufficient? In all my life I never had to rely on anyone else. We were taught to take care of ourselves and our family. It’s a cruel joke of the universe that I can barely do either.”

  “Dad it’s not like that.” She stops as she has a new idea. “I noticed your walk has gotten better.” Her father says nothing, so she continues. “Something magical and confusing has happened to me. You’ll never believe it, but it’s not all a bad thing. Ashton walks to her father and takes his gimp hand. She feels her blood rush and tingling all over like she did when she cut her own hand.

  “What are you doing, Ashton?”

  “Pops, just look”

  “It’s bad enough you’re pregnant. Now you are throwing my disability in my face.”

  During this whole argument Ashton forgot about the eggs. They were starting to smoke. The fire detector goes off. Her father pushes her out of the way and grabs the skillet with one hand and turns the faucet on with the other. Smoke fills the room as the fire dissipates.

  Faith comes rushing downstairs to see the commotion. “What the heck is going on down here?” She shouts as she comes into the smoke-filled room with the small plastic fire alarm blaring. “Pops, your hand!” she shouts.

  He looks over and notices his gimp hand now working. It holds the skillet, while the other is on the faucet. He drops the skillet into the sink and pulls his hand in front of his face.

  “It can’t be. It can’t be. I can feel it. I can move it,” he says as he moves each finger and thumb. “How…How Ashton?”

  “You are both going to need to sit down so I can tell you.”

  Ashton paces back and forth trying to find the right words to explain something so irrational. Faith is excited. She’s normally the one in trouble and having to get out of it. It was fun seeing Ashton finally as the bad girl.

  “Just spit it out Pumpkin. Whatever it is you have to say can’t be any crazier than me getting the feeling back in my hand.”

  “Well right before the Fair and the stock yards I was having a real bad night.” Ashton continues to tell them about the night after the lake, how she reached out on the radio. How she ran off into the fields and the beam of light. Faith and her father sat bewildered. They would never in a million years have believed her had she not just healed their father.

  “So, basically you’re saying you got abducted by a UFO in a field while naked and were seduced by an amazing hunk of alien, and now your pregnant…and going to have little alien babies,” Faith says in a very unbelievable tone.

  “Yep, pretty much.”

  The room is quiet. They all start to laugh.

  “That’s absurd, but I guess we have to believe you. That might explain the crop circles the other day, I figured it was the miller brothers again. They’re always prankin’ and cow tipin’” Ashton’s father says.

  “Always have to one-up me, sis. I don’t think I can top getting laid by someone from another planet. Does he have a brother?” she jokingly asks.

  “Now that your hand’s better, you won’t need me as much on the farm, Pop.”

  “I didn’t realize I put so much burden on you.” He goes and puts both hands around his daughter and gives her a big hug. “It’s going to take me some heavy drinking and prayin’ before I know what to say or how to understand what’s going on, but you’ve never been one to lie. Besides I never would have believed you if you said I’d use my hand again. I guess I’ll have to put aside what I believe and no for now. I love you both and want the best for you both.”

  Chapter 18 – Tossing and Turning

  The blades circled in a hypnotic motion. For hours Ashton stared at the ceiling fan. She shifted her covers, stacked her pillows, slept left, slept right, nothing she did felt comfortable. Her body was tired, but her mind was a three-year-old on caffeine and sugar cubes, racing back and forth. It didn’t help that her windows rattled with the winds from an approaching storm. She had her own storm in her mind she was dealing with.

  Even though there was some resolution with her family Ashton new her trouble and issues had just begun. Being a single mother wouldn’t be easy. Her dad was right she thought. How was she supposed to take care of the farm and her newborn?

  She was lonelier than ever. She had only been with Orion for a night, but it felt like she knew him for an eternity. She missed him and wanted to know more about him. She didn’t even stop to think about how amazing it was to be one of the only people that know there is another life form out there in the whole universe. She has part of that life form, part of him growing in her she thought to herself.

  She sits up in her bed. Her belly has gotten significantly larger so it’s not as easy to sit up as it once was. That may be why she’s having such a hard time falling asleep. Her room is dark except a small night light by the door and the occasional lightning strike in the distance. She pulls off her covers and walks over to the telescope and looks through it. Her view is limited from the window especially through
the rain, but she always remains hopeful to catch a glimpse of Orion who may be watching her from above.

  “Where are you, my prince? My man from another world, another Galaxy, “she whispers as if he’d somehow hear her through the telescope.

  “I don’t want to be alone. I need you. I can’t have this baby alone. I don’t even know how to raise an Alien baby or whatever it will be.”

  Her emotions build. Her heart starts to race. She paces back and forth. Thousands of conflicting thoughts collide. She can’t handle it anymore.

  Chapter 19 – The Return

  Ashton runs down the stairs. She’s about to run outside but stops and looks at the radio in the den. She grabs the microphone from it and flips the radio on. The radio whirrs on. She’s done this many other nights and it didn’t matter. No response.

  “Orion. Orion. If you can hear me I need you. I crave you”

  “I don’t know who this Orion guy is but that’s pretty hot. I can come meet you.” says some random voice possibly a trucker.

  Frustrated Ashton shuts off the radio, throws the microphone and runs out of the house. The screen door slams behind her. She runs through the grass field. The rain pounds harder and harder with each step. The sheets of falling water drench her t-shirt. Her oversized shirt clings to her body and reveals her breasts as her shirt becomes see-through from the wetness. She keeps running, but not as fast as before. It takes her a little longer with a bulging pregnant belly, but she’s just as determined. She makes it to the edge of the corn field where she was abducted. She fights to breathe and catch her breath. The cold air stings her as it enters her lungs.

  “Orion! Orion!!” Ashton yells at the angry dark skies. Lightning strikes in the distance. “Are you watching? Are you up there? I need you!”

  After no response, she makes her way into the maze of corn. She comes to a flattened area about where she found herself after the abduction.

  She again yells to the skies. “Orion, you can’t leave me here by myself! I need you! I have your baby! “

  Ashton takes off her wet shirt, shorts and panties to reveal her pregnant body. She stands naked in the rain, water running down her face and breasts. Lights shoot through the sky around her. A steady beam of light lands next to her. Grass under the beam starts to tug back and forth and soon ends up floating in the air. Ashton reaches for the light and feels an upward pull toward the sky. She steps to the light. The light surrounds her body and slowly raises her nude form into the night skies. Rain drops are displaced by the yellow light beam. She looks down and sees the farm getting further and further away. She normally would be afraid of heights, but can’t help but smirking. She wonders what someone would think if they saw her nude, pregnant self, floating in midair. As she’s pulled further up, her throat dries. She’s nervous and excited. She hasn’t stopped thinking about the spaceship, the abduction or Orion since that amazing night. Bobby Darren, or any other fantasy couldn’t hold a candle up to the reality that was Orion.

  Ashton sees a metallic structure in the clouds above her. A pattern of light moves in a rapid order around it. It’s an Alien ship. The beam of light is emitting from a trap door underneath it. By some unseen force, she’s pulled through the trap door and into a large room. Her nude body stays suspended in midair even after the trap door closes. The lights surround her body. She’s about two feet on the floor. A familiar figure walks into the room from a sliding metallic door. It’s Orion.

  “You’re not a dream. You are real,” Ashton says with a tear. She puts her hand to her belly. “It’s yours, Orion. I’m yours.”

  The giant, muscular nude figure walks toward her. His skin fluctuates between iridescent colors and a mirror-like surface. His body form is perfect. He’s like a moving statue.

  “I craved you. I missed you,” says Orion. He moves his hands over her floating body. They are huge and comforting. His hands go over her soft skin, down her belly. He puts his hand behind her head to pull her in for a kiss. Blood rushes through her body. The kiss is passionate and familiar. Familiar like they’ve kissed in a past life. His lips taste sweet. She bites his bottom lip. He slowly moves away to spin her levitating body around. Her naked back and curvy bottom are exposed to him.

  He pulls her toward him. She feels his rippled chest against her back and his hardened cock against her ass. He reaches around to feel her ample breasts as he kisses down her neck. Her nipples are hard and tender to the touch. His other hand slides down her belly, then her thighs.

  “I love you,” Ashton says, while taking in every feeling and every touch.

  “I need you,” Orion responds, as he sucks harder on her nude neck, pushing away her wet red hair. He reaches down her thighs between her legs and realizes it’s not just her hair that’s wet.

  She can’t contain how horny he makes her. She wants to feel and experience every part of him. His fingers tease her clit in rhythmic, circular motions, increasing in intensity. Her back arches as she grinds her soft ass on his hardened member. He slides a finger deep inside her. Her body trembles with excitement. She flexes her legs back and forth over his finger. She reaches back to feel how hard he is. She slides her hand up and down around his thickness.

  He gently bends her over and caresses her cheeks. He slips himself inside of her from behind. An intense pressure fills her. She loves feeling him inside of her. He pulls slowly out, then back in, building up his speed. One hand is around her waist and the other’s still teasing her clit. She can feel every inch of his shaft thrusting over and over. With each thrust she moans and screams until finally … an explosion of feelings and ecstasy shoot though every part of her body. Her body shakes and spasms as aftershocks of joy hit her.

  Orion lowers her to the ground and pulls a silver fabric-like material from a slot in the wall to cover her nude body with. He holds her tightly. He’s never been like this with anyone here on earth, or on his home planet. His customs were much different and less personal. This was all foreign to him, but he loved feeling this delicate flower next to him. It was forbidden in every way possible, but he didn’t care. He didn’t want to spend another day without her.

  Laying in bliss, Ashton says nothing. She slowly catches up on her breathing. Sweat forms down her body, and her lovers embrace only heats her more. She didn’t know if she’d ever feel him again.

  Orion kisses her neck and whispers into her ear. “I don’t want you to ever leave.”

  Ashton turns around to kiss his lips. She looks into his reflective eyes. “I don’t know where your home is. I don’t know what’s next, but I don’t care, as long as it’s with you.”

  Orion holds her tight.

  “And our baby.”

  “Yes, our baby.” Ashton rubs her belly. “Do I need to pack some clothes?” Ashton ask as she looks under the reflective sheet at her naked self.

  The metallic ship hovering in the clouds turns invisible with only a pattern of lights remaining. A mechanical whirring builds up and then explodes. The ship darts away leaving a trail of lights to catch up with it. Ashton looks forward to her new adventure and her new love a few galaxies away.

  Faith runs out to the porch just in time to see the light of the ship taking off. She now knows for a fact that her sister was telling the truth about everything. She shakes her head back and forth laughing to herself.

  “That slut. Hooking up with the first Alien that sweeps her off her feet.” Faith jokes to herself before letting a tear drop fall from her eye. She whispers to the sky “Love you sis. I’m going to miss you. I hope you found your knight in shining armor after all.”

  Forceful Attraction

  Chapter 1

  Starting at a new school can be very nerve-racking. I had a really long week trying to prepare for everything, and the cost of new books was making me wish that I had never started this in the first place. I was confident in what I could do and I wanted to learn but somehow this first week had me questioning all my abilities and my reasons for being where I was. Did I really want to start all over in a new place, new university and a new life? I was more stressed than I had ever been in my life and all I wanted was to relax a bit.

  Very few people seemed to be paying attention to the man standing in the middle of the room, telling us about all the things that we need to do to even be considered students. He wasn’t bad, he was actually kind of funny even and he tried to make us feel comfortable and welcome. He was a middle aged guy born and raised in the US, with a bit of a patriotic mindset.
