  Hot Alien

  A Romance Novel

  By: Scarlett Romance

  Chapter One

  Hailey Dylan swiped her forearm over her brow. It was sweltering outside, and it only seemed to be getting hotter. Sweat beaded on her brow and dribbled down into her eyes. She blinked rapidly, trying to get the sting out.

  She’d never felt so gross in her entire life. A shower would be in order the first chance she got. That wouldn’t be anytime soon though. She had work to do. The world was depending on her and her team to come up with answers.

  Inhaling sharply, she glanced around. Steam billowed out of the rocky terrain, and lava flowed through a chute to her left. The scary thing was, it wasn’t much cooler outside of the volcano. There was a twenty-degree difference, which was a lot, yes, but when the temperatures were well over one hundred and unsafe for humans it didn’t matter anymore.

  She shuddered thinking of the poor souls who lived in the Southern United States. If it was this hot in Alaska of all places, how hot was it there? Were they even alive? Shelters were being set up all over the world to help relieve people from the heat. The power grids were straining to keep up with the over abundance of power required and people were forced to seek shelter underground. The world had turned into a dangerous, unlivable place overnight it seemed.

  She’d already been out in the heat entirely too wrong, but the Earth was in trouble, and it was her job to figure out a solution. If she didn’t, well, she didn’t want to think about that. The temperature, the environment, if her and the other scientists around the globe didn’t figure it out, the Earth would be gone in a few short weeks. Well, not the Earth, just all the living creatures.

  Her parents and brother were here in Alaska working alongside her. She was thankful in the chaos that they were all close. But with catastrophic temperatures looming, the family had no choice but to divide the work between them and split up. She was exhausted but refused to stop until she had a solution. failure was not an option. They would find a way. They had to.

  Hailey sighed taking a sip of water. The luke warm liquid slid down her parched throat and she peered around again. She had to be missing something. All of her research suggested that this area was the epicenter of the event. It wasn’t the hottest point on Earth by any means, but her machines had gone haywire when she’d tried to dig a little deeper. Hence why she was braving the stifling weather to check it out personally. The volcano she was in showed no signs that it was going to erupt, yet the activity here was abnormal. It baffled her. She’d never seen anything like it.

  The only way to get a better understanding would be to take some soil samples. Maybe there was something in the ground or the environment that was causing it. Whatever it was, the sooner she figured it out the better. She crouched down and dropped her sack on the rocks. Once she finished up here she could head back up to the surface and enjoy the balmy eighty degrees of her trailer. A few months ago, she’d have been complaining that was too hot. Not today. Not after being out in the hundred-and-twelve degree heat for a few hours.

  She took another sip of her water and shook the bottle. Damn, she was almost out. Looks like conserving the last of her water was a top priority. A hot spring was on her way back, but the gases from it would kill her. She’d have to make due.

  Hailey sucked in a deep breath and dug through her pack before hauling out her kit. She set to work digging and collecting her samples, all the while thinking cool thoughts. An ice bath would feel amazing right now. Perhaps she’d do that when she returned to the trailer. She could empty out the ice trays and fill the tub with cold water. Smiling at her silliness, she screwed the caps back on her vials and stood up.

  A wave of nausea and dizziness struck her, causing her to double over. She gulped in a breath of air as she stumbled and fell on the unforgiving rocks. Her knees burned with the contact and she groaned, placing a hand on her head. The world whirled around her violently and she gagged.

  She’d been out in the heat too long. Her vision darkened as she tumbled to the ground. No one was going to find her. No one would risk coming out in this heat. Stay awake. Stay awake. Her vision tunneled and everything went black.

  ***

  Voices floated around her and Hailey breathed in a deep breath as something cool washed over her face. Her eyes peered open, and she glanced up into crimson eyes. A woman worried over her, dabbing something cold over her temple.

  “She’s awake,” the woman called over her shoulder.

  The gravel crunched around her as someone else approached. “Is she all right,” a man asked with the deepest voice she’d ever heard.

  A chill rippled through her at the sound of it and she craned her head trying to see the source of the sexy voice. She squinted, but still couldn’t identify the source.

  “I think so,” the woman replied.

  A shadow loomed over her and someone stooped down in front of her. Hailey blinked, trying to focus her vision. Her eyes refused to focus at first, but she continued to stare until he came into focus. The man was breathtaking. His chiseled jaw was set and his blonde hair was long and pulled into a ponytail at the nape of his neck. Like the woman, his eyes were red too, but they reminded her of a blood moon. They were beautiful. His ears came to a point at the top like an elf, and she stifled a laugh. Clearly she was still dreaming. At least if she was going to die, she was having a pleasant dream.

  “Let’s get her home,” the man said positioning an arm under her head. In one quick swoop he lifted her in the air.

  Hailey giggled, snuggling into his strong embrace. Muscles rippled against her cheek and she closed her eyes contently. There certainty was worse ways to go.

  “She seems to have taken a liking to you, brother,” the woman commented as the world began to rock around her.

  “So she has,” he replied, peering down at her with his mesmerizing eyes.

  “Perhaps it is fate that we stumbled upon her on our walk,” the woman whispered.

  “Let’s get her home, and out of this heat,” he insisted.

  Hailey held his gaze for a long moment before she drifted back into oblivion.

  ***

  Hailey stretched out, running her hands across the silky sheets without opening her eyes. The bed beneath her was soft, and the fabric cool. She must have died and gone to heaven because she hadn’t felt anything this nice in weeks.

  “She’s coming to,” an oddly familiar feminine voice called out.

  Footsteps padded toward her and she opened her eyes and sat up. She lies in a large bed, white sheets pooled around her waist. A golden gown hugged her slender frame, and she gasped realiz
ing she wasn’t wearing her bra or her panties beneath it. Someone undressed her. Who?

  She scurried out of the bed and glanced around the lavish room. Sterling silver furniture lined the walls. A flowing white curtain blew in the breeze, sending the smell of sea salt into the room. The opening was large, big enough she could escape if needed.

  “Don’t be afraid,” the deep voiced male said.

  Hailey spun on her heel and squeaked when her eyes landed on the tall man. He was well over six feet tall, and she hadn’t imagined his blood moon eyes. If anything they seemed brighter now. Was he on drugs? What was he doing with her? Where were her clothes?

  Hailey opened her mouth, trying to decide which question she should ask first. “Where am I?” Good. Starting with the basics was always a good idea.

  The man shifted on his feet, causing Hailey to growl. He might be gorgeous, but she wasn’t about to be a missing person’s case.

  “Where am I?” she demanded, her voice rising.

  “Perhaps you’d like to have a seat first,” he said motioning to the bed. “I’m Jerico.”

  She swallowed hard and wrapped her arms around herself. Like hell she’d take a seat. What was going on?

  “You are safe in our city,” he told her, raising a hand as if to caution her.

  He still wasn’t answering her question. “Where am I?” she growled. Was it too much for him to tell her?

  Jerico licked his lips and sighed. “Atlantis.”

  Hailey frowned. What? “Atlantis?” she repeated slowly. “Like the casino in Vegas or the Caribbean Island resort?” Were there more? Those were the only ones that came to mind. But they were thousands of miles away from where she’d been. How long was she out? Hell, was she still sleeping?

  “No. Atlantis. The Lost City.”

  Hailey quirked her brow up in question. What in the world? “The fictional Lost City of Atlantis?” she said enunciating for clarification. She had to know how big of a nut this guy was. If he was crazy she needed to get out of here. The faster the better.

  Jerico nodded, causing her to scoff. She stomped toward the window. Was this guy on drugs? It would explain his weird eye color.

  “I wouldn’t do that,” Jerico warned, but made no movement to stop her.

  Hailey brushed past him and threw the white curtains out of her way, glancing out the window. A yelp bubbled up her throat and her stomach dropped. Stone buildings lined the streets, some towards the center of town were made of gold and silver. Cobblestone paths wound throughout, and people walked around the city in silky tunics and togas. Beyond the town was a vast, blue ocean.

  Hailey inhaled a sharp breath. She’d visited a lot of places, but had never seen anything like this before. Where was she?

  Chapter Two

  Jerico crossed his hands behind his back, waiting for the beautiful woman to come to her senses. It was a lot to take in and he suspected she might have some questions. He watched the human woman with curiosity.

  Over the years, he’d viewed several of them, but none were as gorgeous as she was. Her long, wavy red hair was mussed sexily around her round pale face. The golden dress she wore clung to her curvy frame perfectly, accenting her plump breasts.

  Her shoulders rose and fell rapidly as she drew in sharp, uneven breaths. He wanted to reach out, to touch her, but wasn’t sure how receptive she would be. If he were going to gain her trust, it wouldn’t do good to frighten her. She was in a new world, and that wasn’t the worst of it.

  She whirled around and marched toward him with her finger outstretched, pointing it at him accusingly. “What trick is this?”

  “It’s not a trick,” he answered honestly. “We are in Atlantis. My sister and I found you this morning. You were unconscious.”

  Something flickered over her features for a moment before her face hardened again.

  “I understand your confusion,” he continued before she could yell again. “I can explain. As I’m sure you’re aware the Earth’s core temperature is increasing rapidly.” She swallowed but didn’t say anything. “That’s because human’s time on Earth is nearing its end. In a month’s time, all life will perish.”

  “No,” she said shaking her head adamantly. “That’s not going to happen. I found the epicenter. My samples, where are they? I have to get them to the lab.” Her eyes flicked to the room, scouring the surroundings for what he assumed was the brown satchel she’d had next to her.

  “Your actions are noble…” he paused wondering what her name was.

  “Hailey,” she huffed filling in the blank for him.

  He appreciated her determination, but he didn’t want her getting her hopes up. Her best option was to stay in Atlantis until after the event. “Hailey, your actions to save your world are noble, but it won’t be enough. There isn’t anything you, or anyone else can do. I’m happy to return your belongings to you, but it won’t change anything.”

  “No. I refuse to accept that.” She scrunched her face up and blew out a breath. “Why am I listening to you? How do I get out of here? I have to get back to my lab.”

  “I can show you the way out,” he explained quietly. Though he would regret seeing her go. It wasn’t his right to keep her. If she chose to return to her world, he wouldn’t stop her. “Though, we must make haste. The tide will be rising soon.”

  She motioned with her arm. “Lead the way.”

  “Very well,” he said, bowing his head to her. His heart pinched as she stormed past him. He wanted her to stay, but holding her hostage wouldn’t gain him anything. Perhaps finding the human wasn’t fate as his sister had thought.

  ***

  Hailey’s eyes widened as she took in the scenic street. Her shoes crunched on the cobblestone path as she followed Jerico through the village. She’d insisted on changing into her own clothes, wanting to return home in her belongings. Instead, the garb made her stand out amongst the sharply dressed pedestrians.

  As she passed by a group of children, they stopped to stare at her, their red eyes shining brightly in the sunlight. She stifled a gasp by covering her mouth with her hand.

  Her eyes swept over the pedestrians in the street. She hadn’t made eye contact with any of them until now. Everyone’s eyes were crimson. At first she’d thought Jerico was high on drugs, but now she wasn’t so sure. Who would give their children narcotics? There was no way everyone in the village was wearing contacts.

  “What’s wrong with their eyes?” she hissed as they made their way out of the village.

  “Nothing. That’s how our race looks,” Jerico explained gently.

  “Race? No human has red eyes,” she scoffed. Was it too much to ask for the simple truth out of him.

  “I never said we were human, Hailey.”

  Hailey huffed and spun around. She’d had enough. This was insane, and while he might live in la la land she didn’t. “Okay, look, buddy. I don’t know what game you’re playing, but I’m trying to save the Earth. I’m a world-renowned scientist and my work could mean the difference between life and death. Stop goof balling around and take me back to where you found me,” she ordered as she placed her hands on her hips for emphasis. The longer she spent here the less time she had to devise a plan.

  “The tide will be rising soon. We must hurry if I am to take you back,” Jerico told her.

  Hailey shook her head. Hadn’t she just said they’d needed to move their butts?

  She jerked her hand in the direction of the volcano. “Lead the way.”

  They continued their trek in silence, and Hailey let out a long thankful breath. She didn’t know what this guy was smoking, but she’d heard more than enough of his nonsense. This whole town seemed to be loony.

  Toll bells sounded, drawing her from her thoughts. The sound was melodic, and she paused to listen to the beautiful sound.

  “We’re too late,” Jerico said quietly.

  “Too late for what?” Hailey groaned, picking up her pace. S
he wanted to get home to her family. They must be worried sick about her by now. She was supposed to check in hours ago, and her family always looked out for each other.

  “To reach the exit. Do you see that path ahead. The bells warn of the tide rising. We won’t make it,” he warned.

  Hailey shot him a frown. Was he nuts? The ocean was nowhere near where they were headed. Even if the tide rose, it wouldn’t come in that far.

  “Hailey. Stop, please,” he pleaded. He reached out and clasped her wrist, pulling her to a halt.

  Heat shot through her at the contact and she leaned into him despite herself. His warm breath ghosted over her face as he spoke. “I cannot allow you to go any further. It isn’t safe, and I don’t want to see you hurt.”

  Hailey opened her mouth to protest, but before she could the sound of waves crashing drew her attention behind her. Water cascaded over the path as two waves collided. The spray rose into the air and the light breeze blew droplets onto her skin.

  That wasn’t possible. How had the ocean rose that far in a matter of a minute. “I don’t understand,” she wondered aloud.

  “It’s been sporadic lately. Our scientist guess it’s because of the stability of the Earth,” Jerico explained.

  Hailey shook her head. She still didn’t understand.

  “Prophecies predict that an unprecedented heat wave will hit the Earth in exactly twenty-three days from today. The effects will be catastrophic. At that time our species will be able to repopulate the Earth,” Jerico explained.

  “You know this is crazy,” Hailey muttered. It sounded absurd. There was a simple solution to the problem, she just had to find it.

  “The prophecy says that anyone who can find the opening to Atlantis can be saved and join our species when we retake our home.”

  “Yeah, and I’m the Queen of England,” she deadpanned.
