“If you want your foreign girl to live, you will lie with me,” she says.
“It’s impossible.” I shake my head firmly.
“Then your foreign girl dies!”
“No!”
“Then you have already made your choice.” Mother tree lets out a shrill laugh.
A sudden brightness overwhelms the darkness. In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere transforms. What used to be a dingy lair is now a beautiful garden robust with golden roses, smooth stone paths, and gleaming greenery. Where there had been horrendous effigies, stands one tall fountain with a statue of a bronzed woman that has water pouring from her copper breast. It is a sight to behold, but none as glorifying as the damsel who stands before me in the same place where Mother tree had been. I take a step back from the strange woman even though I would really love to touch her silky smooth skin.
“Who are you?” I ask, alarmed.
“The real question, Erien, is who are you?” Her voice has the same whispery feel as Mother tree’s.
The strange woman encircles me, strutting one long smooth leg in front of the other. She is clad in a body tight flowing dress with a bodice made of the finest silk thread. The lower part of her dress has two slits that almost reach her navel, showing off her bare feet. She has no shoes on. I find the sight of her soles alluring.
“Where is Mother tree?” I ask, finding myself enthralled by the most beautiful face I have ever seen.
“She is I and I am she,” her gorgeous owlish round eyes lock into mine.
Her eyes are still much larger than her nose and mouth yet it makes her appear much more appealing in a strange way. She is twice as tall as Mother tree was, and a hundredfold more beautiful, yet I know that I am staring at Mother tree. That doesn’t keep me from feeling a hot arousal rising in me. I should have known all this while that Mother tree is a powerful witch. It is no wonder that her lair was so deadly to ordinary folk.
“How?” I mutter.
“Your thoughts are in the wrong place, my love.” She draws near me and gently brushes her soft lips against my neck.
Her bold flowery scent corrupts my senses in the same way Mother tree’s horrible smell had affected me. Instantly, I forget where I am or who I am. All I can think about is her and how I want to take her. She encourages me when she embraces me from behind and with her free hand sneaks her fingers down my torso. My body stiffens.
“This is wrong,” I say, even though I do nothing to stop her hand from fondling me.
Her hot breath tickles my ears. “Do you really love this foreign girl?” She asks.
My breath comes in quick successions. I have never felt so aroused in my life. There is a powerful force working inside of me and I can’t stop it, I don’t want to.
“With all my heart.” I let out a moan. Her hand is warm against my cool body. It makes the friction she puts on me even more sensual.
“You love her and no other?” Her tongue teases my ear.
“Yes.” I no longer know what I am saying. All I know is I want to please the woman who is fondling me.
“Then why are you touching me?” she teases.
I stop. For a moment I feel lost. I have turned to her and only then do I realize that my hand is on her soft round breast. Her pink nipples point at me, accusing. I blink in order to gather my thoughts. For an instant, I remember that I am there for Alice, and not to make love to another. It is clear that this is a test. That thought goes away when the beautiful and younger Mother tree locks her luscious moist lips onto mine. I find myself opening my mouth to her. I fear I have failed the test.
Chapter 42
Alice
The blood in my veins pump hard whilst my heart races. I can see everything, but like a prisoner held behind bars, I can only watch. My dear lover, my prince, and my future husband is having romantic intercourse with a strange woman. Try as I may, I cannot see her face. Her body is perfect. She has big round teats that Erien keeps groping. He can’t get enough of her. It is as if she has cast a spell on him and all he can do is thrust his shaft deep within in her milk-white thighs. He groans in ecstasy and she is in insatiable. She wants more from him and he satisfies her lust. I cringe at the sight of their passionate love-making. I try to shout but Erien can’t hear me. He has forgotten I ever exist.
“Please No!” I awake screaming.
My front hair is stuck to my forehead, wet with sweat. There is perspiration on my cleavage even though I slept nude. Blindly I touch the side of the bed before looking. My worst fear is realized – Erien is gone. He did tell me he was going to get me some help but somehow I can’t shake off the feeling that he has gone off to see his ex.
“I’m being stupid,” I say aloud to myself.
I have been so obsessed with this ex I haven’t even seen. He did mention that she was stunning before, but he called me beautiful too. I bite my pinky finger in worry. I decide to get out of bed. I have been asleep too long and the sickness I have been feeling has left cracks on my lips. Absent-minded, I peel off the dead skin on my lips. I do that until I pull too hard on fresh skin and taste blood on my tongue.
“Damnit!”
I leave my lips alone, then take cover under the blankets and move to the window. It is odd that I haven’t seen the outside since arriving on the planet of Solasis – the home of my lover Erien. It hadn’t been my choice to come. Oh, the foolish things we do for love. Every second I feel like the air will suffocate me if the never setting sun doesn’t scorch me first with its rays.
Huddled in the blanket, I move across the gold-furnished room and toward the balcony. I stand behind the translucent blue drapes because I am reluctant to go outside. Even if I am buried in my blanket, I fear that the rays may smite me and make me sick again. I turn my gaze to the door hoping that Erien would walk in. He doesn’t. I turn my attention back to the balcony, feeling the smoothness of the curtains that are the only barrier between me and the outside world. Though glaringly bright, it is magnificently beautiful outside. The streets are lined with houses that twinkle like precious jewels. I would give anything to see them closely.
The sight in the vicinity is also a wonder to behold but quite fearsome. The wide space beyond Erien’s room is shadowed by menacing effigies, the worst of all being a huge ugly figure of a woman with snakes for hair and her hands branching Erien’s balcony to another opposite his room. I wonder whose room that is.
In sudden alarm, I spy a face devoid of emotion staring at me from the other balcony. I had been so lost in my reverie that it was now too late to hide. The man looking at me was a Soleroid, he was tall but shorter than Erien, his face was broad and he had a strong jaw that made his look more stubborn. He wasn’t handsome in any particular way however, his demeanor showed that he commanded power. My blue gaze locked into his copper eyes.
“Oh no,” I mouth and quickly hide behind the curtains. My mind keeps racing. “Someone has seen me. Someone has seen me.” My heart thunders. After a few heartbeats, I dare to peep outside again. The Soleroid is gone.
With relief, I get to my knees so as to kneel back to my bed. I can’t have anyone see me before Erien introduces me to his family. Once I believe I am out of sight, I stand again and walk to the bed. I imagine that the Soleroid man who saw me couldn’t have really seen me considering that I am covered in the blanket from head to toe. I stop to take a deep painful breath.
My throat is dry and I am reminded of the horrible thirst I feel. If only Erien could come back sooner. For lack of food, my body is craving his seed in my belly. His touch gives me strength. I wish someone could touch me. I must have wished amiss because suddenly the blanket is yanked from my body with brute force. As I had just awakened from a rough love session with Erien, I am completely nude. I hope my Prince has returned.
A small gasp escapes from my throat. I swirl in time to see the same man I spied on the other balcony. His cold emotionless eyes are on me. I freeze under his scrutinizing gaze. I feel a tingle in my skin that lets
me know that the rays are getting to me. I make to grab the blanket but the Soleroid keeps it out of my reach. My breath has quickened in desperate fear and so my chest rises and drops quickly, bringing attention to my perky breast. The man walks closer to me.
“You are not Soleroid,” the man says in a flat tone. His voice is husky and commanding. I want to answer but words get stuck in my throat.
I stumble back to get away from him. In my bid, I stumble and fall flat on my back onto the bed. His eyes immediately drop to my body. He seems unaffected by my nakedness though he is clearly fascinated by what he sees. He draws nearer to me, I try to shun him and yet my body betrays me. I am frozen with fright. This man is the first Soleroid I have encountered on the planet. I don’t know what they are like. I am afraid that he will hurt me.
The Soleroid is not afraid of me. Even though I keep darting glances to the door, he doesn’t let his gaze slip from me. He is confident even as he pulls his body over me, leans his face against mine, and then lusciously slides his long forked tongue against my skin.
“You are foreign,” he states in matter-of-fact.
My body is shaking like a leaf. If this plain-faced powerful man decides to take me right now, there is nothing I can do to stop him. And what if Erien burst in right at this moment, would he think that I was a slut? Who is this man? Thoughts rummaged my brain. Meanwhile, the Soleroid shared none of my concern. He was too distracted touching my body all over as he examines my features.
“Don…Don’t touch me,” I manage a small rasp.
He gives me a sharp look as if he is surprised that I can speak at all.
“I am King. I touch what I want,” he tells me.
I squirm and bite my lip to keep myself from screaming. He is too strong and I am too weak to fight back. His fingers dexterously move down to my navel exploring. I wriggle in protest but he has me pinned down. I wonder if the same course of events would have followed if he had found me dressed. Oh, why did I have to be naked? I am certain it is my nudity that gave him leave to touch me as he liked. I never bother to ask Erien if women were respected in Solasis. His body weighs down on me. I am suffocating. If this Soleroid takes off his clothes to have me, I swear I will scream. I bite my tongue harder when I feel his middle finger teasing the little bud between my legs. I am about to burst into tears when suddenly he stops. He removes himself from me.
“Put on something decent,” he says at last.
The joy that overwhelms me makes me want to kiss him. He won’t hurt me, I know for certain now. I quickly snatch the nearest garb and cover myself. I am still shaking like a leaf.
Chapter 43
Alice
The Soleroid man steadied me with his strong on my shoulder. He meant to reassure me but his mere touch sent electricity through my body. I do not know how someone could channel kind and cruel energy at the same time. It is overwhelming.
“Foreign girl, I didn’t mean to scare you,” he says. He sounds sincere.
“You said you were King, are you Erien’s father?” My voice returns to me.
I stare at the gallantly dressed Soleroid trying to find the resemblance. There is little to be seen besides the same aura of power they bear. Besides, he may be of the same age with Erien if not a few years older. He did say he was the king so he could only be the father. Maybe Soleroids never grow old, I imagine.
“I am his brother. Kravis Heluka.”
The one who married Erien’s former lover, I am about to say but I bite my tongue. I know for certain that Erien hates Kravis. He was the reason that Erien was banished to Earth. Well, I suppose that I should be thanking Kravis for bringing my prince into my life. A short silence passes between us.
“Why did you touch me?” I ask.
“I was simply curious. You are the first foreign girl I have seen.”
“How do you know I am not from Solasis?”
Kravis scoffs in response. He must think I am so dumb. It is quite clear; my eyes are too blue to belong to a Soleroid, I am a great deal smaller than them, and quite evidently, I do not have minuscule scales on my smooth pale skin.
Erien’s brother ignores my question and asks me difficult one instead, “I found you wet. Correct me if I err, yet I know that women of any kind only get wet when aroused.”
I bite my tongue. I didn’t realize I was wet, but how couldn’t I be? He was touching me all over and I was missing Erien. I feel a hot flush then warm liquid ooze between my thighs. I cross my legs. I am aroused, even my breasts betray me.
When I don’t answer, he asks in a sultry voice that is half mocking, “Foreign woman, do you find me attractive?”
I tense up. Kravis is too direct for my liking. I cannot say I find him attractive as a sexual partner but something about the way he walks, talks and stares make me want to know what he is thinking.
“I am of Earth,” I say instead.
“And how is it that you find yourself naked in his room. Is this truly the day I dreaded? The day my brother secretly returns from hell with a harlot in tow?”
I grit my teeth. “I am neither a harlot nor from hell.”
“You are a feisty one. It’s no wonder my brother brought you along… we’ll see how long this fairytale lasts.” He lets out a laugh without smiling. His eyes are not smiling either. It seems he is upset to learn of Erien’s return.
“You stole his lover from him once; don’t think you could do it again,” I threaten him
“As if a woman doesn’t have a mind of her own; my queen Sasha had no real affections for him, only childish play. You will do well not to mention such nonsense in her presence. I am sure she will want to meet you as soon as he makes your presence public if ever he gets over the shame of bringing a foreign girl on such holy land.”
I want to slap Kravis though I would dare not. He could so easily pin me to the bed and teach me a lesson with his strong body, and afterward throw me over the balcony if only to spite Erien.
“What do you want from me?” His cold demeanor is frightening me.
He sneers. “I don’t know yet, but I will know soon enough,” then as an afterthought he adds, “Your body is alluring.” His gaze strips me once more. I hug myself. If only Erien would come and save me. I am not sure how long I can hold myself together.
As if bored with me, Kravis turns his gaze to the balcony.
“Do not mention our chance encounter with my brother. It will be better for all of us if our meeting is as natural as possible, then we will see whether he is going to hide you or put you on a pedestal.”
“He would never hide me!”
Kravis cocks his head. “Gain over loyalty; the true nature of Soleroids,” he says.
I lift my chin, defiant. I do not know what he means yet I do not want to look stupid. Kravis bows briskly, “Welcome to Solasis,” he says and takes his leave.
I stand paralyzed.
Chapter 44
Erien
The beauty, the arousal, the lust; it all melted away the moment I poured my seed over her beautiful navel. A powerful spell of lust had arrested me, almost to the point of madness. I had to have her and now that I had, I felt disgusted to the pit of my stomach.
“What have I done?” I shouted, pushing Mother tree away from me.
Anger wells in me. Perhaps returning to my home planet was an error. How could I ever imagine that the oldest Soleroid is kind and true? She is the worst of all. She carries the bane of gain before loyalty. How could I forget? My thoughts torment me. Poor Alice, will she ever forgive me?
In that very instant, the light disappears along with the beautiful girl whom I’d just shagged her brains out. In her place stands the same ugly Mother tree with her awfully large eyes, barky skin, tiny mouth, and that horrible stench that follows her everywhere. I let out a sigh of dismay. Mother tree spotted my weakness and used it to her advantage. I can still feel the wetness on my shaft. I’d have to wash before returning to Alice.
“You wanted your little foreign girl t
o live and now she will,” Mother tree says.
“How?” I am physically strong but my spirit has been battered.
“You paid your price, I have had my gain and now you will have your girl. Leave it to me.”
“I will not bring her here!” I am defiant. Mother tree is the worst of them all. I’d rather send Alice back to Earth than bring her before the crone. She has other ideas.
“She mustn’t come here. Go straight to the queen and ordain her as your future bride. Introduce her as Queen of Earth or some stupid title!”
“Loyalty before gain,” I say aloud.
Mother tree slaps my hand. “Has sand gotten in your ears?”
