“Gain before loyalty, it is.”
“You weren’t like this before, love has made you weak!” she scolds.
“I am not weak Mother tree… you are the cruel one. I came to you because I thought you’d understand. You are the one who was in love once-” I wanted to remind her of her tragic love story, of her beloved king who was killed while she was dancing with him. Mother tree only scoffs.
“I was never in love with that king. His power was glorious but he was a glutton. He got killed and jeopardized my future as Queen of Solasis. Good thing I found a way to outlive such treachery even though it’s in this horrid marsh. It is rather comfy.”
“Gain before loyalty.”
“Now that is a true Soleroid speaking,” she approves, and then she adds, “Now for your sake, present that foreign girl as a wealthy aristocrat to the royals and the realm. It will make you more admired than your brother Kravis, and then you can win the throne from him.”
I mutter in disgust. No wonder I felt happier when I was banished to Earth. What folly made me ever want to return back home? Now I have slept with a haggard crone whilst my future bride is waiting for me, alone in my bedchamber. More, Mother tree whom I’d believed was wise and kind, advising me to usurper my own brother.
“I will not lie about Alice. I never have and will not start now.”
“Then send her back. Send her back to the vermin she crawled out from because as soon as any Soleroid know she is of no birth, she will be thrown in the gutters anyway.”
I feel a lump in my throat. No matter how much I hate Mother tree, I know what she is saying is true. I hadn’t thought this through. I refuse to bring shame on my name, I refuse to let my brother gloat over me, and I refuse to allow anyone harm Alice. I feel a new resolve build in me. I will present Alice and prove to the entire planet that love is not weakness, it is strength, and love will always triumph over gain.
It is as if Mother tree can read my thoughts. She lets out an eerie moan. “I know what you are feeling for that girl and I tell you, it is a dangerous poison. This love makes you weak, it makes you a slave… can’t you see, all your thoughts, your body, and your life now revolves around her? ”
“You are wrong!”
“There is a reason a bridge between Solasis and Hell was never created. She is a demon and her love will drive you mad…”
I’ve heard enough. I turn on my heels. If I have to break through the lair’s wall, I will do it. Mother tree screams behind me in a horribly shrill voice. Suddenly I realize that she is raging with jealousy. Though she is ancient, she had always admired me. I am the only male, let alone Soleroid, who ever came to her lair. All this time she lusted for me but was unable to find leverage on me. Now she has.
Even as the exit miraculously opens to me, her shrill voice follows me. My groin is still sore from the intercourse I had with her. I clench my fist as I walk out. I swear one day she will pay in kind.
Chapter 45
Erien
It was difficult for me to return to my room. How can I face Alice and lie to her face? And what will she say if I ever told her that I had to shag a century old crone for her sake? And what if Alice doesn’t get well at all? Timidly, I open the door and enter my luscious room. In my hand, I bear a tray of Soleroid delicacies. It is about time she ate.
I enter and set the tray on the bedside, however, Alice is not in it. I panic a minute. I know I was gone a long time but I didn’t imagine that she could leave the room. What if someone saw her and took her away? Did something bad happen? I am about to lose my cool before a sigh of relief washes over me.
And there she is, standing on the balcony and looking out on the glittering streets below. Her stark silhouette against the light is a beautiful hourglass shape. I quietly sneak up and hug her from behind. She is a bit startled when I bury my lips in her neck. I am over-enthusiastic in hopes that she doesn’t smell guilt on me. I bring her back inside the room where no one would chance a sight of her.
“What are you doing?” I ask.
“Solasis is beautiful.” There is a dreamy touch to her voice.
“No one is supposed to see you,” I say to her, in a coarse tone.
“I didn’t know.”
“Now you know.” I am grumpy.
She pouts at me. Realizing that I’ve been too harsh, I urge her towards the food. I introduce Soleroid delicacies to her. On the tray is a round yellow fruit that has hard skin but tastes like an ordinary melon; I know that Alice will like it because she is quite thirsty. There is also a glass full of a white liquid that is extracted from a precious flower, it has a milkfish look to it, and on the tray is also a batch of home-baked biscuits made of local brown grain. It was the best food I could find without being discovered. I hate skulking around my own home but I want everyone to be taken unawares when I finally emerge with my future bride.
In a loving manner, I place Alice on my lap. She wriggles her bottoms over my hardening crotch and picks on the biscuit. I watch her chew it, studying her features slowly. The color has returned to her cheeks and her eyes are brighter; even her lips look moist. Did it work? I can see she is struggling to chew the grainy biscuit. She takes it down with the whitish flower extract and winces. She is not used to the acidic taste and yet she downs it all the same. Clearly, she is getting stronger. I want her to realize it by herself so I don’t tell her.
“Thanks babe,” Alice says to me. I smile at her. She brings a biscuit to my mouth. “You want some?”
I shake my head yet take the biscuit in my mouth all the same. “We Soleroids don’t eat to survive, we get our energy from our suns.” I am bragging.
“That’s nice,” she says in a quiet voice.
“This is tasty.” I crack the hard yellow fruit open for her.
She takes a reluctant bite from it. It is clear that she hates the food; nonetheless, she needs to eat it in order to be strong. I wrap my arm around her waist. I can’t help but notice that her body is tense. I can’t help but wonder if there is something she is not telling me just as there is something I am not telling her.
I don’t know what triggered it, however, at the next bite of the fruit, Alice burst out into tears. It was so unexpected that I was taken aback. I know she has been having an emotional build-up but I didn’t think it was that serious. Her body shakes violently as she tries and fails to contain her emotions.
“Don’t cry… I didn’t mean to shout.” I embrace her tightly.
It is a moment before she regains enough composure to make a coherent answer.
“It’s not that,” she says.
My brow is creased with worry. Could she know about my intercourse with Mother tree? I don’t know anything else that would push her to tears.
“What is it?” I ask, hesitant.
“I miss home,” she says and my heart drops.
I don’t know what to say to comfort her because I was in the very same position before. Everything in Solasis is different and she must be feeling out of place, sick, and frustrated all the time. I feel bad that she has to go through that. I promised her a good life and this is what she gets. I ponder my next words carefully.
“What home, Alice?”
Alice stops short. She stares at me with her wet blue eyes. Her hair is in her face so I gently remove the stray hair overwhelming her forehead. I bring my lips to the tear on her cheeks. They taste awfully salty. She is a sweet girl and I don’t want her having salty eyes. And then another wave of tears overwhelms her. Her body shakes fervently in her emotional breakdown. She covers her face with her hands and all I can do is hold her.
“Oh Erien, do you have to throw it in my face?” Her words are slurry with emotion. “Of course, I have no actual home on Earth. The last home we shared went up in flames. And the one prior to that was actually more home to lice than it was to me and my alcoholic mother.”
“Shush now. I didn’t mean to upset you.”
“How can I not be upset?” She flays her arms in de
spair. “Look at me. How can you be proud of me? I don’t have a life. I never had one. I have no friends. I have no career.”
“You have me!” Her despair is affecting me.
“That’s all I have. And what if you walk out that door—and even if you don’t, I have you, so what?”
Her riled-up emotions increase my sexual tension. I shove the food tray aside and it crashes to the floor. I drop Alice on the bed, rip her garb apart, and force my lips onto her perky breast. This stops her crying at once. Alice always feels alright when I make love to her. However, I am apprehensive to make love to her when I have just been with another woman. I don’t want her to notice so I lift my head from her. Thankfully she has stopped crying.
“Make love to me,” she purrs; her voice suddenly sexy.
I smirk. “If I start, I won’t be able to stop.”
“Then don’t stop.”
I shake my head, moving my body away from hers. “We are not rabbits. We can’t be making love all the time.”
“We can make love as many times as we want. I count that we are among the lucky few couples who make hot love even after a year together.”
I grimace. I need to put her off. I shouldn’t sleep with her when I have just been with another. I think that will be very unfair and dishonest. If she notices the difference, I will tell her the truth. If not, I will hold my tongue. I refuse to do anything to hurt her. I’ve done enough hurting as it is.
“I think you couldn’t stand me a few months ago.”
“On Earth? It’s your friends I hated.” She flashes me a toothy smile.
“They were not my friends.” I feel defensive.
It makes me angry just to remember how a fraud came to my house pretending to be a rich spoilt aristocrat when all he did was pimp young models into making lewd videos with him. I never told Alice about that either. I realize at once that the secrets I am keeping from my future bride are piling. I shove off the guilt. I did what I had to do, and all I did is purely out of love.
Chapter 46
Erien
Alice gets comfortable. She sprawls her slender body on the bed and lies on her stomach while nibbling on biscuits. Her smooth legs dangle, carefree, in the air. This is the first time I have seen her so relaxed. A thought arrests her and she looks at me, square in the face.
“You didn’t tell me where you went. Did you go to Mother--Mother who?”
“Let’s not talk about this,” I answer curtly.
She gives me a long stare before deciding not to pursue the subject. I love how much she trusts me. I can see it in her eyes. She knows I went out to get help though I am certain she thinks the details will make her feel rather clueless. To avert my attention, Alice spreads open her legs to reveal the pink bud between her thighs.
“Can we talk about this then?” She purrs.
I swallow hard. Alice is very ripe for the taking that I wonder if she has been touching herself while I was gone. I let her know what she has done to me when I drop my pants. My shaft points accusingly at her. My eyes are full of lust for her. It seems my level of arousal has risen beyond normal. I lose control of myself and grip Alice by the waist. My fingers leave marks on her soft white skin. She doesn’t mind.
With a sly finger, Alice presses her skin open in an invitation for me to enter her. My guilt is forgotten. I hoot in amusement. I lift her easily and then slowly guide her down my appendage, feeling every inch of her warmth as I penetrate her. Her vaginal muscles tighten around my bulge. She wraps her hands around my broad neck then pulls herself up and down, grinding on me as if it’s our first time making love.
Alice likes to take control of our lovemaking from time to time but it makes me impatient. I am in charge. I want to control our rhythm, her orgasm and after satisfying her, I want to satisfy myself. I retain control by pinning her against the wall. I am back in charge. I grab her buttocks and charge inside her with a hot fullness. She groans widely when I take her. I kiss her throat while realigning her body to mine so that I can penetrate deeper. She didn’t expect me to be so hungry for her.
“Why do you want me so badly?” She asks, panting and moaning in pleasure.
“I don’t know, you’re sexy,” I whisper in her ear.
The natural smell of her sweat drives me wild. I bite her shoulder and she leaks my ear to encourage me. I don’t need any more encouraging because I thrust myself inside me like a wild animal let loose. Her body jumps with each thrust and I have to pin her to the wall with my hands squeezing her breasts so that her lithe body remain steady. At this point, she is crying both out of pain and pleasure. I warned her I wouldn’t be able to stop.
“You’re so big,” she cries.
“And you’re tight, like the virgin you were when I met you,” my voice is as rough as the rhythm of our bodies.
“Oh Erien,” tears are flooding her face as she approaches a violent orgasm.
“You are mine, Alice. Mine!”
The pleasure is intense and even though my shaft has completely jammed her pleasure hole, she makes to squeeze her fingers next to my pulsating crotch. She is desperate for a climax.
“Your clit is mine! Mine! Don’t let anyone ever touch it... Did anyone touch it, huh, huh?” I ask because I found her moist. I want her to admit she was pleasuring herself while I was gone.
“No! No!” She is crying.
“Don’t lie to me. Someone pleasured you,” I say, each thrust deeper than the last. “Who touched you?” I only want her to admit that she was pleasuring herself because she missed me. I keep insisting while she sobs hysterically. I have never pleasured her to the point of such sobbing. “Tell me who touched you.”
“I can’t,” Alice cries.
“I will fuck your brains out unless you tell me,” I threaten.
Her orgasm is coming but I slow my pace so that she is in misery long enough. She will have to fess up before I give her the orgasm she is desperate for.
“Please don’t.”
“TELL ME! I COMMAND YOU.”
“YOUR BROTHER!” She screams as the violent orgasm comes upon her. I stop suddenly. I didn’t expect to hear that. I swallow, staring hard at her sweat filled face. She is crying softly now. “Your brother came here when you were gone. He just licked my face and touched me a little…”
I remove my throbbing wet shaft from her body. It is hardly believable. Whilst I was under the influence of a witch to get a cure for her, she was in my bedroom with my brother? The horror is clear on my face. It is obvious that she never meant to tell me. The heat of the moment must have taken over her. I stare at her blankly. This is déjà vu; my brother taking my lover away from me. I’d be damned if I don’t kill him. All this while, Alice is pleading but I can’t make sense of any words she says. I don’t want to.
She grabs my hand. “Erien, I didn’t know. He just came in here and grabbed the blankets. He didn’t touch me. He was just curious.”
“He didn’t touch you? Did he or did he not touch you?” I am incensed.
“He just put his hand in me.”
“And you sat there while a man you just met touched you?” I scream. The vein on my temple is pulsating.
“I didn’t know what to do. I swear! I didn’t consummate with your brother. I never would. You were gone too long-”
“So now it’s my fault?”
“No.”
“So if I turn my back a few minutes you will go ahead and marry Kravis?” My tone is accusing.
“No!”
Alice throws herself at me to ease my anger. I shove her away from me. I want to wear my clothes and storm out yet she won’t let me. “Punish me if you have to. Please, don’t be mad at me. I didn’t know what was happening.”
“You let my brother touch you!”
“I didn’t know who he was.”
“So if it was another Soleroid, it would have been fine?”
She bursts into tears. “Don’t be unfair.”
I don’t want to talk anymore. M
y balls are throbbing yet I have lost all appetite for making love to her. I have only come back into the planet and my brother has already marked his territory on Alice. How dare he touch her? How dare she let him touch her? If she that vulnerable or stupid? I am flabbergasted.
Alice knows she is about to lose me. This drives her to desperate measures. She gets down on the bed on all fours. Her backside is perky and pointed towards me. Juices ooze down her thigh. My body is aroused so much that the point of my shaft sticks to my belly like a wet stick but my mind cannot let me go near her.
“Please Erien, I came on this planet for you; only you. I never meant to hurt you. Please…”
