The Artistry of Love (Alien SciFi Romance) (Celestial Mates Book 2)

by C. J. Scarlett

  I didn’t expect this to feel so good. I thought that it would hurt, but instead it felt utterly amazing. I started to moan, crying out loud as I got fucked in both of my holes. Because the tentacles were moist and almost lubricated, it made penetrating my ass so easy. His cock was so big, and he seemed to completely fill me up with every single motion. The other two tentacles seemed to dance against the very tips of my nipples, playing with them and teasing them to the point of hardness. I cried out, feeling as if everything was driving me mad. After a few more thrusts, he started to ruthlessly fuck me, causing me to practically see stars.

  He pushed a tentacle against my clit, the last one that he had. The force of penetration from different fronts, the nipple stimulation, and then this, was enough for me to finally lose it, and that’s when I started to feel it. I arched my back, crying out loud, feeling tears dot my very eyes as I began to press against there, holding myself to him and then releasing hard.

  I shivered, feeling my orgasm practically come out in spurts. It wasn’t just one major orgasm, but rather, so many that I loved it. He then tensed up, shooting his load straight into me, and one of his tentacles in my ass did the same thing.

  I loved it. The sensation of this was unlike anything I expected. I didn’t know that I would like it this much. But then he finished up, pulling out of me and looking at me with a serious expression.

  “Wow. I didn’t think I would enjoy that so much,” he admitted. He seemed almost embarrassed. It was cute.

  “You were amazing. That was… the best goddamn thing I’ve ever experienced,” I said.

  The two of us didn’t really know what to make of this. I mean, friends with benefits would work, but I felt like we were something more.

  “So, do you want to be official?” I asked him.

  “Yes. I want to. I’m worried about taking this chance, sure, but you’ve proven yourself, and honestly, I’ve grown to really like you, Tracey,” he told me with a smile on his face. I blushed, knowing that we both felt the same way.

  “The feeling is mutual,” I finally said.

  Both of us kissed, and I wondered where this might go. I mean, Jives normally wasn’t an affectionate guy, but a part of me wondered if this was about to change, or if things were going to stay the same from here on out.

  Chapter 7

  ~Jives~

  The two of us stayed like this for a long time, and while I was happy, I also felt incredibly nervous. What would we do now? What was next for us? I didn’t know, but I hoped it would all be okay. I walked her down to her car, smiling as I felt her hand touch mine. There was something nice about human contact.

  It was different from typical contact that people on Klanden had. I’d had flings before, but the women were always so rough, only going for a few of the men there, and often, it just didn’t feel right. They were never happy. But, when I looked into her eyes, I could tell that she was happy with what we did. She didn’t seem scared, but rather, she was happy with me, with our lives, with the results of our endeavors. I brought her over to the entrance, and as we stood near her car, she looked at me.

  “You’re serious about this, right? You’re not going to leave me?”

  “I’m serious about this, Tracey. I don’t want to leave you,” I admitted. That was one of the first things I realized.

  I didn’t want to leave her. I felt happy to have her, and it was the first time that I really did feel comfortable with this. I started to smile, and I felt like I could be myself around her. She seemed thankful to hear that.

  “Thank you, Jives. You know, I was worried that you’d never tell me the truth. That you were… too scared to. But you did, and that makes me happy.”

  “I’m glad that I did, Tracey. I definitely feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest. But, I will warn you that I’m not the best lover. I probably will fuck up, but I do care about you a lot,” he said.

  “I know, Jives. And that’s why I’m taking a chance,” she replied.

  My heart felt a strange surge at this point. What was this? I began to embrace her, holding her there. We were so different, and yet, so very much alike. After we parted ways, I went back to the office to get a few things before heading back home to get some work done.

  I was happy to finally get my thoughts together regarding her, but there was still something eating away at me. I don’t know what it was, but it seemed off. A part of me wondered if it was because I finally told her. Maybe it was because of that alien that I saw. I didn’t want to worry too much about it right now, so I went home and slept.

  Over the next couple of weeks, I spent my time both with her, and at the office. She seemed to understand, and when I didn’t answer right away, she left me alone. That was good. I’d been doing a bit of research on what’s been happening, especially with the recent events involving the whole mess at the pier. I did some research on the surveillance footage that I’d been looking at.

  “Why was that here? That experiment?” I said. I knew that it had something to do with Lavvy. Maybe I should just try to find out about some of the aliens that have come in.

  I went over to the office where the recent aliens here have landed. I couldn’t find a single name related to this. So, someone was sneaking them in. This wasn’t good.

  I didn’t know where to go with this next. I mean, I saw it, and I knew that someone was causing trouble, but just who was it? Who could be doing this?

  That’s when I got the call.

  It was from Remi, something that surprised me. He’s been in la-la land with this dumb baby thing, and I’d been unable to get into contact with him. But when he finally called me, I had a feeling that this wasn’t going to be good. I picked it up, feeling nervous about this.

  “Hello?” I said.

  “Oh, good. You picked up. It’s Remi,” the voice said.

  I stiffened. This was the first time in a long time that I’d heard from him.

  “What’s the matter?” I said.

  “Well, I think it’s best if we discuss this in private. Are you alone?” he asked me.

  I looked around. The doors were locked. “For now, yes.”

  “Okay, good. Well, we have a problem. Apparently, the people Lavvy was with now have their sights set on Earth. They’re pretty upset that Audrey and I took out one of their own. But, I think there’s more to it than that,” he said.

  “What do you mean?” I asked.

  “Well, there’s been reports of terrorist attacks on other planets, all of them following the same pattern. Some strange… slime monsters have been thrown onto the streets of planets, scaring the alien people. These monsters are hard to kill, and they’re all from the same person,” Remi explained.

  “Oh. That’s not good.”

  “Not at all. I don’t know if you’ve been able to find any, but they are pink slime monsters. They’re all saying that they’re taking revenge on one of their own. Know anything about that?” Remi asked.

  I thought about what he just said. Was I truly imagining this? I didn’t think so, but maybe, just maybe, the whole thing with Tracey the other day wasn’t just a figment of my imagination.

  “Unfortunately, I might. See, I got attacked the other day. I was with Tracey,” I said to Remi.

  “You two are together?”

  “Yes. But that’s a moot point. Right now, we’re discussing this mess. But, I did get attacked, and I had to fend it off. I fear that if this is the same creature as the rest, we might have a huge problem on our hands,” I told Remi.

  “Yeah, the people are getting disgruntled. Normally, Audrey handles this, but she’s been puking her guts out, so she left me a list of instructions. She worries as well. But I think that there is something more here. Do you know of anyone that might have something like this? Someone that would love to get revenge on us?” Remi inquired.

  I did know one person, but I didn’t want to acknowledge that it might be him.

  “Possibly. I don’t know for sure though if it�
��s him or not,” I told Remi.

  “What do you mean?”

  “Well, he’s someone from my past, someone that was around before your father took me in. I don’t want to get into it, but if it is him, then this might be a bigger mess than I thought,” I told him.

  “Okay. Well, I think you should keep an eye out on things. I don’t want you getting hurt,” he told me.

  “I will, Remi. I mean, if that is the case, I’ve got a bad feeling about this,” I told him.

  “Keep me posted. Send your reports. If needed, I’ll send a ship there to deal with it personally.”

  “Thanks, Remi. I’ll get back to you.”

  We said our goodbyes, and I began to wonder if this was true. Was he really bad? My father? I mean, he did go missing after he ousted me from the lab. I began to shiver, wondering if I would have to see him again. It was the last thing I wanted, that’s for sure, but I knew that if I needed to, I’d stand up to him, to protect the people, and to protect her.

  That was my job. To protect everyone. I knew I could do it, so why did I feel so scared? Was it because he was a part of my past? Because he could potentially ruin the future? I knew a war was coming. If it was from the same place Lavvy was from, from that group that wanted to destroy Earth, this could create major consequences. I felt fear, complete and utter fear, but I didn’t know where to go next.

  The only thing that I knew for sure, that was obvious to me at this point, was that I had a bad feeling about this, and that I would soon find the answers to these questions, but not in the way that I wanted to.

  ~Tracey~

  Dating Jives was interesting to say the least. I gave him his space, especially since he seemed on edge a lot. I wanted to help the guy, but he always seemed so out of sorts. I didn’t get it. I mean, I knew that working as an ambassador, having to clean up everyone else’s goddamn mess, wasn’t fun for anyone, but at the same time, was he really just going to be like this the entire time? I didn’t even know anymore, and I wanted to believe that things would calm down after a while. But, when he started to ignore my messages and calls once again, I started to worry.

  I visited him at the office one day, not because I was obsessed over him, but because I wanted to help whenever I could. When I got there, he seemed out of sorts, almost ill at ease. I wanted to talk to him about it.

  “You okay?” I said embracing him. He seemed distant, cold, and unsure of what he wanted.

  “I’m fine. I just… have a lot on my mind,” he said.

  “I can tell. You are unnaturally cold. I mean, you’re always pretty distant, but today you look like someone stepped on your kitten or something,” I told him.

  He grimaced. “I’ve got a lot going on, Tracey, not that you’d understand,” he said.

  “Maybe I can understand. I mean, I’m always willing to listen. That is, if you tell me,” I replied.

  We’d been dating for a little bit over a month. I mean, I didn’t expect everything to be sunshine and rainbows, but I thought that he at least had the decency to tell me just what the hell was going on.

  “It’s a long story. I’m just… worried, that’s all. Remi called, and he told me about how there are some attacks, and it’s just… I want to keep you safe. I want to protect everyone. I just worry that I might not be able to, because of who it might be,” he said.

  “Who do you think it is?”

  He paused, trying to put the words together. “My father.”

  I immediately understood the fear that he was feeling. I felt bad for being pushy the moment I realized just what the hell was going on.

  “Oh. I’m sorry for being pushy,” I told him.

  “You didn’t know. It’s fine. I’m sorry, I’m not the best with explanations. But I found out that he might be behind a few things that are going on here. I don’t like to think that this is true, that this is only going to get worse from here, but I fear it’s the case. I don’t want a war between the humans and these alien people. It’ll get you and the rest of us embroiled in it. I mean, if I have to take out my father personally, then so be it,” he said.

  “I think that might have to be done. But you don’t have to face this alone,” I assured him.

  He looked at me, seriousness obvious. “You’re saying you’ll help?”

  “As best as I can, Jives. I know, I’m just a human. I don’t have cool powers like you do. I’m kind of bland and boring, but I’ll try my best. I don’t want you to feel scared or to think that telling me things will hurt me. Because, chances are, I’ll be there listening to you. I’ll be by your side Jives, and I’m not going to leave you behind,” I told him.

  He listened to me, shock settling in. I could tell that he seemed a bit worried, but at the same time, he understood. He could see the sincerity there.

  “It’s weird, but I trust you more than I have Remi sometimes. I can tell you’re a good person, Tracey. I don’t know how you can help, but, if you notice anything fishy, let me know,” he said.

  “I’ll do my best. Do you have an idea of what your father might look like these days? I don’t know if he’s changed much or not.”

  “No idea. I haven’t seen the guy in years,” Jives uttered.

  “Well, that’s certainly going to make our lives harder. Well, tell you what, if I see him, I’ll call you right away. I’ll try to help. I don’t want you to see me as a burden, as a mere human. I know that I’m not like you guys. I’m not physically strong, but I do want to help. I mean, I’ll try my best,” I said to him.

  “Thank you, Tracey,” he said.

  The look in his eyes told me he appreciated it. While I couldn’t do much now, I hoped that maybe, just maybe, I could put my talents to use and hopefully get this mess sorted out fast. I knew that the future was on the line for both this planet, and for the aliens here as well.

  I hugged him, hoping that this would help with the situation. I wanted to be there for Jives, even though I didn’t honestly know what else I could do. I mean, how do I help with stopping something like this? I felt a bit nervous, mostly because this was a figment of his past, someone that was there once before, and now could come back. I wondered what he had planned for this as well, what he planned for me, and for himself.

  After that, the two of us spent some time together, but I knew he was anxious. I don’t blame him. The fact that his father could come back with a vengeance would bother the hell out of me as well, but he stayed strong. He kept his composure exact and without any falter. It made me wonder just what might become of us, and what might happen next.

  ~Jives~

  I hugged her and, for the first time in a long time, I felt, well… happy. I felt whole, complete, and ready to continue forward. I spent some time with her, but then she had to head back. The two of us kissed, and as she left, I knew I needed to protect her.

  I had to figure this mess out, and fast. Over the next few days, I worked on trying to locate those creatures, even going out myself to see if they were near where the strange attack happened. But there was nothing, absolutely nothing, which only fueled my anxiety even more. Where could that bastard be? What was he doing? I didn’t want to think about anything else but finding him and giving him the just desserts that he needed.

  Soon, however, I started to find a trail. I didn’t know where it was from, but I started to realize that maybe I was getting closer. After every single lead though, I hit the wall. I began to feel nervous about this, and I certainly didn’t know what to do. Where could he be?

  I asked a few of the subordinates around my office if they had seen him, but there was nothing. Fuck. Where the hell was my father? I began to wonder if maybe Remi knew anything, but as I was about to call him, another message came through on my communicator. Sure enough, it was from him.

  “Hello,” I simply said.

  “Hey, Jives. Do you know that there are readings of alien activity on Earth right now? I just checked, and it seems that something big is happening,” Remi said.

 
; I looked at it, and sure enough, the readings were larger.

  “I see. I don’t know what could be causing that,” I told him.

  “I have a feeling that your father might be behind it. We received a message from him last night. It states that he’s around, and he’s looking for you,” Remi said.

  Well, great. This wasn’t going to be pretty.

  “I see. Well, I guess I’ll have to go look for it.”

  “You probably should. I’ve spoken with a few other leaders in the galaxy. They’re experiencing a similar situation. I seems like it’s all pointing to your father, though. Lavvy’s people hired him. Even though she is gone, she is still causing a lot of mischief on the sidelines,” Remi admonished.

  “I see. Well, I think we’ll have to figure this out on our own then. I’ll try my best to find out what’s going on. Thanks for the update, Remi,” I told him.

  “You’re welcome. You’re doing well, though. I just think that we have a lot more on the horizon than we think, and that worries me,” Remi said.

  He was right. We did have a lot to think about, a lot to do and say, and I felt quite nervous about everything. I started to feel as if there was something holding me back, something that was preventing me from finding the truth. Plus, there was the anxiety that Tracey might get hurt.

  No. I have to do this. I’ve got to protect everyone, and I know that I can certainly do this without too much work. I began to look further, combing over the various pages and the security footage. There were rumors he was over at the old mill nearby, but I hadn’t found anything.

  I was about to give up when a call came in. I looked at the ID, and it was Tracey. Was she okay? I held the receiver up to my ear, feeling the anxiety of this wash over me.

  “Are you okay?”

  “I think so. But I feel like I’ve found the guy you’ve been looking for. I saw him on my way to get coffee. He seemed scared of me, like he knew something. But as I was about to call out to him, he left. This is bizarre,” she told me.
