Mountain Man's Bride

by Lauren Wood

  “It is overwhelming the first time you see it.” Liz nodded her head in agreement.

  “There are so many things here. Hey can I ask you something?” The woman looked at her.

  “Sure anything.” Liz said.

  “Are aliens real? I mean have you ever seen one?” The woman asked shyly.

  Liz knew this type; they were the semi-believers in aliens on Earth. They weren’t sure and wanted to find answers out. The good thing is she had come to the right place to learn all there was to know about aliens.

  “Actually I have many friends who are aliens.” Liz answered.

  “Really, do they look like us?” The woman asked her eyes wide.

  “Well most of them you can’t even tell they are alien, while others might have something that is a little different from us, but you have to really look!” Liz explained. “I’ve met plenty who I wasn’t sure were alien until they told me.” She added.

  “So are there any aliens here? Can you point one out to me?” The woman whispered to Liz.

  “You don’t have to whisper honey. You’ll find them all over the place. See that booth over there, go and talk to them, I’m pretty sure there are at least a couple of real aliens.” Liz said pointing to a stand that was just across the room from them.

  “Oh thank you so much! It was nice to meet you, my name is Mary.” The woman said and quickly went off to the stand.

  Liz laughed for a bit after the woman left; she watched her talking to the group of people. One of them Liz knew for sure was an alien; he was a friend of hers she’d met a few years back at one of her first expos.

  “Hey beautiful are you ready to go for that coffee?” A voice said from behind her.

  Liz spun around to find Allen standing behind her. He was silent; she hadn’t even heard him come up from behind her. “Sure I am.” She smiled and they walked outside to the coffee shop that was next door to the convention center.

  “I hope you don’t mind coming out here. It gives us a bit more privacy to talk.” Allen stated.

  “No I don’t mind at all!” Liz commented. “Plus you know people come up and bother you if you drink inside the building, especially you with that look!” Liz laughed.

  “Yeah I’ve gotten a ton of comments already today!” Allen admitted.

  “So are you alien?” Liz asked. It didn’t matter she was still very attracted to him no matter if he was human or alien.

  “Actually I am alien, but I’m not blue under this paint if that’s what you’re wondering!” He laughed.

  “Well I was kind of wondering. It’s a blue like I’ve never seen before.” Liz admitted.

  “This color is from our home planet, I don’t think you would have seen it before, unless you’d met one of our people before.” Allen stated.

  “What planet are you from?” Liz asked.

  “Hasastasha, have you heard of it before?” Allen asked.

  “No I haven’t, are you new coming to Earth?” She asked.

  He sat and thought for a few minutes. “Well not really this is my second trip in 10 years. We come for a while, some of us stay, but I’ve never found any reason to stay for long before I travel back home. Well that is up until now!” Allen said, his eyes probing her green eyes.

  She turned a bright red. “Oh you like the expo do you?” Liz asked, trying to get him to stop staring at her. She felt naked in front of him.

  “The expo is nice, but what I really like is you. Your beautiful Liz, I think I might stick around and get to know you better.” Allen said.

  “I think I would like that.” Liz admitted.

  “I have a job to do though, so I’ll have to possibly go back home for a few days. Finish my job up and then I can see about getting time off.” Allen explained.

  “What do you do?” Liz probed.

  “I recruit women who would like to visit my planet and find love.” Allen said slowly.

  “Wow, do you get a lot of women who want to visit Hasastasha? I wouldn’t mind seeing it, if it’s where you’re from. I’ve never been off Earth yet.” Liz said.

  “We have some women who like the sound of it. Well maybe you can visit, but not this trip. I don’t think my co-workers would appreciate me bringing along another person.” Allen stated.

  “Well you could just tell them I’m one of the women who are going along looking for love, right?” She pushed.

  “I don’t know I’ll see if I can do anything.” Allen said.

  Liz noticed he seemed to not want her to go along. Perhaps he wasn’t really interested in her after all, or maybe he had a wife or girlfriend on his home planet. How odd could that be showing up with an Earth girl and showing her around, while your wife looks on. There was definitely a warning bell that was sounding in her head.

  “Okay, well I didn’t want to push it. I just thought it would be neat to see the Earth from outer space and see another planet! I’ve always dreamed of something like that! Liz commented.

  He shrugged his shoulders. “I guess it’s just normal for me.” But she noticed he didn’t say much else about his planet or her comments.

  “Oh no, I’m late going back.” She said as she looked down at the time. “I know I only volunteer, but I like to make sure I offer good customer service during the day. Plus I love seeing the looks of people who’ve come for their first time.” Liz said.

  “I’d like to see you again, maybe later tonight?” He asked.

  “Sure what time?” Liz responded.

  “Well I have to work late, so can I have your number to call you?” Allen said.

  “Okay, its 333-5647, call me when you are done.” Liz answered.

  He kissed her on the forehead and said. “I look forward to seeing you later on.”

  She smiled. “Me too, maybe I’ll see you inside once in a while the rest of the day too!” Liz stated.

  “You will never know when I’ll show up!” He laughed.

  He walked her back inside and disappeared into the crowd quickly. Liz tried to spot him, but it was like he had vanished just as quickly as he appeared. Her day went by quickly as she helped many new visitors get their bearings and even answered several questions.

  Later on in the day she thought she spotted Allen he was talking to a group of three women, or girls from their looks. The girls all seemed to be laughing and having a good time.

  “Excuse me ma’am, can you please help me?” Liz heard from behind her.

  She turned to see a little old man; he had to be in his 80’s he was so wrinkled up. “Yes sir, how can I help you?” She asked.

  “I was looking for the restrooms but can’t seem to find them.” He said.

  “Oh, that’s fine I can direct you to those. Simply go through that doorway over there.” She pointed to the East. “Then you have to walk about 100 yards and take a left down a long hallway. You’ll find the bathroom at the end of that hall.” She explained.

  “Thank you so much, you’re very kind. I love that dress on you.” He smiled and walked away.

  She turned back around to see if she could find Allen again and the girls, but she didn’t spot them. “Maybe he got some possible women to go to his planet and marry other men.” She thought. Then her mind wondered if he slept with these women on their trip back to the planet? How long did it take to get there? These were things she could ask him later. Though she wasn’t sure if she wanted to know if he slept with any of the women he met. He was a good looking man, so she was sure he would get hit on by a lot of women.

  Jealousy was something that had plagued her in the past, but she had been working on it. She thought she had it beat when she was with Jason. She hadn’t cared when Sara, her best friend then, had hung out with them. She hadn’t even expected that they were sleeping together behind her back.

  Liz’s eyes grew dark as she remembered the night she caught them in a passionate embrace. “At least I didn’t have to find them naked together.” She stated.

  “Hey, how are you?” Liz was shook o
ut of her thoughts. She turned to see Allen standing by her.

  “Oh I’m sorry I was thinking of something else.” Liz apologized.

  “So I asked and they said that you are welcome to come on the trip if you want, but you need to stay out of the way.” Allen told her.

  “Okay, I’ll stay wherever you tell me to stay.” Liz said.

  “Great, so we will be leaving tonight, be ready around midnight.” Allen said and turned to leave.

  She stood with her mouth open, not sure if she believed what just took place. Then it hit her, she was going to be in space, on a ship and going to another planet. Her body throbbed with an excitement like she’d never felt before. Oh I hope I get to see the ship, she thought, I mean really look around in it!

  All her thoughts for the rest of the day were on the adventure that was going to take place that night. Liz could barely focus the rest of the day. Then she thought about it, the convention was still on the next day, would they be back in time? She looked around for Allen again.

  It took a while but she spotted him and headed towards him.

  “Hey Allen, I forgot we have another day of the convention tomorrow, will we be back in time?” She asked.

  “Sure, we will be back in plenty of time for it, don’t worry.” He said.

  “I’m really looking forward to it.” She smiled brightly.

  “Just remember you need to stay in the room I put you in. Don’t go walking around the ship, unless I’m with you. You understand right?” He looked at her, his face serious.

  “I understand, don’t worry.” Liz answered.

  “Good hey I have to go and meet more people. We’re almost full!” Allen shot off to the other side of the room.

  Liz just stood there looking at him go, he moved so quickly. “He has such a nice body.” She mouthed under her breath.

  “He is a nice specimen isn’t he?” A deep voice came from behind her.

  She jumped startled by the voice that was far too close to her ear. “Oh you scared me.” She said.

  “I’m sorry I didn’t mean too. My name is Rich; I’m a co-worker of Allen’s.” He held his hand out to her.

  “Nice to meet you, I’m Liz.” She answered and shook his hand.

  He squeezed her hand a bit tighter than she liked. “I can see what he likes about you.” Rich smiled and laughed.

  Liz felt uneasy at his gaze that lingered on her breasts that were barely covered by the dress she wore. “Oh thanks, I think.” Liz commented and turned to walk away, she wanted to get as far away from him as possible. “Hey I have to go back to work now, it was nice meeting you!” She said and left.

  Rich grabbed her really quickly though before she was out of his reach. “If you don’t work well with Allen, you can always come to me. Just remember that. I can show you a really good time!” He said his eyes seductive.

  She pulled her hand free and almost ran away from him. As she left his side she felt a creepy gaze on her back, she knew it was Rich, so she didn’t look back.

  Liz wondered if he was the reason why Allen had told her to stay wherever he put her on the ship, and to not go out without him by her side. She figured it was most likely a good reason; she didn’t like Rich at all.

  The rest of the day went by without incident from Rich, but she kept looking over her shoulder. Each time she looked around she had a feeling on the back of her neck like she was being watched. However, Liz never saw anyone looking at her. If they were she couldn’t spot them anyway.

  “Hey, beautiful, sorry I’ve been really busy all day long or I would have stopped by sooner.” Allen came up in front of her.

  “it’s okay, these are usually really crazy.” She said looking around at the dwindling crowd. It was close to the end of the day, and most people were heading towards the doors to leave. Though a few stranglers always stayed behind and tried to make deals at shops for trinkets. “Oh I meant one of your co-workers today.” She stated.

  He jumped and looked at her closely, “Oh who was it?” He tried to recover quickly, but she had caught the nervousness he had felt.

  “Rich, he came up behind me when I had talked to you earlier.” She explained.

  Allen shook his head. “Did he say anything to you about me?” He asked.

  She didn’t know if she should tell him or not, he had quite a reaction when he had heard who she talked too. “No he just said something about he could see why you like me.” Liz finally said to him.

  “Hmm, okay. Well don’t talk to him if you can help it. He’s not really a nice guy at all.” Allen told her.

  “Yeah I gathered that from our conversation.” Liz said.

  “Why? Did he say something to you?” Allen asked again, this time a bit more insistent.

  “Honestly he’s just really creepy, and he hit on me a bit. But it’s nothing really, I can handle him.” Liz stated.

  “Listen if I take you tonight, you have to avoid him at all costs, don’t trust him.” Allen explained.

  “What you aren’t going to take me now because of him? I told you already I would stay wherever you put me.” She pleaded.

  “I’ll take you, but if he approaches you, just turn away and go from him.” Allen said.

  “I got it.” She answered.

  “Well since you are going along, we’ll be leaving around 10.” He said. “You won’t really need to take along anything. If you want a change of clothes, we have some that will fit you on the ship; I’ll get something for you. Or you can wear that dress, I really like it.” Allen told her.

  “Okay, wow that’s only half an hour from now. I should call my friend’s and tell them not to expect me until later tonight, right?” Liz asked.

  “No don’t worry about it, or call them. It will only take us a couple of hours to go there and back.” He stated.

  “Alright, that’s really quick! Will I even be able to see much in space?” Liz asked.

  “Sure, you’ll be in my cabin; you can look out the window.” He said.

  Liz was excited about the trip, but there was part of her that was dreading the fact that Rich would also be on the ship. But Allen wouldn’t let anything happen to her, she was sure of that, or she was counting on it.

  He kissed her on the cheek. “I’ll see you in a little bit.”

  She turned her lips to his and kissed him squarely on the lips. He kissed her back and she moaned when he slipped his tongue into her mouth quickly. But the kiss ended too quickly for her and she was watching him walk away once more. She felt the pressure of his lips against hers still and smiled.

  Chapter 2

  “Come on, follow me this way.” Allen pulled her along. Liz pulled back on his arm trying to look around the ship as much as she could.

  “Here come in; this is my room on the trip.” He opened up a door to a huge room. There was a bed in the far corner of the room. Liz looked at it and hoped that they would use the bed soon. She had been hot thinking about him all day long, and after the kiss, well it had only increased.

  “Wow, this is so big.” Liz said looking around the room. She walked around and finally made her way to the bed. She plopped down on the edge of it. “Nice and sturdy, want to use it?” She asked.

  Allen looked at her and she saw a flash of something come over his eyes. She wasn’t sure if it was another color, or maybe another eyelid? He walked over by her and pulled her up. Liz licked her lips in anticipation of the kiss she hoped was coming.

  “I have to check in first, but I’ll be back. Remember that you need to stay in the room though. I’ll come back as quickly as I can. If anyone knocks on the door, don’t say anything, and don’t answer it. Do you understand?” He said looking at her for confirmation of this.

  “Yes I understand. But can you please hurry back?” Liz kissed him and pushed her tongue into his mouth. Allen responded back by snaking his tongue around hers and squeezing it. She moaned loudly, wondering what that tongue would feel like licking her lower regions. She felt her pussy get w
et at the thought.

  He kissed her a little longer and then pulled his tongue out of her mouth. “I’ll be quick.” He said and left the room.

  She was tempted to simply undress and wait for him like that, but changed her mind and instead began to investigate his room. Liz looked through a closet that was built into the wall and saw a few uniforms in there. She imagined him dressed in one and them play acting some sort of kinky sex scene. Her mind ran wild for a bit as she pictured him as the alien warrior trying to conquer a princess!

  The window drew her full attention as she noticed the stars begin to float by. Liz looked out and saw the Earth getting smaller and smaller behind them. Suddenly there was a whoosh sound and she was propelled forward hard against the wall. She hit her head hard and slide to the ground.

  Liz woke up and looked around; she wasn’t on the floor, but on a bed. Her head hurt badly. She sat up and heard.

  “Don’t move too much you took a hard fall.” A deep voice said.

  She looked to where the voice had come from so quickly she felt dizzy. “What are you doing here?” She asked Rich.

  “You mean in my room? Why wouldn’t I be here?” He stated.

  Liz could have sworn it was still Allen’s room, unless they all looked alike, or had Allen set her up. It was possibly she guessed, but no he wouldn’t do that would he? He wanted her, she was sure of that. She thought of their shared kiss again and groaned as she thought of Rich.

  “What’s wrong there sweetie?” Rich said as he approached the side of the bed. He touched her hair and she pulled her head away. He snapped her face back to him by pulling her hair. He placed his face right in front of her, she was scared he was going to try and kiss her, so she turned to the side. “Don’t fight it, we can do this the hard or easy way, it’s your choice, but either way I’ll be sure to have fun!” He scowled at her.

  Liz spit in his face. He slapped her hard with the palm of his hand.

  “I like pain, so it will only turn me on more.” He smirked.

  She tried to move away from him quickly and run for the door. But he blocked her at every turn. He was bigger than her and couldn’t move as quickly as her though for long, or she was counting on it.
