“Fine.” I said absently.
“Would you like to go get second meal?” She asked.
“No.” I turned to leave but she grabbed my arm. “Don’t touch me Tula!” She flinched.
“Where are you headed Zahin?”
“To the control room. I need to look at the surveillance footage and see who entered my quarters this morning.” She paled, but he didn’t see her. She excused herself and left immediately. She had forgotten about the surveillance of his quarters.
Sitting in the control room, he started with video that morning when he left his quarters. What he saw astounded him. Tula put in the door code and entered in. A few minutes later she emerged with an obviously drugged Eliana. He left the control room and headed for the Bridge. Everyone he passed in the corridor moved immediately out of his was. His anger was palpable by the time he entered the Bridge.
“Dar, how close are we to the E-Pod?” I asked.
“We are getting closer, but there is an Agrarian ship that will intercept it first.” Dar replied.
“See if Prince Pakhi is any closer and can intercept quicker than we can.”
“Yes Commander.”
“Saagar!”
“Yes Commander?” Saagar replied.
“Find Tula. I want to know where she is on the ship right now.”
“Yes Commander.” He replied.
“I have located her commander, she is in the Galley.”
“Thank you Saagar. Justyn, Yaj, your both we me.” The three of them left the Bridge.
They entered the Galley and he found Tula eating with three different males. They made their way over to her. As she looked up and spotted Zahin, she grinned from ear to ear.
“Hello Zahin. Did you finally come to your senses?” She smiled seductively at him.
“Tula, you are under arrest for the abduction of my intended. Justyn, please take her into custody.” The three males at the table scooted farther away. Tula’s eyes grew big.
“What? You can’t possibly think I had anything to do with that.” She screeched.
“I saw the surveillance Tula. Of course it was you. You will be placed in a cell until judgement is passed…by me.” She stepped back at the sheer vehemence in my voice. I would make sure she never hurt Eliana again. I headed back to the Bridge.
Eliana
Chapter 20
“How does my life always get so messed up?” I mumbled to myself. I was in some kind of small ship, just big enough for me. My mind was still groggy. I couldn’t believe that Tula would do this. What a bitch! I wondered if Zahin even knew that I was missing. Probably not since he was so busy today. He was making plans for our joining ceremony tonight and our arrival on Sukara the next day, or moon cycle, whatever.
I heard a loud noise and my little ship jerked suddenly. It felt like I was being pulled, but I couldn’t see anything. Time seemed to pass slowly until finally the hatch of my little ship opened. As I was dragged out, I screamed! It was the green, slimy snake bastards! Oh God, what was I going to do? There were two Agrarians there, and each one grabbed an arm and dragged me down the corridor. They threw me in a cell like room. It was dark and I couldn’t see anything. It was just like it was before. I called out but nobody answered. I sat down and drew my knees up to my chest and cried.
Zahin
As I entered the Bridge, everyone could feel the anger radiating from me. It was not something that was seen often, but it would make me a great ruler for I would fight for my people.
“Dar report!” I said in a commanding tone.
“The Agrarians have intercepted the E-Pod. They are traveling at a faster rate of speed than we are able to maintain. The Chandra has agreed to help and will intercept the Agrarians before us.”
I paced back and forth. I have never felt so helpless in all my thirty cycles. I had to believe that the Chandra would get there before anything could happen to Eliana. We I got back to my planet, I would make sure that every ship was updated with the best technology so our ships would not have trouble keeping up. Everyone on the Bridge was watching me with concern, but I didn’t care. Everyone knew what the Agrarians were capable of, and if they didn’t get her back soon…
Eliana
Chapter 21
It had been two days since I had been captured by the Agrarians. I was still sitting in the dark. They had not come back once to feed me, but I did have a water that was in my cell when I arrived. I was afraid to drink it though because I couldn’t see it. It felt like water when I accidently put my hand in it. I had to urinate in the corner, but without drinking I didn’t have to worry about that now. My arms were sore where they grabbed me and dragged me down to the cell. I was sure they were bruised as well. I didn’t know what they were going to do with me except sell me at the market. Where was Zahin? I felt like he was looking for me, but what if he couldn’t find me? I would have cried if I had any tears left. All I had been doing was crying lately. I should be hungry, but I was nauseous instead. Come to think of it, I had been nauseous even before I was taken. I was very weak, so weak that I thought I’d just close my eyes and rest for just a few minutes.
I woke with a start. I wasn’t sure what had woken me so I sat very still and tried to listen. I didn’t hear anything at first, but then I heard something outside the door. When the door opened, I had to close my eyes because the light was so bright in my eyes. After being in complete darkness for so long, any light seemed bright. Someone leaned down and picked me up. I wanted to scream, but I was just so tired.
When I woke up, I was lying on a soft bed. I didn’t know where I was, and really didn’t care. I was warm and comfortable. I heard a door open, and when I turned to look I saw a tall blue male with short brown hair heading toward me. It took me a few minutes to realize that it was Prince Pakhi. He smiled at me. I realized that this was the first time I had ever seen him smile. He hadn’t even spoken to me on the Sukraian ship.
“I see you’re finally awake. “ He said with a smile.
“How long have I been here?” I whispered. My throat hurt and it was hard to speak.
“You have been here two moon cycles. You were very dehydrated so our healer gave you fluids and treated your bruises. You were in bad shape.” He said in a worried tone.
“Thank you.” I was studying him. He was very handsome and had a nice smile.
“Why did you not speak to me when you were on Zahin’s ship?” I curiously asked. Everyone I had seen so far was very curious about me. He seemed surprised to see me, but that was it. As far as I knew he never even asked Zahin about me.
“I will answer your question momentarily.” He smiled again. “Do you feel well enough to get out of bed?”
“I think so. Does Zahin know where I am?” I missed him terribly. I had been with him for over a month now and was used to him always being with me.
“He does. We will be meeting the Vimana in one moon cycle.” He then held out his hand to help me stand.
Prince Pakhi led me down the corridor. My strength was rapidly returning and I was feeling much better. As the door to his quarters opened, I walked in …and screamed!
“OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! IS IT REALLY YOU?” I ran and threw my arms around Adriana! Tears were running down both of our faces, and Adriana was hugging me as tight as I was hugging her.
“I can’t believe that you are here!” Adriana said excitedly. After a few more minutes when the tears started to slow, she led me to a chair to sit down. She sat on a couch and Prince Pakhi sat beside her and took her hand.
“I guess the green slimy snake bastards got you to. I called out while they had me in my cell, but nobody answered. I hoped you got away.” I said with sadness in my voice.
“I would have but when I saw them shoot you and you fell down unmoving, I knew I couldn’t leave you. So I came back running. I had a stick in my hand and I planned to hit them with it.” She giggled. “I didn’t even get close to them. They just shot me with the same thing they shot you with. I w
oke up in a black cell as well.”
“And now you’re with Prince Pakhi?” I said while staring at their entwined hands. “That’s why you never asked any questions about me, because Adriana was here?” I asked Prince Pakhi.
“Yes.” He said. “I knew who were you’re the first time I saw you. Adriana had told me all about you and although I was surprised to see you, I had an idea about what had happened.” One side of his mouth tipped up in a slight smile. “When I came back to the Chandra, I told Adriana that you were on board their ship. All she wanted to do was see you, but I finally convinced her that it was too dangerous.”
“And you two are together now?”
“Yes, but that’s another story, I want to hear how you ended up on an Agrarian ship. Pakhi told me you were with Prince Zahin. What happened?” Adriana asked with such concern.
“I’m not sure what you know about the Sukaraians, but they are a very promiscuous race.” I smiled at her horrified look. “There was this woman, or female as everyone is called, that wanted Zahin. They use to have sex together and when we started dating she didn’t like it. She drugged me while I was asleep in bed and put me in a small ship. Next thing I knew, the Agrarians were the one that opened it. They threw me in a cell just like before, except this time they didn’t give me any food.” I said solemnly.
“What a bitch!” Adriana yelled.
“Adriana.” Pakhi said in a chastised tone.
“Sorry.” She said looking at Pakhi. I wondered what was going on. I didn’t know anything about the Santarian culture.
“Yeah, she is. The day it happened was to be my wedding day.” I said with sadness in my voice.
“What? You’re getting married? Oh my God! Oh my God!” Adriana shrieked.
“Yes I am, or was.” I laughed
“I noticed the coil around your arm.” Prince Pakhi said. Then he hesitated. “I’m not sure if I should be the one to tell you this, but you are with young.” He said softly.
“You mean I’m pregnant?” I paled.
“I’m not sure what pregnant means, but you are with young.” He said again.
“Wait, I can’t be pregnant, or with young, I have an implant in my arm that prevents that from happening.” I almost panicked.
“When we did a medical scan on you there was no such device in your arm.” Prince Pakhi replied. I was starting to panic when Adriana put her arms around me.
“It will be Ok Eliana, you’re getting married anyway.” She smiled a little.
“I’m so glad your hear Adriana.” I was so sincere.
“I’ve got work to do, so I will leave you females to talk. I will return later.” Prince Pakhi bent down a lightly kissed Adriana on the lips.
We talked for hours until we both were exhausted. I woke the next morning to find Adriana and Prince Pakhi having breakfast. I rose to my feet and went to join them. I needed to thank them for their hospitality. They didn’t know the burden I had carried not knowing what had happened to my friend.
As I approached, they both smiled at me. It was Prince Pakhi that spoke first.
“Eliana, I have talked with Adriana about you. She told me that even though you were always good friends, you were always considered to be her family. I would like to extend my protection to you if you ever need it.” He handed me an object that looked like a white smooth stone. “When you need my help, or you just need to talk to Adriana you can hold it like this and press. Please do not tell anyone of this and please make sure you are alone if you need us. I trust you because Adriana trust you.” He smiled as I took the stone.
“Thank you.” And I meant it.
“Now eat up, you are with young and Prince Zahin will be here soon.”
“Please don’t tell him I’m pregnant. Let me do it in my own time.”
“Very well.” He replied as they all ate First meal.
Zahin
Chapter 22
It had been three moon cycles since I had seen his Eliana. I felt like I was losing my mind. After I had conformation that the Agrarians had captured Eliana, I had Tula put to death. My anger knew no bounds. Everyone watched what they said and did around me. I hadn’t slept, and had hardly ate. I knew Eliana meant a lot to me, and that I loved her, but I didn’t realize the depth of my love until she was gone.
I made my way to the Bridge. I practically lived there now because I couldn’t stand to be in my quarters. That was the last place I had made love to Eliana. As I entered I found Dar there looking at a console.
“Report!” I said in a demanding voice.
“Prince Zahin, the Santarians intercepted the Agrarian ship. They retrieved Eliana and destroyed the ship. She was sent to medical and is expected to make a full recovery. We are on course to intercept the Chandra in one moon cycle.” Dar replied while watching his friend. I let out a slow breath.
“Thank you my friend.” I said.
“Justyn, you have command.” Then Dar turned to me. “Come my friend, let’s go have a drink.” Dar and I left the Bridge.
They headed toward Dar’s quarters, as I still had a hard time being in my own. When we arrived, Dar poured us both some Barla. I looked up at Dar and said; “tell me my friend.” My eyes were haunted. Dar knew I expected very bad news.
“Zahin, she is Ok. She had some bruises where they drug her to her cell. The worst thing that happened was she was left alone in the dark, without food for two moon cycles. Prince Pakhi reported that she was dehydrated when they found her. She has been asleep and they have healed her bruises and given her fluids and nutrients. She is doing well.” I closed his eyes and silently thanked my Goddess.
“Thank you Dar. I know I have been ….difficult.” I said sincerely, but Dar laughed.
“Maybe a little my friend.” Dar was still laughing, and I smiled.
“Now that all is well, I think I shall go find me a female to bed.” Dar said as he stood to leave. I just nodded my approval to him.
The next moon cycle I took the shuttle and docked on the Chandra. I was met by Prince Pakhi, but Eliana was nowhere within sight. I retained my composure as these were not my people.
“Prince Pakhi, I thank you for your assistance in this matter.” I said as we grasp forearms.
“You are welcome. Come.” He turned to leave and I followed him. As we traveled down the corridor to another room I spotted Eliana. My heart almost stopped. As she looked up and saw me, she jumped up and ran to me. She threw her arms around my neck and my arms circled her waist. I pulled her tight and breathed in her scent. I opened my eyes and was startled to see another human female sitting there. I just stared at her. She was not as beautiful as my Eliana, but she was a striking female. Eliana pulled back and looked up at me.
“I missed you.” She said with tears in her eyes and a slight smile on her face.
“I have missed you to my Eliana.” I hugged her again.
“Zahin, this is my friend Adriana. She was the one with me when I was taken from Earth. The one I worried so much about.” My eyes grew wide then my gazed turned to Prince Pakhi.
“This is why you never asked any questions about humans. You could have told us she was here.” My voice was stern.
“The dangers here are great, and I didn’t know how things were on your ship concerning the human. Obviously things were not well there either as Eliana ended up with the Agrarians.” He replied in the same tone. I just nodded my head.
“Come Eliana, we must go.” She nodded and turned to hug her friend.
“Remember, if you need us just call. You know how.” Adriana whispered. Eliana smiled at her friend and then turned to leave.
When the shuttle landed back on the Vimana, I led Eliana to my quarters, well ours since she had moved in with me. As soon as we cleared the door I turned around and my lips crushed down on hers. There was a hunger in me that Eliana had never experienced before. My hands were ripping at her clothes trying to get her naked. I had us both naked in no time. I put my arms around her and her legs immediat
ely wrapped around my waist. My mouth traveled to her ear, then down her neck.
“Eliana, I can’t wait.” I said in a desperate voice as I entered her in one hard thrust. She threw her head back as I held her waist and thrust in and out at a hard pace. All of my fear and anxiety of losing her drove me on. Eliana could feel her release coming. When she couldn’t hold it in anymore, she screamed out my name “Oh God Zahin I’m coming!” Her pussy tightened around my cock trying to pull my seed from me. I threw my head back and with loud grunts and hard thrust I released into her. I then carried her to the bed and laid her on her stomach. I crawled up her body and lifted her hips as I entered her. Her back was to my chest and I was on my knees. I pounded into her from behind. Eliana knew exactly what was going on. This was a claiming, and I was claiming her body as mine. As I shouted my release once again, I thrust one finger in her ass. Eliana moaned. She had never been fucked in the ass before. I stretched her a little and then added another finger. I continued until I thought she could take me. I didn’t want to hurt her. After a few minutes of stretching, I aligned my cock up with her ass and slowly pushed forward. I tilted my head up, and my lips were slightly parted. As I pushed my cock in all the way, until my balls were against her ass, I moaned. I had never felt anything so tight, so good. Eliana moaned, she never dreamed it could feel so good. I started pumping in and out of her ass, while one arm wrapped around her waist to hold her still and the other hand found its way down to her pussy. I stuck two fingers in her pussy as my thumb pressed down on her clit. She screamed as her orgasm came on like a tidal wave, and she let the pleasure roll through her. I called out her name as I pumped one last time and released into her ass. I then gathered her up in his arms as we lay on the bed. And for the first time in four moon cycles, I slept and so did she.
I woke with a start. I looked down and saw Eliana sleeping. She had her head on my chest and our legs were tangled together, and we were both naked. I looked around and noticed Dar sitting in a chair near the bed. Even though his people were very comfortable being naked around each other, he worried a little that Eliana would be embarrassed if she woke up. “Is everything Ok?”
