“Earth? I have not heard of this Earth or of this galaxy. You lie and why are there many females among you and few males? This is wrong. Guards take them! Take them all into the cages!” Baku shouted.
Everyone screamed and the captain tried to reason with the commander, but it was Meera who shouted and stepped forward.
“You cannot do this you brute! You cannot just take people hostage like this! We have done nothing to you!” she shouted.
Baku stopped and looked and looked at her. He arched his eyebrows and stepped very close to her. He put only an inch between his chest and her face as he towered over her. As he looked down upon her he smiled and took a strand of her brown hair into his fingers. He leaned down and sniffed it. “What are you?”
“I am human,” she said jutting her chin in the air. “I am on a trip to get to a miner to be my husband and you are interrupting that. Now I demand that you help us fix our ship and let us be on our way,” she said defiantly.
“Human. I don’t know what a human is, but you I find interesting. Take her to my chambers,” he said to one of his guards as he moved to continue shouting orders.
“What?! No!” Meera shouted but it was no use. As she looked around she could see that all the women and the crewmen were being restrained with hands tied behind their backs. She was not. Instead a guard held her by the arm and forced her forward through the cropland and toward the massive city that loomed before them.
Chapter 2
Meera found herself sitting on a crude bed made of steel bars with a hard mattress inside a sparse grey room. She was alone wondering why she had been separated from everyone else. She hoped that this was a temporary arrangement and that after she explained, or the captain explained, that they meant no harm to this planet. That they would let them go. But something about the way those alien males seemed to be very skilled warriors, as though it was their entire lives, made her feel like that would not be happening.
Whoosh! The door opened and the warrior in command at the crash site walked in. Meera sucked in a sharp breath of air as his towering physique moved into the room. She was a little scared but also fascinated by this impressive male before her. His blue black hair was buzz shaved on his left side above his ear, and the right side was a little long and choppy. His green eyes searched over her body as she shifted in her seat. His bare chest forced her eyes to look at it and she did notice the strong six-pack abs and stout arms. His square jaw and full lips made him a very handsome specimen indeed.
“Where am I?” Meera asked.
“What are you?” Baku asked. “I can see that you are a female, but what?”
“I asked you first,” she said narrowing her eyes at him. He grinned at her and moved closer to her as she flinched and moved back.
“I will not hurt you,” he said as he put up his hand in a calming nature but then he added, “…unless you force me too.”
Meera gulped down and then said, “I am a human, just as our captain said. I am destined to be a bride of a miner on Suvell. That is the truth of it. We wish you no harm and indeed did not even know of your existence until now.”
“Nor did we know of you, human. But that is no reason to believe you are not a threat. We are a very careful race of warriors and we think all creatures are meant for battle and now we will add humans of Earth to that list.”
“That is ridiculous and wrong!” Meera shouted.
“Do not shout at me human,” Baku said with a stern tone to his voice that shut Meera right up in fear.
“You are at the warrior stations and training grounds of the city of Konthos on the planet Kaethon. This is where you will remain until I decide what to do with you.”
“What?! No! You can’t do that! At least let me join the women I was with, my crew. Please do not separate me.”
“This is not open for negotiation. I have to attend to the examination of your starship amongst my other duties training warriors, there are many. I am too busy at the moment, but do know that when I get back, I will give you my FULL attention,” he said with a grin that made Meera think of sex instantly. She was both frightened and aroused by this prospect because he was a very attractive creature, but also a stranger of a strange alien race. As he made his way to the door she said, “Wait! What do I call you? Do you have names here?”
“I am Commander Baku Janga.”
“I am Meera…Meera Stavos.”
“Very well Meera Stavos. I will have nourishment brought to you. Eat and drink at your own caution as I do not know what our foods and liquids can or will do to a human,” he said as he opened the door and left. Meera plopped down on her back on the bed. So she was in a warrior station and training grounds. That would be why she was in such a stark room made for a soldier…or a prisoner. She sighed and waited until the foods were brought to her because what else could she do?
Tiffany moved in the restrained arm cuffs along with the other mail order brides and the crew into a large warehouse type of building made of solid steel. It was like one solid block of shiny steel with only one large opening. As the door rose slowly up like a gate on a castle, Tiffany looked up at the towering building. Whatever it was, there would be no escape. As they were led in by the armed warriors they entered a large cavernous space. The Kalazaron knew this cavernous warehouse as the cages. It was where they kept all their captives. This included creatures from space that they crossed during their pillaging and plundering campaigns. It included their own Kalazaron race of male and females that had broken the rules, and lately there had been quite a few due to a difference of perspective in politics.
A loud noise filled the space and Tiffany and the brides looked over to see a large forklift like contraption with a glass cage lowering to the ground. Inside the cage was a fourteen-foot water snake slithering about. Tiffany’s mouth fell open at the sight. She had never seen anything like it. As the cage was carefully placed on the ground it was evident just how many cages were in the warehouse, about a hundred. Walking through they were led down aisle upon aisles of cages. Some were filled with animal like creatures and others held Kalazaron, or other intelligent beings. This is what the Kalazaron did to maintain a strong military hold on the creatures they came across. They put them in cages and then they studied them. They studied everything about them, including their weaknesses. This was the destination for the mail order brides and crew yet they did not know it yet.
“You! Females! In this cage! Now!” the brute warrior shouted. The women moved into a large cage and the warrior locked it.
“Who is the captain of the starship?” Baku said as he walked down the aisle to join them.
“I am,” Captain Steck said.
“Come with me,” he said to the Captain and then looked at the warrior and said, “You know what to do with the rest. Get started as soon as now.”
“Yes Commander Janga,” the warrior nodded. He pushed the rest of the crewmen into another cage. The Commander walked before Captain Steck who was led by a guard.
“I am taking you to your ship.”
“Does that mean you will help us fix it so we can be on our way?”
“No. It means you will show me how it works. I want to know everything. Is that understood?”
“And if I refuse?”
“If you refuse you will die,” the Commander said. The Captain nodded in agreement. Moments later he was showing Commander Janga the starship and all its mechanics and workings as the Commander’s warriors recorded the Captain with a projection recorder to save in their files.
While Meera sat in her sparse room that she considered a cell she thought about how she had got there in the first place. She thought about sitting in New York with no prospects and how she had got here. It all began when she was sitting on the stoop of her building, bored as usual. Then as though he could read her thoughts Baku walked in with certain demands.
“Now Meera Stavos. I need to know everything,” he said.
“Everything about how you are here. You sai
d you are to be a wife to a miner on Suvell. I need you to say everything of that came about. Do you see this?” Baku pulled out a projection recorder. “This is going to record your account of everything that you say. I want every detail. It is the only way that we can understand what Earth is and what humans are. Do you understand?” he asked.
“Everything? As in every boring detail?” Meera asked.
“Boring is for me to decide. What might seem boring to you could be vital information to us. Now, began.” Baku pressed the recorder and Meera sat down and took a deep breath.
“Very well, then I guess it all began in New York. That is the city on Earth that I live in, or used to live in. I was sitting outside my home when I heard a woman say, "No you cannot do not I forbid it," as she something from her daughter and threw it on the ground in front of me.
I lifted it up and opened it. I was stunned by what was inside.
'Respectable miners on the planet of Suvell are looking for young women for marriage and life in space,’ the ad read. There was an organization called Galactic Bride Agency For Marriage Placement with an address. It was in reality a stunning opportunity for me though one I was not looking for. The experience of possibly being a wife to a miner in space made me feel hopeful and thrilled. I would get to go on a starship and explore a new planet. It was all that I ever dreamed of. For a week I couldn’t get the possibility of a new life out of my head. I was fantasizing about what my life could be in the immense outer regions of space. At long last I gave into the insane interest of being a mail order space bride. I persuaded myself that I could simply go there to find out what it was all about. So one day I went.
When I arrived I was stunned to find long lines of beautiful women. That is human females I mean. I didn't think it would be so popular. There was a lady called Mrs. Banoff who was quick at her job.
"What is your name woman?" she said.
"Meera Stavos"
"And what is your age?" she proceeded.
"Twenty two, yet… " but she would not let me stop her. She just kept going.
"Do you give a strong assurance that you are a virgin and that you will be a good bride to the miner who you are matched with?" she said.
"Yes, however… "
"That is all I need to know from you. If you would just sign here and then you will go to the next steps. Your photo will be taken that will be shown to the miners on Suvell. Return in a month and we will let you know if you have been chosen. Next!" Then she was done with me and I was off to do the next steps of the process.
I was informed that ladies were few and far between out on the planet of Suvell. Men out there were all alone without women. It was an uninhabited planet until we discovered it and began to mine it. I figure it all sounded good to me. I picked a few men off the wall that I thought would suit my liking and then they sent my photo to those men to see which one wanted me as a mail order bride. A month later I returned and found out that all the five men that I had picked wanted me as a wife. So I picked my favorite, his name was Jonathan Meyers. Then I packed up and was on a starship to Suvell to meet my future husband and become his wife. Then while traveling our starship malfunctioned and crashed landed on your planet. That is it. That is the truth.”
Baku looked at Meera and smiled, “What is a virgin?”
Meera swallowed hard and said, “It means that I have not been with a man before. I have not had sex.”
“Coupled? You have not coupled with a male mate?” Baku asked.
“Yes that is it,” she said nervously.
The door opened and a warrior walked in with a large trey of foods as he looked down at the floor. “Meera perhaps you will like this instead…” the warrior named Kalva Treen stopped.
“What are you doing in here Lieutenant Treen?” the Commander said sternly.
“This warrior was kind enough to wait with me earlier as I tried the different foods and a few made me sick. So now he is bringing me…”
“Enough!” the Commander shouted.
“Who gave you permission to be alone with my slave Lieutenant Treen? I ordered you to bring nourishment and nothing else. You were not to stay here and act out fantasy games of feeding her as if she was yours!” Baku was now standing and shouting at him in a rage of jealousy.
“Yes Commander. My mistake. Punish me at your will,” the warrior said bowing his head.
“I will deal with you later. Now go!” Baku shouted. The warrior left and Baku moved over to Meera. “What else happened? Did he touch you?”
Meera was frightened but also intrigued and turned on that this Commander that she found so interesting and attractive was jealous over her.
“Just a little…” she whispered teasing him to get a rise out of him.
“No! You are mine! Are you not still a virgin then?”
“I am still a virgin,” she whispered. Then Baku walked close to her and planted his lips on hers kissing her deeply and passionately.
In the room the sensual weight between them was evident. He put his strong hands around her and pulled her closer. Meera shrieked a bit as she was caught off guard, then he planted another firmer kiss on her lips. His hands meandered down her back and around her ass. He pressed his crotch against hers and Meera could feel that he was hard. He turned her on like Meera had never been. At that point he pulled away from her. "I didn’t care for the way you were associating with my Lieutenant. What may you have done with him if I had not shown up? Would he be in this room with you now, doing what I’m doing to you?" he said as he contracted his eyes at her in a fun teasing way but still very stern.
"No, by no means whatsoever. The guard was just offering…”
"Did he offer a suggestion of what he could offer you?"
"No," Meera said.
Baku stopped in his tracks and investigated her. His smile contorted up at the corners and he gave off an impression of being satisfied with her answer.
"So you were playing with him? Teasing him?" he said as he moved toward her. His boots resonated over the floor.
"No!" Meera.
"I think that you were and you will be punished for it," he said.
Her eyes expanded into shock. What did he mean by that? What had Meera gotten herself into?"
"What kind of punishment?" Meera asked.
"I envision that you should allow me to attach your arms to the bedpost while your eyes are closed. If you open them, then there will be more punishment," he said as he began to unhook her black spacesuit.
Meera expected to stop him. Meera knew she shouldn't do anything with this strange alien warrior, it was too risky, yet her body had throbbed for it for so long after being a virgin for years that she could not control herself. He loosened the suit the separation down the length of her back and after that slipped her out of it. It tumbled to the floor. Now Meera stayed there in her underpants in shock not knowing what to do. She wanted to stop, but her body did not want her too. She felt herself getting wet as he investigated her like she was some unknown creature, and to him, she was. He looked at her up and down from toes to head. He slid his strong cold fingers along her arm. He slid his hands over her belly sideways around to the small of her back as Meera breathed heavily. Her chest went up and down in hard breaths and her nipples became erect under her bra.
“You female human are almost exactly identical to our females here on Kaethon. It is astounding.”
“I…I… I mean may I ask. Are you males the same as human males?” she said as her gaze shot down to his leather kilt at his crotch. He smiled and said, “I do not know. You will have to tell me.”
Meera watched waiting for him to disrobe but he did not. Instead he kept examining her figure and sliding his cold fingers over her.
"You have an astounding figure on you Meera. I'm going to enjoy watching you squirm underneath me."
Meera was astounded. He was so forward and tyrannical and Meera did not understand this blunt warrior way of the Kalazaron. They were warriors of honor on the ba
ttlefield and dirty dominant males in the bedroom. Baku seemed to acknowledge that he was bossing her around. Meera comprehended that he this especially with a virgin, and deep down she liked it too. For her first time she wanted it to be with someone that would tell her what to do and how to do it. She had also wanted it to be special and you could not get more special than with an alien warrior unlike any other. It made her feel delicate and it gave him the inclination that he was in control, and Meera delighted in that about him.
He grabbed her shoulders and turned her around. At that point he started removing her underwear. After a short time it slid down to the floor. He turned her back toward him. Meera was in a matter of seconds topless. He moaned as he let her breasts rest in his hands. He ran his thumbs carefully over her nipples that were erect. Meera moaned as he touched her. These were all new sensations to her. A man had never touched her and Meera felt the throbs in her pussy attempting to explode into something she did not understand. At that point he pushed her panties to the floor. Meera stepped out of them. Meera was shaking with vitality and curiosity.
"Turn," he said.
Meera turned moving her back to him.
"Now touch your toes," he said.
Meera’s eyes widened. What kind of order was that? Meera stood solidified.
"Do it. I am your commander now, do as I say," he said.
Meera almost was delighted in listening to his dominant voice stacked with desire and sternness letting her know what to do.
Meera turned around and touched her toes. At that point she felt a slap against her ass cheek. Meera moaned due to her body jiggling and the light sting of his hand on her skin.
