Alien Romance Box Set: Alien Cube: The Sci-FI Alien Invasion Romance (Books 1-5)

by Ashley L. Hunt

  He’s fucking me fast and hard, using every last bit of his strength to push his dick inside. I’m in pain sometimes, but I quickly forget about it. At that time, just pushing his dick further in, I feel my whole body jolt from the tension, and I open my mouth to moan only for him to close it with his free hand. I cum many times in a row after that, but still, if he doesn’t stop, I’ll keep on coming.

  “Yes...yes...please...don’t stop...” I say, moaning in the pauses between the words.

  Something in my voice must have aroused him. I keep my eyes closed, but I have my hands on his ass. I push him deeper every time he thrusts, feeling his muscles tightening and then relaxing. And then, I feel him thrust slowly, more rhythmically. He’s close.

  “I’m coming...” he says in a deep, hoarse voice. “I’m coming...” he says and then stays still, shooting his cum inside me.

  He slowly pulls out and lies next to me. We don’t speak for a while, but we don’t have to. I’m just looking at him, his dick still hard, panting. Just watching his glistening body, it makes me horny again. I’m not sure what I’ll do with him, but I also know one thing. At this moment I know that I’ve made the right choice.

  “So, I thought you and I were constantly fucking all these days. What happened? Maybe the other Jay didn’t satisfy you that much after all,” he says and winks at me.

  Remember Eladia, that’s the reason you fell for him. He doesn’t mince his words. He’s just saying what’s in his mind.

  “No, not at all. It’s just a different thing, having sex with you and having sex with...you.” That last part makes both of us laugh.

  “Yeah, I’m sure. But...still...I have no fucking idea why you chose me over him. I thought you were more into him,” he says.

  “Well, I thought the same thing, too. But Jay can be a very difficult person sometimes. You, on the other hand, you’re easier to talk to and funnier. It’s just a matter of perspective,” I say.

  Yeah, that’s exactly what it is. A matter of perspective. They’re different sides of the same coin. And I think I like this side better.

  “Yeah, that sounds about right. Nevertheless, I’m gonna go get a shower. Do you care to join me?” he says and leaves the bedroom before I reply to him.

  I stand still for a moment, trying to find a reason for everything that happened between us, but I can’t. I’m just madly in love with him. I close my eyes and try to find a logical explanation, but the only thing I do is feel sleepy. Still, the idea of us having a shower together puts renewed energy in my veins.

  I quickly follow him in the bathroom.

  Jay

  Time flew by since the night my buddy Jay set me free. I’m not sure who I must thank for this outcome, but right now, I’m thanking Eladia every day. He seems to like it very much, so why stop? My other self wouldn’t.

  Silver Jay hasn’t said a thing since he gave control to me. I don’t think I’ll give this body back to him anytime soon, but I’ll make sure he has all the fun of the world while in there. It wasn’t an easy thing getting out of that prison, especially when you’re being kept in there by a half-assed man like the mighty Prime Officer Jasih.

  Life has been kind to me the last four days. Fucking Eladia the nights, talking with the rest of the crew the days, it’s certainly fun to not sleep all day. On the other hand, walking, talking, and fucking has started taking its toll on me. I’m not sure why I feel tired all the time since I make sure to have over eight hours of sleep every day. Maybe it’s my body trying to keep up with the new changes.

  We’re in orbit around Yaerus now. This means that I’m almost over with that bullshit of a mission that I have to complete to free myself of this annoying cube. We’re inside the space shuttle, trying to sneak into the planet without the Αllied powers realizing what’s going on. The place is cramped up with security vehicles and Class 5 military spaceships, and honestly, I don’t care. I just want to fart really bad since we left.

  I smile at myself. It’s really invigorating thinking like that. It has been over a year since the last time I was able to walk free, and I’m going to relish every moment of it.

  “We’re entering into the atmosphere. Get ready for some serious turbulence,” the android says.

  We all get tied in our seats for extra safety. It certainly won’t be a stroll in the park, but after so many thousands of years and civilizations passing, someone could have come up with a better way to make this fucking thing smoother.

  The shuttle starts shaking uncontrollably, and I have to grab my safety belt to stay firm in my position. We go through the first part of the entry to the atmosphere successfully, but now the hard part is starting.

  Suddenly, a flash of light envelops the inside of the shuttle. The turbulence has stopped, but I still feel dizzy and disoriented. I thought that this shit wasn’t hard.

  The light gets stronger with every passing second until I realize that it’s not coming from outside, but instead, from inside my pocket.

  Be careful. You’re getting into a vision, Silver Jay suddenly says after many days of staying silent.

  I close my eyes only for a moment. I feel light like I’m floating away from my body. When I open my eyes again and see that I’m actually flying above the dark figure of a planet, I realize that Jay was right. This is a vision.

  “Hello? Is anybody here?” I yell, but my voice vanishes in the echo.

  At first, it seems like I’m just floating in midair but soon I realize that I’m actually moving towards the dark planet, fast. There is no trace of light anywhere. Not even the stars are strong enough to shed any of their light on me. It’s just me and the mystery planet.

  That’s before a small rectangle in the distance lights up before me. I’m heading straight for that part.

  It doesn’t take me long to fly there, but when I do, there is something familiar about this place. It isn’t the usual vision with the girl jumping from the building, but it’s a familiar place nonetheless.

  All the buildings around me seem hazy, and the only thing that makes sense is to follow the smoke coming from behind one of the gigantic structures.

  “Hello? Anyone?” I yell loud enough that my throat actually hurts.

  “Of all the species in the universe, you’re the one I have to instruct. An Esuh!”

  “Oh boy,” I mutter when I see a tiny, blue creature staring at me from above. He makes sure to float above me so that he’s always at a higher place. That’s what you get when you’re really short, I guess.

  “You had your opportunity, Esuh. You destroyed the species before you, as we did with you. How you alone survived is beyond me, but since you’re here, this means you’re the chosen one anointed by the Cube.”

  “You have a big mouth for someone that died many years ago. Also, you let yourself get extinct by tree people? Come on, I thought Nusae were mighty warriors and great scientists and whatsoever. At your prime, you were strong enough to match us. How did you let them get the better of you?”

  He suddenly becomes gloomy; I must have hit a soft spot or something. That’s before he starts talking.

  “We got old, Esuh. Tired. Weak! We reigned over the galaxy for many, many years. The Phadh came out of nowhere and could outlive us. We were unprepared and managed to push them back many times, but then we got news that they have found another mysterious artifact, one like this cube.

  “They came up with a new technology that we couldn’t match. Maybe it was us, not hiding the fact that mysterious weapons like this cube existed, or it was our weakness to foresee our doom. Either way, here we are my old adversary. I, your old enemy, instructing you on how to destroy the world once again.”

  “Bullshit. The Esuh never got tired of fighting, even when everything was falling apart around us. We didn’t even know that a thing like this fucking cube existed before you, the Nusae, brought it to the surface and still no one could match
our strength. You were just weak. Even so, I’m here now so let’s get this over and done with.”

  The small, blue creature flies close to me and stretches one of its hands. It barely touches my skin, and I feel my hair prickle. When the Nusae pulls back its finger, I know everything that there is to know about the cube. How the conscience of the one unlocking it must remain imprisoned inside it to carry this message to the next anointed one by the Cube; how I’m doomed to die the moment I activate this cube.

  How to find the place where the cube will start the process and how the universe is full of cubes like this. This one belongs to this galaxy and this galaxy only, but there are as many cubes out there as there are galaxies. And that frightens me.

  It takes me a moment to sip everything in, but when it’s is over, I have no doubts about what I have to do.

  “So, the doctor was right. Everything depends on my choice after all,” I say.

  “Yes. The real mystery is what will you choose now that this war isn’t yours,” the creature says and starts wandering off.

  “Wait! I have more questions. How do I stop it? There’s nothing in here on how to stop it. I have to choose either to kill the humans or the Phadh?” I shout, but he’s long gone now.

  There’s something strange with this planet. I feel like I’ve been here before.

  It’s only after I start wandering off myself that I understand. This planet was everything that remained in the memory of that Esuh. It was his home planet before it got destroyed, and the lighted place was the active part of his memory.

  Everything fades away quickly. I open my eyes, and I’m back in the shuttle.

  “Is everything alright?” Eladia says to me.

  I nod and close my eyes again. I feel terribly tired

  Eladia

  The silence inside the shuttle feels awkward. Even though we all know that Jay has these strange cube-related visions, it’s difficult not to feel intimidated by the power of this mass-extinction ancient relic. When the light finally disappears, we all look at Jay, waiting for something to happen. Maybe an explanation would be good right now.

  “Is everything alright?” I ask him.

  “Yes...no. I don’t know. I just had a pretty strange vision,” he replies to me.

  Jay seems more tired than yesterday and the day before. To be honest, he hasn’t changed into his other form for five days now, since the day I told him the truth about my feelings. Sure, we’re having the time of our lives, but it would be nice if I could see the other Jay again and explain things to him, even just for a moment.

  It’s not that I didn’t like him, that’s far from true. I just liked his dangerous personality better. I know, that doesn’t say much for my personality, but I’m done chasing theories and ideal pictures of romance. Right now, it’s just hard, cold truth all the way.

  Jay seems to have trouble speaking his mind. Inside the shuttle, Silver and I look at each other, trying to understand what’s going on, but it’s futile. Zan seems as lost as us; Pyro wears that hellish red mask that keeps reminding me of the night he killed my friends, the corrupt human Originators that were paid by the humans to have the Phadh species annihilated by using the Nusae Relic. And Doctor Cross...well, he’s just as gloomy ever.

  The two gray-masked brothers stayed back to the juggernaut with Alyce; they have no reason to endanger their lives for our battle. I don’t want them anywhere close to this planet, but also, if we end up surviving this thing, then we need a way out of Yaerus.

  I’m not sure I like the idea of having a team with people that are so self-centered and emotionally unstable, but I’m also trained now, and I can make up for any holes in our teamwork. It’s just that I hope I’ll be enough.

  “We’re five minutes away from the predefined landing spot. It’s 7:00 pm, Yaerus time. Brace yourselves for a rough landing. It’s going to be tough gentlemen,” Silver says, using a different accent today than the one she used yesterday.

  Zan seems pleasantly entertained with that game of theirs. On the other hand, Silver is probably trying different accents to fit her new-found sentient powers. I’m not sure I have this whole thing figured out yet, but they both seem so happy with each other that I would be a resentful bitch if I spoiled it for them.

  I check my safety belt and wait to hear that clicking sound that means that it’s in place. For Silver, the best pilot in the crew, to say that it’s going to be a difficult landing, it probably means that we may not get out of this unscathed.

  The closer we get to the ground the louder the explosions outside sound. I’m not exactly sure what it’s exploding over and over again, but I’m not sure I want to know at the same time. Mosa used to be a safe place, a place where people could trust humans to protect them. Now it’s just a shadow of itself.

  Silver is right, though. The blasts from the continuous explosions toss the shuttle around, pushing us onto the debris of a building. The metal hull of the shuttle subsides on that side, leading to Cross and Pyro unbuckling their belts to avoid getting hit by the receding metal. They spend the rest of the journey trying not to break a bone or get seriously hurt by jumping up and down into shuttle, counter-matching the random movements caused by the explosions.

  “One minute to landing! Patience boys! We’ll be on the ground in a minute,” Silver says again.

  This time, Zan doesn’t have the same jovial expression as before. He’s afraid, never quite getting used to flying in a shuttle.

  The two men nod and continue walking up and down the tight aisle of the shuttle. They’re trained assassins, elite operatives of an underground organization that tries to retain peace in the Known Galaxy. At least that’s what they’re saying to us. Still, seeing them utilize the small space of the shuttle, and even each other, while trying to get out of this situation without a serious injury, it seems almost like a supernatural dance. Even Jay looks at them in awe.

  A sudden tremor, followed by the engines stopping, can only mean that we have finally landed on Mosa.

  “That was it, people. I hope everyone is okay,” Silver says.

  Pyro and Cross look at each other, slowly panting while trying to catch up their breaths. They look like they do this kind of things every day. It’s almost impossible to match these people.

  “We’re fine. We have to be careful from now on, though. We have no idea what we’ll meet outside. Grab your things and stay close. We have to find a safe place to camp for the night. It’s too late now to start towards the energy signal,” Pyro says.

  Cross agrees, but Jay doesn’t seem ready to follow their command just yet. He stands up and strides in front of him, stopping him from getting out of the shuttle. His eyes are glassy, and his face seems even darker than usual. It’s like he’s burning in fever.

  “Why don’t we just use this shitty shuttle and fly there? There’s no time to lose. The Nusae bug told me,” he suddenly says.

  Nusae...bug? What is he talking about? He doesn’t make any sense.

  “If we use the shuttle to fly to the energy signal, we’re all going to die,” Cross says, trying to appease Jay. But he doesn’t hear a thing.

  “You’re such a pussy. If we don’t hurry there, a whole species is going to die, and it’s gonna be your fault. The cube is at a crucial point. It’s almost unlocked, and if we’re not there by the time it does, I won’t be able to control it,” he says.

  That seems to grant him the benefit of the doubt. Cross looks at me and then at Pyro. He doesn’t know what to say.

  “Tell us, Jasih. What did that last vision tell you? What do you mean we’re running out of time?” Pyro asks him.

  “You stupid people. We’re so close to our destination, and you’re searching for explanations.” He rubs his eyes; he probably has difficulty staying awake. “Fine. I’ll tell you what the Nusae told to me, only if you promise to listen to me.”

  We all nod at the same
time. Still not out of the shuttle and problems arose. I’m starting to think that maybe we’re not ready yet to deal with an interplanetary crisis.

  “Okay. So, in my vision, one of the Nusae, the previous chosen of the cube, told me that this technology doesn’t work as we thought it does. The whole puzzle-solving, treasure-hunting thing that we did this whole time was to stabilize the cube’s core by visiting high-energy locations around the galaxy or inducing emotionally-strong situations. That’s why I get the same vision of a woman jumping off a building all the time. But now that the four of the five insignias are carved on the cube, things have changed.

  “It took us too long to get here, so the cube is now ready to unlock by itself. If that happens, then the automated system that would allow me to stop it, it will actually tear us to pieces and destroy the whole solar system in its wake. But it doesn’t end there. The explosion will then distort the space and time continuum, resulting in a vicious cycle of us coming back to life and dying again and again for centuries. I tell you that we’re close to creating hell’s butthole and traveling there with first-class seats reserved.”
