“You can trust me, Cindy. Your life will be magical if you just allow me to show you and prove it to you. I’m already working overtime trying to do the same thing for the people of my planet.
“There’s just one thing I really want from you.” Cindy sat up straight and looked me in the eyes.
“What’s that?” I took her hand and stroked it with my thumb.
“I want to see the true Togtulir. I want to see what you really look like. Don’t hide from me anymore, and I promise I won’t hide from you either. If this relationship is going to work, it needs to be free of judgment, and it starts now.”
Chapter 12
Cindy
Togtulir was immensely self-conscious about shifting into his true form in front of me. I had already seen Drozalia, and other Cardalphian’s in their native blue skin. It didn’t bother me. In fact, I had gotten used to seeing it, and I was not afraid to peel off the layers he had been trying to shelter from me. I only wished he would realize I was here to be his partner, along for the wild ride no matter what he looked like on the outside.
“Come on, I have broken down my walls and let you see my vulnerabilities. If you say I can trust you, then you have to be willing to trust me too. It takes two people to steer a relationship in the right direction you know.” I winked at him and he sighed, tossing me an eye roll. I had worn him down and he knew it. The stereotypical nagging wife traits had already begun to click in and we weren’t even married yet.
Before I realized what was happening, Togtulir stood up and flexed his enormous muscular body. Little by little, his skin gradually transformed into the same blue shade resembling Drozalia and all the others I’ve witnessed on Cardalph. I stared at him mesmerized, my mouth hanging open. He was even more breathtakingly handsome than I could have ever imagined. When he was in his human shifted form, it did not do him justice.
“Oh, my God. Togtulir, you are gorgeous!” I jumped up and touched him, drawn to the calming blue color of his skin. The shade made me think of an extremely blue sky in the middle of the day in summer time. It was the kind of sky without a trace of clouds. It was peaceful and I was floored with a new kind of passion I hadn’t felt toward him before.
He stood taller with each compliment I glittered his way. He puffed out his chest. “Take off your shirt, baby!” I fist pumped the air in a playful way to make him feel more comfortable. He was hands down the most attractive man I had ever seen, and I couldn’t believe he actually wanted to marry me. I was pretty in my own way, but standing next to him I looked down right dull, vanilla and beige.
I gently traced my fingertips over the tops of his biceps and forearms, slowly back and forth until I could feel goosebumps prickle his skin. I looked up at him and he was grinning back at me. “Why did you hide your true form from me all this time?”
“I didn’t want to scare you off. I wanted you to love me for who I was on the inside, not who I was on the outside.”
At that moment, I could have melted myself into a puddle on the floor with the way he was opening his heart to me. “Come here, you,” I breathed into his ear as he leaned down to me.
I kissed his earlobe, tickled his neck with my lips. He scooped me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. We went inside the house and collapsed together on the couch in the living room. I felt his six pack which was rock hard under my fingertips, overwhelming my senses and sending them surging into overdrive. His muscles throbbed and pulsed outside his skin in an electrifyingly sexual way.
They seemed even more pronounced, now that he was in his true blue-skinned alien form. But I didn’t want to think of him as an alien. I hadn’t used that reference now, and I didn’t want to draw a line dividing us in any way. We were both created in the same universe, constructed in order to spread love. I couldn’t believe I was about to make love to this gorgeous creature. He wanted me just as much as I wanted him, and that was all that mattered.
We undressed each other desperately. His teeth pulled at my bra and it came off in one swoop. “Baby,” I moaned and got on top of him, straddling his stomach while he squeezed and molded my tits. He licked my nipples and pinched them. I loved the feeling of pain and pleasure during sex. He brought everything I needed to the table and more.
I climbed off him and grabbed his pants, fingering his zipper to rip them off. His cock was bulging out of his boxer shorts and I couldn’t wait to look at it. To touch and play with it. With an eager force, I needed to get my hands and mouth all over it. I tugged at his boxers, the anticipation of seeing his hard-blue cock was making me wild. Once I finally freed it, it was huge, blue, and pointing up to the ceiling with arousal.
I put my mouth on it and began to suck. He tasted so good, it drove me crazy. His scent was powerful, masculine, and perfect. He pushed the back of my head down further between his legs until I had all of his juicy cock in my mouth. I thrust my jaw up and down his hard shaft, rubbing his balls with my free hands. He cried out in pleasure and told me he was about to cum all over my face.
I used my tongue to tickle the tip of his cock while he thrust in my mouth while on top of me. We were both naked, and our bodies meshed so well with a perfect balance and blend of color. “I’m gonna cum all over your pretty little face!” He shouted out and blew his warm load into my mouth, with some of it squirting onto my face.
After he had recovered, a devilish grin stretched across his delicious lips. “Now it’s your turn, little lady.” He opened my legs and plunged his mouth into my already soaking wet pussy. He licked, sucked, and teased at my clit until I, too, succumbed to the pleasure my nerve endings had to offer. I came with him still between my legs, and I pushed him further and further into me until I collapsed into my climax.
“We aren’t done yet.” He began to rub his cock on my tits, then onto my sensitive and relaxed pussy. He turned me over until I was on all fours on the floor. I felt him enter my pussy from behind. His cock was so hard and huge it filled me. He rocked back and forth and slapped my ass. I loved his blue dick thrusting inside of me.
I loved being fucked from behind, but doggy-style didn’t allow me to see him, and I wanted to stare at him for as long as I could. I never wanted this moment to end. I turned my body around and spread my legs wide open, wrapping them around his buff blue body. He rubbed my clit with his free hand while he used the other to hold onto my hair, pulling it in just the right way.
Deeper and deeper he rammed his cock inside me until we both came together at the peak of our passion. Once it was over, we both looked at each other in unison and began to have a fit full of giggles. I was sweaty and clammy and my hair was matted to the side of my head. The room smelled of sweat and sex and I loved the intensity of the love we had just shared.
I couldn’t believe how well we had connected, being from two different planets, two different species. I wondered what our kids would look like if we had babies together, but didn’t want to mention that yet and scare him off. I had no idea whether he wanted kids, but I knew he loved to fuck me and I craved more and more.
“Come cuddle me. You’re too far away.” Togtulir reached over to me, even though I was only a few inches from him. His skin felt warm and protective. I wanted to stay wrapped up with him forever.
He held me and we lay together in silence, just basking in the love we’d just made. “I think I’m ready,” I said after a time, craning my neck up to look at him beside me. He had a faint amount of stubble on his face, which made him seem even sexier.
“What are you ready for?” He propped one arm behind his head and kissed the top of my head.
“To give us a chance, to make this relationship with you work. I think I’m falling for you. I see the light now, and I know that Drozalia tricked me to get me to leave.” I sniffed and a sudden surge of anger bounced through me. I quickly tried to shrug it off, because tonight was about Togtulir and me rekindling our flame. The Drozalia mess could wait for another day.
I felt exhausted by all the sex we’d had ton
ight, but I was ready to make my decision. “I want to stay here, with you forever. Not on the island, mind you, because I know you must go back to Cardalph. I want to go back with you there, too.”
He pulled me close to him until I was lying halfway atop his chest. “Darling, I would love nothing more in this world for you to return to Cardalph with me so we can start fresh, a new life together. I want you to be my wife more than anything. And we both know it’s a big world out there. The fact that we found each other should mean something.”
“It means everything.” It’s all I had to say and I instantly knew it meant forever.
Chapter 13
Togtulir
“Drozalia!”
She spun around from the spot she was lounging, fanning herself with a book on her back patio. She was wearing one of her signature long dresses. Her hair was up in the same braid style she always worse, and her huge sunglasses hid her eyes and her expression.
When she saw me charging toward her, she flashed me a joyful smile until she noticed my smoldering glare and fists clenched at my sides.
“Hey, Togtulir, what’s up?” She put down her makeshift fan and pulled up her sunglasses to her head, swiveling to greet me.
“I need to discuss something very important with you,” I growled, standing above her and blocking her little sunbathing party.
“What’s wrong?” She sounded timid and nervous, a quality I was surprised to hear, thinking that trait was lacking on somebody like Drozalia.
“You are what’s wrong. Why were you trying to sabotage my budding romance with Cindy? She was going to leave the planet without a second thought, or even a goodbye, no thanks to you. Luckily, I was able to catch her in time and talk her back down to reality before she slipped through my fingers forever.”
I kept my glare aimed right into her now visible eyes. I wanted her to grasp the magnitude of her meddling in business she had no right to be in. At my statement, Drozalia’s face fell into a wince of heartbreak, but she quickly recovered.
“That little bitch,” She murmured and stared past me and out at her own house pool, a luxury only the richer people could afford on Cardalph. Since her father worked at one of the banks here as a high-profile businessman, she could enjoy a lifestyle of relaxation and pampering. I hated that he shoved money at her like a spoiled little brat.
I found it extremely annoying that she didn’t have to work for anything, even though I had considered her a loyal friend for most of my life.
“Err, excuse me?” I pitched my hand to my ear, wanting her to repeat the vile words I thought she’d just spewed.
She returned my glare. “You just don’t get it, do you, Togtulir?”
“Get what? What are you talking about?” I threw my arms up in the air, exasperated by this conversation that was leading nowhere.
She shifted her skin color to appear human. I raised my eyebrows. “What’s this about?”
“Now do you notice me, Togtulir? If I look like her, could I get a second glance from you?” Tears filled her eyes but I still wasn’t grasping whatever it was that she was trying to tell me, so she pressed on. “I’ve loved you my whole life, Togtulir,” her voice cracked, and she walked slowly over to me, placing her hand on my arm.
I looked down at her human looking hand completely stunned by this revelation, she’s just blasted my way. “All this time, you had love waiting for you. Staring you in the face and you turned a blind eye.”
“I didn’t know you were in love with me, Drozalia. How can you point a finger at me when I was completely unaware?”
Ignoring my question, she leaned in closer until our mouths were only an inch apart. Her breath smelled like cherries, and her lips were dazzled even more red than usual with the human appearing skin she was currently wearing. She opened her mouth slightly, pursing them in my direction. I was paralyzed to move away, she had me under some kind of temporary spell.
She took my chin in her perfectly manicured fingers, pulled me closer and closer until her tongue opened my lips and slid inside my mouth. Before she could continue further, I pulled away violently. “Stop it, Drozalia. What do you think is going to happen here? That you can just profess your love for me and bam! we live happily ever after? It doesn’t work that way and you know it.”
I had touched a nerve, and I could feel her sizzling. “You act like you’re so perfect, Togtulir, a wondrous catch. I’ve watched you over the years, women throwing themselves at you and you were just eating it up. All that attention. But nobody respected you, and you have a long way to go, especially when it comes to the elders of Cardalph. You’re a joke. You know that right? The pathetic little rich boy, heir to the throne as ruler, but he can’t pull his own head out of his ass long enough to know which direction to move in.”
“You are messing with forces beyond your understanding, Drozalia,” I snarled at her and pointed a finger directly in her face, which she shoved away rashly.
“What about those prisoners huh? When are you going to let them go big shot? Mr. High and Mighty? Your precious Cindy didn’t like that much, did she? That was most of the reason she wanted to leave Cardalph. Better get to fixing that, Mr. Perfect.” Her tone mocked me and made me rethink everything I had worked so hard to build over these past several weeks.
“I don’t know what you expect from me, Drozalia. I’m not in love with you, and I never will be.” I shot her down in one fell swoop out of anger and spite in the heat of the argument.
Drozalia took a few steps back from me. I knew she would need time to lick her wounds. On the way over to her house, I had rehearsed in my mind how I would blow up at her and banish her completely from Cardalph to punish her for what she did to Cindy. Now I knew there was no way I would be able to get away with that. Drozalia was in a soft and vulnerable position now, and I needed some time to think for myself too.
Shifting her skin back to its original blue pigment, her posture deflated and she looked drained and defeated. “You had love on Cardalph all along, Togtulir. Why didn’t you want to find it?”
“I wasn’t able to feel a love I didn’t know existed. That’s how the universe works, Drozalia. You won’t know it’s there until you feel it, too. You were always just a friend to me, nothing more.”
Tears rolled down her cheeks and I felt the burden of guilt for being the culprit in this mess. I had no idea I was in the middle of a love triangle, but I wanted to make sure Cindy stayed unaware. She had already been through the ringer enough as it was during her few days on a different planet. It was a lot for her to try to adapt to; life with a foreign species in her eyes, and I needed to make sure from now on that I would be there to catch her if she fell.
“So, where do we go from here?” Drozalia’s eyes pleaded with me. I was her only weak spot. She would never expel this amount of emotion to anyone else and I knew that.
“I won’t banish you from Cardalph for playing mind games with Cindy, but I want you to stay away from her from now on.”
She just stared through me for several seconds, without muttering a word. “Drozalia, do I have your agreement?”
She nodded her head feebly. I could feel her hurt, but I couldn’t lead her on into something she dreamed would come to fruition that would never be. As I turned to leave and return to the palace, Drozalia called out to me. “You’ll see the light, Togtulir. You’ll come running back to me once you realize the mistake you’ve made.”
I knew she wanted to have the last word so it would ring in my mind. That was the type of person Drozalia was. She was too proud to wave the white flag of defeat. She had to prove to everyone around her that she had a hard shell and a tough exterior. Only I knew her better than that, which is why I just paused briefly but didn’t turn around before walking out of sight.
Not wanting to lead Cindy to any further suspicion about my commitment toward her, I had told her I would be out most of the day. I didn’t know how long I would be at Drozalia’s, and now that I was seething and reeling from o
ur argument and the new-found knowledge that she had loved me all her life…I had to clear my head.
I walked down to the creek where my dad first taught me how to fish. We had spent many early mornings out there together. I could still hear the sound of the reel as he pulled his rod from the water, with me hoping there would be a trophy fish to bring home on the other end. I wondered if I would be even half the father that my dad had been to me. Now that he was deceased, I couldn’t help but feel the remorse for all the grief and suffering I had put him through during my wild days.
“If you’re out there, Dad, I just want to let you know I’m sorry,” I said into the air, as the wind blew my confession through the trees.
Drozalia mentioning the prisoners made me step back and think about the choices I’ve made. I probably needed to let them go. Even she was confused about why they were still being held on Cardalph. They obviously posed no immediate threat and I couldn’t go on allowing them to rot in those dark cells. I would go home after this and tell Cindy I would consider freeing them after I ruled out any dangerous factors that could go wrong. I hoped she would love me more for this.
I was having a hard time focusing on anything because I was reliving all the past mistakes I’d made in my life. Drozalia’s harsh words slapped me in the face with the reality and scope of what I’ve gotten myself into. I felt numb on the inside. I leaned over and splashed my hand into the cold water of the running creek. I loved the bubble and trickle sound the water made as it hit and splashed the rocks.
I haven’t exactly made the best decisions in my life, and now I was wondering if bringing Cindy to Cardalph was one of the regretful ones. I was falling in love with her, I knew that much. But was I being selfish in keeping her here?
