"Dammit.”
Chapter 3
KARISSA LANE
I was relieved that Kai was taking me back to Earth. I really thought I was going to have to fight him to do so so. It was a welcoming statement when he told me. I did feel some remorse, but I was not going to tell him that. I was regretting putting him in the vast amount of danger that was going to result from him helping me escape. I was sure that the Corillion would figure it out as soon as they discovered the body of their leader, Yiqua. Then they would discover that I was missing and that Kai had left during that time on his ship. I didn't see how he could ever cover up such a thing. It would have to be a very clever lie with a lot of support, and I wasn't sure if that was going to happen.
Would they put him to death for helping me? I didn't see why not. I felt sorry for him. Even though he was a major jerk for stealing me away in the first place, I had grown fond of him and the time we spent together. He took my sarcastic mouth with ease and even teased me back, which was a rare thing among both Corillion and human men. I liked that he was able to take my lip and dish it back to me. It was fun. It was our thing. It was what we did.
So because of that, I felt sorry for him, because he would surely die. If not by his own Corillion people putting him to death when they found out what he had done, then he would die due to the fact that he did not have a human female mate yet. The Corillion warrior race had 22-year cycles to find a mate to create offspring and keep their race going, if they did not by the 22-year mark, then they would die. It was strange, but it made sense.
The Corillion warrior race were not born the way humans were. Instead, they were spawned. They spawned on the surface of asteroids, moons, and comets. It was like a mushroom spawning on the ground after the rain. Except the Corillion spawned to full adult males over a short period of time. They would emerge from the spawn and begin their year cycle. It was very interesting, and unlike anything that humans had ever come across, and we were constantly learning about them.
Now, I was heading home with more intelligence about the Corillion alien race than I could ever hope to collect while on the lunar base. I would be the envy of my entire department. I would probably get a promotion and a raise. I had been through exactly what every human female had been through when taken from Earth, and that was very valuable information. It would help us to stop the Corillion race from taking our females; it would also help in the war. I had seen their weapons, and I had seen one asteroid and the layout of it. That information would be vital when planning an attack on it. I got very excited with all of this information, but it made me feel sad that I was betraying my one and only Corillion friend.
"Dammit. Stop it, Karissa. You're acting like you have Stockholm Syndrome,” I said to myself as I dried off in my bunk after a shower. I wished that I had the black space suit from the lunar base, but I only had this stupid flimsy dress. And although it was pretty, it was not very practical, especially not on the space mission.
I wondered how Kai was going to smuggle me back onto the lunar base or onto Earth without getting caught? I knew we should definitely talk about it. I would be betraying my entire department by not turning him in, but in my heart, I could not do that. I would just let him knock me out like he had before, leave me, and then I would wake up on the lunar base. But how would he get there? I dried my hair rigorously as I thought about this and walked into the hallway to search for him to get every single ounce of detail about how we were going to do this out of him. He would probably find it annoying, but I did not care. We needed to be on the same page.
"Kai? Kai? We need to talk. You need to tell me every detail of your plan. Do you hear me? I have a right to know,” I said, searching for him ready with a mouthful for him, but when I found him, I was speechless. I stood there in shock. The door to the shower room was wide open and he was completely naked and drenched underneath the showerhead. The roar of the water stopped him from hearing me coming, and I was glad for it.
I leaned against the wall and crossed my arms in front of my chest and smiled. “Talk about a dinner and a show,” I whispered to myself. I watched as the water poured over his long blond hair that was wet and sticking to him. His broad back was muscular firm and strong with blue scales edging the side of him. I had seen all of this before because the Corillion warriors were always shirtless, topless, showing off their perfect physical features.
But then my eyes moved south, over a perfect bottom, perky and tight. I had to restrain myself from wanting to slap it. I quietly laughed to myself. But then when he turned, I got an eye full. My mouth fell open. His large, rigid cock was long and thick, and it was in his hand. I quickly hid behind the wall and bit my lower lip. It was not right for me to watch, but I could not help myself.
I peeked around the side and saw him. One hand was leaning against the wall as the other was on his hard staff. His head was tilted back in the water as he closed his eyes. Then his hand moved up and down, faster and faster on his cock. I had to restrain myself from running into the shower and joining him. I had never seen a Corillion warrior completely naked before and it was breathtaking. Not only was his hard cock perfect, but his entire body was, including his muscular thighs. There was nothing about him that wasn't perfect and chiseled.
I bit my lower lip as I watched him jerk himself off in the shower. I squeezed my legs together starting to feel completely wet myself between my thighs. I felt my nipples grow hard and press against the fabric of the dress. My breathing was heavy and hard. He was so damn hot, and I was enjoying the show. Not just because he was absolutely perfect, but because I knew him. I knew him well, and I considered him a friend now; I felt connected. Then I watched as his arm that was against the wall grew tight and tense. He began to groan and grunt and I knew what was coming. He jerked his hand up and down harder and harder and then he released in the shower. He was moaning and groaning, and amongst the groaning, I heard, “Karissa…"
I gasped! I hid! I didn't know if he said my name in such a sensual whisper because he knew I was watching or because he was imagining that I was with him. Either way, I was running back to my bunk very embarrassed, and very, very, very turned on.
"Oh my God, Karissa! Did you really just see that? You are such a pervert! I should have walked away as soon as I walked in on that. I am a terrible person, but why did it seem so right? Why am I so extremely turned on?” I whispered to myself as I walked back and forth in my bunk. I knew that I needed some release and I needed to do it now.
I locked the door to the bunk and I got into the bed. Then I began to rub my hands up and down my body. I was already turned on so it wasn't going to take much. I pulled the dress all the way up to my waist and then I began to fondle myself with my fingers. I imagined that my finger was his finger as I pressed against my clitoris. I moaned, “Mmm...touch me, Kai. Touch me harder harder," I whispered as I pictured being next to him in the shower. We were both drenched in the shower ,touching each other and going at it wildly. I licked his six-pack abs, letting my tongue move over his blue scales. In that moment, I released. “Oh god! Oh god!" I shouted, not caring how loud I got. My whole body pulsed as I released a lot of tension that I had been carrying since I’d first laid eyes on Kai.
Then I slept. I slept deeply for the first time since I was taken from the lunar base. It was a very deep sleep, and I was well rested and relaxed when I woke up. Eight hours later, I went to the kitchen to get something to drink and eat. Kai was standing there. As soon as I saw him, flashes of him dripping wet in the shower came back to me. I felt my face turn red. I lowered my eyes to the ground.
"Did you sleep well, Karissa?" he asked, and I thought I heard a bit of laughter and his voice. I didn't look up at him, but I went straight to the water and poured myself a cup.
"Yes,” I answered.
"I did too. I slept very well after a very long relieving shower. It was just what I needed to relax me,” he said to me. I turned to him and looked up at his towering form. His hair was pull
ed back into a bun low on his head, except for a few tendrils that fell over his eyes. He wasn't wearing a shirt, as usual, just his blues scales and very tight trousers and boots. He had an arrogant grin on his face, as though he knew I had watched him in the shower.
"Yes, you really did need a shower. You didn't exactly smell good. Glad you took care of that problem. Now if you'll excuse me, I would like to do a little stretching and yoga in my bunk. Can't let my strength wane just because I am forced to be in space for long periods of time. It really does impact our bodies, you know,” I said, grabbing a silver packet of protein along with my cup of water and taking it to my room. I shut myself in and had my breakfast alone, along with my morning yoga. I felt silly because it seemed rather obvious to me that he knew not only that I had spied on him, but that I had done what he had done in the shower, only in the privacy of my own room. It was embarrassing and frustrating.
Chapter 4
CAPTAIN KAI SPORNIUM
This trip taking Karissa back to the Earthlings was very different from the trip that I took to take her from the Earthlings to the Corillion galaxy. For one, when I stole her from the lunar base, I was taking her to be the wife of another Corillion leader, therefore I could not touch her. She was not mine; she was to belong to Yiqua. Touching her would have violated the rules of the Corillion warrior.
But now, she belonged to no one. In fact, I was returning her to never be a part of the Corillion world ever again. There were no rules keeping me from enjoying her company, that is except for her own rules, which I would not violate. She would have to want me in return. It would be different, because it would be for fun only, and I had never been with a human female, as most Corillion had not. So this was all new territory for me.
At first, I had no hope that she would want to be with me simply for fun and then return to her home planet never to see me again—that was until I caught her watching me in the shower. That changed everything. That let me know that she found me attractive, and enjoyed my naked show of release. It let me know that she found me desirable and did indeed want to explore the possibility of having some fun. So this was very different from the first trip we took together when I took her from the moon base when she was already promised to another, but not now.
I couldn't help myself when she walked into the kitchen. I wanted to tease her about watching me shower, but without admitting to her that I knew. But it was fun to tease her. I enjoyed the fact that she was watching me. It turned me on more than I could ever imagine. As soon as I realized that she had been watching me, I secretly hoped that she would join me in the shower, but she did not. But knowing that she was watching me made me release that much faster. It was very erotic. Then afterward, when I walked by her bunk, I heard her shouting and whispering and grunting and groaning, and I knew that she was doing exactly what I had just indulged in. She too was turned on and had to release herself after watching me in the shower; this was all very promising toward my goal of being with her, if she would have me.
"Will you teach me?” she said as she entered the flight deck where I was sitting behind the controls.
"Teach you what?” I asked.
"Teach me to fly this hunk of junk. I've always been curious as to how they work," she said.
"You want me to teach you to fly?” I asked her.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying,” she said as she sat down in the seat next to mine.
"All right, if you wish,” I said to her.
"Taking her out of hyperspeed," I said as I flipped a few switches and safely took the ship out of hyperspeed. Soon we were floating through the blackness of space.
"These are the main controls right here. Take them into your hands. This one veers right, and this one veers left. Push them forward to go straight ahead and back to go backward. It is fairly basic. This controls the speed, and this is your brake,” I said as I explained everything to her on the dashboard. She eagerly and intelligently took it all in. I was impressed with her ability to pick it up.
"This is fun!” she said as she veered the ship sharply to the right recklessly.
"Whoa! Not so fast! Don't be reckless!" I shouted to her, holding onto my seat. She just laughed and continued to play with the ship in a very fun way. I smiled at her.
"Are all human females like you? I have taken many before and have never encountered one like you, but you cannot be the only one of your kind,” I asked her.
"No. I am one-of-a-kind. But I don't like the way you said you have taken many before; you say it so casually. You do know that what you're doing is wrong, right? How long will it take for you to see that?” she said in a stern tone.
"My entire race depends on it; when will you see that?” I said to her. “I think you've had enough fun for now,” I said, taking control of the ship.
"How long do you have? How long do you yourself have before you… expire?” she asked.
"That is none of your concern,” I said as I put the ship back into hyperspeed and then unbuckled myself, ready to leave the flight deck.
"You're not going to tell me? Why did you not take me for yourself? Why did you take me for Yiqua instead of for you? It does not make sense to me. Why risk your life for another when you might die waiting for your own human female?" she asked.
"It is the Corillion way. It is how it is done. The Corillion leaders have women brought to them by the rest of us warriors. I too am a leader, but my tribe is so small that Yiqua oversees his tribe as well as mine. I am almost like a secondary leader. Therefore I had to find him a female before I could find one of my own. I thought I had done that and could see to my own needs, but as you see, you changed all that," I said to her.
"So what will happen now? When you return to the Corillion galaxy, Yiqua will be gone. What will be your next steps? Will you be able to claim a mate of your own? Will it be in enough time, or will you die?” she asked bluntly.
"I have seven months of my cycle left to find one. If I do not mate, then I will die,” I said as I walked away from her, not wanting to speak of it anymore. I had been raised to not care about my perish cycle. I had been taught not to think much of it, and she was making me think about it. She was going to make me count down the months that I had left, but it was not how I was taught to be the fearless Corillion warrior and captain that I was. I had always put my leader before my own needs; nothing should change that. Not even a gorgeous human female that turned me on beyond belief like this one before me. She was a deadly temptress and everything that I could ever hope for, but it was not meant to be for us.
"Look, I know how much trouble you're going through to get me back to Earth. And even though it is your fault that I am in this to begin with, jerk, I am grateful that you are doing this. I know that you could have left me on that asteroid hovering over Yiqua’s dead body where I would be put to death. I am grateful for your risk in taking me home. If there is something that I could do for you, I would. Maybe when we get back to the lunar base I can bring you provisions secretly or something, I don't know, but there must be a way to repay you,” she said as she walked behind me from the flight deck to the kitchen. There was no getting away from her in this very small ship with just the two of us.
"You want to repay me?" I said as I turned to her. She was not expecting me to stop so abruptly and turn around and she crashed directly into my chest. She just stopped in shock and lifted her head to look up at me. Her blue eyes were beautiful and she was so petite underneath me.
"If I can repay you, I will. What is it that you will need? Food? Fuel?" she said as she stood underneath me, but did not move.
"You can repay me by saving my life,” I said to her. Her eyes grew wide as she looked at my chest, down to my abs, and then down to my cock.
"Do you mean… you want me to have sex with you?” she asked.
"Precisely. It is the only way to save my life. You do not have to stay my forever mate, just a one-time thing."
"No!” she said as she ran away from me.

KARISSA LANE
I walked away from him and back to my bunk. How could he ask that of me? I could not have sex with him to save his life. It would be going against everything that I had worked for in the E.I.A.
I was an intelligence officer who had vowed to help the humans stop the Corillion from taking females from Earth. It was my duty. By having sex with Kai, I would be going against that completely. Then I had to admit that I had thought about it more than I should have, especially after last night. Watching him in the shower was something that I could not get out of my mind. It wasn't because I was a virgin or held sex in such an emotional high regard; in fact, I’d had my fair share of one night stands.
I had been trained in a military-style boot camp with plenty of young, attractive men, so of course I indulged. We all did. So being with Kai would be just like one of those drunken one-night stands, another notch on my bedpost and nothing else. But it was the fact that he was a Corillion; I was supposed to be at war with his kind. It would be very wrong.
