“Hello, Evlon,” she said blushing. I looked at the soldier. He nodded and left the floor to give us some privacy.
“Miranda, do you miss me? I know you do,” I said grinning at her. She looked at the door nervously and took some steps away from it. I assumed she did not want her team to hear what she had done.
“Evlon, I…” she said timidly.
“Are you feeling well? Are you able to walk straight after my cock was inside of you like that?” I asked.
“Shhh, Evlon. Please don’t talk like that. I should not have done that.”
“Done what exactly? Treated my hurt thigh, or sat on my hard cock?”
She gasped.
I laughed. I watched as her breathing grew faster. I wanted her right then and there. I wanted to pick her up and pin her against the wall while I entered her from behind. I had no intention of having this foreplay talk in the hallway, but she just brought it out in me. I did not know what it was about this timid human female that turned me into a raging, horny beast.
“The sex,” her voice was barely a whisper in her reply.
“Why not? I enjoyed it, and I know that you had an amazing time. In fact, that is why I am here now. I want you to come to my home tonight, and we can do it all over again, and again, and again…” I said getting closer to her as she backed up against the wall. I ran the back of my hand down her cheek. “Don't you want to see me? Don’t you want to taste my cock again?”
“No, I do not. We cannot do that again, ever. I am sorry, Evlon. That is a secret. I won’t tell anyone. Please, don’t tell Leader Rangellis. That was a one-time thing only. I do not want anything more from you,” she said.
I was silent. The human’s words burned me for some reason. Yes, I was a soldier that indulged in the flesh, and yes, I had many lovers. But for some reason, I did not want her to reject me.
“I don’t need your permission, you know,” I narrowed my eyes at her.
She gasped. She moved to the door and went inside slamming it behind her. The moment I said those words, I regretted it. But it was true. She was a human slave even though she did not know it, but I knew that Rangellis was planning on something like it. But I did not want to forcefully take her. I wanted her to want me. I wanted her to desire me and worship me. Damn it. She would.
I stomped off to find the soldier to guard the door and then jogged through the city to the government office. I had to jog in order to get rid of some of the energy inside of me before my meeting with Rangellis. And I had a lot of anger to get out.
“You wanted to see me Leader Rangellis?” I asked as I entered his chambers.
“Yes. How are the humans?” he asked.
“Very well, though restless. I think they are starting to think they are prisoners,” I said.
“They are. But let’s call them guests for now, shall we?” he laughed.
“Yes, of course, sir.”
“We need to keep them occupied. I want you to bring them to the war game practice tomorrow,” he said.
“Yes, of course, sir. As you wish.”
“I want them to see just how much we enjoy battle. I want them to know that we make sport of carnage. This will be news that will spread among the Earthlings when they return,” he said.
“Return? You mean to let them eventually go back to Earth then?” I asked confused.
“Something like that, but not quite,” he said.
“But we do need to keep them occupied. Tell them that they are invited to war games practice because we want them to have some fun while on Anvin. The human men seemed to enjoy the dinner feasts very much.”
“Yes, I believe they did,” I smiled knowing full well that Miranda’s team had indulged in sex with the Zenkian females. They participated in the orgies alongside the Zenkian males. I had made sure of it. It was all part of conditioning them. It was what Rangellis wanted.”
“Good, now tomorrow I want one of these men to participate in the practice games. Not the captain, as he would then be no use in the future. I want the pilot of the ship to participate,” he said.
“Participate? He will be killed,” I said.
“No, don’t kill him. Make sure that he is not killed. I only want to strike the fear into him.”
“Yes, Leader Rangellis,” I said. I knew there was a reason for his planning, but I did not know what.
“Good. The day after the practice, the humans will be angry. I want you to calm them with these words. Tell them: Leader Rangellis is ready to speak about these peace accords, and has scheduled it for five days from now,” he said.
“I understand,” I said.
“Good, Evlon. Now that the humans are being taken care of, we have word that the Grantsion rebels might be planning an attack. I want you to send out scouts toward the Grantsion mountains to see if they are preparing their forces. I want you to do that now. The humans can wait. They are an afterthought,” he said.
“Yes, sir,” I said grinning. A rebel battle was just what I needed to get this business with the human female Miranda off my mind. It was something I was used to dealing with. I could deal with the stupid rebels and their bullshit soldier armies. They were not ruthless like we were. They did not make sport out of war games, and therefore we were stronger and better than them. We were fierce and cruel.
“In what form did this intelligence come to us so I can follow up and see if anything has been overlooked?” I asked.
“Yes, good point. You are a soldier first, and you think like one. It was received from the spies we have inside the Grantsion mountains near the rebel base. They pose as Zenkian herders that claim to be neutral to the causes,” he said.
“Hmm, and you trust these spies? How do we know they are not setting us up?” I asked.
“We don’t. But it is better to be prepared,” he said.
“That is true,” I said.
“Now go to the military compound and select your scouts. I want a full report first thing tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, Leader Rangellis,” I said saluting him.
I walked out of his chambers and then out of the government building. As I walked out, I saw my home in the tower in the distance. But it wasn’t just my home; it was Miranda’s. She was in there sitting around, just waiting. I pulled my eyes from the tower. “Damn human!” I said.
I moved into a speeder and flew it fast to the military compound.
“I have orders from Leader Rangellis. I need ten scouts armed and ready in ten minutes with a range to the Grantsions and back,” I said to the operations soldier.
“Yes, sir, Evlon, sir,” he said. He got on the communication and issued the orders while I waited.
Soon I had ten soldiers lined up in front of me. These were some of the best scouts that I had, and I had only wanted to use the best at all times. The stuck out their chest in the black uniforms. They stood at attention waiting for my orders.
“Soldiers! Listen here! We have learned that the rebels might be planning to attack us. We don’t know if it is here in our city or if it is a ship coming in. We don’t know if it is a trade route. We only know they are planning something. I need you to go out there and be my eyes and ears. Report back to me anything you see out of the unusual. Is that understood?”
“Sir, yes, sir!” they shouted.
“I want a full report at sunrise tomorrow. Now go!”
They moved into action. Damn, it felt good to be a soldier that was obeyed and feared.
Chapter 12
Miranda
I stood on the sidelines watching the Waysaw soldiers practice. Mostly, I was restraining myself from staring directly at Evlon every chance I got. I wished that I had handled being with him differently. He had wanted to see me again, and I stopped any opportunity of that happening because it was so very wrong and against the very mission I came here for. I was supposed to open the doors for peace between the Zenkians and the humans, and that meant no more Zenkians taking human females. I was afraid. I was afraid of everythi
ng and that someone would find out my secret. The secret that I had sex with an alien enemy.
I was afraid of getting fired from my position that I had worked so hard for. What would happen when I returned to Earth, and they found out I had fucked the enemy? I was afraid of anyone finding. I would disgrace my family.
But most of all, I was afraid of my sexual desires for this alien enemy that did not seem to be going away. The emotions were starting to develop quickly, and it was going way past lust, and that made me very nervous. So I had to cut him off immediately during the conversation in the hallway. I regretted it because I did want to indulge in another round of lustful sex with him, but there was no going back now.
Now I had to act like nothing had occurred between us; that was easier said than done. I kept catching Evlon looking at me looking at him, him with that arrogant grin. I felt like I was naked all over again with the way he looked at me. We were playing this ridiculous eye game, and I looked away every time he caught me. He would flash his dashing grin, and my knees would suddenly go weak. I imagined myself straddling him again on that table, and my body felt heated.
“You! Human!” The voice pulled me out of my daze. It was Leader Rangellis. I had not even seen him come in. He was pointing at our pilot, Brad.
“Me?” Brad said timidly.
“Yes, you. Let’s see what you got. You are in the human army. Let us see your skills,” he said.
“But, I don’t know how to…”
“Oh, come on. It is all just fun and games. It is important that the humans understand the Zenkian way of life if we are to trust you with having a balanced peace accord,” he said looking at me.
I sighed. “Go ahead, Brad,” I said.
He swallowed hard as Evlon gave him a sword and shield. Brad could barely hold the heavy items up. Then Evlon gestured for him to follow him out onto the field.
Brad looked at us and then followed Evlon. Evlon still had a bit of a limp to him. That was a good thing. That meant that he wouldn’t be giving Brad his full game.
“Line up here. When the whistle blows, charge me, and we fight. It is that simple,” Evlon said.
“Practice fight, right?” Brad said.
“Yes, sure,” Evlon said.
I swallowed hard. The two lined up. The whistle blew, and Evlon screamed a fierce scream as he charged at Brad. Brad didn’t stand a chance. One blow with Evlon’s shield and Brad flew back at least four feet. It was hard to watch. Evlon circled him as Brad got up to his feet. He was trembling. Evlon’s sword came down on him, and Brad blocked it with his shield over and over again. Bam! Bam! Bam!
But then Evlon got the better of him and used his own shield swiping it under Brad’s feet. Brad fell to the ground screaming in pain.
“Brad!” I screamed as I ran out to him. The whistle blew. I ran to Brad’s side. He was groaning in a ball on the ground
“Was that necessary, you jerk?!” I screamed at Evlon. He just grinned at me and threw his shield and sword down on the ground. Then without a word, he picked Brad. He scooped him into his arms like a baby, as if he weighed nothing.
“What are you doing? Where are you taking him?” I said following him.
“Inside. You can see to his injuries, and then mine,” he said.
I huffed in annoyance. I followed him to the sidelines.
“Brad, fuck, you all right?” Trevor said.
“It’s all right. I got this. I am going to see to his injuries inside. Continue to watch the practice,” I said to Trevor and Captain James. They were both standing on guard. But what could they do? What could any of us do? We were surrounded by Zenkian soldiers, and they had us at their mercy. I looked at Rangellis.
Rangellis smiled and said, “Good. Good work, human man. You blocked some good blows there.”
I could hear a few of the Zenkian soldiers laugh. This was ridiculous. I knew Rangellis was making a point of showing just how weak we humans were against them, but why? What was this leader up to?
The whistle blew, and the soldiers began another round as Brad and Evlon and I went inside.
Once inside, I helped Brad take off his space suit and I set him into an ice bath to stop any inflammation. He was kind of dazed and out of it because of the pain. I looked over at Evlon. I thought he would have another stupid grin on his face, but he did not. In fact, I saw his jaw flinch as I helped Brad. It seemed like he was pissed off at me. I think he was jealous of me touching Brad. He was so frustrating. I didn’t care what he thought. He had hurt my pilot on purpose.
“The pain…” Brad moaned.
I looked at Evlon. “Evlon, can we give him something for the pain?” I asked.
“Yes,” he answered. He moved to a cabinet and opened it. He pulled out a glowing yellow liquid.
“What is that?”
“It is a liquid drug called Taq. It will take his pain away,” he said.
He poured some into a cup and handed it to me.
“Does he drink it all?”
“Yes,” he nodded. “But only a small sip right now and then wait to give him the rest until he is on the table because it will make him weak and sluggish. He will not get out of the bath.”
“Okay,” I said putting the cup to Brad’s mouth. “Just a little sip. Here,” I said. He took a little sip then I set it aside.
“Evlon, go ahead and get undressed and wrap a cloth around you. I will get your cold-water bath going too,” I told Evlon. I did not want to make eye contact with him, and I was glad that Brad was there and we were not alone. I was afraid Evlon would see the reality in my eyes, that I still desired him. I was afraid that he would catch my heart quickly thumping out of control.
As I rotated the water spigot over the bath, I could feel Evlon standing near to me. His manly scent surrounded me, and I could definitely feel the heat of his body.
“Are you ready for me, Miranda?” he said. I swallowed. I knew what he meant.
“The cold water is ready for you,” I said. He handed me a cloth. It took me a second to realize it was the cloth he had wrapped around him. This meant that he was completely naked.
He touched his body against mine as he clambered into the tub. I watched his attractive bare form drop into the water. I felt my entire body react to seeing his firm abs and toned arms. I turned away to try to stop myself from flushing. I took a great lungful of air and walked toward the tables. But I could feel Evlon staring at me. I turned to him and locked eyes with his amber brown eyes. He grinned.
Then I helped Brad out of the tub and wrapped a cloth around him. I helped him onto an exam table and gave him all the liquid drug to drink. In a minute, his body was relaxed and limp. I looked over his calves.
“Nothing seems to be broken. You are lucky for that,” I said, giving Evlon a wicked look for causing this harm to Brad. He was looking at me with the same mean glare.
“But you will have severe bruising and some contusions. I can’t massage it because that will only deepen the wounds. I wish I had some Arnica,” I said.
“We have some,” Evlon said.
“What? You grow it hear on Anvin?” I asked.
“No,” he laughed. “It is one of the many things we steal from your planet,” he said.
“Where?” I said angrily at the spoils they take from Earth.
“In the cabinet where the Taq was. There is a jar of it. It has leaf drawn on it.”
I went to the cabinet and rummaged through the many glass vials. I wondered just how much of it was taken from Earth. I found it and held it up to Evlon. He nodded yes. I poured some onto Brad’s calves. It would help stop the bruising. Brad was practically passed out in a drunken stupor. I preferred that he were awake, but I guessed it was better for him to not feel the pain.
Then I heard a rush of water. I turned to see Evlon’s perfect naked body getting out of the tub. I gasped upon seeing it again. He was just so damn sexy, and his red skin was so exotic to me. He arrogantly walked naked to the table and laid down. “I am ready
for you, Miranda.”
I sighed in frustration. This was going to be torture. I draped a cloth over his cock and his wet body. It was a lot like the incident before in the sandstorm. The day I gave in and had sex, on this very table that he was lying on. I grabbed the oil.
“How is my star war games soldier?” Leader Rangellis seemed to appear out of nowhere and stood next to me.
I saw Evlon tense. I did as well. I felt mortified that the leader I was supposed to talk peace with was standing there about to watch me knead the groin area of Evlon. My heart was beating so damn fast.
“I am well. I do not think this injury is getting worse,” Evlon said.
