Alien Perfection

by Megan Edwards

  Movement… No decision to make now. The reptilian must have surmised that they knew Naelia was no longer sleep. Shit! Naelia thought to herself. All she was hoping for was just a little time more to heal before she was forced to endure more. Now she would either be expected to do back breaking labor or to copulate with him again… She rolled over onto her side to prepare herself, when she realized she wasn’t tied up. This could be her lucky break. Maybe she should try to escape, with any luck she would break free or he would kill her for trying.

  Naelia counted to three in her head. Then opened her eyes, and got ready to run. With her fight or flight instincts humming in her ears and adrenaline pumping in her veins, Naelia never expected to find herself frozen in place. Standing directly in front of her was the man of her dreams, literally not figuratively. The man that kept her alive these past months. The only man she ever wanted to be with. Her lifemate… Archon.

  Naelia dreamed of his face and his body for more years than she could remember. Yet another thing that made her different from other Venusians. ESP. She’d always believed he was real. Yet, she was beyond shocked to see him standing in front of her in person. It was the sight of him that froze her in place keeping Naelia unable to move a muscle. She couldn’t even twitch.

  He was exactly as she dreamed he would be. Well almost. He was an Earthling not a Venusian. Still he was perfect in looks and form. His body and face appeared to be in his mid to late thirties but was probably far older than that. She could tell by the almost unnoticeable wrinkles around his eyes. His skin tone was much darker than Naelia’s and reminded her of the color of the tree trunks. His eyes too were dark brown, and his head like the rest of his body was hairless. He had many visible robotic upgrades but his shoulders were still au natural and rippled with every movement of his body. His best feature however was the big broad smile on his face.

  As far as Earthlings go… to Naelia none were better looking than Archon. He was magnificent in form and appearance. Suddenly the idea of copulating was very attractive. She knew her face mirrored the smile that began in his eyes and moved down his face until he shone with pure pleasure from the inside out. Naelia was afraid it was just another dream as she reached out and allowed her fingers to touch his sun kissed skin. Somehow she knew despite her inability to speak Earthling words, she and Archon would not have an issue with communication.

  In that moment, she believed he understood exactly how Naelia felt and knew just what she was thinking. She was wrong, but that was only the tip of the iceberg of what she was wrong about. As hard as it is to believe, Naelia didn’t have any understanding of the world outside of her lava tubes. She’d been so naive and content with her life in the lava tubes she never considered what would happen to her if she got caught topside. She had no skills and no understanding of the real world.

  Chapter 6

  Archon knew the moment his lifemate regained consciousness and breathed a sigh of relief. He’d been so concerned that it took so long. They’d been sailing the open seas for more than two days and she slept through everything. They would disembark in New York City and embark on a new ship in Philadelphia sometime in the wee hours of the morning. Philadelphia was a risk but it was still their best option.

  Philadelphia, while technically under UFE control has a high concentration of Anunnaki and Anunnaki can’t be trusted. Technically they are one of the three races that make up the UFE. Earthlings, Sirians, and Anunnaki. In our faces, the Anunnaki claim to support us, but in reality the Anunnaki care only about are themselves. Oh, like the other UFE allies they were forced to come to earth when their planet was destroyed but like the Venusians and Halflings they sell their wares and lives to the highest bidder.

  In many cases the Venusians and Anunnaki are unknowingly doing the dirty work for the Galactic Alliance instead of fighting against them. That means they might help Archon as easily as not. Archon was counting on the port in Philadelphia being very busy since it’s a military area. They would leave this vessel around eleven in the evening and take a car from New York to Philadelphia. From there, they would sail to Greenland in exactly five days. That’s were the two of them would meet up with the rest of us.

  The trip would be a cakewalk since the Sirians own the ocean. Hell, the Galactic Alliance races never go anywhere near the water. They prefer to use their hover crafts and airships to get around. Travel across continents is tough for them since hovercrafts don’t go over water and the fuel for their airships gets harder to find every year the war continues.

  Archon had been thinking about just those things when he felt more than saw that his lifemate was getting ready to open her eyes and make a run for it. Not wanting her to become panicked he slowly moved closer to the bed and allowed the feeling of warmth and harmony to push out of him and wrap around his lifemate. As I mentioned before, Archon has some unique skills including a couple of magical abilities and ESP. As part of his natural born ESP, Archon developed several skills or tricks as some would say.

  I already told you about his visions and OBE abilities. There are only three are also forms of ESP and magic combined. Which are magic and which are ESP are mysteries even to me.

  Anyhow, the first of the three remaining skills is his photographic illusions. This skill allows him to temporarily trick and fool weaker minds into believing they are seeing, hearing, smelling or feeling something that isn’t real. This has come in handy on more than one occasions during a mission. I’m sure I don’t have to point out its usefulness for you to get some general ideas.

  The next is his brainmuting ESP. Sometimes, with a lot of effort he can change and control the thoughts, mindsets and upper brain functions others. Not other strong willed races like Andromedains, Earthlings even Reptilians but certainly the weaker minded races like the greens, greys and Venusians.

  Then there is his mindtwisting ESP. This one lets him alter and twist recent memories. Nothing too big but he could for example make someone believe they’d spoken to a greyling instead of an Earthling. He knew his lifemate suffered terribly at the hands of the Reptilians and wished he could use his mindtwisting ESP to change her recent memories. As a Venusian she we be more then susceptible but sadly however there were too many and it went on for far longer than his ESP was capable of changing.

  On top of all of things I’ve told you so far, Archon apparently also had a few skills or magic tricks that the rest of us never knew about. One of them was his ability to influence emotions. He called it emofluence. According to him, he could hold a crowd of more than a hundred people calm even under major duress if the people already wanted to be calm and confident.

  That day, Naelia wanted desperately to remain calm and to feel safe so it was easy to help her continue. It took no more than a tiny little push. As soon as Archon sent a little wave of warmth towards her, he could see her visibly relax. Then he heard her sigh of relief. If that however had not been enough he could have used far more of his emofluence to force her into a better emotional state.

  There had been no need, since she opened her eyes and moved through several different emotions. Each emotion surprised him a bit more than the one before it. First she allowed herself to enjoy his appearance. She found him very pleasing to her eyes. Then she moved on to his face and was memorized by his smile and the look of joy on his face. Finally, she reached out and gently touched him with her finger tips and sent millions of small butterflies loose in his bloodstream. That nearly threw Archon into a panic as his heart beat double time and pure pleasure rocketed its way through his body.

  Archon would have loved to touch her so much more, but he wasn’t a ready. He knew she was Venusian and probably more than ready to copulate but as an Earthling, he wanted time allow her to grow comfortable with him and his touch. He’d never considered that his lifemate would be anything but an Earthling like him.

  Honestly, though he was happy to find her, even if he hadn’t been prepared for her to be Venusian. Venusians were still alien, and aliens, eve
n the sexy ones had always been taboo to him. It didn’t matter that Venusian females and males lingered around the UFE barracks in hopes of finding a benefactor. Most of our unit kept Venusian concubines. Archon had never even dabbled with them.

  The moment he saw her however, he knew he would do anything to keep her. The last thing that mattered to him was that she was Venusian. While she was asleep, Archon couldn’t stop from poking around in her mind to find out what her life was like. He knew the most recent moths had been bad from the dreams they shared, but the last few weeks were far worse than he imagined. So bad in fact, that he thought even though she was a Venusian she might still not welcome any man’s touch.

  Her childhood however seemed almost enchanted. Underground, so far away from the war she lived an easy care free life. He knew before she ever woke however that she was language challenged. He found memories of her daydreaming of find him when she should have been learning languages. Too bad, he would have to be creative when it came to communicating with her until she learned. He wasn’t overly worried about it since he could get one of the Venusian concubines to help once they got to Greenland.

  Until again, he decided to create a game that would hopefully help her learn earthlish so that she could communicate more effectively in the human tongue. Archon tapped his chest, then calmly said

  “Archon” then touched his chest again. Then he tapped the bed, and said,

  “Bed”

  It took only a few times before she grasped the concept of the game. Naelia seemed to have fun learning words and she was very good at the game. Before long she was sending moving about the room touching things and waiting for Archon to say the word out loud. The moment he said the word she repeated it then chose another item. After a while Archon could tell that she was looking around the rooms for something new to touch.

  Once she did every item in the room, it all started again. Archon named them aloud to her one after the other and she repeated. With each item, and word that Naelia said aloud Archon felt her become happier and more relaxed. Archon too was happy, in fact he couldn’t remember a happier time in his life.

  Naelia’s stomach growled and Archon knew it was time to bring her lunch. While she’d been sleeping he’d managed to secure some basic supplies. Regatta being the top priority since he knew it was essential for Venusians. He also grabbed a bunch of other vegetables and fruits since he knew she would be ravenous. However when the food arrived, instead of shoving the food in her mouth as Archon expected, Naelia surprised him.

  She calmly pointed out every piece of food and waited for him to tell her their names. Only after he gave her the word for each item did she begin to eat. They ate lunch quickly and Naelia started the game all over again. It was clear to Archon that Naelia was desperate to learn his language. Every time he said a word she tried to say the word back to him. Her voice was deep and serious, and Archon could tell her vocal cords had never been used to speak anything but Aquarian the Venusians native language. That however didn’t stop Naelia from trying.

  About an hour after lunch, Archon noticed that Naelia was twitching and moving around the bed in a strange way. He started to wonder if she had to use the facilities. Not knowing for sure he dropped the game and instead opened the door and pointed at the privy. Naelia rushed inside and closed the door. He turned away when he heard the door open again. When he looked over at Naelia she patted her chest, gave him a huge smile and said,

  “Naelia”

  Chapter 7~*~ March 11, 3208 Earth

  They arrived in Philadelphia just after two in the morning local time. It took him almost an hour to convince Naelia to allow him to dress her in the clothes that he bought on the ship. Archon was exhausted and Naelia had fear pouring off her in waves as they stepped off the vessel. Philadelphia was alive and vibrant even during night time.

  Philadelphia is the largest city under UFE occupation on the east coast of North America. To Archon it seemed like one most beautiful. Archon spent several years in Philadelphia as a child before the war. Now the city is referred to as the old country. The city of Philadelphia is one of the few places left that still has some old world Earthling buildings. The more modern areas of the city are not as attractive to Archon but suit the mixed race populations that cluster together and hide the skyline.

  Archon kept his hand in the crook of Naelia’s back as he guided her safely to the car he’d secured nearby. Archon opened the door to the car and helped her to climb in. Then he fastened her seatbelt before climbing into the driver seat. He wished he could have explained what they were doing, but even with the progress she’d made learning earthlish, they were a far cry away from real communication. The best he could do for a little added security, was wrap his emofluence around her like a soft silky tendrils.

  With the car in park, Archon rolled down the window and let in the wonderful aroma of Philadelphia cuisine. The smell filled his senses and Naelia’s. Archon heard her stomach rumble just seconds before she used her hand like a fork to tell him she was hungry. He smiled at her and said soon…He knew she didn’t completely understand but something in the way she looked at Archon let he know that she had complete faith in him, despite the small amount of time they’d been together so far. Archon was pleased that Naelia was comfortable with him but he wanted to make sure that he continued to do everything he could possibly do continue to earn her trust and her love.

  Naelia's stomach growled again and Archon decided that he should would make a pit stop and a nearby restaurant. He parked the car and rushed around to help her out. Like before, he placed his hand in the small of her back and slowly guided her towards the door. The moment the door opened Naelia moaned in excitement. The sound vibrated through his chest causing him to instantly want so much more than a dinner.

  It was so hard being in her company and not touching her that way. He knew it just wasn’t time. Not for him though as a sex crazy Venusian she was probably more than ready. Despite that, he did his best to push the thoughts away and instead concentrate on getting into the restaurant. Just as his hand touched her arm, however Naelia froze. She stopped and all her muscles stiffened. His touch caused her to shiver in fear. Archon immediately sent out a wave of calmness and reassurance, but it had no effect on her. Instead her fear and agitation grew and Archon didn’t know what was freaking her out, he was at a total loss. Archon knew she would not understand him, but it didn’t stop him from saying aloud

  “Naelia, what is it love? Why are you afraid?”

  Then he said the same thing in reptilian and every other language he knew. He prayed to Ewmjir that something he said got through to her. She was terrified. Then she pointed to her womanly part then his and slapped her hands together roughly several times. Something in the way she held her hands seemed almost vulgar. It was enough for him to get the idea. Rape. She’d been raped.

  I can still hear him telling me how angry he’d become. He furious at the reptilian that hurt but he was mortified and fuming at himself even more. Before that moment, he’d never stopped to consider that a Venusian would decline sex. He was such an idiot. Up until that moment in time he actually thought all Venusians wanted sex all the time with everyone and anyone. That they were just a wanton race.

  He’d just assumed that Naelia would be faithless woman. She was Venusian and it was just part of who she was. He wouldn’t fault her for it. He was going to find a way to love her despite it. It was her fault she was born little more than sex toy. Something he and everyone could use for pleasure. He was such an idiot. We all were.

  That day he learned two things. First, Venusians are not sex toys, they like every other being on earth have a right to choose who they are with and a right to say no. And two, the apparently have had some kind of sixth sense about sexual desires. His desire petrified Naelia and sent her into a full blown panic. Not much he could do about that after the fact. But he knew from that day forward, he would just have to do his best to tamper down his desires until she was more capabl
e of handling it.

  That day however, he used his powers to send her warmth and comfort to her the gently wrapped her in his arms while he smiled brightly at her. Then he said out loud

  “I will never hurt you Naelia, and I will never let anyone hurt you again!”

  Archon walked her into the restaurant and ordered two large glasses of water. Water was still one earth’s most precious assets. Then he glanced over the menu and ordered a rare steak for him, and one of every kind of vegetable plus regatta for her. Archon had no idea what kind of topside vegetables she would like. Chances are she’d had little exposure to Earthling food and vegetables. In short time she spent with the Reptilians they probably only fed her grass and grains.

  There was so many other types of fresh vegetables available many of which she would probably like. Archon he decided to make it his mission to expose her to as many foods as possible. One day, he and Naelia would know what she wanted and liked. In total Archon ordered enough food for five people. In a place like this that was extravagant even for an elite warrior like himself.

  The waiter looked pointedly at him before dropping his eyes without making comment. The he rushed to bring them the water. Naelia stuck her tongue in the glass then basically swallowed the entire glass of water in one gulp. Archon looked over at the empty glass and said quietly out loud

  “Easy love, you do not want your stomach ache to ruin the food you?”

  She tilted her head to one side as she considered his words. It was so cute and sweet. Archon knew that she didn’t know what he meant even though he tried to tell her. So he laughed then enacted himself emptying the contents of his stomach. That did the trick. She scrunched up her nose and looked at him pertly. Then she shocked him by sticking out her tongue and make a raspberry sound. Archon put his hands in the air as if to surrender and said

  “Okay, love you win. Eat, drink be merry. You’ll get no more argument from me.” To his surprise Naelia giggled then said
