"That will do," he said as he flew into the open barn doors. It was empty. The farmhouse was dilapidated and abandoned. It was the perfect cover.
"Going off-line," he said as he turned off every single switch in the ship. It grew very dark with all the lights off.
"Now what?" I asked.
"We wait. We wait a couple of hours until that air traffic has cleared up. With everything in the ship off I won't be able to know when that happens. So, I will just check every few hours. It is better not to risk it."
"Okay, I understand. What are we going to do in the mean time?"
"Well with all the things that are happening in the world, I think there is only one thing that we can do," he said with a smile.
I unbuckled my seatbelt and walked over to him. I sat in his lap and he passed his mouth on top of mine. His hands went to my chest and his fingers pressed at my nipples. I was turned on instantly. It was the adrenaline and uncertainty of the world ending. It had my heart rate pumping and the sensation was making me very aroused. Not to mention the fact that there was a very sexy Corillion underneath me.
I pushed my hand into his trousers and rooted around his large cock. "It seems like you have already been ready for a while," I said him. He smiled and said, "Flying does that to me."
We both laughed at his remark. I pulled his cock out of his trousers and looked at it. Then I moved my hand up and down slowly at first, and then faster and faster until he was breathing harder and harder.
"I cannot take it anymore. I need to have you," he said standing up and picking me up off my feet. I wrapped my legs around him and he carried me to the console and sent me on top of it. He grabbed the waistband of my pants and pull them off of me. Then he quickly and voraciously entered me. We both groaned and moaned in delight. It felt good. It had been too long. The first time was not enough, and I did not get my fill of him. I wanted more and more every second. Now he was inside of me again and I felt relieved by it. I had become addicted to him and I was now getting my fix. He moved in and out of me, rocking his hips back-and-forth as he wrapped his arms around my back. I pressed my face against his hard, blue scales, the scales that forever reminded me that he was an alien. I could not hold on any longer and I felt the pulsing growing faster and more intense inside of me. "I'm going to release!" I shouted.
"Good, I want you to. Do it my love," he whispered as he continued to pump harder and slam against me. Then I released and I felt my entire body going numb as the sensation shot through me. I collapsed against his chest as he continued to move in and out of me. He put his hands underneath my bottom and cupped me, pulling me closer to him as he carried me. I put my arms around his neck and he kissed me. His tongue explored my mouth. Seconds later he tensed, his entire muscles on his back and arms tightening up and his breathing growing harder as he began to growl. Then he came inside of me. He groaned and twisted his hips. We were both enjoying what could be our very last orgasm on Earth and in life. It was an intense feeling to have.
Zian continued checking the radar over and over until it finally was clear, a couple of hours later. By this time night time Zian and I wondered how much of the cities of Earth had been destroyed.
"Cover of darkness is best. We should get going," he said as we took our seats in the ship and he prepared for lift off.
"We are still going to Lake Michigan, yes?" he asked me.
"Yes, that has not changed. I only hope that I am right about this."
After an hour of flying, the blue waters of Lake Michigan came into view. "There! Do you see that patch of land, that island?" I said to him.
"I see it. There is a lighthouse on the other side. That is where we always spoke of that we would run away to if we ever had to run. We promised to always meet each other there but to never tell anyone. We have only seen it in pictures and have never actually been," I said to him.
"That would be why it was not in your file nor in hers," he said.
"Exactly. But she knows to go there, and so do I. I only hope that she listened when I told her too. There is nothing left of her building in capital city. If she stayed, then she did not survive. In fact, I'm not sure that anyone in the city did,” I said.
"I'm going to land on that patch of grass over there. Then we will have to hide the ship. I would want to sink it into the lake, but we might need it. So, hiding it is a better choice," he said.
"That is a good point. We might need it."
We searched the island by flashlight, and finally, I came upon a familiar sight. It was a mailbox with the initials A.R. on it. I ran up to the door and knocked.
"Who's there? "My sister's voice said through the door, and I nearly broke down and cried in a pile on the porch.
"Adelaine it's me! It is Lily!"
"Lily! "She shouted as she fumbled to get the door open. Then she flew into my arms, and we cried together.
"I thought I would never see you again," she said.
"I thought I never would either. I am so glad that you are alive. I am so glad that you are OK."
"How did you find me?" she asked.
"I thought you might come here since we talked about it so much when we were little, and we would look at the photos in the book of this place. We always talked about coming here one day. "
"I am so glad you remembered. I am so scared. I don't know what's going on out there. Lily, it is like the end of the world."
"Yes, I know it is worse than you can imagine. The capital city is gone," I said to her.
"What?! "She said with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, there is a lot to talk about. But don't be scared. We are here now, and we are going to look after you, "I sent to her.
"We?" she asked. I turned behind me to Zian. She gasped.
"But Lily, he is one of them," she said with wide eyes.
"I know. But he is different. He helped me escape. He flew me here in his ship. He can be trusted," I said to her.
"If you say so, sister. I am just glad that you are here. Come, come inside before someone sees you," she said to both of us. We entered the small house and locked the doors behind us. We didn't know what to expect, and we were not prepared. But one thing was certain, I now had everyone that I loved in my life, my sister and Zian.
The battle that day was unlike anything I had ever seen. We lost almost every major city and millions of human and Corillion lives. It was a battle that wiped out resources for both humans and the Corillion. It left both sides crippled. It was a dumb battle in the end. It seemed like neither side won. There was no clear victor as each had fought equally and had defeated each other. It was almost like a tie. That did not do anyone any good. At least with a clear winner, there would be someone in charge. But instead, there was just complete chaos because no one had won. Now everything was in complete ruins, and we had to start from the ground up again. It was time to rebuild, and Zian and I had to keep our promise to be the ones to do it. We had survived for this.
"Do you want me to take him inside?” Adelaine asked me, as she held her hand out to my son, Earthane Crace.
"Yes please, this is going to take a while. Go with your aunt,” I said to him as I gave him a kiss. Earthane was born nine months after the battle, and he brought us great joy. It was terrifying to be pregnant in a postwar world, but our hybrid son was the future of the planet, and we were going to do whatever we could to make sure that it would be a good place for him.
“How far along are you on that project?” Zian asked, as I looked over the blueprints of a new registration system. It was the same bridal registration system that I had negotiated with him.
“I think I am half way there. Of course, once it is actually put into action I will know more about what needs to be done. Right now it is just a framework, but I think it will be a good one.”
“I know that it will be, because you are the one creating it,” he said.
We were sitting on the porch of the small house that we all shared: my son; my sister; and my husband, Zian
Crace. We were still on the island in the middle of Lake Michigan, one of the few areas spared by the battle, mostly because the Corillion did not know that it existed. We were fortunate to have local food sources consisting of fruit trees and fish. But the rest of planet, and especially the cities, were not so lucky. Most had relocated from the city and began the simple life of farming.
"Have I apologized today?” Zian said to me.
"Yes, a hundred times already. I have told you over and over again that you do not need to do this,” I sent to him.
"But I do. It is all my fault. All of this. I am the one that set the plan in motion. I am the only one to blame for all of this,” he said to me. He had been taking the blame, and taking it hard ever since the battle.
"I will tell you what I have told you before. I am glad that it was you. A war like the one we had with the Corillion was going to lead to that massive battle one day. It was going to be someone else if it wasn't you. But I'm glad it was you because you changed, you've allowed yourself to change. If it had been anyone else, it would have been much worse. We would've never had the data on the formula to the solution that contaminated the water, and so we wouldn't have been able to come up with a cure to the water contamination. You are the one that gave that to me. No other Corillion would have done so. It was you for a reason. Even though it is a heavy burden to carry now, you were chosen."
"You truly believe that?” he asked me.
"With all my heart, because I could not love you if it weren't true,” I said to him. And it was true. Ever since that day we had never separated. He was right all along. We would need each other after all that we had been through. Now, the Earth needed the both of us. We were rebuilding, and we were rebuilding in a world where the Corillion and the humans had to coexist on one planet.
"There is no other Corillion that I would want by my side other than you. You have given me our son and saved me. You have saved me more than once. If you had not abducted me when you did, I would have died days later in the capital city at the embassy, since it was the first building to be bombed. That's where I would've been. I wouldn't be alive except for you. I wouldn't be here to help rebuild and to create the system that we need to be able to coexist. My sister wouldn't be alive if you did not have the heart to allow me to call her that day to tell her to get out of the city. You did that for me, and you did not have to.”
"You always see the better side of things,” he said to me.
"And you always see the darker side of things."
"I guess that is why we are good together. We balance each other out,” Zian said as he pulled me onto his lap. I gave him a kiss.
"Well, that and many other reasons,” I said with a smile.
"That is very true,” he said as he kissed me again. I was in love with him. I loved him more than I could ever imagine and it blew my mind that the ruler of the alien race that I had hated had become everything in my life. It was now centered around him and my son. I never ever thought I would be a Corillion wife, but it had to happen. Our union created a jumping off point for Earth and the Corillions to begin peace talks. It was a very important union, and I was glad that so much good could come out of our love and marriage.
Over the past year, we had come up with many new plans, new plans that allowed both of our peoples to flourish. Only we would have been able to produce the results we had, because of who we were and our experience from both sides, Earth and the Corillion. It had taken us to create a new system, and it took all of our energy. But it was worth it; it was worth all our work so that our son could grow up in a place where he was accepted. Through our marriage came peace. Through our minds came a new system. And through our hearts came a new love. We were happy, even though we were living in a dystopian version of the Earth that I used to know. I was happy to have Zian at my side with my family. It was a new beginning. It was a new everything

LAIKE: Aliens Of Jenalk
(A Sci-Fi Alien Abduction Romance)
By Maia Starr
Chapter 1
Emily Hart (Director of Engineering)
I turned off the television set, agitated by the voices of the Vellreq. These monsters had invaded the Earth about three years ago, right when the automotive industry had reached an environmental crisis. The Vellreq had offered solutions, but I was an engineer; I knew that most of what they were proposing were half-baked ideas at best.
But real solutions weren’t what our governments was after. I had been working in my field for long enough to know that much. In fact, real solutions seemed to be a real turn off. What the government seemed to want these days were ideas that would leave humanity stalled and line their pockets. And there was no shortage of such ideas from the Vellreq.
Suddenly the apartment door slammed open and shut, and the rustle of bags filled the room.
“Em! Wanna hear a joke?”
“Not really,” I said, grinning despite myself.
My roommate, Therese, was always trying to make me laugh, but all of her jokes were about electrical engineering. We had met at a seminar, and she had found it all but impossible to believe that I had mastered three fields of engineering, none of them being electrical.
“Tough,” she said. “This is a good one! Three guys in Vegas get locked up in jail. The first one—”
“Therese…”
“Fine, fine,” she said, a goofy grin lighting her face. “But I swear, this is one you’d get.”
“Are you hungry?” I asked, changing the subject. I was a practical type of person, and to be honest, jokes seemed like a waste of my time. I was always trying to solve one problem or another, and jokes, not to mention other people in general, usually posed an unwelcome distraction.
“Starved,” Therese replied. “I’m going to put these groceries away.”
“All right,” I said. “I made spaghetti.”
“Yesss!”
Therese’s voice echoed excitedly from the kitchen, and again, I couldn’t help but grin. She was one of a kind.
When she returned from the kitchen, she had a plate heaped full of spaghetti and plopped down on the couch behind me.
“You know, there was a woman today working on Project Orion—you know I’ve been following them since the Vellreq arrived—and she saw a ship leave a planet they thought was mostly dormant. Weird, huh?”
I cringed. “Is it anything to be worried about?”
“No, it’s mostly just scientific curiosity at this point. But she got an award and stuff for it.”
“Cool,” I murmured. It was always nice to hear about other scientifically inclined women succeeding. “Speaking of scientific curiosity, how was work?”
Therese exhaled and threw her head back dramatically. Her red curls bounced off her shoulders, and she frowned at me. “Hard. I thought it would be cool that we’d have a new project to work on, but the designs aren’t…Earth designs. If you know what I mean. I’m worried they have me working on the next A bomb or something.”
This news chilled me, and confirmed my already rampant mistrust of the beings visiting our world. “You can refuse any project that makes you uncomfortable, you know.”
Therese sucked her breath in and looked down at the floor. “Not if I signed a contract…”
“Therese!”
“I thought it was union work! I’m basically stuck working for this shady company until this project is done! And then, if I blab to anybody about it, the government will be knocking on our door to cart me away.”
“But you just told me,” I reminded her.
“Shit,” Therese said. Thankfully she laughed. “I was just being dramatic about the bomb stuff. But I just don’t know what I’m doing, and it’s making me nervous. I don’t want my powers to be used for evil!”
I couldn’t blame her there. I had declined several promising job prospects because I didn’t trust where they had
come from. I was highly coveted in my field, but the job opportunities were limited to those with a lot of power and resources. And unfortunately, all too often that power had come as a result of shady dealings. You could never be too careful. I guess Therese had been blinded by her unfailing optimism.
“Well anyway, the benefits are top notch,” she said, as if trying to remember why she was working there in the first place. “I can afford all the junk food I want!”
I grinned and shook my head. “Glad to see you have your priorities straight.”
We spent the rest of the evening watching cheesy movies that both of us were surprised by my willingness to watch. Sometimes the world just seemed too bleak, and it was nice to get my mind off of it once in a while. Not everybody could be eternally optimistic like Therese.
Doom and gloom, now there was something I was good at. If only there was a man out there who wasn’t put off by my unfailing pessimism. It did no good to lie to yourself about the state of things. If you avoided the truth about the world, how would it ever get better?
“Very impressive, Ms. Hart.”
