Love From A Star: A BWWM Alien Romance Read online

  Antash calmed down for a second to look at her. “Just like you Jalicia, I can’t do everything. That was one of my weakest areas in school. I was never interested in electronics or technology. I acquired my best friend Jaquar because of it; he would often bail me out. He loves doing stuff like that; making inventions, fixing things that aren’t broken. He wanted to fix the communicator before I left, but I didn’t let him. I think he is so good at fixing things because he is mostly the reason they get broken in the first place,” he said as he laughed at old memories.

  Jalicia laughed too when she saw the twinkle in his eye as he remembered his friend. “He sounds like a nice guy,” she said.

  “I could really use his help now,” Antash said.

  “Don’t worry. We may not have all the sophisticated devices you are accustomed to, but I am sure Ned is obsessed with getting it fixed. It may be more of a challenge if he has to create parts that will operate similarly to yours.”

  “You are right,” he said. “I forgot you wouldn’t have the technology here,” he said as he sighed.

  “Hey,” Jalicia said as she moved forward and into his arms. He held her and rested his chin atop her head. “We’ll figure this out. You just have to have faith, and a little more patience.”

  “Jalicia!” she heard Ned calling from outside. “Are you in there?”

  She gasped as she looked down at her ragged clothes and panicked.

  “In here Ned,” Antash answered and Jalicia turned away so she could hide some of her embarrassment. He opened the door and Ned crawled inside.

  “What happened here?” he asked as he saw the look on Jalicia’s face, and Antash glowing green.

  “How’s the communicator? It is a good thing you didn’t show up earlier or you would have met the Brocoy,” he said as a way of turning the conversation.

  Ned took the bait. “The what?”

  “Old enemies of ours. I guess you have never heard of them because they don’t think earth is fit to take over. Too backward,” he said as he smiled half heartedly. “So?” he asked as he looked at the device in Ned’s hands.

  “I am sorry for taking so long, but there was just so much in here I wasn’t sure about. I mean, I didn’t know how anything worked. I am used to particular metals and wiring, so when I saw this I was blown. Dude, you have got to get me one of these,” he said and the freckles on his face seemed to light up as his face did.

  “That is for another discussion Ned. Now, what did you find out? Is it fixed?” Jalicia asked as she moved closer, forgetting temporarily her embarrassed state.

  He looked at her suspiciously and then continued. “As I was saying, I had to find some wiring that performed the same tasks as the ones here. So it took some time to understand how this worked and ...” he stopped when he saw the look on Antash’s face. ‘Right, so I am not sure if I did because I have no way of testing it.”

  He handed it to Antash who instantly pressed the button in the center. “Come in, is anyone there?” he asked and then released the button. There was crackling and static but nothing else came from the speaker. But that only served to give him more hope; at least it wasn’t dead. “What did you use to charge it?” he asked Ned.

  “These,” he grinned as he held up some regular AAA batteries he had in his pocket. “You didn’t need all of that technology after all.”

  “Hello, is anyone there?” Antash called again, and again there was more static and crackling. “It is no use. There might be something wrong with the signal. Maybe something is interfering with it.

  “Try again,” said Jalicia. “Maybe it functions like the signals here on earth; sometimes it is there, and another time it isn’t. You just have to keep trying until it falls within a particular spot where the signal is strongest.”

  Ned was busy shaking his head and agreeing. “Maybe you need to go outside. Might be stronger there.”

  Antash took their advice and all three forced their way from the glider and outside. As soon as they did, the crackling was heard again.

  “Hold it up,” Jalicia said, “and move it around like this,” she said as she demonstrated.

  “Had I not landed on earth I could have had this problem rectified already,” he muttered.

  “Antash, is that you?” he heard a voice say.

  “Yes,” he replied excitedly. “I’ve crash landed on earth. I just got my communicator working again,” he said.

  “Hold on,” the voice on the other end said. “Mekhi will want to hear this.”

  Jalicia walked over to him with a self righteous look on her face. “What was that you were saying about crash landing elsewhere?”

  “I take it back,” he grinned.

  “Good, because had you landed elsewhere, you might be dead by now,” she said as she turned and walked away.

  And there was nothing he could do but inwardly agree.

  Chapter 6

  “Mekhi, it’s Antash,” Jaquar said as he hastened to the tarmac.

  “Give that to me,” he said as he snatched the device from Jaquar. “Antash, where are you?” he barked.

  “On Earth,” Antash’s voice confirmed over the speaker.

  “What in the name of the Gods are you doing there? Did you run away?” he asked.

  “No Sir,” Antash answered quickly. “I was on patrol and I ran across some Brocoy mercenaries just outside of Varen. I thought I’d return and inform you, but I wanted to know what they were up to. I got closer, but something happening with my cloaking and I was spotted. They gave chase and I managed to evade them, but by then I was drifting in space and running out of fuel. I made an emergency landing here. My communicator was broken, but I got some help fixing it. But you must be ready Sir-they mean to attack Solaris.”

  “So it is true,” Mekhi said. “We had our suspicions that you are too good of a warrior to be captured, and there was no sign of you anywhere either. And I know how much you fancy Earth. Give us your location and I will send someone for you, but don’t venture far; the humans cannot be trusted.”

  “Some can be,” Antash said as he looked over at Jalicia and Ned. “I will keep the signal on so you can find me, but hurry. Some of the Brocoy have been here looking for me. The longer I keep the signal on, the easier it will be for them here.”

  “Don’t worry, help will be there by morning,” Mekhi said, and then the communication was cut.

  “What happened?” Ned asked. “Is it broken again?”

  “No, he disabled the signal for the time being,” Antash explained. “It is safer that way.”

  “Do you think they will come for you?” Jalicia asked.

  “I do hope so,” Antash said with a smirk. “Otherwise I’d be stuck here with you.”

  “That isn’t the worst thing in the world, is it?” she asked.

  “I knew something was going on,” Ned said as he grinned. “You are having an affair with an alien.”

  “I prefer the word humanoid,” Antash said as he blushed.

  “Mind your own business Ned,” Jalicia said as her cheeks colored.

  “A’ight,” Ned said as he chuckled.

  “Antash, Antash,” Jaquar’s voice came over the speaker.

  “Jaquar?” he asked.

  “You should have let me come with you,” he said. “You snuck away to Earth without me.”

  Antash laughed. “I didn’t sneak away; I was almost killed. But you are right; I should have let you come.” Then there was a long pause. “How’s Santina?”

  “She keeps asking about her big brother,” he told him.

  “Tell her I’m fine will you? I don’t want her to worry.”

  “I got you,” Jaquar said.

  “Okay, now turn off the signal before I am spotted. I will be home by tomorrow,” he told him and then cut off the call.

  “See?” Jalicia said with a beam. “All that worrying for nothing.”

  “So what now?” Ned asked as all three stood in the clearing.

  “I’d like to retu
rn to the house,” Jalicia said. “I have dinner to prepare. You coming?”

  “Yes,” they both responded and then laughed.

  “I mean, I’ll wait in the barn. I’ve spent enough time here in this ship,” Antash said.

  “Take that with you,” Ned advised as he pointed at the communicator. “If one month ago I didn’t know aliens exist and now I’m helping one, anything can happen in this universe.”

  Antash and Jalicia laughed. “I agree,” she said. “Don’t go anywhere without it.”

  Antash swept it from the ground and tucked it inside the overall. “You might want to look a little more human as we head back.”

  And as they walked, he changed color and became the tall, dark man they had met before.

  “Sir, shouldn’t we arm ourselves and prepare for an onslaught before we go searching for Antash?” one of the humanoid commanders asked. “As far as I see, he is safest of us all.”

  “Have you no respect?” Mekhi asked as soon as the words left the man’s mouth. “Antash risked his life trying to get back here to warn us. He could have been dead. Not only that, but he is one of our best fighters. I am sure if you remember, he was instrumental in our defeat of the Brocoy when he was just a young one.”

  “I remember Sir, but if it were me...”

  “It isn’t you, and I know he would want to be here. His sister is here. How do you think he would feel if anything happened to her and he wasn’t here to protect her?”

  “Understood Sir,” the commander responded as he hung his head.

  “It would serve you better to get two gliders ready and prepare to head to Earth for a rescue. He needs to be back here by morning. Tell the others to make everything ready and be prepared for an attack,” Mekhi said and turned his back on the commander.

  “Do you think he may have been right?” Bolivar asked when they were alone.

  “Right about what?” Mekhi asked.

  “Leaving Antash on Earth for the time being. Maybe it would be better if we sent his sister there for safety.”

  “And is she worth more than any other here on Solaris? I am trying to protect everyone, not just Santina. Antash wants to be here, and so he shall. I only hope nothing happens tonight.”

  “You and me both,” Bolivar said as he walked out of the room.

  Mekhi stood with his hands clasped behind his back, staring out into space. The night was young, and anything was possible. The last time the Brocoy came to Solaris it was in the dead of night, and a lot of lives were lost because of it and not being prepared. This time they would not make the same mistake, and whether Antash had returned to Solaris with the message or not, his disappearance had been warning enough. They would not take it lightly, but Mekhi was not sure how ready they were to die again.

  *****

  “What are you thinking about?” Antash asked as he noticed how pensive Jalicia had gotten in the last ten minutes.

  “Nothing,” she said as she curled her hand in his.

  “Nothing seemed rather intense,” he said and kissed the top of her head.

  “I haven’t slept out here since I was a child. I had always wanted to go camping, but my mother was insecure about packing me off with strangers to go into some mountains she didn’t know about, so every year we struck a compromise; we would pretend and camp out in the barn,”

  “Well, that’s a nice idea,” he said.

  “Yeah, but my dad didn’t like it. He didn’t do it with us and it always irritated him that mom wouldn’t go into the kitchen. She kept telling him she wasn’t there and he had to do it for himself,” she laughed. “He got so mad one of the times he came down here and took away our camping stuff.”

  Antash stroked her hair as she grew silent. “You miss her, don’t you?” he asked.

  “I do,” she told him. “She was so much to me, and after she died I took some time finding myself again. It is funny that I left home four years earlier to go to medical school, and it didn’t seem weird at all not seeing them all the time. I guess I needed to find my wings. You just don’t realize until it is too late how different it is when you know the choice of seeing her or not is taken from you.”

  “I’m sorry,” he told her. “She sounds like she was a great person. She must have been like you, and that cannot be a bad thing.”

  Jalicia looked up at him and smiled. “She was, thanks.”

  “I didn’t know my mother much. She was never there and my father was non-existent, so I was the father figure to Santina. That’s why I worry about her so much.”

  “And here I thought that was a behavior only specific to humans,” Jalicia said. “I love my dad, and he needs me, but he acts as if he doesn’t. He keeps forcing me to go back to Washington and be a doctor, but I am afraid of returning and then something happens to him and I am not here. Who will run the farm?”

  “Can I be honest with you?” he asked. She nodded and stared into his pitch black eyes. “I think you will make something happen to him by being here.”

  Jalicia sat upright now. “What do you mean?”

  “He wanted you to be a doctor right?” She agreed by nodding. “From the perspective of your father, it is his desire to see his daughter grow up to be someone better than what he was able to do for himself. Now this is a nice farm, but he doesn’t want you being a farmer Jalicia. He wants more for you, and the longer you postpone that, the sooner you will speed up his death; he will be disappointed and heartbroken. You can’t prevent anything from happening to him here or there. If you are here and he falls sick, then what would you do? What could you do? You could be here for ten more years and he would still be fine, but that would be ten years you would be denying yourself. I think you should go back. You only have one more year. Do it for him,” he advised.

  Jalicia rested against Antash’s chest once more. “I guess I never looked at it like that before,” she admitted. “I just want to be there for him.”

  “And you can do that from anywhere. Go and explore and then come back if need be, but don’t waste your years protecting your father. He isn’t a child; he doesn’t need it.”

  “Is that what you will tell Santina?” she asked as she looked up at him.

  “That’s all I have been telling her ever since she was a baby. I would love to see her explore the galaxies and decide for herself what she wants and then pursue it. I don’t want to hold her back, and I bet that is how your father feels too.”

  “I listen to the words coming from your lips and I wonder how you manage to be so smart,” she said. “My dad would like you just for saying that.”

  “Well I have a century under my belt, with another two or so to go,” he grinned. “You get to learn a thing or two then.”

  “Teach me more,” she said as her eyes became dreamy, and her lips started to throb with aching. His vast knowledge and wisdom turned her on, and she only had one lesson on her mind she wanted to learn.

  “And what shall be your classroom?” he asked as he started nibbling her ear.

  “Hay and four legged classmates,” she said and giggled.

  Antash chuckled as well. “That will do,” he said as his hands started exploring her body. One found her small neatly cupped breast and squeezed into it as she closed her eyes and moaned, while the other measured her upper body, running from shoulder to hip repeatedly. Jalicia brought her head to rest on his shoulder and his now icy lips nibbled her soft skin. She shivered as she anticipated all he was going to do next and as she rested there, she felt him grow hard in a place where nothing existed before.

  He shifted so that she now sat between his legs, and with hers spread and her cotton skirt giving him much needed access, he kissed her neck while his forefinger found the cotton underwear she wore and parted it. Her skin was soft, and he stroked her there until he could almost feel the heat rising from her and drifting towards him. He then prompted her to move, while he still sat, and led her before him. When she stood there he made her spread her l
egs, and then in one swift movement, her knees were touching the hay on either side of his head, and her glorious haven dead ahead. Antash pulled her forward and tasted her, never having got enough the last time, and Jalicia pressed into the top of his head as she tried to maintain her balance.

  But he was as skillful as he was strong, and he held her firmly as his tongue washed her tender spots, giving her a burning sensation inside as her juices began to flow and fall onto his waiting tongue. Then he started moving her back and forth, all the while blowing air onto her clitoris, and then his tongue darted inside, and she cried out as pleasure replaced the fright she was feeling before, and it no longer mattered that she was hovering and trusting him to keep her in place. Antash had started moaning, and the more sounds he emitted, the faster his tongue went until it threatened to drive Jalicia mad. She dug her fingers into his low cropped hair, barely getting a hold, as he continued his murderous trail, leaving her helpless to his domination.

  Then he slowly lifted her and set her on her trembling feet as he deftly slipped from the overalls. She watched as his member grew before her eyes, and she fell to her knees with delight as it reached a welcomed length. As if hypnotized she held it and began stroking, slowly at first, and when she saw his eyes peeling back, she started going faster and in a circular motion. It seemed to grow even further and soon Jalicia lowered her head and ran her tongue along the length of it. The soft scales felt like silk now that he was wet, and when she got to his peak, she brought her mouth down over it, covering more than half inside her. He emitted a sound unfamiliar to humans, and she smiled inwardly as she began playing with it as she moved her head up and down.

  Suddenly he sprang from the ground and hoisted her in the air. She locked her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist as their lips collided, shattering everything impossible, and they embraced each other as both something new and something desired. Then without her realizing it, he slipped inside her, and soon he was stroking her, slowly and gently, half way in, until she started trembling once more. Her walls started closing in on him and soon her slippery slope snared him, and he grew wild with desire. He started surging forward, harder and faster, and she could not help screaming. He was quick to quiet her with his lips as he continued pumping into her.
