still against his driving length. Lindsey wailed
as craving suffused her. Japohn growled in answer, the sound
reverberating down her spine and into her nether
regions.
The alien took her like an animal, a
primal beast bent on rutting, and she gloried under the desperate
attention. It was sex in its most base form, with no adornments, no
false pretentions. Only the urge to couple existed, an urge as old,
as brutal and unassuming as life itself. It was the ultimate act of
species survival, and it felt more right than anything Lindsey had
ever done.
She screamed back at the brute riding
her, losing herself in the torrential rhythm of his hips pounding
hers, driving his need hard into her eager warmth. Her womb flexed
with a long, muscular pulse, and bright light burst through her,
turning her cries into ragged, torn things. Japohn howled into her
neck to feel her clench around him, and his rhythm staggered. He
managed two more thrusts before his climax ripped from him, pouring
liquid ecstasy into Lindsey’s body.
Lindsey collapsed, her arms no longer
able to hold her up. Japohn released his grip on her neck, letting
her crumble face-first into the softness of the bed. Only her
buttocks remained aloft, held tightly in his grip as he emptied his
juices into her hearth.
Both shuddered as the last spasms
rippled through their bodies. Japohn pulled free of Lindsey, laying
her down fully before crashing onto the bed beside her.
The other two Kalquorians joined them,
laughingly applauding as they too lounged on the bed. Lindsey found
herself sandwiched between Japohn and Bacoj, with Vax curled
against Bacoj’s back. They snuggled with her like a litter of
companionable puppies.
Lindsey wondered how long it would take
them to repair their ship and continue on their way. She found
herself hoping it might be awhile. She wouldn’t mind hanging out
with this particular clan a little longer.
Chapter Three
Cuddling with the Kalquorians was a joy
as sweet as the lovemaking. Lindsey wished she could linger in the
warm companionship of being held; her hair, face and body stroked
by the men clustered around her. She’d never known such contentment
as this.
However, her parents were no doubt
anxiously waiting for her to emerge unscathed from the alien
shuttle. Lindsey reluctantly got her to her feet. She pulled her
clothes on with genuine regret, and the men did the same. She
couldn’t help but glow as they watched her, their tender gazes an
invisible caress. Even Japohn looked at her with seeming
affection.
She really wished she had more time to
spend with them.
Lindsey led the Kalquorians to her
family’s hideout, her percussion blaster at the ready for attack.
Japohn and Bacoj were armed with laser rifles, and all three men
had nasty-looking daggers with serrated edges slung on their belts.
Vax carried a large sealed food container in the crook of his
undamaged arm, his eyes scanning the ragged landscape of burnt
buildings and stripped vehicles. Lindsey was glad the aliens had
taken her warnings of hostile Earthers so seriously. The worst of
the gangs had migrated south to Miami, which had not been destroyed
like so many other cities. Still, the pockets of survivors left in
Fort Lauderdale were dangerous in their own right, attacking anyone
they thought might have food or medicine. Raids on each others’
camps were commonplace. Thus far, Lindsey’s family had escaped
notice. She hoped it continued that way.
They stuck close to the doubtful
shelter of buildings, venturing off the sidewalk and onto the
street when piles of rubble hindered their progress. As they drew
near the office building where Lindsey’s parents waited, she shot
Vax a smile. “It was kind of you to cook us a meal. We would have
accepted just the emergency rations with gratitude.”
His easy grin spoke his delight. She’d
learned Vax was a chef on his home planet, and he’d amazed Lindsey
with his skills in the shuttle’s tiny kitchen. “I happy
