Alien Love Too! (8 page)

       “Wish that I had thought about filming it!” Melody exclaimed with a frown.

       “Well, I did think about it. I couldn't miss an opportunity to get David and his band playing in front of an audience!” Jonathan laughed.

       “We taped it too,” Mark added to everyone’s joy.  “Oh, Jon, remind me later on to talk to you about some hidden disks that I discovered just the other day,” Mark added after a few minutes.

       When Mark saw that he was about to ask him about them he quickly gave him a signal not to ask.

       After the great meal, good coffee and a water ride in the boats, through a tour of “
Mexico
” the men stated they all needed a siesta, so they started back toward the gates.  However, the women decided that they just
had
to shop some more in a couple of the cute gift shops they passed.  So the men hung around too, to look out for them.

       The women wanted to linger in the gift stores a little too long, the men kept thinking and mentioned so to each other about every five minutes.

CHAPTER 5  *  *

HIDDEN VIDEOS

While the ladies continued to shop the guys finally sat down on some of the benches outside the glass encircled shops.  Each was quiet for a while, watching people go strolling by.  Families with crying, tried children walked along as they struggled to make it back to the transportation area to leave or visit other worlds.

       “Mark what is this about hidden disks?” Jonathan finally asked when his curiosity could stand it no longer.

       “It'll make you mad,” Mark admitted.  Then suddenly breaking out in a bigger grin he said, “Jon, don't let my jealous, laughing face fool you, these disks will have you fuming.”

       “What the heck are you talking about!  What are these hidden disks?” Jonathan tried to think of what someone could have filmed that would make him as mad as Mark claims.  Then he knew.

       “Mark, please tell me that they didn't!”  Jonathan
was
fuming.  Mark's sly embarrassed look cast in David’s direction confirmed it.

       “I'm afraid that they did.  They filmed Mary and me as well, but only about four disks are of Mary and me.  They have volumes on you and Mel.  They seemed to like your style I guess!”  Mark said smiling but still with an embarrassed tilt to his lips.

       David's face showed that he understood.  Then Mark slapped David on the thigh and said red faced, “Dav . . . they were very interested in you as well but I didn't want to look knowing that you were with our Beth.  I did force myself to watch long enough to know that you're like your ole dad, Beth's a very lucky woman.  I've felt happy for her ever since.”

       “Dad?  Why would they do that?  How many people saw these disks do you think?” 

       Jonathan just shook his head in irritation of the news. 

       “That's invasion of our most private moments!”  David was livid.  The thought of their people watching his Beth like that made him want to hit someone, hard!

       “Jon, when we thought we were sneaking into the view screen rooms . . . they chronicled you from the time you entered the ship as a small boy and followed you through David's marriage.  From that time on they lost interest, it seems,”  Mark said.

       “I can see why they were so interested.  We were the spear heads of the Renewal, remember.  And, I can even understand them being curious about the first copulation between us and them.”  He nodded toward the gift shop where the women were.  “But . . . to carry it beyond Melody's conception is a disgrace,” Jonathan sadly admitted with suddenly tired eyes.

       “Jon . . . they used a few of the better moments as instructional material for the other men.  I saw the Instruction Tape for Correct Earth Female Sexual Stimulation,” Mark said.

       Jonathan turned his unbelieving eyes to Mark then seeing that Mark had a bit of pride about him he asked, “Mark, were you and Mary on any of those instructional disks?”

       “Yep.  Just a couple of times though.  But I must admit, I'm not all that shabby!  Mary's pretty satisfied with me and she's seen thousands of movies with explicit, detailed scenes in them.  She’s admitted that much to me, once.”

       “You Devil!” David said slapping Mark on the back.

       “I never thought that I'd ever say it, but I'm glad they're gone.  Just the two guard ships with the scientific team is all that's left and I'll be glad when they go!”  Jonathan surprised himself with this heated outburst.

       “Dad, Beth and I don't ever want to leave either,” David stated with firm conviction.

       “Well, neither do I.  I barely remember what it was like there anyway.  As far as I'm concerned, Mary and our children are my life now.  Mary could never adapt, I know she couldn't.”  Mark’s admission made the other two men nod they understood.

       Adding some levity to the conversation Mark stated, “She likes to sin too much!  They'd catch her in every fib and
not
let her get by with it, like I do.  She also hates to wear long robes.  To tell you the truth, I personally like looking at all these more than half naked women.”  Mark ended with a sexy grin as all three males ogled a couple of females in shorts and halter tops as the women walked by them giggling, swinging their hips and showing almost as much cleavage as a Las Vegas showgirl.

       “Guys, let me warn you.  Don't ever let them know that we are perfectly capable of having sex with any woman we please without having a Bond.  Melody would never give me a moments peace, she's jealous enough already,” Jonathan advised.

       “Dad, Beth already knows that.  That helps keep her in line,” David said.

       “Too late, Mary knows as well.  She got it out of me one night when she was being veeeerrry tricky.  She understands that we have an unbreakable love bond, but also that I can have sex with any woman that's willing to reciprocate.  Jon, I also think that it helps keep her in line, as David calls it.  She knows that I'm just as susceptible to feminine wiles as she is to virile, flirtatious men,” Mark stated with a pleased look.

       “Mark, I've been wondering lately just how unbreakable that bond is with these Earth women.  Ours is for life, but is theirs?  Really, we need to think about it.” Jonathan said.

       David had never thought about it, after all Beth was much more H'traeian than Earthian, but could that minute difference in their chemistry ever cause them any trouble?  David knew he was bonded for life, his was royal blood and they had the strongest bonds.  He had never even really thought about having sex with another woman, at least not since his marriage.  He did love to flirt and get women all hot and bothered, he realized, but that was just the male in him.  He loved knowing that he had that ability but, he'd always go to his Beth for his pleasures.

       Jonathan sat thinking then said, “I told Mel this morning that I would give her a baby.”

       Mark and David both slapped him on the back and were giving their congratulations, then Jon continued, “She turned me down.  Can you believe it?  That woman hasn't given me a moment's peace about it for almost two years.  Now when I say okay, she just says that she has something else to fill her void now.  Singing!”

       “Uh oh, Dad.  It's called pay back,” David shared with a worried look on his face.  “Is that all she said about it?  Because not even a week ago she and I had a little talk about her wanting a baby.  I advised her to give you a rest for at least a year, then you might quit worrying about her safety and reconsider it.  She agreed that she would do just that.  Dad, I'm sorry, I had no idea that you would change your mind so suddenly.”  Looking at his Dad's guilty face he asked, “Just what did make you change your mind?”

       “Jealousy, pure and simple.  I saw the looks those men were giving her last night.  There wasn't a man there who wouldn't have given her quadruplets if he had been able to, just for one romp with her.  When I told her what I would do, she informed me that she had been wanting a baby because that was all she felt that she was good for, giving me children.  Now she's happy giving herself in song . . . to those . . . men.  I think she knows they make me jealous,” Jonathan admitted with a sheepish look.  “I admit it.  I'm a
very
jealous man!”

       “We know.  We all are Dad.  It's different here.  The culture's different, no one respects the boundaries of another person's space, be it man or woman.  But, that's what makes it challenging and so much fun!  If we had sung those songs on H'trae they might would have applauded, but the heat and excitement of all those women wouldn't have been there.  It wouldn't have been anything like the thrill we all had last night, now would it?”  David smiled as he watched the grin return to his dad's face.

       “No Son . . . I mean David, it wouldn't.  I'm anxious to do it again!”

       Just then the women came out laughing and teasing one another while a pair of good looking men walked by and was admiring them openly.  This caused the three women to act like little girls, with them looking shy and batting their eye lashes while looking coyly back at the smiling men. 

       “Aren't they despicable?!  It's shameful that a man can't turn his back on his woman for one minute around here,” Jonathan exclaimed boldly.

       Melody heard and stuck her tongue out at him.  Then she ran and jumped on him wrapping her legs around his waist.

       “Now what was that I heard you saying?” Melody asked with her eyes bright with mischief.

       “They're going to arrest us if you don't get down!” Jon teased back.

       “Oh, is that so?  Now why would they want to do that?”

       “Because I'm going to attack you right here if you don't move in three seconds!” Jonathan said with a straight face, then she saw his eyes darken and quickly become blue-violet.

       “Alright, already, you win!” she said as she tried to lower her legs, but he kept her tightly against him as she slid down.

       “I can't go with you two, anywhere!” David said huffily as he whirled
Elizabeth
around and they headed for the trams.

       Jonathan had Mel jump on his back and he ran past them with Melody waving her hat as they passed them by laughing.

       Back at the hotel everyone collapsed on the couches in Jonathan’s suite, scattered bags all over the floor.

       “Whew!  My feet hurt.  I could sure use one of those Melon thingies now,” Melody said as she collapsed onto the bed, kicking and tugging her tennis shoes off with her toes.      

       Jonathan heard her but he was talking with Mark and David through the connecting door in the living room. 

       There came a scream from the bedroom.  As they ran in Melody yelled, “That's us!  T-That's us!” she was pointing to the television.

       They were on the
six o'clock
news.  Melody moved over as everyone came in and sat down on her bed.

       “Beth, you look great!” Mary exclaimed.  They were showing clips from the concert and Beth was at the side playing a keyboard, but Mark and Jonathan kept walking around in front of her and you had to look real good to get a glimpse of her.

       “Beth, you were great,” Melody added hugging her.

       “Look at the house!” Mark said as the camera panned the scene.  There looked to be people on the roof!

       “Jon, we will have to hire more security guards,” Mark said with dismay.

       “I really prefer to use our people Mark, how many do we have now on staff?” Jonathan inquired.

       “We have only ten now since most of them went back.”

       “Let's increase it to twenty-five, at least until the publicity about the house cools down.  We'll set up some of that ultra-fancy surveillance equipment that you've been wanting to use as well.”  Jonathan then looked around at his little family and added, “I want two, no three bodyguards for each one of us whenever we leave the house.  Is that understood?” 

       Everyone nodded. 

       Jonathan was Prince again and they all knew it.  They knew that he felt responsible for each of them.  That was what he did best, besides giving orders when they were needed.

       “Mark, those cameras that we were discussing earlier?” Jonathan looked questionably at Mark.  “They can be removed and used as extras to help out.  I'm certain they must be of the finest quality.”

       “They sure are, why you can see the eye of a fly with them, up close,” Mark answered before leaving the room laughing his head off.
