Intentional Abduction (3 page)

It proved a good thing the fight was pretty much done as she gawked after him like a foolish girl dazed by her first glimpse of battle. Unable to tear her gaze away, she tracked him as he raced away from her and up the docking tunnel leading to his ship.

The future father of her babe safe, Aylia disappeared into the chaos and shadows, seeking her own small vessel. It wouldn’t do to lose him now. Besides, their departure from this stinking cesspit of a city suited her just fine. Out in space, she could chase her quarry down without fear of interference, and even better, keep him to herself for as long as it took to accomplish the deed.

Jaro left his cousins behind to finish up the battle.

Why not? After all, they’d caused it. Knowing the lucky pair, they’d find a way to come out profitably ahead of this fiasco.

Jaro, on the other hand, would need to lay low while the repercussions of the mini war conducted in the spaceport died down. A shame really. He’d spotted one interesting-looking female while he broke off his unintentional engagement to the alien Lxroakian princess. Despite a cloak, which hid her form and face from view, he’d caught flashes of her toned legs as she used them to lash out, causing damage. And her eyes… His brief glimpse of them almost made him forget the danger around him as an urge to reveal her features overcame him. He wondered why she aided him, but given the number of assailants thrown at him, didn’t worry about it long. Although, if she hoped to earn a favor from him, she’d find herself sorely disappointed.

Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais As the battle wound down, self-preservation kicked in and he fled while the chaos ebbed and before a new wave arrived. He didn’t waste time once aboard, barking out orders to his computer. “Seal the portals and disengage from the docking station.”

“Launch sequence started,” replied a sensual female voice. “Destination?”

“Anywhere I have no frukxing enemies or bounties on my head,” he grumbled as he flopped into his command chair.

“Scanning.”

Jaro drummed his fingers as he waited for the computer’s reply. The jolt of takeoff happened along with acceleration before his AI unit returned with an answer.

“Negative.”

He frowned. “Negative what?”

“There are currently no known parts of the galaxy where there are no bounties in effect.”

“Figures,” he muttered. As scourge of the galaxy, a name acquired due to the delicate missions he’d embarked upon for various governments and individuals, he’d gained quite the reputation which proved both beneficial and detrimental. On the one hand, his high priced services were always in demand; on the other, no one wanted him in their sector for fear he’d come looking for them.

“Destination?” His computer prompted him, and for the first time, probably ever, Jaro felt chagrin that he didn’t have a place he could call his own, a refuge to escape the galaxy and its bloody games.

Much as it pained him, Jaro needed to lay low for a bit. Truth told, he could use a respite from the constant fighting and defending of his life. Unfortunately, there was only once place he knew where he might accomplish it.

His lips curled in distaste as he gave the order.

“Computer, take me to my brother.” He relayed the coordinates out loud since he’d never bothered to store them into his ship’s memory. They’d only recently reunited after all.

Despite their mutual dislike of each other, he knew Tren wouldn’t turn him away. He’d taunt Jaro mercilessly, he and that human barbarian he’d taken for a mate, but at least, within his brother’s home, he could regroup and decide where he wanted to go next—and what to he wanted to do.

Funny, a few planetary cycles ago, he’d scoffed at his brother for retiring as an assassin because he’d grown weary of the constant drama. Now, Jaro found himself envious. In the arms of a weak, pale-skinned human, his brother found contentment and even stranger, joy. Jaro didn’t quite understand it, or how it worked, but he couldn’t deny the few times he’d seen his older sibling, he’d appeared…happy.

What a novel concept for blood thirsty warriors like 27

Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais themselves who lived for the thrill of adventure, the scent of blood and the taste of death. Yet, Tren gave it up, without a qualm or regret, for Megan. Could he find that kind happiness as well?

Not that Jaro would give any female a chance to noose him. He knew firsthand how duplicitous they were.

Females only ever wanted something from males, be it money, fame, or vengeance against their foes, and once they got it, they showed their true colors before moving onto their next conquest. It was why Jaro never allowed females to get that close to him, not anymore, not since Shinja, that two-timing whore.

In his life, females served only one purpose—

pleasuring him. He’d bed them, once, maybe even twice, but then, he moved on. It wasn’t as if he needed to content himself with the attention of one female, not when he had dozens in every port looking to climb atop his rod.

No, unlike his brother, Jaro would never settle down with a female and pop out little screaming aliens. Instead, he’d—

“Commander, we seem to have a spacecraft following. Orders?”

Train of thought broken by the threat of danger, he snapped to attention. “Bring it up on the viewscreen.” The panoramic view of the star cluttered galaxy disappeared, 28

Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais replaced by that of a sleek vessel. “Origin of the craft?” he asked not recognizing its style or markings.

“A Zonian explorer ship. One life form aboard.” And far from home. Their race tended to not travel far from their solar system. “Am I currently wanted by the Zonians for anything?” He hoped not. That fierce tribe of females, while they rarely left their home world, were renown for their fighting skills—and the fact that males, not of their species, tended to not survive the mating dance they indulged in after battle.

“Negative, commander. Ship appears to be veering off.”

“Any other signs of pursuit?”

“No.”

“Good. I’m going to sleep now. Wake me if anything changes.”

Heading to his quarters, Jaro stripped out of the assassin head cloak and the tiny bottoms that left little to the imagination. He placed it in the ship’s cleansing unit, though, along with the bloody arm whip. A warrior and assassin never knew when a disguise like that might come in handy, either for subterfuge—or in the bedroom. Nude, he used the ship’s laser shower unit to disintegrate the gray dye from his skin.

Back to his purple color, he dressed in some loose shorts.

Using the smaller computer unit in his room, he did a system 29

Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais and galactic perimeter check. Everything seemed calm and vessel free, which meant he could get some rest.

Dropping off into sleep, the jarring sound of the ship’s alarm woke him only a short time later. He’d no sooner sat up when a shockwave rocked the ship. Everything went silent and black as the energy pulse temporarily threw his computer offline.

Ah frukx. I should have known my escape was too easy.

Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais
Chapter Four

Aylia only trailed her target’s ship long enough for her to listen to his plans via the bug she’d planted on its hull.

While a true tracking device, or attempt to hijack his computer, would bring attention, a simple audio recording device, made of organic components, went virtually undetected. Once she learned his destination, she veered off to shadow him out of range, her ship’s cloaking device, a rare and expensive feature, hiding her from his ship’s radar.

Impatiently waiting for her chance, and for them to reach a less habited part of the galaxy, she couldn’t help the constant squirming in her seat as excitement gripped her.
Soon
I’l have my purple warrior in my grasp and then..

What to expect next, she’d not quite fully understood, although, she’d watched some educational videos that made it seem like a lot of groaning and gyrating. Presumably, the beings indulging found it pleasurable, although some of the contorted expressions and screams made her wonder.

However, this isn’t about personal gratification but the start of
my future as a Zonian matriarch.
Despite her mental claim, the flutter of her heart said otherwise. She also had to wonder if her experience would mirror what she’d seen on screen given none of the creatures depicted looked completely like her.

31

Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais Most of the females seemed to sport more than two teats, and their skin hues varied to every color but the pale white pigment she owned.
Am I a mutant of my kind?
She’d allowed the computer to run tests on her, and it claimed she was perhaps descended from humans originating from a barbarian protected planet called Earth. But, the image of the female it displayed showed a black-skinned being, who, while two breasted obviously, didn’t even come close to sharing the same skin tone. Not that it mattered. She was Zonian now despite her background.

The testing did serve another purpose, which involved the computer displaying potential races she could mate with, their genetic makeup similar enough to her own for breeding to work.
And lucky for me, my chosen purple warrior
has just the right genes.

Ever impatient, Aylia made her move as his ship entered a galactic dust cloud, the charged particles swirling around their ships, messing with the computer readings.

Depressing a button, an energy pulse, followed by a second one for good measure, shot from her prow and hit the target ship, the electrical zap shut down all onboard systems.

The effect, a temporary one, would render the ship useless until his system rebooted. Not wasting any time, the computer brought her ship over to the other, locking them together. The hatch at her feet opened, and she aimed a laser 32

Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais torch at the metal, cutting a hole through the hull. Tossing a sphere into the space, she slapped her hand against the console to seal the portal, and then counted.

The gas bomb would take a few galactic moments to disperse, rendering her prey unconscious. Donning a facemask to filter left over fumes, she opened the portal and dropped into the darkness. She unclipped a light from her belt and switched it on, its faint illumination enough for her to make her way through the vessel in a silent search. A more sizable ship than her own, the power managed to come back on before she’d located her quarry. At the first glimpse of his mostly naked purple flesh, her heart quickened, and a strange tingling heat invaded her body.

Rolling him onto his back, she couldn’t help admiring his strong features, which even in his unconscious state, drew her. His dark lips appeared as the only thing soft about him.

Everything else, from his square chin, his sculpted cheeks, and his rugged nose, screamed strength. She couldn’t help glancing at his body, a formidable specimen of defined muscles covered in a sleek mauve skin, a hairless chest leading down to a pair of loose shorts. Curious, she drew her knife and slit the fabric from him, parting it to reveal…a rather disappointing, flaccid rod.

But that’s because he sleeps. According to the computer, in
order for it to stand up like a mighty sword, he must feel arousal.
She 33

Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais refused to think about how she would get him to achieve that state. Surely, it couldn’t be too difficult. The videos she’d seen all showed the males hardening at the first sign of feminine nudity.

Time enough later to figure out how to get his cock to plump up, first she needed to get him situated before he woke. In all her scenarios when she’d planned her abduction, though, she’d never counted on one thing. The male was bloody heavy!

In the Zonian society, females outweighed the males and thus encountered no problems hoisting their chosen prey onto a shoulder to take them to a private place that they might ravish them.

In her case, though, the male proved huge, and when she tried to lift him, she only managed to get him partially off the floor and slide him a few paltry units.

Dropping him with a heavy thump, her chest heaving with exertion, she placed her hands on her hips in exasperation. She needed a new strategy because carrying him appeared out of the question.

In the end, she abandoned her original plan of moving him onto her ship and into the specially made bed with manacles waiting for him there. Instead, with the use of some rope, and a makeshift pulley system, she managed to heave him back onto his bed. But her task didn’t stop there.

34

Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais Seeing signs of him stirring, she tranquilized him and then went to work. Using a power mallet, she drove some spikes into his floor and walls that she might thread some rope to bind him. Just the act of tying him, stretching his powerful body, and feeling his heated skin against her own, made her cleft moisten. She couldn’t resist stroking a hand down his muscled chest, circling about his cock, not yet bold enough to touch it. It came to her attention, that unlike many male species she’d researched, this one did not have bollocks under his shaft. How disappointing, as she’d found the hanging balls quite fascinating in her studies of the male form.

In the end, she tranquilized him several times while she went about her tasks, her victim’s resistance to drugs formidable. She finally finished preparing him and the surrounding area for his ravishment before he regained consciousness—probably because she’d given him a triple shot just a short time ago, tired of constantly having to prick him. Disappointed and impatient, instead of standing over him, staring like some battle struck newbie, she left him to take care of the ships. She needed to ensure her craft didn’t undock until she’d repaired the hole in the hull. Once she welded the opening shut, she’d order her ship to shadow her captive’s one until she’d completed her task. While she worked with her hands, she used audio commands to run a bypass from her computer to his to take over control of his 35
