Love From A Star: A BWWM Alien Romance (10 page)

He
slapped his hands to his sides in defeat and looked over at Ned, who
hurried away before he became the target of another verbal assault.
As soon as they got to the door they ran into Antash.

Samuel
stood there looking at the being. “He doesn’t look alien
at all,” he said in surprise.

“That’s
because he can change form to adapt to his environment. Show him
Antash,” she said, and right before his eyes Samuel saw Antash
turn from chocolate to emerald and he almost fainted at the sight.

“I
think I need to sit down,” he said.

“May
I come in Sir?” Antash asked.

Samuel
turned to look at the being as if surprised he would demonstrate
proper conduct. He nodded and walked off to get some water. Maybe
that would help the drum beating in his head.

“Jalicia,
I have to leave now,” he said as he peered into her eyes that
were now getting teary.

“I
know,” she said as she choked back the tears. “I just
wish you didn’t have to.”

“Well,
the good news is Solaris is safe for now. The Brocoy did not intend
for so many of us to come here, so we took down their ships and
wounded many of them. They will not want to attack now, but we are
aware of their intentions to do so, so we will be prepared if they
ever come again.”

“So
all is well with Santina then,” she smiled, but he could see
the sadness in her eyes.

“You
will meet her one day Jalicia. I appreciate all the help you gave to
me when I needed it the most, even when you didn’t know me. You
were meant to help people, and maybe I came here for you to realize
that. Follow your dreams and never forget your heart; it will lead
you home,” he smiled. And she couldn’t help smiling too.

“I
hope I do meet her one day,” she said, “and that I will
see Solaris too.”

“You
will,” he said as he placed a kiss on her forehead. He was well
aware of her father watching, so there was nothing more he could do
by way of showing affection for her. “And thank you Ned,”
he said as he extended his arm to him. “If it wasn’t for
your help, I probably wouldn’t be getting home now. You have a
bright future ahead of you, and I hope we meet again.”

“Can
I keep it?” Ned asked as he referred to the communicator. It
didn’t take Antash long to figure out what he meant.

“Sure
thing; it’s the least I can do,” he said. “Besides,
it’s broken,” he said as he winked.

Then
Antash turned to Samuel and extended his arm as well. “Thank
you Sir, for the kind use of your barn. I know you didn’t know
about it, but still it was yours. You raised a lovely daughter; don’t
ever doubt what she will become.”

“Well
you sure are nothing like I’ve seen on TV,” Samuel said
as he warmed up to Antash. They all laughed at his remark. Then he
slapped his hand into the alien’s and smiled. “I think
they are waiting for you,” he said as he looked outside.

“Sure,”
he told Samuel, and then he made one last sweep of the room with his
eyes, nodded to Jalicia and walked out.

He was
barely at the door of the ship when he heard Jalicia calling after
him. He turned around and waited for her to catch up to him and as
she did, she crash landed into him. She threw her arms around him and
he could feel the tears being transferred from her eyes to his chest.

“No,
don’t cry,” he said as he pulled back so he could see her
face. “I will be back,” he told her.

“I
know,” she said. “It just doesn’t change the fact
that you are leaving now and that makes me sad.”

Antash
stroked her face and then very gently placed a kiss on her lips. She
closed her eyes as she drank him in, and the others who waited for
him were silent, and then moved away to afford them privacy. When
their lips separated, he turned and walked up the steps of the ship
and then there was the familiar hissing sound and then a bang as it
closed. She retreated to the house where she could safely watch them
taking off, and the longer she looked, the more tears flowed.

Ned came
over and rubbed her shoulders in support. “I’m going to
miss him too,” he said. Jalicia looked up and smiled at him
appreciatively.

“Dad,”
she said as the aircraft disappeared from view. “I’m
going back to Washington.”

Samuel
was beside himself with joy, and tongue tied as he watched his
daughter take the few steps to the second landing of the house. He
was about to question what made her change her mind when he
remembered Antash’s words, and he was suddenly grateful for the
alien he met if only for a brief moment in time.

*****

“I
didn’t know you would ever come back at all,” Ned said as
he and Jalicia headed out to the clearing where she had met Antash.

“I
told you I would,” she said. “Besides, two years isn’t
such a long time,” she said as she smiled.

“Depends
on where you live,” he said. “It seemed like forever on
my side,” he grinned and the freckles on his face seemed to
light up again. “But why come back here?”

“I
heard a doctor is needed in town. I figure I can practice and keep an
eye on my dad at the same time-win-win situation for me,” she
smiled. And then her face got blank and she looked up to the sky.
“So, have you heard anything from Antash since he left that
thing?” she asked hopefully. She was walking slowly through the
grass now, kicking tufts of it from her path as she stripped a blade
she had grabbed earlier.

“Nah,”
Ned replied. “It does seem to be broken like he said.”
Then he paused and looked at her. “Do you really think he might
come back?”

“I
was hoping he would, but it has been two years, and there has been
only silence,” she said as she rested against the bark of the
tree the two had marked when Antash had been there.

“Maybe
something happened that prevented him coming back,” Ned said as
he tried to pacify her. “Or maybe time travels differently
there and it has only been a month on Solaris,” he said and
grinned.

Jalicia
laughed at what he was saying. “Yeah, maybe,” she said.
“Still, I wish he would come back. Why don’t you throw
away that thing?” she asked Ned.

“Are
you crazy? Discard alien technology? There might be something here I
can patent,” he said and grinned.

“I
guess you could,” she said.

“Not
a bad idea,” they heard someone say behind them.

Jalicia
turned and almost fell as she saw the face of the most handsome alien
she could ever imagine seeing. “Antash,” she said as she
bounded from the ground and rushed into his arms.

“Easy
there,” he said as he laughed.

She
didn’t hesitate to kiss him, hungrily and longingly, and Ned
was forced to turn his head away from the show they were putting on.

“What
took you so long?” she asked.

“The
Brocoy tricked us. When we got back there was already a war on
Solaris, but we managed to defeat them again. Then we had to rebuild
and, well, you understand right?”

“Of
course I do. How is Santina?” she asked.

“Why
don’t you ask her yourself?” he asked as he moved away
and she saw the girl, who had the body of a woman, standing there.

“Hello,”
she smiled. “I’ve wanted to meet you,” she said as
she came around Antash.

“And
I you,” Jalicia said. “My, you are big for a little one,”
Jalicia said.

Santina
laughed. “So my brother keeps telling me.” Then she
walked away and looked about her. “So, this is earth? It looks
a lot like Solaris, except there is more grass.” Antash and
Jalicia looked at each other and laughed. Santina looked back at
them. “What?” she asked with an amused look on her face.

“That
was the same thing he said when he first saw here. I was quick to
tell him there are many other places that don’t have this much
grass. And then there is the beach...”

“The
beach. How I’d love to go there,” she said. “Oh,
please Antash, can’t we stay a while longer so we can go to the
beach?”

Antash
looked at Jalicia who in turn looked at Ned. “Well I can use
the truck,” he said. “It’s my day off,” he
said and smiled.

“Oh,
I’ve forgotten my manners; Santina this is Ned. He was the one
who fixed my communicator.”

“Thank
you Ned,” she said.

“No
problem. But first things first; Santina, you have to change form.
You can’t go to the beach looking like that.

We can
head to the house and I can loan you a bathing suit,” Jalicia
said.

“Great,”
she said as she clapped her hands and skipped around. “Let’s
go; I’m excited.”

All four
of them walked off to Jalicia’s house-Ned and Santina in the
front, and her and Antash in the back. Their hands were locked and he
leaned over to kiss her on her ear. “I told you I would be
back,” he whispered.

“I
never doubted you,” she said and smiled at him. “I became
a doctor,” she said proudly. “Thanks for giving me the
faith to.”

“No
Jalicia, you had it all along. You just couldn’t see it yet.”

They
stole kisses as they walked, their fingers locked together, and for
the first time in a very long time, Jalicia felt happy and complete.

The end.

Here's a
preview of it:

An alien
romance story for adults.

It's
been 300 years since first stepping foot on the moon, and the human
race is on a mission:

To find
another planet capable of sustaining human life.

Katrina
is one of the crew tasked with this important expedition, but when
they find a habitable planet to set up base, she finds she is treated
as no more than a glorified slave.

Having
lived her entire life under the thumb of those with power, she
decides to run away. And as she does, she meets Da'al, a native alien
male with gold skin and green hair...

Yummy!

Katrina
can't help but be attracted to this well built alien, and soon the
two form a bond tighter than she's ever shared with any human.

But not
all is well in this new world. Soon both races will face a threat
that could mean the end to life as they know it.

Can
Katrina and Da'al find love and happiness in a world where death
threatens them at every turn?

Find out
in this new sci fi romance by respected paranormal author Jane Rowe.

Suitable
for over 18s only due to hot and out of this world sex scenes.

In the almost three hundred years since human beings had first
stepped foot on the surface of the moon, growth had followed a
predictable, if not wholly beneficial, pattern. After the initial
excitement of actually "going there" wore off, extra
terrestrial exploration and growth faltered until it became
economically necessary for man to step beyond his home planet. Much
like the Agricultural Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and any
other sizable economic shift in history, it was often done piecemeal
and sloppily, with a lot of wasted effort and resources.

It wasn't long before the solar system was seemingly tapped out, as
comets were harnessed for their water, and Europa was drained. Mars
was terraformed, and the asteroid belt was mined. Even cold, rocky
Ganymede in orbit around the king Jupiter was colonized. Seemingly
massive amounts of real estate quickly became packed to capacity,
with the total system wide population nearing thirty billion.

It was then that man once again turned to a long marginalized area
of astronomy, the search for extra solar planets capable of
sustaining human life. After aborted attempts in the early twenty
first century could find nothing more than a collection of
"Super-Earths" that would crush most humans with their
gravitational field, science focused on the immediate problem of
sustaining human life on nearby planets. Funding for finding extra
solar planets was slashed, and humankind focused on developing their
own neighborhood for close to two hundred years.

It was only when the terraforming of Venus failed for the fifth time
that some in the system wide government looked around and realized
that once again, humanity had wasted most of the bountiful resources
presented to it by nature and was on the brink of crisis again. Using
the best estimates, man had only a century at most, unless drastic
cultural changes were made, or new options for expansion were
discovered. Since the last thing humans often want is to make changes
to the way they live, resources were poured once again into
discovering habitable planets in at least somewhat nearby star
systems.
