Alexa
opened her eyes to see a strange looking man with blue hair and amber
catlike eyes. “Who are you? And what's with your eyes?” As she
looked around the room, it looked like something from a sci-fi
movie---like her dream."Where are we?" She asked, although
she thought she already knew.
"I
am Chaytok Larren. This is my ship," he told her in mildly
accented English. "Your injuries were serious so I brought you
here to heal you."
"Yes.
I remember. Jetson got scared and threw me." she murmured. "So
now what? Why are you here?"
"My
star drive failed. I had to land until the Alliance can send a ship
with parts to repair it. It was never my intention to land or make
direct contact." Chaytok told her. "But, I couldn't leave
you injured lying in the dirt. You have nothing to fear from me."
Alexa
knew it was true. She had always believed a there were other worlds
in the universe that supported intelligent life. More than that, she
recognized the green form fitting shirt and pants of his uniform. He
was the man from her dream. Despite his blue hair and cat-like eyes
he was an exotically gorgeous male with a well defined muscles,
accentuated by his snug fitting clothing. His eyes held kindness as
he looked down at her.
It
wasn't like those fairy tale alien romances she liked to read late at
night. He wasn't here looking for a mate in the middle of nowhere.
He had a vehicle breakdown and was waiting for a tow so to speak. But
that didn't explain her dream.
He
leaned over her and removed the medical tool from her forehead. Then
scanned her again. “Your injuries are healed.” he said and
returned the tool to its cabinet. He came back to her side and
asked, “How do you feel?”
“Okay,
I think. This is so awesome!" She looked up at him in wonder and
started to sit up. She felt a little lightheaded as she put her feet
to the floor so she just sat there for a moment. She reached up and
touched his hand just to satisfy herself that he was real. His skin
was warm, but he flinched as a jolt of attraction flashed between
them.
"I'm
sorry, did I hurt you?" She looked at him uncertainly.
He
shook his head, unable to verbalize exactly what he felt, except that
he knew it wasn't pain. But, then as he felt the tightening in his
groin, he realized what was happening and shuddered. He knew the
consequences but he couldn't stop it any more than he could stop the
beating of his heart.
“It's
been a long time since I was touched by another being.” he said
unevenly.
