Chapter 26
Vicki Varsa
Watching Alicron give a scorching speech to a vast army of one thousand was the most attractive thing I had ever seen. He was full of passion when he gave his speech. The army listened and hung on his every word. Watching them salute their leader with loyalty made me look at him completely differently. This tall blue alien with long dark hair and light blue eyes wasn't just a stubborn captain; he was a ruler. He had a lot on his shoulders. He was given the responsibility of saving his race. I now understood all the pressure that he was under. It made me want to be at his side to share the burden. I wanted to take care of him. I wanted to be there to be the one he turned to when he was feeling overwhelmed if only just to have me soothe and console him. It was what I wanted. I now knew that for sure.
So when he told me that the king expected me to marry him, it was a shock, but I did not disagree. I liked the idea of being his wife, not his property the way he had been referring to me. The wife was more of an equal partner to me and not just something that he owned.
When he proposed, I said yes, because I wanted to, not because I was being forced to.
So now sitting next to him in the common room eating a couple of snacks and drinking some water, I felt lighthearted even though we were heading for a dangerous mission. I felt a lot of pressure off of me. It felt good to have some identity again. I was no longer a human female that had been abducted by aliens. I was not a human female that was in love with an alien. I was going to be his wife. I was going to be his wife because I wanted to, not because I was a prisoner being forced to.
“I want to show you to a private room. This will be our living quarters on the trip,” he said getting up.
“All right. It is nice to have a place to go lay down for a minute, and use the washroom,” I said laughing. He held his large blue hand out to me. I put my small hand in his. We both looked at it. It was a strange sight to see my pale hand in his large blue hand. He squeezed it and then we walked down the hall. He opened the door to a small living quarters. It would do. It had a bed and a table and a private washroom.
“This is it. This is for us. I will spend the majority of my time on the flight deck until we arrive. You are welcome you take your seat on the flight deck as well. Just stay buckled in,” he said.
“Yes, Captain,” I said.
He pulled me to him and kissed me again. “I don't know why I agreed to let you come on this. I can't keep my hands off of you. You are too much of a distraction I will never get anything done,” he said.
“Well you are just going to have to, Captain, because we have a lot of work to do,” I said.
He pulled me closer and kissed me. His warm lips were on mine, and I opened my mouth, letting his long tongue into my mouth. We kissed passionately. I rubbed my hands up and down his strong arms. I felt my body responding. I felt the wetness growing between my thighs. I would have to stop this or we would never leave this room.
“Oh no, we need to stop. Can we have work to do? Let's go to the flight deck. Let's go rescue our friends from those piece of shit cyborgs,” I said grabbing his hand and leading him out of the room.
“Spoken like a captain,” he said.
“I prefer princess,” I teased.
He laughed at me. “I prefer wife,” he said. We both laughed. We walked back onto the flight deck, and I sat down in my seat and buckled up. He went to the front and began to ask about our course. I watched him. I watched him with new eyes. This was the alien that was going to be my husband. He was tall, attractive, strong, stubborn, but kind. Most of all, he would do anything for me, even putting himself in danger. I knew that he loved me: real love.
I could not believe that this was my life. I had been an agent in Hollywood only days ago. My biggest worry was closing a deal on a movie. Now my worry was finding my friend and rescuing her from a shipwreck on an alien planet with hostile cyborgs. It had changed fast. It was absolutely crazy. I went from being an agent very stressed out to being the fiancée of a tall blue alien known as a Kynon. I was going to be his wife. I was going to be an alien princess. I smiled. It was absolutely crazy.
But even though I was extremely in love and happy, I was still very worried about Bridget. I did not know what she was going through. I did not know if she was alive. I was sure that every single human that crashed on the planet was trying to figure out a way to survive. I was sure that they would have their own adventures to tell. I hoped that Bridget was alive to tell me hers. I wanted to find her. Now, we were on our way with an entire army at our side. We would find them. We would rescue them and take them back to my new home: the Kynon planet known as Xeion. I couldn't wait.
