Being with Karissa was unlike anything I had ever experienced. Now I understood the need to capture human females from Earth. It was worth dying for. I didn't know it could feel so damn good to be inside a human female. But it was; it was so damn good. She was beautiful to look at. She was sexy. She was deadly. I was impressed with everything about her, and all of it only made me want her more and more. Now that I had sampled her, I didn't see how I could live without it. But I had promised her. That promise meant a lot to me. I had promised to get her to Earth and to safely return her, and then to leave.
That promise now haunted me. Why did I make such a stupid promise? I would have to give her up in order to save her life. But I had to; she had just saved to mine. I didn't know how long it would take to find my own human female mate, especially after the mess that she had left back in the Corillion galaxy. It could have taken years and my time would run out since I only had months left. By Karissa giving herself to me, she had extended my life. She had given me freedom. She had given me so much. I owed her everything. Now we were twenty-four hours away from the lunar base outside of Earth that I had captured her from. It would be a very stealthy mission, and I had to have all my wits about me.
"So what's the plan?” she asked as she sat on the counter of the kitchen, stuffing her face as she always did. I enjoyed watching her eat. She was adorable. Her full red lips and wide blue eyes were all concentrated on her food. But looking at those lips, I could only think about having them on me. I could only think about kissing them. I could only think about being inside of her. I had to force myself to focus.
"We're going to get in the same way I got in the first time,” I said to her. She stopped eating and arched her eyebrows at me and said, “You're going to let me in on a Corillion secret? That is considered espionage where I'm from. Giving the enemy your war tactics,” she said.
"It is considered betrayal where I am from, treacherous, and punishable by death. But what choice do we have? I can't exactly just pull up to your base and drop you off and then safely leave can I?” I said.
"No, I suppose not. That would be very dangerous; funny, but dangerous,” she laughed.
"So tell me how it's done, Captain. Just like I told you how it's done last night,” she said teasing me. As soon as she said it, I felt hot and flushed Remembering what we did as moments came back to me. I began to feel my staff grow hard.
"I saw you watching me. I think you know that by now. I also heard you in your bunk afterward,” I said to her.
"I should be saying that to you. You are the one that spied on me, remember?” I said putting my hands on my hips, playfully mad at her.
"Are you trying to distract me from your plan? It's not going to work. Tell me how we're going to do this. I will need to play my part,” she said.
"Fine, let's get started.” I rolled out a map of Earth’s moon. She gasped in shock.
"We made it. We have our own intelligence gathering as well. We have been in this war with Earth for decades; do you think we would not know the enemy?” I said to her.
"Last time, I landed on the dark side of the moon and then took a small land vehicle to the backside of your lunar base. There is no fence because I assume Earthlings think no one would approach in that direction, only by air. It worked well for me. As soon as I got to the outermost building, that is where I found you. That is where I will take you again,” I said to her.
"It sort of was. I had to be very quiet, slow, and stealthy in the land vehicle so as not to draw the eye my way, but slow and patient paid off. It was just my luck that there was a female in the outer building: you.”
"Yes,” she said with a bit of anger to her voice. "So that's it then. We will land this hunk of junk on the dark side of the moon and then take a land vehicle quietly to the building where you will release me. Then you will take the rover back and be on your way back to the Corillion galaxy,” she said.
"Yes, that is the promise I made you. That is the promise that I must keep,” I said to her.
"Thank you, Kai,” she said as she jumped off the counter and then stopped before leaving the room and said, “I will be ready.”
"I wish I had something more for you to wear besides that dress,” I said to her.
"Yes, it is not exactly what I would want to wear on a stealth mission,” she said to me.
"That is not why. It is because I can see your hard nipples through the fabric and now that I have tasted them, seeing them only makes me want to taste them again and again,” I said to her.
"Oh,” she said, and paused for a second before she walked out. I did not know what she was thinking, but I knew what I was thinking. I was sacrificing a lot by returning her back to Earth. I was sacrificing my own needs of wanting her badly. I never should have touched her; then I wouldn’t know what I was missing.
Twenty-four hours later, we were on the surface of the lunar base, close to the area where I had landed before. Karissa and I sat in the land vehicle inside the ship.
"I didn't know the ship was carrying such a vehicle. It is surprising for such a small ship,” she said, looking around the inside of the vehicle. It did not escape my attention that she was pretty much a spy in enemy territory inside an enemy vehicle and she was soaking it all in.
"Yes,” she said to me. I grabbed her wrist and tied it to the dash of the vehicle.
"You must look like a prisoner, a captive. It is just a precaution in case we are caught before I can get you back to the building. If we were captured and you did not look like a captive, it will not look good for you,” I said to her.
"Good point,” she said, calming down. Then I moved the vehicle out of the ship and we were roving across the lunar sand.
"Kai, I really hope that everything works out all right when you return. I can't thank you enough for this. I really am happy to be home. I missed it. You were very wrong to take me from here in the first place, but I thank you for returning me. I don't think there are many Corillion warriors that would do such a thing,” she said to me.
"What is that?” She said as she turned her face away from me and looked ahead, outside the windshield. Suddenly, large lights appeared all around us, encircling us.
"I guess my plan isn't so stealthy this time,” I said as the human soldiers came forward with guns aiming at us.
"Let's just tell them the truth. Maybe they will let you go in exchange for helping to return me," she said.
"There's a human with him! There is a female!” another soldier shouted as lights were shining on Karissa's face.
"It is agent Lane! It is agent Lane!” another soldier yelled as he opened the door.
"Don't worry, Agent. You are safe now. We got you,” the soldier said as he cut the ties around her wrists. She turned to look at me with a worry in her eyes. I knew what she was about to do. I shook my head ‘no’ to her. But of course, that did not stop her. She always did what she wanted.
"No, you have it all wrong! This Corillion warrior was returning me. He comes on friendly terms to leave me and then return home!” she shouted.
"I am sure that is what he told you!” the soldier said as he pulled Karissa out of the vehicle and then pulled her away from me.
"Get out of the vehicle with your hands above your head!” the soldier shouted at me as several guns were aimed at me. I did as I was told. I knew there was no reasoning at this moment, and resistance would make this situation worse. It was best to let Karissa explain the situation to a higher authority. That is what would be done in the Corillion galaxy, and I knew that Earth obviously had a hierarchy as well. She would speak of my sacrifice to return her and how dangerous it was because she was a fugitive in my land, a wanted murderer. So I put my hands above my head and let the soldiers lead me away back to their lunar moon base. I was put into a prison cell to await my fate; I knew that at any moment, Karissa would be visiting me to tell me what was going to happen to me, that she had cleared my name and I would be able to return home. Or so I hoped.
I sat in the cell waiting. I didn't know how much time had passed, but the Earthlings fed me. I’d had five meals so far, and to me, that meant it had been at least two days since I was captured. Karissa had not visited me, and I knew nothing of what was going on outside of my cell. The guards did not speak around me, not even to each other. They were very tightlipped. But they did not mess with me either, which was refreshing. I began to think that I was on my own here. I couldn't rely on Karissa to get me out of here. Maybe she didn't plead for my release. Maybe she was fine with my capture; she was an enemy agent, after all.
These thoughts of betrayal by her started to make more and more sense the longer that I stayed in the prison cell. My paranoia was growing strong. I was going to be left here to rot.
"Corillion warrior!” a guard yelled as he came to the cell door accompanied by five other guards with their guns pointed at me. I stood up but remained silent.
Was this Karissa's doing? Had she arranged this? Was I about to be led to a stealth path to help me escape? If so, I needed to be ready. I quietly stretched my limbs as they opened the door.
"This way. You're going to love this,” the guard said as he waited for me to walk out of the cell. I followed one guard in front of me while the rest guarded me from behind. I was led to a stairway that led down into some sort of basement. Was I going on an underground path to a ship?
But when I walked into the room, I saw exactly what it was. There were many chains and torture devices. I was going to be questioned, and it wasn't going to be pretty.
