2 A breathtaking tyrant

Angel

No! Skirt! No, don't touch me!

It's over, baby. Ended. I will never leave you out of my eyes again. I ... I'm so sorry ...

I I love you....

Forgiveness, sweetness.

-She is still weak, but her signs are strong and stable.The recovery is remarkable. There are marks of rupture of tissues and perforations in various parts of her body that suggest an attack by .... Grant was silent without knowing how to explain that they would probably be attack by aliens.

It was difficult to adapt to a new reality in which humans lived hidden as survivors while the entire planet was dominated by alien creatures.

-I'm not even leaving her side. - The voice was determined that it would not accept any argument.

Max was the kind of company that Grant would never think of ever having. An alien. They looked almost human. There were eyes that were completely golden. And perhaps more other differences that Grant would be most interested in discovering by curiously examining blood samples. Only Angel looked like he came to that lab with an angry protector. There was a captain who was enraged and did not accept any argument from him.

-Be patient, Zorack. -You won't be able to organize all this mess here. There are almost three thousand people! You managed to do an excellent job with the Spartackus shields around the hangar, but we're talking about people. Scared and frightened people. I think they deserve an explanation.

-How is she doctor? Want to explain to me why the hell doesn't wake up? - Zorack didn't seem to hear anything. - Why hasn't she woken up yet? You told me that her injuries were superficial despite the broken ribs.

Grant sighed in resignation.

-She has some broken ribs. I know what you want to know, boy. Grant shook his head ruefully. - I can't say if there was sexual abuse, with all the hell! There are signs of burns in the genital area. I needed almost three bags of blood to avoid a shock that I can't imagine why. I found no evidence of bleeding for this.

An Edrian's patience was short.

-But she's bleeding.

It was an argument for which old Doctor Grant who intended to retire was not sure how to explain.

-Well, the physiology of humans ... - Grant sighed embarrassed. - It is perfectly normal for a woman to bleed.

And you haven't even met the famous TPM, ET. I hope only! The doctor rolled his eyes trying to be serious in a situation like that absurd.

Max's hand still squeezed Zorack's shoulder for patience. He burned with guilt and remorse.

-As well? - raised his voice with visible annoyance. - Since when is it normal ...

Grant took a miserable breath.

-It is the perfectly normal reproductive cycle of a human woman. There is flaking of the inner walls of the uterus when there is no fertilization and occurs every month. They occur very frequently and do not last more than seven days. Of course, they can happen in women who do not know they are pregnant or through the use of contraceptives. I suppose we are not raising the possibility of a pregnancy ...

Grant was silent with the murderous look he received.

Angry Zorack tried to control the entire mood.

- This is primitive. And still intend to resist and fight K'Aldriants? Most of the time, there is no harm or benefit to a female's body in menstruating.

Despite all his complaints, Zorack felt his insides turn over. If they had experimented with it or implanted embryos as they usually did ...

Grant sighed in resignation.

-Look, I know you're worried! - the doctor tried another approach. - I can guarantee that despite the girl's dejected appearance, Angel is fine. We are not talking about any unexpected pregnancies. There's not even a hint of a miscarriage that might raise the chance that Angel is pregnant, okay?

-And yet she didn't wake up! - Zorack watched cold. - Shouldn't she be awake? It's been like this for almost three days now.

-She'll wake up as soon as she's ready for this, boy. We don't know what the girl went through. Let her mind handle it all.

The Edriano grunted under his breath. They were not answers to the questions he wanted. Laser bite and burn marks made him suffer in hell. It was unquestionable that those creatures had fed on her blood. He was ready to go crazy wondering what else had happened.

Angel had even woken up twice during all this time quite frightened and fighting against him in an attempt to escape his hands, before returning to the irritating lethargy after administering sedatives so that the cut on her arm would not bleed again. The words might be incomprehensible, but there was one that he had understood very well. Ravenack.

-I don't need to rest. - He decided uncompromisingly. - Not until I am absolutely sure that she is really well.

Grant and Max looked at each other without knowing what to do. Outside the laboratory several people needed to be housed and supplies checked so that the stock did not have unnecessary losses.

And apparently all of that would have to wait.

-Are we stuck here? There are still people outside.- someone shouted loud and furious.

-And what does it matter? Did you see what's outside, irrational woman? I have children who ...

-And how long do you think we will survive like this confined? They spoke of a pandemic. Another pandemic! The distance here will be ...

-Oh, shut up! shouted angrier. Who cares about distance? Social isolation?! Pandemic? We are being invaded. The damn planet was invaded by things ...

-I heard those rumors. They're nonsense! We still have no evidence that they are hostile!

The tall man gestured in bewilderment.

-They are hostile in my opinion if I am the appetizer of the meal.

The shouting continued in high spirits in the confined environment. Taking a deep breath, Zorack looked at Max and sighed. It would take more work than could imagine to calm those people down. Resigned, he moved on without giving any importance to the humans who moved away curious.

-Maybe she's right. There may be people. - Zorack spoke loudly facing the looks of fear and curiosity. - There is a deadly virus in the atmosphere of your planet. And we will have to find a way to survive confined while we await rescue.

The silence fell heavy and oppressive.

-You ... you're not ... - A woman started to speak and fell silent.

- I'm not human. My name is Zorack. - The captain agreed, keeping his gaze fixed on his audience trying to demonstrate something he didn't feel. Confidence. We're all here together and safe as long as the ship's defense shields work. I can assure you that they are hostile. Let's get organized, gather supplies we have and stay alive. That's what matters most at the moment.

He started to give orders and his mind was still locked on the unconscious girl. Answers. Angel would inevitably ask questions for answers that he would rather not have to give.

Everything in the body ached with the slightest movement. The silence was the first thing that caught Angel's attention when she opened her eyes in fright. The second and most urgent was the need for the bathroom with pressure on the bladder.

It was a room with little furniture. And without windows. The feeling of imprisonment made her uncomfortable. Since when did a room have no windows? Was it a prison? She struggled to move her legs and head swirled. Soon afterwards she heard a very clear plague. Strong arms held her carefully while breathing slowly. Was there any part of her body that didn't hurt?

-Damn it, girl! I left you alone for just a few moments this time. People outside are agitated and arguing. -Zorack had the ugliest face he could manage with severity.

Zorack?

Angel stared as if the vision was yet another hallucination. And yet the sensation of the warm arms against her body made her gasp.

-Yeah ... is it really you? - her voice came weak and low. - I need ... I need a bathroom. I need ... a lot to do ... to do ...

Zorack watched her appearance carefully.

-I can solve this! - He agreed lifting Angel in his arms and walking to the door ajar in the corner of the room.

Angel stopped dizzy. It was really him. The eternal way to give orders! The reality came back as a blessing on her. No more hostile spaceships, clones or aliens. Nor Ravenack. Thinking about him made her shiver.

-I think I better call the doctor. You didn't have a fever, but still ...

-Please, Zorack. I just need ... - she lowered her head, embarrassed when she was placed on the floor and more awkward when she realized that Edriano did not intend to leave.

- I'm not going anywhere. - He declared categorical. - The way you can get trouble will end up falling.

Angel looked at him embarrassed.

-It's ... it's ... Really, Zorack. I have to do ... damn it! I need to pee. I can't find you looking.

Zorack's smile was amused by her shame.

-Is there any place that I haven't touched or tasted to be that awkward? We don't have hospitals around here. Who do you think took care of you these three days? He smiled smugly.

Her eyes widened as she sat on the toilet, her mouth tightening. She looked down at her own arms, aware that there were still marks on her body and chills with a shiver. The bruises were still purple on her legs and arms.

-You are not serious! I hate you! - Angel grunted miserably without being able to stop the pressure in her bladder and bit her lips in pain to urinate.

For the first time, Angel saw Zorack make a smile on his downcast, dark-colored face, despite her concern.

-I am relieved to realize that you are feeling better.Grant prescribed an ointment that will help. - He remained amused. - We can now arrange a bath for you and maybe food. You must be hungry.

She intended to reply that she could do this very well on her own when she noticed Edriano opening his shirt buttons swallowing. He certainly didn't intend to bathe with her, did he?

-I thought I was going to take a shower. - She watched with ill will.

Even so, her eyes were fixed on every part of his body that was slowly exposed. The defined muscles would have made Spike sigh. She even liked to slide her fingers through them, delighting in his smooth skin.

-Not alone. You'll be able to give me more work and for the doctor to fall and get hurt. And as for the bath ... Better not take any chances.

Angel swallowed. Their weak protests were indifferent when Zorack calmly started to lift the shirt she was wearing. And shame came back doubled. She didn't even want to see how the rest of her body was doing. The rest would probably be much worse with the bruises.

What the hell! I must be awful!

He contracted his jaw seriously.

-I'll take your clothes off and maybe get some painkiller later. Are you still in a lot of pain?

Angel nodded dumbly. It was strange that Zorack in front of her, careful and worried. It was definitely not what she expected after ran away and all the fights.

-I am fine. - And it was worse than lies. everything hurt: arms, legs and head. She started again hesitantly: Zorack ...

He was finally admirably naked and capable of taking her breath away. A magnificent body sculpted by forced labor in the mines of N'Tirlay. Angel felt weak legs waiting for the moment when the rebukes would come, promising herself that she would not complain. At the very least, she should be relieved to have escaped Ravenack's clutches.

-You better stop those malicious looks, girl. - He grunted determinedly to turn on the shower tap, controlling the temperature. -Go back to bed and eat. At least to the ribs ... "Zorack shook his head tightly.

After the exams, old Grant had reported admiringly that Angel's system healed her wounds with incredible speed. Just like K'Aldriants did when injured and the thought was not pleasant.

-Zorack, what Scarllet said about ...- Angel tried to find courage.

He looked at her too seriously. He didn't like to remember the crew's reaction when they discovered that Ravenack had somehow invaded the security of the Spartackus. He breathed heavily and was quiet at first.

-What she said? he asked cautiously.

The truth. He didn't feel prepared at all for the truth even more when he had almost lost her. Not after Klaus. Carefully, he brought Angel close, hugging his body against her, allowing the hot water to warm them.

-She ... she ... I'm really a ... a ...

Angel swallowed and terribly terrified as she cowered against her lover.

-Caílin. It doesn't have the slightest ...

-A hybrid of these things and is it not important? - Her voice was nervous. - I ... I ate ...

Zorack noticed the low sob sighing again.

-K'Aldriants usually feed on blood. - His explanation was very cautious. - They have great capacity for regeneration which explains the healing of your ribs. Angel, no matter what ...

-Does not matter? - She asked finally crying. - What kind of monster do I ...

His hands flatly touched her downcast and agonized face.

-That was no reason to run away like that and put yourself in danger. - The scolding was too mild and Angel well knew. - It almost killed me with so much concern. All that matters is that you are safe now.

She did not ignore the truth of his words. And the image of that other Zorack on board the ship made her contract with agony. She no longer knew how to quell despair by trying to imagine what had happened besides kisses. It wasn't fair. Zorack might have been suspicious, but until then he hadn't asked any more questions about what had happened.

Angel noticed that the skin prickled pleasantly. It was his smell. All she wanted was for him to kiss her as if he could erase the hateful memories she brought with him. And Zorack very delicately walked away to get the soap.

-Nothing like that, ma'am. - He was still serious. - I don't tend to be so tolerant. You'll find that out with complete abstinence until I'm sure it's really okay. Grant may have released you, but I'm still taking his diagnosis seriously.

Angel pouted in disgust. It wasn't too much to ask for a kiss.

-I'm sorry for everything ...- She cried again with difficulty clinging to him.

-Shhhh. Ended. It was my fault. I should have been more careful with ...

-I didn't want to be a problem ...

-And it's not! It is not your fault what happened! Did you run away because you thought it was?

-Because of me you lived like a slave and ...

Zorack forgot all caution, and his mouth caressed her trembling lips and groaned with torture when he noticed Angel deepen the kiss and leave him breathless. After all the fear ... she was safe and there. It was everything he could wish for. The desire arose with intensity making him grumble in control. By this time Angel had already managed to get him aroused and with a painful erection when he felt her fingers tease him.

-Have pity, sweetness. You managed to give me a big scare. This time you will obey all the doctor's orders.

-I'm fine. It almost doesn't hurt. And ... - a more abrupt movement from her brought out a strong groan that made Zorack narrow his evaluative gaze.

-Even so...

-Zorack, about what happened ... The ship. There was a clone with my face. They did experiments. Humans were taken there. I was scared ... I thought you ...

-No need to talk ... or explain ... -He tried to appear calm. It didn't matter what had happened.

-I don't know what happened and those marks on my body ....

Zorack's jaw tightened when his hand carelessly pressed against her hip, watching with rage the bruises on her skin with a knot in dry throat.

-It's so much better. There will be nothing to haunt your dreams, Angel.

She nodded quietly, letting the lover wash her hair, the soap gently sliding across her skin. She did not complain when the towel went over body carefully when drying it despite the embarrassment of the bandages. The fingers that applied the ointment were even more embarrassing, delicate and decisive despite his groans of pain with the burn marks in such an intimate place.

And Zorack as he lay in bed, carrying Angel sleepy in his arms, he couldn't be more wrong.

The memories of what had happened were in the girl's subconscious. It was bound to erect a wall between them, just as Ravenack had expected.

Somewhere in the past.

Solar system

Quadrant close to the Blue Planet.

-My name is kalael. I am an officer of the Galactic Confederation.

It was quite a reasonable presentation, it was enough not to open my mouth, showing my fangs. And maybe not letting her see my fins bristling on the back of my back. All I didn't want was another hellish scream. What a breath she had! And what eyes. And as for the body ... It was unbelievable that in that situation I could see how the girl stirred up my most basic instincts. It was kind of warm-blooded.

Suddenly, he was hungry. The heat that her body emanated was the most powerful of aphrodisiacs.

The girl gaped as if processing too much information. Rays! What was so difficult to understand that?A-b-d-u-c-t-e-d. Maybe I should spell it out for her.

Perhaps the detail that humans did not believe in life outside the Blue planet?

Curse. How am I going to explain this to my superiors?

-My FGTS! - the female voice echoed loud and shrill again. - It goes out Wednesday! I can't be abducted like that just like that! They didn't ask me for permission! Where do I get a damn smartphone around here? One that works! I can't really be abducted, okay?

-Forgive me lady? - I muttered, appealing for patience.

She clumsily rummaged through her clothing pockets until she found a small piece of equipment that hardly caught my attention.

They were incredibly attractive green eyes that contrasted with my skin. Have you heard an explanation why a Urodelan is all green and ...

-You want to tell me how I'm going to set up the damn cell phone? What network do you use here? Oh, forget it! Holy shit! At the very least it will be such a 20G or whatever. Do you know that my cell phone here will not give a signal to call the police? And don't even call 1058? And it won't do anything to resend the switch! What the fuck! How will I access the Caixa Tem application and make a deposit to Free market?

1058? Was it some kind of code? I even opened my mouth to speak and closed without answers as the small figure burst into tears in front of me. And what the hell was the Free Market? Something like N'Tirlay?

-Female...

-I can't configure the phone! - the woman frantically moved the small object in her hand while her fingers slid frantically across the screen. - It's a network and coverage problem that you, little man of the stars, can't fix! There is no signal. What the hell is this space without a fucking cell phone antenna?

-Maybe due to the fact that there aren't many humans in space. - Suggested mean.

I then sighed, giving my bad mood infinite patience and regret. None of her words made any sense. Maybe it was a kind of insane race!

Or maybe, just maybe, the girl is in shock. And she decided to freak out in space!

-Why don't you tell me what you are called on your planet?

-Catty, Live attendance, good night ... Ah! - she screamed an eighth louder in my ears.- I ... I .. have to log in. Did you know that I have to login? You will not paste the abduction story to fool the supervisor! I am screwed! Oh, my Sodexo is gone. The time sheet will close and there will be no time to compensate for the delay. Did you know that they now use an hour bank drug? My bank of hours is reset! Even my wallet has more coins than minutes in the bank.

I scratched my head in resignation. Of course, for a primitive race, an attack of nerves could be tolerated with some patience. She could do anything as long as she didn't scream again. I rolled my eyes miserably, scratching my neck.

I looked steadily in her eyes when my hand touched her arm. And it was hellish temptation. The heat it emanated communicated with my whole body, releasing pheromones.

Fear! Her mind was just a jumble of confused ideas where fear prevailed over everything else. There was no acceptance of what was happening there. The human clung to chaotic images of machines as if they could make everything around her disappear.

Trying to remain calm, I forced my mind to connect with it, overcoming the initial barrier of self-defense and denial.

-Listen, female ...

The green eyes flew over me, furious and wider than ever.

-Female?! Female? Man is the same in all places! - She furiously reacted indignantly against the tears to my relief. - I'm not a damn female. I'm not a bloody animal! You won't be able to make any commercial transactions here in the middle of nowhere in space. I can't even be abducted. Do you know how hard it was to arrange this time to get extra with dangerous and unhealthy conditions? There will not even be abduction by CLT. Not even the union was going to find such a lame excuse!

It was undoubtedly too much information for anyone to digest the abducted story. At that point I could give a discount on her messes.

-Catty, isn't it?

She paid little attention.

-That ... that is a dinosaur! - She talked to herself when touching her frowning forehead. - Just take a deep breath, Catty. It's a goddamn dream. The words were in the air for just a second when our eyes met. - You are dreaming! A twelve-day layover for a married break can sometimes drive someone crazy with nonstop calls and knocking one over at the exchange. I need a calming and muscle relaxant.

-Catty. - I called with apparent calm.

-I really need a vacation. Urgent. There is a healed, hot and muscular alien in front of me. I was surprised with that month's work schedule. I should have gone home. Do you want to tell me why I didn't go home? And my mask? Where did I leave my mask? Have you been hearing that people should keep their distance from others because of COVID-19? Is there alcohol gel around here?

-CATTY!

Patience and control. Patience. Patience. I sighed.

Alien healed, tasty and muscular?

Well, speaking the truth, I really started to feel like an alien there without understanding anything she was talking about. Without a doubt, very good for a rescue.

-Lady, if you can just calm down for a moment ... You're safe. Can you understand that?

Catty looked at me with evaluative eyes as if for the first time she saw me there and did not pay any more attention to the immense paralyzed beast and still showing its teeth, breathing hard.

-COVID-19! There is an ordinance from the Ministry of Health talking about foreigners! I shouldn't be around here and playing Star Wars. Social isolation. They haven't found any vaccine for that yet! Are you trying to see if you can catch the damn virus? Are you really trying to kill yourself? This is disrespectful. That's why they close the damn trade!

-C-A-T-T-Y!

-Abduced? she repeated in a low voice and her mouth of inviting lips trembled. - But I couldn't be abducted! Nobody asked. Holy shit! I did not want.

It was without a doubt the most inviting image I could find in space. It wasn't just her body heat. There was the smell. Something about her really moved me.

-Hey, are you okay?

I didn't even know I was going to get into so much trouble because of her. And the craziest ideas that crossed my mind were terribly wrong. The girl swayed unsteadily. This was a rescue for abduction victims. Intimate physical contacts were strictly prohibited by our government guidelines.

Only I burned inside. And, of course, I wasn't going to get into trouble because of a human and answer an interrogation at the Confederation court. No way. Not even!

Shit!

The trembling, parted lips aroused images of hallucinating in my mind. It was a losing battle against my lust and lust. The smell of her blood ... I don't think I said yet that some cold-blooded species enjoyed a lot of blood in the diet as an aperitif. Her blood was an irresistible compulsion for me.

Well, I could perhaps delete some images from the computer that recorded the whole scene there between the two of us. On second thought it didn't seem that serious, did it? Who would find out? The entire crew slept in cryo-sleep. What harm could there be just one kiss?

I had a thing for warm-blooded females.

And the damn fins pricked more. Thankfully, the human couldn't assess the miserable state I was in. The males of my race as adults could very easily camouflage their skin color according to their surroundings. Our skin exhibited an assorted combination of natural colors that varied like the rainbow. And green meant ...
