Page 22 of Alien Abduction for Beginners
"No, it's not programmed to your biosignature yet. The captain can do that later, but we don't have time. Come on. I won't hurt you."
Strangely enough, that hadn't been my worry. That scared me a little. I should have been afraid of him, of all three aliens, but I wasn't. I just didn't want to be pressed against him, feeling all those muscles...
Or maybe I did want to. But I shouldn't. It was a bad idea.
With a sigh, I stepped into the elevator, pointedly turning my back to Matar. I left a few inches between us, but sighed again when I realised the column doors couldn't close like that. I shuffled back, careful to avoid touching him, but he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me against his chest.
The doors slid close and with them, any chance of getting out of his embrace. His hands were tight on my hips, holding me in place. His chest was hard against me while something even harder pressed into my lower back. Heat shot into my core, making me just as aroused as he was. Fuck. This wasn't happening. I couldn't be horny.
I wriggled against him, but he didn't let go of me. No, he groaned, clearly pleased I'd rubbed his cock. Unintentionally. Totally unintentionally.
Luckily, the door opened again, revealing an unfamiliar corridor. I hadn't even felt the elevator moving, but to be honest, I had been a little distracted by Matar's erection. Did he have one or two cocks? I knew Xil had two but I couldn't remember if Matar had mentioned how many he had. I snorted. What a strange world in which a girl would have to find out how many dicks her partner had.
Matar reluctantly let me go and I jumped forward, putting several feet of space between us. It was safer that way.
"Come, this way." He pushed past me, not trying to touch me. I was both relieved and disappointed. I hurried after him until we got to two massive double doors, looking much thicker than any I'd seen before. Matar typed something into his wrist communicator and the doors slid open. A blast of warm, smelly air hit me at the same time as my ears were assaulted by the noise of a rocket launch. Well, not quite as loud, but it almost made me want to cover my ears.
"One moment, I thought he'd switched them off," Matar muttered and continued pressing buttons. I took the time to peek into the room. Lots of pipes, wires, lights, and cables surrounded six large columns similar to the one the elevator had been housed in. In the centre of the circular room was a glass ball filled with a flickering green flame. I had no idea what any of it was, but it didn't need a genius to figure out this was the engine room.
With a hiss, the noise stopped, leaving only blissful silence.
"Ten minutes," he announced. "Then I have to turn them on again."
I had no idea why he'd even turned them off. I hadn't asked him to show me the engines. I wasn't good with electronics even on Earth and I bet these machines were a lot more advanced than anything I'd find back home, even on the spaceport. I'd never been inside a human-made spaceship, but I doubted it was anything like this one.
Matar put a hand on the small of my back, gently pushing me into the room. I let him, revelling at how good his touch felt. I became aware of the heat between my legs once more. What was this alien doing to me?
When we got to the green flame, the metal floor gave way to a grate, revealing the room beneath us. And down there stood Havel and Xil, looking up with grins on their faces.
"What's going on?" I asked Matar, but he didn't reply. His hand was still on my back. I should've stepped back from him, but my legs didn't move.
Something nudged my leg. I looked down only to find his tail possessively curling around my knee.
"Your tail is touching me," I whispered.
"So it is."
"Why is it doing that?"
"Sometimes it's hard to control it. Many, many generations ago, all Kardarians had tails. They were like an extra limb and we could use them as such. Now, only some of us are still born with tails and those who do have lost the ability to fully control their tails. With some practice, it's possible to get rudimentary control, but when I don't concentrate on it, it sometimes takes on a life of its own."
A sentient tail? I had a hard time believing that. Maybe he simply wanted an excuse to touch me.
I didn't get a chance to interrogate him further. Beneath us, Xil and Havel opened their mouths and began to howl in unison. It sounded like they were in agony. Were they being attacked? Their howls turned louder and louder, tearing at my heartstrings.
"Help them!" I shouted at Matar, panic freezing my mind and body.
"You want me to join them?"
He didn't sound worried at all. Just confused.
"Do something!" I cried, unable to take their pained yowling much longer.
In an instant, his hands were on my hips again and he spun me around. Before I knew what was happening, his lips were on mine.
Havel
"It's working!" I shouted jubilantly, breaking the song.
