Alien Salvation

erupting in spasms as he poured his ecstasy down her throat. Bacoj
shouted, his rhythm lost in desperate jerks as he emptied his
juices into her tightest passage.
    The three bucked in mindless glory, all
thought erased under the sway of consuming rapture. They writhed
together until the last sweet throbs of elation left their loins,
and they wilted like flowers battered by a summer
thunderstorm.
    Vax joined the group on the bed,
twining his legs in Japohn’s as he lay behind the Nobek. They lay
in a heap of tangled limbs, Bacoj, Lindsey and Japohn gasping in
the aftermath of spent passion.

    Once she’d caught her breath, Lindsey
took advantage of the relaxed attitudes of the aliens basking in
the afterglow. She kept her tone as casual as possible to avoid
arousing suspicion.
    “I’m curious. What happens to the
Empress’ family if they’re found?”
    Bacoj stretched then curled around her
again. “Take to Kalquor. Empress worry for family.”
    Lindsey hated to hear Jessica was
concerned over them. Her little sister had always taken on more
responsibility than she needed to. And now a mother besides! It
gave Lindsey a warm feeling to have a niece bearing her middle
name. How sweet of Jessica to have honored her that way and to have
given her son Aaron’s middle name too.
    Bacoj stroked her hair, and Lindsey
couldn’t help but snuggle against his warmth. She absolutely loved
sharing her body with men, with these three at any rate. “But what
happens to them? Obviously they’ll want to be close to her, but
what kind of work is there for Earthers to do on your
planet?”
    Vax propped himself up on Japohn’s
meaty shoulder so he could see her on the other side of his much
larger clanmate. “Imperial mother and father no require work.
Imperial Clan care for all needs.”
    Bacoj added, “Empress’ sister many
clans for choose. No her need for work. Join clan with high
rank.”
    Japohn grinned at her, the expression
softening his fierce visage. “No like Bacoj’s clan. We young. No
impress royal sister.”
    Lindsey couldn’t help but smile back.
“I’m sure she’d like you fine.”
    Bacoj shrugged. “No want royal sister
Lindsey. Like this Lindsey.” He rubbed his already recovering
masculinity against her thigh to show her just how much he liked
her. She couldn’t help but laugh at the naughty gleam in his
eyes.
    Japohn’s brow creased, his suspicious
nature showing again. “Odd for you, Empress sister same
name.”
    “Not really.” Lindsey kept her voice
casual, determined they wouldn’t learn her identity yet. She needed
more time to be sure she could trust the alien race. “Lindsey is a
common name. I read somewhere that it was in the top ten of female
names among English-speaking zones for the last few
decades.”
    Vax smiled sweetly, his face
sympathetically understanding. “Vax common Kalquor name. Know five
Vax where I grow.”
    Japohn patted Vax’s good arm, glancing
at his Imdiko with affection that sat strangely on his wary face.
“Like this Lindsey. Like this Vax.”
    Before either could respond to the
Nobek, shouts sounded from outside the shuttle. In an instant, all
three Kalquorians were on their feet, pulling on their formsuits.
Even Vax with his injured arm was dressed faster than her eyes
could follow.
    “Who is it? Are we being attacked?” she
asked, reaching for her clothes.
    There was no answer. She was talking to
an empty room.

    After pulling her clothes on, Lindsey
hurried into the main cabin of the shuttle where the Kalquorians
were gathered. She gaped. The walls and floor of the ship were
missing. A crowd of about two dozen Earthers, their expressions
hostile, stood on the beach, surrounding them on either side. All
were armed with guns and wielded baseball bats.
    After a horrified moment, Lindsey
realized the walls and floor were transmitting a vid image of what
was going on outside the shuttle. There was still a solid metal
surface between her and the unfriendly
