LANTA COULDN’T THINK clearly and the words she’d wanted to say were caught in her throat. She tried to thank Melis for braving space pirate territory to bring her here, but when she worked her jaws up and down and moved her lips, an incoherent sound came out. Even the thank you she wanted to say didn’t seem enough.
Dazed and confused, she let Melis lead her by the hand, as he followed Urqen to one of the empty chairs. Melis had to gently push on her shoulder to get her to sit down. Lanta tried to pay attention as Urqen went over the controls and explained what each button and knob did, but she couldn’t concentrate over the thundering of her heart.
“I have it set up to view Earth. Do you understand how to work the controls?” Urqen asked.
Lanta stared at Urqen blankly. No. She hadn’t absorbed any of what he said. She was too busy freaking out. She was actually standing in a government run observatory.
The private sector, for fee observatories didn’t have the funds to buy a telescope that could view planets lightyears out of their solar system. She’d only heard government facilities had the ability to view Earth as well as use human satellites to see the surface.
Her body trembled. Tears were at the brim of her eyelids. If this was all true...she could imagine the gravity of it. This was phenomenal. Unheard of for someone like her. She’d never dreamed she’d ever visit such a facility and knew she would never get this opportunity again.
“I...um...well...”
Melis smiled warmly. “We have it, Urqen. If we have any questions, I’ll contact you.”
“Very well. I’ll be across the room finishing my work for the evening.” Urqen returned Melis’s smile and extended it to Lanta. “I hope you find the answers you’re looking for.”
Lanta’s mouth kept opening and closing with no words coming out, but she couldn’t help it.
Before Urqen left, he pulled over a second chair for Melis. Lanta was glad Melis had been paying attention because when he began flicking switches and turning knobs, she hadn’t a clue what he was doing.
“Ready?” Melis asked, his hand paused on a switch.
Lanta’s words stuck in her throat and she couldn’t push them out. Melis chuckled. “Since you’ve lost the ability to talk, just indicate your answer with your head.” Lanta nodded and Melis flicked the switch.
The blurry monitor began to focus. Earth. It was a mostly blue planet. What she saw on the screen resembled the countless pictures she had saved in her comlink.
Because there weren’t any other inhabitable planets in their solar system, humans believed they were alone in the universe. They were untouched—mostly—by off-world influences and they hadn’t yet mastered interstellar travel. They didn’t yet have warp travel and were only in the infant stages of space travel. Because of that the airspace surrounding Earth was empty. There wasn’t a space docking station, or vessels traveling to or from the planet. It looked lonely.
“One second. Let me connect to the satellite and zoom in.” A few minutes later a white structure came into view.
“What’s that?” she asked, finally able to speak.
“I asked Urqen to pre-program some major coordinates to give us starting points to observe.” Melis tapped the screen and the coordinates and name displayed at the bottom. “It’s called The White House and located in Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America.”
Lanta touched her comlink and typed in the information Melis provided. It didn’t take long for the output to display above her comlink. “The White House is the official residence and workplace of the President of the United States of America.”
Melis did something and the screen panned out to reveal a tall black gate with people standing outside and...moving.
Moving!
“Wait. Is this in real time? This can’t be real time.” Lanta scooted to the edge of her seat and pressed her face closer to the screen. “Can it? I mean, I’ve heard the technology in these facilities are like no other. But I never really believed it. How can we view a planet some many light years away in real time?” By the time she finished talking, she was breathing so hard she struggled to catch her breath.
Melis still had that cute smile on his face. “Yes.”
Lanta turned back to the screen. There were people—humans—leaning against the fence while other people faced them with raised devices pointed in their direction.
“Yes. What?” she spoke slowly. She wanted to mentally prepare herself for what she expected the answer to be.
“No. This isn’t real time.”
She expected it, but her heart still sank. “I guess it really shouldn’t matter if this footage is a few years old. At least I can actually see them moving around and interacting with each other. It’s one hundred times better than a picture any day.”
“What you’re watching happened yesterday.”
The words slowly sank in. Yesterday. Lanta gasped. “Y-yesterday?” She stared at the screen.
“Here. Let’s close this.” Melis gently touched the underside of her chin with his finger and brought it up. “That’s better. Now, let’s pull up the pre-programmed coordinates for Atlanta, Georgia, America.” He typed as he spoke. “And here we are.”
The screen came into focus and Lanta’s mouth dropped open again. There were structures that snaked every which way, under and over each other. She looked closer. Some kind of contraptions moved fast on them. She didn’t understand what they were or what they did but she couldn’t take her eyes off the screen.
Then it came to her. She recognized the scene from one of the stock photos. “Melis. This is called a ‘highway’ or ‘interstate’. This is how they travel over short distances to get to work, school or places of entertainment.” She pointed at one of the fast-moving objects. “That’s called a car.”
The day was bright and sunny, so she could see everything clearly. Even a set of cars off to one side of one of the roadways. “That must be an accident.” She hadn’t seen one of those before, but she’d read about them. “They have a lot of accidents because they don’t have an A.I. driving system in place.”
Melis shuddered. “That sounds absolutely terrifying.”
Lanta nodded. “My mom had a scar on her forehead. She said another driver had run a traffic light and hit her. They have something called ‘air bags’ in the cars that inflate and stop the occupants from being thrown out. But hers didn’t work and her head hit the glass window.”
“Ouch.”
“If I give you an address can you find it?”
“I don’t think this works that way. We would need coordinates.”
Lanta slumped again. She’d taken a picture of her mother’s driver license, one of the items her mother had in her possession when she’d been abducted from Earth and the only item of hers that Lanta still had to this day. Lanta never imagined she would one day be able to look up the address to see if her father still lived in the same home, but she’d thought...hoped.
“But let’s try anyway,” he said.
* * *
“DOES THIS FANCY TRANSPORTER have an autopilot?” Lanta asked.
Her emotions still ran high. They’d spent countless hours viewing different places on Earth, from the pyramids in Egypt to watching what appeared to be an outdoor concert. They were even able to find the house her mother used to live in. There’d been overgrown foliage surrounding it and vines growing up the sides. She didn’t think her father still lived there anymore.
“Of course. Why?” Melis didn’t take his eyes off the view window.
Lanta unhooked her harness.
“What are you doing?”
She was on her knees in front of him, wedged in the tight space between him and the helm. “I just wanted to make sure before I started this. I didn’t want you to kill us while I thanked you properly.”
She undid the flap in the front of his clothes.
“Lanta, you don’t have to thank me. Not with sex.”
She pulled out his already hard cocks and licked her lips. “But I want to.”
His cocks weren’t much different than a human male’s. She’d studied pictures of both. Both species had a similar shape. Melis didn’t have the engorged part on the tip of his penises that humans referred to as a head. His smaller cock, his ionwabo, didn’t have a slit at the top. It was for pleasure only. The larger one, his ngumniki, was the only one that could deliver his seed.
She licked the tips of both. Melis hissed. Then she licked them again. And again. Until spit overtook her mouth. She pressed her lips over the one for pleasure, sucking the smaller cock entirely into her mouth. Melis’s hands were on her head, massaging her scalp. Murmurings she couldn’t understand were on his lips.
“Lanta,” he growled.
The way he said her name. It gave her power. Made her feel strong. She was the one on her knees, but the Alpha she pleasured was at her mercy.
Lanta sucked him harder, using her hand to grip the larger cock. It pulsated under her palm. She pumped her mouth and hand in unison, feeling him grow within both. Melis’s claws extended and scraped against her scalp. Her pussy engorged with need. Melis groaned and begged.
What did he beg for?
She didn’t rightly know until she placed her mouth over his larger cock.
“Yes, yes, please, yes,” he said with a sigh as he curled his tail around her neck.
She took him into her mouth, stretching her lips and jaws over him. Melis pushed her head down farther, making her take more, even when she’d thought she’d taken all she could. He used her hair, guiding her up and down the length of him. She’d never done this act before. Had never thought to feel pleasure from having his cock in her mouth, but the swelling in her pussy said otherwise.
Melis gripped her head, pulling her mouth from him and lifted her to stand. He stripped her suit off and helped her to position over him, then guided her to sit on his full length.
Lanta cried out as he rammed his hips upward, meeting her butt with his legs, forcing her to take his fullness to the hilt. His small cock thrust against her clit. She cried out again when he repeated the move. Her cries reverberated off the transporter walls. The sounds the slickness their bodies made were like music to her ears.
His thrusts were powerful and fast. Lanta’s fingers gripped his shoulders, holding on as he pounded into her. With a snarl Melis leaned forward, taking her nipple in his mouth. His licks turned into sucks, then finally to nibbling. His sharp teeth giving the right amount of pain and pleasure.
“Yes, Melis!” her stomach tensed; pleasure built. She undulated her hips, eliciting a growl of pleasure from him.
His arm tightened around her waist and he lifted her, only to reposition her on the floor on her hands and knees. Melis positioned between her legs and with his arms under her thighs, lifted her knees from the floor. She didn’t have time to wonder what he planned. His face was between her butt cheeks and tongue on her ass before she could ask.
Lanta threw her head back as a cry burst from her. His tongue licked and teased the place she’d never imagined a tongue on. The roughness of it sent pleasure firing through her. Lanta’s murmurings and cries were just as loud as Melis’s lustful groans. He licked her with fervor, pinning her to him so she couldn’t move.
“Oh, God, Melis,” she whimpered.
Melis’s tongue pressed against her opening. Instinct made her tighten against him, denying him access. Melis was persistent. His tongue continued probing and probing, breaking down her defenses. When he breached her the scream she let out ricocheted off the walls. An orgasm barreled through her. She shook uncontrollably as her cum dripped down her thighs.
As she convulsed Melis lowered her knees to the floor. She could barely stay upright. Exhaustion overwhelmed her. Melis’s fingers dipped into her pussy. Lanta let out a satisfied moan. That felt good, but she needed something more. Melis pulled his fingers from her and wiped them across her ass, lubricating her.
Is he planning to...?
A finger delved inside her ass and she caught her breath. He left it inside her, still and unmoving.
“Can I have you here?”
The sound of his voice, coupled with where his finger was made her shudder with delight. Performing a sexual act the Oncuns wouldn’t approve of made her feel bad and oh, so wicked. Lanta groaned out her answer.
His finger penetrated her deeper and her eyes rolled up.
“Relax, my Lanta.”
How could she relax when it felt so good? Another orgasm was lapping at her senses and her stomach was in a knot. But even so, Lanta took steadying breaths trying to do as he asked. As she did, Melis’s finger moved within her and his larger cock pushed into her pussy.
“This feels so good,” she breathed out.
Melis’s strokes were deep and slow. She rocked back on him, taking him completely. He pulled his finger from her ass and pressed his small cock against her. Lanta wanted him. She wanted this. She pushed back on him until he was inside of her.
She lifted her shoulders off the floor. “Oh, God!”
Melis pushed on her shoulder blades with a firm hand, pressing her chest to the floor. His cocks breached both openings over and over again. His thrusts became deeper and harder. Lanta accepted everything he had to give her, greedily. His legs beat against the back of her thighs. The noise grew louder as their bodies slickened with sweat.
The storm building within her finally shattered. Lanta screamed, calling out his name. Melis’s release wasn’t far behind.
