I started to follow the spacemen when the big guy grabbed me from behind to stop me.
“Woman, are you mad? Do not go after them.” My ears hum again, and I can sense the Goddess, my gut telling me to take one of the handheld devices.
“I need to grab one of their power things,” I said.
“I am trying to keep you safe.” He said, defeated, like he had no choice.
“My name is Terrek.” He growled low and soft near my ear. “
Damn, this guy makes me tingle in the best ways.
“Terrek,” I repeated to taste his name aloud.
I heard him moan when he heard me say his name. That sound alone is distracting in a delicious way.
“Yes, Terrek and we are bonded. I felt it the moment I saw you,” he insisted.
“My duty and honor are to keep you safe and loved,” Terrek said, his smoldering eyes locked onto mine.
“Keep me safe and loved?” Whoa, this was too much!
I go where you go. If you get me killed, so be it. We are bound,» Terrek explained.
“What kind of nonsense are you going on about?” I asked when he placed his hand on my mouth again.
He pulled me behind another tree as the two tiny guys ran past us, laughing and running into the woods. I licked at his annoying hand and was surprised at the sensation of butterflies that started fluttering. He removed his hand slowly. Candy was so still and close to my feet. I slowly made my way towards the hovering spaceship. Terrek was not amused. I felt his fear and frustration towards me.
Well, I was starting to think this all might actually be real. Either way, the next step is to get me a strange, remote thing. Maybe I can find a lightsaber mode. I grabbed my bag and looked back at my terrified boys.
“You coming?” I asked with a shoulder shrug and started walking toward the spaceship.
“I’ll be damned. The spacemen are having a fish fry.” I whispered as I watched the aliens preparing a cookout. There was a ramp that was extended to the ground from the ship. Little soldiers had an outdoor setup. I was not about to let us get stranded on this planet. I stepped towards the ship when Terrek grabbed my hips and pulled me back further into the trees.
“Woman! They are small, but you underestimate them. They carry magic in their hands and wield power like little Gods.”
“Fine, let’s go after the two that took off into the woods.”
I found the two men skinny dipping in the pond. How they could frolic in the freezing water was beyond me. I went to their stack of clothes, and I took as many gadgets as possible off the uniforms. The little men seemed intoxicated and enjoying each other›s company. I got away with my haul quickly, but Terrek was very stressed. I took my stolen goods and laid them out before me as we hid behind a big tree.
“Let me see if this is the remote laser thing that grabbed the fish.” I held it in my hands and read the buttons.
“This is too easy,” I said with amazement.
The words were alien symbols, but somehow, I knew what was said. The blue button was a capture beam. The red button was kill eliminate beam. The green button was a disabled or unconscious beam. There was a reset switch and a fingerprint reader.
“See, Terrek, no magic here. You just need to be able to read the directions.”
“Shit, my nerves are kicking in,” I mumbled as I decided if I should hit the reset switch and placed my thumb on the reader.
I realized this was not an elaborate dream. I felt like this was all real. I was not on Earth; I was with an alien male and a furry creature. This planet was doomed, having been harvested. A Goddess had picked me of all people. How was this strange device supposed to help me, help us?
I heard that humming again, and my body just pressed the reset button. I could feel the Goddess’s influence inside me, making me act.
My thumb felt a zap, and then the little remote went quiet. Terrek jumped back, his black eyes terrified as I played with my new toy. I looked at him, His emotions swamping mine.
“It’s okay, Terrek. I won’t hurt you.” He looked at me like I had grown another head.
“I don’t want you to hurt yourself.” He whispered, still very uncomfortable being out with the spacemen so close in the open.
