Chapter 4

Lt. Axon Voan

I still couldn’t believe the Captain told the President the Compiers would be after their human females. Even though it was very likely to be true, it was also a little too close to what our own race did.

Then, to make matters worse, I joined Jennifer in her living quarters, and I found myself struggling to restrain myself. We were talking and getting closer by the minute, a little too close with no one else around to interfere. My need for her increased rapidly.

I wanted her the moment I saw her, but it has since become too much. I craved to touch her, to kiss her lips, and so badly to be inside of her, t0 feel her come apart underneath me as I took her to the deepest parts of the galaxy. Despite these feelings though, I swore to myself I would not take her unless she invited me to do so.

Even then, it would be too dangerous. Humans would then know we were capable of mating with them, and it would create more problems for both sides.

She tested me to my limits all night. From her shower to her curve fitting clothes, then cooking for me, and her interest and conversation. I wanted to walk in and join her so badly, to see her naked skin and lick her so sensuously and so slowly that she’d be begging me to take her.

I could not though, the enemy could enter Earth’s atmosphere at any moment, and I must not be distracted.

When she finally went to sleep, I let my lack of judgement get the best of me, as I pushed the door open just a little to watch her sleep. I was greatly tempted to get under the covers and lay beside her, wrapping my body around hers. I kept telling myself I was only checking in on her, as she did have windows inside her room after all.

I took one last look at her before resuming my post by the large windows in the living room, closing my eyes with a sigh.

“This,” I muttered to myself. “Is probably the hardest mission I’ve ever had.”

The rays of light in the morning came pouring in from the windows, turning the walls into a light-yellow shade. I was ready to take her back to her building and be free of these temptations.

“Thank you, Axon, for watching me. I really appreciate it,” she said, her voice sounding sweet as she walked me to the roof of her building where the small ship was waiting.

“It was my honor to watch you,” I said with a tease, bowing my head. She looked at me with wide blue eyes, gulping hard, as she knew what I was referring to.

As we got to the top of the roof, the door to the small ship opened, and one of our warriors stepped out, putting a closed fist in front of his chest in salute. I nodded before turning to face Jennifer fully, unable to contain the hint of sadness in my eyes at the thought of our parting.

“I shall go now and see the Captain. He will be having another meeting with your leader in a couple of hours,” I informed her.

“Yes, in the afternoon,” she confirmed, nodding.

“Until then, Jennifer,” I said, giving her a wink before walking towards the ship. Once the door closed, I could see Jennifer as she walked back inside the building, relieved to finally have her out of my sight.

I immediately went to my den and undressed, quickly using the ship’s washroom, and changing my clothes. Once I felt like Jennifer’s scent was off me, I reported to Captain Weko in the main hall.

“Captain, I have returned. Did anything happen while I was gone?” I asked.

“Lieutenant, how was your watch?” he asked.

“It was without incident. Working with the Earth’s military was better than I thought. They are efficient and able to follow orders completely, and they kept a good watch. I think they’ll be able to match up against the Compiers once they understand them more.” The Captain nodded, agreeing with my observation.

“Yes, I agree. I think they need to understand what the Compiers look like,” the Captain mused. “Since we look more human-like, I think it helps with their acceptance of us, but the Compiers are more reptilian creatures. This could cause a greater fear in the humans’ hearts. But with a description beforehand, it will be less of a surprise when they come up against them,” the Captain explained.

“That is a good point, Captain,” I replied. “I forget we’re the only intelligent life they’ve encountered, and how fearsome the Compiers could look to humans.” I said.

“Correct, we have grown accustomed to these other races. I will inform Earth’s leaders today in our meeting,” the Captain said.

“I may be mistaken, but I think we have an image of the Compiers in the ship’s file. Perhaps it would be better to show them?” I suggested. I was already heading off to the communications’ bay after this, so I might as well get it.

“Good idea, Lt. Voan, but how will you transmit the image over to them?” Captain Weko asked.

“I’ll send Jennifer Rose a message, and help her decode the patterns for image transferring. I’m sure she’ll be able to do it,” I answered confidently.

“Yes, she is quite intelligent,” he said.
