Chapter 6

Lt. Axon Voan

I had a big problem. I cared for her deeply.

I sampled the sweet nectar of Jennifer, and I didn’t know if I would be able to let her go.

Like I said, it was a big problem.

Why did I have to make things so complicated? Why didn’t I just stick to the mission and be done with it?

As the Earth’s sun rose up, it shined brightly through the window, hitting the bed and lighting up Jennifer’s sleeping face. She was so beautiful, delicate, and petite. I didn’t want to wake her, I only wanted to protect her, and wake up with her in my bed on my planet.

I shook my head vigorously. These thoughts were going to get me in trouble.

“Good morning, my alien warrior,” Jennifer murmured. She opened her eyes and sighed, smiling at me. She reached her arms up above her head and stretched her toes out toward the edge of the bed.

“Good morning, my human female,” I teased back. “It is almost time for you to check in at your building,” I said, and she groaned in protest, her bottom lip jutting out in a pout.

“No,” she said, shaking her head adamantly. “I don’t want to leave this bed. I want to lie here with you,” she moved into a fetal position next to my body, curling up like a cat.

“I want to as well, Jennifer, but we have responsibilities to attend to,” I told her, sighing. “The Captain expects me back,” I said, kissing her cheek. She moved her face closer and pushed her lips out for a kiss, to which I did not disappoint. We would never leave this bed at this rate, so I jumped up out of bed and got dressed, and she sighed.

“I suppose if we have to,” she said grudgingly.

“Yes, we have to,” I nodded.

“Did you mean what you said last night?” she asked, wrapping the sheet around her as she got up from the bed.

“Which one?” I asked, tilting my head.

“You said you care for me deeply,” she murmured, blushing brightly, and I smiled at her and nodded.

“Yes, I meant it. I care for you very much, Jennifer,” I told her.

“Then what do we do about this?” she asked. “Can we do anything?”

“There is nothing we can do,” I said morosely. “We have to keep what we did a secret. You will get in trouble with your humans, and I will get in trouble with the Captain if this leaks out. It is unprofessional and not worth the risk, and I don’t want you to get into any sort of trouble because of me. It must stay a secret. Promise?”

“I promise,” she sighed, her shoulders dropping. “I’ll keep it a secret. But you must promise not to leave until tomorrow. We still have tonight together, yes?”

“Yes, I can stay one more night only,” I said with a smile, already looking forward to being with her again. She smiled back at me, and then went inside the bathroom to get ready for work. I continued to get dressed as well, and we left for another day of discussions.

As the meetings began, the humans continued to ask a lot of questions. They informed us of their gathered forces located to defend the city. The description of their tanks and guns and positioning pleased the Captain greatly. He wanted to be sure humans were well-prepared before we left, and this eased his tension.

Meanwhile, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I did with Jennifer. I kept replaying it over and over in my mind, and it was distracting me from the conversations.

I wished there was a secret space in this building for us to meet so I could kiss her again. The best I could do was to keep giving her looks throughout the day, which she reciprocated in kind, and only the two of us could understand.

As the day went on, I kept thinking, how was I going to live without her once I returned home? I mean I could barely even get through these last few hours without her in my arms.

Finally, the meetings had come to an end, and the Captain and President exchanged their final goodbyes one last time. I continued to escort Jennifer out of the building, feeling extremely grateful and happy I would get to be with her one more time.

As soon as the door closed behind us, Jennifer jumped on me, her arms and legs wrapping around me like a snake.

“I wanted to do this all day,” she said, before placing a million kisses on my chest and neck.

“I have wanted to kiss you so badly,” I told her.
