Slowly she began to pull the tee she picked up earlier over her stomach. Inch by inch she pulled knowing Hale’s eyes were glued to her movements.

“Do you mind if I get rid of this shirt?” her voice a low sexy purr.

“No, it sounds like a good idea.”

She pulled the shirt over her head taking the time to twirl it around in one hand before she casually tossed it aside.

“That’s better, I can feel the wind softly caressing my skin.”

“I’m jealous.”

A soft laugh came from her lips. “I feel so confined, Hale. I think the pants need to go too.”

She unsnapped the button and slowly slid the zipper down while taking in deep breaths of air making her chest move out and pull in.

“You ok over there, big guy?”

“I’m fine.”

“Good.” Placing her hands the waist band of her pants she began to shimmy her hips as the material moved then slowly came down.

“Umm that’s better,” she sighed, her voice was as soft as a feather as the pink thong she was wearing came into view.

“Tori.” Hale sounded choked up as if he was having trouble talking.

“Are you sure you’re good?” She threw him a wicked smile.

“Uhuh.”

She looked up to find him licking his lips as he stared at her. Her fingers seemed to be caught in the material of her pants.

“How can my pants be giving me a problem?”

She turned her back to him and bent over before pushing the pants all the way down. Her rounded cheeks were up in the air with a tempting piece of lace between them.

“Tori.” Her name was pulled from Hale’s lips.

She felt his hands on her, palming her cheeks. The caress sent shivers through her. She kicked the pants off and tried to stop the flow of liquid soaking the scrap of material between her legs.

He slid his hands around to caress her breasts as he rubbed his hard cock over the crack of her ass. The material of his jeans increasing her pleasure. The lips of her pussy contracted as a small moan rattled in her throat.

“I need to be deep inside you, Tori.”

The need in his voice made her shiver more as her sensitized skin caused her breath to catch in her throat as he ran a hand over her. She turned around and began to tug at his shirt.

“Let me.”

He stepped back taking his heat and leaving Tori feeling bereft. His hands made short work of removing his shirt. The rest of his clothes followed until he was standing there naked and proud.

She closed in on him taking his mouth in a deep kiss. “Hale, you ever think of something kinky you wanted to try?”

He shook his head with a slight frown on his face.

“Oh, maybe it’s a bad idea.”

“Tell me, Tori.”

“When I was young there was this girl who told me about making love on a swing. I always wanted to try it but never found anyone I trusted until I met you.”

He reached out and took her hands leading her to the swing. “What do we have to do?”

“I don’t know. You have to stand on the swing with your feet braced apart and I have to wrap my legs and arms around you. Then you swing.” She lowered her head not meeting his eyes.

Hale reached out placing a hand under her chin and lifting her head. When she was looking at him he lowered his head taking her mouth in a deep kiss. She opened her mouth for him encouraging him to go deeper.

He pulled her closer sliding a hand down her back increasing her shivers. Breaking the kiss he dipped his head and took the hard peak of one breast into his mouth sucking. His name came out as a hiss of need as she stroked him where ever her hands could reach.

He wrapped his hands around her and lifted her. “I love the feel of you in my arms, Tori. I have to be deep in you, love.”

“Take me.”

He positioned her lower body so that the head of his cock was rubbing against her slit.

“Hale.” He pushed in deep making her scream.

“Wrap your legs and arms around me, Tori.”

She wrapped them around tight as Hale reached for the chains of the swing. He placed one foot on the swing causing Tori’s head to move as pleasure speared deep inside her. Using the chains he pulled himself up. The swing moved and she held tighter feeling tingles along her spine from the additional pleasure the movement caused.

“Hale.”

“Yes, baby?” He bent just a little and used his thighs to start the swing moving.

Anything she tried to say came out in a garble of sound as her body convulsed in an orgasm. He swung higher as she licked him and worked herself against him. “So damn good,” she managed to say against his throat.

Hale’s rough chuckle rumbled. His beast was close to the surface.

“Tori, I feel like I can touch your soul.” He pumped deeper as the swing went higher.

“Do you trust me, Tori?”

“Yes.” He pumped deeper taking them higher.

She felt him bottom out in her as her body went over the edge again. Hale gave a deep shout as she felt him kick deep in her before he began to fill her with his essence.

The swing went higher in the air. She felt an arm come around her waist catching her body that was quickly losing its hold on him, he took her higher than she believed possible. She screamed as her body shook uncontrollably with the orgasm taking over her.

He left the swing on shaky legs. Dropping to the ground he made sure he was on the bottom.

“Tori, do you have any other kinky fantasies you want to try?”

Chapter Sixteen

She stretched, feeling sore in all the right places. Her lips curved in a secret smile. How could her life change so much in a few days? She stretched out her hand only to find the bed empty. Opening her eyes she sat up looking for Hale. A sense of disappointment hit her. She already missed him. Shaking her head she got up, grabbed a robe and went in search of him.

She didn’t have to go far. He was sitting in the outer room with his hands in his head.

“Hale, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, mate.”

“I always sit with my head in my hands when nothing is wrong too.” She walked over to him and placed a kiss on the top of his head before sitting next to him.

“What’s really wrong?”

“I woke this morning and you were lying there so trusting.” He turned to look at her.

“I trust you, Hale.”

“I know. I began to wonder if you should. What right do I have to put your life in more danger? Even as I thought that, the desire to mark you, make you mine permanently was riding me hard.”

“This marking thing, is it like marriage?”

“No and yes. It is permanent, we would always be connected as one.”

“That seems a little extreme don’t you think?”

“No, it is our way. There are many species spread throughout the galaxy that mate for life.”

“What happens if I die?”

“Tori you will not die.”

“Humor me. What happens to you if I die? Do you find another forever mate?”

“I die. There will be no reason to stay here or anywhere if you are no longer with me. If we have children then I will raise them, after that…” He shrugged his shoulders.

“Then I think mating is not an option I would not want to put your life at risk.”

“You misunderstand, Tori. From the minute I saw you standing behind that desk with a look of cautious hope in your eyes I knew that you were my mate. From that point on, my life became one with yours whether you agree to become my mate or not.”

“Hale, you need more than that to become a forever couple. You have to love me and I have to return that love.”

“Do you love me, Tori?”

“You can’t ask me that, Hale. We haven’t known each other long enough. Heck, you’re supposed to be the one scared of commitment.”

“Who made that rule?’

“I don’t know, I just know that men who are young are usually scared.”

“I’m not young.”

“Stop. I don’t want to know how old you are.”

He reached out and caressed the side of her face. “Who’s afraid of commitment?”

She got up without replying and grabbed a change of clothes from the bedroom before entering the bathroom.

He may be an alien, but that doesn’t give him the right to think he knows everything. Her inner voice fumed and paced back and forth across her mind.

“I agree,” she said aloud to make herself feel better. How dare he think she was afraid of commitment?

She worked hard on her business, even when she knew it was going to go up in flames. Hadn’t she committed to planning Lorali and Sergey’s wedding even though she should be far away by now. She was committed to her family. Then her parents died one after the other leaving her alone.

What did commitment get you? Loneliness. Everyone she ever loved left her. What would make her think he would be any different?

Damn, she was afraid of commitment. Sighing she finished bathing.

The room was empty when entered it. How was she going to tell him he was right without making a declaration of commitment? She picked out a nice dress hoping it would help to bolster her self-confidence.

“Hale?” She called out his name as she walked down the stairs.

“In the game room.”

She walked in to find him seated on a loveseat facing a huge screen with a light-weight head set on.

“What are you doing?”

“Playing a new version of a video game I am thinking of releasing. It is in beta testing right now.”

She walked over to take a seat next to him. The screen was flashing with images that were so life-like she had to look twice to make sure it wasn’t a movie.

“Are you controlling the Avatar with your mind?”

“Yes. That’s why it is still in the beta testing phase. After I’m sure all the plot points interact appropriately, and the game is seamless then I will convert it over to a controller.”

“Hale, I am impressed. I don’t play often, but I have never seen anything like this.”

“Thanks.” He gave her a swift smile. “Are you hungry?”

“No. I think I am still full from the late night dinner we ate.”

He gave her a wicked smile. “I thought I managed to burn all those calories off.”

She blushed. What was she going to do with him? The longer she was around him the more addictive he became.

“Would you like to visit my planet?”

The sudden knot in her throat had her tensing up. Did he mean leaving the earth, as in taking a space ship?

“As in space: the final frontier?”

“Something like that.” He laughed causing her to smile and her heart to race. “Except we will do it with these.” He showed her another Virtual Reality headset.

She took a deep breath calming down her crazy heartbeat. A part of her wanted to leave the planet with him, to never look back. The thought of making the choice to be with him forever made her feel free in a way she never felt. She kicked that thought away before she nodded her head.

“I would like to visit your world. Will that headset work for me?”

“It will work.”

“How? What I mean is I don’t have any special mental ability.”

“I believe this head set would work for at least thirty percent of the population. Humans are developing the ability to use more of their brain without realizing.”

“Then why won’t it work for everyone?”

“My theory is because most will deny the ability to reach deeper into who they are. If you want an official or scientific reason you will need to talk to Nicholas or Dante.”

“Ok. Beam me up, Scotty.” He flashed a smile at her as he adjusted the head set on her.

“There’s a couple of things you need to know first. Although this is A VR game we are going to be using a different aspect of it. Your body will stay here, but everything else will walk through the connection I establish. If you were to die there you would die. No reboot no coming back to fight another day.”

“Am I or my brothers impossible? Tori believe me, there is a plane that can be walked on that has nothing to do with what we call physical reality. You will be in memories, but those memories will be playing out as if they are happening because they are. There is no need to be scared. You simply need to understand if I say no it’s for a reason.”

“Can all of you do this?”

“No just a few select and some that have been chosen. I was chosen and that’s all I can say. Do you still wish to go?”

She nodded her head, more now than ever she wanted to unravel the puzzle that was Hale.

“It will take a few minutes to connect with the mental energy you are giving out.”

Tori closed her eyes and waited for the headset to link up with her. Hale was giving her a new insight into her world. She hadn’t had this much fun in a long time her inner voice whispered. She agreed with herself, she didn’t want to lose it or Hale.

She opened her eyes to a blank screen. A wave of despair covered her when she realized all she could see was black. She must not be one of those humans who could look within themselves.

“Hale.” Her voice sounded sad.

“Stay still, Tori. I am coming for you.”

“What?” The voice echoed around her mind never touching her ears. It was Hale’s voice without the richness she had become used to. This voice left her cold adding to the coldness taking root inside of her.

“Stay quiet.”

She zipped her lips. What was happening? Not only couldn’t she see the screen before her she couldn’t see the room. If she didn’t know better she would think that she suddenly lost the use of her eyes. The bright light cutting through the darkness had her squinting and trying to shield her eyes.

“Do you see my hand, Tori?”

The light distracted her from trying to use her eyes making all of her other senses hyper aware. That was when she realized she wasn’t hearing Hale with her ears. He was talking directly into her mind.

“Tori, focus this is important. Do you see my hand?”

“Yes,” she stuttered a little.

“Take it and hang on tight. Don’t let go, no matter what happens.”

She moved closer to his hand. The terrain was rocky and finding a stable spot to place her feet was rare. She spent what felt like hours crossing little patches at a time. He never moved his hand, never wavered. She was close enough. She reached up brushing his fingertips and flinched as a sensation of coldness moved through her body before she was attacked.
