“I’m not kidding. Call it the apartment warming gift I never sent you. So what gives? You seemed excited and terrified at the same time. Did you have another dream?”

“Not exactly.” The excited part was because of the sexy, massive alpha beast who’d protected me. Who’d saved me. He’d swooped in like the perfect hero, although I could swear the dude had an ulterior motive.

“O-kay. Do you want me to provide pictures of the sexy objects? Real solid-state handcuffs, forged from the finest steel. Leather whips with long tails that will wrap around your thighs when your new master spanks you.”

“Stop it! Jesus. You’re incorrigible.”

She shrugged and winked at the same time. “All’s fair in friendship. If you don’t tell me whatever you’re hiding from me, I’ll make certain your neighbors know exactly what you ordered.”

“I’m going to kill you. You do know that. Right?”

“You can try but I’m a tough girl. Now, what in God’s name made you ask about the fantasy experience after two years?”

The woman was serious. At least she could make me laugh. I scanned the bar, still expecting to see the brute standing only a few feet away. If I was so afraid, why was my pussy aching? “I was almost killed outside the club.” I took a gulp of the new drink, enjoying the bitter taste.

“What? What are you talking about?” She grabbed my arm. “You’re serious.”

“I am. Tantians.”

“Tantians? Are you certain?” She appeared horrified.

“Yeah.”

“My God. Did you call an officer? Did you call your father? Isn’t he in control of who gets into our space?” She knew the second answer. Of course he was.

“Remember my history with the authorities? Besides, I don’t think they’d believe me. And my dad would just go into hypervigilant mode, which would mean he’d force me to stay with them. I don’t think I can handle it for an extended period of time. Besides, there’s no evidence left anyway.” Or at least I hoped not. If I had to see charred bodies again, I was certain I’d throw up.

“What do you mean there’s no evidence left? Did some creature swoop in and eat their bodies? I’ve heard there are prehistoric birds who make camp on the Earth Stations.”

“What? My God. No, just fire. I kicked some butt too but this… alien saved my life.”

“An alien. That’s not abnormal.”

“Um. Yeah, it is.”

“Why?”

“Because he looks kinda like the guy I shared the fantasy with. I mean the huge alien.”

“Oh, my oh my. Kinda like him? You mean same species?” Tory fanned her face on purpose, not taking me seriously yet.

“I don’t know what species he’s from. That’s the thing, and I mean exactly alike. I swear he recognized me too.”

“Wow. You’re serious. Are you certain you haven’t been taking those veterinary drugs?” she teased. Then her face fell. “You really are being serious. Are you okay?”

“Yep.”

My bestie was looking at me as if I’d grown two heads. “My, my. You are the original bad girl. If trouble could find anyone, it would be you.”

“Very funny.”

“Who says I’m teasing? Tell me what happened.”

I took another sip then I did in animated fashion, leaving nothing out. When I was finished, there was nothing but dead silence all around me. My bestie twisted her mouth, and I could swear her skin had turned an odd shade of pale green. Then she took a deep breath and there was no doubt by her expression that she doubted the validity of my story. Although there was a strange little spark in her eyes I could detect even with the flashing lights all around us.

“Are you okay?” I finally asked.

Tory gave me an odd look. Then she burst into laughter. “You’re trying to tell me that out of the blue, not one but five Tantians appeared trying to abduct you?”
