Lost In Dreamland (8 page)

“Thanks!” Bonnie moved to the shelf and grabbed a bag. Then she turned and watched Liz hit the keypad for the pod and take the pills inside. Within five minutes, Liz was out and had the security guards follow her into a different room while Bonnie took her time quietly packing her bag.

Once she was alone, Bonnie moved over to the pod and punched in the numbers. For a second, she froze and waited for alarms to sound because her fingerprints were wrong or she’d failed a scan. The door opened, she slid inside and pushed it closed behind her.

“Who are you?” the hybrid asked.

Bonnie smiled. “Bonnie Hastings. Hi. I think we were at college together, but I’m sorry, I’m blanking on your name.”

“Shannon Madison. I remember you. What are you doing here?” Her dark brown hair framed her face, and those brown eyes were as confused as Bonnie felt.

“I got dumped here by some aliens. Apparently, I was abducted.” Bonnie sat in a free chair. The pod was well outfitted but very sterile.

“Aliens?” Shannon shook her head. “Are you okay?”

“Well, I’m not locked in a pod in a laboratory so compared to you, I’m great. Why are they keeping you here?”

Shannon shrugged. “No one will tell me exactly. I’m under observation. It’s insane. They say I was exposed to something, but no one wears masks or protective gear. So I guess whatever it was isn’t easily contagious.”

What a crock! Bonnie didn’t buy it. “Maybe you were abducted too, and they found more evidence. I had a ton of tests, and they found nothing. Did you have any lost time? Weird dreams? Or see any crazy lights or UFOs?”

Shannon paced the room and shook her head. “No. Nothing like that. I’m an astronomer, and I’m always looking at the sky. So this is about aliens?”

“Maybe you saw something that you didn’t realize was a UFO, and they’re covering it up.” Bonnie had a lot of possibilities and no answers.

“So why give me birth control pills?” Shannon picked up the packet and rattled the pills.

“It’s a military base. Lots of men. Maybe you’ll get lucky? Those guards outside your enclosure are really hot.” Bonnie stopped short of mentioning the alien group thing. That might send this girl over the edge.

Shannon sat across from Bonnie. “They are hot and very nice. How would I choose?”

“Why choose?” Bonnie grinned. For some reason, she felt very connected to Shannon.

“That’d be fun, but I’ve got enough crazy right now without juggling men. I don’t know what the government wants with me. I don’t know how to get out of here.” Shannon raked her fingers through her hair.

“I’m sorry. I wish I could help you. I can’t believe they keep people here like this just for observation.” Bonnie looked around at the sparse amenities. It was nothing like her quarters with rooms and privacy.

“I know. There’s something they aren’t telling me. I wonder if I did something wrong astronomically speaking.” Shannon spun the packet of pills on the table. “It’s nice of you to come and visit me. No one but that doctor and security has been around.”

The door flew open, and guards rushed in. “Come with us!” the leader ordered Bonnie.

“Sorry, gotta go.” Bonnie walked out the door and found her three guys walking into the lab.

“Bonnie.” Pierce’s look scolded her.

“She’s all alone in there. It’s so wrong to keep her isolated like that.” Bonnie avoided the other guards and went straight for her guys.

“You’re lucky you’re Hastings’ daughter, or you’d be in a real prison cell.” Zane put his hand at the small of her back and steered her to the door.

“Blah blah. That poor girl has no clue where she is or what she is. This place probably engineered her, and they’re treating her like a criminal.” She stalked toward her quarters and noticed Adonis carrying the bag.

“You got those?” she asked.

“Liz said you’d need them. Are you sick?” Adonis asked.

She laughed. “No, I just want to make sure we avoid another hybrid in the world. It’s for the best.”

“Good thinking. Or was it just a good excuse to get into the lab without suspicion.” Pierce lifted an eyebrow at her.

“What are you going to do? Lock me in the room? Whatever will we do?” She smiled suggestively. They might be mad now, but she’d distract them.

Chapter Seven

In the middle of the night, Zane woke up and found himself spooning Pierce. It was nothing new, but something was missing. He looked over and saw Adonis flat on his back, sleeping. Bonnie wasn’t in bed. Sliding off the end of the bed so as not to wake the others, Zane checked the bathroom and the other areas. After all that had happened today, Bonnie might want time alone or be unable to sleep.

Finding nothing, Zane grabbed his phone and tried to track Bonnie based on her phone’s signal. She might’ve gone to visit the hybrid again, even though they’d changed the pass code and added other measures. Perhaps, she’d gone to give her father an earful about her situation. Hell, she could be photographing cactuses in the desert night.

Deep down, he suspected it wasn’t that simple. Bonnie wasn’t happy with the confinement of herself and others. She wasn’t the type to sit by and endure it. When the reading came back that her phone was in the room, Zane searched for it and found it in the bottom of the laundry hamper.

There was no choice now. He hit the lights and others stirred.

“What’s wrong?” Pierce asked.

“She’s gone. Phone in the hamper. She’s trying to get out.” Zane threw on clothes in record time.

The other two did the same.

“Damn. She won’t get anywhere. She’ll just piss her father off.” Adonis headed out the door.

“Where do we look?” Pierce shook his head.

“She knows she can’t escape on foot. The perimeter security is too good. Even stealing a car won’t get her out the gate. She has no clearance.” Adonis inhaled.

Zane tried to get her scent, but their superior senses didn’t find her. The air filtration system was too good here. “Unless she takes a hostage, but she’d never do that.”

“No, she wouldn’t. Let’s try the hanger. She might try to hide out on a plane. That’s the only way she might get out and back to Vegas without detection.” Pierce led the way.

“How can we stop her?” Adonis asked.

“We have to.” Zane paused as the hanger doors opened for their authority.

Their alien eyes took in the vast space full of planes and smaller vehicles to tow and transport. Zane felt her heat in there. Inhaling deeply, he took off running at alien speed toward a classic 737, painted white with a green strip down the side.

The others followed, and once inside the plane, they stalked through the seating areas. Nothing. The cockpit was secured, and any break in would set off alarms. The back galley was empty and so were the bathrooms.

Finally, Adonis opened the overhead storage. Zane had to agree, their slim and flexible woman could fit in one if she scrunched up. The men opened them, one-by-one, until they found her.

“Thank God!” Zane tugged her out.

“No, let me go. I want to get home. I’m sick of this insanity.” Bonnie wore jeans, a black T-shirt, and black running shoes plus a thin leather jacket. Her long reddish hair was hidden under a knit cap.

“Where will go you that the government won’t find you?”

Her look was so subdued, and Zane hated it. He pulled off the cap and her hair spilled down over her shoulders.

“I can go off the grid,” she protested. “I have friends who moved to a commune, and you’ll never find them. Not that California badlands one, a real hippie-type one. I can make it there.”

“Without us?” Adonis asked.

“Come with me. Forget all of this, and we’ll be happy. The aliens won’t care about us when we’re not a threat.”

“Right, the government keeps track of all the aliens on Earth but not the communes? We’ll be dragged back here in no time and end up in real jail. We want you to be happy but safe, too.” Pierce picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder fireman style.

“Put me down!” She punched and kicked.

“We can take you, babe. Scream and you’ll just alert people to the fact that you tried to escape.” Adonis kissed her.

She stared at Zane and tried one last time, but Pierce’s strength was far superior.

“We can’t live without you. Not again. And we can protect you better than anyone else on Earth. You’re safer here.” Zane knew she’d heard it all before, but she’d never seen their strength and skills in action.

Her lips pursed in an angry frown, but she kept quiet and let Pierce carry her all the way back to their quarters. No one blinked at the sight, and she didn’t look away. Zane admired her and couldn’t imagine going back to their boring lives without her.

Once inside the room, he yanked the jacket off her then the shirt. Adonis nudged her onto the bed and removed her shoes and those jeans. She’d dressed smartly for travel and possibly having to hike a little in the desert to find help, but the dark colors and being covered head-to-toe weren’t her style.

“You’d just miss the sex.” She unhooked the bra, in which she had stuffed a few power bars.

Zane straddled her waist. “No. We love you. This isn’t ideal, we know. But you ran out on us?”

“It’s not you guys. I love you three. I can’t take all the confinement. The secrets. That poor woman being kept against her will with no explanation, and I get in trouble for even talking to her.” Her face went red and her breathing sped up.

“We know it’s frustrating. Living here takes some getting used to, and we’ll help you. But you can’t run. You can go to a movie—we get them before they release. You can play any sport you want. There are plenty of distractions.” Adonis stroked her hair.

“This isn’t my job. It’s not my life. It’s crazy.” She tried to sit up.

Zane nodded to Pierce and knew her panties were coming off as Bonnie wiggled.

“Sex doesn’t solve everything!” she insisted.

Zane rolled off her and laughed. “Who are you and what have you done with our woman?”

Bonnie giggled and covered her face with her hands. Still, the tears slid from the corners of her eyes. “What’s happening to me?”

Adonis kissed her forehead. “This isn’t your life, we know. There’s nothing you can do in Dreamland for your regular job, but you can take pictures.”

“They don’t need me here. I know you want me, and I want to be with you but not here.” Bonnie smacked the bed.

“Do you think that the hybrid wants to be here, either?” Pierce asked.

“They won’t let me near her again.” Bonnie rolled her eyes.

Zane nodded. “Not right now. Things will progress. She’s here for a reason. Do you really want to abandon us and her? Running away isn’t a trait of the woman I fell in love with.”

She sat up and studied her men. “You’re right. I’ll raise some hell tomorrow with dad. I panicked.”

Adonis rubbed her shoulders. “It happens. What can we do to help?”

“My apartment. I have a lot of equipment there that’s not cheap. If I don’t pay my rent, who knows what that jerk landlord will do with it. I can’t access my emails or my bank account to send him anything. I’m frozen, and I want that stuff. I want my clothes, my things and my work around me.” She looked around the room. “This place needs a little flavor.”

“That’s something your dad can get done. I’m sure he’s seen to the rent being paid, but we can have some of your things packed up and brought in.” Zane smiled.

Pierce massaged her feet. “Stick with us through this crazy time, and once we’re all free and safe, we’ll go anywhere you want.”

She moaned and stretched. “Promise?”

All the men insisted they would as they rubbed their hands over her body. Bonnie leaned over and kissed Zane slowly. When she started tugging at his clothes, Zane knew her panic had passed and he let his guard down.

Pierce spread her legs and licked her slit while Zane massaged her breasts.

“I’d have missed you three so much,” she moaned.

“You’d have been back in a week.” Adonis kissed her mouth and went to get supplies.

She gripped Zane’s cock and tugged until he moved to straddle her head. Bonnie tongued his tip and caressed his balls. In that position, he could kiss Pierce and lap at her clit.

Moaning, Bonnie rubbed the spot behind his balls then lube dripped onto his ass. Adonis had read the mood the same as Zane. There was no need to go wild and screw like animals tonight. When Adonis pressed his cock to Zane’s ass, he tilted his hips and relaxed for what he needed.

“You might not miss me too much.” Bonnie resumed sucking Zane’s member.

“The hell we wouldn’t.” Zane pinched her clit as a condom landed on his left side.

Pierce slid on the protection and filled Bonnie’s pussy to prove how much they needed her. Rubbing her clit, Zane watched the long cock work in and out of her slick folds. His insides tightened with need. Adonis gave Zane’s ass the same treatment, and the more Bonnie groaned, the better her mouth felt on Zane’s cock. The slow motion sex intoxicated him, and when she circled his tip with her tongue, Zane lost control. Dazed, Zane came in her mouth as his body convulsed on Adonis’ cock in a duel release.
