Lost In Dreamland (9 page)

Adonis’ strong arms held Zane as his hips snapped. Bonnie muttered something that sounded positive, but Zane could only feel Adonis kissing his back and fucking his ass. When the room stopped spinning, Zane fingered her clit and gave her a dose of the alien super speed until she shrieked in a hard orgasm. The sweet reaction sent Adonis over and he ground to Zane’s ass as his climax drove him harder.

Pierce fucked her until she stopped shaking. Easing from her, Pierce rubbed his cock between her pussy lips. Zane tried to resist, but their leader was still hard. Yanking off the condom, Zane sucked the cock as Pierce ran it along her slit. Zane reached around and stroked Pierce’s balls.

When Pierce’s hips started to jerk, Zane knew he was close. The cum hit Zane’s tongue, and he dipped his tongue into her pussy to mix the juices and flavors. So good. Zane sucked up all of their juices as Adonis eased back. It was Pierce who broke the spell and yanked Zane up for a kiss.

“We’ve always got each other, but don’t worry, we’ve got her, too,” Pierce whispered.

Zane nodded and slid his tongue alone Pierce’s. Bonnie would never like life on a military base, but they’d never let her go. She’d battle it out with her dad and find a way to make it work. Compromise was part of love and family.

* * * *

The next morning, Bonnie and the men were called into her dad’s office. The glare in his eyes told her this was beyond serious.

“I wasn’t trying to sabotage anything. All I wanted was to get out of here,” she argued.

“Last night, we had a UFO over New Mexico. If you’d gotten on the wrong plane, you could’ve been hurt.”

Pierce’s posture straightened up. “Aliens were engaged?”

“We scrambled some fighters to draw their attention. The abductions have been spiking. We think maybe they were returning some people.”

“I’m not stupid enough to get into a military plane. I went commercial, but they found me.” She smiled at her guys.

“Why do you have to cause trouble? We have real problems to deal with. I want you here and safe, but you can’t break in and cause trouble.” He folded his arms.

“Shannon has no idea why she’s even here. She hasn’t hurt anyone. Why are you treating her like a criminal?” she demanded.

“Bonnie, why are you so focused on the hybrid?” Pierce asked.

She shrugged and really had no answer. “I don’t know. I feel connected to her.”

“You’re both being held here and don’t want to be. It’s understandable you’re looking for friends and connections.” Adonis patted her shoulder.

“It’s more than that. I can make friends with Liz or some of the other women around here, but I’m not the science brain they are. You guys gave me a camera so I could photograph things, but I can’t get my mind off some poor woman who’s in isolation.” She threw up her hands. “I trust my instincts. Maybe that makes me too sensitive for Dreamland living, but I can’t help it.”

Her dad’s eyes locked on hers and she felt he was hiding something. “What?” she asked. “What aren’t you telling me?”

“You need to understand it’s top secret. I can’t risk you telling anyone or freaking you out.” Her dad shook his head.

“Dad, tell me the truth. I went through the memory thing. I’ve tried to get along here. If you’re honest with me, I’ll stay here until it’s safe to leave. No more stunts. You also have to make sure the rent is paid on my apartment so my stuff is safe while I can’t be out there working. And just to be clear, I’m not giving up my guys no matter what.” She wagged a finger at him.

“I taught you how to negotiate too well.” He smiled slightly. “Fine. I’ll tell you the truth. Your instincts have always been too good.”

“What does that mean?” She got a chill.

“First, understand, I can move the hybrid where you can’t get to her. Another base, anywhere. No trying to see her again without permission. It won’t help her at all.” His voice was calm and deliberate, like when he told her what boys wanted before her first date. He could make anything sound painful and scary.

“I get it. You’re powerful, and you don’t want me talking to her. I didn’t tell her she was a hybrid. That’s a shock I don’t want to give her if I can’t back it up with information about her real parents and how it all happened. It’s not fair to her.” Bonnie wasn’t interested in hurting people just to throw the truth out there. “I think she deserves to know the truth.”

“That’s something we have to control. Right now, her not knowing the truth is safer for her, trust me. I don’t want to hurt her anymore than you do. I’m as concerned for her as I am for you.”

He sounded sincere, but Bonnie didn’t understand it. “That’s nice, I guess. I am your daughter so maybe that’s why I’m getting more freedom.”

“No, you’re getting more freedoms because you’re a human. You’re both my daughters.” Hastings looked to the guys.

Bonnie blinked and looked around the room. The men looked as surprised as she was. Focusing on her father, Bonnie shook her head. “Look at me, Dad.”

He finally stared her straight in the eye. “It’s not a joke. Shannon is my daughter. That’s the connection.”

“You cheated on Mom with an alien chick?” Bonnie held her head. “You’re serious?”

“I was on lockdown for six months. You were barely three months old. Your mother hated me because I wasn’t there to help, but we had a female alien refugee. That’s never happened since,” he explained.

“So you had to sleep with her?” Bonnie stood and wanted to hit something. Violence was an urge she’d so rarely had that it made her shake. “You’re telling me Shannon is my little sister?”

“Half sister, yes.” Hastings nodded. “And yes, your mother knows about it. We had a bit of a separation when you were two, but we worked it out. Our lives have never been normal. We’ve all sacrificed for our security.”

“What a sacrifice!” she rolled her eyes.

Zane got up and hugged her. “Hey, give it a little time. Process it.”

Hastings tapped his fingers on the desk nervously. “I’m sure it’s a shock. Your mother had the odd misstep too but no other siblings.”

“That explains the connection. You’re related.” Adonis smiled at her.

Bonnie nodded absently. “My parents cheated on each other. I have a half sister I never knew about, but you sent us to the same college. So, you’re just going to keep her there for her own protection? Not let her talk to people? She’ll go crazy.”

“There aren’t many alternatives.” Hastings shook his head.

“Let her have friends. Tell her the truth so she doesn’t snap. I tried to escape after a few days, and I’ve got three men who love me, and I know the man holding me hostage. She might be scared now, but she’ll get mad and find a way out of that pod. If she and I are related at all, she won’t accept being a prisoner.”

“You’re not clones.” He chuckled.

“We’re your daughters. Would you tolerate the aliens taking you hostage for long?” she asked him.

Her dad leaned back. “I’ll think about it. We’ll have her checked out and see if she can handle that level of shock and function here.”

“So you trusted my ability to function?” Bonnie laughed.

“I trusted that you and your men are a good group. You have the support you need.” He nodded.

“Fine, so let Shannon have friends and family. We’re right here. Give her a chance for support. Where’s her mother?” Bonnie found it easier to focus on Shannon’s needs instead of her own shock.

“Shannon’s mother is at another secure location. Shannon was raised by an adoptive couple like a normal human child. They knew she was special and protected her secret. I’m not going to make any decisions right now.” He looked at her sternly. “I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you before, but you can’t tell Shannon about this. Any of it.”

Finally, Bonnie saw a glimmer of hope. “Does that mean I can see her? We can chat about men and clothes?”

He nodded with a sigh. “You two making friends isn’t a terrible idea as long as you can control yourself. No more escaping.”

She smiled. “No, I promise. I panicked, and I knew the guys would come after me this time. No matter where I ended up. Now, I have a reason to stay. I can’t help fight aliens or protect anyone, but I can help my sister deal with this place. I want to get to know her.” It felt weird to say and weirder to have a sister.

“Good. Give it time and get used to it before you rush in and spend time with her. You tend to blurt out things.” He winked at her.

“I know.” No matter how much they annoyed each other, Bonnie knew her dad understood her and her habits like few people did. “Once this is all over, you assign the guys wherever they want to go, no arguments.”

“Fine. Now, get out. There’s nothing more to say, and I’ve got to go to New Mexico for a day or two. Don’t try to go in the pod until I get back. You need to come to terms with this first.”

She walked over and hugged her dad. Leaving, she knew the guys were behind her, and it was a good thing. Pierce wrapped an arm around her waist, and she caught her breath. She needed to let the information overload sink in.

Chapter Eight

Back in their quarters, Pierce poured her a shot of tequila. Bonnie sat on the couch with Adonis and Zane on either side of her.

Pierce handed her the glass, and she downed the alcohol. “Thanks. You guys don’t want any?”

“Alcohol is sort of a truth serum for us. Makes aliens a little loose.” Adonis kissed her temple. “You don’t need us to get too wild.”

“Guess not, not yet anyway. Good to know.” She pointed at the bottle, and Pierce brought it over. Bonnie took a swig and coughed.

“Easy, it’ll be fine. We’re not going anywhere.” Zane patted her back.

“I don’t drink much, but I needed it.” She handed the bottle back. “I wonder if a human woman can get pregnant by alien men. We know it works the other way around.”

Pierce shook his head. “I don’t think you want to test that theory yet.”

“No way. Just curious. I’m not one of those brainy chicks in that lab. I don’t know how all the cells work, but if it was safe, I’d have a baby with you guys.”

“That sounds pretty serious.” Zane kissed her cheek.

“I think we are. Now that my dad finally came clean, it explains so much. I feel like I’m not missing something and waiting for the truth to come anymore. It’s freeing.”

“You’re a very intuitive person. Being half-sisters, no doubt you and Shannon are alike in a lot of ways,” Adonis said.

Bonnie smiled. “It’s not just that. I always knew he was keeping more things from me. Not just the military secrets or aliens but personal stuff. Like he was holding back somehow. There was a distance in the family. My mother acted like a single mom until he came home and took over.”

“He didn’t want to confuse you. No kid needs that trauma.” Pierce sat on the other side of Zane.

“But children know when something is wrong in their family. Clearly, Bonnie sensed the trouble, and it made her distrust her father. Not ideal,” Zane said.

She started to giggle and leaned on Zane. “That’s so dumb.”

“Excuse me?” he asked.

“Not you, me. I’m complaining about my childhood and secret siblings. You guys crashed on a strange planet and were raised by the military. That can’t be loving and supportive. Away from your parents and friends.” She hugged Zane tight.

“Keelon males are taken from their parents young and put into bonded groups. We had each other. Believe me, the military here was better than Keelon training.” Adonis hugged her from the other side.

“Seriously?” she asked Pierce.

He nodded. “It’s all true. Don’t feel sorry for us. We’re much better off here, and we have you. We’ll fight the Keelons to stay here. The crash was the best thing that happened to us.”

Bonnie took a deep breath. “Well, I’m sure glad you’re here. Are you guys going to move in here permanently? All your stuff?”

“If you want us to, we’ll move it all in now.” Pierce smiled.

“Now, please. Then get some limes and salt. I want to do shots right. All of us.” She smiled.

“Bonnie, you want us to get drunk?” Zane knew none of them had indulged at all since college. They didn’t like being out of control.

“One shot each. Come on. I’ll let you lick the salt off my naked body. Anywhere you want. Suck the tequila out of my belly button.”

“You sure know how to tempt us.” Adonis kissed her and stood up. “Let’s get moved so we can have some fun.”

“Wait, all your stuff is in your place. Isn’t it better to just move my stuff there?” she asked.

“No, you’ve got more space here. This is an upgrade.” Zane kissed her then dragged Pierce by the hand.

* * * *

By the time the men returned, Bonnie was naked on the bed with the bottle of tequila next to her. She’d seen them drunk in college. It was fun! Once in a while, it wouldn’t hurt them.

Adonis got busy cutting up the limes, and Zane licked a few spots on her body and added salt. She shivered as the grains covered her breast. They were such men, aliens or not. The shot had taken the edge off her stress. Now her world made more sense than it ever had. She didn’t have to like the alien threats or the abduction, but it brought her back to the men she knew truly loved her. It was worth it.
