Chapter 18: Dreams and Nightmares

“ ... and that’s about it. I don’t know when, or even if, anyone else will show up. I hope they will, but who knows with these aliens. They don’t seem to be following their own rules.”

It had taken a couple of hours, but I had finally finished telling the last of our stories. Of course, I had to stop every time one of them had a question, and Emily had filled in some details of what had happened ‘back home’ after my ‘death’. We concluded that they were here because I had somehow prevented them from dying on Earth and they were ... how had Laarusk put it?... ‘spiritually attached’ to me. I wondered if I had to be directly responsible for saving someone or if I just had to influence their situation. As for the twins, we still weren’t sure how they got here. We would have to wait until they were out of surgery to hear their story.

Speaking of surgery. “Mallie, how is everything going with Takim?” asked Karen.

“It will probably be another hour or so before they are done. I have to admit the doctors are much more capable than I thought. Takim will live, but he will probably have some physical issues and limitations. As it is, he’s looking at quite a bit of recovery time. Even with help from Wizah, he’s going to be down at least two weeks.”

I was stunned. “Just two weeks? That is amazing! With injuries like he has, I would have thought six weeks just to get the casts off. Not to mention the months of rehab he’d need to get back in any kind of shape.”

“Actually, that’s kind of slow. If they had access to the on-board bio-med facilities, he would be back to normal in a few hours.”

I thought it would be advantageous to have something like that. Then I considered the implications of being able to recover so quickly. Fear of being injured and having to face the pain and suffering would disappear. Why worry about getting hurt if it can be repaired almost instantly? Even the speed we seemed to have now was incredible.

Something occurred to me and I needed an answer. “If they can make repairs so fast, why did it take so long to get Emily and Karen here?”

“Physical repairs are pretty easy for them because the genetic pattern is available. What takes time is the psychological repairs.”

Emily looked at me. “What psychological repairs, Mallie?”

Mallie’s voice changed and became more serious. “Your memories of your sexual exploits and how they affected your mental well-being had to be carefully adjusted so you would remember them, but not as the traumatic experiences they were. You have the memories, but they are more like waking dreams, especially since the physical effects have been removed. The more traumatic the experience, the longer it takes to adjust them.”

“Is that why I have been so closed to Andy? Why I want him to hold me, but not make love with me? I feel so strange when he is holding me. I want to do more, but I am afraid I might turn into my old self.”

“Emily, there is no chance of that happening. You know and understand why it happened before, and now you know how to keep it from happening. You can see what is in the other person. If you want confirmation, just look at Andy. The light doesn’t lie.”

Emily held my hands and looked into my eyes. “I see what you mean. His light is so warm and bright. There is nothing else like it in the world.”

“Andy, hold Karen’s hands and think about her while Emily looks at you. Emily, tell them what you see.”

I took Karen’s hands and looked into her eyes. I thought about how I felt about her.

Emily began describing what she saw. “It looks like a beautiful blue sky with fluffy white clouds surrounding and flowing between you.”

“The blue is the friendship they feel for each other and the white is love. They love each other much like siblings. The blending is indicative of the bond they share.”

“How do you know what it all means? I had a hard time figuring out the basic colors and it took me a few years just to do that!”

“I know because it is part of my job as Mallie, the Master Library Interface, to know. You have, for humans of your home planet, an anomaly in your genes. On other variations of your planet, your ability is quite common. The changing eye coloration of the women on this planet is a variation. The coloring indicators are very similar to those with which you are familiar.”

Emily asked what we all had to be wondering. “Does that mean you know everything about everything?”

“Not even close to everything. I know what is in the library they provided for you. That information is about the equivalent of what is available on your internet, and in some cases just as inaccurate. There is additional information which will help you in the future that I can’t access until it is needed. Other information I can only give you if the supervisor releases it to me. For example, I knew the doctors were there, but I couldn’t tell you unless you asked or, as in this case, an emergency required you ‘find’ them. I also know that everything about this project is in the library, but I can’t even verify its existence.” Mallie’s voice changed back to normal, “Can we talk about something else? I really hate being in work mode. Besides, don’t you think it’s time to get some sleep? You’ve been awake almost twenty hours.”

Just the mention of how long we had been awake had us all yawning. I assumed Emily would be staying with me and asked Karen if she was going to join us.

“You know, Andy. If you had asked me that two days ago, I would have jumped at the chance to sleep with you holding me again. You have a way of making me feel safe. But I don’t think I should if I intend to join with Takim and Shahana. I appreciate the offer though. I’ll find a space with the other women.”

“Karen, since you will be with the other women, would you like me to wake you when they get up? They aren’t familiar with using the kitchen. Etala will be in with Andy and Emily so won’t be up to take them to the cave for breakfast.”

Karen groaned “How soon will that be? Will I have to cook for all of them?”

“It’s not that bad, Karen. Just fix what you would normally eat. Except for Etala, they’ve never had your type of food. And there is more than enough time for you to rest up. They won’t be stirring for at least three hours.”

“Three Hours! I need at least six hours or I’m not fit to be around! And that’s if I get some coffee in me!”

“You will be fine with just three hours as long as you don’t try to do it all the time. You could push three hours a night for a week, but then you would need a full day to recharge.”

“If you say so, Mallie. You haven’t led me wrong so far. They won’t have any, um, hygiene issues, will they?”

“Etala spent quite a while getting them housebroken while you were reminiscing earlier, so they shouldn’t have any problems. They will probably wear the t-shirts and bathrobes until you get some other clothing out for them tomorrow, Andy.”

“Yeah, yeah, I hear you, Mallie. I’ll make sure they all have something to wear.”

“Oh, where do you want me to put the docs when they get done? One of the rooms next to yours?”

“I don’t mind where you have them sleep, as long as they get separate rooms.”

“Why separate rooms? They’re just a couple of ... Oh, right. Opposite ends of the house with full monitoring.”

I laughed. “It’s not that bad, I hope. They may be doctors, but they are just twelve years old. They don’t need to be playing doctor as well.”

Everyone got a good laugh from that. I gave Karen a kiss goodnight then held Emily as we went to the bedroom.

When we got to the bedroom, we found Etala sleeping naked in a pile of bedding on the floor. We got her untangled and I picked her up and put her on the bed. Emily held my arm and whispered, “Andy, I’m going to go to the bathroom and get cleaned up. I want to make love with you tonight.”

I kissed her soft lips. “I will give you what you want, baby. I love you so much.”

While she was taking care of herself, I finished tucking Etala in. She never woke, but emitted soft moans as I kissed her. Emily came out and climbed onto the bed while I went in to wash and brush. When I came out, I was ready for action. I looked and saw two beautiful women asleep in the bed. Emily had spooned up behind Etala with her arm wrapped around her. I didn’t want to disturb them, so I turned off the light and climbed in behind Emily. I pulled the blanket over the three of us, put my arm across both girls, and promptly fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning to soft lips wrapped around my cock. It felt so good, I couldn’t help but to hold and encourage her. She moaned and sucked harder, pulling me deeper into her. I couldn’t help but to start pushing deeper. I felt my cock slip into her throat and still I pushed deeper. Her throat clenched around my cock and she tried to push me away, but I held her until I felt myself explode into her. When I finally released her, I recoiled in horror when I saw the face of my long dead friend and lover, her eyes open and semen running from her mouth. I tried to scream but no sound came from my throat. I tried to get away but something was holding and shaking me.

“Andy! Wake up! You’re okay. It’s just a nightmare. You’re safe baby. Come on Andy, please wake up. Etala and I are here. We’ve got you. You have to wake up.”

My eyes flew open and I grabbed Emily and held on tight. My heart was racing and I was shaking like a leaf. I hadn’t had that nightmare in a very long time. I had hoped to never have it again. I took a deep breath and started to explain.

“I’ve never told anyone else about this. The dream always seems so real, as if it actually happened. But it couldn’t have. I would know, wouldn’t I?”

“I’ve had realistic dreams before too, but there was always something in them that couldn’t possibly be, so I knew it wasn’t real.”

“Father spoke of things he saw in his dreams, but they were usually of things that had not happened yet.” added Etala.

“Em, I told you part of the story before. I had a female roommate once and she and I had an agreement, we could be lovers as long as we were not involved with anyone else at the time. She had gone to the club with her friends that night. They said she had left with some guy they didn’t know. I was at home alone all night just watching TV. She never came home. This is where things start getting fuzzy since I’m not sure if it is part of the dream or reality. She called me from a payphone. The guy had taken her out of town and forced her to have sex with him and then dropped her off when he was done. She was crying and asked me to come get her, so I got in my car and went to pick her up. She had me drive her out to the bluff where she could look at the stars. We sat and held each other, not saying anything for the longest time. When I finally said we needed to get home, she pushed me onto my back and said she was going to take care of me first. She proceeded to give me the most fantastic blow-job ever. I woke up in my bed the next morning. Everything was just like it should have been. I thought this had been another fantasy and that I had dreamed the whole thing. They found her body two days later miles away from the bluffs and town. I started having this nightmare the day after they found her.” I explained the details of the nightmare.

Both girls looked at me as if unsure of what to say or do. Etala finally broke the standoff by wrapping me in her arms and kissing me soundly. “I do not know what many things you spoke of are, but I do know that if your dream was real, it was an accident and you did not mean to do it. I do not believe you would kill an innocent on purpose. Those you have killed since we met have all been bad people who deserved death. You are a good man, Andy, and I trust you with not only my life, but with the lives of my sisters and our children. I know you will do whatever you have to do to protect us.”

Emily latched on to my other side. “That goes double for me. I can see your light and there is no evil in it.”

They both proceeded to hug, kiss, and massage me until I laid down, relaxed. I fell asleep with a loving wife on each shoulder.

I don’t remember dreaming the rest of the night. I woke up alone in the middle of the bed. The shower was running so I decided to join whichever of my wives that was in there. I went in and relieved myself before stepping into the shower. I could tell the other occupant was Emily by her long hair. She was leaning forward with her hair flipped to the front under the spray, rinsing out the shampoo. This position presented her ass in such a tempting manner that I just couldn’t resist, so I leaned in to plant a kiss her rear. No sooner than my lips had made contact than she spun around and knocked me into the wall.

I have to admit, the girl can hit! I came to moments later lying on the floor with my head cradled in Emily’s lap. She was rocking back and forth, crying. I groaned and got slapped for my effort.

“Dammit, Andy, you can’t sneak up on someone like that! I could have really hurt you!”

I assured her that I was fine and she helped me to my feet. We toweled each other dry and wrapped her hair in a turban before going back to the bedroom. I put my hand on her firm ass and she turned into my arms. I picked her up and put her on the bed then climbed in next to her. I propped myself up on an elbow and looked down on her luscious body. She shivered as I traced a fingertip along her jawline and down her neck.

“Ooh, Andy. What are you doing to me? That feels wonderful. Please don’t stop.”

She gasped and her nipples became hard as I traced along them. I followed my fingertip with tiny kisses and nibbles. I spent the next ten minutes covering her from neck to belly button with kisses. She would try to push my head lower every time I got close to her sex until I began using my fingers to explore her pussy lips. She pressed against my hand with her hips and pulled my mouth to hers. I was probing her mouth with my tongue when I pushed my finger into her slippery tunnel. She jumped when it came into contact with her restored cherry.

She held me tight and whispered, “Please be gentle, Andy. I don’t want it to be like my first time before.”

I promised to be as gentle as possible. I sure didn’t want to hurt her in any way. I knew that I might be able to stretch her hymen by working it with my finger, so I pressed inward. It stretched as I penetrated deeper into her. She bit her lip and wiggled her hips a little. “That’s not so bad. But I know your cock is a lot bigger than your finger. I think I’m ready for it now. Just go slow.”

I pulled my finger from her depths and licked the honey from my finger. It was thick and sweet. “You taste so good baby, I could just eat you all up.”

“You can do that later. Right now I want you to make love with me. I want your cock buried deep in my pussy, driving me to ecstasy, and filling me with your burning white light.”

“You did a good job getting Etala ready for her first time back at her camp. I think you should use the same technique and be on top. That way we can touch each other and see each reaction. You know I love to watch your face as you reach your peak.”

I rolled onto my back and smiled as she straddled my hips. She laid down and kissed me, pushing her pointed nipples into my chest. I reached down and squeezed her firm bottom. She was shaking and her breathing was irregular. “I can’t believe how nervous I am! I wasn’t this bad my first first time!”
