Chapter 1

Planet Venus, sister planet of Earth

Grace couldn't believe that she was finally going to another world. As the youngest daughter of a sanitation worker and a waitress, her options for careers were limited. But thankfully she had placed well on all the aptitude tests. But all the studying in the world did not give her the experience that she desired. And the itinerary had not allowed her any time before she left to pursue, her quest for an orgasm. The boys that she had dated at home had always fallen short of the mark. Maybe she needed an alien to grant her fondest desire. She perked up when she heard the captain's deep voice over the p.a. system, advising them to fasten their seat belts for decent. She was so excited that she could hardly wait. A new job, a new world, and who knew-maybe a new lover to give her that all elusive orgasm.

After disembarking the shuttle, she retrieved her luggage from claims and headed toward the terminal. She was surprised to see her name on a place card that a tall, attractive, young alien was holding in front of her. A smile spread across her face as she walked up to the woman who was dressed in an aqua colored pantsuit.

"That's me." She replied, holding her hand out. "Grace Lewis. Nice to meet you." She finished as she shook the alien's hand.

"My name is Alexa. Andrew asked me to meet you and escort you to your lodgings." She responded as they headed toward the glass doors leading to the outside world. As they exited the terminal, Grace looked around with wonder in her soft green eyes. The hustle and bustle of the town were in full swing. The colors were everywhere, but the most arresting sights were the florescent colors of the sky. It looked as if the whole sky was filled up with the aroeira borealis.

"It's so beautiful." Grace stated with her face turned up toward the sky. Back home she had tried it once and had only gotten eaten alive by bugs while her tepid lover had grunted over her.

"Yes, it is." Alexa replied as she ushered Grace through the marketplace.

After showing Grace her lodgings, Alexa left the young woman to settle in. Walking briskly back toward the office that she shared with her brother, Andrew, she hoped that he knew what he was doing. Pushing the door open she walked into the cool air. It felt quite wonderful, after being outside in the humid air. She found Andrew, hunched over a microscope.

"I picked her up." Alexa said as she fondly ruffled his ebony hair when she walked by his station.

"You did. Great!" Andrew said as he stood and stretched. He had been hunched over the microscope to long. "How did her flight go?" he asked while he filled his coffee cup from the pot on the counter.

"Fine. She is awe of all the sights. Are you sure that she is the right woman?" Alexa asked with concern.

"Yes, Sis, I know she's the right one." Andrew assured her as he took a drink out of his coffee cup.

"Does she know the reason you brought her here?"

"Yes. To work with me." He replied. "She's a very qualified lab tech."

"And she's destined to be your mate? Did you tell her that?" Alexa probed.

"Not yet. But I will. It's not something that you just spring on a woman that never met you before." He replied. "But she will soon know with a doubt that she is mine." He assured her, determination shining in his silver colored eyes.

Grace arrived at work the next morning, with anticipation running threw her veins. She could hardly wait to start her new job. She knew that she was just going to love her new job. When she entered the office, she saw Alexa sitting at the desk in the outer office, talking on the phone. Or what Grace assumed was a phone. It looked mighty different from the phone she had at home. Smiling she waved hi to her as she stopped in front of the desk. Alexa smiled back as she disconnected the call.

"Good morning, Grace. I hope you have settled in."

"Yes, I have. And now, I'm ready to start working." Grace replied happily.

"Well, I can see that you are excited about it." Alexa said as stood. "So if you'll follow me, I'll take you back to the work areas. My brother will take over from there. He's the one in charge of the actual product." Alexa explained as she headed down a long hall. Grace had to nearly run to keep up with her.

"Hey, not so fast." Grace said laughingly. "You have an advantage over me."

"I do?" Alexa asked dryly.

"Yes. Long legs." Grace responded.

Andrew felt the familiar tightening in his stomach. She was here! Raising his head, he watched the door. It was a surprising trait of his race to immediately recognize and respond to their chosen one. And Grace Lewis was his. Taking a deep breath, he let it out with a soft sigh of pleasure when Alexa came into the room followed by Grace.

"Andrew, the new lab tech is here?" Alexa said.

Grace drew in a deep breath, when she caught her first glimpse of Andrew. He was magnificent. When he stood, she could tell that he was even taller than his sister. They shared the same dark hair and golden hued skin. But where Alexa's eyes were blue, Andrew's eyes looked like they were the shade of polished silver. But surely no one had silver eyes, or did they?

"Hello, Grace." Andrew said huskily.

"Hi." She responded softly. He had the sexiest voice she had ever heard. She couldn't believe that she was becoming aroused by the sound of his voice. Andrew narrowed his eyes slightly as if he could read her mind. Heat filled her face at the thought of him being able to.

"Well, I'll leave you in his capable hands, Grace." Alexa said startling Grace.

"Okay, see you later." Grace replied as she watched Alexa walk out of the work.

Andrew watched his sister leave the work area. For a moment he just absorbed Grace's presence. He had waited for so long for her to come. Her lovely blond hair was pulled up in some kind of hairdo that left her neck bare. If he wasn't sure that it would send her running he would have kissed the exposed length of skin. But she had the look of an earthling deer. That the slightest move would send her fleeing. And with that he tightly grasped the reins of his self control.

"How about I show you where you'll be working at?" Andrew asked with a reassuring smile.

"Sure." Grace answered.

Grace finally relaxed, or at least as much as possible for her to relax when she was sharing a work space with an attractive alien. She was completely aware of him. She couldn't help but wonder how he would kiss or caress her young body. She kept trying to push those thoughts out of her mind. Surely it wasn't wise to be lusting after her new boss. But they kept returning no matter what she did. All he had to do was glance her way or speak softly to her, in that sexy voice of his. She was almost relieved when the end of the day came, so she could leave. After organizing her work station, she bid him a hasty goodbye and left the office. She would have to go out and find a lover as soon as possible, she thought as she walked toward her home. But how did one find a lover on this planet? Maybe she would ask Alexa. Surely the young alien would have some ideas.

Alexa found her brother standing in front of the window. Walking over she stood beside him. Immediately she saw what had captured his attention. The little earthling was leaving.

"Andrew," She asked softly. "Are you okay?"

"Yes." He replied looking over at her. "She's everything I want."

"I'm happy for you, Andrew. You've been waiting for so long. Have you told her yet?"

"No, not yet. But the telepathic link has already been established."

"Great." she responded. "Now it's only a matter of time."

The next afternoon, Grace finally found a chance to speak to Alexa. She only hoped that her new friend wasn't offended about what she was going to ask.

"Alexa, do you have a couple of minutes to talk?" Grace asked.

"Sure. What do you need to talk about?" Alexa asked as she sat down on the couch in the break room.

"Well, I was wondering where do your people go to meet others?" Grace asked as her cheeks got red.

"Meet others?" Alexa asked with a slight frown. "What do you mean meet others? We meet at the market, at parties, and at meetings. But somehow I don't think that's what you are talking about, are you?"

Grace shook her head. Reaching over she patted the earthlings hand.

"I think I understand what's troubling you." Alexa stated. Grace stared at her in shock. "You have become attracted to someone? To someone who's always in your thoughts. Til it's the only thing you want to think about. Right?"

"How did you know?"

"It's what we call the bonding. My race is a very sexual race to begin with, Grace. But when the time is right and we have meet our chosen one, the sexual need increases until it's all consuming. My guess is that you have crossed paths with the one that is your chosen one."

"So what do I do?"

"You find the one that is your chosen," Alexa started and then motioned Grace to come closer. "And then you seduce him."

"Really?" Grace asked. "And how do I go about that? Is it any different than how I would do it on earth? Do the men of your race find the same things exciting as mine do?"

"Just think about all the things that you want to do and he'll take care of the rest."

"Huh?" Grace asked confused.

"There is a telepathic link between the two of you. He will be able to receive your thoughts. Believe me it will work." Alexa assured her.

After turning the problem over and over in her mind, Grace decided to take Alexa's advise. If Alexa was right, then Andrew would be open to the idea of having her. She would try to seduce him. After she finished dressing for work, she carefully studied her reflection in the mirror. Her long blond hair she had pulled up in a french twist, leaving her neck bare. She had a feeling he liked it that way. She had donned her sexiest underwear. It made her feel very desirable. Gazing at her average size breasts, she hoped that they would be enough to please him. After running a soothing hand down her new outfit, she was ready to go. Hopefully the merchant that had sold her this outfit knew what he was about. She had gone to the market and had asked for a dress that was styled and designed by an alien designer. Let's hope that it made her more attractive to her boss. With a deep breath, she turned and left for work. Hoping that she would succeed.

Andrew watched as Grace walked into the work area. He almost forgot to breath. She was beautiful.

"Good morning, Drew." Grace said softly, letting her eyes devour him.

"Drew?" He croaked.

"It's a nickname for Andrew where I come from. I hope you don't mind?" She replied with a smile.

"No not at all." He replied.

"Good." Grace returned. He looked so cute when he got flustered, she thought. Cute enough to kiss. "Well, I suppose it's time to get to work."

"Yeah. Work." he replied. "Is it hot in here?" he asked as he tugged at the collar of his shirt.

"Hmm." She murmured but thought, not as hot as it's gonna get. Watching him she could see him swallow hard. Maybe this telepathy thing had it's merits.

By lunch time, Andrew was ready to go and have a cold shower. The little witch had been sending him dirty thoughts all morning. If she wasn't careful he was going to bend her over the nearest desk and have his way with her. After excusing himself, he left the building for lunch. He definitely needed a break.

Alexa watched her brother leave with a small smile. Turning she headed back to the work area to talk to Grace. She found her sitting at her brother's desk.

"How's it going, Grace?" She asked her friend.

"It's going." Grace responded. "I think he's getting the message."

"I'm sure you are. If it's any indication, my brother looked like he was ready to explode when he left here."

"Hmm, well there's always hope." Grace said softly.

"Don't worry, you'll get what you want." Alexa said as she patted her friend on the back.

Andrew walked back from his lunch hoping to feel more in control of his libido. But as soon as he entered the work area again, he was just as aroused as he had been when he left. He was a professional, he thought surely he could do this, he scolded himself. He would not put any moves on his chosen one at work. But after work, all bets were off, he decided. She wasn't going to know what hit her.

Grace punched out and sighed. She had sent her most heated desires to Drew all day, and nothing had happened. Maybe he wasn't her chosen one after all. But damn, she sure wished that he was. As she headed toward the exit, she was surprised when she felt Drew's presence. Turning she was surprised to see him looming over her.
