Kheyra's Letter to Dargon
Before escaping Dattar, Kheyra wrote this letter to her
estranged brother.
Dearest Dargon:
By the time you get this, I will be
long gone. Most likely, I’ll be dead. Forgive me for not telling you
anything about my plan. You were the only one I wanted to confide in, but
I could not take the chance of endangering you.
If my protocols withstand scrutiny,
this should reach you long after the interrogation. If you’d known
anything about my escape, they would have gotten it out of you, one way or
another. People have been disappearing. I believe I know why, and I just
couldn’t take the risk you might be one of them.
I am a submissive, Dargon, and I
can’t go on pretending to be otherwise. They’ve chosen me a husband, but I
refuse to spend the rest of my eternity living a lie. I cannot marry a man
I know deep down could never satisfy me. How could anyone satisfy me if I
don’t know what it would take to feel satisfied? I’d rather die trying to
figure it out.
That’s why I’m going to Earth. If
everything we know about Earth is true, one of their males should be able
to give me what I’m looking for. I’d like to be happy with a man,
sexually, at least once before they find me. The calculations show I have
about five days after landing before the posse tracks me down, maybe more,
if I immediately travel far from the landing site, but the point of going
to Earth is not to run and hide, but quite the opposite.
I wish I could have told you the
truth about myself sooner, but you’ve been so withdrawn after your
initiation. I’m so sorry, Dargon. You should have waited. Why did you rush
into it a whole decade before they would have come for you? I can’t
imagine what they did to you. It must be so much more difficult for a man.
I could hardly stand to watch how experienced men were humiliated at my
initiation. Your first time…
I’m afraid. You were always the
strong one, but I’m afraid they might have broken you. Please, don’t let
them. Please. You must survive this. Find a way.
Once I’m gone, they’ll probably
erase every record of my existence. The enclosed files will be the only
remaining proof. Be careful. If they’re discovered in your possession, who
knows what they’ll do. If by some chance they bring me back, you cannot
tell me that you know any of this. You cannot trust me. I do not know what
they’re capable of, but nothing would surprise me.
One of the two attached files
contains the details of my escape. The protocols will probably be changed
as soon as my escape destination is discovered on the ship’s log, but I
still wanted you to know how I did it.
The second file is the record of my
initiation. I don’t know why I wrote it at the time because there wasn’t a
single fraction of that experience that I want to remember. I haven’t read
it since, but I have to share it with you because it is the only recorded
truth about who I really am. Someone must know what they did to me and to
the men who were there.
The files are encrypted, but you
know the key. Remember where we used to meet and the dream you had. Keep
these files safe and remember me as I might have been. I want to be free
to submit to a man. I want to know what it’s like to be possessed.
If a miracle happens, and I survive,
I’ll keep a record of my experiences at the following path:

Forgive me for leaving you and
please take care.
I love you.
Your sister,
Kheyra
********************************************************
Chapter One
The club’s drumbeat pulsed through misty air. Kheyra
took a languid breath, hoping to decipher every one of some dozen flower
scents woven into the ocean breeze. Earth smelled so rich. Even Angelinos
chattered about the abundance of flowers after the record winter rainfall.
The scents on Dattar were so different. Everything was different.
Kheyra looked at her clothes, smiling. It was still
hard to believe she was here. No way would she be wearing anything so
revealing back home. The pale blue sequined top barely reached her navel.
The black leather mini-skirt molded to her ass like second skin, and the
spiderweb black hose… Okay, maybe those were a bit much, but they worked.
Earth’s males needed so little to get interested. Her parents would
probably hemorrhage if they saw her, and Morna, the planet’s matriarch,
would have her committed, or worse. Wearing something so cheaply
provocative tarnished Kheyra’s family stature and her class as an alpha
female on a planet of beta males.
Kheyra waited for her latest dance partner in the
alley adjoining the club. He wasn’t exactly the alpha male she’d come to
find but he certainly stirred her appetite. With that starved look, and
the stiff erection jammed against her crotch, he all but had sex with her
right on the dance floor. Kheyra reeled with the discovery. On Dattar, all
males were submissive and meant to stay that way. They offered themselves
to the dominant females in whatever kind of sexual or other submission the
female demanded. Only Kheyra wasn’t a dominant.
She’d suspected from the very beginning. Her
initiation partner, hand-picked by Morna, had gone down on one knee in the
offering ritual. Kheyra commanded positions, told him what, when and how
much in every variation she could think of, but even though he worked hard
to obey, the climax left her hollow. Nothing had changed since. Other
women so relished being dominant that Kheyra never dared confide in
anyone, not even her brother Dargon. They used to be so close but
something happened to Dargon. He hardly ever saw her anymore.
Then the dreams came. The things the man did… He
moved her body until the lust ached and she begged like a child for the
full taste of pleasure. She’d lived on those dreams for years, until Morna
announced Kheyra’s marriage to an appropriate male from an important
family.
When you lived forever, dreams eventually faded, but
forever was a long time to be sexually frustrated.
Kheyra couldn’t object to the marriage, of course.
She obeyed her family, law and tradition, but she was tired of pretending.
A part of her hid locked up somewhere and she had to know what it was. She
had to experience true passion at least once. She wanted to be seduced by
an alpha and give herself all the way, in every way he asked. She could
tell no one, though. From time to time, females disappeared. No one dared
to ask where, but in the throng of hushed voices, the word “submissives”
stood out like the threat of plague. Only on Earth, where most males were
sexually dominant did Kheyra stand a chance of discovering a submissive’s
pleasure.
She had little time, though. The encrypted
transportation logs would eventually be hacked, and the trajectory of the
missing ship would point to Earth.
She swayed toward the corner to the beat of the drums
and the staccato of high heels. No doubt letting her wait was a part of
the game. She peeked at the entrance in case he was looking for her then
strolled back into the shadows. Although the guy made all the right moves,
his presumption of her readiness, even though she was more than ready,
mentally anyway, gave her pause. She imagined a man who guided her from
cold to explosive in slow-burning agony of desire, not a guy interested
only in a quick score.
She’d play along for now to see how it went. In any
case, her latest selection made a good learning sample, just like all the
others in the last few days. The more she learned, the more certain she
became about exactly what she wanted. If she was going to die for it, she
would at least die satisfied.
The man appeared around the corner and sauntered
toward her. Kheyra approached, aware of the man’s eyes on the gliding
motion of her hips. She wanted to jump up and down, laughing. Being the
object of a man’s desire more than pumped up the volume of blood through
her veins.
“There you are, gorgeous,” he drawled, wrapping his
arms around her waist. “I was afraid you’d changed your mind.” His hand
coasted to her ass and splayed on it possessively before he shoved her
against his erection.
Kheyra gasped. A quiver ran between her legs. Only a
dominant would do something like this.
“I’ve been waiting,” she said. Only she didn’t want
him in that way and she couldn’t figure out why. She only hoped that she’d
run into the right guy soon. Only five days tops remained before the posse
found her. No Dattaran was ever allowed to set foot on Earth although they
studied it extensively as an example of what happened to a planet ruled by
dominant males.
With his hand on her ass, the man led her deeper into
the alley, behind a dumpster. His heartbeat punched in time with the muted
drums, and Kheyra relished the telltale sign of his excitement. Even at
the peak of exertion, vampire hearts beat so slowly.
He dragged her against the wall and grabbed her
breasts with both hands. A bit too rough but her nipples still responded.
He kissed her neck and licked a hot trail to her ear.
“Babe…” he groaned. “I can’t wait…”
His hand slipped under the hem of the skirt then up
over to edge of her stocking until it molded to her bare buttock.
“Sweetheart…” he groaned at the discovery she wore no
panties and snaked his hand between her legs, right to the parting of her
vaginal lips.
The invasive gesture shocked. It shouldn’t be like
this. It was too soon. She wanted… Not this.
“No…” she croaked and pushed against his shoulders.
He pinned her harder against the wall. His fingers
parted her, pushed inside her. Kheyra winced at the rough intrusion. He
pulled away just enough to unbutton himself and shove his pants to his
mid-thighs, exposing his penis. She grabbed both his shoulders and leered
into his face.
“I said ‘No’!” In a lightning move, she
twisted him around to trap him against the wall. He laughed, pushing back
to regain the upper hand, but he couldn’t move an inch against her
superior strength. His face twisted, his mouth gaped open to protest, but
she slapped a hand to shut him up and buried her fangs in his neck. He
wiggled and strained but he was going nowhere.
When she drank her fill, she looked into his
bewildered face and licked off the traces of blood from her lips.
“Sorry…” She smiled. “You are not what I’m looking
for.”
She released him but he stood paralyzed with fear.
She waved dismissively. “Go!”
He flinched but kept staring. Well, she had no
interest in killing him. How messy! No more point to leaving bodies around
than wearing unnecessary undergarments. On Dattar, vampires fed from each
other for survival as well as pleasure.
Well, if he wasn’t going to leave, she certainly was.
Time flew and the club teamed with potentials. She moved around the
dumpster when a man descended upon her victim.
Kheyra froze in her tracks. He came out of nowhere,
from above. The intruder tossed the man around and plunged his fangs into
the mortal’s neck. Impossible.
The noise from her heart deafened her. It never beat
this fast in her whole immortal life. Impossible…
Vampires didn’t exist on Earth, except in myths and
stories that Dattarans had planted for their amusement. But those were
just stories.
Yet, this man actually plummeted from the sky to
capture his prey. Kheyra wanted to run but she could only stare. While he
drank, the vampire’s gaze caught hers. Now she knew what ice felt like
because his nutmeg eyes cut her like frozen spears. Kheyra prayed for the
sudden miracle of teleportation to take her straight back to Dattar.
Too late…
The vampire shook the mortal man until their gazes
locked. He held him that way for an agonizing minute then shoved him away.
The mortal stumbled past her with a blank and bewildered expression as if
he never even saw her. Before she had time to face the vampire again, he
grabbed her from behind and lifted her into the air.
She struggled to inhale against his bone-crunching
grip. “What are you doing? Release me! Right now!”
“I’d rather that you pipe down and pay attention.”
The gruff tone commanded obedience. She would have fought except that his
tight grasp proved he was stronger than her. Much stronger. If she weren’t
a vampire, he could probably crush her bones. Impossible… On Dattar,
females were at least three times stronger than males.
He flew high over the city where he stopped and
hovered.
He unhooked one of his arms from her waist and
pointed to the streets below. Kheyra gasped and reached for the sides of
his thighs. Only one arm. How long could he hold her like that? Who was
he? Where did he come from? Were there others? Why were Dattarans led to
believe that vampires on Earth were only fiction? And he was so strong.
“Stop it and pay attention! See that intersection
there?” He pointed east. “That’s Franklin and Wilton.” His finger skimmed
southeast. “From there, past Hollywood Cemetery and the studio to Wilton
and Melrose, then to Melrose and Highland, and back to Highland and
Franklin. Less than two square miles and they’re my hunting ground. Stay
out.”
He shifted into a free fall so fast that all blood
rushed to Kheyra’s head. She held her breath and squeezed her eyes shut.
Both his arms were around her again, but she still felt the need to hold
to his forearms. Muscles tightened beneath her grasp, a lot of muscles.
Her hand skimmed up his arm, feeling them.
“Bugger!” he cursed, setting her to the ground with a
teeth-rattling thud. “Just stay away from my territory,” he bellowed,
pronouncing ‘territory’ with such a delightful accent that Kheyra couldn’t
take her eyes off him. When she started learning English, she was
fascinated with its multitude of accents. At some point, she could
identify a good number of them, and she was certain she recognized the
shaved o’s and softened r’s. British! Of course. Fear took an instant back
seat to fascination.
“How old are you?” she uttered.
His scowling gaze traveled from her sequined top and
bulging breasts, down her exposed midriff, to her mini skirt. Her body
temperature must have jumped four degrees before his mocking gaze rose to
meet hers. Those light brown eyes seared her breath. Even his face looked
strong with high cheekbones, square lines, deep-set eyes, and they held
her captive until she had to command herself to stop staring. But why
should she? He was a vampire—an Earth vampire, stronger than her. The only
soft thing about him was his long black hair, which enticed her to run her
hand through it and find out how far down his back it reached.
He raised an eyebrow. “How old am I?” He shook his
head. “Listen, I don’t give a damn who in the bloody hell you are, just
tell me what born-yesterday idiot sired you so I can rip out his heart and
stop him from making more harebrained fools.”
Sired? What did he mean?
“I…” she stammered.
He waved her off. “On second thought, I don’t care to
know. Just be gone.” He turned away.
“Who do you think you are, talking to me in this
way?” she shouted. Earth vampires may not care about manners of civilized
society, but she would still not allow him to talk down to her.
Faster than a blink of an eye, he had her pinned to
the wall, his eyes flaming with blood, his fangs glinting in a rabid
snarl. She tested her muscles to their limits by pushing at him. Few
Dattar females could match his strength. His head came down and he tore
into her neck. Kheyra nearly fainted from the rush of heat. He was so
savage, so in control. Instead of pushing, she grabbed and clung. His
fangs were in her flesh, her blood was flowing into him. She could hear
the hum and it shimmered right down to her clitoris. On top of her, the
vampire exhaled in sharp bursts while drinking more, faster. Her awareness
dimmed, her strength waned. No one had taken that much blood from her
before. She should be terrified. Instead, she savored the most amazing
arousal of her life. This was the alpha male she had traveled light years
to find.
He drew away from her neck. Kheyra’s head fell
forward. If he let go, she would crumple to the ground from a toxic blend
of weakness and lust. But he didn’t let go. His grip tightened.
“I am Deacon Quincy,” he announced. “I talk as I
please, and it would please me not to have to repeat myself. Staaayyy
awaayy!”
