Passion Play (Abducted 3)
here else in the hotel. Also missing were the wooden details. This room was cool blue with very minimalist, clean lines.
Crystal paused, feeling a little dizzy herself, whether from the disorienting elevator ride, the jarring change in environment, or the sudden distance from Terrien, she didn’t know.
Eva led Aria to a chair.
“I don’t know what came over me.” Aria’s cheeks flushed red.
“The transporter has that effect on some people.”
Crystal turned toward the unfamiliar female voice.
“The what?” Aria’s eyes widened.
A woman stood beside Terrien, who was taking off his suit jacket. Crystal stared mesmerized at his broad chest and muscular arms. The woman handed him a dark green jacket just like the one she wore, and he pulled it on. It looked like a military uniform of some sort.
Oh, God, she loved a man in uniform.
“The transporter,” the newcomer repeated. She pushed a button on a small console on the wall beside her, triggering a loud humming.
The wall started to slide upward, revealing windows beyond. Aria gasped, echoed by several of the others, as a stunning vista of stars was revealed.
“It transported you to our starship.”
“That’s ridiculous.” Crystal wondered if this was some kind of space fantasy camp or something, but she wasn’t interested. She wanted a man, a bed and a solid cock. And the bed was optional. All this space-fantasy crap would just get in the way of her getting laid.
She stepped up to the window and peered outside. Still, they’d done a great job on the display behind the glass. She could almost swear she was looking out at a real star field.
“I don’t know, Crystal.” Kate’s voice sounded on the edge of panic. “Look!” She pointed upward.
Crystal followed her gaze. The wall panels continued to retreat over the ceiling, revealing a beautiful but quite disturbing view of Earth.
“Oh, my God.” Eva sank into a chair, sounding a little panicked. “We’ve just been abducted by aliens.”
Chapter Three
“You.” The uniformed woman pointed at Aria. “Come with me.”
Crystal didn’t like the sound of that.
“We stay together,” Eva insisted as she stood up and walked toward Aria protectively.
“No, actually you don’t,” the woman responded.
As the stranger grabbed Aria’s arm and dragged her to her feet, Crystal stepped forward too but stopped in her tracks when Terrien moved in front of Eva. He wasn’t menacing, but Eva seemed reluctant to push past him. Did he have the same effect on Eva as he did on her, or was it simply that he was tall, strong and masculine?
Oh, God, intensely masculine. She could imagine his strong hand grasping her arm, the heat of his body close to hers as he restrained her. Then the feel of his lips against hers as he pushed her against the wall and…
She sucked in a deep breath as she pulled herself back to the here and now. Something very strange was going on around them, and all she could think about was the hot hunk who seemed to have kidnapped them.
She licked her lips as she watched the uniformed woman lead Aria to a door, which slid open as they approached. A couple more uniformed men appeared and herded Crystal and the others toward another door. They were jostled together as they were urged into a corridor, led past several doors, then around a corner to the right. A moment later, they found themselves in another room, this one smaller than the last, with a couple of easy chairs and a couch around a large, oval coffee table. Terrien didn’t follow them into the room, and Crystal felt an immediate sense of loss.
Crystal and the others sat on the couch and huddled together. Crystal’s heart thundered in her chest. Something very strange was going on, but alien abduction?
“Where’s Kate?” Jenna asked, her voice thin.
Crystal’s body tensed as she glanced around and realized Kate was nowhere to be seen.
Eva patted Jenna’s hand. “It’s okay. Everything will be all right.”
