Bill and the Space War! (Bill in Space (Erotic Fantasy)) (6 page)

Ariella sighed.  She had used a lot of power but managed to
take them from far outside the system.  She was now cloaked. 

Earth?  Why?  The humans had incredible potential to give
her energy through sex, but that couldn’t be the reason.  She couldn’t actually
remove a Sprisi without killing the host, no matter how much power she had.

Was there a weapon on Earth?  Or was it the Humans
themselves, and I was too young to see the possibilities or bring them to
fruition?

Ariella said, “Was the Sprisi right?  Is it too late?  What
should we do?”

She hated sounding like that, her questions sounded hopeless. 
She hated not having an answer.

Bill said confidently, “We go to Earth, and you scan every
inch of it until you find a clue to this.  It makes sense actually.  I have
been trying to wrap my head around this for a while.  I could understand the
Earth forgetting the wider universe over time, but it was obvious to me there
used to be contact.  Dragons, Elves, Demons, Angels.  All of you appearing in tales
or pieces of religions on my world, with descriptions that match the four of
you.  We even have descriptions of evil possessing spirits in all the cultures
of Earth.  Even the name differences can be easily explained by the intervening
years.

“What I couldn’t figure out is why the universe forgot about
us.  That doesn’t seem possible yet none of you recognized a human as a known
race, that means something was done after that first war so you would forget
us.  I still don’t know what, or how, but I know part of why.  It was so if or
when the Sprisi tried to invade again, we would be safe unless they came across
our world by accident.  So whoever was possessed in early infiltration efforts wouldn’t
know and the Sprisi couldn’t find out.

“It is a big universe after all, I don’t even want to try
and figure the odds on them finding us.  It should have at least kept us safe
from them until the ancient Dravii could go to Earth.  Then do what they needed
to do, either to, or with us to banish them again back to their planet,
whatever that may be.  Unfortunately that is where there plan failed.

“Maybe if we are lucky there is some hint in what happened. 
Even if you are too young now, the universe will wait while you grow up.  Of
course, that is a worst case scenario, at least on the side of us winning this
somehow.  Does that make any sense or am I grasping for shit out of
desperation?”

----------------

Ariella thoughtfully nodded.  It’s thin but it fits.  Of
course, that assumes they left a record on Earth, they may have just limited
the information to ancient Dravii, if that’s the case…  She would have to wait
until she grew up
and
could figure out what was done.  Problem is they would
be hiding a very long time.  She wouldn’t be an ancient Dravii for close to
three hundred thousand years.  All that time lowered the odds considerably that
the Sprisi would run across the planet before they were ready.

It also stretched the imagination that she accidentally
found the Earth…  The one place she needed to go for the help she didn’t even
know she needed yet.  Could something have led her there?  She found that
thought gave her hope.

She set a roundabout course to Earth that will take weeks of
travel before they arrive.  She wanted to make sure they aren’t followed in any
way.

She grins sheepishly and said, “Well, that long distance
teleport took a lot of energy, I could use some…”  She just trailed off.

She watched sadly as Bill and Tiffani looked awkwardly at
each other.  She could easily read their deep love, they loved each other so
much it hurt, but they were separated by Bill’s jealousy and Tiffani’s fears. 
It was much more than the sex, the wall between them was keeping them from
simply enjoying each other’s company.  That was hurting them much more.

Larissa growled in frustration at them, then dragged Tiffani
off to one of the other bedrooms.

She and Gwen took Bill to the main bedroom and the three of them
made love, but none of their hearts were really in it.  It felt good, and they
loved each other deeply, but no one could get the dark thoughts out of their
heads. 

She could feel Bill was twisted up inside, he ached to be
with Tiffani but was afraid if he was it would turn into an angry possessive
fuck.  Some instinctive need to claim her and show her she was his, and he was
horrified by the possibility of treating her that way.

She and Gwen were kind of overwhelmed by the day’s defeats, despite
their escape they truly had failed, the empire was lost.  They also were worrying
for Bill and Tiffani, they could read them both and neither was really in a
good mind space right now.  They headed to Earth, their hope for finding a
solution there tattered and slim.  Would they find anything to turn this
around, or was it already too late?

The old man looked up and did not like what he was seeing. 
He was starting to wonder if it was too late.  He was old and weak, his time
was almost up.  The one he saw coming was too young, inexperienced.  He could
sense their resignation, almost despairing of all hope.  And the young man,
Bill.  Could he be trusted?  Or would he turn out like his ancestors, an even
worse scourge than the Sprisi themselves?

He would wait a little longer and watch.  After all, what
was a few more days on top of how long he had already waited, guarded, and
watched.

Bill in Space will continue and be concluded in book three,
Bill
and the Sprisi
, which will be released soon.  I truly hope you are enjoying
the story so far…

I want to take a moment to say relationships and the way
they tie together with both emotions and instincts is very complex and quite
often contradictory in nature.  (I know, major understatement.)  I took a single
case view as to how I see Bill reacting to things, if I seemed like I was
generalizing all humanity that was not my intent.  Obviously the way he reacted
isn’t how everyone would, although I believe everyone can relate to jealousy
and most would be torn by it.  Some people can and happily do have open
relationships, I believe most cannot, even if it sounds good to the mind... 
The premise of book two was pretty much…  Well, what if he was in a place where
cheating didn’t exist?  Where open relationships were the norm and marriage didn’t
even exist.  He knows she isn’t cheating, but his instincts and emotions don’t
etc... 

I hope I didn’t bore anyone or dwell too much.  I think
fantasy erotica should be mostly fun and of course
partly
unrealistic
where the sex is concerned. (It is a fantasy after all, not a brooding drama.) 
But I wanted to introduce some internal challenges for the characters in
addition to what was happening on the outside, especially Bill.  Any feedback
would be appreciated although I should be out with book (novella) three fairly
soon.  But still, any advice may inform my next project.
