“Is something wrong, Dravexil”
 
 “When you said home… Where is home?”
 
 CHAPTER FIVE
 
 Zahra
 
 When he said he wanted to take me home, I didn’t think it would be a motherfucking giant ship. What is he? Where is he taking me? I don’t think he will hurt me but what is this shit?
 
 His skin…his pointed ears…the silver hair… the scales… the odd words… is he an alien? Oh my fucking god. He is, isn’t he? It all makes perfect sense. The odd conversations. The words he uses. The absolutely inhuman beauty this man is. His height and so much more. All of the signs were there.
 
 He’s a motherfucking alien, and I just agreed to fucking go home with him.
 
 “Gamyria is where I call home. You agreed to go with me. So I brought you back here to my ship. For now, I will show you what I have to offer you if you come with me. Until the others are back, then we will go back home.”
 
 “I can’t…”
 
 I let my words trail off as I think over what all he has said tonight. I’m too fucking drunk for this shit. Oh my god a fucking alien.
 
 “I don’t know what you think is going to happen here but I thought this was a one night stand type of deal and in the morning I would be going to make the walk of shame to meet my friends.”
 
 “Why would you walk in shame?”
 
 His answer makes me laugh, but only for a second. Yeah, not from here.
 
 “It’s an expression. We use it here after sleeping with someone we’ve just met and haven’t made it home the next morning before going somewhere in the same clothes from the night before. Not a huge deal really but that’s beside the point. I didn’t know you were a…” I wave my hand at his body and ship. “An alien.”
 
 “Alien? I’m a Gamyrian and I won’t hold you against your will but I do wish you would stay the night with me. Let me show you what I can give you if you choose me. A life with someone that will worship the very ground you walk on. I will pleasure you until your body weeps for me. Make you my world and show you exactly why you could be my queen.”
 
 “You may have nice words, but that doesn’t change the fact that this shit is wild. An alien was not on my 2025 card of twisted things that would happen. I’m struggling to fucking survive each day and now an alien wants me to go home with him. What is even happening?”
 
 “Why are you struggling to survive? Do you Earth humans not take care of their women? On my planet, we take care of everyone and make sure they want for nothing. They don’t struggle to survive, they thrive.”
 
 “Ha. Yeah, thrive. We don’t thrive. We work our asses off every day to pay bills just to live. We struggle to buy food, live a normal life, and seek healthcare. We are prisoners of this world and the life we want to live. The rich die alone and the poor just die.”
 
 “That sounds absolutely miserable. Why would anyone want to live on Earth?”
 
 “I ask myself that same question daily.”
 
 He carries me through the ship and a door slides open to the right and then closes once we step into the room. It’s a suite. So large and cozy looking. A kitchen is off to the right with an open floor plan that leads into a living space. A couch of sorts made of metal and piled with soft cushions and covers in purples and pinks.
 
 A room to the left leads off and as we pass the door, I can see a bed dripping with beautiful covers and pillows all over. Various odd furniture and lamps are all over and somehow it is cozy and welcoming. Not what I expected at all.
 
 Drainok takes a seat on the couch and my legs straddle his hips with my knees pressed into the cushion. I let my fingers fall from his shoulders and relax. What the fuck is happening? I feel like that thought has plagued me for the last hour and yet I’m no closer to understanding what is fucking real or all in my fucking drunk mind.
 
 “I don’t know what to do with this situation. This isn’t what I thought was going to happen tonight and honestly, I am drunk as shit. I expected to go to a man’s home and be fucked senseless and then sleep this shit off. So now I don’t know what to do.”
 
 “I can fuck you if you want, or you can sleep in my bed and I won’t do anything you don’t want to. Either way, I want you to stay here tonight so I can take care of you.”
 
 “Sleep. I need sleep.”
 
 I rub my eyes and then climb from his lap slowly. Careful to make sure I can stand up straight before letting go of the man before me. He puts his hands on my hips and guides me backwards as he stands up.
 
 “Come my little one. I will put you to bed and then in the morning we can talk about this some more. Maybe then you willhave a clear head and be willing to listen to me when I tell you that you are mine. Now and forever.”
 
 “See you can’t just say shit like that to a human. It makes it seem like you are kidnapping me or some shit. Like I don’t have a choice in this shit.”
 
 “The choice will always be yours, Dravexil.”
