Uxslore in a few hours.
The rest of the way to Uxslore was quiet. Sam dozed in the back of the ship while he and Niko navigated. Every now, and then Niko would come up with some crazy question to ask him which he reluctantly answered. A couple of hours later Niko navigated the ship to the landing area near their home. No one was there to greet them as the trio stepped outside in the cool air of Uxslore.

Samantha looked around at the alien world she had just stepped into. The air was cool against her skin and blew her hair gently around her face. She could smell something sweet but pleasant when she inhaled deeply, and would love to find out what the smell was, but she wasn’t about to ask her husband.
Every time she looked or thought about Jahan her anger would rise again. How the hell her life had taken such a drastic turn amazed her; one moment she was happily walking around on vacation, and the next she was a prisoner in some strange place being sold to the highest bidder. Some way, somehow she needed to find a way home especially before she became pregnant with her alien husband’s baby. She would have to fend him off for as long as she could because there was no way she would ever be able to abandon her child.
A vehicle was parked to the side of the landing area. Niko aimed a small, black, circular device at the vehicle, and it came to life. The doors opened automatically, and the engine purred quietly like a sleeping kitten. Her bare feet silently followed behind the pair until they reached the vehicle. Jahan motioned for her to get into the front seat where Niko had already slipped into on the other side. She slid to the middle of the seat when she realized Jahan was coming in right behind her. It was a tight fit, and she prayed the ride to where ever they were headed wasn’t going to take too long.
The doors closed with a hiss, and Niko steered the vehicle in the direction of the only road she had seen. Her right leg was pressed up against Jahan’s left leg, so she could feel his heat radiating through his pants as well as her own, making her feel uncomfortable in the tight space. She tried to shift her legs to a better position but was caught in the act, making her face burn in embarrassment.
“Does my touch make you feel uncomfortable?” Jahan asked with sarcasm.
His deep voice in the silence of the car startled her, making her jump. She looked up into his face. “What do you think?”
He let out a long deep breath then grinned. “We shall have to remedy that, won’t we?”
She felt the color drain from her face. Was he really serious about making her have his baby? Was he going to attack her as soon as they were alone for the first time? How in the world was she going to be able to fight off a man who was three times her size?
She diverted her eyes back to the front window as the vehicle sped along the winding road. She hadn’t notice that they were moving toward a large mountain on which she could see lights coming from a very large building. Niko had slowed the vehicle down when they came to the sharp curves, but not enough to calm her nerves as the vehicle came close to the drop-offs.
Trees with green and blue leaves dotted the side of the road as well as short red bushes. Periodically, she would get a glance of a flower, at least she thought they were flowers, before it would slip by. The vehicle continued to climb the mountain in continuous circles. About half way up she got a beautiful view of a large area of land covered in low green vines. She turned her head to try, and see it again in order to figure out what it was. Jahan must have noticed her curiosity because he spoke out
