Invasion of Her Heart Read Free Page B

closing his eyes, Jaxxon allowed the mist to flow through his body and imagined being outside the ship. Immediately, a light, airy sensation passed through him. A couple seconds of free-floating assailed him, followed by a tingling in the bottom of his stomach. Suddenly, Jaxxon felt hardness under his boots and intense heat on his entire body. He opened his eyes and glanced around at a large open space of black, hard ground. On the far side of the rough, ebony square stood half a dozen scraggly trees, but these wore green leaves instead of the deep purple of Azutu trees. Beyond them, a building of red brick boasted a huge picture of a scantily clad woman hanging onto a golden pole. She smiled down on the parking lot, her eyes cloaked in a come-hither look.
    Jaxxon studied the picture for a long moment. If all Earth women looked like that one, it would be difficult to choose a mate.
    Movement drew his attention. Volund strode to the black expanse and stepped up on it, stomping his feet.
    “What is that stuff?” asked Jaxxon.
    Once again, Volund held the glowing plate in front of him. “The computer states it’s what humans called a parking lot. It’s where they left their wheeled ships, their cars, trucks, vans and soovs when they didn’t need them.”
    “Soovs?”
    Holding out the plate, Volund pointed. “It’s English and means sports utility vehicle.”
    “This is one of the craziest worlds I’ve ever visited.” Perplexed by the bizarre language and scenery, Jaxxon shook his head and hoped he’d be able to assimilate.
    Volund gestured in the direction behind Jaxxon. “The animals’ tags indicate they’re that direction.”
    Jaxxon scowled at the heat assailing his body. He rummaged in his pack, withdrew a thin silver sheet with tiny seeds all over it, and pried one loose. Putting it in his mouth, he swallowed it and handed the sheet to his brother.
    “Thanks,” said Volund. He wrinkled his nose and drew in a deep breath. “The humidity here is unbearable.”
    Walking with his brother, Jaxxon surveyed the stone-like structures, long paths of the same substance, and the parking lots. They began seeing more and more old, rusting conveyances, the ‘wheeled ships’ as Volund had called them. The sun beat down on Jaxxon, but soon the seed began to work, and he didn’t worry about sunburn or sun poisoning any longer. However, he wished the seed would do something about the unbearable heat and humidity.
    “What sort of woman do you desire?” Jaxxon asked to keep his mind off his discomfort.
    Volund glanced at him with annoyance. “Keep your mind on your surroundings, brother. I told you the scanner detected hostile life forms.”
    “You can’t look and talk at the same time?” Jaxxon teased.
    “Fine.” With the scanner held out in front of him and his other hand poised over his weapon should he need it, Volund shot Jaxxon a mischievous grin. “I want a woman with fair hair.”
    “Agreed, and it should be very long so I can tie her up in it.” “Whose woman is this we speak of? Mine or yours?” Jaxxon laughed. “Sorry, go on.”
    “I want a female who is tall, one that can look me in the eyes, her legs long, ass firm with padding. I like large breasts, too.”
    “She should be very intelligent.”
    “Yes,” Volund nodded, “and clever with words so that she makes me laugh.”
    Jackson sighed as he studied their new environment. “It’s too bad we probably won’t find such a woman on this desolate planet. I highly doubt any such females exist here.”
    “True, but it was nice fantasizing about her.” “How much farther to Ino and Ka?” asked Jaxxon.
    Showing Jaxxon the scanner reading, Volund pointed. “I think we take that road to the left, but we’ll have to skirt the structure that has crumbled into it.”
    “Let’s go,” said Jaxxon. “This sun is intolerable, even with the aid of the seeds.”

    Volund sympathized with his brother. Despite what the ship computer
