electrically charged. After a few moments if all came back especially when a voice popped in to my head with the greeting Good morning Alex. Try not to panic. Remember what happened, and where you are I thought to myself that I was coping remarkably well, for someone transported to another world via a portal. Kidnapped twice and asleep in bed with a total stranger. I calmed down a little, then panicked again when I looked over as a pair of gorgeous indigo blue eyes looked back into mine. This was something that I may be able to get used to, but then I backtracked and thought better of it. This was someone who had kidnapped me, and once again expected me to become their mate with no word of complaint or real discussion. Patros stretched his arms above his head then I realised that he was naked. Not a stitch on and also aroused. Oh dear I thought, and I started to panic once again. He greeted me with “Good morning Alex, It looks like today is the day you become my mate.” A huge smile growing on his face. I shot out of bed and into the bathroom without a backwards glance. As I muttered under my breath. ”The cheek of some people!” to no one, and everyone at the same time. I spent some time in the shower and dressing myself. Although, I felt very dirty because I had put on the same clothes I had worn since I arrived. Finally, I decided to go back into the lair and face the music, as I really didn't have much choice in the matter. I wondered what my friends and family would be thinking back on Earth. Dad would probably be frantic once he realised that I had gone missing. Mum died of cancer when I was seventeen and I had no brothers or sisters. I never did get to the bed and breakfast accommodation I planned to so they should have got in touch with the agency by now. Someone would find my car some time soon in Snowdonia, but no evidence of a body. Hot tears began to roll slowly down my face. I walked back in to the cave as Patros was putting plates full of scrambled egg and some rustic bread on the table. He looked up at me and quickly moved to my side. Took me in his arms, hugged me tightly and said. “ Please don't cry Alex. I am not a bad person and hope you’ll grow to love me over time.” This made me see red and I shouted back at him “I'm not crying about that! I'm crying because my dad will be upset and I can't let him know that I am alive.” “ Dad?” Patros said, and I heard Talos reply. It means father on Alex's world. At this Patros looked more upset than before “Oh!” all he said. I walked over to the table and quickly sat down in an attempt to organise my thoughts. What was I going to do? What could I do? The short answer was nothing. At this moment in time unable to change my immediate destiny but I might be able to formulate a plan. Patros meanwhile stood close to Talos, staring into each other’s eyes in communication from which I was excluded. Patros all the time gently rubbing Talos's snout. Patros came over to me, pulled me up and ever so gently raised his right hand as he lightly grazed his knuckles down my cheek. Catching a small strand of hair, he proceeded to twirl it around his finger. His left hand tenderly pressed into the small of my back as he pulled me into him. Whilst his lips softly met with mine in a feather light kiss. The act was so tender it made my heart ache. Electricity began first in my toes, spreading like wildfire through my veins engulfing me in liquid fire. Such a poignant kiss that a lonely tear escaped and began to trickle down my cheek. The only comparison I was able to make was that of my younger years and I fell, my mother would gently kiss the graze better. This is where the comparison ended. Patros leaned into me and pulled me closer. His kisses more demanding. I savoured the soft stubble on his chin as he pulled me even closer. Unable to resist I put my arms around his neck. His tongue lapping at the seam of my lips demanding entrance. The
