This is the third part of a series 'Dark Side of the Moon' about a girl named Jessie who wakes up in an alien base on the dark side of the Moon. Here she meets a slightly older man named Eric who claims know her intimately. Despite the bizarre circumstances, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to him sexually. In the second installment she discovered some dark truths and took out her rage on Eric. In this installment she reconsiders and digs into origin story and the choice he had to make that led him to Jessie.
This story is evolving as a slow burn focusing on character and plot with some eroticism. Thus, if you're looking for a stroke and go--this is not the story for you.
It also relies heavily on alien abduction and UFO lore. While I mention Whitley Strieber, Budd Hopkins and Dr John E. Mack also influence the story. The idea of a moon base is inspired by Haim Eshed's, former chief of Israeli Space Security, claim that there is a base on Mars staffed by human military and representatives of a 'Galactic Federation'.
If you don't have a taste for nonconsent or sci-fi please turn the channel now. Realism doesn't live here; fantasy does.
The name Eric and date of his abduction are an homage to the 'Sphere' series by Testudo. This is not the same character, nor is it the same setting or circumstances as 'Sphere'.
All characters engaged in sexual activity are over 18.

I cut a bite of the steak and played with it, summoning the courage to take a bit. It smelled delicious. But at the same time, it felt like a betrayal taking food offered by someone I was fucking under the influence of an alien drug. Eric watched me closely, waiting for me to take the first bite before he began eating.
I took a bite, and it was a familiar blend of seasonings. "This tastes just like..."
"Your father's." He cut into his slab of meat. "You showed me his recipe the second time you were abducted and brought to me. I wanted to give you a taste of home."
"That's sweet, it's perfect."
He chuckled. "It wasn't the first time or two."
"Did I ask for A1?" He nodded in reply, not a good sign since I believe steak sauce is an abomination if the steak is good. "What try did I stop asking?"
"You stopped after my fifth try."
"Sorry." I said with a mouthful of steak. It was delicious and I was really hungry. As we ate, I studied him. His shoulders were slumped, and he only looked at me when I spoke to him. "And I'm sorry for being a bitch earlier."
He smiled. "I know. I hate this part of our reunions. You have every reason to hate me, trust me. I hate myself for being here."
I reached for his arm. "If it's true that you're here against your will then you have nothing to feel sorry about. I'd like to hear your story. I don't imagine it's technically the first time either."
"No, it's not." He sighed, I could tell it was a painful memory. I regretted asking for probably the fifth time.
After a pause to gather his courage, he began. "It started in October 2011, I was going to a local junior college. Cheap tuition and living at home meant no student loans for my first two years. It wasn't a bad drive from the farm to Troy. This is the area that Whitley Strieber wrote about being abducted from in the '80s and '90s."
"Whitley who?" I asked. "I've never heard of her."
He chuckled. "Him. He's an author who wrote some novels and some non-fiction books about his experiences as an alien abductee. He lived in NYC but had a country house in the Valley. Not far from where I grew-up in a house also out in the middle of nowhere...

I was sitting in my bedroom reading 'Ready Player One', I was missing a party because my parents were out of town and I was watching my 15-year-old sister, Lisa, for the weekend. Suddenly a blue light flooded my room as the house began to shake.
"Eric!" Lisa screamed from her bedroom. I leapt out of bed and scrambled to her room. I stumbled a few times, the house felt like it was going to rattle apart but I somehow made it. A moody teenager jealous of her privacy, she kept her door locked.
"Open the door, Lisa!"
"Eric! Get in here! I'm scared!" She screamed back at me. I had no choice but to put my shoulder to the flimsy door. I entered her room through a storm of splintered wood. She was sitting up in bed, her sheets clutched to her t-shirt covered chest. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close.
"Let's get to the car, drive away--up to the clearing so trees don't fall on us." I spoke. My presence seemed to be calming her down.
"O...o...okay." I took my sister's hand as the light disappeared and the power snapped off. The house had already been dark, but the lack of any ambient light only plunged it into a deeper black.
I fumbled through the upstairs hallway, trying to find the stairs. My sister stumbling behind me. I could feel her shaking through my grip on her hand. "I'm scared Eric, maybe we should hide in mom and dad's room--we could use Daddy's shotgun..."
I paused for a moment, she had a point. However, something I couldn't put my hand on was driving me to flee the house.
