CHAPTER TWO
Robyn and Doug were both bent at the waist, hands on their knees, taking in deep breaths.
"My God," said Doug.
"Oh, that was, that was, orgasmic," chimed Robyn.
They simultaneously stood upright, Doug's hand reaching out to take Robyn's. He pulled her to him, pressed her to himself his full length, and before taking her mouth, his thoughts were inside her head, "Feel that my sweet. I want you now," and then he buried his face in her neck holding onto her with all his strength.
Robyn understood what he was feeling in the very fiber of her being. It was incredible, their minds were linked. Every thought, every want, they experienced like a sexual coupling. They had arrived in Astrafon!
The two women stood there observing, smiling. Robyn and Doug shared the thought, "Do they feel what we're feeling? Are they in our minds?"
Doug suddenly spoke to the two, "Can you read our thoughts now? I feel as if we are not alone."
The senior woman's thought transferred to Doug, "Again we are not mind readers, but that said you must make an effort not to broadcast. And indeed, we are not alone," and she swept her arms out as if in a presentation, the people of Astrafon.
There before them as far as the eye could see were shimmering beings observing them. Some looked quizzical, others with hands to their lips in what looked like awe. Indeed, others had placed their hands upon their secret places looking upon them with wonderment filled faces, while others scowled and apparently judged.
"Well, just like home," quipped Doug. "I guess by the reaction on those faces, we've been broadcasting?"
Robyn reddened, so very aware of what her thoughts had been. The two Astrafon women smiled. The senior of the two, lifted her chin in the direction of the other, then swept her arms in reverse like a closing curtain, and they were alone again.
Robyn and Doug, still holding hands but with the fire of passion tamped down, looked around their environment. They were in a structure much like a minaret, a tower but not made of stone but of something that looked akin to glass. They had no understanding of how the people of Astrafon had been able to be seen on a horizontal plane. Indeed, now they could look down, they could look out, and all that could be seen was a shimmering city, much like one of their own, with its constant movement of people going to and fro attending to whatever it is Astrafonites do.
The two women motioned for Robyn and Doug to follow along behind them. A door in the wall whispered open, and they all stepped in. There was a feeling of descending but all that could be seen was rich green vistas, splashed with carpets of color which could only be flowers. There was a scent in the air like that of fresh rain. It was as if everything surrounding them was to give them comfort and a sense of ease. The feeling of descent stopped. Not like an elevator feeling at all, but just the absence of motion. A door whispered open. They stepped through and Doug and Robyn followed the two women. No thoughts passed between them.
The final passage led to a facility that had what looked like vehicles without wheels.
