Jilane moved swiftly through the undergrowth, her gloved hand raised before her face to protect her from the low lying branches. She was third in the line of four crew members that slipped silently through the steamy jungle on base level Kalyana.
Sweat trickled between the valley of her breasts underneath the green mesh skin suit. She blew out her breath, teasing the blonde feathery fringe clinging to her glistening triangular face. Despite being the only female natural engineer on the exploration, and lacking the physical prowess of the regular crew, she kept up with their rapid pace set by Rayan. It was an hour to sundown, their scheduled curfew for when they must return to the ship.
Jilane had sought special leave to collect specimens of what she had dubbed the Kaleidoscope flower for its filmy, translucent petals that reflected a rainbow of colours. She had discovered them among the unusual rockery surrounding the lap of the huge waterfalls, their strong, musky perfume drawing her to them. The rocks had been silvery and shiny, almost metallic like, and surprising heavy.
It was on the return trip to the Olyant that Rayan had discovered evidence of two footed beasts. Over the past few days members of the crew had caught and stunned a number of carnivorous beasts and transported them back to the Olyant for study. Yet the apparent lack of intelligence puzzled the physiological scientists, and a number of theories had been developed as to which sat at the top of the food chain. The possibility of a two legged beast may either prove or dispel their theories.
Jilane much preferred the study of plant and soil than to that of breeding patterns and sticky secretions of feral beasts. Yet the thought of observing the animal in its natural habitat before being transported back to her home world of Lokana urged her onwards.
The terrain was sloped, the dark, rich soil covered with spiky green clumps that threatened to trip her booted feet up. After what seemed like hours Rayan halted. His hand motioned back as he turned, his narrowed eyes searching the tall trees surrounding them.
Jilane stopped gladly, hands on hips, head tipped forward as she drew in gulps of air. Jilane was small and slender, lacking the advantage of their long, muscular strides, and built for swift speed over small distances rather than endurance. She had been required to pass a physical for this mission, yet it had been less stringent for the scientific engineers.
Something flicked in the corner of her eye, before a soft whistling sound reached her ears. She stilled, then cried out as pain sliced at her wrist as something twined around it. Without warning she was tugged brutally forward. She fell to her knees amidst the cries of her crew as the ground opened up beneath them. Light blinded her as the stunners flashed, and she desperately sought to release herself of thick leather cord wrapped around her wrist as she dangled over the edge of huge pit. She was dragged along the ground, her bound arm stretched out before her as she squirmed and writhed, her young body cavorting before her attackers. It was several seconds before she realised she was no longer being dragged, and several more before she noticed long feet planted widely before her.
Jilane's heart pounded as her wide lavender eyes rose over thick, muscular legs with their sprinkling of black hair, coming to rest upon the long, thick shaft at their apex. He was naked, her mind registered slowly. Completely without an ounce of clothing. She swallowed hard, feeling faint as the massive cock jerked beneath her horrified gaze. Her channel clenched as she imagined herself speared on that intimidating length. Moaning under her breath as an unfamiliar shivery heat stole over her, she dragged her eyes up over the bronzed, muscular chest and arms to the angular face with curious green eyes. Fear choked her, and she renewed her struggles with the cord, yet it clung to her skin as though coated with an adhesive agent.
She cried out as he wrapped the cord around his fist until he had drawn her onto her knees before him. She reared back, struggling not to come into contact with his warm flesh as she her mind boggled at how she came to find herself in this horribly submissive position. Though even kneeling before him, her eyes barely reached on level with the mushroom tip of his cock. He was massive, a brute. Turning her face, she waited for the death blow. The sounds of struggle had silenced around her, overlaid by a melodious, alien tongue and sounds of what must be laughter.
A blush stole over her cheeks, for surely they were entitled to their amusement. They had easily overcame their crew, albeit a small one, but one which surely had the technological advantage against these naked beasts that seemed a throwback to the early evolutionary ages. They were surprisingly human like, yet their lack of clothing clearly indicated their low intelligence and bestial nature.
Her eyes squeezed shut as another leather cord feathered over her breasts bound tightly beneath the regulation skin suit. She knew that released from their strictures, the tiny handfuls with their rosy tips were of little interest to the opposite sex, and she prayed that this would aid her now. She winced as a warm hand splayed over her breasts, clutching at the mesh, before drawing back, taking with it a large scrap of her suit. Her breasts rose and fell, their swells thrusting through her torn suit.
More laughter reached her ears, and she moaned as fingers glided over her exposed flesh, making her goose pimple and her nipples tighten. How far would their curiosity extend? she wondered as they groped her with surprising gentleness.
She gasped as she was suddenly lifted by her wrists, her feet dangling off the ground. He simply gazed at her as she kicked and squirmed, pink face. Then with a smile, he tossed her over his broad shoulder. A huge palm splayed over her bottom, pinning her firmly against his shoulder as she drew in air.
He moved, and she squirmed against him, her eyes unwillingly drawn to the firm cheeks that moved with seductive grace. They were tanned a deep bronze, with no suggestion of ever having been marred by the line of a loin cloth.
Arching up slightly, she tried to catch sight of her crew through the strands of her mane that had come loose in her struggles. A large circular pit had opened up between the trees, one of the most ancient of hunter tactics. Completely unexpected, yet frighteningly effective.
Dammit, she didn't even know if her crew had survived the fall, nor did she have a weapon to fight God knows how many of them. Frustration and fear beat at her as he carried her through the jungle, back towards the waterfalls.
She pressed the locator on her wrist band that sent a silent distress signal to the Olyant. How long would it be before the Olyant sent out a search and rescue team? What would these naked barbarians do with her in the meantime? Eat her, or something more sadistic, like torture or even rape? A shudder raced through her and tears welled in her eyes.
The falls were close, the thundering water filling her ears as her captor moved gracefully over the rocks. Had these beasts followed them from the waterfall, or had known there were here all along, from the moment the Olyant arrived?
The cool spray dampened her suit as they moved along a narrow path behind the cascading water. She heard the sound of heavy stone shifting, then darkness fell over her as she was carried through a stone archway. Her captor strode down uneven steps hewn from that strange, silvery stone, each jolt seeming to push the air from her lungs. They descended deeper beneath the falls, winding lower and lower, their path lit by torches mounted on the stone walls.
Oh, God, there was a whole underground maze of tunnels and caverns. How had such as important discovery gone undetected by the Olyant's sensors?
They passed dozens of archways leading off the steps before her captor strode through one. She was carried through a series of small caverns filled with strange metal and leather objects, and carved wooden tools. Oh, God, what was this place?
She felt the press of stone against her ankles, and she was gently eased onto her back onto some sort of stone table. The world swayed dizzily as she felt her wrists drawn above her head and bound to a hook there. She felt her gloves tugged from her fingers, and the band torn from her wrist. She tried to see what the man who took her band did with it, but others blocked her view. She was distracted by her ankles being dragged wide apart and bound to the table, her knees up high, her feet flat on the cold stone.
She struggled, her back arching off the stone slab, yet her bindings refused to give. Fear welled in her at the curious faces gazing down at her wiggling on the slab, her pale breasts bared. There were four of them, their width and height alone intimidating, yet bound as she was, terror swirled low in her belly.
The warm palm of her captor splayed over her belly, pinning her down as he ran a sharp stone dagger beneath her torn suit, slicing along her underarm to her wrist. A whimper escaped her as he then turned his attention to her other arm. Her belly fluttered beneath the press of his hand, and her lashes fluttered close as she was slowly stripped of her mesh suit. He began at her right ankle, following the rise and fall of her bent leg until he reached her hip. When he finished her second leg, she was bare except for the strip across her belly and down between her thighs.
