TirzahsAllure Page 10

“Will those papers pass, Cain?”

  “I hope so. This man is supposed to be the best. He makes many, but he’s never had to make so many all at once.”

  “He asked for a lot of money.”

  “Yes, but we can get more money. Before I lift everyone out of your village, we will get more of the stones—enough for several life times. If necessary, we can sell more stones. For now, we have plenty of money. Henke, you’re very quiet back there.”

  “I miss Calira and the children. The visit was too brief.”

  “I understand. It won’t be long and we’ll all be together on our island.”

  * * * *

  It took the man, who preferred to remain nameless, four weeks to make all the passports, birth certificates, social insurance cards and driver’s licenses. When Cain looked at them all, he couldn’t tell they were forged. The man was happy with his five million and said he’d be more than happy to do business with Cain if he ever needed him again.

  Cain wasted no time in setting up Alishur Inc. now that he had ID for all the principals. He ran into another problem—the name for the island. The foreign government was not in favor of changing the name. It took a lot of phone calls, a hefty price to pay, and they finally agreed. Alishura Island was born.

  All in all, it took almost five months before everything was settled and paid for. Cain flew Henke or Opek to the village several times to prepare their people, and he also left Tirzah there for several days so she could teach them to write their name using the English alphabet. Signatures were needed for the fake paperwork, and on the applications to the foreign government. He was glad they were such fast learners and that they’d kept up teaching their children. Everyone could write and read, just not yet the complete English language.

  He’d also bought two offshore cruisers and had Opek and Henke take a course in how to operate the boats and safety regulations. Before they could settle on the island, everyone would go through customs so they had to have their stories straight in case the officers asked questions, yet another task for Tirzah.

  The time had almost arrived to start transporting them to their island. He looked at Tirzah, who was busy making up a list of supplies they needed to buy. That was their task for the next few days, buying sufficient clothing to make do for a while until they could take each family shopping, and to buy food, medical supplies—basically everything they needed. Frozen foods they bought on the last day. The massive freezers situated in the main house would soon be filled.

  The boats were loaded and Tirzah would travel on a boat with Henke and he would go alone to start transporting their people. It couldn’t be done in a day, not with each family first having to go through customs. In a few days, everyone would be together again.

  Opek stepped onto the boat. “Safe sailing, Opek. See you soon.”

  “Wait. Should I let the others know to demolish the village?”

  “The jungle will reclaim it. Just leave it as it is. Or maybe some savage tribe people will claim it in the future and learn something from living there. Let them know to pack any personal effects, instruments. But nothing left over from your ship should remain there. It’s a remote part of the Amazon where no man has ever set foot, but who knows what will happen in the future. We don’t want anyone to find anything that could point toward alien visitors.”

  “That’s why it would be best demolished. I’ll contact them.”

  He closed his eyes and Cain knew he was sending telepathic messages. If he could do that from this distance, then shouldn’t he be able to pick up any of his people if they were really in the USA?

  “Opek, you can communicate with your people from here. Couldn’t you pick up communications from my people if it’s indeed true that I do have people in America?”

  Opek sighed. “Cain, I’m sorry. I’ve tried, but had no luck so far. I will continue once we’re settled. If there are any of your people alive on this planet, we’ll find them. Like us, they are able to block communication. It could also be that through generations and not using it, like you, they don’t realize they have the ability and their elders don’t bother. That makes it very hard.”

  “Thank you. I can hope. It would be nice to have a family of my own, although Tirzah and I are now a family.”

  “I understand. It must have been very hard for you growing up all alone. But we must be off. And you have work to do.”

  Cain took Tirzah into his arms and kissed her long and hard. Tearing his lips away, he gazed into her eyes. “Soon we’ll always be together, sweetheart.” He licked a tear off her cheek. “No need to cry. The separation will be short.”

  “This is my first time on the big sea.”

  “I know. You’ll be fine. Before you realize, the sea will be your friend. Now go. They’re waiting for you.”

  He stood on the wharf and watched them sail away until the boats were mere specks on the horizon. He hurried back to his car and drove back to the rental place, then took a taxi to the airport.

  The helicopter, too, was loaded with supplies. After taking off, he had time to ponder. Suddenly a voice entered his mind, loud and clear.

  Cain, wish I could tell you, I love the sea. I love the boat.

  I can hear you.

  Oh, you can hear me?

  Yes, loud and clear.

  Now I’m crying.

  Happy tears, I hope?

  Yes, happy tears. Now you can concentrate yourself and find your family.

  We’ll see, babe. Too much to do yet, before I can relax. And this is very new for me. You and I are one—we’re so close, that’s probably why I can hear you now. I’m glad you like the sea and the boat.

  They talked back and forth during his flight to their village. It hardly seemed as if they were apart.

  As he arrived above the village and hovered low while waiting for the first ones to climb up, he noticed down below how they were busy demolishing everything. They’d wasted no time.

  The first eight were aboard, three adults and six children. The children were young, so their weight together was equal to three adults. He had to make at least six trips to transport them all to the island. Two of the children screamed, terrified of the ladder to start with then of the noisy helicopter. It took a while for the adults to calm them down.

  They finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

  Cain?

  I’ve got eight aboard, Tirzah. Two of the children were very afraid.

  It’s all very strange for them.

  The adults are excited. Sorry, I can’t remember everyone’s names yet.

  You will learn. You also need to learn to block your communication so you can talk to me privately. Right now, Opek, Henke, and the ones with you can hear everything you say in your mind.

  Hell. That’s not good. I’d better watch what I say. I should be able to pick up another load this afternoon. I might be able to transport everyone in three days. Some of the young ones are just babies. I can have ten of them aboard.

  You will be on the island before us?

  I don’t know. Probably. The copter travels faster than the boats.

  Their conversation was interrupted by one of the men traveling with him. “How far is the island, Cain?”

  “What is your name? I’m sorry, I haven’t learned all your names yet.”

  “I’m Torzo and this is my wife, Hanaka and my oldest daughter Zieta. Three of the six children are Zieta’s and the other three are our grandchildren. Zieta will take care of them until you pick up their parents.”

  “I’ll try and remember your names. It will take a while,” Cain said. “We’ll be flying about four hours. If all goes well with customs, I should be able to pick up more people this afternoon.”

  “We are so excited. It’s been many years since we saw an ocean, a beach. So long, the memories have faded.”

  They were quiet again, and Tirzah didn’t contact him, so his thoughts again strayed to a family of his own. He was in his thirties. Why had his parents left him in the
park? If they lived as long as Tirzah’s people, surely they could still be alive? How many of the black cats had ended up on Earth? What were the black cats in the forest? They didn’t have shifting abilities, yet they looked very much like a smaller version of himself.

  “If we had the answers to those same questions, we’d have no problem finding your family. We’ve often wondered ourselves,” Torzo said. “Are the smaller black cats a mix of the black cat tribe from our planet and Earth people? But there are other cats, too. Maybe they are just cats indigenous to this planet.”

  “Now that I have telepathic ability, I have to learn to block my thoughts. Some thoughts are private.”

  “I’m sorry, Cain. It’s hard to ignore someone’s voice in your head.”

  “I suppose. How do you block other people from hearing your thoughts?”

  “You concentrate. The same as you would concentrate to block out sound you do not want to hear.”

  “I’ll have to practice and in the meantime I’ll try not to think private thoughts.”

  Torzo helped to pass the time by asking a lot of questions about the island and about Earth’s culture. Cain was glad he’d bought a stack of laptops, cell phones and tablets. It was another plus that the island had internet access and TV reception. They would all learn fast.

  Going through customs didn’t take long at all. The officer barely glanced at the paperwork and the passports and quickly stamped them. Before they realized, they were on their way to their new home, but only after Cain had taken them to a nearby restaurant for a good lunch. There was no food on the island yet and he only had a limited supply in the helicopter. He helped them choose their lunch and drinks, amused at their gasps of surprise, as they tasted their food. The ice cream desserts mesmerized the little ones and it took a lot of persuasion to get them to eat it faster. He was anxious to get to the island and return for the next load of people.

  He felt like Santa Clause watching their expressions and listening to their comments when they set foot on their new homeland. Sometimes they reverted back to their native language. He decided to make a point of asking for a translator once they were all settled, so he could learn to speak and understand their language as well.

  After driving them to the cabins, he told them to take their pick and that for now, connected families would occupy one cabin until they could get it all sorted out. He left two coolers filled with sandwiches, fruit and drinks with them and returned to the helicopter to pick up another load.

  Chapter Fourteen

  Three days later, the compound was completely demolished, the metal from the ship they’d used to build some of the houses and make the tables, buried. Of course, there was evidence that the spot had once been occupied, but not enough for anyone to ever become suspicious—not unless they started digging. The jungle would take care of the rest.

  Cain was glad when he drove the last of them to the cottages and that the two boats had arrived safely.

  “Listen up, everyone! Each couple can now choose their own cabin. There are plenty to choose from. They’re all much the same except for color inside and furnishing. Some have three bedrooms, others have four bedrooms.”

  “You mean I can have my own room?” a youngster shouted.

  Cain laughed. “You’ll have to take that up with your parents.”

  “Who gets to live in the big house?” Ranata asked.

  “No one. I discussed it with Opek and Henke and the big house will be our clubhouse, a place where we can hold gatherings, celebrations, meetings, or just relax. We will have an office there, a medical room, and we can probably find uses for many of the rooms. If you’ll all go to the big house right now, there’s a computer and other electronics waiting for you there. Opek, Henke and Tirzah will teach you how to work with it all. Welcome to Alishura Island!”

  Cain and Tirzah walked hand in hand to the cottage she’d already chosen. Fortunately, no one else had claimed it first. It was set apart from the others and quite private. Though most of the cabins had a lot of privacy, this one was even more so and very close to the beach.

  Cain stopped her from entering. “No, madam, that’s not how it goes.”

  He saw her eyes widen then little lights twinkled in them as he scooped her up into his arms, pushed the door open with his hip and carried her inside.

  “Welcome to our new home, my bride.”

  “I can’t wait to try out the bed,” she said softly against his neck. “I’m so happy, Cain.”

  “The biggest part is over. After everyone has settled in, and we’ll give them some time until everyone knows English well, the next thing is to look into home schooling for the kids, and even some of the older ones. Who knows, if they can get their high school certificates maybe some of them will want to go to college or university. That would mean them moving to the USA and living in the city.” He laid her on the bed.

  Within seconds, she’d stripped and wantonly spread her legs. “I’m aching, Cain. It’s been too long,” she whispered, her eyes glowing, her face flushed.

  “Long?” Deliberately, he took his time in taking off his clothes, though his cock was rock hard and he ached to take her. “It’s only been a few days. Lord, woman, you’re insatiable. I’ll never keep up with you.”

  “You will. Cats are strong and virile.”

  Her voice was husky, her pheromone scent drifted around him. He stripped out of his jeans and kicked them aside, then knelt beside the bed, pulled her close to the edge and spread her legs wider. Oh, but he could gaze at her pinkness, the soft white fur that covered the lips, her clit that was engorged and throbbed so hard he could see it pulse. He licked her creamy juices that dribbled down her bum crack and ran his tongue all the way up her slit several times.

  “Oh, yes, Cain, yes, I love it when you do that,” she shouted.

  He rubbed her clit with his thumb and entered her with his fingers. Using his other hand, he entered her anal canal. She writhed beneath him, shouted for more, but he needed her and fast or he’d come all over the floor.

  He stood, and pulling her hips up, entered her with one thrust. Her legs wrapped around him, so he pulled her up until she sat on his arms. “Oh, baby, what you do to me,” he whispered against her hair.

  Cupping her buttocks, he moved her up and down and exploded within seconds. “Too fast,” she muttered as she nibbled his ear.

  “There’s plenty more where that came from,” he said, “but first, we’ll do something different.”

  “What’s that?”

  “Let’s go for a swim.”

  “The sharks you told me about?”

  “We have to be careful. We won’t go too deep. When we’re settled, the men will build a safe zone into the ocean—an underwater fence so the sharks can’t get through. I’ll beat you to the water.”

  “Oh, no you won’t.”

  Within seconds, a white streak flew past him. “That’s not fair. You’re cheating!”

  He didn’t shift. When he got to the ocean, she’d shifted out of her cat and stood waiting for him at the edge. “You’re going to pay for that.” He picked her up, and under much protest, ran into the ocean with her and dumped her into the water, just as a wave came rolling in. She surfaced spluttering.

  He was already horny again. Watching her frolic in the waves, laughing like a child, turned him on like never before. He tackled her, causing her to fall to the sand. Within seconds, he was on top of her and inside her waiting warmth. Waves washed over them, but they hardly noticed as he kneaded her breasts and drowned in the honey wonder of her kiss. She wrapped her legs around his waist and held him tight as he rammed into her. Her scream overpowered the roar of the waves as she exploded at the same time he burst loose. Still inside her, they rolled over in the wet sand, through the waves, their lips locked in a never-ending kiss.

  Until a shout interrupted them.

  “Is it safe to come in? Hey, you two, that’s enough,” Senki yelled. Taran stood behind her with his arms around h
er.

  “We’ve been caught,” Cain said. Although he hadn’t understood them, he knew, approximately, what they’d said.

  “Senki and Taran will soon mate forever. Isn’t it great? Maybe we’ll have families at the same time and our children can go grow up together.”

  “A wedding coming up huh? I’ll have to teach you all about weddings on Earth. You and I have to get married officially yet. Maybe we can make it a double wedding.”

  “Oh, wow. That would be great. You’ve shown me wedding pictures. Can I have a beautiful white long dress?”

  “You can have a dress fit for a queen, my love. And then we’ll celebrate Earth custom.”

  “Senki, too?”

  “Yes, Senki, too.”

  Senki and Taran joined them. They played like kids, though Cain was on the constant lookout for shark fins. Dusk fell and his stomach rumbled. “I’m starving. How about we go home and eat?”

  “Can Senki and Taran eat with us? They are my best friends.”

  “Sure. You’ll have to play translator because they haven’t mastered the language yet. I’ll be very happy when everyone can speak perfect English.”

  “I can teach you my language.”

  “Sure. But then you can’t talk secrets anymore,” he said, chuckling. “I’ve asked Calira for a translator implant as soon as one is available, so I can learn your language.”

  “That’s great, but I have no secrets from you.”

  “Good. What are we going to have for dinner?”

  “Fish. You should see the fish we caught while we were on the boat.”

  “Sounds good. Maybe we’ll barbecue.”

  “Barbecue?”

  “Yes. You’ll see. Just get the fish ready and whatever else, I’ll do the rest.”

  “I’ll tell Senki and Taran.”

  He watched her run up to her friends and listened to their chatter and laughter. Arms around each other, the three walked in front of him until they got to their cabin.

  “We’ll go and prepare the meal. You can try and teach Taran some English,” Tirzah said.

  “Ah, she’s giving me orders already. Only if you bring me a beer.” He made it sound like an order, but smiled sweetly and blew her a kiss.
