Leaving Earth by Liza O'Connor




A Warning from someone who knows...
“We all like to believe we are masters of our fate. However, usually it isn’t true. Somewhere, a person exists, sometimes completely unknown to you, whose slightest action impacts your life.”


Blurb
Billionaire David Ross has created a sanctuary for an alien species that superficially resembles Earth’s black panther. This race is superior in both strength and longevity to humans. David’s plan is to seed a new world with the offspring of these aliens and selected humans. Contrary to the covenants of the project, he sends a special young woman named Jesse to the island against her will. Her arrival changes more than he planned.


Excerpt


Mechal studied her in silence as she studied him. “You are making an excellent start,” he assured her. “Accepting that there is another species on Earth that can commingle with humans is not an easy matter to digest. Most, when they first come, are determined to believe we are just nice people raising mountain lion and panther cubs. Once they set upon this conclusion, then they fight for weeks within themselves as the truth threatens every moment to destroy their created reality. I would not wish you to endure that struggle.”
He carried Tanga back to the crib and returned to Jesse. “I sense no fear in you, no panic. Thus, I would like to give you irrefutable proof that I am the child of an alien being, one that just happens to resemble your native black panther. I do this not to frighten you, for I would not wish to frighten you, but because it will keep you from creating an assumption that slows your acceptance of the truth.”
He climbed upon her bed, straddling her. He sensed her immediate alarm. “Don’t be afraid, I will not touch you. I only wanted to stand where you could see me. The human man before you is a forced shape. I was born a cub, just as Tanga, except my fur was black, of course. In my natural shape, I’m still a cat, but I’m not a beast. I retain all my logic and control, so you have no reason to fear me when I change.”
He studied her a moment longer and then began to change.
Jesse watched as Mechal’s handsome black face became that of a beautiful giant panther. The panther purred soft, relaxing purrs, and then resumed human form. He stroked her face. “Now you see the truth of your new family. Two races joining to create a new and better race. And you are a part of it.” He kissed her softly on the lips.
Her senses must be returning. She had unquestionably felt that kiss. She could see the concern in his face. He was afraid he had gone too far too quickly.
She wanted to tell him she was fine. She was, in fact, relieved that he had proven Mike’s story, so she need not doubt the truth for a moment. Yet, more than anything, she wanted to kiss him back, to experience that jolt of pleasure again. Unfortunately, she remained paralyzed and her body mute.
She could sense his doubt and uncertainty. She willed him not to doubt himself.
He stood up and walked over to the crib. He then looked at Jesse in confusion. “Was that you in my head, telling me not to doubt myself?”
Yes, Jesse spoke in her head. It was me! Tell me you can hear me!
“I can,” he answered. “It is very faint, but I can hear you. My God, you’re telepathic.”
If you can really hear me, then kiss me again, she replied. That way I’ll know it is not just wishful thinking.
Mechal smiled for the first time. It was the smile of a shark with sharp, triangular, pointed teeth. It gave him a sinister, dangerous appearance, but before she could rally any significant fear, his mouth was upon hers, and her mind exploded with pleasure. When he finally pulled back, she pleaded for him not to stop.
“Are you sure you would rather not wait until the paralysis has worn off?”
But I can feel you, she insisted. You fill my mind with pleasure.
“If you grow frightened, tell me to stop and I will try, but after a certain point of pleasure, I can’t stop.”
I’m not afraid of you, she assured him.
“Even if I become a panther?”
I’m not afraid of you.
Mechal growled with pleasure as he removed the sheet and opened her robe. “You are very beautiful!” He knelt and kissed every portion of her body. She opened her mind to him, so he would know her pleasure and not doubt himself further. By doing so, his pleasure magnified and commingled with hers until she was not certain whose pleasure she experienced. Not that it mattered. She had never experienced anything half so wonderful.
When he slid inside her, her mind felt as if it were exploding with happiness. As he pushed deeper and deeper within her, she felt a wholeness she had not known was possible. She felt his intense pleasure when he emptied his seed deep within her womb. He nipped the tip of his finger and then pressed it into her mouth. “Suckle my finger.”

Being a Leo

My birthday has always been difficult for me. It's not that I have any kind of stigma about getting older or anything along those lines. It's just that to me, birthdays should be fun. I go out of my way to make sure my friends and family have fun on their birthday but for me, not so much.

As a kid, it was hard to get friends together for a party. With my birthday being at the beginning of August, it was difficult with friends gone on summer break. School didn't start until the end of the month and by then, it was too late to do anything. Then enter adulthood. No birthday parties. No cards with money from relatives. Just work. Rent and other bills took priority. My husband tries to bring the fun for me, but overall, my birthday usually just brings out the blah in me.

Except this year.

Now last month I had to use up all my vacation time I had earned so far at my new job to be out for my surgery. This meant I would have to work, but I didn't care. My husband cared far more about that than I did. I can't quite explain, but this year felt different. This was the first year in a very long time that I haven't felt stressed. I bought myself a pair of 'potion purple' Minnie Mouse ears and wore them all day at work. Everyone got a big kick out of the little bit of Disney magic I was able to bring in. It was a great day, filled with great people wishing me a happy birthday, and my husband spoiling me like he always does but certainly doesn't have to.

Maybe because I finally feel like I'm at a job where I am appreciated and have room to progress. Maybe I'm just feeling extremely hopeful about the future. Big changes are on the horizon. I can just feel it. Here's what my birthday has shown me:

Take the time to appreciate what you have, not lament what was lost. Look ahead to the future, not to the past. You'll just run into a brick wall if you aren't paying attention. I am not home for eleven hours, five days out of the week. I get stressed and tired, only getting to see my husband for a handful of hours. Fun is lacking these days, it feels like. But something I have learned lately is to make the fun when you can. I still write when I can, even if it is just a few little sentences in a notebook. Walk around work wearing purple Minnie Mouse ears. Take the times for the things you love. Remember for self care. And always bring the fun.
