Do Aliens Have To Have Tentacles To Be Sexy? by Jessica Subject

Thank you very much, Lia, for hosting me on your blog today.

Since I write some alien erotica, I decided to see what else was out there, get a feel for the stories that would fall under the same category as mine in search engines. Boy, was I surprised at what I found. I bought a couple of the books just to do my research, and here’s what I found out:

In most erotica stories involving sex with aliens, the extraterrestrials have tentacles. And that is their way of penetrating their mate. Most of the time, this mating is forced, whether on Earth with a human in cahoots with the alien, or on another planet where the human is a slave to the other race. Oh, and let’s not forget that these aliens want to repopulate. So, if the human female is penetrated, she is also likely to become impregnated.

Well, my aliens aren’t like that. While their appendages may be slightly different from a human male, they have no tentacles, and are sexy as sin. They NEVER force themselves on anyone. Sex is always consensual, even if the female doesn’t realize their mate is an alien. AND my sexy aliens are not about making babies. Protection is used. Okay, so maybe not in all of my stories, but the encounter is romantic, or at least smokin’ hot, rather than about reproduction.

So, tell me, and be honest, which type of aliens do you prefer? If tentacles are a big thing, I may just have to write some of those stories, too.

 

Crash Landing

by Jessica E. Subject

As his ship plummets toward Earth, Cael believes his life to be over. His last ditch effort to save himself ends in a fiery crash. When he wakes up, he believes he’s entered the afterlife, but his surroundings indicate otherwise. He made it to Earth. But who saved him, and what do they want with him?

 

~~ Excerpt ~~

Cael gripped the cushioned arms of the captain’s chair as his ship tumbled bow over stern. The console flashed a blinding red in front of him. Piercing alarms drilled into his mind and he lost focus. The seconds raced by as he plummeted toward Earth. He’d fucked up this mission of peace. Contact with his home planet had ended months ago. No one from Narien could save him now. His death was imminent.

The water below wouldn’t soften his landing. At its current speed, his ship would disintegrate on splashdown. The planet’s gravity pulled him down faster.

He coughed; the acrid scent of fried electronics stung his nose and the back of his throat. Please let my death be quick.

A rattling to the left caught his attention above all other noise. The handle on the cabin door shook. Freedom. It wasn’t his time to die, if he could get out.

The altimeter on the dashboard read six thousand meters, high enough to jump and land safely with his chute. Only to land in frigid water and die of exhaustion or hypothermia from treading without any hope of a rescue.

“Shit.” But he’d die if he stayed. He had to take the chance. Yanking off his safety harness, he pulled himself to standing and strained to reach the recess where his pack hung. Stretching up, he fingered the cloth strap. Not close enough to grab hold of it.

The ship jolted and flung him to the stern. He weaved his arm through the straps of the pack on his way past, dislodging it from the hook. Yes.

His triumph was short-lived as he flew starboard, smashing his shoulder against the wall. He groaned when an electrifying spasm shot down his arm to the tips of his fingers. The ship lurched again, and he tumbled back toward the console. He grabbed the door, his feet dangling in mid air. If he didn’t get out now, he’d forfeit any chance to survive.

The ship righted again. He planted his feet against the bottom of the door and twisted the crank. The latch snapped open, filling him with a sense of hope. Careful to keep at least one hand on the handle at all times, he slung the pack over his shoulders.

All set. Time to jump. Pushing off the floor, he slammed his uninjured shoulder against the door. It blew open and tore away from its hinges, lost to the sky.

Cael teetered on the edge before plunging out of his failing ship. Wind whipped all around him as he twisted to catch his bearing during freefall.

Glancing down, he spied crystal blue lake, much closer than he’d expected. Too close.

He jerked the cord on his chute–several hundred feet lower than he should have. At least. His feet skimmed the cold waves just as his chute caught the current and heaved him back into the air.

The ship splashed into the water beside him, disintegrating into millions of pieces. He raised his hands in front of his face as shrapnel flew at him. Tiny shards sliced into his arms and legs, but the extreme heat from the cloud of steam billowing up at him stung the most.

From the moment his toes touched down in the once frigid water, his skin sizzled. He screamed in agony. His death would have been quicker and less agonizing if he’d remained in the ship.

A hard piece of his spacecraft smashed down on his head, and he welcomed the darkness.

December is going to be a busy month…

Happy Friday! Wow, it’s the last day in November. I still can’t believe how fast this year has gone by. I’m not ready for the winter holidays, not emotionally anyway. It’s hard for me to get into the spirit.

I think a large part of it is because I have so much to do in December. Starting Monday, my three week Death’s Storm blog tour starts. I’ll post the tour schedule with links this weekend. Also next week, I’m starting a 7 days of Giving here on my blog. From Thursday, 12/06, to Wednesday, 12/12, I will be giving something away each day. I’ll put a page this weekend with the rules and prizes. Also, Winter Eve releases around 12/18. And, I want to finish A Tiger’s Claim before the end of December.

*Sigh* I’m not going to stress over it though. I’ll get it done.
