I saw the look in Di’s eyes and shook my head.
“Just…nothing.”
“It takes time, girls, for all the paperwork to be signed. You’ll get there eventually. Trust me.”
I looked at him. How could I trust someone who made money off me everyday? How could he just lie like that knowing we’d never get there by normal means?
For some reason, desperation gripped my heart. I needed to get there sooner than eventually.
The next morning, I barely seemed to be able to stumble from my bed and Diana had much the same problem. Matter of fact, she looked much, much worse than I knew I looked.
“This is crazy.” I gazed at her sadly. “We need to let someone know that the planet is calling us. We need to let them know what it’s doing to us.” Di looked at me with forlorn eyes. “They will just think we’re crazy.”
“We don’t know that. We don’t know that at all.” I sighed 148

heavily. This feeling was just not going away no matter what we tried. If I didn’t do something soon, especially if I didn’t do something for Diana, my reason for even being there would be gone. I just knew it. “Something is wrong, Di, I can feel it in my bones. If we don’t get down on that planet soon, it isn’t going to matter any more.” “I know what you mean,” she whispered. “I really feel like crap.” Leaning back against the covers, she turned a nice shade of green.
“I need to let Darren know that we aren’t going to be working today.”
“Is that really such a good idea?” she questioned quietly.
“I don’t care if it’s a good idea or not. If we get sick on the customers, he’ll fire us anyway and then we’ll never have a chance to get down to the planet.” She swallowed hard and I could see that she thought about what might or might not happen. “Should we go to the doctor then? I mean he’d believe that, right?” I thought about it for a moment and realized that would probably be our best course. Then we’d have an excuse, plus we’d be able to stop by the immigration office and see just where in the whole scheme of things our applications might be hiding.
“Okay. But I want us to go to the immigration department as well.”
“I’m not sure what that will accomplish.”
Leaning against the doorframe, I had to admit to myself that I totally agreed with her. But I couldn’t tell her that. I couldn’t let her know just how depressed not getting to the planet made me.
“It’ll let us know just where we are, Di. We’ve got to know, and know quick.”
Her eyes seemed to sink even more into her head. “Why?”
Rushing to the bed, I sat down and took both her hands in 149

mine. “Because, Di, we both know we will never leave here if we can’t get down to the planet. We’re gonna die here, in this very room, if we’re not careful.” Looking up at me with sorrow-laden eyes, she nodded slightly. “I know. You’re absolutely right, we’ll die here if we can’t get down there soon.” I squeezed her hands again and nodded in agreement. “Yup.
Our fate is tied to whether we get down there or not.” I smiled wryly. “Maybe that’s what I should tell Darren, that we’ll both die if we can’t get there. What do you think he’ll say?” A small smile crossed her face. “Don’t you give him a reason to kick us out.”
I grimaced. “He can’t kick us out for that because we’re part of the guild. Besides, we do have enough credits to support ourselves for a while.” “If you say so.”
I had never told her that my parents were rich. I also never told her that my parents had died before we ever landed on this rock above Araelus Prime. They had gone quickly and together in a transport crash while en-route to the pleasure planet of New Gedi for a second honeymoon. I could never have made it back in time for a funeral and once the solicitor had contacted me there was really nothing left to do. I had no siblings or family except them, and I had disappointed them by coming here.
We could have afforded one of the best apartments on Janus 345 but my Scottish heritage had kicked in and I decided to save the money for a rainy day. Hell, I didn’t even know if it rained on Araelus Prime but if it did, I’d have money. Sometimes it sucked to be my parents’ only child. I certainly had enough money to make sure that Di got the best of medical care and that was something I definitely planned.
“I’ll be back in a little while. I need to go talk to Darren.” I 150

squeezed her hands again gently and got up.
“I’m not sure that we can afford to go to a doctor,” Di gazed up at me sadly.
“You let me take care of that. You just rest until I get back.” I got up and left quickly as I didn’t want her to distract me again. I knew what I had to do, what I had to promise to the man in order to get the right thing done.
We were lucky enough to be housed in the dancing guild’s apartment complex. I was surprised when I first arrived on Janus 345 to find out that everything was divided into a series of guilds.
There was the cooking guild, and the weapons guild, and the clothing guild, and even a medical guild, you name it and they had a guild for it. You had to belong to a guild to even be considered for living planet-side. I saw the guilds as a series of enforcement units, which kept out the riff-raff. If you weren’t in a guild, you weren’t ever going to qualify for planet life. Once you arrived here, you had five years in which to get your guild endorsement or you were shipped back home even if that home didn’t exist any more.
Arriving quickly at the club, it was only two blocks down the corridor that passed for a street, I walked in as casually as I could. Going to the bar, I smiled at the gorilla behind it known as Teddie. “Darren around?” He motioned with his head toward the back, meaning he was in his office. “Thanks, Teddie.” Letting out a big sigh, I wasn’t all that sure my bravado would hold out while I talked to Darren. The man could be damn convincing when he wanted to be. Knocking quietly on the door to the office, I remembered the last time I was here. I had spent most of the time evading Darren’s roving hands and mouth. This time I knew I didn’t have a chance if I wanted to take Di to the doctor.
“Who is it?” His deep voice could still send tingles of pleasure 151
Violet Visions
down my spine though his brand of sex was too kinky even for me.
“Aeryn.”
“Come in.”
Placing my hand on the doorknob, I sucked in one last breath, forcing myself to concentrate on the task at hand, not what Darren would want. “Hi, Darren.” He sat behind a huge desk meant to intimidate anyone who came in. Thank God, I wasn’t intimidated by much. “What can I do for you? As you can see I’m really busy today and don’t have time to be dallying with the likes of you.” And he was in a definitely foul mood today. It briefly crossed my mind that the new girl didn’t put out like expected. He’d be in a foul mood for weeks when I wouldn’t give into his desires a couple of years ago but even then I could sense something dark and sinister behind that pretty boy face. And pretty much vanilla sex was all he’d ever gotten from me even though I knew he had wanted more. “Diana is really sick and needs to go to the doctor.” “You’re telling me this because?” Irritation flashed across his face.
“I’m getting what she has, so I’m taking her there. I don’t know when we’ll be back.”
A scowl flashed across his face. “I can’t spare both of you.
There are plenty of reservations tonight for private dancers.”
“Would you rather us puke in their faces?”
Eyebrows went up and he sat back in the chair. “Is it really that bad?”
I sighed. “I think so. She looks like death-warmed-over and I’m starting to feel the same way.”
“You do look a little washed out.” Getting up from the chair, he walked toward me. I knew that whatever came my way, I’d 152
eXtasy’s Collective Mind
just have to deal with it. “I’ll let you both go on one condition.”
I swallowed hard. “What’s the condition?”
“You have to fuck me right now.”
This time I was surprised. “Straight fucking, nothing kinky?” I questioned.
“Maybe a little anal but I don’t have time for anything else today.” He started to remove his tie as he knew that I would do anything to get out of dancing for a night. Especially if it involved Diana. “Lock the door.” I swallowed hard and turned to lock the door. Anal might be a little tough, as I hadn’t done it since we’d had our last encounter about eighteen months ago. Besides, the man was huge and I was tight. Sliding his hand under my shirt, he tweaked my nipples until they were tight buds. The feeling flashed all the way to my groin and I knew I was in trouble. Not the bad kind but the really good kind.
“Is the privacy field on?” I managed to ask and reached around to hold Darren’s head as he began to kiss my neck. This was going to feel wonderful. When did I get so much into sex?
Usually, I was the one who held back but suddenly I craved it.
“Always,” he murmured and continued to caress my boobs.
Working his way down, he slid his hands inside my pants and spread my vulva to caress my already hard nub. It had been a long time and I dripped with need and anticipation. “Let’s get these things off.” Slowly, he undressed me, caressing my body as he removed each piece of clothing. Even though he was kinky, he was a damn good lover when he wanted to be. Leaning down, he popped my nipple into his mouth, licking first one and then the other.
Pushing me back into the closest chair, he went down on me, licking my slit with expert precision.
“You know I’m going to want the same,” he whispered as his 153

hands reached up to pinch my nipples until they were pointy and hard.
“Not a problem,” I murmured between breaths. Pulling my ass closer to the edge of the chair, he put two fingers inside me, dragging the wetness up to saturate the area, before thumbing my clit. I nearly flew out of the chair and began panting. My hips wiggled and arched more into his mouth as his tongue did me in the slowest, most sensual tongue fuck I’d ever had.
Pounding his fingers in and out of me, he licked my clit, pulling and teasing my body toward orgasm. Pulling back, he continued to caress me with the big pad on his thumb. “Let’s get on the floor and do a sixty-nine.” His beautiful smile enticed me to do things I wouldn’t normally do.
“Sure, as long as you’re not pumping that big dick of yours into my mouth from the top. I need to breathe, you know.”
I felt his chuckle on my abdomen. “Have it your way.” Pulling me onto the floor, he hovered over me. “Undress me the rest of the way and make it good.” Licking my lips, I looked at him and ran my hands up his chest to caress his already hard nipples. With one hand, I unbuttoned each button and placed my lips on him, kissing all the way up. Laving his neck with my tongue, he rewarded me with a sigh of satisfaction. Taking his mouth with mine, I kissed him long and deep, allowing my tongue to war with his as I caressed the inside of his mouth.
Pushing one hand down his pants, I unbuttoned and unzipped his tight jeans. He had a thing about clothes from the last century, particularly dark, tight jeans. He wore them with everything including ties and jackets. And I had to admit they sure did make a man’s ass look good. Pushing the clothes out of the way, his huge dick sprang to life under my tutelage, the large mushroom head turning a dark purple color.

“Hey,” he murmured. “You’re supposed to be on the ground.” He shoved me onto my side on the floor, his mouth still doing magic to my slit.
Not so gently, I took him into my mouth and rimmed the head of his penis. I swear it grew by another two inches as I sucked on it. Using my hand, I pumped him while I mouthed him. His skin was some of the softest I had ever felt and that included a woman’s. I don’t know just what it is about a man’s cock but there’s definitely something to be said when it’s in a woman’s mouth and right at that moment it felt good in mine. And I could tell that I got to him by his grunts and groans. Then there was the hip action as he pumped himself into me again and again.
“Enough,” he said and pulled me until I was on my knees before him. Putting his large hand on the back of my neck, he shoved my head down to the carpet. “This ain’t gonna be pretty.
I’m gonna make you come hard.”
I didn’t care. I wanted this man in me, and I wanted it now.
He slammed into me from behind, rubbing my inner G spot until I was a quivering mess. It felt so good, and all I could do was move against him, moaning my need.
“I want you to come so that I can ram my big cock up your ass while you’re still in the throes of your orgasm,” he whispered leaning over me. Reaching his hand in front, he caressed my clit as he shoved into me. Soon the pressure built in my body until my orgasm burst from me like a newborn phoenix. Darren didn’t give me more than a few seconds of total pleasure as my cunt gripped his cock. Pulling out, he slathered my ass with my own juices and pushed his way into my backside.
“That almost hurts,” I murmured. To be honest I didn’t know how it made me feel. Last time he had taken me this way, it hurt a lot but then I was practically dry. This time I still convulsed from my own orgasm, slick with my own juices, and it felt good in 155
Violet Visions
ways I’d never thought was possible.
“You are so tight,” he breathed. “If you touch yourself while I’m in you, it’ll make you feel better.”
Touch myself? Sure I’d touched myself but never while I was screwing someone else. It seemed almost unfaithful to the person I was with. Still, if it would help quell the trepidation that I felt from having his big cock up my ass, I was all for it. Rubbing my fingers around my already sensitive clit, I could see he had a point as he eased himself in and out of me. All too soon, I again became a quivering mass of nerves as he pounded his big cock within me. This time Darren came over the edge of the abyss with me as he jerked once, then twice, leaning over me and forcing me to the ground.
We lay there for what seemed to be a lifetime as he became a dead weight upon my body. Finally, he pulled himself to his knees as I turned to my side, and watched me. “I sure do wish I had more time. I would tie you up.” I tried not to react. I had seen some women he had tied up. I don’t know if they didn’t please him or if that were part of their game but I knew I didn’t want any part of it. “I think you should really let me get to the doctor. I’ve got to get back to Diana.” Even though the experience was good, I felt even more ill than I had before. Something was definitely wrong and I needed to find out just what it was.
It took me another hour to get back to Diana and another two to get her up, cleaned, and to the doctor’s. Now we sat in one of the inner rooms of the medical facilities. The nurse had just taken our finger sticks and scanned us for our vital signs. I felt surprised when both of us had come up having a fever and 156
eXtasy’s Collective Mind
elevated pressures. Still, the miracle of medicine was that they could tell everything about us with just those two harmless tests.
About fifteen minutes later an older man with white hair, wearing a lab coat, entered. He had a pinched face and I could tell that he wasn’t happy at all. “How long have you two been feeling this way?” I swallowed hard. This was not what I expected. I had thought he would just give us some drugs and he would send us on our way. “I just started getting sick last night. Diana here has been working on it for almost a week.” “You’ve been called haven’t you?”
The stunned look on our faces must have said it all. “I—I—
don’t know what you’re talking about,” I stammered. How could this man know something both of us had kept hidden for years?
He sighed very heavily. “Look, it’s nothing to be ashamed of at all. I just wish the government had decided to tell everyone…then they could…” he trailed off and just stared at us. “Have you both applied to go planet side?” I nodded. “The week I arrived.”
“Same with me,” Diana said weekly. “What’s wrong with us, doctor?”
He gazed at us with sympathetic eyes. “There is nothing wrong with you. Your mates have been calling you. You are one of the few chosen by the Araeleans to have a legitimate claim to go to the planet.” He shook his head sadly. “Most people never come to the doctor when they feel this way. They just die a lonely death. They don’t realize when they die, their Araelean counterpart dies also. They mate for life.” My eyes got big…mated for life? Was this man crazy? “How can we be mated to someone we’ve never met?”
“I don’t know the mechanics of how it works but I do know that the call goes out to all the known worlds and only one 157
Violet Visions
person answers that specific call.”
“You mean that the call Diana’s heard is something different than I’ve heard?” This was just too astonishing to believe.
“More than likely. It’s rare that two females or two males get a call from the same Araelean. They are very particular in their needs.” “Needs?” I questioned warily. “What do you mean needs?”
He smiled. “It’s nothing bad or anything from what I’m told. I just work here. I’ve never been lucky enough to be called at all.” “What do you mean needs?” I ground out again.
“You have to be compatible. I don’t know what happens if you aren’t.”
Sighing, I shook my head. “That really doesn’t answer my question.”
