Star Crossed Lovers

~ Alek ~

Alek had spent the morning at work and went to the spa for a swim at lunch. Every male in the locker room was discussing Dakota, as usual. This time, they were talking about how depressed she usually was after a hunt. She always comes back, hooks up with Durk, and they drink and dance all night.

One of males snorted, “What is so special about Durk? He doesn’t have anything the rest of us don’t have.”

Another responded, “They were friends growing up. He might have the inside track but I think if she wanted him, she would not have broken it off with him two years ago. Besides, he asks her out all the time and she always says no. I think he should just give it up, move over, and make room for new blood.”

One of the males nodded in Alek’s direction and remarked. “The only hunt I have ever seen her come back fine from was Alek’s. Now I wonder what was different about that particular hunt.”

Several males approached him and began asking questions. “After she found me, I was in bad shape. She stayed with me and live fed me for a couple of weeks. I think she just needs down time after a hunt.”

The males were shocked and then there were several people asking dozens of questions. What was she like? Did she share his bed? Did they kiss? Did they have sex? What did she eat? Is it true she has a son? On and on the questions came. Alek was evasive and any question he could pretend not to know, he did.

Finally, he cut them off. “Look, I barely know Dakota, I am just one of hundreds of poor unfortunate souls she hunted. You have all known her socially for years. I’m sure I don’t have much to add to this discussion.” He threw his wet trunks in his gym bag, shut his locker, and hand scanned it to lock.

Durk’s voice sounded off from the doorway. “I think that perhaps you do have something to add to the discussion. I have never seen her the way she was after her hunt for you. She was relaxed, confident, and content. Why?”

Alek tilted his head and replied assertively. “If you would like to know the answers to such questions, you should simply ask Dakota. You are her best friend. I’m sure she would be happy to share with you what I can only speculate about.”

Durk responded bluntly, “I’m asking you.”

Alek replied coldly. “Then let me be clear that I have no intention of discussing Dakota with you or anyone else. What went on with my hunt and during the time of my recuperation is something I consider personal.”

Durk eyes narrowed. “Dakota told me the person who took you put a device on your arm that drained the blood out of your system. Drained you almost dry, in fact, over and over again…like on the ships.”

Alek nodded his head in acknowledgement. “It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my long life.
