Alien Probe (An Erotic Short Story) by Tiger Lily

Chapter 1 – Spaceship Abduction
     
    I bristled as I heard Jack and Paul outside laughing. I knew they were laughing at me. They always laughed at me. I pushed my nose further into my book and slunk down on my chair, hoping it was enough to get them to move on. The smell of the pages…real paper…gave off a musty smell that usually relaxed me. It wasn’t enough today.
    I glanced over the top of the book at the same time the door to the rec room opened, squealing as it did so. Damn it.
    “Hey Penny,” said Jack, walking in my direction. “Tug of war is about to start. Wouldn’t want you to miss out on another team building exercise.” He nudged Paul in the ribs. “You can be on our team if you like.” Yeah, right. Like last time when they deliberately let go of the rope and I was pulled into the dripping mud puddle. I never did get the stains out of my top from that trip.
    I shook my head. “I’ll catch up with you later, at dinner.”
    “You know you are supposed to participate. All Max employees’ have to. You don’t get special treatment.”
    Max was the name of our company. We sold sporting equipment to department stores. Our boss, Mr Michaels, was the whole reason I was even here for this ‘team building’ weekend. He did them every six months and it was required that you attend.
    You’ve probably guessed already that I have no sporting skills whatsoever and would prefer to chew my own arm off, than be here with a bunch of jock-wannabe-salesmen, but I like the job. I’m in accounting.
    I touched the edge of my glasses to straighten them before standing up, attempting to look like they didn’t intimidate me. “Go ahead. I have some work to do first.”
    “Nerd.” Paul coughed the words into his hands. Jack snickered.
    I pressed my lips together, trying hard to keep my composure.
    “Come on,” said Paul as he nudged Jack toward the door. He turned back to me just before he opened the door to leave the room. “We’ll see you later tonight, Pen, won’t we? How about we go star gazing together. Maybe I could show you how aliens probe their girlfriends. I bet you’d like that.” Both of them doubled over in laughter as they left the room.
    Idiots. If such a thing did exist, real aliens would be far nicer than these cretins. That I was sure of.
     
    Employee activities were over for the day. I had participated in as few exercises as I could manage without my boss noticing. Thankfully, this retreat would be over tomorrow and I could get back to my nice quiet life. One that didn’t involve douche bags like Paul and Jack.
    “I’m going to bed early,” said Amber, my roommate for the trip. “Are you coming too?”
    “Not right now,” I said. “I’ll let you get to sleep first.” There was no way I was going to bed at the same time as Amber. Her idea of going to bed early meant taking someone from management for some nighttime frolicking. The higher up the corporate ladder, the longer they got. That was certainly something I would never do. How she could let someone touch her like that without being in love, was something I didn’t understand.
    Don’t get me wrong. I’m not opposed to sex. I’ve had it twice. I dated a guy in high school, who seemed very pleased with it, both times. But I didn’t really see the big issue. It was okay, I guess. Personally I’d rather read a book. Probably why it didn’t last. I haven’t had another boyfriend since then. Not because no-one asked me out again, but because I couldn’t be bothered. I got lonely sometimes but my cat, Dickens, was great a keeping me company.
    I walked away from the main building toward the fields at the back of the retreat. Dusk had settled into the night but it was not yet dark. I looked up searching the tiny stars in the sky for Venus. You could only see Venus for about half an hour at sunrise and sunset. I’d probably missed that window, but I searched for it anyway.
    A flash of light to my left distracted me. A comet? I
