from her upper leg along over her
knee, feeling, gently squeezing. He lifted it and, with a cushion he snatched,
propped up the offending limb.
     
    "I am familiar with some
injuries. I wish to take you to my people. I have not the gems with me that I
need to heal you."
     
    She snorted in disbelief and anger,
finally snapping to her senses. This man affected her yes, but clearly he was
some kind of new age hippy.
     
    "I don't know who you are or
where you're from, but if the best doctors on the planet can't fix my leg, then
I very much doubt yours will be able to."
     
    The corners of his sensual mouth
lifted slightly in a small knowing smile.
     
    "My people are not of this world.
We have magic and medicines beyond human understanding."
     
    "Melor's been telling me about
his home called Kell. It sounds great. He rides horses called stags and is a
warrior in an army. But they fight with swords and not guns, like dad used to
do," Blossom piped in.
     
    Melor turned his head to smile at
Blossom. Oh good gracious. Summer's heart fluttered in her chest seeing
him smile, the dimple in his chin, the way his eyes lit up, devastatingly sexy.
     
    "We have not had to fight for
many moons now, little Blossom. We once had a great war that went on for many
generations, but our enemy is now defeated. Our land is now at peace. You will
like it there. The rivers are clear, the air fresh and the twin moons in the
sky at night give everything a silver glow."
     
    Riding on stags, magic crystals,
warriors who fight with swords, medicines beyond human understanding.
     
    Summer sat perfectly still as she
absorbed his words. It was clear she was dealing with a crazy man. Not just any
crazy man--a big six feet six, incredibly sexy, crazy man. She glanced down at
his large hand still resting on her leg and realized he could quite easily snap
her neck and not even be breathing hard.
     
    Summer plastered on a fake smile.
     
    "And, Mr. Melor, how does one get
to your land with these magic crystals?"
     
    "I will not lie to you my lady
Summer, but a portal must be opened between your land and mine. The portals are
created from the magic of our sorcerer. It may be hard for you to believe, but
I am not from your world."
     
    Great . She had the most attractive alien
man in her living room. She rolled her eyes.
     
    "It's not that I don't want to
believe you, Mr. Melor…but it does sound a little far-fetched."
     
    "I understand if you do not
believe me now. It does not matter. What matters is I can make you well. Do you
not wish to be free from pain?"
     
    Summer felt her eyes narrow. Okay, so
he was some kind of con artist as well.
     
    "I am fine, Mr. Melor. It is none
of your concern."
     
    Melor removed his hand from her leg,
Towering over her reclining form, he stepped back. He bowed his head.
     
    "You need not fear me, my lady. I
would never harm you. Women in my world are revered and precious. It pains me
to see your suffering."
     
    The man had a nerve, spouting all this alien, I can heal you crap. She needed to get him out of her home.
     
    "I'll call someone to come and
take you home, Mr. Melor. Is there a lodge or hotel you're staying at? I'm sure
someone has noticed you missing by now."
     
    The mental hospital .

    Jane warned Melor, along with the
other Kell men, when they first came through the portal to earth; not all
humans were open to the idea they were from another planet.
     
    Humans, for the most part, seemed a
straight-laced people of science and technology. Magic and other planets simply
did not play well in their minds. Fantasy and magic existed only as a form of
entertainment.
     
    Melor found it most confusing. But the
main rule Jane had told them was not to tell anyone they were aliens, as they
could be arrested by the human law and locked up.
     
    He couldn't help it; he could not and
would not lie to this stubborn little earth woman. It was so hard to watch her
suffer knowing there was something he could
