Chapter 41: Never give in and never give up.Sloan wasn't sure how long he was strapped to the bed by the Nebos. He stared out the window. The ocean lapped at the sand as his dick started to deflate. His body ached with the need to orgasm. After a while, the urge to pee came over him. Pissing in this bed didn't appeal to him.Irritated, he hunted for his connection to Octnavin. The whole time he looked for where their minds shared space, he kicked himself for getting into this situation. If he was honest with himself, he knew something was making his gut turn about the man in the bar, but he went along with this anyway. If he ever got out of this room, he would never again blindly go home with a stranger.Hell, right now, Sloan would go back to Reese over Octnavin. Reese might've been an asshole, but Octnavin was a real dick. After a few minutes, Sloan found the connection to Octnavin. The alien hid nothing. His brain was like a vast ocean of information. There was so much data that S
Chapter 42: Let's finish this. In the shower, Sloan rubbed his cock until the skin looked raw. Nothing happened. His orgasm rose and then fizzled. Swearing, he got out of the water and glared down at his package. Could balls turn blue for real? He'd tried everything to reach a climax. He'd slipped fingers up his ass. He'd jerked his dick for hours. He'd picked every porn he could think of to play in his head.Nothing.Octnavin only sighed in his head. The alien echoed his frustration, and Sloan understood Octnavin's aggravation. At this point, neither one of them was laughing.Pissed off, Sloan marched out of the bathroom and yanked on his torn-in-half favorite band shirt. After he was clothed, he walked to the table and slapped his palm on the surface. He ate the fruit and salad that appeared. Because of how long he'd been here, Sloan wasn't even amused with the alien eating table anymore. After he finished his meal, he walked outside and tossed himself onto the wide beach chair. Th
Chapter 43: Show it to me.Sloan took off his shirt and hung the torn fabric on a second chair next to the one where Octnavin waited. The alien studied his naked body. Sloan knew he looked good, and now no tan lines. While Sloan moved, Octnavin stared and his black eyelashes fluttered. After turning to where the alien waited, Sloan straddled Octnavin. He set his knees on both sides of Octnavin's huge thighs. His balls snuggled into the junction of Octnavin's legs like they belonged there. Leaning forward, he ran his tongue over Octnavin's cheek to his ear. He traced the shell. He licked a long slow line from his earlobe, down his neck, and to his chest.As soon as his tongue was on Octnavin's skin, the alien began to purr like a loud oversized cat. The deep rumble was another sign that the alien was losing this battle of wills. Sloan could see the aching lust in Octnavin's brain like a dense fog. The cloud grew and grew with every touch from Sloan. On the outside, the ruler kept himse
Chapter 44: The taste of raspberries.Everything stilled after Sloan's request to see the huge mouth pole that the alien kept trying to hide. Octnavin's eyes speared his with a look of weariness, and in his mind, he tossed up shields. The alien paused, and then hesitantly, he opened his mouth barely an inch. Sloan got the hint that this was an embarrassment. In Octnavin's world, the tongue was an extremely sensitive, very private part of their bodies. They didn't show it to anyone. Ever."You want me to suck it?""Yes.""You want me to drink?""Yes.""Then get it out."Octnavin paused and bristled at the command. His pretty green eyes slanted into a glare."You can take me home." Sloan shrugged and then started to rise off the alien's lap. Octnavin slipped out of his body and off his cock. Right as Sloan would have gotten up, Octnavin's tentacles grabbed his knees, stopping Sloan from moving."Fine," Octnavin grumbled and pulled Sloan back into his lap.Sloan didn't even bother to hide
Chapter 45: The attack."Who's my slave now?" Sloan asked as he grinned down at Octnavin. The alien shook with his tongue pole sticking straight up from his mouth. Fat drops of fluid dripped down the sides. Even though Octnavin could toss Sloan off the bed, the alien stayed perfectly still other than his wild purring.-I am all yours.- Octnavin whispered in Sloan's head.So far, in the last three days, that was the most Sloan could get the ruler to admit. Again, Sloan sucked Octnavin's tongue, working the flesh in his mouth. He drew hard on the wet pole while the alien glided his tentacle between Sloan's ass cheeks. Sloan pulled off Octnavin's tongue right before he would have gushed.-Not yet.- Sloan said to the alien in his mind. He smirked and leaned back.Octnavin made a sound that was a cross between a groan and a woman's cry of indignation. Sitting on top of the alien, Sloan traced Octnavin's neck and chest. The Nebos had wrapped around Octnavin's torso pinning the alien to the
Chapter 46: Not dead yet.As soon as Sloan opened his eyes, he panicked. He was drowning. He gulped for air and got a lung full of water. He thrashed as he floated. When he tried to swim to the top of wherever he was, he hit his head on metal. Sloan was in a tube of liquid, and there was no air. There was no place to escape. He pushed at the white frosted glass cylinder. The glass didn't move. He was going to die.-Sloan.- Octnavin's voice speared into his fear, and a calm wave flowed over his mind. -Be still, little pebble. You are not drowning.-Sloan obeyed, but it might have been one of the hardest things he'd ever done in his life. He inhaled and took in the water. He exhaled. Water came out of his nose. -How am I breathing water?--The folantos decided to bring you back to life. You are in their revival cylinder. Stay calm. That is not water.--Are we royally fucked right now?- Sloan asked in his mind. Fifty percent of him didn't want the answer.There was a pause.-For the mome
Chapter 47: We might be here for a while.Sloan explored the steady trickle of water that filled a small rock basin. He ran his hand around the rock bowl and smelled to see if the water was clean. The water looked alright, and since he didn't have much of an option, he guessed he would have to deal with it."What's the plan to get out of here?" He turned to Octnavin and studied the rest of the mud cell."I do not have one yet." Octnavin sat with his back to one wall. His tentacles were crossed over his body. The alien rested his ankles one over the other. He looked like he was sitting on the beach."So the great ruler of the Dagerstanteens just plans to roll over and give up?" Sloan raised one eyebrow. He knew Octnavin would rankle at the jab. However, teasing the king of the Dagerstanteens brought a smile to his face."I never give up. Right now, I am calling for assistance.""With your invisible phone?" Sloan scanned the reclining alien."My hair, as you call it, is not hair. It give
Chapter 48: Learning to fight.When Sloan woke, he was alone in the muddy cell. Octnavin was gone and with him went the warmth and Sloan's ability to see better in the dark.Struggling, Sloan tried to remember where the water stream was located. His eyes adjusted to the slivers of brightness here and there. The tiny lights flickered just enough to help him find the hole to pee in and then stumble to the fruit.Earlier, Octnavin said the light came from the arena and the other cells. He told Sloan that some aliens produced a glow, which Sloan was seeing through the cracks. Even though Sloan was getting better at navigating the low light, he still missed his alien. Without Octnavin letting him use his eyes, he was at a disadvantage. Stumbling around, he finally found the dripping water. He used his hearing to figure out where the drops hit the tiny rock pool. After scooping up the water, he splashed his face and then drank. When he was finished, he sat back on his heels and listened.Af
Chapter 136: The end of... Life and Death.Standing between his grove of apple trees and his rows of orange trees, Ike stopped and inhaled the blossoms in the wind. The bright star of the Dagerstanteen planet had him closing his eyes and sighing in delight. He'd never been outside this much, and he was addicted to the warm fresh air. He grinned. There were a few things he was addicted to now, one of which was the three humans laughing, chatting, and strolling toward him.Ike opened his eyes and smiled at the three men walking between his carrots."Ike," Chasm called. "We are here to learn.""Thank you for agreeing to take care of my plants while I travel with JP." Ike nodded."Caveman." Sloan approached him using the nickname he'd given Ike after they met. Sloan held up his hand, and Ike slapped Sloan's palm before his new friend jogged over to where the row of raspberry bushes was growing. "This is badass."Ike glanced at Chasm and raised an eyebrow."It means good," Chasm translated.
Chapter 135: Taking the fire back.JP didn't make a sound after Lee's announcement, but Ike could see his thoughts moving in a whirl. JP was making plans. The alien was rigging up a way to pull him from the fire if he said yes. The alien was also simultaneously trying to figure out how to keep Ike alive for a long time if he didn't hold the fire and if they didn't get the lifesaving water. Ike was very old and his Dagerstanteen blood would only do so much. Plus, all the humans needed the healing water. It wasn't just his life they were talking about here."I…" Ike pictured going back to the rain planet. He would have to watch time tick by while he held the fire again. The loneliness would eat at him. "I will have to return to the sanctuary," Ike murmured."Never," JP snapped."You do know that you burned that to the ground, right?" Keltrix asked."I will forbid you from returning to your old home." Octnavin's sentence was unmovable stone. "If you were to take the ember and regrow the P
Chapter 134: Life after the fire.As soon as Ike had the sensation of being set on a cold table, his eyes opened wide. It had been a long time since Ike felt the sensation of cold."JP?""He is here."Ike looked into Keltrix's eyes and then pushed away from the tentacles holding him. He sat and swung his legs until he was on the edge of an exam table in a laboratory."Where am I?" Ike glanced at Keltrix and then at Octnavin. Next to him on a second table was JP. The alien looked burned from head to toe. He wasn't moving, and Ike felt panic. Did the fire kill JP? Why was everyone acting like it didn't matter?"JP?" Ike set his hand on his blackened skin. The hard surface was rippled and rough."What is that thing that Sloan likes to say?" Keltrix asked Octnavin."He bounces back fast." Octnavin crossed his middle tentacles over his chest."Yes," Keltrix agreed. "That's it.""Where are we?" Ike glanced at the leader of the Dagerstanteens. "Is JP dead?""This is our ship, and we are parke
Chapter 133: At the fire temple.Ike kept himself conscious by listening to the Dagerstanteen that carried him. JP found the most boring things to list in Ike's head until he had to fight not to sleep. Although Ike struggled to stay awake, he did agree that JP kept his emotions and the fire calm.As the air got colder, the cooler air had him focusing. The six of them started to climb up a wide rock staircase on the closest side of a small mountain. The guards that had followed them stayed at the bottom. All around them was water, and there were no sides or railings to the steps. One move to the left or the right, and they would fall into the dark, murky moat.Ike lifted his chin and tipped his head as they marched. His heart beat a little faster when he spotted the Panchen Fire Shrine.This is where he would die.When they reached the end of the staircase, JP stepped onto smooth marble. Ike noted that the water lapped at the highest point and splashed like the liquid wanted to take ove
Chapter 132: Albeon.When Ike awoke, he was cradled in JP's tentacles, but the skin was not soft and silky. The tentacles that held him were stiff and hard and throbbing with heat. The alien had turned his skin into armor, and Ike didn't know why.Blinking rapidly, Ike was about to explain again how he was heading to Albeon no matter what JP said, but as he focused his eyes, he was shocked and speechless at what was happening around him.JP stood in front of Princess Lee and three old Albeon women. Ike knew who those women were. Shay had told him about the three elders. There was Dilma, Payson, and Rolla. He was finally on the planet Albeon and besides the women in front of him, all around the open field, stood male Albeon guards of every shape and size. The number of weapons pointed at him was concerning, and he found himself holding his breath.On the right of JP stood Octnavin holding a sizeable pink bundle in his arms. On JP's left side stood a fully armed Keltrix like a silent sen
Chapter 131: Out of control. Fenton and Shay stood in his living area. As Ike walked out of his bedroom, he began to roll a cigarette. He felt nauseous and wanted to curl up and cry and rail against the unfairness of life. But he wouldn't do that in front of anyone. He could fall apart later when he was alone. Right now, he had to get dressed and leave with some dignity. He could hear Baja in his head. He needed to get it together and keep the fire calm."Ike—" Fenton stopped when JP strode out of Ike's bedroom. "JP? What are you doing here?""Greetings," Shay murmured as her eyes went from JP to Ike. "I didn't know he was...." Shay lifted her eyebrows and then grinned. "What were you doing in your bedroom?""Talking." Ike gave Shay a warning look to let it go and then brought his cigarette to his lips."Arguing," JP said at the same time."Did you bring me a new ship?" Ike asked as he lit his cigarette and ignored the Dagerstanteen."I brought mine. I will escort you." Queen Shay nod
Chapter 130: Time to leave.Ike used JP's tentacle as a pillow as he stared at the ceiling above his bed. For the last two days, he'd had sex, talked, ate, laughed, and had more sex. In the end, he did everything he could so that he wouldn't have to tell JP that he was going to his death. He'd never been this happy, and he hated to end his relationship with the Dagerstanteen but....He knew he had to, and soon.Any moment Lee or Shay would show up with a ship, and he was leaving to fly to Albeon. He must get rid of the fire. The flame was staying calm right now, but the blaze could get out of control, and it was only a matter of time before the fire burst from him. His exhaustion was rising from trying to keep the fire from blowing, and he was scared to find out what would happen if he ran out of energy. He would not be responsible for that kind of destruction. Ike had to tell JP and explain. It was the right thing to do.Ike rolled over and cushioned his cheek against JP's shoulder. H
Chapter 129: Playing."I cannot believe I am about to make a fool of myself." Ike sat in the middle of the bench and stared up at the massive instrument. The strings were on the right and left and came down from a long bar across the top. He couldn't even reach some parts of the instrument unless he got up and ran around. He refused to be that ridiculous.Cracking his knuckles, Ike paused as he decided he would play the easiest song he knew, and even though he couldn't hit all the notes, it would probably sound good enough that his ears wouldn't bleed."Any time," JP teased."You'll regret this." Ike glared at the alien and then reached his hands outward and wiggled his fingers.JP made a slight giggle under his breath.Ike ignored the alien and began the song. He plucked at each string until the notes shimmered in the air. The sound waves rolled off the loominairin, and he grinned at the beauty of the music. The song was simple, and he had just reached halfway went JP moved behind him
Chapter 128: Flying back home.When Ike awoke, he pulled himself into a sitting position and leaned against the front window of his ship. He was naked and covered in a blanket. After he rubbed his eyes, he glanced over his shoulder. His home planet was coming into view."What happened?" Ike bounded to his feet in shock and then wrapped the cloth around his waist. He hunted for his armor and picked up the pieces of clothing strewn all over the command deck."I do not know what you are asking me. Nothing happened." JP gave him a quick look before he went back to flying his ship. "You fell asleep after you reached your third climax. You have quite the stamina. I think that is your Dagerstanteen blood." The alien sounded amused. "When we were free to leave the ocean floor, and there were no threats to the ship, I took over flying and let you rest. I said goodbye to Tullie for you.""I bet you did," Ike muttered as he pictured what JP probably said about Ike being placed in a sexual stupor
