Chapter 93: Fixing the ship.Chasm had the Nebos divert the leaking fuel away from the power dowel. Although Chasm didn't know the name for most of the parts on an alien ship, that didn't mean he didn't know how they went together or the dangers. He knew that if the fuel got too close to the energy peg, there could be an explosion. He'd seen firsthand that the fire that followed was difficult to extinguish. Once the glowing liquid was streaming from the dowel, Chasm crouched over the power source. He had the Nebos form into a glove and then pulled the white fabric over his hand. Chasm used his thumb and the tip of his index finger to grab the very tip of the peg. At the two ends of the tiny rod, the energy was less powerful. The most treacherous part of the power source was in the very center. The dowel buzzed at his fingertips as he rose slowly. When Chasm straightened, he spotted Rhylent in the doorway of the room. Obviously, the alien had returned to work. He stood with JP and Kel
Chapter 94: A pretty mind.In the ship workroom, Rhylent had Chasm pinned and pressed against a Nebos wall. When Rhylent mentioned Chasm's desire, Chasm pulled, and Rhylent let go of his held wrists. Swallowing hard, Chasm placed his hands on Rhylent's chest and pushed as hard as he could. The alien let him go, and Chasm stumbled toward the broken ship. He scooted near a waist-high metal box. Realizing that he'd not put enough space between him and the alien he wanted to have sex with, Chasm dashed to the side and put the carton between him and Rhylent. He needed something to separate them. What he needed was a black hole to keep them apart.Rhylent's eyes tracked his actions like Chasm was his prey. The alien then took measured steps toward the carton, all the time watching him. Rhylent slipped into Chasm's mind with soft, delicate weaving. As soon as Chasm felt Rhylent's presence, he mixed up his thoughts into a sea of nonsense. He jumbled everything, and he hid what he could from th
Chapter 95: Alien sex is fun. "I have been doing some extensive research on human male anatomy." Rhylent moved even closer to Chasm until Chasm's back and ass were pressed against the waist-high crate. "I thought that you might like to have the information I have collected.""Is it like…" Chasm hunted for the correct words. "Is it like what we did last night?" Although Chasm tried to hide his thoughts, he knew that he failed in keeping the hopefulness out of his voice. He could tell when Rhylent smirked at him."Yes." A tiny smile tipped up the side of Rhylent's mouth. "I was just considering that we would work more efficiently on the ship if we were not distracted," Rhylent said slowly. "We could take care of our craving for each other."Chasm's heart started to beat a little harder. Rhylent admitted that he was feeling this need, this yearning, as well. The alien was right. If they were going to concentrate on anything, they should ease this clawing feeling. The hunger had been simm
Chapter 96: Don't lose your heart.A shudder went through Rhylent's frame when Chasm said he trusted him. It was so fast. Chasm knew that on an intellectual level, but his heart cared nothing for the information. They had just met, and Chasm had no reason to give Rhylent anything, let alone his hope or faith, but the feeling was there all the same. Rhylent could have Chasm's belief that maybe this time, he wouldn't be let down and tossed aside.Suddenly, the alien was everywhere. Tentacles stroked over Chasm as if memorizing every inch of his skin and raising his yearning to a fevered pitch. Something inside of Rhylent shifted, and Chasm saw the change when the energy quaked. Chasm was drawn closer, with his heart beating wildly as if the organ might break out of his chest. He turned his head and nipped at Rhylent's earlobe before tracing his tongue over the shell."That is…" Rhylent purred deeply, and his mind scrambled with sensual delight.Chasm smiled and nibbled on his earlobe aga
Chapter 97: Norwell leaves.Chasm and Rhylent couldn't seem to get any work done on the spacecraft. As soon as Rhylent came close to Chasm to show him an item that he wanted to be finished, they ended up bent over a box with Chasm slurping apple juice while Rhylent's drinking tentacle sucked on his cock until he couldn't see straight. Finally, Rhylent threw up his tentacles in exasperation. "We will work on this at another time," the alien growled, and Chasm heard the hint of the thought following that. Rhylent hoped that by tomorrow he could get his sexual yearning under control. Chasm's cock was sore with how used it felt. He was ready for sleep and a good meal."Yes, Commander.""Come, Chasm, let us return home. I need to let you rest." Rhylent stood in the doorway, offering Chasm his tentacle. When Chasm and Rhylent got back to the bedroom, Norwell was finally awake. He was still high off the feelings of Rhylent's tentacles owning him and entering him. Chasm wasn't sure if Norwe
Chapter 98: Meeting another human.Chasm finished putting the nine sets of gears together. When he was done, he looked up at Rhylent standing at the top of the ship. The alien was stretched with his tentacles above his head. He was adjusting wires, and his body looked bent in a position where all his muscles were flexed. The shape was gorgeous, and Chasm leaned back from his project to enjoy the view. The way Rhylent moved was downright erotic. Watching Rhylent work never got old. Even though he had been fixing the ship with the alien for two days now, he still wasn't bored with the way the Dagerstanteen gracefully turned and twisted."Stop thinking about me like that." Rhylent's command sliced through his thoughts. "Or I will come down and take you over that storage carton again."Chasm nodded and tamed his thoughts even though he wouldn't mind bending over a box a second time. He knew the alien was trying to focus, and Chasm wasn't helping."I need to interrupt your work, Rhylent." K
Chapter 99: Weapon's training.To Chasm's surprise, the weapons training class was fun. For the next two days, Chasm joined the humans as they learned about the planet where they now lived. Before now, Chasm was never allowed to touch things that could kill an alien master, but Keltrix showed him everything the humans were learning. After his introduction to alien weapons, he watched the hand-to-hand combat. Then he was invited to join. While listening to the teachings, Sloan, Murry, and Jazz were all studious and not silly. Chasm appreciated that. About mid-afternoon, the group took a break for a meal. On the first day, they talked mainly about Earth. And on the second day, they gave Chasm tips. By the third, he was actually excited when they got ready to eat. He liked listening to Murry and Sloan and Jazz banter with each other. The way they spoke was with affection and ease, and Chasm wished he could master that. He had not learned how to say more than a few words yet. As Chasm g
Chapter 100: Sex in the rain.Chasm half pulled half pushed Rhylent down the hall in his rush to see Norwell. The alien chuckled at his eagerness all the way. When Chasm reached the bedroom, he threw the Nebos aside and raced past the bed. As soon as he entered, he scanned for Norwell. She was nowhere around the room."Commander?" Chasm looked back at Rhylent accusingly. "She is in the garden," the alien said as he gestured with his tentacles.Chasm nodded and stepped toward the large entrance to the outside. Right as he stepped forward, a roll of thunder sounded. Lightning flashed in the sky as he stepped to the threshold. The lightning from the thick gray clouds lit up Norwell. The woman sat in the center of the garden naked on a pile of Nebos. Rain pelted her. The water made her hair curl and stick to her spine and shoulders. Norwell looked perfect as always. Her skin was flawless. The only sign that she had been with JP was the knotted gray fabric strips around her ankles and wri
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
