I couldn't express my fear for them with words. I just knew that they were something to be feared. My brother thought that I was a nut case. "They aren't real, dumbass," he would always say. For as long as I could remember I was a victim for my younger brother's torment. He would force me to watch horror movies--especially ones with aliens-- and laugh at me when I screamed or hid my face. Then we grew up. At the end of my four years of teachers collage I really had to pay attention and study. I didn't really have time to 'have fun' or 'hang out' any more. I knew I was losing touch with a side of me that I didn't realize I had, or would miss. Being 24, my brother was 18 there was a large six year difference between us. I didn't really know what kids his age were into. I also didn't realize how fast they grew up. During his time at his high school he had found new friends, a group who enjoyed horror as much as he did. Thankfully he left me out of the movies--most times. But there was one friend he had that...I hated to admit it but he aroused me. All I'd have to do is look at him and I'd feel myself grow. I was insane and perverted and I knew that, but that's what happened. So there I was, studying in my room, trying to focus so that I didn't fail my last exam, and I heard laughter on the main floor of the house. I know that's pathetic, a 24 year old who still lived with his parents, but it was much cheaper then finding my own place and paying my own rent. I started to wonder if he was there. Ryan. I shook my head and got back to my notes. I could spend forever just thinking about him and the end result will always be the same. I'd get hard, I'd masturbate, then I'd feel guilty and I wouldn't touch myself for days. But studying with them around was almost impossible. It wasn't too long after they arrived that I heard my name being called. After all, my brother had to show how he could push his 'big bro' around. "Steven! Get yer ass down here!" My brother and his fowl mouth. I didn't know what I was going to do about him. I was surprised that mom and dad hadn't done anything about it. I sighed and set my pen down. There was no point in fighting it anymore. Once I was gone he wouldn't have anyone to push around. So I just grit my teeth and pushed through it. Besides, I'd get to see Ryan. My mom was an interior decorator and her favorite pattern in the world was floral. I didn't have an issue with it because for some reason they way she used it looked tasteful, not tacky. But when they sat on the sofa in the family room I couldn't help but smile. Over the years my brother had picked up the "Goth/Punk" look. It suited him, but he looked awfully strange sitting on our couch. His friends weren't any better either. I was right. Ryan was there. Gorgeous. His dyed green hair flowed over his shoulders into a hair tie at the end of the strands. His eyes were the brightest blue that I've ever seen and I had seen a lot of blues eyes. He had a piercing at the bridge of his nose and two on his lips. I could see a small spacer in his right ear plus three more regular earrings and five on his left ear. I was pretty sure he had a tongue ring as well. He had on tight black jeans and a white dress shirt that was ripped to shreds. It looked like one strong breeze and it might've fallen off. I sighed because I knew that he was just the best looking guy I've ever seen in such a long time. "Get over here, Faggot," my brother said. He probably noticed that I had been checking his friend out again. My whole family knew that I was gay, hell, even the school boards did too, but for some reason my brother pushed me farther away because of it. It's funny, because even my grandmother kept trying to hook me up with the pool boys at her senior home and yet my brother hardly ever let me see him and his buddies. "Would it be so hard to use my name and ask nicely?" I grumbled. If I was going to be tormented then he could at least use his nice words... But I was defenseless against Ryan's happy blue eyes and charming lop-sided smile. I walked over to them and looked at the T.V screen. Lucky for me I made it in time to watch VanHellsing kick a vampires' head off. I didn't want to seem like a pussy, but I couldn't help it and I gave them a gasp and looked to the floor. "Haha, I can't believe you get scared over this shit!" My brother and his friends laughed. I couldn't help but notice that Ryan did too. Sighing, I walked to the kitchen and got myself lemonade. My dad had some beer on the bottom shelf and I thought about taking one after I was done with studying but I decided against it. I get drunk easily, thankfully hangovers aren't a bitch but I throw up at least once. But I've heard I'm a silly drunk. "Give us the case of beer dad left," my brother ordered. I sighed, he was under age. He thought that since he was graduating he was allowed to drink till he dropped. It didn't help that mom and dad were out on a date. But since I was around I wouldn't let him. Instead I grabbed a flat of Pepsi and dropped it on the coffee table. "There," I muttered as I started to walk up the stairs. "Hey, asshole, this isn't beer." I looked at my brother's friend Paul. He was an asshat. I didn't like him at all. "You're still under age. You can't have alcohol." They all looked at me as if I were stupid. "All we're askin' you to do is forget the beer on the table and go back doin' your faggot shit. That's all," he snorted in laughter. Fucking asshat. "You know what?" I started, "Go to the fucking store and get your own beer, you high school drop out. See what happens then!" I managed to finish that comeback by walking the rest of the stairs without crying. But once I got to my door I felt a hand on my shoulder. The grip was strong and I was so sure that it was Paul or my brother getting ready to give me an ass kicking. I was ready to cover my stomach and run when I noticed who it was. It was Ryan. "I wouldn't go into your room if I were you," he warned. I raised my blond eyebrow. What right did he have to say whether or not I could go into my room? "And why not? Do you want to make fun of my homosexuality as well?" I asked, fierce but not loud enough for the boys to hear downstairs. I didn't want to cause any more issues then I already had. Getting into a fight with my barely legal crush was not what I needed. "No, I don't." His blue eyes flickered and I swear they changed, but I was not sure how. I must've been tired; I had been up late everyday that week trying to get ready for the exam. "That still doesn't explain why I shouldn't go into my room. Care to elaborate?" My hand was on the door handle and I gave him what I thought was my 'challenge me if you dare' look. He returned my look with one of his own, and his worked, but only for a flicker of a moment. "You know what, you may be taller then me but I'm much older then you. You have no right to tell me what to do. Go back down to see your friends." I turned around and opened my door before the young man could say anything else. What I saw was probably the worst and scariest thing that I had ever seen in all my 24 years. He was tall, at least seven feet tall, and his hair just as green as Ryan's and his skin was glossy and white. His eyes were mud brown and they didn't appear to have pupils. Scared, I start to scream but a strong hand covered my mouth. "What the hell took you guys so long?" Ryan asked, shutting the door to my room. The alien said something but I didn't understand it, but I could feel the aggression in his voice. I squirmed my way out of Ryan's steel grip and ran to the corner of my room. I sat on my bottom and crossed my arms over my knees and I started counting, hoping that once I hit zero, the alien wouldn't be in my room. The alien said something and Ryan shushed him, "Steven, love, don't worry. We wont hurt you. I would never hurt you, Steven." I felt warmth spread through my torso and I knew he was speaking the truth, but there was a fucking alien in my room! How was I supposed to be calm with that? Any sane person wouldn't be fucking calm, and I was scared of them, that alone made the situation ten times worse. "H-h-he's going to kill me, he's going to hurt me...Ryan, what are you doing talking to him!" I burst into tears and I couldn't see. My breathing hitched and I had to gasp for air. I knew I was shaking but I couldn't stop it. I probably looked like a crazy person, I felt like one. "Xolt, go up to the ship, I'll be there in a moment," Ryan said softly, I shivered at the words but I remembered; Ryan would never hurt me. I heard the alien grunt and I looked up to see him gone. Ryan smiled at me and kissed the top of my head. "I'll explain this all to you, I promise. But for now you need to trust me. Can you do that for me Steven?" I squeezed my eyes shut and I kissed his lips, lightly but it felt more like I was just brushing my lips against his. "Good boy," I heard Ryan smile, "this isn't going to hurt a bit." Next thing I knew, I was out. *~**~* When I woke up it was really dark out, or at least it was dark in the room I was in. I tried to take in my surroundings, but it was hard to do scared and in the dark. I knew I was on a bed, but I also knew that it wasn't mine. The sheets were silk and probably black, I didn't own silk sheets. I fell out of the bed and jumped to my feet. Looking around I noticed that there were two doors that glimmered in the dark. One to leave the room and one to a bathroom, that is, if aliens even needed one. I ran my hands along the wall and I noticed when the wall stopped. There was an arch way to what appeared to be a living room, but I wasn't sure. I kept walking till I found a door. It opened automatically and I jumped and fell on my ass. A bright light spilled out and I was happy to know that I was right. A bathroom. It had a large glass stand up shower, a toilet and a sink. With the bathroom light on I could see the bedroom better. I saw two lamps on either side of the bed, they looked strange but I was sure they worked. And shutters. Huge, almost the size of a classroom chalkboard. I ran over to the lamps and turned one on, the one closest to the wall. Once my eyes adjusted, I walked to the shutters and I flipped a switch. That was when I saw Earth. It should have been obvious that I wasn't on Earth when the door jumps into the ceiling to let you in, but I was still stunned. I was scared, and I really wanted to go home, but seeing the Earth like that...It was amazing. For a moment I was happy I was on a spaceship. But then I remembered I was on a spaceship. "W-what the fuck!?" I screamed, I fell and my head hit the mattress. I slid to the floor and crossed my legs like I did in my room. I heard a clicking sound and I knew some one was in the room with me. "Who the fuck are you?" I kept screaming; I couldn't handle the fear I felt in my chest. I needed someway to let it out. Against an alien I knew I couldn't win a physical fight, annoying the fuck out of them was the second best thing I could think of. "Steven it's me," Ryan's voice filled the room. It was different though, it was like he grew four years while I was asleep. It was deep, gruff and yet nice, and sexy. I wanted to slap myself for thinking that. He was, after all, one of them... "Ryan..." I whispered; I wanted it to be Ryan so badly. I wanted to be with him so much that it hurt. I wanted to be in his arms and I wanted him to kiss me and tell me that everything was going to be alright. "That's right, Steve, it's me, love." Oh, how I wanted to hear him call me that for so long. I stopped crying but I was still scared. I felt him kneel next to me and his rough hand brushed my cheek making its way down to my chin. "Keep your eyes closed," he smiled; it was clear in his voice. I listened as he pulled my chin up. I felt his breath on my face and I shivered. I wanted him to kiss me so badly I was about to beg for it. Luckily it didn't come down to that. His soft lips pushed themselves onto mine, it was sweet. When he was about to leave my lips he nipped at my bottom lip then told me to open my eyes, but slowly and calmly. So I did. The first thing I notice were his pants, black but shiny almost. As I made my way up his body I notice that they weren't pants, but a whole one piece suit. There were two white stripes that went down the length of his body, and a symbol on his chest. The outfit had no sleeves and had white trim. I also noticed that his skin wasn't really skin; it was more like small tiny silver/white scales. His face was strangely human and beautiful. I wanted to cry and deny it but I couldn't. His eyes were still bright blue, but with out pupils. His lips looked grey with a ting of pink and his hair was thick and green. I also noticed that he had a silver white tail. I jumped and tried to make my way over the bed, away from the alien. Instead of that, Ryan pinned my hands above my head and sat on my waist. "What are you doing?" I yelled kicking the air behind him. "Trying to stop the love of my life from leaving me," he replied simply. I looked him in the eyes and saw the love he had for me. But I could also see hurt in his eyes, like my fear was killing him. I wanted to soothe him, make him feel better and loved. "What?" I breathed. He was an alien and I was human. There was no way that we could be lovers. That was wrong on more then one level. One starting on the fact that he was an alien. Another was the fact that he kind of looked like a lizard. He sighed and loosed his grip on my wrists. "Promise you wont run away?" He asked the look he gave me almost broke my heart. It was as if he were pleading with his eyes. Those eyes showed all his emotions and it was the most frightful and yet beautiful thing I had ever seen. "I promise," I whispered. I wasn't sure why I was so affected by him but I was. He took my hand into his and used my palm to rub his face. He pushed his face into my palm and smelt the air. I looked and finally saw the silver nose bridge piercing. I felt brave and brushed his hair off his shoulders too see that all his piercings were still there. He never removed them. "My given name is Xe'Trygg, but you know me as Ryan. I'm a scientist for the Xoltarian Republic. I was on Earth for a really long time...100 years I think. I was there trying to study humans and their...your culture. When I decided to see what "high school" was I met your brother. I decided that it was best to learn more about humans through him. And through him I met you." He took a deep breath and kissed my palm then let it rest in his lap. "Steven, I couldn't stop thinking about you. I wanted you so badly that I had to have you, no matter the cost. I wanted you so badly that I told my Captain. He said that I should just take you, and I stupidly agreed. I'm sorry Steven." "What am I going to do?" I looked at the ceiling. "What about my family?" Maybe I was in such great shock, or maybe it was because I knew deep down that I loved him. But either way I was reacting too calmly. It was like I was accepting my fate too easily. Maybe it was for the best, maybe not. But I decided that I was going to try and at least trust Ryan. He may have changed appearances, but he was still the same Ryan I met back on Earth. "I don't know. My captain said that he would deal with them in a non-violent fashion. So they're safe and unharmed." He smiled as he brushed my hair back, "I hope that you can grow to love me," he whispered, his voice screaming with pain to the thought that I wouldn't love him. But this was too much. For one, I had an Alien sitting on me and I liked it, two the Alien was taking my breath away, literally. He was so heavy that I couldn't breathe. Three, I had no idea what happened to my family, and four he wants me to love him. I didn't want to, but I ended up sleeping on it. Not out of choice but lack of air mainly. I could hear Ryan calling my name asking me if I was alright, but I was sleepy and I needed to think about whether or not I could still love a man who turned out to be an Alien. He was still the same Ryan that I met back in Earth, right? Just a little more reptilian... *~**~* "He'll be fine. By the time he wakes up everything will be healed." "Thank you, Xolt. This means a lot to me," Ryan... Xe'Trygg said. "No worries, what are friends for?" I opened my eyes to see two seven feet tall aliens standing a few feet away from the bed. One I recognized as Xe'Trygg, the other was the same one from my room. But this time I understood him. His hair was different though. It was parted in half and on either side of his face. It appeared that glass balls were holding the hair in place, like hair elastics. He wore the same outfit that Xe'Trygg wore; only his was white with a blue stripe. "Oh, he's awake." Xe'Trygg practically jumped to my side and grasped my hand, "Are you okay? How do you feel? Do you want some water?" I couldn't help but smile. Here was this giant alien asking if I wanted water...because I fainted. It was cute. "I'm fine. But why is he here," I sat up and grasped my legs. I looked at the extra alien and scowled. I could accept Xe'Trygg but I wasn't sure about anyone else. "He is my friend and his name is Xe'Zhi. He's a medic on this ship. He wont hurt you," he whispered the last bit into my ear. He took my blond hair and started to brush it with his fingers. It was comforting and I rested my head on his shoulder. My head felt so heavy all of a sudden. "You are probably experiencing the side effect to our drug. Don't worry they're just pain killers. While you were out we gave you a translator. You could probably go to anyone and talk to them now." Xe'Zhi said, "If you don't feel any better in the next few hours it's best if you call me." Xe'Trygg stood up and walked to his friend and patted his arm. "Leaving so soon, Xolt?" He looked disappointed. Even though he didn't have eyebrows the muscles pinched where they should have been. "You have a mate you need to tend to. I'll see you at work later. Oh, and Xolt? Tell him everything; it could cause problems if something surprises him." Xe'Zhi left the room with nothing else to say. Xe'Trygg walked back to me and sat on the bed, gently brushing my legs. He gave me small touches and didn't move too fast. I knew he was just trying to keep me comfortable but it was hard to accept him if he was treating me like that, like he was afraid of hurting me. I looked into his pure blue eyes and smiled. It wasn't the best smile in the world, my head was heavy and I was still scared but I wanted to trust and love Xe'Trygg. Just at my own pace. "What did he mean by that?" I asked. I touched his arm and was pleasantly surprised when I found out that he was warm and soft. I thought the scales would be rough, but they were delicate, kind of like a snake's skin. "He just wants me to make sure you understand our life and culture." Xe'Trygg smiled, "He accepts you as my mate and wants you to be safe." "Oh," I smiled. It was going to take more then nice words to win me over, but that Xe'Zhi was slowly inching his way onto my good side. Xe'Trygg already had his foot in my door. "Are you going to explain then?" Xe'Trygg looked tired and slumped down onto the bed, his head resting on my feet. I smiled and brushed my hand through his coarse green hair. I was amazed how long it was, reaching just above his butt. It was well taken care of and it suited him. But then again, even on Earth it looked good on him. "What would you like to know?" He asked, playing with my light blond leg hairs. The Xolt Ch. 02 I moaned as Xe'Trygg moved down my body; his silky body caressing every inch of mine. Every time he moved he kissed me, his forked tongue flickered out to caress. As he moved to my belly button he kissed and investigated it. Dipping his tongue in and out, tickling my stomach and making me ache. "W-what are you doing?" I asked. I have had lovers before, but they never lasted in a long term relationship and during sex they were never this good. I felt like I could cum just from him kissing my belly button, and pretty sure I almost did. "I want to know everything about you," he whispered. Once he got to my briefs he chuckled at the wet spot. He pressed his face into it and inhaled, like he wanted to remember what I smelt like aroused. It was purely erotic and dominate and it turned me on even more. I didn't know what to do with myself, so I pushed my hips into him, begging for more. "Anxious?" His tongue flickered out and tasted my wet briefs and I shivered. I wanted him so badly I couldn't help it. I was on the brink of losing control. "Please..." I moaned, taking chunks of his wonderful green hair. I gently tugged and he laughed, commenting on my urgency. "We have forever, Steven. No need to rush." And while part of that might have been true, I just really wanted him to fuck me... hard. I cried out in protest and he finally listened. While pulling the cotton off, his hands roamed the freshly bared skin and smiled. Kissing my hips and pelvis he moaned. I felt his tail swishing around behind him as it hit my legs. I wasn't the only one who felt the urgency. My cock sprang free with a slap to my stomach as he pulled the briefs off. I wasn't big, but I wasn't small either. I was happy with my body but my mate seemed even happier. He took my cock into his throat with one gulp and I came. It was too much at once and I loved it...maybe a little too much. But with all the cum spurting out of me Xe'Trygg didn't pull up, in fact he drank it all. I felt immediately jealous. I remembered what he said, about my DNA changing if I drank his cum, but at that very moment it was all I could do from not jumping him. He moaned around my sensitive cock and licked it clean with his soft, smooth tongue. Once he was done he crawled back up to me and kissed me. I could barely taste myself; he really did swallow all of it. I touched his ridged cock and felt sorry that his needs had been neglected. "Let me help," I whispered. I was tired after I came, but it was unfair to get off and leave my mate hanging. Or hard as the case may be. I pulled his torturous silk pants off his body and almost tore through his white shirt and threw them on the floor. His cock was massive, at least 9.5 inches and thick. It looked painful and would definitely hurt without proper preparation. I thought that maybe I'd ask Jing about sex toys and see about getting a butt plug or something to help stretch me. But later, I was on a mission to make my man happy. I wrapped my hands around his cock and started to massage it. It was soft, but the steel underneath was undeniable. Up and down the back up again, twisting my hands and spreading his pre-cum everywhere to aid with his hand job; we were both really getting into it. He was bucking his hips upwards and groaning, like I wasn't trying hard enough. I on the other hand was trying so hard I was sweating. I was half hard again, and I really wanted to suck his cock. I wouldn't be able to fit all of him, but I'd do my best to try. His orgasm came from out of nowhere. We both weren't expecting it. He arched his back off the bed and screamed my name as he released himself all over my hand, I gasped and a glop of cum landed in my mouth. Without thinking I swallowed it. It tasted like honey and I wanted more so I licked my hand. I looked down at my mates legs and saw that I had cum again, just not as much as the first time. As we lay on his bed we looked into each other's eyes and smiled contently. "I'm sorry you didn't fuck me," I whispered. "That's fine. With the way we were going you were going to end up hurt. I won't have that. Besides, we have time for that later." He smiled as he brushed my hair back off my sweaty face. He looked down at my chin and instantly frowned. "Love, what's on your face?" He asked. I blushed and tried to look away but he held my head in his hands. I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing that I drank all of his semen. But it was the responsible thing to tell him. "Um, remember the whole 'I like staying as me' thing? Yeah, that was just expelled..." I was hoping that my new mate would understand what I meant but of course he didn't. "I drank all your cum...I didn't mean to at first. It just plopped into my mouth and it tasted so good that I wanted more and I couldn't help it but to finish you off...Pleasedon'thateme," I rushed. His eyes glittered as he hugged me. "I could never hate you for giving me such a wonderful gift. What you just gave me was better than if you gave me your virginity. I will not let you regret it, Steven. We will raise beautiful, strong children together." He kissed my head and hugged my so firmly I was losing the air in my lungs. "Could you tell me how the process is done?" I asked. I guess my eyes or my face showed that I was a bit uncertain. Xe'Trygg brushed the hair again and cupped my cheek with his warm hand. "The birthing process, correct? I mentioned it before, but because you were acting skittish I tried not to go into too much detail," he smiled. "But it's really not that complicated. For as long as all Xolts have remembered we have been performing the C-section. We open the newly made womb and pull the children out just as a human C-section would be performed." "How? I mean, way back when wouldn't that be impossible? I mean, I can see that now in this day and age, but not hundreds of years ago with no technology..." "Not entirely true. It was incredibly dangerous to give birth hundreds of years ago because the procedure didn't always work or the sub mate would die because of blood loss. But when a child did live they were cherished and well taken care of. Due to the fact that children were an abnormality we protected them with our lives. The tribe would sacrifice themselves to take care of the child. Over years and years of practice and technology developments it has become so easy that some families need to live off the ships and on planets. As of right now we have plenty of healthy children running around the ships, each one as well taken care of as always." He looked me in the eyes and smiled, "You will be fine and I will protect you. Please don't worry about it." "What about 'mating season'? Your brothers were talking about it. When is that?" I asked. His blue eyes shone with the happiness that only a lover could show you. I felt myself physically relax, he calmed me down. From his masculine scent to his big strong hands I always felt safe with him. "That's coming up pretty soon actually and I'm glad you mentioned it. Mating season lasts only three days twice a year. It is the most intense moments of your life because when you aren't sleeping you're fucking or eating to stay nourished. Sometime you even end up fucking in your sleep. It's not completely continuous because we do need breaks to rejuvenate, but we'll be having a lot of sex. The main goal is to get pregnant and have children." He frowned a bit, "I believe we will be around Arcaina when the season hits, which could be dangerous. The Xoltarin Republic doesn't exactly get along with the Arcain Xolts." I was lying on his chest and he patted my blond hair, soothing me into a sleep. I puckered my lips and he kissed me, sweet and sensual. "I love you Xe'Trygg," I whispered. "I trust you to protect me and your family." "I love you too, Steven." *~**~* I had no knowledge about Arcaina or what mating season would truly be like, short of what Xe'Trygg told me. It made me nervous and I would actually wake up from a nightmare every few nights. It was always the same dream. I would be walking in the streets of Earth and I would always end up in a dark damp alleyway. I would stand there because I would notice something wasn't right. Then suddenly a large sandy Xolt would grab me from behind and lick my ear. He would hiss something to me, but because I was scared I couldn't understand what it was...The dream never ended well. I never told Xe'Trygg about the dream because he was already super defensive of me as it was. Xe'Zhi would look at me and my mate would start arguing with him. He would treat his closest friends as if they were trying to steal me away. I also found out what a defensive Xolt male looked like when he thought his mate was going to get hurt. I was accidentally pushed in the hall of the ship and I fell down. Xe'Trygg straightened his posture and puffed his chest out. His snake like fangs looked as if they were ready to puncture and his claws extended. I had to rush to my mate and soothe him before he killed the young Xolt. Xe'Hul thought that perhaps it was an effect of going into mating season and being so close to a planet that he already didn't trust. It was possible, but I thought it was just my mate being over protective. I never liked being in the dark so I went to Jing to see if he could shed some light on what Arcaina was like. He was more than happy to teach me. "Now, from what I understand, Arcaina is just like Earth?" I asked. Jing and I were sitting in his family room as he started to knit his third sweater. This one was a garish pink. "Yes, humans do live on this planet as well as a few other species. The Chanture, like me, and the Xolt but there are also more deadly species there. From what I have learnt through human media is that you have a myth about 'vampires', correct?" I nodded; they were common as much as I didn't like them. "Well, Arcaina actually does have vampires. They are endangered though due to the last Great War, though, and are in hiding." "Great War? Is that anything like the world wars on Earth?" Jing sat for a moment as he tried to recall human history. While he sat there I took the time to notice the difference in my friend's complexion. He looked better, healthier and glowing even. His white fluffy hair almost seemed to caress his face and made him look so beautiful. While thinking he placed his hand on his distended belly, rubbing it and soothing his children. I suspected that his child was due anytime now. "I guess," Jing said finally, "just different. The idea is the same though. Thousands of years ago, when Vampires were strong and powerful there lived two Kings—each one as selfish as the other. The human king was the reason the war started in the first place. No one has a correct record of why, but one thing everyone is sure of is that the Human king started it. Soon all willing humans left Crythesis—the other main country at the time—leaving all vampires to starve. The vampric king wouldn't let his people starve and so, they fought. Somehow along the way both Kings died, leaving their sons to keep fighting for them. No one knows why, or how, but one day the war just stopped because both princes were dead as well as one sex slave. On Arcaina sex slaves are known as Dancers, which is what I was before my mate found me, the difference between me and a regular slave was that I was blind and therefore trash. I wasn't...treated with much respect. Even for a whore." He looked out the massive window and sighed. I could tell right away that he didn't want to go back. "Are you going to go with your mate? Once he leaves to the planet, I mean." "Maybe...I kind of want to show them what I have become. That a tiny blind whore could make a name of himself, but at the same time I'm afraid of what might happen to me. I was lucky to get out of there while I could. The police were getting better and better at finding all the whore houses old and new..." Jing put his things down, "Arcaina, as far as I remember was just developing as a planet. My prediction is that it is just advancing in technology, but thanks to the 'Angels' we are far more developed then they are. Have no fear of Arcaina, just stay close to your mate and things will be fine." *~**~* As we approached the new planet, Xe'Trygg pulled me aside and asked me if I wanted to see where he worked. I was shocked as much as I was excited. I knew what he did but never got to see where he did it. I was very interested indeed. "And here it is," he said. It wasn't much; it looked like a small office with a screen on the wall. We had one in our home, so I knew it was a computer. His desk looked like it was made of a red wood similar to cherry wood and his chair looked like soft leather. The window behind him let in the light from the suns that weren't too far; they caused the room to glow red. My mate looked beautiful while bathing in red. His emerald green hair seemed to glow at the tips, his clear blue eyes shone out to me, his scales taking on the color of the suns. He was magnificent and I wanted him. "Beautiful," I murmured, "just beautiful..." "Steven, it's only a room." I smiled, mainly because he thought I was talking about the room. He did not seem to know how amazing he truly was. I blushed, "I was talking about you." He smiled at me and took my hand and kissed my knuckles, his slightly pink tongue caressing me as he brushed his lips against me. His eyes clouded with lust and I felt myself quiver with excitement. He wanted me... "Right now?" I asked, looking around just in case some one was near. Of course no one was—Xe'Trygg had his own room. I was just acting like a scared little school boy about to lose his cherry. I was far from that. "I want you Steven. I want to mark you before we get to Arcaina. That place is dangerous and I need to know that everyone knows you are mated." He sniffed the air around us. To me it smelt like Xe'Trygg, but I was sure it smelt like sex to him. "I want every one to know you are mine." He growled low in his chest and kissed me deeply before tugging at my last clean shirt. I felt my cock strain against my jeans and I mewled out in pain and ecstasy. His hand grazed my nipple and it rose, calling out to my mate to take me. His hand travelled down my body and embraced every inch of bare skin, until he reached my pants. He growled in frustration. "These are in the way." He tugged at them until the button ripped off and flew around the room. I moaned once his silky hand found its way though my pants and underwear and stroked my cock. It was a moment of pure bliss and I moaned into his hot wet mouth. "You like that don't you? My strength and will..." "Yes," I squeaked. "Please...Help me, Xe'Trygg." My legs were quivering and most of my weight was on the red wood desk. My mate gently dragged his nose down my neck and into the crook and started to suck, raising the blood to the skin, starting to mark me. Slowly my shirt was thrown onto the floor and my big mate was fooling around with my sensitive nipples, using he fingers and mouth to play. He bit and sucked and tweaked and pinched, causing my pink nipples to turn a rosier shade of red. "Gods, Steven, you look so fucking sexy like that." My mate's normally pure eyes were dark with lust. His flawless perfect skin had a rose hue, and his chest rose up and down quickly. He was so turned on and I was the one who did that. That fact alone turned me on even more. I looked down at myself and saw what he meant. I looked like a slut. My nipples hard little red peaks wet with saliva. My chest heaving for air, and my cock purple with need sticking out of the fly of my jeans; I was a needy, horny slut. But I was his slut and his alone. Chapter 4 Arcaina was a pretty planet from the stars. It was very similar to what Earth looked like, only instead of seeing many bodies of land you could only see two. You could also see the twin moons that lived in pairs with the planet and suns. The water was fresh glittering blue and the land was deep forest green; the sight made me miss my home but at the same time I was happy to be with Xe'Trygg. He made me happy. Sadly, though the planet was just like Earth in almost every way. There were buildings that towered in the sky and the ground was covered in cement. It was beautiful as well as it was sad. Jing had told me of a place where nature and creatures came hand in had. Once he saw what his home planet had become he broke into tears. He just kept repeating that he wished he could've seen what his world looked like before the changes. I felt guilty myself because even though I may not have done that to his planet, I didn't stop it on mine. I was just as bad as them. Maybe worse because at least Arcaina had a chance to redeem itself but it was already too late for Earth. But just like Earthlings, the Arcainians wouldn't listen and this world would soon become a broken place as well. The first day in Arcaina was okay. Nothing bad happened thankfully. Jing said that I was just over reacting. He said that it could be due to the changes that could be happening inside my body. But I didn't think that was why. I felt like there was a lack of changes to my body. I remembered Jing say that the changes to him were over night...Nothing happened to me. I was scared. What if there was something wrong with me? The old me would have been happy to know that I had a defect that made it so I wouldn't change...But after seeing Jing and Xe'Hul so happy about their children, after thinking about why I wanted to become a teacher... I had realized some things about myself that I didn't see before. The second day was a different story. As Xe'Trygg and I made our way through the city I felt eyes on my back. They felt dark and evil, and yet filled with lust and anger. It was hard to pin point where they came from because my mate attracted the eyes of everyone. But on that note, so did I. While there were humans on the planet--in fact most of the planet was dominated by humans-- I was still different from them. Not only was I holding hands with a big silver Xolt, I was also tiny compared to the Arcain humans. Their limbs seemed to be longer then an Earthian human's and their eyes looked slightly different, wider almost. Truthfully I was uncomfortable being around these creatures, like I was going to get jumped or something. Xe'Trygg understood how I felt but he didn't want to leave me out of his sight. We were walking what I would call a modern day bazaar when someone grabbed my arm and tried to pull me away from the group. I shrieked and tried to shake him off of me, he turned out to be a "dancer" who was in need of money. Jing took pity on the Arcain human and gave him enough money to buy some food for the evening. But it was after that experience I felt the eyes on my back get darker. *~**~* "Jing, I don't think anything is happening to me." I walked into his room while our mates were working else where on the ship. Jing was on his couch reading a book when I said that and he dropped the book and laughed at me. "Jeez, Steven, I didn't think you'd be this worked up. Just like puberty, things happen at different rates of speed. You just happen to be slower then the rest of us, which could be because you are human. It happens, Stevie." "You don't understand. I don't feel different at all. I drank him for the first time almost a week ago, and then frequently from then on. Shouldn't something have happened by now?" I plopped myself down next to my cat-friend and lounged on his lap. It comforted me to some level being around him and his children, not sure why but it did. "Just give it time, hun. It'll happen when it happens," he smiled as he brushed my hair back. It didn't change how I felt about my situation. Could it be because I was human I couldn't have children? It was possible, but it was also something that I didn't want to consider. Not only would it hurt me, but it would crush Xe'Trygg. He wanted a family so badly that if I couldn't give him a child...Well, I would feel like an incompetent mate. The Xolt Ch. 02 We spent about a week on Arcaina. I got clothes that would fit me as well as some shoes and a few accessories. Jing went to a table that had hand-crafted hair things for sale and he bought me a metal hair clasp that was similar to a chop-stick. The difference was the blue glass beads hanging off the stick. His reasoning was that it was one of his favourite things while his hair was long and thought that I would like one as well. I think it was just because he thought it looked pretty on me. On our last day on the new planet Jing decided that he wanted to visit his old tavern. It was an old place that was probably amazing during it's time, but looked ratty now. There was an old crone of a lady who looked at Jing and fell backwards. She must've been the lady who took Jing in. Personally she did not appear to be a nice lady. Jing was satisfied that he proved his past wrong, that he could be a somebody, and we were about to leave. At least, that was the plan. I was walking down the dingy streets in the "red light district" when suddenly I couldn't see. I started to scream, but nothing change. I was being kidnapped. *~**~* The area was moist but very cold. It could have been that I was out for so long that I was in a new country. Or it could be a change in atmosphere. What ever it was I did not like it. The creatures that had me captive were talking amongst themselves. "How much do ya wager he'd go for?" One asked, slurping up what ever food or drink he had been enjoying. At least I hoped it was a food or drink. My brain went back to my past and thought of a horror movie where the monster would eat the human. "Oh, who knows, eh? I mean he is human right, eh?" Another replied. He at least sounded less of a pig. "Quiet. You fools do realize he can understand us, don't you?" This last voice...I recognized that voice. It was the voice of that dancer on our second day! That asshole was a scout! I was so pissed off that I adjusted the way I was sitting—just a little bit. But that was enough for them. "Oh! Look at who's awake now!" "Looks like he could use a beating, eh?" "Enough you two, there's no point in damaging the goods now is ther—" Smack! I didn't know what was happening, but I knew it was a good thing. A warm body picked me up and I started to scream and struggle. Then I smelt him. Xe'Trygg. He came for me. "Shh, baby, I'm taking you home." *~**~* Once we got back to the ship, Xe'Trygg threw me onto the bed and tore out of his clothes. He crawled next to me and kissed my neck and collar bone. "I couldn't protect you," he whispered. "I couldn't save you from those monsters. You shouldn't have been put through that." I felt a small tremor shake through his body. "I'm so sorry, baby." I turned to him and straddled his lap. Bending down I kissed him. I traced his lips and begged him to open for me. I sucked his slim muscle in my mouth as I kissed him. "I love you, Xe'Trygg." I trailed kisses down his neck and unbuttoned his shirt and slipped it off his broad shoulders. Moving down I kissed his pecks and nipples, and even farther I kissed his abs and lower stomach. I felt him quiver underneath me. "I want you to make love to me," I whispered, "please." Xe'Trygg reversed our positions and pulled my pants off my legs and placed them on his shoulders. He reached into the bedside desk and pulled out a bottle of lube. I felt his cold, slick finger enter me, pumping in and out. He added a second and soon a third and fourth. "Are you ready for me?" He huffed into my ear. "Please, now," I moaned spreading my legs. He lubed his cock up and slowly entered me. It hurt for a few moments but he didn't move until it became a dull thud. I nodded and he started to move. He changed his angle slightly and brushed my prostate and I came of the bed, clutching to his body. "Oh, god!" I yelled, scratching my mates back. "Fuck, Steven, so fucking good. I wanted this for so long, oh gods, so good." He growled pumping in and out of me. I felt my body quiver and I came between our bodies. My tight hole milking my mates cock, he came as well, filling his seed with in me. Xe'Trygg kept pumping until he finished and fell on top of me. "I love you." "I love you, too." Xolt: End Thanks for ya'll who've read this story. I feel like over all it was a tad longer then the previous stories I have written! This is my first official attempt at Science Fiction, I feel like much more practice is needed, but please feel free to add comments and suggestions (Yes I know I need an editor but so far none such luck). Just to update on Lina (because I know we promised a new series) she has taken it upon herself to add MORE courses to her plate, on top of a full time job. That woman is insane, but she has given me the go ahead to start the story. She said that once she has more time she will add her parts. By then we will have to change the formatting! So look forward to that story coming up soon! Thanks for the votes and comments! Hope Ya'll have a great day ;) ~~Tae <3 The Xolt "I want to know everything." "Ha, I don't even know where to start." He looked at my face and sighed. Like all was right in the world because I was with him on his bed. Because I was all that ever mattered to him. "I guess I'll tell you what's on my mind first. I just want to say thank you for trying, I know I'm asking a lot from you. When you fainted I freaked out and called Xe'Zhi, he said that you'd be fine. While he checked you he gave you a translator, which has been imbedded into your brain. That being said we had to give you pain killers. Your head will be sore for the next couple of days, but nothing should happen. All Xoltarins have translators as well, so it's a process we know well. We are a strange group because as far as I know the Xoltarin Republic is the only group that souly lives in space ships. Centuries ago the Xolt were slaves on a planet called Arcaina. Primarily rule by two countries; the country Arcaina and the country Crythesis. Arcaina was mainly a human country, but within there were other species as well. The Xolt were one of them. We were praised for our strength and used as guards and labor. From what I learnt, we were in chains and had no rights. If the humans wanted us whipped, we were tied to poles. If they wanted to take advantage of us, we were tied to their beds. After the war broke out we were scattered. Some Xolts went to the vampires who lived in Crythesis; some went with the Humans of Arcaina. The Xolt Republic left the planet entirely. 'The people of the land in the sky' was what the Arcain and Crythesisian people called them, but they were essentially what Earth calls Angels. They took us in and taught us how to survive on our own, how to repair ships, to create more, and languages. Once they were pleased that we were suffient on our own they took their own ships and left that world, to their own. They too spilt into two groups. No one really knows what happened to them, but the Xolt wouldn't question them if they needed our help. From what I've leant in books and talks with our elders, we are also different in appearance. The Xolt who still live on Arcaina have skin the color of sand and hair that ranges from black to lavender, where as we have white skin and green hair. But one thing that has remained the same was our ability to procreate. Seeing as we have no females, every Xolt has the ability to have children. Two Xolt have sex, the dominate partner will release his seamen into the passive partner to fertilize the eggs. Much like reptiles do on Earth. But instead of laying the eggs, we keep them within our bodies. The eggs hatch within us, feeding the young in our abdomen. When the young reach a certain point the passive Xolt is rushed to the medics and a c-section is performed." He paused to see my reaction. It was freaky as hell, I'll admit it. I wanted no part of child birth; to be honestly truthful I never really paid any attention to it in class either. And really, I wasn't ready for kids anyway; I was still struggling to admit how much I cared for Xe'Trygg. "Now here's one of the biggest things that most beings have issues with," he began. He was sitting up by this point, looking me in the eyes. "All Xolt have the ability to change the genetic code of DNA. My captain has done it with his mate, Jing-Ko. But the only way that the change is possible is the non-Xolt drinks our seamen." My eyes widened. "The changes aren't too drastic. The non-Xolt will have the ability to produce young if the Xolt can, this is the main change. We've also noticed that sometimes eyes will change, or sometimes scales appear. Occasionally hair has changed color, but no non-Xolt has ever changed completely to become Xolt themselves." My heart started to beat a mile a minute. I know he just wanted me to be sure of everything, but it was not something I wanted to hear, especially not while I was trying to come to terms with being in love with an Alien. A Xolt. If I gave him a simple blow job and drank his cum, I would become one of them. I wanted to stay me, I didn't want to change! "I-I don't know if I can do that," I started, "I-I--" "Shh, don't worry, Steven. I'm not going to make you do anything you don't want to do. I will never hurt you, remember?" He brushed my hair from out of my eyes and kissed the top of my head. "I will protect you from anything and anyone. If anyone ever hurts you, I will tear their head from their shoulders to protect you. You are my mate, and I will love and protect you until the day I die." He pulled me into his strong arms and rested my head against his chest. "I love you, Steven." As much as I wanted to say that I loved him back I couldn't. I couldn't open my mouth and even take a breath. I know that in that very instant that I hurt him, but he kept hugging me, brushing my blond hair with his fingers and kissing the top of my head. He said something, but he was too quiet and I couldn't hear. "Thank you," I whispered as I kissed his neck. *~**~* That night he refused to sleep in the same bed as me. He said that he wanted to make sure that I was comfortable before he took up the rest of the space, so instead he slept on the couch. Over the past 48 hours I hadn't left the bedroom so I had no idea how well he slept, or what the living room even really looked like. But I was sure that with time I would. I wasn't planning on going anywhere. The next morning I woke up to the smell of bacon and I realized that I hadn't had food since the night I was taken. I was starving and thirsty. The shutters to the window were open and I saw the stars. It was amazing. Then, another ship...Then another. I was amazed to count nine ships in total. Nine ships made the Xolt Republic. But this ship was his, his home and his life and I would stay with him till the end. I walked into the bathroom and relieved myself. While washing my hands I noticed how grungy I looked. My blond hair that normally hung smoothly was ruffled and knotted. My clothes were wrinkled and smelt. My skin looked like it was oily and needed a good washing, so I took my clothes off and walked into the large glass shower. The water was heavenly, warm with out being too hot or cold. The jets hitting all my pressure points were helping me relax. I took what looked like shampoo and lathered it in my hair. It smelt...Interesting. Like lavender and sandalwood, but also...kind of like the desert. I couldn't fully grasp what it smelt like, but I knew that I liked it. In fact I rubbed it into my skin so that I could smell it all day. Then I remembered that I had no other clothing. "Um..." I started, "Ryan? I have a question for you." Hopefully it was loud enough for him to hear. If not I was screwed. The door shot up into the ceiling and made a clicking sound. There he stood. He wore a pair of black silk pants but no shirt. His skin was flawless, his nipples gray with a ting of pink, and his muscles well sculpted. His green hair was thrown over his shoulders and he looked like he could have been an exotic prince. His piercings glimmered in the light of the bathroom. He smiled when he saw me. I looked down and blushed, covering my genitals. He then smelt the air and chuckled. "Been using my shower gel?" He asked, walking to the glass with a towel in hand. "I couldn't see anything else," I murmured. He nodded and walked back to the door as soon as I had the towel around my waist. "What's your question?" He asked, "I need to get back to the kitchen before the food burns." "I don't have any clothes," I said, "What am I supposed to wear?" "In my closet is a back pack full of your clothes. I packed it before we left. Hopefully it'll last till we get to the next planet where we can buy you new clothes." I knit my brows together. Closet? He had a closet? I searched the whole room and I couldn't find a closet. Xe'Trygg noticed my confusion and laughed at me. "You don't expect things to be the same as Earth do you?" He smiled. He took my hand and gently showed me to the wall closest to the door. I liked to sleep near the window and I kind of felt weird being on the other side of the room. Xe'Trygg placed his hand on a small dark gray box and the wall moved, showing me what his closet looked like. I found my pack instantly. "Thank you," I smiled as I pulled a pair of jeans out. They smelt like home and it made me very happy. "No problem. Come into the next room when you're ready to eat, I'll be waiting for you." And off he went. I watched as his strong back, broad shoulders, and swift tail moved out of the room. I think I could learn to love that, I thought. *~**~* I dressed quickly only to find Xe'Trygg still cooking. I was surprised to see that they had stoves on the ship, but I had a feeling it was just a personal preference of Xe'Trygg's. "Hey," I said. He didn't turn to look at me and he kept cooking. I was okay with that, his back was just as beautiful as his front. The way his deep green hair fell down his broad back...The way his pants hung off his waist. The contrast of the darkness to the paleness of his silver-white scales. He was truly beautiful. Why he wanted me was a wonder. I didn't consider myself good looking in any way. Blond hair fell in waves and rested just above my shoulder. Blue eyes, slim figure--barely any muscle--tall at 6'2". My voice was manly but not very deep, I guess if you had to put a title on me it would be twink. Personally, though, titles were bad for the mind. If you think about them too much you become the titles, a stereotype. I was taught in school and at home to never give into them. "Hey, did you have a good sleep?" What ever he was cooking smelt amazing. It was a mixture of bacon and something else. My stomach growled and Xe'Trygg laughed at me. "You're hungry, that's good." We turned around and sat on the couch in front of the large screen TV. He took both of our plates and set them on the wooden table then took his seat. He looked at me and smiled. I felt my heart skip a beat. "I hope you like breakfast. Bacon, Xii egg and lettuce on baked bread. Xii egg is kind of like a chicken egg only it comes from a bigger bird." "It's green." "Well, do you like them on a train? Do you like them in the rain?" He laughed at his own joke. It was interesting to see how much he really knew about our culture. Dr. Seuss was a childhood favorite of mine and I was glad to know he liked it too. "Don't be such a chicken. It's good for you." I picked up the fork and scooped a piece of the green egg into my mouth. It wasn't bad, in fact it was good, but it was sweeter then a regular chicken egg. I ate everything as fast as I could. I knew that he wouldn't take the food away, in fact he would more then likely give me more, but I was so hungry it didn't really matter. Xe'Trygg didn't say anything, but out of the corner of my eye I saw him smirk. After breakfast we sat on the couch together. He pulled me to close to him and he smelt my hair. "You smell so good, Steven." He rubbed my back. "I smell like you," I chuckled, leaning into his hand. "Good," he kissed the top of my head. Gently rubbing my arms he moved his lips to my nose. "I don't think I really gave you time to ask any questions. What do you have for me?" "Why do you have a stove? Where are we going? Where is your family? How old are you? Why are the Xolt learning about Humans?" I started listing out so many questions at once that he pressed his white fingers against my lips to stop me. Laughing he kissed my head and told me how curious I was. "I have a stove because I like cooking. He have duplicators that will give us basically anything but I like cooking my own food. Currently we are heading to a planet we have already visited before, but Captain Xe'Hul won't tell us where. My mother and father live in another ship and my two older brothers live here with me. I am about 2026 Xolt years, that's equal to about 26 in human years. As for your last question, it's not so much 'humans' that we're studying, it's the Earth. If we wanted to study humans we could've just stayed on Arcaina. The Earth is so different from any other planet we've ever been too, that being the case; we wanted to learn more about. Perhaps in the future our kind will be welcome on Earth. We have other Xolt on other planets to gather research as well. So it's not just Earth." He smiled, "What else?" "When you spoke to that other alien--" "Xe'Zhi." "--Xe'Zhi, you referred to him as 'Xolt'. What was that supposed to mean? Who is the Capitan? Who is Jing-Ko? Why me?" "Xolt is a term we use that is similar to 'brother' or 'friend' in English. Capitan Xe'Hul owns this ship and he is mated to Jing. Jing is a Chanture from Arcaina, he kind of looks like a humanoid version of a cat. 'Ko' is just the honorific for the passive mate. 'Xing' is the honorific for the dominate mate." He kissed me, "as for why you...When I first met you, you looked at your brothers friends and smiled. No matter what your brother did to you, you kept smiling and going on. You accepted us for who we were. There was goodness in you that I craved so badly. Besides, wanting to teach and help others is a honorable profession." I smiled and kissed him. This kiss was different though, mainly because I initiated it, but also because there was more passion. Xe'Trygg took my bottom lip into his mouth and his sucked on it. We both took turns and we were breathing raggedly after a few minutes. I looked at the man before me and I saw the signs of sexual attraction. His pale face was slightly flushed, his breathing was rapid, and he had a growing erection. Xe'Trygg was hung. I guessed about 9.5 inches. Compared to me that was massive, I was only 6 inches when fully hard. "Steven, I love you." "I---" "Where is he?!" "Oh shit..." Chapter 2 "Where is he?!" "Oh shit..." "What's going on?" I asked my hard on gone completely. I notice that Xe'Trygg also deflated and looked slightly pissed as well. I looked at the bedroom from the couch and I noticed a man...cat-thing walking around sniffing the air. He had poofy white hair jutting out in every angle, two white cat ears at the top of his head and a long fluffy white tail. His eyes were amber, with out pupils and his stomach looked big and hard. He was about my height and could have been my age. "Jing-ko, what are you doing here? How'd you get in?" Xe'Trygg asked, standing up in front of me. "I found the code in my mates notes. Where is he, I wanna meet him!" The cat looked impatient, but as soon as he noticed me he bounced from the bed to the couch in no time at all. "Oh, he's so pretty. Did the humans on Arcaina look like him?" He asked trying to look around my protector. "Yes, but he's still kind of scared. You need to give him some space Jing." I touched Xe'Trygg's arm and he moved out of the way. I wanted to get a better look at this new creature in front of me. Back on earth I loved cats, but my father was allergic to them so we couldn't have one. Jing sat on his knees in front of me on the floor and looked up. He looked really curious and it made me want to laugh. His tail flicked from one side to the other and I could tell that sitting was not what he wanted to do. "Hello," he smiled, giving me his hand, "My name is Jing and I'm mated to Xe'Trygg's brother, Xe'Hul." "I thought Xe'Hul was the Capitan of the ship?" I asked looking at Xe'Trygg, my big, tall Xolt. "Well, yeah," Jing said nodding, "he is technically, but they are also brothers. So is Xe'Zhi. They're the only ones on the ship with names that all start the same." "I thought all Xolt names started with 'Xe'..." Jing laughed at me and slapped his knee, "No, only those three. I think things would get confusing if every one had Xe' in the beginning, don't you think?" My alien huffed and left the room. I looked as his sat on the bed, pulling something out of his pant pocket. "I guess," I said, looking at him as he read something of the blue screen. "So then, does that make you my brother or something?" Jing knit his white eyebrows together, "I don't understand what that means." "It means you are related by name but not blood," Xe'Trygg yelled from the other room. I didn't understand why he was so pissed; Jing seemed like a really nice guy. I sat on the floor with him. I wasn't scared of him, in fact he was cute. I liked cats... "Oh...Well, yes then." Jing smiled, "So you trust me?" He took my hand into his and he smelled me. "You smell like your mate. That's good; no one's going to mess around with you then." "Why'd you smell me?" I asked with my head bent back. I wasn't used to people smelling me; in fact I didn't understand why Xe'Trygg did it. "I'm memorizing your scent so that I can find you." He smiled, giving my hand back, "Plus it's out of habit. I was blind not too long ago so that was how I learnt who was who." "You were blind?" I asked, bending forward to looking into his eyes. His eyes looked just like all the other Xolt's I met, just a different color. They also looked more glossy. They were a wonderful shade of amber, they almost looked gold. "Yeah, when my mate first met me I was blind and working in a brothel. He saved me. I was just changed not too long ago, now I'm pregnant. Oh! Here, feel!" He took my hand again and gently placed it on his stomach. It was cool, because it felt just like my mothers belly when she was pregnant with my brother. There was a male who was pregnant right in front of me, and he was happy about it. "Are you happy?" I asked, rubbing his belly. "Of course, I'm having children with the man I love the most. I would never have this opportunity if I stayed on Arcaina. As a gay male Chanture you couldn't have children, but with my mate I can. I've always wanted children, so this is a dream come true for me." He was glowing as he said that and it made me feel better about my new life. "I only wonder how many we're going to have." He chuckled. "Why? I was told that the most you could have at one given time was three." I asked, Jing had lain down and I put my ear to his distended belly but all I could hear was his breathing. "While that's true, as a cat-being and a Xolt it is in our nature to have lots of children. So just having three at one time wont stop us another." "I think we should stop at three," I heard a newer lower voice and I jumped up and looked at the new comer. His hair was shorter then his brothers and was in a ponytail. If it was lying naturally it would land somewhere between his shoulder blades. "But what if I want more?" Jing pouted, crossing his arms. "Too bad," the Xolt laughed. He opened his strong arms and Jing bounced to his feat and ran to him. Leaning forward he pouted his lips and the Xolt bent down and kissed him. I was relieved to see such a happy couple. I really wanted that with Xe'Trygg. The contrast between the lovers though was funny. It was almost like my brother sitting in a floral couch. Jing was white and fluffy with tan skin where as Xe'Hul was green and sleek with white scales. Xe'Hul was tall and muscular and Jing was short and lanky. I was very happy for them, and I wished for their best. "It's an honor to meet my brother's mate. My name is Xe'Hul; I'm the Capitan of this ship." He was nice and when he smiled he looked less frightening, if only Xe'Zhi smiled. Maybe I'd like him more. "It's a pleasure to meet my mate's brother. I'm Steven, I come from Earth," I smiled. I felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around me and I leaned into my mates embrace. He kissed the side of my head and smiled. If I could make him happy then everything would be alright. "By the way," Xe'Trygg whispered, "he's the one who dealt with your absence at home. If you have any questions he would be the one to ask." Then he kissed me again. The Xolt "What did happen to my family?" I asked, eyeing the Xolt. "I simply gave them what humans would say is a 'running away' letter," Xe'Hul shrugged his shoulders. "Dear Mother and Father, As much as I love you all, I cannot bare this place any longer. I am off with my lover. I want you all to know that I have no regrets. Your son, Steven It was a fairly generic letter." "I wrote it!" Jing smiled, "Xe'Trygg was on Earth and I lived with humans for most of my life. So I wrote it then got the computer to translate it into English. We printed it and gave it to Xe'Trygg to place in your room. You're not mad are you?" Jing looked worried and he hugged me. He patted my head and kiss my cheek. "I'm sorry, Steven. We didn't mean to make you sad." My mate touched my face and wiped my tears, "I'm sorry I hurt you Steven." I turned around and buried my face into his inviting chest and started to cry. I really missed my family, even my bigot brother. I barely heard Jing and Xe'Hul leave as I cried. My mate rubbed my back and told me how sorry he was for ruining my life and that he never wanted me to cry. He promised that he would make me smile for the rest of my life. Sometime during my fit I fell asleep and when I woke up I was in bed resting on Xe'Trygg's bicep. I couldn't believe how right and safe I felt in his arms. Everything I knew or thought about aliens was wrong. Or at least they were wrong about him. My mate. "I have always loved you, Xe'Trygg. Even when I didn't think I could, I did." I kissed his hand. "That's the first time, you know, that you've called me by my name. My real name," I looked up and saw him looking into my eyes. His blue eyes looked sad and yet proud at the same time. His mouth was turned into a goofy grin. "I love you, Steven." I started to cry, "I love you, too..." He placed his hands on either side of my face and looked concerned, "Are you okay? Are you hurt some where?" He asked, looking around my body. "No, I'm just happy now," I smiled, "I'm crying happy tears because I know I can love you. I'm happy because I know my mother and father will know I'm happy. And yes they'll be worried and yes they'll miss me, but I am so happy right now I don't know what to do." My mate pulled me up and onto his body and kissed me. "Just...Keep being you, Steven. I will always make you happy, I promise." *~**~* "Steven, are you almost ready to go?" "Yeah, just let me brush my hair!" I was in the bathroom trying to finish getting dressed. We were going to Jing and Xe'Hul's place for dinner. Xe'Zhi was going to be there and it was going to be like a family dinner. It would be the first time in the three weeks I was there. I was getting used to living there and the culture. I was also used to the fact that my mate would always be the dominate one. It never bothered me to begin with only because I liked being the passive partner, but in the Xolt culture it was important for the dominate mates to prove their dominance. Which was why there were all so big and strong. It was also why Xe'Trygg liked it when I used his shower gel; he said that it made me smell like him. The only thing we had trouble with was sex. I could tell that he wanted to have sex, and truthfully so did I, but it seemed like when ever we got onto that topic he would change the direction of the conversation or he would drop it completely. We kissed often enough and our kissed grew passionate quickly, leaving us both hard and aching, but when I went to touch him he would jump up and make an excuse to leave. Tonight at the dinner party I was going to get answers. They may not be from the person who matters, but at least I'll get a better understanding of what he's trying to do. When I left the bathroom, I saw my mate sitting impatiently on the bed. He looked sexier then ever. His green hair was tied up in a bun with a single braid running down his back. He was wearing a pair of silk-like pants and a white shirt. It was a interesting shirt too, because it was like a mix of a tank top and a long sleeved. He was also wearing his uniform issued boots. I, on the other hand, was wearing my last clean pair of dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt. I had nothing nice to wear and I felt silly leaving the room like that but it was all I had. Xe'Trygg said that I looked fine anyway. Over the three weeks I explored the ship a little. There was a common area for all the ship members; there was a 'sporting' room, which in my mind was like a gym. Xe'Trygg said that were was a pool there as well. There was a library, a medical center, a schooling center and then the bridge. The only places I've been were Jing's place and the common area, where Xe'Trygg introduced me to his friends. Xe'Trygg worked in the medical center in a different department then his brother, but at the same time he also worked in the school center and the bridge, where his other brother worked. I found it interesting that the information he got on Earth was going to so many places. I was also proud to find out that the symbol on his uniform meant that he was an important superior. As we came up to Jing's place I smelt food cooking and my stomach growled. Xe'Trygg laughed and me because I hadn't eaten any lunch. I told him it was because the duplicator kept giving him milk when he wanted something. I think it was a prank that my mated decided to do, or the machine could just be broken. "You're here!!" Jing sang as he opened the door. He pulled me into a tight embrace then hugged my mate, "I'm super glad, you have to see thing!" We walked into the apartment and sat on the couch while Jing pulled his silky shirt up, "Now put your hand on my belly." I did while Xe'Trygg looked scared. "What's wrong?" I asked, taking my mates hand. "What if I hurt them?" He whispered to me. "You wont, silly. Just don't press down and they'll be fine, now hurry," Jing ushered. Xe'Trygg carefully placed his hand next to mine. "Oh, here it comes!" Jing exclaimed. Next thing we know a foot juts out of Jing's belly and taps our hands. We both jumped out of our skin, but for two different reasons. I was amazed at how far along Jing was-- which was different from my previous reaction of being told I could get pregnant-- and Xe'Trygg was worried he hurt them. "Did I do something wrong?" He looked at Jing as he held his own hand to his chest. I chuckled; I was used to things like that because of my baby brother. I was six when he was born so I got to experience some of that stuff. "No, but with more then one in there they like to keep moving. It's kind of hard on my body, though." When I looked at Jing I could see that he was tired and when ever I came over he would always tell me how his feet were sore and how he always had to pee. "Does it hurt when they do that?" I asked, I never really did ask my mom. "No, it just feels weird. It's hard to explain, but once you have kids you'll know," Jing winked at me. Jing was the only person I talked to, really. So I told him about how I wanted to have sex but Xe'Trygg didn't. Jing told me to ask him why, but every time I did he wouldn't answer me. "Oh, we're not ready for that just yet," Xe'Trygg answered for us. I was kind of pissed off that he did that. He just assumed that I didn't want children, well he was wrong. Subconcensly I knew that back on Earth my being gay was never going to give me a child. Yes, I could have adopted, but it wouldn't have been the same. So instead I chose to become a teacher. But now I have that chance, I have a chance to have my own children with the man of my life. I understood Jing more. I was pissed off at my mate so I got up and went to visit Xe'Hul. He was talking with Xe'Zhi and I grinned, now was my chance. "Ah, Steven," Xe'Hul smiled as he pulled me into a hug. "It is very nice to see you as usual." "Hello, Steven," Xe'Zhi said, "how are you, today?" "Hey, I'm fine, thanks. I have a question for you guys..." "Sure, go right ahead," Xe'Zhi said, his brother nodded. "Does Xe'Trygg ever talk about us?" Both brothers looked at me strangely, "I mean...God; I can't believe I'm going to say this, but he wont has sex with me..." I ended up getting quieter and quieter with each word. The brother looked as if they were trying to hold back laughter and I was suddenly really embarrassed. I started to walk away when they pulled me closer to them and apologized. "Sorry," Xe'Hul said, "We don't mean to laugh but we never expected you to ever say that." "Mmhm, judging from the way you reacted when we first met we never thought you'd be interested in sex. And even if you hadn't reacted the way you did, we never thought you'd ever say that. Forgive us." The both bent their heads in apology. "That's fine...It's just I thought that you guys would know, that's all." I said, I couldn't believe how red my face felt. I was never this embarrassed in my whole life. "Well, yes we do actually," Xe'Hul said, "he's taking tradition rather seriously, isn't he?" "Yes, I never expected that from him. He must be in great pain." Xe'Zhi looked at me and smiled, "Xolt tradition is that we do not have sex with our mates until they claim union." "Which is like getting married on Earth," the other brother added. "We do this so that we know our mates are true. But it's also a torture because until we mate, our hormones go into a 'over drive' if you will. Our need to mate gets stronger each day. Has our brother been...Smelling different?" I had noticed that lately he smelt more spicy. He smelt less like flowers and more like the desert and spices. I nodded. "That is what we call a mating scent. It lets others know that he is preparing to mate. It's a warning to that we don't do something stupid to anger him. The Xolt get angered fast while in mating need. It only gets worse during mating season." "That's coming up soon isn't it?" Xe'Hul said, "I wonder what Jing and I are going to do." The other brother laughed, "Have sex carefully." The of the evening was great, I wasn't embarrassed any more and was satisfied to know why Xe'Trygg was doing what he did. But I was still pissed at him and he noticed but didn't say anything. He probably didn't even understand why I was pissed, but he tried to make it better by trying to do things for me. Even Jing noticed I was pissed and when he pulled me aside and asked if it was because of what Xe'Trygg said. When I answered yes he smiled and said that he was happy I was enjoying my life on the ship. Once we got home I took my sneakers off and dropped them by the door and went into the washroom. I wasn't doing anything in it, but I was waiting to see if Xe'Trygg would notice. He did. "Steven, what's wrong? I can't understand if you don't tell me." "Same goes to you," I said. I was happy I learnt how to use the controls for the doors. "What is that supposed to mean?" I opened the door and rushed to the bed. I sat down and crossed my legs. I was wearing my under wear and I left my shirt in the bathroom. "Do I not appeal to you?" I asked, "Am I not sexy enough for you?" His face flushed as he looked me up and down. "Of course you turn me on, what kind of question is that?" He asked. I smelt that spicy desert scent and I had to fight back a moan. And while I may have succeeded with that my hard on was another story. "Then why won't you touch me?" I asked. I wanted him so badly that I hurt for him. But it probably wasn't as bad as the hurt he was going through. "S-Steven?! What are you--" "Is it the union thing? Because Xe'Trygg, I love you so much that seeing you hurt is the last thing I want. I want to pleasure you and make you feel like a god. I would gladly join union with you." His face softened and he smiled at me. I glanced down to his crotch and saw how turned on he really was. I swear he was going to jump out of those pants of he got any harder. "Really?" he asked, kneeling on the edge of the bed. "Really. I love you, Xe'Trygg. I always will, even when you piss me off." He pushed me down onto my back and kissed my neck, "I'll have to get us a symbol of our love, then. I will gladly join union with you, Steven." He kissed me, tracing my lips with his tongue. I opened to him and sucked his tongue. I pulled him down to me as I traced his back with my hands. I moved my hands down his back to his tail. I grasped the base and gently stroked it. I felt him moan into my mouth. "Make love to me," I whispered, touching his cock. It was bigger then the last time I'd seen it hard, and it made my mouth water. "Gladly," he growled into my ear.
