"Go get cleaned up," Gru told him. "When you're ready, we'll leave."
Eric slid off the bar stool and strode toward the bathing chamber. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Eric dropped the blanket. He took the stairs that were cut into the ground and walked into the bathing pool. The warm water churned, moving around him. Eric closed his eyes and sank beneath the surface and sat on the bottom of the tub. After about a minute, Eric tilted his head back and stood up. He ran his fingers through his hair, combing the curly strands.
He stayed in the bath, washing, rinsing, and relaxing until his fingers and toes were shriveled. Eric walked up the stairs. He grabbed a towel and dried off. Eric wrapped the material around his waist, cinching it at his hip. He picked up the blanket off the floor before leaving the bathroom.
Gru was waiting for him in the living room. The male stood up in one smooth motion as soon as Eric stepped over the threshold. Eric ran his eyes over the male's body. Gru's shoulders were wide. He had a muscular chest that tapered down to a trim waist. Gru was big and thick. Eric pressed his lips together to keep from groaning. He shook his head, pushing out all the dirty thoughts that clouded his mind. Gru grinned, as if he knew what Eric was thinking.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah." Eric nodded.
Gru strode toward him. The male took the blanket out of Eric's hand and grabbed hold of the towel that was wrapped around his waist. With a gentle tug, the towel fell to the floor.
Eric groaned.
"If you keep looking at me that way, we won't be leaving your quarters today."
Eric glanced down, breaking eye contact. As much as he wanted to take Gru back to his quarters to fuck the day away, Eric wanted to get out and explore. The male wrapped his arm around Eric's shoulders and led him toward the front door. Gru took the leash off the hook and attached it to the collar. Eric still felt conflicted about the collar and leash. Gru didn't treat him like an animal, but he still didn't like it.
"Do I really have to be naked?" Eric kept his voice low, hoping his question wouldn't offend Gru. "I don't feel comfortable going out in public without clothes. I don't like being stared at. And I don't want anyone to touch me."
"Those other males can look at you, but they aren't allowed to touch." Gru wiped a hand down Eric's chest, caressing his skin. "You belong to me and my brothers."
Eric sighed. Why wasn't he allowed to walk around freely? Was he considered inferior? Honestly, Eric didn't know how things worked on Noglion. But William didn't seem to consider the collar and leash to be demeaning, so Eric wouldn't either.
"I don't want you to be upset, but it is the way things are done here," Gru said matter-of-factly. "All non-Noglion races are expected to remain naked at all times, and they must wear a collar and leash when in public, not just humans. It's for your safety and protection. It tells the other Noglions that you are taken and mated."
Eric wanted to say more but decided against it. He didn't want to start an argument with Gru. And since he was living on Noglion, Eric had to follow their rules. The sooner he adapted to his new life, the better. Steeling his nerves, Eric took a deep breath.
Gru pressed his hand against the pad by the front door, and it slid open. The male stepped out, and Eric followed him. Gru held the leash in a loose grip, and he strolled down the dimly lit hallway, and Eric stayed by the male's side. The collar and leash seemed more like an accessory than something an animal would wear. And even though it bothered him, Eric knew this was part of living on Noglion.
He stayed by Gru's side as they walked toward the market. His gaze swept around, taking in his new surroundings. The closer they got to the market, the busier the area became. Mostly with Noglion males, but Eric noticed other alien species, too. The majority of those other races weren't as big as the Noglions, though. They were closer to human size or smaller. As he scanned the crowd, Eric quickly realized that there weren't any females. It wasn't really a surprise, considering his time on Glecerus and Eric's preference for men.
At first, nobody seemed to notice him. But that changed rather quickly. Heads turned in their direction, and the Noglions stared at him. Eric could practically feel their hungry gazes eating him alive. The attention made him feel a bit uncomfortable. Eric moved closer to Gru, wanting to hide his nudity from the other aliens.
Gru didn't seem to mind the attention. If anything, the male puffed up with pride, as if he enjoyed the fact that other males were looking at Eric. A few Noglions even stopped Gru to congratulate him on winning a human mate. They patted his shoulders and smiled broadly.
"This is the Pavo marketplace."
"Wow," he murmured.
Eric stared in amazement at the underground world. It was full of laughter and music. The people of Noglion seemed like a happy race, carefree and joyful. It made Eric smile. There were pubs and trading stalls everywhere. And all of the structures were made up of the same brick-colored stone. The entire city seemed to be carved out of the planet.
Eric stayed by Gru's side as they strolled through the market together. He glanced around, taking in the sights. Noglion males and other alien races lingered in the rows of stalls, purchasing goods and wares. Most of which were unfamiliar to Eric. There were also a few aliens wearing collars and leashes. Knowing that he wasn't the only one made it a little easier for Eric to cope.
And the aroma...Eric inhaled deeply. The smells of the market were different yet familiar. The scent of freshly baked food filled the large expanse. As he inhaled, Eric's mouth watered. Freshly baked bread, cheese, and meat were easy to detect, but there was also the fragrance of sweet pastries. Even though he had eaten only a short time ago, Eric's stomach growled.
Eric's eyes were wide with wonder as he tried to take it all in. This world was new and overwhelming. There were so many different sights and sounds and smells. He stopped and turned in a slow circle.
Gru gave his leash a gentle tug. Eric glanced over at the male and quickly closed the distance between them. It was probably a good thing that the damn leash was attached to him. Otherwise, Eric would probably get lost. Safety and protection, it made sense. Anyone new to Noglion would probably get lost among the crowd.
Gru stopped in front of a stall. There were rows of neatly stacked plants. Small and round, long and thin, some had spikes, and others looked like flowers. Gru pointed to a few different items, and the vendor picked them up and put them into a burlap sack. He handed it to Gru, and the male grabbed it, wrapping his hand around the top of the bag.
"I'll charge your account, Commander."
Gru nodded. "Thank you."
The male went to a few other vendors, purchasing different types of food. When he was done, Gru pulled Eric asked and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Eric shrugged. "I could eat."
"Let's go to one of the dining stalls."
Eric arched a brow. "Dining stalls?"
"It's a place to relax and eat and enjoy some entertainment."
"Okay."
Gru led Eric to a dining stall located just outside of the bustling marketplace. It was different than any restaurant Eric had ever been to. Rather than tables and chairs or booths, each party lounged on thick pads on the floor. Noglions, along with alien males, reclined back on their elbows or sat cross-legged eating from platters of food. The space was lit up by lamps contained within wrought-iron sconces of varying designs along the walls.
There was live music playing on a raised dais. The sounds come from different sized drums and string and brass instruments. It was heady and tribal.
Eric walked to the beat as they moved through the dining stall to an empty pad. He took a seat beside Gru and glanced around at the other patrons seated in the restaurant. Eric quickly realized that some of the aliens were having sex while others were performing various sexual acts on one another. Even the couple at the table beside them was playing with each other. The Noglion male growled as his leashed alien mate buried his face between his legs, sucking his big hard shaft d
own to the root.
Eric's eyes widened, and he looked away, averting his gaze.
"It's okay," Gru whispered in his ear. "You can watch, pet."
Eric looked at his mate.
"There's no reason to be shy."
"I just wasn't expecting..." His voice trailed off.
Gru started laughing. "Your cheeks are pink."
"We're in public."
Gru grinned wickedly. "We don't deny ourselves pleasure here on Noglion."
Chapter Twelve
As if to prove his point, Gru connected their lips in a passionate kiss. Eric opened his mouth. Their tongues twisted together, moving. The male tasted wild and exciting. Even though they were in public, Eric had to admit that he was extremely turned on. He couldn't hide his erection. It was on display for everyone to see.
Gru pulled Eric onto his lap and arranged him. He wrapped his muscular arms around Eric, holding him against the wall of his chest in a tight embrace. All the sounds around them seemed to fade away, disappearing, as Eric lost himself in Gru's arms. Had he only just arrived on Noglion yesterday? It felt as though he'd been here so much longer.
The male buried a hand in Eric's hair. Gru pulled back, breaking the kiss. His kissed Eric's neck, sucking on his skin.
"You taste good enough to eat," he murmured, nibbling on his throat.
Eric groaned. It felt so damn good.
Gru reached out and picked up a small morsel of food from a platter on their table. He brought it up to Eric's lips, holding the juicy tidbit in front of his mouth.
"I can feed myself."
The male shook his head. "I want to serve you, pet."
Eric spread his lips apart, and Gru put the bite-sized piece of meat into his mouth. Eric chewed slowly, savoring the flavor. He wasn't sure what type of animal it came from, but the meat was tender and cooked to perfection. Eric couldn't help but smile.
It felt strange to have the huge Noglion warrior feed him, as if he were a small child instead of a grown man. Gru picked up a cup and lifted it, offering Eric a drink.
"What is that?" He asked, wondering if it was the same mead he'd been served before the competition.
Gru smiled. "It's moonshine from the planet of Vupriri."
Eric arched a brow. "Moonshine, huh? Are you trying to get me drunk?"
Gru chuckled. "Maybe."
The male lifted the goblet up to Eric's lips and tilted the cup. Eric took a drink, swallowing the contents. The liquid was strong and sweet, but also tart. The moonshine splashed against his tongue and burned a trail of lava down his throat. Eric blew out a breath. It was strong, stronger than he expected. Gru offered him another drink, and Eric took it.
Gru fed Eric bite after bite until, finally, Eric was full. Leaning back against Gru's chest, Eric closed his eyes, relaxing into the larger male. It didn't take long for Eric to feel the moonshine working its way through his system. Warmth spread through Eric's body, making him tingle.
Gru lifted Eric from his lap and placed him on the table. His body was humming, and he was restless. He didn't know what to expect as he sat there waiting anxiously. Gru leaned over and swallowed his cock from tip to root. The male's hot, wet mouth enveloped his shaft. Eric's hips bucked, and the male grabbed his hips, keeping him in place. Pleasure exploded, and he cried out.
Gru groaned as he sucked Eric's cock. The male took Eric down his throat, swallowing him completely. Gru sucked hard, moving in a steady, relentless rhythm up and down, maintaining tight suction. He moved one of his hands to cup Eric's balls.
Eric looked down and caught Gru's eyes. The male was watching him. Reaching out, Eric palmed Gru's bald head. Gru bobbed his head up and down while sucking gently. Hollowing his cheeks, Gru pulled up until only the head of Eric's cock was left in the male's mouth. Using his tongue, the male played with the slit on the top of his shaft.
"Oh god," Eric groaned. "So good, so good," he panted as his head dropped back.
Gru pulled back, taking his hot mouth off Eric's cock.
"Need you, pet," Gru said. "I need you now."
Gru flipped up his loincloth, exposing his hard cock. Eric looked down at the male's hard shaft. His cock was already slicked up with oil, and pre-cum oozed from the slit. The male flipped Eric over so that he was lying on the table with his ass hanging off. Gru moved, kneeling behind Eric. Gru rubbed the head of his shaft up and down the crease of Eric's ass, spreading oil over Eric's hole, and his sphincter muscle instantly relaxed.
"I've been meaning to ask about the oil," Eric said, glancing over his shoulder.
Gru winked. "It's my body responding to you, pet. My cock is leaking lubrication."
The natural lubricant from Gru's cock worked its magic, filling Eric with euphoria. The male pressed the tip of his dick against Eric's hole. He moved his hips back and forth, teasing Eric, but he didn't breach his ass.
"The oil makes it easier for me to enter you. It relaxes your muscles so that I can penetrate you without having to stretch your ass."
"Fuck me," Eric breathed out. He couldn't wait any longer.
Gru didn't spend any time stretching him, but he didn't need to. Eric had sex only a few hours ago. One deep thrust and Gru breached his hole. The male moved slowly, burying his thick length into Eric's ass. Eric groaned. He was stuffed full and stretched out, and nothing felt better. Gru moved slowly, pulling out before thrusting back in. The male's thick cock slid in and out of Eric's ass, spreading him wider with each thrust.
The thick head of Gru's dick rubbed against Eric's prostate gland. On each downward stroke, Eric moaned. He pressed his hips back, meeting each of Gru's strokes. The male moved faster. He pressed harder, thrusting deep, in and out of Eric's body. Soon, they matched each other's rhythm, following the beat of the drums. Gru wrapped a hand around Eric's cock, stroking him from root to tip. The male rode him hard and fast, fucking Eric as he jacked his erection.
Eric writhed against the table, desperate for release. He was barely hanging on. Eric cried out. He grabbed hold of the edge of the table, needing the leverage.
"I love your cock," Eric said breathlessly. "It's so big and thick."
The male's cock filled him, stretching his ass.
"It's yours, pet," Gru growled. "I'm all yours."
Gru pinned him down against the table and slammed into him, driving his big cock as deep as he could go. This wasn't slow and gentle. This was hardcore fucking, alpha-Noglion-male style. Gru didn't hold anything back. He pounded in and out of Eric with so much force that the table moved across the floor. Gru tightened grip as he buried himself into Eric. The male pumped his hips, fucking Eric in a series of long, quick thrusts.
"Oh God," Eric moaned. "Ah...ah...ah..."
Gru rotated his hips and slammed into Eric, hard and fast and deep.
"Come for me, pet," Gru demanded. "Give me what I want."
"Yes! Gru! Yes!" Eric shouted out as an intense orgasm ripped through him. "I'm coming!" Doing as ordered, Eric tossed his head back and came, shooting hot jets of spunk on the table.
"Eric," he roared. The male's cock throbbed, jerking as he came inside of Eric's ass, filling him with hot seed.
Gru dropped down, collapsing on Eric's back. They held on to each other and moaned, their bodies trembling and convulsing. When the waves passed and his breathing steadied, Eric opened his eyes.
It took a moment, but he quickly remembered that they were still in the dining stall. Eric ducked his head, pressing his face against Gru's chest, hiding from the other patrons and onlookers. Whistles and cheers rang out, filling the dining stall.
Gru chuckled, his chest vibrating. He wasn't embarrassed at all. In fact, he seemed to enjoy the attention. The male laid gentle kisses on the back of Eric's neck and shoulder. After a few minutes, Gru leaned back, slowly removing his cock from Eric's ass. The male wrapped his arms around Eric's waist, pulling him back down onto his lap. Eric let out a contented sigh and leaned his head against Gru's chest.
Gru grab
bed the goblet off the table and brought it to Eric's lips. He took a sip of the moonshine and then another. Everything about the morning had been amazing, sexy, and incredibly intense. If every day started off like this, Eric would love living on Noglion.
* * * *
Gru put his finger under Eric's chin and lifted the young man's face. He pressed his lips firmly against Eric's. Gru couldn't believe how wonderful Eric felt in his arms. His human pet felt like heaven. Eric's beautiful naked body fit perfectly in the circle of his embrace. The human seemed to have been made for him to hold.
Eric moaned. The human parted his lips, and Gru took advantage. He slid his tongue into the young man's mouth, tasting this little pet. Eric's tongue felt like velvet against his. Gru gently sucked on it. He was overwhelmed with emotions. Even though he'd just fucked his pet, Gru's cock filled with heat.
Reaching between Eric's ass cheeks, he rubbed the young man's hole, and it fluttered. Gru's spunk slowly leaked out of Eric well-fucked ass. Gru broke the kiss, gasping for breath. He stared at his pet's face. The young man's eyes were glazed over, and his lips were red and swollen.
"Are you ready to go home, pet?"
"Home," Eric murmured, and a small smile twisted his lips. "Yeah, I'm ready."
Gru helped Eric to his feet before standing up. He adjusted his loincloth, covering his cock. Gru wrapped the leash around his wrist and held out his hand to his pet. Eric placed his hand on Gru's and intertwined their fingers. The human's hand was small and soft and fit perfectly within Gru's.
The vender grinned and gave a little wave. "I'll charge your account, Commander Gru."
Gru tilted his head in gratitude as he led Eric out of the dining stall. Hand in hand, they walked back home.
Chapter Thirteen
Eric lifted his arms up over his head and stretched out his back. He smiled thinking about Gru and Khaun. The males had been relentless. They kept Eric up all night long, taking turns fucking him. Eric groaned as he rolled to his side and opened his eyes.
