COLOSSUS_Departure [Book 2]

  “You can absolutely trust me to keep your secret. I swear on my mother’s heart you can trust that I will.”

  “Good. My secret is the moment I laid eyes on you I received a feeling inside me that told me you are my, Chakin, which translated means, father of my first child.”

  Katin held his hand until they reached the door to her bedchamber then pushed the door open to reveal the largest bed Jak had ever seen. The bed was big enough for ten people to sleep on or whatever else ten people might do on a bed.

  Don’t know about the Chakin thing but hey, I’ll do whatever I have to for the Elimination Hive mission. Besides, if I refuse to lie with her I might lose both my heads.

  Chapter 39

  Commodore Jeeves, Burseq Maalik, and Captain Slain had been taken to their guest’s quarters and were given menu tablets so they could order something to eat. The menu had some strange exotic dishes such as Jaro bird pie, finger wiches, oyster pearl soup, etc. Of course, Jeeves doesn’t require food or drink so he didn’t order anything.

  Maalik tried the Jaro bird pie and Slain ordered the finger wiches. Both men thought their orders were satisfying, which came as a surprise. An hour had passed since he had eaten and Maalik was beginning to be concerned. He was thinking I am wondering why they split us up and why did the empress ask Hammer to stay behind?

  Slain was becoming concerned as well and started to check the door to his quarters to see if it was locked. But before he made it across the room to the door, it opened and standing there was two gorgeous females. They weren’t wearing their battle gear, instead were barely dressed at all. The two Aborians were wearing bottoms similar to string bikini’s and a shawl draped over their shoulders that crisscrossed over their naked breasts.

  They had brought him an article of clothing he was to put on and it looked as if it would just barely cover his manhood. Actually, he thought it was an athletic jock, only the color of gold, and when he asked what was he supposed to do with the jock, the females smiled but didn’t answer, other than one of them said, “Tage Doni asked that you please put on the donger cover and only the donger.”

  “What is a donger?” Slain asked.

  The two females looked at each other and laughed and the one that handed the donger to Slain said, “A donger is your manhood, your Pnor, your rod of pleasure. We shall return to retrieve you and escort you to Parm’s Hall.”

  “Ladies I don’t mean to disappoint the lovely Tage Doni, but there is no way in hell I’m going to walk out of this room to wherever this Parm’s Hall is wearing only this thing. It doesn’t have enough material to cover my ass.”

  “Yes, we know, and I’ll bet a thousand shankels that’s one delicious perse you have there. Now, please don’t disappoint, Captain Slain. Your visit to Parm’s Hall is only for entertainment purposes. Nothing there will hurt you in any way and you going to Parm’s Hall is at the request of our beloved Empress Katin.

  “But know this, Human. You should not refuse Tage Doni’s donger cover, as you will follow us to Parm’s Hall, with or without the cover.” The Aborian females giggled as they turned and walked out of Slain’s quarters.

  Talking to no one but himself, Kenner, said, “What the hell is a perse? Is it the same as ass? Doesn’t matter anyway I’m not wearing this frikin thing.” He wadded it up and threw it on the bed. It is difficult to say what Tage Doni did to get Kenner to wear the donger cover but he was walking down the guest room hall wearing nothing but the cover and not looking too happy about it.

  A few steps before coming up on Commodore Jeeves’s quarters, Jeeves walked out of the room and saw three females, one he recognized as, Tage Doni, and one almost naked, Captain Kenner Slain.

  As they passed, Kenner looked at Jeeves with an embarrassed expression on his face and he mouthed the words, ‘help me.’ The response he received from Jeeves was a silly smirk and a raising of his right eyebrow. Kenner and his escort walked out of the guest quarters area and into a spacious lobby of sorts.

  The lobby was full of Aborian warriors fully dressed in their battle gear. If parading in front of a bunch of Amazon looking females was embarrassing enough he received a multitude of catcalls and whistles.

  Speaking in his southern Alabama drawl he said, “I don’t know what ya’ll are looking at.” Then he thought what in hell has Hammer gotten us into. I’m gonna kill the bastard when I see him, even though I’m sure he hasn’t a clue as to what they're doing to me.

  They exited the lobby and started down another long hall and at the end was two large doors. A few more steps and he could hear music like he’d never heard before and what sounded like many women shouting and making the same catcalls he received from the Aborians in the lobby.

  Oh hell, this can’t be good he thought.

  Just before one of his escorts opened the double doors, Kenner addressed Tage Doni, and said, “Why are you doing this to me? We didn’t travel all this way for something like this.”

  “Stop your whining, Human. Males all over the galaxy would be so lucky to be invited to Parm’s Hall. You are a very physically fit male. You aren’t scared of a few soft and delicate women are you?”

  “Don’t be offended, Tage, but I’ve not seen a delicate female since I arrived here. Beautiful, yes. Delicate, no.”

  Tage nodded her head at the female and she opened the doors. The first thing Kenner saw was a man dressed similarly to him. The man was standing on a raised rotating stage and sitting around the stage at floor level was around thirty Aborians looking sexy as hell in clothing resembling teddy's worn by women on Earth.

  The women had a variety of hair color consisting of auburn, carrot red, many were blondes, jet black, and brown. Those with long hair had their’s braided and a few had a short cropped haircut like Empress Katin.

  It took a couple of seconds for Captain Slain to notice he couldn’t be seen by the women, as he and his escorts were hidden behind a see-through screen. Slain noticed the man on the rotating stage was really putting on a show.

  He had long dreadlocks down to the middle of his back and was a well-muscled man standing over six foot tall. He was pumping his biceps then put his hands on his waist and stuck his chest out while making his pecs jump.

  Tagi Doni took hold of Slain’s arm and escorted him around to the right side of the screen. When they were around the screen, there were two more men waiting to be presented to the cat calling females. Each man had a tender and they were spraying the men with something that made their bodies glisten, which enhanced the look of their muscles.

  The two female tenders took one look at Slain and stopped prepping the other men and hurried over to Kenner and started touching his ripped abs and running their fingers down his arms all the while making seductive sounds.

  Tage Doni said, “Cease. This one is special and I will be the one to ready him for the bidding. Now, continue with the lesser two.”

  The other men didn’t like Doni calling them lesser two but knew better than to vocalize their displeasure. There was a short ramp that leads to the parade stage and a door blocking the entrance to the stage. The door opened and the first man stepped out onto the stage.

  After a few minutes, Kenner heard the auctioneer say, “Sold to Warrior Huru for 800 shankels.” Then he immediately heard the winner scream with joy.

  Kenner turned to Tagi Doni and said, “I’m not for sale. I’m here on an emergency diplomatic mission. I don’t have time for such foolishness.”

  “You will do whatever I tell you to do, Human. We did not come to your world, at such an important time as this.”

  “What’s so important about this time?”

  “On Abor, this is the time when those that have made it through Rhamdon have been awarded their Warrior Raptors. Aborian training does not go well for many that try to obtain status in our Imperial Navy. Once the new warriors complete their training it is our custom to allow them to bid on a male that will father their children.”

  “So, you are planning on al
lowing a female to buy me so I can father her children. Am I hearing you correctly.”

  “Calm yourself, Captian Slain. You will not be awarded a warrior. My beloved empress is having a little fun with her newly appointed warriors. Though her fun is at your expense. If this was a realistic bid I would be bidding on you myself,” Doni said, then gave Kenner a hard squeeze to his right buttcheek.”

  The last man before Kenner’s turn was just awarded to the highest bidder, then it was his turn. “Now don’t even think about disappointing my warriors. Go out there and strut yourself. You should be proud to be such an adorable and tasty looking male.”

  And with those words of encouragement, she opened the door and prodded Kenner out to the stage. The room exploded with ooh’s and ah’s. Tage Doni could smell their desire and knew the Human would sell high.

  “Settle yourselves,” the auctioneer said. It took a few long seconds before the women calmed themselves, then the bidding began.

  “This delicious male is a species known as, Human. Never before have we found such a race to enjoy in our beds. Look at his powerful legs. His ripped abs and you all have to agree this male’s ass is as hard as stone.”

  Kenner never knew he could feel so embarrassed as he was while being displayed to a group of women as a piece of meat. But embarrassed or not he knew he shouldn’t disappoint Tage Doni. He did his best to go along with the charade and get it over with, so he flexed his biceps, calves, and thighs then posed in a fashion that enhanced his stomach muscles and his chest. It didn’t hurt that Slain was well endowed and the donger cover barely covered him.

  The bidding became serious and many of the bidders weren’t smiling and laughing as they were previously. The reason being they wanted to win this Human and were concentrating heavily on the bidding process.

  “We now have 1500 shankels. Who will bid more for this dreamer?”

  The bidding went to 2000, then 3000, then it came down to two females. The bidding finally ended at 4300 shankels which equaled two years wages for an Aborian warrior. Extremely excited that she had won the Human she jumped onto the stage, wrapped her arms around his waist and began smelling him while purring like a feline.

  The auctioneer pushed the winner back and away from Kenner and told her to go to the back of the stage as Tage Doni wanted to talk to her prior to the taking of her prize. She went through the door, down the ramp, then walked over to her Tage.

  Meanwhile, the stage room emptied, as the bidding was over for the day, and was to continue until all thirty female warriors had their man. Kenner was escorted back to his quarters and was told to get dressed. He never did find out where the female that placed the winning bid went or what happened to her. He was quite sure the winning bidder didn’t take it lightly that the bidding was all in fun.

  Chapter 40

  Commodore Jeeves and Burseq Maalik ran into one another as they were looking around the main compound. Jeeves started talking about how well endowed the Aborian warriors were but Maalik was in no mood to talk about a woman’s body.

  “You should not be concerning yourself with that, Commodore. We need to be focusing on the mission and I’ve had about all the waiting I’m going to do.”

  “What can we do but wait, Burseq?”

  “Follow me. We are going to the last place we saw Captain Slain and the Colonel. I want to know when we are going to discuss the reason we came here.”

  The two men found the empress’s quarters and as usual, there were two impressive looking guards standing by the door. Jeeves stopped a few feet from the door but Maalik didn’t, and when he came within two feet of the guards, they moved their spears in such a way as to bar him from going in.

  Maalik took a step back and said, “I’m Daakie Burseq Maalik and I demand to see the empress.”

  One of the guards said, “No one can see our beloved Empress until we are informed they can do so. Now go back to where you came from and I will report your request as soon as I’m able.”

  “What about Colonel Hammer. Can you tell us where we can find him?” Jeeves asked.

  “Colonel Hammer is with our beloved Empress and neither are to be disturbed until further notice.”

  Maalik turned and started down the stairs and Jeeves didn’t know what he was saying because for some reason his translator couldn’t define the words. But Jeeves postulated they had to have been Daakie curse words.

  ****

  Empress Katin and Colonel Hammer were locked in an embrace with his arm around her side and her head on his chest with her left leg laying on his left leg and his right leg over her leg. Both were still breathing heavily and soaked in sweat, as they had just finished their fourth time making love.

  Neither said a word for nearly a minute, then Jak said, “Is it your intention to kill me, Your Grace?”

  “Why no. Why would you say such a thing, Jak?”

  “I was partially kidding, but only partially. I need to take a break and if you would so allow, we need to talk.”

  She raised her head and removed her leg and sat up against the eight-foot-tall magnificent headboard and Jak pushed himself up against the headboard too.

  “I will answer anything you want, my handsome, Chakin.”

  “Ok, let’s begin with that. To be your Chakin means I will be the baby’s father. Is that the way it works?”

  “Yes.”

  “I’m extremely honored that out of millions upon millions of males in this galaxy you chose me. But you do know I cannot stay here to help you raise a child? You also know the reason I’m here, and that reason is for the future of all Aborians, Humans, Daakie and many more races that live in the galaxy.”

  “Yes, I am aware of your mission and the importance of forming an alliance in order to rid as many Hive as possible. Rest easy, my love. As you and I have spent the last several hours joined, preparations have been made, and I have given my command for High Mage Cina and ten of our Predators to join you in the hunt and elimination of those vile creatures.”

  “I wish you would have told me that earlier. If you had, I would have given you my complete attention while making love to you.”

  “Are you saying you I didn’t get all of you?”

  “Most of me, Kish. What if the baby is a boy? I haven’t seen many males since I’ve been here. Of course, I haven’t seen much of anything. I was escorted from my ship straight to your quarters. For which, I couldn’t have been more fortunate than to have spent these few hours with the most intoxicatingly beautiful female in the entire Milky Way Galaxy.”

  Jak was looking into Kish’s eyes as he said what he just said, and he could tell she was very pleased, as her eyes actually sparkled.

  “You are quite the charmer, Jak Hammer. To answer your question, every female’s priority, when born to Abor, is to give their empress a daughter. Sons are to work for the good of Abor. They are treated well, but their destinies are to serve females.”

  Hammer thought damn, got to make sure the Aborian’s way of thinking cannot get back to the Human race. I know of several I wouldn’t want to have that power.

  Katin could sense Jak thinking, and said, “But, I am Empress Katin, and my son will not serve a female for he will be Highborn, and when of age will be bequeathed command status. The only male in our history to reach that pinnacle, and it will be recorded in the future logs of Abor.

  “And I don’t give much pause about you not seeing our child, male or female. For you will have thoughts of me and will be lured back into my arms many times. But for this time, at this time, you have a mission to perform. So, I will require one-hundred-percent of you, Jak, during our final embrace before you depart.”

  Jak thought what a woman. What an alien.

  ****

  Standing at the back of the Striker’s ramp and waiting to escort the Aborian Navy was Colonel Hammer. He had said his goodbyes to Empress Katin and was waiting for High Mage Cina to inform him her fleet was ready.

  The plan was to rendezvous with the Colos
sus and the Daakie Zurguts. But it would take a week for any communication to reach Colossus, so it was decided to head in the direction of the two dark planets and a large number of Hive nests Captain Slain recorded on the trip to Abor.

  Colonel Hammer decided to have Commodore Jeeves continuously monitor communications on board the Striker. He ordered him to send out contact coordinates every time the Armada came out of a jump sequence.

  Hammer saw High Mage Cina come around the end of her Predator. She stopped and stood in what Hammer thought was a salute or a confirmation her fleet was ready. Less than ten minutes later, the Armada left Planet Abor.

  The Armada had made two short jumps and when they completed their third, Commodore Jeeves sent out two communication bursts. They waited in the darkness of space for a reply but none came.

  Colonel Hammer knew they weren’t too far from the Imus System, which was the location of the two dark planets and last known location of a massive group of Hive nests. His original plan was to wait at a location several thousand miles past the dark planets, in the hope the communication bursts had reached Colossus, so they could meet at that location.

  With still no reply, Hammer knew they had to complete a few more jumps for Colossus to pick up the bursts, so he called High Mage Cina and gave her the coordinates to the Centa System. From there they would jump to the Kaptin System, where Colossus and the remaining Zurguts and Burseq Amiik were waiting.

  The travel time to the area of darkness before jumping again had taken almost a week. Two days later the Armada had completed their jump to the Centa System and waited twenty minutes for communications from Colossus to come back. Colonel Hammer was only a few more minutes away from taking the Armada to the Piner System. He was actually beginning to worry about Colossus as he figured they should have received a communication this close to the Kaptin System.

  “Colonel, I have Admiral Allen on communications. Putting him through to you now,” Commodore Jeeves announced.
