His hands were warm. He’d had a bit of a haircut, but he looked more or less the same. Brawny, tall, and his face plastered with that goofy smile of his.
“How…”
Poppy swung her legs over the side of the bed, trying to get up. Castor grabbed her by the waist and dragged her back into bed.
“Castor!”
“No,” he insisted, “The doctor said that you weren’t to leave.”
“What happened?”
“The headmaster and Jocasta came. You’d only been dead two minutes. On Devor, that’s enough time that we were able to resuscitate you.”
“Dead?”
“Not for long. Before you died… you healed them. It took everything out of you. You’ve been here for two weeks in a coma.”
“TWO WEEKS?! WHAT ABOUT FINALS?!”
“You are such a nerd, jazad,” Jason grumbled.
“You’ve passed them,” Hecate answered, peering over Ajax’s shoulder, “Considering what you did… the headmaster made an executive decision.”
“I don’t know why we keep getting our asses saved by humans, frankly,” Jason muttered.
“What about Daphne?”
“She’s been… expelled. Sent back to my parents,” Jason said.
“I’m sorry…”
“Don’t be,” Jason asserted, “You could have killed her, but you didn’t.”
"And Jocasta?"
They exchanged glances again.
"Don't worry about her," Hecate reassured her. Poppy decided not to press and changed the subject to summer.
“Summer break’s soon.”
“Yes,” Castor said, “We’re to leave for the ship in three days.”
“I won’t be leaving,” Hecate said, a smirk settling across her face, “My parents are taking me on a hunting trip to Sekhmet-beta.”
“Lucky duck,” Ajax grumbled, “I’d love a hunt.”
Poppy sat up, a grin spreading across her face as she settled into the realization that she’d survived. All of it.
“I should talk to my Uncle Monty.”
“He was here yesterday but he had to leave.”
“Why?”
The four of them exchanged glances as if there was something they weren’t telling her.
«I know you’re hiding something,» Poppy complained.
“He had to go back to Earth because of your mom. She’s been pardoned.”
Poppy pursed her lips and leaned back. She hadn’t expected this. It had been so many years since she’d seen her mother that she hardly knew what her mother looked like. Castor was the only one who might understand. He rested his hand on Poppy’s thigh.
“All you need to worry about is getting better.”
“Agreed,” Hecate added, “I’ll get the doctor and give you four some time alone.”
Poppy’s cheeks reddened. Hecate knew about them then. She ventured out of the room and the three boys rushed to surround Poppy.
Castor kissed her forehead.
“You scared the bloody hell out of me.”
“Thanks, jazad,” Jason said, gazing intently over his aquiline nose and formidable ridges, “You saved us and our planet. You might be alien but…you’re my alien.”
“And we’re sorry,” Ajax added, “What Daphne did to us…”
“She violated us,” Jason huffed, puffing out his chest.
“I know,” Poppy whispered, “It wasn’t your fault.”
«Do you still feel for us, jazad?»
«Of course I do.»
Poppy pulled Castor close and kissed him on the lips. He pushed her hair out of her face and grabbed her cheeks, holding on as if letting go would send Penelope back to her death. Once he was finished, Ajax crept along the other side of her bed and drew her face to his. He normally kissed rough and urgently, but today Ajax was slow and gentle.
“I love you,” he murmured.
“We all do,” Jason, Castor, and Ajax said at once.
“I love you too,” Poppy said, “Nothing’s changed for me.”
Jason weaseled in front of Castor and kissed her forehead.
“Good,” he whispered, “Nothing has changed for me either. And thanks to you, I passed math.”
Jason kissed her for a long time and when he pulled away, his cheeks were wet.
«I take responsibility for what my sister did to you, jazad. I beg your forgiveness.»
Poppy had never seen any of them so emotional. Two weeks in a coma and the fear of losing her consumed them.
«There’s nothing to forgive.»
The doctor entered the room and cleared his throat.
“Clear off, boys. I need time alone with the patient.”

The Other Side
Achilles followed the doctor and he stood solemnly at the foot of Poppy’s bed, his blue skin wrinkled with hundreds of years of wisdom and his floor-length silver hair clasped behind his head with a silver leather cord.
They discussed Poppy’s coursework, and of course the incident in the temple. The headmaster apologized on behalf of the planet, reciting a speech that he’d prepared in advance.
Poppy didn’t mind the preparedness.
“In your sickness, Penelope of Earth, we discovered that your genetic code is not 100% human and that variation likely accounts for why your telepathic abilities tested off the charts.”
Poppy nodded.
“You knew this?”
“I found out recently.”
“Which one of your parents is from a different planet?”
“Um… my father, I guess.”
“He’s dead,” the headmaster replied.
“Yes.”
“We would like to run further tests of your abilities… next semester. The doctor informs me that you have plans for the summer and require time to rest.”
“Yes, sir. I have plans.”
“Very well. Thank you, Penelope. You will be restored to regular housing next year. The doctor will discuss your arrangements for leaving campus with your family.”
“Thank you, sir.”
“Three eager young men are waiting outside who wish to see you. I’d better not hold them up.”
Poppy nodded and flopped back onto the bed. She hated bedrest. She still had so many questions about what happened for Castor, and Ajax, and Jason. How had they all made it alive? How would they make it an entire six months without seeing each other?
With Achilles gone and the doctor with another student who’d contracted a snow-parasite, Castor, Ajax, and Jason slipped into Poppy’s room. Castor locked the door behind him.
“We’ve been waiting ages to get you alone,” he said.
“Don’t tell me you three plan to break me out,” Poppy groaned.
She’d welcome an escape but not quite the subsequent trouble it might get her in.
“Not at all, jazad,” Jason murmured.
“We want you,” Ajax said simply.
“Are you too ill?”
“No, but I’m not stupid! What if we get caught!”
«You can tell where the nurse is, can’t you? And the doctor? You know we won’t get caught.»
Castor could always use logic to get his way out of her if begging didn’t work. Castor stripped Poppy’s blanket off, exposing her legs. She squealed and Castor climbed on top of her.
“We’re taking turns then?” Ajax whispered.
“Guard the door,” Castor responded, “I’ll be quick.”
“I’m not going anywhere. I want to watch her squirm,” Jason teased.
Ajax agreed to guard the door. Jason watched as Castor flipped Poppy onto her stomach and climbed between her legs. She shuddered as she felt his bare chest pressing against her back as he raised his clothes and then wriggled his pants off and pressed his two large alien cocks against her entrance.
“You’re so wet…”
“Have you been fantasizing about this, jazad?” Jason teased her.
«I think she has,» Ajax postulated.
Popp
y moaned as Castor’s cock stretched her entrance and his second probed at her tight butthole. With both lubricated holes ready to be filled by his blue cocks, she bit down on the sickbay pillow to stop herself from screaming. Castor slid into her gently but it still hurt to have large cocks inside her after so long. The pain quickly vanished, replaced by arousal as Castor moved his hips between her legs.
Poppy moaned again and Jason stroked her hair, holding it out of her face as Castor grabbed his hips and pleasured himself between her legs. Poppy whimpered and bucked her hips but Castor pressed her into the bed and grunted as he took his pleasure from her milky thighs. Poppy climaxed after a few strokes, cumming hard all over Castor’s gigantic alien cocks. He stiffened inside her and she sensed his orgasm brimming over the edge.
«Cum, Cas… Cum inside me…»
Castor groaned as he released. He shared his orgasm with all of them telepathically. Poppy’s legs twitched and shuddered as her holes clamped down hard around Castor’s cocks. Jason’s cocks stood at attention in his pants. Poppy couldn’t see Ajax from her position but she could feel his heart racing from across the room and sensed his animal desire.
Castor rolled off of her. Gasping he offered to take up Ajax’s post at the door. Ajax nodded and they traded places. Castor leaned his back against the door gasping for breath. Jason wasted no time stripped down to nothing and kissing the length of Poppy’s back before readying both his enormous alien cocks to enter her. Jason’s lovemaking was the least predictable of the three. He could be quick and fast or slow and erotic depending on his mood.
Today he chose to make love to Poppy properly. He spread her cheeks and pressed slowly inside her, inch by inch, watching as his blue cocks disappeared inside her slick pink pussy lips and her teensy puckered asshole. Poppy moaned as Jason buried his length inside her. He went deep and slow, moving his hips so slowly that each time he reinserted his cock, Poppy cried out and climaxed. After only ten thrusts, she’d had ten climaxes and she shuddered as her hair stuck to the back of her neck and sweat built upon her brow.
As Jason resumed thrusting, Ajax kissed her, running his hands over her cheek and toying with her telepathically, pushing her to a more intense orgasm each time. She lost track of time and climaxes, but she must have had nearly a hundred before Jason groaned and lost himself inside her.
Before she could catch her breath or listen to Jason cross the room to take Castor’s position at the door, Ajax had climbed on top of her and spread her thighs forcefully. He was the same old Ajax, animalistic and eager for her. Poppy moaned as he thrust both his fat cocks into her holes at the same time, sliding in easily because of how sopping wet she was and pushing the spilled cum of her other lovers deeper inside her when he first thrust.
He groaned and grunted and rutted behind her until Poppy reached a first glorious climax and erupted all over Ajax’s cock. He grabbed her hair and pulled her head back, pumping into her harder and groaning with each thrust as he hit the depths of her cunt and asshole with his furious thrusting.
“Harder…” Poppy whimpered.
Ajax delivered those harder strokes, pushing Poppy over the edge again. He climaxed inside her and pulled out of her, forcing all the seed spilled from the three to gush out of her pussy. They rolled her over onto her back and each kissed her. The door handle jiggled.
“Who is that?” Poppy whispered.
She couldn’t sense a Devoran on the other side of the door — or anyone. But sure enough, the door handle jiggled again.
