Naith shivered in anticipation when he noticed Chris gather the natural lubrication that covered Ben’s cock and then smeared it onto his own. On Jernodria, a dal-shera would probably never consider what Chris was about to do, but here and now it felt absolutely perfect. Naith stilled, holding Ben close as Chris moved into position on the mattress behind him. The first touch of his cock was incredible, the thick, mushroom-shaped head caressing over his entrance deliciously before Chris surged forward and filled him completely.
He nearly came just from the unusual feel of having Chris’s balls resting against his skin. He’d been shocked to learn that humans had testicles instead of impregnation barbs, but holy fucking hell, he wasn’t complaining. The fact that they seemed as sensitive—or maybe even more so—as his own barb had been a serious turn-on.
The moment Chris started moving, fucking him in strong steady strokes, coherent thought fled and all he could do was feel. Ben started to push back against him, demanding more, fucking himself on Naith’s cock even as Chris fucked Naith’s ass harder and harder. Instinct took over and Naith started to surge into Ben’s ass, pinning him hard to the mattress, fucking him in the same rhythm, giving and receiving with every thrust.
Ben cried out, writhing under their combined weight as his orgasm overwhelmed him. His anal muscles clenched hard around Naith’s cock, stealing his control, throwing him into climax as well, his loud shout of release sending Chris into a frenzy. His hips pumped violently, his cock plowing Naith’s ass over and over as he cried out his pleasure. He felt every moment of Chris’s orgasm, the shivering, jolting movements as he pumped his seed deep into Naith’s ass, and then every shuddered breath as Chris finally collapsed onto Naith’s back and whispered how much he loved them both.

Daku lifted Felicity’s shirt over her head and then spent an inordinate amount of time admiring her beautiful breasts. Just like Chris’s testicles, the differences between Jernodrian and human bodies fascinated Daku. The fact that humans had two distinct shapes just made the exploration more amazing. He lowered his head to one soft rounded breast and laved his tongue over the beaded nipple. Felicity gasped and shook, her knees weakening as he did it again and again. He held her up, enjoying the soft mewling sounds that escaped her.
“Do you like that?” he asked with no small amount of arrogant pride. It was obvious that she enjoyed his attentions, but he didn’t want to assume too much.
“Y–Yes,” she managed to stammer.
“Perfect,” he said as he lowered his head to the other breast and did the same to that one. He could smell Felicity’s arousal, the tangy aroma tempting him to taste. He lifted her off the ground, her weight barely noticeable to him as he arranged her legs over his shoulders and pulled her pussy closer to his mouth. His tongue darted out, licking over the honey that flowed onto her thighs. Felicity went limp in his embrace, only his hands holding her up as he devoured her sweet nectar.
She was shaking by the time he moved her away, her tiny clit so hard under his tongue that she’d gasped with every soft touch and more and more honey had spilled onto her thighs.
“Dak,” she pleaded as she squirmed in his embrace.
“If I keep doing this, will it bring you to orgasm?”
She nodded wildly, reaching for him even as he moved her away.
A sob escaped her as he lifted her off him and placed her in the middle of the bed. “I also know,” he said as he stood to remove his own clothes, “that making you wait will increase your pleasure.”
She closed her eyes and shook her head, panting hard and fast, but she did seem to gather a little bit of control as she laughed softly. “You’ve been talking to Chris.”
“Of course,” he said, watching her closely as he lowered his jeans to the ground and Felicity got to see his cock for the first time. “You and Chris are shaped so very differently. I wanted to make sure that I knew how to pleasure you if you ever let me into your bed. He has been even more helpful since he began mating with you.”
“Oh,” she said as her eyes widened. “You discussed sex with me even before we met?”
“Does that offend you?” Daku asked, suddenly unsure he’d said the right thing. He’d grown to know this human woman over the past few weeks, and the biggest difference he’d noticed between Chris and Felicity was their attitudes to sex. Chris was comfortable with both human and Jernodrian sexual appetites, but Felicity seemed far more conservative in her approach. It was why, even though they’d overheard Felicity and Chris together many, many times, none of them had ever seen the human woman naked.
Well, until now.
“I’m not offended,” Felicity said as she sat up on the bed, “I’ve asked a couple of questions myself these past few weeks.” She rolled onto her knees and shuffled closer to him. “But with Chris’s penchant for practical jokes I wasn’t certain how much might be true.”
Daku grinned as he slid onto the bed. “It’s probably a good idea if we just find out the answers for ourselves.”
“Very true,” Felicity said as she moved quickly and lowered her mouth over his cock.
“F–F–Flick…that’s not necessary.”
Felicity stopped what she was doing and gave him a curious look. She kept her hand wrapped around his hard cock, pumping him gently as she looked into his eyes. “Does it hurt you?”
“Heck, no,” he said, worried now that he’d offended her. “I just…I’m close to orgasm. I don’t want to frighten you if my impregnation barb pricks you.”
“Will it hurt me?”
“No.”
“Will it change my DNA?”
“No,” Daku said as he tried to understand why the woman wasn’t backing away in fear. He’d met more than a few coden-volas in his younger years who’d refused to even consider doing such a thing. Chris, Naith, and Ben all seemed to love it, but that didn’t mean Felicity should feel obligated.
“I just wanted to taste you,” Felicity said, somehow managing to look both adorably shy and proudly defiant at the same time. “I’m sorry if I offended you.”
“Offended?” Daku said as he realized the way she’d interpreted his reaction. He reached for her and dragged her onto his lap, holding her carefully as he stroked her hair and tried to figure a way past the awkwardness of their first time together. “I’m not offended. Hell, I’m honored that you would want to share something so intimate with me.”
“So why did you stop me?” she said as she wriggled off his lap and knelt beside him again. With each word she whispered she dropped her head lower, her warm breath bathing the tip of his cock as she waited for him to answer.
“I have no idea,” he answered breathlessly.
“Perfect.”
Her moist heat surrounded him almost instantly, the barb at the end of his cock surging from its hidden space, the sharp tip scraping over the back of Felicity’s throat as she moaned in arousal. She closed her lips around him, sucking hard against the flesh filling her mouth, wriggling impatiently as he reached for her and caressed her all over. He barely had control of his instinct to thrust into her mouth, push deep, and inject her with his genetic material when she finally pulled away.
He must have made a sound of distress because she climbed onto his lap and whispered, “Make love to me, please.”
Daku nodded, damn near grinding his teeth as he forced his cock to retract the impregnation barb. He wanted the human woman with a desperation he hadn’t anticipated, yet he wasn’t going to risk hurting her. But as soon as he knew it was safe, he lifted her onto his lap, lined his cock up with the slippery opening Chris had called a pussy, and then slowly slid inside.
Felicity moaned as he held her tight, her instinct to push against him rather than to pull away very pleasing to feel. He entered her carefully, wanting to make certain that she enjoyed their first time together.
She practically growled as she tried to bounce on his cock, but the position was awkward, their differing sizes making it hard for F
elicity to gain any purchase. She sighed, leaning into him as he moved his hands under her ass to support her weight. Carefully, slowly, he lifted her up and down on his cock, watching her closely, making sure she still enjoyed his attentions.
“Faster,” she ordered breathlessly.
“Show me your clit,” he countered as he slowed the pace even more.
She nodded, her hands immediately moving to her crotch as she leaned back so that he could see. She speared her fingers through the springy curls of hair, separating them so that he could see the tiny, swollen bud that Chris has played with earlier.
“Show me how you like to be touched. Come on my cock, sweetheart.”
He didn’t even have time to worry that he’d overstepped any boundaries as her finger immediately moved to circle her clit, her pussy tightening around him in response.
She grinned as he started to move faster, no longer able to control his need as she started to shake with her pleasure. The barb escaped his control, the sharp tip scraping over a place inside her that seemed to tip her over the edge. She screamed as orgasm claimed her, every inch of her quivering in his embrace as her pussy coated his cock in her cream.
Unable to hold back, he started thrusting harder and deeper, groaning as his own climax began. Together they rode the waves of completion, both of them jolting almost painfully as they collapsed against each other and gasped for air.
“Holy fuck,” Felicity finally said between panted breaths. Daku could only nod in agreement and pull the woman closer.
Chapter Seven
Now that they were mere hours from Earth, Zed’s patience was at an end. They’d reached the planet a whole thirteen days earlier than a normal transport would have taken, but that did nothing to temper his need to get onto the surface and collect Reyne’s podmates.
They wouldn’t be able to go home immediately, but at least he’d know they were safe on a heavily fortified Jernodrian vessel. A part of him admired Daku, Naith, and Ben for staying on to protect the two humans. Fortunately, this ship was literally full of dria-coldars and yala-coldars—most of them with military training and combat experience. They would have no problem infiltrating the human organization responsible for Reyne’s murder, and then they’d erase memories and reinstall the humans back into their daily lives. No matter what it took, Zed vowed he would find a way to make sure the humans Reyne had wanted to join his family were safely back in their lives on Earth and the husbands he’d left behind were on their way home to a safer planet.
So deep in thought, he didn’t see the ship’s second-in-command, Seth, until he almost walked into him. “Ready for some action?” the Jernodrian asked with a smile that was a little too enthusiastic for the mission they had in front of them. Unlike the captain, Bik’s second in command appeared to relish the idea of a confrontation. Hell, the captain had once joked that Seth would gleefully invade the planet and install himself as overlord given half a chance. It hadn’t made Zed feel any better even knowing that it had been meant as a joke.
“I just want Reyne’s family to be safe.”
“Of course you do,” the man said in a tone that didn’t quite match his conciliatory words. “Has Bik organized an escort for you yet?”
“No, I’d rath—”
But Seth cut off his words. “After what the humans did to your brother, the Jernodrian High Council doesn’t want us taking any chances. I’ll get a security detail organized for you.” He turned away as if going to do just that, but quickly spun back to Zed before he could leave. “Sorry, one more thing.” Seth smiled in a way that suggested he was embarrassed by his oversight. “You better send me the coordinates of the place Reyne’s family is staying. It’s kind of hard to get you there if we don’t know where we’re going.”
“Sure,” Zed said with a slow nod, his gut instinct screaming at him not to trust anyone. Daku had been worried enough to use a very strong encryption code known only to Zed’s closest family members. “I’ll…ah…send it to you as soon as I get back to my cabin.”
“Perfect,” Seth said with a nod. He turned then and headed away, leaving Zed to worry just who he could and couldn’t trust. Not everyone on Jernodria was happy with the addition of humans to their gene pool.
Humans must have gotten their information about dria-coldars from somewhere. Zed had spoken often enough to the captain to know Bik suspected a group of rebels had provided information—maybe more—to the humans who’d killed Reyne, so Zed was even more on edge now than he’d been when he’d first realized how vulnerable Reyne’s podmates were on Earth.
Making a decision he hoped he didn’t live to regret, he changed direction and headed directly to the captain’s quarters.

“Can you tell me more about your planet?” Chris asked as he, Naith, and Ben lay in a tangled heap on the bed.
“Sure,” Ben said agreeably. “Anything in particular you want to know? How babies are made, perhaps?”
Chris could hear the man’s amusement in the question, and grinned right along with his lovers. After all the teasing he’d done, it was only natural they’d get some mileage out of teasing him back.
“Putting aside the fact that you intended to make me your baby-momma, why does it take so many podmates to make offspring?”
Naith shrugged. “Our planet’s history suggests it wasn’t always that way, but it seems to be what pushed us into the modern era. Maybe the more complicated form of reproduction produced smarter babies.”
Chris snuggled closer as Naith absently caressed a hand down his arm, the unconscious touch strengthening the feeling that he’d truly found where he belonged.
“Before that Jernodrians were quite primitive—well at least that’s what archeologists suggest. Nobody seems to know for sure,” Ben said as he sat up. “There are plenty of theories as to why we now have a problem, but it’s only in the past few decades that the birth rates for dal-sheras have fallen dramatically.”
“I don’t know much about genetics,” Chris said, “but it’s almost like Jernodrians are an amalgamation of several different species.”
“In what way?” Ben asked curiously, thankfully taking no offense to Chris’s poorly thought-out words.
“The dria-coldar has four hearts, the yala-coldar has two, and the coden-volas and dal-sheras have only one. The size and the skills of each of you, while obviously compatible, are so very different.” He shrugged, uncertain that what he’d said made much sense.
“There are theories,” Ben said seriously, “that coden-volas are an offshoot species of the Cornodrans—they were a sentient species on a neighboring planet.”
“Were?” Chris asked.
“A couple of Earth”—Ben hesitated apparently searching for the human word—“decades ago the planet of Cornodra suffered a catastrophic event. We’re not certain what happened because they were in the middle of a civil war at the time, but if there was any evidence to back up such a theory, it’s long gone.”
“An entire planet?” Chris asked as shock reverberated through him. “Millions of life-forms wiped out?”
Naith’s grip on him tightened momentarily. “I wasn’t very old at the time—a mere podling in fact—but I do remember the shock that reverberated through the Jernodrian communities. If nothing else, it served as a reminder that we needed to put our own petty differences aside and do what was best for our planet.”
Chris nodded, blinking quickly as he tried to hold back the emotions that such horrendous loss evoked. He’d often wondered what it would take for humans to find a way to get along. Witnessing the destruction of an entire planet seemed a particularly harsh lesson, however.
Ben cleared his throat, obviously feeling the same sort of choking emotions Chris was dealing with. “The…ah….theories as to our origin are plentiful,” he said, obviously trying to get back to the subject they’d been discussing, “but no one has found enough evidence to prove any of them. It is very possible that we were originally two or more differ
ent species.”
“And it has been used to offer explanations on why fewer dal-sheras are being born. Genetically speaking, it’s possible the DNA required to produce a dal-shera is being bred out of the species.”
“Wow,” Daku said as he came into the room with a sleepy-looking Felicity cuddled next to him, “that is a very heavy conversation for three men making so much noise only a few minutes ago.”
Chris grinned at the big yala-coldar. “You weren’t exactly quiet in there either.”
“We know,” Daku said, smiling as he lifted Felicity onto the bed. “That’s why we thought we’d join you for an afternoon nap. All that…shouting…can make a person very sleepy.”
Felicity giggled at Daku’s description of what they’d been doing together, and then happily curled into Naith’s embrace. She sighed softly when Ben curled up behind her.
Chris reached for Daku, pulling him onto the bed with a happy sigh, and they held each other close as, for the first time in months, the future seemed just a little bit brighter.
* * * *
“Mmmm, I like having you naked in my arms,” Naith whispered into Felicity’s ear as Ben pressed soft kisses to the back of her neck. “Are you tired after being with Daku?”
“No,” she whispered, pressing her bottom back against the hard cock Ben had been trying to hide. “I’m actually starting to feel wide awake.”
“Can we make love to you, Flick?”
She looked over at Chris just in time to see his warm smile. It seemed incredible that anyone could be so accepting of such and unusual relationship, but it was obvious Chris wanted this for all of them.
“I’d like that,” Felicity said, answering Ben’s question in a soft voice. She almost giggled at the out-of-character behavior. She’d never really been the shy type, but around so many gorgeous men she felt impossibly feminine. It was quite funny since being male or female had no real bearing on the relationship they were building.
