The Keepers Collection

by Pepper North

  “I miss my friends,” Payi said sadly.

  “Me, too, but I bet they forgot about me pretty quickly. I’m sure by now, anyone I knew is really old or dead. I’m here,” Srah said easily. “It seems very hard at first, but you’ll settle in here. It’s not a bad life - just different. You’re the closest human to me now. You’ll get to meet the others that are on our segment of the Nrantia. Our Keepers have decided that we need to see each other regularly, so we meet. I don’t know how Nranians keep time, but it feels like a month of greennesses. Hopefully, Oreg and Yoha will let us see each other more often,” Srah added with a smile.

  “I’d like that, too,” Payi smiled.

  “Oh, no. You’ll have to excuse me. I have to use the bathroom,” Srah said with a panicked look on her face.

  “You get to use a bathroom? Oreg told me that I’d have to use my quobon for the rest of time,” Payi’s voice got quieter as she watched Srah bend slightly and begin to push. “Oh, my, good gracious,” Payi thought to herself. “She’s going to the bathroom.” Payi saw a motion at the door, and Yoha walked in to pick up Srah.

  “I thought that medicine would work just about now. Payi, why don’t you talk to your Papa? Oreg is just in the other room,” Yoha suggested as he laid Srah down on the high, changing table. He turned back to Srah and pulled her feet back with two arms while releasing her quobon with the another. He pressed into her stomach, and Srah groaned. Payi quickly ran from the room.

  She ran to Oreg and draped her body across his lap hiding her face against his purple fur. She felt one of his big hands begin to rub her back. “I think it is time for us to go back to our home, Payi. Is this okay with you? I will bring you back to visit another time,” Oreg asked. He could tell that Payi was upset. Yoha had asked Oreg’s advice when they had talked earlier. Srah was not passing solid matter into her diaper. Yoha knew that this was unhealthy. He asked Oreg for a suggestion to help her system regularly pass solid material into her quobon. Oreg had named a substance that could be mixed into the human’s bottle. Yoha had promised to try it right away. Oreg smiled. It appeared to have worked well.

  Chapter 9

  Oreg walked quickly back to his home. The greenness was beginning, and he wanted to get Payi home without any problems. His little human was clinging to his shoulder. He could tell that she was thinking too hard. “Little one, you are very quiet. Did you not enjoy meeting Srah?”

  “She was very nice,” Payi said slowly. “I’m glad I met her. I’m sorry there are other humans here, but it was nice to see someone from home. She calls Yoha, Papa,” Payi said and then became very quiet.

  “She began calling him Yoha, but as time evolved and their bond grew, Yoha asked that she call him Papa. It is an endearment, is it not from Earth?” Oreg asked lightly.

  “Yes, but it is used for someone that is your parent. You know, someone that takes care of you, helps you learn, and cares for you more than anyone else,” Payi started, and then her voice trailed off.

  “It sounds like Papa is the right name for Yoha. He takes very good care of Srah. He has helped her learn about Nrantia and how to be safe and happy. He cares for her above all other beings both human and Nrantian,” Oreg said gently. He allowed carried her silently allowing her to process everything.

  “Will there be a time that you want me to call you, Papa?” Payi asked.

  “I would be very pleased to be your Papa, Payi. When you are ready to call me something other than Oreg, it will be time for my name to change. There is no schedule for this. It is when you feel ready.” Oreg continued walking. He rubbed her back softly and kissed her on her exposed neck.

  Immediately when Oreg’s attention was distracted by his human, a large derisp jumped from a tree to land on his head. Hampered by the precious bundle in his arms, Oreg immediately squeezed Payi to his side with one arm as he ripped the derisp off his head with his other two full arms. He couldn’t fully use the rejuvenating arm, and he was thankful that this was a large derisp but it was young. He was able to confuse it and finally grab it below the head and squeeze until it’s thrashing ceased for a few long seconds. Oreg tossed the derisp’s carcass into the brush and immediately began running to his sheltering home. Derisps always hunted in groups. More would attack if they could overtake him.

  Oreg was aware that Payi was trembling and crying. He held her close to his body but needed to maintain his breath to run. He couldn’t waste energy talking. Finally, the home was in front of him. He raced to the door and pressed his hand against the panel and ducked as a derisp jumped. Due to his artful dodge, the derisp crashed into the wall and was stunned. Oreg threw himself and Payi inside and pressed his hand against the panel to close the door. It seemed to slide amazingly slowly until it finally sealed itself closed. Oreg sat on the ground with Payi crushed against him. Two of his hands were covered by the life goo of the derisp, Unfortunately, this had gotten smeared on Payi as he clutched her body to him. Oreg began to brush away the goo while telling Payi quietly that she was okay.

  Payi looked at him with large shocked eyes before throwing her arms around his neck and squeezing him close. “I hate those things. I’m never going out again,” Payi swore. Then, she pulled back abruptly. “Are you okay,” she started running her hands over his arms and chest investigating all the spots where goo clogged his beautiful fur.

  Capturing her waving hands, Oreg smiled at his little human. “I am fine, Payi. Nrantia is beautiful. You will want to go outside again. It appears that the derisp population has gotten too large and they are becoming desperate. I will alert the neighbors, and we will deal with the overpopulation. That way I make sure you are safe during the pinkness hours. You are still to be inside before full greenness fall,” he said looking seriously at Payi.

  “Now, your Keeper has gotten himself and you dirty. We will need to both get cleaned up,” Oreg picked Payi up and carried her into a room she had never seen. On the far side of the room, Oreg pressed his hand against the panel, and it opened to show a small room that was totally white and without any furniture, fixtures or decoration. Oreg pressed a few buttons before beginning to remove Payi clothing. When she tried to escape his hands, Oreg spanked her bottom saying, “Payi, you need to let me take off these clothes. They are smeared with the derisp lifeblood.” Looking at him horrified, Payi began to undress quickly. When Oreg removed her quobon, he dropped her clothes into the recycler and carried her into the bathing chamber.

  Payi looked panicked when the door sealed, and a liquid began to rush into the chamber rapidly filling it. “Oreg, I can’t breathe underwater. Make it stop.”

  Her keeper simply picked up a handful of liquid and began to spread it over her chest. Instantly it foamed with a wonderful fragrance. The water kept rapidly flowing until it reached the middle of Oreg’s chest. He held Payi high in his arms, so she was safe. He quickly distracted her by stimulating her sensitive breasts. He rubbed circles around them and pulled slightly on her nipples. He saw her eyelashes fall to rest on her cheekbones as her mouth opened on a gasp. Oreg leaned her slightly back into his supporting arm and washed down her tummy to the black curls guarding her sensitive folds. He smiled as she instinctively widened her thighs granting him access to wash and caress her. Oreg brushed her delicate bundle of nerves several times before pressing a finger at the entrance of her vagina using both her natural lubrication and the cleansing fluid in the bathing chamber to slide his finger inside her deeply. As he moved his finger slowly in and out, he pressed a finger from another hand into her rectum mirroring the penetration. Immediately, Payi’s eyes flew open, and she looked frantically at him.

  Oreg leaned over and pressed his lips against hers. He had learned this pattern of human interactions from one of the male humans that he had helped adjust to his new life. This could be comforting or stimulating for the humans. Oreg was pleased as Payi’s soft lips responded to his kiss and he felt her inner channels squeeze his fingers. It did not take long before his little human was cryin
g out his name and pressing kisses to his lips. Payi was very responsive. Oreg could feel his sexual organs filling and extending out of his lower abdomen through the slit disguised by his fur. He allowed himself to enjoy the feel of the warm cleansing water sliding subtly over his neeblings. He had never allowed a human to see these sexual organs. No one had come close to arousing his desire to mate. Payi was his perfect match. He did not wish to scare her, so he tried to hold her high on his body away from the large protrusions. He carefully finished bathing her limp body. As he cleaned her face, Oreg dipped her long, black hair into the fluid and rubbed her scalp gently.

  Payi didn’t know how Oreg was able to stimulate her body so easily. She’d had a couple of lovers in the past, but she had been able to orgasm during sex. Each had been very disturbed that had not been able to elicit a powerful response from her and had quickly ended their relationships. Payi had given up hope thinking that she was cold, maybe even frigid. “Maybe I just needed an extremely tall alien with soft purple fur to have an affair with,” Payi thought giggling aloud at the ridiculous thought that she could have imagined her current life.

  Oreg nuzzled her neck affectionately. “I would love to know what you are thinking, Payi.” Payi just shook her head and clung to his torso tightly. Oreg was glad that whatever she was thinking had taken her mind away from thoughts of their encounter with the derisp. He wanted to make sure that he had cleaned all the mess off his body. “Hold on tightly, Payi. Now that you are clean, I will make sure that I am also clean. His hands began to spread the fluid through his short fur on his arms, face, and shoulders. He felt Payi lean back and begin to wash his torso. Urgently, he grasped her bottom to pull her higher, but it was too late.

  Payi’s eyes flew to meet his as she felt his neeblings press rigidly against her bottom. She bounced tentatively and heard Oreg groan. “Did I hurt you? Are you okay?” Payi scrambled to lean away from his body holding on to one of his arms as she floated in the fluid. Through the clear liquid, she could see two large blue items emerging from Oreg’s lower abdomen that had not been there before they had begun bathing. Her face blushed red in a streak of shyness as she realized what she was seeing.

  Chuckling at her reaction, Oreg pulled her close. “You may remember from your computer time that there are organs on a male Nrantian that are usually protected within his body. Those are my neeblings. My body and mind enjoy being close to you. My neeblings have responded to my desire by preparing themselves.”

  “Preparing themselves for what . . . oh!” Pavi realized what Oreg was telling her. She pushed back to look back through the water. She decided to be brave and ask, “Can I touch your . . . neeblings?”

  “Is that what you want to do, little human?” Oreg’s expression did not waver. “My body is aroused. I will not be able to contain my natural reactions.”

  Payi reached a small hand down to rub down the side of one neebling before touching the other. She felt Oreg’s body become rigid at her tentative touch, but he didn’t try to stop her. Payi became more brave. She ran her fingers down to the base of his neeblings and discovered that the two appendages were stacked one above the other. They alternated in size with one becoming larger as the other shrank to a smaller size. In this case, the smaller size was still bigger than her two lovers’ penises. Payi began to pull slightly at one and then grasp the other to rub down the length of it. Payi jumped as Oreg’s large hands closed over hers and began to show her how to best pleasure him. She began to feel vibrations in the neeblings and then, each one inflated in width starting at the base and racing toward the tip where Payi watched a light purple plume of liquid spread through the bathing fluid. Payi looked up into Oreg’s face and smiled.

  “You are the first human or Nrantian to arouse my neeblings. Thank you, Payi for the pleasure,” Oreg said simply. He quickly washed his face, neck, and shoulders before pressing the button to allow the cleaner to flow from the chamber. Immediately, a warm gust of air began to flow across the area drying their skin and fur. Oreg opened the door carrying Payi out and into her nursery.

  He laid her on the high, changing table and spread her legs widely apart before holding them off the surface of the table. Payi could feel the air on all her private areas as they were exposed to his view. Oreg hushed her protests as he again opened a door in the wall above her pulling out a small jar and spreading it thickly over her pubic hair between her thighs and even spreading some between her buttocks. Payi felt the cream warm slightly and then, cool. Oreg wiped a cleansing cloth across her removing the hair with each stroke. Payi looked down to see herself bare. Somehow, losing that symbol of adulthood made her feel very little.

  Chapter 10

  The next day, Oreg had scheduled to be very quiet. His human would go to the doctor’s office tomorrow. He wanted her to be well rested and prepared. Humans, he had observed, easily became stressed during the physical exam. Payi would need to visit the doctor regularly to remain healthy. Oreg wanted her first visit to be as easy as possible.

  Following their shower last greenness, Oreg had considered taking his human into his bed for the night. However, after he had removed her hair covering her private areas, Payi had seemed very overwhelmed and tired. He had simply held her in his hands and allowed her to drink a bottle of human formula. Almost before Payi had finished the bottle, her eyes were closed and her breathing deep and regular. Oreg had simply laid her gently in her special bed and lowered the clear screen to make sure she was safe overnight. He had watched her roll over on to her belly with her quobon wrapped bottom pointed into the air.

  This morning, Payi had almost been bouncing with energy when he responded to her calls to him. “Payi, I am glad to see you feeling so well. Have you used your quobon?” he asked with a smile. She was quite a sight with her long, black hair tangled over her shoulders and her pink tipped nipples poking through the tresses. His Payi didn’t like sleeping only in her quobon, but Oreg knew that exposure to the air was important for humans.

  “Oreg, please. I have to use the bathroom,” Payi said urgently.

  “There are no bathrooms here if you are asking for a place to empty your bladder or bowels. Your quobon will absorb the waste,” Oreg patiently said as he lifted the clear screen. He reached two arms in the enclosure to press one on her back and one on her tummy. Hearing her groan, Oreg continued the pressure.

  “No! Stop! You don’t understand. I need to sit to be able to poop. I can’t go like this,” Payi began to cry.

  “Hush, little one. I will help you.” Oreg calmly lifted her out of the enclosed bed and carried her to the changing table. He laid her on her back and bent her legs back toward her stomach while unfastening her quobon.

  Payi immediately recognized this position as the one that Yoha had moved Srah into during their visit. “No,” she protested as the next urge to poop overtook her.

  Oreg’s large hand pressed onto her tummy. “Relax your bottom, Payi. Your waste needs to come out,” he said calmly. Oreg knew that for humans this was a very private activity. Payi would soon realize that a Keeper was in charge of all her body. “That’s it,” he encouraged as Payi was forced to poop in front of him.

  Payi crossed her arms over her face to hide in embarrassment. She’d never even gone to the bathroom with the door open at home. She really didn’t like it when there were other people in a public bathroom. Now, she was emptying her bowels in front of Oreg. “How will I ever face him?” Payi continued to cry. She felt Oreg lift her body away from the soiled quobon and begin to clean her bottom thoroughly.

  When he was done, he set her bottom back on the changing table, and he waited quietly. Silence filled Payi’s room. She could hear him move slightly as his fur rubbed against the table. Finally, she peeked at him between her sheltering arms. Oreg was standing right by her side looking at her thoughtfully. He didn’t say anything.

  “What are you doing?” Payi asked after several seconds.

  “I’m waiting for you to realize that life on
Nrantia has not ended. There was no tragic, life-altering event. You used your quobon, and I was glad to help you. I’m your Keeper. I’m in charge of keeping you healthy and happy. There is no need to be embarrassed about anything. Will you try to let me help you?” Oreg asked solemnly.

  Payi’s mind raced. There were no other options. She would have to realize that her life was irrevocably changed. She was beginning to trust Oreg. She needed him and helping her seemed to be his life’s purpose. She could be miserable, or she could adapt.

  Oreg stood quietly and let his little human work through her problems in her head. She was very intelligent but ruled by emotions. She would figure it out. When Payi nodded her head, Oreg calmly wrapped her in a fresh quobon and picked her up to lay on his massive chest. “Thank you, Payi,” he whispered to her as he wiped her face.

  Chapter 11

  Oreg made sure that the rest of the morning went smoothly. After a breakfast including three new foods for Payi to try, Oreg sat her in front of the large computer screen in the wall and allowed her to learn again at her own pace. Oreg was very proud of the way that Payi could absorb new material. She seemed to gain confidence and emotional stability with each learning segment that she completed.

  When she had worked her way through the basic segments for that day, Payi was allowed to search the databanks for information that she wished to learn. Oreg glanced up from his work when he noticed Payi looking back at him to see if he was watching the screen. He focused his attention on his business efforts while glancing up to see what Payi wanted to learn that she didn’t wish him to know.
