“No cracks in the wall or base.”
I wiggled my handheld. “I already checked that.”
“Computers can’t tell you everything, Well,” Deviant said before walking into the building.
“Actually, I can program them to.” I grinned before following him.
We set up our “camp” on the top floor which was one level lower than Beast’s home. It was a spacious area with several rooms and stairs to the roof. I think it must have been some kind of work office back then. There were decayed surfaces and old rusted computers strewn about. Once that was cleaned up, by way of a pile in one room, we started a small fire on the roof for a meal. The sun was just starting to fall when the food was finished. The others sat around marveling at the view while I worked on my handheld. It’s not that I wasn’t astounded or that I didn’t care but I had stuff to get done. Solar panels being my main priority. They were easy to create with the contents left behind and I could always ship some in from Mars. I had to place them on each building in use. Maybe six per building depending on how many people were living within. I was going over the math when Beast sat beside me.
“Dark coming soon.”
“I know.” I sat up straighter. “Kurt set up charges around the entrance that will spray fresh water in case any of them try to climb up. Did you know they prefer saltwater?” I’d been doing research on the creatures too. “They live and breed in salt water. It’s the fresh water that irritates their skin. From what I can tell it strips them of that slime that’s on their flesh and it’s so aggravating that they should go right back into the salt water to replenish it. We already know the sun burns them but I think the extreme cold would stop them too. From what I can tell they’re not immune to the temperatures.”
“Snow is safer,” Beast said.
I nodded, pleased that my theory was correct. “I also figured out why they mutated. You see the original octopus of Earth was a small creature. Humans used to actually eat them. They only live three to five years but were extremely swift in accumulating information. Research from old Earth indicates if they live longer they may have actually become the dominant species on this Earth instead of humans. Well, humans left, pollution damage was done so they mutated. Lived longer and presto, we have huge octopuses that are extremely intelligent and lethal.”
Beast listened quietly as I rambled on.
“They’re not a social species except when they mate and hunt. But most of their time is spent alone.” I knew how they felt. “Oh, you want to hear something fucked up? The octopus penis is considered the males’ third arm or limb. It actually fucking detaches and he regenerates a new one!”
“That sounds … painful.” Beast winced.
“Yeah, no kidding.” I was fascinated and horrified by my findings which is why I switched gears to the solar panel calculations.
Beast stood. “Coming home?” He held out his hand.
Home? Oh, his home. I grinned then glanced at the others scattered around the roof. That would be seriously awkward. “Um…”
“Welliver?” Lily turned away from the colorful sunset over Mars City.
Yeah, that name was going to stick.
“Home,” Beast said, clutching my arm and tugging me toward the stairs.
“What the fuck?” Deviant shoved to his feet.
Beast growled. “Home.”
“He wanted to check out his home and I said it would give me a great chance to connect with the satellite better.” Wow, that lie came right out. “The signal here is weak.” Okay, that was kind of true.
“I think we should all stick together.” Deviant’s, hand shifted to the weapon on his hilt. “You’re not taking him.”
Lily, the angel that she was, grabbed his arm and pulled it away from the gun. “We need that satellite information, Dad. Give him a break. It’s not like he’ll be alone. Beast is a badass. He’ll protect Welliver.”
Kurt snickered but quickly covered it with a cough.
Lily was so damn awesome. I didn’t get a chance to say anything else because Beast yanked me toward him and down the stairs. His dreadlocks bounced against his shoulders and I couldn’t help but be happy that wasn’t me. As much as I wanted to go to his home for some private time, the “damsel in distress carry” was killing me. We rushed out into the fading sun and toward Beast’s home.
Chapter Ten
My cock slowly swelled as we made our way out of the building and to the ladder that would lead to Beast’s home. I made sure I kept my distance from him because I had a hard time controlling myself. I was going to get laid again! Beast had no such qualms. He followed me closely as we crossed over the wide railless arch to his front door. It was already open. I guess he didn’t have to worry about thieves when he was literally the only person on the planet. The moment I stepped through he pushed in behind me, pinning my front to the wall and placed kisses along the back of my neck. “Beast.” I groaned his name. He held me in place with a hand against my back then he shut the main door, baring the outside world. He came back to me a moment later, kissing my neck. His hands sliding under my shirt. I couldn’t believe this was happening again. He really wanted me. I smiled as he lifted the shirt over my head. When I was bare chested Beast sprinkled kisses from one shoulder to my neck and along the right side. A straight line of soft touches with his lips. His arms wrapped around me and I felt the press of his erection against me.
“Too many clothes,” he said then let go of me.
I turned around while I had a chance, leaning against the wall, I watched him slip his pants down. He was so damn hot. I mean, sure there are dozens of sexy guys out there but this one was at the top of the sexy list and he was with me. I grinned again.
Beast took the handheld from me, which I forgot I was still holding and left it on a three-legged table. “Off.” He placed his hands on his hips, cock jutting beautifully between his legs.
I toed off my boots, licking my lips in anticipation. I was a bit self-conscious as I pulled my pants down and my cock came bobbing out. Pasty, yeah, I was pasty. But he’d seen me twice now so this self-conscious shit was all in my head. I stepped out of my pants.
Beast reached out, wrapped his hand around my shaft and started leading me literally by the dick.
Kinky. I smiled the whole way up the stairs and onto the second floor. He spun around when we reached the blanket and finally pressed his lips to mine. I instantly opened for him, savoring the warm tongue invading my mouth. There was very little coordination. We took licks where we could, our naked bodies pressing against each other.
Beast fell backward, landing with a slight bounce on the blankets. He smiled, pointing a finger at me and then his dick. “Suck.”
A man of so many words. I chuckled and lowered to my knees. I felt awkward with my ass in the air, so I lowered to my stomach. My cock was caressed by the blankets as I leaned against his open thighs. “I’ve wanted to do this since I first saw you naked,” I admitted.
Beast lifted a bushy eyebrow, and a dreadlock escaped the bunch and laid over his face, covering one eye.
Leaning down I kissed the skin on either side of his heavy balls. They were slightly darker skinned then the rest of him. I slid my tongue out and swiped it across his balls. There may not be much action for me in the past but I knew how to give a scream worthy blowjob. At least, I thought it was good. Okay, doubts came back but I concentrated on Beast’s face. I licked his balls, caressing each sack with my tongue before I messaged it with my lips.
Beast’s head fell back and his hands fisted the blanket.
Good signs so far. I nudged his hard shaft with my nose before lifting my face and inhaling. He smelt like fresh rain and the woodsy smell of the forest we just walked through. I slid my hands along his thighs, pressing my palms into the muscle to message them as my breath rushed over his erection. One kiss to his bushy base and one to the tip. The foreskin was slightly pulled back revealing his rounded head. The tip was shiny from pre-cum.
Beast growled.
Oh, he didn’t like me teasing, did he? I skimmed my tongue back to the base of his cock. I licked back and forth as I handled his balls. Rubbing them like I would my own before kissing my way back up to his leaking tip. Saliva made his big cock shiny in the fading light that shone through the windows above us. I nipped at the skin below his belly button and then took his tip into my mouth. He tasted as good as he looked. Slightly salty, all soft skin and hard underneath. I swirled my tongue around his foreskin and got a deep guttural groan for my efforts. I tugged on the loose skin, pulling it down so I could suck on his slit.
Beast nearly leapt up, he arched his back, sending his hips into the air.
Oh yeah, that’s the reaction I wanted. I took him in my mouth, just the end of him, because holy shit was he big. I opened as wide as I could and was extremely gentle as my teeth glided over him. Saliva dribbled out of the corner of my mouth and down his shaft. I licked the underside and he moved a hand over my head. I took him as deep as I could, covering the rest of his shaft with my hand. As I fisted him, I licked and sucked on his tip. Over and over until all I could hear was harsh breathing. My mouth was misted with cum on the next suck and I opened wide, urging every drop out of him.
Beast gave a halfhearted attempt to say my name but it was replaced by a groan.
I kept fisting his cock, my tongue swirling over his slit as I swallowed. Mouth empty I pressed kisses along his shaft, easing my hold so I could cup his balls. I finished with a slight nip on his thigh and crawled to lie beside him. My cock was seriously ready for some relief. I tugged on my balls trying to ease the pressure a bit. Masturbation was on my mind but I was surprised when Beast pulled my hand away and replaced it with his own. “You don’t have to.” I was actually used to my lovers getting satisfaction and sleeping while I found my own. Yeah, I know, shitty partners but being the nerd didn’t give me much choice. That ache in my chest formed as Beast leaned over me and began sucking on my right nipple. “I can do that.” Well not that act specifically, I meant jerk myself off.
Beast grunted, his teeth grazed my nipple and he began stroking my cock.
My legs fell open and I thrust upward.
He licked the underside of my flat pec and then down my soft middle. He swirled his tongue around my belly button and then took my cock in his mouth.
I nearly chocked on my own spit as he took me in his mouth in one long thrust. “Beast!” So wet. So tight. So fucking good. I was a damn genius and the best word I could come up with was good. Beast pulled back up and then took my entire length into his throat. I felt him swallow around me and his hand moved to play with my balls. He lifted, sucking at the head and sending drips of saliva to my balls.
“Handsome.” Beast slid his hand to my nipple, plucking it before sucking on the tip of my cock again.
Me? I groaned as stroked me with his hand from tip to base then he did the same thing with his mouth.
“More?”
“Yes.” Hell yes, motherfucking yes!
He licked my balls, nipping at the foreskin around my blushing cock head and then swiped at the leaking slit. He fisted me, up and down as his lips found mine.
“Stay here.” He whispered against my open mouth. “Don’t leave me.”
I wasn’t going anywhere and not just because I was naked and on the verge of orgasm. “Not. Going. Anywhere.” I managed to speak. Who knew that was possible when I thought my body was about to explode into stardust.
Beast kissed me again then shifted down to suck on my cock.
I blew on the first sensual pull. “Beast!” I shouted. Light exploded around me and I shut my eyes to savor the feeling. All too quickly it faded and I was left boneless, gasping like I’d run for miles.
Beast licked his lips and smiled. He lay down beside me, throwing an arm over my middle and wrapping a leg around mine.
My cock began to soften and I glanced at my lover in a post euphoric gaze. “That was amazing.”
“My first time.” He wiggled his eyebrows up and down.
Oh, fuck, what would it be like when he practiced? I really hoped it was me he’d be working on that skill with. I cuddled closer to him. “I meant it. I’m not leaving.” I was enjoying him too much.
He squeezed me and then rested his head on my shoulder. Surprisingly, I glanced out as the last of the sun’s rays shone over the Earth. Such beautiful colors lit the sky, even as the darkness started to grow. I watched it for as long as I could before sleep took me.
Chapter Eleven
I snuggled closer to Beast. We lay on his blankets as the sun began to rise, spreading warmth over the room. It was somewhat chilled last night and Beast was giving off enough body heat to keep me warm. I wrapped my legs around one of his and used the hand to prop my head up. His dreadlocks were pushed out of our way as he toyed with me. A palm against my ass, a finger along my nipple. My cock was half swollen from morning wood already and although sex sounded amazing right now, this was also nice. “What was it like when you first started this place?”
Beast grunted, skimmed his hand over my shoulder and joined our hands. “Fine.”
I hid my smile in the crook of my arm. “You are so damn loquacious I think we might have to use a ball gag.”
“I like your balls,” he said with a wink.
That made me chuckle and I gave his jaw a kiss. “I just mean you don’t talk much.”
He paused for a minute as if he was thinking about what I’d said then sighed. “Lonely. Here was safe but lonely.”
“And now you have me.”
“Much better.” He nipped at my shoulder before lowering his hand to my hip. “I like you.”
“I would hope so.” Although you really didn’t have to like someone to get laid. Sadly, I learned that fact from my last lover. “I like you too. Maybe even more.”
He lifted a dark eyebrow in question.
“I mean like love. Maybe. I always dreamed of falling in love and getting married.” Oh, shit, what was I saying? Come on genius try to save this! Don’t scare him away yet. “I mean to say that one day I want to get married. Not to you … but not, not you.” Oh, fuck me to Earth, I was screwing this up horribly. Where was an octopus when you needed to be eaten whole?
Beast placed a finger against my lips. “Yes.” He sighed and lay back with his arms behind his head.
“Yes?”
“Yes. I’ll marry you.”
“I … your…” I was literally speechless. He said yes. Was I really asking? Why wasn’t I freaking out more?
Beast laughed so hard that it echoed through the small boxed room.
“Oh, you asshole.” He was messing with me. I slapped him against his abs which he probably didn’t feel and then straddled him. “You think you’re funny. I nearly had a heart attack.”
He smiled, placing his hands on my thighs.
“Not that if I asked to marry you and you said yes, it would be a bad thing.” Oh, by the stars, please shut your mouth, Well!
Beast shifted me forward and our cocks pressed against each other.
I leaned down, laying my body against his and kissed him. It was a sweet kiss, slow and soft like we were both savoring each other. How the hell did I get so lucky? Not even a genius like myself could figure out just why Beast liked me.
Lily’s soft voice fluttered from the open window. “No really, it’s okay, Peter, I can do this alone.”
I instantly sat up. What was she doing alone? Why was Peter with her? I fucking hated that guy. Beast must have heard too because he let go of me. I crawled to the window, peeking down to see her by the entrance of the new building. Where was my father? Kurt? Why was she by herself? Not that I thought Peter would do anything. He was too much of a sniveling bastard. Still, even though the creatures slept during the day it wasn’t exactly safe.
“Thanks for offering though. I do appreciate all your help.” I heard her say then her footsteps sounded further away.
“Damn it.” I fumbled to m
y feet, and searched for my pants. I found them and shoved my bare feet into my boots then charged out the door. What the hell was she doing? I climbed down the ladder in record time, faster than when the octopus had been close. That should just show her how much I loved her and that she should take a damn escort next time.
“Peter!”
I moved faster, around the building.
“I’m flattered but that’s not appropriate.”
What wasn’t appropriate? I started to run and skidded around the corner. Peter had grabbed Lily by her upper arms, whispering to her as her wide eyes searched the area for undoubtedly a weapon.
“Peter, please. This is not rational behavior. We’re colleagues.”
Oh for fuck’s sake. “Knee him in the balls!” I shouted.
Peter dropped her arms, spinning around with blushed cheeks. He didn’t even get a chance to say anything. Kurt came leaping from the open window like a fucking bird, an angry, giant one, and slammed his fist right into Peter’s nose. Blood spurted everywhere and I stood there watching the stupid fucker scream. Kurt instantly moved to Lily, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder.
“Are you okay? Did he hurt you?” They weren’t words spoken by a concerned colleague as Lily had called them all.
Was Kurt interested in Lily? Well fuck, that would explain why I wasn’t his type. I glanced at Peter who scuffled to his feet. “You shithead.” Peter, not Kurt.
“I didn’t do anything! Why the hell did you hit me?”
“You touch her again and I’ll do more than hit you,” Kurt warned.
“And when he’s done with you I’ll start,” I threatened. As far as threats go I knew it was weak but hey, two seconds ago I was thinking about getting my dick sucked and now I was thrust into protective brother mode. It took me more than a minute to make the transition. “You have no right touching her.”
Kurt blocked Lily whose cheeks were pink. “It’s okay. Guys, stop. Please stop. I just think Peter didn’t understand what I was trying to say. Stop threatening him.”
