Chapter 92: Now what?The next morning, Chasm woke in the bed of Nebos alone. He lifted himself on his elbows and glanced around, afraid of what was to come. Last night was a blur of Rhylent's taste and Norwell's body and doing things he didn't even know he could do. The one thing that never happened last night was a conversation on clear and concise rules.As he stared up to the ceiling, he tried to figure out what he was supposed to do now. The great leader of the Dagerstanteens said he was only to drink from Rhylent once. He drank from Rhylent, and now that was over. Chasm wasn't sure how he felt about that event as a one-time situation. He supposed sex was like everything else in his life. He had to take the good with the bad. The drinking was one time, and now he would have to forget ever doing it again. He could do that. Chasm had never thought about being inside Norwell before, so he probably wouldn't miss her body gliding over him.Scooting to the edge of the bed, he spotted t

Chapter 94: A pretty mind.In the ship workroom, Rhylent had Chasm pinned and pressed against a Nebos wall. When Rhylent mentioned Chasm's desire, Chasm pulled, and Rhylent let go of his held wrists. Swallowing hard, Chasm placed his hands on Rhylent's chest and pushed as hard as he could. The alien let him go, and Chasm stumbled toward the broken ship. He scooted near a waist-high metal box. Realizing that he'd not put enough space between him and the alien he wanted to have sex with, Chasm dashed to the side and put the carton between him and Rhylent. He needed something to separate them. What he needed was a black hole to keep them apart.Rhylent's eyes tracked his actions like Chasm was his prey. The alien then took measured steps toward the carton, all the time watching him. Rhylent slipped into Chasm's mind with soft, delicate weaving. As soon as Chasm felt Rhylent's presence, he mixed up his thoughts into a sea of nonsense. He jumbled everything, and he hid what he could from th

Chapter 96: Don't lose your heart.A shudder went through Rhylent's frame when Chasm said he trusted him. It was so fast. Chasm knew that on an intellectual level, but his heart cared nothing for the information. They had just met, and Chasm had no reason to give Rhylent anything, let alone his hope or faith, but the feeling was there all the same. Rhylent could have Chasm's belief that maybe this time, he wouldn't be let down and tossed aside.Suddenly, the alien was everywhere. Tentacles stroked over Chasm as if memorizing every inch of his skin and raising his yearning to a fevered pitch. Something inside of Rhylent shifted, and Chasm saw the change when the energy quaked. Chasm was drawn closer, with his heart beating wildly as if the organ might break out of his chest. He turned his head and nipped at Rhylent's earlobe before tracing his tongue over the shell."That is…" Rhylent purred deeply, and his mind scrambled with sensual delight.Chasm smiled and nibbled on his earlobe aga

Chapter 98: Meeting another human.Chasm finished putting the nine sets of gears together. When he was done, he looked up at Rhylent standing at the top of the ship. The alien was stretched with his tentacles above his head. He was adjusting wires, and his body looked bent in a position where all his muscles were flexed. The shape was gorgeous, and Chasm leaned back from his project to enjoy the view. The way Rhylent moved was downright erotic. Watching Rhylent work never got old. Even though he had been fixing the ship with the alien for two days now, he still wasn't bored with the way the Dagerstanteen gracefully turned and twisted."Stop thinking about me like that." Rhylent's command sliced through his thoughts. "Or I will come down and take you over that storage carton again."Chasm nodded and tamed his thoughts even though he wouldn't mind bending over a box a second time. He knew the alien was trying to focus, and Chasm wasn't helping."I need to interrupt your work, Rhylent." K

Chapter 100: Sex in the rain.Chasm half pulled half pushed Rhylent down the hall in his rush to see Norwell. The alien chuckled at his eagerness all the way. When Chasm reached the bedroom, he threw the Nebos aside and raced past the bed. As soon as he entered, he scanned for Norwell. She was nowhere around the room."Commander?" Chasm looked back at Rhylent accusingly. "She is in the garden," the alien said as he gestured with his tentacles.Chasm nodded and stepped toward the large entrance to the outside. Right as he stepped forward, a roll of thunder sounded. Lightning flashed in the sky as he stepped to the threshold. The lightning from the thick gray clouds lit up Norwell. The woman sat in the center of the garden naked on a pile of Nebos. Rain pelted her. The water made her hair curl and stick to her spine and shoulders. Norwell looked perfect as always. Her skin was flawless. The only sign that she had been with JP was the knotted gray fabric strips around her ankles and wri
