“No! I’ll handle him. He’s my father and he has to listen to me at some point. I’ll make him listen,” Shannon insisted.
“The fact that Hastings came to see you were okay for himself says a lot more than you think.” Milton hugged Shannon.
They helped her into bed and pressed close, holding her.
“I’m just glad I had my adoptive parents and not him. Poor Bonnie.” Shannon closed her eyes.
“Hey, you need to stop worrying about anything except rest. It’s over.” Ross kissed her neck.
“I can’t sleep.” She shifted to sit up against the pillows. “My brain is buzzing.”
“You need to sleep.” Curtis tucked the blanket around her.
“Then you guys entertain me.” She sat quietly with a smile on her face.
“You want a sex show now?” Gavin asked.
“If you want me to lie here and rest, yes. I’ll join in if you like.” She tugged off her shirt and wiggled out of her pants.
Curtis watched her toss her clothes over the side of the bed then unhook her bra and let it fall. “You promise to stay there? Not to join in?” Curtis asked.
“I swear I won’t touch any of you.” She slid her hands under the sheet.
Curtis saw the spark in Shannon’s eye and decided to satisfy her and take the stress out of the group of men. Sitting and waiting wouldn’t help anyone. Curtis kissed Ross and pulled off his clothes. Ross followed the example, undressing Curtis as well. Naked, they stroked each other’s cocks. Curtis looked over and saw Gavin and Milton naked and teasing each other as well.
The chill of cool lube on Curtis’ ass made him tremble. Milton pushed Curtis facedown on the bed toward Shannon. Shoulder-to-shoulder with Ross, Curtis lifted his ass. Milton stroked Curtis’ cock and filled his ass. The view of their female enjoying them only made Curtis more turned on. The stretch in his ass was intense.
Ross groaned as Gavin filled his ass. Curtis watched them for a few minutes and looked at Shannon. Her hands were moving between her legs, and he tugged off her sheet off to reveal her body. Ross grabbed one of her hands and sucked her fingers.
Her other hand still rubbed her slit, but Curtis couldn’t resist. He snatched her other hand and licked her fingers before scooting forward. Milton followed, and Curtis ate her pussy eagerly. Her sweet juices flowed as she spread her legs and tilted her hips.
While pleasing Shannon, Curtis enjoyed the pounding his ass took. Then Ross began sucking Curtis’ cock. Curtis looked over to see Gavin’s big cock spreading Ross’ ass. The moans and groans grew louder, and Shannon’s sighs joined them as Curtis sucked her clit harder.
Ross’ tongue worked the tip of Curtis’ member, and he lost control. Rocking back, Curtis came while moaning against her Shannon’s cunt. Milton came next then Ross bucked hard on Gavin’s erection. The grunts made Curtis look just as Ross’ cum landed on Shannon’s thigh.
Curtis licked up the cream and saw Gavin speed up his thrusts and hit his orgasm quickly after Ross. Curtis flicked her clit with his tongue as he heard Gavin’s moans. She dug her nails into Curtis’ scalp and held his face to her pussy while she gasped and trembled.
The men unlinked from each other and dumped the used protection. Ross and Curtis cuddled Shannon from either side. She was thoroughly relaxed.
“Like it?” Ross asked.
“Definitely fun to watch.” She kissed Ross then Curtis.
Gavin and Milton joined the group and pulled the covers over them.
“Still more fun to be the focus, right?” Milton asked.
She shrugged. “You guys were right. I’m exhausted after today. That was perfect fun. I’ll have my energy back tomorrow so I can fully enjoy all of you. First, I need some sleep.” She leaned over and kissed Gavin then Milton.

Three days later, everything seemed cleaned up. Dreamland had been buzzing around the clock but finally things had calmed down. Shannon walked to Hastings’ office, breezed past the assistant and barged in on him.
Slamming the door behind her, she stared her biological father in the eye. “You owe me answers about my life and I’m not leaving until I get them.”
Hastings sat back. “Sit down. Calm down.”
She sat but refused to let go of her anger. “First, Samantha had no idea I was in the plane. I got there first and hid. I hope you didn’t take any of this out on her.”
“She explained that, and no, I haven’t taken any action against the pilot. You had no business being there. We were extremely lucky that no one was injured.”
“You don’t get to scold me when you didn’t raise me. Do you think the aliens got the message?” she asked.
“There have been no reports of activity anywhere on Earth. We’ve done our best to monitor their communications. The Keelon planet tried to contact their ship. We returned a message that they were destroyed and any other ships would meet the same fate.” Hastings smiled. “No response, but I’m pretty sure things will be quiet for a while.”
“Good. Then I want out. My guys and I can move somewhere else. All of the alien men and group relationships can. No one should be forced to stay here against their will.” Shannon folded her arms.
“We can arrange for you to move to another base for now.”
“More military?” she asked.
“For now, yes. It’ll take a few months to see if the Keelons send more ships or not. We can’t risk the general population. You understand that?” he asked.
She nodded. “I don’t want anyone in danger. But after six months, we’re free to move wherever.”
“I need a year, but you can pick from a list of locations, and you can work as an astronomer there, as well,” Hastings countered.
“And it goes for all the groups? Bonnie, too?” Shannon asked.
Hastings nodded. “I was keeping both of you. Father was never a job I did well. This is.”
“So was I just a hybrid experiment?” she asked.
“No. It wasn’t planned. Your mother was the only female survivor. She’d hidden on a ship and took some sort of escape pod. Her group of men wasn’t very good to her. Some of the warriors can be very crude. We raised these men from a young age. The men you’re dating are not true Keelon warriors.” Hastings sighed.
“I know. They’ve told me they’d rather die than go back. I’m glad my mother escaped. I’m amazed she’d ever want to be around men again, including you.” She shook her head.
“I do have a nice side,” Hastings said.
“You’re not exactly a beta male.” Shannon couldn’t see him cuddling Bonnie as a child, a puppy or even a grandchild.
“She needed someone to make her feel safe and respect her space. In time, she came to trust me. I keep my word, and I’m dependable. My work does come first, but things happen.” He cleared his throat.
“Don’t want the details as long as she was willing.”
“She started it. Stranded on a strange planet can be very lonely. It didn’t last long.” He nodded. “Bonnie’s mother and I patched things up, and I’ve never strayed again.”
“And my mother didn’t want to raise me?”
“She did, but she knew how dangerous that would be. After you were born, all of our tests showed you were behaving and reacting like a normal human child. We found a couple of retired military personnel looking to adopt. They knew you were special and medically had to be treated at only certain places.”
“You never saw me growing up. How could you do that?” Shannon couldn’t imagine it.
“I checked in with the adoptive parents at regular times. Your mother fell ill. We couldn’t cure her. There’s a lot we learned from testing and monitoring her. We didn’t want to confuse you.” Hastings shrugged. “There’s no excuse other than it’d be too hard.”
“But you could pluck me out of my life and bring me here without explanation? Just let me sit there and not tell me who you were? Not let Bonnie tell me she’s my sister?” She shook her head. �
�You’re right. You’re not a good father.”
“You can have contact with your adoptive parents. They may not understand your new relationship, but that’s something I’ve come to accept. Bonnie refused to keep hers from her mother, and it’s made holidays rather awkward.” Hastings frowned.
“Do they know I’m half alien?” she asked.
“Yes. They had to. If you were ever in any danger as a child, we’d have brought you in the same as we did now. I’m sorry your life wasn’t ideal, but I don’t think you’d trade with Bonnie,” Hastings said.
“It might’ve been easier if I’d had a sister. Being an only child wasn’t fun for either of us.” Shannon studied the man and decided she and her sister needed to plan their future for the next year where they could get to know each other better. “When do you need to know where we want to go?”
“I’ll make lists available. We probably can’t move you for a couple months so you have a few weeks to decide,” Hastings told her.
“Thank you,” she said.
As she left, she knew she’d never have a warm and fuzzy relationship with Hastings, but she had her real parents. Poor Bonnie only had him for a father. No one had an ideal life, but she wasn’t going to take a backseat in hers ever again!
Epilogue
One year later…Somewhere in the Pacific North West
Shannon had had the day circled in her mental calendar since she’d made the deal. Finally, it was here!
Bonnie popped the cork on a big bottle of champagne as it turned midnight. No Keelon ships had been recorded around Earth or in the solar system since that big crash in Dreamland.
“It’s really over,” Shannon said as she took a glass.
“You didn’t believe they’d go away?” Curtis asked.
She sipped and shrugged. “Did you? There were so many abductions and visits. I still can’t believe a little powder did that much damage.”
“Biology is fragile. Meg got a huge promotion out of it.” Bonnie flopped on the couch in the observation room. Shannon was the resident astronomer here. Watching the stars was her passion, and now, she could do it without a worried eye for an ugly ship. She’d still watch for aliens and hope some were good out there, but she was in no hurry to meet any extraterrestrials.
“So what do we do now?” Gavin asked. “Do you want us to leave the military?”
Looking at her hunky guys, Shannon knew the decision had to be made eventually. She’d refused to discuss the future before the year was done. Getting her hopes up only frightened her. “I don’t know. I sort of like it here. I’ll never get equipment and access like this at a University. It’s astronomer heaven.”
Bonnie nodded. “I can see that for you. I don’t mind being away from dear old dad, and it’s better here. My photos of the Aurora Borealis are pretty popular. You get to look at the stars, our guys have jobs and we don’t have to move.”
“And if anything bad does happen, we’re already at a military base.” Shannon smiled. Her sister liked being farther north and away from Hastings. They’d made lives here. Some of the groups had moved elsewhere. Meg and her men had stayed in Dreamland. Shannon was just grateful that Meg’s biological weapon worked.
“Exactly! Plus we can have the military benefits. We can contemplate kids now.” Bonnie grinned at her trio. “Not sure I want to have any.”
Shannon understood. The hybrid thing was rough for a child. “I’ve been back and forth. But I want kids. I could adopt, but it’d weird enough with four fathers.”
“I don’t think that’d look normal on an application.” Bonnie finished off her first glass of champagne.
“Probably not. We should have a reunion of all the alien guys. It’s a weird group.”
“Vegas would be good for that. I don’t mind as long as we don’t invite dad.” Bonnie rolled her eyes.
“You went there for Thanksgiving,” Shannon said.
“You didn’t. I went for my mother.” Bonnie shrugged.
“Maybe if you had a child, you’d understand why he did what he did. I know he wasn’t great, but he didn’t abandon you and your mom. You had money, benefits, college and a home. If you’d had a sibling, it might’ve been better.” Shannon smiled.
“Well, I have a younger sister now. I’d have died to protect you. It’s a scary feeling. You have a baby first and tell me. Maybe a sweet little niece would make me understand?” Bonnie chuckled.
“So bottom line, we’re staying?” Milton asked.
Shannon nodded. “Let’s go celebrate a Keelon-invader-free year!”
“Is the baby-making beginning already?” Bonnie laughed then headed for her guys. “I just want sex.”
Laughing, Shannon followed her guys to their quarters and fell into bed. The fear was gone, and now, their lives could begin.
